Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Water Pressure Wall, Ineffective Attacks (Part 3)
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The three ship cannons fired furiously as if money were no object, continuously bombarding the Extraordinary lifeforms below.
The shells landed on the water surface and exploded constantly, but they didn’t harm the shark in the slightest!
The shark’s speed was extreme, so much so that the impact point of the cannon shells couldn’t catch up to the shark.
"Ma, simulate and predict!"
Data flashed within Luo Kuan’s Alchemy义眼, transmitting vast amounts of data through it to Ma’s Brain Domain Sharing, allowing Ma to continuously simulate the situation ahead.
After a while, Ma smacked his head in dismay and said, "Damn it, the CPU burned out. I’ve calculated that the cannon shells can’t possibly hit the shark given their velocity."
"What are you saying?"
Luo Kuan was stupefied.
"The shell’s flying speed is less than half of the shark’s swimming speed at the seabed. From the moment they are fired, no matter how they are predicted, the shark has enough reaction time to dodge the attack."
Ma sighed, speaking helplessly.
"Well..." Luo Kuan was helpless and whispered on the public channel, "Captain, we need cannon enchantments; only the electromagnetic cannon can hit the shark."
"Understood, wait until the ship is at level 15; we cannot perform the second enchantment yet."
Luo Kuan’s words were mercilessly rebutted by Fang Yu, who stared at the sea surface in front of him. The data from Luo Kuan’s eyes and Ma’s simulations were also shared in his mind.
This allowed him to vaguely predict the shark’s swimming trends.
Then, a gleam flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.
"Bang!"
With one shot.
The Stacked Energy Bullet with an immense force shot out of the sniper rifle, embodying a terrible killing intent, heading swiftly toward the shark in the water.
The bullet, carrying a sense of death, waited ahead like a grim reaper in the shark’s path.
Cannon shells had slow flying speeds and were hard to hit fast-moving sharks.
But sniper rifle bullets weren’t slow!
With the sniper rifle’s power, the bullet instantly broke through the water, flying swiftly to the shark’s front.
The crew’s eyes lit up; the seasoned sailors knew just how terrifying Fang Yu’s bullets were.
One bullet had once annihilated a ship cannon’s frightening Extraordinary ability; killing an Extraordinary lifeform wasn’t...
"Huh?!"
At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim as their gazes aimed steadily at the seabed ahead.
The shark moved, causing the surrounding water to compress at its sides as if it had life.
Data from Luo Kuan’s Alchemy义眼 showed the sea pressure around the shark increased rapidly, forming a seawall of pressure.
The bullet hit the pressure wall, encountering enormous resistance, and the Extraordinary force covering the Stacked Energy Bullet was absorbed by the surrounding water, leaving only a bullet without kinetic energy to fall onto the shark.
Not a single scale of the shark was shot off.
"Extraordinary Ability!"
Luu Yuan and another water-element Transcendent felt something and quickly spoke to Fang Yu through Brain Domain Sharing, "Captain, this shark’s Extraordinary Ability is likely to control water pressure, forming resistance."
"Normally, the ability isn’t so strong, but with today’s extreme weather, the surrounding energy has become extremely volatile, enhancing the shark’s ability."
Upon hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu took a deep breath, raised his sniper rifle, ready to fire again.
The first shot of the Stacked Energy Bullet is the weakest, with each subsequent shot increasingly powerful.
If he could stack up to 10 bullets, he might have a chance to shatter the pressure wall and attack the shark.
But clearly...
The shark wasn’t planning to give Fang Yu the time to stack bullet energy levels, charging continuously toward the Salted Fish ship.
With each impact, the shark not only used its body but also condensed a wall of water pressure that hit the Salted Fish ship.
"Boom!"
A sound came from below, the energy shield wobbled and shook as its durability dropped rapidly.
Fang Yu was forced to tear open another repair scroll to patch the energy shield.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two more muffled sounds came, and everyone was tossed about, unable to stand steady. Had their bodies not been strengthened, far surpassing ordinary people, these two impacts might have caused seasickness and vomiting.
Fang Yu calmly tore open another repair scroll.
Remaining scrolls: 7!
"Captain!!"
Luu Yuan and another water-element Transcendent saw Fang Yu tore open another repair scroll, their eyes flashed a decisive spark.
Realizing the situation couldn’t go on like this, they shouted to Fang Yu, "Captain, let us go down, our underwater combat suits can resist the shark’s pressure; if it comes again, we’ll figure out how to use our Extraordinary abilities to dismantle the pressure wall."
"With Ma’s Brain Domain Sharing, there’s no need to worry about coordination mistakes; we can create a one-hit kill opportunity!"
Luu Yuan, the honest and upright crew member, displayed determination as he seriously spoke to Fang Yu.
"No way!"
Fang Yu glanced at Luu Yuan, refusing his proposal without hesitation.
If Luu Yuan and the other water-element Transcendent crew member were in peak condition, Fang Yu might consider the proposal.
However, both had spent four hours resisting the surging waves around the Salted Fish.
They hadn’t reached a state of exhaustion purely due to everyone’s energy potion.
Nonetheless, regardless of potions, their condition had become quite poor.
Fang Yu could sense their Extraordinary abilities declining.
Even if what Luu Yuan said was true, and they forcibly used their Extraordinary abilities to dismantle the shark’s pressure wall, the exhausted Luu Yuan and his comrade couldn’t withstand the shark’s strike.
Even a casual hit leveraging an Extraordinary creature’s bodily ability could smash them apart.
These guys had prepared to risk their lives, but Fang Yu didn’t want his crew to sacrifice themselves for an opportunity.
"Captain!" Luu Yuan’s anxious voice echoed in Brain Domain Sharing.
However, Fang Yu only shook his head, outright ignoring Luu Yuan’s request.
His gaze was steadfast on the shark ahead, with his hand on the sniper rifle continuing attacks—despite them not being effective for the moment.
"Rip!!"
Another repair scroll was torn open.
Remaining scrolls: 6!
At this moment, Fang Yu instead felt calm, sensing his mind enter a peculiar state.
"A true top marksman must learn to step back from the situation, not let immediate pressure and enemies cloud your judgment."
"Only with calmness can your thoughts guide you in the right direction."
"Timing is crucial. If timing isn’t right, there’s no rush to shoot,"
"Try to utilize all favorable factors around you to create a shooting opportunity, wait... wait for the moment when the prey reveals its flaw!"
The instructor’s words resonated again in Fang Yu’s mind.
Fang Yu unconsciously looked at the distant island.
Through Wang Qing’s far-sight ability, he saw someone cradling a pet.
Pet...
A gleam of insight flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.
He might know what to do now!
