“It’s not just King Kong Island alone; the sea beasts are showing up in the seas nearby and in different player territories, with their numbers increasing as you head further south.
These sea beasts are coming from the south, and since your position is even farther south than ours, you’ve probably already faced their attacks, haven’t you?”
Sea beast tide on King Kong Island too?
Ji Chen’s expression changed, and he quickly opened the chat channel and forums.
Sure enough, it was already in an uproar up there.
“1 just woke up, and suddenly there are so many sea beasts. Is this some kind of large-scale mission?”
“Large-scale mission? Awesome, now we can have a good grind.”
“What the f*ck do you want to grind? Didn’t you see how ferocious those sea beasts are? A group of sea beasts just swallowed the troops I sent out to scout, and now they’re squatting at the entrance to my territory. I’m asking for help!”
“No, there are too many sea beasts. I just used flying troops to scout outside, and I found that the number of sea beasts in some areas is outrageous, like locusts covering the entire sea…”
It appeared that the main bulk of the sea beast tide had not yet reached north of the Crown of the Ocean. Around King Kong Island, there were only a few scattered groups of sea beasts, and they weren’t in large numbers.
But for other players, this was obviously also a significant challenge and threat.
After reading the players’ comments for a while and gathering enough information from them, Ji Chen replied.
“Today, we’ve suffered an attack from a sea beast tide, and we’re just wrapping up the last part of it.”
I_Love_Black_Stockings seemed to be waiting for his response, and just a few seconds later, sent another message.
“Is it almost resolved, big boss? Ah, 1 was still wondering how to deal with them. These creatures have damaged several of my aquaculture fish farms, causing a huge loss of food.”
“Oh, by the way, do you know how these sea beasts came about?”
Ji Chen didn’t hide anything either.
“It’s probably because an extremely powerful sea beast was born, oppressing a large number of sea beasts to flee, forming a sea beast tide. We just happened to be in their path of escape.”
“I see, that’s why there are suddenly so many of them… But this sea beast tide is really not small. There are at least tens of thousands of them just outside King Kong Island, and their tier and level are not low.”
Tens of thousands?
Ji Chen’s face looked a bit strange.
“The sea beast tide is definitely not just this small. What you’re seeing there are just some scattered sea beasts. The real sea beast tide hasn’t arrived yet.
Just today, I’ve encountered attacks from two waves of sea beast tides here. The number of sea beasts directly assaulting the New Moon Islands alone exceeds 550,000, and this is just a part of it. The first and second waves combined have millions of sea beasts, and it’s possible that there could be a third, fourth, or even fifth wave in the future.
You need to tell King Kong Island and other players in the Western Mid-Ocean to be prepared. Otherwise, the consequences will be extremely severe.”
Far away on King Kong Island, I_Love_Black_Stockings, lying on a chair in black stockings, was stunned.
A look of shock appeared in her eyes.
She didn’t read that wrong, did she?
The big boss said there are millions of sea beasts in the sea beast tide, and this is just the number for the first and second waves?
I_Love_Black_Stockings rubbed her eyes with her hand and looked again.
The next moment, her body couldn’t help but shiver.
Millions of sea beasts, what a terrifying force?
Enough to destroy any village and town along the way, devouring any living creature.
Under such circumstances, do King Kong Island and other players have any chance of survival?
But fortunately, what Ji Chen said next eased her anxiety a bit.
“However, these millions of sea beasts are not acting collectively; they are divided into many groups. If you’re lucky, you may only encounter one of them. If you can unite and resist together, self-preservation shouldn’t be a big issue.
I estimate it will take another two or three days for them to arrive where you are.
You need to pay close attention to these sea beast groups. Their intelligence is not much inferior to humans, and they understand various tactics. Don’t underestimate them.
Besides, I think there’s a more profound cause behind this surge of sea creatures, beyond simply the emergence of powerful sea beasts.”
“We will definitely be on high alert, and I’ll pass this message on to other players shortly!”
I_Love_Black_Stockings quickly replied, and her face showed a hint of bitterness when she read the last sentence.
This sea beast tide, which was so terrifying that they might not even be able to withstand it, had them contemplating deeper into the underlying causes.
But she noticed what Ji Chen said earlier – “The number of sea beasts directly assaulting the New Moon Islands alone exceeds 550,000” and “Now, we’re just wrapping up the last part of it.”
It was not hard to imagine why the big boss could speak like that; it just meant that he had basically resolved the sea beasts’ attack.
550,000.
I_Love_Black_Stockings couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of such a horrifying number of sea beasts.
How were they dealt with? Had the big boss’ strength reached such an absurd level?
Soon after, I_Love_Black_Stockings informed many players about the impending sea beast tide and warned them to be vigilant.
At first, most players didn’t believe it, but when they heard that the message came from the Islanders, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Many players finally started to take this matter seriously, reinforcing their territory defenses, recruiting troops, and actively contacting nearby players to resist the sea beasts.
However, a small group of players held a pessimistic attitude. They believed that millions of sea beasts were an unbeatable force, even if it was just one of the groups with hundreds of thousands. They didn’t think they could contend with it.
So, they began packing up their belongings, abandoning their territories, and planning to take boats to the mainland to seek refuge with indigenous forces and countries. After all, no matter how formidable the sea beasts were, they couldn’t go ashore to attack them.
Watching the commotion in the chat channel, Ji Chen had a vague feeling that a sea beast upheaval would sweep across the entire Western Mid-Ocean, causing profound consequences.
After closing the chat channel and forums, Ji Chen looked back at the battlefield. At this point, most of the remaining sea beasts had been cleared out. These stubborn sea beasts were mostly low-tier creatures, so they had little resistance against the Crown of the Ocean. They were easily eliminated as if slicing through melons and chopping vegetables.
Two to three hours later.
The system finally issued a notification sound.
“Ding- After a difficult struggle, your army successfully resisted and defeated large groups of sea beasts… Your level has increased (IV40—44).”
“Your heroes: Alice, Herald, Benbo… Level up…”
“Your units: Naga Guardians, Dragon Blood Murlocs, Dragonfin Catfish… Level up…”
Killing over three hundred and fifty thousand sea beasts brought them terrifying amounts of experience. Ji Chen’s level increased by 4 levels in one go, jumping from level 40 to level 44.
All the hero units benefited greatly. Alice reached level 44, Herald reached level 40, Benbo reached level 44…
The average level of units also saw a significant increase, with most of them gaining 4 to 5 levels compared to their original levels.
Units like the Dragonfin Catfish, which were recruited at level 1, skyrocketed to level 22, which was a terrifying boost.
In this way, this sea beast tide turned out to be a great opportunity for experience and leveling up. They might even be able to raise their levels to 50 during this sea beast chaos.
A large number of sea beast corpses remained on the surface of the sea, looking as densely packed and eerie as ant corpses submerged in water when viewed from the cliff.
In the relatively calm Stormy Sea, over three hundred and fifty thousand sea beasts had met their demise, and these corpses were a massive source of meat.
Therefore, as soon as the battle ended, Wilus led many residents, guardian legions, and lizardmen warriors to start harvesting the bodies and transporting them back to the island for processing and storage in temporary cold storage.
According to his estimate, they could recover around one hundred and fifty thousand bodies before they began to rot. This could be translated into nearly forty million units of meat, enough to sustain the Crown of the Ocean for several months without any food imports..
