Chapter 217: Water Demons

Splash!

However, as members from a settlement of pirates, they had clear advantages in the water. action

In particular, they had a warship that had clearly been modified. It was covered with a thick iron layer and installed with a lot of cannons on both sides!

Boom, boom, boom...

After approaching the battlefield, the warship launched cannonballs upon the Yuan army from a long distance away.

Those cannons weren’t as powerful as those commanded by Ling Zhen on the city wall, but they were still reasonably destructive.

There were also firearms apart from artilleries.

Bam!

Faced with the fuming stones that the Yuan army launched from the shore with slings, a hero held a blunderbuss that looked absolutely obsolete and fired bullets that hit the stones in midair. The bullets were so powerful that they blew up the stones.

Clearly, the weapon had been upgraded by the Stone of Civilization.

Whoosh!

The pirate player who had braids on his head was carrying what appeared to be a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Boom!

He fired a rocket right back at a sling as a counterattack, detonating the sling and setting it ablaze immediately!

Clearly, the settlement of the pirates must’ve been set in the modern age, so they were able to develop firearms on a large scale.

Gurgle, gurgle...

However, the Yuan people had unusual methods exactly like the Song people did.

At this moment, in the dirty water underneath the Song ships, bubbles were popping up!

If one were to look into the water, one would see a hundred soldiers who were holding chisels and grappling hooks in the water, all ready to take action.

On the other side, some Yuan soldiers were holding luggage and swimming to the bottom of the Song ships!

“The Water Soldiers of Yuan are coming...”

Some Song soldiers who were good at swimming had been sent into the water as precautions. When they spotted the enemy, they changed their expressions and hoped to alarm their companions by throwing up the signaling items in their hands.

Schwing!

However, from their back emerged strangers where there had been nothing. They raised weapons that looked like chisels and pecked at the back of those soldiers’ heads.

“The Water Demons!”

On the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s boat, Ruan Xiaoer remarked as he looked at the picture that Ji Ye’s Mirage Dragon Pearl displayed.

Just like the Shadow Assassins, the Water Demons were all experts above Extraordinary Rank-5.

More importantly, they could hide in the water like the Dragon Tooth Battalion of the Twin Dragon Mount fort. They were even better at stealth and wouldn’t be exposed even when they were moving.

“Report to the general that the Yuan navy is here...”

On the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s warship, Ruan Xiaoer was giving a command to an officer who was wearing a thick hat.

“Master, I’ll take care of him!”

Then, staring at a soldier who was fighting a Yuan Water Demon right below the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s warship via the Mirage Cloud Mirror, Ruan Xiaoer jumped into the water with the Tiger Shark Saber.

“Damn it! I was too late!”

Soon after he dived into the water, Ruan Xiaoer activated the Extraordinary power on his tiger shark battlesuit. Plus the ability of the Dragon Tooth on his waist, he was able to reach a Water Demon who had just plucked the chisel from the head of the Song soldier and slashed out his Tiger Shark Saber.

The sharp blade aura of his saber cut apart the neck of this Water Demon. It even pressed on for more than ten meters and chopped several Water Soldiers who were attempting to sink the ship.

“Awoo!”

A purple tiger shark then appeared and swallowed the blood that those Water Soldiers spilled out.

Because he trained the navy of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, and he defended the settlement core with the Dragon Tooth Guards, creating an opportunity for Ji Ye to destroy the Eagle Men’s settlement core, Ruan Xiaoer was also rewarded with an Extraordinary Rank-6 Stone of Civilization after the Ten-Species Competition quest.

He made a similar choice to Wu Song’s and simply strengthened his weapon.

As a result, in terms of sharpness, the saber that was made of the fins of a tiger shark was only second to the Soul Slasher that Ji Ye obtained the previous night.

More importantly, this saber had a natural thirst for blood. Theoretically speaking, as long as its Extraordinary power wasn’t exhausted, it would grow more and more powerful as it killed creatures that had blood.

Hum!

However, while the few Common Extraordinary Water Soldiers died without suspense, the Water Demon whose neck was cut was still able to move horizontally for a while.

Then, like a real Water Demon, he reconnected his neck, and he seemed safe and sound!

The Water Demons’ special ability was similar to the Shadow Assassins’. They could transform their bodies into some sort of water so that the supposedly fatal attacks wouldn’t kill them.

“But this does not seem very reasonable.

“Such a complete transformation of status theoretically exceeds the limitations of ‘Extraordinary’ and falls into the category of ‘Transcendent’, right?

“But it’s unlikely for a Common Water Demon to master Transcendent power, is it?” Wu Qiao remarked while feeling confused about it.

At this moment, Han Meimei suddenly opened her mouth and said, “Wait, it’s an array!”

The battle participants of Yuan had secretly set up an array in the water.

Now that the array was activated, the view from top to down became slightly abnormal in the water.

Boom! Boom!

Furthermore, the Yuan navy also mastered devices that were similar to bombs.

Those “bombs” could even be detonated underwater. Even though the Song warships had water-tight compartments, they weren’t of much help when they were blown up by a couple of bombs.

In just the blink of an eye, a dozen warships began to sink into the river!

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

The soldiers who jumped into the river were killed by Yuan’s Water Soldiers and Water Demons.

However, it did not happen to the warship of the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

It was because Ruan Xiaoer, who had killed the Water Demon with the senses of the Dragon Tooth, wasn’t the only one who was defending the water.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

There was also a long sword that was covered in the shadows of a black Flood Dragon.

At this moment, the long sword moved quickly in the water and penetrated the chests of the Water Soldiers.

Furthermore, the Water Demons who were invisible and theoretically unrecognizable unless Ji Ye entered the water in person were pierced through too!

Wheez!

It was only because the pair of Nine-tailed Foxes, which had gained quite some weight over these days, were blinking their sparkling eyes right next to Ji Ye on the deck.

They were quickly swiping their four snow-white claws on the picture projected by the Mirage Dragon Pearl as if they were competing!

When they were swiping with their claws, the Jade Dragon Sword that had turned into a white glow was moving quickly too!

The Nine-tailed Foxes could see through illusions. Even the illusions created by the Mirage Dragon Pearl didn’t work on them.

Naturally, they could see through the Yuan array, which was too wide and therefore not powerful enough.

They could even see where the Water Demons were hiding. As the two Nine-tailed Foxes swiped at the picture, the Jade Dragon Sword moved under Ji Ye’s control accordingly.

A tremendous amount of blood popped up around the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s warship and changed the color of the river.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

However, the blood that emerged around the pirate’s warship was no less than the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s.

They had been taking precautions against the Yuan army’s move too.

Using certain resources, they managed to develop a type of algae that looked like kelps, which they placed below their ship.

Those algae would not only slow down the enemies but also create wave-like paddles in the water to increase the warship’s speed.

When the Water Demons approached, they even tied the enemies up as if they were intelligent.

On the other hand, the bottom of the pirate’s ship could be opened, allowing them to project explosive weapons like torpedoes into the water. So far, a hundred Water Soldiers of Yuan had been injured or killed by these weapons.
