Chapter 115: Electric Sharks and Gun Lobsters
The dragonman youngster was surrounded by at least twenty electric sharks.
As long as an electric shark grew to adulthood, they would become a magic beast.
The strongest electric shark leader was a silver level, the youngster’s equal.
Strands of lightning appeared across the electric sharks’ bodies, and quickly, electric currents condensed into sharp fishbones similar to javelins.
The dragonman youngster found himself in the firing zone but showed no sign of dodging them.
Racial magic – Dragon Prestige.
Dragon Prestige only had a cast time of one second, allowing the racial magic to show its true worth in real combat!
A moment later, a formless undulation engulfed everything, and the electric sharks that bore the brunt of it were broken and scattered by the shockwave.
Of the formerly coherent electric sharks, the vast majority of them became slack, with only a few barely able to shoot.
The electric spears shot out were also very inaccurate, and the dragonman youngster didn’t need to move at all to perfectly avoid them all.
The dragon roar continued to spread through the seawater and even reached the ships.
The mercenaries on the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ships all felt panic from the bottom of their hearts, and their legs went soft, causing them to kneel on the spot.
The dragonman youngster had dove to the seafloor and was some distance below the ships.
Within the dragon roar’s attack range, it did not distinguish between friend or foe, this was why the dragonman youngster seldom used this battle skill when teams were in combat.
Taking advantage of the swaying electric sharks, the dragonman youngster swung his dragon tail and straightened his back.
With four spurting smoke ring mounds transformed into his back, he used the Surge battle skill to push himself.
The spurting smoke ring mounds produced dense smoke, and within the thick smoke, silver battle qi created micro explosions that formed a brilliant sliver blaze.
Every explosion could produce a strong driving force that sharply accelerated the dragonman youngster little by little.
The dragonman youngster rushed out of the electric shark encirclement, smashing through another electric shark in the process.
He barely managed to turn around and sprint back.
In the seawater, he looked like a young knight urging an exceptional warhorse into a charge towards a large group of enemies.
With every charge, he took away the life of another enemy.
But his charge speed was too fast, causing him to appear somewhat clumsy.
Although the electric sharks were ocean magic beasts, they were unexpectedly far slower than the dragonman youngster.
But they had found a way to respond, using their other innate racial magic – Electric Net Shell.
An electric current constantly flowed across their bodies, forming meshes of varying size of blue electric webs on them.
This electric netting combined attack and defense, it could affect the surrounding seawater and paralyze enemies. At the same time, it could also raise their defenses.
The dragonman youngster was pleasantly surprised again and again.
The electric nets restricting his speed, on the contrary, allowed him to more easily familiarize himself with his charge speed.
Using the electric sharks to temper himself was a great gain from actual combat.
He quickly decreased the amount of spurting smoke ring mounds from 4 to 2.
Although his speed dropped by half, his control went from barely to his pinnacle.
At the same time, he combined the Demolition Fist battle skill and a spurting smoke ring mound on his elbow together to an astonishing effect!
Every time a fist hit something, it would strike with the sound of thunder and pulverize the unlucky electric shark.
Every fist could explode an electric shark to bits.
This pinnacle feeling of violence caused the dragonman youngster’s smile to appear malevolent, and his heart felt quite refreshed at the sight.
The silver level electric shark leaders were also smashed to death by the dragonman youngster’s fist.
When the leader died, the shark group crumbled, and the few sharks left fled in all directions.
The dragonman youngster chased after them relentlessly.
With his astonishing speed, he caught up and killed one shark after the other.
Even though he endured many Lightning Spears, it didn’t matter.
He had dragon scales and dragon flesh; offense and defense were an integrated whole. They had already been tested in the Snake Rat naval battle, they could withstand Rou Zang’s gold level battle skills, these racial magics were nothing.
Cleaning up the battlefield was a bit troublesome.
Hitting with Demolition Fist was quite satisfying, but the shark corpses were blown to bits and were difficult to gather.
Fortunately, the Deep Sea Monster Fish came to the rescue, and under Zi Di’s control, it quietly let out alchemy puppets.
As the dragonman youngster returned to the ship deck, he took back a gigantic fishing net, inside it were the relatively intact shark corpses.
“The Commander if formidable!”
“All of the silver level electric sharks are dead!”
“The Commander isn’t missing a scale.”
The mercenaries cheered.
This was a good opportunity for the dragonman youngster to raise his prestige and Zi Di didn’t let it slip by.
Sure enough, he gained much adoration, respect, and admiring gazes.
The strength of a person plays an influential role in any organization.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he is a single person, he could accomplish things impossible for many others.
For example, if the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ordinary members had to deal with the shark group, they would be sending them to their deaths.
It would result in total defeat and wouldn’t injure the electric sharks in the slightest.
But when the dragonman youngster deployed alone, he conversely wiped out the entire shark group while he came back unharmed.
This world belonged to the strong.
Through battle strength, one could easily obtain prestige. Even if one’s subordinates died, one could easily get another troop together.
To become a strong cultivator, there was one prerequisite, one’s bloodline.
“He has grown stronger!” Cang Xu was both gratified and delighted.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish had clearly shown him how the dragonman youngster had performed this battle.
Cang Xu was happy from the bottom of his heart.
The dragonman youngster trusted him fully, and likewise, he trusted the dragoman youngster fully.
The experience on Mystifying Monster Island had been their chance to get to know each other and recognize each other’s innate character.
Cang Xu was special to the dragonman youngster. There were many necromancers in the world, and the dragonman youngster was vigilant and fearful of all of them except Cang Xu.
With regards to Cang Xu, the dragonman youngster was the most extraordinary person ever. The world despised necromancers, and only here, at the dragonman youngster’s side, could Cang Xu gain trust and kindness. It was a praiseworthy treasure!
Not only that, but Cang Xu also endlessly admired the dragonman youngster’s frighteningly noble tolerance.
The dragonman youngster took a risk to share the secret of the Bloodcore, which formed an even more tremendous chain of benefits that bound him and Zi Di in inseparable solidarity.
Therefore, every time the dragonman youngster got stronger, Cang Xu would be delighted.
If he was like this, Zi Di would be even more so.
The ghost girl’s heart belonged to the dragonman youngster.
She gazed from afar at the dragonman youngster, her eyes warm and supple as water.
At the same time, she also transmitted to Cang Xu, “It seems that buying the spurting smoke dragon corpse was the right thing to do.”
“He is not like us.”
“He has the Bloodcore.”
“We need to find the corresponding bloodline and build the Bloodline Purification formation, while he can absorb any lifeform.”
“As long as we can buy more in the future, we shall.”
Cang Xu expressed his complete approval, “Zong Ge is unreliable.”
“The Commander is our leader, and our most reliable comrade. The stronger he gets, the better it will be for everyone.”
“Anyways, excessively seeking other lifeform bloodlines is not worth it.”
“First, we need more money to buy them, and even if we use military force to capture and kill them, we engage in the risks of battle.”
“Second, if we excessively pursue that, it will provoke external attention and suspicions, making it harder to hide out identities.”
“Third, the Commander needs to digest and assimilate too. He requires a lot of practice to turn his new abilities into true battle strength.”
“This time, he used real combat to temper himself, and his progress through the fight was very clear.”
The necromancer analyzed with continued calmness.
In this regard, Zi Di was still a distance from him.
The young lady treated the youngster with ardent love. During that, rationality often conceded to emotion.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps set sail once again, and not long after, they successfully converged with Zong Ge’s squad.
Zong Ge was at a sandbar. It was a barren island with no vegetation, it was just a long curved strip of sand and soil.
During high tide, this sandbar would sink.
When the tide receded, this sandbar would peep out of the ocean again.
Zong Ge’s ships were revolving around the beach.
Kuai Tui and the others formed a small formation and had already come ashore to deal with the ocean beasts on the sandbar.
They already formulated a method of advancing or retreating and had cultivated good cooperation and tacit understanding with each other.
Their first opponents were gun lobsters.
These lobsters at the ordinary level could grow up the height of a person’s knee, while at the bronze level, they could grow up to the height of a person’s waist.
They could grow past that.
The Gun Lobster bloodline foreordained their growth limit to the bronze level.
Their weapon was their biggest claw.
The claw couldn’t open and close on things, instead they blended together.
There was a round hole at the foremost point of the claw, which was the gun lobster’s shooting hole.
When gun lobsters were confronted, they would shoot pellets from these claws. A bronze level lobster leader with a pair of claws was a natural bronze level alchemy firearm.
Anyways, the lobster leader had no way of dealing with Kuai Tui and the others.
Instead, after evading the gunfire, the dogmen would whistle and advance to swing for a few seconds, landing more than a dozen cuts in that time, hacking the lobster leader to death.
After being provided sufficiently good equipment, Kui Yui now headed the young form of a battle squad!
The dragonman youngster observed for a while, exclaiming in admiration for what Zong Ge’s training could do.
“Throw Sweet Blood Potions.” Zong Ge ordered.
Thereupon, Sweet Blood Potion jars were thrown out and crashed into the seawater, attracting even more gun lobsters to shore, creating constant pressure on Kui Tui and his squad.
“That group of beastmen might be a battle squad!”
Because Zong Ge had deliberately tempered them, along with Kuai Tui and the others fighting like this, most of the mercenaries saw some clues of that.
“Our corps actually has a way to organize battle squads?”
“Should be.”
“With a battle squad, our Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps is a match for many famous pirate groups and mercenary corps! Neither the Iron Club Mercenary Corps nor the Bandage Mercenary Corps have a battle squad, yet we do.”
For a moment, the mercenaries had more faith in the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ future prospects.
