Chapter 0411: Fierce Battle at Sea
Xia Yu knew that there was no room for him to go to Bao'er in front of him, so he reluctantly threw himself into the icy sea water and quietly swam towards the nearest and largest battleship to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The little snake's head rubbed against Xia Yu's face uneasily, and its earthy yellow body twisted and coiled on Xia Yu's only exposed head.
The ship was quiet, there were many guards in the dark, Xia Yu didn't dare to trespass, hurriedly got into a cabin, hurriedly swept it, there was only one bed in the cabin that could hide people, and climbed under the bed without thinking about it.
At this time, Xia Yu had the heart to count the loot he got from Le Fei.
Le Fei is worthy of being the son of the city lord, although his strength is low, but there are indeed a lot of good things, all in a storage bag.
Storage bags, like Sumeru mustard in the cultivation realm, can be used to store items.
Xia Yu opened Lefei's storage bag.
In the storage bag, in addition to some daily necessities, Xia Yu found the most critical thing, the war beast card!
These war beast cards are used to seal war beasts, and most merchants will seal the captured war beasts in the cards and use them for trading.
On the back of the war beast card, there is a line of text, on which is the introduction of the sealed war beast.
Most of the war beasts are very ordinary.
Xia Yu was attracted to a war beast called Flower Mist, because this war beast had the ability to change its appearance and conceal its aura, Xia Yu decided to try to make a contract with this war beast.
The number of war beasts that the war beast master can contract is related to the strength of the soul, and the time to use the war beast is related to the spiritual power.
Xia Yu's soul easily made Xia Yu's contract with this flower mist war beast successful.
"My name is Hua Mist, and I can help you change your appearance and hide your breath. A delicate voice suddenly sounded in Xia Yu's mind.
War beasts can talk!
Xia Yu tried to communicate with this coquettish voice, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all.
While Xia Yu was thinking, Hua Mist's voice sounded again: "Someone is coming!"
As he spoke, the door to the cabin opened, and a woman dressed as a maid walked in.
The maid moved around the cabin, and lit two more lamps on the walls, and the cabin suddenly became much brighter. After a while of being busy, the maid lay down on the bed, as if she was tired, and after a while, the sound of even breathing sounded.
Xia Yu tried to move his body, slowly crawled out from under the bed, and quietly approached the sleeping maid, when his hand reached into the air, the maid's eyes suddenly opened, just in line with Xia Yu's eyes.
I don't know if it's still in a daze, the maid was obviously stunned for a moment, Xia Yu took this opportunity to quickly pounce on the maid, covering the maid's mouth with one hand, and pressing the maid's struggling body with the other.
The maid's whole body was suppressed by Xia Yu, and she couldn't move. Xia Yu didn't dare to be careless at this time, who knows if this maid has a war beast, and if she is careless, she is afraid that she will die without a place to be buried!
This maid was also bold, looking at Xia Yu curiously with a pair of beautiful eyes. When she saw Xia Yu's appearance carefully, her eyes were full of shock, her mouth moved, but she only made a "whine" sound, and her little head kept shaking.
"Don't struggle, or I'll strip you naked!" Xia Yu looked at the maid viciously, of course, this voice was not Xia Yu's real voice, it was the charming voice of Huamist.
The maid was obviously shocked, but just looked at Xia Yu in surprise.
"I was chased by the bad guys, so I was forced to flee to your ship. Xia Yu said shyly.
When the maid, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, heard this, her expression immediately became much kinder.
Xia Yu made up another story, saying that he offended the son of the city lord, and he not only forced his parents to die, but also killed himself...... Anyway, how did the dog's blood come about, and sure enough, she successfully deceived this maid, and she agreed to Xia Yu to hide in her cabin for the time being.
Through the maid's narration, Xia Yu knew that the battleship had actually started, and the owner of this maid called Promise was not simple, it turned out to be a city lord named Ouyang Wuyue! What surprised Xia Yu even more was that this time he went to sea with Ouyang Wuyue, and there was also a prominent second prince!
What are they going to do?
Although Xia Yu was a little worried about Bao'er's safety, but now he couldn't leave, and in desperation, Xia Yu had to huddle in the cabin of the promise.
Xia Yu made a promise not to inform her master of her existence, otherwise she would bring death to herself.
The promise was obviously moved by the miserable life experience described by Xia Yu, and even agreed to keep it a secret from the master for the time being.
In the early morning, the crisp call of the seabird made Xia Yu turn over and cover his head with a pillow, and suddenly, Xia Yu suddenly woke up, and he remembered that this was on the ship where I was not divided between friend and foe!
However, Hua Wu plays the role of "coverer" very well, if there is danger, Hua Wu will notify Xia Yu as soon as possible!
The promise didn't know where it went, but no one came to catch Xia Yu, saying that the promise was really conservative and didn't tell Ouyang Wuyue.
Xia Yu settled down and continued to cultivate spiritual power.
The day passed in the blink of an eye, and the warships sailed non-stop on the sea, and the vast sea was boundless, and not even a large island appeared in the middle. In the middle, he promised to come back twice, and brought breakfast and lunch to Xia Yu and went out again.
The night on the sea was mixed with the dryness of the sea breeze, and Xia Yu looked out at the dark sea through the narrow ventilation window. The stars in the distance twinkled, like the eyes of promise.
The "creak" hatch was pushed open, it was a promise.
"Promise, Ouyang City Lord, they are all resting?" Xia Yu turned his head to look at Promise's red face, the sea breeze was a little cold.
"No, Miss, they are all discussing things in the hall, and Miss asked me to come back and rest first!" Promise took out a bag of things from his back, "What do you guess I brought you to eat?"
"Osmanthus cake?" Xia Yu shook his nose.
"Wow! It's amazing, I guessed it at once!" Promise opened the bag, and sure enough, it was osmanthus cake.
After eating a snack, the promise fell asleep after a while.
Xia Yu turned over and made sure that the promise was not awakened, so he quietly got up.
"Hua Wu, no problem, right?" Xia Yu asked Hua Wu softly.
"No problem, I can already imitate the voice of the promise!"
Xia Yu was completely promised at this time, his face, hairstyle, figure, and even the accessories on his body were almost the same, but Xia Yu had an extra hairband turned into a small snake on his head. This is the ability of Hua Mist, but this is just a god, if you can't imitate the voice of the promise, once you meet an acquaintance, you will goof.
Xia Yu was too bored in the cabin, and decided to go out for a walk in the image of a promise.
Unconsciously, Xia Yu came to the deck, and to Xia Yu's surprise, there were several figures standing on the deck.
"Shenlong, they have news!" Qingyue's female voice said coldly, Xia Yu hid in the corner and looked at those people, the woman who spoke was about twenty years old, holding a thin sheepskin in her hand.
"What news did they bring this time?" asked a richly dressed young man. The young man had brown hair, and the friendly smile between his eyebrows and eyes was suppressed by the deep eye sockets, and a luxurious robe made his gloomy face slightly colored.
A war beast the size of a calf lay at his feet, and its soft "chirping" was very strange on the deck, but every time its cry sounded, the woman's brow furrowed.
The woman looked at the information on the sheepskin, and her chest rose and fell violently.
When everyone saw the appearance of the woman, they were all excited in their hearts.
When Xia Yu saw the appearance of these people, he was even more curious, what were they expecting?
"Are you back?" asked a hand-cranked middle-aged scribe with a handsome face.
"It's been so long that I can't help but go on a killing spree!" The man sitting in the corner, who was slightly shorter, said sadly, his tongue licking his lips from time to time.
Seeing that the eyes of several people were looking at her, the woman said hesitantly: "At the current rate, we will meet them tomorrow afternoon......!"
"Shen Long, in their letter, did they say that Wan Yan has obtained the art of war beast fusion?" The young man stroked the head of the war beast at his feet with one hand, and his narrow eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Second prince, he got Wanyan!" the woman's expression was a little nervous.
"Hmph!" the second prince's eyes seemed to widen a little, and he patted the head of the war beast on his hand, "Tomorrow afternoon, we will reach the vicinity of Tonghai Island, and we will wait there to intercept them all!"
Feeling the fluctuation of the spiritual power on the young man's body, the war beast screamed, and the majesty immediately burst out, Xia Yu felt the little snake's body trembling and shaking its headband.
The gloomy man laughed along with the strange screams of the war beasts, and the hall was strange for a moment.
The woman in the hall was none other than Ouyang Wuyue. Although she is the lord of the southeast city, she is indeed involuntarily. Ten years ago, Southeast City was subordinated to Longba under the peerless domineering spirit of Tianba, and Southeast City also escaped the fate of being washed in blood.
But in the past ten years, the people of Jiufang City under the rule of Long Ba have suffered unspeakably, and the tax has reached an alarming amount, and if it continues, I am afraid that the people will not be able to make a living.
Three years ago, Ouyang Lie, the former lord of the southeast city and Ouyang Wuyue's father, went to meet Long Ba to tell him about the people's hard work and begged Long Ba to reduce taxes, but Long Ba refused on the spot. Then, Ouyang Lie admonished each other with death, and Long Ba was angry, and released the Tianba War Beast on the spot, but poor Ouyang Lie was swallowed alive by Tianba without any resistance although he had a nine-rank war beast.
After Ouyang Wuyue took over as the city lord, the taxes collected by the dragon lord did not decrease but increased, for the sake of the people, for the hatred of her father, she and the faction headed by the second prince walked together, although the second prince was extremely annoying to her, but this is currently the biggest opposition to the dragon lord in Jiufang City.
This time, the second prince got the secret letter, and Wan Yan, the national teacher who was sent out by Long Ba to find the secret method five years ago, really found the art of war beast fusion, if you let Long Ba, with the strong anger of Tianba, I am afraid that the world will be dyed red with blood again!
Therefore, they went to sea, wanting to obtain the battle beast fusion technique before Wan Yan returned to the imperial city and end the rule of the dragon tyrant.
Xia Yu vaguely heard a rough idea, he saw that these people were about to disperse, and hurriedly left quietly and returned to the cabin of the promise.
At noon the next day, Promise brought lunch to Xia Yu and didn't go out again, Promise said that it was Ouyang Wuyue who told her to stay in the cabin and not to go out.
Xia Yu knew that a fierce battle was coming.
Today the weather is fine, the sky is an endless blue and the sea breeze is a little less bitter.
A blue messenger beast wearily looked down at the number of battleships under its wings, and it was home!
The blue war beast slowly flew down.
"Shenlong, they have news again!" Ouyang Wuyue shouted, letting the war beast stop on her slender shoulder.
Ouyang Wuyue touched the head of the war beast, scooped a bowl of water and fed it to the war beast, and then took off a thin sheepskin from the war beast's ankle ring, which had secret information written on it.
"How?" the second prince stood by the side of the boat, letting the sea breeze blow his long hair.
"Depending on the speed of the wind and the size of the waves, we met them four hours later. The worried look on Ouyang Wuyue's face was even stronger, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"Hmph!" The second prince's voice was a little cold, he turned around, and shouted: "Baiyi, Li Nan, you each lead fifteen warships to protect the left and right wings, I will be in the center, and when I give the order, the two of you will go around to the rear of Wanyan and encircle them." Ouyang, you support in the rear!" the herald waved the strategy and dismantled the chains that tied the battleship one by one.
Ouyang watched the second prince, the middle-aged scribe, and the short man leave the battleship, and forced himself to suppress his uneasiness, causing a group of sailors and warriors to take turns to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.
The sky was nearly dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sea was dyed red.
The warship of the second prince broke the waves first, and all the war beasts and archers on board were ready for battle, and a large area of warships on the sea in the distance was slowly approaching.
"Something is wrong!" exclaimed a strong man on the sail, his hands on his forehead and his eyes squinting at the enemy ships at sunset.
The second prince waved his hand, and the war beasts stood on the side of the ship with their respective war beasts, and the flying war beasts soared in the sky with their masters, and some water beasts dived underwater with their masters, occasionally emitting a few bubbles.
"The archers are ready, the war beasts are ready, the wings are scattered, and the whole army is accelerating!" the standard-bearer general's order came out.
The main battleship with more than a dozen battleships came to meet the impact of the setting sun, and the battleships on both wings scattered in all directions, and the sea was suddenly covered like a dark cloud.
The enemy ships floated on the surface of the sea as if they had not spotted the other warships on the sea.
"The archer is full of strings, light the fire!" the second prince raised his hands, hundreds of bows on the side of the boat were tightened, and the war beast master next to the archer ignited the black oil on the arrow.
The man on the sail aimed the arrow at the first small black dot, and his eyes widened sharply to see everything on the enemy ship.
"Wait! There's no one on board!' is not a man!" the man on the sail suddenly shouted, lowering his bow with his hand.
The second prince was shocked, but when he saw that Bai Yi and Li Nan, who had sailed to the rear of the enemy ship, also sent a signal that "the enemy ship is unmanned", his heart sank, and he hurriedly instructed all the archers to pull the angle of the rocket down and be on alert.
The second prince forced himself to compose, looked at the approaching enemy ship and thought about it, the canvas lowered by the enemy ship also had the big word "sky" written on it, it was indeed a force of ten thousand words, yes, but there was no trace of a fight on the ship, and it was obviously not attacked by sea beasts.
"Archers aim at the distant sea! The second prince gave the order according to his intuition, and the standard-bearer immediately summoned him.
"Haili!" The man on the sail was the first to notice the anomaly in the sea, and bent his bow and shot an arrow into the sea.
As an arrow shot into the water, the depths of the sea suddenly shook, and a black shadow jumped out of the sea in the blink of an eye, stretching its strange body in the air, followed by several black shadows jumping out!
"How could they hide their entire army in the water? Could it be that all they have are sea war beasts?" The second prince's eyes widened in horror, the enemy had already taken precautions!
"Archer attack the sea!" the second prince shouted, and countless rockets swarmed towards the black shadow that soared from the surface of the sea.
Countless black shadows flickered in the rockets flying in the air, easily stepping on the hull of the ship, and quickly climbing up with strange postures.
Only a few black shadows were shot by rockets and fell into the water.
The battleship is in great danger!
On the battleship, everyone's expressions became anxious.
Xia Yu was no exception, he realized that the second prince's men and horses were probably going to be unlucky.
"Defend on both wings and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
The side of the ship was full of enemies jumping out of the sea, full of fierce eyes, fierce bodies, these were not people at all, they were beasts!
With eerie smiles on their faces, the orcs weaved swiftly through their swords, covered in fish-scale shells, and some even opened their mouths to bite the ship's soldiers, leaving them all mutilated and blood dripping on the deck.
The sea was instantly dyed red, mixed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and they did not distinguish each other.
"Everyone!" Li Nan woke up the second prince with a loud shout, and the war beasts around him immediately pounced with his mind.
The sound of "thump" was constantly sounding, there was the impact of the bodies of both sides, and there was also the sound of severed limbs falling on the deck.
"Don't retreat!" A war beast master commanded his war beast to pounce on an enemy, but there were too many enemies around, the war beast whined, its owner was instantly torn to pieces, the war beast jumped over several enemies and threw the enemy to the ground, opened its mouth to bite the enemy's weak throat, but then it was torn apart by other enemies.
The battle was unprecedentedly tragic, several tall beastly enemies surrounded the second prince respectively, and Bai Yi and Li Nan were also intercepted by powerful enemies.
The war beast of the second prince let out a strange cry of anxiety, it was already powerless under the siege of several enemies, even if it was a nine-rank war beast.
The second prince cut down several enemies who tried to get close to him, and his face and clothes were covered with blood, both his own and those of his enemies.
"Not good!" The second prince felt the hull of the ship tilt, and the sound of the water "coo, coo" was particularly obvious in his ears blessed by spiritual power, these war beastmen actually scuttled the boat!
Not only the boat where the second prince was, but there were also ships around it that were crooked, and some of the warriors who fell into the water released sea beasts, and some were torn apart by the enemies who suddenly appeared before they could react. It is not yet known how many enemies lurk underwater.
"Don't panic, everyone! There are warriors of sea beasts going into the water, the battleship on the left is driving forward to rescue the soldiers who have fallen into the water, and the battleship on the right is concentrating all its combat strength to destroy the enemy on the shore!" Qingyue's female voice relieved everyone, the reserve army has finally arrived!
Ouyang Wuyue led the remaining warships to finally arrive, and the addition of this batch of combat power changed the situation again.
What's more, Ouyang Wuyue also has a nine-rank war beast! This war beast with a body like a tiger but a slender nose is Ouyang Wuyue's nine-rank war beast "Yue Yong"!
Yue Yong's thin nose raised into the air, and the white mist instantly enveloped a large area of the sea like a curling cloud. In the evening, the milky white smoke makes the already vague scenery seem to be covered with a light veil, and it is dreamy.
When Ouyang Wuyue arrived, all the soldiers looked for their closest comrades and formed a circular defensive circle, which was obviously a rehearsed formation.
Using the unique ability of Ouyang Wuyue's war beast, coupled with the slightly darkened sky, even if the beast enemy was physically strong, it was difficult to resist the simultaneous attacks of dozens of people, but there were still people who continued to die in battle.
The white smoke slowly cleared, and there were less than ten remaining warships, the others had sunk into the deep sea, and there were less than a hundred warriors left.
Xia Yu's battleship was at the rear, so it was lucky not to be scuttled. Although Xia Yu didn't know what the situation was outside, the constant screams and whining of the war beasts showed that the battle situation was fierce.
At some point, the sea breeze blew, and the faint smell of blood wafted far away.
Some of the fighters are reclining on the cabin, some are lying limply on the deck, and some are struggling to crawl out of the piles of corpses, which is the slaughterhouse.
It was completely dark, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the sails were swollen, and the ship at anchor was shaken a little by the wind.
There is a faint thunder in the distance, the wind is stronger, and it is about to rain!
"Why don't you see ten thousand words?" Ouyang Wuyue frowned for a long time, she was the only one who was not injured.
The two princes, Bai Yi, and Li Nan's war beasts have all been withdrawn, although the three of them have nine rank war beasts at the same time, but under the attack of this group of beast-like enemies, their war beasts have been greatly traumatized.
In fact, the second prince arranged for Ouyang Wuyue to support in the back so that the art of war beast fusion would not fall into her hands, after all, Ouyang Wuyue was not his direct cronies.
After seeing the powerful combat power of the warriors after the fusion, the second prince was even more determined to obtain the technique of war beast fusion, so he would not care about the lives of those warriors, as long as he could help him defeat the crown prince and obtain the throne, what if he became a beast!
But Wan Yan is nowhere to be found......
"Who is looking for the old man!" a harsh voice came from all directions like a bellows, and a large black shadow enveloped the dozen or so warships.
This voice shocked everyone, and Ouyang Wuyue was even more stunned, her nine-rank war beast was next to her, but strangely did not raise any alarm, could it be that Wan Yan captured another king-grade war beast......
Ouyang Wuyue shook his head, and immediately denied his idea, Wang Pin War Beast was hard to find!
"Over there!" a warrior pointed in horror ahead of him.
Everyone looked at the sound and suddenly couldn't help but inhale. A pair of lantern-sized turquoise eyes appeared diagonally behind the battleship, and the huge black shadow brought a solemn aura, overwhelming everyone.
"Click" A soft tentacle abruptly flung over from the sea, and the sturdy battleship was easily smashed open by that tentacle, and the sea water rose up in an instant.
The huge war beast under Wan Yan's feet made everyone frightened!
