Chapter 1732 Water Rose's Power

"Retreat! All ships keep their distance and break through with all their might! We can't let them get close!" Qing Huang commanded urgently, watching the Bronze and Mysterious-Iron ranked speedboats rapidly approaching.

The ships' attack cooldowns were very long. Dealing with sea beasts was one thing, but dealing with players was different. The ships' attacks were rigid, and the preparation time was long, making them easy for expert players to evade. Once players got close, the ships couldn't exert any power, and they would have to rely on player-versus-player combat.

Their Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had received information that Miracle Guild had obtained a secret maritime inheritance, nurturing a group of specialized maritime combat experts.

The legion commanded by Lie Huang was likely the maritime experts cultivated by Miracle Guild. Otherwise, they wouldn't choose to waste time on player combat, risking being hit to get close. They could just bombard them with cannons, which would be safer and easier, even if it caused some damage to the ships.

Under Qing Huang's command, all the ships maintained their distance while attacking.

For a time, the Water Ghost Legion's speedboats couldn't get close at all.

"What a bunch of mudskippers, they're really good at running away!"

Every time they were about to get close, Qing Huang and the others would aim and attack the moment the speedboats charged, forcing the Water Ghosts' speedboats to slow down and turn, causing the distance they closed to be widened again.

"Run? You can run all you want! I've already set up a magic barrier around this area. None of you will leave alive!" Standing on the giant crocodile warship, Lie Huang roared, watching the distance that couldn't be closed, "Activate the magic array!"

As Lie Huang gave the order, ice walls appeared on the sea, completely surrounding Qing Huang and Shi Feng's ships. The ice walls were over ten meters high and several meters thick, and they were constantly spreading outwards, making it impossible for the ships to break through.

"Icy River Lockdown?" Shi Feng looked at the huge ice walls forming in the distance, quite a spectacular sight.

Icy River Lockdown was a rare magic item for sealing ships in maritime combat, but it was very difficult to obtain. It required a hundred Icy River Orbs to activate, and each activation consumed as many as ten thousand magic crystals. It covered a range of 5,000 yards in radius and could lock down the area for half an hour.

Only Mithril-ranked or higher sailing ships or Mysterious-Iron-ranked or higher warships could break through it.

"All ships concentrate, remember not to engage them alone, ensure at least two people are together!" Qing Huang knew they couldn't escape. They had been forced into a corner. All they could do now was concentrate their forces and fight. There was no other way.

Moreover, you couldn't use Return Scrolls on the ships. You had to jump into the sea to use them, but the Return Scrolls took too long to read, making it easy for Miracle Guild's ships to hit you, resulting in instant death.

The only option was to fight to the death!

"Black Flame Guild Leader, I'm really sorry, we asked for your help, but ended up dragging you into this." Qing Huang looked at Black Flame with an apologetic expression, "Later, we'll hold back Miracle, you find a way to recover some of the ships, then cross the ice walls and escape with the ships. They shouldn't be able to catch you."

As she spoke, Qing Huang organized the fleet to form a defensive net, separating Miracle and Zero Wing, so that if Miracle wanted to deal with Zero Wing, they would have to go through them first.

"You think our Water Ghost Legion will let you protect the Zero Wing people and escape?" A level 57, Tier 2 captain of the Water Ghost Legion sneered, "A guild that doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth dares to interfere in the battle on Thunder Island. Use Teleportation Scrolls to break through the defensive net and prioritize killing everyone in Zero Wing! Let's see what their backer, Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, can do!"

As he spoke, a hundred-man team from the Water Ghost Legion came to a place not far from Qing Huang's ships and directly used Teleportation Scrolls.

In an instant, they broke through the defensive net set up by Qing Huang and appeared on Zero Wing's ships. They all drew their weapons, revealing ferocious expressions. The leading Tier 2 captain drew a blood-stained warblade from behind him. The warblade had a layer of faint water vapor, which was the power manifested from obtaining the maritime inheritance.

Tier 2 passive skill, Water Flow Blade!

As long as the player was in a sea area, it could increase their strength by 30%, increase attack speed by 40%, and increase attack distance by 50%, which was equivalent to a player directly activating a small burst skill.

"Your Zero Wing Guild's friendship game ends here. Who wants to be the first to die?" Holding up his warblade, the Tier 2 Berserker captain named Niu Gui glanced at the Zero Wing members present and sneered.

Just as the Water Ghost Legion members were thinking of seeing Captain Niu Gui's killing skills and preparing to shout and cheer,

A faint blue light flashed. Suddenly, everyone saw the space around Captain Niu Gui distort. Captain Niu Gui's tall and mighty upper body seemed unable to support itself and split in two, falling directly into the sea, disappearing from everyone's sight along with the splashing waves.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be frozen, and everything fell into silence. The members of the Water Ghost Legion standing on the deck couldn't say a word, staring blankly at Captain Niu Gui without his upper body, stunned like wooden chickens.

Even Captain Niu Gui's proud level 50 Fine-Gold armor seemed to have been cut open by a divine weapon. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, followed by a pillar of blood spurting out, directly dyeing the entire deck red.

"Enough nonsense, didn't you want to fight? Let's all go together!" At this time, Aqua Rose, wearing a dark blue mage robe and holding an ice-blue crystal staff, retracted her casting jade hand, her expression very indifferent.

"Captain Niu Gui was instantly killed?!"

"Is that woman a monster? I didn't even see her cast a spell, how could she use such a powerful magic?"

"Everyone, don't be afraid! That kind of magic must be a kill skill, it's impossible to use it multiple times in a short period of time, and even if she is a monster, this is the sea, our territory with the maritime inheritance. How could we lose to her if we join forces?"

"That's right! Even a monster can't be our opponent at sea!"

"Kill! Let them know the terror of our Water Ghost Legion!"

Everyone present was an expert from the Miracle Guild, and they were elites among experts who had been selected to receive the maritime inheritance. They might be nothing in other places, but at sea, they were confident that they could compete with those top experts.

As they spoke, more than a dozen ranged players launched attacks on Aqua Rose.

Arrows and magic missiles smashed towards Aqua Rose. The power of these arrows and magic missiles was at the peak of Tier 2. Even a Tier 2 MT would have a hard time withstanding them, let alone a magic class. If hit, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

The dozen or so melee classes around her also went around to Aqua Rose's sides. As long as Aqua Rose started dodging the ranged attacks, she would definitely expose an opening, and they would take the opportunity to kill Aqua Rose.

However, Aqua Rose still stood there motionless, quietly watching the flying arrows and magic missiles.

"Does she want to die?"

"Doesn't she know that these magic arrows have all been enhanced by the power of the sea?"

Just as the melee fighters rushing up were curious why Aqua Rose wasn't dodging, the arrows and magic missiles disappeared less than half a yard away from Aqua Rose, as if they had been swallowed by something.

"Magic Barrier?"

"How is that possible? Those are magic arrow attacks with Tier 2 peak power. Even a Tier 2 magic barrier couldn't withstand so many attacks without anything happening!"

Just as the members of the Water Ghost Legion were surprised at what was happening, the staff in Aqua Rose's hand trembled slightly. Suddenly, the water barrier became higher and higher, becoming a giant wave more than ten meters high, turning into a shark that directly swallowed all the members of the Water Ghost Legion standing on the deck.

The Tier 2 MTs had no resistance in front of the giant wave. After being swallowed by the giant wave, their health points were completely reduced to zero in less than a second or two.

In an instant, dozens of members of the Water Ghost Legion on the deck of the Unicorn Sailboat were killed, and a pile of weapons and equipment fell on the deck...
