Chapter 127: That Towering Wave That Shot Up to the Sky (April 1750 Monthly Ticket Bonus)

The Special Affairs Group's car looked ordinary, but its performance was excellent, and the staff's driving skills were also quite good.

Driving at 120 yards in the city was quite exciting.

Qin Chuan gazed out the window at the scenery flying backward, lost in thought.

He gave himself the callsign 'Bajie' simply because, in legend, Zhu Bajie is the great general who commands the heavenly navy, matching his ability.

As for why he doesn't wear a Zhu Bajie mask…

Because it's ugly.

After about twenty minutes, the two left the city, drawing ever closer to East Lake.

The staff member stopped being silent and began to brief Qin Chuan on the situation.

"One third-rank demon beast has already been killed by Boss Ji on the north shore, another was seriously wounded and fled into the water; we are currently searching for it."

"East Lake is currently short-handed mainly in the south shore area, and that's where I'm taking you." The staff member explained, "Besides not letting that third-rank demon beast escape, we also need to wipe out as many first- and second-rank demon beasts in East Lake as possible."

"Understood." Qin Chuan nodded, understanding his mission.

"That Bajie… sir, we've arrived." The staff member, not yet used to Qin Chuan's callsign, stopped the car.

Qin Chuan got out of the car, and a faint fishy smell mixed with blood assailed his nostrils; looking into the distance he could see the surging waves of East Lake, and at this moment the lakeshore was crowded with people, shouts of killing and various strange howls blending together.

"Let's go." Qin Chuan nodded at the staff member serving as driver, then strode toward the lakeside battlefield.

After explaining Qin Chuan's identity to the nearby defenders, the staff member took off his coat, revealing his combat uniform underneath, and likewise rushed toward the lakeside.

He was not only the driver but also a warrior heading to the battlefield.

The arrival of this oddly dressed fellow, Qin Chuan, caused the Special Affairs Group combatants engaged in fierce battle to startle as well.

But being able to pass the outer defenders' checkpoint meant he was a trustworthy comrade; at this moment demon beasts surged from the lake like a tide, and they dared not be careless, only having time to point out a relatively weak spot in the defenses before having to continue dealing with the demon beasts.

Qin Chuan took a few steps to the position indicated by the combatants, saw a demon beast with only its eyes bloodshot lunging ashore, and couldn't help but draw a deep breath.

Just a glance at the demon beast horde revealed five or six advanced demon beasts to him.

Without further hesitation, Qin Chuan reached out and grabbed.

"Boom!!!"

A huge hand of water extended from the lake surface ten meters away, swept violently toward this side, instantly clearing the demon beast before Qin Chuan, then turned palm-up and slowly descended before him; that hand alone amounted to a volume of a hundred cubic units.

He poured bottle after bottle of diamond powder from his waist onto the palm of the water hand beneath his feet; beneath the Handsome Monkey King mask, his expression turned somewhat cold and stern.

"Kill!"

Countless water serpents entwined with sparkling points of light protruded their heads from the water hand and instantly lunged at nearby demon beasts.

The instant a water serpent coiled around a target, the dilute diamond powder entwined with the high-speed vortex of water transformed into the hardest, sharpest blade, ripping open the demon beasts' bellies amid their screams.

In an instant, the vast lakeside battlefield was cleared of nearly one-tenth of its forces, tearing a gap in the surging tide of demon beasts rushing ashore.

The combatants stared, turning their heads to see the silent figure standing among the demon beast carcasses, unaware who had let out a loud shout.

"Handsome Monkey King, awesome!"

Hearing the shout, Qin Chuan felt a moment of embarrassment, but he quickly refocused his attention on the demon horde before him.

The area that had just been cleared soon saw countless demon beasts crawling out of the lake again.

Many of the aquatic demon beasts bore grotesquely twisted forms; seeing them appear as a beast tide was enough to make one's flesh creep.

One after another, water serpents continued to rend the demon beasts' bodies, spraying countless foul-smelling blood and tissue onto the ground; the viscous plasma gradually crept over Qin Chuan's shoes as time passed. A new wave of demon beasts erupted, its assault even more fierce than before.

Gazing at the countless demon beasts surging from the lake, Qin Chuan's attention was suddenly drawn to one that had just emerged; it seemed to be guarded from afar by several second-rank demon beasts, and its body was missing about half, the wound neat as if sliced by a blade.

Recalling the staff member's earlier briefing, Qin Chuan formed a vague suspicion.

Could this be the other third-rank demon beast that escaped…?

Then he wouldn't hold back.

The third-rank demon beast that had just lifted its head from the lake saw that the south shore was noticeably short-handed compared to other areas, and it was presently feeling delighted.

It had originally planned to flee from the nearer east or west banks, but after scouting it found that the humans' weakest defensive point was the south shore.

Now, upon looking, it truly seemed heaven was aiding it…

A roar like heaven collapsing, accompanied by the terrified shrieks of its subordinate demon beasts, shattered its reverie; the surrounding waters were seized by some invisible force and instantly turned into a sky-reaching waterfall, sucking its exposed body upward.

Repeated strangling forces erupted instantly; the third-rank demon beast felt only a sharp pain before losing all consciousness.

When the hurling wave flung the now completely deformed third-rank demon beast onto the shore, the demon beast horde abruptly fell into an eerie silence.

The scarlet in countless demon beasts' eyes faded somewhat due to the death of the third-rank demon beast.

"Mr. Bajie is too strong!!!"

The staff member who had brought Qin Chuan over was the first to react, rushing toward him in quick steps, his face overflowing with excitement.

Seeing the person chatting and laughing with Qin Chuan, the extraordinary beings who had been about to shout together "Handsome Monkey King, awesome!" found their voices caught in their throats.

"What? This getup is called Bajie?!" — On the surging surface of East Lake, five figures sped past.

The man leading the way exuded a chilling coldness all around; with each step, the lake water beneath his feet instantly froze, forming a floating ice passage wherever he went, as if walking on flat ground.

Behind him, four figures followed closely.

The five-person team, led by Ji Huai, after scouting the east and west banks, finally determined that the heavily wounded, escaped third-rank demon beast might appear in the south shore area.

Obviously, the demon beasts in the water possess some unknown means of informing that third-rank demon beast that the south shore's defenses are the weakest.

"Hurry up, we can still catch it." Ji Huai said in a calm tone with a hint of sternness, "I'll cut it down with one stroke."

The other four had long grown accustomed to Ji Huai's domineering aura.

"Brother Ji, I'm already as fast as I can be," the man clearing the route said helplessly, shaking his head, "If I go any faster, the floating ice won't be strong enough to support you all."

"I've said before, why not just control a slab of floating ice like a boat to bring us over?" another strong one muttered, "Why won't you listen?"

"I can control ice, not water!" the ice-ability extraordinary being exclaimed, veins bulging on his forehead, "If any of you had water abilities, we wouldn't have to run on foot."

Nobody spoke.

Ji Huai remained silent the whole time, yet a figure capable of controlling water involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Just now he called himself; he must have received an invitation to the special affairs cooperation mission.

However, Ji Huai could not be sure whether he would choose to participate in it.

「Boom!!! 」

At this very moment, a low rumbling sound came from the direction of the south bank.

The five all raised their heads at once, and immediately afterwards they saw a huge wave nearly a hundred meters high sweeping everything away; after shooting up into the sky, it slammed down onto the shore with apocalyptic force.
