However, the flames extinguish only briefly, and soon, the flames on Flame Demon Gros will reignite, even more intensely than before.
Once Flame Demon Gros reignited the flames, it roared angrily and swung its arms with all its might to counterattack.
The team strictly followed Lu Heng's orders, keeping as much distance as possible to avoid being caught by Flame Demon Gros's attack.
Flame Demon Gros found its movements in the sea quite restricted, which greatly limited its ability to harm the team.
However, Flame Demon Gros not only had its main body but also hundreds of Flame Demon Puppets.
These Flame Demon Puppets transformed from members of the Sea Demon Clan after their death, inheriting part of the Sea Demon Clan's original powers.
Especially Onatu, who, upon becoming a Flame Demon Puppet, not only did not lose combat power but gained flame ability, making its combat strength even greater.
Flame Onatu emerged from the sea and spewed flames towards Liu Haiyang and the others.
Cao Lixiong rushed forward immediately, raised an energy shield, and blocked the flame spray.
Lin Zeyu took out his sniper rifle, aimed at Flame Onatu, intending to fire.
Flame Onatu reacted very swiftly, sinking into the sea instantly to dodge the bullets.
Lin Zeyu fired immediately, the bullet shot into the sea, its power quickly impeded by the resistance of the water, losing speed after less than a meter underwater, sinking straight to the seabed.
Flame Onatu thus alternated between diving below the sea surface and emerging from it to launch attacks on the team.
Not just Onatu, the other Sea Demons transformed into Flame Demon Puppets also launched attacks, leaping across the sea surface.
For a moment, the team found themselves unable to deal with these Sea Demon-transformed Flame Demon Puppets.
Any attacks that came into contact with the seawater saw their power greatly reduced.
Although Liu Haiyang and others had means of attacking underwater, their combat strength underwater could not surpass that of a Sea Demon.
For a moment, they found themselves unable to deal with these Flame Demon Puppets.
Flame Demon Gros ordered the Flame Demon Puppets to hold off the Human Recruiters and began moving west.
The Deep Freeze Sea Trench is 200 kilometers away from the West Coast, as long as Flame Demon Gros reaches the shore, it can return to the Molten Crown.
If Flame Demon Gros cannot be stopped at sea, the Black Iron Dwarves will be in trouble.
"These flame Sea Demons are really troublesome, completely cannot hit them." Liu Haiyang got his temper riled after being chased several times by Flame Onatu.
Aside from the Flame Demon Puppets, a Shadow Demon also emerged from the sea and teamed up with Flame Demon Gros, making it impossible for Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Xie Shi'en to deal with the Flame Demon Puppets.
Just as the situation became increasingly tense.
Lin Zeyu raised his sniper rifle, a cold glint in his eyes, activated his Class Ability, and aimed at Flame Onatu once more.
Flame Onatu, sensing being locked on by the muzzle, again sank to the seabed.
This time, Lin Zeyu did not rush to fire but first activated the Second Transition Class Ability [Demon Hunter Mark] to lock Onatu's position.
Then activated the Third Transition Class Ability [Void Ballistics].
Combining both Class Abilities with the [Plasma Armor-Piercing Bomb] Skill, unleashing full firepower.
The bullet vanished the instant it left the barrel, and the next moment, Onatu's body at a hundred meters underwater suddenly exploded, directly blasted apart by the bullet.
The bullet fused with three kinds of energy was terrifyingly powerful, even an Elder-level Sea Demon like Onatu couldn't withstand this shot.
The body exploded into several pieces.
However, as Onatu had already transformed into a Flame Demon Puppet, its body displayed no life signs, so even after the body exploded, the upper half could still move, attempting to sink into the deep sea for reassembly.
Lin Zeyu did not give it the chance; he raised his left hand, squeezed his fist fiercely, and shouted: "Explode!"
[Demon Hunter Mark] exploded, causing equal damage to the mark's duration.
Onatu's upper body exploded again, completely fragmenting, impossible to reassemble.
After dealing with Onatu, the remaining Flame Demon Puppets were less troublesome, allowing Liu Haiyang to lead the Ocean Team in handling them.
Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Xie Shi'en kept stalling Flame Demon Gros's movement, slowing its pace as much as possible.
However, Flame Demon Gros was too enormous, a two-hundred-meter-long Elemental Demon King; even with fierce attacks, inflicting effective damage was challenging.
Moreover, they had to be cautious of Flame Demon Gros's counterattack.
With Flame Demon Gros's flame energy level, being hit by its flames could strip someone's skin even if they survived.
Besides Flame Demon Gros, a Shadow Demon nearby launched surprise attacks.
The Shadow Demon was stronger and faster than other Shadow Demons, making even intercepting it challenging for Lu Heng.
Moreover, this Shadow Demon was very sly, primarily targeting Su Muyu instead of attacking Lu Heng and Xie Shi'en.
Lu Heng had a speed advantage, making it easy for him to dodge the Shadow Demon's attacks.
Xie Shi'en also had strong space movement ability, so they both could handle the Shadow Demon's attacks.
Only Su Muyu, being a Perception System, lacked the combat strength to match Lu Heng and Xie Shi'en, making each Shadow Demon assault quite dangerous.
Lu Heng remained nearby, blocking the Shadow Demon's attacks for her.
This stalemate persisted for half an hour.
The first wave of reinforcements finally arrived.
Dwarf King Sorreville Copper Furnace and Great Wizard Hogrey of the Black Iron Tribe, using flying witchcraft, arrived at Tidal Sea, joining the battle to prevent Flame Demon Gros from further advancing west.
