Chapter 152: Sea Battle, Merman Race (1)
Chapter 152: Sea Battle, Merman Race (1)
There were many small countries in the Southern Sea of Great Gan.
Most of these small countries were barren, but they were rich in rare medicinal herbs and spiritual items.
These were all cultivation materials needed by martial artists and Qi Practitioners, they were extremely valuable.
But people have to live first
If one’s stomach wasn’t full, how could one talk about cultivation?
Thus, when trading, Great Gan would often use some common materials to exchange for large amounts of precious herbs and spiritual items, earning a lot of money.
Su Mu and the other pirates also made a fortune.
The Flying Raven Pirates robbed the most cargo ships from Fu Sang Country.
Among the many small countries in the South Sea, Fu Sang Country was the strongest.
The cargo ship was usually full, and all of them were good goods!
Li Yaqin loved snatching from them.
Even the largest warship under their feet, Wandering Dragon, belonged to Fu Sang Country.
However, a clay figurine was still a match, let alone a country.
Just as he was about to transport the goods to make money, he was robbed by pirates.
Could he tolerate this?
This couldn’t be tolerated!
In recent years, Fu Sang Country’s counterattack had become more and more intense.
Among them, the Takeda clan was the one who had been staring at them the most.
The ones who attacked Su Mu’s group this night were the Takeda Clan’s fleet.
..
After hearing the commotion, Su Mu quickly rushed out.
He climbed onto the mast and looked into the distance. He saw fifteen medium-sized warships surrounding him from afar. They were flying the flag of the Takeda family of Fu Sang Country.
As the ambusher, the Takeda Clan’s warship had already launched an attack!
Rockets rained down on them, lighting up the entire night sky!
The pirates who were celebrating were caught off guard, and there were many casualties.
Wave after wave of fire arrows were fired, and there was almost no pause.
It didn’t have much of an impact on Su Mu.
He activated his Stellar Energy to create a defensive barrier that easily blocked the arrows.
At the same time, under Li Yaqin’s command, the pirates set up their shields and controlled their warships to attack the enemy.
The Takeda Clan’s warships had no intention of retreating, and they also steered their warships towards Su Mu and the others.
Who knew that when the distance between the two sides was 500 meters, the enemy’s leading battleship suddenly launched three Fire Dragon Cannons!
The Fire Dragon Cannon was a magical weapon that was specially used for naval battles or sieges.
This kind of magic tool was not easy to forge, and the cost was high.
The Fire Dragon Cannon was very cumbersome and could not deal with powerful martial artists and Qi Practitioners. It could only deal with inanimate objects.
In addition, it also required a competent Qi Practitioner to operate and protect it personally before it could be used.
Although there were many restrictions, the power of the Fire Dragon Cannon was extremely shocking.
It was a great killing weapon at sea!
Although the Flying Raven Pirate Team was quite powerful, they had not attracted any qi-trainers to join them yet. Naturally, they did not have such a powerful weapon.
The Takeda Clan had actually launched three Fire Dragon Cannons in one go this time. Clearly, they had come prepared!
..
Li Yaqin’s expression changed drastically when she saw this, and the fierce-looking flesh on her face trembled.
“Hurry up! Quickly dodge!”
She shouted loudly and urged her pirates.
However, how could he dodge a distance of five hundred meters?
The reason why they fired at this moment was so that they had nowhere to hide!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The three loud noises caused everyone’s ears to ring.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, three fire dragons roared as they charged towards Su Mu and the others, aiming at the three warships.
The first target was the largest warship under Su Mu’s feet.
To catch a thief, first catch the king.
The Fusang people also understood this principle.
Therefore, the first thing they had to do was destroy their largest ship, Wandering Dragon!
The fire dragon smashed down heavily, causing three more loud bangs.
The deck under Su Mu’s feet shook violently, and at the same time, a wave of heat exploded, making it difficult for anyone to adapt.
Only he did not move, and there was no fear on his face.
The other pirates did not turn pale from fright, but they were also shocked!
..
Under the attack of the Fire Dragon Cannon, a large hole was blasted open in the ship’s hull, and the fire quickly spread.
These flames were not ordinary flames, but spiritual flames!
If he ignored it, he could burn a warship to ashes in a short while!
However, even if he ignored it, the spiritual fire would not be extinguished so easily.
The people on the other two warships were frantically trying to extinguish the fire, but they were unable to put it out for the time being, delaying a large number of people.
Su Mu’s Wandering Dragon was also fighting the fire, and Li Yaqin was personally directing it.
“Quick, quick, quick! Extinguish the fire, don’t stop the water! Hurry up!”
Li Yaqin shouted loudly, her expression somewhat ugly.
For this attack, not only did the Takeda Clan have a large number of people, but they had also prepared a powerful weapon like the Fire Dragon Cannon.
This gave Li Yaqin a bad feeling.
While directing the fire, Li Yaqin glanced at Su Mu and said to Song Dingkang,
“If the war goes south later… Take Xiao Mu and leave first.”
Hearing this, Song Dingkang’s face darkened, but he still lowered his head and promised.
“Yes, sir!”
..
Su Mu looked at the situation calmly.
If it was a day ago, he really wouldn’t have been able to do anything.
A warrior who had just advanced to the Postliminary Realm did not have the ability to influence the battle situation in a naval battle of this scale.
But now, Su Mu had recognized a big brother of a giant demon, and with its help, his strength had soared to the late stage of the Xiantian realm!
Even though it couldn’t block a heavy weapon like the Fire Dragon Cannon, it could still extinguish a fire and win a battle.
After everyone had used the seawater to eliminate half of the power of the spiritual fire, Su Mu decisively made his move.
He made a hand seal, and a stream of cold air gushed out.
At first, it was only as thick as a finger, but it quickly expanded with the wind and turned into a whirlwind in a few breaths.
This cold whirlwind swept out and extinguished all the spiritual fires!
Seeing this, the pirates on the Wandering Dragon couldn’t help but be overjoyed, looking at Su Mu with reverence.
“Brother Mu’s methods are so powerful!”
“In the past, I only knew that Brother Mu was cultivating Qi at the same time as he practiced martial arts. I didn’t expect that he already had such profound Dao attainments!”
“Brother Mu is indeed worthy of being the number one genius of our Flying Raven Pirates.”
“With Brother Mu here, we will definitely defeat those bastards of the Takeda family today! Kill them and feed them to the fish!”
..
Su Mu turned his hand to extinguish the fire, causing the low morale to rise a little.
But this was not enough.
The other two warships were slowed down by the fire and would not be able to join the battle for a while.
The enemy’s three Fire Dragon Cannons had already finished charging and were about to fire again!
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was only 300 meters. The Fire Dragon Cannon could fire at least two more rounds.
In other words, he could shoot a total of nine shots!
The Raven Pirates only had ten warships.
If they waited for the Fire Dragon Cannons to finish firing three rounds and the nine ships were half destroyed, what was the point of fighting?
Thinking of this, Su Mu narrowed his eyes and locked onto a Qi Practitioner beside the three Fire Dragon Cannons.
This person was the controller of the Fire Dragon Cannon.
At this moment, he was preparing to fire the second round of fire.
How could Su Mu let him have his way?
“Bring me the bow!”
Su Mu stretched out his hand and shouted. Immediately, someone handed him a large bow and arrows.
“Myriad Arts as One, Quick!”
Su Mu bit his fingertip and used his blood essence to draw a five-element talisman on the arrow.
Then, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, pouring Stellar Energy into the bow and condensing all his strength into a point on the bowstring!
“Clang!”
In the next moment, the bow hummed, and the arrow with the five-element talisman shot out like a stream of light!
This arrow was the best arrow Su Mu could shoot at the moment.
It was a fusion of all the powers of both martial artists and Qi Practitioners!
Only a dual cultivator could shoot this arrow.
..
The Qi Practitioner from Fu Sang Country was still casting the three Fire Dragon Cannons when a sense of threat suddenly rose in his heart.
Raising his head, he saw a cold light flying towards him like a meteor!
“Protect me, protect me!”
The Qi Practitioner’s expression changed drastically as he shouted.
There were many guards beside him. When they heard this, they immediately raised their shields and blocked in front of him.
However, before he could stand firm, the arrow had already arrived!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
This arrow was condensed with five-colored spiritual light and shattered everything in front of it.
Those guards were easily shot through, along with their shields, and died on the spot!
“Don’t even think about killing me!”
Seeing the killer move coming at him, the Fu Sang Country Qi Practitioner let out a ferocious cry and threw out a paper figurine before casting spells crazily.
As spiritual energy surged, the palm-sized paper figurine suddenly expanded and transformed into an armored warrior, blocking in front of him.
“Ha!”
The armored warrior roared and slashed at the sharp arrow!
“Clang!”
A metallic explosion sounded.
It pierced the eardrums of everyone on the warship, as if they were about to be torn apart!
Both sides were in a stalemate for about half a breath. Then, the five-colored spiritual light at the tip of the arrow condensed, shattering the armored warrior’s saber and piercing his body!
After being defeated, the armored warrior’s spiritual energy dissipated, and he degenerated back into a paper figurine that burned up.
At this moment, Su Mu’s arrow only had ten percent of its power left.
However, the Qi Practitioner had already used up most of his skills, and the few protective magic tools that he had were all destroyed.
By the time it hit his body, the power of the arrow would be comparable to that of a second or third tier martial artist.
However, the Qi Practitioners ‘bodies were fragile, and even with this little bit of power, they could not withstand it.
“Ah!”
A scream of pain could be heard as the arrow pierced through the Fu Sang Qi Practitioner and sent him flying seven to eight meters away before he was nailed to the deck.
The remaining power of the arrow shattered his internal organs, causing black-red blood to continuously flow out of his mouth.
In just a few breaths, the Fu Sang Country Qi Practitioner died.
He didn’t even see the face of the person who killed him before he died.
..
Su Mu’s arrow was extremely powerful, it pierced through dozens of enemies and killed them instantly.
Seeing this scene, the pirates cheered and their morale soared!
On the contrary, the Takeda Clan was shocked and their morale was low.
After the Qi Practitioners died, the weapons that were supposed to be powerful became useless.
Moreover, there was an expert with astonishing strength among the pirates, who could shoot through everything with an arrow!
How could they not be shocked?
The leader of the enemy fleet was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Although he was short, he was very strong, like a stone block.
His expression was gloomy, but he was not afraid.
“Bah! Spending so much money to raise a good-for-nothing! Fortunately, there were other preparations this time.”
Takeda cursed in a low voice. Then, he took out a large conch from his pocket and blew it into his mouth.
“Wuwuwu!”
The conch let out a strange whine that was extremely penetrating.
Su Mu couldn’t help but frown after hearing this.
This voice seemed to be sending out some kind of signal.
Was he asking for help?
However, there were no other warships as far as the eye could see.
Could it be…Reinforcements came from the bottom of the sea?
..
Su Mu’s guess was correct.
After a while, he heard a cry of surprise.
“Not good! The bottom of the ship had been pierced through! There’s something digging a boat in the sea!”
Hearing this, Su Mu immediately looked down at the bottom of the sea.
He used his eyesight and could vaguely see a human-shaped shadow shuttling back and forth at the bottom of the ship.
This made Su Mu think of an intelligent race that lived at the bottom of the sea-the Merman Race!
