The colossal beast revealed its terrifying maw, its upper and lower jaws encased in rough, black-grey thick skin, lined with sharp, serrated teeth.
Emerging from the water, it swallowed vast amounts of seawater, and of the fish Bai Ye had stunned with electricity, more than half were devoured! This creature seemed to have good taste, targeting the valuable and rare fish – bluefin tuna, giant groupers, large yellow croakers…
Among them was the bluefin tuna that had fetched a record-breaking price of 65 million!
With a thunderous roar…
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious giant beast churned the water and dove back beneath the surface, its movements exceptionally swift.
Bai Ye’s lips twitched. What a scoundrel! He had always been the one to snatch things from others! Now, the tables had turned, and this impudent creature had stolen three hundred million from him!
His spatial perception instantly released to its limit, covering a five-hundred-meter radius, he finally saw the full picture of the mysterious giant beast.
Its massive head sported two bulging, frog-like eyeballs; a rotund, enormous belly; a neck so short it was almost nonexistent; and a pair of three-fingered claws. Its long tail was covered in scales, and its hindquarters resembled an alligator…
Overall, it looked like a colossal tadpole! Its appearance was even more simple and honest than Goudan’s…
What sort of monstrosity is this!!!
“Woof woof woof!!! (Scary fellow, Master be careful!)”
“Whimper whimper! (Master, come back quickly)”
Goudan and Xiao Fantuan behind him, their eyes filled with anxiety and vigilance, couldn’t help but bark at Bai Ye.
Xiao Daimei was dumbfounded, and the netizens in the livestream, upon realizing the giant beast had vanished, erupted into an uproar.
“(⊙ˍ⊙) W…What is this thing???”
“Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Oh my heavens! Just now… was that an illusion?”
“Illusion my foot, didn’t you see Brother Ye’s caught fish were half eaten? This is a damn giant beast! A terrifyingly immense giant beast!”
“Oh my god! ヾ(≧o≦)〃 Its mouth alone was that big, its body must be hundreds of meters wide? Good heavens! A legendary sea monster???”
“As vast as the Kun, no one knows how many thousand li it is! Could this… could this be the legendary Kun?”
“As everyone knows, ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas’ is not a fairy tale, but historical records! (dog emoji for protection)”
“Brother Ye, everyone sees it now! You can’t hide the fact that you’re raising a monster!”
“Holy crap! Brother Ye is panicking, he’s panicking!!”
…
In the livestream, Bai Ye was seen skating on the ice blocks that hadn’t yet melted, speeding towards the location of the mysterious giant beast. It was still down there, devouring the fish that had been electrocuted and were floating in the lower layers of the seawater.
How could Bai Ye tolerate this! Secretly, he unleashed the magic spell
The solidity of the ice was several hundred times stronger than when he had only used his ice elemental power!
“Roar… boom boom –”
However, the mysterious giant beast, frozen in the frigid ice, let out a muffled roar, twisting its body. The surrounding ice cracked and shattered.
Then, using its terrifying massive mouth and its sharp claws, it smashed through the ice in front of it, advancing with great speed.
Bai Ye, on the icy surface, pursued it relentlessly. As it was about to break through all the ice, Bai Ye froze the seawater ahead again.
Thus, the mysterious giant beast dug its way through, and Bai Ye sealed it with ice…
Although Bai Ye’s ice elemental power was only at an intermediate level, it could still contend with Lydia to some extent.
But before this mysterious giant beast, it was ineffective! This creature was much stronger than Lydia. However, despite Bai Ye’s constant obstruction, it showed no intention of attacking him, and instead kept fleeing towards the deep sea.
And Bai Ye, without using advanced fire magic, couldn’t do anything to it!
Thus, one fleeing and one chasing, they quickly covered several nautical miles.
“Holy crap! Is Brother Ye chasing that monster?”
“o(〃'▽'〃)o! Brother Ye is too brave! Brother Ye is a true man!”
“Three hundred million! Brother Ye has never suffered such a big loss! Even if it’s Godzilla, I don’t think Brother Ye would let it go! ɖීීϸ、”
“[ಠ□ಠ]、 Brother Ye, be careful, don’t chase it!”
…
The viewers stared intently at the screen, their hearts filled with tension, excitement, anticipation, and a surge of adrenaline…
Meanwhile, the higher-ups of Great Xia, seeing this scene, felt their recently settled hearts leap back into their throats. They even immediately put the military into a state of readiness.
Leader Liu Qinmin, his face grave, asked Eastern Commander Old Song, who was on the line:
“Old Song, could this ferocious beast be the one from the R-country’s waters?”
On Old Song’s end, he was staring at another large screen displaying a photo of the mysterious giant beast emerging from the sea and snatching Bai Ye’s ‘three hundred million’.
After rapid analysis and thought, he slowly nodded.
“It is, the Sea Devourer, a Disaster-level ferocious beast!”
