Capítulo 34: Giant Whale
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Underwater volcano?" Shi Yang couldn't help but become more serious when he heard that. The fresh crab bought from Wang Yu was placed at his feet.
"Wasn't this all surveyed before the town was built? If there were underwater volcanoes with danger level above three, why would an island town be allowed to build here!"
Shi Yang looked at Lu Pan and questioned him.
This made Corporal Lu Feng, who was behind Lu Pan, frown and look displeased.
"Young Master Shi, before the town was built, the capital had already sent people to investigate. There were no signs of volcanic activity thousands of kilometers around the island.
The current situation of heat release might be caused by other factors. We still have to investigate the specifics."
Lu Pan waved his hand to interrupt Lu Feng. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Actually, we can't rule out the possibility of an underwater volcano reviving."
He looked at Shi Yang and said seriously.
"The Silver Belt Sea here is rather special. There are a large number of precious sea beasts, but it's also a poisonous sea at random times. There are a large number of unknown bacteria groups at the bottom of the sea. At that time, it caused a great obstruction to our reconnaissance work.
There were indeed many deep sea areas that had not been completely explored. However, after a long period of observation, it had been confirmed that the safety it was safe enough to build an island town here.
Coupled with the special geographical environment here, you should know that this island is the important border area of our empire of Nance on the Broken Star No.5.
If we don't take it, Canaan and Simmersons may use it as their outpost. We would be disadvantaged!"
Shi Yang took a deep breath and was silent for a moment. He shook his head and chuckled. "Forget it. I'm just a small corporal. What am I worrying about here?
Let's talk about the mission. As long as this tide ends, my support mission will be over."
Lu Pan nodded and said with relief, "I didn't expect that I would send a genius from the Shi family to ask for help from the capital this time. A 25-year-old one-star corporal is indeed foolproof with your current strength."
"In previous years, such tides lasted indefinitely. Sometimes they ended in one or two days, and sometimes they lasted for eight to ten days. There was no pattern to speak of."
Shi Yang sighed when he heard that. "In that case, we might not be able to go back for a while."
Lu Pan nodded.
"Alright, call me if you need anything. You don't mind if I steam a crab first, right?" Shi Yang suddenly picked up the crab at his feet and licked his lips.
He had not eaten a good meal during the past two days.
Corporal Lu Feng widened his eyes slightly. He felt that this fellow from the capital was too frivolous and lazy. He was even a little arrogant. His words and actions did not seem to take the safety of the island town seriously.
The discipline emphasized by the army was entirely the opposite of how he was behaving. Lu Feng didn't like that.
Lu Pan, on the other hand, smiled calmly. "Of course. You're the last insurance on that one. You're only called when there's a crisis."
"That's great." Shi Yang was overjoyed and felt that it saved him a lot of trouble. He suddenly found the guardian of this island town much more pleasing to the eye.
Lu Pan even got someone to set up a temporary tent and prepare a large pot for Shi Yang to cook.
Shi Yang did not stand on ceremony. He happily said that Lu Pan was so welcoming and started to deal with the big crab in his hand.
"It's said that the Shi family's genius, Yang, is extremely talented in martial arts. In the capital, there are very few people of the same generation who can compare to him. In the future, his lowest achievements will be one of the pillars of the strong in the Nance Empire. I didn't expect him to be such a lively person."
After Lu Feng walked away, he could not help but snort at Lu Pan.
Lu Pan smiled and said, "He's only 25 years old now, but his cultivation has already far surpassed ours. It's fine for him to be young and full of vigor."
As long as he doesn't make a big mistake in the future, the Shi family will definitely raise him to an extremely high position. Be it on behalf of ourselves or for the Lu family, we can't easily offend such a young genius.
If he wants to earn merits, then we just have to cooperate with him. With him around, even if a few more ghost-faced four-legged fish come, we can rest assured."
Lu Feng listened in silence. After a moment, he nodded and said nothing more.
"In addition, the capital has already accepted my request. After this tide, they will send another reconnaissance team to assist us in a deep-sea exploration.
If there really is an underwater volcano awakening, we have to make plans early. It's impossible to risk the lives of 200,000 people in the island town!"
Lu-Feng nodded.
…
For a long time, everyone was still discussing what was going on with the suffocating heat wave that caused quite a commotion.
Many martial artists already wanted to retreat.
At this moment, a large number of creatures from the deep sea rushed out of the water and landed on the shore.
There were thousands of them, densely packed with thin-leaf fish. The water spiders moved forward and back as if they were fleeing for their lives.
The scene stunned everyone.
A low, lonely cry sounded, and the sea continued to swell.
BOOM!
The giant whale that they had seen before suddenly broke through the waves. Its huge mouth was like a bottomless pit that swallowed all the seawater and countless fleeing deep-sea creatures.
It was as tall as a 30-story building and blocked everyone's view.
The appearance of the beast was soul-stirring!
As the whale swallowed, it smashed back into the water. It was like countless bombs being detonated at the same time. The waves that splashed up were like a tsunami that instantly rushed up the coast.
Before many martial artists could react, they were sent flying.
Iron He, Zhang Yi, and the others were no exception. They were washed back by the seawater and became dizzy.
When they finally composed themselves, they heard Sun Chengshan's unusual roar.
"Run!"
Iron He widened his eyes and looked. A strange fish species twisted its body like a water snake and pounced at him. It was like a variant of the green-spotted snake. Its open mouth was enough to stuff half his body.
A fishy wind blew in his face!
Iron He's expression changed drastically. At the moment of life and death, his mind went blank. He instantly bounced up, turned around, and ran.
He knew very well that the snake was out of his league.
Previously, he had personally witnessed many martial artists become food for these sea snakes.
Among the disciples of the martial arts school, these sea snakes were simply dangerous existences. As long as they were bitten, they could forget about surviving.
His escaping speed was already considered a burst of potential, but the sea snake still caught up to him very quickly.
Fortunately, at this moment, a figure brushed past him and kicked the sea snake away.
"Junior Brother Wang!" Iron He was overjoyed.
It was Wang Yu, who was closest to him.
Wang Yu did not take the initiative to go forward again. Instead, he waited for Song Hezheng and Sun Chengshan to rush over before the three of them dealt with the sea snake together.
Looking at the swarm of water spiders and the other sea beasts, the three of them quickly retreated with the other disciples.
"M-Master, will that huge whale come up? " Zhang Erdan asked timidly.
"No. It would be stranded even if it came up. It wouldn't be so stupid."
As soon as Sun Chengshan finished speaking, the sea on the shore exploded again.
The giant whale really rushed onto the beach and crushed countless thin-leaf fish and water spiders.
Even a few ghost-faced four-legged fish that had come ashore were directly crushed, as if a huge cruise ship had lost control and crashed ashore.
The entire island seemed to shake.
