Zhangze Town. The farmlands were located on both sides of the Huangpu River. Due to the rising river, the vegetables were all soaked in the water.
Early in the morning, the air was somewhat cold. A few old men were still somewhat reluctant to part with the crops they had painstakingly planted.
With the current base city plan, the amount of land available for planting was truly too scarce. The prices of grains and vegetables were also rising. The old men still wanted to earn more money so that their families could live more comfortably in the base city.
"Old Tang, why do you think the water keeps rising?" The old man carrying the load asked his old neighbor.
"That's why we have to move a bit faster. If it's all soaked, we'll have to eat dirt!" The old farmer with grizzled hair said.
The two of them had their backs facing the Huangpu River as they did their best to harvest the vegetables into their baskets.
However, within a few minutes, the icy cold river water reached their ankles.
The two old farmers turned around to look. They didn't know when the river water had completely expanded to the vegetable field. If not for the fact that there were a few houses on higher ground nearby, they would have thought that they had reached the lakeside!
"There's something in the water, there's something in the water!!" The old man cried out in alarm. He was so scared that the pole in his hand fell to the ground.
The old man with grizzled hair looked over and discovered a black shadow wriggling in the water!
The black shadow was extremely large. It seemed that because of its arrival, the entire river water had suddenly surged towards the vegetable field!!
"Hua ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound rang out. The river surface abruptly exploded into thousands of waves. A black carapace water beast soared up and actually covered the large vegetable field in an instant.
The soil was overturned, and a large hole appeared in the mud. The vegetable fields and wooden pavilions were all shattered into pieces.
"Moo!!!!!!!"
The black carapace water beast roared.
In a split second, the entire Zhangze Town seemed to have been hit by a Force 12 hurricane. Not only were the scattered buildings in the fields all blown away, even the cement surface of the roads, transmission towers, and agricultural factories were all destroyed!!
The tranquil town suddenly fell into a panic.
Everyone thought that the Sea Demon would only appear by the sea. Who knew that it would flow upstream along the Huangpu River to an area closer to the land? Such a powerful Sea Demon wasn't something that could be casually dealt with!
"Run to the shelter! Run!"
"Everyone, don't panic. We are magic students from the Pearl Institute. We will hold the monster back. Everyone, try your best to find your family members and escape to the Sanctuary."
"You're still looking for the Qi family? Let's just let one of them escape!"
"Yes, the magicians who went to deal with that monster just now are all dead."
A few students from the university were assisting in the crisis. Many students had even formed a team of Battlemages to deal with the demon creatures that had snuck onto the continent.
However, just now, a small group of mages wanted to stop the black-shelled monster from entering Zhang Zezhen, but they were all killed in less than a minute.
Most sorcerers knew very little about the sea monsters. Even experienced hunters could not evaluate the strength of a sea monster that appeared out of nowhere, not to mention the students who had only participated in the training.
The difference in strength was too great. That Black Shell Sea Monster could instantly kill those Battle Mages!
The puddles of blood made the legs of the students who were helping the people to escape weak.
This was the power of the Sea Demons. They were completely different from the demons on land. Even the unknown Sea Demons that had snuck across the Huangpu River possessed such absolute dominance!
…
"Huangpu River Blood Alert! Huangpu River Blood Alert! A large number of high-level sea monsters have appeared in the river from the estuary to Dianshan Lake. They are attacking the nearby towns!"
An urgent message was sent to Mo Fan's phone. Mo Fan had just arrived in the Magic City. He glanced at the sender. It was from the Pearl Institute.
"I've received it as well. The government and the army are fighting the Sea King's skeleton head-on. I'm afraid it will be difficult to split up the troops to deal with the River Crossing Demons in the Huangpu River. Dean Xiao is leading the students and teachers to join in the cleanup of the Huangpu River to deal with the River Crossing Demons. However, it seems like there are a lot of casualties, "said Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan said the words' a lot of casualties' in a very low voice.
"We can't let our juniors be trampled on by the sea monsters. Come, let's kill our way over and clean up the River Crossing Sea Demons!" said Mo Fan.
"Mo Fan, the South Wing Platoon has sent out the highest level of distress signal. I need to go to the north of Dianshan Lake. It might be related to the lives of the people in a scenic spot and a large-scale shelter," said Mubai.
"I thought the base city would at least be safe with the seawall. I didn't expect the sea monsters to infiltrate so quickly. Hurry up and go. You can ride the Fengluo Yaron, "said Mo Fan.
Since it was a large-scale shelter, there must be more than five thousand people inside. If it was an urgent distress signal, it meant that the shelter would be destroyed in a few minutes.
The Fengluo Yaron was extremely fast. The moment it took off, Mubai could only pray in his heart that the shelter could hold on until he arrived.
…
"Mo Fan, isn't that Mr. Wei Rong from the Fire Element? The first guy you tore apart when you entered the main building," Zhao Manyan hovered in the air with his golden wings.
Mo Fan looked in the direction Zhao Manyan was pointing.
As he thought, a middle-aged man with a messy beard was sprinting along the surface of the river.
The silhouette of a black beast could be seen in the river. He had cast the Sky-Flame Funeral, firing over a hundred two-meter-wide fireballs at the black-shelled silhouette.
"Let go, let go of your claws!" roared Wei Rong.
He slammed into the black-shelled silhouette together with the fireballs falling from the sky, trying to break the beast's claws at all costs!
The beast's claws were similar to those of a lizard, with large fan-shaped webbing.
Luckily, the webbing was soft. Otherwise, the students that were caught by its claws would have been torn apart in an instant!
With the beast's claws broken, the four students were saved. They instinctively fled into the distance.
However, Wei Rong himself was in great danger. His actions had infuriated the black-shelled beast.
"Moo!!!"
Wei Rong was shaken up by the black-shelled beast. Immediately after, he saw the ferocious black beast leap out of the river and open its pitch-black mouth …
Sharp, conical fangs burst out from its mouth. When Wei Rong fell, he saw the densely packed, terrifying fangs, with countless sticky blood stains on them!
"Want to eat people? Have you asked the Demon Pearl?"
