Chapter 525: Chapter 536: Merfolk Race!

As the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet swiftly retreated, the ocean surface showed no trace other than patches of blood sinking into the sea.

The mottled octopus had been devoured completely.

Reaching out to take a seventh-grade Crystal Core from the hand of a Flying Corpse Puppet, Lu Chuan was very satisfied with the energy-rich core resting in his palm.

Then, under Little Qiqi’s guidance, Lu Chuan controlled the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet to return to position and delve deeper into the sea.

Time flickered by, and a few hours had passed by evening.

As they ventured deeper into the sea, the storm waves grew increasingly larger, with natural waves sometimes surging up to a terrifying height of ten-plus meters.

Several high-grade Corpse Puppets riding the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets were unable to maintain their balance and were directly swept down by the waves, plunging into the sea.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan promptly dispatched the flying squad for rescue, to immediately retrieve anyone who fell into the water.

Ultimately, the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet’s size was too small. Despite being able to navigate through the tempestuous sea, keeping the shell stable was difficult.

The Mutated Giant Turtle, however, was different. Having broken through to the seventh grade, its enormous size and shell were like a small mountain, ensuring stability for Lu Chuan and the other two even in these sea conditions.

Moreover, the Mutated Giant Turtle was originally positioned internally, surrounded by a plethora of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets to weaken the waves’ force, diminishing it by about fifty percent by the time it reached the Turtle, rendering it harmless.

“Woo woo woo～～”

On the back of the Mutated Giant Turtle, Lu Chuan and his companions were vigilantly observing the surroundings when a varied and peculiar sound started resounding from the sea surface far away.

The three of them immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Booming~

In the distance, the sea surface abruptly rose with towering giant waves, as if the crest could touch the dim sky, creating a mighty commotion.

Simultaneously, this wave, approximately twenty meters high, advanced rapidly over the sea toward Lu Chuan and the others.

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows at the towering crest; if it were to crash, it might overwhelm all the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, which were, at their strongest, only sixth grade, too puny compared to the tide.

Thinking quickly, Lu Chuan commanded the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets carrying high-grade Corpse Puppets to fall back to the end of the line, while the rest, he decided, would press forward with the Mutated Giant Turtle.

“Qiqi, pass orders to the Mutated Giant Turtle, have it lead the charge at the front, ensure the destruction of the incoming waves!” Lu Chuan said, turning to Ji Ruxue.

“Alright!” Ji Ruxue promptly issued orders to the Mutated Giant Turtle.

Receiving the command, the Mutated Giant Turtle transformed into a spearhead, leading the remaining Sea Beast Corpse Puppets in an ever-expanding formation, prepared to smash the massive incoming waves.

Finally, Lu Chuan and his companions understood exactly what was causing the monstrous waves.

A swarm of Sea Beasts evolved from marlins was chaotically surging amidst the waves.

These marlins, uncountable in number, were mostly ten meters in length, with a pointed frontal spike, slicing swiftly through the ocean with their sharp fins.

At this moment, the mutated marlins astonishingly relied solely on their physical prowess and collaboration to achieve the miracle of creating such waves.

“Roar～”

Confronting the incoming surge and marlins, the resolute Mutated Giant Turtle let out a roar, charging forward with boundless water flow and fearless momentum.

Boom~

Instantly, it felt as if the heavens and earth shattered, with the ocean violently trembling and deafening sounds echoing as the colossal wave stirred by the marlin swarm was rendered vulnerable despite its initial twenty-meter height.

Originally surging waves shattered, flinging countless mutated marlins that were engulfed within, scattering them everywhere.

The weaker marlins crumbled under the pressure within the waves, becoming a bloody pulp, which rapidly dispersed with the shattered ocean currents.

On the Turtle’s back, Lu Chuan and his companions witnessed the transformation from tumultuous waves to sudden disintegration, maintaining calm expressions.

“Woo woo woo～”

The surviving marlins in the extreme collision let out sharp cries.

Shortly after, regrouping, the dark shadow of marlins advanced toward the Mutated Giant Turtle again!

“Rumble～”

The Mutated Giant Turtle, furious at these audacious weaklings, let out an ear-splitting roar, slamming its huge turtle paw down onto the sea surface.

Boom～

In an instant, a water column with hundreds of meters in diameter shot up into the sky, lifting many of the swiftly swimming marlins.

Next, the flows within the column transformed into strands slicing the marlins inside into minced flesh.

In mere seconds, the towering water column was permeated with concentrated blood color that quickly spread, dyeing it light red.

Soon after, the remnant few marlins left were eliminated by the encircling Sea Beast Corpse Puppets.

Thus, the entire marlin swarm was wiped out, with the Crystal Cores collected by Lu Chuan, apart from a few believed lost to the seafloor.

“Let’s continue! These Sea Beasts seem endless!”

Concluding a battle, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly and called upon Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin to prepare to maneuver the entire team forward.

“Wait, Lu Chuan, there seems to be more movement ahead!”

Suddenly, Zhao Lin beside him said gravely, pulling Lu Chuan to point toward the sea surface.

Following Zhao Lin’s indication, Lu Chuan saw humanoid creatures riding Mutated Giant Sharks, commanding currents, rushing at extreme speed.

“Father, they are one of the Otherworld’s Sea Race, the Merfolk. They are born with Power of Water Manipulation and can command sea beasts in battle, esteemed children of the ocean.

However, this alien race is innately brutal, hunting all visible creatures, coordinating among themselves, proving to be extremely troublesome.”

Beside him, Ji Ruxue quickly explained seeing the Merfolk Race.

“Alright, leave it to me!”

Gazing at the approaching Merfolk Race army nearing the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet’s defensive perimeter, Lu Chuan nodded, immediately directing a large number of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets to charge.

Booming~

At once, the two sides collided fiercely, erupting in an extremely intense battle, turning the sea surface into chaos.
