Chapter 204: Crisis
"Why hasn't the support arrived yet!!"
"Didn't you say that the military submarine would arrive in ten minutes? It's been almost twenty minutes! As for your military people, it's impossible to be swallowed by sea beasts halfway through! β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The explorers exploded in the public channel on the communicator, and there was a strong dissatisfaction in everyone's tone, apparently harboring a deep grudge against the military's approach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Rest assured, everyone! I've already checked the situation with the chief, so let's hold on a little longer! The supporting submarines will arrive soon! β
The military commander who was in charge of arranging the more than 300 explorers still spoke in a very calm voice, and said to the explorers with some conviction in his tone.
"How fast is it soon? You said that five minutes ago! Haven't you come yet? Who knows how long is that 'moment' you say, a minute? Three minutes? Or ten minutes? If it really drags on for another ten minutes, then it really won't be used for us, and everything will be turned into fish feed, so what can we save? β
Obviously, the explorers didn't buy much of his account this time, and someone immediately turned back at him on the communicator.
"That's it! We've had enough of your delaying tactics! It's not just trying to trick us into making us resist for a while! In your hearts, you only care about the preservation of this ancient ship from time to time, and you don't care about the lives of our explorers! β
"That's right! Even if the lives of us ordinary explorers are worthless, we can't be sent to death! β
"That's it! γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»β
The adventurer had clearly spoken out to everyone, and many people immediately chimed in.
"I just contacted the commander in charge of support, and the specific location has been determined, and it only takes another minute or two to definitely support me!"
In the face of everyone's doubts, the tone of the military commander did not waver in the slightest, and his psychological endurance was also quite strong.
"If anyone is still suspicious, you can chat with me privately, and I'll send him a location map alone!"
The Commander's voice did not waver, and he spoke to the people shouting in the public channel.
βγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»β
Soon, there were fewer and fewer voices of doubt in the public channel, and almost everyone chose to remain silent at this time.
It's just a matter of complaining about two sentences in the public channel, anyway, their speeches are all anonymous, and so many people are saying that naturally they can't find who took the lead.
But it's different with a private chat, which is to reveal his ID, which is equivalent to making a clear call for the military, and he may have to face endless military investigations in the future, which will have an extremely bad impact on their explorer career.
"Since everyone has no opinion, then it's decided!"
After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, the military commander then encouraged everyone on the public channel.
"Let's just work together, hold on for a while, and wait for the submarine to come back, and everything will be fineγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Before the military commander could finish speaking, a dozen spikes with purple fluorescent spikes shot at them at an alarming speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! γ»γ»γ»
Because the thorns appeared too suddenly, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, several unlucky explorers explorers were hit by the purple thorns, and their bodies exploded immediately, and by the way, they also affected the explorers who did not come and dodged beside them, directly causing several serious injuries, and many minor injuries.
For a while, the wailing continued.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden scene, apparently not quite sure what was going on.
"Oh my God! There's also a monster on top of the rock wall! β
At this time, the sharp-eyed explorers had discovered the root cause of this tragedy and couldn't help but exclaim.
Everyone hurriedly looked towards the rock wall, and sure enough, they saw a giant sea urchin glowing with lilac fluorescence that had sneaked up along the rock wall to their vicinity at some point, and while they were not paying attention, they successfully attacked in one fell swoop.
Sea urchins are a very common sea beast in the ocean, and they have a wide range, and they can be seen in almost all areas of the ocean.
They are best known for their ability to shoot out poisonous thorns, as well as their amazing ability to conceal, which they have evolved to better hunt.
Of course, this kind of concealment is not a complete concealment ability, but just an appropriate reduction in the overflow of one's own body's energy.
According to statistics, a normal adult sea urchin can basically hide about 50% of the energy fluctuations in his body, and can be used to confuse the opponent at critical moments, with excellent results.
The sea urchin that attacked the explorers is undoubtedly a monster-level sea beast, and this ability has evolved to the extreme, basically it can completely converge energy fluctuations, as long as he doesn't attack, he is honestly afraid of being in place, and it is basically difficult to find out that he is a creature with ordinary detection devices.
That's why this sea urchin was able to travel so close to them and still hasn't been discovered by explorers.
Shout! Shout! Shout! γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
It was another round of sudden spike attacks, and although everyone had been vigilant in advance, several explorers were hit by this swift attack, and their bodies exploded directly.
"It's over! It's completely over! We won't be able to hold out for help, we'll all have to be killed by this urchin! β
Seeing the terrifying scene in front of them, some weak-willed explorers were completely frightened and completely desperate.
"Fire Knife King, come and save us! This is a monster! With our combat strength, it is impossible to defeat at all! β
Some people pinned their hopes on the only transcendent master present, and they cried out loudly with a plea for help.
"Fire Knife King! Savior! Come and save us! β
"Help! Fire Knife King! β
Many people also regarded the Fire Sword King as a savior, and they called out one after another.
The masters of the transcendent realm are indeed comparable in combat power to the sea beasts of the demon beast level, but they are not invincible.
The Fire Sword King is now fighting with the Giant Shark Demon Beast, and he can't spare his hands to help them, even if he wants to come over, he has to find a way to force the opponent back, which is not something that can be completed in such a moment and a half.
So no matter how strong he was, he could only glance at this side weakly now, and then pounced on the giant shark monster.
"Don't panic, everyone! It's just a single monster, and if we attack him with fire, we'll be able to force him back soon! The submarine is coming soon, everyone must hold on! β
The military commander's tone finally brought a hint of panic, obviously he was a little confused by this new demon beast, but he still forcibly resisted the pressure, and encouraged everyone while organizing a counterattack.
This time, no one replied to him, everyone was trying their best to fight for that little chance for their own survival, no one complained, some just fought back and defended.
However, their previous attack against the deep-sea fish alone was very weak, and now that they have added a demon beast-level sea beast, it is even more stretched to deal with.
Soon there was all sorts of bad news coming from the public communication channel.
"Who's going to support me? Our group has already lost four of its members, and it's about to be overwhelmed! β
"Is there a healer, take my brother to the treatment, he is dying."
"Ahh My arm!! γ»γ»Ah! β
The situation on the entire battlefield has completely turned to the side of the sea beasts, and for the explorer's side, just saving their lives is already the limit, and they have basically completely lost the ability to fight back.
The survival of the joint expedition team is in the blink of an eye, and the situation is extremely dangerous.
