Chapter Ninety-Six: The Hope Advances
Approaching, approaching, approaching, the first wave of manatees rushed closer to the Hope and there was still a distance of about five miles.
"Fire!"
The lieutenant in the captain's room roared violently, and suddenly the one hundred and sixty exposed ballistas roared, and one hundred and sixty one-meter-long, oval-shaped egg-shaped white balls of light erupted from the mouth of the ballista, and in these balls of light were covered with mines that had been increased by ten times their power.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The speed of the white ball of light cannonball was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the cannonball fell into the team of the one-horned manatee.
A huge cloud of water mushrooms with a diameter of several tens of meters rose from the sea, and a violent explosion came from the front, as if the sky was falling apart, and a rumbling sound echoed in mid-air.
Hundreds of one-horned manatees that were unfortunate enough to fall below the explosion point were reduced to ashes, and the bodies of the thousands of heads instantly disintegrated and turned into a pile of meat scraps. The remaining one-horned manatees covered in cannons were also covered in broken skin, as if they had been skinned, and sank directly from the sea...... Ice blades, bones, and rotten flesh flew all over the sea, and a single salvo of one-horned manatees was blown to pieces.
The artillery was alive, tearing a kilometer through the one-horned manatees that rushed over and pressed a piece of black.
On the Hope, all the crew members looked at the front in a daze, especially the gunners, and the corners of their mouths drooped.
Seeing that the torn passage was blocked by countless one-horned manatees, the artillery captain who came back to his senses roared wildly: "Aim straight ahead, divide the front and back into three batches, don't calculate the angle and azimuth difference for me, and smash the shells to the front for me." Don't you see so many targets? If you're all still in the air, you're going to jump into the sea for me...... Launch, launch, launch...... Tear me a way, hahahaha, it's fucking fun. ”
This guy who had served as an artillery captain on other ships was probably the first time he had commanded so many powerful Tier 10 ballistas, and it was also the first time that he had bombarded so uncountable scrolls. He was now trembling with excitement, and his face was flushed with excitement.
The sound of artillery became more intense, and wave after wave fell, and countless one-horned manatees were blown into the sky.
However, these one-horned manatees didn't seem to know what fear was, and they still followed one after another, endlessly fluttering their huge bodies, frantically pounce and pounce again.
The sound of artillery fire continued, and waves of blood rose from the sea, which was the blood of a dead one-horned manatee.
The Hope continued to speed and rushed straight into the herd of one-horned manatees, forward, forward, and forward from the bloody path that had been blasted by the artillery.
However, the number of one-horned manatees was too much, and even if there were one hundred and sixty level ten magic ballistae, firing in three batches without stopping, they still couldn't repel these manatees.
Braving the artillery fire, those enraged one-horned manatees rushed over frantically, and some even dragged their bleeding and mutilated bodies, with the smell of blood, and let out bursts of strange screams like cow barks, roaring and pounced, and slammed the long horns above their heads against the Hope.
One or two, it didn't change the outer shield of the Hope, but when the number of one-horned manatees approaching the battleship increased, one after another one-horned manatees came out of the wind and waves, jumped out of the water like crazy, and slammed the horns on their heads against the battleship.
The shields of the Hope's shell finally began to tremble, and there was a tendency to slowly weaken.
"Space four, separate one gun, and bombard me underneath the ship."
The artillery captain, who was obviously an experienced fellow, did not show any panic in this situation, and calmly gave one order after another.
"There must be a sea demon lord inside, find it out and defeat it, otherwise the battleship will be damaged if it goes on like this."
Dongfang Haotian was also a little surprised that the Hope could have such a strong attack power, but he was relieved when he thought about it. Relatively speaking, the size of the Hope is indeed a little less, but less is less, it is much more than ordinary magic warships, and it is too easy to be rich, and it is still equipped with tenth-level magic ballistas, and the power is not weak.
"Don't worry, it's almost rushed out, it's just a pity that the corpses of these monsters are gone, if you can pull them all back, the leather on their bodies is the most suitable for making scrolls!"
Seeing the power of the ballista, it was too easy to calm down, and he didn't feel sorry for the magic scrolls consumed, but instead made a regretful sound at the corpses of those one-horned manatees.
To make the Warcraft skin of the empty scroll, you need to divide the smoothest and smoothest part of the Warcraft skin from the complete and large pieces of Warcraft skin.
In the inner skin peeled off from the body of the demonic beast on land, because of its own physical characteristics or living in various bad environments all year round, there are very few desirable parts in the whole skin. The Sea Monsters are different, the environmental factors they are in make the inner skin of most Sea Monsters very flat and smooth, and the impurities inside are also scarce, which is the most suitable for making scrolls.
It's just that most of the low-level demonic beasts in the offshore area of the mainland are not of much value, and no one has set foot in the deep-sea area, so the price of these high-level sea demonic beast skins has always been high. The Magic Guild even offered an extremely high price to collect these Sea Demon Beast skins.
Now in the face of so many fourth-order sea demon beast corpses, it is inevitable that they will be too tempting!
"Hahaha, brother, you really plucked the feathers of geese, now we have the Hope Number, as long as we have time, these things are not as many as you want."
Hearing Tai Yi's words, Dongfang Haotian said with a smile, his eyes looked at Tai Yi teasingly.
Taiyi was embarrassed to laugh and said, "Just casually, there are better goods waiting for us than these things ahead, how can I spend time and effort doing this...... This open sea, but there are good things everywhere, it depends on whether you dare to come and get it! ”
Staring at the sea in front of me, it was too easy to suddenly feel something.
He could feel a faint rush of energy from the bottom of the sea, filtering through the fleet. The concealment of this kind of energy is extremely strong, if it weren't for Taiyi, a reincarnation guy who is very sensitive to spiritual power, he really wouldn't be able to detect it.
And what is even more surprising is that it does not seem to be a human being who emitted this energy.
Thinking of something, Taiyi pointed ahead, turned back to Dongfang Haotian and smiled: "It seems that we don't need to look for it, this friend seems to be unable to bear the loneliness, and now he has run out...... Fourth-order Demon Beast Lord, no wonder they can gather so many one-horned manatees here. ”
"Hehe, this is good, don't worry about the ship being damaged," Dongfang Haotian said, finding a direction and pulling the illusion in.
Sure enough, at the very back of these one-horned manatees, an even larger, longer-horned manatee appeared in the vision. Looming, like a sea whale, sinking and floating, each time it drives a wave to rise!
Compared with the fourth-order Warcraft Lord, the gap in strength and power between the fourth-order Warcraft Lords is not half a point.
According to the division of human ranks, the Warcraft Commander is the leader of a thousand-person mercenary group, while the Warcraft Lord is the leader of a 10,000-person mercenary group, and the two cannot be compared at all.
On land, if you want to take down such a guy without launching several legions of the same rank as it, you don't even think about it.
"One hundred and sixty level 10 magic ballistas are bombarded, and you can't die if you don't want to......" Tai Yi nestled in his chair, dragging his chin and looking at the looming Sea Demon Beast Lord in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "The bombardment monster doesn't give experience, and doesn't drop props, otherwise, this leader has a high chance of falling out of a purple gold equipment!" ”
Under the command of Dongfang Haotian, the battleship separated dozens of guns, adjusted the angle and direction, aimed at the lord, and blasted out in unison.
"You're not dead yet?"
After a roar, Dongfang Haotian watched the blood of the stump floating in the distance a few times, and the one-horned manatee lord with a head of more than thirty meters was thriving with blood again. After a shrill wail, it swam miles away from the Hope, pushing the sea up and down.
Then another tumble was made, and it immediately disappeared from the sea.
By the time it appeared the next time, it had already appeared on the sea more than ten miles away from the Hope, fluttering and continuing to swim out.
"This guy is a thief!"
Seeing the one-horned manatees around the ship receding like a tide, Dongfang Haotian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, these guys came from a distance and didn't concentrate under the battleship. ”
"Attack from below?" Tai Yi shook his head, pointed to the bottom of his body, and said confidently: "The bottom layer of the Hope has been specially thickened more than ten times, and I am not afraid that they will hit from below." What's more, at the speed of our hope, if it hits from below, the force will not be able to send out, and it will not cause any major damage. ”
"That's the best!"
Dongfang Haotian was in a good mood and laughed.
…… In the next half month, except for a few tsunamis, I never encountered a sea monster herd, and the driving was relatively smooth.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
Dongfang Haotian stood on a flat deck at the bow of the ship, raised his eyes and looked at the calm sea, and then turned back to Tai Yi, who had been holding a viewing mirror and kept looking ahead, and asked, "Is the chart drawing wrong?" We've been looking around for three days, why don't we go any further? ”
Putting down the viewing mirror, Taiyi shook his head: "I won't be mistaken, it should be in this area, let's look for it again." ”
It's been three days, and he still hasn't been able to find that Absolute Demon Island, Taiyi also began to drum in his heart at this time, and he wondered if it was the hope of this life, which was different from his previous life? If that's the case, it's really bad.
In this way, the Hope stayed in the nearby waters for another two days, but still failed to find the Absolute Demon Island, and Taiyi's heart slowly sank, and his expression became ugly.
But just as he agreed, he continued to walk a little further.
"Island! Island! Captain, islands. I saw it, I saw it, captain, there are islands ahead......"
