In the middle of the night, the sea breeze gradually became bitingly cold. Over the reef island, the strong winds gathered the rain clouds. A lash of lightning broke through the dark night sky as big raindrops while the thunder rumbled.
What a huge rainstorm! Be careful not to get washed into the sea. We should leave the shore as far away as possible!
Next to the coast of the reef, Tutula, the shortest of the three wolf-headed warriors in charged of the night watch, saw that the waves in the sea were getting bigger, so he stood up and told his companions.
With their real bodies hidden in their ‘shells,’ the Bucktooth Wolf soldiers were not afraid of any adverse weather. However, it was still a delusion if they wanted to oppose the rage of the sea with this lowest-level god-bestowed shell.
Alright, let us go sit on that big reef next to the campsite!
Upon hearing Tutula’s words, Musa stood up from the slippery ground and took a few steps before suddenly shouting in the pouring rain,
This rain is too heavy! I’ll go take a look at that mainland scholar who is still shaving the reef. You two watch out! Don’t let those despicable fishermen use this opportunity of a storm to behead Harisa.
Why do you want to care about that mainland scholar? Isn’t it better for him to die at sea because of his own recklessness?
Another thunderbolt sliced through the sky. Under the thunder and lightning, a wolf-headed warrior put on a ferocious expression and told his companion,
Isn’t it enough for him to torment us these few days?!
Of course, it’s good that he dies but who will bear Sir Tumo’s anger then?
How can Sir Tumo care about a lowly mainlander?
It’s indeed true that he won’t care about the life and death of a mainland scholar, but he will care whether his orders have been strictly enforced or not. Don’t look down on a patronage’s chest!
The wise man retorted and strode to the other side of the reef island.
The reef covered with rain was very slippery, but the soft and sturdy feet of the wolf-headed warrior was unusually steady.
As he walked across the tiny reef island rapidly, Musa’s eyes that had turned into bright red saw through the rain curtain in the night and saw a medium-sized figure of a mainlander being in a daze in the storm.
He doesn’t even know how to hide from the rain? Isn’t this a sign of him turning stupid for becoming over obsessive with knowledge?
The wolf-headed warrior secretly sighed a relief as he groaned in his heart. Still, he shouted out loud,
Sir Scholar, the rain is too heavy! What are you researching now? Can you stop now and continue tomorrow after the rain stops? Sir Scholar! Sir Scholar…
When Musa saw that the figure did not respond at all, a bad feeling rose in his heart. When he was about to increase his speed, his feet suddenly slipped.
He staggered a few steps and looked down. The black reefs on the ground had started to crack in the rain and disappear without a trace under the rain, revealing a layer of cold ice-like flat leather.
The leather was smooth and delicate. It gradually gave off a faint luster. Musa could vaguely remember that texture; it was very similar, with the god-bestowed shell that he first came in contact with on the sacred temple.
Disaster! Disaster! The reef island is about to sink!
As a flash of memory flashed across his heart, the quake on the ground that was getting more intense snapped the wolf-headed warrior back to reality. Shouting at the top of his lungs, he turned and rushed towards the wooden boat.
At this moment, red, green, and white huge spots began to appear on the leather-like ground of the small island.
After running a few steps, Musa, who was desperate to escape, accidentally stepped on one of the muddy green spots. Like he had been thrown into aqua regia, his entire being disappeared in an instant, leaving behind the shouts of horror that ended abruptly.
They have never been through bloody hand-to-hand combat and solely rely on biochemical weapons to oppress the same kind. The will of these warriors from the powerful tribe in the Nutao Sea is just too weak. Looks like conquering them would be much simpler than I thought,
As though being disturbed by Musa’s shouts before his death, a happy complaint resonated in the darkness.
Then, tens of thousands of gentle light beams appeared in the gushing waves around the reef island. Together with countless of seawater and sand, they curved and covered the entire island, before penetrating into the leather-like ground.
Under the lightning and thunder, the living giant ancient war weapon finally revived its vitality in the stormy waves because of the extraordinary ability of creation from the Wizard Li’s god. When the dead skin that had weathered to become stones had worn off, it got rid of the shackles of the seabed reef and drifted in the wind and waves.
Zhang Lisheng had utterly exhausted the faith gemstones he stored and the last trace of divine power in his body. He could barely even stand up now as he lay on the resurrected reef island. After allowing the wind and rain to wash down on him for a while, he finally gathered enough energy to pick himself up to kneel on the ground before placing both his palms on the ground.
A gust of ripple spread out from the young man’s Prophet Old Man. The leather that was initially solid under him wonderfully melted into a thick liquid, before slowly engulfing him.
Penetrating into the skin with a thickness of ten meters and entering the body of the giant beast, Zhang Lisheng realized that he had fallen into a reddish ramp of twists and turns.
He took a deep breath and did not feel suffocated at all. Rubbing the elastic wall on both sides of the channel, he closed his eyes, and at once, a massive structure appeared in his mind.
The spider-like channels were the blood vessels of the island-like ancient biochemical weapon, which connected the essential organs of the giant beast.
The slow beating of the bright red color was like the heart supplying energy to the organs. Underneath the layer of skin, there were control organs of the long-range weapon launching system for laser, strong acid, frozen beam, and so on that looked like pearls that had magnified millions of times bigger. At the beginning of all blood vessels were a group of bloody white tofu-like substances that was actually the control center of the giant beast’s actions.
The functions of the various parts of the war weapons naturally appeared in the young man’s mind, as though this terrifying demonic monster without conscious was a creation he personally built.
This is really a sumptuous legacy…
After spending more than ten minutes to memorize the body structure of the giant beast with no mistake, Zhang Lisheng said with amazement,
It’s understandable to make strong acid spray with biological organs for, after all, the stomach acid of an animal is a strong corrosive agent, but it’s tough to imagine an organ that can emit a death ray…
As he was speaking, he walked quickly along the ramp to the giant beast’s center and leaped gently into the sizeable tofu-like stroma, taking over the control system of the ancient biochemical weapons.
A few seconds later, a faint light flashed through the night rain. The giant beast transformed by the reef island slowly descended into the surface of the sea and disappeared into the vast ocean.
A reef island that had the most significant function of becoming the temporary resting place for the fishermen of the slave tribes from the Rovan Island drown because of a natural disaster. The death news of an eccentric mainland scholar, several low-level warriors from the Nado tribe, and a group of indigenous fishermen did not attract much attention.
When an inexplicable misery appeared in Yaj’s heart for a moment, she led the caravan from the Sea Haines City to set sail as usual with no delay.
Tumo secretly cursed a few times for losing a team of Bucktooth Wolf army and quickly threw this little thing behind his mind.
Lumoluki inadvertently knew from the returning merchants that the scholar who obtained his token to set foot into the Nutao Sea by exchanging some information with him had died in a sea accident and could not help but reveal a smirk.
Nobody could imagine what seemingly ordinary accident meant until the fleet of the Wizard Li’s expeditionary army appeared in Nado’s harbor three months later in dawn…
An array of steel warships that seemed to be able to queue till the end of the day broke through the fog and appeared in front of the Nado’s warriors patrolling around in their ‘shells,’ immediately causing chaos,
W-What’s that? Iron ships? Iron ships that can float on the sea! Hundreds, no, thousands of iron ships…
Don’t care whether it’s wooden or iron ships! Those ships are aiming us using the mainland cannons…
The patrollers didn’t even appear at all! They must have all been killed! This is a war token! This is a declaration of war against Nado! Tell His Highness Lion King to gather the army…
In the steering cabin of the expeditionary flagship, the genius captain of the Wizard Li tribe, Bansaru, was watching the enemies in the harbor using a telescope as he spoke disdainfully,
Under the wisdom bestowed by the gods, even the legendary warriors from the Nutao Sea would be scared as pigs, waiting to be slaughtered.
After that, he ordered the dispatch warrior beside him,
With the power given by the great god, I order, all frontline battleships to start firing now.
Yes, Captain Bansaru! To all frontline battleships, start firing now.
The dispatch warrior repeated the order and strode out of the cabin.
Actually, the Nado warriors were not as weak as what the Wizard Li’s flagship captain said. In the face of the steel warships that they have never seen before, after their initial panic, they immediately laid out their battle formations under the command of their chief. A minority of the warriors that had a ‘shell’ with flying ability had already flapped their bat-like wings, charging towards the giant ship as they shouted at the top of their lungs with a ferocious look.
At this moment, tens of thousands of cannons on the deck of the Wizard Li fleet shot out a blazing fire. After a series of heart-rending shooting sounds, the entire Nado harbor turned into a sea of fire.
Die! All of you stinky fish that anger the god!
Watching the entire coast being covered with flames and smoke through the telescope, Bansaru clenched his fists with excitement.
This was his first time giving an order to directly destroy a foreign tribe using the ship’s artillery. If it was not for the fact that Zhang Lisheng had felt that the social structure of the dominant tribes in the Nutao Sea’s three islands had transformed entirely into something unlike the Hellfire tribes, with no value of conquest at all, perhaps the Wizard Li’s fleet captain would not have been able to enjoy this fun of massacre in his entire lifetime.
However, when the smoke slowly dissipated, it surprised Bansaru to find that the harbor did not turn into a ruin of flesh and blood as he imagined. Although the grounds exploded till large pits were formed, the foundation of the port had not collapsed yet. Instead, it was slowly healing at speed visible to the naked eye.
There was no death or casualties among the Nado warriors too. Even though everyone was injured, there were very few that the artillery killed. Most of the warriors still maintained their will to fight.
