Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Crisis Lurks Everywhere

The helicopter was still circling in the sky, and even the Gatling gun fired from above, its noise comparable to thunder. The thick trees and branches trembled violently under the fierce shooting, making a mournful noise, indicating that the battlefield was actually not far from Gu Fan and his team.

Just as everyone thought that the helicopter was powerful and its firepower was impressive, feeling that the mercenaries could easily suppress with air support, suddenly one of the helicopters was attacked by an unknown cause, lost control in the air, and then crashed.

Even from a distance, Gu Fan and the others could hear the sound of the helicopter exploding, and their hearts all tightened.

Lu Yi patted her rapidly beating heart, then couldn’t help but say, "We’re all mercenaries, look at them fighting desperately, and you’re slacking off. Aren’t you ashamed? Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Is your skin really that thick?"

The members of the Lightning and Flame Mercenary Corps were speechless, not wanting to bother with Lu Yi, but she added another comment, "Look how professional they are, I feel like we can’t justify not participating."

Hearing this, Gu Fan immediately tensed up and hurriedly called out, "Everyone get ready, be prepared to join the fight at any moment."

"What? What?" Many people were frustrated, wondering if Gu Fan had spotted some situation.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but sigh and even patted Lu Yi on the shoulder, "If you can’t help speaking up next time, could you please type it out in the group chat, so we can all take a look first?"

"Okay... fine..." Lu Yi felt a bit embarrassed, scratching her head.

At this time, the others still didn’t know what was going on, nor understood why Gu Fan was shouting, but Su Hui and Ouyang Jin had some guesses. They trusted Gu Fan’s judgment and immediately became alert.

After a long while, the surroundings were still calm without any abnormalities, just when everyone thought that Gu Fan was overly nervous, suddenly the people on the last boat spotted unusual ripples on the surface of the water, as if something had just surfaced and then dived back down.

Looking closely, even more closely, there was a dark mass under the water, like a large fish was approaching, and immediately the people on the last boat let out a cry of alarm.

It was too late for anything, the large fish directly nudged the rubber boat with unthinkable force, almost capsizing it if not for the weight of the eight people.

In their fear, everyone picked up their weapons and fired into the water, bullets flying chaotically, splashing water everywhere, making the scene even more chaotic.

A dark, pitch-black fish suddenly leaped out of the water, knocking down two people, throwing them into the river, and also causing the boat to become unstable, nearly throwing everyone overboard.

Everyone saw the shape of that big black fish—it resembled a fish, but its head was unlike anything normal, angular and sharp, like a monster.

Being at the back, Gu Fan couldn’t see what was happening and was anxious, but hearing the cries of despair, he knew the situation was grim.

"My god, what is that thing?" Lu Yi saw a big black fish leap out of the water, feeling it could swallow a person whole.

Lin Xi immediately cast a spell, controlling nearby birds to fly over to provide her with a view, and when she saw that big black fish leap out of the water, she noticed its eyes were completely black.

"This is bad, that must be a blood-sucking fish, we’re in trouble," said Lin Xi. The words confirmed their fears; Gu Fan began to sweat, immediately grabbing the walkie-talkie, "Be careful, everyone. A blood-sucking fish is coming from behind, I hate this place."

Lin Xi held a wooden spike, then she blankly looked at Gu Fan and asked, "Do you know where the heart of a fish is located?"

Gu Fan countered with a question, "How did you know the position of the vampire tiger’s heart last time?"

"I can hear the heartbeat to determine the position, but this fish is in the water, I can’t hear it, and moreover, it’s so far away." Lin Xi had just finished speaking when not only from behind but also from the front, an attack came.

"Oh my god, here comes a big one." Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Lin Xi watched as one boat after another was pushed aside by the huge fish that charged recklessly through the water.

Fortunately, not a single boat capsized, though stabilizing them took some effort, and most of them were quite frightened, people were stunned.

Seeing that the monster fish was charging their way, Lin Xi’s phoenix eyes showed her might as she swiftly cast a spell, erecting a Protective Barrier in front of them.

With a loud boom, the giant black fish slammed into the Protective Barrier, rolled over slightly, and then immediately changed direction.

With the crisis averted, Lu Yi couldn’t help but praise, "Miss Lin, you’re really something. At a critical moment, you’re the most reliable."

To this, Lin Xi gave him a sidelong glance, "At critical moments, how come you don’t mention your own failure?"

"You guys have known me for long enough," Lu Yi responded with an expression of helplessness, but now was not the time to talk about that.

Several giant black fish lunged out of the water, landing on the rubber boats, opening their mouths full of sharp teeth, and began to frantically bite at the people on the boats. The scene, along with the wailing, was as terrifying as could be.

Eight people on a boat, with nowhere to escape, watched as from all four directions giant black fish lunged with open teeth. Seeing people next to them being bitten and dragged away brought an unbearable terror.

Under her breath, Lin Xi cast a spell to summon a bolt of lightning that struck the water, electrocuting the giant black fish making them roll uncontrollably. Naturally, this affected several nearby boats to some extent, but there was nothing that could be done.

At this moment, Su Hui, looking spirited and valiant with a crossbow in hand, jumped from one boat to another, calling out urgently, "Who knows where the heart of a fish is located?"

Taking advantage of the moment when a fish flipped out of the water, Lin Xi heard its faint heartbeat and immediately pointed out, "Sister Su, it’s in that position."

Without a word, Su Hui aimed her crossbow and fired a wooden arrow, hitting the target squarely.

Suddenly, a giant black fish leapt high from under the water, opening its mouth wide and lunging towards Su Hui. The sight was too terrifying, and everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

With Su Hui’s skill, she naturally sensed the danger. She spun around, the stake piercing directly into the fish’s heart, and then with a kick, she sent the giant black fish tumbling back into the water. Her movements were clean and decisive, executed in one fluent motion.

With two giant black fish taken down by one person, everyone was amazed, silently praising this woman’s martial prowess as being incredibly formidable.

"They’re not ordinary people?" The deputy leader of the Lightning Mercenary Corps had only now realized that their decision not to trouble these people last time had been the right one. She had almost challenged Su Hui to a duel. How could she possibly have won?

Seeing the disbelief in the eyes of the two mercenary groups as they looked at Su Hui, some even appeared completely dumbfounded, Lu Yi joked, "How about that, are you impressed? Do you want me to ask her for an autograph for you?"
