Chapter 357 Sea Serpent Attack
Lang Ce usually looked nonchalant and cynical, but at this moment, his expression was extremely serious, and his tone was steady and powerful:
"Don't worry, I'll be fully focused and keep an eye out for any disturbances around me. If anything seems amiss, I'll definitely notice it immediately. Just rest up and get enough rest. That's the most important thing right now."
Xia Yueke nodded gently. Lang Ce's heartwarming comfort made her feel warm in her heart.
Although the doubts in her heart had not completely dissipated, she gradually relaxed her tense nerves under their care. She slowly closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down, and gradually fell into a sweet dream.
The next morning, Xia Yueke got up early at dawn. After a simple breakfast, she and her family went to the beach to check on the situation, carefully arranged by the Hailin clan leader.
At the beach in the early morning, the waves gently hit the shore, making a pleasant sound, and the air is filled with a fresh salty and humid sea breeze, making people feel refreshed.
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and felt refreshed and energetic.
"The environment here is truly breathtaking, and if we could find fresh water, it would be perfect."
Luo Cihe sighed softly as he walked leisurely.
Lang Ce was alert, his eyes were sharp as torches, he kept looking around, and lowered his voice to remind:
"Don't let your guard down. We must be careful. The Crab Tribe may appear warm and friendly on the surface, but their hearts are veiled. No one knows what they are up to behind the scenes."
Xia Yueke nodded in agreement. She slowly squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the beach.
Suddenly, she discovered some very strange footprints. Those footprints did not look like those left by the crab tribe, and were completely different from the footprints of land orcs.
"Come and see, what is this?" Xia Yueke pointed at the footprints on the ground and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Qian Jingyao walked over quickly, bent down, and examined it carefully for a long time. "These footprints look like they were left by some large marine creature, but I can't tell what they are specifically."
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
Xia Yuke looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a group of crabs gathered together, seemingly discussing something enthusiastically.
Full of curiosity, she walked over quickly and found that they were surrounding a huge sea turtle.
The turtle's shell is covered with strange patterns, which show its age. Its eyes show deep fatigue, and it is obvious that it has just experienced a long and arduous journey.
"What's going on?" Xia Yuke asked puzzledly.
Chief Hailin stepped forward and patiently explained, "This is an old friend of our tribe, the Sea Turtle Elder. He just returned from the deep sea and brought back some crucial news."
Xia Yueke's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly asked, "What news? Is it about Tamsui?"
Chief Hailin nodded, his expression becoming unusually serious. "The Turtle Elder said that a freshwater spring was discovered nearby, but it's occupied by a group of ferocious creatures. If we want to get fresh water, we must first get rid of those creatures."
Xia Yueke's eyes showed a hint of heaviness. Although they had finally found the clue to the fresh water, it was obvious that this was destined to be an extremely challenging task that would not be easily accomplished.
"What exactly are those marine creatures? How dangerous are they?" Long Xiaoyu asked calmly and calmly.
Chief Hailin shook his head helplessly:
"We don't know the specifics. The turtle elder only saw them from afar and didn't dare approach. However, it's said that those creatures are extremely large and aggressive. Even us crabs don't dare to provoke them easily."
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and said firmly:
"No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, we must give it a try. This is our only chance right now."
Qian Jingyao nodded vigorously, held Xia Yueke's hand tightly, and said firmly: "Don't worry, we will face it together bravely."
Chief Hailin looked at them, a glint of admiration flashing in his eyes:
"You are indeed very courageous. But don't worry, since I promised you, you don't have to worry about fresh water. Just help us find more food."
Xia Yueke nodded, still feeling strange in her heart, but since the matter of the water was handed over to them, now all she had to do was find this Yuejian Salt Clam and store the water.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.
Xia Yueke quickly turned around and saw a group of land orcs running towards them in a panic, with panic written all over their faces.
"Oh no! A group of giant sea snakes appeared on the beach and are attacking our camp crazily!" A wolf orc shouted loudly while running.
Xia Yueke's heart sank, and she instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. She turned around and said without hesitation:
"Let's go and take a look!"
Everyone immediately ran for the beach. From a distance, they saw several huge sea snakes rampaging and wreaking havoc on the beach.
Their bodies are more than ten meters long and as thick as tree trunks. Their scales sparkle with an icy light under the sunlight, which is chilling.
The sea snake kept spewing deadly venom from its mouth, and the surrounding land orcs were so scared that they covered their heads and ran away, hiding everywhere. The scene was in chaos.
"How come these sea snakes suddenly appeared here?" Luo Cihe frowned and asked in confusion.
The expression on the Hailin clan leader's face instantly turned very ugly, and he said worriedly:
"These sea snakes usually live in deep sea areas and rarely come close to the coast. It seems that the ecological balance in the deep sea area has become seriously unbalanced, and even these snakes have been forced here."
Xia Yueke clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination:
"We must not allow these sea snakes to continue to wreak havoc and act recklessly here. We must find a way to deal with them as soon as possible!"
Qian Jingyao, Lang Ce, Luo Cihe and Long Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, quickly dispersed, assumed fighting stances, and prepared to fight.
The other land orcs also became more alert, ready for battle, and joined the fierce battle without hesitation.
Although sea snakes are huge in size, they are extremely agile and flexible.
Their tails swept across with great force, bringing up a strong gust of wind, sending sand flying all over the sky and blurring people's vision.
Xia Yueke reacted quickly, dodging the fierce attack of a sea snake by turning sideways. He condensed an ice cone with his backhand and stabbed it hard into its scales. However, it only left a shallow mark on it.
