Chapter 45

Several people followed the source of the sound and looked over, instantly staring in shock.

They saw that on the right side of the café, the sea, which had been dark and tranquil, was now suddenly transformed. The calm sea surface was split in the middle, and the dark chasm in the middle resembled a cliff immersed in the night, deep and terrifying. A black, spiny back suddenly appeared in the middle of the split chasm.

The cold moonlight shone on it, and the sharp back immediately reflected a dark light, making everyone shudder.

The café was right by the sea, so the terrifying back was only a few dozen meters away from them.

Moreover, its speed was so fast that it surpassed everyone's imagination in the café.

"Shadow Claw..." Li Jiawei glanced and whispered in shock.

"Shadow Claw?" Ning Yi's heart sank. He still had memories of this creature. It was a deep-sea monster discovered about twenty years ago, unknown whether it was a mutation or spontaneously generated, but its appearance was extremely mysterious.

This monster had fins like a fish but also miraculously had four legs, with sharp, terrifying claws on its front legs. It lived only in the deep sea and was extremely brutal, feeding on various fish.

For over twenty years, it had continuously attacked human fishing boats in the deep sea, forcing small fishing boats to stay away from the deep sea to avoid being attacked.

Ning Yi had seen a dead body of this deep-sea monster, killed by the U.S. military, on TV.

It was about four meters long and had strong climbing abilities, capable of climbing onto the deck of a fishing boat to attack humans.

However, what was strange was that this brutal monster generally did not appear in the near sea close to humans. Therefore, although there were occasional reports on TV, very few people had actually seen a Shadow Claw.

But unexpectedly, this terrifying monster was discovered here.

In a moment, as the Shadow Claw approached the shore, its terrifying body slowly emerged. Indeed, it was at least four meters long. Its head, like that of a tyrannosaurus, was now exposed above the water. It then suddenly opened its deep, huge mouth and roared to the sky, emitting a sharp, unpleasant howl.

On the beach, tourists who had been swimming leisurely were now screaming and fleeing in all directions.

However, their speed was no match for the terrifying Shadow Claw.

The black behemoth paused for a moment and then pounced on a tall, slender man who was still learning to swim with a swimming ring.

It then suddenly raised its sharp claws from the water.

"Thud!" Everyone stared in shock as the tall, slender man was pierced through by the terrifying Shadow Claw.

The man was still alive, held high in the air by the monster, his legs and arms flailing helplessly as he cried for help.

But in the next moment, the monster bent its front claws and forcibly pushed the man's lower body into its gaping, blood-filled mouth.

"Rip!" It tore the man's lower body apart and swallowed it.

"Aaaaaaah!!!!" "Aaaaaaah!!!!" "Aaaaaaah!!!!"

People in the café, especially the women, immediately screamed at high decibels.

Li Jiawei's face turned pale, staring at the monster, her shoulders trembling slightly, clearly terrified.

After all, most people here had only seen such reports on TV, but the vivid scene before their eyes had stunned everyone.

"Aaaaaaah!!!! There's another one! It's coming towards us..." Just as everyone in the café was petrified by the scene, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

As soon as the words were spoken, Ning Yi saw a terrifying black head suddenly appear outside the white railing on the opposite side of where they were sitting.

There was no doubt that it was a Shadow Claw.

"Crack..."

"Crack, crack..." With the sound of the outer glass cracking, the intact glass window instantly shattered and fell to the ground.

Then came a sharp cry, and a woman sitting in that position was suddenly pierced by a giant claw from the air, lifted by the claw, and dragged out.

The girl screamed and then fell silent.

"Run!" Ning Yi, staring at Gao Baozhen and Li Jiawei, who were so frightened that they had forgotten to run, shouted loudly.

Li Jiawei's body trembled, and before she could react, Ning Yi had already rushed to her side, picked her up by the waist, and shouted at Chen Liux, who had a hint of excitement on his face: "Liu, get her out of here."

They had just left their seats.

"Crack, crack!" A nearly one-meter-long sharp claw, like a glass cutter, easily sliced the entire white railing into two pieces, sending the chair they had just been sitting on flying into the air.

The claw then plunged into the ground, and the next moment, a dark, terrifying head with two small tyrannosaurus-like horns appeared at the window, leaping in.

The legendary Shadow Claw had appeared on the left side of the café by the sea, and unexpectedly, it could stand upright, hunching its nearly three-meter-tall massive body, its pair of emerald eyes quickly scanning the remaining people in the café.

Ning Yi's heart turned cold, and a grim warning sounded in his mind: "One mid-rank Red-grade monster, Shadow Claw, detected. Extremely dangerous."

Ning Yi was stunned. Mid-rank Red... He had just scanned the people in the restaurant, and apart from Li Jiawei and himself, there were no other martial artists or quasi-martial artists.

Even if they wanted to resist, they would have no chance of winning.

At that moment, the monster's terrifying, blood-filled mouth was still biting into the bloody half of a corpse, clearly that of the woman. Seeing this gruesome scene, someone immediately vomited.

People were screaming and running for their lives towards the door.

Ning Yi and the other three had just rushed out of the door when they found that the Shadow Claw that had rushed onto the beach had now circled back and blocked the exit of the open-air café.

A middle-aged man who had run too fast was instantly pierced through the waist by the monster, hanging in the air, his head immediately bitten off by the Shadow Claw.

Too gruesome!

Even more unbearable was that nearly twenty people in the café, including the waiters, were now surrounded by the two Shadow Claws.

Calling for help was futile, and even more deadly was that the only ones with any fighting ability in the café were Ning Yi and Li Jiawei; the rest were just prey for the two monsters.

Seeing this, someone immediately began to cry in despair.

"To the restroom... quickly hide in the restroom..." Someone shouted, and immediately people started running to the restroom on the right side of the café, crowding in.

Ning Yi sighed, too naive. The restroom door wouldn't stand a chance against the monster's claws. Running there was like courting death.

Just as Chen Liux was about to follow, Ning Yi shouted, "Don't go..."

This world was too fantastical. A scene that could only appear in a sci-fi movie was now playing out before his eyes.

As he spoke, the monster that had climbed onto the café was already charging towards them, and the one guarding the door was also starting to climb up.
