Chapter 348 The Giant Beast of the Sea

"It's over!"

A profound sense of despair washed over the hearts of many demon kings.

This cannonball was far larger than any before it. Had it been before the initial onslaught, they might have been confident in their ability to withstand it.

However,

Now, bearing severe injuries, how could they possibly resist it?

Even...

The beasts that had long since retreated would have been unable to withstand the impact of this cannonball.

"Flee!"

"Hurry and escape!"

"Head for the coast! As long as we can reach the sea, we still have a sliver of hope!"

Yet, in this moment of desperate despair, a fierce desire for survival erupted from within them.

They ceased all attempts to defend against the missiles, allowing the projectiles to strike them.

Between minor bodily harm and the loss of life, everyone knew which choice to make.

"Now you want to run?"

From his vantage point in the helicopter, the leaders of various nations watched the demon kings' actions with a cold, disdainful smile.

"It's too late."

Gao Xiong said with a relaxed smile, legs crossed, "And what are they thinking?"

"Do they truly believe they will find hope for survival by reaching the sea?"

"Hahahaha!"

At this, the national leaders could no longer contain their laughter, erupting into hearty guffaws.

Gao Xiong was right. These demon kings were all land-dwelling creatures.

Even if they could swim, how long could they stay in the water?

"Roar!"

Struck by the missiles, the demon beasts couldn't help but let out painful roars.

However,

Their choice was not entirely wrong.

As they were hit by the missiles, each of them leaped into the sea.

Splash! Splash!

Countless water droplets scattered as they winced, a look of unspeakable pain on their faces.

Having their wounds washed by seawater was akin to enduring unspeakable torture.

"But at least we escaped."

Enduring the pain, the demon kings surveyed their surroundings, each showing a hint of a smile.

Not only had they escaped, but they had also brought out some of the severely injured demon kings.

Furthermore, as they fled, most of the missiles were directed at them, providing a good escape opportunity for the weaker demon beasts.

At this moment,

Numerous beast heads could be seen bobbing on the sea surface, indicating that most of the demon beasts had indeed escaped.

Boom!

Just then, the colossal missile descended with a deafening roar.

Under the terrified gazes of the demon kings, it struck Mount Taibai with full force.

At this moment!

Flames raged, filling the eyes of every demon king.

The violent aftermath churned the sea surface, creating powerful waves!

As for...

The original appearance of Mount Taibai was completely engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

Witnessing this, the spirits of many demon kings sank.

Although the final outcome was not yet determined, they could all guess what it would be.

Undoubtedly, Mount Taibai!

Would cease to exist!

And at this very moment.

Boom, boom, boom!

Several more explosions echoed through the heavens and the earth!

The demon beasts that had just entered the sea were astonished to see dozens of cannonballs falling from the sky, carrying immense power as they rolled towards them.

"Is this ever going to end!"

Seeing this, the demon kings couldn't help but curse.

As they cursed, they swiftly dived into the depths of the sea, attempting to evade these missiles.

However, at this very moment.

The flames engulfing Mount Taibai suddenly and mysteriously dissipated.

Following this.

Mount Taibai miraculously reappeared, completely unharmed.

This bizarre scene caused the expressions of all present creatures to change subtly.

The only difference was the look of disbelief on the faces of the national leaders.

"How is this possible?"

"Why is Mount Taibai being protected by something?"

"Why wasn't there anything like this before?"

As the leaders of various nations cried out in shock, the demon kings, after a moment of stunned silence, then displayed expressions of intense joy.

Because they noticed a faint, light blue membrane surrounding Mount Taibai, completely blocking the power of the giant missile.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly reached the ears of many demon kings.

Turning their heads, they saw that the missiles that had just been fired were now approaching them.

"Bad!"

The demon kings snapped back to attention abruptly, their faces contorted with fear.

They had been so engrossed in watching Mount Taibai that they had completely forgotten their own perilous situation.

If they were hit by these missiles again, it would merely be adding insult to injury for the demon kings.

They could still manage.

But the weaker demon beasts would surely perish on the spot.

"Hahaha!"

"Since we can't destroy Mount Taibai, let's first eliminate these filthy demon beasts. That's still something to celebrate."

Gao Xiong sneered as he looked at the demon beasts on the sea surface.

Hearing this, the national leaders all nodded in succession, their eyes filled with ferocity.

Even if they couldn't destroy Mount Taibai now, as long as they could eliminate all the demon beasts,

Mount Taibai would become an empty city.

Moreover, the inability to destroy it now did not mean they would never have the chance in the future.

However.

Just as the missiles were about to strike the sea surface, and everyone believed the weaker demon beasts were doomed,

Splash!

The sea surface suddenly churned, and a terrifying aura rapidly spread throughout the area.

Following this.

A colossal beast, of immense size, burst forth from the seabed, its body leaping through the turbulent water.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see the full appearance of this gargantuan creature.

It was truly like a small mountain.

Bang, bang, bang!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it used its own body to block all the incoming missiles.

This was not all.

With a flick of its thick tail, the giant beast suddenly swept towards the armed helicopters hovering in the air.

The force was so immense that it ripped the armed helicopters apart, scattering their components.

Innumerable parts plunged into the water with a splash.

This armed helicopter then also crashed into the seabed.

A large patch of wreckage from the armed helicopters now littered the once clean and pristine sea surface.

And this seemed to be just the beginning.

In the blink of an eye.

The entire sea surface around them began to surge.

One after another, colossal demon beasts emerged from the seabed, using their massive bodies to knock the armed helicopters circling in the air down onto the sea surface.

The demon kings stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them.

At this moment, their minds seemed to have frozen, otherwise, they would have been even more shocked.

Because!

As these behemoths appeared, the sea surface surged and churned.

Yet, they moved as if they were on solid ground, the turbulent waters causing them no disturbance whatsoever.

"What... what are these things!"

"How can there be such terrifying beasts in the seabed!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Quick, get the planes to ascend, absolutely do not let them get shot down again."

...

The eyes of the national leaders twitched, their faces filled with terror.

This group of behemoths had truly left an indelible impression on them.

In just a few seconds of their appearance, they had destroyed several armed helicopters.

And...

The missiles striking their bodies only caused minor abrasions.

...
