214: First Encounter with the Sea Beast Tide
The next day, under the guidance of an academy teacher, Su Yuan and others boarded a ship heading to Island B-3.
Because the route was currently maintained by the military personnel, everyone on the boat arrived at the edge of the island without any danger.
The sea around the island had already turned red, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Many sea beast carcasses and body parts were still floating on the surface, looking like they had been dead for less than two days.
“It’s quite shocking…” Cheng Mu’s pupils trembled slightly as he murmured in a low voice.
Su Yuan observed for a while and guessed that there were probably no fewer than five hundred sea beasts involved in this attack.
This was still the northern side of the island; the situation on the southern side must have been even more intense. After all, these sea beasts mostly surged in from the south.
As soon as the boat docked and everyone disembarked, they immediately felt an even stronger smell of blood and stench. The whole shoreline had been stained a dark red color by flesh and blood.
Not far from the shore, students were still throwing sea beast carcasses into the water. Otherwise, the shoreline near the sea would have already been filled with sea beast bodies.
Seeing everyone arrive, a team of soldiers came up, leading them to a temporary camp on the island.
After some communication, the Shining Star Level teacher Yu Hui, who led the team to Island B-3, went to the command post in the camp to communicate for a while. He then returned and said to everyone, “This is the camp. Aside from shifts to guard and patrol the shoreline, we usually rest and wait here.
If we encounter a sea beast tide attack, be ready to fight at any time.
So now, the 8th team will go to the western area we’re responsible for…”
“In the southwest direction, there is a group of over 200 sea beasts continuously approaching the island!” Just then, the camp’s broadcast suddenly sounded.
Su Yuan and others immediately looked toward the distant sea.
Sure enough, they saw a mass of dark star beasts approaching Island B-3 from the southwest direction.
Soon, Yu Hui’s detection communication device seemed to receive a message and lit up.
After checking the message, Yu Hui’s expression shifted. He raised his head and said to everyone,
“Teams 11, 28, and 34 head to the southwestern coast to assist in dealing with this batch of invading sea beasts. There’s already a team from Wanzhou Academy stationed there. Team 8 will guard our designated area by the shoreline. The rest stay on standby in the camp!”
At the end, Yu Hui reminded, “Be extra careful; ensure there are no severe casualties!”
Ensure there are no severe casualties, rather than no casualties at all.
It was clear that, in Yu Hui’s view, it was normal for two or three people to die in such operations.
“Yes!”
The captains of the six teams, including Liu Congyun, all felt a shiver in their hearts. They answered in unison and then split into two groups to take action.
By the time the three teams from Demon Capital Academy got close, the large group of sea beasts had already approached within about two kilometers, making them even more visible.
“They’re not fast, but their size… they’re really not small!”
The people from Demon Capital Academy looked at the variously shaped sea beasts, generally over four or five meters long, and whispered among themselves.
The students from Wanzhou Academy were already prepared ahead, with a group of fifty or sixty people standing slightly away from the shore. They had also set up many traps, obviously waiting for the star beasts to come ashore before taking action.
It didn’t take long for the group of sea beasts to rush onto the island.
Except for a few sea beasts, most of them slowed down significantly.
One of the Gold Level students shouted, “Long-range magic, get ready… release!”
Wind Arrows, Ice Cones, Star Power Beams, Saber Light and Saber Energy…
A barrage of skills hit the slowed sea beasts head-on, causing a cacophony of explosions and wails.
Although these sea beasts had thick skins and astonishing constitutions, under this round of skill attacks, even without close combat, thirty or forty of them fell.
And it didn’t stop there. As the sea beasts advanced, one trap after another, set by Wanzhou students, was triggered.
Fiery Flame Burst, Thunder Roar!
In just a moment, another twenty or so sea beasts died on the spot.
Without even touching people, a quarter of the 200-plus sea beasts had already fallen!
However, soon, two gigantic sea beasts, each with a menacing dozen or more flesh spikes on its back, broke away from the herd and charged out quickly!
Su Yuan had a thought and activated his detection communication device with Star Power. Accompanied by slight Star Power fluctuations, he quickly read the information of these two gigantic sea beasts.

“Two Gold Levels, leave them to us!”
From Wanzhou Academy, a man and a woman rushed out immediately to intercept the two Gold Level sea beasts.
Meanwhile, the remaining Wanzhou Academy students also leapt forward to engage the other sea beasts.
“Let’s go help. Try to look out for each other between squads.”
Liu Congyun said and then led everyone forward.
