Chapter 71 Beast Tide
Bang…… Rumble!!!
An explosive sound spread throughout Hell Island.
A few minutes later, the earth began to tremble!
This time, not only Dante and the others found the shaking in Hellisland, but even Momonga, who was far away from the point and in the garrison also felt the powerful force from that thunder and explosion!
The earth kept trembling and the garrison was in chaos. Countless mud and sand fell down, and the ships squatted to and fro.
Momonga frowned and he suddenly drew his sword, and rushed out, aiming at a boulder that was falling from the sky!
Siii……
The moonlight blade light flashed away and the boulder had fallen in two pieces into the seawater to the left and right side of the Battleship.
The soldiers who managed to escape the crises were thankful to Momonga as he saved them, the trained ones knew how critical this moment was, and without saying a word, they withdrew the iron anchor and the ship was launched into the sea.
Ooh!!
Soon, the group of people left the cave on the Battleship, and Momonga and the others could see the turbulence in the island.
“What the hell …… is going on here?!”
In front of them, the Hell Island was filled with chaos everywhere. Those beasts that had been quiet were frantically howling and killing each other, making the hell island noisy.
A large group of muscle beetles rushed out of the deserted forest and jumped into the Sea without any caution, it was as if they were committing suicide and were happy to do so, it was as if something was chasing behind them, making them feel so much fear that they took their chances with the ocean.
The three major areas of Hell Island began to tremble almost with the naked eye. The rushing and biting of wild beasts filled the air with a bloody wicked smell, and the scene in front of them seemed like Doomsday!
“It’s Rowen!!”
At this time, a Marine Officer came over holding his head in pain: “He is fighting with some beast, and the chain reaction of their battle caused the Beast Tide!!”
Momonga: “…”
His mood is very complicated and he had mixed feelings at this moment, why is it Rowen?
Why is Rowen again?
It turned out to be Rowen?!
Various thoughts lingered on his mind as Momonga calmed down his breath and carefully chose his words: “What did he do?”
“He caused a thunderstorm in the heart of the basin of the island. The frightened beasts began to flee outward. The beasts on the periphery were out of their place of existence and could only flee further out, driving the weaker creatures away from their places. So on and so forth, forming an Island-Wide Beast Tide!”
The Officer quickly replied, but he suddenly clutched his head and half-kneeled on the ground while his nostrils were oozing with blood. Momonga held him up and ordered, “Stop using your powers and rest.”
“Yes!”
This Officer’s ability is not much help in terms of combat but he is able to disperse his consciousness or mental body high in the sky without regard to obstacles and distance, so as to monitor the designated area.
However, this ability is not a universal spying type ability, the mental energy of every creature in the designated area can and would interfere with his ability, and the more active the interference, the stronger it is, and a stronger person can even shatter his ability with his own aura alone, such as Haoshoku Haki.
Watching the Officer leave with the help of some soldiers, Momonga looked out over the Hell Iand and felt a headache coming in.
He understood that as soon as the Monsters in the Heart of the Island started to panic, it would be inevitable that the Hell Island would be in chaos. What he should now consider is how to save the Recruits who are trapped in the Beast Tide!
It stands to reason that the Monsters living in the heart of Hell Island would be able to see the powerful Thunder when they raise their heads. But why would they start to escape because of a thunderstorm?
In fact, this is the misleading effect of inertial thinking.
As mentioned earlier, whether it is the Thunderstorm Area, the Tropical Rain Forest Area, or the Ice Field Area, they are actually just the three defensive circles on the periphery of Hell Island and they do not represent the entire Hell Island.
So in the Thunderstorm Area, the wolves and muscle beetles are used to thunder falling upon their bodies every day and they would continue to go on about their life no matter how loud or terrifying the thunder is.
The Monsters in other areas are not used to thunder and lightning. In their eyes, every time a rumble of thunder and lightning falls, it would bring a disaster with it. The fear of thunder and lightning is deeply buried in their genes!
The same is true for the beasts in the heart of the hell island. They live in the forest far away from the Thunderstorm Area. Although they are extremely powerful, their fear of thunder and lightning is not much better than those beasts on the outside.
The sudden terrifying thunder and the wailing of a Beast King before his death let them know that this place has gotten very dangerous, and they chose to leave. In addition, it is the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in any situation, so other creatures will also leave with them.
But every piece of land in this dense forest has an owner. They have to leave their own territory which means that they would now have to take the territory of other creatures.
Ever since that, the oppressed creature bullied the weaker creatures, and the weaker creatures continued to bully the weaker creatures, forming a butterfly effect, triggering the Beast Tide that is now covering the entire Hell Island!
Only……
Those Beast Kings in the heart of the Basin who were at the same level as that of the Gorilla weren’t too frightened, but they did think that Rowen was not easy to provoke, and their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages forced them to choose to move out.
But they have a high IQ and strong strength and they are not afraid, but other creatures don’t know it!
The other creatures were frightened by the thunder and lightning that was close at hand today, and when they saw the powerful Beast Kings who were all “Fleeing”, they simply ran away without taking a second look.
As a veteran, Momonga was involved in the whole process of developing the Hell Island, so he knew it well.
“Rumble-Rumble Fruit… Aiii!”
The Beast Tide had not been triggered for so many years, in addition to the Recruits not being strong enough to penetrate into the heart basin area that can cause unrest in the Beasts, it is also because the Recruits do not have any means to make all the Beasts fear them.
However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is different, even humans can’t escape from fearing thunder and lightning, let alone beasts.
It is almost inevitable that Rowen will make a big fuss in the heart of the basin and would cause such a result. He didn’t think of this in advance. To be honest, it was Momonga’s negligence. So he waved his hand and ordered.
“Notify it down and implement the emergency program!”
“Huh?”
The surrounding soldiers who got the order were surprised and looked at Momonga with a look of disbelief on their faces. Being able to carry out this Mission on board means that they have been notified of the process of the emergency plan.
But……
Momonga’s adjutant came and asked cautiously: “Vice-Admiral Momonga, do you really want to implement that plan?”
