“Councilman Zhuang, the sea level is falling,” a Battlemage circling up in the sky reported.
“The tide is falling?”
“The sea level has only risen for so many years. When has the tide ever fallen?”
The tide was indeed falling back slowly. The dark red seawater that had destroyed Zhuang City had disappeared with it.
The land that had been drowned by the water was gradually exposed. It was covered in sand and filth. Trash had piled up on the downhills and slopes.
Late at night, the falling tide had revealed a huge strip of land leading to the east. The people were able to see the New Pudong once again.
The seawaters had continuously taken up more human territory. Who would have thought the tide would fall rapidly one day, like it was not going to return again? The people could no longer see any water in the areas that had once been a part of the ocean.
It felt like the seawater had been drawn away. Not only did it give the drowned areas back, it even gave them extra space!
The sand, seaweed, rocks, and dead bodies that were still decomposing for a hundred square kilometers of the seabed were now visible.
The Shoreline Alliance soon assembled a few teams and sent them out to explore the dried land and find out the reason behind the falling tide.
The Tribe of Sea Gods had already won the battle against them by forcing them to hide in the five Headquarters Cities. There was no reason for the sea rulers to retreat!
“Is it a natural phenomenon, or a trick of the sea monsters?” an explorer of the Shoreline Alliance picked up a smelly rock and inspected it.
The seabed was covered in thick mud. Their boots would sink halfway into the mud as they were walking on it.
The team of explorers was made up of elite members of the Shoreline Alliance. The Shoreline Alliance had been exploring the oceans and learning about sea creatures and their evolutions. They had to understand the world under the sea so they could figure out how to stop the sea monsters’ invasion.
After the sea level had fallen, they had quickly explored places they had not dared to go to before, especially the cliffs and the trenches, as most high-level sea monsters enjoyed staying in the darkness of the deep sea, and they were more accustomed to the water pressure of the deep waters. The Shoreline
Alliance could identify the species, number, and level of the sea monsters through the scales, skin tissues, fangs, and body waste left by the sea monsters.
“Don’t you think that’s strange?” Dean Lee asked.
Lee Xu was the Dean of the Pearl Institute’s School of White Magic. He was also the Vice Chairman of the Magic City’s Shoreline Alliance. He had personally led teams in exploring the dangerous zones so they could understand the reason behind the unusual phenomena.
This time, he had to find out where the dark red seawater had come from!
A mysterious scholar had detected a new member of the Tribe of Sea Gods having appeared in the East China Sea. Therefore, they had to find out its ability, its power, and how many sea monsters it was leading before their first encounter with the creature.
“Is something wrong, Dean Lee?” Elder Yue Qing asked, sensing something off.
“Shouldn’t there be a lot of dead sea monsters around?” Dean Lee quickly looked around.
The whole place was covered in the filth of the seabed, but the dead bodies that were floating on the surface several days ago had all vanished.
Dean Lee clearly remembered the dead bodies had sunk to the bottom of the sea. It had only been a week. They would not decompose so quickly, yet the only remains he could see had obviously been around for ages.
Where did the dead bodies of the army of sea monsters go? Did the strange tide carry them away?
Why would they bother to retrieve their corpses?
“Elder Yue, take a look at this!” a member of the team called out.
Dean Lee and Elder Yue immediately looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a red tide approaching them fiercely from the horizon.
“Run, quick!” Dean Lee immediately told everyone to retreat when he realized something was not right.
‘The dark red tide came on suddenly, like a terrifying storm. Its bloody Aura soon reached the team.
Dean Lee realized the dark red tide was not made up of water, but a huge number of ghastly sea monsters!
Their rotten flesh and poisonous pus were giving off a foul stench. They were sprinting across the dried seabed, as if they were replacing the seawater.
“Un…undead!”
“It’s the Sea Undead!”
The oceans covered massive areas, thus the presence of death that the oceans had accumulated was stronger. In the past, the scholars of the Shoreline Alliance had conjectured the existence of an Undead Kingdom at the bottom of the sea. It was formed by the countless dead bodies of sea creatures that
had accumulated over a long time, resulting in insane numbers of undead.
To their surprise, the Sea Undead had charged at their city as soon as the sea level had fallen, as if they had long planned it.
“Dean Lee, aren’t these the sea monsters that died recently? They have all turned into Undead!”
“L..I’m not sure,” Dean Lee’s expression fell sharply. He was starting to have a bad feeling about this.
Dean Lee kept looking at the tide of Undead while he was retreating, His scalp turned numb when he saw an aloof figure standing above the army of Undead!
She was looking down at them like the empress of darkness and death. Her eyes were brimming with hatred.
She was the new member of the Tribe of Sea Gods!
She was capable of commanding this army of sea monsters which had died and turned into undead!
More importantly, Dean Lee found the outline and the pale face of the creature extremely familiar.
The dark red tide closed in on them.
Dean Lee and his men were still around ten kilometers away from the safe zone. They obviously could not make it in time.
‘The Sea Undead crashed into the team. The members of the team could not escape the fate of being annihilated by the Sea Undead.
Dean Lee also gave up.
He was surrounded by the Sea Undead, but for some reason, they were ignoring him. They had simply swept on past him.
It felt like an invisible barrier was protecting Dean Lee from the Sea Undead. However, Dean Lee knew he was not under any protection.
As he thought, the Sea Undead cleared a path for the figure with a colorful dress, pale face, hollow eyes, and long hair brimming with the presence of death.
“Ding…Ding Yumian!” Dean Lee could not believe his eyes when he saw the woman..
