I Start with a Mysterious Island

Chapter 540: Chapter 354: Calm and Composed, Suppressing All

"Gurgle..."

After severely wounding the most troublesome human with a single swipe of its claw, the giant Fish-headed Monster gave a low chuckle. ’Humans are so weak,’ it thought. ’They can’t even block one of my attacks.’

The member of the Treasure Hunting Squad with the abdominal wound, who had been panicking and screaming for help, was tackled to the ground by a normal Fish-headed Monster, adding several more injuries to his body.

The ugly Fish-headed Monsters tore at his legs and arms, trying to rip him apart as blood gushed from the bite marks.

"H-help me!"

Under these circumstances, the wounded Treasure Hunting Squad member’s cries for help grew fainter and fainter.

As for his companions, they were still putting up a final, desperate struggle after being pinned to the ground by the Fish-headed Monsters.

However, their situation was no better than that of the man with the abdominal wound.

If things continued like this, their resistance would only slightly delay the inevitable moment they were torn to shreds by the Mutant Beasts.

"H-help..."

The wounded Treasure Hunting Squad member’s strength was nearly gone.

Just then, a Fish-headed Monster loomed over his head and opened its massive jaw, revealing rows of sharp, fine teeth, ready to bite his head off in one go.

His continuous shouting had made his voice hoarse. At this moment, watching the Fish-headed Monster open its mouth and lean toward his head, the wounded Treasure Hunting Squad member knew it was all over.

So, he closed his eyes, preparing for death.

WHOOSH...

Just as the entire Treasure Hunting Squad was about to be wiped out, a sudden sound of something slicing through the air echoed.

The ordinary Fish-headed Monsters, overjoyed at the prospect of finishing off the humans before them, didn’t notice the strange sound at all.

However, the giant Fish-headed Monster, a Second Order Middle Stage creature, sensed something was wrong and turned its head toward the source of the sound.

In the giant Fish-headed Monster’s eyes, it saw an enormous, blazing Fireball, at least a meter and a half in diameter, fly out from the distant woods, heading straight for a cluster of ordinary Fish-headed Monsters.

"GURGLE...!!!"

Even from a distance, the giant Fish-headed Monster could clearly perceive the immense power contained within the blazing Fireball.

It shrieked in alarm at its underlings, telling them to flee.

Unfortunately, the incoming Fireball was incredibly fast. The instant it cried out for its underlings to retreat, the blazing projectile had already reached its target.

"Gurgle?" The clustered Fish-headed Monsters felt a sudden spike in temperature from behind and turned to look, confused.

BOOM... The blazing Fireball slammed into the Fish-headed Monster that had turned to look, causing a massive explosion.

The Fish-headed Monster that took a direct hit was instantly blown to pieces.

As for the others near the point of impact, they were struck by the explosion’s fierce shockwave and searing heat, leaving them with missing limbs or severe burns.

The Fish-headed Monster that had been about to bite off the wounded squad member’s head was startled by the sudden, massive explosion.

It stopped its attack and turned to look at the site of the blast.

The other Fish-headed Monsters attacking the rest of the Treasure Hunting Squad did the same, ceasing their assault.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...?! ! !"

When the ordinary Fish-headed Monsters on the scene saw the devastation at the blast site, with many of their comrades mangled and wailing in agony from the Fireball’s explosion, they were all stunned, unable to understand what had just happened.

RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE...

A rustling of leaves came from the woods where the Fireball had emerged, indicating that a figure was moving within.

Every gaze on the battlefield fell upon the small grove of trees. The ordinary Fish-headed Monsters looked on in confusion, while the giant Fish-headed Monster’s eyes showed a trace of fear.

As for the heavily injured members of the Treasure Hunting Squad, who no longer had the strength to resist, a glimmer of hope ignited in their once-despairing eyes.

They prayed in their hearts, hoping the unseen figure in the woods was human. Only then would they have a chance of being saved.

STEP, STEP, STEP...

The footsteps grew closer, and a figure emerged from the woods. The sunlight shone upon him, allowing everyone to see him clearly.

When the despairing members of the Treasure Hunting Squad saw the figure’s face, their eyes lit up with fervent hope, and they shouted in unison to their only lifeline.

"Help! Please, save us!!!"

Wielding a Spiritual Longsword in his right hand, Lin Li emerged from the woods. His gaze swept across the scene, finally settling on the giant Fish-headed Monster with the cultivation of a Second Order Middle Stage.

"It’s an expert at the Peak of the Second Order?!!!"

"We’re saved."

The captain of the Treasure Hunting Squad, who had been severely wounded by the giant Fish-headed Monster’s claw, muttered to himself as he perceived the incredibly powerful Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from Lin Li.

"GURGLE...!!!"

If the captain of the Treasure Hunting Squad, a Cultivator at the Second Order Initial Stage, could perceive the Spiritual Energy Wave of a Second Order Peak expert coming from Lin Li, then the giant Fish-headed Monster, which was stronger than him, naturally could as well.

Faced with a human Cultivator whose strength far surpassed its own, the giant Fish-headed Monster instinctively retreated, its eyes filled with fear.
