Chapter 558 Battle
Almost instinctively, Dick strode forward, crossed his arms, and stood in front of Peggy.
Fire Dragon Scales!
In a split second, Dick used his martial arts technique to unleash his ultimate move.
He felt sharp, barbed scales growing on his arms.
With a clang, the fierce attack was blocked.
But the force was too heavy, and it pushed Dick backward.
"what!"
As a scream reached his ears, Dick felt something soft behind him.
Dick immediately rolled over and realized that he had just pinned Peggy behind him.
He immediately helped Peggy up, and with a heavy leap, moved to the side.
He anxiously asked, "Peggy, are you alright?"
"You should lose weight," Peggy complained.
Hearing this, Dick breathed a sigh of relief.
Dick then began to observe the surrounding situation.
The enemy is mainly concentrated at the three o'clock and twelve o'clock positions, so immediately grab Peggy's hand and lead her towards the seven o'clock position.
It wasn't until they had created some distance that Dick considered how to counterattack.
Dick said, "Stay put here!"
"good!"
Peggy nodded repeatedly; this time she was more obedient than expected.
However, to Dick's surprise, Peggy showed no sign of panic.
The three warriors who had followed Dick also drew their weapons to face the strange creatures that had suddenly appeared.
Dick immediately ordered them to retreat.
These people returned to Dick's side immediately.
Dick gave them only one order: "Protect the young lady."
The three nodded and shielded Peggy behind them.
Then, Dick removed his weights, put down his weapons, and slowly walked toward the strange creatures.
Although it was just a single exchange, Dick could sense that these creatures were not to be underestimated.
Even if these three soldiers worked together, they would probably have a hard time defeating any one of them.
In that case, it would be better to have them retreat and ensure Peggy's safety, so that Dick would have no worries about the rear.
Dick observed carefully and noticed that the group of humanoid creatures that had been walking ahead with their backs to them had now turned around and were slowly approaching.
This indicates that the existence of Dick and his companions has been made known to all the anomalous creatures.
These creatures were all unusually tall; even the smallest one was three heads taller than Dick.
These creatures are more like fish than humans.
They have smooth skin and orange pupils like lanterns.
The mouth protrudes forward, and the boundary between the chin and neck is difficult to distinguish.
More importantly, they appear to have striped pores resembling fish gills below their ears.
There was a creature that raised its right hand, and Dick could even see the webbed structure at its fingertips.
At that moment, Dick suddenly had a judgment in his mind.
These creatures may not belong to this island, or even to any land.
But what was their purpose in landing on the island?
Dick discovered that wherever they stepped, the ground would become wet.
Only then did Dick realize that the watermarks were left by these creatures.
"What should I do now—" Dick pondered—" Should I fight? Or should I retreat immediately with Peggy?"
Or perhaps, we should try to communicate?
At least, they have bodies similar to humans and can stand and walk.
From this perspective, it seems there is a possibility of communicating with them.
Dick thought for a moment, then shouted, "Who are you!"
The creatures did not react; they simply moved slowly toward Dick.
Is there no possibility of communication? — Dick wondered to himself.
But what if it was just these things that didn't hear him—Dick decided to try again, raising his voice at least one more time: "Who are you!"
This time, however, the creature at the forefront stopped, and after a moment, it replied in a murky, linguistic language: "We are the will of the deep sea."
Upon hearing this answer, Dick keenly noticed the word "we".
Dick suddenly realized something: perhaps his first shout wasn't because it wasn't loud enough for these creatures to hear.
Rather, it's because of the title.
So Dick tried asking, "Do you exist as individuals?"
"We are all individuals, but we share only one thought," the other person replied.
"I see," Dick suddenly understood.
In other words, do these beings share a single consciousness?
The Will of the Deep Sea—does that mean they come from a deep-sea race in the depths of the ocean?
Dick continued, "Why did you want to go ashore?"
"We've simply returned," the Deepsea Clan replied. "The resurgence is unstoppable."
Dick wanted to ask more questions, but unfortunately, the deep-sea creatures were already close enough.
The other person raised their arm and then suddenly pounced.
Dick quickly dodged and jumped to the side.
Upon landing, I suddenly realized that the sensation under my feet was a bit off.
Looking down, he noticed that the ground beneath his feet had become soft and wet, and Dick was sinking rapidly.
Zelong's Leg!
Dick immediately activated his ultimate technique, strengthening his lower limbs.
Even though his feet were completely embedded in the ground, he was still able to walk freely thanks to the power of the profound technique.
He immediately realized that he had to try to leave the affected land.
He also understood that although these so-called deep-sea creatures could communicate, the hostile relationship between them seemed irreversible.
What exactly are the deep-sea creatures and the consciousness they speak of?
What kind of revival did they seek when they landed on the island?
There's no time to think too much right now.
Unable to change the passive situation by simply defending, Dick decided to take the initiative.
He first activated the "Green Dragon Brain" to enhance his mental abilities so that he could use his power better and more rationally.
At the same time, Dick used "Dragon's Foot" to increase his speed.
In just a moment, Dick approached a member of the deep-sea race.
He quickly activated his "Earth Dragon Arm" and punched the tall, alien-like creature.
With just one punch, Dick's fist pierced through the opponent's body.
When he saw the red blood spurting out, Dick thought to himself—at least their blood was the same color as humans.
Furthermore, they can understand human language and communicate with Dick.
Perhaps they are indeed intelligent life forms, just different species.
Just then, Dick suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side.
"Well--
'
Dick let out a soft groan and staggered a few steps to the side.
Looking down, he discovered that his waist had been pierced.
Before he could adjust to the pain of his wound, Dick noticed several water bullets shooting rapidly toward him.
Raptor foot!
Dick quickly dodged, barely managing to avoid it.
But what returned was all the deep-sea creatures, who launched a long-range attack on him together.
Dick's heart tightened, and he immediately covered his entire body with "Fire Dragon Scales"—
A sound like hammering metal.
All the water bullets hit Dick, but he blocked them all head-on; those attacks were not strong enough to penetrate the dragon scales.
But at that moment, he felt an intense burning sensation.
It turned out that a green water bullet had hit Dick.
It was thick and cloudy, emitting a pungent, sour odor.
What's terrifying is that it seems capable of completely corroding even dragon scales —
