Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1530 - 640: Total Annihilation_2
Chapter 1530: Chapter 640: Total Annihilation_2
Soon, Jiang Shixue would be able to use [Marionette] again.
Roar——
As expected, the fifth and sixth sea beasts started fighting each other too.
People on the shore far away dared not even blink, witnessing such a battle between Disaster-level creatures for the first time, they all exclaimed that their journey was worthwhile.
It must be said, these sea beasts’ attacks were truly fierce, and they were out for the kill, as if they were determined to devour each other, with wounds all over their bodies and the waters in the rifts dyed red with blood.
While entangled with other sea beasts, Wang Tao watched the fight with eager eyes.
As long as he held on a little longer, once Jiang Shixue took control of these beasts, their death was certain.
However, Wang Tao suddenly furrowed his brows.
His gaze immediately turned towards the first two beasts that began the battle; they were both severely wounded. But among them, only one beast’s aura was weak, while the aura of the other beast... it had grown stronger!
Its HP hadn’t changed much, but its aura had gained considerable strength!
This realization made Wang Tao’s expression drastically change.
"These sea beasts can enhance their strength by devouring each other?!"
No wonder they fight to the death once they start; this is the reason! Besides being simple-minded, they also have an instinct to enhance their powers!
But now the problem is, they are already at Disaster Level 6, so if they enhance further, would it be Seventh-tier Calamity Level or Sixth-Rank Destruction Level?
Either way, it seems like they were not something the current Wang Tao could handle.
"These sea beasts can grow stronger by devoring each other! We can’t let them continue fighting, we need to step in too!"
Wang Tao immediately shared this discovery with the rest, and everyone was immediately stricken with horror.
Lucky Wang Tao noticed, if they were to wait until the sea beasts ascended, it would be too late. The Seventh Level of disaster, that was not something they could deal with!
"Kill!"
Everyone immediately launched an attack on the sea beasts that had grown stronger.
As long as they prevented the weaker sea beasts from dying at the hands of the stronger ones and kept a balance, these sea beasts shouldn’t be able to advance anymore.
The sea beasts were fighting fiercely, but when Wang Tao and his companions suddenly intervened, one of the disadvantaged beasts immediately got a respite. However, they didn’t show any gratitude and opened their mouths wide at Wang Tao and the others instead.
Wang Tao and the others immediately took to the skies. After losing their target, the disadvantaged beast roared towards the sky, and then it continued its attack on the beast it had just been fighting. However, since its tail had accidentally sent another beast that was not involved in the infighting flying away, the other beast roared and joined the fray as well.
Instantly, the previously disadvantaged beast found itself under attack from two other beasts and Wang Tao’s group, utterly fearless of death.
"...Madness!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat speechless.
These sea beasts really did not fear death, as if one beast wanted to challenge all the other creatures present by itself?
The situation became more chaotic in an instant, and people were having trouble differentiating the beasts.
Wang Tao could see very clearly and immediately led everyone to attack the sea beasts whose auras had obviously grown stronger.
"I’m ready!"
At this moment, Jiang Shixue gained control over another sea beast and made it bite one of its companions, sparking another round of internal fighting.
These sea beasts were highly irritable, and they didn’t even need Jiang Shixue to make a move. As long as other beasts accidentally attacked them, they would abandon Wang Tao and others and immediately retaliate against the attacking beast.
The scene grew even more chaotic, and onlookers on the shore kept moving back.
Although the battlefield was chaotic, under Wang Tao’s direction, those sea beasts with stronger auras would inevitably face encirclement by Wang Tao or other sea beasts. They would not be allowed to ascend so easily.
Although Wang Tao was not sure whether devouring their own kind would allow them to ascend, he could not afford to take that gamble.
Finally, Jiang Shixue took control of the last sea beast, making it bite its companion. The companion fought back, and both engaged in battle.
With this, all 14 Disaster Level 6 sea beasts began fighting among themselves.
The earth shook, and the seas boiled.
People on the ground had moved far away, only Wang Tao’s group remained.
Everyone, including Wang Tao, was sweating profusely.
Fighting in such a chaotic situation was no easy task; a sea beast could swallow them whole if they were not careful. Although the beasts were engaged in internal conflict, they were not averse to an extra meal.
Even now, as all the sea monsters were caught up in a civil war, Wang Tao and his team couldn’t rest. They had to ensure no sea beast fed on its kin to become stronger, while also gradually starting to hunt them down.
Wang Tao looked around and charged straight towards the one with the least HP.
This sea beast was quite unlucky; it was attacked by three other beasts amidst the chaos of the battle.
Although it had a strong constitution and some blood regeneration ability, which kept it from dying, its condition was already dire. It had only two hundred thousand blood volume left and couldn’t withstand many more attacks.
However, it had no intention of fleeing. Its eyes were still fiercely glowing as it charged at another severely wounded sea beast.
But suddenly, a crimson gleam struck its body.
"Roar~"
The sea beast let out a reluctant roar as the green light in its eyes began to dissipate. Its entire body started sinking beneath the water.
"Lucky break."
Wang Tao instinctively collected the spoils of war, and to his surprise, he hadn’t expected that his strike, which activated [Curse: Slaying], would instantly kill a sea beast with two hundred thousand HP remaining.
The death of this sea beast immediately made the others even more frenzied.
They didn’t care about fighting anymore and immediately swam towards the location where the sea beast had died, clearly intending to devour its corpse.
But the Golden Eagle had already flown over in advance. On its back, Lightning’s mouth gaped open like a black hole, seemingly bottomless.
At a certain distance from the sea beast’s corpse, the body was suddenly yanked out of the water by an invisible force and shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it entered Lightning’s mouth.
Only a large pool of blood remained in place, provoking the anger of the other sea beasts. Then... as they watched the Golden Eagle fly high into the sky, they helplessly resumed fighting each other.
"Woof!"
Lightning immediately sought credit from Wang Tao, indicating that the corpse was stored in its mouth.
It could now store a large number of corpses in its mouth, but digesting them would take some time. Since these sea beasts were newly emerged monsters, Wang Tao didn’t let Lightning consume them, planning to take them back for research first.
"Good job!" On the back of the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao patted Lightning’s head, then pointed to another wounded sea beast, "Our next target is that one!"
Wang Tao quickly recharged his wings with the Crystal Core during this time, and once fully charged, he flew toward the second target with the Golden Eagle.
A moment later, the second sea beast died.
The water below became even redder, and the remaining sea beasts grew more frantic.
Unfortunately for them, they failed to grab the corpses and had to continue their brutal infighting.
Following the same strategy, one sea beast after another kept dying, and the pressure on Wang Tao and his team decreased more and more.
When only a few sea beasts were left, Wang Tao felt barely any pressure.
Although these sea beasts were Sixth Rank Disasters, perhaps due to being away from the water, their disastrous awakening was not as strong as those of terrestrial a Disaster-level creature; at best, they were on par with Level 5, posing naturally no threat to Wang Tao.
This meant that these Catastrophic Sea Monsters were missing their most powerful trump card.
Moreover, as they continuously fought each other, and with over a dozen Sixth Rank Awakeners on Wang Tao’s side, the pressure was essentially gone.
All they needed to do was to watch for sea beasts near death and deliver the final blow.
"These sea beasts aren’t as strong as I thought they’d be!"
After Wang Tao finally killed the last sea beast, Xiang Hongbin breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed heartily, feeling triumphant.
Cheng Yiyi smiled and shook her head beside him. The battle had been fraught with danger, but had it not been for Jiang Shixue causing the sea beasts to fight among themselves, and Wang Tao’s quick action pushing people away, they would have likely lost many lives and would not have been able to kill these beasts...
Regardless, the outcome was good, and that was enough. She did not say much more.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Tao glanced again at the seawater below.
By now, the water from the rift had turned into a vast blood pool, and the strong scent of blood made Wang Tao frown.
"Will this blood draw more sea beasts... Forget it, let’s head back first."
Wang Tao called for everyone to leave the area quickly.
