Chapter 765: Chapter 247: Are You an Outsider?
The fierce battle on the river continues.
The Bone-piercing Crocodiles keep charging, slamming into the sides and the bottom of the ships repeatedly. The advantage of the Beast Taming Sect is evident here, as these Demon Beasts lack intelligence and can be triggered into a wild fight with just a bit of stimulation.
The sacrifices of the Bone-piercing Crocodile Group are effective.
The outermost Redwood Warship eventually gets a hole knocked out of it, and the pitch-black river water gushes in as the Bone-piercing Crocodiles scramble to squeeze through the hole for attacks.
The cultivators inside the warship suddenly fall into chaos, rapidly moving to rescue.
They have no choice but to face the Demon Beasts, clad in bone armor with fierce spikes, which leads to a sharp increase in casualties.
The main reason is the damage to the Redwood Warship, which causes the Defensive Magic Array’s power to drop significantly, like a city having a corner of its walls breached.
Soon, the central warship also groans, with its bulwarks on the brink of collapse in many areas.
A Bone-piercing Crocodile, approaching the Golden Core Level, suddenly jumps onto the ship from the stern, rampaging through the crew, causing massive casualties.
Yang Weida shouted loudly, “Hold on, hold on!”
He wanted to cast spells with all his strength, but the confined space on the ship made him worry about injuring his companions inadvertently, feeling quite constrained.
“Damn! I’ve done business for so many years and haven’t earned much money. Finally, I got a chance to rise above others. Is it going to end here?”
Yang Weida secretly gritted his teeth, moving his feet awkwardly, unobtrusively retreating behind the others, gradually reaching a relatively safe position at the ship’s bow.
He thought everyone was engaged in fierce battle and wouldn’t notice his small movements, but actually, the entire battlefield on the river was under the observation of Sun Ning and his companion.
Sun Ning and his companion had just participated in the great war of Liangzhu Country; although this river battle was intense, with both sides fighting fearlessly, in their eyes, it was just this and nothing more.
Flying Bone Shield.
Sun Lingtong manipulates a bone shield hovering above, smacking down a Bone-piercing Crocodile attempting to climb over the bulwark.
Soul Killing Blade.
He accurately turned around, as if having eyes on the back of his head, and with a flash of the blade, beheaded a Bone-piercing Crocodile behind him.
Although Sun Lingtong just obtained these two Magic Artifacts, he wielded them proficiently, slaying quite a few crocodiles.
“Be careful, I’ve detected a discreet aura deep in the river,” Sun Lingtong transmitted thoughts to Ning Zhuo with Divine Sense.
He is from the Bukong Sect and is far superior in detecting techniques than Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo nodded inwardly, “Makes sense. The White Bone Crocodile Demon is quite familiar with Qing Yan, dare to ambush this fleet, naturally has a backup plan.”
“They are all Golden Core Level cultivators; the one hidden is likely another Golden Core Cultivator.”
Saying this, Ning Zhuo tossed the fish spear in his hand.
The Fish Spear Magical Artifact belonged to Jiao Ma, and after picking up the corpse, Ning Zhuo naturally refined it for disguise.
Once thrown, the spear immediately pierced through a Bone-piercing Crocodile, killing it on the spot.
Ning Zhuo reached out, invoking Divine Sense, consuming mana, and retrieved the fish spear back into his hand.
This fish spear is a Magic Artifact, with the function of being thrown and retrieved. Generally, weapons are held in hand unless it’s a bow or crossbow, and not easily thrown away.
Sun Lingtong mainly defended, Ning Zhuo mainly attacked; even though they changed their identities, their cooperation remained seamless.
Sun Lingtong, having already created his own Sword Skill, wielded his broadsword vigorously, repelling Bone-piercing Crocodiles around his vicinity.
Every time Ning Zhuo prepared and poised, he would unleash the fish spear, making frequent kills, often taking the enemy down in one strike.
“Little Zhuo, here’s a thrill for you,” Sun Lingtong reminded with Divine Sense, his body slanted, pretending to be exhausted, breaking through the Bone-piercing Crocodiles.
Then, Sun Lingtong knelt slightly on the deck, shouting, “Master, be careful!”
Ning Zhuo snorted coldly, lowered the fish spear high in his hand, rotated his wrist, shifted his foot, spun his body around once, as the fish spear swirled around his waist.
Through this momentum-building action, the force of the fish spear increased immensely, harshly striking the belly of the Bone-piercing Crocodile and sending it back into the river directly.
Sun Lingtong transmitted thoughts with Divine Sense, “Hehe, Little Zhuo, nice moves.”
Ning Zhuo had previously trained relentlessly at the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, greatly compensating for his melee combat shortcomings. After experiencing the great war in Liangzhu Country, he further enhanced his melee abilities, crucially gaining composure, remaining calm under pressure.
Ning Zhuo replied with a cold snort, knowing Sun Lingtong was joking with him, evidently discontent with the servant’s identity.
Then he immediately scolded, “You Iron Tuo slave, get up and fight, don’t embarrass me!”
Sun Lingtong widened his eyes, gritted his teeth and stood up, “Iron Tuo obeys!”
The two were both Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with formidable combat strength; even under the disguise, revealing just three to four parts was enough to hold the ship’s bow steady.
“These two are impressive, no wonder they are esteemed by Commander Qing Yan!” Yang Weida, having retreated to the bow, glanced at Sun Ning and his companion, feeling stirred, moved closer to them.
Just then, a sinister laugh was heard.
Following, Qing Yan’s surprised shout and rebuke also resonated, “Who’s sneaking around?!”
“I am Xie Sichao, a Ghost Cultivator, sneaky by nature. Commander Qing Yan’s praise is truly delightful,” the previous sinister voice continued.
With his response, the Golden Core Level aura was unmistakably revealed, no longer concealed.
The enemies still hid a second Golden Core Cultivator!
Everyone on board was discolored, panic erupted, and the fighting spirit visibly decreased.
“Here they come, Water Ghosts!” Sun Lingtong concealed Spirit Light in his eyes, having obtained reconnaissance results, promptly notified Ning Zhuo secretly.
In the next moment, the Bone-piercing Crocodile Group swiftly retreated, countless ghosts emerged from the riverbed, slowly surfaced, launching an attack on the three Redwood Warships.
