Wizard: I'm leveling up by AFK in another world

Claire put away the fishbone knife and glanced at the oxygen level on her headset.

Quite sufficient.

He waved his hand to remove the mark from the giant tidal clam in front of him, preparing to go find another one with goods.

That way, I won't waste time looking for it when I go to work tomorrow.

hum!

A sudden, urgent alarm blared in his headphones.

Immediately afterwards, Buck's annoying voice came through the communication channel:

"Everyone! Ascend immediately and evacuate!"

"The Lingtai has detected a large number of high-energy reactions approaching Zones 3 and 4, which should be a beast tide."

"Get back here right now! You have ten minutes. If you're even a second late, I'll shut the gate!"

"Repeat! Ascend immediately, evacuate now!"

Beast tide?

Claire's heart skipped a beat.

To protect the environment, the aquaculture area is directly connected to the deep sea without any barriers.

However, the base has always maintained patrol teams to clean up any unrelated organisms around the breeding area.

In his speech to the new recruits, the head coach proudly announced that the base had never been attacked by a beast tide since its establishment.

Claire sensed something was wrong, but it happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to think it through.

He took a deep breath, deployed the emergency airbag, and began to rise.

At the same time, he spread his mental energy outwards without reservation.

He did not forget the basic training he received at the military camp: the more chaotic the situation, the more sensitive one must be.

After all, Buck gave ten minutes to evacuate, but everyone's diving depth and position were different.

Claire dared not gamble that the beast tide was still far away.

However, he had only risen less than a hundred meters when a line of text popped up in front of him:

[Blueprint material detected: Fish Spirit Spine]

Not again?!

Claire's ascent froze, and she immediately noticed that the signal light from the panel was descending.

In this seabed full of collectors and farmed animals, what could be this thing?

There is only one spot of light.

"Seth, or Ryan?"

In a flash, Claire's brain raced.

"A sudden beast tide... sea creatures with unknown motives..." he murmured to himself, a thought flashing through his mind.

If he were a spy, there would be no better time to pass on intelligence.

A ruthless glint appeared in Claire's eyes.

He drew his knife and severed the emergency airbag, held his breath, and followed the distant signal light into the darkness below.

After descending nearly 500 meters, the signal light finally stopped.

This place is full of stone pillars and broken rocks, making it ideal for concealing one's tracks.

Claire touched the light spot a hundred meters away and hid herself in the shadows.

Through the Wizard's Eye, he saw the figure represented by the light spot—it was Raine.

He stopped in front of an underwater rift, looked around, and then reached out to touch the opening of his diving suit.

As soon as he took off his diving suit, his skin was quickly covered with a thick layer of dark blue scales, and his feet became wide and webbed.

Immediately afterwards, his spine cracked and popped, and he seemed to grow taller and more slender.

"call……"

Ryan opened his mouth, and a string of bubbles came out; he seemed to be enjoying it.

His originally somewhat thin body was now full of streamlined power, and his dorsal fin was emitting a faint blue light.

"His physical condition has improved significantly, but his mental energy fluctuations are still extremely weak..." Claire silently analyzed as she looked at Rein's strong "true form".

After stretching his body, Raine pulled out a strange object.

It was a black horn resembling a conch shell, its surface covered with twisted runes.

He brought the horn to his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and blew it loudly.

woo-

No sound was emitted within the range of human hearing.

But Claire felt a violent tremor in the surrounding seawater.

The tremors spread along the seawater into the unfathomable depths of the rift valley.

Claire held her breath, staring intently into the dark depths of the rift.

A few seconds later.

A huge undercurrent suddenly surged up from the once calm depths of the rift valley.

Immediately afterwards, two huge yellow lights, like lanterns, slowly lit up in the darkness.

Those were a pair of eyes.

As the enormous creature slowly rose to the surface, Claire finally saw its true form.

It was a giant sea monster that was over fifteen meters long.

It looks a bit like a crocodile, but it has six flippers, a thick shell covering its back, and a huge bone hammer at the end of its tail.

"It's a high-level magical beast..." Claire observed warily, ready to retreat at any moment.

Fortunately, this terrifying behemoth seemed to be trying to conceal its presence and did not use magic to check its surroundings.

Its huge yellow eyes were fixed on Renn, or rather, on the black conch shell in his hand.

Ryan seemed nervous too; his body was trembling slightly, but he forced himself to lift the conch shell and uttered a series of rapid and complex syllables.

"It really is a mental communication!" Claire was flattered.

He was afraid that he would go through all the trouble of following along, only to find that he couldn't understand a foreign language.

Based on the fluctuations she had just detected, Claire carefully adjusted her mental focus and quickly understood the conversation on the other end.

"...Those humans have never encountered this situation before, they must be extremely busy right now." This should be a signal from Rein. "This beast tide bait cost a lot of money, the elders will be heartbroken."

"What do a few beasts die if we can get the intelligence out?" The Yellow Lantern Sea Beast clearly didn't consider the monsters above it to be one of their own. "The elder asked me to ask you, have you gotten any results from your investigation these past few days?"

"That's about it." Ryan took out a metal cylinder and handed it to the other person. "This is the area we're responsible for scouting. The marked points on it are relatively vulnerable."

"Very good." The Yellow Lantern Sea Beast swallowed the metal cylinder into its stomach.

"Um, has the operation been scheduled?" Raine asked, sounding somewhat uneasy.

"On the rest day three days from now, most people at your base will begin resting the night before, when security will be at its most relaxed. Do you remember your mission?"

"Yes. Seth and I will be responsible for sabotaging a power hub in the residential area."

"The power supply hub for the living area?" The Yellow Lantern Sea Beast seemed somewhat dissatisfied. "Just a small node? The elders hope you can blow up the main control room."

"Don't be ridiculous! The person in charge of that kind of place, even if not a formal wizard, is at least a high-level apprentice. Seth and I were already at our limit, managing to blow up a power supply node and cut off some of the surveillance and lighting in the living area!"

The Yellow Lantern Sea Beast remained silent for a moment, seemingly aware that it was unreasonable to ask such a question: "Alright, then don't disappoint us. A strike team will attack the base from the points you scouted. You'll evacuate from there then."

"Don't worry. For Egil's sake."

"For Egil."

Without another word, the Yellow Lantern Sea Beast turned and disappeared into the rift.

Rein transformed himself back into a thin human form, donned a diving suit, and swam upwards.

After Claire memorized the location of the rift, she turned around and followed Ryan as they floated upwards.

"The night before the rest day, that's two days from now..."
