Chapter 1442: Shock on the Sea
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Listening to the shrill screams, in a short while, the musketeer who fell into the water was eaten up completely, without even a bone left.
Only the pool of blood that remained on the sea surface and continued to spread proved that he had ever existed.
Even Bai Tu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when seeing this scene.
It's not like he hasn't seen wild beasts that choose their prey, and it can be said that he himself crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
But the shock brought to him by those man-eating sea fish just now was even stronger.
"Everyone, please hold on to the nearby railings and don't fall into the water!"
Bai Tu was not the only one who saw what happened just now. On the warship, every soldier had a pale face.
My goodness, that scene was even more terrifying than that of a ferocious beast. Once I fell into the water, I would not even be able to struggle for a few times before being gnawed by those man-eating fishes until there was nothing left but bones! But simply holding on to the railing to prevent myself from falling was obviously not enough to solve the problem.
The scene just now has made Bai Tu fully aware that beneath the sea, there might be a whole school of man-eating sea fish attacking the bottom of their boat!
The impact was so powerful that it caused their large ship to shake continuously.
If they continue in this trend, it’s hard to say whether their ship can survive.
"A musket won't work. How about a powder barrel?!"
At the critical moment, Lin Youshu put forward an idea, but Bai Tu rejected it directly upon hearing it.
"We can't use explosive barrels! Once the explosive barrels are dropped, the bottom of our ship will be blown apart directly without the piranhas hitting us!"
Almost at the same time as he said this, Bai Tu actually had an idea in his mind.
【You can only try it! 】
As the thought flashed through his mind, Bai Tu made a prompt decision and acted quickly.
[Beast Soldier Control! ]
Unlike Li Ce, who has been busy with military operations and leading troops to battle in recent years, Bai Tu is stationed on a volcanic island. Apart from training and patrolling every day, his life is quite leisurely.
So he used the extra time directly on cultivation.
With Zhou Xu's talent as an 'evolutionary leader', and Bai Tu's own four-star spiritual attribute as a backup, after years of hard training, he is now a bronze two-star extraordinary wizard!
However, as an extraordinary wizard, he does not have much practical experience.
This was the first time he carried out this operation in actual combat.
The power of the mantra quickly spread out. With the help of the power of the mantra, Bai Tu quickly captured the school of piranhas under the sea. While he was horrified by their huge size, his spirits were also lifted.
[Yes! This trick works! ]
The willpower of those man-eating sea fish was not strong, and they didn't even have much resistance, so Bai Tu used "Beast Soldier Control" to forcibly control a group of them.
Then without saying a word, Bai Tu directly controlled the piranhas to attack other piranhas around them.
The teeth of these piranhas are so sharp that they can crush bones in an instant, but their defensive capabilities are very average, or poor.
Among the school of fish, another part of the piranhas obviously did not expect that they would be suddenly attacked by their own kind, and pieces of their flesh were bitten off on the spot.
In an instant, the surrounding piranhas quickly surrounded them like sharks that smelled blood, and attacked the injured piranhas without saying a word.
[These piranhas have almost no intelligence and act purely on instinct. Even if they are of the same species, once they are injured, they will immediately attack! ]
This discovery made Bai Tu happy. He immediately controlled the group of piranhas to transform into mad dogs in the sea, biting everywhere.
However, as a price to pay, the group of piranhas controlled by it were also attacked crazily by other piranhas. In the blink of an eye, they were eaten up by the surrounding piranhas.
But Bai Tu didn't care at all. The lower the intelligence of the creature, the lower its resistance to 'Beast Soldier Control'. These piranhas had almost no intelligence, so they were too easy to control for him, an extraordinary wizard who had mastered 'Beast Soldier Control'.
After this batch was eaten up, he turned around and immediately controlled another batch of piranhas with mantras, and started biting wildly in the sea.
Compared to the hard and difficult to chew bottom of the ship of the Great Zhou, the flesh and blood of their own kind is undoubtedly more attractive to the piranhas.
At this moment, the smell of blood aroused their ferocity, and under the leadership of Bai Tu, they directly broke out into a crazy civil war.
Seizing this opportunity, Bai Tu quickly gave the order.
"Order the entire fleet to dock as quickly as possible!"
The ability of an extraordinary wizard is ultimately limited, not to mention that he is only bronze two stars at this stage.
The number of piranhas in this sea is simply too huge. Even if he uses the 'beast soldier control' to make them kill each other, it is still unrealistic to completely wipe them out.
The most important thing right now is to get rid of this school of piranhas.
Bai Tu thought about letting the fleet give up landing on the island and stay away from this sea area.
But if he did that, there was no guarantee that the piranhas in the sea would not chase him out. Bai Tu didn't think that their ship's speed could be faster than the piranhas in the sea.
At this distance, they couldn't get back to the volcanic island at all and would die in the mouths of these piranhas.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to choose to land on the island urgently! At least the island is not far away from them. As long as they can land smoothly, even if the piranhas can continue to catch up, they can choose to abandon the ship and land. At least their troops can be saved.
By then, relying on the troops in their hands, they will incorporate the primitive tribes on the island, rely on the resources on the island, and the supplies on their ship, and they will have no problem surviving.
During this period, if the volcanic island did not receive regular reports from them, it would be assumed that something had happened to them.
We will report it as quickly as possible at that time. I believe it won’t be long before the follow-up rescue team arrives and they will be saved.
Obviously, in just a short period of time, Bai Tu had thought a lot.
With their lives threatened, the rowers used all their might to force the Great Zhou fleet out of the piranha school and safely reach the shore.
This kind of island has no port for them to disembark, and there is undoubtedly a shallow water area from this location to the shore. It is obvious that the warships of their Great Zhou cannot continue to move forward, otherwise they will be stranded.
But if they were to get off the boat and switch to a small boat or wade ashore in shallow water...
Thinking back to the piranhas they had just seen, they felt a little nervous.
Just as the soldiers, including Bai Tu, were thinking this, they suddenly discovered that there was no movement under the sea.
Until the piranhas that had been ramming the bottom of their boat just now suddenly disappeared without a sound...
