When Xie Xie led everyone through the secret passage to the deck, they all hid behind cover and quietly observed...
Vaguely, they could see that every Soul Master on the deck had already released their Martial Souls, looking up gravely at the ocean ahead, as though awaiting something...
Xu Xiaoyan asked in confusion, "Eh, why has everyone released their Martial Souls, and why do they all look so grave?"
Gu Yue took a deep breath, "It seems our guess was correct, this Giant Wheel has already caught the attention of the sea soul beasts, I'm afraid it won't be long before the battle begins!"
Yet, Tang Wulin's gaze was drawn to an enormous Mecha exuding a crushing presence...
He exclaimed in shock, "Hiss... Is that, the legendary God Rank Mecha! Could this person be the Sect Master of the Body Sect?"
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had read plenty of information about Mechas and recognized at a glance that this Mecha belonged to the Sect Master of the Body Sect!
Ye Xinglan narrowed her eyes, "Even the Sect Master of the Body Sect has released his God Rank Mecha for battle, the upcoming fight is bound to be very difficult!"
Next to her, Xu Lizhi cautiously said, "Sister Xinglan, perhaps… we should go down to the lower level?"
Having never seen such an array of forces, he couldn't possibly claim he wasn't scared!
However, it seemed their discussion was too loud, and quickly drew the attention of a guard...
Upon discovering Tang Wulin and his group hiding behind cover, the guard frowned and said, "How did you kids get up here? Hurry down to the lower level, it's dangerous on the deck!"
Tang Wulin explained, "Guard brother, we're just watching secretly, we absolutely won't stick our heads out!"
The guard decisively refused, "No, the sea soul beasts attacking this time are numerous, with your strength, if you got caught up in it, you would surely die!"
Tang Wulin and the others looked at each other and could only nod, "Okay... okay then."
But just as they were about to leave the deck for the lower level, the entire Giant Wheel suddenly began to shake violently!
At first glance, it was the ocean ahead that had stirred up a towering and terrifying wave, dozens of meters high, viciously crashing against the Giant Wheel's Protective Barrier!
The whole scene was incredibly frightening!
At the same time, Mu Ye, already sensing that the Giant Wheel was surrounded by sea soul beasts, shouted loudly, "Attention everyone, sea soul beasts are attacking, prepare for battle!"
And the guard who heard this sentence, with a troubled expression warned Tang Wulin and the others, "Hide behind the cover and don't come out at any cost!"
After saying that, he quickly returned to his own post...
Tang Wulin and the others nodded, carefully hiding beside the cover...
Meanwhile, the Soul Masters stationed at the rear to protect the Giant Wheel released their soul skills without any hesitation, soul rings flashing under their feet...
"Fifth Soul Skill! Petrification!"
"Fourth Soul Skill! Indomitable!"
"Fourth Soul Skill! Chaotic Body!"
In an instant, a myriad of soul skills were layered onto the Giant Wheel, significantly bolstering its defenses!
As for the Soul Masters at the front, tasked with reducing the combat power of the sea soul beasts, one could clearly see a vast swarm of sharks!
Especially the patterns on the shark fins and their size easily brought to mind an extremely terrifying type of sea soul beast!
Devil Soul Great White Shark!
"My god, all these sea soul beasts are Devil... Devil Soul Great White Sharks! And the scale is huge!"
"Devil Soul Great White Sharks are also a dominant presence in the ocean, damn it, our luck today is just the worst!!"
"Can we really withstand the attack from so many Devil Soul Great White Sharks?"
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Although Devil Soul Great White Sharks are strong, they're not very powerful in one-on-one attacks. Our chances of successfully defending are very high!"
But even before the morale could be stabilized, a hoarse voice echoed from the ocean, "Foolish humans, you pass through our territory uninvited, killing our kin. Are you ready to face extinction?"
Immediately afterward, a massive figure emerged from the ocean, its silver-white dorsal fin like a small island, long and sharp like the edge of a blade, emitting a chilling coldness!
Not only that, but a little distance away from it, an even larger dark purple figure rose to the surface, and it seemed no smaller than the first!
The appearance of these two behemoths immediately captured everyone's attention...
Even Xu Sheng's ink-colored pupils showed a touch of surprise as she said without changing her expression, "Sect Master Mu, it looks like this attack isn't just from a single hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast..."
Mu Ye spoke gravely, "Indeed, I had not expected the Devil Soul Great White Sharks and the Deepsea Devil Whale King to join forces against us. This complicates matters!"
Everyone had guessed wrong; aside from those two ferocious beasts that had reached the cultivation level of a hundred thousand years, the combined groups of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks and the Deepsea Devil Whale King added up to a terrifying thousand!
Just relying on the Soul Masters aboard the Giant Wheel, the odds of resisting were zero!
Fortunately, the other side didn't launch an immediate attack, which meant there was still room for negotiation!
With this in mind, he looked at the forefront, where the Devil Soul Great White Shark and the Deepsea Devil Whale King, both with cultivation levels of a hundred thousand years, spoke out, "We're merely passing through, and have never actively killed any of your people! Besides, humans nowadays are not lacking in hundred-thousand-year soul rings!"
"I implore you to leave quickly, or else, do not blame us for being heartless!"
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the sea soul beasts became incredibly agitated, and an overwhelming oppressive force began to spread...
The Devil Soul Great White Shark bellowed, "Shut up, you despicable humans! Because of your interference, we sea soul beasts have also lost our living space in the ocean!"
"You've brought this on yourselves!"
The next second, it manipulated the ocean to form several water columns, each about ten meters tall, slamming towards the Giant Wheel...
Seeing this, Mu Ye casually launched a blast toward the incoming water columns...
Enormous Soul Power converged into a massive crimson fist shadow that collided with the water columns, dissipating them within a few seconds...
Then he said coldly, "If so, then let's speak with strength. Everyone, take action!"
...
Hiding behind a barricade, Xie Xie's scalp was tingling as he trembled, "Thou... thousands of Devil Soul Great White Sharks and Deepsea Devil Whale Kings... Can humans really contend with this?"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile, "If we don't have any special methods... our chances of winning are zero."
Even he felt there was no possibility of winning.
Ye Xinglan sighed, "Among the sea soul beasts that have come to attack, it's really unfortunate that it's Devil Soul Great White Sharks and Deepsea Devil Whale Kings!"
Xu Lizhi despaired, "Does that mean we will become food for these sea soul beasts?"
But at this moment, Gu Yue's eyes shone, "No, perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope!"
Ever since the beginning, he had noticed that everyone, including Mu Ye, felt intimidated by the powerful presence of the sea soul beasts!
Only Teacher Xu's face always displayed calmness!
