48: Failed to last hit

Two torpedoes, traveling at over a hundred kilometers per hour, shot towards the Big Black Fish.

The Big Black Fish's eyes gleamed with a cold light, clearly possessing a high level of intelligence. Having suffered from artillery fire before, it did not directly engage the torpedoes.

Its enormous body, at this moment, erupted with incredible explosive power, instantly accelerating away from its original position.

The Big Black Fish did not flee; instead, it charged towards the warship.

Even though the warship was much larger than it, it did not escape but instead attacked.

On the warship, Professor Jin Weiguo and others naturally learned of the Big Black Fish's movements immediately.

"Foolish, ultimately just a beast."

Colonel Liu's gaze remained unchanged, and he did not continue to issue combat orders... In the lake, the two torpedoes suddenly changed direction, rushing towards the Big Black Fish after it had fled.

"It even has tracking capabilities!"

Su Yuan watched this scene, becoming more determined that he absolutely must not expose himself to military firepower in the future.

The torpedoes' speed far exceeded that of the Big Black Fish; even if it fled again, it wouldn't be able to escape for long.

Just as the torpedoes were about to reach the Big Black Fish.

Suddenly, a relatively much smaller figure rushed towards the torpedoes.

"Boom!"

The next moment, an astonishing roar erupted, like thunder descending from the heavens, cleansing the mortal world!

The terrifying roar swept across the surrounding waters, and dreadful turbulence also swept in all directions.

Even Su Yuan, who was far away, felt a surge of water sweep towards him.

"What was that just now...?"

Su Yuan's gaze fixed on the explosion site; he had seen it in that instant.

At such a critical moment, why would any creature approach the Big Black Fish?

This made him think of the Giant Tilapia he had dealt with earlier.

Could it be that this Big Black Fish also possessed similar abilities?

In the distance, the water was chaotic, and the scenery was unclear; after all, he was still quite far from there.

But soon, he saw clearly: the Big Black Fish was safe and sound, and it was escaping from the warship!

This made him frown slightly. Could it be that this warship couldn't even deal with the Big Black Fish?

...On the warship, due to the distance, no one noticed the anomaly.

"It should have been killed, right?"

A professor asked, feeling the slight tremor of the ship's hull.

"Although our torpedoes are only light torpedoes, incapable of causing significant damage to large warships, no creature can survive if hit."

Colonel Liu said indifferently.

"Report, Colonel Liu, the target is still alive! It's moving away! Its speed has reached 30 knots!"

But the next moment, an urgent message came from the sonar compartment.

"How is that possible? Confirm again!"

Colonel Liu's brows furrowed, like two intersecting sharp swords.

"Reporting, Colonel, confirmation is correct. According to sonar analysis, the torpedoes were detonated prematurely; other creatures detonated the torpedoes early."

The Soldier in the sonar compartment said.

Professor Jin Weiguo and the other professors looked over, but none of them said much; combat matters were not for them to manage.

"Detonated prematurely? Was it a coincidence? Or...?"

Professor Jin Weiguo said thoughtfully.

"Fire two more torpedoes!"

Colonel Liu heard Professor Jin Weiguo's murmur and issued a combat order.

Immediately, the warship once again launched two torpedoes, rushing at over a hundred kilometers per hour towards the fleeing Big Black Fish.

Two torpedoes with active sonar guidance shot towards the Big Black Fish from two directions, a breathtaking sight.

In the distance, Su Yuan watched this scene intently, his gaze fixed, his muscles slightly tensed.

At the same time, he also moved closer to that area. Beginner Camouflage allowed his body to blend with the surroundings even while moving.

Even though the Big Black Fish had created a considerable distance, it was quickly caught up by the torpedoes.

At this moment, Su Yuan saw several more large fish appear, opening their gaping mouths and charging towards the torpedoes.

"Die!"

Su Yuan's gaze was cold, his spiritual energy boiling within him, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy, and immediately unleashed a blazing white Laser Beam, shooting it out!

Unlike mines, bombs, missiles, and other objects, the speed of light in water is constant. Although not as fast as in a vacuum, it is not something known creatures or technology can evade.

Therefore, this Laser Beam instantly killed several large fish.

The Giant Black Fish also instantly detected this attack, its gaze immediately falling upon Su Yuan's position.

The next moment, more large fish met the two torpedoes, but at this point, the torpedoes were already closer to the Giant Black Fish.

"Boom!"

A terrifying roar echoed across Dayang Lake, and towering waves surged on the lake's surface, sweeping in all directions.

"Roar!"

A low roar, full of deterrence and anger, also sounded, spreading in all directions.

"Report, laser energy was just detected!"

"Report, underwater cameras observed a Laser Beam! Its target is precisely our target."

"Report, the target is still alive, but according to the underwater camera footage, the target has suffered severe damage!"

In the bridge, several messages came in succession.

Among them, the news of the Laser Beam astonished everyone.

"Laser Beam? There are no other military forces in Dayang Lake besides us."

A military officer frowned.

Colonel Liu also raised an eyebrow slightly, about to have someone contact his superiors to check if any colleagues were in the area.

"It's not the military; it's it! That Giant Octopus."

At this moment, Professor Jin Weiguo said.

"That's right, our purpose in coming here was to study this Giant Octopus, but why would it intervene?"

The professors also reacted.

"This Giant Octopus is indeed extraordinary. It's helping us eliminate the Big Black Fish. Because this Big Black Fish is also a huge threat to it."

A slight smile appeared on Professor Jin Weiguo's face; he was becoming increasingly interested in this Giant Octopus.

"That Giant Octopus? Professors, our active sonar is working. If it's nearby, can it evade sonar detection?"

Colonel Liu asked.

"Indeed, it can. Octopuses' Camouflage Ability is inherently excellent. If it lies motionless on the lakebed, camouflaged as a rock, then under sonar detection, it would just appear as a rock or part of the lakebed structure."

"However, our current goal is still to eliminate the Big Black Fish."

Professor Jin Weiguo reminded him.

Colonel Liu nodded and issued the order: "Three warships, launch torpedoes at full power, active guidance, saturation attack!"

Immediately, all three warships began to move, launching a total of eighteen torpedoes, with wire guidance and sonar guidance, achieving a saturation attack.

This was a terrifying sight; let alone flesh and blood, even large warships here would tremble and desperately try to evade.

Su Yuan stared intently at the path of the torpedoes, and indeed found large fish, like moths to a flame, rushing towards the torpedoes.

"Kill!"

His gaze was cold. His presence had already been discovered by the Big Black Fish, making it a fight to the death.

If he didn't kill the Big Black Fish today, he would undoubtedly face trouble in the future.

A blazing white Laser Beam was fired again, sweeping out, cutting through several large fish, slicing them in half, and sending them sinking to the lakebed.

However, large fish continued to gather around the torpedoes.

"Boom!"

Even with wire guidance, some torpedoes were detonated.

This explosion detonated the surrounding nearby torpedoes as well. The roar was like raging thunder, making Su Yuan dizzy and causing towering waves.

However, he saw that one torpedo had successfully broken through!

Su Yuan accelerated, rushing towards the explosion site, because he discovered that ahead was the entrance to the river from Dayang Lake, and he was worried about unexpected events.

The next moment, he saw the damaged Big Black Fish; it was still alive!

And it was still frantically rushing towards the river entrance!

"Damn it!"

Su Yuan's gaze was cold, and he fired another full-power Laser Beam at the Big Black Fish.

The blazing white Laser Beam instantly struck the Big Black Fish's body. The Big Black Fish, now without scales and part of its flesh, was directly shot through a portion of its body.

"Roar!"

The Big Black Fish turned its head, its cold gaze like that of a prehistoric beast, looked at Su Yuan, and then plunged into the Yangtze River.
