Lu Ye made the decision almost instantly. He pushed Su Baiyue away and stood in front of the ship-borne artillery operation position.
"Xiaobai! Forget about aiming! Reload! Listen to my command and prepare to fire!"
"Brother Lu! What are you doing?!" Shen Hebei was right next to him and was shocked to see that Lu Ye was going to operate the cannon himself.
"Are you crazy?! With your limited combat skills, standing in front of the cannon, aren't you just a sitting duck? Come back now!"
Lu Ye's physical strength is superior to that of ordinary people, and his reaction is also quick, but that is only relative to ordinary people.
Facing an attack from a monster of this level, his attributes are simply not enough!
Once you are hit by the tentacles, you will definitely end up with broken bones and tendons!
Lu Ye shook off Shen Hebei's hand, staring at the rapidly approaching monster in front of him, and growled without looking back.
"Don't worry! I have the 'Lucky Guy' talent to protect me! The King of Hell can't take me away for the time being!"
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words——
"call--!"
A tentacle as thick as a bowl, carrying a fierce gust of wind, suddenly swept over! The target was directly aimed at Lu Ye who was standing at the gun position!
Shen Hebei was so frightened that his heart stopped!
However, the tentacle seemed to have calculated it well, and it almost brushed past Lu Ye's nose!
The strong wind made the strands of hair on his forehead dance wildly and the corners of his clothes rustle, but he himself was unharmed!
However, Shen Hebei, who tried to reach out to pull Lu Ye again, was not so lucky.
“Bang!”
A crisp and loud slap sounded!
Shen Hebei was hit squarely on the cheek by the tip of the tentacle!
The enormous force caused him to spin several times in place like a top, with stars in his eyes and a salty taste in his mouth and nose.
"Ouch..." Chen Hebei covered the half of his face that had instantly become red and swollen, staggered back to the side, and looked at Lu Ye who was standing in front of the gun position safe and sound, not even a hair lost, with complicated eyes.
Well, you are the chosen one, you are awesome!
I won’t get involved!
He thought silently.
"Now! Ignite!" Lu Ye seized the opportunity when the tentacles swung by and pressed the firing button almost by instinct!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three high-explosive bombs roared out of the barrel almost in no particular order!
Three dazzling orange-red tracks were drawn in the dark night sky!
Three shells were fired, chasing after those tentacles that were dancing wildly and posed the greatest threat to the fishing boats!
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Three dull tearing sounds were heard in succession!
Accompanied by the monster's even more shrill and sharp screams!
Three thick black tentacles that were still twitching violently broke off with a sound!
Like three huge dead snakes, carrying sticky and smelly black liquid, they fell heavily from mid-air!
Two of them crashed into the churning sea, splashing huge waves.
The last one was as thick as a bucket, and with huge impact force, it hit a medium-sized yacht belonging to an unlucky player that happened to drift nearby with a loud "bang"!
“Crack—!!!!”
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the medium-sized yacht, which looked new and sturdy, was actually smashed in half by the broken tentacle!
The hull split apart!
The players on the boat didn't even have time to scream before they quickly sank into the dark and cold seabed with the broken hull and the surging seawater!
Not even a bubble left!
Shen Hebei was stunned and muttered subconsciously, "These players' ships... why are they as fragile as paper?"
Hearing this, Bo Wang, who was on the speedboat next to him and luckily had not had the bottom of the boat gnawed by the black fish or been hit by the tentacles, lost the last bit of blood on his face. The fear even overwhelmed the severe pain in his body.
“It’s not made of paper…”
His voice trembled. "They haven't been upgraded! These are basic ships without any system enhancements! Their structural strength and corrosion resistance are extremely poor! Forget being hit by a monster like this. Even if they were to soak in the seawater at the edge of this 'Rotten Abyss' for too long, they would likely disintegrate due to corrosion!"
After the explanation, Bo Wang suddenly seemed to realize something. He raised his head abruptly and stared at Lu Ye's huge fishing boat, which looked extremely sturdy. A hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes!
"Boy..." He grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth mixed with blood foam, his smile twisted and ferocious.
"Your ship... is so huge... to fully upgrade and strengthen it, you'd need an astronomical amount of materials... have you got them?"
He stared at Lu Ye intently, as if trying to see even the slightest trace of panic on his face.
"Perhaps... your ship hasn't even undergone the most basic anti-corrosion treatment...?"
"If you regret it now and want to work with me and share my experience and resources, there's still time!"
Bo Wang's voice suddenly rose, with an almost hysterical sense of pride.
"Otherwise, when those little creatures called 'Rotten Fangs' or even more powerful monsters come after your 'Iron Coffin'... hehe!"
This guy, even when he's about to die, still wants to PUA me? Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey, or was he made stupid by that tentacle just now?
After hearing this, Lu Ye felt that even looking at Bo Wang for one more second was a waste of time.
Cooperation? Sharing? Just because you have broken arms and legs and your subordinates want to throw you overboard to feed the fish?
Lu Ye sneered in his heart.
As for corrosion? Little monsters?
He didn't even bother to explain.
Ever since he killed the swarm of deep-sea lantern fish that was like a tide, he accidentally triggered a low-probability event in the system and gained a passive talent called [Deep Sea Deterrence]. Ordinary low-level sea monsters, especially fish monsters, would instinctively choose to retreat when they sensed the subtle aura from him.
Just like now, those small black fish that were biting the side of the Bowang speedboat frantically before are still swimming in the nearby sea water, but none of them dare to get close to Lu Ye’s fishing boat.
They seemed to have encountered their natural enemy and avoided this "giant" that exuded a terrifying aura from a distance.
As for those remaining tentacles and limbs of the "Rotten Fang" that had not yet completely sunk, they twitched occasionally, but had lost the desire to attack actively.
"Okay, stop howling." Lu Ye waved his hand impatiently.
"Instead of telling me big promises, why don't you think about how to prevent your speedboat from being sunk by the remaining fish?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Bo Wang's purple face and turned to walk towards the cabin.
He picked up a harpoon with a barb and casually killed a few small monsters that tried to approach the edge of the fishing boat. The rest no longer posed a threat.
I can’t kill them all, and I can’t get up. It’s almost dawn, and I guess these things should retreat.
There's no point in wasting time.
Lu Ye yawned, stretched, and actually found a relatively clean corner. He patted the deck, leaned against the side of the ship, and closed his eyes.
