Chapter 65: Underwater Escape, Firearms Battle
Hearing the news from the communicator that various fishmen were rushing towards this location, Bai Yu’s heart tightened.
The fishmen’s reaction speed was surprisingly fast!?
This had only just formed.
I wonder what abilities this fishman priest possesses.
Bai Yu wasted no words and quickly left the cave.
But unexpectedly, from the west, a black figure was rapidly approaching.
Fishman! An advanced fishman!
This guy actually managed to slip through the surveillance team’s defenses so quickly.
And the combat power of fishmen in water is definitely several times stronger. Bai Yu and the others naturally couldn’t fight, so they immediately used their propellers to escape towards the southeast, an area currently without monsters, while constantly observing other directions.
However, the fishman’s swimming speed in the water was incredibly fast, and it seemed to have taken something out in its hand.
The next moment, several rapid currents surged towards the group.
Qin Wanqing immediately took action, blocking the attacks with three barriers.
The fluctuations from the outbreak of combat shook the lake water and stirred up the mud from the lakebed, temporarily obscuring vision.
Li Yunbin pointed backward with one hand, and with a ‘whoosh,’ his long sword dragged through the turbulent water, rapidly attacking, but he couldn’t see the battle situation.
After unleashing his attack, he quickly gave a command: “Surface immediately! Swim towards the southeast, there’s a small river channel in that area.”
“Understood!”
The group hadn’t swum far before the advanced fishman quickly caught up from behind.
It could be seen that there was a gash on its shoulder, blood mixing with the lake water.
Before the group could launch an attack, they saw seven or eight more figures arriving from the north!
If they were on land, they would naturally have attacked directly.
But at this moment, with the enemy’s numbers unknown, it was difficult to engage.
Seeing the enemies rapidly approaching, Li Yunbin threw a talisman, and four invisible swords swiftly attacked the group of fishmen.
At the same time, with a “boom~” sound.
A submarine drone rapidly charged towards the group of fishmen and detonated violently.
The turbulent lake water instantly shattered the internal organs of several fishmen.
Instant kill!
Even the advanced fishman, twenty meters away, was blown away by the impact.
This was the terrifying power of a bomb exploding underwater!
The four swords released by the talisman rapidly tore through, instantly killing the injured group of fishmen.
As a result, more than ten black shadows appeared in the distance.
The fishmen were gathering faster than expected!
Li Yunbin issued a command: “Demolition team, stop these fishmen’s pursuit with all your might!”
Then he looked at Bai Yu and the others: “Let’s go!”
The group didn’t delay, but the fishmen were incredibly fast in the water and extremely frenzied, charging forward desperately.
“Boom~ Boom~”
One submarine drone after another detonated violently, creating large vacuum bubbles underwater. The terrifying shockwaves heavily damaged a large number of fishmen, temporarily halting the enemy’s offensive.
South of Cloud Lake.
They had conducted a sweep around eleven o’clock and had set up a cordon far away.
However, the manpower wasn’t sufficient to seal off the entire Qingyun River and the north shore of Cloud Lake, so most fishmen infiltrated from these two directions.
At this moment, heavy rain poured down, but the group paid no mind to the rain, intently watching the monitoring panel of the submarine drones and operating them nervously.
Wei Yunfei, the captain of the Second team, was shocked to see so many fishmen appearing on the screen.
“We’ve conducted a major cleanup of the fishmen during this period, how can there still be so many!?”
“What kind of treasure could make the Fishman Race go to such lengths?”
The black shadows on the screen numbered at least sixty to seventy. And there were at least six advanced fishmen!
And this was just within the span of ten to twenty minutes.
Suddenly, a massive creature flashed across the screen at an astonishing speed.
The nearby detection instruments fluctuated.
After seeing the information, Wei Yunfei excitedly said: “Captain! There’s a Spirit Yuan Realm creature, with an energy reaction level of 16-18. Its length should be 7-8 meters, and its swimming posture is somewhat like a crocodile.”
“Yes, I understand. Take those things and immediately head to the river channel southeast of Cloud Lake to rendezvous.”
“Understood!”
After ending the communication, Wei Yunfei immediately said: “Fifth squad stays, all other combat personnel follow me to the river channel southeast of Cloud Lake!”
Southeast of Cloud Lake.
Zhao Bin was the first to surface. He glanced at the surrounding lake surface and found it to be a pale red!
Seeing this, he was startled and asked on the channel: “Is anyone injured?”
Bai Yu: “I’m not.”
“No.” “.”
All five reported their status and surfaced one after another, also seeing the pale red color and feeling somewhat confused.
Whose blood was it? Or was there an ambush?
Liu Feifei saw something and called out: “Look at the ten-meter cliff over there, there’s a drainage pipe, it looks like it’s flowing from inside!”
Understanding the reason, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Such sewage discharge on a rainy day was absolutely detestable! And red, it could even be a murder case. But the situation was urgent, and there was no time to investigate.
Movement also came from behind. Bai Yu and the others saw a monster with sword dragon-like plates on its back rapidly charging towards them.
Li Yunbin threw three talismans, and instantly, the power of a strong wind swept their bodies up and towards the cliff above the shore.
“Splash~”
The approximately 8-meter-long crocodile-like monster leaped out of the lake, its plates emitting a blue-purple glow, seemingly gathering energy.
Bai Yu was stunned to see this scene.
It looked like half a Godzilla!
Damn!
Has this world gone this crazy?
Just as he was thinking of quickly retrieving the Scepter of Thunder he carried on his diving suit to intercept this monster.
“Whoosh~”
A scorching tail flame streaked through the air.
It was actually a rocket!
With a loud “boom~” sound.
Before the giant monster could unleash its attack, it was hit, instantly erupting into a massive fireball. The intense explosion wave spread through the air, and huge ripples formed on the lake below.
Bright red blood splattered on the lake surface.
The heavily injured giant monster fell into the water.
Bai Yu and the others seized this opportunity to land on the cliff edge and quickly removed their diving gear without any delay.
“Phew~”
After removing their gear, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at the lake surface, where dense black shadows began to appear and rapidly climbed ashore, erupting into fierce combat.
The combat members of the Seventh Group took out rocket launchers, grenades, and other firearms from their vehicles, fiercely bombarding the group of fish monsters.
In a short moment, a large number of fish monsters floated dead on the surface.
Bai Yu: “Damn! So cool! Give me a few too.”
After speaking, Bai Yu grabbed a box of grenades and began throwing them wildly.
“Bang~ Bang~ Bang~”
The powerful firepower suppressed the enemy, preventing them from raising their heads.
After being hit by the rocket, the giant monster submerged and had not reappeared since.
But Bai Yu knew that for the Dragon Pearl, the Fishman Race would definitely send more troops here.
Perhaps, beings like the priest would even personally appear!
Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn’t help but get a headache.
Even if the priest didn’t act this time, the Seventh Group had caused such a huge commotion, the Fishman Race would definitely know something was wrong, and there would likely be continuous trouble later.
Unable to think of a solution, Bai Yu instinctively asked: “Captain, the priest might make a move, what do we do next?”
Li Yunbin showed a reassuring smile: “Don’t worry! I have a plan.”
Although Bai Yu felt that the captain might not be able to deal with the priest, this smile did make Bai Yu relax considerably!
The fierce battle was in full swing.
Numerous firearms were unleashed upon the fishmen.
Body Refining realm and ordinary Qi Gathering realm cultivators found it difficult to contend with firearms.
As for the Spirit Yuan Realm cultivators among the fishmen, they were still hiding in the water!
“Boom~ Boom~ Boom~”
Another three consecutive rocket explosions occurred directly underwater.
The high-pressure shockwaves instantly tore apart the surrounding fishmen, with severed limbs and broken arms splashing along with the water.
The blood-red water surface was torn apart by the shockwaves of the explosions, forming huge whirlpools.
But just as the battle intensified.
“Splash~”
A humanoid figure burst out of the water. It was a female fishman! Her human-like face was clearly visible.
She held a scepter in her hand, and a waterspout appeared on the lake behind her. She pointed it at Bai Yu and the others, and the waterspout instantly attacked.
And while everyone’s attention was on her, from below the cliff, a full eight figures suddenly emerged, all advanced fishmen!
One advanced fishman had incredibly sharp fins on its arm, comparable to blades.
A silver light flashed, attacking a man wielding a rocket launcher, who was a member of the Second team.
Wei Yunfei exclaimed: “Careful!”
A purple light screen instantly rose, blocking the attack, but it also showed some cracks.
Naturally, Qin Wanqing had intervened.
Bai Yu couldn’t stand idly by either. He wanted to test his strength now, and the Thunder Magic Staff in his hand emitted lightning.
The sky seemed to respond to him, and a bright white lightning bolt rapidly descended, pouring into the scepter.
“Palm Lightning!”
Guiding it with his own spiritual energy, a giant lightning palm slammed towards the group of advanced fishmen.
“Boom~”
With one palm strike, many fishmen were scorched black.
The advanced fishman took a full hit of lightning, its upper body completely blackened, and it fell into the water, its eyes filled with malice.
Bai Yu’s attack stunned the members of the other teams.
Isn’t he a new member? How is he so fierce!
But this was a battle, and they couldn’t afford to be stunned!
In the rain, Bai Yu was like a divine aid, lightning surging around him, and bolts of heavenly lightning descended.
The immense power of thunder, channeled through the scepter in his hand, attacked the fish swarm ahead.
“God of Thunder, aid me!”
“Rumble!”
Several bright white lightning bolts descended, forming an electric net on the lake surface.
Although the individual power wasn’t strong, the range was wide and the energy immense, heavily injuring many fishmen.
Seeing Bai Yu, the fishman priest instantly conjured dozens of water arrows and attacked directly.
Bai Yu remained completely calm.
Sister Wanqing’s barrier generated the next moment.
“Splash~”
All attacks were blocked.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu clenched his right hand, and the Gungnir technique from the Second Page rapidly took shape.
With a flash of purple arc light, with a ‘whoosh,’ it shot towards the fish swarm below.
The lightning spear acted like a lightning rod, instantly guiding more than ten lightning bolts to descend.
“Rumble~”
The thunderous sound lingered.
Immense thunder raged across the lake, killing many fishmen directly.
However, Bai Yu felt a slight numbness on his body and slightly reduced his power. He was more concerned about being focused-fired by the fishmen, especially the potential fishman priest.
‘Meow meow meow, this isn’t my home ground. I should be more careful for now.’
Li Yunbin, standing beside him, clearly sensed this and immediately ordered: “All units, open fire!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”
“Rumble~”
Countless firearms unleashed their terrifying might.
Seeing this, Bai Yu also took the opportunity to reduce his effort and discreetly blended into the crowd.
After a round of concentrated fire, which briefly repelled the fishmen’s first wave of attack, everyone thought there would be a pause.
But there was movement on the water again. The scepter in the female fishman’s hand emitted a ghostly light, and the lake surface actually churned up a massive wave, twenty meters high!
And it was faintly visible that many fishmen were hidden within the giant wave.
Seeing the approaching giant wave, the group felt like they were in a disaster movie about the end of the world.
But at this moment, a cold snort came from the air.
“Hmph!”
