Anchor Island.

Tulip Archipelago’s ninth largest island group, located southeast of Flame Island in the external seas.

At this moment, Liszt and Ach were standing on the shore of Anchor Island, furrowing their brows as they looked out at the azure sea, where makeshift, ugly shacks had been erected over the surface.

A creature resembling the ancient Fish Ugly race that they had seen before dwelled within these shallow water shacks. Their upper bodies resembled grotesque fish, while their lower bodies boasted frog-like legs with webbed, split toes, and their hands—similar to a frog’s—clutched bone-like weapons.

“Gu-gua!”

“Gu-gua!”

These hideous creatures, possessing yellow-green skin, uttered monotonous yet rhythmic words, suggesting some primitive language.

“Brother, these monsters are so ugly,” Ach complained.

She felt somewhat disappointed. Liszt had said he was taking her to see the sea, only for them to encounter a horde of such hideous monsters.

“They are indeed ugly, but what exactly are these creatures?”

“They somewhat resemble the Fish Ugly from the Fish Ugly Temple, possibly descendants of the Fish Ugly race.”

“However, the undead Fish Ugly Virginia transformed into were several meters tall, but these creatures here are less than one meter high, the difference is too big,” Liszt shook his head, saying he had come to Anchor Island to investigate these strange creatures’ invasion, following the hints from the Smoke Mission.

The Smoke Mission’s reward was an Evil Sea Spirit, but he wasn’t quite sure what an Evil Sea Spirit was—it was possibly these hideous creatures.

However, seeing these ugly beings, he really didn’t know how this thing counted as a reward.

These Fish Ugly-like creatures not only lived in shallow seas but also continually migrated onto land. Though they lacked magic power and were slow, their Kirin Arm-strong limbs easily hurled sharp fishbone weapons, making it easy to hunt magical beasts on the shores.

“Brother, look over there, there’s a Fish Ugly magician,” Ach pointed towards the distant shoreline.

Liszt quickly steered the Formless Dragon Bard to fly over, observing from the material boundary the ugly creature magician Ach referred to. It was a rather large ugly creature and seeing this creature, Liszt had to admit, they might truly be offspring bred from Fish Ugly.

It looked almost identical to the undead Fish Ugly seen in the Fish Ugly Temple, only much smaller, standing at a height of 1.5 meters.

Its body emitted a faint light blue magic aura, and the fishbone it held in its hand also rippled with a blue magic light.

It was leading a group of Fish Ugly in hunting a low-level water attribute magical beast – Shallow Water Leopard.

Whenever the Shallow Water Leopard tried to flee, the Fish Ugly magician would release a magic spell, seemingly a Water Magic spell – Ring of Water, binding the leopard. Whenever the Leopard retaliated with magic, it managed to kill one or two Fish Ugly, but even more Fish Ugly furiously pounced on it.

Ultimately, after several dozen Fish Ugly had died, the Shallow Water Leopard was also worn down and killed, then the Fish Ugly magician triumphantly directed the ordinary Fish Ugly to carry the dead leopard to its simple shack.

Similar scenes were playing out along the entire East Coast of Anchor Island.

It was teeming with Fish Ugly.

It seemed that they also organized themselves into tribes, ranging in size from twenty to thirty thousand to as small as four to five thousand, with one or more Fish Ugly Magicians as leaders, rooted along the coastlines and continually hunting Magical Beasts in the forests inland. Liszt roughly counted, there were at least several hundred thousand Fish Ugly.

“Have these Fish Ugly always lived here?” He felt it unlikely, having previously surveyed the terrain here without encountering any Fish Ugly.

The Smoke Mission also suggested it was a biological invasion.

Regardless, these Fish Ugly needed to be carefully investigated. It seemed that the Fish Ugly had lived in the sea before and had only recently invaded the land, judging from the gills at the sides of their mouths, indicating they were originally aquatic creatures. Many nests in the shallow sea were submerged, only emerging during low tide.

“They must have been forced to invade the land from the sea, otherwise they wouldn’t dwell in the shallow sea without coming ashore.” Thus, the cause still had to be sought in the seabed.

With Ach present, diving was no different from strolling.

Both swiftly dived underwater, and indeed, beneath the surface, there were Fish Ugly nests stretching as far as the eye could see. Following these nests, Liszt soon found even larger Fish Ugly nests. These nests housed Fish Ugly that were two meters tall, with more intense Magic Power.

As they went deeper, they found even more enormous nests, inhabited by even taller Fish Ugly, those reaching three meters.

Of course, these three-meter tall Fish Ugly were very rare, with only one or two within a vast area, but it was these different types of Fish Ugly with varying heights that made Liszt realize, “It seems that these Fish Ugly truly descend from an ancient race… indeed, if Ancient Warrior Inheritors can exist, why can’t the Fish Ugly Race reproduce.”

He just didn’t know whether, apart from Fish Ugly, there were also Naga or Mermaids.

The original Fish Ugly Temple, apart from enshrining statues of Fish Ugly, had many Naga statues and a massive Mermaid statue.

While he was lost in thought, Ach suddenly alerted, “Brother, there’s a high Magic reaction ahead.”

Using the Eye of Magic, Liszt also noticed the magic feedback light deep in the sea ahead, the thick glow of Dark Magic Power, a response of Dark Attribute Magic.

“Let’s go, let’s check it out!”

As they approached, he suddenly realized it was a massive creature over ten meters long—with an upper body similar to a human and a lower body similar to a fish tail.

At first glance, it looked like a Mermaid, but its entire body was covered in tumorous growths, with skin drier and more wrinkled than a Fish Ugly’s, making it several times more repellent. The creature also noticed Liszt and Ach, one of its eyes shining with crimson light, the other eye cloudy white, evidently blind.

It opened its huge mouth and spewed a ring of black light at Liszt and Ach.

Ach casually conjured a Water Magic Water Wheel Barrier, blocking the black light, as the Unicorn also galloped in the water, still amplifying Ach’s Magic Power.

Thus, even though it was just an ordinary Water Magic Water Wheel Barrier, it still exhibited the effect of Superior Magic, easily repelling the monster’s attack.

“It’s Dark Magic, highly corrosive, and belongs to the High Magic level, but this creature’s strength is much weaker than its appearance suggests,” Ach analyzed.

Liszt noticed more Fish Ugly and leftover animal bones around, tentatively guessing that the reason for the Fish Ugly’s land invasion might be due to this creature.

So he directly said, “Ach, help me capture it alive, I want to study it.”

“Mhmm.” With a casual wave of his hand, Ach formed several Water System Superior Magic Rings of Water, quickly binding the creature, which struggled in vain to escape the magical bonds.

It could only obediently be dragged by the magic of the Ring of Water to the shore.

The Fish Ugly trailed behind the creature, apparently wanting to rescue it, but they dared not approach Liszt and Ach, only making “gu-gua, gu-gua” noises in distress.
