High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 65: Escape from the Water, Battle with Hot Weapons

Upon hearing the report over the communicator that various merfolk were heading towards the location, Bai Yu's heart tightened.

The fishman's reaction speed is incredibly fast!?

This has only just taken shape!

I wonder what abilities this merman priest possesses.

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Bai Yu quickly left the cave.

But to everyone's surprise, a black figure was rapidly approaching from the west.

Murloc! High-level Murloc!

This guy actually found a loophole in the surveillance system's defenses so quickly.

The fish-men's combat power in the water is definitely several times stronger, so Bai Yu and the others naturally couldn't linger in the fight. They immediately used their thrusters to escape to the southeast, where there were no monsters for the time being, while constantly observing other directions.

However, the fish-man swam extremely fast in the water, and it seemed to have taken something out of its hand.

The next moment, several rapids rushed towards the group.

Qin Wanqing immediately took action, creating three barriers to block the attack.

The shockwaves from the battle shook the lake and stirred up the mud at the bottom, temporarily obscuring visibility.

Li Yunbin pointed behind him with one hand, and with a "whoosh," his longsword dragged along the turbulent water as he swiftly charged forward, but he couldn't see the battle unfold.

After launching the attack, he quickly ordered, "Surface immediately! Swim southeast; there's a small river in that area."

"clear!"

Before the group had gone far, the high-ranking merman quickly caught up from behind.

As you can see, there is a gash on his shoulder, with blood mingling with the lake water.

Before everyone could launch an attack, they saw seven or eight more figures coming from the north!

If it were on land, the natural course of action would be to take direct action.

But at this moment, the number of enemies is unknown, so it's really not a good time to get entangled.

Seeing the enemy rapidly approaching, Li Yunbin threw out a talisman, which instantly transformed into four invisible swords that swiftly attacked the group of fishmen.

At the same time, a loud "boom" was heard.

A submarine sped towards the group of fishmen and exploded violently.

The turbulent lake water instantly shattered the internal organs of several fishmen.

Sold out instantly!

Even the high-level merfolk, who were more than 20 meters away, were blasted away.

This is the terrifying power of a bomb exploding in water!

The four longswords released by the talisman quickly slashed and killed the group of wounded fishmen in an instant.

As a result, more than a dozen dark figures appeared in the distance.

The fishmen are gathering faster than expected!

Li Yunbin issued the order: "Demolition team, stop these fishmen from pursuing us with all your might!"

Then he looked at Bai Yu and the others: "Let's go!"

The group didn't hesitate, but the fish-men were extremely fast and frantic in the water, charging forward recklessly.

"Boom~ Boom~"

One after another, the submarines exploded violently, creating numerous vacuum bubbles underwater. The terrifying shockwaves severely damaged a large number of fishmen, temporarily halting the enemy's offensive.

South of Yunhu Lake.

Around 11 o'clock, they cleared the area and set up a cordon far away.

However, there weren't enough people to completely seal off the Qingyun River and the north bank of Yunhu Lake, so most of the fishmen infiltrated from these two directions.

At that moment, the rain was pouring down, but everyone paid no attention to the downpour, focusing intently on the monitoring panel of the submersible and operating it with great tension.

Team leader Wei Yunfei was shocked to see so many fishmen appear on the screen.

"We've been thoroughly purging the murlocs lately, how come there are still so many!?"

"What kind of treasure could possibly warrant such a massive attack from the merfolk?"

There were at least sixty or seventy shadowy figures in the image. And there were at least six high-level murlocs!

This was all gathered within ten or twenty minutes.

Suddenly, a gigantic creature flashed across the screen at an astonishing speed.

The testing instrument next to it started to fluctuate.

Upon seeing the information, Wei Yunfei exclaimed excitedly, "Captain! There's a creature at the Spirit Origin Realm, with an energy level of 16-18. It's about 7-8 meters long and its swimming style is somewhat like a crocodile."

"Okay, I understand. Take those tools and head to the river southeast of Cloud Lake to provide backup."

"clear!"

After turning off the communications, Wei Yunfei immediately said, "Fifth Squad, stay behind. The rest of the combat personnel, follow me to the river southeast of Yunhu Lake!"

Southeast of Yunhu Lake.

Zhao Bin was the first to surface. He looked around at the lake and found that it was a pale red color!

Upon seeing this, he was startled and asked over the channel, "Is anyone injured?"

Bai Yu: "I didn't."

"No""."

All five people reported the information and surfaced one after another. They also saw the pale red color here and were all a little puzzled.

Whose blood is it? Or is there an ambush?

Liu Feifei noticed something and exclaimed, "Look at that ten-meter cliff over there! There's a drainpipe, and it looks like the water is flowing out from there!"

After understanding the reason, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of sewage discharge during rainy days is absolutely despicable! And the red color could even indicate a murder. But the situation is urgent right now, and there's no time to investigate further.

They heard a commotion behind them and saw a monster with sword dragon plates on its back rushing towards them.

Li Yunbin threw out three talismans, which instantly generated a strong wind that swept everyone up and flew them towards the top of the cliff on the shore.

"Splash~"

The crocodile-shaped monster, about 8 meters long, leaped up and burst out of the lake, its armor plates emitting a blue-purple light, as if gathering energy.

Bai Yu was stunned by what he saw.

It actually looks like half of Godzilla!

What the hell!

Is the world really that crazy?

Just as he was thinking of quickly taking out the Thunder Scepter carried on the back of his diving suit to stop the monster.

"Whoosh~"

A fiery tail streaked through the air.

It was a rocket!

A loud "BOOM!"

Before the giant could even unleash its attack, it was struck, instantly unleashing a massive fireball. The powerful blast wave spread through the air and created huge ripples on the lake below.

Bright red blood spilled onto the lake surface.

The giant was severely injured and fell into the water.

Taking advantage of the gap, Bai Yu and the others landed on the edge of the cliff and quickly removed their diving equipment without any delay.

"Phew~"

After unloading his equipment, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the lake again, he saw countless dark figures appearing and quickly climbing ashore, where a fierce battle broke out.

Meanwhile, the combat members of Team Seven took out rockets, grenades, and other firearms from the vehicle and began to blast the group of fish monsters.

In a very short time, a large number of fish monster corpses floated to the surface of the water.

Bai Yu: "Holy crap! That's awesome! Give me a few too!"

After saying that, Bai Yu took a box of hand grenades and started throwing them wildly.

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~"

The overwhelming firepower kept the enemy pinned down.

After being hit by the rocket, the giant creature submerged into the water and has not been seen since.

Bai Yu knew that the fishmen would continue to send troops here for the Dragon Pearl.

Perhaps even a priest would show himself!

Thinking about this, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Even if the priest doesn't intervene this time, the commotion caused by their seven groups has definitely alerted the merfolk, and there's likely to be a lot of trouble to come.

Finding it difficult to think of a solution, Bai Yu could only instinctively ask, "Captain, the priest might intervene. What should we do next?"

Li Yunbin smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry! I have my own plans."

Although Bai Yu felt that the captain might not be able to deal with the priest, this smile did make Bai Yu feel much more relaxed!

The battle is in full swing.

A barrage of firearms rained down on the mermen.

Both the Body Refinement Realm and the ordinary Qi Gathering Realm are unable to withstand firearms.

As for the Spirit Origin Realm cultivators among the fish-men, they are still hidden in the water!

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Three more rockets were fired in quick succession, exploding directly in the water.

The high-pressure shockwave instantly tore apart the surrounding fishmen, leaving limbs and fragments scattered amidst splashing water.

The blood-red water was torn apart by the shockwave of the explosion, forming huge whirlpools.

But just as the battle was raging...

"Splash~"

A humanoid figure burst out of the water—a female merman! Her human face was clearly visible.

She held a scepter in her hand, and a waterspout appeared on the lake behind her. She pointed at Bai Yu and the others, and the waterspout instantly attacked.

And while everyone's attention was focused on him, eight figures suddenly emerged from below the cliff, all of them high-level merfolk!

A high-ranking merman, whose arm fins were incredibly sharp, comparable to blades.

A flash of silver light appeared, striking a man wielding a rocket launcher; this man was a member of the second team.

Wei Yunfei exclaimed in alarm, "Watch out!"

A purple light barrier instantly rose up, blocking the attack, but some cracks appeared in it.

It was naturally Qin Wanqing who made the move.

Bai Yu wasn't going to sit idly by either; he wanted to test his own strength, and his Thunder Staff crackled with lightning.

As if in response, the sky sent down a bright white bolt of lightning that quickly entered the scepter.

"Palm Thunder!"

Guided by his own spiritual power, a gigantic thunderous palm slammed down on the group of high-level merfolk.

"Boom!"

With a single strike, many of the fishmen were charred black.

The high-ranking merman was hit by a full-scale lightning strike, his upper body charred black, and he fell into the water, his eyes filled with malice.

Bai Yu's attack stunned the other team members.

Isn't this a new member? How come he's so amazing!

But this is a battle, and they can't afford to be stunned!

On a rainy day, Bai Yu seemed to be divinely aided, with lightning surging around him and bolts of heavenly thunder falling down.

Using the immense power of thunder as a weapon, he charged towards the school of fish.

"May the Thunder God help me!"

"Boom!"

Several bright white bolts of lightning struck, forming an electric grid on the lake's surface.

Although its individual power is not strong, its range is wide and its energy is enormous, causing many fishmen to suffer severe damage.

Upon seeing Bai Yu, the merman priest instantly unleashed dozens of water arrows and charged straight at him.

Bai Yu remained completely calm.

Wanqing's barrier was generated the next moment.

"Splash~"

All attacks were blocked.

Bai Yu made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the lightning spear technique on the second page of the book quickly took shape.

With a flash of purple light, it hurtled towards the school of fish below.

The lightning spear acted like a lightning rod, instantly guiding more than ten bolts of lightning to fall.

"Boom!"

The thunder continued for a long time.

A massive thunderbolt raged across the lake, killing many fishmen instantly.

Bai Yu also felt a slight numbness in his body and slightly reduced his strength. He was still quite worried about being targeted by the murlocs, especially the possible murloc priests.

"Meow meow meow, this isn't my territory. I'd better behave myself for now."

Li Yunbin, who was standing nearby, clearly noticed this as well and immediately ordered, "Open fire!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Boom!"

Countless firearms unleashed terrifying power.

Seeing this, Bai Yu also took the opportunity to withdraw his strength and obediently disappeared into the crowd.

After a volley of fire briefly repelled the first wave of attacks from the merfolk, everyone thought there would be a respite.

But then there was movement on the water. The scepter in the female merman's hand emitted a ghostly light, and huge waves, as high as twenty meters, rose up on the lake!

And one can vaguely see that many fishmen are hiding in the giant waves.

When everyone saw the giant wave coming, they felt like they were watching an apocalyptic disaster movie.

But at that moment, a cold snort came from the air.

"snort!"
