Sea King Attack

The next morning, the sky was gray and gloomy, just like everyone's hearts.

Green Cliff was already packed with people. More than twenty thousand people from the entire island had come.

Luo Han, Cole, Uncle Witt, and Uncle Kate stood atop Green Cliff.

Luo Han kept his eyes shut, not daring to look. His fingers clenched tightly, yet the words reaching his ears made his whole body tremble.

"Mom! Where's Grandma? I want Grandma!" "Be good, Dabao. Grandma is on the other side. You'll see her again soon." A mother soothed her child in a choked voice.

"Father! Is Grandpa staying behind?" "Yes! Be strong, and don't hate anyone! If you have to blame someone, blame us for not being strong enough." A father and son spoke to each other.

"Huh! Grandma Mo! Are you staying behind too?"

"I'm old. I don't want to go through all that trouble anymore. Let the others leave."

"You should leave. Little Luo Han has done so much for everyone. If you stay behind, how are we supposed to face Little Luo Han?"

Everyone tried to persuade her.

Grandma Mo only kept repeating that everyone else should leave.

Tears streamed down uncontrollably. Luo Han's heart was like a water-filled balloon, fragile yet heavy.

But what was coming would come!

"Luo Han, Cole, get ready!"

Uncle Witt's voice pulled Luo Han back to reality.

The tears stopped. With a thought from Luo Han, a circular layer of rock, ten centimeters thick and one hundred meters in diameter, detached from the island and slowly floated toward Green Cliff.

Cole also transformed into a three-thousand-meter-long Kun! But in fish form, there was no way for more people to stand on him.

"Alright, everyone, get ready! The young and able-bodied, go to Cole.

"Those with physical disabilities, along with women and children, go onto the circular rock layer Luo Han is controlling!"

"Hurry! Get on first. We're preparing to leave!"

Uncle Kate urged everyone to move quickly. By then, the sky had brightened a little more.

After that, everyone began making their way toward Cole and the rock layer controlled by Luo Han.

Huff! Huff! On the silent Ring Tree Island, only heavy breathing echoed.

The calm atmosphere lasted until only some elderly people remained. Then the cries of children gradually began to rise.

"Luo Han! Don't force yourself. It would be unacceptable if something happened after we got outside."

Seeing the veins bulging all over Luo Han's body, Uncle Witt had no choice but to remind him.

"But everyone hasn't gotten on yet!" Luo Han's eyes were filled with stubbornness.

"Luo Han! Don't be foolish! Don't gamble with everyone's lives.

"If something happens to you midway, then on a sea full of Sea Kings, very few people will survive!"

Uncle Witt furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice.

"But Grandma Mo hasn't come yet!!!"

Uh! Uncle Witt's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his mouth opened slightly. He did not know how to respond to Luo Han.

"Little Han! Have you forgotten what Grandma told you before? You must protect Ring Tree Island! Wherever everyone is, that is Ring Tree Island!

"Grandma is old! I don't want to go outside and struggle anymore!

"Be good, Little Han!"

Grandma Mo leaned on her cane and tapped the ground again and again. Her kind words froze Luo Han's body in an instant.

"Grandma..."

Luo Han opened his mouth, trying to say something, but all he could manage was one word.

"Let's go, Luo Han!!!"

Uncle Witt said through his tears.

Huff... Luo Han let out a deep breath, his expression complicated.

Then he controlled the rock layer and gradually sent it into the sky!

Five thousand meters above Ring Tree Island, sunlight shone upon the people in the air, covering everyone in a layer of rainbow light.

Grandma Mo below on the island gradually blurred in Luo Han's eyes.

Time gradually reached noon!

A roar rang out! A massive shadow began to cover Ring Tree Island.

As a unique scent rapidly spread from the Divine Tree's Scale Fruit, the Sea Kings in the boundary zone swiftly moved, charging toward Ring Tree Island.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Just as the Sea Kings came within ten kilometers of Ring Tree Island, thick roots dozens of meters in diameter shot up from the seabed at high speed.

Like giant pythons, they swiftly wrapped around the attacking Sea Kings. At the same time, vast numbers of Salt-Eating Sharks spread through the sea like spilled green ink, quickly clinging to the Sea Kings.

The Sea Kings also opened their massive mouths, tearing at the roots and swallowing the schools of Salt-Eating Sharks.

For a time, the Sea Kings' attack was forcibly halted, held ten kilometers away from Ring Tree Island by the Divine Tree's roots and the Salt-Eating Sharks.

Soon, blood dyed the sea red. Everything turned red: Salt-Eating Sharks, roots, and Sea Kings.

The battle fell into a stalemate!

Luo Han was somewhat delighted! Could Grandma Mo be saved after all?

Suddenly, everyone felt the sky darken, as if something had blocked the sunlight.

They turned to look!

Hiss!!! That twenty-thousand-meter-long eel-like Sea King had leaped from the sea.

Then, like a snake, it opened its enormous mouth and swallowed downward. A huge group of Salt-Eating Sharks vanished in an instant.

The crab-like Super Giant Sea King also raised pincers as large as small mountains, snipping off sections of roots and putting them into its mouth.

It completely ignored the Salt-Eating Sharks covering its body. Its shell left the Salt-Eating Sharks unable to bite through.

Instead, they were swallowed into its mouth!

After that, the eight Super Giant Sea Kings that had arrived here led numerous Large Sea Kings in a counterattack. The Salt-Eating Sharks gradually disappeared, and the Divine Tree's roots began to hang limply.

Luo Han felt ice-cold in both body and heart as he stared blankly below.

But these Sea Kings... did not seem to be directly attacking the Divine Tree. They were eating the Divine Tree's roots instead.

Seeing this, Luo Han seemed to grasp something!

He closed his eyes and spread out his Divine Sense, carefully sensing the Divine Tree's roots.

Strands of aura traveled from the Scale Fruit and gathered at the roots.

That should be the scent released after the Scale Fruit ripened! Did the scent on the roots cause these Sea Kings to attack the roots while ignoring the Scale Fruit?

Thinking it through carefully, weren't the Sea Kings drawn here by that scent? Whether it was emitted by the Scale Fruit or the roots made no difference to the Sea Kings.

Luo Han thought, That must also be why, during the last attack, even the Divine Tree's roots were nearly torn out entirely!

But as long as the scent remained, once they finished eating the roots, these Sea Kings would still attack the Divine Tree, and Grandma Mo and the others would still...

What other way was there? Luo Han watched the Sea Kings below madly gnawing at the roots.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind! Information!

After all, he had been a college student in his previous life. He still knew some basic biology.

All living beings' perceptions were reactions based on the brain or specific parts of the body receiving streams of information.

Only after living beings received that information did they develop perceptions such as touch, smell, sight, and taste. Just like these Sea Kings now, their bodies had received the scent of ripened Scale Fruit emitted from the roots. In their perception, that was what had drawn them here.

That was why they directly gnawed on the roots here instead of searching for the Scale Fruit that truly emitted the scent.

And if he could mask that scent so the Sea Kings could not sense it, would they stop attacking the Divine Tree?

Hmm! After thinking it over, that still would not work. Even if the scent disappeared, intelligent Sea Kings could still see and remember. They would still attack the Divine Tree.

Unless he could block all five of the Sea Kings' senses...!

At that thought, the corners of Luo Han's mouth curled upward, and joy rose in his heart!

I can use the Mind Fruit's power to manifest an ability that controls the five senses!
