After sailing for three long days on the back of the divine turtle, Jared and the others finally caught a vague glimpse of the island.
“D”mn it! I thought the island would be very close, but it turned out to be so far!” Jared could not help cursing upon spotting the island.
Although they were not hungry despite not eating or drinking in the three days they spent on the turtle’s back, it was downright frustrating.
The divine turtle swam toward the island. Meanwhile, Jared stretched vigorously and stared at the island that appeared from afar.
However, the divine turtle suddenly stopped advancing and swam in place relentlessly. Seeing that, Jared inexorably frowned.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Chance?” Cloud asked in puzzlement.
“It looks like another demon beast is about to appear,” Jared answered, No sooner had his words rang out than waves of pitch-black seawater billowed. A faint blue light resembling a demon beast’s eyes glowed in the water.
Swoosh!
Out of the blue, something shot up into the sky. from the Night Sea, bringing along heaps of seawater that rained down.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jared and the others had been prepared and formed a spiritual energy shield around themselves, the seawater would have turned them into drowned rats.
As the seawater surged, a streak of light abruptly flashed overhead. On the heels of that, a dazzling burst of light lit up the dark surroundings, making it appear like day..
A demon beast with a strange form and a pair of fleshy wings stared intently at Jared and the others. “What kind of demon beast is this? It looks terrifying!”
The instant Quinley laid eyes on the demon beast, she was so petrified that she trembled all over. She had never seen any demon beast with such a horrifying form in the far north..
Even Jared and Cloud had no idea what kind of demon beast it was. After all, many had never seen the demon beasts of the sea. As Jared studied the demon beast before him, apprehension swamped him.
If it were on land, he would not be afraid. On the Night Sea, however, there was no solid ground for him to stand on.
Besides, even the greatest cultivator found it. difficult to remain in the air above the Night Sea for a long time. Consequently, they had no way of dealing with demon beasts capable of flight. Without warning, the terrifying demon beast. swooped toward the trio..
At that, Jared had Cloud protect Quinley while he whipped out Dragonslayer Sword to fight it. While the demon beast was diving at them, the divine turtle suddenly spurted out a jet of seawater from its mouth.
Like a sharp sword, the seawater headed straight for the demon beast. Seeing that, the demon beast hastily dodged. Subsequently, it flapped its wings and let out a series of screeches in mid-air, seemingly mocking the divine turtle.
In turn, the divine turtle let out a roar. Immediately after, three waves of water approached from afar. In no time, they reached Jared. Unexpectedly, underneath them were three relatively small divine turtles.
Jared promptly grasped his divine turtle’s meaning and said to Quinley and Cloud, “Let’s jump on the backs of the other divine turtles!”
After he had said that, the three of them. jumped onto the backs of the other divine. turtles. Without Jared and the others on its back, the gigantic divine turtle threw its head back before soaring into the sky from the Night Sea.
Then, a jet of water sped out of its mouth, headed right for the flying demon beast. Fear instantly showed in the eyes of the demont beast. Flapping its fleshy wings, it desperately flew higher into the sky..
But like a sharp sword, the jet of water pierced. its wings. In pain, it let out an agonized cry. Its body then plummeted into the sea.
Splash!
A loud splash rang out, and waves roiled on the surface of the sea. The divine turtle also made a nosedive from mid-air and plunged into the water. Jared saw large bubbles materializing on the surface of the Night Sea as though the water was boiling.
After a few minutes, however, the surface of the sea reverted to its usual calmness. Then, the divine turtle popped out from the water with a beast core in its bloodied mouth.
