Chapter 89: Seconds of Cowardice



Seeing their "boss" back down in an instant, they reacted even faster, exchanging glances immediately. Almost at the same time, they took a step forward and decisively drew a line between themselves and Jintang.

"Master Lu! Master Lu! We are not on the same side as him! He forced us to come here!"

"Right, right, right! Fatty Jin is a bastard! He only knows how to exploit us!"

"Master Lu, your ship is so... so majestic! It's like a mobile palace on the sea!"

"Master Lu, can we help you get the boat out of the ice? The ice is too thick. Xiong Ren's explosive skills are definitely not enough. We are many, so we can smash it together! We don't want anything else, just ask you... to lend a hand to the brothers when the time comes, and just give them something to eat..."

The faces of this group of people changed faster than the weather on the ice field. They were just pretending to be powerful, but now they are almost kneeling down and kowtowing.

However, Lu Ye ignored these fence-sitters who changed their views according to the wind.

His eyes dropped to the virtual light screen projected by the bracelet.

There, a special [Deep Sea Aquaculture Module] interface is clearly displayed.

In the interface, against a deep blue background, hundreds of active life points are densely flashing!

Status display: All alive and full of energy!

【Deep Sea Fish (Elite)】

【Condition: Good】

[Initial Skill: Swarm Charge (LV1): Launches a fearless swarm charge, causing physical damage to the target and destroying obstacles.)]

Haha, deep-sea fish are indeed resistant to cold.

Cluster collision?

It's tailor-made for hitting the ice!

Lu Ye sneered in his heart.

He raised his eyelids, and his cold gaze swept over the players who were nodding and bowing with anticipation, and an undisguised arc of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't like to carry any baggage when I go out."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and gave a command directly to the system panel:

"All deep-sea fish, surface! Target, the ice around the Wavebreaker! Break it!"

At this moment, a young man with a pale face, thick earmuffs and a somewhat gloomy temperament at the edge of the crowd suddenly covered his ears with his hands and let out a shrill scream!

"Down there! Under the ice... there are so many things! They're extremely aggressive! Very fast! They're heading towards us... rapidly!!!"

This young man obviously possesses some special listening skills!

His words were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, causing the whole thing to explode instantly!

"What?!"

"There's a monster under the ice?!"

“Run!!!”

The players who had just wanted to join Lu Ye, along with Jin Tang who was so scared that he almost peed his pants, were instantly overwhelmed by the huge fear.

They had no time to curry favor with Lu Ye. They were so scared that they tried to escape away from the Breaking Waves by rolling and crawling.

There was chaos on the ice!

However, Lu Ye grabbed Xiong Ren, who was also pale and subconsciously wanted to pick up his sister and run away.

Xiong Ren's body was shaking violently with fear.

"Don't panic, just stay." Lu Ye's voice remained calm.

"I can guarantee the safety of you and your sister. You can stay and help me for a while."

Xiong Ren was stunned, then his eyes suddenly turned red, and hot tears welled up in his bloodshot eyes.

He obviously didn't believe Lu Ye's words and only regarded them as consolation in a desperate situation.

"Brother Lu...Brother Lu..." Xiong Ren wiped away the tears that instantly froze into ice chips, his voice choked with sobs, carrying a tragic and resolute tone.

"You...you don't have to comfort me...I know...we can't escape...you are a good person! Really!"

He took a deep breath, straightened his burly body suddenly, and protected Xiaoya tightly behind him. His eyes became unusually firm, as if he was ready to die.

"Brother Lu, don't worry! If a monster really rushes out from under the ice, I, Xiong Ren, will definitely stand in the front even if I die! I will definitely protect you! You are very capable, so take my sister away when you have the chance! Don't worry about me!"

Looking at his self-sacrificing appearance, Lu Ye couldn't help but twitch his lips, and for a moment he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This guy...isn't he acting a little too much?

"Alright, alright, put away your heroic spirit that's ready to be reimbursed at any time."

Lu Ye patted his shoulder and motioned him to look at the ice.

"Open your bear eyes wide and see clearly for me!"

As soon as the words fell——

“Crack! Crack! Crack!!”

With the brightly lit Breaker as the center, the thick ice surface within a radius of nearly 100 meters suddenly emitted a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds!

Right after!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--!"

Countless extremely swift black shadows, like arrows shot from a bow, rushed up from the bottomless dark sea!

They slammed hard into the bottom of the extremely hard ice!

The thick ice layer that even Xiong Ren's [Explosion] skill could not shake began to crack, disintegrate, and shatter like the most fragile glass under the impact of these deep-sea fish!

Ice chips are flying all over the sky!

However, in just a dozen seconds, a huge gap was suddenly opened in the solid ice that had originally frozen the Wave Breaker!

A wide, sparkling, ice-free waterway appeared around the Wavebreaker!

The hull made a slight shaking sound, obviously it had completely broken free from the shackles of ice!

What is even more astonishing is that the deep-sea saber-tooth fish that broke through the ice did not stop!

They quickly adjusted their direction and continued to slam into the front of the Breaking Wave!

“Bang, bang, bang—!”

An icebreaking channel several meters wide and continuously extending forward was forcibly opened up on the solid ice field!

Black fish shadows swam nimbly through the open waterway.

Xiong Ren was so shocked that he forgot to shed tears. The arms that were holding his sister were shaking slightly because of excessive force.

On the ice, Jin Tang and a few of his trusted aides rolled and crawled, desperately trying to escape from the "Breaking Waves" that exuded the breath of death.

The biting cold wind blew on his face, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold at the moment. The shock and fear brought by the adrenaline made his whole body hot.

After running a distance he thought was safe, Jintang held his knees and gasped violently, as if his lungs were about to explode.

He looked back and could only see the still bright light of the Wavebreaker in the distance and the faint, heart-pounding sound of ice breaking around him.

Jintang wiped the cold sweat that instantly froze on his forehead, still feeling a lingering fear.

However, after the fear, a feeling of relief at having survived the disaster came over me.

"Hu...Hu..." Jin Tang pretended to be calm and boasted to his subordinates who were also frightened, spitting everywhere.

"See? I told you something was wrong! That guy is really weird! Luckily, I have a natural sensitivity to danger! I noticed the weird thing under the ice right away! Otherwise... humph!"
