Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start
Chapter 263 Naval Battlefield
The next day, after discussing the battle plan for high tide, Mu Ningxue began to recount a strange incident she had encountered by chance.
"A drowning curse?!" Nan Rongni's face showed a hint of horror.
Mu Ningxue nodded. This morning, when she was taking a walk on the beach, she happened to witness a woman jumping over the embankment into the sea, and the moment she touched the water, she became a corpse that had already been drowning for an hour or two.
Furthermore, according to descriptions from some soldiers patrolling the area, this seems to be a terrible phenomenon that has been occurring in Donghai City for quite some time, albeit not very frequently.
They were thus ignored by the people of Donghai City.
"That sounds pretty creepy," Jiang Shaoxu said, shivering.
"That's right, and what's most terrifying about it is that it comes without any warning, without any foreshadowing, just like it happens randomly to the people of Donghai City," Mu Ningxue added.
"Even if it's a terrible epidemic, there's a reason for it. Is there really no clue at all about this drowning curse?" Nan Rongni asked.
Mu Ningxue shook her head. She had also inquired about a lot of information about the Drowning Curse, but no one knew the reason why.
"Is this all there is to it? It's like a ticking time bomb!" Jiang Shaoxu asked, puzzled.
"There's no way to control it. Drowning curses don't only happen in East Sea City. They occur in seas all over the world. The Hunter's Alliance is constantly increasing the bounty pools for drowning curses," Lin Chen said.
Lin Chen still had some recollection of the Drowning Curse. He knew that the problem stemmed from a parasitic sea monster. To find a solution, he would first need to find that parasitic sea monster. However, Lin Chen couldn't remember the specific details anymore. He would have to rely on Lingling's wisdom to solve the problem when he encountered it again.
"But we can't just ignore this because it's difficult. These are human lives at stake! You all know about the epidemic in Hangzhou, right? At first, everyone thought it didn't matter, but the incidence rate was high, and it even attracted the Silver Dome Lord from the western mountains," Jiang Yu said earnestly.
Everyone had heard a little about the epidemic in Hangzhou. After Jiang Yu mentioned it, everyone's attention was drawn from the Drowning Curse to the epidemic in Hangzhou, and they began to discuss it based on the information they knew. Lin Chen, who had personally experienced it, looked down at his phone, seemingly indifferent.
Early the next morning, Lin Chen and the others gathered in the lobby and arrived at the 20th block, which belonged to the previous 16 blocks and was very close to the sea.
Lin Chen and the others stood on the roof of a stone house, gazing at the distant sea, where the tides continued to surge upwards.
Initially, a hundred meters away from the low dike, a patch of mud and sand was exposed. Gradually, the seawater crashed against the foot of the dike, and each impact became more intense, with waves roaring and crashing like a torrential rain.
"These waves look different!" Zhao Manyan said.
"You don't need to tell me, the waves are almost reaching the sky, and they're about to knock the clouds down," Jiang Yu said in utter horror.
"Ordinary waves are usually only a dozen meters high, but these waves are already hundreds of meters high. It must be caused by many sea monsters chanting magic together. It seems that this is a huge tide, and the previous arrangements may not be useful anymore," Nan Jue said.
"Remember to adapt to the specific situation!" Ai Jiangtu reminded everyone.
"Boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, a colossal wave crashed down, snapping the rows of neat buildings closest to the low dike in Donghai City.
As seawater flooded the city, the surging waves, mixed with the broken sections of buildings ahead, amplified the already dangerous power of the waves.
"Now I know why all the buildings here look so new. They're constantly rebuilding! Every time there's a naval battle, they destroy it, destroy it again, and rebuild it again!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but curse.
"Look, what's that!" Nan Rongni pointed to the distant ocean tide and exclaimed in shock.
Following the direction Nan Rongni pointed, Lin Chen and the others saw another wave stretching to the horizon. Within the wave, they could see numerous black spots, densely distributed on the rolling waves. From a distance, it was impossible to tell what these were. Only when it approached Donghai City did Lin Chen and the others realize that they were sea monsters emerging from the waves.
"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Nan Jue unleashed a sonic spell, transmitting his voice through the clamor of the waves to every member of the National Team.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Chen immediately summoned Garurumon, Gatomon, and BlackGatomon. He then leaped onto Garurumon's back, while BlackGatomon jumped into Jiang Shaoxu's arms. Gatomon remained in place, ready to support the National Team members nearby.
"Everyone be careful! A giant wave is coming towards us, and sea monsters are coming on the waves too!" Ai Jiangtu warned again.
"Boom!"
A massive tidal wave surged in, and although its power was somewhat mitigated by the buildings in front, it still destroyed many structures.
"Twenty, so many more buildings have been destroyed, our area of operation has been compressed again!" Jiang Yu couldn't help but curse.
"Waaaaah~~~ Waaaah!" Just then, the cry of a baby came from below, the sound filled with unease about the impending tidal wave.
Immediately afterwards, a sleeping bag appeared in the surging waves, and the baby's voice came from there.
"Damn, who was so careless as to wash their own child into the waves?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed upon hearing the voice.
"I'll go save him!" Nan Rongni didn't think too much and immediately jumped to the building next to her. She quickly summoned magic vines to form a ladder and moved towards the big sleeping bag.
"Idiot! Come back!" Lin Chen shouted, but Nan Rongni ignored him and rushed toward the sleeping bag.
Just as Nan Rongni was about to touch the sleeping bag, Gatomon appeared beside her, knocking her back into the roof, and then slashed at the sleeping bag with its claw.
"What are you doing—"
Just as Nan Rongni was about to question Gatomon, she discovered that the sleeping bag contained not a baby.
Instead, it was a monster with a fleshy growth on its head, which died completely under Gatomon's attack.
"Are you an idiot?! Don't you think before you act? This is Sea Battle City. Who would bring their child here for no reason? Even if they did, the baby would have been eaten by the sea monsters long ago."
"Do you think we can wait for you to come and save us?" Lin Chen retorted angrily, utterly speechless.
