601 : Departure

Chapter 601

Departure
Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

On that day, where the sky and ocean met in the distance, there was a large round black spot covering the vast blue expanse of the ocean, and it was unclear when it had arrived. When one got closer, they would be able to see that it was actually a dense group of sharks, stretching unbroken for a thousand meters. Every shark looked fierce and tough, and based on a rough estimate, there were at least ten thousand of them.

These sharks were from the largest active water demon beast clan near the small island. Besides the mutant, the vast majority of them were level six demon beasts. Their teeth were extremely sharp, and if a huge group of them attacked at once, it would be just like a horde of locusts sweeping through. An ordinary small island would most likely be drowned. But this was something that happened quite often in the sea territory, so practitioners also called this phenomenon the beast tide.

At that moment, this group of sharks had the same goal.

Their target was the small island ahead of them. It seemed like something attractive had appeared on the small island, and they all fought to arrive at the island first, moving extremely fast. Not even an hour later, they were less than a thousand meters away from the small island.

Astonishingly, the sharks suddenly stopped.

But then, an enticing, persistent scent abruptly spread out from the center of the small island, and the sharks, which had originally calmed down, started to move restlessly again.

For them, this scent was as enticing as if a human was walking in a desert without food or water but suddenly discovered a green oasis. The diffusion of the scent made it impossible for them to resist, and it was even enough to make them go crazy.

As the scent grew thicker and thicker, a few of the sharks close to the small island couldn’t take it any longer, and they sped quickly towards the small island, eyes crimson, as if they had fought through an invisible restriction.

One after another, they advanced in waves.

However, when they came within fifty meters of the small island, something strange happened. Two sharks that had violently leaped out from the water looked as if they were sliced into numerous bloody meat chunks by an intangible net. Fresh blood stained the surface of the ocean red, and the sharks that smelled the scent of blood grew even more frenzied. The price that they paid was that all of the sharks that were unable to resist ended up being annihilated.

The expanse of sea water became blood water, and the group of sharks in the distance became more and more restless.

After a moment, the scent spread from the small island for the second time. This time, it was even more tempting than the last, and it contained an extremely rich and pure spiritual energy. Just smelling it made them feel as if the cultivation that had stagnated in their bodies would suddenly break through.

One could imagine what kind of situation that would be.

If they could obtain the thing that was emitting this scent, their cultivation bases would definitely be able to grow quite a bit.

Sharks were considered mid-tier demon beasts. Even if one was a mutant, at the most it could only be a high-tier demon beast, but because of mutant demon beasts’ bloodlines, their success rate for breaking into higher levels was fairly high. However, the process to advance was difficult. In the end, mutants were still considered a defiance of the natural order of things, so they couldn’t be too successful.
