The passengers in the ship's cabin were thrown about like toys.
Some passengers couldn't endure the torment and vomited directly.
The monster's attack did not stop, continuously lashing the cruise ship that had intruded into its territory.
The exterior of the cruise ship was already in tatters, riddled with craters caused by the monster.
Fortunately, the steel-built cruise ship was incredibly resilient and was not directly torn in half by the monster.
Thus, the passengers inside the cabin were still safe for the moment.
But the passengers were already terrified to the point of madness, with some even bursting into tears.
"I'm still young, I don't want to die! Why did I encounter such a monster, why!?"
"I should never have boarded this cruise ship. Being out of contact was bad enough, but to encounter such a monster."
"We finally discovered a new continent, will we even survive?"
Everyone held on tightly to anything that could secure their bodies, trying to steady themselves.
Otherwise, if the cruise ship kept rocking back and forth, they would die from the motion before being eaten by the monster.
Lin Xue held her younger brother with one hand and supported her grandfather with the other, her expression already filled with despair.
Looking at the colossal monster outside the ship, only fear remained in her heart.
"Sister, are we going to die here? I'm so scared..." Lin Zihao said, his lips pressed together.
"No, don't be afraid!" Lin Xue comforted him.
In reality, she knew that the chance of survival when encountering such a monster was almost zero.
This was because it was beyond her comprehension. She couldn't understand at all why such a huge and terrifying monster existed.
Lin Wencheng, being old, found it difficult to endure the constant shaking.
However, he persevered and said:
"Don't be afraid, that monster cannot directly damage the Nix, it can only lash out, causing the cruise ship to sway."
"As long as the cruise ship can escape the monster's attack range, we will be safe!"
When the monster appeared, he was shocked.
He never expected to encounter a giant beast that only existed in movies.
But he quickly calmed down and began to observe the monster carefully.
He discovered that although the monster was terrifying, its strength was limited, and it couldn't directly tear apart the cruise ship.
Therefore, as long as the Nix held out until it escaped the monster's attack range, they would be saved.
At this moment, the captain's voice came through the ship's broadcast.
"Dear passengers, we have encountered an unprecedented monster. It is enormous and highly aggressive, and we are completely unable to resist."
"However, fortunately, the Nix is very sturdy and can withstand the monster's attacks, and it can hold on for a while longer."
"So, please do not panic, passengers. We are only two kilometers away from land and will soon escape this monster's territory!"
At this point, the captain understood that they had intruded into the monster's territory.
That was why they had attracted the monster's attack.
Hearing the captain's words, the passengers in the cabin did not feel relieved; they were still filled with terror.
Anyone encountering a monster of this magnitude would find it difficult not to feel fear.
The international bodyguards escorting the cruise ship did not dare to take up arms and attack the monster on the deck.
They were afraid of being whipped down by a tentacle and turned into a bloody pulp.
The sea beast's attacks continued unabated, but the cruise ship was sturdy enough to withstand the lashing of its tentacles.
...
In the distance, on the sea.
The deputy general and the other three on the wooden boat watched the scene unfold, their eyes wide with disbelief!
What were they seeing?
A colossal iron ship, comparable in size to the Tianwei, being battered and torn apart by a Xuan-level sea beast?
What was going on?!
The deputy general suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him, causing him to hallucinate.
Chen Wu's mouth hung open, unable to believe it.
"My lord, is that truly just a Xuan-level sea beast?"
He suspected that the eight-tentacled sea beast was not Xuan-level, but perhaps Sky-level or even Beast King level.
Otherwise, why would the iron ship, which they thought was so powerful, be so fragile?
The deputy general confirmed again and was certain it was just an ordinary Xuan-level sea beast.
This left him completely bewildered, struggling to understand the situation.
"What is happening? Does that iron ship have no defensive formations?"
"A simple Xuan-level formation can block a Xuan-level sea beast, why didn't they deploy one?"
He finally understood that this iron ship, which had come from the depths of the endless sea, possessed no extraordinary power whatsoever.
There were no defensive formations, no offensive formations, nothing.
To build such an enormous iron ship and not even imbue it with a single formation or restriction.
Were these people insane?
Without the enhancement of extraordinary power, wasn't it just an ordinary iron ship?
What use was its size?
It was not as good as the small wooden boat they were standing on.
Their small wooden boat, at least, was imbued with a high-grade Xuan-level formation.
It could withstand an Earth-level sea beast for tens of seconds.
And that iron ship couldn't even withstand the attack of a Xuan-level sea beast.
A typical case of looking impressive but being useless, all show and no substance!
The only novel aspect was the method of propulsion without using spiritual energy.
Chen Wu suddenly said:
"My lord, could they be doing this intentionally, to deceive us?"
He found it too unbelievable.
An iron ship so large, unable to withstand even a Xuan-level sea beast, was truly preposterous.
This was beyond his comprehension.
After all, the use of spiritual energy was extremely common in the Great Wilderness.
Even the horse-drawn carriages used by mortals would be imbued with one or two defensive formations to ward off beast attacks.
The deputy general also found it preposterous, frowning.
"It's possible, but it's also possible that they are indeed all mortals, with no extraordinary powers whatsoever."
They continued to observe. At this moment, the iron ship had already escaped the Xuan-level sea beast's territory.
The Xuan-level sea beast seemed to want to pursue further, but when it attempted to lash out with its tentacles again, it couldn't break through the ship's hull, so it gave up.
When the passengers on the cruise ship saw the monster continuing its pursuit, their hearts leaped into their throats, filled with despair.
Fortunately, the monster did not persist and eventually chose to abandon the chase.
This caused all the passengers to heave a sigh of relief.
"We're safe! We're not dead, we've escaped!" everyone cried with joy.
When the monster attacked the cruise ship, almost everyone thought they were going to perish.
They never expected to survive!
Once out of danger, everyone felt their stomachs churning violently, their bile already overflowing from the constant shaking.
A group of people began to vomit, their expressions contorted in discomfort.
A few others, who hadn't held on to anything, were tossed about, their bones shattered by impacts, lying on the ground and screaming.
The cruise ship limped towards the shore, its exterior battered and beginning to leak water.
"Everyone, we must disembark immediately. The cruise ship is damaged and will sink soon!"
The captain's voice rang out, filled with urgency!
