Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 45. (2/2)
After walking along the highway for a few days, a large river suddenly appeared in front of them. The river was more than 200 meters wide. The worst thing was that the highway on the river was broken into several sections as if it had been cut by someone.
Other roads across the river in the distance were in the same situation.
If you want to cross the river, you can only fly over.
Gu Fan stood on the river bank and released her spiritual sense. She found nothing on the land within a hundred meters but densely packed fish monsters lurking underwater. The level of the monster basically corresponds to the size of the body. Gu Fan only observed the area of 100 meters underwater and recognized two A-level sturgeons. The surface of their bodies, more than ten meters long, had been completely scaled, and two rows of sharp teeth were exposed in their mouths.
Ordinary fish monsters swam in the middle and upper layers, and the two A-level sturgeons lurked in deep water.
Gu Fan explained the situation to the team.
Fenghuo: “Strange, have these two sturgeons been guarding the passing superpowers here, or have they smelled the blood on us in advance?”
They have killed many monsters along the way, so they have some blood on them.
Xinghe: “They should have smelled it.”
Meng Lianying: “There should be sturgeons ambushing in places that Fanfan can’t detect. Can they fly out to catch us?”
Xinghe: “Even if sturgeons can jump out of the water, there is a limit to their height. Let’s fly higher.”
After saying that, Xinghe was the first to fly to an altitude of about 200 meters.
Gu Fan and the other four followed, and the five kept the formation surrounding Gu Fan in the middle. They kept the formation flying quickly to the other side.
Just when the five flew to the center of the river, more than a dozen sturgeons suddenly appeared in the river, swimming rapidly. The next moment, countless ice arrows rushed up from the water, covering the entire river surface in front, behind, and around the five people.
The speed of the ice arrows was too fast, and it was impossible to escape horizontally.
The five people flew upwards at the same time. At the same time, Meng Lianying used his supernatural power to condense a metal barrier and pressed it down under the feet of the five people, trying to resist the ice arrows below.
The ice arrows hit the metal barrier, and their speed dropped sharply.
However, before the five people were happy, countless other ice arrows in the air gathered towards the five people from all directions, and their speed was obviously faster than the five people’s flying boots.
“These sturgeons are too skilled in using their supernatural powers, and they can even turn!” Fenghuo cursed while setting fire to try to melt the ice arrows.
Meng Lianying: “It is said that sturgeon monsters are mutated from sturgeons. In the past, humans enjoyed eating sturgeons. With this mutation, sturgeons must hate us. They are confined to the water and can only practice desperately using their supernatural powers to catch people.”
Fenghuo: “Who asked you to popularize science? You should find a way to block it for us!”
Meng Lianying: “Here it comes!”
Before he finished speaking, a piece of metal barrier suddenly began to spread upward from the feet of the five people and finally formed a huge metal ball space. Almost as soon as the metal ball closed, the ice arrows outside hit it with a bang.
Xinghe: “I’m responsible for the outer defense, you control the metal ball to fly to the other side.”
The Xinghe team had already reached a tacit understanding. Meng Lianying concentrated on controlling the flight of the metal ball. At the same time, Xinghe condensed a thick layer of ice on the metal ball’s outer side to weaken the ice arrows’ impact.
Gu Fan was responsible for sensing the distance between everyone and the other side.
Releasing two metal barriers that could resist the attacks of A-level monsters had already consumed some of Meng Lianying’s mental power. This high-altitude movement continued to consume his mental power reserves. Fine sweat condensed on his forehead and face, gradually gathering into beads of sweat as big as beans.
Gu Fan: “It’s still twenty meters away from the shore.”
Meng Lianying signaled with his eyes that he could still hold on.
Gu Fan’s spiritual sense also covered the five people below. Suddenly, a huge ice cone thicker than a metal ball broke into her sea of consciousness!
Gu Fan only had time to remind everyone to be careful. The metal ball and the thick ice layer outside suddenly exploded with a bang, accompanied by a huge collision sound.
Gu Fan saw it most clearly and was the only one of the five who had time to react. When the metal ball exploded, Gu Fan threw out the defensive talisman she had wanted to give Lu Ya: “Fly to the shore!”
Out of tacit understanding and trust in her, Xinghe and the other four simultaneously activated their flying boots, gave up all resistance, and flew to the other side at the fastest speed.
Twenty meters can be crossed quickly, but in the joint encirclement of more than a dozen A-level sturgeons, this little time must be fought for with one’s life.
Under the urging of the owner, a small piece of talisman paper turned into an invisible barrier, which was released outward with Gu Fan and the other four as the center. Wherever it passed, the huge and deadly sharp ice cones and countless ice arrows around were instantly destroyed.
In just a blink of an eye, the second wave of attacks from the sturgeons in the water shot at the five people again.
However, Gu Fan and the other five had crossed the last twenty meters and flew into the building on the shore like an afterimage.
A series of loud rumbling noises and more than a dozen abandoned high-rise buildings collapsed like a dead tree and rotten wood under the final attack of the sturgeons. The ice arrows were blocked by the solid buildings. They fell halfway, leaving only the huge ice cone to continue to penetrate the buildings and chase the five people.
The solid metal barrier wrapped around the green vine ball and the thick ice layer quietly attached to the metal barrier.
The sharp tip of the ice cone pierced the ice layer, the barrier, and the vines little by little. Finally, the huge ice cone stopped close to the ground when the green vine ball hit a building and could no longer move forward.
At this time, Gu Fan and the other five people fell under the ice hammer’s tip. If the ice cone did not stop, the huge cone would crush them into meat paste.
Meng Lianying used his last mental power to control the metal barrier and open a hole.
Xinghe was the first to walk out, and after making sure there was no other danger, he came to help Meng Lianying.
Fenghuo circled around the huge ice cone with lingering fear: “If it weren’t for Fanfan’s move, we would have to feed the fish today.”
Gu Fan was both grateful and distressed.
A talisman saved the lives of five people, which was worth it.
That talisman should be enough to resist the attack of S-level monsters, but it was forced to be used by a group of A-level sturgeons just now, which was a waste.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. The biggest advantage of the monsters was their numbers. There were so many A-level sturgeons in the river. The ice cone they released together was probably no worse than the attack of an S-level monster.
