Chapter 239: 214. The Evolved Thunder, Fire Thunder Spear
In the abnormal space.
William turned back to watch the "portal" close, his heart sinking deeply.
How could it be so fast?
Besides fear, he suddenly felt a sense of irony.
The Federation's top brass had gathered enough strength, organized an elite team, planning to showcase themselves in front of the world.
Yet they rushed into the abnormal space, only to walk into a farcical trap.
At this moment.
His deputy asked anxiously, "William, what should we do now?"
William looked towards the distant ship and shouted, "Everyone head for the research vessel, use the ship's structure to fight the giant spider monsters."
This stretch of ocean was the domain of the giant spider monsters, and Great Xia People found it hard to battle them on the sea; boarding the research vessel was the best option.
The Eastern Science wasn't just an ordinary research vessel; it carried a batch of heavy weapons, providing a huge advantage.
William's command abilities were quite commendable; even in a crisis, he remained clear-headed.
Over a dozen water ability users took the lead, rushing towards the Eastern Science amidst the waves.
Several small boats closely followed them.
"Hiss!"
A giant spider monster let out a sharp screech, blocking the rescue team's escape route.
A fierce battle broke out immediately.
Over a dozen water ability users joined forces to raise a wave 20 meters high, aggressively sweeping towards the giant spider monster.
William yelled again, "Beware of the monster's psychic attacks!"
He constantly remembered that "the giant spider monster is a spiritual element creature," never neglecting to warn the rescue team members.
Everyone heightened their vigilance.
For superpower users, the difference in being prepared for psychic attacks was significant.
If unprepared, they might be caught off guard and possibly pass out, completely losing their combat capability.
If they were prepared, keeping their spirits alert, they might only suffer mentally, spitting a few mouthfuls of old blood.
Two seconds later.
The giant waves crashed into the enormous giant spider monster.
"Boom!"
With only a sound resembling muffled thunder.
The giant spider monster was knocked over and carried underwater by the torrents.
William felt joy in his heart and quickly shouted, "Quickly, everyone, speed up and board the research vessel!"
The giant spider monster's abilities skew towards spiritual elements; its physical value isn't too strong.
He believed even though the giant spider monster had a warrior-level body, this strike could likely injure it.
And after being wounded, the monster likely wouldn't have the courage to intercept again.
Soon after.
The vanguard squad crossed through the monster's interception zone.
Right at this moment.
A shocking change occurred.
Several dozen white shadows emerged with a sharp sensation, swiftly gliding up from underwater.
The moment William witnessed the white shadows, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a word flashed in his mind: "Strong Manifestation."
The so-called "Strong Manifestation" is a power only warriors can hone, far surpassing mere power.
William felt something was amiss: "Isn't the giant spider monster a spiritual element creature? How can the Strong Manifestation be this mighty?"
In an instant afterward.
Eleven water ability users tragically were struck down by the Strong Manifestation.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Their bodies exploded.
Large clouds of blood mist spread out, dyeing the seawater a blood-red color.
William watched in horror, screaming, "No!"
He finally realized that the intelligence was entirely wrong.
The giant spider monster wasn't a spiritual element creature at all; its physical value was unimaginably strong.
Precisely because of this, when faced with the combined strike of over a dozen water ability users, the giant spider monster didn't move an inch.

In the sky.
Faelan presenter A Lang, witnessed this breathtaking reversal.
Originally, Carmenia's rescue team broke into the abnormal space, seemingly about to bring the research vessel back, yet suddenly, they found themselves in a dire situation.
Through the camera lens, this scene spread across Canglan Star instantly.
The entire world was shaken.
A Lang looked down below, calling out "Lord" several times.
His tone was incredibly excited: "Carmenians seem to have fallen into the monster's trap; this is truly terrible news."
Though he spoke of "terrible news," his tone seemed to take pleasure in the situation.
For global media, this was another opportunity to capitalize on a tragedy.
Soon after.
The tragedy unfolded.
Over a dozen water ability users were suddenly vaporized by the Strong Manifestation.
"My Lord!"
A Lang shouted with all his might.
Shaken by the scene, he unexpectedly found himself at a loss for words, only repeating continuously, "It's so tragic! This truly is so tragic!"
Taking a breath, A Lang didn't forget to remind: "Audience, given the graphic nature of the footage, please avoid viewing by minors."
Even a fool could see that if one giant spider monster was this formidable, what horror would many of them pose?
Carmenia Federation's rescue team was about to face a crushing disaster.
A minute later.
In the footage.
The battle ended.
The illusory-looking sea surface turned a light crimson.
The rescue organized by Carmenia Federation, a total of two hundred superpower users, perished entirely!
The entire force was annihilated!
Even the small boats entering the abnormal sea region were all sunk.
A Lang didn't know what to say, only murmuring softly, "This is truly a heart-wrenching tragedy!"
Indeed, he felt some pain.
But not very much.
A Lang felt more the excitement of "having a chance to report a super major news story."

On Carmenia Rescue Ship.
Remondo witnessed the complete demise of the rescue team, feeling a strong sense of dizziness and nearly collapsing.
It's over!
Everything is over!
Embarrassment on a global scale; Carmenia Federation absolutely humiliated itself!
His assistant quickly supported his arm, asking softly, "Mr. Remondo, are you alright?"
Remondo took a difficult breath, responding, "I'm fine."
He freed himself from the assistant's hand, heading toward the cabin entrance.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The sound of photos being taken continuously echoed.
A group of reporters onboard aimed their cameras at Mr. Remondo.
Previously, some reporters cheered for Remondo, congratulating the rescue team on breaking through the abnormal space.
The journalists now turned Raimondo into a news story, mercilessly capturing him in his dog-tired appearance.
Raimondo suddenly exploded, yelling, "You bunch of mother**ckers, stop taking pictures."
"Click!"
The journalists remained unfazed, continuing to shoot photos from various angles.
Some even showed excitement on their faces.
The more Raimondo lost his composure, the higher the topic's interest, and the greater the news value.
The assistant gazed at his boss, revealing full sympathy in his expression.
He watched his boss enter the cabin and then turned to look at the Great Xia rescue ship, sighing silently.
The Federation rescue team's poor performance would make the Great Xia's performance a win, regardless.
The assistant dialed the captain's phone, whispering, "Mr. Fisher, let's head back!"
The captain asked, "Mr. Ed, are we returning to Shapudian?"
The assistant thought for a moment, then said, "Let's head to the Jin Kongque Kingdom and find a port to dock tonight."
The Federation rescue team was so disgraceful that they needed to act discreetly, avoiding media attention at all costs.
The captain replied, "Understood!"

The West Mountain.
Oleg, the Superpower User from the Bering Kingdom, watched the Carmenia rescue ship start, chuckling softly, "I like this conclusion!"
His companion nodded, "Me too."
As Bering People, they held no affection for the Carmenians.
Oleg turned to glance at the Great Xia Ghost, with eyes full of admiration.
Everyone thought the Giant Spider Monster's abilities leaned towards the Spiritual Element.
The Great Xia Ghost immediately recognized that the Giant Spider Monster was a physical Element creature.
Such keen insight was truly impressive!
Oleg also knew that the Great Xia Ghost was closely related to the Carmenia rescue team's downfall.
If not for the consecutive pressure from the Great Xia Ghost on the Carmenians, they wouldn't have rushed into the abnormal space, eventually being annihilated by the monsters.
No one in the world could find fault.
The Carmenians lacked skill; could they possibly blame the Great Xia People?
This sophisticated method of killing invisibly truly made Oleg admire them wholeheartedly.
A while later.
The West Mountain began gradually decelerating, stopping a kilometer away from the abnormal sea region.
This was the same distance where the Carmenia rescue ship had just stopped.
At that moment.
A commotion suddenly erupted on the deck.
Everyone's attention turned to the Eastern Science.
A blurry shadow appeared again in the phantom sea region, approaching the research vessel.
Oleg whispered, "This ship is doomed!"
His companion nodded, "These crew members are definitely dead!"
With just one Giant Spider Monster being so fierce, many Giant Spider Monsters gathering left no hope for the research vessel's survival.
Oleg was about to speak when he suddenly noticed Mr. Ghost standing at the ship's bow, raising his right hand.
He paused, saying excitedly, "The Great Xia Ghost is about to make a move."
At this moment.
Not only him.
The world's attention was locked on the Great Xia Ghost.
At the ship's bow.
Yang Fan quietly activated the Supreme Treasure Thunder Branch.
"Buzz~"
A slight electric current sound immediately rose.
A powerful Thunder Power flowed from the Supreme Treasure.
A while ago.
This Supreme Treasure finally underwent an evolution, gaining an additional ability.
In the palm of Yang Fan's right hand, an unnoticed red Short Spear appeared.
He gave it a name—Thunder Shock Spear.
Next moment.
A miraculous sight occurred.
All personnel on the West Mountain, whether on deck or the ship's crew inside, their hair rapidly stood up.
One by one, their hair turned into explosive styles, spreading globally through the camera lens.
Oleg jumped in surprise and couldn't help but swear, "Sh*t!"
He quickly exerted Power, trying to force his hair down.
Power and electric arcs immediately clashed, causing unexpected consequences.
"Pa!"
A light sound was heard.
A small amount of hair quietly turned into flying ash, scattering in the cold sea breeze.
Oleg also felt his Strength was being devoured.
This guy promptly dissipated his Power, not daring to force his hair down further.
Turning to the Great Xia Ghost, his face was filled with awe.
Oleg realized that a higher-level force suppressed his Strength, causing this situation.
After another half-second.
Changes happened around Yang Fan.
"Buzz~"
The Thunder Shock Spear suddenly shook slightly.
Subtle flame ripples, seemingly attracted by something, swiftly flowed toward the Thunder Shock Spear.
A "whoosh" was heard, and the Thunder Shock Spear ignited.
The flame ripples disappeared.
The earlier ripple of water once more emerged.
Yang Fan glanced at the Thunder Shock Spear, nodding satisfactorily, "This move can be called 'Fire Thunder Spear'."
The Thunder Shock Spear possessed a unique trait—it could merge with other forces.
By infusing it with Flame Power, the Thunder Shock Spear transformed into Fire Thunder Spear, combining "Thunder" and "Flame" powers.
Within thunder hides fire!
Within fire lies thunder!
This isn't a simple one plus one, but a geometric exponential increase.
"Click!"
"Click!"
Camera shutters rang out again.
The journalists keenly realized the Great Xia Ghost was about to pull off something big, frantically taking more photos.
Oleg glanced at it, letting out a muffled groan, hurriedly avoiding their gaze, feeling more terrified.
Just gazing at the Fire Thunder Spear made the guy slightly feel an obvious discomfort in the soul.
It seemed to have a slightly scorching sensation.
And seemed like being stabbed by countless needles.
Yang Fan no longer waited, suddenly stepping forward to hurl the Fire Thunder Spear.
At that instant.
The Fire Thunder Spear vanished.
Everyone aboard shouted in astonishment.
The global audience before their televisions also couldn't help but exclaim.
Up high in the sky.
The Fire Thunder Spear appeared out of nowhere, rapidly plunging downward, heading for the area below the abnormal region.
