Chapter 82: Three Seconds, From Hope to Despair

The calm coast of the Wa Country had been emitting a rich, fresh fragrance since three or four days ago.

Along the long coastline, if one searched carefully, one could see sea clams glowing with different colors all over their bodies, sucking and spitting bubbles on a special kind of coral.

The rich fragrance was emitted from the bodies of these Nine-colored Spirit Clams.

“Yoshi, the first batch of Nine-colored Spirit Clams is about to mature.” Xiao Chongjiba stood in front of his Territory, his eyes revealing excitement that needed no hiding at all.

His Territory had already been upgraded to level two. Once the first batch of Nine-colored Spirit Clams matured, apart from enjoying them himself, he planned to sell a portion to those unlucky inland Lord Players.

“With money and power ful subordinates, I can immediately recruit soldiers and buy horses.”

“Daydreaming of Huaxia, just wait for the powerful Lords of the Wa Country to ravage your Territory in the future.”

Although twenty days had passed since that Forum incident, Xiao Chongjiba still had not forgotten that humiliating post by Mo Xiaobai.

A graveyard for losers, how could the great Yamato Wa Country possibly go there!

The ones who should go there are those Huaxia pigs!

Looking at the Nine-colored Spirit Clams that were about to mature, Xiao Chongjiba’s heart could hardly be described merely as proud and satisfied.

The Nine-colored Spirit Clam was a treasure bowl for him and all the other coastal Lords of the Wa Country.

Although there were already many Lords raising Nine-colored Spirit Clams, compared to the coastal Lords, the number of inland Lords was greater, and their resources were relatively scarce.

The Nine-colored Spirit Clams that he could eat every day might not be eaten even once a week by those poor fellows.

This was because Master Xiao Chongjiba was kind-hearted and would not sell the Nine-colored Spirit Clams at an astronomical price.

Hmm, in the future, he would still need those unlucky inland ghosts to cheer for him from behind, so Xiao Chongjiba felt it was necessary to find some obedient subordinates.

With Nine-colored Spirit Clams in hand, he did not worry about having no one pledge allegiance.

Xiao Chongjiba fantasized happily about the future scenario and did not notice that the sea surface a hundred li away had already become different from the past.

The sound of the tides was louder, and the rolling waves were bigger.

A hundred li.

Fifty li.

Thirty li.

Ten li.

When the distant sea waves approached rapidly, the giant waves filling the sky were already over a hundred zhang high.

The suddenly appearing giant waves gave Xiao Chongjiba no chance to react at all; the distance of ten li arrived in an instant.

“Boom!”

The giant waves whistled and rushed onto the coast, crashing down fiercely from a height of four or five hundred meters.

Xiao Chongjiba’s horrified eyes had not fully opened yet, and his pupils had no time to contract before his whole person was smashed down hard by the sea waves.

A death prompt sounded beside Xiao Chongjiba’s ears. At this moment, he only had one choice:

Go to the nearest Ping City to Respawn!

But Xiao Chongjiba did not do so. At this moment, he was like a person who had lost his soul, dazedly maintaining his ghost state, floating in the monstrous giant waves that had swept through the Nine-colored Spirit Clam farm and the entire Territory behind him.

Giant waves came one after another. Xiao Chongjiba just watched helplessly as the Territory he had worked so hard to build was destroyed cleanly by the ruthless tsunami waves.

The Territory Stele was completely shattered at this moment. The hundreds of Territory Citizens in the Territory had long since died like him and were preparing to meet the Great God Amaterasu.

“Why?”

“Why is it like this?”

“Why give me such a fierce blow just when the Nine-colored Spirit Clams were about to mature?”

From high-spirited to heart-dead, Xiao Chongjiba’s mentality shift took only a mere three seconds.

The Territory was gone!

The Nine-colored Spirit Clams were gone!

After Respawn, what could he still do?

In despair, Xiao Chongjiba looked with lifeless eyes at the ruins of the dilapidated Territory and at the still surging waves.

At this moment, he also saw the “culprit” that caused all of this.

The figure of a long snake appeared and disappeared in the waves. The snake body was very long and very thick, and it had several heads.

Most importantly, there was more than one such snake monster.

Perhaps hundreds, possibly over a thousand.

But to Xiao Chongjiba, none of this mattered anymore.

His sweet dream, the dream of ruthlessly trampling on Huaxia Players, was completely shattered at this moment.

And what Xiao Chongjiba did not know was that at this moment, the Wa Country coastal Territories attacked by the tsunami waves included not just him. Almost all coastal Players had suffered fierce attacks from unknown sea snake monsters.

…

“Heaven has abandoned Yamato.”

“This night, the coast of the Wa Country is weeping.”

“Coastal Lords are nearly extinct; their rise has become the number one joke of the Plane.”

“Wa Country Lord Players decrease sharply, exclusive inside report!”

“No one can save the Wa Country, not even a god!”

…

Like a thunderclap sounding from flat ground, just when the Forum had finally regained a quiet atmosphere for a few dozen days, hundreds and thousands of posts related to the Wa Country inexplicably appeared on the Forum homepage.

It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, the entire Wa Country had completely fallen into a moment of national mourning.

When those Players from various countries who were used to browsing the Forum clicked open the posts, various sounds of amazement almost resounded throughout the entire Plane.

The Wa Country was an island nation. If the coastlines of all islands were added together, that was a very considerable figure.

On this long coastline, there were originally many Wa Country Lord Players taking root here. Relying on marine resources, at least on the surface, they all seemed to be developing quite well.

And now, Wa Country Players said that their coastal Lords were all dead?

OMG!

Has this century’s April Fool’s Day arrived early?

If one or two people said so, Players from various countries would just treat it as a joke. But the posts constantly bubbling and refreshing on the Forum homepage, and the Player speeches crazily appearing in the Wa Country’s own Forum.

All explained a fact!

The Wa Country, something big had happened!

“Sis~Sis!”

“You look quickly, hurry up and look at the Forum.”

“The Wa Country really suffered a disaster; it is simply a prehistoric civilization destruction disaster.”

Great Ming Dynasty, Wuyou Village.

Shangshan Ruoshui habitually checked some dynamic posts of the “Ritian Alliance” in the Forum before going to sleep. Originally, he planned to sleep after reading, but who knew that just as he was about to close the Forum, a large group of members posted one after another saying to go to the Wa Country Forum to watch the spectacle.

Shangshan Ruoshui, who still did not know what had happened, casually opened the Wa Country Forum, and then… he could not stay calm!

Running out of his room with bare feet, “Bang bang!” he knocked on his sister’s bedroom door: “Old Sister, look at the Forum quickly, the Wa Country Forum has exploded.”

Shangshan Ruoshui knocked on the door for a long time, but no response came from inside. Just as he was preparing to break in, a faint voice came from the bedroom:

“I saw it.”

“Sis, open the door, I’m telling you, the Wa Country this time!”

Shangshan Ruoshui was extremely excited, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice inside: “Don’t disturb me, I just want to be quiet now!”

“Uh!”

Shangshan Ruoshui’s mouth twitched, he pouted and walked back to his own room with bare feet.

Rolling around on the bed several times, Shangshan Ruoshui, who simply could not stop, flipped over and climbed up.

“No, I have to go ask the Great God.”

“How is the Great God so amazing? Twenty days ago, he concluded that the Wa Country was finished.”

Shangshan Ruoshui was not someone who could keep things in his heart. Thinking of Mo Xiaobai’s certain tone back then and the bet between the two, he felt it was necessary to contact the Great God once.

How exactly did the Great God do it? He really wanted to know the answer immediately.
