The island, like a solitary star in the deep sea, is now surrounded by countless shadows.
The attack came so suddenly that it didn't even give the island's residents a moment to react, but everyone reacted quickly and decisively.
At this moment, the feinting force, drawn by the crimson gaze, could no longer find its original target and charged straight toward the island's shield.
The densely packed deep-sea creatures charged at the island's shield, only to be bounced back and sent flying far away in the water.
"The feint attack force's emotional fluctuations are extremely abnormal, filled with frenzy and chaos." Sun Yiming frowned, his mental energy carefully scanning the crazed enemies.
"Are they like they've lost their self-awareness, completely influenced and manipulated by the Scarlet Gaze? This kind of attack doesn't care about their own losses and safety at all; it's practically suicide!"
A barely perceptible smile, tinged with surprise, flashed in Lorraine's eyes.
"Crimson Gaze...Isn't its main function supposed to be early warning? Now it seems its effectiveness in attracting hatred is beyond any of our expectations."
“The Scarlet Gaze’s primary function is forecasting, and secondly, it attracts hatred.” Gu Xi’s voice was calm, yet tinged with coldness. “Now it seems that it is precisely because of the Scarlet Gaze’s forced attraction that these Deep Sea Clan members, who are being used as cannon fodder, are like moths drawn to a flame.”
"The islands' shield is that flame, and they are now engaging in a pointless moth-to-a-flame exercise, hastening their own demise. This is not a bad thing for us."
"Hehe, I see! As long as they don't lower their hatred towards us, they'll continue to be chaotic like this, attacking the shield more and more frantically and consuming their own power. This effect is really good." Sun Yiming suddenly realized.
“Hehe, I see! As long as they don’t lower their hatred for the red light, they’ll continue to be chaotic like this, attacking the shield more and more frantically and consuming their own power. This effect is really good.” Sun Yiming suddenly realized, his tense face relaxed a little, but then became serious again. “But this is just a restraint. The real threat is not here.”
“That’s right, this is just an appetizer.” Gu Xi’s voice was flat. “It makes them lose their minds, focusing only on an unbreakable target, and depleting their strength. But that’s not the point.”
Her spiritual power pierced through the thick seawater and reached deep into the island.
“The bottom is where they’re going to attack,” Gu Xi said with certainty. “The bottom is the foundation of the entire island. It’s where the energy nodes of the ocean’s ley lines are located, and it’s the core of the shield and all the defense systems’ energy.”
"Once the bottom is breached, the entire defense system will be devastated, and it could even destabilize the island's structure. Flame Scale!"
"Here! Boss!" Flame Scale's excited mental response came instantly, filled with the excitement of battle and a hint of eager anticipation.
Its massive body had long since returned to its battle form, swimming nimbly in the seawater at the bottom of the island.
The bluish-purple scales shimmered with an eerie luster in the dim light, like burning flames.
"Lead your sea monster companions and hold the bottom! At all costs!" Gu Xi commanded.
In the distance, the roars of sea beasts could be heard. Led by Flame Scale, the sea beasts surged towards the bottom of the island like a tide.
On the other side, at the top of the island, the Ironclaw Crab's fast-moving force was attempting to bypass the area drawn by the Crimson Gaze and find a breakthrough from above.
They are incredibly fast and agile, leaving trails of afterimages in the seawater.
“The top assault force is small in number but very fast,” Lorraine said. “Their target appears to be the defensive towers?”
"Then activate the top defense tower and use the energy cannon to intercept!" Sun Yiming immediately commanded the personnel on the island to begin the counterattack.
The defensive towers atop the island emitted a dazzling light, and thick beams of energy shot towards the rapidly moving Ironclaw Crab army.
The iron-clawed crabs nimbly dodged, while simultaneously cutting through the ocean currents with their enormous pincers, attempting to create chaos.
