Chapter 337 - 163: One Man Defends a Nation, Major Level Up
But the river was connected to the sea. After a few seconds of trying, Shen Fei realized he couldn’t possibly drain all the water, because the sea would replenish it instantly.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
After testing Ten Thousand Arrows Fired Simultaneously, Laser Scanning, and Ice Sprint in quick succession, Shen Fei found that, just like Sun Wukong who was helpless against water, he was at a bit of a disadvantage against the three monster waves underwater.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t stop the monster waves. Rather, he could only kill the monsters passively. Unlike the monster waves on land, he couldn’t just block them at their spawn point.
There were indeed players by his side who had inherited aquatic abilities, but he’d heard that any Detection devices or items placed in the water were instantly destroyed. Furthermore, players who entered the sea would quickly lose contact and die. Shen Fei hadn’t sent anyone to take that risk.
The planet had expanded by several dozen times, perhaps even close to a hundredfold. The oceans, which originally covered seventy percent of the planet, had now expanded to a volume most people couldn’t even imagine.
Shen Fei, of course, knew the sea held mysteries. But he hadn’t expected the first problem he’d encounter would be a lack of visibility.
BOOM!
Just as Shen Fei was forced into a passive defense, a sudden, loud crash echoed out. He saw that the massive block of ice he had used to freeze the river was being rammed repeatedly. Within a few seconds, the huge chunk of ice was smashed open. The aquatic monsters that had been held back instantly pushed aside the shattered ice and continued their charge toward Ye City.
"Unicorns?"
"They’re this big?"
He operated the Fish Net Tower, scooping up the entire monster wave near the ice. Then, Shen Fei saw it. The thing that had shattered the ice was a creature fifty to sixty meters long. It had a single horn on its head that was over ten meters long and nearly half a meter thick.
No matter how Shen Fei looked at it, he felt that this thing wasn’t inherited from the game. It was one of the planet’s original Unicorns, now mutated.
CRACK!
With the ice broken open, the only thing Shen Fei could do was freeze it again.
At this moment, he actually had another method.
Poison.
He could unleash the super-potent toxins from a poison Defense Tower into the river section ahead. He could create a toxic stretch of river over ten kilometers long, causing any monster wave that entered it to die instantly.
However, worried about the impact on the environment around Ye City, Shen Fei didn’t rush to do so. After saying a few words to the people from Qing City, the Divine Capital, and other places, Shen Fei focused his attention on the river.
This is a rare opportunity to have large-scale contact with aquatic creatures. It’s the perfect time to collect data.
He had heard that many players who inherited warship fleets had placed their inherited warships directly into the sea, only for the fleets to be completely wiped out and vanish without a trace after a single night.
At the time, Shen Fei hadn’t paid much attention to this news. Now, however, seeing this strange body of water that could block any form of scouting, his thoughts began to wander far. He even started to recall all the legends about the ocean from his past life.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit! No wonder the Immortal Emperor said not to worry about Ye City because the Cyan God would help!"
"Damn! He’s that strong?!"
"I can’t believe it! Is he even human?!"
"How can anyone be this powerful?!"
"Fuck, I’ll never dare say the Immortal Court is the number one organization in the Great Xia again!"
"Holy shit, no wonder Brother Zhao Li never called himself the best in the Great Xia..."
While Shen Fei focused on the river, the players in Ye City not far behind him were all stunned speechless.
When Zhao Li was "detained," they thought Ye City was finished, that it could never withstand ten monster waves. Then, they saw what Zhao Li had mentioned—the Cyan God from Qing City came, gave a few instructions, and left.
When the monster waves began, the players of Ye City all held their breath, eager to see how this Cyan God would save their city.
And today, they truly saw it all.
They saw what true power was, what it meant to be Invincible.
In their minds, the Immortal Emperor, Zhao Li, was already incredibly powerful. But then they saw Shen Fei. With just a single Defense Tower, he summoned a massive sword thousands of kilometers long that plunged into the river, stirring up the three monster waves spawning there.
All of them, the core members of the Immortal Court who had been fixated on the idea that the Immortal Emperor was the strongest, had their entire worldview shattered.
Before the Cyan God, their Zhao Li really couldn’t even compare...
Besides, the method they had always imagined the Immortal Emperor Zhao Li using to stop monster waves was just controlling his Flying Sword to zip around the world, slaying monsters. Now, they had witnessed the Cyan God from Qing City use a single Defense Tower to unleash an even more powerful Ancient Bronze Sword.
The two of them were not in the same league at all.
Only by seeing Shen Fei’s combat abilities with their own eyes, right here and now, did they finally understand. They understood why Zhao Li had told them not to worry when he was "detained." With the Cyan God’s help, they truly didn’t need to worry about the monster waves.
SPLASH.
SPLASH.
SPLASH.
Shen Fei made his move, instantly holding back the ten monster waves besieging Songhai. The players of Songhai were all aghast.
This scene was being broadcast live by the players from Songhai’s Tourism Management Office.
Matching the shock of the players in Songhai, those watching the livestreams online were also stunned. A moment ago, back in Qing City, Shen Fei had launched an initial salvo and then stopped. When the livestream from Qing City went up, what everyone saw were the Tower Masters of Qing City’s Heaven-Reaching Gang defending against the monster waves.
