Volume 6 Chapter 7: Water Palace Exploration (4)
Although I still don't know exactly what happened, I know the problem is definitely not simple.
The sea is not as vast as the inland, and it is not easy to have PK incidents of snatching monsters. Moreover, we have penetrated 500 kilometers offshore. Except for Tianshui Pavilion, no other gangs in Cangzhi Continent seem to have developed ships that can sail here. Even if someone buys one or two five-sail Qingfang ships sold by Tianshui Pavilion, the number of people that can be carried is limited. Seeing that tens of thousands of people have reserved the place to level up, who would dare to touch the tiger's beard?
Of course, since all the elites of Tianshui Pavilion have come out for the ruins exploration mission this time, it is not uncommon for the news to leak out. But at most, a few people will sneak up and try to take advantage of the situation. After all, other gangs do not have the ability to transport a large number of people to compete with us. But if we do this, the other party will be so afraid that they will not be able to find us in time, let alone have a conflict with us before entering the Water Palace.
I thought about it for a moment but couldn't figure out anything. Xiao Yi's body suddenly paused, obviously he had received another call.
"Haha..." Xiao Yi sneered: "It's really interesting. The person who came is a Japanese."
Although the tone was light, it clearly revealed a sense of disgust. If I said that I hated the Japanese just because I was a simple angry young man, Xiao Yi had more sufficient reasons.
With its new type of battery, the Jinlong Group has monopolized the world's energy market and become one of the world's largest groups, earning astronomical wealth. It would be a lie to say that no one is jealous of such advanced technology. Naturally, there are also commercial spies who come to steal the technology. Although it has not been announced to the outside world, on average a dozen people "disappear" from the Jinlong Group every month. The bosses behind them are also varied, including major multinational companies and agents directly sent by various governments.
This kind of thing is understandable, after all, anyone would be tempted by the huge benefits involved, but it is inhumane to directly harm the top executives of the Golden Dragon Group. Since the emergence of the Golden Dragon Group, Xiao Yi, his parents and their immediate family members have been kidnapped, assassinated, threatened and other incidents countless times. Fortunately, not only are they equipped with bodyguards, but the government cannot tolerate the leakage of such technology, and even mobilized the power of the National Security Bureau to ensure their safety. Finally, they have no danger and have never been successful.
However, no matter how strong the defense force is, it is impossible to protect all Chinese people. Other countries always have a sense of propriety when doing such things. They will only find the real culprit and will not involve innocent people. However, a certain country has made people realize what it means to be shameless without limit.
Seeing that Xiao Yi's family was well prepared, the agents sent by this country turned their attention to Xiao Yi's relatives and friends, kidnapping two of Xiao Yi's classmates, who were also her best friends! In order to threaten Xiao Yi and demand that she hand over the battery technology.
Although the other party did not achieve its goal in the end, and due to the involvement of state forces, Xiao Yi's two classmates were rescued, they had already suffered heinous violations.
They were just girls under the age of eighteen at the time!
This incident caused great harm to Xiao Yi. She believed that what happened to her two friends was because of her. This even caused her to suffer from autism for a period of time, and she recovered only after psychological therapy.
That’s not all. What’s even more outrageous is that after that country tried every means to obtain the technology but failed, it actually republished some peripheral technologies stolen from the Jinlong Group, claiming that they were their inventions, applied for patents, and even filed an international lawsuit against the Jinlong Group, demanding that the Jinlong Group pay them patent fees!
Therefore, even if we put aside factors such as national and ethnic sentiments, Xiao Yi still holds an attitude of hatred and contempt towards that country. We were having a great time in the game, but they came to cause trouble. How could Xiao Yi have a good face?
But I smiled. Very good. Hupo hasn't drunk human blood for some time. Now that someone has come to report on his own initiative, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!
Soon we arrived at the "scene of the incident", where we saw a group of more than 20 Tianshui Pavilion members fighting with a group of 30 or 40 people wearing black armor. In addition, there were dozens of monsters such as blue carp and cuttlefish in the battle group, launching crazy attacks on both sides. The blue carp was okay, but the cuttlefish would spray ink from time to time, dyeing the clear blue sea water into a mass of dirty black water. The scene was extremely chaotic.
At this time, Xiao Yi has basically understood the situation. This time, the Japanese are attacking in a large-scale manner. According to the information from the gang communication alone, there are thousands of enemies that have been discovered. And because there is a time limit for entering the Water Palace, everyone is now scattered in various places in the vast sea to level up, and will gather at the entrance of the Water Palace when the time comes. This shows that the enemy is not small in number, otherwise it would be impossible for so many brothers to be attacked in such a large area in a short period of time.
With so many Japanese, we must mobilize a large number of transport ships. When we thought of this, Xiao Yi and I both changed our faces: they will definitely discover our fleet staying on the sea!
At present, all personnel have gone to sea, and only the basic crew members are left on the ship. The five-sail Qingya ship has no long-range attack capability. Once a naval battle occurs, it can only be fought in a boarding battle. However, there are no soldiers on the ship, so how can it fight? If the fleet is attacked by the Japanese at this time, we will suffer heavy losses!
Fortunately, Xiao Yi urgently contacted the fleet commander "Yigen Xiaocao", and the other party sent back a message that no ships were found nearby!
Although it was a little strange, we finally felt relieved. Following my instructions, Xiao Yi ordered a blade of grass: closely monitor the surrounding waters, and run away immediately if any enemy fleet appears!
Now is not the time to be a hero. The entire foundation of the Tianshui Pavilion's naval forces lies in this fleet. The dead crew can be resurrected, but once the fleet is destroyed, it can only be rebuilt. The financial loss is secondary. Time cannot be wasted!
However, since the enemy fleet had not appeared yet, Xiao Yi issued an order using the gang communication, requiring all personnel to return to the ship immediately. If we could get all the people back on board before the Japanese fleet discovered us, we would have the capital to fight.
Therefore, Xiao Yi and I hurried towards the fleet. Since we dived the deepest, we fell behind most people. The Tianshui Pavilion members in front of us were obviously entangled by the enemy and could not escape.
I only took a glance at the battlefield and I could tell that although the Tianshui Pavilion's side was outnumbered, they were all elite members of the gang, with higher levels and equipment than their opponents. If they fought fairly, they would win sooner or later. But probably because Xiao Yi issued an order to return to the ship, they had no intention of fighting and just wanted to get away. However, they were entangled by their opponents desperately, and the nearby monsters attracted during the fight made them miserable.
Although Xiao Yi and I were in a hurry to get back to the boat, since we met them passing by, we naturally had to help. I changed the direction of our advance and went straight to the center of the battlefield.
The Japanese also noticed my presence and immediately sent four people to intercept me. It was obvious that they wanted to rely on their numbers to get rid of me, a lone person.
A ball of golden light burst out from my hand. With my body as the center, countless golden sword beams shot out in all directions, causing ripples in the sea water.
The four people who came forward felt that the opponent had turned into a hedgehog in an instant. The sharp blade light was like a spike, which made countless holes in their bodies!
Four white lights flashed and then disappeared. The remaining Japanese were suddenly shocked. Although they were not outstanding masters, they were also high-level players. Yet, four of them were killed in a single move!
In fact, I didn't need to use such fancy moves to kill these four people. I just deliberately made some noise to establish my authority.
As a result, not only the little Japanese, but even the people of Tianshui Pavilion were a little dazed. At this moment, a faint blue electric light flashed. Both sides were distracted, and the electric magic was close to the color of sea water. No one noticed it. A little Japanese was hit by the electric light without any preparation, and suddenly his whole body was covered with shining arcs of electricity, and there was a "hissing" sound of electric current. The electric light had not yet ended. After passing through this person's body, it refracted like a spirit snake and pierced into the body of another little Japanese next to it!
Two, three... nine! A flash of lightning pierced through the bodies of nine little Japanese!
This is the advanced magic of "Chain Lightning" "Nine-Bend Chain", which can attack up to nine targets at a time, but the power decreases as time goes by. However, Xiao Yi is at a high level and has extraordinary equipment, which greatly increases the power of magic. In the underwater environment, the attack range of electric magic is doubled, so this Nine-Bend Chain is fully utilized. If it is on the ground, unless the opponent's position is too dense, it can only attack five or six targets at most.
Of the nine Japanese, two died and seven were injured, three of them were paralyzed. Xiao Yi's power brought him a greater shock than mine.
"Kill all these rubbish, and then you can go back to the ship!" I said, but my hands were not slow, and I went through the entire battle group from bottom to top, and I cut anyone within three meters of me, whether it was a Japanese or a monster. Without extraordinary skills, it would be difficult to avoid my "casual" cut, and under the Tiger Soul, it was rare to be able to survive a cut.
Therefore, when Xiao Yi and I continued to swim upstream in a hurry, the ratio of the number of people on both sides was already 1:1, and the morale was incomparable. The members of Tianshui Pavilion showed cruel smiles on their faces and pounced on the frightened Japanese.
