A giant wooden ship, 1000 meters long, anchored on the boundless water surface, with the river water boiling around it. Countless enormous aquatic creatures were frantically attacking the giant ship.
A Black Fish Spirit with a four-to-five-meter-long fish body, covered in scales, with two long whiskers hanging from its chin.
A Crab Spirit standing upright on its shell-back, waving its claws.
An unnamed aquatic creature resembling a bug, with layers of wrinkled folds.
Dense aquatic spirits gathered at the ship's rails, either frantically striking and colliding, or spewing water arrows and venom. Some Fish Spirits puffed up their cheeks to create waves over ten meters high, crashing against the transparent shroud covering the giant ship.
"Thunderfire Tower, prepare to charge!"
On the thick deck of the giant ship stood towering white jade stone towers.
The stone towers had a warm texture, with dense spiritual patterns carved on their surfaces. Around each tower, four players stood, placing their hands on the stone pillars to inject mana. Intense spiritual light swiftly extended upwards along the formation patterns, converging at the tower's peak into a fiercely expanding Flaming Thunderball, with threads of lightning crazily dancing inside.
"Release!"
With a forceful command, the enormous Thunderball flew out and plunged into the water.
"Boom!"
The terrifying Blazing Divine Thunder exploded repeatedly, turning a radius of several hundred meters into a fiery inferno. Endless river water evaporated and rose, and the aquatic spirits within were all torn to shreds, the blood instantly dyeing a large area of the river red.

After the earth-shattering barrage ended, Su Yu immediately felt countless warm currents surging within his body. He quickly opened the interface and saw that the two hundred or so Thunderfire Towers on the giant wooden ship's deck had fired in unison, eliminating a total of 962 creatures of varying levels and gaining 17,562 points of slaying experience.
"Awesome!"
Turning off the interface, Su Yu looked beyond the giant ship. The fiery lightning had disappeared, and the water vapor had dissipated, revealing the blood-red river water and the floating debris of various aquatic spirits.
"Craftsmen, check the Thunderfire Towers. Everyone else, prepare to clean up the remnants."
The wave hadn't killed all the surrounding creatures. Beneath the blood-red waves, large dark shadows occasionally surfaced, creating whirlpools and dragging pieces of debris underwater, disappearing without a trace.
Splash! A large shadow broke through the water's surface, revealing a massive fish head the size of a truck, with deep black scales as large as palms, biting onto a piece of debris and sinking into the water, splashing huge waves.

"Damn, a BOSS?"
As the words fell, three veteran players from a nearby guild leaped into the air. One opened his mouth to release a blue light, which transformed into a three-zhang long sword beam under his command and plunged into the water.
Another pulled out a small banner, waving it to transform into a gigantic Ghost Banner emitting black smoke. It lightly shook, and a black vortex appeared on the banner face, releasing numerous black shadows that transformed into smoking ghosts.
These fierce ghosts ranged from level 30 to 40. After gathering over a hundred heads, they charged into the water with a wave of the Hundred Ghost Banner.
Shortly, the river exploded, and a massive creature akin to a yacht burst from the water, revealing its ten-meter-long enormous body, with deep black scales thick as hands, and fins standing upright. Thick spikes as wide as an arm extended from its head to its tail.
"It's massive!"
Amidst the exclamations of newcomers, a blue sword beam shot out of the water, circling around the Black Fish Spirit and causing a series of sparks and a chain of damage around seventy points.
Then, over a hundred fierce ghosts rushed out and swarmed together, their weapons attacking all at once.
But the damage was low, with only a few points at the least and twenty to thirty points at the most.
However, the quantity was high, and the cumulative damage was quite significant.
At this time, another senior guild player produced a palm-sized silver gourd, threw it, and it expanded in the wind to a size larger than a person. A silver vortex appeared at the gourd's mouth, and a blinding silver light flashed for an instant. The next second, a bloody hole exploded in the Black Fish Spirit BOSS's head, with the silver light piercing through and emerging on the other side.
-1258!
The BOSS opened its mouth to let out a wailing scream, then plunged back into the water. Beneath the surface, the water stirred, rapidly forming a giant vortex over fifty meters in diameter. A moment later, a massive fish head protected by a transparent water shield extended from the vortex, inhaling deeply to gather countless blue light dots, then exhaling sharply to launch arm-thick water arrows skyward.
