Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Extraordinary Lifeform (Part 2)
"Luo Kuan, are you crazy?!"
The person who fired the cannon was Luo Kuan!
At this moment, he was sitting behind the cannon seat, his entire body shrouded in darkness, his thoughts unknown.
Seeing Luo Kuan actually aim the cannon at the target they were supposed to rescue, everyone was stunned, eyes wide open, looking at Luo Kuan in bewilderment.
Luo Kuan is insane?!
That’s the person we’re supposed to rescue!
Why fire at those three people?
If the three of them are blown to pieces, this rescue mission is a complete failure.
Everyone had managed to get here despite the extremely harsh conditions.
Could it be that Luo Kuan...has already betrayed the sea ship?!
"No, that’s not right!"
Just then, Fang Yu suddenly spoke in a low voice, and a set of data appeared in his mind: data transmitted through Ma’s Brain Domain Sharing from Luo Kuan.
This set of data clearly calculated that in the area ahead, there’s a sea region where the energy level is fluctuating abnormally; obviously, something is hidden within and is about to erupt.
As the data continued to be calculated, Luo Kuan eventually deduced from a pile of data: something was about to leap out of the sea and attack the three people on the island.
This cannon shot’s target was not the three people, but the creature emerging from the sea, heading towards them to attack.
Indeed, as Luo Kuan’s cannonball roared out, soon a shadow leapt out of the sea, pouncing at the three people on the island.
Shockingly, it was a gigantic shark, covered with rows of dense scales, looking like it was clad in deep black armor.
On both sides of the shark, its swimming fins had surprisingly grown into what felt like bird wings.
Spread out, they span at least ten meters long, blocking out the sun.
With every flap, the shark could momentarily hover and glide in the air, enabling it to attack land creatures.
Transcendent life!
Normal sharks do not have scales nor do their fins evolve into feathers.
But evidently, this shark has evolved features not possessed by normal sharks.
Fang Yu even believes that, if evolution continues, this shark might someday develop flying abilities, leaving the sea to soar in the sky.
If that day comes, the current group, including Fang Yu, will be unable to deal with it.
"Boom!"
Just then, the cannonball fired by Luo Kuan collided head-on with the suddenly emerging shark.
This scene looked like the shark specifically leapt up to meet the cannonball.
At that moment, the exploding cannonball directly knocked the shark askew and it fell back into the water.
Yet, from the Brain Domain shared by Ma, Fang Yu saw the shark was unharmed, only the armor of scales shed off.
Floating on the sea were only scales, without any trace of blood staining red.
A single cannonball, aside from its initial energy level of 50, also had Fang Yu’s own captain’s power level added, plus Luo Kuan’s innate talent, making the explosion’s power probably reach 70-80 energy level now.
But even this level of power failed to inflict much damage on the shark, only blowing off some scales.
"Damn it, is this thing so tough?!"
"I thought that maneuver was awesome..."
Luo Kuan cursed at the rear of the cannon, turning back to fiercely stare at the sea ahead, with a look of frustration in one eye; while the other eye...
Had been replaced by a golden Alchemy義眼, now emitting gold light in the darkness.
"Luo Kuan, your eye?!"
At this moment, some crew members finally noticed Luo Kuan’s eye had turned into a golden Alchemy义眼, and their faces showed shock.
"How does it look? Cool, right?" Luo Kuan boastfully blurted from behind the cannon, saying loudly to everyone: "That predictive shot was impressive, wasn’t it? Bro is a Transcendent now!"
The crew, initially shocked, showed expressions of disdain at Luo Kuan’s boast: enough of the pretense...
Admittedly that predictive shot was impressive... but fiddling around is not welcomed before me.
Among the group showing disdain, only Ma coughed lightly, with a sense of deeply hiding one’s talents and achievements.
Predictive shot?
Without my Brain Domain boost, what would you predict?!
Just moments ago, when Luo Kuan’s data surged into Ma’s shared Brain Domain, Ma was stunned, then quickly inferred the shark’s subsequent trajectory.
At that instant, both Luo Kuan and Ma suddenly realized...
Their Extraordinary abilities could indeed produce synergy and cooperation!
Luo Kuan’s Alchemy义眼 could capture data, assess energy levels, and aim precisely, even factoring in the sea breeze, distance, and other influences; Luo Kuan could make precise judgments.
Ma’s Extraordinary ability, besides Brain Domain Sharing, actually had a hidden ability: thought speed enhancement.
Handling information from more than ten crew members simultaneously, this ability endows Ma with fast information processing and computational capacity, greatly increasing his thought speed.
At that moment, once Luo Kuan’s data was projected into Ma’s mind, Ma’s thought speed began to play its role, immediately assisting Luo Kuan in inference and prediction.
Luo Kuan’s predictive shot maneuver would have been cautious without Ma’s inference, not daring to boldly fire towards the island.
If that Transcendent life hadn’t jumped, an errant cannonball on the island could blow the three people apart, enraging the captain on the spot...
"Watch out, it’s coming!"
At this moment, Fang Yu’s voice echoed through the Brain Domain Sharing, resonating in each crew member’s mind.
Everyone snapped back to attention, refocusing on the encounter with the Transcendent life before them.
"So fast!"
Someone gasped.
Deep in the ocean, there was a gigantic dark shadow speeding fiercely toward the Salted Fish.
The shadow’s speed was extreme.
The crew saw it moments ago from a distance, but in an instant it charged forward, colliding with the Salted Fish.
"Thud!"
A muffled sound shook the shield on the Salted Fish violently.
The ship rocked continuously, causing everyone on board to stagger, while a few unlucky crew members fell straight onto the deck.
Sea ship shield durability: 93/100% → 47/100%
A single push from Transcendent life had such terrifying force, instantly slashing through nearly half the ship shield’s durability.
Fang Yu’s expression shifted slightly, immediately tearing open a Sea Ship Repair Scroll, restoring the ship’s durability.
Then he raised his sniper rifle, aimed at the shark below, shouting loudly to Luo Kuan and three cannon handlers: "Ship cannons, attack!"
