Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 72: Fierce Battle in the Kelp Forest

Thunder and lightning swirled, like a violent thunder beast.

Hong Lei rushed forward suddenly, and lightning burst out from his body continuously.

"Boom!" With the impact of thunder, bolts of lightning exploded around it, forming a field of lightning.

The swordfish originally wanted to use their speed advantage to attack Meng Zheng and his group, but were instantly blocked by this field of thunder and lightning.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The swordfish struggled in the thunder and lightning, making shrill cries. Although they were fast, they seemed so small and powerless in front of the power of thunder and lightning.

The power of thunder and lightning is extremely strong. Anyone caught in the lightning will be paralyzed and unable to move in an instant. The swordfish suffered heavy casualties and could not escape.

Meng Zheng stood in the back, watching Hong Lei display his might, nodding inwardly. Hong Lei's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. With him, these swordfish were nothing to worry about.

He waved his hand, signaling the Fishman Guards to follow. As the Thunder Team became more familiar with their own strength, they could now control themselves even in the water without electrocuting their own people.

The fishman guards hesitated for a moment, then rushed out under the leadership of Gulugua, killing the school of swordfish swimming on the edge.

These swordfish are very low, but they have a strong herd mentality. Even if they are constantly struck by lightning, they are still unwilling to leave the group and are stabbed to death one by one by the fishermen.

The fishmen used their agility to move quickly through the water and continuously attack the swordfish.

The efficiency is very high. These guys are using the latest shell spears made by the shell master. They use the sharp shell corners of the creature itself and combine them with the sea spirit bamboo. It is tough and sharp, and has become the latest spear weapon of the tribe.

The swordfish were not big in size and although there were many of them, they were all killed or injured under the attack of Hong Lei and the fishman guards.

Just then, there was a rapid sound of breaking water. Meng Zheng turned around and saw a group of huge sea turtles rushing towards them.

These turtles have spikes all over their backs and look extremely formidable.

"It seems these turtles want to join in the fun." Meng Zheng sneered and said to the Yanling Silver Horned Beast beside him: "Yanling, go deal with those turtles and don't let them disturb Hong Lei."

Upon hearing this, the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast nodded immediately. It flashed, transformed into a streak of silver light, and rushed towards the turtles. Although its speed was not as fast as the thunder, its power was extremely strong. It rammed into the turtles head-on, knocking them over.

Not only that, the rock spirit's sharp silver horns instantly shot out countless stone spikes, instantly stopping the turtles' momentum.

Ding ding dang dang, the stone thorns hit the turtle's carapace and shattered it instantly, unable to break through the defense at all.

But once it hits the flesh, a big hole will be instantly created and the blood will flow continuously.

Seeing this, the turtles roared angrily and waved their limbs, trying to overturn the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast.

But the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast was as solid as a rock. No matter how the turtles attacked, it did not move at all, but continued to release more spells to attack the turtles.

As a rock spirit silver-horned beast with earth attribute, its earth-based spells will be weakened a lot when cast in water, but it can still cause a lot of damage.

Huge rocks were gathered together, creating long tail waves that rushed towards the turtles, knocking them unconscious and leaving them completely bewildered.

At that moment, Hong Lei had already dealt with the swordfish. He turned to look at the turtles, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a thick beam of lightning, which directly hit one of the turtles.

"Bang!" The turtle was struck by lightning and instantly exploded into pieces. Seeing this, the other turtles retreated in fear, never daring to approach Meng Zheng and his group again. "Are you scared? No mercy, attack!" Meng Zheng immediately took action, gathering countless water snakes and binding the group of turtles.

The water snake's head was also constantly biting the flesh under the turtle's carapace, causing considerable damage.

The fishmen surrounded the tied-up sea turtles and kept stabbing them with their spears. They could kill a big sea turtle in just a few strokes.

The Rock Spirit gave up the spell attack and continued to use the Silver Horn attack.

This silver horn is extremely sharp and even the extremely hard turtle shell cannot block it. Once it pierces the turtle, the victim will die instantly.

Thunder is even easier. These giant turtles are much larger in size, so there is no need to aim. A thunder ball or a beam of lightning can solve the problem. It does not require any effort at all.

After a fierce fight, the group of attacking sea turtles died on the spot and floated in the water, waiting to be fed by fish.

He patted Yanling and Honglei's heads and said to them, "You two have done a great job. Keep going. We must clear this kelp forest as soon as possible and prepare to move on to the next location."

Upon hearing this, Hong Lei and the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast nodded. They once again transformed into two flashes of lightning and silver light and rushed towards the depths of the seaweed forest.

Meng Zhengze followed closely behind with the fishman guards.

This seaweed forest is very large and is home to many wild monsters. Although they have not formed a tribe, the scattered monsters are still a terrifying number.

Of course, we can't just give up. We have to clean it up to avoid causing trouble for the Canghai tribe.

In the following time, they encountered various groups of monsters.

There are schools of extremely fast flying fish, octopus monsters with amazing strength, and transparent jellyfish that are good at invisibility... But no matter how difficult these monsters are, they are all defeated by the thundering lightning and the power of the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast.

Meng Zheng and his team were unstoppable and quickly wiped out all the monsters in the seaweed forest.

The results of this battle were very good. All the monster groups in the kelp forest were wiped out in one fell swoop, and two black iron treasure chests were also obtained.

"It's a pity there's so much meat and no one to clean up after it."

Now the entire tribe is preparing for war, and the tribe’s food supply has long been saturated, so this loss of meat is not a big deal.

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Meng Zheng hurried to wipe out the next group of monsters.

After leaving the kelp forest, we came to a rocky slope.

There lives a group of wild monsters called Stone Octopuses. They like to hide in the cracks among the rocks. Whenever prey comes, they will instantly extend their tentacles, tie up the prey and eat it.

Meng Zheng's actions this time were very clear. As long as they were carnivorous and aggressive, he would not let them go and would kill them first.

As the most cunning hunter in this area, the Stone Octopus cannot be let go easily.

Although they hid among the rocks and were unwilling to come out, they could not escape the fate of being wiped out.
