Chapter 906: Attacks

Elsewhere, a large cave opened up to an L shaped lagoon. Ocean waves broke upon the large rocky outcropping before spilling into the lagoon. At the far end of the lagoon a massive cave system expanded over the sea water. The rocks had formed into huge archways allowing the sea water to pass underneath them. Somehow the plateau of this large island was like a stone version of a stilt house. The passageways beneath it were large and numerous, but they were also something of a labyrinth. Many of the different pathways were also unreachable or hidden depending on whether or not it was high or low tide. Some required a shallow bottomed craft at high tide to slip through, but were high up on the wall during the low tide. Others were only barely passable at low tide, requiring those in a boat to duck low in order to slip through the short tunnel.

This location formed a perfect sort of smugglers cove and given the immense size of the island was filled with dozens of hidden bases and secret treasure caches. One of these hidden bases belonged to a branch of the Yi Yang Group. At the highest part of the cavern a tunnel went straight upwards and then arched downwards like a ramp. The Yi Yang Group had a sort of gantry system set up to collect goods and personnel from the boats below and then took them down a ramp to a cavern placed deep below the sea level. This base was highly secure given its unusual access method and the presence of so many powerful beasts in the nearby sea. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

At this time, the highly secure nature of this base also meant the inhabitants had no way to escape. They had two secret escape tunnels, one of them spilling them out into the sea, while the other ran up to the surface to reach the island. On the surface a massive formation had been laid out to cover a ten mile radius, showing the enemy knew they had an escape hatch, but didnt know the location. As soon as they tried to use it, the location would be given away. Yet, the other escape route was even worse as dozens of tier five sea beasts were circling around the area. With their strength hampered by being underwater they stood no chance against these beasts because the exit hatch was small and only a few of them could leave at a time. They would just get picked off one by one and wouldnt be able to combine their power to make an escape attempt.

Things were not looking good at their front entrance as the gantry area had already been taken and the ramp was on the verge of being lost.

Rather than using the hole on her palm to release a jet of water, the cold woman formed a few symbols with her fingers, shifting through a few handseals and releasing her water-natured Qi into a large cloud above her head. This blue mist coalesced upon the ceiling of the tunnel and crept down the tunnel. It changed the rocky ceiling into a clouded sky, almost giving the illusion they were outdoors. Yet, these clouds seemed to do nothing, only spreading further and further, completely flooding the whole of the quarter mile tunnel and out over the first few buildings.

While she was creating more and more of these clouds, the guards opposite her had started to hurl javelins and fire arrows towards her. These projectiles were sheathed in glowing energy auras of varying types. These enslaved soldiers were of many different innate Qi natures so their attacks were not uniform, fire, ice, electricity, and other things sheathed the tips of them as they flew forward enhancing their power. Unfortunately, for them, a thick wave of water rose up out of the hole behind the woman. A huge column of water rose up from the sea below and twisted through the air, splashing down in front of her and forming into a thick wall. Somehow this water hardened and it caught all the incoming projectiles without any seeming effort at all.

Before they could alter their response the clouds above them finally changed. Heavy raindrops fell smacking against the soldiers that were rapidly marching into the tunnel. It didnt seem to make sense, but somehow each of these little drops carried so much impact with them that they shattered the poison protection barriers of the guards. Worse yet, they also carried those vicious poisons and in just a dozen seconds the whole tunnel was completely cleared. The cold faced woman took a step forward and landed her foot upon the somewhat solid water wall. The wall rushed down the tunnel like a wave carrying her down the path like a conquering hero.

At the end of the tunnel was a larger cavern, big enough to fit the three story buildings the Yi Yang Group had constructed along with a bit of extra height to make those living down here feel like they werent so claustrophobic. The rain clouds only spread into the wide open space outside the tunnel where the guards had redoubled their efforts trying to reinforce the last major choke point before allowing the invader to enter the main portion of the base. Its just too bad for them that all these preparations served only to make it easier for the woman to defeat them all in one fell swoop.
