Shen Feng and Li Keyi saw the sea beasts floating on the water from above. From a distance, it looked as if the sea beasts had been killed in an instant. However, Li Keyi replied, "The sea beasts are enormous. With Jin Zijue's ability, it's possible for him to kill one sea beast, but with so many sea beasts floating like this, there's only one possibility: these sea beasts are merely stunned. They will wake up later. To be able to do this is truly remarkable."
As Shen Feng and Li Keyi were observing the battle on the sea, they suddenly noticed a group of esper abilities on Coral Island making a move. A dozen or so esper abilities, tied with ropes, were swimming into the water. Witnessing this, Shen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "It seems humans can unleash immense combat power in desperate situations. I wonder how many of them will survive in the end."
Li Keyi was also moved by the courage of these people and then said, "Resistance is futile at this point, yet these people haven't given up. It can only be said that they are going all out. If they can kill a large number of sea beasts, there's still hope of scaring away the rest. If they can't, alas, they are doomed. We won't even be able to collect their bodies then."
Gong Changfa charged ahead. He had personally witnessed his close friend Xun Yan being eaten by a shark. Given the shark's formidable digestive capabilities, Xun Yan was likely reduced to bones by now. The thought of this made Gong Changfa furious. His good brother had been killed, and how could he not seek revenge?
"Xun Yan, watch from the heavens, today I will avenge you!" Gong Changfa thought silently as he charged forward.
In front of Gong Changfa was a giant mutated lobster. Its markings were very conspicuous. If he wasn't mistaken, this lobster was called a Chinese Painted Lobster. After being electrocuted, a small half of its shell was exposed. Its carapace was its strongest defense; even machine gun fire might not leave a mark.
However, Gong Changfa was now extremely angry. He only wanted to avenge his good brother Xun Yan and couldn't bother with anything else. He wasn't afraid of such a high-defense sea beast. The berserk particle stream would destroy all cells, and even giant sea beasts would find it difficult to withstand such an attack.
"Learning from past mistakes, attack the lobster's head for a decisive blow." Gong Changfa began searching for the lobster's head. Two years ago, Gong Changfa had the opportunity to be the first esper in the world to kill a sea beast. However, because he didn't understand the structure of a squid, he attacked its torso instead of its head, failing to kill it. But now, the lobster's head was relatively easy to find.
Having found the lobster's head, Gong Changfa delivered a fierce punch. The berserk particle stream entered the lobster's body. The lobster, still in a dazed state, had its brain destroyed in that instant. Its nervous system was destroyed, signaling the lobster's death.
"There are other sea beasts, keep going!" Although he had killed a sea beast with one blow, Gong Changfa did not become complacent. There were still many sea beasts to deal with, and he needed to press on.
In another direction, Xiao Sheng had also found a large ray. The ray was floating on the water, occupying a large area, lying motionless. Xiao Sheng pinpointed the location of the ray's spine and prepared to strike. For vertebrates, the simplest method was to sever the spine. Once the spine was severed, most animals would die immediately.
Under the fierce storm, Xiao Sheng's use of his esper ability was greatly hindered because the storm would extinguish flames. Xiao Sheng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "We've reached the stage of a life-or-death struggle. I must persevere. I cannot hold everyone back."
With this thought, Xiao Sheng began to use his esper ability. A ball of blue flame appeared in his hand, with a deeper blue hue inside. When the rainwater fell on the flame, it was instantly vaporized, turning into white mist. The flame was now at two thousand degrees Celsius, and even seawater could not extinguish it for a time.
"Flame Burst!" Xiao Sheng shouted, punching the ray's back. Intense flames erupted, causing an explosion at the ray's spine. The ray's spine was subsequently blown apart, and Xiao Sheng completed the task of killing the sea beast.
Besides these two, other esper abilities also took action. It was Zhang Zi's domain on the sea, but she had almost died while being pursued earlier. Now, Zhang Zi was also using her esper ability. The surrounding sea surface was instantly frozen. Beside her was an anglerfish, also known as a lanternfish. The reason for this name was that in front of this fish's head was a luminous organ that looked like it was holding a lantern, hence the name.
"Turn into an ice sculpture now! How dare you chase me? Now you'll experience my power." Zhang Zi showed no mercy, using her esper ability to freeze the anglerfish in front of her into a block of ice.
From the sky, Shen Feng saw the brave fighting spirit of the group on the sea and felt a stir of ambition. He had already come to the sea, but he hadn't obtained any evolution crystals yet. Now, about ten sea beasts had been killed. The people below had no intention of excavating the evolution crystals. Shouldn't he take this opportunity to excavate them?
With this thought, Shen Feng decided to approach the sea surface and take a risk. He said to Li Keyi behind him, "Later, I will summon wind blades to cut open the heads of these mutated beasts. You use your light to search for evolution crystals. Let's take a risk and snatch the evolution crystals, understand?"
Li Keyi quickly tried to dissuade Shen Feng, "Don't lower your altitude so casually. We are high up in the sky, and the sea beasts cannot harm us. If we lower our altitude now, we will also be in danger. Don't take risks."
Shen Feng knew that Li Keyi was advocating for the safest course of action, but he couldn't stand it. Seeing the evolution crystals right before his eyes yet being unable to obtain them was pure torture. With this thought, Shen Feng continued, "I've made up my mind. Fortune favors the bold. This time, I must obtain the evolution crystals. You should help me. Don't you want to evolve too? If you don't have evolution crystals, how can you become stronger?"
Li Keyi thought about it and realized that to become stronger, she also needed to break through the evolutionary barrier, and to do that, she needed evolution crystals.
So, Li Keyi nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. But we must be very careful from now on, otherwise, if we are attacked by a sea beast, we will surely die."
After receiving Li Keyi's reply, Shen Feng began to lower his flying altitude. As he lowered his altitude, he unleashed "Fury of Winds," summoning countless wind blades. The wind blades then descended directly, cutting into the corpses of the killed sea beasts. The esper abilities fighting valiantly in the sea were almost furious when they witnessed this.
Everyone was already exhausted from fighting in this life-or-death situation, giving their all. When Shen Feng descended from the sky, everyone was initially delighted, thinking Shen Feng was coming down to fight alongside them. However, Shen Feng was now here to snatch the spoils of war. After lowering his altitude, he was directly cutting open the bodies of the sea beasts, searching for evolution crystals.
"Damn it, Shen Feng!" Xiao Sheng shouted in exasperation, "Not only are you not helping at this critical moment, but you're also snatching spoils of war! Are you even human?"
Shen Feng replied while searching the sea beast corpses for evolution crystals, "You people are truly ungrateful. If I hadn't pointed out the island to hide on earlier, you wouldn't be alive now. Yet, not only are you not grateful, you're also scolding me. Truly, the world has gone downhill."
Upon hearing this, the crowd wished they could tear Shen Feng to pieces. However, they couldn't attack Shen Feng now because the most important thing was to inflict damage on the sea beasts. Jin Zijue had exhausted himself for this offensive, and such a combat opportunity would not come again. Therefore, they had to live up to Jin Zijue's expectations and quickly kill the sea beasts.
After all, Shen Feng had no survival pressure in the sky. If he encountered danger, Shen Feng only needed to fly up. Therefore, Shen Feng also had the time and energy to search for evolution crystals at this moment.
Shen Feng, with Li Keyi, searched for evolution crystals. Shen Feng could make the glider hover in the air by using his esper ability, although it consumed a lot of stamina. However, for the sake of finding evolution crystals, it was worth the exertion.
Shen Feng first used wind blades to cut open the sea beast corpses. These sea beasts were not whales and did not have strong defensive capabilities, so their heads were quickly cut open. When they encountered a skull, Li Keyi used her laser knife to cut through it, continuously searching for evolution crystals.
After finding the evolution crystals, Li Keyi followed her usual practice and placed them in her backpack. The backpack already contained fragments of meteorites, and now the evolution crystals were also placed inside, making storage convenient.
Shen Feng and Li Keyi excavated five evolution crystals. It was roughly estimated that this would be enough to cultivate a hundred esper abilities. Shen Feng's face was full of smiles, realizing that his decision to stay at sea was indeed wise.
Next, Shen Feng piloted the glider towards another sea beast corpse. It was a dolphin, completely frozen, seemingly killed by Zhang Zi.
Just as Shen Feng summoned his wind blades to cut open the dolphin's head, the dolphin suddenly moved. Shen Feng was stunned, thinking, "Wasn't the dolphin already killed by Zhang Zi?"
Before he could think further, the dolphin let out a sharp cry. The sound waves were immense, instantly making Shen Feng and Li Keyi dizzy. Then, the dolphin swam downwards rapidly. Suddenly, its flat tail swung, and its massive fluke struck the glider, instantly shattering it and sending it flying.
