Chapter 465 - 460: The Great Migration of Sea Beasts
Chapter 465: Chapter 460: The Great Migration of Sea Beasts
“Fishing?”
As he looked at the flotsam of sea monster carcasses on the sea surface, Mo Li twitched at the corner of his eye.
No wonder Dad asked me to keep an eye on this guy, Mo Li thought. Initially, he thought his father was worried about Bai Qi’s safety. Now he understood.
“We’ll discuss the specifics later. Let’s deal with these giant sea beasts first.”
Mo Li took out his communication device and sent instructions to the people aboard the battleship. Immediately, a passageway opened on the right side of the battleship, bringing Bai Qi’s mobile outpost onboard. The group then made their way onto the battleship.
“Captain Mo, the giant sea beasts have approached the dividing line. Should we initiate attack?”
A soldier asked Mo Li for instructions.
“First, let’s unleash the dissipation signal. We’re at a disadvantage in a fight against all these giant sea beasts.”
Mo Li shook his head. The ship they were currently deploying was only a small destroyer. Although it had strong overall capacities, it wasn’t enough to take on multiple giant sea beasts at a time.
“Yes, sir!”
The soldier left to carry out orders, instantly activating the disseminator. A distinctive signal was sent into the ears of the sea beasts, and the giant sea beasts momentarily halted their approach.
But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the giant sea beasts once again advanced towards the inner sea.
“Damn it! Looks like we have no choice but to fight!”
Mo Li gripped his communication device and barked out, “All weapons in position, prepare to fight!”
At Mo Li’s command, the atmosphere aboard the battleship immediately became tense. All kinds of weapons were readied, and the Beast Masters on the battleship summoned their pets in preparation to counter the first wave of attacks from the giant sea beasts.
Reinforcements would soon arrive; as long as they could hold out this initial wave, they would be fine.
“I caused this mess, let me handle it.”
Seeing everyone preparing as if ready for a serious battle, Bai Qi scratched his head a little embarrass-ingly and summoned his six pets.
“Master Bai Qi, I know you’re powerful, but sea beasts have greater vitality and strength than ferocious beasts of the same level. And not to mention the sheer numbers… ”
As Mo Li observed the situation, he was about to dissuade Bai Qi, when suddenly the battleship’s screen was overtaken by a dog’s face. The battleship began to uncontrollably retreat.
“Bai Qi, what have you done?”
Instinctively, Mo Li looked at Schuck next to Bai Qi, who didn’t hide his intentions and promptly controlled the battleship to advance rapidly.
“Bai Qi, we are the first line of defense, don’t be reckless!”
“I know, it’s just that the distance earlier wasn’t ideal for battle.”
Bai Qi grinned, and Mo Li and others watched as Schuck’s body melted. A silver-colored metal began to cover the entire battleship bit by bit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!…
Then, with a deafening blast, a stream of golden-clad bullets rained down, falling into the sea outside, and the violent explosion brutally engulfed the giant sea beasts.
The battleship’s own weapon system, combined with the Mechanical Lord’s minor modifications, as well as the added bonus of the Mechanical Heart and Diamond Strength, produced power far beyond the norm.
“Although it’s not as convenient as the energy system, the destructiveness of real ammunition weapons really is high,” Bai Qi noted approvingly. On seeing this, he glanced at Alpha, who instantly understood, drew the Sword of Death, and charged into the explosion.
After that, black sword energies emerged from the smoke, and the noisy outer sea gradually quieted down.
When the smoke cleared, the outer sea was still filled with the carcasses of giant sea beasts.
“This… ”
Everyone stared in shock, unable to accept the outcome. This had been the equivalent of a mini sea beast tide. Although they would have been able to fend it off, at least five destroyers or higher-caliber battleships would have needed to be deployed.
Did Bai Qi just single-handedly and effortlessly solve the problem using just his two pets?
“Bai Qi, are you sure you are only a Six Stage Beast Trainer?”
Mo Li looked at Bai Qi in disbelief, voicing the doubt that everyone was wrestling with.
“Of course, what else could I be?”
Bai Qi was in the process of responding when he suddenly felt an overwhelming presence. His face turned serious as he looked out at the sea.
At that moment, even Alpha became aware of the enemy hidden beneath the sea, watching the front tightly as he held onto his sword.
A large volume of seawater was pushed up by a colossal creature, creating waterfalls as it fell back. Through the gaps between the waterfalls, shadowy glimpses of an extensively scarred dark-colored body could be seen.
“That’s… the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King!”
Mo Li’s eyes narrowed. Without any hesitation, he pressed the red emergency button he always carried with him.
Next, a deafening alarm echoed throughout the Boundary Wall and inner sea regions.
“Bai Qi, call back your pets. We’ll retreat to the Boundary Wall for defense.”
Mo Li patted Bai Qi’s shoulder and said, “The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King is at least of the Six Stage Emperor level, and judging by its condition, it could very well be Legendary.”
“A Legendary Sea Beast?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s face took on a serious expression. He’d been merely fishing and this action had attracted a Legendary Sea Beast, making the situation more significant than he had expected.
“Epsilon, prepare to summon Nicholas.”
Thinking of the huge destruction this Legendary Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King could cause, Bai Qi instantly ordered his pets to contact Nicholas.
But before his pets could open the Jade Dreamland, a massive lobster emerged from beneath a sponge on the opposite side, blocking the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King.
“The Legendary of Stable Sea?! We’re saved this time!”
Upon seeing the Sea Covering Lobster appear, Mo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Bai Qi also halted his movements.
With a Titled Legendary present, there was no need for Nicholas to step up.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mu, stood tall atop the head of Sea Covering Lobster, not cowered by the enormous creature before him. Instead, he questioned aloud.
“This is human territory, why approach without reason!”
After a moment of silence, a deep voice emerged from the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King.
“Humans, it was you who first harmed my kind. I should be asking you what your intentions are!”
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Mu responded, “This is the inland sea, Federation territory. We never have hunted sea beasts outside the inland sea boundary. Now, you have crossed into it.”
Upon hearing these words, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King looked down. Indeed, aside from himself who was still in the open sea, all the other sea creatures had invaded the inland sea.
Even if they hadn’t, they’d been swept into it by the powerful currents caused by his appearance.
The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King immediately fell silent. Xiao Mu continued to say, “You haven’t entered the inland sea yet. If you leave now, I will pretend nothing happened. But if you insist on entering, you’ll face the consequences.”
Upon hearing Xiao Mu’s words, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King finally moved, but not to attack. Instead, it silently retreated a short distance.
Although the movement was small, its intention was clear.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu’s expression softened, “Your kind don’t usually pass through this sea territory. Why did you rashly approach this time?”
The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King remained silent for a long time before replying, “There have been changes in the deep sea, so our entire species has begun to migrate.”
“Changes?”
Xiao Mu’s face changed as if he thought of something. He continued to converse with the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King. However, Bai Qi and the others could no longer hear the contents of their discussion.
“A few words scared off a legendary sea beast? Indeed, a Titled Legendary is imposing!” freēnovelkiss.com
Bai Qi couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. In fact, if he hadn’t used Gamma as bait, the first Tiger Hunting Demon Whale would probably not have come close.
Yet, Xiao Mu handled the situation with a few words and shifted the blame onto the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King. His tact was truly impressive.
Not only Bai Qi, but the others on the battleship also wore expressions of admiration.
Many Beast Masters were active on the Southern Abyss Coast, but without Xiao Mu, a Titled Legendary, holding the fort all year round, no matter how many Beast Masters there were, they still wouldn’t be able to handle it.
You have a lot of Beast Masters, can you outnumber the sea beasts?
Quickly, Xiao Mu’s conversation with the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King ended. After watching the Whale King leave, Xiao Mu then returned to the battleship.
“Xiao Chuanqi, we are in your debt yet again.”
Moving to Xiao Mu, Mo Li expressed his gratitude earnestly.
“Don’t mention it, just fulfilling my duty.”
Xiao Mu shook his head, “But everyone needs to be alert for a while. For a long time to come, a large number of sea beasts might approach here.”
“A large number of sea beasts?”
The crowd’s expression changed. They wondered if Xiao Mu failed to negotiate with the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King and was preparing for a war.
“No need to worry excessively, it’s not a beast tide. There are some incidents in the sea. The sea beasts are engaging in a large migration, so a lot of them will probably pass by here.”
“A great migration of sea beasts?”
Understanding dawned on Mo Li, Xiao Mu continued, “You don’t need to know the specific reasons. As long as they don’t enter the inland sea, we won’t intrude. But once they do… ”
“Show them no mercy!”
“Yes!”
An aura of solemnity emanated from Xiao Mu. Hearing his words, Mo Li and the others straightened their bodies and saluted.
“Okay, clean up here. I’ll start discussions with Master Mo.”
Xiao Mu patted Mo Li on the shoulder, “Bai Qi, come with me.”
“Me?”
Upon hearing it, Bai Qi startled but quickly caught up as Xiao Mu had already walked away. He couldn’t resist turning to Mo Li, reminding him.
“Brother Mo, I killed these sea beasts. Remember to credit me.”
“Don’t worry about it, we won’t forget.”
Meeting those words, Mo Li couldn’t help but laugh. Even if they weren’t acquainted, he wouldn’t dare neglect to credit Bai Qi for killing so many sea beasts.
Bai Qi put away his Six Pets, swiftly mounted the Sea Covering Lobster with Xiao Mu. Then, encased in a water orb, the Sea Covering Lobster started flying towards the Association Headquarters..
“Sea Covering Lobster, It can fly?”
Bai Qi was surprised by this and couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course. Not just the Sea Covering Lobster, all Legendary Sea Beasts including the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King can fly.”
Xiao Mu smiled and said, “How about that, didn’t Celestial Brilliance teach you?”
“He… my teacher is usually quite busy, so…”
Bai Qi scratched his head. Indeed, Bai Heguang focused more on his practical skills and hadn’t exactly covered this subject.
“You’re already a Six Stage Beast Trainer. I’m guessing Celestial Brilliance will teach you soon. I won’t overstep.”
Xiao Mu gave a faint smile then steered the Sea Covering Lobster, landing in the Association’s plaza.
“Let’s go find Master Mo Guan. We must thoroughly discuss the sea situation.”
