Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 867 - 236: Demons and Devils of the Deep Sea! Confused Demons and Devils! _2
As his expression was changing slightly, Huo Zhijin suddenly heard a sailor on his ship cry out in panic, "Master... Master... Master... Master! Over there... over there! There’s an island over there! How can there be an island? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
He recognized the voice; it was an experienced sailor who held a nautical chart in his hands, practically a navigator of their Huo’s sea voyage.
After hearing the sailor’s startled cry, Huo Zhijin turned his head to look in the direction the sailor was looking, and he couldn’t help but inhale sharply, his face full of shock and awe.
In the relatively dim moonlight, one could vaguely see a very strange island right in front of the merchant ship. The island was so small it was questionable whether it could accommodate a village.
But the biggest problem was that in his memory, there were no islands at all on this shipping route! Not to mention islands, even emerging reefs shouldn’t exist!
So, what was the deal with this island? How did it appear here? Could they have strayed from the route? But there were no islands surrounding this route either!
It couldn’t be that they had deviated so dramatically, could it? They had experienced sailors aboard; how could they deviate so ridiculously?
Wait! No! Something was very wrong!
Realizing where the anomaly lay, Huo Zhijin, utterly shocked, said, "Isn’t our ship stationary? Why are we getting closer and closer to that strange island? No... can it be?"
He thought of an incredible possibility, "It’s not that we are approaching that strange island; it’s that the strange island is approaching us!"
"Daoist Fan Wu, there’s an island over there... uh..."
Just as he was about to share his speculation with Daoist Fan Wu next to him, he suddenly realized that Daoist Fan Wu had already been gazing at that strange island. It was as though he had noticed the island much earlier. Seeing such an island, Daoist Fan Wu’s face showed no surprise at all.
Huo Zhijin wasn’t wrong. Fan Wu had indeed noticed earlier that an island was approaching their merchant ship. In the midst of this majestic sea, how could Fan Wu, with his keen senses, fail to notice such a huge object approaching?
"That’s not an island but merely looks like one," said Fan Wu in a voice that echoed over the ship, "More precisely, that is actually a true Sea Beast. These on the deck are just some minor underlings."
"Ah?" Huo Zhijin was taken aback. The dozen monsters on the deck were just minor underlings, and that island was the real Sea Beast?
His pupils suddenly contracted, and even his voice trembled slightly, "Fa... Fan Wu Daoist, you aren’t... you aren’t joking, are you?"
Considering the size of the strange island-like creature compared to the island, it was very small, but compared to their merchant ship, it was a colossal beast! If such a giant beast were a Sea Beast...
Hiss! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Huo Zhijin sharply inhaled, not knowing how many times that had happened today. All he knew was that he had never felt such a profound shock.
"Do you think I, a poor Daoist, would be joking right now?" Fan Wu asked with a smile.
Uh...
Actually, it kind of seems like it...
Huo Zhijin looked up at the unconcerned smile on Fan Wu’s face, truly feeling that Daoist Fan Wu was joking. After all, how could anyone keep such a composed expression while revealing such horrifying news? If that island were really a Sea Beast, then Daoist Fan Wu was being unusually calm!
What he didn’t know was that to Fan Wu, such large monsters were merely Free Attribute Points swimming freely in the sea! There was no trace of worry on Fan Wu’s face, only an excited smile. And he could also see the so-called island’s attribute information.
Such attribute information was not particularly noticeable, but relying on Fan Wu’s extraordinary vision, he could clearly see what seemed like smaller-than-ant-hair text.
["Octopus-like Sea Demon—Life: 21,000—Power: 220—Skills..."]
Such attribute information was blatantly visible to Fan Wu, confirming that the massive figure appearing before them was not some so-called island, but a great Sea Demon!
Although Fan Wu’s voice wasn’t very loud, in the silence where no one dared to make a sound, many sailors heard Fan Wu saying something. And precisely because of this, the crew once again fell into a state of panic.
"Sea... Sea Beast?" An old sailor with graying temples, his face full of terror, exclaimed in shock, "Another Sea Beast has appeared? And such a huge thing, it’s actually... actually a Sea Beast? If it’s a Sea Beast, couldn’t it just open its mouth and swallow our merchant ship?"
