Everyone frowned as they looked at the Daytime Alms Construction Team.

"Do they really not care about the cost?"

"You've even tricked out the road roller!"

Junlin gazed at the road roller their Construction Team had modified and wondered, "Did you guys come up with this yourselves?"

Old Mo and the others were also full of curiosity. Now that they've even made a road roller, can Aircraft Cannons be far behind? No! By then, they wouldn't be ordinary Aircraft Cannons. Aircraft Cannons enchanted with magic would be far more powerful than gunpowder!

"The Great Inventor suggested this to us," said Daytime Alms with a hint of pride. "Using the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc to forge it for us. How about that? Impressive, right?"

Their Construction Team finally had its moment to shine.

"Not good, the Sea Race is starting to surge forward."

A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice turned to warn everyone as he saw the Sea Race advancing with the waves.

Junlin quickly grabbed the Black Dragon Dagger and said gravely, "First, we clear out the Sea Race to ensure we win this battle."

After speaking, he led the Lingxiao Hall members to reinforce positions on the Dam where hands were short.

Daytime Alms turned and yelled, "Brothers, let's drive around and clear the area first! Give it all you've got this time!"

"Don't worry, Boss, we know how to have fun!"

"I'm fed up with seafood. I'm eager to finish the Task and go back to eating Demonic Beasts."

"Don't even mention it. I had seafood online yesterday, and offline, my wife made me eat abalone. My whole body feels numb."

"Are you sure that 'abalone' was the real deal?"

"..."

The Construction Team's road rollers thundered across the Dam, sweeping through it once again.

The Players also fought against the Sea Race's assault with even more fervor.

Players who died did not hesitate to use Resurrection and rush back to the fray.

So many Sea Race meant so many tangible Contribution Points—how could they possibly miss out?

Xu Nian and his two companions were somewhat relieved watching this scene.

Luo Yuan remarked with a sardonic look, "Now I understand why you're so confident. With a scene like this, it's useless even if hordes of Sea Race come!"

Useless? Not necessarily.

Xu Nian's expression turned serious as he said, "You're underestimating the Sea Race. This is just the first wave of probing."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan's and the Blood Demoness's expressions changed.

The first wave of probing? Was there more to come? The first probing wave already brought tens of thousands from the Sea Race. How many more were waiting to attack them? Good heavens! Had the Sea Race really gone this mad?

The Players had nearly cleared the Sea Race from the Dam, resulting in countless dead Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.

But this was only the first batch.

The Endless Sea was the Sea Race's territory; who knew how many of them lurked within?

The Sea Race also realized something was amiss.

No matter how many members of the Human Race they killed, reinforcements kept arriving, as if they were endless.

"Damn Human Race! They actually set a trap for us!"

"Retreat, everyone retreat! We need Tiger Shark to come and exterminate them—there's something wrong with these humans!"

"AHHH, my Big Brother just died right in front of me! Damn Human Race, this isn't over!"

"Let's pull back for now. Once Tiger Shark arrives, none of these humans will survive!"

"..."

The Sea Race began to retreat continuously, each of them scared off by the Players.

They couldn't handle the Dam.

Riding the waves, they could fight the Human Race to some extent.

But with those strange Human Race contraptions, just one pass could cause severe casualties, even grinding their bodies into mush.

How were they supposed to fight that?

They could only retreat first and contact more of the Sea Race to deal with the Human Race here.

"Did we win? We won!"

"HAHAHA, I knew we would win this round! Did these seafood really think they could beat us?"

"Brothers, we've successfully defended the Dam!"

"Shall we celebrate with some seafood? Little Boss, quick, make a pot of seafood soup!"

"..."

Seeing the Sea Race retreat, the Players became ecstatic.

They all wanted to celebrate.

This was an epic victory of a thousand people against ten thousand.

If they didn't celebrate, wouldn't that be a disservice to all their preparations here?

Inside the Command Post, Chaotic Dance Steps also took a deep breath of relief.

Thank goodness.

The Players had held on in this battle, so Sect Leader Xu Nian didn't need to intervene.

"Don't get too carried away!" Neighbor Six said, glaring at his Communication Ring. "We have to defend against three waves of the Sea Race's attacks. This was only the first one. Let's celebrate later. First, fix up the Dam and redo the Arrays."

Indeed, this was only the first wave of the Sea Race invasion. There were still two more waves waiting for the Players.

The Players knew all too well the principle that pride comes before a fall.

"Old Six is right. Let's celebrate later. For now, let's repair the defensive structures!"

Junlin retracted his gaze and turned to say, "Daytime Alms, can your Construction Team build a few Towers on the Dam?"

Towers? Is this about protecting the radishes?

Daytime Alms, clearly understanding his intention, nodded. "No problem! With our speed, we can handle it in an hour. But after that, we'll need Array Mages to inscribe the Arrays. Plus, if you have any requirements for the Tower, feel free to mention them."

This was something Junlin had just suggested.

After all, with Towers, the Players could use them to attack, which would strengthen their firepower.

Chaotic Dance Steps, upon hearing about the Towers, quickly spoke up, "Based on the Five Elements Technique, the Towers shouldn't be too high, but they must ensure sufficient magic output!"

At this stage, the Players were still depending on manpower to output the Five Elements Technique.

The idea of Towers being able to output independently was far too difficult.

"Then, let those who are most proficient with the Five Elements Technique take the lead!"

Junlin said as he looked towards Dung Beetle and the members of the Ao Xiang Squad.

At this stage, when talking about who was the most skilled with the Five Elements Technique, it definitely had to be the Ao Xiang Squad.

Their proficiency in the Five Elements Technique had long surpassed that of all other Players!

"Why are you looking at us? We don't do that kind of work."

"That's right, that's right. We still have many powerful weapons we haven't used yet. You should find someone else for this job."

"Isn't Chaotic Dance Steps good at Fire Magic? Let him do it. Just keep a few smart ones at the Command Post."

"So, are you suggesting Chaotic Dance Steps isn't smart?"

"..."

The members of the Ao Xiang Squad flatly refused.

Stand on high ground and attack?

That was nowhere near as thrilling as fighting alongside their Boss among the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.

Following Boss Dung Beetle ensured meat on the plate!

"You decide for yourselves," Dung Beetle said gravely. "If you're not willing, then there's no need to force it. Following me will still lead to killing Sea Race!"

Seeing this, Junlin and his team had no choice but to let it go.

Chaotic Dance Steps, looking at his Communication Ring, said, "The second wave is definitely going to be stronger than the first. This time, let's use the Five Elements Technique to wear them down."

Wear them down? How? Hadn't they seen what happened to the enemy? The Players' Fire Magic was directly extinguished by a large wave they cast. How were they supposed to fight like that?

"The next wave of attacks will be under my command. Aside from the Melee Players, all the ranged players will get on the Towers," Chaotic Dance Steps continued. "Ensure that each Tower can accommodate at least five people, and personnel proficient in all aspects of the Five Elements Technique must be present."

Neighbor Six, upon hearing this, frowned and said, "It's too risky. Plus, the number of ranged players far exceeds that of Melee Players. Once the Sea Race gets close, it's going to be troublesome."

"If we die, we'll just come back. Our advantage is the ability to be resurrected!" Chaotic Dance Steps explained. "The next wave of Sea Race will definitely be stronger. When that time comes, Old Mo will need to step forward to deal with the high-strength Sea Race."

Hearing his name, Old Mo tightened the bandages on his hand and nodded. "Don't worry. Once the Death Gate is open, I can kick even deities to death!"

He was currently the only Player who could open the Eighth Death Gate.

As long as he opened the Eighth Death Gate in advance and kicked the Sea Race high-level fighters to death, the remaining Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals could only wait to be routed by the Players once again.

Chaotic Dance Steps was responsible for the specific arrangements for this second wave.

This time, Neighbor Six was merely providing assistance.

To be honest, he still felt that Chaotic Dance Steps' plan was a bit too risky.

While the Towers could increase attack distance, they also acted like Cages that imprisoned the Players.

Should the Towers be destroyed, five Players would perish at once.

Under widespread destruction, even if the Players could be resurrected and rush back, the time lag was a deadly threat.

But looking at Chaotic Dance Steps' confident expression, Neighbor Six refrained from saying anything more.

On the Dam, Daytime Alms led the Construction Team to start building the Towers.

And below the Dam, the Glutton Squad had set up their pots and started to gorge themselves on the Sea Race corpses.

"We should've brought some Orleans-style Seasoning. I'm getting sick of eating the same flavor all the time," Food Heaven said, gnawing on a crab claw with relish.

Cat Eats Fish nodded in agreement and said, "I wonder what Sea Demons taste like. I would have tried it directly if they weren't so ugly and humanoid."

"Let's skip the humanoids. The sight of them just makes it hard to swallow," Husky on the Tip of the Tongue chimed in. "During the fight, I saw a giant Scallop appear. Its size was outrageous, probably enough for several of us to eat together."

Hearing this, the members of the Glutton Squad's eyes lit up.

For the past month, they had been eating nothing but Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals; they had even tasted Seahorse Military Advisors.

They were tired of it.

The sea was full of delicious things to eat.

Since Husky on the Tip of the Tongue had spotted a Scallop, surely Scallops would show up in the next wave?

When that time came, they would rush for it... grill that Scallop...

"Brothers, our target for the next wave is Scallops! Who's going to get a bigger grill later?"

"Grills are boring. It's better to steam them. We should sprinkle some Chopped Green Onions. I remember Farmer's Three Punches has grown quite a lot of Spirit Onions. The flavor must be great."

"Let's also change the flavor of the Hot Pot. Go get some tomatoes from Farmer's Three Punches, and we'll do a Tomato Pot Base this time."

"Should we call some others? I feel like we don't have enough people for this."
