Chapter 2179: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (17)

At the mention of [Desert Ship], there were many adventurers present, and perhaps many of them did not believe in the existence of such an illusory ship at all, let alone that Prince Said had in his hands that strange and mysterious power in his hands.

After all, it was just an ethereal thing like a strange story, and most people in the world had never seen this phantom sand ship, even these adventurers who had experienced many winds and waves in their lives, they might not have seen it. Normally, only sand boats that travel through the sand sea can occasionally catch a glimpse of the [Golden Ship ------Desert Ship] sneaking through the sand sea if you are extremely lucky. And because the ship was originally a sand ship with a unique shape painted in gold, the merchants in the sand sea gradually believed that the ship was a treasure ship full of gold and jewels.

Bediwell, who knew what was going on, of course understood that it was just a rumor, and that there was no treasure on the ship. Although his Dawn is indeed full of "treasures" ------ countless technological legacies of the ancient gods and people.

"I know you're wondering and don't believe in the authenticity of [the Golden Ship ------ the Ship of the Desert]. After Prince Said had finished speaking, the butler beside him then explained, "Look at this side, then. ＂

The butler pressed a button on the wall behind him.

Something magical happened.

The wall behind Prince Said and his butler suddenly opened, revealing a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. On the other side of the glass window, a huge space, an underground machinery warehouse that is impossible to visualize.

Bediwell thought that this underground combat conference room was already a large area underground, but he didn't expect that there was a larger area under Cairo, which was used as a warehouse to store huge ships.

No, it's not so much a warehouse as an underground dock. In the middle of that huge dock, there happened to be a large ship moored.

Oh, the shape of that ship, Bediville couldn't have been more familiar. Isn't that the ship his Dawn?

But wait, it's certainly not Aurora. The current Aurora has long been painted with a stealth livery developed by Great Britain, and has been transformed into a silver sand ship. Although the sand ship in front of Bediwell was similar in appearance to the Aurora, its livery was pale gold, or champagne gold.

This is...... A golden ship, a ship of the desert?

I always felt that its color was a little different from the unpainted Dawn, its gold was not the golden yellow after the gold dissolved, but the faded low-key champagne gold. Regardless, in terms of silhouette and construction, it does look very similar to the Dawn of Bedeville.

"Hmph...... The werewolf youth snorted, not knowing how to deal with it for a while. But he didn't show any particular surprise, because the [Ship of the Desert] was a [Armed Transport] left over from the ancient gods and people, and it shouldn't have been one in the first place. There are its brother ships in the world, and it is no matter why.

"Look, ladies and gentlemen," said the butler, taking advantage of the moment's moment, while everyone was still in a daze, "this is our proud ship of gold------ [Pequod]"

While everyone was stunned, the champagne-gold sand boat suddenly floated into the air, turning its bow to think about the movement of Prince Said and the others' battle room.

"Hey, hey, it's coming?!" "Stop it!" "It's going to be crushed!!" Seeing that the Desert Ship was about to crash over, and that a ship of such tonnage could instantly crush everyone in this room into flesh when it crashed into a small combat conference room, many adventurers began to exclaim.

And Prince Said seemed to do this on purpose, he was calmly looking at everyone on the field, and looking for those adventurers who were just as calm as him.

His eyes fell on Bediwell the Werewolf, Nate the Musketeer, and Eric the Strategist.

"Isn't that your ship. At this time, Eric couldn't help but ask Bediwell in a low voice, his brother Lawrence often boarded Bediwell's ship, so he also knew something.

"Huh, your ship?" The cyborg, who was very sensitive and was also standing not far from Bediwell, heard Eric asking Bediwell, and also the werewolf youth.

"It's not my ship, you have mistaken the ship. Bediwell denied it, "But what the hell is that thing trying to do?"

"Bump into it, of course. Eric said calmly.

"Then why don't you run away and not be afraid of death?" asked Bediwell, jokingly.

"Since it can do space stealth------," replied Strategist Eric, and as he said this, part of the bow of the ship was so close to the room that it was about to collide.

However, it did not collide, and it should be said that the ship came through the wall like a ghost. The small part of the deck of the Golden Ship Pegord, which protruded from what appeared to be a bridge, went straight through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the room and into the room.

And that part opened a door, and someone came out of it.

It was a burly middle-aged man in a regular naval uniform. And this man is still one-legged. His missing left leg was propped up with a steel prosthetic, which made the middle-aged man rattle heavy metal with every step as he stepped out of the door.

"Let me introduce you: this is the captain of the Golden Ship Pigod, Captain Ark. Prince Said Said.

"Hmm. Captain Ark nodded indifferently at the group.

The adventurers present were already silent with astonishment when they saw his ship penetrate the room. In Captain Ark's eyes, this group of adventurers is probably no different from a group of hillbillies who are making a fuss over a trivial matter.

At this time, Captain Ark completely set his eyes on the werewolf young Bediwell. More accurately, to set his gaze on a small golden earring with Bedivel's pointed wolf ears. The earrings weren't earrings at all, but rather a communicator, a transformation of the Scarab Golem inside the Aurora. The communicator is still in operation, and can communicate with Eve, the artificial intelligence navigation system within the Aurora------ where the signal may not be able to penetrate, resulting in no communication.

"Interesting. Captain Ark suddenly snorted, "It's really fateful (Kama)." ＂

"What?" Bediwell replied, as if realizing something.

Captain Ark did not reply, but looked away, and continued to wait silently for Prince Said or his butler to explain.

"As you can see, the Pigod Sand Ship is indeed equipped with [Subspace Subsea Capability] to chase the wounded and escaped desert whale Moby Dick into its lair deep in the sandy sea. When we discovered its lair, it was the Pigod who was responsible for the deadly attack. ＂

The butler continued to operate the notebook on the table, and another slide was reflected on the holographic screen in mid-air.

Reflected on the screen is a giant harpoon that is comparable to a giant cannonball. Judging from the slides, it was almost one-third the size of the Pigod, which was actually a medium-sized sand ship, with a hull of three hundred feet long.

"In the final phase of the operation, all the adventurers involved in the battle moved the undestroyed destroyer to assemble inside the Pigod. The giant [Red Moon Steel Harpoon] for the final battle will be launched by the Pecod. And it will tear Moby Dick's chest apart, shatter the heart of the almost immortal demon god. The butler added, "Then, according to the calculations, the true face of Moby Dick------ or rather, its core ------ will be revealed." This is the perfect time for adventurers to slay Moby Dick, the desert whale. ＂

At this time, Eric, the strategist, raised his hand and asked, "What does its core look like?"

"Nobody knows, because no one has ever seen it. The butler said, "No one has ever used a weapon of such great power to inflict such a heavy blow on Moby Dick." All of this is just the result of our calculations based on the current known research data. ＂

"Is it just a guess...... Eric's face sank.

"It's just speculation, but it's not far from the truth. The butler replied, "A creature as large as Moby Dick must have a core full of pure magic in its own body, and it will work day and night to generate a biological force field that sustains their size. Without this force field to sustain their bodies, the sheer mass of its body would first break its lumbar vertebrae, then crush its internal organs, and finally tear its flesh apart. ＂

"In other words, if you destroy that core------"

"Moby Dick will fall apart on its own. Yes. The butler replied in an almost 100 percent affirmative tone.

Bediville seems to have heard something similar a long time ago. On Earth, there is a limit to the size of an organism that can survive due to the influence of gravity.

Whales in the sea are able to survive in the sea like that because the sea supports most of their body weight.

Moby Dick, of course, does not live in the sea, it runs rampant in the Sahara Sand Sea. It seemed natural for the sand to support its weight, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be the same thing, for Bediwell had seen Moby Dick diving through the sea of glass, and Moby Dick was more like he had penetrated the solids of the sea of glass, rather than relying on the solids to hold up his ridiculously large flesh.

In other words, the monster was so large that it didn't rely on sand or glass to support its exaggerated weight in the first place. It has survived to this day thanks to its own biological force field------ in short, its own magic.

Shattering the magical core of its body and the monster would surely die------ which seemed to be a pretty solid plan.
