409: Visitors, clergy

In the guards' view, surging seawater was rapidly approaching from a distance.

The silver-white moonlight was shattered by the waves, mixing in like gleaming sharp blades, launching an attack on the land.

Gu Qinghan thought about his abilities; it seemed all his methods would be unstable under such giant waves.

Except for Deaths Touch, but its main body had to descend into the water, and by then it would be too late.

Fortunately, Gu Qinghan was not alone.

The purpose of him establishing Whale Fall City was to deal with situations that were difficult for him to handle alone.

Wang Yan's figure rushed out from the crowd, followed by various pieces of equipment appearing on him, and finally, that exaggerated stone axe.

"Holy Skill: Earth Tremor!"

He used his strongest move without any hesitation, because at this moment he also saw the rapidly approaching giant waves.

And the figures that were originally on the giant waves had now disappeared from everyone's sight, seemingly having sunk into the water.

All that remained was a roaring wave several hundred meters wide!

But soon, Wang Yan's skill took effect.

A crack rapidly extended from where Wang Yan struck, spreading dozens of meters before quickly branching out to both sides.

Finally, at least a hundred meters of ground became displaced, then tore open a bottomless fissure!

In a few breaths, the roaring seawater passed through here, frantically pouring into this fissure.

But even more seawater crossed this chasm, rushing towards Whale Fall City.

However, Wang Yan's objective had been achieved; he now seemed to be one with the earth, drawing a half-circle with the handle of his stone axe in front of him.

Behind the fissure, stone walls suddenly rose from the ground, like a sudden dam blocking all the roaring floodwaters.

That astonishing giant wave was directly neutralized by Wang Yan's two moves!

"Hmm? Cleric?"

A sound of surprise seemed to rise from the seawater, but it was immediately followed by an interested voice:

"Staying in a place like this is a waste of your abilities, come with me!"

Wang Yan did not speak, but the tightly gripped stone axe indicated his choice.

"Come with me, and I can overlook what happened today. Otherwise, I will destroy this city, leaving you nowhere to go.

After all, by the sea, my advantage is much greater than yours."

The seawater blocked by the stone walls did not spread to the surroundings but gathered together, gradually forming a writhing giant.

And the previous muffled voice slowly emanated from within the water giant's body.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghan immediately dismissed the idea of releasing Deaths Touch.

It seemed the opponent's control over water was terrifying, and releasing Deaths Touch might very well backfire.

But this was not a problem, after all, he had more than one strong person by his side.

He looked back at Piao Jun, who walked over with a face of utter despair.

"I knew it, nothing good ever comes from being with you."

Piao Jun was like an eggplant hit by frost, each step he took was incredibly difficult.

At this moment, the water giant, having received no reply from Wang Yan, seemed to lose patience and threw a water ball several meters in diameter towards Whale Fall City.

"So annoying!"

Piao Jun reached out and grabbed at the air; the rapidly flying water ball was as if grasped by an invisible large hand, unable to move.

Immediately after, the water ball flew diagonally in another direction, landing on an empty patch of ground and seeping into it.

"Another Cleric?"

The water giant suddenly seemed to have discovered some treasure, looking towards Piao Jun.

"Look at your grandma's leg! Haven't you seen a handsome guy before?"

Piao Jun was in a very bad mood; he felt he should have gotten a short break, but now he was still being forced onto the battlefield.

And the capitalist exploiting him stood beside him, smiling as he watched him!

"This city is not simple, is it? Are there still Clerics?"

The water giant suddenly stopped its attack, looking around the crowd very humanly, as if searching for something.

Gu Qinghan at this moment flew a bit further towards that side again and said,

"Can we talk properly now? Otherwise, I can only treat you as an enemy."

The water giant seemed to hesitate for a moment, then a whirlpool appeared on its head.

Immediately after, the previously disappeared figure reappeared, asking Gu Qinghan,

"I apologize for what happened just now.

Because I've recently met many self-important people, talking to them is a complete waste of time.

But you have the capital to converse with me. My name is Jiang Xiaoyu, and I am an Intermediate Cleric."

Subsequently, the water giant beneath his feet gradually descended, returning to that wave, carrying his body to the same height as Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan then clearly saw the man's appearance: his skin was wheat-colored, clearly from frequent sun exposure.

He wore no shirt on his upper body, and on his lower body, he seemed to be wearing coarse linen shorts, typical fisherman attire.

"Were you also a fisherman before?" Gu Qinghan asked.

"Yes, my home was in a fishing village by the sea. Why do you say 'also'?"

"Because this city was built on the foundation of a small fishing village."

Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes visibly brightened.

But he looked at the dense crowd below and said somewhat awkwardly,

"Can you have your people withdraw? This doesn't seem like an environment for a conversation, does it?"

Gu Qinghan looked at him and smiled, asking in return,

"You suddenly appeared at my doorstep in the middle of the night, making arrogant remarks about making us homeless, can you blame me?"

Jiang Xiaoyu scratched his head, suddenly at a loss for words.

However, he quickly bowed to Gu Qinghan and said seriously,

"I'm sorry, this is indeed my fault.

I've been chasing those Dragonkin recently, and the long battles have put me in a very bad mood.

But there's nothing I can do, because those Dragonkin are currently destroying things everywhere, and explaining to everyone takes too much time.

After all, some people don't even know what terrifying existences are in the sea, and they're not even willing to believe in the appearance of Dragonkin."

Gu Qinghan's brows twitched; this person seemed to have a conflict with those Dragonkin.

From the moment they first met, the other party was asking about the whereabouts of the Dragonkin.

"Do you have a grudge against the Dragonkin?" he asked curiously.

"You could say so. Those guys are no longer content to stay in the sea; they've already burned, killed, and plundered several places.

I killed many Dragonkin before, but two days ago I encountered a large group of nearly two hundred Dragonkin and only managed to kill a few dozen despite using all my abilities.

Then, after I recovered, I chased them all the way here."

Jiang Xiaoyu had completely lost his previous aloofness at this point, instead revealing all his information.

As if afraid Gu Qinghan wouldn't believe him, he proactively said,

"I am willing to compensate you double for the trouble and losses I caused you just now.

But I truly didn't mean to; you don't know how terrifying those dragon- changeした Mutated Creatures in the sea are now.

I never intended to actually kill you; I just wanted to scare you. Otherwise, I would have used my Holy Skill."
