CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 226: NEW TALENT: STORM FURY

"Boom!!"

The sky was overcast, with flashes of lightning.

A suppressive force enveloped the entire island, and two mermaids of different ages peeked from the corner of the Azure Lake, trembling.

"Sister Lily, Falling Eagle Island looks so terrifying."

The young mermaid seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and exceptional beauty.

This is the natural advantage of the Mermaid Clan, with few races able to match their appearance, except perhaps the legendary Elf Clan.

The mermaid called Lily nodded unconsciously, looking at the ominous clouds and lightning with some worry, holding a slightly glowing silver coin that looked freshly polished.

Why did that gentleman instruct them to temporarily live on Falling Eagle Island until he appeared?

Could he have other intentions?

And his favored, that terrifying octopus, even instructed them to search for glowing objects or fallen gold and silver coins from humans nearby.

This hobby is truly baffling.

"Sss!!"

Suddenly, a hissing sound arose.

The two mermaids trembled, quickly turning their heads to look.

A giant octopus with a dark blue hue had somehow surfaced, revealing half of its skull-shaped head above the lake.

Its eerie green eyes were larger than a human’s body, rotating and staring directly at them, as if it could hear their thoughts, sending chills down their spines.

Though they hadn’t been harmed over the past ten days, the unfamiliar environment made them anxious.

"Sss!!"

The shout sounded again, with the octopus beast still looking at them.

The elder mermaid named Lily was a bit puzzled, but soon realized something was wrong.

It’s not looking at us! The thought popped up, and she instinctively turned to look behind her.

The island’s sparse woodlands sloped upward in a ring shape toward the center, with low hills blocking the view.

But nevertheless.

"Thump!"

"Thump!!"

"Thump!!!"

The dull sound of footsteps grew closer, and the two mermaids, like startled birds, quickly submerged their bodies, exposing only half of their heads to look toward the low hill.

"Sss!!!"

An excited shout rang out, and they paused slightly, sensing respect and fawning within it.

A wild guess emerged quickly.

Boom!!

Thunder roared above the lake as a silver serpent flashed across the sky.

Reflected gold light entered their eyes, and upon closer inspection, a figure in golden armor had appeared unknown to them, standing atop the low hill.

"It’s him!"

The two mermaids’ eyes brightened.

Their hearts instinctively relaxed slightly, but in the next instant.

Thud!!!

The low hill was stomped and shattered by brute force, and the figure in golden armor leaped into the air, towards the center of the lake.

The two mermaids’ eyes widened, unable to comprehend the situation.

Until the next second.

"Jia Ta!"

"Sss!!"

A command echoed in their souls, prompting the octopus beast to quickly raise its sturdy tentacles above the lake like a suspension bridge, providing leverage as the figure descended, shooting straight forward.

Boom!!

At that moment, the thunderous clouds above grew louder.

Following this, in the astonished eyes of the two mermaids.

Crack!!

A bolt of lightning struck down, heading directly towards the lake.

A crisis of life and death filled his heart as Chen Feng soared through the air with a grave expression.

After being alerted by Jia Ta, he hurried there through a Second-time Dream under the cover of night.

The deep blue Talent Light Group hovered a few meters above the lake, and just as he expected, everything was fine.

However.

Crack!!

Lightning struck fast, already upon him.

Despite sensing that the thundercloud was peculiar and dangerous upon arriving at Falling Eagle Island, preemptively activating the Steel Bone Shield,

he still did not expect such a proactive attack.

Boom!!!

Immediately, the lightning struck, black light burst forth.

The dissipated power was conducted into the water, causing the two mermaids to widen their eyes, their hair standing on end, before fainting directly.

"Sss!!!"

Paying no heed to this, Jia Ta followed orders, unleashing his power, raising tentacles, and throwing them upward.

The surface of the golden armor crackled with electric light, black flashes intersected.

Chen Feng’s blood surged, knowing that without the Green Armor buffering most of the impact, he would likely be injured.

Even so, he still felt his body slightly stiffened and numb, needing Jia Ta’s strength to leap upward and seize the light group.

Boom!!

Thunder roared again, with silver serpents dancing and thunderclouds raging.

With an unchanging expression, Chen Feng leveraged himself once more, reaching upwards directly towards the floating light group within reach.

Five meters, three meters, one meter...

Crack!!!

Another bolt of lightning approached, even more potent than before.

The green eyes of Jia Ta below widened, frozen, yet unable to assist.

Until the last moment.

Buzz!!

Golden light exploded, White Gray hovered in the air.

The solidified Holy Shield Giant gleamed with golden patterns, its wings folded, taking the hit instead of Chen Feng.

Boom!!!

Silver-blue light clashed with golden light.

The silent yet resilient Holy Shield Giant fell into the lake, creating a massive splash and waves.

"Thank you for your effort."

A whisper of comfort echoed within, as Chen Feng could perceive his companion had sustained some injury.

Boom!!

Thunder boomed yet again, with electric light converging, about to strike.

With brilliant, bright eyes, Chen Feng remained airborne, with no trump cards left.

Crack!!

Lightning struck once more, and Jia Ta’s eyes widened below, somewhat fearful.

Yet, Chen Feng suddenly smiled, his fingertips touching that deep blue hue.

Buzz!!!

In an instant, the descending lightning vanished, the dark clouds above churning restlessly.

The sound of swirling winds arose from thin air, stirring the lake into ripples, sending distant dead leaves and loose stones spiraling upwards.

This unusual phenomenon startled Chen Feng, as the deep blue light group before him abruptly shattered, transforming into a whirlwind, rushing into his body.
