Chapter 262: Armored Giant Jellyfish

The high-speed diesel engine’s hum was getting nearer. Hearing its sound, Chen Fan quickly controlled the electric eel to roar, then directed the navigation to head towards the other party.
Thirty seconds later, the thick fog was gradually pushed aside, and the hovercraft transportation ship that broke through the waves rushed in front of the electric eel. Rubbing both of his hands together, Chen Fan wanted to go over to show his concern. But, the hovercraft transportation ship rushed to the beach, its airflow from its bottom forming a small sandstorm on the beach.
“The God of war has come! Am I even able to encounter the armored giant jellyfish here?” The hovercraft had yet to be turned off, when Barru jumped down from the deck, brandishing the broadsword in his hand.
Before anyone could figure out what Barru was doing, an explosive BOOM, comparable to the sound of a fighter jet breaking through the sound barrier, reached Chen Fan’s ears.
A huge cluster of dazzling fireballs!
Then, the fire disappeared out of his sight in a rush! Before the vibration of Chen Fan’s eardrums had time to silence, a louder and more violent fireball exploded, once again devastating his eardrums.
The exaggerated heat wave cleared the thick fog within a hundred meters! Chen Fan finally understood why Argyll, with his monkey-like flexibility, had jumped out from the pilot interior and blasted out a huge fireball.
“Wow!” Chen Fan said, as he stared at the back of the hovercraft with a ghostly expression.
He saw a white-grey crustacean monster that was surrounded by hard armor, which had an upper body that was covered with sharp horns and a belly with densely packed, clawed limbs. It also had a tail very similar to that of a lobster. Unfortunately, its size was more than 30 meters long, which made it impossible to associate it with any species on the planet!
The damage caused by Argyll’s fireball was unfortunately not much. There was no damage to the armor, and the heat had only seemed to provoke the creature’s anger, as it kept waving its tentacles around crazily.
“HAAAA!”
At this time, Barru burst out a loud roar. He then threw a javelin out from his back pouch with a swoosh.
This was the best interpretation of absolute power. The one-meter-long pure steel javelin thrust into the monster’s abdomen directly, yet only left behind a bowl-sized mark.
“Brother Chen, send your pet to kill this iron giant jellyfish, as it would be bad if it breaks the hovercraft!” Argyll shouted, as he condensed another fireball, firing one after another. The great kinetic energy produced by the fireball explosion hit the abdomen of the iron giant jellyfish.
“Get out of the way, so I can kill this guy!” Chen Fan, who had no time to think, slammed the palm of his hand on the electric eel’s scales. The electric eel suddenly opened his eyes, proudly staring at the iron giant jellyfish. Its magnificent aura shocked Barru, who was a few meters away.
Although its energy current could not be released at such a close distance, the electric eel had more attack methods up its sleeve. When the electric sizzling teeth were wide open, a thick green venom was squeezed from its poison sac.
Chen Fan had originally wanted to force the eel to drive the creature into the water with its venom, and then use a powerful current to kill the creature. But, Argyll unexpectedly threw out a fireball from the deck, which hit squarely on the venom with a swoop.
What kind of chain reaction would the flammable liquid cause in an open flame?
The scene at this time revealed clearly that, when too much flammable liquids are ignited, the large amount of flames released will consume all of the air and cause a vacuum in a very short amount of time. Then, there will be a lot of air coming in from other places, and the incoming air will produce a immense pressure and an increased temperature field, causing the flames to expand, thus increasing their impact!
“Ah, the god of war is here!” The long waves of the air seemed like magma spreading out. After Barru screamed, even the broadsword in his hand flew out, and he rushed to the back of the electric eel.
As for Argyll, his tongue was extended, and his stunned eyeballs almost broke away from the tip of their nerves. One can only see the true will of a person, when they are caught in a bad environment or at a critical moment of life and death!
Argyll, who was experienced in combat, was able to comfortably gather some water vapor to resist the front, even amid the horror. The most unfortunate one was the armored giant jellyfish, as its whole abdomen was being thoroughly roasted due to the high temperature.
Chen Fan did not give it the opportunity to climb up. Instead, he made the electric eel dive into the water with a roar, then directly seize the creature’s abdomen with its steel claws, quickly dragging it into the deep sea.
As the monster was more than 30 meters long, it did not have any room to struggle. After the armored giant jellyfish was dragged offshore, three or five kilometers away, the electric eel flashed its body, spewing out 100,000 volts from its body.
With a slam, the armored giant jellyfish fell into a dyeing bucket. Its originally white-gray armor turned red. The terrible electric arc was still whipping, and even drew ripples in the water.
“Where did you find this strange thing?” after dealing with the monster, Chen Fan jumped on the hovercraft and asked Argyll.
Argyll looked at the hovercraft for a long time, finally determining that it was not damaged. He then said, “When we sailed to the beach, we saw that the sea in front of it was tumbling like boiling hot water. Barru asked me what it was. The fog was too thick. I only thought that a whale was spraying water. I didn’t expect that, when the hovercraft got closer, it would actually be an adult armored giant jellyfish that was eating.We think that the hovercraft was too loud and provoked it, causing it to chase us crazily. I have to sail, so I was not able to deal with it. Even Barru couldn’t jump into the water and fight it.”
“Gosh…”
Chen Fan was at a loss for words. He could only helplessly swing his hand and express deep sympathy for these two unlucky guys.
“Brother Chen, are the crossbows inside the boxes?” Argyll shouted, while pointing to them.
“Yes!” Chen Fan pulled out a dagger from his lower back and cut the hemp rope of one of the boxes in the warehouse. The rough wooden box was neatly covered with pieces of dazzling gold bricks. There were a lot of them.
“Brother Chen, don’t you want to count them?” Argyll approached him with a smiling face.
“It’s okay, I trust you!” Chen Fan waved his hand. “Go, everything is brand new and can be used after assembly!”
