Yu
Chapter 1255 I am your Earth Father!
Lu Dong Province in mid-September was still hot.
Shigang, a small county-level city, boasted the largest fishing port in Northern China.
Jiang Xiao was quite familiar with this place.
He once had a college roommate whose hometown was here. During those beautiful, youthful days, that roommate had invited Jiang Xiao to swim in his hometown.
Jiang Xiao had come, or rather, the bait had come.
But he wasn't here to swim, and he didn't see any beautiful ladies in cool clothing, because...
At this moment, Shigang had become one of the frontlines where the Chinese army was garrisoned to defend the land.
The Starfall Seventh Regiment - Dance Soul Regiment, stationed in Lu Dong, received orders from above. Under the leadership of Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue, a group of Yin-Yang Souls, White-Faced Dancers, and Paper-Ink Book Souls came here to garrison along with the main force.
Even calling such a county-level city a "fishing village" wasn't an exaggeration, but it had become an important town garrisoned by the military.
Regarding the ocean... at this time, humanity had almost lost control.
Humans, after all, were land creatures. Even with advanced modern technology, even with some Star Warriors possessing underwater Star Techniques, they were still no match for marine life.
No matter how sophisticated the equipment, no matter how powerful the warships, they all seemed incredibly clumsy to marine creatures.
The battle line had inevitably been pushed to the border between the sea and land.
And this was just China, a China that could quickly gather its forces and focus on defending one side.
Some countries in the world, no matter what kind of crisis they faced, even if it had reached the point of life and death, were always filled with political overtones. Under the constraints of all parties, they could be said to be retreating steadily.
To describe it with the name of a game, it was very apt: Human Fall Flat.
At this moment, in the suburbs of Shigang, a number of rocket launchers were rumbling, carrying out long-range strikes and dense artillery coverage, but they didn't seem to be able to stop the opponent's advance.
Fortunately, the ordinary people here had already been evacuated. All those who remained were soldiers.
The sky was gloomy, with continuous rain.
A thick fog came from the ocean, obscuring people's vision and adding a hint of inner fear to the land.
In a forest near the coastline, the Star Beast army was lined up neatly, without the slightest sound. Even the usually mischievous Paper-Ink Book Souls had faces filled with tension.
Ignorance is bliss.
But at this time, the Paper-Ink Book Souls had already fought three rounds with the ocean side, and they were very clear about the strength of the enemy.
Directly above this forest, Xia Yan, draped in a black cloak, stood in the air, looking distantly at the distant beach and sea.
Her eyes were red, her face gloomy, her eyes sharp, holding a sword in one hand and brushing back her wet, short curly hair with the other.
What had turned a carefree, optimistic, and cheerful sunny girl into this appearance?
It was... life, one after another disappearing life.
Several great battles had gradually turned this girl, who loved to cry and laugh and was lively and cheerful, into what she was now.
Being a general was different from being a small soldier charging into battle.
Xia Yan's responsibility was no longer to capture cities and territories, but to control the overall situation and the entire army.
At this moment, the life of every soldier, whether alive or dead, would be counted on her head.
Such pressure was not something ordinary people could bear.
In a silent forest, two people quickly floated up.
The bait Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan with a worried expression. To be honest, he regretted letting Xia Yan be the main person in charge of the Starfall Army's Seventh Regiment. The pressure on her might be too great.
Han Jiangxue floated to Xia Yan's side and said loudly, "Luan Si issued an order to retreat appropriately. Shigang no longer has ordinary people and has been designated as a combat zone.
As long as we are backed by the ocean, the invaders are equivalent to having a backer. We can lure the enemy inland."
Amidst the sound of artillery fire, the bait Jiang Xiao also shouted loudly, "Luring some marine creatures in, cutting off the connection between amphibious creatures and purely marine creatures, and defeating them one by one. This decision is wise, Xia Yan."
Amidst the rumbling artillery fire, Xia Yan nodded silently, "That's the only way."
Those sharp eyes looked at the beach environment shrouded in mist in the distance.
The naked eye couldn't see anything, but in Xia Yan's domain tear perception, she could discover a large number of figures from the ocean clan.
The Sea Serenity Mist Star Technique could only hide the user's body. Those marine Star Beasts that couldn't use Sea Serenity Mist could still be sensed by Xia Yan's domain tear.
And Xia Yan also discovered the huge blue defensive shield propped up in the shallow sea.
The marine army resisted the dense artillery fire and advanced step by step. Such a scene even made people feel despair.
Compared to the previous three surprise attacks, this time, the other side seemed to be getting serious...
A series of harsh cries from the Wave-Surging clan came, seemingly cheering for the ocean side.
Han Jiangxue quickly ordered the regiment to retreat, and also grabbed Xia Yan's arm, saying, "Let's retreat too! Although we are far from the beach, we will soon be included in the ocean side's range!"
Feeling the fog from the ocean rapidly approaching, Xia Yan suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Xiao, who was beside her, and said, "How is the communication with Pu Pu Whale?"
The bait Jiang Xiao said softly, "Don't make it difficult for it."
After all, Pu Pu Whale was not Buzzing Whale, not a partner who had accompanied Jiang Xiao all the way, but a member who had joined halfway.
Pu Pu Whale had not made a clear statement regarding the battle between humans and the ocean.
One side was Pu Pu Whale's friend, and the other was from its homeland.
Pu Pu Whale was probably also very conflicted at this time, so conflicted that it had already entered a state of "samadhi."
In Han Jiangxue's Sea Ridge Sanctuary, Pu Pu Whale no longer flew or swam, it just quietly lay on the beach, like a stranded whale, motionless.
Jiang Xiao put a hand on Xia Yan's shoulder and said, "I am your superior, Xia Yan.
Any of our previous decisions were made under my affirmation. There is no need to bear it alone.
I know what you're thinking, but retreating doesn't mean giving up, nor does it mean that our previous three battles were in vain.
We are retreating to advance, to better exert our abilities and concentrate our strengths..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bait Jiang Xiao's voice stopped.
At this moment, the main body, which had cut off contact with him early on, suddenly contacted him again!?
After the senses were connected, the bait Jiang Xiao's expression suddenly changed, "Holy crap!?"
How am I so awesome!?
I can actually break through dimensional restrictions!?
Han Jiangxue obviously noticed Jiang Xiao's strangeness and said, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The bait Jiang Xiao: "I..."
Whoosh...
A water tornado pushed up, frantically ravaging everything on the land.
"Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~"
"Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~"
The ubiquitous, rampant, and crazily bulldozing water tornado laid a solid foundation for the landing of marine creatures in the rear.
A series of sounds like "laborer's chants" came from the thick fog.
Under Xia Yan's perception, a group of skeleton sailors, carrying small Sea Serenity boats, were landing on the beach!
This group of pale white skeleton sailors had bone ornaments in the shape of headscarves and hats on their skulls. Six of them formed a group, carrying a small boat and advancing rapidly.
"Buzz..." A strange sound came out, as if from the deepest part of the ocean, but it echoed in everyone's ears.
Xia Yan's expression changed. In her domain tear perception, a huge Sea Serenity warship emerged from the water.
It didn't need the sailors to carry it, it could fly by itself...
Whoosh...
A gust of wind swept across, even dispersing the thick fog. All the artillery fire coming from a distance was blown away by this swirling hurricane and scattered on the earth.
Han Jiangxue hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Stop! Stop attacking!"
Along with the sound of explosions, a huge Sea Serenity warship flew up from the ocean!
Groups of sailors were blown sideways. The small boats that they had just been carrying to land took off with the help of layers of waves and approached the land.
The army was pressing down!
Starfall - Sea Serenity Wind!
Besides this Sea Serenity Wind, there seemed to be... Starfall - Sea Serenity Cannon!
The giant warship, which was more than 300 meters long and 30 meters wide, revealed its true form from the mist and slowly approached.
It was not modern, but more like an old giant ship from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The blue and white sails were somewhat tattered, and some patches could still be vaguely seen, fluttering in the wind.
The next moment, the entire huge ship suddenly had a burst of energy flowing, and then, a huge cannonball was fired!
The giant cannonball emitted amazing energy, and the bright blue light completely lit up the gloomy sky.
The energy cannonball had not yet landed on the ground, but Xia Yan could already imagine the power of the cannonball.
Indeed, the other side was getting serious!
Once, even Jiang Xiao thought that the Sea Serenity Lord with the Starfall - Sea Serenity Ship Star Technique was the master of the deep sea.
Now it seemed that humans were too ignorant.
The Sea Serenity Lord was just a higher-level existence than those Sea Serenity skeleton sailors, but it was not the real overlord of the deep sea...
In the past month, the land side could still fight back and forth with the ocean side, but now... the other side was using its ultimate weapon!
For a time, those Platinum and Diamond-level Yin-Yang Souls and White-Faced Dancers became useless on this level of battlefield.
Looking at the position where the giant energy cannonball was bombing, it was obviously the forest where the Dance Soul Regiment was located!
Run!?
This time, they couldn't even run, the cannonball was too fast!
"Dance Soul, attack the cannonball!" Xia Yan decisively shouted in a delicate voice.
In an instant, the rapidly retreating Yin-Yang Souls all lowered their stances and punched out, and countless Yin Soul Impacts were pushed into the sky!
The Paper-Ink Book Souls were covered in paper, and a series of exploding paper flew out, bombing the huge energy cannonball.
Xia Yan floated in the air, watching the rapidly approaching giant cannonball, and hurriedly slashed out sword after sword, and small hidden dragons rushed out with their teeth and claws.
Han Jiangxue tried hard to cut the back row, and texts of Universal Peace were thrown out one by one, but the opponent's purification Star Techniques were terrifyingly strong.
The bait Jiang Xiao hurriedly put Holy Crosses on the two, and at this moment.
"Rumble..."
Under the full blow of the regiment, the giant energy cannon exploded!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The huge air wave blew the trees on the island apart, and even the Star Beast army in the forest was blown sideways by this air wave, and the formation was in chaos.
"Buzz..."
The attack from the Sea Serenity warship continued.
The next moment, everyone despaired.
They had tried their best to block the opponent's attack, and now they were knocked to the ground by the air wave and could not form an effective defensive posture, but the opponent's cannonball was coming again...
Xia Yan's face was terrified, and she frantically slashed out sword after sword, and small hidden dragons rushed towards the giant cannonball.
"Hiss..." A dragon's roar exploded, and a Star Dragon with a dazzling skin floated out from the top of Han Jiangxue's head. The next moment, countless star rain fell and smashed towards the beach.
"Oh~~ Ro Ro Ro Ro Ro~~" A strange roar came from the mouth of the Sea Serenity Lord. This group of skeleton Sea Serenity Lords had only occasionally appeared in the first three battles, but at this time... their numbers were all over the beach!
"Buzz!!!"
"Buzz!!!"
One after another Starfall - Sea Serenity Ship rushed out, bulldozing everything on the island, and also rushing towards the huge Star Dragon with a huge target.
The bait Jiang Xiao hurriedly put a Holy Cross on the Star Dragon, and also watched helplessly as the Sea Serenity ships rolled over the Star Dragon's body...
Xia Yan floated in the air, curled up, enduring the huge waves.
The booming energy cannonball exploded with an amazing Star Power air wave, impacting her body.
Xia Yan wore a Holy Cross, and although Star Power and Star Techniques could not harm Xia Yan, the pure wind could blow her sideways.
"Damn it!" Xia Yan said a swear word, which was very rare. She turned her head abruptly, and the wind blew away Xia Yan's wet short hair, revealing her amazingly charming face.
In front of her, a large sword Star Chart suddenly lit up.
Come!
Let's fight to the death!
Swish...
The next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan's face froze, and she shouted angrily, "What are you doing up here? Go down and hide!"
Although everyone had Holy Crosses, Xia Yan still hoped that Jiang Xiao would be behind her, or hidden in a safe place.
Jiang Xiao said, "Transforming stars into weapons and summoning a large sword will also put you to sleep."
Xia Yan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and said, "I have to smash that giant ship! Otherwise, this land will not be able to withstand it."
Saying that, Xia Yan grabbed Jiang Xiao's arm and directly pulled him around, blocking him behind her, and slashed out with another sword.
In front of her, the Sea Serenity warship seemed to have confronted Xia Yan, and a cannonball was fired at Xia Yan in the air again.
It really was like using a cannon to bomb a mosquito.
Swish...
Just when Xia Yan stabbed out a hidden dragon with a sword, a space door suddenly opened 20 meters in front of her.
A huge, sky-covering space door!
Hundreds of meters long!
Xia Yan's body trembled slightly, and the small hidden dragon rushed into the space door in one go, and the rapidly shooting giant energy cannonball also "swooshed" into the space door without causing any waves.
Xia Yan turned her head abruptly and looked at Jiang Xiao behind her in a daze. It took a full second before she stuttered and asked, "Main... Main body?"
Jiang Xiao nodded lightly.
In the domain tear field, Xia Yan's eyes were already red, and at this time, the mist rising in her eyes was even more dense.
It was like a strong but fragile adult.
When alone outside, facing everything, this adult was invulnerable and so strong.
But after returning home, when she saw her closest and dearest person, the grievances in her heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, and the surging emotions made her extremely fragile.
Xia Yan bit her lip tightly: "You still know to come back..."
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened!
Her sight moved to behind Jiang Xiao.
That seemed to be a huge foot, a strange foot made of human flesh and blood, mixed with rocks and soil.
One foot?
Where was the other one?
Where?
Xia Yan's sight kept moving up, and she kept looking up, even to the point where her head was tilted 90 degrees, but she still couldn't see what that towering thing was.
And at this moment, in the layers of clouds, a huge palm actually tore through the dark clouds!
It fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the Sea Serenity warship flying in the sky!
Rumble...
The warship shattered and exploded!
The huge palm slammed heavily on the beach, smashing a group of skeletons and crushing one ship after another.
In an instant...
A gust of wind rose sharply, and the air waves spread out!
The waves surged, and the earth shook!
In the sky, above the layers of dark clouds, a face slowly probed down.
A face... of stone and soil mixed with flesh and blood skin.
For Xia Yan, it was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
This was... Jiang Xiao!?
"Ah?" Xia Yan couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her heart trembling violently, and looked up in shock at the face that broke through the clouds.
They had agreed to look up at the stars together, why had he secretly become a god?
The sky-covering face stared at the forest and the beach below, and suddenly spoke.
The voice seemed to come from the sky, mighty and vast, spreading out,
"Ocean overlords, hello, welcome to the land..." The voice resounding through the sky was like stones rubbing together, a bit harsh, but incomparably majestic.
The next moment,
In the forest, patches of trees grew wildly, and ordinary trees turned into flexible giant vines, spreading towards the beach and whipping wildly.
Rumble...
The earth tore apart, and cracks that were torn out turned into abysses, accepting countless marine creatures that fell into them, and then, the cracks quickly closed.
In the process of the earth's violent shaking, sand snakes and mud snakes rose together, rolling sand, soil, mud, and stones, forming vortices and evolving into various natural disasters, exploding from the beach.
In the dark clouds, the mysterious and huge face silently watched everything that was happening below and hissed, "I am your Land Daddy."
