Seeing the number of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals increasing, and now with a Seahorse Military Advisor added to the mix, many players showed a look of confusion.

So what was the situation now? These Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals couldn't even come ashore. Were they gathering so many just to have a shouting match? They even brought over a Seahorse Military Advisor for it; it seemed even the Crab Generals knew that trash-talking required a literate member of the Sea Race.

"Damn, think you're something special just because you have numbers?"

"I'll say it again, that seahorse is mine to ride, no one can stop me!"

"Speaking of which, can you eat seahorses?"

"I'm not sure about seahorses, but I've decided I'm eating those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals. Not even Jesus can hold me back, I'm telling you!"

The Players bantered back and forth, completely disregarding the Sea Race.

At this moment, the fan held by the Seahorse Military Advisor began to flutter gently. Streams of Spiritual Qi continuously sprinkled out from the Black Feather Fan, causing the winds and clouds between heaven and earth to transform.

Suddenly, the Celestial Dome was filled with dark clouds, rolling in with an ominous bearing, like dark clouds preparing to lay siege to a city.

"Holy crap, this one's a Sea Race mage."

Dung Beetle's lip twitched. "He can even summon wind and rain. Can Water Element Players do that?"

"Does Water Ball Explosion count? As for wind..." a Water Element Player added from the side.

But the other Water Element Players all knew it was impossible to summon wind and rain. At least for now, none of them could do it. Although they didn't know what exactly the Seahorse Military Advisor was planning, they could tell it was definitely brewing a big move.

RUMBLE—

While everyone was puzzled, a muffled thunder rolled across the sky. Immediately after, dark clouds had completely engulfed the sky above them, and a torrential downpour began.

At this, the Players became even more perplexed. So what were they trying to do? Drown them to death with rain? The Players all wore baffled expressions, looking at the figures on the beach, somewhat confused.

But just then, the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals actually started to move forward. Under all the Players' watchful eyes, the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals walked onto the beach, braving the heavy rain as they advanced toward them.

"Holy hell, these things can come ashore?"

"The Damn Game Designer is doing this on purpose, right? Knowing we've improved our Power, so they staged this?"

"Something's not right; there's something off about that Seahorse Military Advisor."

"You guys look at the Sea Surface! Are you sure this is a normal game?"

The Players were somewhat slow to react. But what shocked them even more was the sight before them—a high wave surged up from the Sea Surface, rolling toward them with great momentum.

We're screwed.

If that hits us, won't all our bones shatter?

The Sea Race folks didn't play fair! As soon as they came ashore, they started playing these nasty tricks.

"The Life Gate, open!"

"Armament Haki!"

A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice was the first to react, instantly activating Eight Gates Escape Armor and Armament Haki, feeling the enhancement brought by these two Ultimate Techniques. One had to admit, Old Mo's Power increase was somewhat understandable. The boost from these two Ultimate Techniques was simply indescribable. Forget everything else, just opening the first gate of the Eight Gates Escape Armor alone made him feel like he could kill the opposing Crab General with a single punch.

"Come on, I'll take on ten!" A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice roared as he charged forward, his right hand already covered with Spiritual Qi, turning into a steel-like black color visible to the naked eye. His punch was aimed right at the approaching Crab General's face.

One punch!

BANG!

His punch was too fast; even the Crab General didn't react in time and took the punch head-on. With the impact, half of the Crab General's face completely collapsed, large chunks of Crab Roe and shell scattering everywhere.

Members of the Glutton Squad watching from behind had their eyes light up, but they also couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Such a pity, that was premium Crab Roe!"

"If you mix it with rice, that flavor would be unrivaled! It could even be used as a base for Hot Pot."

"What a waste, such a waste! Duck Leg Rice, go easy and leave a whole corpse, will you?"

A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice, experiencing this kind of power for the first time, wasn't about to listen to them. Right now, he just wanted to deal with this bunch of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals and then throw them all into a Hot Pot! A Seafood Pot sounded pretty good too.

Seeing that this player had killed a Crab General with a single punch, the Shrimp Soldiers also started to panic. Many Shrimp Soldiers began retreating.

The other four Crab Generals, however, rushed forward, intending to attack the other Players in retaliation against A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice.

But would Dung Beetle and the others just wait quietly for them to come and beat them up? No way!

"Brothers, let's go, pummel them!"

"For our Ingredients, we must have Seafood Pot today!"

"I've got my eye on that seahorse! Make way for me, I'm going to challenge that seahorse to a duel!"

"Archer bro is badass! We won't compete with you!"

The Players swarmed over, ruthlessly attacking the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals. No weapon? No problem. Their bodies were enveloped in Armament Haki, which was many times stronger than any trident.

Time to kick some ass!

The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, who had previously held the advantage, were quickly overwhelmed by the Players' concentrated fire, instantly losing their edge. The supposedly impenetrable defense of the Crab Generals was as fragile as paper in the face of Armament Haki and Eight Gates Escape Armor. The sensation brought by the Eight Gates Escape Armor was exhilarating.

In just one confrontation, the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals were routed, all their corpses left strewn across the beach.

The White Seahorse Military Advisor, noticing the Top Archer in the National Server charging towards it, and especially the archer's fervent gaze, couldn't help but shudder. Then it vanished directly into the water, disappearing without a trace.

"Shit!" The Top Archer in the National Server cursed, his face dark. "A step too late! I almost had the chance to ride it!"

The surrounding Players, upon hearing this, couldn't help but shiver.

"Archer bro, you're joking, right?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Upon hearing this, many Players couldn't help but hold the Top Archer in the National Server in great awe.

What defines a real man? This is it! All that crap about Welcoming Men and adding men upon men couldn't compare to Archer bro's actions. He had transcended gender and moved onto a higher plane. In this wave, while everyone else was on the first layer, the Top Archer in the National Server had shot straight to the fifth layer!

Dung Beetle, shouldering a large lobster, chuckled. "Melee DPS is just so satisfying, knocking them all down in one go."

"Time for Seafood Pot! We've got to feast this time!"

"A bunch of bastards, really going hard when kill-stealing. I didn't even manage to snatch a single monster!"

"What's even the point of playing? I didn't earn a single Contribution Point. The Sea Race's Contribution Points aren't shared; even forming a party doesn't help."

"Why has everyone started copying Daytime Alms? That Damn Game Designer is a master at kill-stealing; how did you all become like him?"

Some Players who hadn't managed to get any kills began to complain from the sidelines.

Food Heaven and the others, watching the large lobsters and Giant Crabs brought by Dung Beetle and his companions, couldn't help but salivate. This time, they were set for a good meal. Such large lobsters were sure to be satisfying, not to mention indulging in the Crab Roe. And, of course, they definitely couldn't miss out on the Crab Meat.

"Eat, eat, eat, the Hot Pot's ready." Food Heaven, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, hurriedly summoned everyone. "Is the stuff inside this crab's head edible? Should I try it first?"

Saying this, he picked up some yellowish stuff with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It tasted like Crab Roe but was probably the brain of a Crab General. The moment it touched his tongue, it melted. An explosive burst of umami, unlike anything he had ever experienced, then erupted in his mouth.

"Mmm... delicious!" Food Heaven's eyes bulged. Then, he rolled his eyes back and collapsed onto the ground.

The surrounding Players were startled, all staring at the scene. Food Heaven lay convulsing on the ground, frothing at the mouth, looking like he was having a seizure.

Cat Eats Fish, witnessing this, also couldn't help but swallow nervously. What's going on here? Collapsed after just one bite of a Crab General's brain? Is the cost that high?

He couldn't resist trying a bite himself. After taking a bite and savoring the brain's delicious flavor, he couldn't hold back.

"Delicious!" Cat Eats Fish stiffened and collapsed straight onto the ground. "So tasty it's poisonous..."

That statement left all the Players present dumbfounded.

Delicious enough to be toxic? What kind of weird review is that? Besides, Food Heaven clearly looked like he was severely poisoned. Why on earth did Cat Eats Fish still take a bite?

Not only that, but the rest of the Glutton Squad also couldn't resist trying the Crab General's brain. Unsurprisingly, the expected scene occurred: all members of the Glutton Squad died from poisoning on the beach.

The heavy rain had now turned into a light drizzle, but their corpses on the sand were a particularly glaring sight.

"Do these guys have rocks for brains? Knowing it's poisonous, they still ate it?"

"Maybe it's a Glutton Squad tradition. After all, some people would give up their lives for a taste of deliciousness."

"I remember Food Heaven once ate Dung Beetle's Stinky Tofu, right?"

"No wonder. It seems this guy is really willing to give up everything for food."

Before long, Food Heaven and the others underwent Resurrection and gathered around the Hot Pot once more, embarking on another round of taste-testing. Aside from the poisonous Crab General's brain, everything else seemed to be fine. At least no further poisoning occurred.

After a hearty meal, the Players lay on the beach, starting to rest.

Dung Beetle shook his head. "This beach isn't suitable for combat. Later, we'll call the Construction Team to build a Dam right here."

"Yeah, we really need a Dam for flood protection."

Duck Leg Rice nodded. "If the Top Archer in the National Server hadn't charged in to interrupt the Seahorse Military Advisor's spellcasting, our small group would likely have suffered a Team Wipe under those waves."
