Calamity Descends

It was the voice of the girl in the building.

"She's talking to the Golden Carp King?!"

Not only was Zhang Shanfeng dumbfounded, but even the three soldiers on the assault boat were stunned.

She had just said that she was waiting for someone.

Could she be waiting for the Golden Carp King?

For a moment, everyone on the assault boat turned around in unison.

At this moment, Zhang Beili was thinking about how to explain to his sister that he had been reborn as a fish.

He could already communicate with Zhang Xuanxuan through voice transmission, but he had not thought of how to explain it to her.

Zhang Shanfeng and the others waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the water.

"There's no such thing as the Golden Carp King. She's scaring us on purpose." The soldier on the right said unhappily.

"A little girl's prank, I guess." Tang Xiqing heaved a sigh of relief.

"You can't make such jokes," said the soldier who had not spoken.

"Let's go quickly. I keep feeling that this place is gloomy as if there's something hidden under the water." Tang Xiqing said as he stepped on the accelerator. The assault boat shot out like a cannonball and quickly left the place.

After the assault boat left, Zhang Xuanxuan blinked and continued, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Do you think I should follow them to the survival camp?"

"I forgot. You can't talk. If you tell me to go, come up above the water. If I shouldn't go, stay under the water."

After Zhang Xuanxuan finished speaking, she waited for its opinion expectantly.

Zhang Beili rolled his eyes at her in his heart. He surfaced and said via voice transmission, "You're not allowed to go! I'll bring you to another Immortal Island tomorrow."

A sudden voice sounded in her mind. Zhang Xuanxuan widened her eyes. After a while, she still could not react. She stammered, "You, you can speak?"

"Why does this accent sound so familiar!"

"You are!?"

"Brother!"

When Zhang Xuanxuan came back to her senses, she felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes were red, and tears flowed down her face disobediently. She started crying.

"Brother, so you've been here all along!"

She splashed into the water and wept loudly.

"Alright, don't cry. Didn't I say that as long as you hold the bear, I will appear?" Zhang Beili used her head to push Zhang Xuanxuan out of the water and said with a smile.

"You're too evil. You didn't tell me for so long!" Zhang Xuanxuan snorted and punched him with her fair fist.

"You can't blame me for this. I just learned how to transmit my voice today," Zhang Beili said gloomily.

"It's good that you're fine." Zhang Xuanxuan wiped her face which was mixed with tears and rainwater and asked, "Brother, why did you become a fish?"

"It's a long story!" Zhang Beili hid the fact that he had been reborn and made up a simple reason to fool her. He focused on the information about the Spirit Treasure Island and told her how to find cultivation techniques.

"I didn't expect you to suffer so much." Zhang Xuanxuan hugged his small golden horn and comforted him. "When we reach the Immortal Island, I'll catch a few spirit beasts to nourish you!"

"I couldn't ask for more. I have a huge appetite." Zhang Beili smiled. Speaking of spirit beasts, he suddenly remembered that the spirit egg he had snatched from the Immortal Island in the sea was still hidden in his mouth. He had almost swallowed it.

"Hehe." Zhang Xuanxuan smiled happily.

"I'll bring you out of here first. There's a huge disaster tonight." Zhang Beili looked in the direction of the deep sea.

On the coastline before the storm, a towering lighthouse was still in operation. The military had sent people to maintain it every day to observe the situation in the deep sea.

The sharp and urgent siren exploded at this moment.

The equipment on the lighthouse detected a large-scale sea monster tide rushing out of the deep sea. It was heading towards River City!

At the military base.

Yang Qing'an did not sleep the entire night. So far, the Immortal Islands were still inaccessible, but the sea beasts had already launched an attack on the human cities. Even though they had long set up a defense line, this battle was probably still abnormally difficult.

"The impact of the deep-sea beasts is even earlier than we expected. Inform all the rescuers in River City to evacuate to the back of the first line as soon as possible!" he said.

"Commander, the rescue work is only halfway done. If we retreat now, many people in River City will become food for the sea beasts," someone said, unable to bear it.

"There's nothing we can do. We'll save as many as we can. Those who haven't had time to board the rescue ship can only pray for the best," another officer with authority said.

At this moment, a general quickly walked into the command post and reported, "Commander, most of the mutated creatures on land have been driven to the first line. They will cushion our most violent attack from the deep-sea beasts."

Yang Qing'an nodded and said, "Alright, any news about the Golden Carp King?"

The general replied, "Not at the moment, but it should be in River City."

"If only it could join the team to fight the deep-sea beasts like the Willow Tree King." Yang Qing'an rubbed his temples. He also knew that this was impossible. The Golden Carp King would not listen to their orders, so he said, "Go. Whether we can survive depends on this battle."

Many people in River City were still immersed in the joy of rescue, unaware that a disaster was about to descend.

"I'm here. Come and get me!"

A man shouted excitedly at the assault boat that was sailing towards him. He had not eaten for two days and was starving. The appearance of the rescue team gave him hope.

However, the assault boat that was about to pick him up suddenly slowed down. Then, it changed direction and left as quickly as possible.

"Why?!"

The man's face turned pale. He looked around and immediately understood the reason.

In the direction of the deep sea, monstrous waves devoured houses. Behind the waves were countless sea beasts pushing them.

"Don't go, please!"

"Take my daughter with you. She's only four!"

Desperate screams resounded throughout River City.

After receiving the order, the rescue team couldn't care less. If they were late, they would all die here. They drove as fast as they could to escape.

In order to resist the impact of the deep-sea beasts, the military could only shrink the defense circle. With the mountains in the suburbs of River City as the center, they formed the first line, the second line, and the third line.

They were now fleeing back to the front line.

The assault boat that Zhang Shanfeng was on saved a little girl at the critical moment. After a few minutes of delay, it fell behind.

Tang Xiqing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The attack of the deep-sea beasts was too fast, and he did not give anyone time to react.

"It's over. Our entire ship is done for…"

Zhang Shanfeng looked back with a pale face.

The waves that were dozens of meters tall were less than a kilometer away from them. At this speed, they would be devoured by the waves in a short while. If they fell into the water, they would only become food for the sea beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two soldiers on guard pulled the trigger.

At this moment, a 30-meter-long mutated water snake bit towards them.

The water snake's body seemed to be made of molten iron. When the bullets landed on the snake's scales, sparks flew. It could not be injured at all.

"Looks like we won't have the chance to become fellow Daoists." Tang Xiqing smiled bitterly.
