Chapter 577: The Ship Sinks (I)

Just as Ax was about to turn around and go back, and before he could take a few steps, a huge wave hit and slapped the entire boat into the air, giving Ax a free experience of the feeling of a spaceship. Ax looked back at the first mate and found that the tall, swarthy man had been lying on the ground and had not gotten up for a long time.

"It seems that the facts are not as easy to solve as you say." Aix said with a smile.

"Looks like yes, we might need your help." The first mate finally got up from the deck, and he didn't care about the sewage on his body, and said to Aix.

"I'd be happy to help, but you'd better figure out the origin of this storm, I don't think Hammerstone will encounter a storm of this magnitude not long after it has been gone, and this kind of thing happens very often." Ax glanced at the sea in the distance, and always felt that there was a hidden murderous intention.

"My lord, it is true that the Sea of Conquerors often encounters storms, but this is the first time I have encountered such a strong storm, and fortunately our ship is large enough, if it were an ordinary small ship, it would have been shattered a long time ago." The first mate said, grabbing the cable.

"There is something in the sea, everyone should not go near the fence." Suddenly, Aix shouted at everyone, and at the same time, the man had already rushed to the ship's main mast, and the short knife had appeared in his hand, ready to defend at any time.

At the same time as Ax reached the mainmast, a huge black shadow stretched out from the sea, obscuring the sky and the sun, and drew towards the mainmast, apparently trying to destroy the ship's power system. And Aix has already prepared, at the same time as the black shadow flies, the short knife with a huge sword, slashing at the black shadow, no matter what the black shadow is, it must not be allowed to destroy the main mast, otherwise, their next voyage can only go with the flow, when they arrive at the Shadow Island, it is estimated that it is already the year of the monkey.

Although Ax was well prepared, he still underestimated the strength of the other party, although Aix's knife slashed into the black shadow, however, Aix's whole person was also whipped away by a huge force, and directly crashed into the cabin, of course, Ax did not walk through the door this time, but smashed through several layers of wooden planks and smashed it directly into it.

"My lord, how are you?" The first mate ran over quickly, saw Ax lying in a pile of planks, immediately swept the planks away, and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, just a few shocks, no big deal." Ax helped the first mate to his feet, wiped the blood from his mouth and said.

"What's that, you know?" Aix asked the first mate, because although he didn't see the true face of the other party just now, he could still judge what should be the tentacles of something, and a person like the first mate who has been sailing in this sea area all year round may know what it is.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't see clearly, although the Sea of the Conquerors is dangerous, but this route was specially opened up to transport goods, and there has never been a sea monster, so I don't remember what it is, but it looks like it should be a sea snake or an octopus sea monster."

"No, probably not, because that knife just now felt like it was cut on a rock, not flesh at all." After Ax finished speaking, he glanced at his short knife, there was no blood on it, and Ax could be sure that the knife he had just cut into.

"Are there any bone-armored sea monsters around here, and they're very flexible." Aix asked the first mate, but unfortunately, the first mate had never even heard of it, and he didn't have any impression at all.

Just as Ax was wondering, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder in the sky, and then several bolts of lightning slashed down at the boat, as if a lightning rod had been installed on the ship.

The huge lightning bolt struck directly on the mainmast, and the huge mainmast directly ignited a raging fire, even if it was raining heavily at this time, it could not be extinguished for a while. This mainmast was obviously scrapped, so that Aix's interception just now was all in vain, and the mainmast was not saved in the end.

"What now, if the ship doesn't have the mainmast, the ship can't sail normally, we must get out of this storm area now." Aix asked, turning to the first mate. The area was distinctly strange, as if there were big hands in the darkness controlling it all. Aix didn't believe that any lightning bolt would be boring enough to chop a piece of wood, and that it was so accurate that when a coincidence was too much of a coincidence, it was no longer a coincidence.

"There is no problem with sailing, we still have oars to assist in navigation, but that is to evade the enemy's contingency measures, we are just an ordinary cargo ship, not a warship." The first mate explained.

"Then go and activate your emergency system, the current situation is much more dangerous than encountering the enemy." Aix said undoubtedly, directly taking over the command of the ship.

As soon as Aix's words fell, a black shadow struck again, and this time everyone was prepared, the moment the black shadow was discovered, the magic array on the ship was immediately activated, and an energy umbrella was held up above the ship, just blocking the black shadow.

Rumble~

The black shadow collided with the energy umbrella, and the deck of the boat was almost submerged into the sea, but in the end, the energy umbrella successfully resisted the black shadow, and Aix also saw the true face of the black shadow, which was not the tentacles of a sea snake or an octopus, but a pitch-black chain, and glowed black.

"It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year, and a chain has come to me for trouble." Ax cursed secretly, wondering if the chain had become a sperm.

Finally, the ship started again, it should be the first mate who started the so-called emergency system, the speed of the ship became significantly faster, and the first mate was gloomy, the cost of starting the emergency system was obviously very large, even if they could go back safely, this batch of goods was in vain, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to keep the capital.

"Don't worry about your goods now, that monster shouldn't have left yet, let everyone be ready to defend, by the way, how many times can that energy umbrella be opened?"

"Four times, I brought a total of five times of energy this time, and now I can turn it on four times." The first mate said worriedly. He thought that having Hammerstone on the ship would ensure the safety of the way, so he did his best to load the goods, so he caused the lack of energy to carry, but no one thought that Hammerstone would leave, and just after Hammerstone left, he was attacked. Now, the first mate has the heart to die, and if he can, he would rather earn less and drive the emergency power system all the way back.
