“How far are we from the island?” Mo Fan asked.

“Around three kilometers, you should be able to see it after we leave the mist… there it is!” Mu Bai said, pointing ahead.

The yacht had already passed through the fog. An island covered in oak trees was right ahead. It was a lot closer than the others had thought, mainly because the mist limited their vision.

“Good, lure that thing to the island. I’m going to blast it into pieces!” Mo Fan clenched his fists with glittering eyes.

The sea became restless again. The Cruel Ocean Serpent was on the move. The clear water suddenly became cloudy, and started to shake around them!

Countless red snakes sprang out from the water. They rose into the air and came down like elastic spears.

The snakes were pouring down like rain, crazily dangerous. They could not tell if the Cruel Ocean Serpent had Summoned the snakes, or if they were some kind of magic. The strange red snakes went right through Zhao Manyan’s Water Curtain without any resistance, completely ignoring the magical barrier!

Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded. The Water Curtain was clearly standing there intact, but the red snakes had passed through it instantly. He had never encountered anything like it.

“Plummeting Rays: Sacred Wall!”

Zhao Manyan tossed a ray of light ahead. It exploded after reaching a certain spot, leaving countless octagons scattered in the air. The octagons joined together and formed a wall of shields.

There were crazy numbers of the red snakes, and they were coming from all directions. Zhao Manyan’s golden shield could only form an arc of protection in a specific direction. It could not protect the entire yacht!

Zhao Manyan was using everything he had to protect his yacht. He immediately cast a few more spells, tossing a few more rays of light into the air, forming the same shield around the yacht.

The Light Magic was much more effective. The red snakes melted into a puddle of filth after smashing into the light shields, their remains slowly sliding down the octagons. They seemed to be extremely vulnerable to the Light Magic.

The light shields stopped most of the red snakes from landing on the ship. The yacht continued forward unhindered.

“Nicely done, we are almost at the island. My fists can’t wait any longer!” Mo Fan grinned.

He was going to make it pay for chasing them all the way here!

Mu Bai was steering the boat. He was surprisingly skilled at many things. It was bumpier on the ocean than on land, but Mu Bai was able to steer the ship around and use the waves to speed them up. The ship darted toward the island.

“We’re almost at the bay, be ready…” Mu Bai called out, searching for a suitable spot to dock the yacht.

They were in luck. The side of the island they were approaching was a bay instead of a tall cliff. There was no sign of dangerous reefs nearby, either. The yacht raced toward the bay, borrowing the force of the waves…

However, Mu Bai suddenly noticed a row of bright-colored umbrellas along the beach.

Umbrellas?

Mu Bai was startled. He glanced at the beach and saw a lot of people there, just tiny black dots at this distance. It was difficult to see them.

“Shit, we can’t go to the island!” Mu Bai quickly veered the booat around on the restless water.

“Holy crap, are you seriously drifting with my yacht!?” Zhao Manyan shrieked.

“Mu Bai, what are you doing?” Mo Fan was confused.

How were they supposed to fight the Cruel Ocean Serpent without going onto the island? At this rate, they were all going to be buried at the bottom of the ocean!

“There are people on the island, it’s a vacation island! If we lure the creature there, many people are going to die!” Mu Bai blurted out.

Mo Fan was so focused on the Cruel Ocean Serpent that he had not taken a close look at the island. He took a quick glance at it and noticed the crowd on the beach.

The bay of Fakaerun Island…

A European woman heard some noises from the sea. She took off her sunglasses and stared at the dark sea, and the sky that had suddenly fallen to darkness. A giant serpent rose from the water, its head almost touched the black clouds. Its body was like a massive tower.

The sight gave the lady a great shock. She completely forgot that she was not wearing her bikini top, since she was enjoying a sunbath!

However, the people on the beach had no time to enjoy her stunning body. They were all staring at the ocean with wide eyes.

It was sunny just a moment ago, but the sky had darkened in an instant as the evil serpent rose from the sea. Most ridiculously, a white yacht covered in a golden light was heading right toward the restless water!

“Damn it, how brainless are these people? Why don’t they run!? They always accuse us Chinese of being busybodies, yet these Europeans are the same way! Shouldn’t they be running by now?” Zhao Manyan cursed.

They could not go to the island if the crowd stayed on the beach!

If it was only a Commander-level creature, they were confident of keeping the creature around the bay, but if it was a Ruler-inferior creature, it might sink the whole island if it had the time. They did not dare place these innocent people in danger by luring the creature there!

“What should we do now? We are screwed if we tried to avoid them!” Mo Fan was having a headache.

Why did the island they stumbled into turn out to be a vacation island? Didn’t they know how dangerous the oceans were? Couldn’t they just stay away from the water!?

Mo Fan had difficulty using his magic when he was not on land. Zhao Manyan, Heidi, and Mu Bai could not handle the Ruler-inferior creature on their own!

“Apas, don’t just stand there, think of a plan!” Mo Fan said.

“If you can’t even handle a situation like this, you are not worthy to be my master, humph!” Apas replied coldly.

“…” Mo Fan did not expect to be scorned under such circumstances!
