Chapter 176 An Evenly Matched Battle! Lu Jin's Secret Plan!
"We'll win!"
All members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group present were brimming with confidence.
Others might not know, but they knew it all too well.
The Fangs Hunting Group was their Howling Shark Pirate Group's elite legion!
Every single Howling Shark Hunter within it was an elite among the elites of the Howling Shark Pirate Group!
On Lu Jin's side, Yun Mengyan was naturally also full of confidence.
Who were they?
They were military weapons created by the Sacred Emperor for the expedition into the Star Sea!
In terms of military professionalism and combat power, there were few in the current Star Sea who could compare to them.
But just as Yun Mengyan was about to lead her Sleeper Legion into battle,
Lu Jin placed his hand on her shoulder. Yun Mengyan looked at Lu Jin with a puzzled expression.
"Captain, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jin placed a crystal core in her palm.
This crystal core was clearly a storage crystal core. Yun Mengyan looked at Lu Jin with some confusion as she gazed at the storage crystal core in her hand.
"I know, the strength of the Sleeper Legion is beyond doubt."
"If you feel it's getting a bit difficult, then use what's inside the crystal core."
"It's a trump card I've prepared for you all."
A trump card?
Yun Mengyan smiled faintly, thinking to herself.
It's just a small skirmish, what need is there for a trump card?
But out of respect for Lu Jin, Yun Mengyan still put away the crystal core.
Both forces entered the war zone.
Lu Jin and Eve immediately used their psionic energy to cover the entire landmass.
At the same time, the ships of both fleets released a large number of drones, so that other non-participating members could see the specific situation inside the match.
When the images were displayed before both sides, everyone saw the performance of the two teams.
The first thing that caught their eye was naturally the Sleeper Legion led by Yun Mengyan.
It must be said that under Yun Mengyan's leadership, the advance of the Sleeper Legion was like a machine.
The 100 members of the legion were like 100 gear parts within a machine, moving methodically towards the core area.
Anyone with even a little military knowledge could tell that the Sleeper Legion before them was definitely an elite force.
"Such strong execution! Is this the force dispatched by that Blue Star Human?"
"Tight coordination, and they've also incorporated various emergency response measures during their advance."
"Elite, this is absolutely an elite among elites!"
"We underestimated their strength before. If the Fangs Hunting Group hadn't entered, we probably would have already lost this match prematurely."
"Exactly! Such an elite force, perhaps only the Fangs Hunting Group can contend with it!"
On Lu Jin's side, he naturally also noticed the Fangs Hunting Group in the footage.
After seeing the Fangs Hunting Group moving like phantoms in the jungle, Lu Jin's face instead showed a smile of successful scheming.
Indeed!
Mermaid Eve, you truly live up to being my chosen partner!
For a mere match, you actually dispatched the most elite legion of the Howling Shark Pirate Group.
However, your cautious approach was also within my expectations.
The Fangs Hunting Group employs a unique hunting system, where each member is called a "Hunter."
And the existence leading the Fangs Hunting Group is called the "Head Hunter"!
The Head Hunter possesses extremely formidable strength and command ability, and is also the core figure of the Fangs Hunting Group.
In Lu Jin's impression, the Howling Shark Pirate Group had many powerful and distinctive half-breeds.
But as the strongest legion under Mermaid Eve, its Head Hunter must not be an ordinary person.
This person must guarantee sufficient loyalty and formidable strength.
After filtering, the only one who met the criteria was Mermaid Jone, who was also from the Atlantis civilization, like Mermaid Eve!
Thinking of this, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
If all his conjectures were correct, then the outcome of this match could now be determined.
And if Mermaid Eve were present to hear Lu Jin's thoughts, she would undoubtedly be extremely shocked.
Because Lu Jin, relying solely on his past life's memories, had deduced her entire sequence of moves.
If that were the case, she would absolutely not have chosen to determine their cooperative status in this manner.
But now, it was too late. The Fangs Hunting Group in the footage had already clashed with the Sleeper Legion.
In the dense, narrow jungle, the Sleeper Legion first discovered traces of the Fangs Hunting Group.
Almost instantly, the Sleeper Legion quickly launched an attack.
psionic hunting rifles were aimed directly at the location of the Fangs Hunting Group!
And the Fangs Hunting Group, true to being the Howling Shark Pirate Group's most elite legion, immediately had countermeasures upon encountering the attack.
All the Hunters scattered, rapidly expanding the entire battlefield in a scattered, flower-like fashion.
With the battlefield expanded and the lines of fire becoming sparse, they found it easier to deal with.
Seeing this, Yun Mengyan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Interesting. To be able to react quickly and implement countermeasures even when caught off guard."
Thinking of this, Yun Mengyan's lips curved slightly upward.
The more challenging the enemy, the more interesting it is!
The next second, the Hunters' counterattack appeared with ferocity!
A spear suddenly shot out from the jungle, a very ancient hunting weapon.
But the users were the Fangs Hunting Group, so the Sleeper Legion dared not show any slack.
Sleeper Legion members holding psionic shields quickly blocked in front of the attacked target.
Clang!
The spear directly pierced through the psionic shield!
Only then did the Sleeper Legion realize that the spear before them was actually made of superalloy.
And on the surface of the spear, various craftsmanship marks were densely arranged like runes!
And just then, the grooves on the spear's surface suddenly lit up!
A powerful energy reaction made the Sleeper Legion sense danger.
Almost instinctively, with a rapid reaction, the Sleeper Legion directly threw out the psionic shield along with the spear stuck in it.
Boom!
Flames immediately swept through the entire jungle area.
The violent explosion's shockwave even caused the surrounding trees to fall.
Explosive spears?
Before the Sleeper Legion could react, a large number of explosive spears shot out from all around again.
"Defensive formation!"
Yun Mengyan made a decisive decision, immediately commanding the Sleeper Legion to form a defensive formation.
All Sleeper Legion members immediately switched equipment, and heavy, highly defensive alloy shields were erected in front of them.
In an instant, the alloy shields unfolded, forming a temporary defensive line.
Just when everyone thought the Sleeper Legion was about to fall into a passive situation, the Sleeper Legion member at the very center pulled out a Gatling machine gun.
What the hell?
When everyone saw that massive and dangerous Gatling machine gun, they couldn't help but freeze in place.
Aren't you in a defensive formation?
What the hell is this Gatling machine gun?
+++
Chapter 177 Layers of Confrontation! Downhill Road!
"Hey, hey, hey, what exactly is this thing?"
"A Gatling gun, isn't it a defensive formation? Why would heavy firepower appear?"
"Is that the point? The point is a 100-person unit, and they actually carry heavy firepower?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Gatling heavy machine gun was mounted on the alloy shield.
Yun Mengyan looked at the Gatling heavy machine gun in front of her, and a cruel smile appeared on her face.
This Gatling heavy machine gun was the latest research achievement of the weapon laboratory.
On the basis of the original firearms, a psionic trigger device was added.
That is to say, all the bullets of this Gatling heavy machine gun have now been replaced with psionic bullets.
The biggest advantage of psionic bullets is that not only are they powerful, but they also do not cause excessive heat to burden the firearm when they leave the barrel!
Therefore, when the Gatling heavy machine gun was set up, Yun Mengyan directly grasped all the energy transmission pipelines of the Gatling heavy machine gun.
Fire!
With the output of psionic power, the Gatling heavy machine gun directly sprayed a storm of bullets as fierce as a downpour.
In just a breath, the surrounding jungle was completely cleared.
The hunters hiding in the dark had already retreated to a distance when they saw this posture.
But when they saw such terrifying firepower, their eyes were still filled with unconcealable shock.
"Such fierce firepower!"
"Is this a defensive formation? It's truly indestructible!"
"What do we do next?"
"Retreat! Reach the core area before them and set up traps!"
Mermaid Jone, as the leader of the hunt, quickly judged that the current situation was very unfavorable for them.
Therefore, to be safe, Mermaid Jone decided to retreat first and reach the core area in advance.
Now the enemy was in the open, and they were in the dark.
As long as they set up traps in advance and used them to ambush their opponents, they would still have a chance to win this battle.
Mermaid Jone's strategy was unanimously approved by many hunters.
The many hunters quickly dispersed, breaking into smaller groups and heading towards the core area again.
Seeing the hunters retreating in the footage, the Howling Shark Pirate Group members' expressions immediately turned ugly.
They never expected that this clash would end with the Fangs Hunting Group's retreat.
They originally thought that the Fangs Hunting Group would at least be able to contend with the Sleeper Legion.
But after just one encounter, the Fangs Hunting Group chose to retreat.
On the Sleeper side, after realizing that the opponent had left, Yun Mengyan waved her hand, signaling the many Sleepers to resume their advancing formation.
And after this brief skirmish, Yun Mengyan also understood the opponent's strength.
She had to admit that the opponent was indeed formidable; if it were any other team, they would probably have fallen into the opponent's trap.
These so-called hunters possessed powerful individual combat capabilities.
Although their coordination was not optimal, relying on their strong individual combat abilities, they could unleash great potential with just a little guidance.
"Indeed, a formidable opponent."
Now that the opponent had retreated, they were probably preparing for the next ambush.
Currently, the Sleeper had fallen into a disadvantage.
They didn't gain an advantage in the first clash, and with the enemy in the dark and them in the open, it was their disadvantage.
Just then, Yun Mengyan thought of the storage crystal given to her by Lu Jin.
She took out the storage crystal and inserted it into her personal terminal.
Soon, the information stored within it was displayed on Yun Mengyan's personal terminal.
Seeing this information, Yun Mengyan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
After reading all the data and intelligence, a confident smile appeared on Yun Mengyan's face.
"My Captain, you really gave me a surprise!"
Through the drone footage, Lu Jin also saw Yun Mengyan's actions.
It seemed she had already received the intelligence data from the storage crystal.
If so, the outcome of this battle was already without suspense.
Just then, an extremely strong psionic fluctuation suddenly came from the sky.
As Lu Jin looked up at the sky, Mermaid Eve landed directly in front of him from the other side of the island.
"Oh? Miss Eve, why are you here?"
"Because I'm curious, what's in that storage crystal?"
The scenes Lu Jin could see, Mermaid Eve could naturally also see.
And when Mermaid Eve saw Yun Mengyan take out the storage crystal, the psionic energy in her mind actually activated.
That's right!
Mermaid Eve had a psionic talent, a talent that other psionics did not possess.
A unique talent belonging exclusively to Mermaid Eve!
That was the Sixth Sense!
Mermaid's Sixth Sense allowed Mermaid Eve to perceive things that ordinary people could not.
Such as elusive luck, and victory or defeat, and even a person's danger level!
But now, after seeing that storage crystal, her Sixth Sense in her mind actually activated.
She was bound to lose this match!
Clearly, the key to victory or defeat lay in that storage crystal.
But Lu Jin chose not to tell Mermaid Eve, because the intelligence stored in that crystal was precisely about the Fangs Hunting Group.
All this intelligence was deduced by Lu Jin based on his memories from his previous life and combat experience.
Although not perfectly accurate, given that the two forces were currently of similar strength...
The intelligence in the storage crystal was undoubtedly a fatal blow!
"Just watch, and you'll know!"
In the footage, the Sleeper finally had their second clash with the Fangs Hunting Group.
But this time, the Fangs Hunting Group had already set up a large number of traps.
As long as the Sleeper stepped into their encirclement, the victory of this battle would already be certain.
Of course, this was the imagined outcome.
The Sleeper in the footage suddenly stopped at the edge of the trap encirclement.
Everyone's breathing hitched, and everyone was watching the Sleeper in the footage.
But the next second, a scene that made the Howling Shark Pirate Group furious occurred.
The Sleepers suddenly changed their tactics at the last moment before stepping into the traps.
They actually adopted the same 'breaking into smaller groups' tactic as the Fangs Hunting Group.
All the Sleepers dispersed and quickly approached the ambush area where the Fangs Hunting Group was located.
"Damn it! What's going on? These guys must be cheating!"
"Cheating! They must be cheating!"
"Shut up, don't embarrass yourself here!"
"This match is essentially a military strength competition between two forces. If the opponent has the ability to discover the traps we set, it only means we are not as good as them!"
"No! The match isn't over yet, the hunters haven't been caught yet!"
But before he finished speaking, Yun Mengyan had already arrived at one of the ambush points.
When she saw Mermaid Jone hidden in the trench, she couldn't help but whistle cheerfully.
"Big fish!"
+++
Chapter 178 A Fixed Ending! Let Me Do It?
Mermaid Jone, discovered, had a calm gaze, not flustered in the slightest by being found.
Seeing this, Yun Mengyan on the opposite side reacted quickly.
She pulled the trigger of her explosive bullet gun, and it roared!
Mermaid Jone's movement, which was preparing to attack, quickly shifted to dodging!
Bang!
A shell crater appeared at the spot where Mermaid Jone had been ambushing.
Mermaid Jone quickly retreated to a distance, watching Yun Mengyan, who was wearing psionic armor.
The two sides looked at each other, and Yun Mengyan initiative put away her explosive bullet gun.
Mermaid Jone on the opposite side seemed to understand Yun Mengyan's action, and the corner of his mouth curved into a slight smile!
The next second, the two directly began fighting using the purest close combat.
Everyone was drawn to their battle.
But Lu Jin and Eve looked at other screens.
On the other screens, the Sleepers, using their intelligence advantage, captured all the hunters ambushing at various locations.
Almost instantly, half of the hunters were taken captive.
The outcome of this battle was already decided!
But neither Lu Jin nor Eve chose to stop the battle!
Because the battle between Yun Mengyan and Mermaid Jone had not yet ended!
Two equally powerful Psionicists, right in the center of the island, unleashed their full strength in a contest.
Their battle finally ended only when all their respective forces had returned to their fleets.
"I lost!"
Mermaid Jone panted, looking at Yun Mengyan.
And Yun Mengyan's condition was not good either; her psionic energy was severely depleted, and her projection was now becoming transparent.
However, Mermaid Jone knew very well!
The weapons held by the Sleeper Legion were far more powerful than those held by their Fangs Hunting Group.
But the other party did not choose to crush him with their weapon advantage.
The pure close combat and pure psionic confrontation greatly increased Mermaid Jone's favorable impression of Lu Jin's unit.
He had not encountered such a powerful opponent in a long time.
Of course, Yun Mengyan on the opposite side was also very arrogant.
"You're not bad either; I acknowledge you!"
Yun Mengyan also understood that without Lu Jin's intelligence support,
they would most likely have fallen into the trap set by the Fangs Hunting Group, and at that point, the outcome would have become uncertain.
Therefore, her victory was not a pure victory!
Yun Mengyan and Mermaid Jone eventually withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their respective fleets.
The result of the team match naturally ended with Lu Jin's side victorious.
When Mermaid Eve and Mermaid Jone returned to the Howling Shark Pirate Group, the surrounding crew immediately gathered around.
"Boss Jone is fine! This time, the other side was just slightly better!"
"That's right! We lost the team match, but we still have the individual matches!"
"Diamond War God Salim is already impatient; we will definitely win the next matches!"
Listening to the crew's reassurances, Jone showed a faint smile.
And Mermaid Eve glanced at the surrounding crew.
Next, it was time to select the participants for the individual matches.
"Shelia, Yin Yue, you two have no problem participating, right?"
"No problem, so who is the remaining person?"
"Who cares who the third person is; as long as the two of us win our matches, losing the third match isn't a problem."
Just then, Lu Jin's gaze fell on Yu Tiancang, who was standing nearby.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang was holding a bottle of energy drink, leisurely watching Lu Jin select the next combatants.
In his opinion, the upcoming matches were even more interesting.
There were certainly various heroes and formidable figures within the Howling Shark Pirate Group, but their side was not bad either.
Just among the Star Sea Elves and the Star Hunting Dragons, there were the powerful presences of Elder Ai Lan and Yuval.
Of course, for such a match, Shelia and Yin Yue would definitely participate.
So who would be the third person?
Would it be Elder Ai Lan, or Yuval, or one of the Sleepers?
Just as Yu Tiancang was pondering the third candidate, he suddenly realized that everyone's gaze was on him.
Yu Tiancang took a big gulp of his energy drink, then let out a burp.
"Why are you looking at me? You can't possibly expect me to go fight against the elite cadres of the Howling Shark Pirate Group, can you?"
"Although I have psionic armor, it's not appropriate for me to participate in this kind of occasion, is it?"
"I'm just a civilian role; do you expect me to go on stage?"
Yu Tiancang was very open about his own position.
Now that the Kindling Fleet was growing stronger, his strength as first mate was certainly insufficient.
But in terms of commanding the fleet, besides Lu Jin, there really was no one who could replace him.
So, Yu Tiancang was happy to be at leisure, only needing to use his brain on weekdays.
Now that Lu Jin and the others were looking at Yu Tiancang, it couldn't help but make Yu Tiancang's heart skip a beat.
"You want me to fight the elite cadres of the Howling Shark Pirate Group? Are you serious?"
"That's right, the third one is you."
Huh?
What kind of joke is this?
Yu Tiancang felt as if the sky was about to fall; what would he do up there?
He had no psionic energy, nor powerful special abilities to rely on; wouldn't he just be getting beaten up on stage?
But very quickly, Yu Tiancang understood Lu Jin's intention.
"Sigh, if that's the case, then it seems I have no choice but to go!"
Seeing that Yu Tiancang understood his meaning, Lu Jin didn't say anything more.
The Howling Shark Pirate Group also confirmed their participants.
As Lu Jin expected, the first to appear was Diamond War God Salim.
Salim was now seething with anger, needing a battle to vent his fury.
Seeing this, Lu Jin decisively chose to send Shelia to the stage!
Shelia transformed into her dragon form, soared into the air, and landed directly on the prepared arena.
Upon seeing that her opponent was a Star Hunting Dragon, Salim's gaze on the opposite side also became solemn.
"A Star Hunting Dragon? Good, such an opponent is worthy!"
Salim excitedly waved his fists, and as he did, a layer of special armor, like diamonds, condensed on his body.
Seeing this, Shelia on the opposite side directly transformed into her human form.
Her gaze was full of playful mockery, as if she wasn't facing an opponent, but a prey to toy with.
Noticing Shelia's gaze, Salim became even more furious!
It had been a long time since anyone dared to look down on him like this!
In this emotional state, the battle erupted!
Salim lunged at Shelia with lightning speed, his arm transforming into the sharpest diamond blade.
In a charging state, the diamond blade emitted a cold glint.
Seeing this, Shelia stood her ground, not choosing to dodge, but instead looking directly at Salim on the opposite side.
"What's wrong with that Star Hunting Dragon on the other side?"
"Could it be that she was scared silly by Diamond War God Salim's attack!"
"Hmm? But she's a Star Hunting Dragon, how could she be so weak?"
+++
Chapter 179 Gun-wielding Dragon Wing Bombardment! Let me go!
In an instant, the attack reached Shelia.
Facing such a calm and composed opponent, even Salim couldn't help but frown slightly.
If the opponent didn't retaliate, the outcome of this battle would already be determined.
But just then, Shelia's gaze suddenly fell on Salim.
Ding!
As Salim's attack landed in the air,
everyone suddenly realized that a Psionic Barrier had already materialized in front of Shelia.
It was precisely because of this Psionic Barrier in front of her that Shelia could be so fearless.
"Heh, so it was a Psionic Barrier!"
With his attack blocked by the Psionic Barrier, a smile appeared on Salim's face.
He didn't want this battle to end so easily.
But upon hearing Salim's words, a hint of a mocking smile flashed in Shelia's eyes.
"Psionic Barrier? I wouldn't use such a low-level trick!"
Not a Psionic Barrier?
Then what blocked his attack?
After Shelia's reminder, Salim finally realized that the Psionic Barrier in front of him was different from the Psionic Barrier he remembered.
Why did this Psionic Barrier have the appearance of scales?
Furthermore, this Psionic Barrier seemed to have a certain curvature!
At this moment, the members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group outside the arena all widened their eyes, looking at the ring with disbelief.
At this very moment, on the arena, centered around Shelia, a giant dragon's psionic projection was impressively situated!
"What... what the hell is this?"
"A projection? But this projection seems to have a physical form!"
"It's a projection formed by psionic energy; I can sense the immense psionic energy contained within it!"
"How was such a massive psionic projection created?"
Mermaid Eve was also shocked by the psionic projection displayed by Shelia.
One must know that to condense such a massive psionic projection, not only does it require immense psionic energy, but also precise control over it.
Clearly, Shelia, as a Star Hunting Dragon, possessed powerful mastery over psionic energy!
Boom!
When Salim discovered the giant dragon projection in front of him, he was also incredibly shocked.
But before the shock in his eyes could fade, Shelia decisively launched an attack.
The dragon's tail lashed out, and Salim immediately chose to defend and block.
Yet, even so, he still retreated dozens of meters, his feet plowing deep furrows in the ground.
But before Salim could react, the giant dragon spread its wings behind it.
Seeing the wings behind it, Salim's mouth gaped wider, crude words almost escaping his throat.
And the crew members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"What did I see? Am I seeing things?"
"You're not seeing things; not just you, all of us saw it!"
"What's on the dragon's wings? Firearms? Is this a psionic battle or a firepower battle?"
"My cyber-dragon, she alone can match the firepower of a Legion!"
"Legion Commander Salim, why don't we forfeit this round first!"
At this moment, the psionic giant dragon projected by Shelia spread its wings behind it.
But the wings, originally formed by psionic energy, were now covered with countless firearms; the moment the giant dragon spread its wings, countless firearms appeared in the opponent's view!
It was hard to imagine what kind of doomsday scene it would be if so many firearms fired simultaneously!
"I'm giving you three seconds now. I'll count to three, and before I reach three, you can choose to surrender."
Shelia stood there, looking calmly at Salim in front of her.
And Salim had never encountered an opponent with such a fighting style.
Combining psionic energy with technology, he never expected the visual shock it would give him to be so terrifying.
But should he surrender?
No!
He represented the Howling Shark Pirate Group!
He absolutely could not surrender!
At least he had to block this attack to prove his strength!
"Three!"
Just then, with Shelia's command, the giant dragon projection behind her decisively opened fire.
A fierce waterfall of bullets directly rained down on Salim.
Everyone stood stunned, realizing what had happened a moment too late.
You said count to "three," was that what you meant by count to "three"?
At this moment, Eve, next to Lu Jin, decisively took action, her psionic energy directly landing on the arena to create a shield.
Diamond War God Salim was now kneeling on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
Even though he was covered in a large amount of diamonds as armor, he could not withstand Shelia's terrifying, legion-like firepower.
"Mr. Lu Jin, we concede this round."
Clearly, Salim was already severely wounded; continuing to fight would put his life at risk.
Therefore, Mermaid Eve decisively chose to concede.
Lu Jin waved his hand, signaling Shelia to return.
Shelia, standing on the arena, yawned a little boredly.
"That's all it takes? I originally wanted you all to try my '9999 Gatling Machine Gun Dragon Wing Bombardment' move."
9999 Gatling Machine Gun Dragon Wing Bombardment?
So, the move they just witnessed was still far from her limit?
Just hearing the name of the move made the crew members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group feel their scalps tingle.
Was this still the Star Hunting Dragon they remembered?
In their memory, weren't Star Hunting Dragons all a group of proud star-sea creatures?
Since when did these creatures, who revered primal psionic power, start wielding guns and cannons?
Mermaid Eve sent Salim to the ship's medical bay.
Watching her companion lie down in the medical bay, Mermaid Eve turned to look at the other crew members.
"There are two more matches. Who wants to go?"
As soon as she said this, the crew members, who had been quite lively moments before, suddenly fell silent.
They had all witnessed the opponent's strength.
From initial disdain to current silence.
Mermaid Eve couldn't help but rub her forehead, truly wondering if agreeing to this challenge was a good thing or a bad thing.
And just at this moment, one of the crew members, clad in a black robe, stepped forward.
"Big sister, let me try."
Hearing this voice, everyone looked at the black-robed crew member.
Mermaid Eve also recognized the crew member in front of her; it was the Legion Commander of her Fifth Legion.
A hybrid with genes from Dark Star people and Venom Snake people.
Black Snake Fikajia!
Mermaid Eve recalled Fikajia's strength; although her Fifth Legion was the most low-key among all the Legions,
the missions she assigned to her seemed to have never failed.
Overall, she was also one of the more reliable crew members under her command.
And at this point, she was the only crew member who had volunteered.
Given that, she could only send her to participate in the next match.
If they lost the next match too, the Howling Shark Pirate Group would completely lose face.
"Can she win?"
+++
Chapter 180 is even more terrifying! A giant sea monster!
"I'll try my best."
After witnessing the previous battle, even Black Snake Fikajia couldn't guarantee her victory.
But at this point, they had no other choice.
When Mermaid Eve led Black Snake Fikajia away from the ship and back to the edge of the arena, Lu Jin also cast his gaze towards Mermaid Eve.
Upon seeing Black Snake Fikajia next to Mermaid Eve, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Black Snake Fikajia, a rather tricky opponent."
"However, for Silver Moon, it shouldn't be a problem."
In his memories from his previous life, Lu Jin knew very well that Fikajia was also a formidable character.
Although she was currently just a Legion Commander under Mermaid Eve.
But in his past life's memories, her bounty was higher than any other Legion Commander.
The bounty alone was enough to indicate her strength!
Coupled with her low-key personality, her strength was certainly not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Silver Moon was already standing on the arena, just standing there, holding the blade she always used in her arms.
When Black Snake Fikajia appeared in her line of sight, Silver Moon instantly locked onto her!
Black Snake Fikajia's heart skipped a beat below the stage; it was the first time she had felt such trepidation.
It was as if she had been choked before even fighting!
Very strong!
The opponent was very strong, even stronger than the Star Hunting Dragon just now!
She was facing a Star Sea Elves, a powerful race with one of the top spiritual energy talents in the Star Sea!
But Black Snake Fikajia also knew very well that she represented the Howling Shark Pirate Group!
Stepping onto the arena, Black Snake Fikajia took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
The two stood there, observing each other.
Even when the battle began, neither made any move.
This situation left the surrounding spectators a bit confused.
"Why aren't they fighting?"
"Are both sides holding back their ultimate moves?"
"Perhaps they are both masters, and we can't perceive their movements."
"Have they actually already started?"
Just as both sides were speculating, Silver Moon made her move!
She directly drew the sharp blade in her hand, and a violent edge instantly swept across the entire island like a storm!
The faces of the Howling Shark Pirate Group watching the battle changed; the pressure of just one move actually covered the entire island!
And Black Snake Fikajia opposite her broke out in a cold sweat!
Such a powerful attack!
But the opponent's attack didn't seem to be aimed at her?
Just as Black Snake Fikajia's thought arose, the entire island began to shake!
Lu Jin and Eve also noticed the anomaly at the bottom of the island.
"Heh, I didn't expect that our previous sparring match would attract a group of uninvited guests."
Rumble... At the edge of the island's sea, a mountain peak suddenly appeared.
The mountain peak, like a sharp blade on the sea, directly struck towards the island!
Upon seeing this, the members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group quickly became alert and boarded their own ships!
At this moment, in the deep sea area at the bottom of the island.
Countless giant sea beasts gathered here, all of them attracted by the spiritual energy emanating from the battle on the island.
On this ocean planet, an island erupting with spiritual energy was as bright as a lighthouse to these giant sea beasts.
In an instant, several giant sea beasts launched an attack on the island before them.
As the leaders of both sides, neither Eve nor Lu Jin chose to act!
The giant sea beasts were fierce, but they were not to be trifled with either.
On the arena, Silver Moon remained calm and composed in the face of the attacking mountain-like fin!
Slash!
With one swing of her blade, the entire island was instantly split in half.
Immediately after, a large number of giant sea beast corpses floated to the surface from the seabed!
It was then that everyone realized how terrifying the appearance of these giant sea beasts was!
The most ferocious among them was undoubtedly the Megalodon with a fin as massive as a mountain.
Its fin not only had a tough mineral outer shell, but its body was also extremely large.
The size of just one Megalodon was almost comparable to that of an island.
Upon seeing this, Black Snake Fikajia also directly unleashed her abilities!
She pulled out a dagger and instantly cut her palm.
Dark green blood dripped into the seawater, and with the shattered island as the center, the surrounding sea area was instantly corroded by potent poison.
The giant sea beasts on the seabed were even more unfortunate, successively floating to the surface.
Silver Moon's eyes narrowed slightly at the sight, and the sharp blade in her hand was drawn again.
This strike directly parted the seawater.
The giant sea beasts hidden in the water had no escape!
Just like that, the original arena match directly turned into a hunting competition!
Black Snake Fikajia naturally had no objections; if it were a pure test of martial prowess, her chances of winning might be slim.
But if she could win against Silver Moon in hunting giant sea beasts, she would at least have brought some honor to the Howling Shark Pirate Group.
However, just as this thought surfaced in her mind, Silver Moon's aura around her suddenly intensified.
Violent spiritual energy directly condensed into the form of armor around her.
Another spiritual energy projection?!
Can't you guys use a different move?
The next second, Silver Moon condensed a hundred-meter-long greatsword!
With one strike, the surrounding sea instantly churned with an endless spiritual energy storm.
All the crew members of the Howling Shark Pirate Group gaped, unable to describe the scene they witnessed with mere shock!
Both members under Lu Jin possessed such terrifying spiritual energy talent.
Even Mermaid Eve's expression was solemn at this moment.
In just two matches, she could tell that both crew members under Lu Jin possessed unimaginable spiritual energy talent.
To put it bluntly, given enough time, even she would find it difficult to contend with them.
Mermaid Eve believed her spiritual energy genes were strong enough, and her spiritual energy talent was strong enough.
But now, she saw Lu Jin, and she saw the crew members under him.
At this moment, Mermaid Eve seemed to laugh at herself.
"I was truly short-sighted after all!"
Meanwhile, Lu Jin's gaze was fixed on the sea surface, which was gradually being stained red with blood.
The number of these deep-sea giant beasts was a bit too many!
If they were merely sea beasts attracted by the leakage of spiritual energy, their numbers shouldn't be this high.
Just as Lu Jin was wondering, Mermaid Eve beside him seemed to sense something.
"Mr. Lu Jin, I detect large-scale energy fluctuations at the bottom of the sea."
"Some of these giant sea beasts were attracted by spiritual energy, while others might have been driven out by the energy fluctuations at the bottom of the sea."
Energy fluctuations at the bottom of the sea?
At the mention of this, Lu Jin immediately thought of the underwater research institute.
Could it be that the Scholars of the Realism Faction had opened the portal?
Just as Lu Jin was still uncertain, the sea surface beneath his feet surged once more!
