17:06

Less than an hour remained until nightfall, yet both Sea Rock Island and the Island had already been engulfed by the surging dark clouds.

Black clouds, like cotton soaked in oil, pressed heavily toward the sea. The gale raised ten-meter-high waves, smashing fiercely against the reefs. The air was filled with salty, sulfurous vapors, transforming the tens of miles of sea surface into a boiling hell, making it impossible to distinguish the sea from the sky.

Surrounded by ocean, Sea Rock Island became a festival for sea monsters during the storm. Shadowy figures occasionally revealed creatures that induced great fear. Under the black water, a snake-like shadow, mountain-like in size, slithered between the waves, its dark green scales stirring whirlpools but keeping its full appearance elusive. Further away, a pale tentacle over thirty meters in diameter broke through the sea surface and slammed down, its crashing waves instantly engulfing half of the Island Lighthouse. The air resonated with low-frequency hums, signaling the breath of unidentifiable deep-sea behemoths.

The Island, meanwhile, was experiencing minor tremors. A dense, black Monster Tide rushed like an avalanche toward the southwestern Sea Rock Prison, as if targeting a specific prey. Even underground, Abnormal Bodies were tunneling forward, tearing open the surface.

"It’s invisible! Use shock waves to sweep!"

In the geothermal well, Lin Xian shouted, while thousands of drones, under Viola’s control, swiftly moved defensively toward Lin Xian and Ning Jing. Simultaneously, KIKI shot out like a beam of light through the gaps in the drones.

"Whew~"

In the air, KIKI exhaled gently, then reached out with both hands as if grasping the void!

Buzz!

A low, soft hum sounded as a nearly transparent spherical light screen rapidly contracted toward her heart, instantly transforming into a shockwave light ball emitting white fluorescence, radiating outward from her as the center!

Boom!!!! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The invisible shockwave expanded spherically, dispersing with tremendous force across a diameter of several hundred, even a thousand meters!

The shockwave forcefully dispelled the hot blasts and steam erupting from the geothermal well, aggressively expanding in a ball wave form, scattering numerous fallen rocks and debris, including the protective railings over the geothermal equipment!

[Target located!]

Under this 360-degree assault, Viola’s thousands of "eyes" captured the target within milliseconds. Instantly, all the Thunder Falcon drones reversed direction, launching toward a fractured tunnel entrance above.

Concentrated red pulse beams hit precisely, unleashing piercing ability pulse sounds. At the moment of impact, the seemingly hollow tunnel entrance flickered with a faint green biological force field ripple. The ripple spread, instantly outlining the contour of a completely transparent, twisted giant insect.

Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately realized that it was the monster hiding in the flood discharge channel. This creature, elusive and mysterious, had evaded Qian Deli and Ning Jing’s team despite thorough searches before sealing the upper tunnel. It could not only become invisible but even evade biological detectors, truly bizarre!

"Found it, capture it!"

"Okay!" Before Lin Xian’s words fell, KIKI had already used a surge of telekinesis to grip the still-glowing biological force field creature directly. The immense force carved deep cracks into the tunnel entrance walls, indicating KIKI was using full strength.

For Lin Xian and KIKI, handling a Special Level monster was no issue if they exerted their full power. Recognizing the urgency of a rapid resolution amid the chaos outside, Lin Xian did not hesitate, raising a hand to signal the Gravitational Lens.

A Black Hole crossed dimensions and appeared from nowhere, quelling all gimmickry!

Buzz!

A spatial hum resounded, causing the overwhelming magma vapor sounds in the geothermal well to vanish as if instantly; even the scorching light was devoured. A distorted space spontaneously formed in the area controlled by KIKI, resembling a black water vortex in the air.

In a flash, the twisted dark area collapsed into a lightless black hole, emitting a grinding sound, revealing a contiguous distorted biological mass, like a giant passage Black Insect. Its entirety seemed wrapped by innumerable transparent sea creatures resembling snakes. After shedding its invisibility, the black insects forming the main body twisted and changed color, many of them sucked into and ground up by the Gravitational Lens, even their force field rays couldn’t escape.

The giant Black Insect frantically twisted, its snake-like black parts seemingly capable of disassembling in different directions, spreading across the geothermal well’s rock walls, resembling a ’melting’ mass scattering to escape.

Witnessing the scene, Lin Xian and KIKI practically beheld firsthand the so-called ’unidentifiable’ entity. It was no concrete creature—not insect, not snake, its entire form capable of seepage and escape in any shape. After Lin Xian’s Gravitational Lens devoured an empty space, the remaining insect-snake mass withdrew from the devouring area, spreading a ’snake wall’ for hundreds of meters over the rock wall!

Meanwhile, countless black insect-snakes continued to pour out from the tunnel, gradually covering an even larger area. Within the blink of an eye, the geothermal well rock wall in front of Lin Xian and KIKI had turned a gray-black hue, as if the wall had come alive with the squirming of the insect-snake mass, sending shivers down their spines.
