Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 73 Thunderstorm
Hong Lei and the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast took the lead, shuttling among the rocks, looking for traces of the Stone Hidden Octopus.

Meng Zhengze followed closely with the fishman guards and watched the thunder performance.

The Fishman Guards were too weak to deal with this group of giant octopuses. Although they had weapons and equipment, their small bodies could easily make them be swallowed if they weren't careful.

Therefore, Meng Zheng asked Gulugua to bring the fishman guards to gather around him and not go too far, otherwise there would be casualties.

Suddenly, a tentacle stretched out from the rocks and headed straight for Hong Lei.

But in front of Hong Lei's huge body, this tentacle seemed so small.

Not to mention the lightning shield that Hong Lei has, even if you touch Hong Lei, you can't cause any harm at all.

Hong Lei didn't care and sensed the appearance of the octopus. He immediately released a beam of lightning, trying to hit the hidden octopus.

However, the tentacle seemed to have a spirit and instantly retracted into the rocks, disappearing without a trace.

"These octopuses are really cunning," Meng Zheng thought to himself. He immediately shouted to Hong Lei, "Don't use the lightning column, just blast them!"

With the rocks blocking the way, this condensed lightning column could not cause much damage at all.

But as a thunderbolt, in this underwater environment, the thing it fears least is hiding.

Even if you hide again, can you still escape from the water?

Upon hearing this, Hong Lei exploded immediately. Countless lightning bolts were released from his body in an instant, forming a lightning storm directly in the water.

Crackling~
Rocks flew everywhere, and the water plants and seaweeds floating in the water were straightened by the electricity, and then slowly became charred and brittle.

Meng Zheng also hurriedly evacuated with the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast and the fish people. In this terrifying thunder and lightning storm, Hong Lei had lost control of it.

If you get too close, you will definitely be attacked by lightning.

Meng Zheng's wave shield, the protective shield of the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast, and Gulugua's activation of his own fishman aura finally minimized the impact of the lightning strike.

Even so, Meng Zheng could still feel the tingling electric current wandering through his body. Hong Lei was really furious and didn't care at all.

The fishmen's legs could no longer tread water. Their bodies were stiff, and they floated within Meng Zheng's shield, losing their ability to move.

"It seems that next time the thunder strikes, I have to run away in advance." Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Zheng was a little scared.

The power of lightning in water is so terrifying. It has a strong propagation ability and can penetrate everywhere. Even with the protection of two layers of shields, electric current still penetrates.

"Maybe I can bring Lan Che with me next time. This guy's bubbles can drain water, and maybe he can resist lightning." Thinking about it, Meng Zheng suddenly had a new idea.

As a membrane builder, Lan Che has many uses in combat, in addition to various architectural applications. As long as he uses it well, he can definitely achieve a surprise victory.

After watching the battle of the Thunder Narwhal, Meng Zheng realized that he must find a way to deal with thunder magic.

Among the underwater creatures, there are definitely quite a few wild monsters with thunder attributes. Meng Zheng alone knows of monsters such as electric eels, storm mermaids, and charging dragons.

If you encounter them, do you just sit there and wait for death? Absolutely not. You must find a way to restrain them.

The view turned back to the pile of rocks. Under the bombardment of thunder, the already broken rocks became even more tattered.

Looking around, there was no stone left standing. All had been smashed to pieces by the thunder and lightning, and the entire lake bottom was muddy and chaotic.

Through the turbid lake water, Meng Zheng observed that from time to time, a few twisted and shaking tentacles would emerge.

Apparently, this group of stone-hidden octopuses were blown out by the thunder, and their tentacles were electrocuted and flew off.

"My lord, we can't get through!" Gulugua kept looking at the scene in the distance through the shield, and was almost scared to pee.

When he was electrocuted, Gulugua almost saw his long-dead mother. He didn't expect that he could survive, which made Gulugua feel lucky.

Looking at the bubbles coming out in the distance and the roasted fish and tentacles, Gulugua knew without a second thought that he absolutely could not go there, otherwise he would definitely turn into fish soup.

"Don't worry, the thunder has been dealt with. There's no need to go over there." Through the shield's sensing, Meng Zheng naturally knew that after the thunder exploded, the temperature of the lake water rose sharply, almost turning it into boiling water.

There are only so many capable fighters in the merman tribe, and Meng Zheng still expects these guys to continue doing hard labor, so how could he let them die easily?

"Thank you, your Majesty, thank you, your Majesty!" Gulugua bent down and worshipped Meng Zheng.

The other fish-man guards were still in a state of stiffness, unable to speak, so Guluqua had to do the solo.

After the thrilling battle, Hong Lei swam over leisurely with the attitude of a winner, with a faint light of lightning surrounding its body, which was the symbol of its power.

Meng Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Hong Lei's smug look.

"Honglei, well done!" Meng Zheng praised, while thinking about the next plan in his mind.

Hong Lei seemed to understand Meng Zheng's praise. He swayed his body even more excitedly and chirped happily.

The surrounding lake water also trembled slightly under the aftermath of the lightning, and from time to time a few dazzling flashes of lightning would burst out and hit nearby objects.

"It seems that I still need to train Hong Lei's control." Meng Zheng thought to himself. Hong Lei was only a few days old and had a strong learning ability.

But once the ultimate skill is unleashed, without even saying hello, it is easy to severely injure teammates.

Underwater combat is so complicated. As a high-end combat force, Hong Lei cannot cooperate and randomly unleashes skills, which can easily cause harm to both the enemy and his own people.

Therefore, in the coming days, we must definitely strengthen Hong Lei's training and guidance so that it can better master its own power.

At this time, the surrounding lake water gradually returned to calm, and the rocks and seaweed shattered by thunder and lightning slowly settled to the bottom of the lake.

The tentacles of the Stone Hidden Octopus that were electrocuted and flew away were no longer moving. It was obvious that they had been completely cooked by the thunder and lightning.

Seeing this, Meng Zheng ordered Gulugua to take the fishman guards to start cleaning up the battlefield.

There must be treasure chests in the Stone Hidden Octopus community. Now that we have wiped them out, we must collect the spoils.

"Get up, get up, you useless bastard." Gulugua pushed and hit to wake up the fishmen who were still in a daze.

Although the fishmen were still a little frightened, under the leadership of Gulugua, they quickly swam out of the shield and started cleaning up.

They carefully carried away the rubble with spears and nets, constantly digging for treasure chests that might be stored somewhere.
