Chapter 1744: Chapter 59 Silver Hair Shark Ship
“Is that a Demon Ship Mu Nianqi has? How did you get it?” Jiang Xiuming was very curious, “It couldn’t have been sitting in a shipyard waiting for you to take it, right?”
“After clearing the first game, weren’t we rewarded with a chance to spin the roulette? You can choose a treasure, and it will point to the exact direction. Whether you can seize it depends on your skills.” Lu Fan was very pleased, “We’ve taken down eighty-six sea ships already.”
“Tang Zheng, quickly use your roulette spin, let’s go grab another Demon Ship.” Jiang Xiuming also wanted to captain a Demon Ship, chasing a fleet and beating them up. That feeling must be exhilarating.
“Don’t waste it,” Yin Shangwu disapproved, “Dantai might also have a Demon Ship. Once we regroup, we won’t be weak, and besides, there are only five days left. It’s not necessary.”
“Why has the red dot disappeared?” Fang Zhiwen, unsure how to chime in to increase her presence, suddenly shouted as the red dot disappeared from the map on her wristwatch.
“Someone must have beaten us to it, let’s hurry, maybe we can intercept them,” Dong Zixuan urged.
The Skeleton Sailors worked even harder, tirelessly toiling away.
The middle-aged woman’s fleet had just killed a Sea Monster and was about to give the order to return, when terrified shouts from the watchtower rang out.
“Captain, it’s a warship, many of them!”
“What are you standing there for? Run for your lives!” the middle-aged woman roared, but it was too late, as Mu Nianqi and Elizabeth’s warships simultaneously launched their assault skills.
The two warships sliced through the sea like daggers, blocking the middle-aged woman’s path.
“An old foe, isn’t she the one who killed Yu Deye? We can finally get revenge now.” Jiang Xiuming couldn’t see a way she could survive.
The two women started competing again, bombarding their designated targets fiercely.
The middle-aged woman hadn’t even thought of counterattacking, abandoning her companions, ordering her flagship to flee at full speed.
The other sea ships attacked unhurriedly, but there were too many. A volley of fire would be over a thousand cannon shells, even if only a third hit, it would cause significant damage to the enemy.
Amidst the thunderous roar of cannon fire, sailors screamed. Two even tried to raise a white flag and surrender but were killed by the middle-aged woman.
“Victory is assured,” Jiang Xiuming began to hum a little tune, looking relaxed.
Ruan Feifei wanted to show off, her warship charging in, but before catching the middle-aged woman’s flagship, a massive, hundred-meter-long belly ‘Shark’ shot up from the seabed, crashing directly into the bottom of her flagship.
With a boom, the flagship with cracks in its hull was lifted skyward, soaring over fifty meters. The Shark’s back opened honeycomb-like holes, furiously launching cannon shells.
In a blaze of flames, the flagship was hit, shattered, and the bloodied sailors fell howling.
Crash, the wreckage of the flagship plunged into the sea and began to sink.
This was a Shark Ship, capable of diving and equipped with powerful firepower, its back re-opened the honeycomb-like holes, launching another volley of shells.
The Ghost Ship was under concentrated fire.
Tang Zheng deployed the Gravity Abyss, deflecting the cannon shells about to hit the ship.
The Shark Ship was treacherous, mixing some magic bullets among the regular shells. Unfortunately, they didn’t get close to the Ghost Ship and were set off, exploding like fireworks in the sky.
Tang Zheng swung his right arm, the Hand of Gravity enveloping the second volley of shells, hurling them back at the Shark Ship.
The Shark Ship dived.
“Watch out!”
Cautionary cries erupted, as Conquerors from both sides tensed. Facing such an elusive ‘submarine’, they felt somewhat helpless.
Splaaash, the Shark Ship almost grazed the Ghost Ship as it burst forth, the seawater it carried rose tens of meters high, pouring like heavy rain onto the deck.
“Open fire!” Tang Zheng roared.
Boom, boom!
The deafening cannon fire drowned everything, as both sides fired a volley simultaneously.
The Shark Ship had gun ports all over, extraordinarily fierce, but against Tang Zheng, it found no advantage, all attacks were blocked, while it took a couple of hits itself.
Yet the Shark Ship was robust, suffering no damage at all.
Boom, the Shark Ship crashed into the sea surface, water splashing everywhere, sending waves that rocked nearby sea ships unsteady.
Crrrunch, crunch, the white ice layer spread rapidly, covering the Shark Ship, as Li Xinlan sought to prevent it from diving again.
“Who is this guy? Why is he only giving us trouble?” Jiang Xiuming sent out a Mental Impact to stun the opponent, but was immediately counterattacked, his head spinning.
The Shark Ship didn’t hurry to escape but instead opened its hatch, a young man with silver hair climbed out.
“Tang Zheng, you’re quite powerful!” He whistled playfully, surveying the deck, “Tsk tsk, the team with the second most members, yet ranked only in the twenties, truly embarrassing.”
“You don’t need to worry about it.” Lu Fan pouted his lips, aiming the Fiery Stardust at the Shark Ship, ready to fire.
Yin Shangwu restrained Little Lolita, noticing that the opponent seemed to lack the intention of engaging.
“Either fight or get lost, I don’t have time for your nonsense.” For some reason, Tang Zheng instinctively disliked this guy.
“Good man Tang rarely gets angry, I’m actually a bit scared.” The Silver Hair made a shivering gesture and suddenly slapped the ship’s body.
Boom, the Shark Ship fired a volley.
Tang Zheng was already prepared for this guy, not only did he activate the defense shield, but the Hand of Gravity also expanded significantly, catching all the cannon shells and smashing them back.
The Shark Ship remained unscathed, and the Silver Hair even grabbed one of the cannon shells, suddenly swinging his arm to throw it.
The shell flew straight out, moving so fast that the air wave it created plowed a meter-deep furrow into the sea surface.
Boom, a warship was hit, and the entire hull was pierced through, the attack was even more powerful than those fired by cannons.
“What do you want to do?” Jiang Xiuming’s face was solemn, this guy was definitely a formidable opponent, his strength certainly at Fourth Order.
“Don’t be tense, just happened to come across, so I dropped by to say hello.” Silver Hair laughed, “Try harder, I’m waiting to see you clear the level.”
“Who exactly are you?” Tang Zheng frowned.
Silver Hair shrugged his shoulders and ducked into the cabin.
“Reinforce the ice layer.” Tang Zheng thought of an answer, his gaze changed, intending to stop him and clarify.
The Ice Age spread, but it was still a step too late, the Shark Ship rotated, churned the ice layer, and submerged, a few seconds later, it emerged in Elizabeth’s fleet, overturning two warships, and under their concentrated fire, calmly escaped.
“This guy is very peculiar.” Lu Fan rubbed his chin, “Never seen such a person before, wait, hadn’t seen his team in previous games either?”
The Conquerors had good memory, just a glance could store for a period, but upon careful recolleciton, they found there’s hardly any memory about Silver Hair.
“Could he be the Silver Trojan?” Tao Ran suddenly interjected, catching everyone’s attention.
Black Long Straight immediately became uneasy.
“Why say that?” Dong Zixuan clenched his fist, her goal was to bring the Silver Trojan to justice.
“Just a guess, though the voice wasn’t mechanical, yet that tone, combined with the expression, simply seemed punch-worthy.” Tao Ran was not fond of talking, but was thoughtful.
“Couldn’t be?” Jiang Xiuming gasped, feeling his teeth ache, “If all the major district Trojans also take part, wouldn’t the game’s difficulty increase significantly?”
In Jiang Xiuming’s view, each major Trojan is the highest ruler of Trojan World.
“They should also face some restrictions.” Tang Zheng pondered, “I always feel there’s someone behind them, like who set the rules? Who built the Trojan Room?”
“Hmm, I feel Trojans are more like humans rather than artificial intelligence.” Lu Fan recalled everything about the Trojan, making a judgment.
“Why bother with all that, first kill sea monsters to accumulate points, as long as they’re still in the Holy Land War, inevitably we’ll run into them, then just ask them?” Yin Shangwu’s words carried an indescribable cruelty; the fewer teams remaining in the later stages, naturally they’ll meet.
Having lost two ships, Elizabeth was certainly not going to let it go, even ignoring the remaining enemies, chasing in the direction the Shark Ship left.
“What a pity, if cooperated once, mutually beneficial.” Jiang Xiuming sighed, if the two fleets combined, killing sea monsters would be faster, moreover facing the War King would be a fight.
“You can forget it, these seeds have an arrogance, completely impossible to cooperate with others.” Lu Fan rolled his eyes, “Even someone like Zhuo Lie, who lacks integrity, wouldn’t team up with others.”
After two days, the Warhammer team’s position was still over twenty, while the fierce contention was around the three hundred ranked teams, falling below meant death.
After killing a dozen sea monsters, everyone gradually grasped the pattern, these monsters’ strengths vary, those formidable ones even two Demon Ships unleashing full firepower couldn’t heavily wound them quickly, weaker ones could be handled by a single warship.
“Trojans are purely parent-trapping, why the points for killing a sea monster are identical? For such powerful ones, there should be triple the points.” Jiang Xiuming looked at three sunk warships, tears nearly flowing.
No chance for probing, a sea monster’s strength continually changes during combat, possibly ridiculously strong initially, yet a minute later becomes weak as a chicken, or nearing death its strength might surge, utterly tormenting.
The red dot lit up, indicating a sea monster’s appearance, Warhammer crew immediately sailed full speed, as the sea monster came into view, Tang Zheng also saw the intense ongoing naval battle.
Dozens of sea ships surrounding a Demon Ship blasting wildly, yet the opponent not only withstanding the offensive, counterattacks constantly sinking enemy ships.
The widely numerous coalition’s morale kept dropping, finally after two more sank, someone couldn’t bear it and started withdrawing from the battle.
“Counter, sink them for me.” Zhuo Lie was furious, his fleet was ambushed, if not for a Demon Ship, surely it would’ve been annihilated.
“Luck really lousy, how come bumped into seeds?” Coalition side complained incessantly, they’re mid-ranked teams relying on sea monsters for traps, ambushed incoming fleet, had been smooth previously, but never expected today’s encounter with the Superpower ESP team.
Seed teams aren’t incapable of fighting, after all, their side has a Demon Ship intimidatingly stationed, but didn’t expect Zhuo Lie also to have one, thus battle dragged into impasse.
