Chapter 3658: Sea Monster

The military minister had a grave expression and asked, "Your Majesty, the Oz Empire has broken through our sealed-off zone and entered Sea God Island. They must have had some ulterior motive. For safety’s sake, should we have Sea God Island directly expel them?"
"No need. Sawyer would know how to handle it."
At the same time, Sea God Island.
After a period of rest, Raygynold had finally recovered from his fear. Under the cover of night, he had hidden near the bay harbor and was secretly watching the merchant ship belonging to the Oz Empire from a distance.
"Your Highness, our people had boarded that merchant ship under the excuse of a safety inspection and conducted a rough check." Darcy walked over with his men, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "We did not find any traces of high-level deities."
"That was impossible!"
Raygynold’s face turned dark immediately as he interrupted, "Did your people even search properly? Or are you trying to tell me that kind of power could be possessed by ordinary people?"
The tide of undead had brought him unprecedented fear, and it had also ignited an extremely strong desire to possess that power.
"Do not be anxious. Perhaps the merchant group had anticipated that we would board the ship for a search, so they had hidden the deity somewhere on the ship in advance and avoided our inspection."
Raygynold asked, "Are you certain the divine statue was still on the ship?"
"These people were received by Briget when they disembarked. I just asked Briget. He was very sure he could not sense any divine power on them, and they did not carry any large items when they left the ship. So the statue could only have been hidden on the ship."
"Then what should we do now?"
Raygynold gritted his teeth and stared at the merchant ship in the distance, his eyes burning with uncontrollable anger. He said in a deep voice, "Are we just going to let this go? I almost died because of them!"
"Rest assured, the High Priest will make arrangements."
Darcy nodded and warned again, "Remember, do not let anger cloud your judgment. Even if you want to act, you must not do it on Sea God Island."
"Wait!"
Raygynold stopped Darcy as he was about to leave and said in a deep voice, "You promised me before that I could borrow the Sea God’s Song sacrifice item once, right?"
Darcy’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Raygynold and frowned, "You want to use the Sea God’s Song here?"
Raygynold stared at him and asked, "Just answer me. Will you lend it or not?"
Darcy took a deep breath and said, "I need to ask the High Priest for instructions."
"Then go quickly. Tell the High Priest that he personally agreed to lend me the Sea God’s Song. I will bear the cost of activating it, and I will give you ten times the sacrifice amount afterward. I only want that ship’s deity."
During the day, Fang Heng’s undead tide had brought Raygynold tremendous shock.
Raygynold could not help but think that if he could also control that kind of power...
Then he would be invincible.
As long as there was even a slight chance, he had to try.
Raygynold stared at the merchant ship and said viciously, "Even if I cannot find their deity, I will still leave them with a deep lesson."
"I understand."
...
Late night.
The merchant ship was quietly anchored at the harbor.
After a busy day, most of the crew had already rested.
Howell had not relaxed his vigilance and had still arranged personnel to guard the bay area. After checking once, he was about to return to his room when he suddenly heard a noise on the deck.
What had happened again?
Howell hurried up to the deck to check.
Just as he arrived, an alarm sounded from the shore.
"What had happened?"
The crew gathered on the deck. When they saw Howell arrive, they pointed toward the sea in the distance.
"Captain, look. There was movement on the sea. Something was lurking underwater."
Howell looked into the distance. Under the ship’s searchlights, ripples appeared on the surface of the sea.
It seemed as though something was gathering beneath the water.
Was it a high-tier sea monster?
Howell frowned deeply.
At this moment, on the shore, priest Darcy rushed over with a group of Sea God Island guards holding torches and shouted toward the ship, "Howell!"
Howell leaned out and looked at Darcy, frowning, "What is it?"
"We had detected a sea monster tide tonight. Sea God Island was about to be attacked by sea monsters. The Bay Area was extremely dangerous. You must evacuate immediately and follow us to the safe zone."
A sea monster tide?
Howell’s heart tightened, suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Sea monster tides usually occurred in deep-sea regions, and this place was already near the island.
Could sea monsters really attack ships docked at the coast?
"Quick! Sea monsters will attack all ships. Evacuate immediately!"
Howell frowned.
"I have already warned you. Evacuate quickly!"
Seeing Howell still hesitate, Darcy coldly snorted inwardly and signaled his subordinates to quickly notify the other docked ships to evacuate.
"Captain, what should we do?"
Seeing that the other ships in the harbor had begun evacuating one after another, the assistant became uncertain and looked at Howell, "There really is something wrong with the sea. It really looks like sea monsters are appearing."
"No rush. I have already contacted the commander. We will wait for his instructions."
...
Sea God Island.
In the island’s guest room hall, a magic formation quickly condensed on the ground.
Meng Qingyu and Cao Ge both looked at the magic array.
Fang Heng’s figure emerged from within it.
He had just returned once more to the dimensional world.
Everything in the dimensional world was stable. Summoning and Constructology training had continued steadily, and resources in the cultivation space were sufficient.
He could now shift more attention to the Black Sea World.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Fang Heng appear, Meng Qingyu immediately felt reassured and said, "The Sea God Island port has issued an alarm. A sea monster tide is expected to arrive soon. The Sea God Island priests have instructed us to evacuate immediately. For safety, I have asked Howell to temporarily withdraw the crew from the ship."
"A sea monster tide?"
Fang Heng frowned and asked, "What is that?"
"In deep-sea areas, high-tier sea monster groups sometimes appear. It is extremely dangerous."
Fang Heng said, "We are not in a deep-sea area here."
"Yes, that is why we also feel this sea monster tide is very strange."
"Let’s go. We will go take a look."
"No, we tried earlier, but the Sea God Island guards outside stopped us from leaving. They said it was the rules of Sea God Island."
Cao Ge added from the side, "We tried to force our way out, but we received a system prompt saying that doing so would greatly reduce our friendship with Sea God Island."
Fang Heng glanced at the guards outside the window.
There were noticeably more guards than when he had left earlier.
And all of them were watching their room.
It felt more like surveillance.
