The group rushed out of the cabin and saw a gigantic octopus blocking the yacht's path. Its long tentacles clung to the hull as it tried to drag the entire vessel into the sea.
Just then, a translucent barrier lit up around the yacht. A powerful bolt of electricity shot from its highest point and struck the octopus dead-on.
Bzzzt!
The powerful current scorched the octopus black. All its tentacles loosened, and it slowly sank into the depths.
"Whoa! What was that?" Zhao Qiu's eyes widened.
"That should be the ship's own defensive barrier," Gu Yu said.
"There are plenty of sea beasts out here. Ships inevitably encounter their attacks, so every vessel that heads out to sea has a defensive barrier."
There were mutant beasts on land.
Naturally, there were sea beasts in the ocean.
Most sea beasts were enormous, considerably larger than the mutant beasts on land.
Perhaps, because the ocean was the cradle of life, sea beasts could absorb more power as well.
Dealing with sea beasts was a test every seagoing vessel had to face. Anyone who couldn't pass had better stay ashore, or they would only be sailing to their deaths!
"It's just an ordinary sea beast attack. Nothing serious, so there's no need to make a fuss," Luo Luodong said.
This was perfectly normal.
Going out to sea without encountering a sea beast attack would have been the unusual thing.
"Our destination is a small island two hundred nautical miles away. We should arrive tomorrow."
"We'll run into plenty more situations like this before we arrive. The farther we head out into the ocean, the stronger the sea beasts attacking us will be, so prepare yourselves," Luo Luodong said.
"Understood."
Their destination was a long way away.
They knew only the distance, not the
