After all, the flesh and blood of those sea monsters contain the energy they need.
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but glance back. Looking at it this way, it really was such a waste...
Although the ferocious appearance of the sea monsters frightened him somewhat, the boy couldn't help but feel a little regretful at the thought of so much food dying in vain on this vast ocean.

You see, it was incredibly difficult for him and his mother-in-law to find food in the mountains. Those mindless magical beasts were chasing after the spirit beasts instead of coming to find them.
The sea monsters' obstinacy was like a farcical suicide, but Lin Qian and the others on the mountain were unaware of it.
They appeared halfway down the mountain. People don't go down the mountain for no reason, but these two strange people came down the mountain on their own, otherwise they would have reached the barrier long ago.
In the darkness, two slender figures walked quickly, one after the other, through the gaps in the rocks.
Once back on the hillside, the woman slowed her pace.
The boy paused, and his steps became unsteady. The two of them moved silently, like leaves floating in the wind.
"Fei, it's my turn to rest." A bearded foreign man patted his companion beside him; they were clearly taking turns keeping watch.
The white man, who had been woken up, opened his eyes and nodded, but his gaze instantly shifted from confusion to clarity.
Having lived in a world undergoing drastic changes for nearly a year, not only these superhumans but also ordinary human groups have developed such a high level of vigilance. These abilities, which once seemed difficult to cultivate, are now just basic abilities in the face of life and death.
However, just as the bearded man closed his eyes, the white man named Fei stared in surprise for a moment, then closed his eyes again.
A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the darkness for a moment, revealing the cool face of the young woman and the boy's innocent face.
At their feet lay the corpses of two Level 2 ability users leaning against the rocks—Big Beard and Faye.
"Grandma...do we really have to do this?" The boy looked down at the two lifeless bodies, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
He doesn't understand women's actions, nor can he comprehend them.
The young woman waved her hand, and a vine slid down from under her green robe, with a trace of blood visible at the end.
“Ah Yang, if you’re scared, just close your eyes. Grandma is quick; they won’t feel any pain.”
Seeing the blood slowly flowing from beneath the two men, the boy shrugged and nodded hesitantly.
The woman smiled contentedly, her young and gentle face radiating affection. She gently patted the boy's head with her fair hand, as if an elder were comforting a younger person.
The storm at sea continued to roar, and among the rocks, powerful figures roamed the darkness like ghosts, silently reaping the lives of human superhumans.
As dawn broke, the barrier began to ripple with unusual movement.
Almost all living beings sensed this fluctuation, and countless eyes were fixed on the barrier, waiting for the moment it would open.
Lin Qian yawned and slowly stood up.
After finishing their tasks, we took turns keeping watch and got a good rest. We weren't actually sleepy, but it was genuinely a bit boring waiting there for a whole day and night.
Afu looked at the transparent barrier rippling with waves, a hint of longing in its eyes. It had given up such an opportunity before, but this time, it would finally know what this calling felt like.
Two figures draped in dark green cloaks arrived just in front of the barrier. The woman's green eyes swept around, and when she saw Sophie and the others, she narrowed her eyes.
"Auntie, it's Afu and Brother Amo!" Just as she was about to take a step, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her.
The woman followed the boy's hand and saw a person and a dog at the very front of the barrier.
The green eyes blinked, a glimmer of light appearing and then disappearing in an instant.
"Call her 'Grandma'."
The cold words served as a reminder to the boy and to her as well.
The boy froze for a moment, and slowly loosened his grip on the cloak he had been holding in excitement.
The woman abandoned her plan to hunt Sophie and the others. Instead, she turned around, grabbed the boy's wrist, and walked behind a huge seal, obscuring their figures.
The boy pursed his lips, unable to resist peeking at Amo and Afu, but was immediately pulled back.
Seeing the woman's warning look, Lin Yang lowered his head. When he saw his pale wrist, which had been gripped so tightly that it had turned white, he lowered his head even further.
Even if he went there, what difference would it make...? Even if Amo were here, would he definitely be able to find out about his brother's situation? He didn't know the answer, and he didn't dare to think about it.
After entering the secret realm, they were separated, and it was unclear whether Amo and his brother would be able to meet again.
After waking up, he stayed with his mother-in-law. When the snow-capped mountain disappeared, he and his mother-in-law searched for it for a long time and waited for a long time.
However, not a single trace could be found.
If my brother were still alive, how could he have left no trace? How could he not wait for me?
If they died in the secret realm, they would surely have disappeared along with the snow-capped mountains... Just like the other villagers who went up the mountain with them, he and his mother-in-law couldn't find any of their bodies.
The sea seal, which was being used as a windbreak, was intently watching the barrier when it couldn't help but turn around and glance at the two bipedal creatures leaning against it.
However, when it met two pairs of bright green eyes, it instantly cowered.
It instinctively tried to move away, but its tail was tied up by a willow branch.
