Chapter 245: Encountering the Wave Devourer Again

The two of them rode on a raft and went down the river. The gurgling river seemed to be telling an ancient and mysterious story. As time went by, they gradually reached the area between Biyun Peak and Shengxian Island.

Shen Yun looked out into the distance, and the scenery on both sides was picturesque, with emerald green mountains rolling up and down, connecting with the clear sky. The Biyun Peak was towering into the clouds, the peaks were steep, and the clouds and mists were lingering in between, just like a fairyland, making people yearn for it. And Shengxian Island was looming in the distance, like a bright pearl in the sea, emitting a mysterious light.

The river sparkled in the sunlight, gleaming with golden light. A breeze blew over the water, causing ripples to appear on the surface, which gently slapped against the side of the boat, making a crisp sound.

"I've been walking for so long and haven't encountered that big guy. Could it be that it doesn't dare to come out?" Lin Ruyi put away the long sword in her hand that was flashing with cold light, frowned slightly, and walked to a chair nearby and sat down with a little fatigue. Her hair was a little messy due to the wind, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Shen Yun looked around vigilantly and responded, "It shouldn't be that bad. This area is its territory. Where else can it go?"

The "it" they were talking about was naturally the dreaded Wave-Eating Beast.

The waters sparkled, the spiritual energy was like mist, the spiritual plants in the water grew luxuriantly, and the spiritual minerals under the water flashed with strange light. Lin Ruyi looked at the rich waters and continued, "The spiritual energy here is sufficient and the resources are rich. It is not easy to find another similar water. Besides, there must be big monsters entrenched in other waters. If it is not necessary, this beast will definitely not leave this water."

At this time, a breeze blew, rustling the leaves on the shore. Lin Ruyi and her companions' clothes fluttered in the wind, and their expressions revealed a hint of anxiety and uneasiness. Occasionally, a bird flew across the sky, but quickly disappeared into the distant horizon. The water surface was as calm as a mirror, but no one knew where the wave-eating beast was hiding under the bottomless water, waiting to give them a fatal blow.

Lin Ruyi sighed softly, stood up again, her hand unconsciously tightened around the hilt of the sword, her eyes firmly fixed on the seemingly calm water, as if she wanted to pull the Wave-Devouring Beast out from the bottom of the water with her eyes.

Lin Ruyi's breath became sharper and sharper. Along the way, she had experienced more than a dozen battles of varying sizes.

Every head-on battle with a monster is a battle between life and death.

Every battle is a baptism, allowing her to have a better understanding of her own strength.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi were sitting leisurely on the raft, moving slowly along the river. Shen Yun raised the exquisite wine glass in his hand and was about to take a sip to enjoy the moment of tranquility. Suddenly, a dangerous breath came without warning.

"Ruyi, be careful." Shen Yun shouted softly, his voice urgent and decisive. Without having time to drink the wine in the glass, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Ruyi's slender waist. The action was smooth and flowing, without any drag.

Then he tapped the raft with his toes, and a powerful force instantly erupted, carrying Lin Ruyi up into the sky. Just as they left, a huge mouth appeared under the raft without warning. The huge mouth was full of sharp fangs and exuded a terrifying bloody smell.

The huge mouth suddenly closed, instantly biting the raft into pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere. If Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi were half a second slower, they would have been buried in this bloody mouth.

The two of them were suspended in mid-air, Lin Ruyi's hair was flying in the wind, and she still had a frightened look on her face. Shen Yun had a serious look on his face, hugged Lin Ruyi tightly, and stared at the terrifying beast that appeared from nowhere below.

The air around seemed to freeze at this moment, only the river water was still rushing, but it was also stirred into turbulent waves by the appearance of the giant beast.

Seeing that the surprise attack failed, the underwater monster gradually revealed its entire body. Its huge body emerged from the water like a small mountain, splashing huge water. It was the Wave Devourer that had fought with Shen Yun before. Its body was still covered with scars left after the battle with Shen Yun. Those scars were crisscrossed, some of which were still oozing blood, but it did not reduce its ferocity at all.

The Wave Devourer roared, the sound was deafening, as if it was going to tear the sky and the earth apart. "Boy, I let you go last time, but you still dare to chase me now? You really don't take me, the Wave Devourer, seriously." Its eyes were like burning fireballs, spewing anger and murderous intent. Each fang was like a sharp giant sword, flashing a cold light in the sun.

As it roared, the river water raised layers of huge waves, which kept hitting the river bank, making a shocking sound. The surrounding birds were startled and fled in all directions, and the beasts were frightened and hid in the depths of the dense forest. The scales on the body of the wave-eating beast reflected strange colors under the reflection of the water, which made people shudder. Its strong and powerful tail swung violently, bringing up a gust of wind, blowing Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi's clothes.

Lin Ruyi glanced at Shen Yun, her beautiful eyes revealing courage and determination, and then asked: "Let's go together?"

Shen Yun was slightly startled, then came back to his senses in an instant. He gently patted Lin Ruyi's waist, which felt quite good, without a trace of fat.

Ahem, back to the topic, Shen Yun patted Lin Ruyi's waist lightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with confidence and calmness: "You just stand aside and hold the fort for me. If this beast wants to run, help me stop it. This day next year will be the anniversary of this beast's death." His voice was not loud, but it revealed a resolute momentum.

Lin Ruyi nodded slightly, a hint of trust flashed in her eyes. She gently broke free from Shen Yun's arms and landed lightly on the water not far away. Then she rose and fell a few times and moved farther away.

Shen Yun took a deep breath, staring at the frenzied Wave Devourer in front of him with a sharp gaze. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he exuded a fearless aura. The sunlight shone on him, outlining his tall silhouette, as if he was a god of war about to go into battle.

The Wave Devourer felt Shen Yun's provocation and became more and more angry. White water vapor kept coming out of its mouth, and the surrounding river water was stirred up even more violently. But Shen Yun was not moved at all, standing firmly on the spot, waiting for the best time to attack.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you just showed up now. I'll give you a ride today." Shen Yun looked at the roaring Wave Devourer below, his expression grim, and said softly. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, and it could be clearly heard on the noisy river surface.

Following Shen Yun's call: "Jinghong."

The Jinghong Sword standing upright beside him suddenly trembled. The sword body emitted a faint light, and the patterns on the scabbard also began to glow slightly.
