The impact from the Diamondback Armored Ctenophores attack caused the houseboat to tilt dangerously to one side. This was followed by a sharp crack of splintering wood as the monster careened across the deck. This scared Xinya because he knew that there was a slight chance of the houseboat capsizing.
As he held on for dear life behind one of the bolted-down patio sofas, he could faintly hear the movements of the others near him. He was certain that he heard the sound of Wei letting out a terrified shriek from a distance away.
Xinya knew that they needed to think up a plan on how to deal with this giant sea creature that was out to kill them. Since time was of the essence, he opened up his interface, as quickly as he could, and turned on the party voice chat.
