The combined fleet at sea was desperately searching for the whereabouts of the sea beasts. Their greatest fear was that they wouldn't be able to find the sea beasts, making a swift victory impossible. However, now the sea beasts had come to them, which was a much better situation!
Everyone understood clearly that the reason all the electronic instruments on the ships had malfunctioned was because they had entered the range of the divine domain created by the meteorite. This was why the instruments were unable to operate.
Although one warship was about to sink, this situation was insignificant and not a cause for concern. As long as all the human ability users acted together now, they were sure to achieve victory. Afterward, they would deal with the meteorite themselves. Even if Shen Feng was powerful, he would likely be unable to prevent this from happening.
Therefore, Tom was now commanding his subordinates: "Quickly prepare for battle, do nothing else. Those who can fight in the sea, hurry and act, don't let the sea beasts continue to be arrogant. I will also participate in the battle!"
The people on the ships had originally acted to obtain the meteorite, but now they discovered that the sea beasts had come to them on their own. Wasn't this walking into a trap?
"Quick, get into the water, but be careful, there will be many sea beasts underwater!" Immediately, countless people scrambled to jump down from the ship without hesitation. An ability user summoned a light sphere to illuminate the sky, only to find many huge black shadows appearing on the sea surface where snow was falling. These black shadows were even larger than the warships.
Upon seeing this situation, Andorf said to his wife beside him, "Quickly use your ultrasound to scan the situation in the sea. You must find out where the Sea Beast King is!"
The so-called Sea Beast King was an animal that could control other sea beasts. The Sea Beast King of the past was the blue whale in the deep sea. After the blue whale died, the sea beasts had essentially lost their leader. However, later, a giant octopus obtained the meteorite and successfully evolved. After all, it could easily obtain extraterrestrial elements from the meteorite, thus becoming the Sea Beast King.
Furthermore, this sea beast was likely a ninth-tier ability user, capable of obscuring the divine domain and preventing satellites from detecting the meteorite's location. Currently, the meteorite was also under the control of the Sea Beast King.
Therefore, countless people wanted to kill the Sea Beast King, so that they could obtain the meteorite.
Natalie naturally understood this. She tied a rope to the ship and then jumped into the water, releasing a large amount of ultrasound from her body.
Sonar, as it is known, is an instrument that uses ultrasound. Anyone who has attended junior high school knows that ultrasound reflects when it encounters an object. By capturing this reflected ultrasound, one can calculate whether there is an object in the sea and at what distance.
However, now, after Natalie used her ability, she discovered something strange. She found that the ultrasound she released did not reflect; instead, it seemed to be absorbed by something.
"Something in the sea is blocking my ultrasound detection!" Natalie immediately said to Andorf above when she discovered this.
After she discovered that the large amount of ultrasound she released was being absorbed, she completely understood. There were likely sea beasts in the water disturbing the ultrasound, making it impossible for anyone to know the situation underwater.
She also felt a sense of fear. The reason was very simple: previously, countless people believed that sea beasts were not a threat because they lacked high intelligence. In the face of humans, those lacking intelligence would always be defeated by human wisdom.
But now, the sea beasts not only appeared at night, using surprise attacks, but they also knew how to hide their positions, preventing humans from easily discovering them. They were using their advantages to counter human disadvantages, which was already a rudimentary form of military strategy!
Now, countless sea beasts were using their abilities in the water. If one was not careful, they would fall into a trap. The sea contained various elements, which was why the ocean could be the origin of life. Therefore, no matter what kind of ability it was, it could be of great use at this moment.
In order to completely defeat the sea beasts, many fearless ability users directly jumped into the water. These people had the ability to protect themselves in the water.
As a result, the water changed at this moment. A large number of sea beasts moved away, and a red light sphere appeared in the deep sea. When this light sphere appeared in the dark seawater, it immediately made people feel uneasy.
Andorf felt a moment of terror upon seeing this. The actions of the sea beasts were like coordinated combat. If they weren't careful, something would inevitably go wrong. He immediately tugged hard on the rope, pulling his wife out of the water.
At this moment, the light sphere in the water was continuously approaching the sea surface, and the red light appeared even more dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it for a moment. It was at this time that people were shocked to discover that the glowing object underwater was a giant sea beast, and the light was emanating from this sea beast.
The seawater also began to heat up at this moment. The people in the sea understood this change instantly upon noticing it and shouted loudly: "This is a sea beast that controls its body temperature! It wants to cook us to death with its body heat!"
Although there are so-called warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals in this world, cold-blooded animals do not necessarily mean creatures with icy blood; rather, it means their body temperature can change.
However, the sea beast appearing in the seawater now was an animal that could control its body temperature. Upon closer inspection, it was a large jellyfish, emitting red light and surfacing towards the sea. This jellyfish had a diameter of three hundred meters, and as it appeared, the water temperature continuously rose.
"Run!" People, upon discovering the extreme change in water temperature, quickly swam towards the sea surface.
Unfortunately, it was too late when these people discovered the change in the seawater. The water surface immediately began to boil, with large amounts of steam appearing and bubbles emerging from the sea. Many ability users who rashly entered the seawater were scalded to death on the spot.
Tom, upon seeing this scene on the ship, shouted: "Quick, find a way to kill the sea beast, otherwise we can't enter the water to fight!"
Others naturally understood this principle, so they all took action. An ability user who controlled electricity immediately released a large amount of current. Under the effect of the high voltage, these powerful currents broke through the air resistance and struck the water surface directly.
A faint smell of burning could still be detected in the air. The giant jellyfish in the sea dimmed immediately after being struck by electricity. Fortunately, the seawater provided a buffer, so it was not seriously harmed.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the jellyfish's attack was over, a giant sea turtle emerged from the deep sea. It had a thick shell for defense, capable of withstanding the attack of hot water.
After this sea turtle appeared, it began to bite the jellyfish's tentacles.
Upon seeing this, people finally relaxed, thinking, "It seems there are internal problems among the sea beasts. Now these sea beasts are clearly fighting amongst themselves!"
Everyone thought that the situation was that the sea beasts were devouring each other, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. The jellyfish was injured by the current, and the sea turtle was clearly hungry and eating the jellyfish's body.
However, after the sea turtle bit one of the jellyfish's tentacles, it began to drag it forcefully underwater. It turned out that it was going to take the injured jellyfish underwater.
He Qiuan quickly said to Wang Ao Ye beside him, "Quickly kill the sea beast, don't give these sea beasts a chance to recover!"
Wang Ao Ye, upon hearing this, clearly understood the principle of striking while the iron is hot. He took a deep breath, and the sand at the bottom of the sea began to gather. Once the sand gathered, it could allow the opponent to be attacked in the water.
There was countless sand at the bottom of the sea, so Wang Ao Ye, who was on the sea, also had corresponding confidence. Because with sand, he could exert his true strength.
However, before he could make a move, an unexpected situation occurred. The sea beasts that had originally left had all approached. Many sea beasts with enhanced physical bodies appeared here. Due to the change in the ocean currents, the originally boiling water had dispersed, and the sea beasts' bodies could withstand such impact.
Giant sea beasts one after another forcefully impacted the warships, causing them to be subjected to repeated collisions. The recovery ability of the sea beasts' bodies was very strong; even if they were injured, they would recover in a short time.
However, after being hit, the warships were destroyed in a short period. Especially if the engine room was damaged, the entire ship would be unable to sail.
"Thump, thump..." The warships made loud noises when they were hit, and they vibrated continuously. The people on the ship found it difficult to stand steady, and the ship where Wang Ao Ye was located was also attacked, interrupting him at that moment.
"Damn it! These damned things, taking advantage of our weakness!" Wang Ao Ye's spellcasting was interrupted, and he became somewhat exasperated.
The people on the ship had already prepared for the worst, which was to fight to the death with these sea beasts that had suddenly appeared. As long as they held on, they were sure to win.
But at this moment, the sea beasts that had been attacking madly seemed to have received a signal and instantly retreated into the deep sea. It was now deep night, and a blizzard was falling from the sky, greatly reducing visibility. There were no light sources in the sea, and it was pitch black everywhere. Even though many illumination flares were in the sky, once the sea beasts entered the water, people had no way to find them, especially with the existence of sea beasts that could affect sonar.
"I remember there was a dolphin whose ability was to control ultrasound, so the ultrasound I released earlier should have been absorbed by it!" Natalie suddenly realized.
"It's useless to realize it now. These things have already escaped. They are truly despicable and shameless, escaping after a sneak attack!" Andorf also said with a grim expression.
The actions of the sea beasts were very orderly. During the attack, all sea beasts attacked simultaneously, leaving the people on the ships with no ability to resist. Many ships suffered losses and could no longer sail, naturally making pursuit of the sea beasts impossible.
And now, when it was time for the sea beasts to escape, they did so in an equally orderly manner, escaping uniformly into the distance, not revealing any clues, leaving people unable to figure them out.
The people were relieved to see the sea beasts leave, as the expected great battle did not erupt, making them realize they could live a little longer. However, there were already more than a dozen corpses of ability users floating on the sea surface. These people had died during the sneak attack, and many others were missing, likely having been eaten.
