Chapter 526: Terrifying ocean beast
Little Peng knew how to swim, but who dared to go into the ocean now? That would be asking for death. There were more mutated lifeforms in the ocean than on land, and he would get attacked if he went down.
But that unknown summoning surged in his heart and tempted him. His battle pet, Black Hatred, was the same and even more intense. Even if Little Peng controlled its body, it still squirmed uneasily.
That summoning came from deep in the ocean. Little Peng was unsure how far away it was but didn’t dare to head down.
He was only a three-star evolved, and his battle pet wasn’t overpowered. To enter the ocean at this level was no different from suicide.
But this summoning…
Little Peng felt like this was a chance to get stronger.
He looked at the dark and terrifying ocean and back at Cloud Peak, lit by flames. He bit his teeth and brought Black Hatred back.
He thought about Ye Zhongming. That person seemed nice, and he was strong enough. He wouldn't treat him too badly if he could help him, even if he didn’t gain much.
Little Peng chose to bring his unwilling battle pet back to the city instead of heading alone into the unknown ocean.

After a few large monsters arrived, the ocean beast wave started to attack.
The people in the city knew why these ocean beasts were waiting.
They were not only the commanders; some of them had special abilities. They were also preparing.
The signal for the start came from the center of the city.
Various ocean beasts popped out from a few dozen places. Some were the giant ocean snakes from before; there were ocean conches with thick shells, mutated manatees the size of excavators… They appeared in the city and attacked humans.
More monsters appeared from the holes that they dug!
This signaled the start of the battle as the ocean beasts' attacks struck like a storm. It made everyone feel hard to breathe.
The Dwarf Mermaid was one of the quickest ocean beasts. Although a mermaid was in its name, they weren’t as beautiful as the legends. They were a meter tall and similar to humans but didn’t have feet. The giant fish head had a mouth with sharp teeth. They held bone forks in their hand and charged at the tall wall.
There were many of these mermaids. Looking from above, they looked like dense ants.
Behind them were Intestine Tail Seahorses. They were very small, the size of basketballs, but their bodies were covered in sharp spikes. They used their tail to bounce on the ground to jump a few meters. Their weird heads spat out bubbles, and a stench spread from their mouths.
Apart from the spikes on their bodies, they were able to spit corrosive acid. Cloud Port people were used to calling them Saliva Bugs. They were small, but they were a huge headache.
There were many more Intenstine Tail Seahorses, as many as the mermaids.
Between these two races were many giant ocean beasts moving forward slowly. They were known as City Smasher Beasts. They had blue bodies, no arms. A meatball was beneath its body, and they relied on it to move slowly.
What was terrifying was their giant heads, which they used to smash into the walls. When their slow charge reached a certain speed, their log-like heads would have enormous power, a huge threat to the gate and the walls.
Behind the three races was the most terrifying ocean king race, the Naga race. They had either blue or pink bodies, mermaid tails, and many arms. They held metal weapons, and their strength was recognized by many.
Survivors called them Azure Warriors, which represented their strength. Although there weren’t as many of them as the Dwarf Mermaids, there were at least tens of thousands.
Survivors on the wall saw a spread from the lowest level two-armed naga to the strong six-arm naga. Ye Zhongming was even able to spot an eight-armed naga. Its five-meter tall body gave one a huge pressure.
The more terrifying thing was that the Naga race had ranged warriors. Thousands of them held arrows and lined up. They stopped after a certain distance. After making a weird noise, they pulled their strings and aimed at the wall. In the next seconds, numerous sharp bow arrows made from giant fish bones flew into the sky.
Behind the ranged nagas were hundreds of black mutated beasts lying on the ground. Like octopuses, these fellows climbed up and used their tentacles to grab the human-shaped crab soldiers waiting for them. They tossed, and these ocean beasts were flung forward toward the wall.
The mutated octopuses threw them quickly. When the first batch of a few hundred were about to land on the walls, they were already throwing the third batch.
Beneath the walls, below the Dwarf Mermaids that people thought would be the first to arrive, numerous two-meter-long bugs appeared. They gave off a metallic light and had red patterns on their bodies. They jumped onto the walls. Only then could people see suction cups under their bodies that helped them attach to the walls.
More and more of them appeared—the bugs behind bit the tails of those in front. Head and tails connected, and they lined up on the walls. They then used some ability to swell up.
Only then did the survivors realize that these bugs formed a ladder!
This was not over yet. Tens of thousands of shell beasts arrived. They had ocean beasts in their bodies that they protected with shells. They got close to the walls. No one knew what abilities those beasts had.
The humans were under threat right at the start.
Ye Zhongming had never experienced a beast wave in their last life, and this was the first time he saw such a different attack style.
After being stunned momentarily, he gave the order to attack.
