Just as the flagship sailed out of the chaotic area and Qin He was still filled with emotion, Shen Hebei's excited shout suddenly came from the side of the ship.
"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! I caught something! A big one! Alive! Several of them!"
Having failed to catch Shen Hebei before due to the interference of mutant fish, he tried a few more times after the flagship moved its position. Unexpectedly, he actually got something this time.
Lu Ye heard the sound and walked over, only to see Shen Hebei grunting and pulling up a huge trawl net.
The trawl net was heavy, obviously carrying a lot of things.
"Pull it up and take a look." Lu Ye gestured.
"Hey, hey! Hey, hey!"
With everyone's combined efforts, they finally dragged the huge fishing net onto the deck. As soon as the net was untied, three pitch-black, half-human-sized, hideous-looking fish fell to the deck with a "crackling" sound, twisting and struggling frantically.
These black fish are covered with hard scales, and their eyes, ears, mouths and noses cannot be seen clearly. There is only a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, which flashes a heart-pounding cold light under the searchlight.
They seemed extremely ferocious. As soon as they escaped, one of them suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit the railing of the ship next to it!
“Crack!”
A teeth-grinding sound of metal breaking was heard!
The black fish had bitten off a large piece of the ship's side guardrail, which was made of high-strength alloy, revealing a hideous gap inside!
Qin He gasped as he watched from the side, his face full of disbelief.
"This is a Class V hull reinforced with B-grade alloy steel! Even a regular mortar wouldn't be able to penetrate its defenses in one shot! The bite force of this fish is even more outrageous than an industrial saw!"
What a joke! If these monsters appeared in droves, wouldn't any ship be as useless as paper in front of them?
Qin He's expression changed again and again, and suddenly he thought of an even more horrifying question.
His voice trembled. "Logically speaking, if there really were a school of fish with such terrifying bite force in the sea, then my modified ship and those other players' crappy little boats would have been gnawed to pieces by them long ago! How could they have survived until now?!"
Lu Ye's expression was strangely calm. He kicked a black fish that was twisting its body the most happily at his feet. The fish suddenly shook its head, and its huge mouth almost bit his boots.
"Calm down, calm down." He waved his hand nonchalantly and pointed to his personal bracelet.
"It's just a routine operation. After all, I just got a title, so the system has to give me some 'surprises', right?"
He called up the system panel, and a line of scarlet fonts was clearly visible. Qin He took a closer look and felt a chill all over his body.
[System prompt: Because player "Lu Ye" and his team have significantly affected the balance of this world, the monsters' attack intensity on "Lu Ye" team will be increased to 150%!]
One hundred and fifty percent?! Is this considered normal operation?!
Qin He felt his eyes go dark and the world spin.
It's over! It's completely over! The monsters in this damn place are deadly enough, and now their power has been increased by 50%!
This is simply treating Lu Ye’s flagship as a super VIP seat in a monster buffet!
"Boss Lu! This is too dangerous! We must find a solution immediately! I can contact Captain Fan! Their search and rescue team will definitely be able to deal with this situation and at least give us some support!"
Lu Ye shook off his hand without caring, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
"Support? That old guy? What can he give? A few more boxes of compressed biscuits or a few barrels of fresh water? There's no need for that."
He stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Qin He's eyes. "Don't forget, I have more than one title in the 'Tomorrow' series. I'm awesome in the sun, but I can still walk sideways in the dark!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ye's eyes flashed, and with a turn of his wrist, the "Kaleidoscope Salute" he had just obtained appeared in his palm.
"Besides, who says only monsters can surprise us?"
He smiled and activated one of the usage permissions without hesitation!
"Light it up for me!"
In an instant, a colorful torrent that could not be described in words gushed out from the salute, like a miniature sun suddenly exploding above the flagship!
"Boom—hum!"
Silent shock waves swept in all directions, and the extremely strong colorful light instantly dispelled the thick darkness in the surrounding sea area of hundreds of meters, illuminating this sea of death as if day had arrived!
The black waves surging on the sea, the wreckage floating in the distance, and even some shadowy black figures in the deep water, were all exposed by this sudden strong light!
On the deck of the flagship, everyone was blinded by the sudden bright light, and their ears were buzzing as if countless bees were fluttering in their heads.
Qin He subconsciously closed his eyes, feeling as if his retinas were about to be burned through, and was terrified.
What… what is this?! Is this that epic item?! This range, this strength… it's simply divine punishment!
If that old fox Fan Meng witnessed this scene with his own eyes, his jaw would probably drop to the ground!
The burst of light lasted only a moment, but the effect of dispelling the darkness did not disappear immediately.
The sea area hundreds of meters around the flagship was shrouded in a soft but inviolable colorful halo, like a huge bright barrier.
At the same time, in Lu Ye's field of vision, a clear timer suddenly appeared on the light curtain - [00:59:59].
"Duration of one hour?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. Before he could think about it, a bigger surprise followed.
He clearly sensed a strange connection between himself and this colorful field of light. With a slight shift of his mind, the edge of the field of light actually expanded slightly!
With another thought, the light range shrank a little more!
[System prompt: During the duration of "Kaleidoscope Salute", the player "Lu Ye" can freely control the range of the light field (maximum radius 500 meters). Within the light field, all friendly units will be immune to most mental negative effects, and hostile dark creatures will be continuously suppressed.]
Holy shit! Is this even possible?! Isn't this like a moving field of light, and I have the final say?!
Lu Ye was ecstatic. The effect of this "Kaleidoscope Salute" was far more powerful than he had imagined! Within this light domain, he was simply the nemesis of dark creatures!
This thing, whether used to defend the home or advance, is simply a magical skill!
He smacked his lips and carefully put the "Kaleidoscope Salute" which had two uses left into his inventory, as if he were collecting a rare treasure.
"What are you all standing there for!" Lu Ye shouted, bringing everyone back to reality from their shock. "Xiong Er, Su Baiyue, take your positions! Flagship, full speed ahead! Target, the coordinate point I marked earlier!"
A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I want to see what the idiot who challenged me on the public channel and said he was going to give me a 'surprise' has prepared!"
With the protection of this bright field and the firepower of the flagship, we will challenge them today!
