Chapter 351 - 165: Shocking Upheaval in the Endless Sea, and a Peculiar Harvest from the Monster Nest
"We can break that wall right now!"
Ecstatic, the survivor unleashed a skill, intending to escape and report this news.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain!
After being shattered twice, the invisible wall’s Defense Power had dropped by a full ninety percent.
Just as Shen Fei had guessed, when he directed countless vines to ram it again, the invisible wall could no longer stop them from piercing through.
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
The vines piercing the invisible wall shot forward like sea serpents, reaching their targets in an instant. In a flash, all the intelligent aquatic creatures controlling the skills were bound tight.
"Domain!"
Having bound the fleeing aquatic creatures in an instant, Shen Fei activated several Domain Towers with a single thought.
CLICK!
The moment the Domain activated, the few aquatic creatures who were still struggling—some even trying to use Teleportation items to escape—instantly went limp like dead fish. They became completely docile, ceasing all resistance!
CRASH!
With all the intelligent aquatic creatures either killed or captured by Shen Fei, the tidal wave looming over Ye City collapsed with a deafening roar. The immense wave instantly lost its cohesion, collapsing and surging outward in every direction.
BOOM!
Unfortunately, the invisible wall still stood before Songhai’s Ye City. A moment ago, the wall that had defended against the enemy had now, ironically, become a protective barrier for Songhai. Although Shen Fei’s two Cluster Attacks and the burrowing vines had torn openings in the wall, these were too small to compromise its overall protection.
A boundless amount of seawater surged in all directions, as if from a collapsing dam. However, thanks to the invisible wall, the torrent rushing toward Ye City was brutally thrown back.
After a few surges and ebbs, the momentum of the waves was completely neutralized. The water that had been massed before Ye City vanished without a trace.

"Tell everyone to discuss whether or not to take out the Monster Nests that have gathered near their cities!"
"Give me a list!"
"If you decide to attack, I can help in half an hour!"
"I recommend that we eventually destroy all the nests in the settlement areas!"
As the great wave receded, the invisible wall followed, gradually retreating back into the sea. Shen Fei gave an order to those around him.
With a WHOOSH, he brought the intelligent aquatic creatures he had just bound into an empty room in Ye City.
* * *
"Alright!"
"Spill it. Who are you people?"
"What are you trying to do!"
Entering the interrogation room, he activated his full Domain, rendering the aquatic creatures unable to do anything but speak. Shen Fei then began his interrogation immediately.
Shen Fei wanted answers for all the anomalies: the invisible wall, the strange words these "people" had exclaimed, and their appearance coinciding with the monster tide’s boss. He was confident he would learn everything he wanted to know.
After discovering he couldn’t control these intelligent creatures with the Mind Control Tower earlier, Shen Fei’s interest in them had grown immensely.
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"
An aquatic creature that looked like Benbo’erba was still in disbelief. That they, the mighty ones, could be killed and even captured by a human player. In their worldview, this was utterly impossible! The realization completely shattered their will.
"I’m asking you a question!"
Seeing that the captured creatures weren’t answering, Shen Fei, without another word, controlled the vines to wrap around each of their necks.
As long as they’re intelligent, can communicate, and can be killed, I have plenty of ways to make them talk!
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
With the help of several special Defense Towers, Shen Fei slowly loosened their tongues.
And then, as more and more intelligence came to light, Shen Fei was left completely dumbfounded by what he heard.
* * *
"Hm?"
A squad has lost contact? And they stirred up a giant wave, intentionally pushing the boundary forward by several hundred kilometers?
On the sea east of Songhai City, an aquatic creature with the appearance of Bapo’erben was stunned after sensing the disappearance of some of his kin.
Did they leave? Or did they run into our kind from another region?
Bapo’erben’s brow was deeply furrowed, unable to determine the whereabouts of the missing squad. He would never have imagined that a human player could shatter their boundary, let alone capture and kill them.
Forget it. The tide is over, so it’s time to head back. The closest city to this place is Great Xia’s Songhai. I’ll record this location for now...
A while later, the missing squad had still not returned.
Bapo’erben muttered to himself and, with a PLOP, dove into the sea.
The ocean—no one could say for sure how vast it was at this moment.
* * *
"Holy shit!"
"What the hell was that thing just now?"
"Why could it talk?"
"Aren’t monsters supposed to be unable to talk?"
On the Forum, as the monster tide came to a complete end, a new thread appeared.
Everyone now knew that Shen Fei, who had helped all of Great Xia survive the monster tide, had just captured several talking, exceptionally unusual creatures in Songhai.
Right now, Shen Fei was in the middle of his interrogation. The other players who had witnessed this scene via the livestream were overcome with curiosity about what was happening.
"What’s with all the questions!"
"Is Brother Chongtian’s business something you get to ask about?!"
"If it’s something everyone should know, you’ll be told without having to ask. If it’s not, it’s useless even if you do ask!"
"Everyone should focus on whether or not to destroy the Monster Nests that have sprouted health bars right on your doorsteps!"
Unfortunately, because the Forum used a real-name system, soon after many players posted their questions, the director of their city’s Tourism Management Office,
