Chapter 150 Underwater Monster, Magic Cannon
At the same time, Gong Yi advanced again through accumulating experience over time, becoming a master craftsman and unlocking the formation system.
The so-called formation pattern can be regarded as a kind of enchantment, which can be used on weapons and equipment to enhance their attributes and even provide special effects. The first formation pattern that Gong Yi unlocked was one specifically used to amplify long-range weapons. He carved the formation pattern on the cannon for experiments, and the range and destructive power of the cannon were greatly enhanced.
Zhang Shi finally got the good news and immediately approved mass production. Whether it is cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, all are blessed by Gong Yi's hand, and the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved.
The system never misses the mark. Zhang Shi's front foot had just upgraded the Ark and improved its weapons. The territory control module had detected danger on the back foot. The system interface showed that a huge shadow was swimming at the bottom of the Ark. It looked like Eyes on Ark.
Zhang Shi did not expect to be attacked by an unknown creature so soon. He decided to focus on stability and ordered the soldiers to load coal and prepare to drive away the unknown creature at full speed. However, he found that no matter how far the ark traveled, the unknown creature All living things can steadily find their traces and follow them slowly. Ge Dalong noticed something unusual and speculated that the spiritual energy of the spirit gathering array might have spread out, attracting this mysterious creature.
The huge shadow was chasing after the ark, disappearing and appearing, revealing an ominous atmosphere. Zhang Shi stood in the command room of Ark, staring closely at the movements outside through the transparent observation window, secretly vigilant in his heart. He realized that this was probably a new creature born in the wilderness world after the flood, or a deep-sea behemoth that originally existed and was forced to the surface by the flood.
Facing this huge shadow that was chasing after him, Zhang Shi was wary, but he didn't show the slightest panic. He quickly summoned his partners and core members such as Zhang Dazhuang, Gong Yi, and Lao Bai to discuss countermeasures.
"This creature is clearly not an ordinary creature and we must handle it with caution."
Zhang Shi said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning everyone's faces, looking for the best solution.
Zhao Feng frowned, and the ax in his hand was trembling slightly, obviously ready for battle.
"Should we take the initiative and test its strength with artillery?"
Lao Bai shook his head. The computer's calculations made him prefer a sound strategy.
"We don't yet know the specific capabilities of this creature. A rash attack may alarm the snake, or even anger it, causing a greater crisis."
Gong Yi also put forward his own views.
"Perhaps we can use aura to create some confusing illusions, such as making an object containing aura to attract the attention of the creature, and then take the opportunity to get rid of it completely."
Zhang Shi nodded and felt that Gong Yi's suggestion was worth a try: "Okay, just do what Gong Yi said. At the same time, we must also prepare for the worst. If this creature really poses a threat to us, we must There are countermeasures.”
Everyone acted quickly. Gong Yi led the craftsmen to start arranging the formation according to the structure of the spirit gathering array, preparing to make a small raft, install a propeller on it and launch it in another direction.
Zhang Shi ordered the soldiers to be on alert and be ready for possible battles at any time.
The craftsmen were very efficient. Before noon, the propulsion raft containing a touch of aura was produced. Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong took matters into their own hands, put the raft into the water and started the propeller, and the small raft drove away to the side at a not slow speed.
Sure enough, the huge creature was attracted by the small raft, temporarily stopped following it, and accelerated to swim in another direction. The undercurrent caused by the giant beast was clearly perceived by Zhang Shi, and he had a general understanding of the size of the giant beast. I know that it is definitely not a creature that can be solved by an individual.
The beast was very fast and soon caught up with the raft. It gradually revealed its true appearance - it was a huge deep-sea beast with thick scales covering its body and its eyes like two bright lights. , shining coldly in the darkness.
"Why did you mess with this sea monster?"
Zhang Shi took a deep breath and identified the monster as an artifact. He was glad that he had upgraded the Ark in advance, otherwise this matter would have been even more difficult.
At this moment, the giant beast suddenly launched an attack. It opened its huge mouth, and a powerful suction force came from the bottom of the raft, swallowing it up in an instant.
After a while, the giant beast left the water area and continued to track the ark.
Zhang Shi did not expect that the giant beast was so fast. The raft did not play the expected role and could not even buy them any time.
The giant beast still followed closely behind the Ark. It seemed that it had tasted the sweetness of devouring that trace of spiritual energy. It began to test further. Its entire body was hidden under the Ark, and it bumped against the bottom of the Ark from time to time. It seemed to be It seems to be a provocation.
Zhang Shi realized that blindly showing weakness would only make the monster more aggressive, so he immediately summoned all the members and prepared for war.
Zhang Shi gave an order, and the magic cannon equipped with array patterns appeared on the scene. The Ark was fully powered and suddenly accelerated away from the giant beast. After pulling away for a while, Zhang Shi controlled the Ark and turned the hull sideways to face the beast. Behemoth.
"fire!"
With Zhang Shi's order, the artillery roared, and the distance of hundreds or thousands of meters seemed close to the artillery shells. Although the giant beast hiding under the water was not hit directly by the artillery shells, the shock wave generated by the explosion caused its scales to shatter, but it seemed to feel no pain and continued to follow Fangzhou, never giving up. The giant beast's tenacity was beyond imagination. Although the continuous bombardment caused it some skin injuries, it failed to really hurt its vital parts. Zhang Shi knew that it was meaningless to continue like this. He must find a way to win with one blow and completely solve the problem.
Perhaps the continuous bombardment angered the giant beast. It swam towards Fangzhou at a high speed, and it seemed that it was coming with bad intentions. Zhang Shi's eyes moved, knowing that the opportunity had come. He moved to the giant cannon with two consecutive instant shadow steps, and then activated the triple strike, telling Wu Qing to pull up all the BUFFs, just waiting for the giant beast to reveal a flaw and give it a fatal blow.
Sure enough, when the giant beast was close to the Ark, it jumped out of the water, with most of its body exposed, and rushed towards the Ark. Ge Dalong wanted to use a water wall to block it, but was stopped by Zhang Shi in advance.
Zhang Shi was waiting for this moment. This attack would either kill you or me. He slightly adjusted the angle of the giant cannon and then fired decisively.
The giant shell had an unknown amount of damage increase BUFF stacked on it, and it hit the head of the giant beast steadily, and it was beaten to pieces. The huge impact force hit the giant beast in the air back into the water. The giant beast whimpered, turned its head and quickly moved away from the Ark.
At this point, everyone on the Ark cheered, and Zhang Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was temporarily stopped.
