Chapter 129: A Barrage of Artillery Fire!
The special bullet that Mo Yuan mentioned was actually something like a chain hammer.
It's different from a regular stone except it has a connecting hard vine that can drag enemies over.
They once used this to spot a third-tier adult sea beast that was breathing on the surface of the sea, dragged it ashore, and finally had it killed by Mo Yuan.
Upon hearing their boss's order, the henchmen hurriedly and clumsily picked up a lump of mud that had been prepared beforehand.
Several thick, thorny vines were wrapped in the mud, with the other end tied to the winch of the catapult.
Liang Zixuan stepped forward and gently wiped the clump of mud with his hand.
The soft, limp mud instantly hardened, turning into hard, grayish-white rock that locked the vines inside.
"Ready?"
Liang Zixuan pushed up his glasses, a cruel look appearing in his eyes.
"fire!"
At Mo Yuan's command, the winch was released, and the Soul-Hooking Stone with its long tail hurtled toward Su Jin's sailboat.
"Are you ever going to stop?! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"
Su Jin spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
Without the speed boost from the "Golden Sprint," he could only rely on pure skill to survive this wave.
Seventy meters away, waves level three.
Su Jin gripped the helm tightly with both hands, and just as the boulder with the hook was about to smash into the bow, he suddenly turned the helm to the left, while simultaneously using the rise and fall of the waves to slightly tilt the ship to the side.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud was heard, but fortunately the special bullet, which was powerful enough to smash through the deck, did not hit the bullseye. Instead, it grazed the edge of the ship's port side.
The thick hardwood railings shattered, sending splinters flying everywhere. The ship shook violently, but fortunately, the core structure remained undamaged.
"It's alright, just a minor scrape."
Su Jin glanced at the ship's gunwale, which was missing a corner, and his anger flared up instantly.
This is his newly upgraded ship, which is like his brand new car being scratched by a tricycle on the roadside. No man could stand it.
Taking advantage of the enemy's reloading, Su Jin maneuvered the ship to create distance between them and the open sea, shouting at the two, "Lin Xuan, bring out the cannonballs!"
"Daqing, stop fucking throwing up and get back to loading! Ten secondary guns, fill them all up!"
Upon hearing the order, the two immediately got to work, clearly both of them were also furious.
Inside the stone fortress on the shore, however, the atmosphere was quite different.
Mo Yuan watched as the sailboat drew a circle on the sea and headed away into the distance, assuming it had been terrified by the previous attack.
"Damn! They ran away, those cowards ran away!"
Mo Yuan slung his broadsword over his shoulder, his face contorted with rage: "Damn it, you're all useless! You missed again! You never missed when you were with women. Believe me or not, I'll chop you all up!"
Just as Mo Yuan was cursing and preparing to take matters into his own hands, he suddenly noticed that the sailboat that had been fleeing had suddenly stopped on the distant sea.
Immediately afterwards, the ship slowly moved sideways, giving the impression of returning to deliver the goods.
Mo Yuan paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously, "Oh ho? Turning back to your deaths? Brothers, give it your all—"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, a series of orange-red flames erupted on the distant sea.
"Boom boom boom boom boom ——————"
Ten cannon shots rang out almost simultaneously.
In the sky, ten dark dots were approaching the stone fortress at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
In that instant, Mo Yuan's scalp felt like it was about to explode.
"Hide! Everyone hide!"
He roared, grabbed Liang Zixuan beside him, and scrambled into the sturdy stone main building behind them.
"Don't be afraid! This is a level 3 territory building, and it's been reinforced by Old Liang. This broken rock can't be broken through."
Before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, the first cannonball had already landed on the terrace.
"collapse--
The shells exploded the moment they hit the ground, and the huge shockwave, mixed with high-temperature flames and countless shrapnel fragments, instantly engulfed the three wooden catapults and blasted them into pieces.
Then came the second and third shots —
The entire stone fortress was engulfed by fire and thick smoke in an instant.
Those underlings who hadn't even had time to run into the bunker were blown to pieces before they could even scream.
Mo Yuan's supposedly safe zone is nothing but a paper doll in the face of modern gunpowder; it would shatter at the slightest touch.
A shell hit the load-bearing wall of the main building directly.
Liang Zixuan had just taken refuge under the wall and hadn't even had time to cast a Stone Skin spell on himself when the entire wall collapsed in the explosion.
"what!"
Liang Zixuan didn't even have time to let out half a scream before his lower body was crushed by several tons of rocks.
The shockwave that followed swept across, turning the second-in-command, along with his gold-rimmed glasses, into a mangled mess.
Mo Yuan wasn't much better off.
Although he reacted quickly and pulled one of his underlings to act as a human shield, the aftershocks of the explosion still severely injured him.
"My hand! Aaaaaahh ...
Mo Yuan clutched his empty left shoulder, where his once thick, tattooed arm had been blown off, the severed artery damaged, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
While he was enduring excruciating pain, half of his ears went deaf, filled with a constant buzzing sound; only the voices in his mind remained unusually clear.
[Warning: Your territory is under attack. The core of your territory is at 70% - 85% damage.]
"Old Liang! Old Liang! Increase my defense! Quickly, give me Stone Skin!"
Territory is no longer important; my own life is the most important thing.
As a foreign mercenary, he knew that if he didn't stop the bleeding now, he wouldn't survive even if he wasn't hit by a shell later.
Excessive blood loss could easily lead to shock. Even though he had broken through 10 points of physical strength, exceeding the limits of human endurance, he was only slightly more resistant than an ordinary person.
When he had bled to death and was in his weakened state, he was even more afraid that his underlings would stab him.
Even in this situation, he still didn't focus all his attention on Su Jin, his biggest enemy.
Mo Yuan frantically searched through the ruins, trying to find the man who always stood behind him.
But all he managed to grab was Liang Zixuan's calf, which was still half-cold.
Despair washed over me like a tidal wave.
A chill ran through him, but before he could recover, another roar came from the sea.
Su Jin stood in front of the helm, his eyes cold as ice.
Since we've already started, we must nip it in the bud; this is the most basic etiquette in the end times.
At this moment, he wouldn't be stingy with his ammunition.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!
Since he was the one who was ambushed this time, he couldn't hold back even more.
He saw Lin Xuan give him an OK sign, indicating that the second round of shells had been loaded.
He snorted coldly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. His mind settled, and he used the Central Hub Link 10.
Cannon.
Second salvo —
Start!
