Chapter 731: Spark Appears! Saving the Desperate Crowd!

The storm rages, and the colossal waves surge.

“What a damn weather.”

Li Zhen stood on the slippery deck, his body swaying slightly with the fishing boat’s impact from the sea waves, his face drenched by the rain.

Stormy weather is the last thing any seafaring crew wants to encounter.

Especially when he’s on the hunt.

Ahead, the tier-three Furious Sea Shark had been battling with the Wave Fist Water Ape for a long time. The former is a fierce waterborne master adept at water combat, while the latter is a robust amphibious giant ape skilled in fighting.

Once engaged, the two turned this stretch of sea into their battleground, stirring up the torrential waters without a clear winner emerging.

Unlike Zhang Bai’s team, who worked as partners, as the owner of the Combat Club, Li Zhen hired a crew at a cost; they only serve as support.

In every battle, Li Zhen fought solo.

After all, he was not interested in the rewards from this expedition, merely hoping to hone himself through the fierce Furious Sea Sharks.

However, the Furious Sea Shark was powerful; even the Wave Fist Water Ape couldn’t claim victory in a short time.

The two were locked in a long stalemate, until dark clouds rolled, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured.

Despite the Furious Sea Shark showing several ghastly blood marks on its body, the blood acted as a catalyst for its ferocity, making it retaliate more frantically. Its massive tail fin created torrential waves, tossing the boat like a leaf blown by the wind.

At the same moment,

the lightning that previously split the sky once again boomed, and the gusts brewing for a long time unleashed even fiercer rain. The fishing boat, already swaying violently, was thrust onto the wave crest!

The injured Furious Sea Shark suddenly seized this golden opportunity bestowed by nature, a gleam flashed in its murky eyes. It gave up entangling with the Wave Fist Water Ape, swung its massive tail fin, turned, stirred up the sea, and swam straight towards the fishing boat!

The enormous dark silhouette, propelled by massive waves, resembled a black gigantic cannon roaring mightily as it collided with the side of the rocking fishing boat!

Boom!

A terrifying force crushed forth, the fishing boat shook incessantly, with members on board stumbling and barely avoiding falling, clutching the railings tight with fear evident on their faces.

Crack——!!

Suddenly, a shattering sound that chilled the mind broke through the wind and rain and pierced their ears. Amid the crew’s cries of alarm, the Furious Sea Shark opened its massive jaw, glistening terrifyingly with sharp teeth, and bit a huge hole into the boat’s side!

In an instant, icy seawater gushed into the vessel ferociously, as though through a breached dam!

Someone shouted in terror, “We’re taking on water!”

The wind and rain stormed, and the raging seawater battered the ship, losing its final balance under double assault, and swiftly tipped over at a frightening speed, seeming to soon sink into the ocean depths.

Li Zhen’s pupils contracted sharply, rain mingled with salty seawater streaming down his resolute face, he cursed, “Damn it.”

First, he cursed the manufacturer of this vessel under his breath, then frowned deeply as he gazed at the Furious Sea Shark circling near the vessel.

If it weren’t for this sudden storm, the Furious Sea Shark couldn’t have seized such a fine opportunity for a counterattack.

But what’s done is done, brooding is of no use, the urgent task is to think of a solution.

Thunder rumbled, and the winds and rain shook. At the most critical moment, he demonstrated the calmness and decisiveness of a high-level Beastmaster, shouting sharply, “Abandon ship! Get on the lifeboat! Quickly!”

The crew, hearing this, clung to it like the last straw, crawling and rolling towards the small lifeboat already battered by wind and waves as fast as they could on the violently swaying and rapidly sinking deck.

The sinking of the fishing boat was an established fact; only this lifeboat could carry them safely away.

Li Zhen was the last to dash towards the boat’s edge, agilely flipping into the wind-and-rain-shaken lifeboat like a leopard, with the crew pulling him aboard with effort.

With waves surging, this small yellow lifeboat was like a leaf thrown into the vast ocean, instantly swallowed by towering swells!

“Hold on tight!”

“Yue…”

Even the most seasoned fishermen would be flustered and panic-stricken in such a situation, with the boat’s crew crying out, clutching the ropes on the boat tightly.

The sea waves slapped at the lifeboat, and the Furious Sea Shark instantly shifted its target, its glowing-dangerous eyes fixating on the small boat as its massive body, carrying huge waves, crashed forward.

“We must deal with this creature first!”

Li Zhen’s eyes sharpened, fully aware that only by dealing with the Furious Sea Shark could they have a path to survival.

But…the sudden storm had completely turned this maritime area into the domain of the Furious Sea Shark, with the Wave Fist Water Ape unable to do anything for a while.

And unlike the sturdy fishing boat, if the lifeboat is attacked, everyone on it will absolutely face life-threatening danger.

“Damn it, I should never have joined this expedition,”

Li Zhen lamented to himself, but it changed nothing about the current situation; his last hope could only rest on the Wave Fist Water Ape.

On the turbulent sea, the Wave Fist Water Ape sprinted, its thick arms suddenly tightened, gripping the Furious Sea Shark’s massive tail fin tightly.

“Roar!”

The Wave Fist Water Ape’s angry roar tore through wind and rain, it used all its might, swung the shark’s fin violently, and hurled it to a distant point in the sea, causing a towering water column.

But this only temporarily stalled the Furious Sea Shark’s assault.

Before long, the Furious Sea Shark returned with renewed ferocity, this time adjusting its strategy by diving deeply into the ocean, moving silently like an underwater assassin, as the whistling wind, pounding rain, and surging seas cloaked its movements.

“Be careful,”

Li Zhen’s thoughts flashed, issuing a reminder.
