Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions simultaneously.

"Go ashore?!"

Having been stationed here for so many years, they know the details of that big fish in the sea better than anyone.

Sequence 18, [Natural Disaster] Path, [Sea of ​​Calamity].

Although it is only at the seventh rank, it is clearly not in the same league as other calamities of the same rank, and some even at the eighth rank are no match for it.

When humans first ventured eastward into the core area, they encountered these giants of the sea.

Therefore, in the sequence list, the earlier items in the [natural disaster] path are more or less related to "water".

These marine calamities generally possess extraordinary growth potential, and the earlier they appear in the sequence, the more terrifying their size becomes.

In terms of sheer size, terrestrial calamities are simply incomparable.

Therefore, it is not without reason that the "natural disaster" path is widely recognized as having the widest range of destruction and the strongest destructive power.

This thing briefly surfaced once three years ago.

With a single fishtail strike, it destroyed the breakwater near the coast.

If it weren't for the timely rescue, a large part of Base City 7 would probably have been submerged.

It took several high-level experts working together to force it back into the deep sea.

As for why they didn't just kill him directly...

Another troublesome aspect of this thing is that it possesses a deathrattle skill called "Blood Tide".

Simply put, it will self-destruct after it dies.

Although it has little destructive power, it can benefit all marine calamities within its range, greatly enhancing their overall strength and advancement speed.

If you're unlucky, it's not impossible to catalyze out several sixth-order or even seventh-order creatures.

Moreover, the effects of the explosion will spread with the water flow, making it very troublesome.

No one questioned Li Jun's judgment.

His ability is Sequence 33 [Skyfire]. Although it is not advantageous in naval battles most of the time, his seventh-tier strength is enough to make up for it.

Moreover, command is his duty, and he will not take action unless necessary.

After all... when facing the calamities of the [Natural Disaster] path, it is necessary to have high-level [Elemental] Awakeners in charge.

Even if they cannot control the element of water, their perception of the flow of the element is something that no instrument can replace.

Moreover, the fact that electronic devices are unusable in the fog makes this even more important.

Li Jun was well aware of the full power of [Calamity Sea], as it was one of the few calamities capable of controlling both elements.

Actually, this statement is not accurate either.

It seems that Heaven has placed a shackle on both humanity and calamities.

Apart from [All Things] and [Doomsday], other Awakened Ones or Calamities on the same path can only use one element at a time.

Those who merely store power don't count; their use of elements is hardly respectable.

【Calamity Sea】If you want to go ashore, you must spend time transforming your form and changing your water attribute to wind attribute.

But for a calamity like it, twisting bones and flesh and forcibly altering the form of life is also an extremely painful process.

But now, the "wind" has begun to gather.

It was not a beast that acted solely on instinct; it knew that the power of the humans stationed here was not to be underestimated, and that they would refrain from killing it out of consideration for the "Blood Tide."

However, once out of the water, this skill is basically useless.

What exactly is it that makes it willing to endure the pain of transformation and the risk of perishing just to "come ashore"?

Li Jun raised his head and looked into the distant mist.

"All naval fortresses, charge main guns, prepare depth charges."

"If the [Calamity Sea] begins to rise, do not wait for the order to fire. Judge the best time to intercept it and do everything possible to delay its actions."

After the transformation is complete, this "fish" is no longer a fish.

The longer it stays in the water, the worse it is for it.

He then picked up his dedicated communicator and connected to a channel.

If it really insists on leaving the sea this time, it might be a good opportunity to eliminate it.

……

"Well……"

In the hotel, Jiang Mian stretched.

I took a quick nap and feel much better now.

She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost one o'clock.

I straightened my slightly disheveled clothes, got out of bed, and tied my hair up.

Although she prefers to wear her hair down and doesn't like the feeling of being restricted, the weather here is a bit hot and humid, so it's more refreshing to tie it up, and she also needs to change into lighter clothes.

I drew back the curtains; it was pouring rain outside.

The hotel's decor is quite nice, and the rooms are bright, but the price is expensive.

Jiang Mian originally wanted to pay for it herself, but Ye Chenyang paid for it first and even tricked her into thinking she could get reimbursed from her superiors.

At the time, her mind was foggy, and after hesitating for a while, she decided to pretend to be stupid.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Now that we're here, we should familiarize ourselves with the terrain and situation first. Isn't there a ready-made guide here?

She knocked on the door of the next room, but there was no response for a long time, so she secretly extended a wisp of her senses into the room.

Nobody here?

Jiang Mian turned her head and saw Ye Chenyang walking from the corner of the corridor, carrying a rather large black box on his back, followed by a food delivery waiter.

"woke up?"

He looked her over and, seeing that her complexion had recovered well, opened the door and said:

"Are you starving? It's time to eat something."

Jiang Mian followed him into the room.

The food cart served seafood porridge and a few snacks, which looked rather plain.

The existence of such a thing can only mean that the material conditions in the industry have indeed improved a lot, and there are even suitable sea areas for normal aquaculture.

In a foggy environment, these things would probably look quite different.

She took a few bites, and the taste was indeed quite good.

Ye Chenyang unloaded the black box and placed it aside. Then he took out a brand-new cell phone from his pocket and handed it to her.

"?"

"The system and signal base stations in the core area are different. Old phones don't have a signal here, so we bought you a new one."

Jiang Mian took the phone and tapped it lightly with her fingertips. Everything was ready except for the password; everything she needed was there.

So thoughtful?

"How much is it?"

"Not much, a normal configuration would cost around a few thousand."

Jiang Mian wasn't fooled. She first checked the model and then searched for it on a shopping app.

"You can't reimburse this too, can you? I'll transfer the money to you later!"

My old phone has lost signal and can't connect to the internet, but the SIM card is still working.

The cash in the bag was for another purpose.

"……good."

Seeing her serious expression, Ye Chenyang felt inexplicably guilty.

After all, he also bought some more expensive ones...

After finishing the porridge in front of him, Jiang Mian looked at the black box placed to the side.

"Brother Ye, what's in that box?"

"arms."

"Um?"

She remembered that Ye Chenyang had previously disguised himself as [Radiant Blade], whose basic skill was to condense weapons, and the strength of those weapons was not low, so the requirement for physical weapons should not be high.

So this is...

"For you."

As he spoke, Ye Chenyang stepped forward and opened the box.

Jiang Mian looked inside, and the first thing he saw was a long, thick, black...

barrel.

Hmm? An upgraded version of the "Cannon"?
