Chapter 258: A Bloody Affair
The fish had already smelled them and since most of the people who came today were superpower users, they had a special appeal for the fish.
Just like the humans were using crystal cores to improve their strength and level up their superpowers, so do other creatures.
Now with so many people at the same place meant that the smell of vitality, particularly for the fish that had already turned into zombies, was too attractive to ignore. Thus, they were already attacking.
With a slash of the sword they were holding, Li Kian and Qi Long acted at the same time. They lifted their swords above their heads and brought them down with all their strength. The water pillar that had almost crashed into them was split into three parts and immediately disintegrated.
When the others saw this they knew that the fish meant serious business and they too needed to step up their efforts.
As such, a situation occurred where fish and humans engaged in a battle that left both sides bloodied.
A fish would swing its tail and slap a person who if not paying attention would end up thrown into the air and hit back down in the water with several injuries. After a few minutes of fighting chaotically, the people finally figured out each other’s strengths and weaknesses and came up with a plan to outsmart the fish.
Therefore, the real battle began. Those with superpowers paired with those without to launch long-range attacks while those with no superpower concentrated on close combat. This method will help in confusing the fish to ensure that injuries are reduced.
Hence, Chichi, who was paired with two other soldiers she had met the day before and got along well, focused on one fish. She had realized that her superpower worked better when the opponent was not completely alert.
In that case, she and the other two stood on the two sides of the fish and attacked it with the weapons in their hands. It was not easy since they had to keep swimming to stay afloat and not sink into the water. After all, the flood water was already almost twenty meters deep. If they sank at that height, there was no saving them.
They also had to observe their location at all times and make sure that if the fish changes its position they change theirs too to avoid being in front of it or behind it. Standing in front of the fish meant that it could use the water to launch unexpected attacks.
Since they could attack with water pillars, the strength and speed at which the water pillar and the pressure that comes with the attack is enough to tear someone to pieces. Therefore, it was better to avoid the front of the fish if one didn’t have any defense mechanisms.
