Chapter 87: On the Hunt (Part One)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A few hours ago, many Red Crystal Crabs made their mark on the river surface. The other exotic beasts had also given way because they were easily overpowered.

The exotic beasts were resting tiredly after a whole day of attacking the city.

“Let’s go!”

The members of the Wild Wave Company could no longer hold back and rushed into Lianjiang.

Gao Yong led a group of nine into Lianjiang, while his nephew and another person stayed on the shore.

The two of them were too weak to charge along with them. Entering the water would not be of any help. It was better for them to stay on the shore and keep watch.

Gao Yong and the others quickly dove into the water. Once they entered the water, their bodies moved like fish, swimming swiftly without the slightest obstruction.

Upon closer inspection, there were streams of water flowing around the nine of them.

With the help of this current, the nine of them could swim faster.

This was called the Raging Waves Palm!

Relying on this cultivation technique, the Wild Wave Company’s ability to move in the water was almost comparable to ordinary underwater mutated beasts. Moreover, this cultivation technique came with the underwater breathing technique, allowing them to hold their breath in the water for nearly an hour. It was very impressive.

Gao Yong quickly dived into the shipwreck and pointed at the River-Turning Rat’s nest with his right hand.

Immediately, five of the nine people behind him automatically separated and quietly crouched around the nest of their base. Their qi were boiling, and they were ready to attack at any time.

Among the five people, one of them was lanky and had a pale face.

With a wave of his hand, a translucent blue shield appeared on him and the other four people.

The shield covered the five of them. Under the shield, the five of them instantly felt lighter. They no longer felt the water pressure, nor did they have difficulty breathing.

This person was the second-in-command of the Wild Wave Company, Gu Shan, he was an esper with water elements.

He was using the Water Shield, which could block physical attacks and elemental attacks. It could also block spiritual detection.

That was exactly why the electric eel clone could not detect them with the Electric Field skill because it was covered by Gu Shan’s shield.

Gao Yong brought the remaining three people and charged straight into the hole in the sunken ship.

Upon entering the sunken ship, Gao Yong’s heart skipped a beat!

It seemed that many exotic beasts had crawled into the sunken ship, the hull was full of signs of damage, and a large number of hatch doors had been torn apart!

Gao Yong’s heart tightened as he led the three of them to the cargo hold.

After confirming that the hard door of the cargo hold was not damaged, Gao Yong heaved a sigh of relief.

He made a gesture to the three men behind him, and they immediately understood what to do. They quickly searched the ship for Wu Daonan’s body.

Before entering the water, they had already rehearsed their plan many times.

The most important thing to do after entering the sunken ship was to find the key to the cargo hold, and the key was tied to Wu Daonan’s neck!

The four of them split up and soon found Wu Daonan’s body in the living room.

Unfortunately, they were only met with severe disappointment. The four of them stripped Wu Daonan naked, but they still couldn’t find the key!

The four of them were a little confused. They searched everywhere and anywhere. They searched almost every nook and cranny, but they could not find the key to the cargo hold!

For this reason, they spent more time underwater. They even had to take turns going up the surface to replenish their air pockets.

In a fit of anger, Gao Yong chopped the bodies of Wu Daonan and the others into pieces, but he still couldn’t find the key in their stomachs!

This plan had been in play for the past two months, but in the end, they were met with nothing!

Gao Yong had no choice but to carry out Plan B. He used an underwater cutter to cut open the alloy door!

This was the last resort!

As a well-known merchant association in the Bai Yue Province, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had cast every cargo hold with high-strength alloys that could withstand the attacks of even Level Three exotic beasts. They took into consideration every danger they might encounter in the future.

This made the cargo hold extremely tough. Cutting it open was time-consuming and laborious, and it would attract a lot of attention. If he was not careful, beasts might come swimming over.

Sure enough, after the noisy sound of the cutter in the water for a few minutes, the River-Turning Rat hiding in the hole was awakened by the sound.

A handsome River-Turning Rat with light golden fur crawled out of the hole angrily.

Monsters all had territorial awareness. The stronger they were, the higher this awareness would be.

At this moment, the River-Turning Rat saw the uninvited guest who had intruded into its territory and immediately charged over.

When they saw that these uninvited guests dared to barge into the sunken ship and trample over everything, they were even more furious!

Over the past few months, the spirit energy aura that had been leaking out of the sunken ship had made them very fond of this place.

The three River-Turning Rats felt provoked when these humans entered the sunken ship!

Without a word, the three River-Turning Rats immediately launched an attack!

The originally calm Lianjiang River immediately turned into a huge warzone. Under the control of the three River-Turning Rats, waves of water attacked and crashed towards Gao Yong and the others!

“I’ll try and stop them. You two keep going!”

Gao Yong roared and led Gu Shan and the others toward the River-Turning Rat, leaving two of his men behind to con tinue operating the cutter.

Now that things had come to this, he could only force his way through!

They would fight as long as they could until the door opened!

There weren’t many beasts lying in the river at the moment. They could still endure this pressure!

The seven humans and three rats fought fiercely underwater. Wherever they went, waves spewed out and pillars of bubbles soared into the sky.

The mud in the river surged up, and the banks on both sides collapsed.

Although Gao Yong and Gu Shan were both Rank Three, they still struggled to attack the Rank Three River-flipping Rats attack.

The River-Turning Rat wasn’t an ordinary mutated beast species.

Furthermore, it had the advantage of being in the water. Hence, it suppressed Gao Yong and Gu Shan in a short battle.

Fortunately, the Wild Wave Company had many people and continued to provide support. Otherwise, Gao Yong and Gu Shan would have been beheaded

long ago’.

“The fight down there must be intense!”

“Looks like it. If we were down there, just the aftershock alone would be enough to kill us…”

On the bank of Lianjiang, Gao Yong’s nephew and someone else looked at the situation in the water in shock.

The commotion underwater was huge. It overturned the shore and waves of water crashed onto the riverbank. It was as if the Lianjiang River was about to rush to the shore.

However, just as the two of them were lamenting, a ferocious figure in heavy armor had unknowingly crept behind them.

The electric eel’s eyes revealed a cold killing intent. It raised its two iron claws, and its thick and sharp claws pierced straight into the hearts of the two men!

The two of them instantly died without making a sound!

After quickly killing the two people, the electric eel clone carried the two corpses and rushed to the river in the distance.

With a flick of his mouth, the log that floated on the surface of the river instantly opened its bloody mouth. It excitedly caught the food that fell from the sky and swallowed it whole.

The electric eel clone rushed back along the original road, cleaning up all the blood that dripped from the two people along the way.

After a while, the last trace of these two people’s lives in the world had disappeared..
