137: Chapter arrives at Sakura, sea monster attacks

"There's no need to fight anymore."

Shadow glanced at Yang Shuo, shook his head, and then looked at the Old Woman in the distance.

From his observation just now, he could feel that the existence of these Serpent People didn't seem to be 007's doing. It was just that their aura was extremely similar to 007's, which made him and Yang Shuo guess incorrectly.

However, he was also sure that these people were not trying to harm 007. Although 007 was currently unconscious, her aura was still slowly rising. It probably wouldn't be long before she broke through to Martial Grandmaster.

"Give this to her. She'll know how to use it. Tell her to contact me when she wakes up."

The Old Woman took the black brick-like object with some confusion. "How do you know the Queen?"

She looked at the two people in front of her, her eyes full of doubt. These two were neither Human Clan nor of the same race as them. Their strength also seemed formidable.

And when she first met the Queen, she was only in the Martial Master Realm Middle Stage. The gap between her and these two was not just a little bit.

Shadow naturally wouldn't give an explanation. "Since you survived the cleansing, just be honest and don't bring trouble upon yourselves."

The Old Woman stared intently at Shadow and Yang Shuo. After a long time, she waved her hand, and the three of them instantly appeared in the sky outside.

Yang Shuo glanced at the village below, which had turned into a black dot, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. "It seems you have quite a few saint relics."

He guessed that the space was also the effect of a saint relic, but since Shadow had spoken, he didn't make a move.

The Old Woman took a deep look at Yang Shuo, but she still didn't say anything. "This old woman will inform the Queen about your matters. Please leave now."

Shadow nodded. A Flying Shadow instantly materialized. He stood on its back and flew away into the distance. Seeing this, Yang Shuo swung his arm and followed.

The Old Woman watched the backs of the two leaving quietly, her eyes complex, wondering what she was thinking.

The next moment, she flashed and appeared in front of the throne. At this moment, two figures approached.

"High Priest, we..."

When Yang Shuo made his move earlier, they also wanted to act, but the An Ying's personal guard and the rest of the Black Shadow Legion that Shadow had materialized controlled them almost in the blink of an eye.

"It's fine. The two of you should hurry and break through to Martial Grandmaster. When the Queen is born, I will also disappear. If there is no Martial Grandmaster to guard then, I fear our Serpent People won't even last until that time."

"High Priest, rest assured, we will not fail you!"

Outside, Yang Shuo and Shadow did not return to Great Xia but flew in another direction.

"Are we going to find Great General Luo Xiu?!"

Yang Shuo said somewhat excitedly. Before they separated, he had spent the most time with Luo Xiu.

Although he was often beaten, Luo Xiu's help to him was real.

Shadow nodded slightly. "Yes, but looking at this direction, Lord Luo Xiu probably isn't in Great Xia or nearby anymore. We need to be careful along the way."

The two had already seen some of the dangers outside Great Xia in this Death Desert. A slight carelessness could very likely mean both of them would perish here.

On the other side, Li Wuji rode a ferocious giant insect to a secluded, uninhabited coast.

"Is this Sakura Country?"

It took him nearly half a month of flying to finally arrive since he set off. It wasn't that he flew slowly; it was entirely because the Blue Star's territory had expanded after the anomaly.

The distance between countries also increased, but even a large country like Great Xia could only move towards the center to avoid being too large and unable to manage everything.

Moreover, Great Xia and Sakura Country were separated by the sea. Along the way, Li Wuji could feel that there was definitely great terror in the sea.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the vast, boundless sea. "When I'm stronger, I must go and see the depths of this ocean."

Before the anomaly, the ocean was the most mysterious existence. New species were discovered every year. Now, after the anomaly, their organisms would be even more complex.

These were exactly what Li Wuji needed, but now he wanted to go and see what the current Sakura Country was like.

Li Wuji's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was outside a small city.

"This Sakura Country being able to survive in this era has some reasons, but what are they resisting?"

The coast here was only a few dozen miles long. Although he saw many demon beasts while traversing, their strength was not only weak but their numbers were also scarce.

However, the level of defense here was clearly not weak, so what they needed to guard against was not demon beasts.

Suddenly, Li Wuji seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to look in the direction he came from.

Just then, a piercing horn sounded from within the city wall, followed by hurried footsteps and the roar of machinery operating.

At the same time, along the coast stretching for thousands of meters, massive creatures the size of elephants surged out of the ocean.

Some looked like crabs, some like lobsters, and others were like seals. They swarmed out like a locust plague and rushed towards here.

"Are these Sea Beasts?"

Sea Beasts, as the name suggests, are mutated from various marine organisms. Their strength seems to be no less than that of demon beasts, and they even have an advantage in numbers.

While Li Wuji was pondering, the foremost Sea Beasts had already entered the attack range of the Sakura Country city.

"Rumble!"

Accompanied by the eruption of fire and steam, the city walls of Sakura Country instantly lit up with dazzling Formation lights, like the brightest stars in the night sky, enveloping the surging Sea Beast horde.

Various attacks and laser cannon turrets on the city wall activated simultaneously. The dense attacks and the light of brilliant cannon fire intertwined into a net of death, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Sea Beasts.

However, these Sea Beasts seemed not to fear such attacks. As one batch fell, another batch continuously surged forward like a tide, pressing closer.

Even some massive Sea Beasts directly withstood the attacks with their bodies, approaching the city wall step by step. Their roars were deafening, as if they wanted to tear this piece of heaven and earth apart.

Seeing this, a look of interest flashed in Li Wuji's eyes. He also wanted to see the methods of these Sakura Country people.

As expected, after these Sea Beasts approached a bit further, several figures flew out. They looked at the Sea Beasts below, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"Shikigami - Flame Hound!"

"Shikigami - Bloodthirsty Princess!"

"Shikigami - Thunder Monkey!"

"Shikigami - Slit-Mouth Woman Demon!"

...

In an instant, figures appeared in front of these people. Some were giant dogs seemingly condensed from lava, some were women in blood-red long dresses carrying a pair of scissors as tall as themselves, and so on.

The moment these beings called Shikigami appeared, they rushed into the Sea Beast horde and in the blink of an eye, they blocked the opponent's unstoppable offensive.

However, the attacks of these Shikigami were ultimately limited, and quite a few Sea Beasts bypassed the obstruction and continued to rush towards the city gate.

Suddenly, waves of white smoke rose outside the city wall. As the white smoke dispersed, thousands of figures completely wrapped up appeared below the city wall at some unknown time.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Wuji's eyes in the distance. "Are these the unique Onmyoji and Ninja of Sakura Country? Interesting."
