Chapter 586: 586
It was then they understood the meaning of precision. Li Yao continuously loaded the main cannons and, every time, he was able to aim and hit urately within three to four seconds. The sight of this had the gunners’ eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.
They should know that targeting with a cannon was an enormous challenge; engineering knowledge offered some assistance, but not to this extraordinary extent.
Of course, they had no idea that Li Yao had practiced countless times in his previous life and was extremely familiar with this, mastering this weapon was just a minor task to him.
More importantly, he now had the Eye of the Creator, an extraordinary artifact, which whenbined with his existing skill made Li Yao unstoppable. Naturally, spiritual power was also a crucial factor.
No matter how formidable the support, they could not achieve such perfection. Spiritual power was indeed the most significant factor. Ordinary soldiers or Geng City’s masters could cover a fixed area with no problem, but targeting a moving object was much more difficult.
At this moment, the monster was covered in blood. The entire harbor’s waters had been dyed red. As Li Yao had drawn its attention, most of the surviving crew members had gradually moved back to shore and out of danger.
Li Yao’s pressure had also markedly reduced. Unlike the hydra, this monster was like a dragon in water, with its only attack on the harbor being the physical crushing force exerted by its powerful body.
Its ranged skill attack was a jet of water, but Li Yao was too agile. Its water jets could never hit him.
It naturally could sense Li Yao’s weakness, yet now this little monkey was constantly moving up and down, manning the cannons and fighting back cons.
In the harbor, only the sound of the booming cannons remained. However, when the monster’s health dropped to two-thirds, it stared with its ring red eyes at the distant figure of Li Yao, growling in unwillingness before submerging into the sea.
The color drained from Li Yao’s face as he said, “Prepare the stone-thrower,unch the blindfish.”
As Li Yao spoke, the stone-thrower soldiers who were already preparedunched from the distant city wall.
This stone-thrower was installed on the walls of the dock area, originally intended to deal with pirate attacks. Against this sea monster, it was generally useless.
Upon hearing that Li Yao was preparing blindfish, they brought the fish in barrels to the stone-thrower.
A dozen barrels were hurled onto the water surface, shattering and dispersing, revealing glowing fish in the water.
Whether alive or dead, these fishes emitted soft fluorescence, which was quite beautiful.
The living blindfish, in particr, began to swallow the blood in the sea, their bodies glowing brighter.
“Well done, finally drove that monster away.” The captain pped Li Yao on the shoulder andughed, “Brother, you really think things through, even knowing that blindfish are the cleaners of the sea.”
Li Yao’s eyes were firmly looking at the water surface, still appearing alert. Hearing the captain’s words, he said, “These blindfish aren’t just cleaners.”
The captain was happy. If the harbor was damaged, it would be disastrous when the fleet returned. This time, having Li Yao alone resulted in far fewer losses. He was more useful than the princess.
So, he casually asked, “What else can they do?”
Li Yao calmly stated, “Sea monsters can’t resist the temptation of blindfish. Even if it’s dying, it wille back.”
“If ites back then ites ba…,” The captain hadn’t finished speaking when he realized the meaning of Li Yao’s words, his face quickly turning pale, “My God, you’re crazy. We finally drove it away, and now you want to lure it back.”
But Li Yao just smiled, saying, “This type of monster holds grudges, I assume ites here to wreak havoc around the same time each year.”
“Correct, it’s been a number of consecutive years now, but it came a bit early this year,” said the captain.
“So, I want topletely remove this threat. I could havepleted the mission as it was. I don’t mind the trouble now, what are you afraid of?” Li Yao continued, “Continue loading the artillery shells. It should being back soon.”
Thinking of Li Yao’s cannon skills just then, the captain regained confidence. If they could truly eliminate this monster, he would undoubtedly make a significant contribution.
Originally, his abilities had stagnated, and he had thought he couldn’t be promoted any higher in rank. But now, listening to Li Yao suddenly sparked hopes in him. If they really seeded, this would definitely be the best opportunity.
Li Yao naturally understood these sea monsters. They loved eating blindfish, and eating arge amount of them greatly boosted their strength.
But blindfish were detect these sea monsters easily and usually swam away when they sensed their presence, which made catching them difficult for the sea monsters.
However, to these blindfish, the blood from the sea monsters was an irresistible temptation. The living blindfish greedily swallowed whatever was on the sea surface.
“Look, it’sing,” a Hunter who had activated his Eagle Eye Technique shouted excitedly.
As he spoke, after a moment, everyone saw a giant figure under the water. Then, it suddenly burst out.
Ssh…
The massive body of the sea monster emerged, and, at the same time, a flock of blindfish fell into its mouth.
But simultaneously, Li Yao’s cannons began to roar.
The sea monster seemed to ignore the damage to the harbor and even Li Yao’s attacks, as it continued to devour the scattered blindfish.
The people onshore were astounded. They hadn’t expected such a situation to ur.
“Quick, prepare new blindfish. This time add the Advanced Sleeping Potion,” Li Yao shouted.

Soon, the barrels of blindfish soaked in Sleeping Potion were thrown into the water. Seeing the current situation, the captain had fully trusted Li Yao’s judgment and was following his instructions promptly.
When the sea monster’s health dropped to about a third, it finally realized something was amiss. The blindfish were almost depleted, and at this moment, its body was glowing.
Li Yao immediately stopped his onught. The sea monster, who was about to move away, looked at the direction of the cannons in confusion before continuing to feast.
Eventually, the sea monster fell into a deep sleep, floating in the harbor like a small ind.
“What do we do now? It’s just asleep. If it’s subjected to pain or other stimuli, it will wake up quickly. It’s toorge to be brought ashore,” the captain asked, puzzled.
Li Yao grinned, saying, “Captain, just watch. I have my methods to permanently eliminate this threat.”
Li Yao approached the sea monster, silently praying that his spection was correct.
Gently lifting his hands toward the monster, he unleashed the Dark Touch. Numerous tiny tentacles stretched out, covering the sea monster’s body.
The people watched as the originally ck tentacles sparkled with a crimson light, and strands of life force extended along Li Yao’s arm.
The captain, who was standing close to Li Yao, was struck by the aura of decay and dark evil being emitted by Li Yao, looking at the tentacles intervening with shock…
