Mo Fan was utterly confused.
Lanyang had only been abandoned for half a year. How did it turn into a paradise for the demon creatures? A Lance Spine Bear that was supposed to be in the woods had appeared out of nowhere and was discovered by the Sharkmen that had taken over the city!
‘The Sharkmen clearly enjoyed fresh meat. They immediately started feeding on it without killing it first. The Lance Spine Bear had no chance of fighting back.
Mo Fan looked at the pitiful creature.
It was just how the world was for now. The demon creatures on land were no match for the sea monsters. The Sharkmen could move freely on land, thus many species of demon creatures on land ended up as their food.
While Mo Fan was pondering how the ecosystem had been so disrupted by the sea monsters’ invasion, a Sharkmen Beast suddenly approached his location from the sky!
Its skin glittered, covered by the hard crystalline shell upon it. Mo Fan might even have mistook it for a spaceship if he had not seen its huge head and teeth!
‘The Sharkman Beast’s stomach expanded. It opened a mouth the size of a cabin and spat out a dozen Lance Spine Bears!
‘The Lance Spine Bears landed in the city, smashing shops, crushing vehicles, and making holes in the roads.
The hides of the Lance Spine Bears were tough, and they were not hurt after falling the great height. They immediately scattered in panic and ran wildly through the city that was only a maze to them.
‘The Sharkmen nearby cried out in celebration after the Sharkman Beast left. They soon set out to search for the Lance Spine Bears that had just been delivered to them by airdrop.
Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
It’s a hunting game! The Sharkmen are having hunts in the city!
‘The woods nearby were the territory of the Lance Spine Bears. The Sharkmen could easily wipe out the Lance Spine Bears with their outstanding strength and ability to move freely on land.
However, they did not attack the Lance Spine Bears. They simply caught them alive and threw them into the city so the rest of the Sharkmen could have fun hunting them!
These Sharkmen were not hungry. They were just entertaining themselves!
It was like the hunt would make the Lance Spine Bears’ meat taste better.
The Sharkmen were indeed ruthless to be playing hunting games inside human territory,
Mo Fan soon found the office building, avoiding the ground on his way there. He did not have trouble avoiding the Sharkmen as long as he did not stumble into their leaders.
‘The Kingdom of Sharkmen had two groups.
‘The first group was the Sharkmen. Their general outline was similar to human’s, but their skin, eyes, fingers, face, and head were different. They also had a spiked tail, were intelligent, and adept at magic.
The other group was the Sharkmen Beasts. Their intelligence was not as high, but their size and physical strength were crazy.
‘The Trench Demons were only a branch of the Sea Gods. They had proclaimed themselves as the Sea Monster Prophets and were leading many species in the sea.
The Sharkmen were a powerful tribe of the Sea Gods too. They were known as the Sea God Warriors. They had their own king, chieftains, and elders.
Sometimes, a reputable elder of the Sharkmen would ride a Sharkman Beast into battle.
The Sharkman Elders were the leaders of a clan. Multiple clans would gather to form a tribe, and the leader of a tribe would be a Sharkman Chieftain.
Many tribes had formed a kingdom, the Sharkman Kingdom.
The Sharkman that had tried to take over Hangzhou’s West Lake was not the king, it was only a Sharkman Chieftain. Human’s knowledge of the oceans was too limited.
‘The Shoreline Alliance had finally declared the existence of the Sharkman Kingdom. The people of Lanyang were evacuated as soon as they confirmed the king of the Sharkman Kingdom was an Emperor!
The city would not stand a chance against a kingdom of sea monsters!
Mo Fan would never have known these things if he had not come to Lanyang and seen the city that had been taken over by the Sharkmen.
He was extremely cautious as he was walking around the city, since he had no idea how many Sharkmen there were or what level they were. He did not want to alert them to his presence.
‘The office building was tall and wide. It was as big as a few shopping malls combined.
‘A Sharkman Beast was patrolling up in the air. Mo Fan did not dare stay exposed. He followed an overhead bridge into the huge building.
Ayoung Sharkman was sprinting across the road below the bridge like a silver race car. The sound it was making was like a roaring engine.
Mo Fan took a quick look around and saw a Lance Spike Bear running toward a crossroad five hundred meters away. It slammed into the window of a shop right before the young Sharkman caught up to it and ran away through the back alley.
Mo Fan had a feeling the Sharkmen and the Lance Spike Bears were filming a sequel to The Fast and Furious!
The overhead bridge had a roof. It was unlikely the Sharkmen could see what was on the bridge from below. Mo Fan moved out of the shadows and took the stairs down.
‘Mo Fan was shocked when he discovered a figure curling up in a corner close to the stairs.
Mo Fan first thought it was a young Sharkman. He tightened the grip on his dagger and was going to kill the creature with a quick blow.
However, Mo Fan realized it was a skinny young man in his twenties. He had curled his body up as much as possible, like he was trying to hide from something on the bridge.
‘The man was trembling, and no longer had a brave temperament. He was more like a woman who had been abused: uneasy and scared!
‘The man was facing the other way. He did not notice Mo Fan.
He eventually turned around and saw Mo Fan. His eyes were bloodshot and dull, like something had taken out the light in them!
“L..1 tried to protect her, but…but I couldn’t control my legs. I heard her scream. It felt like I was being stabbed in the heart.”
“Wasn’t the city evacuated half a year ago?” Mo Fan asked the man, who was obviously hiding from the Sharkmen.
Mo Fan suddenly thought of something. A strong chill ran down his spine and penetrated his soul!
The Lance Spine Bears were not the only prey in the hunting games!
