Chapter 1436 The Concealed Viscera Hunters

translated by xephiz

a huge bunch of blue moths was circling the southernmost area of the shuangdong mountains. not long after, a beautiful woman with moth wings appeared in the sky. she was staring down at the rising seawater…

“trying to pull a sneak attack on us?” yu shishi grinned.

several figures were moving restlessly in the water. their savage eyes were hidden in the water, but yu shishi had seen through their trick right away.

“go, alert the patrol squad!” yu shishi pinched her finger and summoned a speedy moth out of nowhere like a magic trick. the moth had a special glow that was visible from a certain distance away.

a patrol squad showed up soon. the figures in the seawater revealed themselves by coming ashore at almost the same time. the patrol squad had arrived without alerting the intruders.

“it’s the viscera hunters. these creatures are able to move freely on land without affecting their fighting capacity!” the captain of the patrol squad told everyone.

“wait a little longer, let them walk into my shadow trap.”

“my sinister spider trap is ready, too.”

the members of the patrol squad were whispering. it was a lot easier to take out the sea monsters after knowing where they were going to strike.

the moths were spread throughout the vicinity of the shuangdong mountains. the glowing moths were a sign that they had spotted intruders. yu shishi would relay the information to the patrolling squads so they could take out the intruders.

“there are so many of them!” yu shishi looked at the tiny glows in the darkness.

the construction of fanxue new city had been going very smoothly. the shuangdong mountains had stopped the icy tide from reaching the vicinity of the new city when the sea level rose. however, the sea monsters seemed to have great scouting ability. they could even analyze the behavior of humans!

feiniao headquarters city was an important human base in the maritime battlefield of the south china sea. a huge portion of the coastline, consisting of countless cities and villages, was drowned. the people desperately needed a new place to settle, so these detestable sea monsters would try everything to stop the construction of the headquarters city. they had finally carried out their first wave of attacks!

the attacks were quite cunning, since five patrol squads had left for the sea to rescue a ship. if the moths were not on alert at all times, the raid would clearly inflict great losses on fanxue new city…

the residents desperately needed a sense of security. if the viscera hunters managed to break through the line of defense and carry out a massacre in the new city, it would immediately fall to the bottom of the chasm, as no one would be willing to settle in a dangerous place where the sea monsters could invade so easily!

the viscera hunters were extremely cunning, too. it was like they knew killing the mages would not really make any difference. their goal was to disrupt the order along the east coastline and make the situation even more chaotic, since it would give them more opportunities to strike their enemy!

“what’s the situation?” mu ningxue beat her wind wings and landed nimbly on the dam.

“it’s the viscera hunters. the cunning creatures lured five of our squads out to the deep sea. we aren’t really sure about their situation for now. meanwhile, the sea monsters suddenly invaded us when we were short-handed…” lu jiang, who was in charge of the dam’s defense, informed her.

mu ningxue was shocked after hearing lu jiang’s report.

how were these sea monsters so cunning? it was like they were as intelligent as humans, judging from their approach!

was there an intelligent existence leading the army of sea monsters? it would explain why the sea monsters, who used to be a sheet of loose sand, had become so cunning, and how they knew how to invade strategically.

mu ningxue had dealt with sea monsters on numerous occasions, and could not help but feel that something did not seem right after seeing how the viscera hunters were carrying out their attack.

“no wonder so many cities had fallen. these sea monsters aren’t the same as the ones we’ve dealt with before. something doesn’t seem right at all.”

“it’s such a relief to have the moths keeping an eye out for us. otherwise, a few of the viscera hunters would surely sneak past our defenses while we were short on hands. if there were any casualties, our enemies would spread the news blatantly. it would ruin our new city that we’ve put so much effort into!” lu jiang swore.

“mm, let’s be careful,” mu ningxue let out a relieved sigh when she saw that the patrol squads had kept the situation under control.

she had spent a huge fortune setting up patrol squads recently to guarantee the safety of fanxue new city. it was all thanks to shao yu, who did not stop scouting the ocean, and had recently discovered the viscera hunters were planning to make a move. it was unlikely they could have recruited so many mages if they stuck to their initial plan.

“i wonder how the people that went out to the ocean are doing,” lu jiang said worriedly.

“i’ll check it out,” mu ningxue stomped her foot on the dam, summoning a white gust of wind that circled around her like ribbons. they slowly formed six pairs of elegant wings behind her as she glided down the wall…

mu ningxue soared into the air rapidly after her foot briefly touched the surface of the ocean. she maintained her altitude while flying swiftly into the distance.

the deep sea area…

a lightning bolt descended amid the darkness, blasting a huge spray of blood into the air.

the deck of the ship had already split open. the sea hook black beasts kept boarding the ship from both sides. their wriggling bodies were utterly disgusting to look at.

“look out, that one over there is a viscera hunter!” cao qinqin screamed.

captain tang peng turned around and noticed the creature’s back was a lot different than the rest of the sea hook black beasts. it did not have the same dull expression, but a fierce look in the eyes. even its claws were significantly sharper than the sea hook black beasts’!

tang peng was unable to dodge in time, and its claws left a huge cut on his stomach. the little hooks on the claws even pulled tang peng’s intestines out as blood splattered across the floor!

luckily, tang peng was an experienced fighter. he ignored the tremendous pain from his belly and swiftly ran toward the water curtain that cao qinqin had set up.

tang peng ran into the water curtain, which did not resist him. he was able to jump into it straight away, but the water stopped the viscera hunter that was aiming to take his life. the creature was extremely frustrated as it could not get any closer…

tang peng managed to save himself. his heart was pounding heavily.

they all thought the sea monsters surrounding the ship were only the weak sea hook black beasts. to their surprise, there were quite a few viscera hunters hiding among them. these creatures were trying to keep them here forever, by dragging them to the bottom of the ocean!

“hang in there, we are almost at the intermediate area!”

mo fan glanced at the injured. he was struggling to come up with a better plan.

the seawater was too restricting to him. he was unable to utilize his shadow element, fire element, or even his summoning element. otherwise, there was no way these viscera hunters could have ambushed them. mo fan could only eliminate the sea monsters that were blocking the ship’s way as quickly as possible, and leave the sea monsters that were attacking from the sides and stern to the rest of the team!
