Chapter Twenty-Three: Covering the Water into Yin
Thinking so in his heart, Ji Yun operated like this in his hand, the internal force gently operated on the Yin Erosion Water Map, and the sea chart in the painting lit up everywhere together, as Ji Yun gradually became familiar with it, he could even manipulate the sea surface in the map to change, and at this time, the sea surface on the Yin Erosion Water Map was like a sand table being played around by Ji Yun.
However, as Ji Yun continued to ponder and experiment with the charts.
Mecheris's fleet suffered.
At this time, Rear Admiral Claude Mecheris, who was standing on the "Imperial Australian", was listening to a report from a major next to him that the ship's communications room had just received a radio report from the "Zhusheng" of the forward cruiser detachment in the middle of the fleet's queue.
"Report to the general, the 'Zhusheng' sent a telegram that our 'Black Shark' submarine and 'Purple Electricity' submarine have lost contact, and the destroyers and cruisers of the vanguard force have also been contacted!"
Claude was a little surprised when he heard this, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, the soldiers on the observation platform suddenly shouted anxiously:
"The general is not good! The 'Zhu Sheng' is in the ...... No, more than that! multiple battleships in front of us...... Battleship in ......"
"What's wrong with the battleship?!"
"It's sinking!"
"What?!"
Shocked by this, Claude quickly rushed to the escalator of the observation platform.
He stepped forward in a few steps, pushed the observer away, and lowered his head to the rangefinder's lens, squinting with one eye and the other at the sea ahead.
He adjusted the lens left and right, and finally locked the perspective on the "Zhu Sheng".
I saw that the crew members on the "Zhusheng" were constantly waving their hands, as if calling for help, and some soldiers kept shooting into the sky, looking very panicked and frightened.
And the ship "Zhusheng" is gradually sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, the "Zhusheng" did not send a telegram at the moment, but only floated on the sea and allowed the hull to be submerged, which means that the ship has been completely paralyzed and has lost power, and the power system can no longer continue to operate.
Claude thought to himself, could it not have been hit by a cannonball, but with the exquisite design of the "Zhusheng," even if the hull of the ship was bombed with thousands of holes, it should not have sunk like this.
Claude continued to turn the rangefinder, and he saw that all the fleet ships in the surrounding waters were basically all in the same situation as the "Zhusheng".
He even witnessed the sinking of a ship, the crew fell into the sea, could not even do the fluttering, and sank to the bottom of the sea without much struggle, as if they had died before drowning.
None of the hundreds of soldiers on board tried to swim and escape, and everyone looked as if they had been pulled straight into the sea, and once they fell into the water, they never showed their heads again.
He even saw some soldiers take out their pistols and put them in their mouths before falling into the water, and shoot them without hesitation to end their lives.
As the soldiers on the battleship completely fell into the water, the sea below completely turned blood-red, which looked terrifying.
"What is this!?what's in the sea?"
Claude Mecheris couldn't believe his eyes, it was as if there was a demon or death beneath the surface of the sea, mercilessly devouring everything on the sea.
Not even the wreckage of clothes or even a barrel of cargo was returned, nothing came up again, and the sea was like a bottomless abyss, like the gates of hell, once you stepped in, there was no return.
Just as Claude was shocked by this horrific scene, a second lieutenant who was in charge of looking out at the sea behind the stern of the ship burst into the plane in a panic, and rushed directly to the observation platform without even his own permission.
"Oh no, our battleship seems to be sinking slowly, although the speed is not fast, but according to the soldiers in the bilge, the bow and sea valve at the bottom of our ship are rapidly aging, and the rust slag that has fallen off can already be seen in the stern!"
"It can't be!"
Claude pushed the ensign away and rushed down to the observation platform, straight to the stern, and then panted as he grabbed the boat and looked down.
He did see the large waves at the stern of the ship mixed with a hint of copper.
Claude recalled what he had just seen on the observation platform, and his heart was terrified, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Come on, give the command to the cockpit, retreat at full speed, let the communication room send a telegram, and let all the ships that can be contacted speed up and retreat, hurry up! Hurry up, ββ! it."
At this time, Ji Yun, who was standing on the Ling Yuan ship, was pondering the immortal thing in his hand with great interest, and it didn't take long for him to roughly master the trick of manipulating the Yin Erosion Water Map.
Any purple-blue light spot on the sea painting in the picture indicates that the corresponding sea area has turned into a water shade with the same corrosive effect as the one in front of the shallow edge cave.
It's just that even if Ji Yun tried his best, he could only make one-tenth of the sea area on the chart light up at the same time, and he could only make this water array attach to the sea surface, and he didn't know how to make this immortal barrier rise from the sea and cover the entire area above the ground like the entrance of the shallow edge cave.
Ji Yun fumbled for a while, and found that the speed and frequency of the red dots on the lower or southerly part of the map were significantly slower than those near the north shore of the gravel at the top of the map.
This shows that the strength of the effect of the water covering array should depend on the distance, which means that the farther away from the edge of the South China Sea of the Yin Eroded Water Covering Map, the corrosive and powerful power of the water covering array will become weaker, or can it be said that with its own internal strength, it is still unable to completely control such immortal objects?
Thinking of this, Ji Yun said to himself:
"This is not good, if this is the case, how can I destroy all the thieves, my appetite is not only this melted warship molten iron, I must try to destroy all the enemy ships!"
The more Ji Yun fiddled, the more familiar he became with the use of this eroded water map, and after a while, he became handy, and in the end, he was able to make the sea surface in the picture roll up a whirlpool-like pattern......
At this time, Rear Admiral Claude, who ordered the bow of the ship to be turned around and fled at full speed, was already in a state of confusion.
There was a terrifying existence on this sea that he did not know, and he did not think about how to face the interrogation of the military headquarters and Commander-in-Chief Edward after retreating.
He only knew that if he continued to stay in this seemingly peaceful but actually hidden death crisis everywhere, his little life would be gone, so he just wanted to escape from this silent hell as soon as possible.
The fleet had only retreated about eight or nine nautical miles, and there was a loud noise from the stern of the "Imperial Australia", which sounded like the sound of rushing water, and as if there was a strong wind, like a waterfall chasing behind the ship with the sound of thunder, and Claude Mecheris mustered up the courage to look back, and saw the "Grand Duke" not far behind the "Imperial Australia", which could carry thousands of people, and the hull that could carry thousands of people had become torn apart, and it was divided into several main hulls and more than a thousand sergeants flying in the skyβit was a seaspout!
"Quick! Speed up, maximum horsepower! Drive to 30 knots, no! Find a way to overload, hurry, the devil is going to catch up!"
The frightened Claude didn't care who his subordinates were or what they did, but hurriedly ordered.
At this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky that were getting closer and closer, and the seaspouts that swirled in the vortex of the lower sea swept thousands of soldiers into the sky, which finally made Claude see the truth why the crew and the battleship just sank blindly and nothing floated up, they were simply corroded and decomposed, so it was not that nothing floated up, but only molten iron and blood floated up!
I saw that when the seaspout with purple and blue brilliance was churning and rubbing the metal pieces torn from the hull of the "Grand Duke" and the stumps and severed arms of the soldiers, the violet-blue sea water that was flying and agitating was also corroding and decomposing all the substances that were sucked into the tornado like strong sulfuric acid!
The hard iron walls of the heavy cruiser "Grand Duke" were being ravaged and cut like tofu at this moment.
The sergeants on it were even more bleak, they had been training for many years to be considered a strong body, but at this time, the flesh and bones were immediately separated into dots and lumps by the water waves, as soft as the corpse poison of a corpse that had been rotting for months, and the purple-blue water was mixed with flesh and iron, and after a while, it was dyed black.
Even if the ship's or wreckage is thrown out and falls to the surface of the nearby sea, the black sea water flowing down from the seaspout will instantly break down and corrode into shape.
Everything touched by the black water under the seaspout whirlpool was like a grain of salt stained with hot water, and it was dissolved in an instant.
The same situation not only happened in the sea area at the foot of the "Grand Duke", on the way of the retreat of several frigates around, a purple-blue vortex suddenly appeared, the vortex expanded and spread in an instant, there was a bottomless hole in the center of the whirlpool, and all the ships that could not retreat were unlucky to be sucked into it, and the vortex quickly flew around after inhaling the ship, and after a while, a new seaspout was formed, and the sea water churned for a while, and it was accompanied by molten iron and flesh and blood and gradually dyed a disgusting bloody black.
"Vomit ββ!"
Claude, who regarded himself as accustomed to life and death, couldn't help but vomit at the moment, and the meat grinder that constantly wafted around him made his scalp tingle, and he was afraid that the next moment these seaspouts would catch up with him, or a whirlpool would suddenly appear in the sea area in front of him as a retreat.
The fear from the bottom of his heart made him constantly roar and shout orders, asking the ship to speed faster, faster, even though it was now overloaded beyond the thirty knots of the heavy fully armored and heavy artillery battle flagship, reaching thirty-nine knots! The battleship's engine room was overloaded and caused a fire, and its black smoke overflowed onto the deck!
Ji Yun's side continued to slide his fingers leisurely and comfortably, pointing with internal force on the chart, and turning back and forth.
He observed that most of the red dots on the chart had disappeared, and only a few inaudible, imperceptible, pinpoint-like solitary dots had escaped from the edge of the chart.
But he didn't care about one or two fish that slipped through the net, he was satisfied enough, this water covering array gave him a great shock, and its effect made him happy, this Yin Eclipse Water Covering Chart was really powerful.
The immortal power of controlling water contained in the Xiyin real person's yin and cold can not only generate a light curtain that can corrode the enemy like the water yin cover, but also can manipulate the vastness, far beyond the reach of manpower to resist the sea and attack the enemy!
At the same time that Ji Yun couldn't help but realize how rebellious the ability of real people is, it can really be described as a creation that conquers the heavens and the earth, and can greatly change the situation in the world, even controlling the ocean that everyone in the world is afraid of.
It's no wonder that even activating requires the internal strength of thousands of people, so much energy!
If a real person is alive, using the immortal body of a real person to run the power of the immortal law, and the real person himself to perform the immortal technique, what about its power?
Thinking of this, Ji Yun couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue and admire.
This time he really saw the world, and he also understood that he still had a long way to go, and there was room for progress like this Hanhai, which can be said to be a long way to go.
Usually in the capital, he believes that he is invincible in martial arts, and he thinks that there are not many opponents in the entire Celestial Empire. But this time, in the face of this incredible miracle, even if you don't see all the enemies destroyed with your own eyes, you can understand what happened just by looking at the majestic sea chart changes on the map.
Compared with the majestic internal power that he is proud of and the immortal power that can manipulate the vast ocean, he is not even a dime.
At this moment, he really realized what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky......
Thinking about this, Ji Yun jumped back from the Lingyuan ship and landed in the harbor behind him, landing on his feet, and his body was almost unstable.
Ji Yun felt a little tired at this time, and realized that the internal force was overused, and the whole person got out of the state of excitement.
And Xu Tianzhang, who was sitting and watching the enemy on the north shore, although they didn't see the seaspout that was full of momentum in the distance, tearing the clouds and stirring the sea, they didn't know that the Mecheris fleet had basically been completely wiped out.
But they saw the tragic condition of the two light cruisers that had approached the front of the pass at the beginning.
Xu Tianzhang and Huang Qisheng, who knew the wonder of the fairy barrier in front of the shallow edge cave, were still a little calm, and the rest of the people were surprised one by one, and they all applauded and cheered!
But for a few moments later, Ji Yun just held the picture in one hand and teased on it with the other, making everyone confused.
Ji Yun walked to the ruins in front of the pass and hugged his fist to Xu Tianzhang:
"The military gate, the thieves have been completely defeated, and there are only a handful of people who have been able to escape from the South China Sea. β
Xu Tianzhang was shocked and confused when he heard this, but even if he was very puzzled, it was not good to ask in detail in front of the soldiers at this moment, so he said with an expected look:
"Okay! General Ji lived up to expectations, was able to protect my sea border, and wiped out the thieves with a snap of his fingers. This governor will show His Majesty and give the general a knight!"
Hearing this, Ji Yun hurriedly said:
"The military gate is serious, it is not my work, it is really the benefit of the Xiyin real immortal array and the foresight of the Taishi, if it is not for the Taishi's prediction in advance, I will not be able to rush to support. β
Xu Tianzhang nodded solemnly, turned around and bowed to Xiyin Mountain and said:
"The ancestors of Xiyin are worried about the country's Dan heart, even if the immortal is gone, the rest of the immortal rhyme is still performing the protection of the community, the great virtue and high righteousness of the predecessors, the younger generations and the people of Guangzhou Mansion will remember it for life.
On behalf of the tens of millions of people and soldiers who have survived the thieves in Guangzhou, the younger generation will give a gift to the seniors, and after the younger generations rebuild the Longmen Pass, they will build temples for the seniors and worship the seniors to enjoy the eternal incense!"
After saying that, he bowed to the north:
"Taishi is far-sighted, saving my Nanyang soldiers and civilians from fire and water, and his loyalty to his family and country is outstanding, and I Xu Tianzhang admires it!"
Seeing this, Ji Yun also said:
"Although the Taishi is wise, and the Xiyin real immortal treasure is profitable, if it weren't for the military gate and the generals who died on the sea to defeat the enemy, they would have lost more than 20,000 sailors and soldiers, and defeated the thieves and sailors in the Piercing Nose Ocean.
The dinosaur gate was lost early, if this is the case, the people of Guangzhou Mansion will suffer, it will be too late, and it will be useless for Ji Yun to come back. β
Xu Tianzhang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard Ji Yun mention the soldiers of the fallen sailors.
Before Xu Tianzhang could say anything more, Ji Yun spoke again:
"The military gate, the master is in a hurry to reply, and the water cover map is left at the military gate, and the last general is ready to leave. β
Xu Tianzhang was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly:
"The general is not joking, he has just retreated from the enemy and is about to leave, not to mention that the general has only been here for half a day.
Not to mention that the governor is celebrating the general's achievements, he has not yet washed the dust for the general, and the general has been tired for several days, and he has been exhausted since Xiyin Mountain, and he has not yet rested, how can he leave lightly?"
Ji Yun continued to excuse himself:
"Junmen, at this moment, the Taishi does not know the great victory of our army, I need to return to the court as soon as possible to report to the Taishi, so that he can rest assured, the Taishi is old, I am afraid that he will be anxious, trigger the liver fire, and hurt the body!"
Hearing this, Xu Tianzhang stretched out his hand and hugged his fist and said:
"The general is really a loyal and righteous person, and the Taishi and the Han family can get the general, which is really a blessing for the community!
However, although the general is in a hurry, the old man also has the intention to play to the emperor, and the general also knows the current situation of Longmen Pass.
I need to stay here to preside over the post-war affairs, and I can't go with the general to visit the Taishi and face the saint in person, so why don't I ask the general to rest in the palace for one night, and let the governor hold a banquet and finish the chapter, and then leave tomorrow?"
Ji Yun looked around at the ruins and broken walls on all sides of the week, and at this time, he really felt that his physical strength was exhausted, and Xu Tianzhang was very gracious, so he finally responded:
"Well, then I'll leave tomorrow!"
