CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 133: SOUTHERN EXPEDITION ARMY

On her way back to Fandi Port, Yue Jinghua alone inspected the Devil Shell in the cabin.

She took out the Sky Shrieking Dagger, pried open the Devil Shell, and although it was already dead, the top and bottom shells were still firmly closed together, Yue Jinghua exerted considerable effort to pry open the shells.

"This thing is really huge!" Yue Jinghua estimated by sight that the Devil Shell could swallow an adult. If it were in the Western Era Century, she would definitely believe that the Devil Shell had ingested hormones, but on the Canglong Continent, the appearance of such a Devil Shell was very unusual.

According to the Gold Eater Worm, the Devil Shell is an omnivorous Sea Beast, mainly feeding on the carcasses of other sea creatures and the remains of shipwrecked crews.

Ordinary Devil Shells only operate in deep sea reefs and do not actively attack sea creatures and ships, let alone leap out of the water like this one, spraying water jets to kill a Sub-Asian Dragon.

After opening the shell, the soft flesh inside the shell was blasted to shreds by the Black Silk Crystal.

Yue Jinghua carefully inspected the shell’s flesh and finally pulled out a small light purple bead-like object.

"Color Worm, what is this thing? There’s no need for the Devil Shell to shiver. Such a big size and it only produced such a small thing," Yue Jinghua was greedy for wealth. She had thought she could find a High-level Dark Pill or a Big Pearl inside the body of the Devil Shell, but instead found something only the size of a small fingertip.

And looking at its color, it doesn’t resemble ordinary pearls that are translucent and smooth.

"Ow, ow, it’s gill beads. Keeping gill beads in your mouth, you can grow gill glands like a fish, allowing you to freely dive into the seabed," Gold Eater Worm shook its head and tail, snickering at Yue Jinghua’s naivety; gill beads are worth much more than ordinary Dark Pills, absolutely a Middle Level or higher Holy Treasure.

Hearing this, Yue Jinghua was skeptical, glanced at the gill bead, and without saying a word, pinched the Gold Eater Worm and stuffed the gill bead into its mouth.

Poor Gold Eater Worm had just recently gotten rid of its zebra pattern, and believed it had regained its handsome and dashing nature, but once the gill bead entered its mouth, two scar-like gills grew under its mouth

, even covered with a thin film, at first glance, looking like a short-legged tadpole.

"Ow, ow, ugly, I can’t swim," Yue Jinghua immediately threw the Gold Eater Worm out of the ship, only to see that although the Gold Eater Worm fumbled for a moment, it was not drowned.

After fishing it out, Yue Jinghua finally satisfiedly took back the gill bead.

With the gill bead, if she encounters a Sea Beast again, handling it will be much more convenient.

This time, she had Death Lake Water and Black Death Crystal, which barely allowed her to kill the lantern jellyfish and the Devil Shell.

But relying on tools and poison is ultimately not a long-term solution.

The trip to Fandi Port made Yue Jinghua realize a flaw in both herself and her own Dark Beasts.

On land and air, she has corresponding Dark Beasts to assist, but in maritime or water areas, she has no means of defense.

If possible, she wants to contract at least one King-level or higher High-level Sea Beast during this trip to Fandi Port. Only in this way, she will be confident in facing various enemies and Dark Beasts and remain undefeated.

After checking the flesh of the Devil Shell thoroughly again, Yue Jinghua was sure that the reason for the Devil Shell’s ferocity was not intrinsic to the Devil Shell itself.

At that moment, she noticed the Devil Shell’s shell that she had pried open and discarded aside.

"!"

Unlike ordinary shells, the surface of the Devil Shell not only had the shell’s patterns but also featured a patch that looked like Holy Runes.

Why are there traces of Holy Runes on the surface of the shell?

As Yue Jinghua carefully examined the patterns on the Devil Shell’s surface, completely puzzled, Chi Xi interrupted her thoughts.

"Captain, the helmsman of the Sea and Air Ship just received a signal, Fandi Port has also encountered an onslaught by Sea Beasts. From the Moon Goddess Lighthouse area near Fandi Port’s harbor all the way to the pier, extending to Moon Beach, it is all covered with various sizes of lantern jellyfish and humpback sharks."

Just as Captain Ya Lei had anticipated, tonight, indeed, the Sea Beasts charged.

However, what no one had expected was that the Sea Beasts did not charge during the high tide in the early night using the momentum of water, but during the low tide close to dawn in the latter half of the night, launching a sudden raid.

In the second half of the night when the military’s vigilance was relaxed, was precisely when the Sea Defense Army was lax in their guard.

Upon hearing this, Yue Jinghua put away the Devil Shell she had not yet thoroughly examined and immediately ordered the helmsman to activate the Dark Array and return home.

The Sky Sail detached from the water surface and, utilizing the power of wind and Dark Power, hurriedly flew towards Fandi Port.

Upon detecting the bizarre Sea Beast attack, Fandi Port’s harbor immediately tightened its defenses.

However, this sneak attack by the Sea Beasts was of a magnitude and on a scale that Captain Ya Lei and the Sea Defense Army had never encountered before.

"Report to Captain Ya Lei, a large number of humpback sharks are swimming around Moon Beach, starting to attack waterside buildings,"

"Report to Captain Ya Lei, at the harbor location, lantern jellyfish are ejecting poison liquid, and several port workers have been poisoned and fallen into the water,"

"Report to Captain Ya Lei, in the direction of the lighthouse, a giant Lantern Jellyfish King has been spotted,"

One after another, urgent military situations made the entire Fandi Port like a dangerously unstable flood barrier, ready to collapse at any moment.

And the large-scale operation of the Sea Beasts also alarmed the civilians and tourists within the harbor, to prevent the uninformed public and tourists from entering the harbor and getting attacked by Sea Beasts, Captain Ya Lei had no choice but to allocate hundreds more people to maintain order and manage the crowd.

As Captain Ya Lei was fixing one problem only to encounter another, standing at the harbor, Yu Niang, who was eagerly waiting for her brother Yu Dan to return, looked up and quietly asked pointing at a few black dots in the sky: "What’s that in the sky?"

Hearing the noise, the people couldn’t help but look up and they saw the black dots, approaching from both east and west directions.

Some of the black spots, getting closer and closer, appeared to be several "large birds."

And another black dot, from afar, appeared to be a ship.

People exclaimed in unison, "It’s dragons, dragons from the Empire, Dragon Knights!"

"No, it’s an empty ship, it’s the Empire’s empty ship!"

It’s an empty ship, and also flying dragons.

Captain Ya Lei’s eyes, reddened with anxiety, turned towards the sky, this time, hope rising in them.

He saw the familiar imperial flags, that was the Southern Expedition Army, the Empire’s Southern Expedition Army.

The Southern Expedition Army that arrived several days late!

On the Sea and Air Ship, as Yue Jinghua saw ships and Sub-Asian Dragons flying from both the east and west directions, she too breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart tensed again.

The arrival of the Southern Expedition Army, could it mean the onset of a new battle?

Long Jiuzun, that contemptible person who almost framed her successfully, was also here.

The Diagnosis Ball, a type of small robot, absorbs solar energy, can scan the internal organs, the Universal Military Knife, capable of seamlessly transforming into a scalpel.
