"Watch out!" Xiao Feng shouted in a low voice, "Something's strange!"
Before he finished speaking, the malevolent aura suddenly transformed into wisps of black mist, which condensed into squads of shrimp soldiers and crab generals of various shapes.
These monsters were over ten feet tall, covered in hard shells, wielding huge pincers and crab claws, and emitting terrifying roars.
"What the hell is this?!" Sima Yan exclaimed, his face turning deathly pale.
Zhao Yuwei was also startled by this sudden turn of events. She quickly drew a short sword from her waist.
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes as he swiftly drew his sword.
"Everyone be careful, these things are hostile!" Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "But don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Facing the densely packed, surging hordes of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Xiao Feng's expression remained cold and stern.
"These sea monster scum dare to block my way?"
Xiao Feng sneered inwardly, not taking the enemy in front of him seriously at all.
His hands moved swiftly, his ten fingers deftly changing hand seals.
"Water Curtain Sky Splendor!"
As Xiao Feng shouted, the originally calm seawater around them instantly boiled.
Countless water droplets rose out of thin air, condensing into crystal-clear water curtains in the air.
These water curtains, refracted by the sunlight, radiate a dazzling array of colors, a breathtaking sight.
However, beneath this beautiful facade lies a deadly trap.
In the blink of an eye, these water curtains began to rapidly transform, turning into countless incredibly sharp rain arrows.
The rain arrows were long and sharp, with seawater flowing down their shafts, gleaming with a cold light.
Xiao Feng's gaze was like lightning, locking onto the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and he suddenly waved his hand.
"Go!" With Xiao Feng's command, the rain arrows, accompanied by whistling winds, shot towards the shrimp soldiers and crab generals with overwhelming force.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were still immersed in the frenzy of the attack and had no idea of this sudden attack.
The shrimp soldiers waved their pincers, trying to defend themselves, but the impact of the rain of arrows was too strong, severing their pincers.
The crabs tried to withstand the rain of arrows by relying on their hard shells, but the arrows easily pierced through their shells, leaving their bodies riddled with holes in an instant.
"Pfft! Pfft!" The sound of rain arrows piercing through the bodies of shrimp soldiers and crab generals was incessant.
The beach was filled with the piercing screams of the sea creatures, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
However, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals could not prevent their bodies from turning into ashes and dissipating in the sea breeze as they were pierced by the rain arrows.
In the blink of an eye, the horde of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were killed by Xiao Feng in one move.
The beach returned to calm, with only the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Sima Yan looked at the results before him with a smile, then turned to Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei and asked, "Would you like some?"
Zhao Yuwei rolled her eyes at him and teased, "Once things are done, we'll definitely have to eat something, and with some good wine."
The three exchanged a smile, temporarily forgetting the tense atmosphere. Xiao Feng said calmly, "Let's not worry about eating and drinking for now; we still have important business to attend to."
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, a deafening roar suddenly came from the East China Sea.
The sound was like a great bell resounding between heaven and earth, making the three people's eardrums buzz and their chests resonate.
Xiao Feng instinctively covered his ears, and Sima Yan and Zhao Yuwei also involuntarily frowned, their faces full of discomfort.
Immediately afterwards, a huge crack appeared at the bottom of the water.
The crack, like the mouth of a ferocious beast, rapidly widened.
The seawater seemed to be drawn by a powerful force, surging wildly from the crack and forming a huge whirlpool.
The seawater at the center of the whirlpool spun rapidly, whipping up waves several meters high, while the surrounding waves also became turbulent, crashing against the shore wave after wave.
The once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.
Layers upon layers of inky black clouds seemed poised to swallow the entire world.
An eerie purple light flickered in the clouds.
Lightning streaked through the clouds, illuminating the entire sea surface, followed by a deafening clap of thunder. The whole scene was spectacular and awe-inspiring, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
His heart was racing, and his blood felt like it was boiling.
"Finally, this moment has come!" Xiao Feng shouted inwardly, his face revealing an uncontrollable joy.
"On the night of the full moon, the gates to the East China Sea have opened. Let's go in quickly!" Xiao Feng shouted.
Without thinking twice, he unleashed all his divine power upon the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The divine power transformed into a dazzling light, repelling the shrimp soldiers and crab generals and clearing a path for them.
Taking advantage of the moment when the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were defeated and caught their breath, Xiao Feng led Sima Yan and Zhao Yuwei towards the gate of the East China Sea.
As soon as the three of them stepped onto the shore of the East China Sea, the sea behind them seemed to come alive, quickly closing in and restoring calm to its surface.
Xiao Feng looked back and saw only rippling blue waves, the sea and sky blending into one, with no trace of the raging waves from before.
"This sea is really good at creating drama!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but complain, "It was a stormy sea just now, and now it's turned into a beautiful, refreshing landscape painting."
Zhao Yuwei rolled her eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and get to the Crystal Palace."
The three walked towards the Crystal Dragon Palace, but when they arrived, the sight before them took them by surprise.
Xiao Feng's eyes widened, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Zhao Yuwei gasped, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
Sima Yan looked completely bewildered, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
The once magnificent Crystal Palace is now dilapidated, with cracks covering its walls and exquisite crystal ornaments scattered all over the ground.
The ground was littered with the corpses of many shrimp soldiers and crab generals, some mutilated and others already rotting, emitting a pungent odor, a truly gruesome scene.
"My goodness, what has happened? Is this an underwater version of the apocalypse?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but complain, but a wave of nausea washed over him.
The stench emanating from the rotting corpses made him want to vomit, and his stomach churned.
Despite her discomfort, Zhao Yuwei whispered, "Be careful, there might still be danger here."
Sima Yan looked grave: "This scene doesn't look like a normal situation at all."
Suddenly, Xiao Feng felt something gripping one of his feet tightly. He looked down and almost jumped up.
A small, green turtle was gripping his ankle tightly, its big, round eyes filled with anxiety.
"What the hell?" Xiao Feng exclaimed, nearly kicking the turtle away.
The tortoise wasn't large, but its eyes showed anxiety. Its limbs were constantly flailing, as if trying to convey some message. This sudden situation stunned Xiao Feng and the others.
