Chapter 215 Fire!
In the sky, Little Gold flapped its wings more frequently, its posture like a golden shooting star. Its eyes were exceptionally sharp as it looked down at the ship-shaped shelter on the sea.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in its large feathers, casting dappled golden rays that illuminated the entire sea area in a magnificent golden glow.
To it, this sea would sooner or later become its own territory, while the people below were nothing more than a group of invaders trying to challenge its authority.
A tense atmosphere filled the ship-shaped shelter. The archers drew their bows taut, arrows aimed at the sky, eyes fixed on their targets.
The first wave of arrows swept up like a storm, but Xiao Jin's extremely high agility completely overwhelmed these attacks.
With a graceful flap of its wings, its body traced an arc in the air, dodging all the arrows. The arrows either fell into the azure sea or struck the deck of the shelter with a "clink-clink" sound.
Mei Chuan was so angry that his veins bulged. He roared at the archers, "Useless! All of you are useless! Aim a little more, shoot at its wings! Let this bastard see our archery skills!"
Xiao Jin's fear had not yet dissipated, and not daring to confront Xiao Jin directly, he could only rage in a fit of impotence, venting his anger on his subordinates.
Mei Chuan's angry rebuke made the archers tremble. They gritted their teeth and continued to adjust their posture and fire again.
Tanaka's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Jin in the air, and though he remained silent, his eyes were filled with anger and apprehension.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Another volley of arrows shot into the air from the ship-shaped shelter.
This time, several arrows grazed past Little Gold's wingtips, the sound of them tearing through the air reminding Little Gold that the threat it faced was not simple.
Its eyes sharpened, carrying a hint of killing intent. Its wings suddenly flapped faster, producing a low but clear whistling sound. Its body instantly rose, provocatively looking down at Xiao Rizhi from above the rain of arrows.
The aerial force that Xiao Rizi brought along consisted of only those few flying pets from before, all of which had already been destroyed by Xiao Jin. Now, their attempts to harass Xiao Jin were futile, offering only a token psychological comfort through their bows and arrows.
However, it was just a consolation.
Not to mention that they wouldn't be able to hit Xiao Jin at his speed, even if Xiao Jin stopped in mid-air and they could shoot, given their strength and the quality of their bows and arrows, it would be difficult to cause any real damage to Xiao Jin.
Just then, a deafening roar came from afar.
Mo Ming stood on the edge of the floating island, holding binoculars and watching the farce from afar, a cold and contemptuous smile on his face.
"These idiots actually tried to shoot down Little Gold with arrows?" He said this with a tone full of disdain. "Today, I'll show you what real technology and ruthlessness are."
fire! "
He gave a symbolic shout, like a teenager, and then activated the fully automatic combat bunker by manipulating the bracelet. Under the control of the bunker, the Throat-Splitting Frog Cannon easily locked onto the ship on the sea.
"Let me give you a try first!"
A deafening boom ripped through the sky, the sound like a demon's roar erupting from the depths of hell.
The sky was instantly ripped open as a cannonball, trailing a bluish-green flame, roared in from Mo Ming's direction. It slammed straight into the armored structure of the ship-shaped shelter, exploding on the decorative tower to the right of the deck, blowing off the entire top of the tower and scattering debris everywhere.
The people inside the ship-shaped shelter all shuddered, and those within the blast radius were blown away and fell into the sea.
Then, one giant shell after another roared down, the flames of the explosions shooting into the sky, smoke filling the surroundings, and a green corrosive gas like poisonous fog.
After these gases drifted onto the deck, they quickly adhered to the surface of the ship's armor, emitting a piercing "hissing" sound. The steel surface even began to decompose visibly, as if being gnawed by evil spirits.
"Damn it, these shells have poison gas!" Miki exclaimed in horror, coughing from the smoke and covering his mouth and nose.
Mei Chuan roared, "That madman on the island is too ruthless! He's trying to completely destroy our ship! Tanaka, activate defense mode immediately! If this continues, we won't even be able to stand on the deck!"
Although he tried his best to remain calm, the fear in his eyes was undeniable.
Tanaka's expression was as cold as an ice sculpture. He lowered his head and pressed the red button on the control panel, after which a slight "hum" came from the bottom of the ship.
A transparent and bright golden shield spread out with regular vibrations, firmly protecting the entire ship's exterior and keeping out the green corrosive gases. The crew finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this relaxation did not last long.
"Bang!" Another giant frog cannonball slammed into the light shield, causing the entire shield to tremble violently and the light to quiver intensely.
Then came the second, third, and fourth shots... Seeing that Xiao Rizi had opened the shield, Mo Ming also put away his playful thoughts and simply fired all twenty Throat-Splitting Giant Frog Cannons at once. The shells poured down like a torrential rain, and each shot made the shield shake more and more violently.
"The shield... the shield is about to give way!" someone cried out.
"Retreat!" Tanaka shouted without hesitation, "Hurry up, retreat at full speed!" At this moment, even his usually calm expression could no longer hold, and his brows furrowed tightly together.
"Quickly, everyone, get into the cabin..."
next second.
With a crisp sound, the golden light shield finally gave way, cracking open and then collapsing like shattered glass.
The artillery fire immediately hit the main body of the ship-shaped shelter, and flames shot up onto the deck. The sea breeze made the smoke even thicker, choking people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
The ship-shaped shelter was very large, with the entire deck capable of accommodating hundreds of people. However, at this moment, the deck of the shelter had been blasted beyond recognition and was shrouded in green corrosive smoke.
Everything on the deck was in complete chaos, and Mei Chuan, Miki, and the others who had just returned to their cabins were coughing violently.
"If this continues, we'll be torn to pieces!"
Miki wiped the ashes splattered on his face and shouted, panting, "We can't hold out much longer! Judging from what we just saw, their firepower completely overwhelmed our defense system! The protective shield is gone!"
Tanaka's expression was cold, his face a mixture of black and gray, making him appear both exhausted and silent. He didn't speak immediately, but instead looked up through the glass at the artillery fire raining down from the sky, his fists clenched tightly.
Miki was so agitated he almost jumped up: "Listen, we have to do something right away. I suggest we sail the ship to the area below the sky island!"
We anchored right below that huge island. Their gunfire wouldn't reach that angle, at least temporarily protecting the ship! If we kept getting hit like that, we wouldn't be able to move!
