Sakurako explained: "These frogman ninjas are just like us ordinary ninjas. They were captured and trained by the Edo Navy when they were young. But unlike us, they are all men, and most of them are descendants of fishermen. The Navy specially taught them how to hold their breath underwater, so that they can lurk underwater for a long time without being detected."

"What on earth do they want to do by staying underwater?" Mao Shiba asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"They actually use hammers and chisels to lurk underwater and drill holes in enemy warships to cause damage!" Sakurako replied.

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he couldn't help thinking: Isn't this what we call frogmen in later generations? Modern frogmen use time bombs, and this kind of secret weapon hidden underwater is often hard to guard against.

It seems that frogmen also existed in ancient times. Not to mention that the ironclad ship was only covered with a thick layer of steel armor, but if these frogmen dug along the rivets, they could still easily make several large holes in it.

Wei Xiaobao has a powerful spiritual sense that can detect all movements within a radius of one kilometer. After Yingzi's reminder, he immediately used his spiritual sense to conduct a comprehensive scan of the sea area below the entire naval fleet.

As expected, just as Sakurako said, there were not only ferocious great white sharks under the sea, but also more than 200 frogmen ninjas hiding in it. At this moment, these frogmen were holding chisels and hammers, hammering the rivets of the ironclad ship.

As for the 501 treasure ship, it was not equipped with iron armor, and its bottom was made entirely of wood. At this moment, about to frogman ninjas were hammering at the bottom of the ship, trying to make holes one after another. If they succeeded in making dozens of large holes, then this treasure ship would probably be completely scrapped, right?

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get into the water! Those frogman ninjas are trying to drill holes in the hull!" Wei Xiaobao shouted anxiously.

Before he finished speaking, he jumped into the vast ocean without hesitation. He quickly dived into the water and swam towards the treasure ship where the hole was easiest to be drilled like a nimble fish.

Shuang'er has water spirit roots, and water is as familiar and intimate to her as home. She has no fear at all, and dives into the sea without hesitation, her figure light and graceful, as if she has merged into the sea.

Su Quan had the wind spirit root, which was a variation of water and fire, allowing her to move freely in water. She entered the water as quickly as a breeze and followed closely behind Wei Xiaobao.

Princess Ling Zhao possesses the dual spiritual roots of water and wood, which makes her feel at home in the water without being affected at all. She followed the others closely, showing her extraordinary ability in water.

As for He Ti Shou, although she only has four spiritual roots, it contains the four attributes of water in the east, gold in the west, fire in the south, and wood in the north, but lacks the central earth. Therefore, she will not be afraid of ordinary water environment.

As for Wei Xiaobao, there is no need to say more. Although he is called the Five Spiritual Roots, he has all kinds of attributes but is not proficient in any of them. He can be said to be a typical useless spiritual root physique. However, even so, in the waters of this mortal world, even if he is a waste in the world of cultivation, he can still freely shuttle through the water.

Four ships, five people, Wei Xiaobao went to Baochao, Su Quan ran to the White Dragon Ship No. 203, Shuang'er went to the Green Dragon Ship No. 202, Ling Zhao and He Ti Shou were on the Giant Dragon Ship No. 201.

Ling Zhao and He Ti Shou sneaked under the ship like two nimble fish. The scene before them shocked them: forty or fifty ghostly black figures gathered at the bottom of the cabin, divided into a dozen groups, each with three to four people. These figures were concentrating on chiseling the gaps in the extremely hard iron armor on the outer layer of the hull.

The two of them made prompt decisions, quickly divided the work, and then swam towards the frogman ninja closest to them like an arrow.

Due to the dim light underwater and poor visibility, the frogmen were all focused on their work and no one noticed that an outsider was approaching. Even if someone noticed something unusual, they would probably just mistake it for a companion who came to help.

When He Ti Shou approached the frogman ninja in front of him about ten meters away, he suddenly raised his hand, condensed the true energy in his body into his fingertips, and instantly stimulated a series of dense pear blossom needles.

These steel needles, as thin as cow hair, shot out at an astonishing speed, accurately hitting the eyebrows and hearts of the three frogmen in front.

In an instant, the three frogmen died on the spot without even having time to let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, He Ti Shou turned around without hesitation and pounced on the next wave of frogmen.

At the same time, Princess Zhao Ling held an extremely sharp sword in her hand. Her spiritual roots and physique were far superior to He Ti Shou's, so she controlled and used the water spirit more skillfully and her swimming speed was also faster.

Relying on her extraordinary underwater speed, Princess Ling Zhao approached the frogman ninjas as quickly as lightning, like a cavalry galloping on land, and wielded the sword in her hand, accurately and without hesitation beheading and cutting them in half one by one... Every movement was so clean and neat, without any drag.

The slain frogman ninja was bleeding profusely, immediately attracting a group of ferocious great white sharks from the surrounding area to come and snatch the body.

However, Princess Ling Zhao was not afraid of these great white sharks, she knew that her mission was to kill the frogman ninjas and protect the warship from damage. Therefore, she had no time to care about these greedy sharks and continued to concentrate on stopping the next batch of frogman ninjas from sabotaging the warships.

As time went by, the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

This strong smell of blood not only stimulated the primitive animal nature of the great white sharks, but also made them extremely crazy and violent.

At this point, they were no longer satisfied with just fighting for the frogman's corpse, but began to attack any other creatures in the underwater area.

The first to be threatened are the frogmen ninjas. Although these frogmen ninjas have received strict underwater training since childhood and their water skills are far better than ordinary humans, they are still powerless when facing such fierce and numerous great white sharks. After all, no matter how good the diving skills are, how can they compete with the overlord of the ocean - the shark?

In an instant, the originally calm sea surface was surging with raging waves, and the blood-red sea was surging! The sharks, who were blood-thirsty, rushed towards each frogman ninja in groups like hungry tigers. In just a moment, the 40 or 50 frogman ninjas underwater had become food for the great white sharks before they even had time to send out a distress signal.

However, facing the fierce attacks of the sharks, Ling Zhao and He Ti Shou showed no fear.
