Chapter 343 Water Battle
Lin Wen had conceived of underwater combat methods a long time ago.
After he annihilated an imperial fleet, he began to think deeply about this way of fighting.
The conclusion is that due to the existence of [fish and water harmony], he is freer in the water than on land.
Although he is temporarily unable to use [Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Strength] or [Qi Forbidden Divine Power], he cannot throw the cannonballs with his bare hands like last time.
But, he has technology.
According to the post-analysis of the last naval battle, it was dangerous for him to go ashore, and it was even more dangerous to throw shells with his bare hands.
The fleet was wiped out that time only because the enemy was careless and unaware of his existence. They thought they had annihilated the enemy and rashly approached the warships that had lost their ability to resist, which is why they were caught off guard by Lin Wen.
With the support of double strength, Lin Wen only has the strength to lift a hundred tons, but it does not mean that he can lift or snatch a hundred-ton object.
The distance of throwing a shell with bare hands is much shorter than the range of a ship's gun. If they continue to fire, Lin Wen will be in great danger.
He had no magic to withstand the attack of the ship's guns, and he would be doomed if hit by one shot.
His real strength is underwater.
It's about concealment and mobility.
After using [Fish and Water Harmony], he was extremely fast and agile in the water. He could dive deep or surface quickly, was not afraid of water pressure, was not afraid of darkness, did not need to breathe, and could adapt to even the worst water flow environment.
In the world of immortal cultivation, this is a very common ability.
But from the perspective of humans, this is a nightmare-like existence, and no technology can reach this level.
Nothing can do just "dive deep or surface quickly".
Divers who ascend too quickly can die, and decompression emergency is no joke.
The submarine can only dive to a maximum of six hundred meters. Its diving and surfacing speeds are very slow. Moreover, unlike what you might imagine, a submarine is actually very unfree underwater.
It can actually only move in one plane and must cross it by changing depth.
However, humans' means of underwater attack, depth charges, posed no threat to Lin Wen.
[Without a Colorful Phoenix] can warn of danger and there is almost no possibility of being blown up.
As for the torpedo, not to mention the guidance problem, the fastest speed of the torpedo is only 70 knots, while Lin Wen can easily break through 80 knots. If there are other spells to help, breaking through 100 knots is also commonplace.
Therefore, Lin Wen has no natural enemies underwater.
But now the attack spell has not been unlocked, so he has no attack power.
However, destruction is the technological power that humans are best at.
Lin Wen is an immortal who understands science.
He only needs to bring a bomb worth a few thousand dollars and stick it on the bottom of the ship, and a ship worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars will be scrapped.
This profession has long existed among humans, and they call it "water ghost".
In ancient times, "water ghosts" slashed ships, and in modern times, "water ghosts" blow up ships. There are records of even aircraft carriers being sunk.
Later, modern technology strengthened the defense against "water ghosts", and it became difficult for "water ghosts" to have brilliant battle records.
But that is just a human "water ghost".
Lin Wen carried a whole bag of underwater explosives on his back and jumped into the water with a nine-and-a-half-turn mid-air.
He is "Daffodil".
——
The Tianjiang River flows violently and the water is turbid.
As soon as he got into the water, Lin Wen activated [Harmony of Fish and Water], [Blindness and Vision], and [Swiftness of the Spirit Cat].
I originally wanted to strengthen [No Colorful Phoenix], but unfortunately the blue destiny star has been used up.
Now there is only one red and one blue.
"Looks like I need to save it in the future."
Lin Wen thought.
"There is indeed a problem with my magical power. There is still no dedicated combat power for the Good Fate magical power. Otherwise, it would be great if I could strengthen a combat magical power before the battle."
You can only look at the next magical power. If there is no particularly powerful one, give priority to one that is suitable for combat.
【Good karma: 103001】
The next magical power is 160,000, which is not very far away.
Since Changshan County was built, his weekly good karma has been a huge number, especially after accepting nearly eight million refugees.
Not only did it bring him a huge amount of good karma, it also caused his spirit to surge to 229%.
When Lin Wen was exploring spells some time ago, he discovered that there was a faint 250 at the bottom of the spell page.
After a crazy rush, Lin Wen discovered that it was actually a stage sign of his soul. If it exceeded 250%, his soul power would be equivalent to entering the next stage.
At that time, some spells that were originally lost because his spirit was too weak will appear.
It’s a pity that there are no new refugees now, otherwise his spirit and good karma will continue to soar.
Moreover, Changshan County has already exceeded its limit by accepting so many people at once.
I still have indigestion now.
All the troubles nowadays are caused to maintain the livelihood of so many people.
"We still have to digest them as quickly as possible."
Lin Wen was thinking in his mind.
"Changshan County still has a lot of potential for good karma that has not been released."
"If I can get 70,000 or 80,000 good karmas a week, then it shouldn't be difficult for me to accumulate 10 million good karmas that I couldn't even see in the beginning to reincarnate, right?"
"As soon as I reincarnate, I'll have great opportunities, great luck, great understanding, great bones, and great spiritual awareness. Wouldn't that make me invincible? I can then use the magic provided by the system to cover myself up and pretend to be an ordinary loser who barely manages to enter a prestigious sect. Wouldn't that make me slap their faces to pieces?"
Hahahaha.
When he thought of the beautiful future, Lin Wen couldn't help laughing. The river water flowed into his mouth obediently and hit his cheeks.
Pooh!
Fortunately, he has [Fish and Water Harmony], and has a high affinity for water, so he can easily control the water flow around him.
Otherwise, if you laugh out loud at a speed of 100 knots, you will definitely get a belly full of river water.
"Let's not think too far ahead and focus on the present. Okay, let's set a small goal first and try to earn 10,000 good karmas per week."
In this way, you can have a good luck every week. Isn’t that wonderful?
Lin Wen almost laughed out loud again, but luckily he managed to hold it back.
He moved in the turbid river water at an ultra-high speed of 100 knots. The water flow separated from his body obediently, providing thrust while not causing resistance.
The turbid and dark river water did not interfere with his vision at all, and the civet cat possession made his movements more graceful and agile.
If someone could see Lin Wen in the water, they would be amazed at his beautiful figure and unparalleled elegance. His every move was like an elf in the water, blending into one with the water and coexisting harmoniously.
It's like having the great freedom in the water.
No one is freer than he.
He is a free man.
Changshan County is more than 500 kilometers away from Jiangkou City, and this 500-kilometer waterway is what Lin Wen wants to protect.
Due to the existence of "Goddess Qixi Water", Lin Wen directly used [Fairy Pointing the Way] to confirm the enemy's position.
This "luck" is indeed useful and very suitable for Lin Wen's current situation. It reduces the consumption of [Immortal Guidance] and [Asking the Way from Heaven] by about one third.
In the past, when he didn't know any intelligence, asking questions involving many forces and many people would consume at least 200% of his spiritual energy.
Now only 138% is consumed, and after halving, only 69% is used. It is really a good deal.
The attackers this time were composed of powerful and influential people along the Tianjiang and Dalongjiang rivers.
Some of them were their private soldiers, and some were pirates from abroad. The Council provided a large number of ships and professionals to coordinate and command their actions.
Because the Council once tried to launch an attack on Changshan County on the water, they suffered a crushing defeat because Lin Wen blew up the bottom of their ship.
So they knew that Changshan County had a special underwater combat force, and speculated that it might be a special mutated underwater combat body.
Therefore, they made special preparations for underwater attacks.
The Council dispatched special anti-submarine ships and the anti-submarine helicopter "Sea Hawk", equipped with submarine detection equipment such as sonar buoys, magnetic detectors, hydroacoustic detectors, optical instruments, and electromagnetic instruments, as well as anti-submarine weapons such as torpedoes and depth charges.
The commander of this operation was a retired navy general with extensive anti-submarine experience.
At this moment, he was standing at the bow of a thousand-ton river frigate, looking at a cargo ship loaded with cargo sailing in the distance.
The cargo ship was filled with containers and poor people trying to escape Jiangkou City to make a living in Changshan County.
A sneer flashed across his lips as he ordered, "Speed up, catch up to that cargo ship ahead, and sink it. I want to enjoy the sight of the poor wretch falling into the water like a louse."
My hard drive is broken. I've been working on it all day. Today might be a little short... Tomorrow it will be thicker and longer.
