Chapter 764: Emperor-Class Sea Beast Skill! Great Tsunami! Despair! Abandoned City!

~7 min read 1,308 words

A naturally formed tsunami and a tsunami created by a super skill are two completely different concepts.

Liu Mengyun was unaware of the destructive power of an ordinary tsunami, making it hard for her to judge accurately.

But Feng Yuanjie and the others had been stationed at Mount Dajiao for many years; compared to Liu Mengyun, an inland person, they understood the sea far better and knew tsunamis far more clearly!

Feng Yuanjie's face darkened as he said, "A tsunami couldn't have scared a King-class sea beast like this. An ordinary tsunami can't kill a King-class fierce beast—at most it would wound a King-class sea beast!"

Tong Junhao said in a low voice, "It must be a skill!"

The other Reef City's high-ranking officials also said, "A skill capable of scaring a King-class sea beast like this—it might be an Emperor-class sea beast from the deep sea!"

Liu Mengyun's gaze swept past those surging sea beasts, passed over that King-class deep-sea giant dragon octopus, and lingered on the tsunami drawing ever closer.

She murmured, "An Emperor-class sea beast's skill? Even if it isn't aimed at us, Mount Dajiao probably won't be able to withstand it!"

Everyone fell silent.

What Liu Mengyun said was the truth.

If the tsunami was a natural one formed by an earthquake,

Mount Dajiao would suffer damage, but Mount Dajiao would be enough to withstand the great tsunami!

Otherwise, the Southeast Military Department wouldn't have built Mount Dajiao on this mountain in the first place!

No matter how fierce an ordinary tsunami is, it still can't flatten Mount Dajiao!

But if the tsunami is a terrifying skill, then the tsunami must contain tremendous energy within it.

Mount Dajiao would absolutely be flattened with the greatest of ease!

The air-raid shelters built into the mountain at Mount Dajiao would be largely meaningless in the face of such destructive power!

"Bang bang bang!"

Inside Mount Dajiao, the energy crystal cannons opened fire!

Firelight flared from every bunker within Mount Dajiao.

The energy crystal cannons bombarded the sea beasts charging toward Mount Dajiao, and countless low-level sea beasts were blown to pieces.

On the city walls, the City Guard beast tamers likewise began attacking the fierce beasts charging over!

But those sea beasts, as if gone mad, kept charging toward Mount Dajiao.

At this moment, Baicang and Xi Yao of the Treasure Pavilion also appeared before Liu Mengyun.

"Deputy Officer Liu, do you need help?" Xi Yao said. "The people of our Treasure Pavilion can also do their part!"

Baicang also gazed at the tsunami bearing down in the distance and said, "That's right! This tsunami feels like it's going to be as tall as Mount Dajiao!"

"No need for now, I can handle the sea beasts," Liu Mengyun said, waving a hand. "City Lord Feng, brief Baicang and the others on the situation!"

Liu Mengyun flew toward Dongcheng Sect, landed at Chengmenkou, stared at the onrushing swarm of sea beasts and the King-class deep-sea giant dragon octopus behind them, crouched down, and pressed both hands to the ground.

"Ice Mirror!"

Violent ice ability erupted in an instant.

White ice crystals began spreading from Liu Mengyun's hands, rapidly diffusing along the ground. In just two breaths, the ground within seven hundred meters outside Mount Dajiao was completely frozen by ice.

The ice in that area was unusually smooth, with a slight outward slope.

Sea beasts standing on the ice—even their shadows were reflected with perfect clarity.

Apart from a few fierce beasts like the Iron-Spined Sea Crocodile and the Four-Legged Goldline Fish that had feet, nearly all other sea beasts moved by crawling.

Their bodies, more or less, were covered in water stains or slime.

The moment these sea beasts touched the ice crystals, they slid along the slope, gliding away from Mount Dajiao!

Even the Iron-Spined Black Sea Crocodile and the Four-Legged Goldline Fish couldn't escape it.

Many sea beasts frantically fleeing for their lives unwillingly tried stepping onto the ice again, and some sea beasts even tried leaping directly, but once they realized they couldn't move on the ice surface, they chose to take a detour!

Liu Mengyun was simply taking a clever shortcut, but it was extremely effective!

She was just taking advantage of the sea beasts' low levels, taking advantage of the fact that sea beasts weren't skilled at jumping or moving on land.

After doing all this, Liu Mengyun leapt up onto the wall of the lower city district.

"That's it? It's been held?"

Feng Yuanjie said in surprise.

Behind Feng Yuanjie, even Baicang, Xi Yao, and the other Star Glory beast tamers all wore looks of astonishment.

They hadn't expected that Liu Mengyun had simply driven the sea beasts away with a single skill.

"Now isn't the time to go all out—we need to conserve energy as much as possible!" Liu Mengyun said indifferently. "Besides, they're just trying to escape for their lives; we're not their target. The path is hard to walk, so of course they choose to detour!"

The ground trembled again.

The deep-sea giant dragon octopus soon also stepped onto the ice.

The moment its slimy body touched the smooth ice surface, it sensed something was wrong.

It furiously lashed the ice with a tentacle, but the ice surface didn't crack at all.

It glared at Liu Mengyun with its two terrifying large eyes, but Liu Mengyun paid it no attention at all.

Because the tsunami was about to come ashore!

Apart from the long coastline outside Dongcheng Sect, the coastline elsewhere was all cliffs!

For safety's sake, Mount Dajiao had not been built by the sea.

It was roughly two or three kilometers from the coastline.

Therefore, the great tsunami would first have to collide with those cliffs!

Liu Mengyun shouted, "Tong Junhao, pass on my order: all beast tamers with mountable companion beasts, fly into the sky—the higher the better. Take as many people as you can, just in case!"

"Yes!"

Tong Junhao hurried off running.

"He Yao, notify the other beast tamers inside Mount Dajiao—those who can fly, fly as high as possible to avoid this tsunami!"

"Yes!"

He Yao ran desperately toward the Mayoral Residence, where the broadcast station was.

The order Liu Mengyun had given him was exactly what he most wanted to do.

His He family, the entire clan, lived in Mount Dajiao City.

If Mount Dajiao City falls, so will the He family!

He had to warn his own family!

"Xi Yao, you all too—stay safe!"

The great tsunami finally slammed into the cliff.

The cliff, made of hard rock, shattered instantly under the tsunami's impact!

A normal tsunami could never possess such power.

At this moment, Liu Mengyun and the others could clearly sense the vast water-element energy contained within the tsunami!

There was no doubt!

This was at least a large-scale skill from a Royal-tier sea beast!

This also explained why the tsunami had erupted so swiftly.

Why the waves were so towering!

The last shred of hope among Mount Dajiao City's defenders was gone!

From sea to Mount Dajiao City, a flat stretch of two to three kilometers offered no obstruction—it would strike Mount Dajiao Mountain directly!

Behind Liu Mengyun, all the Beast Tamer's faces turned deathly pale!

Countless City Guard Beast Tamers began to rise into the air.

Some Gold-rank Beast Tamers even rushed recklessly toward their homes.

Amid the alarm, He Yao's shout rang out: "Notice: All Beast Tamers within Mount Dajiao City, ascend into the air for safety—fly as high as possible… Notice…"

The Beast Tamers in Mount Dajiao City who had been hesitating finally showed expressions of shock.

The Mount Dajiao City military was ordering Beast Tamers to ascend into the air for safety… this carried far too many ominous implications.

It meant the tsunami might strike Mount Dajiao City—might destroy Mount Dajiao City!
