366: Chapter 366 The Qin Frogmen Launch an Attack

The Yu brothers, Zhao Lang, and the Sun Brothers led the water ghosts of the Water Ghost Camp as they continuously approached the Great Qin warships.

They held hollow reed stalks tightly in their mouths; these thin reeds served as their underwater breathing tubes. Through them, they could silently exchange air beneath the surface without exposing their movements.

Their hands gripped hammers and chisels, ready to bore through the hulls once they swam beneath the Great Qin warships.

The Yu brothers, Zhao Lang, and the Sun Brothers didn't pay much mind to Song Jiang, who lagged behind them. They were competing with each other, each wanting to be the first to sneak under a Great Qin warship.

However, what they didn't know was that the Great Qin Frogmen were lurking in deeper waters, like hunters hidden in a dark abyss, waiting for their prey to arrive.

Specially made rubber diving suits clung tightly to their bodies, not only effectively resisting the underwater cold but also providing excellent flexibility, allowing them to move freely in the water.

oxygen tanks on their backs provided a continuous supply of air. The frogmen inhaled from time to time, making slight, rhythmic hissing sounds as bubbles occasionally escaped their mouths and grew larger as they rose toward the surface.

Hiding in the deep-water zone, they revealed pairs of sharp eyes filled with coldness and focus, gleaming like the eyes of wolves.

Their hands tightly gripped underwater crossbows, their arrowheads glinting with a cold metallic luster beneath the water, as if ready to drink blood at any moment.

Since it was difficult to speak underwater, the frogman commander used a direct strike to signal the order to attack.

The frogmen beside him launched their attacks one after another without the slightest hesitation.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Sharp crossbow bolts sped through the water, trailing mass amounts of bubbles as they shot straight toward the unsuspecting Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts.

Before the water ghosts could react, their bodies were struck by the bolts.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Their bodies suddenly stiffened, and the intense pain forced their mouths wide open in an attempt to scream.

But because they were underwater, the reed stalks fell from their mouths, and massive amounts of bubbles poured out as they gulped down mouthfuls of water.

Blood gushed from where they had been hit.

The other Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts were terrified and tried to dodge the sudden assault. However, with the Great Qin Frogmen beneath them, they instinctively swam toward the surface, leaving them with no way to evade the attack.

They could only watch helplessly as their companions fell one by one, blood gurgling from wounds and spreading rapidly through the water, staining the surrounding area a deep crimson.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the water, jarring everyone's nerves.

The wounded Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts struggled in agony, letting out muffled cries.

Like grim reapers, the Great Qin Frogmen ruthlessly harvested the lives of the water ghosts. Blood dyed vast stretches of the surface red, as if draping the waters in a horrifying crimson veil.

The Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts fell into chaos.

"They're underwater!"

The Yu brothers, Zhao Lang, and the Sun Brothers immediately realized that the attack was coming from the deep waters below them.

The Yu brothers, Zhao Lang, and the Sun Brothers were the most skilled swimmers; they dove down, overcoming buoyancy to head toward the deep-water zone.

"Run!"

As for the other Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts, they began to retreat the way they had come.

"Brothers, kill them for me!"

Song Jiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. This was his chance to offer a token of loyalty to Great Qin; how could he possibly miss it?

Minor leaders like Liu San had long since joined Song Jiang's cause, so they all ordered their subordinates to kill the fleeing Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts.

As for the water ghosts under them, they had little say in the matter; upon hearing their superiors' orders to attack, they could only follow suit.

"Ah!"

The fleeing Yunmeng Marsh water ghosts never expected Song Jiang and the others to turn on them, and they were caught completely off guard.

This stretch of water was completely stained red with blood.

Ordinary people couldn't open their eyes underwater at all.

But the Yu brothers, Zhao Lang, and the Sun Brothers were no ordinary men; they had their ways of opening their eyes in the water.

They tucked their hammers and chisels into their waistbands and drew the weapons they carried.

Although visibility was low and it was very dark in the deep-water zone, they could roughly guess where these people were lurking by watching the bubbles constantly rising from the bottom.

They charged toward the area where the Great Qin Frogmen were lying in wait.
