Chapter 408: Fierce Beasts in the Ocean

"Not good!"

"General, something is attacking the bottom of our warship."

"Not good! It's the savage fierce swordfish attacking us."

However, it was already too late. In just a few breaths, a huge warship, dozens of zhang long, began to sink.

The bottom of the warship was full of huge holes, and seawater was constantly pouring in.

"Everyone be careful, there are savage fierce swordfish. Notify other warships and tell them to be careful."

One warship sinking did not affect the entire fleet. The other warships also quickly made responses.

"Prepare the Yuan Gang Crossbows! Shoot them fiercely."

Li You's expression was solemn, and then he ordered the fleet behind him.

Suddenly, hundreds of warships, thousands of large crossbows, adjusted their positions and fired huge crossbow arrows into the ocean.

Yuan Gang Crossbows, Great Qin's unique large siege crossbow arrows, possessed armor-piercing attributes. Even a one-meter-thick city wall would be shattered under the impact of these armor-piercing crossbow arrows.

Back then, Great Qin relied on these Yuan Gang Crossbows to conquer cities and lands, which was very glorious. Although the materials for forging these crossbow arrows were extremely rare, Great Qin unified the world, and all kinds of materials were available.

And now Great Qin had no enemies on the mainland, so this time going out to sea, they brought eighty percent of the army's Yuan Gang Crossbows.

Previously, dealing with that terrifying nine-headed snake behemoth also made the other party bleed endlessly.

Chi chi!

The armor-piercing crossbow arrows were like an arrow rain. In an instant, this sea area turned from blue to red.

And the scarlet blood also stimulated these savage fierce beasts. Swordfish, several zhang large, rushed out of the sea surface with their incomparably sharp protrusions, flying toward the warships.

"Let's go!"

These savage fierce swordfish had huge bodies, plus that one-zhang-long sharp protrusion, which was sharper than human spears and was their most powerful weapon.

Once pierced, human iron armor could not stop their sharpness.

However, the Qin army saw these groups of savage fierce swordfish without any fear, and some low-level officers even rushed up, some even jumping into the ocean to kill these fierce swordfish.

Man and beast launched the most primitive attack on this ocean.

It was a quite tragic hand-to-hand battle.

These savage fierce swordfish had quite good individual strength, especially in the sea, moving extremely fast. High-speed galloping was even more terrifying, like Yuan Gang Crossbows.

"What's the situation in front?"

"Reporting to Marquis Su, the forward warships encountered savage fierce swordfish. Currently, General Li and the others are fighting these swordfish."

"Savage fierce swordfish group!"

Su Fan heard this, and his brows suddenly frowned. Encountering such fierce fish-type fierce beasts, this kind of swordfish, in terms of individual strength, couldn't even be ranked in the ocean. In any group, having one with Profound Mastery power was already very powerful.

A group with such power was at least a group of tens of thousands or more.

Although the top-tier power was not strong, they were numerous and fierce, especially that sharp protrusion, which made their lethality extremely terrifying.

It was just like the human world; a single individual was not strong, but once they formed a group and became an army, the power they erupted was quite terrifying.

A group of hundreds of thousands of savage fierce swordfish, in the ocean, even many Five Qi fierce beasts were unwilling to provoke them.

Because these savage fierce swordfish, like the bloodthirsty shark, were extremely bloodthirsty. Once there was blood, they would crazily attack everything around them.

Having stayed in Sanghai City for quite some time, Su Fan naturally understood many fierce beasts on the sea. These fierce beasts with almost no intelligence were even more dangerous than those fierce beasts on land.

You know, some fierce beasts, if they absorb the essence of the sun and moon and become stronger, often give birth to some intelligence. Even if the intelligence is not high, like a young child, they possess a sense of crisis.

And in the ocean, many fish, the reason they were not called fierce beasts, was because even if many became powerful, they still had no intelligence, acting on instinct, and often liked slaughter.

In the ocean, slaughter happened every moment.

The savage fierce swordfish was the leader among them.

Encountering this kind of fierce beast was considered bad luck.

The key was that this kind of fierce beast moved in groups, and the group was huge, which was quite dangerous, especially their sharp protrusions, which were also a great threat to warships.

Actually, only warships like the Mirage, which were specially built, could be unaffected by these swordfish.

As for ordinary warships, even with runes, they cannot withstand the head-on collisions of swarms of savage swordfish.

In fact, just while they were talking, in the forward fleet, several more warships were shattered by these swordfish.

But fortunately, the soldiers on the warships were trained for countless days, and one by one, they quickly swam to the surroundings of other warships and climbed up with the help of the warships' protrusions.

There were not many deaths.

"Why did this savage fierce swordfish suddenly appear in this area?"

Su Fan suddenly had a question in his heart. Before the battle, they had long scouted the surrounding sea area, and they had an understanding of the creatures in the surrounding sea area.

Generally, this savage fierce swordfish would not come to this generation at all.

Ocean creatures also had their own accustomed sea areas, just like fierce beasts on land; they also had their own independent territories. Other beast types would not invade these territories.

The ocean was also like this.

Unless it was a powerful individual, they often ignored all this because they were the overlords of the ocean. Even as individuals, they were still invincible fierce beasts standing at the top of the ocean food chain.

"Are you saying someone deliberately lured them?"

Wang Zhan stood behind Su Fan, heard Su Fan's words, thought for a while, and said uncertainly.

"Eight or nine out of ten! On the Fusang Continent side, there is not only Nine Infants, this one demon god, but also several other demon gods who have not appeared. Obviously, these demon gods are not fools."

"The great battle between the Lord of Wu'an and that Nine Infants demon god is not something a Three Flowers Realm can participate in. Those few demon gods' strength is at the Five Qi Realm, so they cannot participate in the war, so they can only take action from other places."

"Then the best way is to attack our fleet. As long as they take down our fleet, they can weaken the Lord of Wu'an's power, making him unable to display Military School divine abilities, so the Nine Infants demon god will have a chance of winning."

"Then what should we do?"

Wang Zhan heard this, and his face sank.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover! What else can we do? We can only look at them."

Su Fan heard this and shook his head. In the ocean, sea beasts were the most powerful. They were endless. Even if the Qin army exerted military aura and could suppress them, the effect was not great. After all, the ocean could block part of the power.

Plus these sea beasts, most of them relied on their physical bodies, so military aura actually had little effect on them. ===== CHAPTER 409 =====
