Wizard's Journey

Chapter 776 The World of Shallow Waves

Whoosh...

Three crescent moons hung high in the sky in different directions, and the sound of waves became the main melody of the world. Grimm, along with the Thousand-Eyed Crab, Little Eight, and the Mysterious Ten-Thousand-Headed Bird, arrived in this unfamiliar world of rules through the world teleportation array.

"The Thousand-Eyed Crab, is this the world?"

The Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab gradually returned to its original size of over thirty meters on the spatial fortress. Its red fur fluttered, and one of its ice elemental claws gleamed fiercely. One after another, the eyes on its shell closed in blissful intoxication, savoring the high-purity humidity and faint fishy smell in the space. Every cell in its body was cheering with joy, and its body gradually relaxed.

This is the warm and safe feeling of returning to one's mother's embrace.

"Yes, Lord Green, this is it. This is where I was born. All my memories of that time are of this beach in the world..."

The Thousand-Eyed Crab spoke with joy, its eyes gradually welling up with tears, its voice choked with emotion.

So many years have passed, even the Thousand-Eyed Cancer itself thought it could never return, and could only follow the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard's countless slave legions to die in one demon-hunting expedition after another, but it never expected that it would actually return again, back home.

Even every breath of air you take here feels like it's nourishing your own cells!

The Thousand-Eyed Crab gazed at the tiny, flowing, seven-colored runes standing majestically atop the fortress, its joy beyond words. It exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much..."

Little Eight on Green's shoulder gave a displeased "humph" and ignored the Mystery Thousand-Headed Bird.

The Mystery Bird, with its thirty heads, curiously looked around. The rules of this world, so different from those of the Wizarding World and the Shadow Mystery World, made the Mystery Bird feel very novel.

"Okay, that's good."

Green nodded.

Behind Grimm, a short-haired black witch landed, her cicada wings tucked into her wizard robes. Her voice was hesitant and nervous as she said, "Honorable Grimm, the Shadow of Despair, our mentor is currently escorting the world's ruler to a meeting at the Wizarding Alliance. He is on his way and unable to come. Is there anything we wizards here can do for you?"

In the distance, due to Grimm's arrival, several second-level wizards were urgently summoned from the fortress laboratory and rushed over. They sensed the fluctuations in the will of the wizarding world here and were filled with fear and surprise.

"A Wizarding Alliance meeting?"

Green nodded in surprise, then waved to the garrisoned wizards to calm down, and said in a low voice, "I need to find traces of the Thousand-Eyed Crab clan in this shallow, surging world. Which direction should I go?"

The world where the Thousand-Eyed Crab resides has various names. It was only after inquiring at the Seven Rings Holy Tower for a while that Grimm finally confirmed that the world was the Shallow Waves World marked on the Seven Rings Holy Tower's world teleportation array.

The wizards exchanged glances. A middle-aged male wizard with a somewhat weathered look beneath his golden hair stepped forward. He had broad shoulders, wore a gray wizard's robe, and held a withered wooden magic staff in one hand. He bowed to Grimm and introduced, "Master, the Thousand-Eyed Crab was once one of the most powerful primitive creature groups in the Shallow Wave World. They were highly sought-after soul slave resources by the great holy-stigma wizards of the wizarding world and were widely distributed in this world."

As he spoke, the wizard's crystal ball emitted a data screen, which displayed changes in some of the world's rules and data over thousands of years.

"However, when the rules of the Wizarding World were integrated into the rules of the Shallow Tide World, the resulting seasonal changes and adjustments to the gravitational pull of the lunar tides led to a sharp decline in the number of the Thousand-Eyed Crab population, which had a simple lifestyle and poor adaptability. For nearly two thousand years, they have no longer been a slave resource population that this world regularly exploits in the Wizarding World."

With a furrowed brow beneath his mask of truth, Green suddenly turned and pointed at the thousand-eyed giant crab in the sky after a long while.

"So, based on your experience, is it possible to find another race of this caliber, or even slightly lower, in this world to survive and reproduce?"

The male wizard gazed at the massive and powerful body of the Thousand-Eyed Crab, which was over thirty meters high in the sky. As a second-level wizard, he couldn't help but swallow hard and take a deep breath.

"Master, according to records, there probably weren't many Thousand-Eyed Crabs of this caliber in ancient times. This is truly a miracle in the evolutionary history of Thousand-Eyed Crabs. After the Wizarding World ruled the Shallow Wave World, Thousand-Eyed Crabs were noticed for their large population size and powerful vitality, rather than their evolutionary potential. Such a powerful Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab is probably extremely rare even in the evolutionary history of Thousand-Eyed Crabs. If you intend to use this Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab's offspring as the guardian of the academy, then perhaps..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba perked up.

"Waaaaaah, did you hear that?! Did you hear that?! Serves you right for ignoring Eighth Master and making fun of him back then. Now you're going to be childless! Waaaaaah..."

Green glared at Little Eight, who then awkwardly flew to the side of the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird.

Green floated onto the back of the incredibly tense Thousand-Eyed Crab and comforted it, "It's alright. Even if you can't find a suitable partner to reproduce with in your home world, there must be partners in the wizarding world who have evolved to this level as well as you. I won't forget what I promised you."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Green."

The thousand-eyed crab's voice betrayed its disappointment.

Xiao Ba, caught off guard, yelled, "If all else fails, we can just treat this as a sightseeing trip! Xiao Wan and I will wait for you here. The waves and ripples here are quite fun!"

The Thousand-Eyed Crab ignored Xiao Ba and flew out of the Crimson Moon Space Fortress in the sky, gradually disappearing into the horizon where white clouds and blue sea meet.

The world of shallow waves is a vast ocean, but without deep waters. Small beaches are scattered in every corner of the world, where large numbers of crustaceans gather.

This is the world of crustacean evolution, including snails, shellfish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles!

The sky is filled with three crescent moons that alternate in a cycle, and every few hourglasses a tide occurs, creating a very high tidal frequency that provides a favorable environment for the evolution of amphibians and crustaceans living here.

Suddenly, the huge shadow of the Thousand-Eyed Crab descended from the sky, and in an instant, the once vibrant beach became extremely quiet. Shrimp, various crabs, and turtles quickly fled to the nearby sea, while those that were slower retreated into their hard shells and remained motionless.

boom!

The Thousand-Eyed Crab landed on the shallows, its heavy body creating several large craters.

The massive body of the Thousand-Eyed Crab, over thirty meters long, stands in stark contrast to the fist-sized, palm-sized, and head-sized shelled creatures that can be found everywhere on the beach.

Seven-colored runes flowed across his blurry, semi-transparent body as Grimm floated lightly onto the beach of this primitive world devoid of intelligent creatures. He slowly bent down and picked up a red-spotted seashell.

Extremely frightened, the shell stretched out countless tiny tentacles, struggling and tugging at Green's fingers. Then, with a "plop," it sprayed a stream of irritating mucus onto Green's face.

Beneath the surface of truth, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes, revealing a deep, intrigued expression.

With a flash of the wizard's shield, the harmless slime slid off. However, to Green's surprise, the creature had actually crawled out of the shell, landing on the beach like a soft-bodied creature and quickly swimming towards the sea.
