It rained that evening.
At first, the rain was only a light drizzle, but after a brief while, it turned into a torrential downpour accompanied by howling winds.
Looking out through the window,
the distant sky flashed with lightning and rumbled with thunder.
The world was a blur. Nothing could be seen at all.
Inside the Base's Command Hall,
Yang Zheng, tall and lean with a red scarf around his neck, said in a deep voice, "Keep a close eye on the activity around the Ink Abyss Water Palace."
"Don't let those giant beasts exploit any openings."
Ink Abyss Water Palace.
This Forbidden Land, numbered "7," was located at the junction of the Yan River and Huaihai—in other words, at the river mouth.
It was an underwater Forbidden Land.
Many giant beasts lived in its waters.
The master of this Forbidden Land was an ape known by the code name "Wu Zhiqi."
According to legend, Wu Zhiqi was a Great Demon, a born Divine Monkey who called himself the God of Huaiwo River.
When Da Yu subdued the Huai River, Wu Zhiqi had committed evil and was defeated by him, then chained beneath the Huai Well.
Because the master of the Forbidden Land within the Ink Abyss Water Palace was also a giant ape with golden eyes and silver fangs, capable of Wind Manipulation and Wave Creation, it was given the name "Wu Zhiqi."
Code Name: Wu Zhiqi Level: Overlord Level 4 Type: Scale Insect Traits: Wind Manipulation, Wave Creation, Lightning Control, Disaster Instigator, Water Calamity
Wu Zhiqi's information flashed through Yang Zheng's mind.
That aquatic overlord possessed abilities such as Wind Manipulation, Wave Creation, and Lightning Control.
As a result, it often whipped up storms at sea or around the Yan River.
