Chapter 411 - 380: Rise to the Surface

Chapter 411: Chapter 380: Rise to the Surface

As the giant ship slowly ascended, the gravity disruption area rapidly expanded,

and the entire island shook violently. Sand, stones, grass, and the people by the pit edge were all lifted into the air, even the eight-hundred-kilogram Gray Rain flew up.

Li Cheng crouched on a roof eave, looking downwards, only to see that half of Red Island had been "squeezed" out of the sea like a pimple.

All around the waters, hundreds of ships were floating, emblazoned with the Great Ming flags.

The waves undulated unpredictably, and the ships swayed accordingly.

The commander on the flagship shouted loudly, directing his subordinates to blow the bugle and signal flags. After a brief delay, the broadsides of all the warships opened fire, launching cannonballs towards the giant frog in the sky.

The closer to the giant frog, the more apparent the gravitational effects.

The cannonballs, no longer bound by Earth’s gravity, exceeded their original range by a large margin, blasting through obstructing trees, striking the three-legged giant frog and its bronze giant ship beneath it.

"Boom——"

The surface of the bronze giant ship erupted in dazzling fireballs, momentarily halting its ascent.

As for the giant frog, its epidermis was torn open, oozing black oil.

Slowly, the Frog God lowered its head and belatedly let out an angry hum; the second volley of incoming cannonballs shrank inexplicably in midair, becoming tiny pellets unable to penetrate the bronze hull.

This space distortion ability originates from the same source as the traits exhibited by the Divine Shedding Scale. Like a wall of sighs, it blocks all external attacks.

Lu Hu, also floating in the air, had a face that changed repeatedly; he saw clearly that the fleet drifting on the sea was none other than the Great Ming Navy.

Pifu, Wang Biliu, and Tu Wangjuan had spoken the truth.

"..."

Screens of his thirty-something years of life flashed before his eyes: the hardships of working at the Border Army Guard when he was a child, the frustration of studying at the Jinyi Guard in his youth, the spirited ambition when dressed in a Flying Fish Suit with a Luan Belt Embroidered Spring Saber in hand.

His body instinctively trembled, his hands and feet turned cold, and his palms sweated.

He had never been so nervous before, not when he first killed a fugitive, not on his wedding night, nor even when he held his first child.

"Sikong, my brother,"

Lu Hu spoke hoarsely, facing the bewildered gaze of Sikong Lan, he gave a relieved smile, "I leave my family to you from now on."

Sikong Lan suddenly realized something and hurriedly reached out to catch Lu Hu, but it was too late.

Lu Hu activated the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique once again, stomping through floating trees and dashing swiftly amidst rubble, heading straight for the bronze giant ship.

He abandoned the Single Soldier Rocket Launcher, firmly bound the Embroidered Spring Saber to his right hand with a strip of cloth, grabbed the edge of the bronze ship with his left hand, flipped onto the deck, and faced the Frog God.

Hundreds of writhing melted human bodies, combined with indistinguishable rotting substances, constituted the frog’s hide.

Just a glance made one’s mind overheat and consciousness blur. Thousands of whispers, spanning three thousand years, seemed to echo in one’s ears.

But, so what?

In the end,

pay tribute to the gallant in the golden tower, and wield the jade dragon to die for thee.

Lu Hu gritted his teeth with a sinister smile, his aura faintly breaking through the Innate Peak, slashing into the Frog God’s body, the mighty Inner Strength embedding into the blade’s edge, splitting open the tough hide.

Rip.

The hide split open with a sound, and gushing black oil sprayed out like slurry.

The giant frog let out an angry hum, raised its forelimb, and swatted Lu Hu directly away, crashing heavily into the bronze shiphead. It then unleashed an invisible force, compressing space.

Lu Hu, originally over 1.9 meters tall and broad-shouldered, visibly shrunk at an alarming speed. Even the Embroidered Spring Saber in his hand shrank proportionately.

Thunk!

Lu Hu stomped on the bronze ground and leaped again, charging straight at the Frog God.

The cannonballs flying in from afar would be shrunk into pellets by the space distortion ability,

but as long as he got close enough, he might break through the constraint.

And that distance was...

"Six zhang!"

Lu Hu’s voice echoed in the sky, his figure slowing the shrinking process as he entered the twenty-meter range of the Frog God.

However, against the hill-like, resiliently strong Frog God, it was still akin to a mantis trying to stop a vehicle.

The three-legged Frog God, now bearing several wounds, lost all patience, supporting its body with one hind leg, it swung its two forelegs left and right at Lu Hu.

At the critical moment, two hands grabbed Lu Hu’s back collar, pulling him away from the original spot.

A turn of the head revealed Kuyu Monk, Wang Biliu, and Li Cheng.

All three had their bodies reduced to different extents, especially Li Cheng, who was significantly attended to, his height barely at one and a half meters, looking rather comical.

Lu Hu was stunned, "You guys?... "

Wang Biliu ignored him, silently gripping a dagger and looking at the Frog God. Kuyu took a deep breath and solemnly said to Lu Hu: "I am not fighting for Emperor Yong’an, but for the people of Great Ming."

Half of Red Island had already risen to the high sky, with a different ascent speed from the bronze giant ship.

In other words, once the bronze ship detached from the earth and flew to the moon to return home, the billion-ton rock of the island itself would still fall back down.

Either splashing into the sea to trigger a tsunami or crashing onto the mainland to cause an earthquake.

The estimated casualties are incalculable.

"Thank you."

Lu Hu didn’t know if he was thanking for himself or thanking for the people of Great Ming, supporting himself on the deck to stand, they stood together, facing the Frog God.

The full moon’s light poured over the bronze ship; the farther from the sea surface, the more stable the giant frog’s form became, its gaze clearer.

Clang!

The one-and-a-half-meter-tall Li Cheng planted the Steel Banner Spear into the deck, flexed his limbs, and calmly said, "When the fight starts, keep your distance from me."

Without waiting for the other three to question, Li Cheng pulled the Liangyi Blade from the void, the jade blade slicing from his left shoulder to his right waist.

The blood evaporated into a mist, manifesting the Insect Form,

leaving deep footprints on the deck with his powerful, knee-reversed legs, in a blink crossing the shiphead, slashing towards the giant frog with the Mantis Arm Bone Blade.

"Ribbit—"

The Frog God’s vocal sacs on both sides of its head swelled rapidly, emitting a muffled sound; a fierce illusion assaulted everyone’s minds.

Bridal chamber, name on the golden scrolls, returning home in glory, achieving fame and success...

Unprecedented satisfaction filled their hearts, making one feel elated, almost indulging in it involuntarily.

"Is that it? It feels less exciting than pretending to play a VR game after eating a plate of cold-hand salad."

Li Cheng sneered, the Vast Sea Soul-locking Bell on his wrist jingled, dispelling all illusions.

The Instant Thunder and Leopard Jump Double Jump skills activated simultaneously, his speed soared again, about to strike the Frog God,

Clang!

A dozen iron cannonballs, enlarged several times, came straight at him, blocking Li Cheng’s path,

He had no choice but to twist and change his move, dodging, retreating, and again creating distance.

The Frog God also possessed prophetic abilities, able to predict Li Cheng’s next move.

At the same time, although its scaling ability had a minimum range of twenty meters and couldn’t distort nearby objects,

it could remotely enlarge cannonballs passing twenty meters away, turning them into barriers through its gravitational field.
