Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 97 Nan Rongni is seriously injured, and is rewarded with a resurrection spell (revised).

Two days later.

At the request of the Magic Association, Zhou Haoyu led the National Team to the designated 20th Street.

"I really don't know what our supervisor was thinking. The high tide is so dangerous, yet he still made us participate."

As soon as they entered the 20th block, Zhao Manyan began to complain.

The naval city beneath the surging tide is as densely populated with demons as the ancient capital's cataclysmic calamity.

If a monarch-level sea monster were to appear, the danger would be no less than that of the ancient capital's calamity.

However, it's unlikely that any monarch-level sea monsters will appear in this current tide. If a monarch-level sea monster were to appear, the Magic Association would definitely issue a prior notice.

Unless some powerful monarch manages to evade detection, it would undoubtedly be a major disaster.

Of course, this only applies to other people.

But for Zhou Haoyu, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, he could simply put on his armor and transform into an ancient king.

Before a necromantic emperor, anything below the level of a supreme monarch can be easily destroyed, while an invincible monarch requires a little effort to defeat.

Zhou Haoyu stood on the edge of the top floor of a tall building, turned around and said to everyone, "Just do your best in this demon-hunting operation, and leave the rest to me."

Under the immense pressure, even high-level mages can barely protect themselves, while mid-level mages could perish with the slightest carelessness.

"Yes, Captain!"

The dozen or so people present readily agreed, clearly prioritizing their lives over this training mission.

Zhou Haoyu took out his phone from his pocket, quickly glanced at the time, and said, "Everyone get ready, the big tide is coming."

Meanwhile, the hunters in the other buildings were also ready for battle.

Suddenly, a massive wave, tens of meters high, surged up from the sea surface.

This is a monstrous tide that has been sung by countless sirens; its surging height can easily sweep over the low dike at the very front.

When everyone looked up, it seemed as if a giant blue and white tongue had appeared in the sky, about to engulf the sea city in its belly!
"Baka! How can this tide be so huge!"

A middle-aged hunter shouted.

All the mages who participated in the district's demon-hunting team broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this scene.

If that giant wave were to crash down, it could probably destroy half of the naval city.

“Buzz!!!!”

As the waves crashed against the land and buildings, the deafening roar nearly ruptured everyone's eardrums.

Seawater flooded the city, and the surging waters also carried fragments of broken buildings from the past.

Before the blocks numbered sixteen and beyond could even begin to fight, all the buildings in those blocks had already suffered severe damage.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the outer streets were submerged, turning them into a vast expanse of water.

Fortunately, the building beneath their feet had been specially reinforced and barely withstood the impact of the high tide.

“Now that the area below has become a vast ocean, our area of ​​movement has been greatly reduced,” Ai Jiangtu said.

At this moment, torrents of water were still rushing through the streets below, causing many houses to shake violently.

“This is indeed a problem. If we fall into the sea, we will probably be attacked by a swarm of sea monsters,” Nan Jue said with a serious expression.

The siren's fighting power can be two or three times stronger in the water, so it's best to avoid underwater combat.

"Waaaaah~~Waaaah~~~"

Just then, the cry of an infant came from below, the sound filled with unease about the impending flood.

"Holy crap, whose kid got swept into the waves?!"

"I'll go save them."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nan Rongni jumped toward the building next to her.

Zhou Haoyu's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Now that he had made his choice, he wouldn't hold back. Not long after, Nan Rongni arrived not far from the child.

"Nan Rongni, don't come any closer!!!"

Hearing Jiang Yu's shout, Nan Rongni tried to use the vines to pull herself to the rooftop, but Bai Qiyao had already locked onto her.

A sharp, cone-shaped tentacle shot straight at Nan Rongni in an instant, piercing through her calf with lightning speed.

The tentacle pierced Nan Rongni's calf, pinning her to the building wall, causing her to bleed profusely.

"It still can't be turned on."

Zhou Haoyu was puzzled when he saw that the treasure chest on Nan Rongni's head could not be opened.

Could this not be considered a serious injury?
Zhou Haoyu made a grasping motion towards the white weeping demon, grabbing it in mid-air and crushing it.

Seeing their captain take action, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the captain reacted quickly.

But what no one noticed was that the silver gleam in Zhou Haoyu's eyes never disappeared.

Under the cover of his mental power, Zhou Haoyu quickly found several suitable warrior-level sea monsters and controlled them to attack Nan Rongni.

Although Bai Qiyao was crushed by Zhou Haoyu, Nan Rongni's calf was still pinned to the wall by the tentacles and she couldn't move at all.

At this moment, Guan Yu flew down from above and came to Nan Rong Ni's side.

“I’ll cut off these tentacles for you, and you can take it out yourself,” Guan Yu said.

Nan Rongni gritted her teeth and nodded, her face noticeably paler.

Just as Guan Yu was about to use his arm armor to cut off the tentacle, he suddenly saw a dark shadow rushing towards him from the water's surface.

The next moment, a four-meter-tall, dark-colored sea monster burst out of the water and charged directly at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's expression changed. He didn't have time to help Nan Rongni cut off the tentacles, so he used his arm armor to block the attack.

"How dare a mere ordinary general launch a sneak attack on me?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly and immediately began fighting the dark sea monster.

But that wasn't the end of it. Two more sea monsters, each at the level of a warrior general, leaped out of the water and immediately began to attack the official fish without saying a word.

Faced with three warrior-level sea monsters, Guan Yu was immediately put on the defensive and could only barely cope by using Wind Track.

Seeing this scene, Nan Rongni felt a surge of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble.

At this moment, another white weeping demon burst out of the water, its familiar tentacles once again stabbing towards Nanrong Ni.

This time, they weren't targeting her calves, but her abdomen!

A hint of fear flashed in Nan Rongni's eyes. She tried to dodge, but was restrained by the tentacles that had been there before.

This unexpected change happened so suddenly that Ai Jiangtu and the others didn't react. By the time they were about to cast a spell, it was already too late.

Nan Rongni's beautiful eyes were filled with fear and regret, and a stinging pain came from her abdomen.

Just when she thought she was about to die, Zhou Haoyu appeared in time and used telekinesis to stop the tentacles from piercing deeper.

[Opening conditions: Satisfied.]

【Opening.】

[Gain resurrection spell (one-time use).]

The silver light in Zhou Haoyu's eyes intensified, and the next moment the body of the White Crying Demon exploded.

Blood splattered on Nan Rongni's face, her eyes staring blankly at Zhou Haoyu's back.

Zhou Haoyu kept a close eye on Nan Rongni's situation. If Nan Rongni died, the treasure chest would be gone.

Moreover, if a team member is gone, he, as the captain, bears some responsibility.
