But no matter what, he was a National Government Team member, and Lin Chen couldn't just stand by and watch him die!
Nan Rongni, who found Lin Chen completely uninterested in her, couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment in her heart; her gaze swept over Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu, and a touch of envy arose within her!
Lin Chen might have been a bit of a scoundrel, but he gave a complete sense of security!
"Everyone, maintain your formation and don't act on your own! The sea monster army is here!" Just then, Ai Jiangtu spoke up to remind them.
After the White Weeping Demon was destroyed, many creatures with fan-shaped spiny fins on their heads appeared below. Their bodies were green, with rough skin, and their lower halves were similar to the previous White Weeping Demon, frog-like, able to swim in water and stand on land!
They didn't have the White Weeping Demon's tentacles, but their front paws were all gear-shaped, and the sharp sawtooth front paws, if they slashed at a person, would surely cut off even the bones!
"Those without scales should be easier to deal with!" Nan Jue immediately analyzed.
Sea monsters are also divided by level. Generally, even if a Servant-level sea monster has scales, they are mostly for show and don't provide much defense, relying mainly on their flesh!
War General Level sea monsters have extremely rough bodies, with incredibly tough and lumpy skin, and certain parts of their bodies often directly transform into weapons, making their close-quarters combat ability quite terrifying.
Commander-level sea monsters mostly have scales and armor, their entire bodies comparable to wearing metal clothing. Ordinary Intermediate-Tier magic of average power is like scratching an itch through a boot, posing no threat!
From the flesh of this group of Sawtooth Green Goblins, one could roughly judge that they were a group of War General Level creatures.
It wasn't so strenuous for them to deal with War General Level creatures, but before everyone's faces could show relief, more heads emerged from the seawater filling the entire wide street. Because their heads all had fan-shaped spines, looking down, they looked like large sea urchins floating on the surface, their spines almost covering the entire wide street.
This wide street was to be guarded by their team, and as these spines became denser, everyone's mood also grew heavy!
Ants can kill an elephant; in the face of absolute numbers, how many can these Intermediate and Advanced-Tier Mages solve?
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
The Sawtooth Green Goblins, relying on their astonishing jumping ability, directly surged out of the water. They climbed onto the narrow balconies of the buildings, which were originally meant for Mages to stand on, but now they were completely occupied by these ferocious monsters with sawtooth hands. Their gray eyes stared with deathly glares, full of a desire for slaughter!
"Form up!" Nan Jue, seeing the sea monsters actively attacking, quickly commanded loudly.
The team members immediately dispersed to the rooftops of the other buildings, not too far apart from each other, while also having enough standing space.
The wide street was about five hundred meters long, and the distance between buildings in the same row was about ten to three meters, while the distance from street to street was about forty meters. Now, both the narrow passages between buildings in the same row and the wide thoroughfares of the streets were filled with seawater, reaching a height of about eight meters, and the seawater was still rising.
The Sawtooth Green Goblins are amphibious; they can even climb directly onto rooftops to fight humans.
"Sawtooth Green Goblins specialize in close combat, enjoy dismemberment, and are not venomous, but one needs to be careful of the fan-shaped sea urchin spines on their heads, which have a paralyzing effect on human nerves. Once pricked, the body will be unable to move..." Jiang Yu quickly relayed the information about the Sawtooth Green Goblins to everyone.
Ai Jiangtu looked around, roughly noting the number of Sawtooth Green Goblins that had climbed up in his mind.
"None!"
"Do they have any demonic magic?"
"They can walk on water and spit water, but no special demonic magic!" Jiang Yu said.
Nan Jue closed her eyes, as if concentrating on listening.
After about three seconds, Nan Jue opened her eyes and said to Ai Jiangtu, "There are thirty-seven that have climbed up, and the ones in the water are temporarily uncountable!"
As Nan Jue's command sounded, everyone began to stand ready, and with a series of actions, Nan Jue demonstrated the power of the Sound Element.
Lin Chen, however, did not make a move. The National Government Team members were more than enough to deal with these minor monsters, and Lin Chen was not a nanny; this was everyone's training.
Nan Jue's ear twitched slightly, and she hastily used her communicator to tell Mu Ningxue, "Mu Ningxue, a group of Sawtooth Green Goblins has appeared near you!"
Mu Ningxue was on the opposite street, and she was the only one at her location, seemingly surrounded by those few Sawtooth Green Goblins.
The building floors were covered in frost, and the rooftop was covered with a thin layer of ice. When Mu Ningxue released her Basic and Intermediate-Tier magic, there was no chanting or drawing to be seen at all; the ice formation could be completed in an instant, and its intensity and coverage area were about twice as strong as that of an average Ice Mage.
After Lin Chen heard Nan Jue's words, he used Teleportation to arrive at Mu Ningxue's side. The current Mu Ningxue was already far from what she used to be. Seeing Mu Ningxue's effortless manner, Lin Chen leisurely stayed by her side and did not make a move.
Upon seeing Lin Chen's arrival, Mu Ningxue simply smiled faintly at him, and then once again transformed into a Frost War Goddess!
A moment later, all the Sawtooth Green Goblins on Mu Ningxue's side were eliminated one by one by Mu Ningxue.
Just as Mu Ningxue stopped, she heard Lin Chen say, "We're surrounded; let's contract our formation!"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. They had clearly killed so many sea monsters, so how could they still be surrounded?
Just as everyone was confused, Nan Jue's serious voice also came from her side: "We're surrounded, don't panic!"
At this moment, Nan Jue was also somewhat puzzled in her heart. Why hadn't she, a Sound Element Mage, detected it yet, but Lin Chen had noticed the abnormality first?
Clearly, now was not the time to dwell on it. In the blink of an eye, the members of the National Government Team gathered together.
At the same time, figures covered in green lumpy skin leaped out from under the water. Relying on their jumping ability, they quickly reached the rooftops where the humans were entrenched, their sawtooth blades rotating, emitting a piercing sound.
Their eyes stared at the crowd distributed on different rooftops, their pupils filled with ferocity and madness.
Oceanic demon races are more intelligent than many other demon creatures, especially high-bloodline sea monsters.
It was unknown when it started, but the Pacific Ocean's sea monsters began to consider killing humans an supreme honor. Some sea monsters would even carve marks on their scales to count how many humans they had killed, like the rank insignia on the shoulders of soldiers and officers in a guard unit!
The previous Sawtooth Green Goblins were clearly sent out to probe, to figure out exactly how many humans were in this area. Once the intelligence was gathered, they would immediately launch a siege, attempting to annihilate the human Mages here!
