After discovering the situation here, Taifurey immediately prepared to use his abilities to avoid the attacks of the sea beasts. However, at this moment, new changes occurred in the sea. Because this giant demon-scented whale was continuously spraying boiling asphalt, once the asphalt fell, it would catch people off guard. If it touched them, their skin would be scalded off.
Therefore, Taifurey could only keep dodging. This was always his home ground. In an instant, he used the troops under his feet to create a defensive fortress. This fortress appeared above the glacier, protecting him within. However, it would not be so easy to move.
"Splash..." The sound of water suddenly echoed from the sea in the canyon, and then a huge figure flew into the sky. This was a giant seal with a body length of 150 meters. After leaping out of the water, it could actually continue to fly upwards. The reason was that there were many water currents behind it providing propulsion. This seal leaped out of the water, its body soaring high into the air. At this moment, the water flow beneath it had reached a critical level, as it was already remarkable to be able to lift such a heavy behemoth into the air.
This black object leaped out of the sea like a dark cloud covering the sea surface. Taifurey, hiding in the ice fortress, sensed something was wrong because he noticed that the aurora above had suddenly disappeared. When he looked up, he discovered that a huge shadow had flown into the sky at some point. Perhaps because he was hiding in the fortress, he couldn't hear the sounds from outside, so he had no idea that abnormal situations had already occurred outside.
"Rumble..." The seal's body was incredibly huge, and it looked round and very cute. However, once this thing became immensely large, the destructive power it caused could not be underestimated. Moreover, looking at the fat beneath it, this fat also possessed a powerful sense of pressure.
This seal descended like Mount Tai, crushing down from above. Under the effect of gravity, it fiercely smashed onto the ice fortress, instantly turning this sturdy fortress into something like paper. It shattered into countless ice blocks on the spot, and Taifurey was crushed beneath it.
"Pfft..." Poor this exceptionally powerful esper, who was thus crushed to death alive. Therefore, the most powerful people in this world are those with immense size. Even their every move brings immense pressure.
Taifurey's head was crushed on the spot, like a rotten watermelon, with blood splattering everywhere. An evolution crystal rolled out of his head and was buried by the ice. If anyone could find this evolution crystal, they would be incredibly lucky.
The seal fell from the sky, its immense weight directly crushing a powerful esper to death. However, this sea beast's life had also come to an end. Because the larger the size, the greater the pressure it had to bear, so giant animals were often found in the sea, where the seawater could support their heavy bodies, preventing them from dying due to the pressure of their own gravity on their internal organs. But now, after this giant seal leaped out of the sea, although its size was immense, it smashed fiercely onto the ice blocks. Its own weight had already caused its bones to break and its internal organs to rupture.
The giant seal let out a mournful cry, and the sperm whale in the sea also let out a cry. Although the meaning of what these two species were saying could not be understood, it was likely a farewell. Immediately after, the seal became still. It had eliminated an enemy of the sea beasts with its life, and it believed that what it did was not wrong.
The sperm whale lingered in the sea for a while, circling a few times. After finding no movement from the seal, it swam towards the distance. Its mission was complete.
The impact of the giant seal falling from the sky was immense. Because of its enormous size, it fell fiercely from the sky, causing a violent tremor. Although it was not as intense as the previous earthquake, when it landed on the glacier on one side of the canyon, it caused a strong vibration. Even people on the other side of the canyon in the distance felt that something was wrong.
"Why is there still shaking at this time? Could it be another earthquake?" someone felt the glacier beneath their feet shake and couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you standing around? Let's hurry up and deal with the things in the sea. Don't let them escape, especially that damned giant octopus. If this giant octopus dies, it will be even more dangerous!"
"That was probably just aftershocks from a major earthquake. There's no need to worry, as the scale won't be any larger than before!"
While fighting, they were responding to each other's questions.
Currently, the sea beasts were still continuously charging towards the gap, preparing to break through from this opening. As long as they could reach the outside world, they could roam freely. Because the seabed was their lair, no matter where they were, they could cope with various crises. If they were always trapped here, their life force would only be consumed by the various toxins in the sea.
Sea beasts were indeed very difficult to deal with in the sea, because as long as they sensed danger, they could dive into the sea. The seawater was their best shield, because even powerful heat could not penetrate the layers of seawater to directly attack animals at the bottom of the sea. Even the damage caused by nuclear bombs might not harm the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the sea.
Water is the best coolant in the world because it is ubiquitous and has a very high specific heat capacity. Even things with very high temperatures will be cooled down in seawater. Thus, underwater volcanic eruptions often do not cause much disaster.
At the same time, seawater is also a buffering substance. Even the lethality of bullets in seawater is greatly reduced. Therefore, the effect of humans attacking sea beasts on land is not very significant, because their attacks, after falling into the seawater, are dispersed by the seawater, and their lethality is drastically reduced.
At the same time, there were also casualties on the human side. As long as someone was careless, they would face sneak attacks from the dark sea.
"Hurry up and fire tracer rounds, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you illuminating the area now? Are you waiting to be ambushed to death?" someone shouted harshly at Tom, who was directing in the distance, feeling that the commander was not doing his job. At this moment, the surroundings should be illuminated, but he was still stunned.
Tom had actually been waiting for reinforcements. As long as Taifurey under his command arrived in time, this gap could be blocked. He just didn't understand why the other party hadn't arrived yet. Could it be that he encountered trouble on the way? Or did he want to consolidate his position and take the opportunity to inflate his own value?
At this moment, he was reminded by the shouts from a distance, and he immediately understood that the most important thing now was to illuminate the entire battlefield. It was already autumn, and in a while, this place would enter polar night, meaning that the entire Arctic Circle would be in darkness, with no light visible. Although there would still be a few hours of daylight each day, once night fell, it would take more than ten hours of darkness to get through.
In this situation, it was necessary to use certain means to illuminate the entire battlefield so that he could exert his stronger abilities.
So, he immediately issued an order to the debaters under him to find tracer rounds from the supplies they carried and fire them into the sky for illumination.
Countless tracer rounds flew up from the ground, emitting a large amount of light in the sky, thus illuminating the entire sea surface. Many sea beasts were caught off guard. Although these tracer rounds were very short-lived and could not provide long-term illumination, it was enough. What people lacked the most was light. With light, they could at least resist the attacks from the sea.
People were fighting desperately. Fortunately, these giant overlords in the sea had their strength weakened by the toxins in the sea. Although they were very powerful, they could not exert their full strength at this moment, and their vitality had also decreased. Thus, people could contend with these sea beasts. Otherwise, any single sea beast could be considered a seventh-order esper. Such immense power would make many people despair.
"Why haven't people arrived yet? Was he eaten by Uncle Hai? What's going on!" Tom had been waiting for half an hour and still hadn't received Taifurey's arrival, so he couldn't help it anymore.
Then he dispatched someone to search towards the other end of the canyon. If he encountered trouble, he would help him solve it and then return together.
As this person ran towards the other end of the canyon, he discovered an unexpected situation. He found a giant seal lying on the glacier. This seal was very large and must have emerged from the sea. He just couldn't understand how it managed to climb onto the glacier hundreds of meters high. On the other side of the glacier, beneath the seal's body, there were many broken ice pieces, and a fortress could vaguely be seen, although it was already shattered.
"This is bad, Taifurey has been killed by the sea beast! We have no hope!" This person, after discovering that the seal and Taifurey had perished together, immediately returned to Tom and told him the truth.
"Have you told anyone about this? Tell me quickly!" Tom asked urgently.
"As soon as I discovered this situation, I ran back immediately. I haven't told anyone about this!" the messenger replied quickly.
"Since you haven't revealed this, then don't say anything. I will try my best to stabilize these espers and make them hold on!" A trace of viciousness flashed in Tom's eyes. It seemed he was planning to keep this matter a secret.
"But so many people are fighting desperately. If this matter is not told to them, it seems unfair!" this person said.
"If the truth is told, and they know that the reinforcements are gone, they will definitely collapse immediately, and our plan will be even more disastrous. Besides, we are consuming other people's lives anyway, what does it have to do with us? Let them fight to the death! As long as we achieve victory in the end, we can compensate them later!" Tom said with a cold smile.
And the people under him understood this principle, so they nodded in agreement, promising not to reveal any information.
After learning of Taifurey's death, although Tom quickly calmed down, he still had to find a way to remedy the situation. Without a remedy, his side would be breached.
He thought carefully and suddenly remembered that he still had a trump card on his ship that had not been used. However, later, in the electronic factory brought by the octopus, the power rooms of these ships exploded one after another and sank into the water. Therefore, his trump card had only sunk into the sea but was not damaged.
So, he found Aku Si at that time and said, "I heard that your ability is to control water currents. You must be like a fish in water in the sea. I have a task for you. Whether we can hold the line now depends on you!"
Aku Si didn't understand what the task was, so he asked, "What is this task? If it's not dangerous, I will do it!"
"This task is absolutely not dangerous. As long as you do it, it will be enough. You just need to find my previous ship, enter my room, and there is a huge box inside. I have a key here. You just need to open this box. It contains highly toxic substances, so hurry back! As long as you create a toxic sea area in the sea outside, we can last longer!" Tom said seriously.
After hearing this task, Aku Si immediately agreed because he knew that it was just opening a box, what could be so difficult? So he took the key and leaped into the sea outside. He also had diving equipment on him. Because these gas masks were attached to the skin, he could breathe freely in the sea. So finding the ship and opening the box was a piece of cake.
Immediately, he found a ship of North America, walked in, and found the huge box. This box was very heavy, with many iron sheets sealing the outer layer, and a large amount of graphite and lead inside. Unless a key was used, it was impossible to open this box.
"I almost forgot to ask him, what kind of substance is in this box that requires me to open it personally? Why didn't he bring it with him before?" Aku Si's mind was filled with questions.
And now that he had arrived near this box, if he didn't complete the task, it would have been in vain. So, after a moment of hesitation, he took out the key and opened the box in front of him.
As soon as he opened the box, light quickly emerged from it, opening the lid completely. Inside this box were several strangely shaped objects that seemed to be similar to pills.
However, just as Aku Si was about to leave, he discovered something. He found that his arm was rotting. Although it was not clearly visible under the diving equipment, he could clearly feel that the sensation in his body was disappearing.
"You bastard, Tom, you're plotting against me! What is this substance, why is it so toxic?" Aku Si shouted in anger, because he found that the sensation in his body was decreasing.
Unfortunately, his questions could no longer be answered, because his eyes had already begun to rot, and his vision disappeared instantly. Finally, his entire brain was destroyed, and he thus died in the ship's cabin, his body slowly decomposing.
In the hour that followed the battle, more than a dozen sea beasts had escaped from the gap. After escaping, these sea beasts continuously collided with nearby icebergs in the outer sea, trying to widen the gap and allow their companions inside to escape.
At this moment, the sea beasts suddenly appeared. The escaped sea beasts instantly surfaced, their bodies turning belly up.
"It seems Aku Si has completed the mission. This polonium element is the most toxic substance in the world. A piece the size of an aspirin can kill hundreds of millions of people. It seems that the Arctic Ocean region will be a dead sea for a while!" Tom thought silently.
Afterward, he did not forget to remind people, "There are highly toxic substances in the outer sea. Do not fall into the sea, otherwise, your bodies will be rapidly destroyed!"
