Zhangze Town...

The farmlands were scattered on both sides of the Huangpu River. The vegetable fields were being drowned after the water level rose.

The air was cool in the morning. A few old men were feeling self-pity, looking over their crops.

After the Headquarters Cities were established, there was not much land left for agriculture. The price of food and vegetables had increased significantly. The old men had been planning to earn more money so their family could live a better life in the Headquarters City.

Old Tang, why does the water keep rising? an old man who was carrying a loaded pole on his shoulders asked his neighbor.

We must hurry. If the vegetables are all destroyed, we will have nothing to feed ourselves! the old farmer said.

The two had their backs to the Huangpu River as they were harvesting as many vegetables as they could.

In less than a few minutes, the cold river had already reached their ankles.

The two old farmers turned around and noticed the river was flowing into their farms. They would have assumed they were beside a lake if they did not see the buildings on the higher ground.

Theres something in the water! one of the old men screamed. He dropped his pole in shock.

The other old man looked at the water and saw a black shadow moving around!

The black shadow was extremely large. The water of the river was being pushed into the farms due to its sheer size!

A huge wave rose from the river after they heard a huge blast. A beast with a black carapace charged into the farm.

The soil was dug up, forming a huge pit. The sheds in the farms were shredded into pieces.

The beast roared fiercely.

Zhangze Town instantly experienced a level twelve windstorm. Not only were the buildings blown into the air, even the concrete of the roads, cable poles, and factories were destroyed!

The whole town fell into panic.

The people assumed the sea monsters would only appear along the coasts. To their surprise, they had followed the Huangpu River inland. The Mages in the town would not stand a chance against thus!

Run to the shelter, quick!

Everyone, stay calm. We are students of the Pearl Institute. Well keep the monster busy. Just find your families and get to safety.

Do they still have time to look for their family? Just run if they can.

Yeah, the Mages who tried to stop the monster are all dead!

A few students were helping the villagers. Some had formed squads to eliminate the sea monsters that had infiltrated inland.

A group of students had tried to stop the huge creature from entering Zhangze Town, but they were all killed in less than a minute.

Most Mages had little understanding of the sea monsters. Even experienced Hunters were unable to evaluate the strength of a sea monster that had appeared out of nowhere, let alone these inexperienced students.

The difference in strength between the Black Carapace Sea Monster and the students was too huge!

Pools of blood spread across the ground. The students who were helping the villagers to escape were overwhelmed by despair.

The sea monsters were different from the demon creatures on land. Even the sea monsters who had snuck into their towns through the Huangpu River had the absolute advantage in strength!

The Huangpu River, Red Alert, a huge number of high-level sea monsters have appeared between the sea and Dianshan Lake. They are attacking the towns along the Huangpu River!

Mo Fan received an emergency message on his phone. He had just arrived in the Magic City. He was surprised to see the sender was the Pearl Institute.

I got it, too! The government and military are fighting the Sea Skeleton King. They dont have men to spare for the sea monsters in the Huangpu River. Dean Xiao is leading students and teachers to fend off the sea monsters, but they are suffering heavy casualties, Zhao Manyan confirmed.

We cant let our juniors lose their lives to the sea monsters. Come, lets kill them all! Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan, the South Winged Platoon is sending out an SOS signal. I must go to Dianshan Lake. The people in the surrounding areas and a huge shelter are in danger, Mu Bai sighed..

I thought the Headquarters Cities were safe with the dams in place. I didnt expect the sea monsters to invade our territory so quickly! Go, take the Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon with you, Mo Fan replied.

There had to be more than five thousand people hiding in the shelter. The SOS signal indicated the shelter might fall in just a few minutes.

The Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon was their only hope. Mu Bai prayed he would make it to the shelter in time as the dragon took off into the sky.

Mo Fan, isnt that Lecturer Wei Rong of the Fire School? The first teacher you fought with after you came to the main campus? Zhao Manyan was circling in the sky with his golden wings.

Mo Fan followed Zhao Manyans finger. A middle-aged man with a messy beard was charging at the river whose waves were rising.

A black shadow was moving in the water. The man Cast Sky-Flame Funeral and fired hundreds of fireballs at the creature in the water.

Let go, let go of them! Wei Rong yelled.

He collided with the creature together with his fireballs. He was doing everything to break the creatures hands.

The creatures hands were like a lizards. Luckily, they were soft. Otherwise, the students it had grabbed would have been broken into pieces the moment they were grabbed by the creature.

Four students were freed after the creatures hands were broken. They immediately ran to safety.

However, Wei Rong was now in danger. He had angered the creature.

The creature knocked Wei Rong into the air before leaping out of the water. It opened its mouth wide.

Cone-shaped fangs gaped out of its mouth. Wei Rong could see the thick blood on the fangs clearly as he was falling to the ground!

Did you ask the demon king of the Pearl Institute for permission before eating humans here!?

Mo Fan Blinked to the scene from seven hundred meters away, leaving bright sparkles behind him as he raced to the attack!
