A terrifying behemoth, over fifty meters long, was rapidly swimming toward them.
Its body was like a small mountain, leaving Ye Feng stunned in place.
The colossal creature resembled a crocodile, covered in dark, hard scales, with four fins beneath its belly and a long, massive tail.
What was most terrifying was its long mouth filled with sharp teeth, like a crocodile magnified tenfold.
Soon, a name surfaced in Ye Feng's mind – Mosasaurus!
Mosasaurus, a long-extinct ruler of the seas, Ye Feng never imagined it would appear here.
"En? Master Mo, there are some Merman tribe powerhouses following us!"
However, just as Ye Feng regained his senses and was about to tell Ariel and the others to stop, the Mermen ahead suddenly discovered them following behind.
Upon hearing this, Master Mo quickly looked back, and Ye Feng also turned to look at them.
Thus, the man in the black robe and Ye Feng met eyes.
As soon as he saw Ye Feng, he angrily exclaimed, "En? It's you again, you persistent shadow!"
"Yes, so what?" Ye Feng replied with a smile.
The man in the black robe snorted, "Leave two to steer the ship, the rest of you, stop them with all your might, don't let them cause trouble!"
"Yes! Master Mo!"
The other Mermen, hearing this, launched an attack on Ye Feng and his companions.
Spiritual energy attacks shot from their hands, bombarding the area in front of Ye Feng and his group.
"Be careful!"
Ariel cried out a warning.
Hearing this, the others began to dodge, but the enemy's attacks were too dense. The other merfolk couldn't dodge in time and sustained significant injuries.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly said to Ariel and the others, "Stop! Since they want to court death, let them go first!"
"En? They're going to court death? What do you mean?" Ariel asked, confused.
The other three merfolk powerhouses also showed bewilderment.
Ye Feng smiled, "Because there's a terrifying behemoth ahead, it's very dangerous. Let them go first to check the situation!"
"What? A terrifying behemoth?"
Upon hearing this, they all looked forward, but they couldn't see anything.
They couldn't see it with their naked eyes because it was still hundreds of meters away. Ye Feng could only see it through his underwater detection abilities.
However, even though they didn't see it, hearing Ye Feng suddenly mention danger, they dared not proceed.
At this moment, the man in the black robe saw that Ye Feng and his group weren't following and asked with some confusion, "Strange, those guys really didn't follow?"
After waiting a few seconds and finding that Ye Feng and his group indeed hadn't followed, he didn't pay it much mind.
Soon, with the Mermen tribe's full speed, they had pulled away from Ye Feng and his group by a hundred meters.
However, in Ye Feng's eyes, the Mermen tribe had already reached the vicinity of the Mosasaurus.
At this moment, the man in the black robe on the wooden boat also frowned, seemingly sensing something.
However, in the next instant, a giant mouth filled with sharp teeth rose from the sea, scattering water, and bit down on the wooden boat.
"En? Careful, there's danger!"
The people on the wooden boat cried out in panic.
The man in the black robe and the Mermen on board quickly jumped into the sea.
The next second, the wooden boat was directly snapped in half by the terrifying maw.
Some of the slower Mermen fell directly into the giant mouth, and after one or two screams, silence fell.
Ariel and the others, who were behind, hadn't fully believed there was anything dangerous ahead, as they, being merfolk, had keen senses for underwater conditions.
But seeing this scene now, they were terrified.
If Ye Feng hadn't stopped them, their fate would likely be the same as those Mermen.
All ten or so Mermen were powerful cultivators in the Xiantian realm. With three or four of them lost at once, they were all stunned.
"Damn it, I wondered why that guy didn't follow. So they discovered something was wrong long ago!" The man in the black robe was furious upon seeing this.
Before they could react, the Mosasaurus roared and continued to charge towards the people in the water.
"Help! I don't want to die yet!"
"Ah! How can there be such a terrifying existence!"
"Too terrifying, run! We're no match for this thing!"
Several Merman Xiantian powerhouses yelled and fled into the distance.
Only the man in the black robe and another Merman in a red robe flew out of the water and launched an attack at the terrifying behemoth.
The Merman in the red robe was the patriarch of the Merman tribe, a late-stage Grandmaster realm cultivator.
However, even with the combined attack of the two Grandmaster realm powerhouses hitting the Mosasaurus, it felt no pain, as if it were being tickled. With a turn, it whipped its tail at them.
Seeing this, the man in the black robe quickly retreated and dodged, but the Merman patriarch didn't react in time. He was sent flying with a scream, struck by the tail.
The Mosasaurus intended to pursue further, but at the next moment, it seemed to be restrained, unable to move too far from the Sea God's City.
Therefore, it raised its head, surfaced, and uttered a human-understandable voice: "Listen, everyone, I am the guardian of the Sea God's City. No one is allowed to set foot in the Sea God's City, or they will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone was astonished to hear the Mosasaurus speak.
The fact that the Mosasaurus could speak human language suggested it had long surpassed ordinary marine life.
After all, with such a terrifying size, over fifty meters, its strength must be considerable.
The man in the black robe frowned, thought for a few seconds, then bit his finger.
Instantly, scarlet blood flowed out. He sprinkled the blood towards the Mosasaurus, saying, "Respected Mosasaurus elder, I am a descendant of the Sea God, and according to the ancestral teachings, I have come to inherit the Sea God's City!"
The Mosasaurus heard this, looked at the few drops of blood, opened its mouth, and sucked the blood in.
The next moment, its eyes widened, and then it spoke, "Indeed, a descendant of the Sea God. Very well, you may enter!"
The man in the black robe was overjoyed and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, elder!"
With that, the man in the black robe immediately flashed towards the Sea God's City.
"A descendant of the Sea God? The previous Sea God left a descendant?" Ye Feng's eyes widened at this.
The next moment, he thought of something and said, "You all wait here, I'll go myself!"
"Okay! Please be careful!" Ariel cautioned.
Ye Feng nodded, then quickly swam towards the direction of the Sea God's City.
Before long, Ye Feng arrived before the terrifying Mosasaurus.
At this time, the Merman powerhouses also saw Ye Feng and were preparing to act.
Especially Boss Huang, who showed a furious expression and exclaimed, "Kid, you dare to follow!"
However, Ye Feng ignored him and headed straight for the Sea God's City.
The Mosasaurus saw this and said, "Stop! Didn't I say that anyone who sets foot in the Sea God's City will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng coldly replied, "Beast, I'll give you three seconds to get out of my way..."
