Sonic Attack

Plop!

Luo Feng plunged into the waters of the Huangpu River. Underwater, his naked eye could only discern strange, grotesque aquatic monsters. Immediately, his mental force spread out, covering a hundred-meter radius around him! Within this hundred-meter range, there were over a hundred different species of fish-like monsters, along with numerous other crustaceans and various other creatures.

“Such a vast number,” Luo Feng mused, feeling an even greater sense of the threat sea monsters posed to humanity.

He continued to dive deeper!

***

Meanwhile, numerous saucer-shaped fighter jets soared through the sky, showering down large quantities of new solidified incendiary bombs like falling petals. The bombs covered a thousand-meter radius around the war base, including both banks of the Huangpu River and its surface. This was the weapon most detested by sea monsters!

Whoosh, whoosh~~~

Instantly, the thousand-meter radius became a raging inferno! While the bodies of sea monsters were generally impervious to flames, their internal moisture rapidly evaporated under the intense heat!

Some coelenterate monsters, such as jellyfish, might survive on land for two or three hours after mutation. However, when subjected to these flames, with their moisture rapidly evaporating, they couldn't last even two or three minutes! Depending on the species, their endurance in the flames varied.

The solidified incendiary bombs continued to burn even when scattered on the water's surface!

Water couldn't extinguish them! Covering them with soil wouldn't put them out either! If they stuck to a monster, rolling around wouldn't remove the flames; instead, it would only spread them further across the body! This meant that even if a monster escaped the inferno, it would still be ablaze.

It was, without a doubt, the most detested weapon of the sea monsters!

Undeniably—

Under the raging inferno, the overall combat strength of the sea monsters plummeted by seventy percent!

***

Even so, it was still extremely difficult for the war base to withstand this wave of attacks.

At the bottom of the Huangpu River, over fifty meters deep.

Decades of relentless assaults by sea monsters and the impact of colossal aquatic creatures had indeed made the Huangpu River much deeper than before.

“Are these the three big ones?” Under the illumination of the raging flames on the river surface, Luo Feng, at the riverbed, immediately spotted three massive creatures in the distance. The shortest of these behemoths was approximately 60 meters long, while the longest reached an astonishing 90-plus meters.

If they stood upright, they would be as tall as a thirty-story building!

Their common trait was… sharp, pointed horns! The sharp horns on their heads relentlessly slammed into the foundations of the war base. Each impact allowed their horns to penetrate seven or eight meters deep, causing the entire base to tremble. However, the width of the penetration wasn't enough for their massive bodies to enter.

So, they could only repeatedly ram, creating enough width to advance a few meters, then continue their frenzied assault!

Currently, they had only penetrated about ten meters.

“Two Zhenshan Whales? And one… Shatian Beast?” Luo Feng’s heart jolted. The largest one was indeed the Shatian Beast, while the other two Zhenshan Whales, judging by their size, appeared to be mid-tier monster lords. And that Shatian Beast… it should be a high-tier monster lord!

Normally, Luo Feng wouldn't be concerned about a high-tier monster lord at his current level.

But this was a Shatian Beast!

Although Luo Feng knew little about sea monsters in general, he was quite familiar with some of the most famous and terrifying aquatic monsters, and the Shatian Beast was precisely one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean.

“The Shatian Beast possesses boundless strength, and its most potent attack is—sonic attack!”

“Sonic attack?”

Luo Feng frowned slightly, immediately activating his Black God Set to form earplugs, sealing his ears. The black helmet also formed a thick protective layer around his ears.

“First, eliminate the Shatian Beast as quickly as possible, then deal with the two Zhenshan Whales.”

Stepping on his Duntiansuo, Luo Feng transformed into a black lightning bolt and shot forward!

It had to be said, the Duntiansuo was truly miraculous. Luo Feng's flight underwater even gained an acceleration effect! It was indeed a treasure that even Hong valued immensely.

“Roar—”

The colossal Shatian Beast suddenly turned its head and, without any warning, let out a piercing sound, which then became silent.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~~

The water between the Shatian Beast and Luo Feng instantly formed a vacuum channel. The water around Luo Feng completely vanished, and the terrifying sonic wave struck Luo Feng in an instant! Its speed was so immense that Luo Feng had no chance to dodge. This sonic attack, which had terrified countless Wargods on Earth, now impacted Luo Feng.

As the sonic wave passed through the special material of the Black God Set, it was drastically attenuated!

With Luo Feng’s ears specifically protected, the 'head'—the most vulnerable target for sonic attacks—easily weathered this ordeal.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng only felt a slight headache, with no other ill effects, and couldn't help but smile. “The Black God Set is truly formidable!”

“It can withstand sharp attacks.”

“It can greatly weaken impact forces.”

“It can even significantly attenuate sonic waves.”

This peculiar treasure, originating from Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, was indeed miraculous.

Whoosh!

Having withstood the sonic attack, Luo Feng immediately transformed into a streak of lightning and charged towards the colossal Shatian Beast. But just then… the water beside Luo Feng began to vibrate, and invisible attacks assailed him.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Six curved blades, like streaks of moonlight, swept through the water seventy to eighty meters to his front-left. Immediately, painful shrieks erupted, the river water churned, and milky-white blood spread out.

“Hmph, transparent jellyfish-like monsters trying to ambush a mental force user, seeking death!” Luo Feng sneered inwardly.

Among sea monsters, there were many types of jellyfish-like creatures. Of those discovered so far, three species were completely transparent, invisible to the naked eye! Although their attack methods differed, they were collectively known as 'transparent jellyfish-like monsters.' For human warriors, they posed a significant threat.

Invisible to the naked eye, but Luo Feng’s mental force scan had long since detected it.

“Shatian Beast! Zhenshan Whale!” Luo Feng’s gaze was like a butcher’s, slaughtering lambs, as he charged towards the three colossal monster lords!

***

This war between humans and monsters was as brutal as ever!

It continued until eight o’clock the next morning.

Although the sea monsters failed to breach the war base, a few individual monster lords still managed to infiltrate! Moreover, large groups of sea monsters capable of 'discharging electricity,' and vast swarms that could spray 'venom,' or even launch 'bubbles' like shockwaves—various bizarre sea monster attacks—infiltrated the war fortress, causing significant casualties among human soldiers.

***

In the war base command hall.

Military high-ranking officials and the Wargods who had assisted in the battle were gathered there, all in good spirits.

“Thank you all. This time, we successfully repelled a wave of sea monster attacks! I estimate that within six months, the sea monsters won’t launch another attack of this magnitude.” Commander Li Dawei was in excellent spirits. Although the losses this time were not insignificant, they were much lighter compared to previous encounters.

The greatest contributor… was Luo Feng!

Among the Wargods present, including the military’s own Wargods, only Luo Feng and Lei Meng possessed the Black God Set! While Lei Meng was formidable, sea monsters could escape if they couldn't win. Lei Meng could defeat monster lords, but killing them was extremely difficult.

Luo Feng was different!

With his Duntiansuo and his ability to control flying blades, what monster lord could outpace the speed of his blades?

Each one met its demise!

In this battle!

Lei Meng killed two monster lords! He also repelled many at critical moments, providing significant assistance to the military.

Luo Feng killed fifteen monster lords!

“Wargods, please sell the monster materials you’ve acquired to my HR Alliance!” an elder in the command hall said with a smile.

“Those planning to sell to the Martial Arts Hall, come to me,” Commander Li Dawei chuckled.

Wargods fought for the military, risking their lives, and generally didn't demand payment for their services. However, for the monsters they personally killed, if the corpses could be recovered, they would usually sell them to the HR Alliance, as the HR Alliance offered the highest prices! The Huaxia Nation military also strongly supported this.

Because the HR Alliance was able to thrive in the Huaxia Nation, the state also held interests in it behind the scenes.

“This time, Inspector Luo Feng made the most money.”

“Inspector Luo Feng, you’ve struck it rich this time.”

A group of Wargods congratulated him with smiles.

Because Luo Feng had held the line, none of the Wargods on the front lines of the war base died this time! So everyone was in good spirits.

“Forget the other monster lords, I have materials from three monster lords here.” Luo Feng’s large black backpack automatically opened, and a large quantity of monster materials tumbled onto the ground. Although he had killed fifteen, Luo Feng had only collected the important parts of the three most powerful ones while killing them, storing them in his backpack.

He had only collected three monster lords, all high-tier monster lords. As for the others… consider it a donation to the country!

“Haha, then I’ll shamelessly accept them,” Li Dawei said, not refusing.

“Commander Li, you’re not even being modest,” a Wargod beside him immediately laughed.

Li Dawei chuckled, “Luo Feng is such a big shot, does he care about such a small amount?”

Of the fifteen monster lords, the most valuable were the three Luo Feng kept for himself.

The elder next to him, who was inspecting the materials from the three high-tier monster lord corpses, couldn’t help but glare at Li Dawei: “Old Li, although the other monster lords were mostly low-tier or mid-tier, their sheer number adds up. I estimate they’re worth around thirty billion!” A low-tier monster lord could fetch anywhere from 5 billion to 30 billion Huaxia dollars from the HR Alliance. A mid-tier monster lord was 15 billion to 90 billion!

The twelve Luo Feng killed, mostly low-tier and a few mid-tier, indeed totaled around thirty billion.

“Shatian Beast?”

“Nine-Headed Serpent Dragon?”

The elder was incredibly astonished as he examined the materials. The Shatian Beast and the Nine-Headed Serpent Dragon were both extremely formidable among high-tier monster lords, even stronger than the Iron Armored Dragon. Because both lived in the sea, killing them was even more difficult.

“I’ll price these two at 20 billion each, and the other one at 12 billion, totaling 52 billion Huaxia dollars,” the elder said with a smile.

“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded.

***

Luo Feng wasn't particularly happy about this war. Money? After becoming an invincible Wargod, money was secondary; true treasures couldn't be bought with money.

At the war base.

Li Dawei personally escorted Luo Feng out, walking side-by-side outside the base.

“What were the losses this time?” Luo Feng inquired.

“Over a thousand soldiers died, and nearly a thousand more were crippled,” Li Dawei sighed, shaking his head. “This time was considered good. With you here, the most threatening monster lords were all dealt with, making it much easier for us to cope. You alone are worth two hundred thousand troops! In the past…”

Li Dawei couldn't help but shake his head.

The casualties in the war against sea monsters were too heavy for humanity; otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately used this opportunity to gather Wargods.

“Moreover—”

Li Dawei shook his head with a bitter smile, “The hundreds of millions of sea monsters we killed this time are just a drop in the ocean compared to the countless monsters in the entire ocean! Just a drop in the ocean!”
