Chapter 304: Power of the Bronze Bells

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Musical House island wasn’t very high.

However, the island had a circle of reefs around itself, which could theoretically fend off most waves.

However, faced with such an enormous tide, the reefs that were no higher than five meters couldn’t be used as obstacles at all.

Boom!

The moment the tide and the reefs crashed, the attachments on those reefs were knocked away by the blast. Even the well-tempered reefs themselves were cracking.

That was because the tide wasn’t ordinary.

It was a “dragon-head tide” that contained various sorts of extraordinary powers, including a gigantic water dragon, a dozen Heavenly River soldiers, dozens of Water Demons, and altogether eight punches of the Dragon-Subduing Strike!

“T-Tsunami!”

After passing the reef area, the “dragon-head tide” didn’t stop at all but charged at the territory of the Magma Monsters after passing the burnt wood while the three or four surviving Musical House players looked at it in fear and shock.

Sizzle!

The territory of the Magma Monsters was full of burning magma. The moment the seawater touched it, abundant water was vaporized and rose to the sky as steam as if bombs were exploding.

However, the magma in the areas that weren’t maintained by the Fire Cores of the Magma Monsters was very thin.

It could not really block such a huge amount of seawater at all, and it was drowned by the “dragon-head tide” in the blink of an eye.

Boom, boom, boom...

Only the Extraordinary Magma Monsters were able to fortify their cannons by controlling the magma. They tried to move their Fire Cores to the top of the cannons so that they wouldn’t be swallowed by the tide.

“Attack!”

However, it was actually pointless.

That was because the navy units, such as the Water Demons and the Dragon Tooth Battalion, had followed the tide to the shore under the leadership of Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi.

With their Sea Stone weapons, they destroyed the cannons of the Extraordinary Magma Monsters who had almost completely lost their combat abilities when the magma was consolidated by seawater.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

They also located and executed the Fire Cores that bubbled and tried to flee after falling into the seawater with the infrared goggles they wore!

They all received offerings and spoils of war in the process.

“Come on, brothers! Let’s go!”

“We can’t let the navy claim all the credit!”

Furthermore, not just the special units in the navy, the land soldiers such as the Black Armored Battalion, the Silver Guards, and the Iron Buddhas were also able to act freely in the seawater after taking the powder of the golden corals.

They also landed on the Musical House island, and they competed with the navy to kill the Magma Monsters under the lead of their respective commanders!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Some Magma Monsters that were at higher altitudes and weren’t affected by the tide attempted to launch cannonballs at the Twin Dragon Island soldiers who were destroying the cannons.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

However, the smoking cannonballs from the sky were all blocked by the blue Soul Jade Shield that protected the soldiers before they hit their targets.

Even though they could destroy the shields with their high temperature, the soldiers who were attacked would have already been submerged in the seawater, so the fatal magma and fire would be cooled.

Furthermore, some units from the Twin Dragon Mount fort simply ignored the falling black cannonballs.

“Roar!”

An illusionary divine beast, which appeared to be a giant tortoise whose neck was tied by a serpent and covered a circle dozens of meters in diameter, roared and weakened all the magma cannonballs within the range.

Pa!

When the cannonballs fell to the ground, they were instantly cut into halves by the saber aura that was ablaze with blue flames.

It was the Yue Army, led by Wu Song who had also become Extraordinary Rank-8, in the Black Tortoise Formation, one of the Battle Formation of Four Symbols. They were like winged tigers in an environment that was full of water!

They weren’t very fast, but they were absolutely unstoppable!

Not just the soldiers and heroes, Ji Ye had personally stepped on the Musical House island too.

However, next to him was no longer Pei Xingnu with her pipa, but the two-meter-high bronze bells that were lifted by the white Dragon Aura.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ji Ye seemed to be slow on the sea, but he covered a distance of almost ten meters after each step.

It was Dive to Reduce the Distance, one of the 36 Heavenly Spirit techniques!

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Above his head, the bronze bells that were lifted by the cloudy Dragon Aura looked like magic artifacts that had fallen from paradise. The bells that represented the dragon’s nine sons were continuously echoing and sending out soundwaves that were almost concrete!

After the fusion the previous day, Ji Ye acquired another ability.

He could knock this “heavy treasure” remotely by combining his mental power with Dragon Aura.

Boom, boom, boom...

The green soundwaves that contained the power of the dragon roar spread out wherever Ji Ye went.

Everything that belonged to the Magma Monsters within a thirty-meter radius cracked and dismembered, falling into the seawater!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Even the hidden Fire Cores of the Magma Monsters collapsed into pieces of flames under the all-persuasive soundwaves.

[“You have killed a Magma Monster (Extraordinary Rank-2, Quasi-Commander). EXP gained: 350. Honor gained: 29!”]

[“You have killed a Magma Monster (Extraordinary Rank-4, Ordinary). EXP gained...”]

[“You have killed a Magma Monster (Extraordinary Rank-3, Elite)...”]

The Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells’ Transcendent ability to materialize soundwaves was truly tricky to the Magma Monsters. No wonder the Musical House was able to resist them for half a month despite all the disadvantages.

However, they were clearly too dependent on this “heavenly treasure”, to the point that they couldn’t put up any resistance after they lost the bronze bells.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The destroyed cannons and the magma that had been cooled down into rocks by seawater glowed and transformed into what appeared to be “dams” when Ji Ye walked by!

Did the Magma Monsters have other hidden methods?

Not exactly. It was Rock Relocation, one of the 36 Heavenly Spirit techniques.

In the glow of the earthen energy, dams rose from the ground and sealed some of the “openings” at lower altitudes on the Musical House island so that the tide would continue moving forward without flowing back to the sea through the lowland!

Of course, the Musical House island was too big for Ji Ye to accomplish the task by himself even though he had “Dive to Reduce the Distance”.

Therefore, the Heavenly River army that was led by Mister Bug became very handy at this moment.

Pew!

Mister Bug, enshrouded in a golden light, waved his rake and dug a trench several feet deep into the ground.

Then, he waved his hand, and stones appeared in the trench. They quickly expanded into large rocks in the water and combined into a dam that was almost nine feet tall!

It was the Water Fire Sand, a special resource from the Sand Monsters’ settlement!

Every Heavenly River soldier had carried a certain amount of sand. They went straight to the locations marked on Su Nongying’s 3D map that would “leak” according to the analysis of several players who specialized in water management and geography.

Even the amount of the Water Fire Sand to be used and the structure it should be built into had been discussed in detail.

Thanks to the dams that were built along with the tide, the “dragon-head tide” didn’t disappear after sweeping across the entire Musical House island. It kept a certain height as it rolled at the Lava Island, which was the Magma Monsters’ real territory!

However, the tide finally ran into an obstacle after breaking into the Lava Island.

Human beings weren’t the only people who knew that seawater could be blocked by dams!

Boom! Boom!

At the border between the Musical House Island and the Lava Island, a black dam that was more than one kilometer long and three meters high and thick suddenly rose from the ground.

“Roar!”

On the top of the black dam were a lot of gigantic monsters that were in various forms with yellow smoke rising to the sky and red light flashing in their eyes.

Every one of them was huge and suffocating to human beings!

“Everyone, be careful!”

“They’re Extraordinary Rank-5 Magma Monsters. Not only can they condense cannons, but they can also condense powerful magma bodies. They can fight as strongly in close range as they can remotely. Also, more than ten of them are rated as ‘Commanders’!”

Li Qing relayed the intelligence he learned from Pei Xingnu to all the commanders on the battlefield through wireless devices.

Ten Commander-level Magma Monsters, and dozens more Elite and Quasi-Commander ones... They would definitely be the trickiest enemies since the beginning of the battle.

Although the dragon-head tide was almost ten meters high at the beginning, it was man-made and lacked the continuous impetus of a real tide.

Also, it had crossed the whole Musical House island, and it was only about one meter high. It couldn’t surmount the black dam where yellow smoke was popping up!

Dum! Dum! Dum...

Instead, the Extraordinary Rank-5 Monsters waved the “arms”, “tails”, “claws”, “swords”, and “spears” that they condensed with magma and smashed a dozen Twin Dragon Mount soldiers who were charging in the lead to compete for credit down into the water.
