“BOOM——!!!”
A dull roar like underground thunder, mixed with the piercing scream of metal twisting and breaking, suddenly exploded from the direction of the west area of the dock several miles away!
The sound was so loud that it instantly overwhelmed the violent wind and rain outside the window, making the thick oak window frames of the hotel buzz and causing fine dust to fall from the ceiling.
What followed was the roar of hundreds of people suddenly erupting in panic and rage!
Even Mark's team, who were enjoying the delicious food, could faintly hear the shouts of those who were still struggling in the wind.
"Go in! Block them!"
"It's a monster! Those bastards from the Tide Merchants Guild are keeping monsters in the city!"
…
"Don't let them get away! Kill it! Or we'll all die!"
"Are you crazy? Let it go and return it to the Sea God!!"
“Fuck! Who the hell shot that sneak attack?! Ah——!”
…
Shouts of killing, clash of weapons, howling of the dying...
It was like suddenly pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan, causing it to explode violently against the chaotic backdrop of wind and rain!
The little Mu in Monica's arms shrank suddenly, its pink body tensed as if in response to stress, the three-colored light on its body flashed violently, and it emitted a subtle but sharp "Mum" hiss.
The pink eyes stared at the direction of the warehouse at the western dock, as if sensing some kind of aura that made it extremely uneasy.
Anna flashed to the window in an instant, her emerald green eyes as sharp as a hawk, piercing through the dancing rain curtain to look at the source of the chaos.
Enzo threw away the half-eaten crab claw, his greasy hands firmly grasping the handle of the square-headed hammer under the table, his small eyes gleaming with ferocity:
"Damn it! Mark, can you please stop pretending! Everyone's already started! What's the point of killing monsters all day?! I want to fight! These professionals are much easier to kill than the little guys in the Monster Mountain Range!"
Mark put down the soup bowl, the remaining warmth on his fingertips formed a sharp contrast with the cold murderous intent coming from outside the window.
He took a few steps to Anna's side and followed her gaze.
"What are you going to fight? The people from Anchor Bay? Or that thing coming from the sea?"
"Of course, whoever you can beat will be beaten! Anyway, we all have to fight in the end. If we can't win, we can talk about running away!"
It is true that Enzo is warlike, but don't forget that he is inherently cowardly.
He knew that he was no match for the creatures on the sea, but he still had the courage to try and see if he could chisel out some material.
"Wait a little longer, at least until that thing comes ashore!"
Mark's thoughts remained unchanged. The masters of Anchor Bay City hadn't appeared yet. Wouldn't it be like working for them for nothing if he went up now?
Their Mark team is not a savior, but an adventure team that is good at picking up bargains!
At the western edge of the dock, the heavy door of the "Blue Shell" warehouse, which was blessed with protective magic, has now been twisted and deformed, as if it had been torn by a giant beast, leaving a hideous hole.
The wind and rain brought the light from the warehouse out, illuminating the chaotic Shura field in front of the door!
A dozen strong men, soaked to the skin, with muscular bodies and wearing tight sharkskin swimming suits.
Just like a frightened water ghost, he struggled to push a heavy sealed water tank that continuously oozed out cold, salty water vapor onto a flatbed trailer covered with a thick tarpaulin.
The water tank shook violently, and from it came a dull and irritating "bang bang" sound and a strange high-frequency hissing cry that was unique to some creature.
A sticky secretion with a lavender glow was seeping out from the cracks in the water tank, dripping onto the wet ground, emitting an even stronger and more pungent sweet and musky scent that was clearly discernible even in the wind and rain.
In the past, ordinary members of these lower-level chambers of commerce in Anchor Bay City had no idea what the smell was that wafted through the city every month.
Now they finally know that this is the unique smell emitted by the legendary sea monster mirage!
More than forty people from the Haichao Chamber of Commerce stationed at the Blue Shell Warehouse have been killed.
Although the people from the Haichao Chamber of Commerce seemed to be groaning in pain on the ground, it did not appear that anyone had died in the previous conflict.
To the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, these sailors and workers may just be consumables.
But most of them were acquaintances who had been hanging out at the Anchor Bay City docks for many years, and neither side had any intention of killing each other.
On the contrary, the remaining dozen or so elite members of the whaling team are not familiar with the local chamber of commerce in Anchor Bay City.
Moreover, as soon as the two sides met, the people from the whaling team ignored the initial conflict and just packed the young sea mirages and loaded them into the truck, continuing to strictly implement the established plan.
Surrounding them were seventy or eighty local Chamber of Commerce armed forces and dock workers with bloodshot eyes.
The old fishermen's guild leader had his hair and beard standing on end, and his weather-beaten face was distorted by extreme anger and fear.
The harpoon in his hand pointed directly at the water tank. His voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, but it was filled with despair that pierced the rain curtain:
"You lackeys of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce! You are a bunch of heartless lunatics! Look at the good things you have raised!"
His roar was intermittent in the wind and rain, but every word was heartbreaking: "That's the cub of a sea mirage! The adult sea mirage is right outside! You hid it here, are you planning to drag the entire Anchor Bay City into the sea as a snack for it?!
"Put it back! We will let bygones be bygones today!"
“Put it back, and the adult sea mirages will leave the inland sea!
"Let them go! Please leave a way for everyone in this city to live!"
In response, the whaling captain roared like a beast: "Get out of here! It's none of your business to meddle in the affairs of our Haichao Chamber of Commerce! Anyone who stands in our way will die!"
He pulled out a sharp water-dividing spear with barbs, and with a flash of cold light, he fiercely stabbed a dock worker who was blocking the carriage.
He had no intention of killing anyone, he just wanted to scare away these ignorant natives!
At this moment when the situation is tense and a bloody conflict is about to break out!
Something strange happened suddenly!
Several pale rays of light, like fangs from the underworld, shot out without warning from the shadows of the goods piled up near the warehouse door and from the roof of the low shed next to it!
That was a sharp ice cone formed entirely from condensed cold air!
They were silent and their speed was beyond the visual capture of most professionals present. They were precise and cold, carrying the absolute chill of death!
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”
The dull sound of the ice spikes piercing the flesh seemed so insignificant amid the shouts and screams, yet so terrifying!
The old fishermen's guild leader, who was at the front, suddenly stiffened. He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the ice flowers that suddenly blossomed and froze on his chest.
Several of the strongest and loudest members of the local chamber of commerce around him were pierced through the throat and heart by ice spikes at the same moment!
Their movements were frozen in a charging posture, and the anger on their faces was instantly replaced by extreme coldness and confusion.
Without even being able to scream, he fell silently to the muddy ground like a sack with his bones removed, and his blood was frozen by the extreme cold before it could even flow out!
