Chapter 129

Just as a batch of Sea Monkeys perished, more monsters swarmed in, hurling themselves at the Ghost Ship in an endless wave of carnage. An hour passed, then two. Gu Yi and his companions had long since lost count of how many Sea Monkeys they had slaughtered. They knew only to keep their blades moving, hacking and slashing as if caught in a mechanical trance. The vast stretch of sea surrounding the Ghost Ship was now stained a deep, murky black-green. Countless corpses floated on the surface, and the overwhelming stench of blood rose high into the sky. Āníng and her team were struck speechless, utterly stunned. In their experience, these Sea Monkeys—nearly impenetrable and near-invulnerable—were being harvested like common weeds by Gu Yi’s group. This scene overturned their understanding of the world, collapsing their long-held worldview and forcing them to rebuild it in an instant. Even Wu Tianzhen, who had known the extraordinary strength of Gu Yi’s group beforehand, found it hard to believe. As Gu Gang had mentioned earlier, each Sea Monkey possessed power no less than that of a Blood Corpse. Yet, such formidable beings could not survive a single move against the four men.
