“I’m after the birds on Dawn Island. What the hell do these fish in the water want from me!?” Zhao Manyan cursed.

Zhao Manyan was annoyed when he saw that the fish in the area of Dawn Island had been alarmed.

Several blue-brown figures sprang into the sky amid fountains of water. The creatures were jumping right at Zhao Manyan, who was flying in the sky.

The creatures were surprisingly quick. Zhao Manyan did not expect them to be able to reach a height of two hundred meters in no time. His left arm was cut when he could not dodge in time, leaving a deep bloody wound on it. He immediately felt a burning pain from it!

“Assholes!”

Zhao Manyan looked into the sky where the blue-brown figures had gone. He was shocked to see them diving back to the water after reaching over three hundred meters!

“What the hell is going on? Are there SAM turrets on Dawn Island or what?” Zhao Manyan watched the things diving back into the water in astonishment.

There was more than one blue-brown creature. A few more of them flew at Zhao Manyan not long afterward. This time, he managed to dodge in time. They dove back into the water just like before.

Suddenly, a huge bunch of blue-brown creatures shot up from the water, flying at Zhao Manyan like a series of bullets. It felt like countless huge boomerangs had just been fired at him from under the surface of the sea, leaving Zhao Manyan with nowhere to run!

“F**k me!” Zhao Manyan cursed.

He quickly flipped his body and placed his hands together to Summon a Water Curtain on both sides. He then connected the two Water Curtains by bringing them closer to one another!

The number of boomerang creatures was quite shocking. If something was flying into the sky, the creatures could easily cut it into a pile of bones in a matter of seconds. Zhao Manyan’s Water Curtains were under great pressure. The barriers were thinning continuously, yet the attacks showed no sign of stopping!

It totally made sense since the things would return to the water after each attempt, like a boomerang that flew back to its thrower. It would be thrown at the target again after some time. Once the boomerangs reached a certain number and timing, the attacks would become endless, so even the sturdiest defense would be worn out gradually!

“What exactly are those things!?” Zhao Manyan’s hands were already a little numb from the vibration of the Water Curtains every time they received a hit.

Zhao Manyan still could not see the creature’s true appearance even after he was bullied for a while. They were constantly spinning at an insane speed, so Zhao Manyan could not even tell if they were living creatures or just some sharp objects…

A huge blast suddenly took place in the sea. A wave exploded over fifty meters high, as if the blast had blown a huge hole in the waters.

Zhao Manyan glanced down and almost felt his heart jump out from his throat. An enormous boomerang was smashing its way through the tiny boomerangs, heading right at him.

It felt like he was watching a whole mountain crashing towards him after lifting his gaze amid a little hail!

BANG!

The big boomerang was also spinning at high speed, preventing Zhao Manyan from seeing what it was clearly. However, his new shield consisted of two overlapping Light Spells

Zhao Manyan felt like he had just been run over by the wheels of an enormous tank. He was knocked flying by an enormous force. His chest was experiencing burning pain, while his organs felt like they were going to shatter into pieces at any second!

Zhao Manyan did not dare to stay any longer after he was injured. He immediately poured his energy into his wings and left the area.

He turned around to take a quick look and happened to see the enormous boomerang creature falling back to the water, leaving the same huge hole in it.

However, he still could not see its true appearance. He headed back to the land with great shock and many injuries.

——

Zhao Manyan glided down when the land was within view. He failed to stabilize himself and fell to the ground in front of Mo Fan and the others, ending up covered in dirt and grass.

“Weren’t you going to scout the place? Why do you look like you have just been through a fight of life and death?” Mo Fan stared at Zhao Manyan’s miserable appearance in shock.

“How the f**k would I know? Thousands of weird things suddenly flew out from the ocean when I was getting closer to Dawn Island. They took me by surprise, too,” Zhao Manyan swore.

His injuries were not too serious. They did not endanger his life, but he was extremely displeased by the outcome.

Most importantly, he did not manage to see what the creatures were, because they kept spinning!

“Lingling, do you know what they are?” Zhao Manyan asked.

Lingling rolled her eyes and answered, “Who could possibly tell what the creatures are from your description?”

“It sounds like Dawn Island isn’t something to be messed with, either. Zhao Manyan ended up like this before reaching the island,” Jiang Shaoxu murmured.

“We’ll wait until Mu Bai gets here tomorrow and decide how we’re going to deal with those creatures,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan was at his worst when it came to fighting in the water. He would not stand a chance against the strange creatures that Zhao Manyan had described unless he could reach the land. Even a defensive Mage like Zhao Manyan had been injured.

Mu Bai’s Primary Element was Ice. The Ice and Water Elements were quite similar, so he might have a plan to deal with the creatures.

—

The group went back to town to get some rest. Zhao Manyan suddenly stopped everyone as they were going back to their rooms.

Mo Fan turned around and saw Zhao Manyan holding onto the wall feebly. Even the color of his skin had changed slightly.

“Old Zhao?” Mo Fan quickly inspected Zhao Manyan’s wound. He noticed the cut on Zhao Manyan’s arm had turned blueish. It did not fester, but it seemed like it was frozen.

“I…I think I’m poisoned,” Zhao Manyan gasped.

“Those creatures are poisonous?” Jiang Shaoxu swore.

They had inspected Zhao Manyan’s wound previously. The wound showed no sign of festering, so they had only treated it with simple medicine. To their surprise, the wound left a frozen mark behind after it healed. Zhao Manyan was already panting heavily from just walking!

“It’s an uncommon kind of poison. Let’s hope it doesn’t get any worse,” Lingling said.

Uncommon poisons were tricky to deal with, since normal antidotes were useless against them. Even a Healer would be clueless about how to deal with them.
