Du Feng noticed that the martial artists on the eight boats in the fourth row were all resisting, including the elderly and women. About 80% of the martial artists on the four boats in the third row were helping, while the other 20% probably felt that it had nothing to do with them. Or perhaps because they wanted to preserve their physical strength, they had not made a move for the time being.
On the second row of boats where he was, only half of the martial artists were making a move, while the rest of the martial artists were watching. Among the people watching, there was the bearded male martial artist who had been thrown down from the Heavenly Palace. In his mind, he had always come up from the Heavenly Palace, and was not on the same level as these poor people.
Under everyone's efforts, a large number of bald turtles were killed. Without the protection of the bald turtles, the river demons and water monsters were exposed. Everyone did not wait for them to approach, and all took the initiative to attack. Spells of various attributes smashed over, and a large number of them were killed.
The martial artists gradually saw hope, especially the people on the eight boats in the fourth row, who felt that their little lives were finally saved.
It just so happened that at this time, the surface of the water surged again. The two gigantic tortoises that had disappeared earlier reappeared. Each of them was the size of a small island, with thick hard skin on their claws, head, and tail.
Their skin was thick to a certain extent, and there were even a lot of things that resembled calluses. When the flying swords cut on them, it was like cutting on a stone. Creaking sounds rang out incessantly, but the swords could not pierce through at all.
"Roar …"
The roar of the giant turtles was actually somewhat similar to the roar of a dragon. This huge roar set off waves, and the eight boats were thrown into the air.
It's over, almost everyone thought that they were finished. Judging from the height they were thrown, even if they were not eaten, the hull would be smashed to pieces. Afraid of falling to their death, the martial artists jumped out of the boats and flew in the air. Jumping out at least had a chance to fight, but staying inside was only a dead end.
The two giant turtles opened their mouths, and with two crunching sounds, they bit the two boats to pieces. Their bite force was not at all weaker than that giant hippopotamus. Their teeth were even harder and sharper, and they were chewing like crispy peanuts.
"Attack with all your might!"
No one knew who shouted, but the second and third rows of martial artists could no longer hold back, and all of them brought out their special skills. Everyone took out their strongest weapons and items and threw them at the two giant tortoises.
On the other hand, Du Feng was preparing a big move. He planned to freeze the surface of the river. If he wanted to freeze a portion of the Milky Way's surface, he would need a lot of Origin Energy. Thus, he did not rush to make his move. Instead, he gradually accumulated his strength and continuously channeled his cold elemental energy into the Riding Dragon Sword.
"Pitter patter …"
All kinds of attacks landed on the giant tortoise's body, but most of them were blocked by the tortoise shell. As for the remaining small portion, it didn't have much effect on his head. At most, it would only affect his vision. However, there was a captain at the Golden Celestial Stage who launched a more incisive lightning attack.
With a bang, one of the giant tortoise's eyes was blasted blind. This time, everyone came to a realization. After all, the giant tortoise's weakness was its eyes.
Well, everyone's attacks were concentrated on the eyes, which scared the giant tortoise so much that it hurriedly shrank its head back. As for the other giant tortoise, although it wasn't injured, it also locked its head. Then, relying on its four limbs, it quickly approached the ship.
What to do? Attacks on the eyes weren't working, and everyone didn't know what to do.
In that situation just now, almost all of the martial artists had helped. Only one person was still watching the scene without making a move. It was the bearded male martial artist. Not only did he not make a move, but he was also making sarcastic remarks.
"Don't bother, your attacks are useless. Just wait for the Heavenly Palace to open fire."
In fact, everyone knew very well that the giant tortoises were hard to kill, but at this point, they had no choice but to fight. Besides, the Heavenly Palace's Apocalyptic Cannon hadn't moved yet. Was it going to open or not?
"In your dreams. If you have the ability, let them open fire."
"That's right. Even you were chased down, so why are you making sarcastic remarks?"
"Get back to your Heavenly Palace. Don't stay on our ship."
Everyone on the Heavenly Crown was enraged, including the staff. The bearded male martial artist was so infuriated that he forgot how he crawled onto the Heavenly Crown like a drowned rat, begging for shelter.
"Everyone, don't misunderstand. From what I know of them, they'll open fire soon."
After all, the bearded male martial artist had stayed on the Heavenly Palace before. From what he knew of the guards on the Heavenly Palace, they would definitely open fire. But the prerequisite for that was that the eight ships on the fourth row were mostly destroyed, and the people on them were mostly dead.
In other words, the guards on the Heavenly Palace clearly had a way to save their lives, but they chose not to. They purposely used the lives of the poor people behind them as food for the river demons and water monsters. Once they were fed enough, if they still pursued, they would open fire. If they could live in peace, that would be even better.
This … how could they do this!
Hearing the bearded male martial artist's description, everyone on the Heavenly Crown fell silent. Only their captain nodded slightly. That's right, as the captain of the Heavenly Crown, he understood this situation. Because in order to follow behind the Heavenly Palace, he gave them quite a bit of money.
Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Palace would only protect the two ships that followed behind it. As for the other private ships, they were just following to bask in their glory. If they sank, so be it. If they died, so be it. It had nothing to do with them.
Of the four ships on the third row, two of them were allowed to follow behind the Heavenly Crown's captain because they gave him money. The same went for the fourth row. It was only because they gave the captain of the third row some benefits that they were allowed to follow behind the Heavenly Crown.
That's why when the fourth row was attacked, the captain of the third row would come out to help, but the captain of the second row wasn't as proactive.
The Heavenly Palace's captain naturally knew about these private transactions, so he didn't refuse the small private ships following behind them, but he also wouldn't specifically protect them. Now that the two giant sea turtles were wreaking havoc, the Heavenly Palace wouldn't open fire unless you gave them money right away.
