Sunday.
After Mo Tiankong woke up, he exchanged for an Ba Duan Jin cultivation technique. Today was the day of the lottery, so he washed up and prepared to open for business.
When it was ten o 'clock, the clock on the wall rang and the door slowly opened.
Looking at the situation outside, Mo Tiankong was a little confused. What was going on? Luo Ruo wasn't here and there weren't any warriors waiting for her.
Of course, he couldn't wait any longer. The water outside the door was knee-high and he could smell a fishy smell through the door.
Outside the door, there seemed to be a transparent barrier that prevented the seawater from entering the shop.
Damn, what was going on? Could it be that the tide was rising? But it couldn't reach Miracle City. Moreover, there were city walls. If the city gates were closed, the seawater shouldn't be able to enter.
"System, what's going on?" Mo Tiankong directly asked the System. Something must have happened, but what was going on?
"Last night at around two o 'clock, there was a sea beast riot. A sea beast with the Dao of Water drove the seawater to flood Miracle City."
The System calmly said.
Mo Tiankong was stunned. The soundproofing of the shop was too good. He didn't sense anything at all. Of course, it was also because he didn't extend his spiritual energy outside the shop. To be honest, it was safe inside the shop and there was no need to do so.
After cursing the System in his heart, he became a little nervous. If Miracle City was flooded, then what about Luo Ruo? What about the casualties? Don't just rebuild the city and return to its original state.
"System, what are the casualties?" Mo Tiankong asked with a serious expression.
"It's only a Venerable Realm sea beast, the casualties aren't high."
Hearing the System's words, Mo Tiankong let out a sigh of relief. If Miracle City was wiped out in the blink of an eye, it would be a little hard to accept.
After all, he first came to Sentry Town and knew many warriors. Zhang Tiannan, Zhang Yun, Tang Shen, Kuang Tie, he knew most of the forces.
Of course, looking at the height of the seawater, it was only knee-high. Maybe it was just a joke. But if the seawater was still there, then the sea beast shouldn't have been killed.
Old Man Zhang didn't do his best, but it was really hard to find sea beasts hiding in the sea. He didn't dare to go into the sea to kill them.
Without thinking too much, Mo Tiankong put on Auspicious and went out, flying straight into the air.
The entire Miracle City was covered in a thin layer of seawater. Countless low level cultivators were standing on the roofs as seawater continued to pour in from the distant sea.
There were still a large number of martial artists in the sky, all of whom were above the Martial King Realm. Although the Martial King Realm martial artists in Wuzong could fly for a short period of time, they could not fly for long.
There were also some small-sized sea beasts in the city. Of course, there were very few of them now. Although the cultivation of small-sized sea beasts was not necessarily weak, most of them were weak. After being hunted down by so many warriors in the city, there were not many left.
However, there were also many human corpses floating on the sea. The damned System even said that there were not many casualties, although they were all low-level martial artists and even ordinary people.
When the seawater poured into the city, there were still many monster beasts accompanying it, so the casualties were not small. Although most of the dead were low-level martial artists, there were still quite a few people.
They were still celebrating the festival yesterday, but the sea beasts had already rioted at night. What was going on?
These were all human lives. Although it was normal for monster beasts to kill humans and humans to kill monster beasts in the Profound Sky Continent, Mo Tiankong was still not used to it.
He raised his head to look at the distant coastline. There were dozens of figures floating in the air, looking for the location of the Martial Venerable Realm monster beast. They were also on guard.
The garrison had all retreated to the Antelope Mountain Range in the north. There were many low-level soldiers at the foot of the mountain, but their numbers had decreased sharply. There were probably only fifty to sixty thousand people at the moment.
If the sea beasts had broken through the defensive line, the garrison would have been the first to bear the brunt. Moreover, it was a Martial Venerable Realm monster beast. In just a short moment, tens of thousands of people had died in the garrison.
If they had not retreated quickly, it would have been normal for the entire army to be wiped out. The casualties were not high. Was the System using the population of the entire Miracle City as a comparison?
Moreover, most of the powerhouses in the city should have gone to provide support when the sea beasts had rioted. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to evacuate.
This was a big move. Last year, there were only Emperor-level sea beasts. Why was the number still increasing? Mo Tiankong felt a little pained.
He flew all the way to the coastline. It was a good day for the lottery, but it had caused him to do this. Moreover, there were so many lives lost. Mo Tiankong wanted to kill this guy with his own hands. It just so happened that he also wanted to try the Huaxia Ship. Of course, he could only look in the coastal area.
Mo Tiankong was not a saint. If he had the strength, he would not mind making a move. If he did not have the strength, Mo Tiankong would have stayed in the shop and not come out.
He just had to wait for Old Man Zhang and the others to take care of it. If they could not take care of it, the Aquamarine Empire would send powerhouses over sooner or later. In any case, it would definitely be taken care of within the empire's territory.
Especially since Miracle City had just been built. There were so many powerhouses that they could not just give up. Even if they gave up, after the sea submerged Miracle City, they would still head to Yuanfang City. At that time, Yuanfang City would become the frontline against the threat of the Chaotic Ocean.
However, if the empire did not provide support, the powerhouses would be bitterly disappointed. At that time, they would run to other safer cities and the empire's territory would slowly shrink.
"Store Manager Mo."
"Store Manager Mo."
Flying all the way to the coastline, the powerhouses in the air all greeted him. Mo Tiankong also responded to them one by one.
These were all familiar faces, and they were also the experts of Miracle City. Even Zhang Yun and the others had come, and there were also Martial Emperor Realm and Martial King Realm warriors from various clans.
Kuang Shi and the others were also there. There were also many powerhouses from Yuanfang City. Old Man Lin was also among them.
Looking left and right, other than the powerhouses who stayed in the city, the rest of the powerhouses had come. Now, there were no less than a hundred Martial King powerhouses on the coastline.
However, Mo Tiankong did not see Ye Yun's figure. Could it be …
"Where is General Ye Yun?"
Mo Tiankong looked at the Yeh family's Old Man Ye and asked.
"When the sea beasts erupted, Ye Yun stayed behind to buy time for the garrison to retreat. We did not find him when we came."
Old Man Ye said in a hoarse voice. Ye Yun was the son he was most proud of. He was also the most talented powerhouse in the Yeh family. He had entered the Martial Emperor Realm at such a young age.
Mo Tiankong was also silent. If they did not find him, he might have gone missing. However, it was already confirmed that it was a Martial Venerable Realm sea beast. This possibility was very small.
Ye Yun was afraid that he had already died. Otherwise, they would have found him.
Mo Tiankong didn't know what to feel. Ye Yun had always given him the impression that he was a very righteous person. He had almost all the characteristics of a soldier. In order to increase the strength of the martial artists in the army, Ye Yun had come to the shop several times to bargain with him.
When the sea beasts erupted, he had stayed behind to buy time. The difference between Martial Emperor Realm and Martial Venerable Realm was very big. Moreover, Ye Yun was only a Low Grade Martial Emperor. Even if he wanted to buy time, he would not have been able to buy time.
"Is it a Martial Venerable Realm sea beast?" Mo Tiankong asked again.
"That's right." The one who spoke was Old Man Zhang Zhengfeng.
As a Martial Venerable, he could still sense the strength of cultivators of the same level. Even if the cultivation level of the sea beast was higher than him, he could still sense that it was on the same level.
However, he could not sense the exact level of the sea beast. Unless Old Man Zhang's cultivation level was higher than the sea beast's, this also showed the strength of the sea beast.
It would not be weaker than Old Man Zhang. It could be a Mid Grade Venerable Realm sea beast or a High Grade Venerable Realm sea beast.
When they dared to come, they had already fought. By the time Old Master Lin arrived, there were already three Venerable Realm experts here. Venerable Realm sea beasts were quite intelligent, so they fled back to the bottom of the sea and didn't dare to come out.
Three Martial Venerables. Even if two of them were Low Grade Venerables and one was Mid Grade Venerable Realm, the three of them could still restrain Old Man Lin if they worked together. They might even be able to kill him. After all, there were hundreds of Martial Emperor Realm and Martial King Realm cultivators present.
"Why don't we enter the sea and kill this sea beast? We have so many people," said a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator. He was from the Yeh family. No one knew if Ye Yun was alive or not. The Yeh family had lost a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator. It was a heavy loss.
Although there were more Martial Royal Realm warriors in each force now, there were only a few of them. Every expert was still very important to the force.
"Ye Ran, shut up," said Old Man Ye.
It was not that he did not want to enter the sea to kill the sea beast. However, the sea environment was not very friendly for cultivators. Their fighting strength would be weakened if they entered the sea. Moreover, although they were united against a common enemy, these factions would not agree to it.
Not to mention how many sea beasts there were in the sea, just the sea beast that cultivated the Dao of Water in the sea was already very strong. As for Martial King Realm cultivators, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths if they entered the sea.
Among the hundreds of cultivators, most of them were Martial King Realm cultivators. Even if they entered the sea, how were they going to find Ye Yun? If they split up, they would only be courting death.
In the Chaotic Ocean, sea beasts were very agile. Their strength was greatly increased. It was very difficult to kill the sea beast with two Low Grade Venerables and a Mid Grade Venerable Realm cultivator.
There was basically no hope. If they could not defeat the sea beast, why not run? If they lured a few more Martial Venerable Realm sea beasts out, they would all die in the Chaotic Ocean.
"But Ye Yun …" That Martial Emperor still wanted to say something, but Old Man Ye glanced at him and didn't say anything else.
Mo Tiankong also began to think of a way. The sea beast did not show itself, but it was still controlling the seawater to enter Miracle City. This meant that the sea beast wanted to kill the cultivators of Miracle City. Was there such a big grudge?
He also had some ideas in his heart.
"I have two ideas. Everyone can take a look at them."
Mo Tiankong immediately said.
"The first idea is to massacre the sea beasts near the sea and see if we can lure the sea beast out."
"The second idea is to let the sea beast enter Miracle City and then we will surround it."
These two ideas were both feasible. If the sea beast's target was Miracle City, then they could just let it enter and surround it. Or they could just kill the sea beasts near the sea and see if they could lure the sea beast out.
Thinking about it, the sea beasts near the sea were its underlings. Of course, this method would not work.
Because no one knew if the demon beasts would be so affectionate. Unless you killed all the demon beasts in this sea area, otherwise, they might not appear.
With the current cultivators, it was a little impossible to kill all the sea beasts in the sea, unless Mo Tiankong took action.
Mo Tiankong had the Huaxia Battleship, so it was possible for the four secondary cannons to continuously bombard the sea beasts. Of course, it would consume a lot of Spirit Stones. There was also the Auspicious to take action.
After all, it was an Emperor Realm sea beast. It would not be a problem to kill a Venerable Realm sea beast in the sea. Of course, there was also danger. There were not only Emperor Realm sea beasts in the sea.
Sea beasts at the Sea Emperor Realm should be the strongest. Mo Tiankong suspected that the strongest sea beast in the coastal area was that Venerable Realm sea beast.
However, there should not be any strong sea beasts in the sea. Just like the human countries, the four regions of the Eastern Xuan Domain were actually poor in resources. Otherwise, why would the experts prefer to stay in the Central Xuan Domain?
Most of the Martial Emperors were in the Central Xuan Domain. The Eastern Xuan Domain had not even seen a single Martial Emperor.
For the same reason, the resources in the coastal waters should be limited. Powerful sea beasts shouldn't like to stay here.
"Store Manager Mo, I agree with the first method, but I'm afraid the second method is not possible. Most of the cultivators in Miracle City are still here. It's not good."
Hearing this, everyone began to discuss. Zhang Zhengfeng was the first to express his opinion. Even if the cultivators had all left, if Miracle City was destroyed, sigh …
"Miracle City cannot be used as a battlefield. I also agree with the first method," Wild Lion said.
If they allowed the sea beasts to enter the city, then their foundation would be completely destroyed. Miracle City was not badly damaged. Only a few sections of the city walls were broken.
The city walls made of Yellow Grade Ores could be destroyed by Martial General Realm sea beasts. Fortunately, there was not much damage, only a few sections. It would not cost much to repair them.
However, if the entire city was destroyed in order to kill a single Venerable Realm sea beast, the price would be too high. It was not worth it.
If that was really the case, they would rather station Venerable Realm sea beasts in the sea. At least they would be able to resist the sea beasts for a while. When the time came, the experts in the city would rush over and there would not be too much of a problem.
However, if that was the case, there would be no need to station troops. After all, there was a Venerable Realm sea beast near the sea. The mid and low-ranked soldiers would not have sacrificed themselves in vain.
"I agree with the first method," Old Man Lin said.
Although the killing power of just a hundred cultivators was limited, if a day was not enough, they would have to kill for a month. This time, the sea beasts had sacrificed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
The exact number had not been calculated, but there were already so many of them. At this moment, they needed to wantonly kill the sea beasts to vent their anger. It could also be considered as a form of consolation for the cultivators who had sacrificed themselves.
Moreover, would that Exalt Realm oceanic beast be able to endure it and not show itself once they'd killed almost all the oceanic beasts in this area of the ocean? Oceanic beasts had their own territories as well, so they could either hide in their shells and become subordinates of other oceanic beasts or come out to kill them.
Moreover, if it had the ability, then it would not come out. The lifespan of a cultivator was very long. Their strength was also constantly increasing. When the next sea beasts attack, Miracle City would have many Venerable Realm cultivators. At that time, they would be able to grind the sea beast to death.
"I agree with the first method."
