The sea wall that was a few nautical miles away was affected by the tide. The roar of the tide completely devoured the spacious wall and knocked Zhao Manyan, who was unable to move, into the sea.
The two assassins didn't expect such an unforeseen event. They both cast defensive skills, barely avoiding the impact of the huge tide.
"Where is he?"
"He's in the sea, I'll go and get him!"
The assassin glanced at Zhao Manyan and immediately turned into a shadow bird, chasing after Zhao Manyan, who was being swept away by the strong current.
"What … what the hell is that!?" Zhao Youqian stood on a piece of land that was submerged by the sea. He pointed at an island that was moving rapidly toward them in disbelief!
The island was enormous. It had a great impact on the people's vision and soul as it approached them at a shocking speed!
"I … I don't know, why would there be a sea beast like that in Venice!?" The man's eyes widened. Even someone as experienced as him had never seen such an enormous beast before.
A huge oil tanker was sailing into the port of Venice. Despite the surging waves, the huge tanker managed to stabilize itself and did not capsize.
There were almost a thousand people on the ship. They had no idea what was going on, either. Some of the stronger ones went to the deck to take a look.
To their surprise, a huge mountain brushed past their ship. Compared to the mountain, their luxurious oil tanker was like a baby in front of a man in his prime. The people in Venice who were watching the scene from afar screamed in shock.
The Seagull was the biggest tanker in Venice. The symbol of the Seagull was clearly visible even from a great distance away. To their surprise, the Seagull was so different from the enormous beast on the island.
Just as everyone thought that the 'Seagull' carrying a thousand people would be overturned by the gigantic beast, the gigantic island beast turned a blind eye to it. It ferociously passed through the ship and headed straight for the furthest part of the sea wall!
"Zhao Manyan …"
Mofan immediately recalled that Zhao Manyan was still at the seawall.
The sea beast was already a few nautical miles away. Its figure was so clear that it did not look any smaller.
Mo Fan recovered from his shock and hurriedly transformed into a shadow bird, flying along the surface of the sea in this chaotic night …
His speed was already very fast, but it would take him a long time to reach the other side of the seawall. However, for the island giant beast, it was just a few steps away.
…
On the seawall, the male assassin realized that the island beast was coming for them. He quickly grabbed his employer, Zhao Youqian, and ran to the other side of the seawall.
"Huan huan ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"
The island behemoth still didn't show its true appearance. The dark night covered its body, and people could only see its huge black silhouette.
Its body directly ran over the seawall. The entire seawall was broken like a twig, and countless wreckage fell into the surging sea.
Zhao Youqian's face was filled with disbelief when he saw the gigantic island beast pass by and sensed that the land was about to be destroyed.
"Nie ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!"
With another roar, the island behemoth suddenly opened its mouth.
It swallowed a mouthful of the chaotic seawater, and hundreds of tons of seawater were quickly sucked into its stomach. This amount of water was close to the storage of a reservoir, and it was swallowed by it just like that.
"Crap!"
The male assassin exclaimed with a startled expression.
The female assassin and Zhao Manyan were in the area. They were like two plankton that had just been swallowed by a whale. They had no chance of fighting back.
"Why did it have to swallow there!?" Zhao Youqian blurted out.
After swallowing both the human and the seawater into its stomach, the island giant beast didn't have any intention of staying. Its body sank slightly below the sea level, revealing its back that was as big as an island … …
It was like a moving island sinking into the sea. The enormous beast that had astonished Venice finally reached the bottom of the sea. Its black silhouette gradually faded into the horizon.
The male assassin and Zhao Youqian were lost in their thoughts for a long time as they watched the island giant beast leave.
Did … did the creature just eat them?
Was it just a coincidence? The island giant beast happened to be absorbing the water, and ended up swallowing the female assassin and Zhao Manyan who were trying to kill Zhao Manyan into its stomach.
"Should we chase after it?" Zhao Youqian asked. Zhao Youqian felt stupid as soon as he said the words.
As he thought, the male assassin with the scar on his forehead said coldly, "A creature like that is considered one of the strongest Ruler-level creatures. It won't be enough to kill all the people in the Assassin Palace. My partner is dead, so there's no way the person you're trying to kill is still alive. Pay me the rest of the money, I'll take her share, too! "
Zhao Youqian was startled. He did not expect the man to remember to take the money when he was in such a terrifying situation.
He had seen Zhao Manyan being eaten by the enormous beast with his own eyes. There was no way the man was still alive, but for some reason, he was not too happy about it. Why did the creature show up out of nowhere when he was trying to kill Zhao Manyan? Were the people of Venice and the Shoreline Alliance a bunch of idiots? How could they not notice a sea creature that could threaten the city had snuck into the bay after so long?
"I'll pay you the full amount," Zhao Youqian said.
The male assassin was a Super Mage, while the female assassin was one of the strongest Advanced Mages. Zhao Youqian had paid a huge price to hire them. If he knew the enormous beast was going to help him, he would not have spent so much money on it.
…
The sea wall was as big as a town, but it was completely destroyed. Its center was completely submerged by seawater.
The old Mages in Venice only realized what was going on. They quickly flew to the area, and their faces darkened when they saw the sea wall had sunk.
Venice was the most famous city of water. There were many Super Mages hiding in the city, yet not a single Super Mage had done anything since the enormous beast showed up.
The whole city of Venice was in a state of panic. The island monster that could cause great destruction was so close to the city, but no one had noticed it.
If the Sea Beast was hostile toward humans, an entire district of Venice would have sunk in an instant!
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that the sea beast on the island was not hostile to humans, or perhaps it did not care about them at all. The fact that the Seagull was not destroyed was the best proof. However, the humans still could not understand why it was hiding there. What exactly was it?
…
Mofan failed to find Zhao Manyan. He asked the people of the Shoreline Alliance to search for Zhao Manyan. He even asked the advisors and students to search the entire seabed, yet he still could not find Zhao Manyan, not even his corpse …
They searched until dawn. The Shoreline Alliance finally brought a person back, claiming that he had witnessed two people being eaten by the Sea Beast.
Mofan was disheartened when he heard the news.
If that was the case, Mofan had no idea where to start looking for the creature.
"Mofan, do you know what the creature is?"
"You said it was following us from Japan. Is that true?"
Mofan had no idea how to answer the questions.
Now, one thing was certain: this island giant beast was the one that caused Miyata's accidental death. It stayed in Xixiong City in Japan, and the girl Miyata stayed on it for a night, mistaking it for an island. Who knew that the island would disappear the next day?
Mofan had also witnessed the same thing on the train. A gray island had appeared in the sea where there were no islands before.
When they arrived at the Shuangshou Pavilion, the Shuangshou Pavilion was alerted to the presence of the enormous creature. Mofan speculated that the creature was following them.
After that, they arrived in South America, which was separated by the Pacific Ocean. Mofan also felt that it was unrealistic for the creature to continue following them …
To his surprise, it was still following them. Not only did it cross the vast Pacific Ocean, it even crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and entered the Mediterranean Sea!
They had no idea how it ended up in the Mediterranean Sea. Either way, it was following them silently!
"Why would it show up?" Mofan was confused by the question.
If it was following them for some reason, why would it show up at a time like this? It was heading straight for Zhao Manyan, and even swallowed Zhao Manyan whole.
Mofan had a feeling that Zhao Manyan was not as simple as being eaten. The creature's level was definitely on par with the Black Totem Snake. If it wanted to harm them, it could have eliminated them all in Japan …
…
After some thought, Mofan had no choice but to ask the Clearsky Hunter Agency for help.
When Old Man Bao learned about the incident, he agreed to investigate it himself.
Mofan knew that Old Man Bao was most likely an old expert who had retired from some powerful organization. Anything that could make him show his face was definitely not ordinary.
"Old Man Bao, what exactly is that thing? It's rare to see something so huge in this world. It's impossible that there's no record of it, right?" Mofan asked through the phone.
"There are quite a lot of creatures of that size in this world, especially in the ocean. Even the strongest Magicians have no idea what's lurking at the bottom of the ocean. I'll need some time and some research to determine its identity. Don't worry, if Zhao Manyan died, he would have died on the spot. It only takes a breath for the creature to kill someone. If he's still alive, he'll be fine. Let's see when the mysterious creature approaches land, and he'll be able to come back on his own … "said Old Man Bao.
Mofan's face darkened. He said, "What are you talking about? I'll go to Hangzhou."
"Either way, it's useless to worry about him. Even if you go to Hangzhou and ask the Black Totem Snake for help, he might not be able to find it. Even the Black Totem Snake wouldn't dare to set foot in the ocean. The ocean isn't as simple as you think! "Old Man Bao reminded Mofan, trying to calm him down.
Even though the Black Totem Snake lived in the water, he was not a marine creature. The enormous creature on the island had been gone for quite some time, yet the Black Totem Snake could not do anything about it. It was unnecessary to ask the Black Totem Snake to travel so far and cause unnecessary panic.
Venice had already lost all its reputation. Everyone was panicking. If the Black Totem Snake showed up again, even a Forbidden Mage would not be able to sit still, and would have to intervene.
It would be a lot more complicated if the Forbidden Magicians were involved.
It was better not to add another problem to the equation.
