Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1294 - 1291: Assault of the Serpent Horde
The massive cruise ship had already turned around when Tian Yu issued the command, attempting to avoid the herd of ancient demon beasts.
However, the cruise ship was only powered by a steam engine, and its propulsion was clearly insufficient. Even with nuclear power, a ship so large would need some time to turn around.
But those demon beasts were incredibly fast and were already close to the cruise ship.
The people of Heaven knew well that the cruise ship probably couldn’t evade the attack of the demon beasts and serpents.
"Defend!"
"Prepare for battle!"
"Monica, find a way to tame that giant Hook Snake. It’s the leader of this group of Roaring Snakes."
Everyone was exclaiming in shock. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Although Monica’s Charming Eye had strong taming abilities over demon beasts whose Spiritual Wisdom Souls weren’t powerful enough, facing a colossal Hook Snake that was already dozens of feet tall just by exposing half its body, she felt unprecedented fear inside.
"I will protect you by your side. You must control that Hook Snake with all your might, or we’re all done for." Tian Yu noticed Monica trembling and quickly reminded her in a confident voice.
At the same time, the Ink Jade Ring in Tian Yu’s hand activated, forming a Space Barrier around his body, wrapping Monica within it.
Monica’s heart suddenly settled.
Her beautiful blue eyes stared directly at the approaching giant Hook Snake, searching for its eyes. Her Charming Eye was ready to activate at any moment, aiming to control the Hook Snake.
In the vast ocean, the huge cruise ship quickly tried to dodge to one side.
However, the swarm of serpents in the deep sea surged forward like an overwhelming tide at an astonishing speed.
About a hundred meters away, the Hook Snake suddenly stopped.
Yet the group of Roaring Snakes maddeningly swarmed toward the cruise ship.
These ancient strange beasts emitted a clanging sound from their mouths, as if carrying some ancient magic, shaking the minds of those who heard it.
"Maintain your state of mind! The sound of these Roaring Snakes has a certain disrupting effect on the Divine Soul, don’t get entranced," Hughes shouted loudly.
As he spoke, countless Roaring Snakes shot out of the sea, attacking the people of Heaven on the cruise ship deck.
The shortest Roaring Snakes were five or six meters long, while some of the longer ones reached eight or nine meters, or even ten meters.
Though their bodies were slender and didn’t seem to exert much pressure on humans, the sheer number of these strange serpents was overwhelming. Moreover, they had wings and could fly; each Roaring Snake was like a massive snake arrow, emitting a clanging sound as their scarlet forked tongues flicked out, their wide-open mouths flashing two rows of poisonous fangs with a sinister blue luster, causing chills to run down one’s spine.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
The cannons on the cruise ship fired madly, and in the space dozens of meters away, the flying Roaring Snakes had never seen such cannon fire before. Yet they were utterly fearless, charging directly onward.
With the sound of explosions, segments of Roaring Snakes were blown to pieces by the exploding shells, and the sea breeze soon carried a nauseating stench.
"Just as well, these small snakes aren’t very strong."
The people of Heaven felt reassured.
The first wave of airborne Roaring Snakes was largely exterminated by the cannon fire; however, there were still a few Roaring Snakes that made it above the deck, attacking the people below.
Klein wielded his Cross Longsword, and amidst the shining sword light, three Roaring Snakes were sliced by his Fast Sword.
The Beastified Blood Wolf directly grabbed two Roaring Snakes and tore them into pieces.
Hughes, Pudis, Tian Yu, and other Heaven strongmen all took action, each with some kill to their name.
The first wave of Roaring Snake attacks was quickly repelled.
But before they could catch their breath, they heard the continuous sounds of water ahead, with tens of thousands of Roaring Snakes flying in.
There were too many!
Once any organism reaches a certain critical number and gathers together, it forms a terrifying spectacle.
Tian Yu was serious, holding the Ink Jade Ring in front of him and invoking Divine Arts. A dazzling silver-white light suddenly gathered, and a silver light shield instantly enveloped the Roaring Snakes.
Sizzle...
This silver-white light seemed to contain some kind of scorching high temperature or special energy, inflicting massive damage on the Roaring Snakes. Many Roaring Snakes had their skins ripped apart with cries of anguish; some even had their wings instantly charred, and the top layer of Roaring Snakes was significantly hurt, tumbling into the sea below.
However, the lower-layer Roaring Snakes, shielded by the flying snakes above them, quickly reached the space above the cruise ship deck due to a momentary gap in the light.
At this moment, the Divine Arts light that Tian Yu released had already weakened and dissipated, unable to inflict further damage on them.
And with just this one casting of Divine Arts, Tian Yu’s forehead was already beaded with sweat.
This large-scale group attack method was indeed powerful, but it consumed a tremendous amount of his Divine Power.
The Blood Wolf roared, swinging its massive arms to crush and shred the oncoming Roaring Snakes.
Klein’s sword swung impenetrably, turning the area in front of him into a no-mans-land that the swarm of snakes could not cross.
Other than the dozen top strongmen of Heaven, there were also many Western Cultivators on the cruise. They all gathered to face the Roaring Snakes; their strength, equivalent to Innate Realm combat power before the catastrophe, was even stronger. In single combat with one or even two Roaring Snakes, they stood a chance, but the sheer number of Snakes quickly left them overwhelmed.
From time to time, screams erupted from these Western Cultivators.
Some were ambushed and bitten by the Roaring Snakes, immediately succumbing to the venom, their bodies convulsing and collapsing.
Some reacted swiftly, cruelly cutting off the bitten part for a desperate chance at survival.
Some were constricted by the long bodies of the Roaring Snakes. Under the immense crushing power of the ancient demon beasts, even cultivators of Innate combat power had their bones cracked on the spot.
Fortunately, the Deep Sea Strange Beasts controlled by Monica possessed formidable fighting capabilities. In the face of the Roaring Snakes’ onslaught, the combat strength of these nine strange beasts was incredibly strong, greatly protecting the people on deck.
Monica, safeguarded by Tian Yu, attempted to control the Roaring Snakes ahead, only to be shocked to find that their Conscious Souls seemed chaotic and obscure, likely manipulated by another ancient and powerful will.
Fixing her attention on one Roaring Snake, she indeed discovered that its will was driven by another powerful command, causing her to look toward the far-off giant Hook Snake in alarm.
It was indeed that Hook Snake!
Its will was so powerful that it could control thousands of Roaring Snakes!
This...
Monica felt a chill down her spine, instinctively giving rise to a sense of fear.
The power of the Hook Snake was beyond her expectations; its Spiritual Wisdom Soul must be incredibly strong. Would her Charming Eye still be effective against it?
If not, it’s likely that the Western Cultivators would all perish in the bellies of these demon beasts and serpents today.
But, even if it’s futile, it’s worth a try.
Monica heard the continuous screams from behind and her eyes flashed with determination as she turned to Tian Yu, "Great Priest, send me over there."
