Chapter 451: 434: Critical Turning Point!
Translator: 549690339
Although the proposal to build dozens of Ming Wheel ships was postponed, the[King of the Ocean]was still reluctant to continue making rafts.
With his shipbuilding skills, if it were a dragon-slaying technique, it wouldn’t be a problem. But now, it was clearly time to showcase his talents. How could he possibly bear it?
Using his craftsmanship for making rafts would be such a waste!
Finally, the Sea King changed his approach and decided to take a step back: “If I can’t make a fifty-meter long ship, can I at least make an eight-meter long boat?”
But the process took far longer than he had imagined.
The main problem was the issue of tools and materials.
He had no choice but to assemble the hull using mortise and tenon joints.
─ It wasn’t because he couldn’t bring nails; it was because he thought nails were not strong enough.
He couldn’t bring the engine without widening the caves. His original idea was to go back to the amusement park, dismantle a smaller shuttle bus, and see if he could find a smaller engine.
But in the live broadcast room, a boss suddenly asked in the comments: “Why not directly dismantle the engine of an off-road vehicle?”
“Ah?” The Sea King was stunned, “Even if I dismantle it, I won’t be able to move it.”
The boss then said, “I mean, dismantle the engine!”
The Sea King’s face read, “Can you do that?”
He hesitated for a while before continuing, “The problem is, I don’t know how to do that.”
As a result, that boss instantly got excited: “I know how! I specialize in dismantling and cleaning engines!”
In this way, the boss joined the Sea King’s team, found professional tools and toolboxes in the Metropolis, and demonstrated in front of the Sea King and his teammates how to dismantle the off-road vehicle engine into individual parts.
Even when he was halfway through the dismantling, he would continue further if the Sea King hadn’t stopped him, saying that the engine could already pass through the cave...
And so, the engine problem was solved.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Last but not least, weapons. He was originally fond of traditional “ram” designs.
Considering the boat was not big enough, less than ten meters long, using a blunt weapon would undoubtedly lose against ocean behemoths more than a dozen meters long.
Finally, he remembered the giant blade on Lincoln’s heavy truck and immediately decided to replicate it.
However, the processing time of the giant blade far exceeded his expectations!
Using welding tools and angle grinders, he put a lot of effort into finally completing this rough “giant blade”.
But the rough appearance did not affect its power!
It might not be able to compete with Lincoln’s “technology-enhanced” giant blade, which cuts steel like tofu, but it would be absolutely sufficient for cutting through flesh and blood!
Although the giant blade had delayed the Sea King, it was worth the time spent now that it was finally completed and could join the battlefield.
As soon as it approached the “frontline”, the surrounding battles immediately became more intense. The Sea King targeted a Helicoprion nibbling on a raft, and charged straight at it!
The Helicoprion was almost the same size as the Sea King’s boat, but the Sea King’s “armed speedboat” rushed over the shark’s body without any hindrance!
The well-prepared crew had already secured themselves in advance, and they were not shaken by the impact.
Looking back, the ferocious Helicoprion was almost cut in half by the giant blade right through the middle of its body!
Blood was everywhere!
It died on the spot!
The players on the rescued raft waved their arms and cheered at the Sea King’s speedboat: “Awesome!”
The audience who saw this scene also exclaimed:
“Invincible!”
“Cool!”
“Translator, translate! What is the power of technology!”
“You use a 21st-century blade to slay my Paleozoic fish?!”
In pain, the Dragon King Whale couldn’t help but reveal its head above the water, trying to ram the raft and struggle free.
What awaited it, though, were six more spears!
“Plunge,” “plunge,” “plunge”...
With barely noticeable sounds, all the spears were deeply pierced into the Dragon King Whale’s body.
The Dragon King Whale suddenly thrashed violently, breaking several spears.
But Super Tomato didn’t panic: “Swap spears! Continue!”
The team members immediately threw away the broken handles, picked up new spears, and continued stabbing!
After struggling and convulsing for a moment, the enormous Dragon King Whale finally lost all its strength, sank into the sea, and stopped moving.
The music played, and the light gathered!
Everyone realized that this was – a brand-new achievement!
But before they could feel excited, the spear in their hands suddenly shook, almost slipping out.
The few spears that pinned the tail to the raft also trembled incessantly.
The next moment, an even more intense tremor struck!
Since the achievement notification had already appeared, it clearly wasn’t a Dragon King Whale resurgence.
Super Tomato quickly blinked, thinking of another possibility: something else was biting the Dragon King Whale beneath them.
“Pull them all out! Let it sink!”
Everyone hastily withdrew their spears, and the Dragon King Whale was pulled down from the raft. Almost immediately, huge amounts of blood gushed up from the depths of the water.
–The wounds inflicted by the spears were small holes, and this bleeding was obviously not caused by the spears.
Super Tomato suddenly straightened up, no longer focusing on the players and sea monsters engaged in the chaotic battle but looking at the dead sharks floating on the sea surface.
Originally, the shark corpses floating belly-up on the water were soon surrounded by more sharks that tore and devoured them!
Even behemoths would emerge, attacking and biting the dead and alive sharks together while swallowing them!
Super Tomato once again shifted his focus back to the players and the Spiral-toothed Sharks in the chaotic battle.
With a guess in his heart, it wasn’t hard for him to find more clues.
He soon noticed that even if they weren’t dead but instead injured and bleeding, as long as the wound was big enough and the bleeding excessive, sharks would be attacked by their own kind!
Considering the dead Dragon King Whale and the huge tearing force underwater, this rule apparently applied to top-level predators as well!
Moreover, this wasn’t just an issue with the attack pattern; it also indicated that these sea monsters truly needed to feed!
And the act of feeding itself had extraordinary significance.
Super Tomato’s eyes gleamed, as he thought he had discovered the key.
However, it still needed to be verified.
Out of caution, he didn’t jump to conclusions and didn’t directly send his conjectures to the [Combat Group Chat]; instead, he loudly commanded the team and started adjusting their tactics:
“Adjust our course, target – the behemoth! It’s okay if we can’t kill it; try to inflict as many wounds as possible!”
“On the way, don’t let any shark pass by! Kill as many as you can, but if you can’t, at least bleed them!”
While commanding his team, Super Tomato couldn’t help but feel surging excitement.
–If the situation was as he thought, then this might become the most critical turning point in this operation!
As Super Tomato’s “Raft Battleship” began to show its power, at a location close to the front line,
Looking at the nearly reachable 50m line and the Pterosaur swarm covering the sky,
Five players on a raft put on sunglasses, stuffed earplugs, and wore noise-canceling earmuffs.
Only after they felt fully prepared did they finally open the panel and materialize a series of [Bathing Lady Statues].
They also felt that they would become the most critical turning point of this operation!
