Chapter 476: Erzumat
In the vast, bottomless endless sea, there are countless giant creatures, people generally call them sea monsters, such as the great fish monster Levilos in Northrend, the whale shark Verhai in the bottomless abyss, the monster Tesel near Theramore, the giant serpent Vilka in the Vaskil Sea, and the giant electric eel Gnatsher in Pandaria, these chilling super sea beasts are all known for their huge size and ferocious nature, but the most powerful of them is the king of the sea monsters, Erzumat.
This legendary octopus is said to be hundreds of yards long and can easily overturn the largest ships, and many speculate that it is the minion of the ancient god Enzos. In Diego's previous life, this demigod monster even captured the water elemental lord in charge of the deep sea, the tide hunter Nepturon. In the record of shipwrecks caused by sea monsters, this large octopus does not appear many times, but every time it appears, it will cause the voyagers to bring disaster.
In the folklore of the sea kingdom of Kurtiras, "In the unfathomable depths of the bottomless sea, Erzumat is sleeping, it has been asleep for centuries, and will continue to rest in the dark abyss until one day it is awakened by the followers of the ancient gods, and mortals and demigods will witness it rise from the bottom of the sea with a roar, spilling the horrors of Enzos across the Endless Sea!" ”
It is unknown if the Virgin is the first prey of Erzumat after its rebirth, and now, the people on this ship are suffering from the untold horrors it brings.
In a scream of terror, a huge wrist and foot, which was twice as thick as a human waist, whistled down like a whip with a low whistle. A few sailors who didn't have time to dodge were smashed into a pulp and stuck on the deck.
The wrists and feet circled around the hull for most of the time, and the suction cups on the wrists and feet were tightly attached to the hull, like blood-sucking leeches, tearing the hull tightly, and they could no longer get rid of it.
A sense of fear that rivaled Long Wei grabbed everyone's body and mind, and a piercing scream and cry erupted on the ship, especially the sailors of the Virgin. If it weren't for being trapped on this lonely ship, I believe many people would have already begun to flee. But even so, a few frightened sailors fled into the cabin, hiding in the corners, shivering, and never daring to show their heads again.
"Phew, coward!" In the midst of the chaos, Captain Aubrey brandished his scimitar and hissed angrily, "Cut it!" Otherwise, we're all doomed! ”
But what is desperate is that this thick wrist and foot is as hard as a rubber tire, and the sword is spread out with a thud, and even the sharp spear only pokes small holes in it, and it cannot pierce its skin at all.
To add insult to injury, just as people were busy dealing with the tentacle, more tentacles whipped down.
As if struck by a trebuchet, shards of broken wood flew everywhere from bow to stern, and everything on deck—masts, sail lines, stern rails, ......barrels of sand and asphalt—was shattered by the whipped of the tentacles.
But the sea monster attacked more than that, there was a dull thud from under the hull, like a drumstick hitting the drum surface, and it was clear that some of its tentacles went around the bottom of the ship, wrapping the whole ship in its arms.
Diego rose from the stern and wiped the blood from his forehead, cut from a broken piece of wood. Right in front of him, a huge tentacle was digging deep into the hull, tightening like a chainsaw.
He spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, then drew out the stone crow bayonet, loaded it on the musket, and then activated the power of the holy light in his body. The next moment, a dazzling holy light burst out violently from the bayonet, like a torch, attracting the attention of everyone on board.
Between despair and fear, the light, as it had done in every battle before it, lifted everyone's hearts.
"The Light is with us!" Out of trust in the saint, Huffman raised his sword and shouted.
"Glory to the Light!" Everyone at Stormwhip shouted feverishly! Even the sailors on the side were infected by this enthusiasm, and each of them vigorously waved their weapons and chopped at the huge tentacles.
"In the name of the Light, may the power of the Light shine upon me and judge the evil before me!" Amid the cheers, Diego recited the prayer aloud. At the behest of his prayers, the surging light condensed into a substantial blade of light at the tip of the bayonet, and the blade of light continued to expand and expand, as sharp as if it would be cut at the slightest glance.
In the next second, Diego waved his arm and slashed hard.
Like a red-hot blade cutting into the cooled grease, the tentacles that were as tough as rubber were powerless in front of the light blade, and a thin red thread appeared where the blade passed. After a few seconds, the foul-smelling blood spurted out like a fountain, and the tentacles snapped through the red line. The severed tentacles staggered like a gecko's severed tail, but Diego grabbed a spear next to it and nailed it to the deck—the tentacles seemed to lose their original tenacity after breaking off from Erzumat's body.
At that moment, a terrible howl came from underwater, and Erzumat was furious with the pain of severed tentacles, and it went crazy and tightened its other tentacles, trying to strangle the ship to pieces, swallowing every human on it who dared to hurt it, chewing it so hard that it crushed every drop of juice out of its body.
Death Strangulation, Erzumat's specialty, uses its giant tentacles to entangle its target, crushing every inch of its enemies' bones like a python strangler its prey, and then slowly savoring the deliciousness. This is not the first time it has done this, and in the dark depths of the sea, countless creatures have been killed by its trick, even whale sharks, which are known for their huge size.
In the bilge of the Maiden, Masrae pressed a board of acacia trees against a leaky crack and tried his best to inject the power of nature into the plank, and after a few seconds, a large amount of acacia gum secreted out of the plank, bonding the plank to the bulkhead.
He gasped for breath and cast a soothing spell on the neighing horse next to him, calming the knee-deep beast again.
At this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and even the keel made an unbearable creaking sound, as if it would break in two at any moment. With a soft snap, about five yards away from him, a crack two fingers wide unsurprisingly appeared on the bulkhead, and a large amount of seawater shot in like arrows.
"Shit, are we touching a tsunami?" Masrae cursed angrily, he lowered his head and spun around him, then looked up at the boatswain who was shaking the pump frantically not far away, "Give me a few more planks, mine is gone!" ”
The boatswain gave up and stopped shaking, and pushed the plank beside him down the water: "This is the last piece, and if there is another crack, we will die together!" ”
