Chapter 498 - 321: Landing (Part 2)
And so the days passed one by one.
The great ship continued its voyage on the sea, drawing ever closer to that mysterious island.
...
The ship sailed tirelessly across the vast ocean for many days!
Finally!
On a sunny noon!
The ship slowly approached the long-awaited and mysterious island!
"Look quickly!"
"We made it!"
As the ship neared, people on board left their cabins, gathering on the deck to get a glimpse of the island’s splendor.
The sunlight danced on the sea, sparkling like diamonds, contrasting beautifully with the island shrouded in mist in the distance.
Lin Lang also joined the throng on the deck, squinting his eyes slightly, he activated the Eye of Destiny—
In an instant!
A strange light flickered in his eyes, and the island transformed entirely in his view.
What seemed like a tranquil island was now engulfed in a dense black mist!
The mist roiled and surged, as if hiding countless dangers and evils.
"A place this dangerous is indeed hard to come by."
Lin Lang murmured to himself.
...
And it seemed that other experts aboard, like Tono Taro, also sensed something amiss.
Tono Taro stood in a corner of the deck, arms crossed, with eyes cold and sharp—
He furrowed his brows slightly, emanating a lethal aura.
As if feeling the faint, unsettling presence emanating from the island!
Other experts also wore grave expressions, heightening their caution and discreetly preparing for emergencies.
However! Unlike these vigilant experts, the other tourists on board appeared exceptionally excited.
They were snapping photos with their cameras nonstop!
Faces lit with excited smiles, it was as though this was a long-anticipated journey.
Some tourists even cheered in excitement:
"Wow, finally! The island looks so beautiful!"
"Quick, take a picture of me, I want to boast online!"
"Another one!"
...
The ship slowly closed in on the island, slicing through the calm sea, sending layers of white spray into the air.
The sky, once bright and sunny, was sapphire blue like a gem.
The sunlight poured down unreservedly, bathing the entire ship in a warm golden glow.
On the deck!
The tourists were full of joyful chatter and laughter, savoring this pleasant moment and eagerly anticipating setting foot on the mysterious island.
But!
Just as the ship was mere inches from the island’s dock!
Without warning, the world changed color in an instant—
The blue sky seemed to be swiftly ripped away by an invisible hand!
Replacing it were rolling black clouds surging in!
They converged rapidly, piling layer upon layer, pressing the world into deeper darkness!
The sea wind suddenly turned fierce, emitting sharp howling sounds, like countless beasts roaring!
The sea waves, under the rampant wind, transformed into towering water walls, more than ten meters high!
With a crashing force, they slammed toward the ship!
The ship shook violently, as if a leaf swaying in a storm, ready to be relentlessly devoured at any moment!
"Ah! What’s happening?"
"Holy crap! A tsunami!"
The tourists screamed in terror, their smiles instantly replaced by fear.
Some collapsed onto the ground, trembling, muttering endlessly:
"What to do? What to do?"
Meanwhile, an even more terrifying sight took place—
From beneath the sea, countless massive black shadows suddenly emerged!
And then!
Gigantic sea creatures burst out of the water!
These monsters came in various shapes!
Some resembled colossal octopuses, with tentacles writhing like thick pythons;
Some looked like ferocious sharks, their sharp teeth glinting coldly under the dim light!
Others appeared like giant sea turtles, their shells covered in sharp spikes!
...
These monsters brandished claws and teeth, launching attacks on the ship!
Causing the ship to tremble violently!
"Help!"
"The monsters are going to sink the ship!"
Shouts and screams of panic mingled together!
But in the storm and rain, they seemed so small and helpless.
...
Facing this overwhelming threat.
Lin Lang remained calm and composed—
With his strength!
No situation, however dangerous, could pose a threat to him!
He merely steadied Natalia and Xina behind him.
Calmly responding to every change!
...
Just as everyone was engulfed in extreme panic, clueless on how to proceed!
Dean, the man in the black robe, stepped forward!
His black robe fluttered, surrounded by mysterious black mist, chanting with his hands rapidly forming complex seals.
Millian followed closely, and at Dean’s cue, she placed her hands on the deck, giving a soft shout, starting to activate an ancient and mysterious magic array.
As the magic array activated, strands of strange light emanated from it, slowly spreading across the deck.
Dean shouted loudly:
"Don’t panic, everyone, channel your power into the magic array to construct a protective shield!"
The people on the ship, though incredibly frightened, couldn’t worry about much else at this life-and-death moment!
They followed Dean’s instructions, concentrating and continuously channeling their power into the magic array—
In an instant!
Various colored lights intertwined and flickered within the magic array, forming a powerful energy current.
The energy current gathered and soared, eventually forming a huge hemispherical shield above the ship.
This shield emitted a soft and deep glow!
