Chapter 143 The Sea Monster Arrives
After confirming that Lord Jiang Yu was alright, another kind of panic rose in the adjutant's heart. Where did this powerful, almost monstrous man come from? Does the Ocean Empire even have such a person?
King of the Seven Seas! If General Lin Yi knew that the lord was being held in another man's arms, he would be furious. But according to his assessment, General Lin Yi had no chance of defeating this black-clad man.
Keslan: Black hair + black cloak + black dragon eagle = a black man? You'll really thank me.
This one-sided battle situation didn't attract Jiang Yu for long. Lin Yi's elite troops, plus Keslan's hidden men, made these pirates really unlucky to have boarded such a big and unreliable pirate ship as Lady Tini.
Jiang Yu thought of Lady Tini. In the past two days, when she had nothing to do, she went through the clues of the whole incident. She had reason to suspect that the emperor was just using her and Chen Xin as a raft to set up a trap to get rid of Lady Tini.
What should she settle? Was it about cheating on him or something else? Jiang Yu felt that thinking about it further was beyond her control. The saddest part of the whole thing was that the powerful figure behind the scenes was the highest authority in the empire. Even if she and her family understood, they couldn't hold the emperor responsible.
But Mrs. Tiny was the direct trigger. She was not innocent. She was in a high position but was not worthy of it. She held power but abused it for personal gain. She was ruthless, lecherous and narrow-minded.
She wanted to kill herself and Chen Xin. She deserved to be punished; whatever fate befell her was her own fault. The worse her end, the happier she would be.
And Ren Kecheng, she deserves to die too, she should pay the price.
Jiang Yu felt that the current situation was excellent, and now there was only one problem left.
"Where's Chen Xin? Haven't your men brought her out yet?" Jiang Yu asked Kesilan behind her. Kesilan was close to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, completely enveloping her within his reach. Jiang Yu felt a little awkward, but she understood that Long Ying was high in the sky, and he was protecting her like this.
Keslan rolled her eyes. Chen Xin, Chen Xin, it's Chen Xin again. This woman mentions Chen Xin eight hundred times a day. To be honest, Chen Xin is the one she truly cares about. Poor Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi, they don't even know they're receiving a false love from their wife.
"Don't worry, all the pirates on this ship combined can't beat my subordinate. It's a pity he doesn't have a dragon eagle, and he can't beat so many pure-blooded griffins. He's probably hiding somewhere with Lord Chen Xin."
"Why are you hiding? This is Lin Yi's personal guard. They're with us, okay?" Jiang Yu finished speaking and turned around to meet Keslan's suddenly enlightened look. She felt like swearing.
“That makes sense.” Keslan couldn’t resist touching Jiang Yu’s head again, but Jiang Yu slapped his hand away.
"Speak properly, don't resort to violence." This gangster boss has absolutely no manners; does he even know the difference between men and women?
Keslan didn't care about Jiang Yu's reaction. Anyway, he had touched what he wanted to touch. He withdrew his hand and placed both hands on Jiang Yu's waist, as if embedding Jiang Yu in his arms. He narrowed his eyes with some pleasure, while the dragon eagle Arthur under him snorted with some disgust.
"Hey, you fiery red griffin knight over there!" Keslan shouted. "Both lords are safe now, so don't be too nervous. Don't kill all the pirates, leave a few for me to take back to the palace to report!"
Looking at the powerful and arrogant man over there, Lin Yi's adjutant felt a pang of worry for Young General Lin Yi. He was truly a formidable opponent.
"Are you one of His Majesty's men?" the adjutant asked loudly. "I thank you on behalf of our general for rescuing Lord Jiang Yu. You can bring Lord Jiang Yu to our side, and I can give her my griffin. We will all accompany her and protect her."
The adjutant wanted to try to persuade Lin Yi again, but Keslan rejected him without hesitation: "I think it's safer for the lord to stay with me."
"?" Jiang Yu: Don't you need to ask my opinion?
Keslan let out another short whistle, and soon a response came from a corner of the cabin. A man dressed in black suddenly appeared on the deck, holding the unconscious Chen Xin in his arms.
Seeing Chen Xin, Jiang Yu finally felt completely relieved. Keslan, sensing the relaxation in the person in his arms, discussed with his adjutant riding a fiery red griffin, "I see your men have taken over the ship, so let's turn back now."
The adjutant had just nodded in agreement when his eyes widened in horror. A thick, eerie, gigantic tentacle had suddenly appeared in the void, as if it had appeared out of thin air without any warning.
The instant the tentacles appeared, Arthur's pupils constricted, and he reacted instantly. He swiftly dodged the enormous tentacle that slammed down from behind. The tentacle missed its target and fell into the sea, creating a wave several meters high on the surface.
The assassins hidden at the bottom of the ship were almost immediately dragged away by their sea beast mounts. The pressure from Molinbia was an overwhelming force that no sea beast could withstand. They only had time to show themselves and take their masters away to escape, and they couldn't care less about their masters' other orders.
Not far away, the ship, already tilted due to taking on water, rocked violently due to the waves. For a moment, everyone was stunned by this huge change.
After stabilizing himself while holding Jiang Yu, Keslan's usually nonchalant expression turned unusually cold. What was that monster that had just appeared? A giant octopus?
If it weren't for the violent churning of the sea, the tentacles that had just appeared would have seemed like an illusion, since they fell into the sea and never reappeared.
Keslan's deep voice broke the silence: "Forget about that wrecked ship, everyone get on the griffins and leave."
The monster's true nature is unknown, but it is exceptionally powerful. Even the part of it that has just surfaced is far beyond what humans could contend with. Many sea monsters remain unknown; it's best not to provoke them lightly.
Everyone sprang into action, but it was clear that this monster was not acting on a whim or just passing by. The first tentacle seemed to be merely a probe. After a short period of silence, the sea began to churn violently, like an underwater volcano erupting.
To everyone's horror, a dozen brightly colored, strong, and enormous tentacles burst from the water with unstoppable force, tearing through the surface and sweeping upwards. The griffins cried out in terror, flapping their wings to fly upwards, while the soldiers, no longer concerned with formation or orders, frantically dodged the agile and sweeping tentacles.
No one had ever seen tentacles like these before. Unlike the sticky and disgusting tentacles of other marine creatures, these tentacles resembled soft purple crystals, looking beautiful and dreamlike. The strangest thing was that these tentacles were covered with fins, which were not open at the moment, but were tightly attached to the tentacles, making each tentacle look like the tail of some legendary creature when viewed alone.
How could such a huge monster with such tentacles remain unknown, and how could it suddenly appear in the waters near the capital of the Ocean Empire?
The tentacles wrapped around the ship almost instantly, and the seemingly sturdy hull was twisted and crushed as easily as fragile cardboard, falling apart completely and utterly vulnerable.
