Chapter 28: The East Sea Storm Rises, Lobster Blocks the Way

  Kangmo is a sea patrol night yaksha of the third squadron of the East Sea Dragon Palace patrol team. To say that with his skills, he shouldn't have been able to become a sea patrol night yaksha, but since the captain of the third squadron was his brother-in-law, Kangmo could be considered an official second-generation descendant. This is how Kangmo became a glorious sea patrol night yaksha.

  As a lobster, Gang Mo had his own pride. The name "lobster" has two characters, one of which is the character for dragon, which is an honor in itself. This has always been Gang Mo's pride, but after joining the patrol team, he found that this dragon character didn't bring him the treatment he deserved. In the patrol team, everyone looks at your cultivation and achievements, not some crappy dragon character!

  Kangmo's own cultivation was not worth mentioning, he was just a shape-shifting peak, thinking of forming a demon pill but didn't dare to be a mediocre and useless little demon. In the patrol team where there were many demon pills and monsters, Kangmo wanted to stand out, wanted to rely on his cultivation to get everyone's recognition, and get the reward from the Dragon King, it was undoubtedly a foolish dream. So Kangmo pinned all his hopes on his achievements.

  It seems that heaven itself is against him, for since he took office, he has been patrolling the seas more diligently than anyone else, yet he hasn't discovered a single target worthy of his merit. Now, it's already been two years since he became the Night Patrol Demon, but Kong Mo still has nothing to show for it. Whenever he thinks about this, a surge of anger rises in his heart, and now he's so desperate to make a name for himself that he's almost going crazy!

  Those days his brother-in-law warned him that if he continued like this, even his brother-in-law might not be able to protect him. The only way out for Gangmo was to return to the seabed and honestly become a big lobster, adding branches and leaves to the lobster family. But how could the proud and arrogant Gangmo bear this? So early in the morning today, Gangmo came out and missed the old dragon king's lecture, staring at a bamboo raft that he absolutely should not have stared at!

  If he had heard the old dragon king's words, everything that happened afterwards would not have occurred. The content of the old dragon king's words was: "In the next ten or so days, anyone who encounters a bamboo raft at sea will uniformly use magic to help them speed up, and no one is allowed to obstruct them. Those who disobey the order will be killed without pardon."

  "Halt, you scoundrel in front! You're causing trouble above my East Sea, what are your intentions?" Just as Gangmo was about to hang his head in shame and return to the Dragon Palace with nothing gained, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. To his surprise, he discovered a small bamboo raft, on which there seemed to be a moving object.

  Taking a closer look, Kang Mo's heart skipped a beat. "Good grief, this is indeed a monster, and it has transformed."

  There's a problem here! Kongmo quickly came to the conclusion that this was a monkey, and it belonged to the land-dwelling kind. Otherwise, he wouldn't be riding on a bamboo raft. So why would a land-dwelling monkey demon come out to sea? Did he have some ulterior motive? Was it an enemy force trying to do harm to the Dragon Palace?

  For a moment, Kangmo's long-cultivated detective talent, comparable to that of Sherlock Holmes, burst forth, and Sun Yuan immediately filled his mind with doubts, becoming an important informant in his eyes.

  "It's a stroke of luck!" Kang Mo's dragon whiskers were almost standing on end with excitement. In his mind, as long as he could capture Sun Yuan, the old Dragon King might be so pleased that he would grant him a treasure. With this treasure, crossing the Tribulation of the Golden Elixir would no longer be a problem. At this moment, Sun Yuan was already equivalent to a shining golden elixir in his heart. It was at this time that he made up his mind to capture Sun Yuan.

  Sun Yuan, who was carefully observing his surroundings, suddenly heard a hoarse shout and was startled, almost falling into the sea. He quickly turned around to look, and indeed he was frightened by what he saw. The one shouting was not far from his raft, and with Sun Yuan's keen eyesight, he could see its image clearly. It seemed to be a large lobster!

  The giant lobster in front of me, with finger-like steel guns and wearing armor, except for the fact that it had no legs under its body, which had transformed into a human shape, was now rapidly opening up the sea surface, sticking to the water skin and rushing towards the bamboo raft.

  "What kind of person are you? How dare you interfere with me? Get out of here quickly!" Sun Yuan knew that this trip was perilous, so he didn't want to cause any more trouble. He wanted to scare off the little rascal, "Look at my magical powers! If you don't retreat, be careful or your life won't be preserved." After finishing speaking, he pinched his fingers together and a huge black wind suddenly appeared out of thin air, swirling around him from a short distance away.

  "Hmph, young one, daring to be so reckless in front of Xun Hai Ye. You're the first one." Seeing the enormous black wind summoned by his opponent's wave, Kang Mo, who had already known that his opponent's cultivation was deeper than his own, not only didn't show fear, but instead became excited. In his opinion, this further confirmed his suspicions about his opponent. Otherwise, what would a powerful demon like this be doing in the depths of the ocean?

  Kang Mo was not afraid at all. Perhaps on land, he might be slightly inferior to Sun Yuan, but in the water, having received orthodox training from the Dragon Palace, his aquatic magic was absolutely unmatched by this wild card, Sun Yuan.

  Only to see Kangmo's iron spear make a single stroke, the sea surface was instantly divided into two halves. Several tens of meters high giant waves rushed towards the bamboo raft, while the black wind summoned by Sun Yuan was almost dispersed by the giant wave at the moment they intersected.

  "Hey kid, you're still acting so arrogant. You'd better surrender quickly, or else your lobster grandfather will be in trouble!" Kang Mo said with a sneer as soon as he saw that his side had the upper hand.

  Facing the overwhelming giant waves, Sun Yuan didn't show any signs of panic. He stood firmly on his bamboo raft, with demonic energy surging inside him. With a punch full of demonic energy, he struck the sky, dispersing the giant waves in all directions. Kang Mo's magic was unable to affect him in the slightest. In fact, with Sun Yuan's cultivation at the Demon Dan stage, it was far beyond what a small demon like Kang Mo could handle.

  "No wonder you're so arrogant, but you do have some skills. Now take a look at this move." Seeing his most proud technique being broken, Kang Mo's face changed, and he didn't retreat, but instead became even more enraged.

  Next, Sun Yuan became a complete target. Although his cultivation was far above that of the lobster, his range of activity was really limited and he couldn't get into the water, so he could only be beaten passively. The lobster also seemed to have gone all out against Sun Yuan, with one spell after another being thrown out as if they were free. In the end, both sides were panting, but neither could do anything to the other.

  "I say, old brother, aren't you done yet? Why don't you take a rest and we'll fight again?" Sun Yuan leaned weakly against the bamboo raft, silently staring at the sweetly sleeping Monkey King. He didn't know whether it was because of the dragon shrimp's accurate aim or because there were people on Sun Wukong's head, but these spells, once they crossed Sun Yuan's boundary, lost their power and dissipated into thin air in an instant.

  After this battle that lasted for several hours, Sun Wukong didn't even get hurt, let alone his fur was still dry and not a single drop of seawater had stuck to it.

  "Hmph, don't think you can get away with this, let's see about that." The equally exhausted and panting big lobster finally realized that continuing like this would be a waste of energy. It was clear that he alone couldn't handle the monkey, so with a swift motion, it dove into the sea, creating a splash before disappearing from view.
