Mo Fan grinned.
He had seen the creature that knocked the Boiling Sea Ruler flying before!
The first time he saw it… well, he did not actually see it, but it had first appeared in Japan, at the city where they found the wooden clapper.
The creature had been following them since then, and he had only seen its true appearance in Venice!
Along the dam at the bay in Venice, the enormous creature had rushed toward a spot as the whole city was watching and saved Zhao Manyan, who had been in a pinch!
Mo Fan only saw its outline in the dark.
However, Mo Fan knew it was the same creature. That back resembling a tortoise shell was simply too distinct!
“Fly over there,” Mo Fan told Zhang Xiaohou.
“Where to?”
“Onto that creature!” Mo Fan pointed at the third beast.
“Brother Fan, are you mad? It might not be our friend!”
“It’s fine, just fly to it.”
Zhang Xiaohou reluctantly brought Mo Fan over to the third beast. They were finally able to see the man on the beast’s head clearly. His hair was blond, and he was wearing a fancy outfit.
“Why didn’t you ask me to join you on such a thrilling adventure? Do you really think of me as your friend?!” The young man on the creature’s head rose to his feet and waved at Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan.
“Brother Zhao!” Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in surprise.
“Hehe, did I come just in time? Oh, by the way, say hello to the big guy…” Zhao Manyan had a confident smile. “This is Baxia!”
Baxia!
Even though Mo Fan had long known about the creature that Zhao Manyan always described as the thousand-years-old tortoise, and had even seen its astonishing shadow at the bay in Venice, he was still greatly astonished when he saw it at such a close distance!
It was Baxia!
A Totem Beast from the ocean!
Baxia’s size was absolutely insane. The Black Totem Snake would be considered slim compared to it. When it stood in the strait, it was not necessarily inferior to the Number One Disastrous Beast in terms of presence and size.
The Vast Sea Monster that was covered in demon leeches was no longer fooling around, acting like it had been provoked. It finally revealed its body that had been hidden under the water. It also had massive limbs, like pillars soaring into the sky.
However, its limbs were also crawling with demon leeches. They were not just parasites feeding off it, they were more like a layer of clothing attached to the creature. The three advisors were struggling to inflict any serious damage on the Vast Sea Monster mainly because the demon leeches were absorbing most of the damage.
“Brother Zhao, is this Baxia your Totem Beast? It’s so cool!” Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed in excitement.
Baxia had saved the bridge by ramming into the Boiling Sea Ruler. The people on the bridge were now safe.
“Hehe, we should go somewhere else first. I think he’s about to fight those two creatures,” Zhao Manyan said.
“Sure!”
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou did not stay on Baxia’s head. He obviously held a grudge against the two sea monsters. He was already in his battle stance as soon as he saw the two creatures. The Boiling Sea Ruler was also already in an enraged state!
It was unlikely that Baxia had shown up for no reason. Mo Fan was well aware that the Totem Beast was reluctant to take orders from Zhao Manyan.
“Baxia, I’ll leave it to you!” Zhao Manyan sensibly backed away.
Baxia did not even listen to Zhao Manyan, completely focused on the fight. He had the innate imperious demeanor of a Totem Beast. His Aura rivaled both of the Ruler-level sea monsters, even though it was one against two!
—
“Old Zhao, what’s going on?” Mo Fan turned around to take a clear look at Baxia.
Even though they had gathered many powerful Mages at the strait, they had still struggled and failed to hold the two disastrous sea monsters back. As expected of Baxia, he was merely standing in the strait to defend Jimei Bridge like it was the entrance to his home, yet it had dramatically reduced their fear of the sea monsters!
Baxia’s back was actually a carapace, similar to a tortoise’s shell. Mo Fan finally realized what Zhao Manyan’s wooden clapper resembled.
They had found it in a temple, so they had subconsciously assumed it to be a wooden clapper. However, if they took a closer look at it, they discovered that it was carved to resemble the Black Tortoise’s Shell. The lines on it were the lines on its shell!
Baxia and the Black Totem Snake were brothers, but for some reason, Mo Fan had a feeling that Baxia had been around for a longer time. Even its demeanor of a Totem Beast was a lot stronger!
“Baxia and the two sea monsters are arch-enemies. They mainly reside in the region between Japan’s sea and the East China Sea. Baxia has stayed close to Xiamen for around two hundred years. He noticed the sea monsters were heading toward Xiamen, so he came to the East China Sea and picked me up from the Magic City. As he thought, the two sea monsters are stirring up trouble here…” Zhao Manyan explained.
“They are arch-enemies?” Mo Fan was surprised.
“Mm… I was also shocked when Baxia showed up in the Magic City. I’m well aware of his level, and there are only a few creatures that can match his strength. He told me his arch-enemies were in Xiamen, and I also heard the two of you were saving the city, so I immediately asked him to bring me here… to retrieve your dead bodies,” Zhao Manyan said.
“It’s true that we almost died,” Mo Fan said with some lingering fear.
He was still too reckless, and the Demon Element was not available. He could have died very easily trying to outsmart Ruler-level creatures of their level!
“Mm, we really lack information about the sea monsters,” Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
Normally, if it was the demon creatures on the land, a Ruler-level creature would be leading a horde, so people simply assumed the Number One Disastrous Beast was already the strongest sea monster leading the invasion. To their surprise, there was a second Ruler-level creature with it!
Luckily, the third creature was Baxia. If it was a sea monster, the coastline would have been overrun by now.
“Those two are called the Disastrous Duo. The bigger one is called Qiu Chi. Whenever it shows up, there will be a huge downpour for days. It can also manipulate the tide. It’s a blessing to many species of sea monsters, but a disaster for our land.
“The smaller one is Qiu Zi. It lives in the undersea volcanoes and will follow its big brother Qiu Chi around in certain seasons. It can use its body temperature to create strong pressure differentials.
“When the two of them are together, they can bring a super tropical storm to anywhere, and Xiamen is their current target!”
