Chapter 388 - Sea beasts invade
Sima You Yue and the others also realised the abnormality in the sea and nodded, saying, “There really is something wrong with these sea beasts. Their eyes look dazed.”
“Could it be that they have been controlled, like the ones back at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?” Fatty Qu guessed.
“There’s a possibility.” Wei Zi Qi nodded.
“Could it be that it’s the creature that You Yue talked about the last time at Forgotten Worry Island?” Ouyang Fei’s eyebrows furrowed.
“It would be troublesome if that truly were the case.” Bei Gong Tang said.
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue sighed. If it really was due to that, then this issue would truly be troublesome.
Halcyon had already said back then, that although that creature was not comparable to the one at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, even he would have been able to fend it off if it were not being suppressed.
She was still filled with fear when she recalled the time where that black fog had swallowed up all the living things on the island back then.
Sima You Yue thought about the experience this time as well, and was as worried as she was back then.
This time, a group of people flew above them and saw them at the shore. They stopped, and one of them came over. The other group of people continued to fly towards Leaf City.
“Brother You Lin.” Sang Qiong Li landed on the ground and nodded at Sima You Lin. Then, she looked at Sima You Yue and said, “I have been looking for you for a long time. After that, I heard that you left the Yi Lin continent.”
Sima You Yue was taken aback. Looking for her?
“You’ve gotten strong.” Sang Qiong Li could feel Sima You Yue’s aura, saying, “You’ve gotten a lot stronger than before. Have you already entered the Paragon rank?”
Sima You Yue nodded.
She even thought about how this guy had wanted to use her to compare but she had turned down his challenge. It looks like he must have searched for her in order to compete with her again.
Sang Qiong Li saw that Sima You Yue had admitted it and was secretly shocked. However, he did not show it.
“Brother Qiong Li has always been at the ocean?” Sima You Lin asked.
“Yeah, ever since the sea beasts started making a mess.” Sang Qiong Li said.
“Then what did you find out?” Sima You Yue asked.
Sang Qiong Li looked at the sea beasts in the waters and said, “They seem to be controlled by something. We have also tried finding out why they have been controlled. However, the men that we sent out at the beginning could not even find out a single thing, and none returned. This time, their corpses have directly been thrown in front of us. Their deaths were too cruel.”
Sang Qiong Li’s voice trembled a little. It looked like this provocation affected him quite a bit.
“Then how strong are those sea beasts? Are they perversely strong?” Sima You Yue asked.
She remembered , back when she heard Jade talk about the attacks of the beasts back on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, they were supposed to be one level stronger than the usual. The spirit beasts’ powers could be considered to have been amplified by the suppressed beast.
“I heard from those who had battled those sea beasts, that there was not much different.” Sang Qiong Li understood Sima You Yue’s intentions and answered.
“That’s one good thing.” Sima You Yue commented.
“Right now, the most important thing is to figure out why those spirit beasts are being controlled.” Sima You Lin said, “I hope it isn’t that.”
“That? Could it be that Brother You Lin knows something?” Sang Qiong Li asked.
Sima You Lin glanced at Sima You Yue and saw that she did not object, so he recounted what happened back at Forgotten Worry Island.
In any case, the Sima Clan could bring it up at the meeting this time, so he was merely giving them a heads up.
“However, I heard my grandfather say before that they had tried sending people to Forgotten Worry Island, but none managed to return.” He recounted.
“Every single one of them who entered the waters failed to come back alive.” Sang Qiong Li said. Then, he turned to Sima You Yue and said, “However, you have a sacred beast. Maybe it’s possible.”
Initially, everyone had placed all their hopes on Sima You Yue. However, once they knew that she had already left the continent for over a year, and even found out she had entered the Divine Devil Valley upon entering. However, they didn’t say that she had become the young valley master. Furthermore, her leaving the great continent was to help the Divine Devil Valley.
Now that everyone knew she had come back, they would definitely think of getting her to check this situation out again.
Just as the few of them were chatting, the entire ocean descended into chaos. Those low ranked sea beasts that had gathered together before, immediately scattered. After that, a group of Divine Beasts came in from afar. Just as they were about to reach the shore, they suddenly rose high in the air.
“No good! They’re orcas!” Sang Qiong Li cried out when she saw the group of orcas.
At this moment, a long alarm was heard from Leaf City. After the alarm rang, people appeared on the city wall one after another.
Seeing those sea beasts ready to attack, the expressions of those on the city wall changed.
These orcas were extremely savage. Their tails were extremely strong, and their shark teeth would strike fear into the hearts of people.
“How could there be orcas? Don’t the sea beasts rarely appear?” Someone cried out.
“And there are so many of them! We don’t have enough people, we have to send those in the inner cities!”
“We won’t make it! There are too many orcas this time. We won’t be able to hold them back for long!”
“Then what do we do Could it be that we really have to escape before calamity strikes?”
“No way! There will definitely be a way!”
“What way is there? So many divine beasts are about to invade, and many of them are even above fifth rank. They’re divine beasts with the power of spirit paragons, okay. But look how many spirit paragons we have?”
When faced with a few hundreds of divine beasts, these people flustered.
“Why are those youths still standing there?” Someone noticed Sima You Yue and the others.
Everyone else looked over, and saw that quite a few people were standing out there. They looked straight at the encroaching orcaa and were so still that it looked as if they had been shocked silly.
“It’s them!” Someone recognised Sima You Yue and the others and suddenly beamed with joy, exclaiming, “Ha ha! There’s hope for us! There’s hope!”
“Are you crazy? How many of them are there? What are you so excited about?”
Those who recognised Sima You Yue pointed her out. It was as if they saw the manifestation of their hope, saying, “It’s Sima clan’s Sima You Yue! It’s him!”
“The ‘You’ generation? It’s the smallest generation in the Sima Clan right? You couldn’t be pinning our hopes on a child, right?” The one who spoke looked at them as if they were idiots.
“You’re the idiot! That’s Sima You Yue, okay! He has a sacred beast by his side! With a sacred beast, how could anything bad happen to us!” That person exclaimed.
“I remember. The Sima clan truly has a youth with a sacred beast. Furthermore, I heard them say that he had already left this continent earlier. Who knew that he would actually return! We’re truly saved this time!”
“That’s fantastic!”
The men on the wall were incomparably excited. They no longer had fear in their eyes when they looked at those orcas.
Sima You Yue stood on the cliff, and stared at the orcas that were flying over. It was as if she was studying the something very carefully.
It was just as Sima Tai and the others had said. There were faint black lines running on the bodies of the orcas. It was as if they had been dragged along the seabed. However, this wouldn’t necessarily be the thing that was controlling them.
After that, her gaze landed on a black cloud calmly floating in the sky. For some reason, she felt that there was something strange about this black cloud.
