Creatures of the Endless Sea

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Gu Chen's attention immediately turned towards the seaside.

At that moment, the waves crashed over, and the seawater was frantically receding back into the ocean.

And now, large numbers of creatures are surging towards the shore from this receding seawater.

There were enormous crabs, large in size and bluish-black in color, that swam sideways across the water at great speed, their legs covered with sharp spines.

There was another standing creature that looked very similar to a lobster, but it was much larger, almost as tall as a person. It had two thick legs that extended forward from its end, and its two antennae on its head were also covered with sharp points.

In addition, there are giant sea urchins, with water flowing beneath them that forms several long legs, which also move at extremely high speeds.

Besides these, there are other creatures, each with a different shape, but all of them are quite large.

At this moment, these creatures, like an army, are rapidly advancing towards the shore.

"These things..."

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the city lord not far away, and asked:

"What are all these things?"

He sensed that the aura of these emerging marine creatures was not weak, and judging from their momentum, they were definitely in a chaotic situation like a beast tide.

"The... the Upper Sect, I don't know either."

The city lord was also stunned at this moment:

"I've never seen anything like this in all these years."

Compared to these, the ones salvaged from the ocean in the past are simply too small.

These crabs and lobsters, now the size of a person, are simply terrifying.

"Is this the first time it's appeared?"

Gu Chen frowned even more deeply.

These creatures are very fast, and while everyone was observing them, the first ones that came out have now approached.

Swish, swish, swish.

Suddenly, several lobster-like figures appeared, their bodies slightly arched, then suddenly unfolded, causing the surrounding water to surge. They leaped into the air and shot towards the distant flying boat.

The speed was so fast that many curious people on the airship looked astonished.

"Holy crap, this thing can jump really fast!"

The exclamation of surprise lasted only a moment.

The next moment, screams and cries of pain suddenly rang out.

Many people were caught off guard when the lobster approached. Its long, spiky antennae, when swung, contained terrifying power. When they hit the body, they not only tore the skin open, but also sent people flying.

At the same time, the water flow beneath the giant sea urchin thickened, lifting it high up, and then the numerous sharp spines covering its body detached and shot out.

Whoosh whoosh!

Large swathes of sharp spikes shot out like tiny spears.

Ahhh!

The screams suddenly became even more frequent.

On the other side, those enormous crabs also arrived at the edge of the Linhai City, wielding their massive pincers and slamming down.

Boom boom boom!

Despite the array's obstruction, the impact of numerous giant crabs still produced a series of muffled thuds.

Seeing this horrific scene, the expressions of the people in the city turned pale once again.

"Good heavens, what's happening?!"

The situation outside the city was even more chaotic than inside the city.

"Hurry up, damn it, hurry!"

"A monster is in the sea! Ah--, my hand!!!"

"Don't kill me, I'm just passing by, go kill someone else!"

The crowd was in disarray. Many people recovered from their initial shock and hurriedly urged their flying boats to escape.

In the chaos, there were even repeated collisions between airships, coupled with constant attacks from lobsters and sea urchins.

In an instant, figures kept falling from mid-air, and as soon as they landed, they were surrounded by the surging sea creatures, emitting mournful cries.

These screams usually don't last long before they abruptly cease as the body is torn to pieces.

Linhai City, having become a treasure trove for cultivation, attracts a large number of people.

Now, in a short period of time, it has been transformed into a scene of purgatory.

"My lord, please save everyone again!"

The city lord's lips trembled as he knelt before Gu Chen once more.

Gu Chen remained silent, putting away the communication stone in his hand, and looking past the shrimp soldiers and crab generals towards the Endless Sea.

The terrifying waves of the past were followed by something similar.

It's hard not to suspect that the current situation is being manipulated by some force.

It seemed to be to confirm Gu Chen's idea.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in several places on the sea surface, and the waves converged as if something was about to appear.

At this time, behind Linhai City.

In the void, a flying boat appeared, and figures inside it left the flying boat and fell from the sky.

As the figure appeared, an aura also emerged, and spiritual energy gathered.

Boom!

The almost perfectly synchronized attack instantly shattered numerous marine creatures within a nearby area, clearing a clean space.

"Walk!"

The attack paused briefly, followed by low shouts that echoed in everyone's ears.

At the same time, beams of light flew from the hands of the person who made the move and landed on the ground.

Swish, swish, swish.

The power surged, forming an array that created a barrier.

Those who made the move were none other than the Five Symbols Sect elders who were secretly protecting them.

Although the number of people was small, only about a hundred, they managed to bring the situation under control in a short time by using formations and other means.

After completing these tasks, the elders immediately headed to Linhai City.

"Fortunately, the sect's support has always been quick."

Gu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the elders don't intervene to control the situation, the area around Linhai City today will likely become incredibly chaotic.

At this moment, on the surface of the sea.

Splash splash splash.

Suddenly, a large column of water shot into the sky, accompanied by a burst of steam.

Gu Chen immediately looked over.

Above the water column, a figure was seen. From below, it had a snake-like tail and a fish-like tail fin. Its body was covered with incredibly fine scales, which shone with a bluish-purple color in the sunlight.

Their upper bodies, however, were quite strange, resembling human figures with arms and heads that also resembled human heads. However, they lacked human beauty, as their faces were covered with fine scales.

"What is this?" Gu Chen stared in astonishment.

But he quickly came to his senses, his expression becoming extremely serious.

With the help of the system, he can discern the level of understanding these things possess.

The leader, named Sha Ao, was only at the Creation Realm Seventh Level.

The other figures following Sha Ao were mostly at the Dao Comprehension Realm!

Especially the figure beside Sha Ao, who actually possessed the Transcendent Realm Seventh Level!

A group of fifteen figures—the strength and scale of this display were truly astonishing.

In an instant, Gu Chen made a judgment.

These things are very likely from abroad!

"Run!"

The elder's voice rang in Gu Chen's ears, his voice extremely solemn.
