Chapter 271: Passive Solution for Affinity (6k)
World 9805, a certain ocean
At this moment, the sea was anything but calm, as a fleet was engaged in a bloody struggle.
Crew members of various styles were either using magic or high-tech firearms, or even fighting fiercely with their bare bodies, spanning a wide range.
From the roughest warriors wielding swords and guns, to future soldiers using laser weapons brimming with a sense of technology, every imaginable and unimaginable image was gathered in this fleet.
But strangely, the naval cannons set up on the decks of this fleet, composed of hybrid wind-powered sailboats, seemed merely decorative.
All were fighting through their own abilities.
And all of this because their enemies were a group of sea monsters continually crawling up from underwater, terrifying and grotesque in appearance!
At this moment, the sea surrounding each ship had several large tentacles half a meter thick, constantly trying to get close, but were repelled by the crew using various powerful weapons or skills.
However, the hulls' pits and damage proved their efforts... only stopped at the level of effort.
Even though these Tier Six strong individuals were very hardworking, their ships had inherent weaknesses and couldn't fully cover the bottom's defense.
The most important thing was, they had to face not only these large tentacles but also the sea monsters climbing along them onto the ship.
These smaller sea monsters were weaker but surprisingly held strength at the Tier Six standard, with varying abilities, making them extremely troublesome.
Without being somewhat "Hero" units, their fleet might not have lasted these ten minutes...
Like those big, fleshy fish-heads acting as meat shields, not only could they cast spells, but they also kept spreading that corroding black blood flesh around the ships.
And that particularly "distinctive-looking" large flower emitted explosive Spiritual damage, to which even they had to be cautious.
Not to mention other equally overpowered sea monsters.
In order to survive in these sea monsters, even the fleet's captain, the Lord of this ocean fleet, joined the battle.
His flagship had already been destroyed by strange means at the start of the assault; now, he was on an auxiliary vessel.
As an Ocean Lord, he initially thought that with his ship's Hero units, he could at least rival with this world's top-ranking Fan Mao.
At least be a Lord worthy of some recognition.
Moreover, he circumvented part of the mission using task credentials and forcefully broke through to here, so it shouldn't have been like being crushed now.
But reality was harsh. Initially prompted on the panel that he encountered Fan Mao's troop attack, he still considered if he could counter-kill this seemingly not-so-large squad.
He was confident of resolving the battle in ten minutes.
But who would've thought that ten minutes later, he hadn't resolved the battle, and was instead about to be resolved himself...
"Damn it, is it that Fan Mao didn't use task credentials to break through to Tier Six?
Otherwise, how could they possess such powerful combat power! Or are these actually Fan Mao's main troops?"
The captain muttered, unwilling to admit his weakness.
He understood very well that his fleet couldn't last another ten minutes.
Even if he and his Hero units could hold on, their ships couldn't, unless...
An unexpected development...
"What is that!"
In the distance sky, a burst of white light suddenly appeared, quickly followed by a dense wave of Magic Power.
Even those sea monsters stopped fighting, turning their heads warily towards the sky where the Magic Power radiation had suddenly appeared, giving him a brief moment to catch his breath.
As the Magic Power fluctuation grew intense, it eventually peaked a few seconds later, resulting in a seemingly explosive Magic burst, and several figures unexpectedly appeared mid-air.
Before the captain could see who was falling, he first heard the sound of a quarrel.
"I told you the coordinate result should have been the first one! You almost blew it up!"
"Oh well, but in the end, nothing happened..."
"Enough said, if I hadn't taken over at the crucial moment, who knows where we would have teleported to!"
After blasting out from the Space Transmission mid-air and falling ten meters before steadying themselves with the Sky Control Technique hovering mid-air.
Despite the teleportation mishap, and being an accident with a cross-world teleportation, it took quite some doing for Bai Yi to stabilize his body through a strong physical constitution and fast Spell application.
But without learning a spell and having excessive weight, Xuanxing Bai Yi didn't manage to escape in time and plunged straight into the sea below.
Glancing around, he realized he was surrounded by ocean, unable to find a bearing, or even a reference point.
"Where have you sent me?
Ju! Look at what you've done!
Curiosity kills the cat, you know!"
"I am no longer a cat now! I am a Cat Witch! Plus, I have more than 9 lives!
Moreover, in the end, it was only 'a little' off, we still teleported back!
Look over there, isn't that Sea Son!"
"And you call that 'a little'!"
Hovering mid-air, Bai Yi easily gave Ju a "Immortal Blessed" admonishment.
With a crisp sound of a cracked skull, Bai Yi looked in the direction Ju pointed. Sure enough, they found the Sea Son in a standoff with the fleet.
"Forget it, at least the test was successful this time, make sure to fish out Xuanxing; at this rate, he might sink to the seabed."
