The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

"Thank you, thank you for saving us. My name is Jiang Yuan, and this is my sister, Jiang Rui."

The group from Biyun Resort approached, and Chairman Wu looked them up and down before asking:

"Where are you from?"

“My brother and I ran a small martial arts school in Bailu City. After we traveled here, we have been active in the southwest of the original Bailu City, living with a group of awakened people.”

"These are our companions who live with us," Jiang Yuan said, pointing to three other trembling ordinary people.

"Just two days ago, a strong wind suddenly blew up where we live, the temperature dropped, the water level rose sharply, and... a monster that looks a lot like a water monkey appeared in the water."

He pointed to the dark, churning water outside the window: "The important information I'm referring to is about those water monkeys that can move quickly in the water. They look like humans, but they're not. They're covered in slippery scales, have thin, long limbs, and claws as sharp as knives."

"They can swim as fast as fish in the water, and they specialize in dragging people underwater. They can also ride sea beasts. Since they appeared, many awakened people in our area have been killed by them..."

Before Jiang Yuan could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

"Wow~"

The water not far from the office building suddenly exploded.

A dark shadow burst out of the water, shooting out several greenish things that carried a strong fishy smell, heading straight for the five people who had just been rescued.

The creature was nearly two meters long, humanoid in shape, covered in slippery, dark green scales, with webbed fingers and sharp bone spurs at its joints.

Its head is long and narrow, with deep-set eyes that gleam with an eerie green light. It has a large mouth filled with fine, sharp teeth, and is emitting a strange "crunching" sound.

The monster was so fast and its movements were so sudden that most people didn't have time to react.

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Han Ning's eyes; he reacted the fastest.

With a thought, several vines guarding the side blocked the flying object.

What was thrown out were several strands of dark green, almost black, seaweed.

At the same time, the vines lashed out fiercely at the water monkey that was lunging at them.

Galala~

The vines lashed at the monster's body, spreading a chill.

The immense force jolted it off balance, halting its attack.

"Hooo!"

Snowcake let out a low growl, and the three-colored crystal scales on its forehead shimmered with light. A condensed beam of three-colored light shot out, aiming straight for the water monkey's head.

The water monkey was exceptionally agile, twisting its body strangely to narrowly avoid a fatal blow. The three-colored beam of light grazed its shoulder, leaving a trail of dark green blood.

"Hiss!"

The injured water monkey let out a piercing scream, its eerie green eyes fixed on Han Ning and Xuebing, filled with resentment.

It seemed to realize that the group of people in front of it were not to be trifled with, and its body suddenly shrank back.

Outside, a white wave broke through the murky water.

The water monkey with a shoulder injury leaped onto the back of a three-meter-long mutated shark, its slender claws gripping the shark's dorsal fin like a cavalryman riding a warhorse.

The shark thrashed its tail wildly, stirring up churning foam, and charged toward the depths of the flood at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary boats.

"Can you escape?"

Han Ning snorted coldly, and his body erupted with dazzling lightning.

Crackling blue and white electric snakes coiled and leaped, enveloping his entire body.

To everyone's horror, his body rapidly shrank and deformed.

"Hey!"

An electric arc tears through the air.

In his Razer Sable form, Han Ning treads on water with his four claws, unleashing a surge of violent electricity that ripples across the surface.

In the next instant, he transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting out close to the surging floodwaters.

call out!

In his Razer Sable form, Han Ning strode swiftly across the water, gaining a secondary acceleration with each step using the repulsive force between the electric current and the water surface.

Wherever it passed, it left a trail of brief, bright white electric burn marks on the water's surface.

The distance between him and the water monkey riding the shark was shrinking at a visible rate.

Sensing the terrifying pressure coming from behind, the water monkey screamed in panic and desperately pounded on the shark's head.

The great white shark, in pain, increased its speed again, almost leaping out of the water.

But it was all in vain!

"Zzz~ Boom!"

When they were less than five meters away, Han Ning, who had transformed into a Thunder Marsh, leaped into the air.

The accumulated lightning power around him was compressed and condensed in mid-air into a dazzling white lightning claw.

The water monkey turned around in horror, only to see a bolt of lightning that devoured everything.

Lightning claws flew out of his hand.

A violent electric current pierced through the water monkey's chest, exploded its back, and, with its remaining force, pierced the skull of the shark beneath it.

[Druid growth progress +105, current Lv7, 2861/4000]

In the blinding flash of lightning, the water monkey's scaly body convulsed violently, its eerie green eyes instantly dimmed and turned black, and it was carbonized along with the shark's skin beneath it by the power of lightning.

The lightning subsided, and Han Ning returned to human form. He picked up the two corpses, lightly stepped on the water to gain leverage, and landed steadily back in the office building.

The whole process took only a few seconds, so fast that everyone's breath caught in their throats.

"Resolved? Resolved?" Vice President Zhao's voice was dry.

This... Mr. Han hasn't made a move in just a few days, and his strength has become increasingly unfathomable.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, from the monster's appearance to its disappearance, taking only two or three seconds.

"Is this the monster in the water you were talking about?" Chairman Wu asked with a grave expression, looking at the still-shaken Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan nodded vigorously, still shaken: "Yes, it's them. There's more than one of them. They're quite intelligent; they can ambush and launch surprise attacks."

Chairman Wu frowned.

After a group of black snake monsters left, an ugly-looking water monkey appeared.

Moreover, these things seem to be even more troublesome than the Black Serpent Monster.

Han Ning took the iron axe handed to him by Xu Ming and dug out two energy crystals, one black and one blue, one large and one small, from the two corpses.

He gazed at the crystal in his hand, which was swirling with strange energy, and said:

"Take a break first, and tell us in detail what you know, especially about the number of these water monkeys, their habits, weaknesses, and so on."

Chapter 140 The Little Conch Shell

"Help! Help me..."

The conversation with Jiang Yuan and Jiang Rui lasted less than a minute. In the dim environment of the wind and hail in the distance, another series of desperate cries for help came!

"Here we go again!" Chairman Wu's expression changed, and he immediately looked into the distance.

Han Ning's golden tiger eyes gleamed, piercing through the rain and pinpointing the source of the sound.

In the fast-flowing floodwaters, about a dozen figures were clinging desperately to floating construction debris, struggling frantically in the surging waves.

Several dark figures silently emerged from beneath the water's surface around them.

puff!

An arm with sharp claws emerged from the water and dragged a drowning person who was calling for help into the water.

Suddenly, the dark figures that had been attacking the drowning person stopped, poked their heads out of the water, and stuck out their dark green tongues, licking the water a few times.

Then, they all turned their attention to the office building.

"We've been discovered. Prepare for battle."

Han Ning gave a low shout.

"Roar!" The three-colored crystal scale on Xuebing's forehead flashed, and an invisible spiritual shriek spread out, attempting to intimidate those menacing black shadows.

hum~

The water monkey, struck by the mental shock, experienced a brief slowing of its movements.

at this time.

"Woo~~~"

A deep, eerie conch shell sound pierced through the gale and echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

The conch shell's sound carried a peculiar rhythm that sent chills down one's spine and made one feel disoriented, while simultaneously calming the frenzied water monkeys.

A giant toad, the size of a small car, emerged from the water and floated on the surface.

Its skin was dull and rough, covered with bumps, and its cold eyes were devoid of emotion.

A figure stood on the toad's broad back.

The figure was about 1.7 meters tall and had a human-like shape. Its appearance was no different from other water monkeys, but unlike other water monkeys, this monster was holding a musical instrument that looked like a twisted, pale white conch shell and was playing it.

"Woo-wah, woo-wah~"

As the conch shell sounded, the water monkeys, who had been disturbed by the Snow Cake's mental scream, became very excited.

They rushed towards the office building without regard for anything else.

Beneath the surface, several mutated, monstrous fish, each over three meters long and resembling saber-toothed pomfret with mouths full of fangs, burst forth from the water, opening their gaping maws to bite the awakened one at the window.

"Roar!!"

Golden flames surged in Han Ning's eyes, accompanied by the roar of a tiger and the explosion of thunder.
