Boom, boom, boom …
The sun had just risen, but at the bottom of the cliff, because the tide had risen to a certain level, a life-and-death battle between the two species had already begun.
Compared to yesterday, the number of Sludge Monsters had increased to about forty. They must've summoned some of their clansmen with the Souls of Civilization that they obtained from the battle at the cost of their power of providence.
However, this was obviously not very meaningful, because the intensity of their attacks had actually decreased compared to the day before.
It was mainly because a lot of their ammunition, especially the red, black, and yellow special ammunition, had been consumed in the defense yesterday. They could only use regular stones as cannonballs in today's battle.
The suppression caused by that was obviously not enough. After all, when regular stones and heavy objects fell into the water, their momentum would be quickly absorbed by the water no matter how fast they were, and their damage would be significantly reduced!
On the other hand, while the Mirage Monsters didn't have any super remote attack methods, they had cleverly adapted some defensive items.
For example, they had giant bubbles that were so tenacious that even the stones would be blown away and could block fire.
Some of the Mirage Monsters even carried the bodies of their fallen companions on their heads and pressed forward against the crazy cannonballs of the Sludge Monsters.
Obviously, the Mirage Monsters were determined to take down the Sludge Monsters' settlement. After all, they were a special species, and it would be difficult for them to defeat other alien species on the continent.
The Sludge Monsters might be their only choice to advance their settlement!
Boom, boom, boom …
Under such fierce attacks, the Sludge Monsters finally ran out of ammunition. In the end, except for a few Sludge Monsters who were left behind to continue the remote bombardment, all the others charged at the surface of the sea and engaged in the final melee battle.
The Mirage Monsters were no longer passive in the melee battle!
Puchi!
Below the water, when the Sludge Monster was about five meters away from it, one of the Mirage Monsters abruptly flew away from its oyster-like shell that was as smooth as a round plate. Its edge was as sharp as a blade, and it cut the Sludge Monster that was charging at it into halves from the middle.
Hum!
Not just that, after the Sludge Monster was cut, the round plate whose edge was as sharp as a blade flew in the water for a while before it spun and flew back at a high speed, cutting the Sludge Monster in half for the second time. It almost felt like the legendary flying guillotine!
"Dong, dong, dong!"
However, the Sludge Monster's body structure was very special, after all. As long as its heart wasn't injured, it didn't die right away.
It seemed that because they were underwater, the body that was cut open healed again when it came into contact.
Then, it lunged forward and enshrouded the Mirage Monster with its enormous body, entangling them like oysters wrapped in dough.
"It's about time. Let's go!"
The two of them began to engage in close combat with each other.
Twenty fully-armed soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount fort with Sludge Monster skins on their heads and sabers and forks in their hands charged out of the misty area of the canyon!
…
A Sludge Monster that was picking up the few cannonballs from the water seemed to have sensed something and was about to turn around and look at the rear of the battlefield.
"Pu!"
A white bone sword pierced through its heart that was beating like a drum.
Then, Ji Ye drew out the Black Serpent Sword and lunged at the next Sludge Monster in the water.
Perhaps it was because he had fused with the flood dragon bloodline, but the Black Serpent Sword in his hand gave him a better feeling than before. Most importantly, because the sword had the characteristic of controlling water, he did not feel the slightest resistance when he swung it underwater.
Moreover, he could also control water currents by consuming the Flood Dragon Blood in his body. He could even breathe freely in the water as if he were walking on land.
It was safe to say that his combat ability wasn't weakened at all in the water. It was even stronger than on land.
"Pew …"
Noticing Ji Ye, one of the Sludge Monsters simply launched the stone cannonball in its arms at him.
Unfortunately, after spending his EXP and practicing, Ji Ye was already adept at controlling water currents. He didn't even bother to dodge. With a telepathic thought, he simply diverted the stone with seawater.
Then, he easily pierced through the heart of the second Sludge Monster!
"Pew! Pew! Pew …"
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount fort were also successful in the battle against the Sludge Monsters. In the blink of an eye, they killed all the Sludge Monsters that stayed behind.
"A settlement!"
Needless to say, everybody waved their weapons and attacked the Sludge Monsters' settlement that looked like a cave under the surface of the water!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
However, the twenty or so weapons were all bounced off the moment they slashed down.
It was because a layer of brown power of providence had appeared on the surface of the cave. Inside it, the shadows of Sludge Monsters that looked like miniature versions were roaring at the people of the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Obviously, it was the power of providence of the Sludge Monsters' settlement!
Just like the Twin Dragon Mount fort was protected by the power of providence, the Sludge Monsters' settlement was protected by the power of providence too.
Theoretically speaking, if there was enough power of providence, even the most powerful attack wouldn't be able to break the settlement.
However, the Sludge Monsters' settlement was only Rank-1, and it had consumed a lot of power of providence to summon a lot of people the previous night. Under the continuous attacks of Ji Ye's Black Serpent Sword, it quickly dimmed!
Thud, thud, thud!
Within a certain range, all the members of the Sludge Monsters would sense it when the settlement was attacked.
Obviously, the Sludge Monsters that were fighting the Mirage Monsters had sensed it. Their hearts were beating like drums, and they sounded very anxious!
Then, they all fell into a riot, trying to get rid of the Mirage Monsters and reinforce the settlement!
However, the Mirage Monsters, who had finally approached the settlement, certainly wouldn't let them leave just like that.
In particular, the Mirage Monsters were obviously smarter than the Sludge Monsters. They were certain that they would be at a disadvantage when the Sludge Monsters attacked them with cannonballs earlier if they were let go!
Therefore, they simply stalled the Sludge Monsters and prevented them from reinforcing the settlement.
For the human beings, the help that the Sludge Monsters had given them was too much to be appreciated. They seized the opportunity and attacked even harder.
Pew!
In the end, Ji Ye stabbed the Black Serpent Sword dozens of times in a row without any hindrance, completely wearing down the power of providence of the Sludge Monsters' settlement core.
After another attack, he broke the last defense of the Sludge Monsters.
Hum!
Immediately, a tremendous amount of brown power of providence gathered at the center and formed a core of providence the size of a fist that looked like the heart of the Sludge Monsters. Ji Ye grabbed it in his hand.
Thud, thud, thud!
Even though it was held in his hand, the core of providence that looked like the heart of the Sludge Monsters still beat heavily, emitting the resentment of a species.
["You have destroyed the Sludge Monsters' settlement. Honor gained: 100. Rare Honor: 10!"]
However, sensing the information that popped up in his head, Ji Ye knew that the most important achievement had been secured.
"Go ashore … Huh?"
Then, Ji Ye gestured for the other soldiers to go back with him.
However, he suddenly became wary when he raised his hand.
It was because all the soldiers around him suddenly paused, and the soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount suddenly lunged at him with their sabers!
Faced with such a situation, any normal person would've been stunned and caught in a dilemma.
It was obvious that the soldiers of the fort had been manipulated by a certain power.
Should he kill them or not?
Ji Ye's choice was … kill them!
The Black Serpent Sword in his hand cut through the water and slashed at a soldier who was slashing at him!
Pew!
The white Black Serpent Sword slashed the soldier's neck, but it simply passed through his body as if it were an illusion.
However, the sound of the Black Serpent Sword hitting something else came from it.
Hum!
A large sharp-edged disc that was about two meters in diameter was knocked away by the powerful force of the Black Serpent Sword and stabbed into the mud nearby.
"A mental attack?"
Ji Ye raised his eyebrows.
It was because the scene just now was exactly an illusion caused by a mental attack.
However, it was exactly because it was a mental attack that the effect was greatly reduced on him. It was because Ji Ye had listened to Nie Xiaoqian play the guqin for several days in the Battlefield of Providence, and his divine sense had broken through to Extraordinary Rank-4 through it.
It was safe to say that he was much more resistant to such an attack than regular people, and he got rid of it the moment he was hit.
With the abilities granted by the Flood Dragon Bloodline, he could clearly sense the tiny movements of the water around him and resist the physical attack that was hidden in the water.
It was obvious that the Sludge Monsters with low intelligence could not have performed such a mental attack. Such a huge sharp-edged round plate suggested the opponent's identity even more.
He was a Commander-level hero from the Mirage Monsters!
