The number of people rushing up to the deck from below was not small, already close to a hundred, most of them being Southeast Asian practitioners. Each one had tattooed faces, ear and nose piercings, and various Buddhist amulets and magic artifacts clinking at their waists.
A small part of them were Miti's superheroes, mostly with high noses and deep-set eyes of Western faces, led by two old acquaintances of Yan Yu—Phoenix and Thunderbird. They also stood tightly grouped together, clearly on guard against the surrounding Southeast Asian practitioners.
After everyone boarded the deck, most of their attention focused on the Flood Dragon, with only a few glancing around, searching for any traces of the Rikoku Cultivators.
None found.
But they didn't have time to deploy search spells because an eerie and loud chewing noise once again came from within the corpse of the Flood Dragon.
The crowd immediately became alert.
