New posts were swarming the Internet. If the bullet chat was turned on, every comment would be a shocking headline.

However, the posts were soon replaced by new updates, like some brief and quick emergency announcements.

The sea monsters had launched a full invasion on the shorelines, each one covering a distance of twenty kilometers, including the deserted shores, cliffs, peninsulas, and the famous coastal cities!

Blue Alerts.

Red Alerts.

Purple Alerts.

Certain areas could not even sound the alarm in time. Maybe they were under Black Alert, as no one had seen the disasters coming, nor had anyone survived them.

The world had changed all of a sudden, just like how the rise of sea level had devoured the land. People knew the sea monsters would come one day, but no one had expected it to happen today.

The invasion was also more terrifying than anyone had imagined.

The number of the sea monsters was as overwhelming as the stars in the sky. High-level sea monsters could be seen everywhere, and gigantic monsters were everywhere too!

Qinhuangdao Island...

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhao Manyan had just regrouped after their close call.

However, they did not have time to celebrate their close escape. Disastrous reports were swarming the Internet, together with terrifying pictures of the ghastly sea monsters. People were uploading live recordings of the invasion. Most of the information was presented with texts, but just reading the words alone was sending chills down their spines. They did not dare to imagine how terrible the situation was!

I thought we could save the people, just like the heroes in the movies! Zhang Xiaohous eyes were red.

They had done everything they could and risked their lives to stop the sea monsters conspiracy in the Bohai Sea, but it did not really make any difference.

They were helpless and afraid.

Theres no need to blame yourself. Our efforts arent in vain. At least the Bohai Sea isnt under a huge threat. There arent many sea monsters from the deep sea in this area, Hua Yuezhu said.

Everyone fell silent. They were worn out. They tried to convince themselves to get some sleep as they had to be well-rested to be of any use.

However, not many people could really fall asleep in this situation, including Mo Fan and his friends.

Mo Fan, what should we do next? Where should we go after we wake up? Mu Bai asked. He was finding it hard to make a decision.

I have a great suggestion. Why dont we head west? I heard Li Man had built a large city with the Earth Pistil in the west. It should be able to hold a lot of refugees. We should probably go there, Zhao Manyan recommended.

Good idea, Dingcheng is a great option too, Mo Fan nodded.

Brother Fan, Brother Zhao, are we really going to give up on the coasts? Zhang Xiaohou said.

What else can we do? We should consider ourselves lucky that the government was suspicious of the Forbidden Mage. Otherwise, we would have long perished to the Forbidden Curse. Look at the Sea Emperor Skeleton that is attacking the Magic City. I bet even the Black Totem Snake will have a hard time against it. Look at the coasts of Ningbo, they are crawling with sea monsters, and the Raging Sea Island Beast in Quanzhou... Do we stand a chance against any of them? Zhao Manyan had to say.

When the sea levels first rose, countless people were unwilling to leave their homes. They insisted on staying in the east that was so rich in resources.

Now, everyone was hoping to flee west to the inland.

The sea monsters were unstoppable. Those who stayed on the eastern coasts were going to die for certain!

A huge city would be overrun by sea monsters soon, let alone ordinary families and people.

Trying to stop the invasion with Mages?

The number of the sea monsters was several times that of the Mages, not to mention human Mages lacked the strength of the sea monsters. It was going to be a terrible war. They would have to pay huge prices just to defend their land!

Brother Fan, are we really going to the west? Zhang Xiaohou had no idea what to say, but he was unwilling to give up so easily.

Heading west is our last resort. Well go if we really cant stop the invasion, Mo Fan stated.

Heading west was an option, but Mages like them would not be the first to leave. They had to make the sea monsters pay some price for taking their territory!

Zhang Xiaohou smiled after hearing Mo Fans response. Running away now did not suit their personalities! Where are we going first? he asked.

The headquarters cities are the only places that are still holding on. The Beast Capital, Feiniao Headquarters City, the Magic City, and the capital are our only bets... Mu Bai said.

Mo Fan was struggling to make up his mind.

After some hesitation, Mo Fan decided to give someone a call.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. He was not sure whether the person was going to pick up his call, considering the situation of the coasts.

Hello, are you Mo Fan? the other end asked as soon as the call was picked up.

Yes...

Councilman Shao Zheng is currently at the South China Sea. Hes fighting the sea monsters, so Im afraid he wont be free to take your call. Im sure you are aware of the situation now, the man said.

I am, I dont have any important matters to attend to at the moment. Im feeling a little lost, Mo Fan said.

Arent you at Qinghuangdao? Have you met Chief Hua? the secretary said.

I did, Mo Fan said.

You can ask him for some advice. After all, he was the one that constantly had his eyes on you. You should ask him about matters regarding the Totem Beasts, the secretary told him.

Mo Fan was confused. What did he mean by constantly having his eyes on him?

He was never close with the man. He had only met him once at Lingyin by coincidence!

Mo Fan went to the hut. Its door was still open.

Chief Hua was sitting on the ground facing the howling sea. It wasnt clear if he was resting after using a Forbidden Curse or if he was in deep thought.

He did not have any guards, but it was not like he needed one.

Are you feeling lost? Chief Hua pointed at a futon nearby, signaling Mo Fan to take a seat.

A little. I suddenly feel helpless, Mo Fan said.

Mankind has gone through disasters like this before, throughout the long history of fighting demon creatures, but we have survived until now. There are times of peace and times of darkness. Everything will be fine once we get over it, Chief Hua told me.

I just talked to the Councilmans secretary on the phone. He asked me to see you. I dont understand what he meant, Mo Fan had to say.

Ive been watching you ever since the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. I was the one that arranged for you to join the national team. I also arranged for you to meet Shao Zheng and look for the Totem Beasts. After you killed Lu Yilin and provoked the Lu Clan, it was I who called the Lu Clans old man, Chief Hua informed him.

Mo Fan opened his mouth in surprise.

Someone did mention that a big shot was looking after him. He had always thought it was Shao Zheng.

To his surprise, it was the man in front of him!
