Chapter 1133: Chapter 791: Giant Beast at the Shore (Part 3)
The adventurers rushed to the ship’s edge as if possessed, short ones tiptoeing, tall ones stretching their necks, with expressions of incredulous joy, relief, and eager anticipation written all over their faces.
The Dwarf Baling almost threw the ore in his hand into the sea.
Wolf and Hog forgot their standoff and excitedly slapped each other’s shoulders hard, though the loud slaps were not out of goodwill.
Lia and Elron also stood up involuntarily, their eyes blazing as they looked towards the increasingly clear gray coastline in the distance.
Even the silent descendant of the Stone Giant stood upright, showing excitement for the first time on his otherwise impassive face, while Martha was so excited that she started jumping and shouting.
Everyone was pointing and loudly confirming the sight of the continent that had been hidden for a millennium, now finally appearing at the edge of their vision.
The wave of joy swept over every ship, drowning all the fatigue and monotony of the past two months.
Life at sea was tough.
Boredom was the most wearing thing.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have become so familiar with each other so quickly.
But this joy didn’t last long.
Just as the deafening cheers reached their peak, with countless fingers excitedly pointing at the outline of the shore, the Elf Mage Lia’s complexion suddenly changed.
Her eyes, which had been filled with joy, widened suddenly, staring at the seemingly calm deep green sea surface on the right side of the fleet, her sharp ears uncontrollably twitching, as a strong, deep-rooted fear surged from the depths of her bloodline straight to her mind.
She exclaimed, "Something’s wrong! The ocean... the energy in that area... is churning frantically!"
"Below! There’s something below! Something extremely... extremely huge and frenzied is awakening!!"
At the same time, the scaly Sentinel Kula in the corner suddenly opened his vertical gold eyes, and the spear in his hand began to hum unexpectedly!
His scales bristled, pointing in the same direction as Lia, issuing a threatening hiss from his throat.
However, the Night Watcher’s reaction was even faster than these sensitive perceivers.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep—!"
The urgent, cold, emotionless piercing alarm sounded like a death knell, exploding at the highest decibel in every corner of every ship!
Drowning out all the cheers.
In an instant, all the Night Watcher Warriors aboard moved into combat positions with remarkable synchronization, as if operated by invisible strings.
Cold directives seamlessly rang through the ship’s communication device: "Battle alert! Deck personnel enter cover nearby! Logistic personnel immediately seal lower cabins!"
"Unlock all ship cannons! Energy Core enters combat output mode!"
"Maximize shield charging! Evasive maneuver!"
"Activate full-power deep water detection Magic! Report specific target location!"
"..."
The onboard revelry was instantly frozen, replaced by an overwhelming sense of bewilderment and a suffocating fear!
The joy on people’s faces hadn’t faded before being washed over by horror, with countless pairs of eyes instinctively gazing at the sea surface, searching for that deadly threat.
At that very moment!
Rumble—!!
In the direction Lia and Kula pointed, about a kilometer to the right of the fleet, the originally deep green sea water suddenly surged violently without warning.
The sea surface was no longer just a sea surface, but looked like a gigantic boiling water mound forcefully pushed from the bottom.
The dark green seawater churned with a ghastly white foam of death, revealing an unimaginable gigantic shadow, shrouded in dark slippery scales and countless twisted bone spikes, a terrifying shape indistinguishable.
Like a nightmare come to life, it broke forth from the abyss of the deep sea with ferocity.
The massive waves it brought forth crashed onto the surrounding ocean like a collapsing mountain!
The moment the colossal creature emerged from the waters, it carried a nauseating salty vapor and a pure, untamed frenzy powerful enough to crush souls.
Its thick limbs, covered in ring-shaped suction cups, sharp at the ends like a siege ram, akin to the Evil God’s Weapon, tore through the air.
Engulfing millions of tons of seawater laden with destructive Power, with a momentum to obliterate everything.
Aimed directly at a scale smaller Night Watcher exploration ship within the fleet, which had just been blaring alarms, it struck down fiercely and with unmatched ferocity!
