Chapter 339: Chapter 339
Su Ang and Sheng Qing seemed to be lost in thought, while Qian Qi didn’t notice. After introducing the teammates for this deep sea dungeon to the live stream audience, she was just about to get into the main topic when suddenly a huge wave rose on the distant horizon, the commotion was so big that it was hard for her not to notice.
She turned around and saw the Poisonous Venomous Python and the Bone Worm Beast soaring up from the sea surface, and then swimming rapidly towards them as if fleeing for their lives, with the Bone Worm Beast looking even fatter than the Poisonous Venomous Python.
However, the expressions on both the snake and the bone weren’t very good.
The Bone Worm Beast was "awoo awoo awoo" shouting in panic, wriggling its chubby body and splashing water, while the Poisonous Venomous Python actually shouted out in human language, a sharp and panicked teenage voice that seemed to tear the sky, "Mom—Contractor save me—so many B-level adult sea beasts are chasing us!!!"
"You’re an A-level Beast, what are you afraid of B-level adult sea beasts for?"
"Aaaaaaah— I’m weak!!!" Upon hearing Qian Qi’s question in its mind, the Poisonous Venomous Python sobbed as if it were raining flowers, "I’m only 16 years old! Still just a snake baby—!"
Despite being an A-level Beast, that A represents the evolution level, not the power level. It’s just a newly born beastling, doesn’t even like eating the Poisonous Emperor Lotus, so its actual strength can be imagined. Fınd the newest release on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Encountering a similarly weak B-level beast, it could bully a bit, but coming across two powerful adult B-levels? It had no choice but to run for its life.
As for running into a group of adult B-level beasts? Then it could only go home crying for mom and dad, oh, and now also for its unlucky contractor.
Qian Qi: ..."So you’re this weak and still dare to take my Bone Mother into the sea?"
The Poisonous Venomous Python murmured softly in response: Newborn calves aren’t afraid of tigers, you can’t suppress my adventurous spirit!
What an adventurous spirit.
It seems she can’t contract magical beast cubs next time. Need to avoid them, this is such a big mess they’ll bring back because they aren’t afraid of tigers.
"All hands on alert, turrets prepare!" Upon hearing the disturbance from afar, Gong Qiang quickly picked up the binoculars to observe enemy situation, ordering the entire ship to be on guard and ready for battle. Sheng Qing immediately shook off sleepiness and set up the sniper rifle, Zuo Jing and Han Yali’s expressions also turned serious, entering a battle-ready state.
Qian Qi tiptoed but couldn’t see anything due to the distance and large waves.
"Use this to look, easier to command." Su Ang snatched the binoculars from Gong Qiang and handed them to Qian Qi, only then could she see the situation in the distance, but quickly, she sensed something was wrong.
She turned to look at Su Ang, puzzled, "No, why are you giving them to me to look? I’m not the Commander."
Saying this, she hurriedly returned the binoculars to Gong Qiang, stuffing them into his arms, "You look, Brother Qiang, you keep looking."
Then she said to Su Ang, "You’re the commanding captain, you command."
She’s just a guide, even though she agreed with Su Xingchen to team up for a live broadcast, that’s all. She didn’t want to worry too much, just wanted to be a transparent person giving everyone a live broadcast view.
Su Ang nibbled on a biscuit, casually glancing at her, "Didn’t my father say? You are the commanding captain."
Qian Qi covered her ears, "Guess what? He didn’t say."
"You command." Su Ang insisted.
"I won’t." Qian Qi firmly shook her head.
"Fine, I’m the commanding captain, commanding captain tells you to command." Su Ang said calmly, "Then you have to command."
"I’m the commanding captain, commanding captain tells you to command!" Qian Qi immediately followed up, "You have to command!"
Su Ang raised an eyebrow, "Alright, commanding captain, I’m not listening to commands, so let’s both laze around."
You brat, since when did you get so sly?
"Are you two sick or something!" Gong Qiang was nearly exasperated, berating them, "Just some B-level beasts, like I care about either of you commanding!"
After speaking, he directly picked up the communicator and spoke to the Gong Family Army, "Bypass the Poisonous Emperor Python and Bone Worm Beast, directly fire at the sea beasts behind!"
During the turbulent dungeon period, a lot of satellite data and arms manufacturing data were destroyed, and many high-tech talents even died. But it doesn’t mean the Seven Great Families have no arms reserves, just limited in amount, use them sparingly.
Moreover, the Reform Faction has always been dedicated to finding ways to save humanity, whether it’s researching new arms or making rockets to explore if there are other habitable planets in the universe. The Reform Faction has never given up research.
But over the past century, the Reform Faction almost gave up searching for extraterrestrial civilizations for some reason, astronomical telescopes can no longer observe the Solar System. The entire planet seems to be shrouded in a transparent black cover, stars are visible in the sky, but close observation leaves only thick blackness.
It’s like the entire universe has abandoned this planet, refusing its approach.
But in terms of arms, the Seven Great Families are all secretly paying for research, shell right now, although insufficient to kill B-level sea beasts, it might scare them away.
On the sea, avoiding close combat if possible is best, since there are many supplies and equipment on board. Now is not the time to be frugal with the shells.
Following Gong Qiang’s order, several shells immediately fired towards the sea beast group behind the Poisonous Python, causing huge waves to splash behind it, and the sudden attack indeed startled the sea beasts, making them temporarily halt their chase.
But soon after finding the shells weren’t powerful enough to harm them, these sea beasts immediately resumed chasing the Poisonous Python.
"Tell your contracted beast to run to both sides, split into two groups!" Gong Qiang, when commanding alone, had a clever mind, directly instructing Qian Qi to have the Poisonous Venomous Python and Bone Worm Beast escape in separate directions.
"Shooters advance, long-range attack the sea beasts!" Gong Qiang raised his hand to command, and the A-level shooters of the Gong Family Army immediately stepped forward, either setting up long and short guns or drawing bows to shoot, attacking the sea beasts behind the Poisonous Python and Bone Worm Beast.
Sheng Qing and the other two also stepped forward a few steps, Qian Qi quickly lifted her wrist, aiming the live broadcast camera at the three of them.
Sheng Qing directly set up the long sniper at the sea beasts behind the Bone Worm Beast, wearing black leather gloves, her slender index finger slightly bent as she fired energy bullets with precision, effortlessly killing the sea beasts about to bite onto the Bone Worm Beast.
The blood of the sea beasts spread in the sea, instantly stimulating the Bone Worm Beast’s taste buds. Seeing someone protecting it, it immediately opened its big mouth and devoured the B-level sea beasts along with the blood water, then broke open its tail to expel clean sea water, reducing weight to speed up swimming.
Zuo Jing’s back suddenly condensed into two large, crystal-clear blue-white ice wings. With the ice wings flapping, he flew into the air. Han Yali took the opportunity to put a layer of energy shield on him.
Han Yali’s skill sounds like shielding, but it’s actually coating Zuo Jing with a thin layer of translucent energy armor, which dissolves enemy energy attacks or physical attacks, achieving a defensive effect.
And Zuo Jing, wrapped in translucent energy armor, wielding that magnificent pair of ice wings, glided above the Poisonous Venomous Python on the sea surface, standing behind it as he flew along its escape direction, the layers of ice wing feathers suddenly transformed into countless sharp "weapons," shooting down like a rain shower towards the sea beasts behind the Poisonous Python.
And as the ice wing feathers shot out, the consumed parts of the ice wings were rapidly replenished, providing for subsequent continuous attacks.
Some sea beasts shot ice spike attacks towards Zuo Jing in the air, but those ice spikes only left a faint scratch on the energy armor, not causing Zuo Jing any real harm.
He even still wore his white wired earphones, hands in pockets as he flew in the air, listening to music with an air of casualness and unparalleled elegance.
