408: A strong person who rides the waves
He originally didn't pay attention, but in the next moment, he suddenly woke up.
Whale Fall City is several kilometers from the sea. How could he possibly hear such clear waves from this distance?
Luo Mu and Piao Jun, hidden in the shadows, immediately stood up, their faces cold as they looked in the direction of the sound.
That was... the direction of the sea!
Gu Qinghan gently shifted Chen Yuting's body and gave Meina a look from not far away.
Seeing this, Meina immediately came over quickly and took Chen Yuting.
"Don't wake her. I'll go see what's happening."
Gu Qinghan whispered, gently pulling his hand from Chen Yuting's.
The Crow King did not give a warning, which meant there shouldn't be many enemies, or at least they hadn't been discovered yet.
And for the opponent to create such a large commotion, it definitely couldn't have been accidental.
The opponent was provoking, or intentionally luring him out.
No matter what the opponent's true purpose was, Gu Qinghan would definitely go out and take a look.
Because this was his territory.
A dark shadow quickly descended from the night sky; it was the Crow King's main body.
Gu Qinghan stepped directly onto it, and just as he was about to leave, he saw Piao Jun and Luo Mu also running towards him.
From their appearance, they clearly wanted Gu Qinghan to take them with him.
However, Gu Qinghan shook his head and directly rushed in the direction of the sound.
The opponent's intentions were unclear, but it didn't seem to be malicious. It was better for him to go alone first.
The Crow King flew very fast, and Whale Fall City was not large. Gu Qinghan quickly arrived at the city gate of Whale Fall City facing the sea.
Under the silver-white moonlight, Gu Qinghan could see a wave constantly churning a few hundred meters away.
But strangely, this wave showed no tendency to rush forward, as if it were fixed in place.
Yet, the wave was still constantly surging, and the sound of waves Gu Qinghan heard earlier came from here.
What concerned Gu Qinghan the most was that there was a person on the wave.
This person stood on the wave as steadily as if standing on flat ground, without even the slightest sway.
After Gu Qinghan appeared, the wave beneath this person's feet slowly moved forward, coming towards Gu Qinghan.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qinghan frowned slightly and shouted at the person:
"Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The opponent coming alone certainly wasn't to commit suicide.
And looking at the opponent's terrifying water control ability, Gu Qinghan immediately thought of the Dragonmen Luo Mu and his friends mentioned.
Could this be a strong individual from those Dragonmen coming for revenge?
Under Gu Qinghan's wary gaze, the figure stopped again about a hundred meters away.
He looked at the bloodstains on the ground, then let out a somewhat muffled voice:
"There are bloodstains of those guys. Did you fight?
They didn't kill you? Or have you already cooperated with them?"
His voice held clear skepticism, and Gu Qinghan even felt that if he hesitated at all, the opponent would immediately attack.
However, he also had no worries, and simply stated everything he knew:
"You're probably talking about those Dragonmen, right? They're all dead.
It seems you're not here to avenge them. Won't you introduce yourself?"
But after hearing this, the figure seemed to instantly lose interest in Gu Qinghan and turned to leave.
At this, it was Gu Qinghan's turn to be displeased.
The opponent's strength was undeniable. To create such a large wave so far from the sea, his water control ability was definitely much stronger than those Dragonmen.
But if the opponent left today without explaining anything, what if he returned when Gu Qinghan went out again?
It wasn't that Gu Qinghan feared the strong individuals in Whale Fall City couldn't deal with this guy, but if this terrifying giant wave crashed down, the buildings of Whale Fall City would likely suffer.
Therefore, he had to at least make this guy reveal his identity.
The Extreme Ice Wizard Skeleton instantly appeared, and hundreds of freezing cold currents shot towards the giant wave, instantly freezing it into an ice sculpture.
At this moment, the figure on the wave suddenly turned back, silently looking in Gu Qinghan's direction.
"State your purpose and identity, otherwise you won't be leaving today."
Gu Qinghan was not without temper, and this uninvited guest happened to hit a nerve.
But the person seemed unwilling to say anything more, lightly stepping on the frozen wave.
Immediately, cracks appeared on the ice, followed by jets of water shooting out from within.
The ice sculpture shattered with a roar, and the wave beneath the person's feet suddenly surged, rushing towards the sea.
It seemed he didn't want any interaction with Gu Qinghan and intended to leave directly.
But the more the opponent acted this way, the more Gu Qinghan couldn't let him leave like this.
The power he displayed was already formidable, and this power already posed a threat to Whale Fall City!
"I'll say it again, stop and state your purpose.
Otherwise, only your corpse will be able to return to the sea."
As the words fell, the surging giant wave suddenly stopped, and the figure on it slowly turned his head.
However, he wasn't scared, but issued a warning to Gu Qinghan:
"The situation for humans is already very difficult. I don't want to create any more unnecessary killing.
But if you continue to speak so arrogantly, I still wouldn't mind letting you and the city behind you sink into the sea.
Don't think that just because you can kill those guys, you can speak to me like that. In the sea, they wouldn't even have a chance to attack me."
After saying this, the person turned his head again, riding the giant wave, preparing to leave.
But at this moment, a purple electric light rapidly rose along the seawater, quickly striking towards this person's body.
The figure on the wave clearly felt the threat and immediately jumped to the side.
His body leaped out of the wave, falling towards the seawater.
But just as he was descending, a sea fish condensed from water rushed out of the wave, steadily catching him.
Then, the sea fish flicked its tail, bringing the man back onto the crest of the wave.
The sea fish merged into the seawater, becoming part of the wave again.
And the figure on the wave seemed to have been enraged.
He looked in the direction of Whale Fall City, his gaze passing over Gu Qinghan and falling on a somewhat slender figure:
"You are seeking death, do you understand?"
The muffled sound, like the prelude to a tsunami, carried towards Whale Fall City, enveloped by the sound of the waves.
But the slender figure laughed heartily, showing no sign of tension:
"My older brother told you to stay. Didn't you hear him?"
The atmosphere suddenly solidified. A few seconds later, all the strong individuals who had come out of Whale Fall City heard the rushing sound of the sea.
A guard climbed onto the watchtower, looked towards the sea, and then suddenly stammered:
"A... a tsunami is coming!"
