Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1768 Formal Encounter
After successfully destroying one of the propellers of the steam warship, General Octopus was as if he had discovered a new continent and quickly told Ao Ze the news.

Seeing this, Ao Ze was also delighted and quickly ordered all the fish soldiers to transform into underwater porters, lifting up stones from the seabed and smashing them at the propellers of the steam warship.

This is much easier than having them attack the bottom of the ship.

Although the fish soldiers are limited by their size and strength, they cannot lift up huge rocks to attack like the Octopus General.

But they were just too numerous to resist.

A high-speed rotating propeller constantly strikes a rock. Even the hardest blades will chip and crack, and the probability of malfunction increases significantly during this process.

Under the actions of the sea creature forces, several ships on the Great Zhou side encountered problems one after another.

After suffering a series of setbacks, he finally managed to strike a blow against Ao Ze on the other side. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if all the frustration in his heart had been swept away at this moment.

At the same time, the steam warships were also thrown into chaos by an attack from the seabed.

Considering that the sea creature forces did indeed possess the ability to penetrate the hulls of their ships, White Butcher also had special reinforcements made to the emergency repair teams on each ship during the sea blockade.

The key was to promptly fill the hull to reduce seawater intrusion, thereby ensuring the ship could hold out until the end of the battle and be recovered.

But this time, the situation was clearly beyond Bai Tu's expectations.

After all, before the appearance of the sea creature forces, who could have imagined that there would be such a group of guys who could destroy the propellers of their steam warships in the sea?
Even now, even if they had thought of this, they wouldn't have a good way to stop it.

This is also the most troublesome aspect for the Sea Clan forces.

However, looking at it from an optimistic perspective, compared to having the hull breached, at least the damaged propeller wouldn't cause them to sink...

As the alarm sounded, Jabbar, who had already confirmed the situation beforehand, naturally knew what was happening.

At Jabbar's command, his water mage corps immediately began casting spells in unison, centered around him.

The flowing water transformed into a giant serpent!

When facing the sea creature forces lurking in the sea, 'Giant Wave Assault' and 'Water Whirlpool' are relatively ineffective.

After all, you can't see where they are, so there's no way to guarantee that your moves will hit.

If we're talking about which move works best, it has to be the 'Water Snake Dance'.

The value of 'snake' magic is still increasing!!
Using seawater as a medium, and accompanied by the spread of magical power, it quickly coalesced into a giant water serpent!

There's a little trick to this: compared to creating water out of thin air with magic, having an existing body of water as a medium for spells can significantly reduce the energy consumption of almost any water-based spell, not just 'Water Serpent Dance'.

This also makes water-based mages have an even greater home-field advantage at sea!
The water snake, swimming rapidly in the seawater, appears translucent, with only a faint outline visible.

It even has a stealth effect, though it's not very noticeable.

But this had no effect on the sea creature forces.

Sea creatures, who have lived in the sea since birth, are extremely sensitive to water currents, which makes them notice the presence of water snakes almost immediately.

However, being able to notice it is one thing, but being able to dodge the water snake's attack is another matter entirely!
It should be noted that the water serpent carefully condensed by a Saintly Realm mage has an overall combat strength that is basically no less than that of a Vajra Realm martial artist!
The water serpent in the sea pushed its speed to near its limit, its entire form becoming one with the ocean currents, swiftly traversing the water. In the blink of an eye, it locked onto a group of fish soldiers who were hurling stones at the propellers of their steam warship and charged straight at them!

Because water snakes do not have a physical form, their ramming attacks are different from ordinary ramming attacks; they are more like a continuous scouring by a high-pressure water cannon!

The bodies of ordinary fish soldiers are fragile in the face of the impact of water snakes. With continuous scouring, they can be turned into a bloody mess in the blink of an eye.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the burgeoning Sea Clan forces.

“Everyone, scatter!!”

Prince Ao Ze immediately sensed the threat from the water snake, so he rode the ocean current and rushed over to try to eliminate it.

Jabbar, using the water snake as a medium to spread his senses, naturally noticed Ao Ze's presence.

However, he did not intend to pay attention to the other party. Instead, he controlled the water snake to avoid a direct confrontation with Ao Ze and continued to clear out the fish soldiers in the area.

A few seconds is definitely not a short time for a Vajra Realm level combatant, but Ao Ze was surprised to find that he could not catch up with the water snake for a while!

He almost caught up several times, but the other person made a clever change of direction and left him behind again.

This seemed somewhat unbelievable to Ao Ze.

But for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it was exactly what he expected.

As a member of the sea tribe, Ao Ze is indeed agile and swift in the sea, but don't forget that his water snake is almost equivalent to seawater itself!
To say it's like "a fish in water" would be an understatement.

Taking advantage of this, Jabbar directly controlled the water snake, wreaking havoc in the sea.

The number of fish soldiers in the sea creature army is declining at a visible rate.

Even the Octopus General had two tentacles torn off in a single exchange. If Ao Ze hadn't been chasing the water snake closely the whole time, Jabar would definitely have taken the Octopus General's life!

Maintaining this rhythm, Jabbar controlled the water snake and, after quickly wiping out a wave of fish soldiers, finally turned his head and bared his fangs at Ao Ze, who was chasing closely behind him!
At this moment, Ao Ze was clearly unaware of the crux of the problem and still regarded the water snake in front of him as his main opponent.

As soon as he saw the other party turn his head, he immediately swung the Thunderous Wave Halberd in his hand and blasted it with his strongest attack!
[Breaking Waves!!]

He had been chasing them all the way, and he was bursting with anger, which he unleashed in this one attack!
The powerful blow stirred up the surrounding ocean currents, unleashing even more astonishing power.

Jabbar tried to control the water snake to dodge, but Ao Ze's attack came with unusual speed and even some unreasonable force. Half of the snake's body was unable to dodge in time and was completely destroyed on the spot!

At the same time, on the deck of the steam warship, Jabbar unconsciously frowned.

The water snake was, after all, his medium. It was impossible for Jabbar, as the controller, to be completely unaffected by its forceful destruction.

During this time, more than a dozen water-elemental mages in the group fainted on the spot, their faces turning ashen.

Jabbar had no time to care about them right now; all his energy was focused on the battle with Ao Ze!
