Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Water Monkey Attack

The azure waves shimmered, the waters rolled, and the densely packed sea beasts suddenly began to move, splitting a wide path amidst them.

Zhong Lin watched this scene unfold and simultaneously understood the strength of the Sea Clan.

Never mind other things; just being able to control sea beasts is enough to shock anyone.

The ocean is so vast that no one knows how many sea beasts are hidden within it or how strong they truly are.

A tribe capable of controlling sea beasts and using them as part of their combat power is fortunate to live in the sea because, even if they come ashore, it can only be for a short time; otherwise, there would be no room for the Luoxing Islands to survive.

The waves parted, and a Water Monkey three meters tall, covered entirely with spiked black hair like steel needles, stepped forward riding the waves.

This Water Monkey was muscular, its eyes slightly dark red, its thick arms thicker than Zhong Lin’s thighs, wielding a steel trident gleaming in the sunlight.

Its head was bald on top, making it look like a kappa from games of yore, giving it an oddly amusing appearance.

Ouyang Daoyong’s voice transmission said, "This person is Yuan Ying, one of the three Commanders of the Sea Ape Clan. Although he is also at the Spirit Embryo Realm cultivation, the Sea Ape Clan’s physical bodies are extremely strong, and few at their level can match them."

Zhong Lin nodded. Compared to humans, sea beasts’ greatest strength lies in their physical bodies. Though the Sea Apes claim to be part of the Sea Clan, they technically belong to the category of sea beasts; thus, their bodies are naturally incredibly strong.

It’s just a question of whether their strength compares to his own fifth level Dragon Elephant Golden Body.

As Gong Xuan saw Yuan Ying emerge, he gently descended from the void.

"Yuan Ying, what exactly is your Sea Ape Clan up to? Why do you invade my Luoxing Islands?" Gong Xuan’s voice was icy.

This wave of sea beast attacks had already destroyed one of the three major ports of Luoxing Island, not to mention the fatalities. The sheer loss of daily revenue alone was enough to deeply hurt them.

Yuan Ying thrust the steel trident into the water, and in an instant, a great explosive sound erupted as violent waters splashed. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Gong Xuan, how dare you, the wicked, file a complaint first? Do you really think I won’t dare wipe out your Luoxing Islands?"

Yuan Ying’s voice was somewhat shrill due to the accent, making it quite piercing, truly resembling the cries of monkeys in the mountains and woods; no wonder they called them Water Monkeys.

The voice was filled with anger, like a volcano on the verge of erupting, with the veins bulging on the arm holding the trident, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Hearing these words, Gong Xuan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What’s going on? How can you say we’re wicked first? My Luoxing Islands have never interfered with your Sea Clan; we’ve only killed some sea beasts in the ocean. You consider them mere beasts without Spiritual Wisdom. How have we ever wronged you?"

In the eyes of the Sea Clan, even their own brother, as long as he lacks Spiritual Wisdom, is just a beast—food, a slave.

This brings us to how Sea Clan members come into being.

There are basically two ways: one is through birth.

If both parents are from the Sea Clan, their children are likely to be born with Spiritual Wisdom, thus naturally becoming Sea Clan members.

However, there are exceptions. Not all offspring of the Sea Clan are born with Spiritual Wisdom. Some, although innately strong, lack Spiritual Wisdom and are thus classified as sea beasts regardless of strength.

They may not necessarily be driven from the tribe, but most become mounts or the like for their intelligent siblings.

The other way is for sea beasts to grow on their own or accidentally awaken Spiritual Wisdom, but this is very rare—almost negligible.

Those with wisdom are called Sea Clan; those without are sea beasts. They’re essentially two species, even acknowledged within the Sea Clan themselves.

Hence, to the Sea Clan, the inhabitants of Luoxing Island hunting sea beasts has little consequence.

Yuan Ying cursed angrily, "Humans are despicable scoundrels, treacherous and dishonorable, ignoring treaties, shameless..."

"Enough, what’s really going on?"

Gong Xuan snorted coldly.

"Don’t pretend here. Yesterday, powerful individuals from your Luoxing Islands intruded into our sacred land, slaughtered many of my kin, and took the ancestral treasure of my Yuan Ying tribe. If there’s no accountability, the island will be slaughtered today." Yuan Ying shouted.

Yuan Ying’s voice was loud, instantly echoing in all directions.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of bewilderment.

Gong Xuan even blurted out, "Impossible."

What he meant by impossible was not that the people of Luoxing Islands could not do such a thing but that they were incapable of doing it.

He was very aware of the strength of the Sea Ape Clan. Not even he could accomplish such a feat.

The Sea Ape Clan’s ancestral land is located in the Hanhai Abyss southwest of Luoxing Island, surrounded by endless sea beasts, with countless sea apes guarding within. Without sufficient strength, breaking in is impossible, not to mention robbing anything from them.

Yet immediately a heavy weight fell in Gong Xuan’s heart, for, based on his understanding of the Sea Ape Clan, if such an event had not occurred, Gong Xuan would never have brought people to slaughter the island.

So...is it true?

The others on the shore also came to this thought at this moment; their faces instantly turned extremely grim while being deeply shocked.

No one expected someone could really break into the Sea Ape Clan’s sacred place, kill, and seize treasures—truly ruthless.

But at the same time, they were also extremely angry at this strong individual for causing the trouble and making them bear the consequences. The key was they had no choice but to fight; otherwise, they’d all face death.

Gong Xuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "There must be a misunderstanding. Luoxing Islands and your Sea Ape Clan have long established a pact, water from different wells does not mix, so it is impossible to commit such acts."

"Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding."

Yuan Ying’s eyes turned blood-red, and white vapor spewed from his mouth. He angrily retorted, "Hand over the person and return our tribe’s treasure, or you’ll all die."

Zhong Lin watched all this with a rising sense of foreboding.

Ouyang Daoyong’s expression also turned extremely serious and he said solemnly, "It seems this matter cannot end peacefully. These Water Monkeys are consumed with fury, and blood will be shed today. Everyone, be careful. During the battle, don’t stray far and be ready to assist anytime."

Sure enough, after a few more exchanges between Gong Xuan and Yuan Ying, when dialogue failed, the fight commenced directly.

Yuan Ying struck first, his steel trident sweeping across, drawing in vast Primordial Qi within a thousand-zhang range, transforming it into a mountain-sized force aimed toward Gong Xuan’s head.

Gong Xuan retaliated without reservation, fury burning in his eyes, launching a punch with his left hand.

Spiritual Origin revolved and instantly became an enormous golden fist of an acre size.

Boom!

The two forces clashed mightily, dissipated with a loud explosion, vanished into nothingness, yet the surrounding void was already twisted by the battle’s aftermath.
