The medium-sized star boat that Hu Zhenren was sitting on was "shot down", causing the entire ship formation to suddenly open a gap, and also causing the incoming beast tide to seize a breakthrough at once.
However, the five sixth-order strange birds and strange beast kings that attacked did not wait for an opportunity to rush in, but firmly occupied this breakthrough, and then launched long-range attacks towards the two medium-sized star ships in front and behind respectively, preventing this breakthrough from being re-blocked by the ship formation.
At the same time, nearly a hundred fifth-order strange birds and beasts that were good at flying and escaping immediately after the meteorite rain had already rushed in from this breakthrough, and then launched a wild bombardment towards several surrounding star ships.
It's just that these nearly a hundred rank fifth-order strange birds and beasts alone are not enough to pose a threat to other star ships, but the real purpose of the incoming beast tide is not more than that, but to use it to interfere with the movement and position of the star ship fleet, and further disrupt the rhythm of the fleet's formation.
I have to say that the high-level strange beasts that attacked the beast tide this time had extremely strong wisdom.
And the attack of these fifth-order strange birds and beasts like the vanguard death squad seemed to have really achieved their goal, and it seemed that the ship formation was still rolling through the movement of the star boat, thus blocking the gap that had leaked out because the star boat was shot down, and the star boat fleet had to pause and maintain the status quo at this time.
Seeing this, the five strange birds and strange beast kings who were still hovering on the edge of the gap where Hu Zhenren's star boat was shot down no longer worried about what traps there were in the ship formation, and mixed in with the main force of the beast tide and went straight towards the three arks protected in the center of the fleet.
And in this beast tide, there were at least ten or more sixth-order strange bird kings and strange beast kings, among which there were at least three or four with combat power comparable to high-grade.
Through the early encounters and investigations, the leader of this beast tide knew very well that the ark was the true value of this starship fleet.
And just when the beast tide poured into the ship formation from the front of the side, the beast group that was originally hanging at the rear of the fleet also attacked the "Yingxue" behind the hall almost at the same time, which was bound to make the Star Boat fleet unable to look at each other.
Although this group of beasts was far from being comparable to the main force of the beast tide in terms of quantity and quality, they were only enough to contain the "Yingxue" and one or two medium-sized star boats around it.
But in this situation, it seemed that the starship guard curtain had already collapsed, and the entire ship formation was about to fall into a situation of fighting on its own.
If you don't look at the overall situation from a distance, you might even think that each star ship couldn't hold on under the impact of the beast tide and was knocked around.
But such an inconspicuous displacement, coupled with the two large starships at each end retracting inward, suddenly caused all the remaining sixteen large and medium-sized starships to complete the formation contraction, and at the same time completed the original transformation of the ship formation from outward to inward.
Chu Jia, who presided over the entire ship formation and attacked the formation, her control of the formation, her control of the rhythm, and her grasp of the timing, all showed her wonderful heat.
The beast tide that had originally rushed into the ship formation had now become a trap and fell into the encirclement of the ship formation.
But with these sixteen large and medium-sized star ships alone, can they trap and kill as many as a thousand strange birds and beasts above the fourth order?
With the sound of chains "clattering", fifteen anchor chains with anchors tied to the ends flew into the formation, and where they passed, strange beasts were pierced by the anchors, and strange birds were cut and cut off by the swept anchor chains.
Only the anchor chain of the Lingcang, which was originally located in the center of the formation, extended towards the void below.
At the same time, an anchor chain was also ejected from the depths of the void below, and the two anchor chains were instantly entangled, and the two anchors also collided heavily with each other in the circle.
When——
The crisp sound of gold and iron shook the void, and the medium-sized star boat that Hu Zhenren, who was originally sitting on pretending to be shot down after being severely damaged, finally stopped the trend of continuing to lose control because of the timely rescue of the Lingcang, and soon began to return to the ship formation in the direction of the Lingcang's anchor chain.
Although the hull of the medium-sized starship where Hu Zhenren was located was severely damaged, at least until it was completely scrapped, it could still make the combined attack formation a little more powerful!
Of course, the more important point is that Hu Zhenren's star boat and the dozens of warriors in the star boat, although they were used to lure the enemy deeper, were not casualties that they gave up in vain.
But at this moment, the void not far away suddenly broke off, and a cold light cut through the void and instantly went straight to the connection of the two anchor chains.
Although the main force of this beast tide had already rushed into the ship formation, it did not mean that there were no high-level strange birds and strange beasts wandering outside the ship formation.
Even the one who made the move in front of him was probably a sixth-order strange bird king and a strange beast king, which might not be comparable!
This slash that cut through the void and the sky alone has a power comparable to that of the Seventh Heaven!
This is the emperor of the beast tide!
It is even possible that he is the leader of this beast tide!
But no matter which one, or both, the anchor chain entangled between the Lingcang and Hu Zhenren's medium-sized star boat could not withstand this slash at all!
However, immediately followed by another explosion that shook the void, and the slash that cut the gold and jade and cut the void had already been blocked before it landed on the anchor chain.
In the turbulent void, two figures appeared in the void one after another.
A figure appeared in the void holding a stone stick, and behind it was the place where two anchor chains were twisted.
The other figure appeared in the void opposite it, and the two sides confronted each other hundreds of miles away.
However, in the competition between the two sides, the Giant Ape King was obviously at a disadvantage.
This time, the leader of the strange beast who led the beast tide to attack the starship fleet was really a seventh-order emperor!
Although it has not yet been completely integrated with itself, at least one foot has already crossed the threshold of the seventh heaven.
"Alien lackeys!"
The commander of the Beast Tide Emperor from the Star Outer Realm shouted deeply, and actually slashed through the air again with a long-handled giant axe in his hand.
The Giant Ape King also roared, holding a stone stick and sweeping, but he did not dare to seriously wrestle with the seventh-order emperor opposite, but used the technique of releasing force to deflect the direction of the giant axe.
There was another deafening sound of metal and iron ringing, which directly shrank the anchor chain behind him rapidly, pulling the medium-sized star boat back to the ship formation.
After that, the two of them let go of their bodies, and the two giant beasts let go of their hands and feet in the void, each wielding the weapons in their hands, and the sound of the explosion could even echo in the void, not only creating heavy sound waves, but even creating circles of void ripples.
Although every blow of the Giant Ape King from both sides fell into disadvantage, it was able to rely on the strength of the ship formation to always firmly hold the anchor chain dragging the medium-sized star ship until the entire star ship re-entered the ship formation, seventeen star ships converged, and the power of the ship formation increased by another two points.
The seventh-order emperor who was originally hovering on the periphery of the ship formation once again launched an attack on the ship formation, trying to cooperate with the beast tide that fell into the ship formation, breaking the blockade of the ship formation in one fell swoop.
However, the Giant Ape King once again stopped in front of it, and after another medium-sized star ship re-entered the lineup, the Lingcang had already freed up, and now the strength of the ship formation it relied on was a little more, although it was still not the opponent of the seventh-order emperor, but the Giant Ape King was also able to resist more easily.
Although due to the expansion of the ship formation's combined attack formation, the Giant Ape King could not block the seventh-order emperor's shaking of the ship formation every time, but the redundancy of the ship formation itself was also increasing,
Although judging from the scene at this time, the momentum of the beast tide was still so loud, and the surging qi of the seventh-order emperor could even make the void around him seem to be boiling.
However, in reality, the control of the situation was directing to the seventeen large and medium-sized starships in the void that seemed to be fighting separately, but in fact maintained the formation of the ship formation and attacking the formation.
However, with a large number of strange birds and beasts being killed in the beast tide, the seventeen large and medium-sized star ships themselves were not intact.
Except for the medium-sized starship that Hu Zhenren personally sat on was seriously damaged and was almost on the verge of scrapping, even the large starship "Yingxue", which was originally used as the queen of the palace, suffered considerable losses at this time because it was under too much pressure inside and outside.
In addition to varying degrees of damage to the starboard sides that isolate the inside and outside, the sails hanging on the three masts are already riddled with holes.
If Shang Xia orders the entire fleet to break through at this time, then the speed of the "Yingxue" may be 30% slower than when it was intact, and it can directly declare that the breakthrough has failed.
Fortunately, at this time, the "Yingxue" is only a part of the formation of the ship, with the help of the overall strength of the formation, when the situation is still under control, even if the position of the starship needs to be adjusted, there will not be too much requirement for speed.
But even so, the warriors on the "Yingxue" still continued to suffer casualties, even if they were protected by the protective curtain and hull, they were not spared.
In addition to the "Yingxue", there were also two medium-sized starships damaged, which were not even less severe than Hu Zhenren's medium-sized starship.
One of them was because the warrior who operated the star boat was not able to keep up with Chu Jia's adjustment in time, although it would not affect the whole body and affect the entire ship formation, but it also caused the medium-sized star ship to suffer a lot of additional attacks, so that the starboard hull of the star boat was almost broken, at least more than ten warriors died on the spot, and more were seriously injured.
As for another medium-sized star ship that was severely damaged, it was because of the mistake of the Giant Ape King that the buildings on the deck of this star boat were almost smoothed out by the seventh-order emperor's long-handled giant axe.
More than twenty warriors flew away from the ship formation with the slashed hull building, and only a few people were finally returned, and a second-rank real person sitting on this star boat was also seriously injured in the process, and almost lost all of his combat power.
Later, it was Tian Mengzi who personally ventured from the Lingcang under the cover of the ship formation to sit on this severely damaged star ship, so that the situation would not deteriorate because of this.
Even if it seems that the Star Boat and Ship Formation side has the upper hand temporarily with the help of the ship formation to attack the formation, but in fact this situation is also very fragile, once the Giant Ape King can't resist the impact of the seventh-order emperor, or if there is one or two more mistakes, I am afraid that the entire ship formation will collapse immediately, and the situation will be reversed.
The battle between the two sides has lasted for about a day, two nights, and nearly eighteen hours since the meteorite rain attack, and both the beast tide side and the star boat fleet side have almost been exhausted to the extreme.
Whether it is Chu Jia, who gritted his teeth and insisted on maintaining the ship formation joint attack system, or the giant ape king who turned into a "blood ape" again because blood seeped out of his pores under the suppression of the seventh-order emperor; or the beast tide that was still rushing left and right under the siege of the ship formation, or the seventh-order emperor commander who could retreat at any time, but still launched an onslaught on the ship formation, it was all the same!
Because both sides actually know very well that whoever can hold on longer will be more likely to completely defeat the other spiritually and willingly.
----------
At the same time, in a secret room on the bilge of the Lingcang.
A being who was dressed in clothes but could not hide some of the inhuman features on his body said in a hoarse voice that seemed to be rolling in the gravel: "Actually, if you make a move, it's very simple!"
Shang Xia, who was sitting opposite him, said expressionlessly: "In this kind of star sea world where great power belongs to oneself, if everything needs me to take action, then what is the point of others growing up?"
"Haha!"
The existence of the dry voice made an incomprehensible laugh out of his mouth.
Shang Xia ignored the meaning he wanted to express in the other party's voice, but said: "It seems that my ability has reached its limit, and your body can no longer recover to the better!"
The dry voice came out of the mouth of the person in front of him again: "It is enough to be able to recover some of my reason, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Shang Xia smiled, as if he didn't take the other party's promise to heart, and just said: "So, the opposite side of the wasteland forbidden land in the Feichen Star Area is a starry sea world that is good at controlling beasts?"
"It's a sea of stars, it's not just about controlling beasts!"
The person who made the dry voice still seemed to have not adapted to the movement of speaking, so each time he spoke, he tried to keep it as short as possible.
"Sea of stars? So is the manipulator behind this beast tide the seventh-order Snow Crane Emperor, or is there someone else?"
Shang Xia asked curiously.
The dry and hoarse voice laughed again: "I don't know, but the giant ape under you must have become the target of the other party!"
