Chapter 1243: Underwater Performance
“Water” and “land” were completely different existences. Although the former could be felt all around the body, it would never give one the sense of security that “land” gave. In all directions, once the pervasive water surrounded you, the fatal suffocation would follow closely, and the deepest fear of mother nature would follow closely.
Holding the underwater combat dagger in her hand, Ye Jian turned around. The first thing she did was float to the surface and breathe heavily. Then, she attacked the “water ghost” who wanted to lock her feet again.
Using the buoyancy of the water, Ye Jian twisted her legs forcefully and spun her entire body three times like a spinning top. If she used too much strength, a small whirlpool would appear in the water.
With her lower limbs still locked, she could still borrow the power of her lower limbs to spin her entire body. This move involuntarily made Big Whale’s face reveal some surprise.
Didn’t they say that the female soldier came from the army? How did she know the key to underwater combat?
They could only communicate through hand signals when they were moving in the water. Otherwise, Big Whale might have directly asked Ye Jian if she was once a navy soldier.
Ye Jian didn’t give Big Whale too much time to think. After her right leg was freed, she lifted her leg and kicked the other party’s shoulder with the decisiveness of a Special Forces soldier.
The training effects of her endurance and weighted run appeared. Although there was buoyancy in the water, Ye Jian’s legs were strong enough to kick Big Whale that he had to take two steps back.
Underwater combat could not be fought with brute force, or it would speed up the exhaustion.
Big Whale was shocked. Ye Jian who was freed knew that she couldn’t fight like she did on land. Although the kick landed on the water ghost’s shoulder, she used up a lot of energy.
The change in the point of impact became the biggest obstacle in underwater combat. Without any support, the water created buoyancy and pressure on the human body. At the same time, it also affected the force of every movement. The lethality was reduced to a dismaying level!
Just now, if it was a land fight, her kick would definitely have sent the “water ghost” flying instead of just letting him take two steps back!
She had to think of a way!
Ye Jian managed to break free from the lock twice in a row. She stopped fighting and swam towards the sh.o.r.e with a tense expression!
Big Whale laughed in his heart when he saw this. Although the female soldier was fast, she was not as fast as him. The water was the water ghosts’ world! The army soldier will have to be slightly inferior.
The sound of waves came from behind her. Ye Jian, who was swimming forward at her fastest speed, only swam for less than two meters before she realized that she had made a serious and low-level mistake.
If she were to compete with the water ghost in swimming speed, wouldn’t she be throwing an egg at a rock?!
Ye Jian, who had always been rational, realized that she had made a mistake. She came up with a countermeasure in a second. If she couldn’t escape, she could only make the first move!
When fighting underwater, the body was mostly in a p.r.o.ne position. Fighting with a water ghost that was familiar with underwater combat required one to rapidly change the body’s condition… How could one change the body’s condition and find the best point to withstand the force?
Hence, Ye Jian released her inflatable backpack and dived into the water. For the time being, she will have to hide from the water ghost.
Without any advantages in the water, if Ye Jian wants to escape, she needs to fight and retreat quickly… Ye Jian hid and recalled as she played hide-and-seek with Big Whale.
Since the other party did not have any diving equipment, he would not be able to stay under the water for too long, just like her. Also, he used the ‘lock’ movement just now, which meant that there was a ‘lock’ in underwater combat.
