Chapter 736: Manlan Island Full of Venomous Creatures! (3)

Just as everyone was retreating behind the fishing boat, a larger streak of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the sea!

A massive iron-hulled ship, far larger than the fishing boat, struggled through the raging waves towards the same sheltered bay. Upon a closer look, this large vessel was in a shocking state — several gigantic gashes appeared along its side, the bow’s ram was skewed, and the metal railings above the hull were twisted and deformed extensively.

“It’s the Association’s ship!” Zhang Bai squinted to identify the ship’s distinctive blue emblem and exclaimed.

The large ship seemed to have noticed them as well, adjusting its course in the waning storm until it finally ran aground near the shore.

The cabin door opened, and a group of equally bedraggled figures stumbled down the gangway in the pouring rain, the leader being none other than Yao Lu, the Association Consultant Chen Yuan had met at the East District dock.

“Why are they here too?” Zhang Bai asked in astonishment.

Compared to Zhang Bai, who was full of confusion, Li Zhen’s eyes lit up after seeing the severely damaged ship, and he felt a sense of inexplicable balance.

It seems the Association’s people encountered the same fate as him, just as bedraggled, just as miserable.

However, his ship had already sunk to the sea bottom, becoming a lair for Water-type Pet Beasts, while this large ship was merely teetering.

On the island, there was no fierce wind, only a relentless downpour.

The two groups gazed at each other across the curtain of rain. As Yao Lu prepared to approach with Association members to inquire about the situation, an abrupt change occurred.

Two familiar predatory shadows silently appeared beneath the nearby sea waves, using the rain as cover, and lunged at the recently beached large ship!

Looking up, two Furious Sea Sharks burst through the waves, their massive jaws wide open as if ready to crush the large ship into pieces at any moment.

“Get away!”

A sharp shout erupted through the downpour!

Yao Lu’s eyes were as sharp as knives. She stepped forward onto the slippery rocks, and a brilliant summoning array suddenly appeared before her.

“Roar!”

A massive figure crashed into the sea nearby, splashing up sheets of water.

It was a turtle-like Pet Beast that resembled a moving mountain, its thick shell covered with sharp, menacing black bone spurs and ridged protrusions, akin to an inverted mountain of knives.

Its overall form was completely opposite to the Water Spirit Turtle, one of the Three Royal Families of the Donghuang, with a crocodile-like thick neck covered in hard dark green scales, a triangular fierce head, red vertical pupils flashing with ferocity, and serrated jaws that emitted ear-piercing grinding noises with every snap!

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Yao Lu in surprise: “Furious Turtle?”

It was widely known that Water Spirit Turtles were gentle in temperament, one of the most suitable Pet Beasts for novice Beastmasters.

In contrast, the Furious Turtle was aggressive, with an incredibly strong bite, and ordinary Beastmasters couldn’t gain its recognition at all.

However, the Furious Turtle indeed matched the impression Yao Lu gave, as this Beastmaster didn’t seem delicate; she was more like the seemingly calm sea, ready to unleash Torrential Waves when angered.

“Roar…”

Upon seeing the Furious Sea Sharks attacking, Cola was itching to move.

Although these two Furious Sea Sharks were much smaller than those before, at this moment, there were many people present, making it a rare opportunity for Cola to shine.

Chen Yuan’s voice quietly sounded: “Don’t rush.”

These two Furious Sea Sharks were clearly Yao Lu’s prey.

Yao Lu’s eyes gleamed sharply: “Furious Turtle, charge!”

The Furious Turtle let out a muffled roar, its spiked, powerful limbs kicking forcefully off the ground, its massive body lifting a wall of water like a tsunami, rushing fiercely towards the two Furious Sea Sharks.

As it neared the Furious Sea Sharks, its fanged jaws snapped open, and a gigantic, rapidly spinning water sphere instantly formed, explosively bursting forth!

Water Skill, Water Bomb!

One Furious Sea Shark was violently rammed by the Furious Turtle’s charge, its bones cracking and tendons snapping, flipping belly-up and getting knocked away.

The other Furious Sea Shark was directly hit by the terrifyingly powerful Water Bomb, its tough, hulking body appearing fragile in that instant, sent flying and crashing into the sea, raising a towering column of water.

The battle subsided in an instant.

Watching the two Furious Sea Sharks being easily defeated, Cola was instantly dumbfounded.

This wasn’t how the plot usually went!

According to the storyline, these weak Beastmasters were supposed to be no match for fierce Pet Beasts, the master would step up, and Cola would heroically shine, easily vanquishing the foe.

But why was it like this!

Yao Lu slightly panted, the massive form of the Furious Turtle stood in the nearby sea like a moving fortress, its fierce vertical pupils scanning the waters.

The sea roiled, and no sign of the Furious Sea Sharks could be seen.

At this moment, the shore was silent, leaving only the sound of wind, rain, and heavy breathing.

Until Yao Lu strode purposefully towards Chen Yuan and the others.
