Whoosh! A gleam from his sword slashed across the surface of the sea and landed on a Level 4 vicious beast less than 50 meters away.
It was a Ulite Steel-skinned Electric Eel, one of the most troublesome Level 4 vicious beasts.
Based on its name alone, it had steel-like scales and its talent attribute was' electricity '. It was definitely a sharp talent attribute and its power in the water was unimaginable.
"If this fella's electric discharge power is similar to the electric eels of the old civilization …" Han Xing clenched his teeth and seized the moment when his sword flare landed on the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's body, causing the eel's attack to pause for a moment. He stepped on a piece of rubber floating on the surface of the water and dashed towards the Steel-skinned Electric Eel.
"Roar!" The Steel-skinned Electric Eel let out a roar and charged towards Han Xing with incomparable rage.
There was a vertical hard scale on its head. The scale was like an odd-shaped steel blade, and its hardness was even stronger than the S-grade alloy weapons used by most of the teenagers …
If he was hit by the eel …
Han Xing couldn't care less. It was at that moment that he picked up a young man who was floating in the water. The young man was obviously badly injured and could no longer move. Then, he quickly bounced back.
Would he make it in time? Competing with a Level 4 vicious beast in terms of speed? Would he not be courting death?
Right at that moment, an iron chain wrapped around Han Xing's waist and pulled him backwards.
At the same time, Dong Yang had finished charging up. The spear in his hand formed a giant spear shadow and struck the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's chin as it rammed towards Han Xing.
It was the strongest attack that Dong Yang could unleash. One thing worth noting was that Dong Yang would not have been able to perfectly charge up the spear before they set sail.
However, even the best spear attack from a top genius like Dong Yang only managed to slightly stop the Steel-skinned Electric Eel, causing it to tilt its head back a little.
However, it couldn't even make it retreat by a meter or break its skin …
Dong Yang's heart was filled with despair. Fortunately, the spear attack was not completely useless. At least, it bought Han Xing some precious time to escape.
With a whoosh, Xi Feng pulled Han Xing and landed on the deck of the Harvest.
After placing the heavily injured teenager on the deck, Han Xing thanked Xi Feng.
"Someone, send him to the rescue ship." Xi Feng nodded at Han Xing and shouted.
However, no one responded to Xi Feng. Xi Feng's face was filled with anger. She was so hot-tempered that she couldn't help but explode.
However, she was stopped by Han Xing. Compared to Xi Feng, Han Xing's expression was relatively calm. "Let's leave it at that. Let him stay on the deck for now. He won't die for a while. "
Xi Feng's breathing quickened, and her chest heaved up and down. But when she saw Han Xing's tattered clothes and body covered in dozens of wounds, she suppressed the anger that had been building up in her heart for a long time and resisted the urge to explode.
It's just … It's just that!
Xi Feng's eyes were slightly red as she looked at the battlefield in front of her! Was it already a dead end?
He was surrounded by seven Direbeasts, and three of them were Level 4 Direbeasts.
The leader was undoubtedly the Steel-skinned Electric Eel, known as the toughest Level 4 Direbeast.
Was there no hope of escaping from this encirclement? In fact, there was still a glimmer of hope, and that was that the southwest was not completely sealed off!
However, less than ten nautical miles away from the southwest, there was a Level 5 Direbeast swimming around, and it didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Was it this encirclement that was scary? Or was it a Level 5 Direbeast that was scary? The teenagers who had experienced seven high-intensity battles in the past two days could no longer measure it.
They only knew that even under Liszt's command, death was inevitable.
Seventeen people, seventeen talented teenagers had died. If they could all grow up smoothly, they would have the hope of becoming top figures, and even the mainstay of humanity in the face of disaster.
However, after continuous battles, the people's hearts had become numb, and they were no longer moved by casualties.
And it was precisely because of this that Liszt, who had gradually become the leader of the youths after a series of commanding battles, began to command in another way.
A war strategy of sacrifice!
"This can't be helped. When it's necessary! I hope that everyone is prepared for the possibility of sacrifice. "
"I'm standing in the position of command, and I can't be merciful and harm everyone. If one is sacrificed, ten can be saved. Then I will choose to sacrifice that one without hesitation. "
"But the chosen one, you don't have to despair. If you can survive, you can become a real hero! If not, your name will be engraved in the hearts of those who survive. You must believe that those you save, whether they are your companions or not, they will all become big figures. "
"What does this mean? It means that your family and clan will be grateful. You've brought connections to your loved ones and opportunities to rise up. This kind of sacrifice is full of meaning. "
It had to be said that Liszt was very provocative. Coupled with his special aura, people would unconsciously believe in his words.
Did his words make sense? Very much so.
However, on the surface, his words were not so convincing when it came to the level of reality. It was also full of naked personal ambition and bigotry.
Out of the 17 that died, 12 of them were from the grassroots fleet.
It was common knowledge that the grassroots fleet followed the Harvest. Due to their birth, the sailors were relatively simple and clumsy.
More importantly, compared to the unwillingness of the others to sacrifice themselves, the sailors were willing to sacrifice themselves.
What was even more unbearable was that their eyes were filled with trust for everyone on the Harvest.
Whenever Xi Feng thought about the gazes, she felt terrible. She felt like she had let down the teenagers who were born at the bottom of society.
However, it could not be helped. Liszt had gained everyone's trust, and if they disagreed with his strategy, everyone would disregard everything and oppose it.
Or they would ask the Harvest to lead the fleet to fight on their own.
Higan was supposed to be there to suppress the situation, but Xi Feng's eyes were filled with fear.
However, Xi Feng could not help but show fear in her eyes. She could not forget something that happened last night.
During the encounter last night, Liszt was obviously biased. He had chosen eight grassroots sailors from the Harvest as the members of the Freedom Vanguard.
There was no doubt that the so-called 'Vanguard Freedom Squad' was a 'Suicide Squad'.
Facing such a situation, Higan, who had been controlling the situation after Tang Ling's disappearance, had to step up.
Liszt expressed that he was doing everything for Higan, and if she disagreed with his decision, he could choose not to do so. He would give up his command.
If he wanted to command the fleet, he would need the eight sailors from the Harvest. There were many reasons, such as the talent of one sailor or the talent of another.
Higan did not argue further at that moment.
She chose to face three vicious sea beasts alone, one Level 4 and one Level 3!
In the end? The result shocked everyone.
In less than half a minute, no one knew what Higan had done, but the three vicious sea beasts could not even attack her. The moment they came into contact with her, it was as if they were suffering from some kind of disease. Half a minute later, all of them died.
If that was the only result, Xi Feng would be happy, excited, and … She would never feel fear.
Even after the battle, Higan's face was pale and she felt weak. She was so weak that people thought her life was slipping away.
However, those with battle experience knew it was just the exhaustion after the battle.
However, the most terrifying thing happened when everyone was shocked by the Otherworld Heavenly King's combat power!
A tremendous pressure enveloped the fleet of the young geniuses.
Higan was standing on the deck, but as if she was grabbed by an invisible hand, she was dragged into the sky.
No one knew what happened. In the sky, Higan seemed to be talking to someone.
In the end, all the young geniuses heard a single sentence.
"You can't do anything! Everyone here, if Higan strikes again, all of you will be buried with her. Remember what I said. "
The sentence was deafening and shocked all the young geniuses on the ship.
Then, they watched helplessly as Higan spat out a mouthful of blood in the sky and fainted. The invisible force then dragged her back to the deck of the Harvest.
"Just a little punishment."
The mysterious man who had not shown up since the beginning only said that before he vanished.
However, this incident …
Higan was fine. At least on the surface, she only spat out a mouthful of blood and woke up less than an hour later.
Her face was still pale, and she only told the crew of the Harvest one thing.
"I'm counting on you guys to hold on for Tang Ling! And for the sake of all who follow us, endure. Liszt can't be trusted. If it isn't for Shinobu, the lives of all the crew members of the Harvest fleet might have been lost. "
"Bear with it, remember to bear with it."
To everyone's surprise, after Higan uttered those words, she fell into a coma again. Maybe she used all her willpower to wake up just to tell everyone that.
"But, how long do we have to endure?!" Xi Feng's eyes turned red. Everything came back to her in an instant. She felt wronged and uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
It was at that moment that a loud explosion sounded. One of the ships beside the Harvest fired its ultimate weapon, a cannonball modified from the old civilization.
The cannonball whizzed toward the Steel-skinned Electric Eel that was attacking Dong Yang. At that moment, the Steel-skinned Electric Eel finally let out a wail. Then, its entire body was lifted into the air and slammed into the ground more than 100 meters away.
The shipborne cannons were the limit of firearms in this era. Just like how the most powerful firearms in Safety Sector No. 17 were cannons, the cannons were the best.
Of course, the power of the cannons was limited. Not all cannons could be used in the Purple Moon era, and there was a strict limit to the types of cannons that could be used.
Even if that strange restriction had reached such an extent, it was still not the 'end'. What was the end? There was a limit to the number of shots.
For example, a common cannon could only be fired 10 times in a certain period of time. The more powerful the cannon, the higher the limit.
The cannonball that was launched earlier could only be fired three times in an hour.
"The combat squad of the Harvest. Your actions have disobeyed our orders. On top of that, we've wasted a precious cannonball for you. Now, I'll give you a warning. After the battle is over, you will be punished according to the rules. "After the Steel-skinned Electric Eels were repelled,
Liszt's cold voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
At the same time, Dong Yang had just returned to the deck of the Harvest.
One had to admit that if the cannonball had not been fired in time, Dong Yang would have been in trouble. However, Liszt's arrogant words cast a shadow over everyone on the Harvest.
Things like this could have been dealt with after the battle. There was no need for him to announce his name to everyone on the Harvest.
Liszt was not on the battlefield at the moment. Instead, he was commanding the battle from his Hero Dynasty.
According to him, in order to avoid more sacrifices and to gain a better understanding of the battlefield, he could not join the battle right away.
Of course, he would join the battle as well! It was something that could only be done at the most appropriate and crucial moment.
Regarding this, even the people on the Harvest didn't have anything to complain about. After all, it was reasonable.
More importantly, Higan's incident seemed to have caught Liszt's attention. Liszt's suppression and targeting of Higan was getting more and more obvious.
He no longer concealed his desire to become the captain of the fleet.
Tang Ling might be his only obstacle, so before Tang Ling returned, he had to destroy Tang Ling's reputation, his comrades, and even his fleet. He had to use the battle as a means to achieve his goals.
However, what else could he do? He had to endure it and he did not want to sacrifice too many of the Harvest's crew, so he had no choice but to do so!
Liszt had sent out the so-called Freedom Vanguard for the battle today, and all 30 of them were from the Harvest!
If they had not fought with their lives on the line, they would have died a lot earlier!
Bei Qi almost crushed his knuckles when he heard the so-called warning. He spat coldly and his eyes shone with anger.
It was then that Nan Yu coughed weakly. He grabbed Bei Qi's arm and Xi Feng's, whose eyes were red.
"We can't go on like this. I … Cough … Release the war seed. "
"Nan Yu!" Bei Qi and Xi Feng shouted at the same time.
According to their master's wish, the North, South, East, West, and West Sons existed for Tang Ling and were trained for him.
Regardless of whether they accepted their fate or not, fate had miraculously pushed them to Tang Ling's side.
They had a secret, and it was the secret of their war seed! The secret was supposed to be kept until they truly acknowledged Tang Ling! Only then would they reveal the secret to Tang Ling.
As a matter of fact, the secret was simple.
There were two ways to activate their war seed. The first way was to release the war seed and it would be activated the first time it was released.
The second way was to extract the bone marrow from Tang Ling's spine.
The Four Saints did not know the secret because Ro Li had to overcome his natural disease and he also needed Tang Ling's bone marrow.
However, they knew that if the first way was used to activate the war seed, it would be reduced to a common high rank war seed and would not be able to unleash the true power of the war seed.
However, if Tang Ling's bone marrow was used to activate the war seed, their war seed would become a top-tier war seed and it would be rare among the top-tier war seeds because it contained a mysterious power.
As a matter of fact, they had already acknowledged Tang Ling. They even wanted to wait until the voyage was over. Extracting the bone marrow would weaken the powerhouses, so it would be the best time for them to become Purple Moon Warriors after the voyage.
Now that Nan Yu had activated the war seed, how could Bei Qi and Xi Feng not be anxious?
"I've made up my mind. I might look sick, but I'm a hot-blooded man on the inside." Nan Yu pretended to be relaxed and said in a humorous manner.
"It's not funny at all." Xi Feng pouted and her eyes turned redder.
"If you really want to release the war seed, I'll be there with you. I can't let you be alone, "Bei Qi said straightforwardly.
"The Four Saints of North, South, East, and West are one. At least, that's what the outsiders thought. Dong Yang took a deep breath and said, "I'll release it as well."
"I'll also …" Xi Feng said loudly.
It was then that the Steel-skinned Electric Eel that was hit by the cannonball floated up to the surface again. It was obvious that a single cannonball was not enough to kill it, nor could it inflict heavy damage on it. It could not even restrict its movement.
The firepower of firearms would always be limited. If Level 4 vicious beasts were that easy to kill, humans would not have been living in the cracks of the Purple Moon era.
It was a fact that humans had lost their position as the planet's ruler, but humans could not accept it and were unwilling to face it.
A vicious beast, a Level 4 vicious beast! It was the most troublesome vicious beast among the Level 4 vicious beasts, so it was not that easy to deal with.
However, Liszt had assigned the Harvest's fleet to hold it back and inflict a certain amount of damage on it.
Because of the suppression, Liszt did not pay much attention to the fleet.
According to him, they had to focus on killing the weaker ones first.
Now that the Steel-skinned Electric Eel had recovered and the cannonball had made it even more violent, it meant that the crew of the Harvest would have to join the battle again.
"I don't have a war seed. But this time, I'll make the first move! We can only prepare for the worst at the very last moment! That's what my sister said, "Ro Li interrupted Xi Feng.
Because he was weaker than the others, he had never had a sense of presence on the Harvest. Maybe it was because of his desire to grow stronger and to be on the same level as the others.
Ro Li, who was lively and a little funny, became quiet.
He became the second most hardworking person on the Harvest after Tang Ling. He spent most of his time every day practicing how to control his puppets.
Everyone understood Ro Li very well. They wanted to give Ro Li enough time to improve himself, so they protected him during the intense battle.
"Hmm, I've mastered a new skill before this. Now, I want to … "Ro Li said to everyone with a smile.
"Ro Li, you …" Dong Yang gulped nervously. He instinctively wanted to persuade Ro Li.
"Don't you trust me?" Ro Li took a few steps forward before he turned around and looked at everyone on the deck.
Han Xing quietly tied his sword to his hand with a bandage. He then took out half a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He said softly, "Let him go."
I'll let him go. If it doesn't work, I'll release my war seed! Tang Ling is coming back soon, isn't he? Doesn't he always appear at the most crucial moment? I wonder if this is the most crucial moment.
Amidst the smoke, Han Xing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the sea level behind the fleet. The Devil's Mist there was very thick, thicker than any time he had seen it before.
Assuming this is the most crucial moment, it should be fine for me to release my war seed and hold on for a while, right?
Do these idiots think I don't have a war seed? Of course, he did not purposely mention it to them.
His war seed was special after all, and the sword in his hand was not the best match for it.
Initially, he thought that he would not release the War Seed until he obtained the sword from the old man.
Han Xing chuckled.
"Hmm, I'll go then." Ro Li looked at Han Xing with a tinge of gratitude. As expected of the guy who had been hanging out with him since he first arrived in Darkness Port, even though he always treated his sister badly.
Ro Li strode to the front of the deck and was about to jump onto the rubber floats to be the first to fight.
It was at that moment that Liszt's voice echoed on the surface of the sea. He was giving out a series of orders.
The situation had changed and the Harvest had made a mistake again.
Therefore, the reserve team had to send out 50 men to stall the Steel-skinned Electric Eels. The rest of the reserve team would go to support the 1st battle zone, and the main battle team of the Harvest had to ensure that the Steel-skinned Electric Eels would not affect the other battle teams within the next five minutes.
Ro Li stopped abruptly when he heard the order. His eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
The others on the Harvest also turned around and looked at the Hero Dynasty, which was still in the middle of the fleet. Their angry aura burst into the sky as if it was about to turn into a real flame.
"Go. Me too." At this time, a figure walked out from the cabin. She was wearing a white cloak, and it was clear that the weather was very hot. Her weak appearance made her seem very cold.
It was Higan.
"Sister Higan …" Xi Feng called out anxiously.
Liszt's reputation had reached its peak, so as soon as his order was given, it would be carried out immediately.
Silently, the 50 reserve team members boarded the emergency battleships and dashed towards the front of the battlefield.
"Go. Me too." Higan's voice sounded weak, but a smile bloomed on her pale face. "He will be back soon."
