269: Chapter 269 Sacred Remains

“Big Sister Head, these Skeleton Soldier seem different from last time.”

“Yeah, last time we killed so many of them, and they didn't mutate, but this time they mutated after dying once.”

“What do you mean? The next wave is coming.”

“...”

The Players were discussing it amongst themselves.

Especially when they saw that the speed of the Skeleton Soldier had more than doubled, they were even more shocked.

These Skeleton Soldier rushed toward the shallows at lightning speed. They were actually still alive after a round of volley fire from the Archer.

Covered in arrows, they still continued to charge forward, fearless of death.

It wasn't until the second volley of arrows arrived that they finally fell on the shallows.

Luo Li, seeing this, gritted her teeth.

Looking at the dense pack of wolves again, she was just about to give an order when Chen Fan's voice rang out:

“Don't fire the cannons. Use the Gatling and machine guns to pick off the wolves one by one.”

“Crew Member on the shallows, continue with the previous strategy.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the Players lit up.

Under the previous tension, they hadn't observed carefully.

After Chen Fan's reminder, they noticed that the size of these giant wolves was far greater than that of the Skeleton Soldier.

In other words, as long as they aimed carefully, they could still clear out the wolf pack while minimizing the number of Skeleton Soldier killed.

Luo Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she nodded, “Execute!”

“Yes! Boss! Big Sister Head!”

The Players roared and began to open fire.

The rapid-fire stream of bullets, like a long, fiery red whip, continuously wiped out the wolf pack.

Occasionally, some Skeleton Soldier would still be shot, but it was much fewer compared to using naval cannons.

Seeing the war get on the right track, Chen Fan nodded and scanned the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, he frowned.

His gaze rested on the piles of red bones at the edge of the shallows.

“These bones... they didn't dissipate?”

With a flash in his eyes, Chen Fan's figure disappeared from where he stood.

“Crew Member on the shallows, hold your fire for now.”

As he spoke, Chen Fan's figure appeared on the shallows. He waved his hand and collected all the red bones.

[Scarlet Withered Bone x173.]

Withered bones?

No! It's supplies!

Instantly, Chen Fan let out a low roar: “Everyone, aim at the Skeleton Soldier in the sea, fire!”

“Huh?”

“Boss, those Skeleton Soldier will turn red and go berserk!”

“Damn it, is the Boss's command something you can question? Sha Fu, fire the cannons for me!”

“Brothers, fire!”

Boom, boom, boom—

Once Chen Fan spoke, the Players, acting like they had gone mad, began shelling the sea area in front of the portal.

In an instant, all the Skeleton Soldier were blasted to smithereens.

Although Luo Li didn't understand what Chen Fan wanted to do, she didn't say much and began to command:

“Groups 1 to 200, fire!”

Boom, boom, boom—

The war returned to a war of attrition between the Players and the undead Skeleton Soldier.

Every time the Skeleton Soldier stood up, they would be blasted to smithereens by the next wave of shells.

They resurrected time and time again, only to be shattered again and again.

The Skeleton Soldier gradually changed from white at the beginning to light red, and then to deep red.

By the time the Skeleton Soldier were completely scarlet, glowing slightly red, a single volley was no longer enough to kill them.

Seeing this, the Players swallowed hard. They cast their gaze toward the aircraft carrier in the rear.

Seeing that Chen Fan still had his arms crossed and said nothing, they gritted their teeth hard and continued to bombard them.

They didn't know how many waves had passed, but by the time the wolf packs stopped emerging from the portal, the Skeleton Soldier had turned bright red.

At this point, it already required three volleys to kill the Skeleton Soldier.

Luo Li glanced at Chen Fan, her expression questioning.

Chen Fan nodded slightly, signaling to continue.

Only then did Luo Li heave a sigh of relief and continue commanding the concentrated fire.

In the end, Luo Li no longer divided them into rounds, but had everyone concentrate fire to instantly kill the Skeleton Soldier.

By now, the Skeleton Soldier had turned gold, their bodies emitting a golden light.

“Fire!”

Luo Li's voice was a bit hoarse, but exceptionally firm.

However, this time, the Players' volley did not kill the golden Skeleton Soldier.

After taking a round of concentrated fire, the golden Skeleton Soldier still rushed toward the shallows at high speed.

The Players were stunned for a moment, and just as they were about to continue concentrating fire, Chen Fan spoke:

“Cease fire. Let them come ashore.”

Immediately, he waved his hand.

One hundred thousand E-Rank Sailor instantly appeared on the coastline, filling the entire shore.

After landing, the golden Skeleton Soldier were like dragons entering the sea, diving headlong into the formation of Sailor, hacking them into chaos.

Chen Fan frowned slightly and summoned another 200,000 Sailor to block the shallows.

He was waiting for all the golden Skeleton Soldier to land.

From his previous observations, Chen Fan had discovered that these Skeleton Soldier had almost reached a level of physical immunity.

The Players' ordinary cannonballs, when striking them, could cause almost no damage.

Therefore, these golden Skeleton Soldier must have reached the highest level.

At the edge of the shallows.

Three hundred thousand Sailor were being hacked back by the Skeleton Soldier.

But every time a batch of Sailor died, Chen Fan would replenish them with another batch.

Corpses gradually piled up, and the shallows and parts of the shallow sea were dyed crimson with blood.

The bloody scene made the Players feel nauseated.

But they did not make a sound, instead enduring the discomfort and observing the shallows.

They wanted to see what their Boss was actually planning to do.

They waited for nearly twenty minutes.

The number of Sailor summoned by Chen Fan had reached as high as 400,000.

Only then was the retreat of the Sailor formation barely halted, pinning all the golden Skeleton Soldier at the edge of the shallows.

The last golden Skeleton Soldier successfully landed.

Chen Fan glanced at the daedalus lament in his inventory, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

“World-Ending Destruction!”

A low shout rang out.

Suddenly, the entire shallows were illuminated as if it were daytime by red firelight.

The Players were stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up at the sky.

A scene they would never forget appeared before their eyes.

In the sky, hundreds of thousands of dense red circles appeared.

Seething firelight surged continuously within the red circles.

A few seconds later.

The red circles suddenly broke open, and dense, fiery red beams of light crashed down to the ground.

The whole world seemed to freeze as if it were pixelating.

The intense red light stung all the Players, forcing them to close their eyes.

Boom—

The earth-shattering roar turned the entire shallows into a fiery purgatory.

The golden Skeleton Soldier, which even cannonballs couldn't shatter, were as fragile as paper, instantly torn to pieces.

Dense golden bones shattered and fell all over the ground.

“I... holy crap!”

“Damn, is this the Boss's skill? It's too terrifying.”

“I remember now, this is the skill I saw in the live stream last time.”

“Why does the power seem even greater?”

“Terrifying, it's simply terrifying!”

“...”

The Players came back to their senses, their eyes widening, and they couldn't stop exclaiming in amazement.

Even Luo Li covered her small mouth, her chest heaving up and down.

“Jiu Jiu, go collect the bones.”

Chen Fan patted Jiu Jiu on the shoulder and smiled.

Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up, she nodded repeatedly, and ran over in a flash.

[Obtained: Sacred Bones x30,000,000.]

“Woohoo, nice!”

Chen Fan snapped his fingers.

Although he didn't know the use of these bones, just by their hardness, he knew they definitely weren't ordinary items.
