Chapter 504: Cao Cao’s Talent Ability

Sizzle! Sizzle…

Transcendent soldiers were indeed remarkable. The seawater on the west was soon turned into metal and stopped moving.

Not only the seawater but some smaller sea monsters that had been staying in the sea were also covered by the silver light and turned into metal.

They looked like vivid sculptures on a dam and were rather artistic-looking.

However, during the experiments carried by the technology department, they found that living creatures were particularly resilient to “metalization”.

Because of that, medium and large sea monsters still launched attacks at Dragon City.

A purple octopus with hundreds of tentacles that were over ten meters long crawled over the metal dam. The tentacles then elongated, wrapped around a Silver Dragon Guard, and tried to pull him into the sea.

However, as the second most important location of Dragon City, the technology center wasn’t guarded by the Silver Dragon Guards only.

Boom!

Silver light flashed, and the octopus fell back into the sea.

There was a burnt hole on its round head, and it had lost over a dozen tentacles.

Sizzle!

A complicated-looking gun barrel in the shape of a gaping silver dragon was recharging. Blue dragon breath flickered in it.

It was one of the Silver Dragon’s Mouth electromagnetic cannons that Dragon City had specifically developed for advanced creatures. Its current power already enabled it to kill an Extraordinary Rank-9 creature from kilometers away. It was safe to conclude that no Extraordinary being would be able to withstand it.

Moreover, over a dozen such cannons had been set up around the technology center. Without sending the main troop or a lot of Transcendent beings, the mermen wouldn’t be able to breach the defense any time soon.

The only problem was that be it the Silver Dragon Guards or the Silver Dragon’s Mouth, both were reliant on the Silver Liquid pool and had to stay close to it.

It meant that they couldn’t take part in the battle in other directions.

For instance, the east side was also under attack by sea monsters and waves.

Boom…

Under Eagle Peak, Deng Yuanjue waved his Frost Metal Meditation Staff, repelling an Extraordinary Rank-8 sea creature with a tiger’s body and a fishtail.

Pew!

However, an extremely fast Commander-level merman with a slender transparent weapon in one hand and a shield with a sharp edge on the other also left a 30cm cut on Deng Yuanjue’s stomach.

The merman also controlled a three-eyed sea beast with strings. The creature looked like a piranha and was trying to bite off Deng Yuanjue’s legs from below.

“Watch out!”

Luckily, Shi Bao aided Deng Yuanjue in time by throwing out his Cloak Blade with Frigid Iron chains.

The blade smashed the piranha away and saved Deng Yuanjue.

“Phew… These sea creatures are such a handful!”

Deng Yuanjue panted as he put a black mud patch over his chest to quickly fix the wound.

Because most of the advanced combative members of Dragon City had gone to Guobei County, the ones remaining behind were below Extraordinary Rank-5, and some were even Ordinary. Most of them needed to provide energy to the Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array Flag under the instruction of Zhu Wu “the Resourceful Advisor” so that the Feng Shui formation could be enhanced to stop the Flood Dragon in the air and the rising seawater in the north.

Therefore, the defense force around Eagle Peak consisted mostly of the “villains” that surrendered when the settlement made the advancement.

Compared to the technology center in the west, Dragon City was losing its ground on the battlefield in the east side.

The main reason was that, as villains, these heroes that used to work under bosses like Wang Qing and Tian Hu were mostly Excellent or Refined. Even Qiao Daoqing “the Lord of Fiends”, who had become one of the high-level management personnel of the settlement, was only Superior.

Moreover, because of their relatively low popularity, they had no talent skills, or even if they had talent skills, these skills would be very weak types.

Not one of them was able to fight a one-to-one battle against a merman commander.

To make it worse, the merman commanders were accompanied by a great number of sea beasts and sea monsters.

Not long after the battle started, a lot of heroes, including Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, and Wang Yin, were injured.

The sea kept rising and was almost halfway up Eagle Peak, and many soldiers had been dragged into the sea and eaten by the sea creatures.

“Wang Er!

“Damn it!”

An Extraordinary Rank-7 Quasi-commander that used to belong to Wang Qing’s army shouted.

Because a combative member next to him had been dragged into the water by two Elite three-eyed piranhas and was crying for help.

He wanted to save the man but couldn’t because his opponent was a Quasi-commander-level three-eyed monster fish with purple scales. They were of the same level, but the fish was more powerful.

He was only distracted for a split second, yet the fish managed to cut his thigh open. The blood that oozed out soon turned purple and had a stench. He also lost his balance.

The three-eyed monster fish made a noise that sounded like a baby’s crying, and its mouth suddenly became several meters wide. It then bit down at the Quasi-commander’s head.

“Pang Jinyu, you face danger fearlessly and disregard your own safety. You’re a true hero!”

Just when the hero thought he was going to die in the mouth of the monster fish, a majestic voice rang out on Eagle Peak behind him.

Immediately, the quasi-commander jolted, and there was an upsurge of energy. He then made a forcible strike with his saber.

Pew!

The fish monster that was ready to feed on human flesh didn’t have time to react before it was cut into halves, and the cross-section had been burned black.

“Fang Dayan, you have eyes as bright as torches. You’re a true hero!”

The voice spoke again, and another combative member of Dragon City had a surge of new energy before he rose from the Quasi-commander level to the Commander level.

He raised his war hammers and smashed onto a sea monster’s chest. The great force made the monster spit out blood and sink back into the water.

“Deng Yuanjue, you have the temperament of a Bodhisattva but the strength of a warrior… You’re a true hero!”

Deng Yuanjue had been fighting a merman commander that had developed a talent skill. He was losing ground and barely managed to dodge the attacks with his fighting skill.

Hum!

Hearing those words, the light of talent skill suddenly surrounded him.

His Frost Metal Meditation Staff gave off great energy and knocked away the bladed shield the merman used. After that, the thousand-kilogram staff landed on the merman’s head. The impact sank the merman’s head into his chest, and he was instantly killed.

Splash!

Once he was dead, the sea beasts operated by him lost control and started attacking the companions around them, disturbing the mermen’s array.

“Phew… Thank you, Chief Cao, for your help!”

After killing his opponent, Deng Yuanjue turned around and cupped his hands at the person behind him.

Of course, Chief Cao was Cao Cao.

He was standing behind the crowd.

In his hand was a silver sword with seven stars. He wore golden armor, and behind him, a scarlet cape flapped in the blue wind. His great beard and small eyes couldn’t hide his heroic demeanor.

“Wang Yin, you’re great with your spear… a true hero!

“Shi Bao… a great warrior and a true hero!”

Cao Cao pointed with his sword and spoke again.

Energy surged from Shi Bao and Wang Yin as well.

Soon, they both defeated their enemies.

Splash!

However, exactly at this moment, a merman rose out of the sea. His ride was a manta-like creature covered with purple streaks of lightning and dots that looked like eyes.

The energy he gave off alone made the sea surface fluctuate.

Needless to say, he was a Transcendent merman.

Even his mount was probably Transcendent.

Because as soon as it showed up, the other sea beasts made way for it.

After the merman made his majestic entrance, he looked up at the Dragon City heroes on Eagle Peak, who had just had a sudden increase in their combat capabilities.

Splash!

The merman’s fingers moved.

A great number of colorful strings rose out of the water. They formed a giant web that was over 300m long. The web then flew toward the defenders of Dragon City.
