Chapter 351 Entering the sea
"Cheng Xiang! Hurry!"
Just as Cheng Xiang finished speaking, she heard someone shouting loudly.
Cheng Xiang was shocked when she heard this, and quickly responded, said goodbye to Xu Fu, and ran away in a hurry.
As soon as Cheng Xiang left, she saw Zhang Kun falling from mid-air. The shout just now was from her.
"How come you still have time to come over? Are you done with your work so soon?"
Xu Fu asked Zhang Kun in confusion. Although there were some casualties in Zhuque Shangling Temple, there were still many people left. It was only a short period of time. It was impossible for Zhang Kun to send everyone to the second level of the sea of fire.
"What? Did it delay your meeting with your lover?" Zhang Kun said unhappily.
"What? Don't talk nonsense and tarnish my innocence. I don't have any improper thoughts!" Xu Fu hurriedly explained.
"I just need to convey the dean's intention to the teachers, and they will arrange their own disciples to go to the sea of fire. If I search one by one, I won't be able to finish even if I wait until dawn."
Zhang Kun did not hold Xu Fu accountable, but answered Xu Fu's question.
"As expected of the new Dean Suzaku, he remained calm in the face of danger. Amazing!"
Xu Fu flattered him with a hint of sarcasm.
Not only him, I'm afraid no one in Suzaku thought that Zhang Kun would become the next dean. Even though Xu Fu supported Zhang Kun from the bottom of his heart, in his eyes, he felt that this sister was still a little lacking in calmness if she were to be the dean.
"She wants to hide away and have some free time, but she's dreaming. As long as Zhuque is still here, the position of dean belongs to her, Ma Yueming. I'll settle with her after she recovers from her injuries!" Zhang Kun said viciously. It sounded like he had no intention of being the dean, but was only taking over temporarily due to Ma Yueming's injury.
"My dear dean, please don't talk nonsense. The dean's inheritance is no joke." Upon hearing this, Xu Fu hurriedly advised. Suzaku is already in chaos enough now, and it can't withstand Zhang Kun's further trouble.
"If she doesn't take back her order, I will pass the position of dean to her. I won't sit in that position anyway. Then I will build a house by the sea and kill monsters from the sea!"
Xu Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. Sure enough, Zhang Kun was still the same as before. If it was true as she said, even if the sea dragon was eliminated, Suzaku would still be in chaos for a while.
"Why would this sea dragon suddenly come ashore and eat people?"
Xu Fu looked at the dark ocean in the distance and asked Zhang Kun.
"I don't know, but it was very cunning. When it first sneaked into Suzaku, it was midnight and even the night watchman didn't notice it. Fortunately, a newcomer was practicing swordsmanship and discovered this sea dragon, otherwise..."
"Newcomer practicing sword? Is that person Haitang?" Xu Fu suddenly thought of a red figure and asked hurriedly.
"That's right." Zhang Kun's face changed when he heard that and he answered softly.
"Then she..."
Xu Fu suddenly became nervous.
Zhang Kun didn't say anything, a sad expression on his face.
"Dead?" Although Xu Fu had already guessed the answer, he still couldn't help asking.
"She was the first to discover the sea dragon. She did not flee, but used her sword energy as a signal to wake everyone up. By the time they rushed over, the sea dragon had already swallowed Haitang..."
Xu Fu's expression darkened. Although he and Haitang were not close friends, they were acquaintances after all. Such a living person was gone just like that. Xu Fu felt very upset.
"Because Haitang discovered it in time, Zhuque only lost Haitang. When the sea dragon came again the second time, no one noticed, and Zhuque lost forty-three people..."
At this point, Zhang Kun did not continue, because if there was a second time, there might be a third and fourth time. No one could predict how many people would die in the next Suzaku. Although people had been arranged to guard day and night, facing a ninth-grade monster like the sea dragon, cultivators below the eighth grade could not help at all. Now the Suzaku Upper Spiritual Academy was fighting with the sea dragon for recovery. If the top cultivators of the Suzaku recovered quickly, they could still stop it next time. But if the sea dragon recovered quickly, then...
Zhang Kun didn't dare to think any further, she just hoped that there would be strong reinforcements to help Zhuque survive this disaster. After a calculation, the ones sent to deliver the letter should arrive at Qinglong tomorrow, and those sent to Baihu and Xuanwu might arrive a little later, but they should arrive within three days.
“I hope I can catch up!”
Zhang Kun sighed in her heart. She knew that even the other three great spiritual academies would not just ignore Suzaku's request for help and send out all their elite troops. She should be thankful that someone could arrive within two days.
The best outcome Zhang Kun could foresee was that the reinforcements would arrive before the sea dragon came ashore, and they would set up a dragnet, and as soon as the sea dragon showed its head again, everyone would attack together to surround and kill it.
"There's movement!"
Suddenly a loud shout came from the direction of the beach.
"coming?"
Zhang Kun was shocked when he heard this. He didn't even bother to say hello to Xu Fu. He immediately used Fire Escape and left.
Xu Fu spread his wings and flew into the sky. He wanted to see what this ninth-grade sea dragon looked like that could render the entire Suzaku Shangling Academy helpless.
At this time, the coast was illuminated by various fire spells. Xu Fu found that he didn't need to ask Ma Yueming where the sea dragon came from. The traces of the sea dragon crawling on the beach were clearly visible.
Just looking at the depression on the beach, Xu Fu took a deep breath.
"This is really a huge monster!" Xu Fu sighed in his heart.
Looking at the traces, Xu Fu estimated that the sea dragon was about five or six arms thick. If such a big creature were to eat humans, even a hundred or so might not be enough to feed them.
I saw many spells hitting the sea surface almost at the same time, and a lot of water vapor immediately rose from the sea surface. The whole beach was like a thick fog, and I couldn’t see what was in the sea at all.
Xu Fu concentrated his spiritual power into his eyes and easily saw through the fog. He saw a big fish floating on the sea. It was black and looked like it had been roasted.
Xu Fu took another careful look at the sea and saw nothing else. It seemed that this big fish was the "noise".
Looking at the Suzaku students who were still on guard on the beach, Xu Fu felt a little sad.
One of the four most prestigious spiritual academies today is now in a state of panic.
Thinking of Ma Yueming, Cheng Xiang, Zhang Kun and Haitang, whom he would never see again, Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, spread his wings, and flew into the mist.
"what sound?"
"Something seems to have fallen into the sea?"
"Could it be that beast coming?"
……
When the people on the shore heard the strange noise coming from the sea, they became nervous again and tried their best to gather their spiritual power, not daring to slack off at all.
When the fog cleared, someone had already gone to the sea and dragged the burnt fish ashore. Looking at the calm sea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already very late at this time, and Zhang Kun arranged for everyone to take turns to rest, and then dragged his tired body back to the meeting hall.
After searching inside and outside the house, they found that Xu Fu was nowhere to be found.
