Infinite Bloodcore-Chapter 308 - : Section 96: Preparation

Chapter 308: Section 96: Preparation

The Mei Lan Temple was not an easy place to breach.

It could be said to be extremely difficult!

After all, it was the Main Temple of a deity, fortified with very strict defenses. According to Feng Yao’s intelligence, the Main Temple was home not only to the Holy Beast but also to a large number of clergy and temple guards.

The clergy of the Mei Lan deity specialized in deception and disguise, having multiple identities, so the believers within the Main Temple also came from a wide range of sources, not only Fishmen but also Naga, mermaids, Sea Elves, and so on.

Although the Justice Pirate Group had been rapidly developing since its inception, expanding forcefully, and growing at an astonishing rate, surpassing a thousand members,

with several Silver Level powerhouses serving as senior members, having defeated the Gold and Silver Hook brothers, the Justice Pirate Group had already made a bit of a name for itself in the Night Spirit Sea Domain.

...

But compared to the stationary forces of the Mei Lan deity’s Main Temple, they still seemed like a small arm and leg.

Fortunately, having reached a temporary alliance with Feng Yao, the Justice Pirate Group now temporarily had a Golden Level powerhouse.

The concern was that this bard’s stance was very unclear.

It was very possible that upon reaching the depths of the temple, he would be turned against them by the Mei Lan deity.

Was he a powerful arm of support, or a delayed exploding bomb?

It was hard to say.

But the Justice Pirate Group had already been driven to the edge of the cliff, with the stock of Pearl Bubble nearing depletion.

They had no choice but to make the plunge.

The day of the Sky Pillar Sea Eye eruption drew closer and closer, and everyone was preparing with all their might.

At the heart of the Sky Pillar Sea Eye,

a Frozen Land Whale was being besieged by the Justice Pirate Group.

The scene was like ten hyenas encircling a giant elephant.

The immense Frozen Land Whale let out a long whale call, and the seawater around it seemed to heed its invitation, swelling up into a huge wave.

The enormous waves slammed against the ten warships of the Justice Pirate Group.

Each warship tilted before steadfastly resisting the pressure.

The waves carried a powerful slap, but to little effect.

Witnessing this scene, Cang Xu felt a wave of relief.

Most of the pirate ships had been reinforced with a layer of crystal gel, personally applied by Cang Xu himself.

The crystal gel coating the hull was a once-popular alchemy technique that significantly improved the ship’s resistance to water pressure.

The hulls of the Justice Pirate Group became much more resilient.

Of course, not all ships were covered with a layer of crystal gel. The Justice was an exception.

This was because the Justice itself was the latest ship model of the Empire, crafted with metal coating alchemy technology, superior to the crystal gel.

Splash, splash, splash…

The huge waves attacked in endless succession.

Although the Justice Pirate Group could resist the exclusion of the massive waves, the bombs fired were weakened by the layers of waves. The ships, trying to approach the Frozen Land Whale, were also repelled by the massive waves.

The Frozen Land Whale’s Magic Crystal grew above its forehead, clear and translucent, like a deep blue crystal mirror, exposed on the outside.

At this moment, the Magic Crystal shone brightly, consuming the vast Magic Power to maintain this Talent Ability that came naturally.

Zong Ge, the Half-Beast, commanded this naval battle.

Usually, the Dragon-man youth delegated authority to him. Because Zong Ge’s command on the battlefield far exceeded that of the youth.

Seeing the unending waves, Zong Ge decisively ordered, “All combat ships, submerge into the sea!”

The command was instantly transmitted across all ships through the Magic Device, followed by flags signaling the same message.

So, cries of “Prepare to submerge!” erupted from each pirate ship.

On the decks, pirates moved swiftly, personnel hustled, and all unrelated individuals entered the cabins.

Those who remained were mostly Transcendents.

These individuals skillfully pulled out potions and drank them in one gulp.

Magic Potion—Underwater Breathing!

The helmsman pulled the lever, simultaneously bellowing, “Begin flooding!”

The ship’s bottom and cabin lit up with magic’s glow, the hull turning transparent, the previously tight boards dissolving into nothingness as copious amounts of seawater were sucked into the ballast tanks.

The pirate ships rapidly sank.

Soon, the water level rose above the decks.

Pirates lingering on the decks swiftly tied themselves around the waist with ropes and widened their eyes as they entered the water.

The Underwater Breathing Potions took effect, and they breathed freely underwater.

Almost simultaneously with the submarines’ descent, Fishmen warriors came swarming, shouting as they charged.

Pirates wielding various weapons, scimitars and Stabbing Swords, and the like, engaged in combat with the Fishmen.

Cannon ports opened, one by one, cannons were pushed out.

The surging seawater, however, was powerless against these cannons, as they too were coated with a thick layer of crystal gel.

Even between the cannons and the muzzle was a layer of gel, sealing out the water.

The gunners had been ready for a while, and upon hearing the command, they opened fire.

Magic Power from the Mana Pool was channeled into these Bronze Cannons, Black Iron Cannons, and Silver Cannons.

Boom, boom, boom!

Cannons fired, stirring up terrifying swirls.

Various shrapnel shells exploded in the water, and Fishmen screamed amidst the plasma; scattering iron spikes shot them dead, leaving them resembling hedgehogs.

Within a few breaths, the space between the pirate ships was almost completely emptied of Fishmen and sea beasts. Only a small portion on the decks still put up a stubborn resistance.

Zong Ge ordered again, aiming the cannon muzzles at the frozen land whale.

The frozen land whale stopped its Talent Ability and dived into the sea to engage the Justice Pirate Group.

Soon, the Silver Level sea beast was hit by numerous bombs, becoming scarred and battered.

Zong Ge, through the Magic Device, watched the battle situation with rapt attention.

A glimmer of sharpness flashed in his eyes, “Order, switch all Silver Cannons to Drill Gun Bullets!”

The Drill Gun Bullets, shaped like long spears with spiraled heads, once fired, would spin rapidly, drilling through the water and deeply embedding into the body of the frozen land whale.

After that, the whale’s blood would spray out continuously along the hollow gun barrel.

Thus, the frozen land whale gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Feng Yao watched the battle from aboard the Justice.

The endless variety of ammunition used by the Justice Pirate Group surprised him.

“Never thought that half-beast could actually have such command talent, under his direction, the ten pirate ships move in and out with rationale, cooperating with each other. The encirclement they formed seems fragile, but in reality, it’s very tough, firmly trapping the frozen land whale.”

“His aura is very close to Golden Level now. Once he gains promotion, he might give Captain Long Fu a headache.”

“Hehe, the battle is decided.”

The frozen land whale seemed to sense its end, launching its final counterattack.

Ice cones rained down like a torrential downpour from it as the center, indiscriminately striking in all directions.

The first to suffer were its vassal Fishmen. Then, numerous ice cones pierced through the crystal film glue and shot into the ship’s hull.

With great force, the ice cones pierced even the Justice, which was coated with metal.

At the cannon position, Bai Ya was bent over, lifting a bomb, intending to load it into the cannon muzzle when an ice cone came hurtling, nearly piercing his head.

The crystal film glue broke, and seawater rushed in.

But Bai Ya remained unflustered, having long drunk an Underwater Breathing Potion.

However, the next moment, a Fishman Warrior suddenly squeezed through the breach in the crystal film glue and into the ship.

His trident aimed directly at Bai Ya’s face.

Bai Ya’s pupils constricted sharply. Death loomed suddenly, leaving him powerless to resist!

The trident came to a halt a finger’s width from Bai Ya’s eyes, and the Fishman in front of him also showed a look of terror.

The next moment, the Fishman was yanked away with a swoosh.

There was a crisp crack, and the Bronze Level Fishman Warrior was bent backward, breaking and dying on the spot.

“Ow! Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling…”

Bai Ya heard the roar of the Big Guy again, but the roar cut off abruptly, followed by the sounds of him being flooded with seawater.

“It was him who saved me!” Bai Ya instantly realized who his savior was.

This was just a corner of the battlefield.

The real decisive battle had already begun.

The gaze of Cang Xu, Zong Ge, and Feng Yao, among others, was fixed on the Fishman youth.

Now that his secret of mutating into a Fishman was exposed, the youth brazenly transformed in public, and in the form of a Fishman, killed his way to the front of the frozen land whale.

Holding dual blades, he exhibited the Red Scales Chaotic Dance. With his Wave Stepping technique, he moved with extraordinary agility.

The low-intelligence, massive-bodied frozen land whale was butchered by the swirling blades, howling continuously.

“So it turns out that Captain Long Fu’s real identity isn’t that of a Dragon-man.”

“He’s actually a Druid, and the Dragon-man is just one of his many transformation forms.”

“With his combined talents in magic and martial arts, no wonder the Lion Flag has submitted to him!”

Under the youth’s secret arrangements, “answers” and “truths” spread rapidly among the pirates.

Feng Yao’s gaze lingered on the Fishman youth, having profoundly experienced the fierceness of the youth’s blade skills.

“But that Golden Level sea beast never showed up.” Feng Yao harbored a grudge against the mysterious sea beast that almost killed him. Yet, during his days with the Justice Pirate Group, he couldn’t find any information on the sea beast.

He understood that this was probably Captain Long Fu’s hidden ace.

“This guy is very cunning indeed.”

“The Druid identity, has only now truly been exposed.”

“No, maybe he’s not a Druid at all. His ability to transform into two different forms could also be due to flesh-and-blood magic or an Evil God’s blessing.”

“Hmm?” A thrill of horror suddenly surged in Feng Yao’s heart.

The next moment, he saw the Fishman youth suddenly revert back to his Dragon-man form, then draw a gun from his waist.

With the gun aimed at the frozen land whale beneath the youth’s feet, he promptly pulled the trigger.

Roar!!!

The phantom of a Fire Dragon flashed and was gone in an instant, while its roaring filled the entire battlefield.

A bullet, condensed from Fire Element, shot fiercely into the brain case of the frozen land whale, and then, with a boom, it exploded.

Most of the frozen land whale’s head was blown away, with blood gushing wildly, instantly drowning out the youth’s figure.

“What sort of weapon is that? Just now, did I feel a hint of a Legendary Level presence?” Feng Yao’s expression changed, his heart greatly shaken.
