521: Chapter 521 Cutting Net

Observing those dozens of Sea Race powerhouses carefully, judging by the information from the Heavenly Eye, besides Jiuying who was at the Early Stage Golden Core, there were also three in the Martial God Realm, ten in the Martial Saint Realm, and the rest were all in the Martial King Realm!!!

Although Long Yuan was not afraid of them now, he was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected the Sea Race to possess such formidable strength just in the sea area on this side of the ocean. No wonder the three countries on the other side of the ocean—Snow Eagle Country, Flying Lion Country, and War Bear Country—were suppressed by them until they couldn't even lift their heads. From the information obtained from Justin, Snow Eagle Country was currently doing its best to resist but was still retreating step by step. Many large cities had already fallen, a vast amount of technological civilization products had been destroyed, and other important things had been moved to remote areas for a final struggle. It could be said that those three countries were now on the verge of losing everything!

Justin's group was very panicked right now. They were worried that Da Ming wouldn't be able to hold on either. If Da Ming fell, then their fate would likely take a sharp turn for the worse, falling into Hell just like those people from Snow Eagle Country!

Facts had proven that the high-tech developments those three countries had desperately worked on—Mecha Squads, Genetic Warriors, and Consciousness Uploading—had completely failed under the impact of the Sea Race's powerful cultivation strength and vast numbers of cannon fodder. Their last hope was only the Golden Core Experts sent by the Tianji Pavilion.

But could a single Ji Feier really defeat so many powerful Sea Race members?

Long Yuan was currently skeptical about this because Jiuying, an Early Stage Golden Core Expert, had appeared among the Sea Race before him. One shouldn't look down on him just because he was in the Early Stage; with his Legacy as a Heaven and Earth Strange Beast, he was fully capable of crushing Ji Feier, who was in the Middle Stage of the Golden Core. Long Yuan was absolutely certain of this!

Furthermore, the Sea Race forces attacking those three countries were also led by Golden Core Stage experts. Even if these people were slightly weaker than Ji Feier, if they united, they would be enough to contend with her, or even suppress her in turn!

"It seems there must be good things beneath this ocean! Otherwise, it would be impossible for several Golden Core Experts to appear within the Sea Race in just a few hundred years! Therefore, it's still very necessary to let Qian Xiaosen and the others go to the seabed to investigate their background. If there really are good things, they must be used by me!" Long Yuan chuckled inwardly.

Last time, he had Qian Xiaosen's two Qilin Battle Teams chase them directly into the sea. On one hand, it was to let them test the actual performance of the qilin war chariots in the ocean, and on the other hand, it was to find out where the Sea Race's base was and whether they possessed any Heaven-Defying resources. If they did, he would definitely go and collect them... The development of the Sinkhole Base was currently limited by some resources. Many good things required precious Materials to be forged, and these things couldn't be bought even with money; they could only be found by oneself. Now, Long Yuan had turned his gaze toward this vast ocean. A simple logic was: as long as I am strong, all resources are mine!

Only by obtaining resources is it possible to forge even more powerful weapons and have the confidence to confront even greater enemies. This is actually an operation fought for the independence of Blue Star. Otherwise, if he didn't take them in advance, they would eventually be discovered and taken by the Tianji Pavilion anyway. Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?

While observing, Long Yuan used the information transmitted by the Heavenly Eye to command the war preparations in various places. He wasn't in a hurry because it would take at least a day and a night for all the Sea Race members to submerge into the Nanyue River. Jiuying and the others could afford to wait that long, and he could afford to wait even more. However, he still needed some new arrangements... To prevent some Sea Race members who entered the inland from going ashore early to plunder and destroy, he had ordered the two Qilin Battle Teams that had arrived here long ago to gradually clear out all the Human Race along the Nanyue River and its major tributaries. At the same time, he had set up Nano-cutting Nets in the areas near the riverbanks!

This cutting net was composed of cutting filaments. Every single line was extremely fine, crafted entirely from nano-grade Materials. It was impossible for the naked eyes or Divine Sense of a Xuan Practitioner or a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to see them. Even a Golden Core Expert would find it difficult to discover them unless their Divine Sense was particularly powerful.

These cutting filaments could be said to be the latest technological achievement reached by Future City. Their lethality was terrifying. No matter what it was, even a High Grade Profound Weapon, it would be silently sliced open as long as it passed through them. Life forms below Foundation Establishment couldn't even feel themselves being cut by it until their bodies separated at the cut, only then realizing they had been killed by something!

This was also why Long Yuan wanted to clear out the commoners along the banks; he feared the cutting nets would accidentally kill people of Da Ming. At the same time, he also issued a mandatory order that everyone must stay away from the Nanyue River and its major tributaries. This was because after all the Sea Race had entered the Nanyue River, the battle teams would also set up cutting nets in the river. At that time, when the upstream reservoirs were opened, a large number of Sea Race members washed down by the water would pass through these cutting nets. Long Yuan would have a Clone here specifically responsible for recovering the Sea Race corpses... "Young Lord, all the cutting nets along our northern banks have been installed!" a voice came. It was Ximen Han, one of the leaders of the two battle teams.

"Good! Next, move to the vicinity of the northern downstream estuary to hide, and then set up the cutting nets at the bottom of the river after all the Sea Race have entered!" Long Yuan said.

"Yes, Young Lord!" Ximen Han replied and led the battle team to begin moving.

Not long after, the leader of the southern detachment, Yuwen Yan, also sent news that the cutting net installation was complete. Long Yuan similarly had him move to the vicinity of the southern downstream estuary to hide and wait for the opportunity to set up the riverbed cutting nets... These cutting nets were for dealing with the Sea Race taking the river route, but for the Sea Fowl from the sky, Long Yuan used drone groups. Currently, these two drone battle teams were hidden within the Heavenly Dao Space, ready to come out and strike the Sea Fowl at any time... The good news was that Jiuying seemed to want to wait until the Sea Race on the river route began their full-scale operation before letting the Sea Fowl enter the land to cooperate. So, until now, Long Yuan had not seen the arrival of the Sea Fowl.

In fact, the overall strength of the Sea Fowl was definitely not weaker than the Sea Race entering the land; they were even a bit stronger because they possessed an aerial advantage, which was extremely beneficial in battle.

Moreover, because the sky was too vast and the targets were scattered, it was impossible to set up cutting nets in advance. Therefore, he could only use drones to deal with them. After all, the cutting nets were extremely precious. Forging the existing cutting nets had already exhausted all the rare Materials, and it was impossible to forge new ones unless new rare Ores could be found and refined from the seabed.

"Right, there's one more loophole to plug!" Long Yuan suddenly thought of something, and that was the actions of the Sea Loach Clan. Since they appeared, they had burrowed underground and had already opened up dozens of miles of underground tunnels, and they were still continuously advancing. If he didn't restrict them, he feared they would become fish that slipped through the net...
