Following a loud explosion, the high explosive charge in the depth charge detonated!
The shockwave and debris ricocheted in all directions, forming multiple waves on the surface of the water!
It had to be known that these depth charges had been fortified by the Guardians and were specially used to deal with supernatural creatures. The half-man, half-fish frog monsters within the explosion range were all killed on the spot without exception. Soon, corpses floated on the surface of the sea.
However, before the people on the ship could rejoice, they saw a new batch of black shadows joining the group. The number of monsters did not decrease, but increased!
The man in the floral shirt's expression turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he ordered his men to drop down another two depth charges and a torpedo.
Unfortunately, other than the timed depth charges, the cumbersome torpedo was easily evaded by the monsters. Compared to the number of Deep Ones, the damage dealt by the depth charges was negligible.
The man in the floral shirt realized the severity of the problem. To conserve ammo, he did not even authorize the main and secondary cannons to fire. It was not until the monsters swam closer that he finally gave the order to attack.
The cannonballs and bullets rained down. The black shadows in the sea froze for a moment. However, they reacted quickly. After dropping another few dozen corpses, they disappeared from the surface of the sea.
Of course, the players were not naive enough to think that this round of attack would be enough to chase away all the monsters. In fact, when they saw the Deep Ones disappear, many of them paled.
They had already figured out where the monsters had gone!
The Deep Ones moved from the surface to the bottom of the water to avoid the intense gunfire. According to the sonar detector, the monsters were now about 20 metres underwater. They did not slow down and continued to approach the Deep Sea Hunters' ship.
On the other hand, the man in the flowery shirt had a very simple reaction to the menacing enemy. He only said faintly, "Get ready to fight!"
Then he took the submachine gun handed to him by the person next to him.
After hearing the alarm, the players on the ship quickly calmed down after a brief moment of chaos. They gathered into small groups according to their previous division and under the leadership of their leader, they came to the deck. Among them was the Arctic Wraith who froze the pool earlier.
He walked to the railing and pressed his hand on the railing. Soon, a thin layer of ice formed on the bottom of the ship.
The Deep Ones dived to a blind spot where the main and secondary cannons could not reach before they resurfaced. However, when they tried to climb onto the ship, they found it hard to find any point of support. The places where their limbs could be lifted were unusually slippery. Therefore, the first batch of Deep Ones who were the vanguard were the first to suffer.
Not long after they leaped into the air, they slipped and fell back into the water. Following them was a volley of bullets!
The first wave of attack from the Deep Ones had just begun but it was already over. They had to hand over another 10 corpses. However, the players on the ship were not overly excited. They understood that the battle had just begun.
As expected, the Deep Ones only stayed silent for a moment before they came up with a new plan.
The sea was stormy that night. There were giant waves that were tens of metres tall. The Deep Ones even knew how to calculate their trajectory and used the giant waves to toss themselves onto the ship.
Just one wave that was as tall as the ship's railing sent at least 40 Deep Ones onto the ship. However, a few of them were killed by the players who spotted them before they could land. Other unlucky ones knocked their heads against the cannons and fainted.
The remaining Deep Ones successfully boarded the ship. It was a good start for their companions. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and were swiftly dispatched by the nearby players.
However, their success also pointed out a direction for the Deep Ones. More and more half-man, half-frogfish monsters used the waves to toss themselves onto the ship. The battle became more intense.
Once the battle shifted from the sea to the ship, both cannons and torpedoes were rendered useless. The most reliable weapon the players had was the Godslayer bullets.
Especially now that the Godslayer bullets were upgraded to the 3rd generation, their damage was astounding. Even gods below Grade B would have a hard time surviving the bullets, let alone the Deep Ones. They would lose the ability to fight the moment they were hit by the bullets.
But the problem was, there were just too many of them. There seemed to be no end to them.
Initially, the players had the upper hand but it did not take long for casualties to appear. At the same time, the man in the floral shirt had to remind the Deep Sea Hunters to conserve their bullets.
Although the guardians had sacrificed a lot to provide a considerable number of Godslayer bullets, the number of bullets per ship was not as much as expected. Besides, the plan was to deal with the Lord of R'yleh. The bullets were only there to distract the Lord of R'yleh. Judging by the rate at which the Godslayer bullets were being used, they might not even last a quarter of an hour.
After hearing the man in the floral shirt's warning, some of the players decisively reduced their firing rate and began to pursue accuracy. At the same time, they used other weapons to assist in the battle. However, it was not that the majority of the players did not understand the consequences of running out of Godslayer bullets. It was just that they were surrounded by enemies. Even if they wanted to conserve their bullets, they would not be able to do so.
Shen Xixi caught the sword that the man in the floral shirt tossed to her. This time, the sword was different from the bamboo sword used for training. It was forged from high-carbon steel and had a sharpened edge. As Shen Xixi raised the sword, a Deep One was pierced through.
Shen Xixi's eyes quickly scanned the area and moved toward a team that was in a more urgent situation. Three members of the six-man team had died in battle, and two of the remaining three were injured. They were struggling to hold on, and their bullets were running out.
Thankfully, Shen Xixi arrived in time and cleanly cut down the 5 Deep Ones that surrounded them. She then tossed her magazine to them. Before the 3 of them could thank her, Shen Xixi was already swinging the high-carbon steel sword at the next Deep One.
On the other side, the man in the floral shirt had gone berserk. Wherever they went, no one could stop them! None of the Deep Ones managed to get close to them. Other than them, there were other players with special abilities who managed to turn the tide in the Deep Ones' favor back.
However, as time went by, the players' disadvantage in numbers was magnified. Faced with an endless horde of monsters, even the strongest player could not help but feel a sense of despair.
