Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 302
Chapter 302: Barrage of Ship Cannons
“There are a lot of Extraordinary Magma Monsters, at least 350 of them!
“About fifty are stronger than Extraordinary Rank-5, and the two strongest are Extraordinary Rank-8.”
Elder Meng looked at the Magma Island from the Mirage Dragon Warship with the glow of talent skill flashing in his eyes.
It was Aura Observation, a Superior talent skill that could acquire the general information of a settlement, such as the settlement level and the strength of its members, by observing its power of providence.
“So many?”
Shi Shugang, who stood next to him to protect his safety, was slightly surprised.
“Well, it does make sense.”
Guo Wei, who had added infrared lenses to his high-tech glasses, nodded as if he had seen it coming.
Unlike the Twin Dragon Island, the Magma Monsters had been focused on strengthening themselves.
To them, few resources in the alien settlements that they destroyed were useful except for those related to magma and fire.
So, most of the resources were transformed into “magma”, which was necessary for their growth, through the settlement core.
Therefore, even though their settlement level was far lower than the Twin Dragon Island, they had as many Extraordinary warriors as the Twin Dragon Island did.
However, as a civilization that wasn’t fully devoted to personal cultivation, the Twin Dragon Island had its own advantages.
For example, there were ten cannons on the Mirage Dragon Warship that could pose a threat to those above Extraordinary Rank-7, and they could be controlled by Ordinary new players!
“Fire…”
Ruan Xiaoqi, who was holding a telescope made of Diamond Glass, gave a command as the deputy commander of the navy.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The ten cannons made of Ameagle structures opened fire at the same time from the Mirage Dragon Warship.
The cannonballs, which were made of Wind Bones and could significantly increase the precision and range of shooting, went straight at the formation of the Magma Monsters.
Boom, boom, boom…
Following that, a series of explosions burst out. The black cannons in the shape of palaces, fortresses, and demon mouths were all collapsed under the bombardment.
[“You have killed a Magma Monster (Extraordinary Rank-1, Elite). EXP gained: 530. Honor gained: 10!”]
[“You have killed a Magma Monster (Extraordinary Rank-2, Quasi-Commander). EXP gained…”]
[“You have killed a Magma Monster…”]
The Fire Cores of the Magma Monsters couldn’t be completely hidden below the ground when they were controlling the cannons.
Therefore, there were casualties on the Magma Monsters’ side despite the coverage of the cannons and magma.
In particular, the cannonballs were made with Wind Bones and Sea Stones as the core materials. Their shrapnel contained Battle Aura and Power of Sea Water, which were highly destructive to the Magma Monsters’ Fire Cores.
At least, the low-level Extraordinary Magma Monsters couldn’t stand them at all!
“Is it really something that human beings can control?”
Pei Xingnu, who had been observing everything, could hardly close her mouth.
After she came back to herself from her shock, Pei Xingnu hurriedly reminded them.
“However, after killing those Magma Monsters, if the pieces of their Fire Cores aren’t taken right away, the Ordinary Magma Monsters can inherit their compatriots’ legacy by absorbing the Fire Cores to advance into Extraordinary!”
That was also an advantage of the Magma Monsters that many other species didn’t have.
Ji Ye saw that. Although a cannon that looked like a gigantic beehive had been hit and destroyed by the cannonball of Wind Bones and Sea Stones from the Twin Dragon Mount fort, another black cannon in the shape of a horn was established right at the same place after a while.
On the other hand, while the cannons of some powerful Extraordinary Magma Monsters were destroyed, their cores weren’t hit by the shrapnel of the Wind Bones. Some were hit, but their cores were strong enough to take the damage.
After dispelling the influence of the Sea Stones with their own power, they were able to condense their cannons very soon again.
Although the cannonballs from the Twin Dragon Island had high precision, it was impossible to lock onto the Fire Cores that were hidden inside the cannons even with the infrared glasses.
As for the hot airwaves that could’ve been fatal to other creatures when the cannonballs exploded, they meant nothing to the Magma Monsters.
Therefore, although the bombardment looked rather splendid, not too many Magma Monsters were really killed.
Furthermore, after several rounds of barrages, the number of cannons on the Magma Monsters’ side actually increased.
Also, a lot of cannons moved towards the Mirage Dragon Warship, hoping to reduce the distance between them so that they could counterattack!
While the cannons from the warship weren’t fatal, their range was twice as those of the Magma Monsters thanks to the Wind Bones.
As a result, the black balls that the Magma Monsters launched all fell into the seawater in front of the Mirage Dragon Warship.
Faced with the bombardment, the Magma Monsters could’ve considered retreating and getting out of the Mirage Dragon Warship’s attack range.
However, they clearly didn’t want to give away the Musical House island, which they had just occupied, to the human beings who had found reinforcements.
Therefore, the formation of the Magma Monsters’ cannons didn’t retreat but moved to the center of the Musical House settlement.
After seeing that, Ji Ye finally put on a smile of satisfaction and said in a low voice, “Okay, this is good enough!
“Let’s initiate the plan!”
Ding, ding, ding…
In the next moment, the sound of guqin suddenly came from one side of the Mirage Dragon Warship.
The sound was gentle at first, but it was like a breeze that raised ripples on the surface of the sea.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
However, as the sound of the guqin continued, the breeze quickly escalated into a strong wind and a gale.
On the red Seven Note Guqin Ship, Nie Xiaoqian, with her face covered by a white veil, was playing the Mirage Dragon Guqin that Ji Ye offered her. The mirage that came out of the instrument along with the music turned into seven female musicians. Each of them took a string and played the enormous ship, following Nie Xiaoqian’s pace!
Splash…
Within the range that the Seven Note Guqin Ship’s soundwaves could reach, layers of ripples were rising on the surface of the sea as if a real wind was blowing. As the music intensified, the ripples soon turned into waves and tides…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At this moment, a magnificent sound, which was from a pipa, and a sorrowful flute sound, joined the performance of the guqin.
Chu Yin, who was seated with her back against Nie Xiaoqian, was using the Extraordinary rank-8 Superior Purple Stone Pipa that used to belong to Zhong Zhou.
It was because the strings of her Topaz Pipa were broken in the earlier battle and hadn’t been fixed yet.
However, the divine parrot, which had perched on the Topaz Pipa earlier, was now singing on the Purple Stone Pipa.
The Hundred Sound String, which was the fifth string on the Purple Stone Pipa, was sending out pleasant flute music in Chu Yin’s hand. She had fully mastered it by training for a whole night with EXP!
The Mirage Dragon Guqin, the Phoenix Blood Guqin, the Stone Pipa, the Jade Flute, and the bird chirps…
There were only two performers, but they were sending out five different sounds.
Both women had reached Extraordinary Rank-7. Naturally, they were playing the Melody of the Rising Tide, Huang Yaoshi’s ultimate masterpiece!
