The lightning orb created an explosion and triggered a rain of bones. The remains of the Viscera Hunters were knocked several dozen meters into the sky before pouring down in a spectacular manner!

Mo Fan grinned. These Viscera Hunters seriously thought he was unaware of their presence when they were moving under the water. His Dark Material might not be effective against them, but he could still treat it as his eyes and observe the movements of the creatures in the water!

Mo Fan took on the Viscera Hunters alone and killed over a hundred of them before he realized it. He was fending off the creatures at Wuyuan Bay by himself.

However, the Viscera Hunters’ numbers exceeded their expectations since the Wuyuan Bay was connected to the sea. More shadows had swum into Wuyuan Bay while Mo Fan was busy fighting the Viscera Hunters.

“Mo Fan, these creatures aren’t trying to invade the city. They are escorting some other creatures behind them!” Lingling had quickly scouted the area by riding the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.

Mo Fan had killed a lot of Viscera Hunters in Wuyuan Bay, but not only did he see more shadows swimming into the bay, he also noticed bigger shadows riding the waves in the distance. They were clearly not Viscera Hunters, yet they were surrounded by Viscera Hunters. They were being escorted to the bay, just as Lingling had mentioned!

“What are those?” Mo Fan asked with a confused face.

The strange thing was, when the bigger shadows showed up, the Viscera Hunters in Wuyuan Bay stopped attacking Mo Fan so stubbornly. They jumped back into the water like they had accomplished their mission.

The bigger shadows had entered Wuyuan Bay. There were more than a few of them, each followed by almost a hundred Viscera Hunters!

When the first shadow reached the inner part of Wuyuan Bay, the remaining Viscera Hunters that were fighting Mo Fan immediately gathered around it.

With a deafening splash, a huge mouth rose out of the water!

The creature did not fully reveal itself, leaving a huge chunk of its body in the water. It was about the size of a warship, but for some reason, it only revealed a mouth that resembled a giant bell above the water. Therefore, the people on the shore felt like they were staring at a huge bell floating on the water, with its opening facing the sky.

The creature uttered a thunderous roar. Everyone’s head started buzzing from the loud noise.

Mo Fan glanced at the creature with a rather unique appearance. He was not sure what he was supposed to do to it.

Were the sea monsters so intelligent that they even knew how to stand in formations and used the strange bell creature to relay orders around?

“What the hell are those? Don’t tell me the Viscera Hunters were escorting these huge creatures here to perform a symphony in front of us?” Mo Fan could not help but ask. The sight before him was just too bizarre.

The Viscera Hunters stopped attacking him. They were backing away into the water, giving Mo Fan a chance to catch his breath. Mo Fan was very curious about what the Viscera Hunters were up to.

“I think these are most likely some Magical Sea beasts!” Lingling said with a frown.

“What’s a Magical Sea Beast? Why are the Viscera Hunters escorting them like they are their beloved daughters?” Mo Fan said.

“I’m not sure either, but I heard some Magical Sea Beasts are capable of controlling the sea,” Lingling said.

“I thought most sea monsters had the ability to control the sea?” Mo Fan had to ask.

Shen Qing seemed to know something. She stared at the strange beasts and said with a blank face, “Controlling water and controlling the sea are two different things. Most sea monsters have the ability to control water, but only the creatures capable of controlling the sea can manipulate the rules of the sea!”

“What rules does the sea have?” Mo Fan was utterly clueless about the sea.

“The most common rule is the tide, which is usually called the rise and fall of the waves.

“When the tide rises, the beach will be submerged. In some seasons, the tide might even reach a greater height. The rise and fall are mostly affected by the day and night and the changing of seasons, but there are certain unique creatures in the sea that are like the mystical creatures from the legends. Every time they show up, they greatly influence the tide. Many people in Minnan still worship these sea creatures in return for calm weather along the coastline,” Shen Qing told them.

“So what are those Viscera Hunters up to? Did they escort those mystical beasts here so we can worship them too?” Mo Fan was still confused.

Mo Fan understood the part where certain mystical creatures in the sea were able to control the tide. There existed many special creatures in the world with incomparable capabilities, yet Mo Fan was struggling to understand what the sea monsters were trying to achieve through them.

“What do you think the most important factor that determines whether the sea monsters can invade the city or not is?” Lingling asked seriously.

Mo Fan fell silent and pondered, then suddenly realized something!

He glanced at Shen Qing, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper. It meant she had also linked the beasts to a horrifying possibility!

The Viscera Hunters were willing to serve and escorted the mystical beasts with the power to control the tide to Wuyuan Bay because they were planning to manipulate the tide and make it rise!

“The city is already submerged. Can the tide rise further?” Mo Fan asked in disbelief.

“What do you think!?” Lingling snapped.

Of course it was still possible for the tide to rise!

These unique creatures had the ability to make the tide rise rapidly. Xiamen was already in a devastated state due to the endless rain and the tropical storm. If these unique creatures make the sea level rise further, the whole city, including the higher terrain and hills would be submerged too!

By then, the sea monsters would no longer have to look for an entry point, since they could just invade the city from any direction!

Thousands of sea monsters had gathered due to the storm. If they had the perfect environment to invade the island, the city would no longer be able to defend itself, regardless of the number of Mages it had!
