The bullet surged with immense power, transforming into a streak of light that explosively struck a 'Magma Burst Fish' that had already swollen in size, just three to four meters away from the stern of the ship.
Bang.
The body of the 'Magma Burst Fish' was hit by the ice explosive round loaded by Lu Fei Fan, shattering and splattering into the sea, causing waves to rise anew.
Before anyone could react, Lu Fei Fan let out a calm sneer and loaded another explosive round into the chamber. Bang!
In less than half a second of aiming, he decisively fired again. The gun trembled as another burst of fiery light shot forth.
Boom—boom, boom, boom!
Explosions erupted one after another on the sea surface behind, with molten debris flying everywhere, igniting all nearby 'Magma Burst Fish' that had attempted to leap forward. Lu Fei Fan's shot was merely the catalyst for this chain reaction.
Cheers erupted from the ship.
The Second Lieutenant, who had initially intended to remind Lu Fei Fan, now wore a pale expression. He looked at Lu Fei Fan with renewed scrutiny and chose not to say anything further. Instead, he instructed his subordinates to bring over all the sniper rounds he had been keeping for himself and placed them beside Lu Fei Fan.
Below deck, Tao Hua was also drawn in by the series of explosions from the 'Magma Burst Fish.' She peered through the scope of her sniper rifle at the area of water below, curiosity piqued.
“Good shooting,” she remarked as she set down her rifle, offering rare praise. “It seems I was right not to let them slack off in practice!”
Her comment was naturally directed at the sniper team she had trained.
A nearby officer hesitated before speaking up. “It seems... he’s not one of ours.”
“Hmm?” Tao Hua glanced at the officer, who fell silent and dared not continue. She picked up her sniper rifle again to aim but furrowed her brow in concern.
The Ferry shook violently, and then there were deafening booms as cannon fire erupted one after another.
As the number of Magma Burst Fish at the stern increased, groups of Poison Ink Squid began to appear. The seawater was tainted a murky black by the ink sprayed by the squids, and with the tumultuous waves, the Ferry entered a full defensive state!
Metal shells were fired from the artillery, crashing onto the sea surface and exploding continuously, sending waves soaring several meters high. Large numbers of Magma Burst Fish detonated in the dark waters, while swarms of Poison Ink Squid unfortunately became collateral damage. The explosions of the Magma Burst Fish created massive blasts that instantly submerged large areas of the sea.
Amidst the storm, flames erupted like flashes of lightning in the empty sky.
Despite this chaos, as the Ferry retreated, its artillery continued to target the encroaching Sea Beasts, unleashing a relentless barrage. The towering columns of water from the explosions were continuous, yet they still seemed insignificant compared to the massive Water Tornado connecting the sea surface to the dark clouds above.
From above, the rapidly retreating Ferry resembled a solitary beast being pursued by a frenzied Beast Horde. They rushed forward in a chaotic wave, all eager to tear a piece of flesh from this Ferry. Yet, despite its apparent vulnerability, the desperate counterattacks from the Ferry exacted a heavy toll on many Sea Beasts.
Even though the Ferry had reached maximum speed, everyone on board wished it could sprout wings and escape swiftly. However, that was merely a desperate fantasy.
What they could rely on now were their weapons, each person doing their utmost to fulfill their duties. Perhaps this way they could survive and wait for rescue. But… the relentless tide of Sea Beasts showed no signs of abating.
The ship's deck cannons, various sniper rifles, and even energy rifles were all firing in every direction. The incessant sounds of explosions and gunfire filled the air with adrenaline and tension.
Boom!
Another Magma Burst Fish approached the Ferry and exploded violently.
The stern was damaged, sending up a plume of smoke.
"Team One is responsible for extinguishing fires! Everyone else keep shooting!" Da Gang shouted as he hefted a belt of ammunition and gripped his Huo Xiao like a giant warrior firmly stationed at the rear deck. He was a terrifying point of firepower all on his own.
Countless chains of bullets were continuously sprayed from the high-speed rotating gun barrels, like a sharp fire whip fiercely sweeping across the sea surface, causing a number of sea beasts to sink into the depths, only to be quickly replaced by even more sea monsters surging forward.
The explosions of the Magma Burst Fish grew increasingly closer, sometimes occurring just inches away from the ship. Some crew members had already been splattered with molten magma, losing entire arms or thighs in the process!
On deck, a dedicated team was responsible for extinguishing fires, while the injured were carried into the cabin for treatment. Those evaluators who did not participate in the battle acted as temporary caregivers, assisting doctors in rescuing the wounded.
At that moment, the ship trembled violently, as if it had been struck by some object.
Inside the command room.
“What’s happening?” The captain steadied himself and urgently asked.
“Captain! It’s…” The responder hadn’t yet analyzed what it was.
“It’s the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle!” someone interjected.
“What! The Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle?” The captain’s expression changed sharply as he decisively issued orders. “Have all deck cannons aim at the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle and fire! This thing has tough skin and thick flesh; ordinary firepower won’t harm it at all. We must have entered its territory.”
The deck cannons immediately turned their barrels towards the front sea area, targeting the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtles that resembled ancient warships. If these massive creatures collided with the ferry, it would surely spell disaster.
With the rear defenses compromised, pressure mounted significantly. Even Tao Hua had to redeploy energy rocket launcher teams to the front lines.
At the stern, facing countless pursuing sea beasts, relying solely on sniper rifles and standard firepower would be insufficient. Fortunately, several machine guns similar to Da Gang's Huo Xiao were providing cover fire.
Moreover, more and more energy grenades were being thrown out, boom after boom—
The approaching Sea Beasts, whether it was the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle or the Poison Ink Octopus, were all caught in the explosive blasts of the Magma Burst Fish. Many Sea Beasts in the water were killed outright by these detonations.
Amidst such a tense and thrilling battle, something even more comical occurred. After several rapid-fire shots from Niu Dali's Energy Cannon, the barrel became unbearably hot. In a moment of desperation, Lu Fei Fan suggested he relieve himself to cool it down. Niu Dali turned around and attempted to urinate on the two Hand Cannons but was unable to produce a single drop.
Eventually, Lu Fei Fan could no longer bear to watch and kept giving him psychological prompts to encourage him. This tactic had some effect, but just then, an ear-splitting explosion erupted in the nearby water, causing Niu Dali to instinctively hold it back.
In the end, it was one of the nearby soldiers who could no longer stand it and helped him relieve himself, solving the overheating issue of the cannon.
"Man, you guys have some foul-smelling urine! Aside from A Teng's farts and Dali's unwashed underwear and stinky feet, this is probably the worst thing I've ever encountered," Lu Fei Fan remarked as he caught a whiff of the odor from afar.
"Heh heh, that’s called having strong mental fortitude. The more you hold it in, the more you can let out," one of the soldiers replied with a laugh.
Once those warriors finished up, they quickly returned to their posts and grabbed Hand Grenades to throw them outwards. The resulting explosions created a gap among the surrounding Sea Beasts.
Meanwhile, Niu Dali reloaded his Energy Hand Cannon and fired several rounds at the massive creatures on the Sea Surface, hitting several leaping black Poison Ink Squids. The black liquid sprayed everywhere, and many Sea Beasts surfacing from the water were instantly scorched!
"This stuff is going to spray corrosive Venom!" shouted a Second Lieutenant next to Lu Fei Fan.
But just as he finished speaking, Poison Ink Squids leaped up from both sides of the ship and sprayed green liquid towards the Ferry. The Venom splattered onto several soldiers, who immediately screamed in agony as they rolled on the ground. The scalding green Venom corroded their bodies into blood and water.
"Damn it! Die!" Da Gang shouted furiously upon seeing his men perish horrifically. He grabbed a Huo Xiao and began firing wildly, hitting ten Poison Ink Squids that exploded upon impact!
At that moment, someone shouted out.
"The Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle is fighting those Sea Beasts!"
The crowd glanced around, and sure enough, numerous Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtles began to express their displeasure at the large group of Sea Beasts invading their territory. They formed a defensive line in groups to retaliate against the intruders.
The defense of the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtle is famously robust; ordinary cannons would need to fire several rounds just to inflict significant damage. Their shells can heat the surrounding seawater to terrifying temperatures, even boiling it.
Thus, amidst the stormy winds and rain, one could see Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtles thrown into the water like glowing iron blocks. Those Sea Beasts that swarmed in to attack were burned alive or even exploded.
With the "help" of the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtles defending against the enemies, the pressure on the Ferry was significantly reduced. However, the cannons at the front continued firing without pause, still trying to avoid these formidable turtles.
The reduction in pursuers did not mean that danger had been eliminated. The Ferry continued to speed forward, maintaining full firepower, but it was now handling the situation with greater ease.
As a large number of cannon fodder perished or were separated by the Steelrock Red-Shelled Turtles, what remained were the true protagonists making their entrance!
The Thousand-Faced Octopus!
These creatures can mimic any biological attack form. Their tentacles not only allow them to swim and dive but also enable them to walk on land, attacking terrestrial creatures like humans. Among the Sea Beasts in dangerous waters, they are considered quite troublesome. Moreover, these creatures exhibit a remarkable level of organization and discipline, having even developed a basic level of intelligence!
Even more dangerous was what followed behind this group of Thousand-Faced Octopuses that had crazily leaped onto the sea surface with their tentacles almost resembling a sprint.
There was also the Huan Gu Hai Mu She!
