CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 147: SEA MONSTER

"It seems we got on the wrong ship."

Wen Shu gently pushed open the cabinet door, pulling Wu Xuan as they ran toward the deck. As they stepped out of the cabin, a gust of howling sea wind surged up, dousing them with seawater.

"Watch out!"

Wu Xuan shielded her in time, but a few drops still splashed onto her face, freezing cold, colder than winter snow.

Wen Shu didn’t mind this; she wiped her face, gripped the railing tightly, and looked back to find the ship moving at an absurd speed, the pier already a blur.

Only heavy fog, the turbulent dark sea, and the white trails left by the ship cutting through the water were present in front of her.

Another wave, over ten meters high, rose from the right, the dark seawater reflecting the glazed lamp lights, like a massive abyssal mouth slamming down on the ship.

Wen Shu widened her eyes, feeling a tinge of fear, while the beastmen on the deck cheered excitedly.

Along with Wu Xuan, drenched like a wet dog, she finally confirmed they indeed boarded the wrong ship.

This group of beastmen were either from the Sea Clan or land beasts going to play by the sea; otherwise, who would be soaked and not think about going back to take a bath, but instead eager to jump off the ship?

The closer they got to the Kasadi Sea Area, the colder it became. She rubbed her arms, staying close to Wu Xuan, "Let’s go back to the cabin first. When we reach the destination, we’ll see if there’s a ship heading to the Yisha Empire."

Wen Shu released the railing, looking at the dark sea swirling with undercurrents, "Let’s go."

The Kasadi Sea Area is not suitable for land beast habitation; it’s chilly and damp, with no sunlight all year round, staying too long might lead to depression.

She retracted her gaze, but from the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a massive scale-like sinister cold light pass through the black water, quickly disappearing beside the ship.

As if evading some kind of pursuit...

She wasn’t the only one who noticed; the males on the deck saw it too.

A land beast felt uneasy, cautiously stepping back a few paces, "There’s something in the sea!"

Seeing him so frightened, the beastmen from the Sea Clan burst into laughter, mocking him for being inexperienced.

"What are you afraid of? It’s just a giant sea whale!"

"They’re gentle in nature and won’t harm beastmen..."

However, as they spoke, the ship, stable amidst the recent giant wave, suddenly lurched.

The sea beast by the railing had its smile freeze awkwardly, looking down with an unpleasant face, yet there were still those laughing heartily, "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, the sea whale is friendly, just interacting with us..."

Suddenly, the ship tilted sharply to the right, and the teasing voices of the beastmen abruptly came to a stop.

Wen Shu stumbled, uncertainly gripping the railing.

Just then, a high-pitched whale call echoed, followed by an overwhelming wave crashing onto the deck, the icy seawater nearly reaching their ankles!

"It’s a Giant Corpse Beast! How can there be a Giant Corpse Beast on this route!"

"Hurry to the cabin to find the captain!"

With beastmen in chaos behind her, Wen Shu retreated a few steps, wanting to return to the cabin, but was suddenly confronted by a pair of massive, blood-red eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty cold light.

Hearing the beastmen’s shouts, its dark nostrils exhaled viscous heat, its cold eyes shifting slightly.

Facing a Giant Corpse Beast for the first time, Wen Shu felt utterly cold, holding her breath in tension, wondering if, when swallowed, she could carve a bloody path before being digested...

She dared not move, but fortunately, the Giant Corpse Beast’s gaze settled on the male organizing the attack and leisurely diverted into the sea.

As soon as the Giant Corpse Beast disappeared, Wu Xuan immediately grabbed her stiff shoulder, "Ashu, you hide first..."

But before he could finish, a loud crash erupted from the ship’s midsection.

A thick, pus-covered, blood-streaked gray snake tail, with nearly all its scales gone, had wrapped around the vessel.

As the snake tail slowly tightened, the ship’s body started cracking, emitting a series of cracking sounds.

Wen Shu struggled to maintain her composure, feeling the ship tilt, firmly grasping Wu Xuan, "I can’t leave, we must kill this Giant Corpse Beast, go help, but be careful not to fall into the sea..."

Her mood heavy, land beasts are at a disadvantage on the sea; if the ship breaks, even if not eaten by the Giant Corpse Beast, they might drown first!

A few tall males had already started the attack, "Where is the captain!"

"Stop wasting time! If this drags on, everyone on board will die!"

The Sea Beast Group roared and leapt into the deep sea, Wu Xuan ceased to hesitate, transforming into beast form and pouncing towards the snake tail.

The battle beneath the sea was fierce, causing the ship to shake continually; Wen Shu steadied her stance, contemplating a solution.

As she retreated, another ghostly massive form emerged from the sea...

"Roar——"

A mournful cry resounded in mid-air, and Wen Shu sharply looked up.

A white whale was lifted under the moonlight, its agonized eyes nearly bursting, with blood flowing like a stream from its pierced chest.

Wen Shu’s pupils trembled, her gaze trailing down along the blood-red tentacle that had pierced it.

She saw a gigantic octopus, its skin slimy, covered in yellow pus, decayed beyond recognition.

Noticing her gaze, the octopus’ bloodshot gray eyes, hidden beneath its rotting skin, slowly fixated on her.

Wen Shu’s heart skipped a beat, instantly extending her claws.

But before she could retreat, a gigantic, pus-dripping tentacle formed a shadowy image, thrusting straight at her!

She held her breath, quickly twirling to dodge, rolling twice on the ground, barely evading it.

Behind a "bang," the spot where she had stood was smashed into a deep pit.

Wen Shu felt a chill of lingering fear; had it struck her, she would likely have been turned to pulp!

"Damn it!"

These Giant Corpse Beasts are on a completely different level compared to mutant beasts.

She tried to stand up, but just as she moved, a shadow fell, and the sound of breaking air rose on the right side again.

Once again, she rolled to dodge; in the distance, the beastmen finally recognized what was happening, with the leading Black Panther rushing towards her, only to witness in shock as two tentacles wrapped tightly around her.

"Ashu!"

His pupils contracted, leaping into the deep sea without hesitation.

Hearing the agonized cry, the males rushing from the cockpit also witnessed this heart-stopping scene!

The old beastman Jin Yu recognized the female being dragged into the deep sea, "Isn’t that..."

But before he could finish, a male beside him shed his snowy white fur clothing, leaping into the sea, leaving only a cold silver shadow before disappearing.

In the pitch-black deep sea.

Her body wrapped in icy seawater, Wen Shu held her breath, struggling to remain calm, and continually slashed her claws at the tightening slimy tentacle around her waist.

However, with the barrier of seawater and the tentacle’s slippery surface hard to grip, she cut for ages, her cheeks turning a purplish color from the lack of air, and still didn’t sever it halfway.

Her waist was about to be crushed instead!

The seawater skimming past her cheeks like blades, the gigantic octopus was dragging her to the deepest seabed.

Wen Shu didn’t understand why it didn’t just kill her, but if this continued, she’d drown in this sea!

Once again, facing a desperate situation...

Could it be she hasn’t escaped her fate yet?

She tightened her brows, grasped the tentacle in her hand, her body glowing with faint white light, but in the next second, her heavy mood was instantly replaced by astonishment.

The decaying tentacle beneath her palm suddenly emitted wisps of white smoke in the seawater, as if being slowly corroded...
