Chapter Ninety-Five: Mermaid Reef

Under the expectant eyes of the mermaids, Aoliel didn't think about it for too long: "Okay Kathy, please get us out, the merfolk will remember your kindness, what should we do next?" ”

"You just don't make any noise." Casey took out a key and opened the door to the cell, and said to the mermaids who cried with joy when they saw the life: "Don't crowd, be careful under your feet, go one by one, the guards here are very strong, don't wake them up." ”

Casey pulled Aoliel cautiously past the "werewolf" lying on the ground and climbed up the ladder to the upper deck. The barefoot merfolk were very light on their feet, and they jumped over the sleeping "werewolves" one by one with the fear of the "werewolves" without making a sound.

When the merfolk had come out, Casey closed the hatch and lit a lantern and said to Aoliel: "Further up is the lower artillery deck, from where you can jump into the sea, but we need to pass through a sailor's cabin, where all the beasts are guarded, be careful not to alarm them, they can defeat us all, I'm right." ”

The dark light merfolk around them all gathered around Casey, and the fear of the "werewolf" made them dare not make a sound, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, come with me, don't huddle together, follow one by one." Casey opened a hatch and entered, and Aoliel lined up with the merfolk to follow.

The chamber was filled with sleeping beasts, including "werewolves" known to the mermaids and who had personally felt their might, giant bears the size of small boats, and leopards with wings on their backs. With a casual opening of their eyes, these beasts could spot the merfolk passing in front of them and tear them to pieces.

Some of the timid merfolk cramped their legs and stomachs in fear and couldn't move, and the brave merfolk next to them immediately grabbed their arms and followed the advancing team.

Aoliel, who had raised her heart to her throat, was finally able to breathe in a big gulp of air after passing through the sailor's cabin, and after calming her rapidly moving heart, she asked Cayce, "Does the owner of this battleship have many of these beast warriors?" ”

Casey counted the number of merfolk who came out. He replied, "Yes, there are many, I have heard the leaders of these beast warriors say that they have thirty thousand warriors willing to take command from the master of this battleship. ”

"Thirty thousand soldiers!" Apparently taken aback by the number, Aoliel asked, "The 'wolves' and 'bears' cannot defeat us who enter the sea, we are only afraid of the leopards that can fly, are there many of them?" ”

After confirming that the merfolk were all out, Casey continued to lead the way: "They are druids, and 'wolf', 'bear' and 'winged leopard' are their three transformation forms, and they can transform into suitable beasts at any time according to the combat environment. ”

Aoliel was surprised: "In other words, these 30,000 warriors can all be turned into winged leopards. How can there be such a race? ”

"Casey is right," a weak voice sounded, and a mermaid who could only walk with the help of her companions approached, and two horrible scars were clearly visible on her shoulders, "they can really transform, I was caught out of the sea by one of them who turned into a flying leopard, he can fly over the surface of the sea, unless we dive to the bottom of the sea, we can't escape their capture, but a long dive is very harmful to our human skin." We have to swim to the surface of the sea often to receive the sun's rays, when they are likely to be staring at us from the sky. ”

"This is definitely the natural predator of the merfolk," Aoliel did not know that the druid's winged leopard form did not have the ability to truly fly, and in her mind she was represented by a sky full of winged leopards flying all over the ocean. From time to time, a winged leopard swooped down to catch a mermaid from the sea, and she didn't dare to think about the rest, "We must return to the mermaid reef immediately and report the existence of the winged leopard to the patriarch." Then figure out how to evade the capture of the winged leopard together. ”

By this time, Casey had already brought the merfolk to the lower artillery deck, and she opened a gun door, and the cool salty sea breeze poured in to make the merfolk feel extremely comfortable: "Hurry up." Don't get caught by them again. ”

Aoliel told the merfolk to line up and jump out of the cannon door one by one, while she stayed by Casey's side and asked, "What happened when you didn't hear from your mother when she took you back to see your parents?" ”

The moonlight shone down the cannon door on Casey's face, and a crystal tear slipped down the corner of her eye: "A lot happened, anyway, I was sold and lost my freedom, and then I kept going between various masters. ”

Casey's expression was extremely sad, as if the painful past was beginning to torment her again.

Aoliel hugged Casey: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of the sad thing again, come with us, you will be the happiest mermaid." ”

"No," Casey earned Aoliel, "they will soon find you fleeing and start a pursuit, with my drag you can't swim fast, hurry back to the mermaid reef and hide, as long as you avoid this period of time, they won't catch you and will naturally leave." ”

"But what if they know you let us go?"

"Don't worry about me, I have my own way," Casey urged, shouting from the bottom of the ship, apparently the mermaid's escape had been discovered, and Casey immediately retracted as soon as he pushed Aoliel out of the cannon and waved at the figure that had fallen into the sea.

At this time, the lights turned on quickly on the "Taishan", and the shouting became louder and louder. Aoliel gathered the escaped merfolk around, and after glancing at the battleship with concern for Casey, he quickly swam towards the mermaid reef with the merfolk in the direction of the mermaid reef.

On the bridge of the "Taishan", Gangzi caught a trace of the mermaid's departure: "Through the time of the mermaid's rescue arrival during the day, we can judge that the mermaid reef is not too far away from us, and these mermaids must have fled in a panic to return to the mermaid reef in a straight line to report the information they have obtained, and we just need to follow the direction they left." ”

Liang Hong, who was personally at the helm, was already turning to the "Taishan": "That's right, these merfolk will definitely not think about anything else after being frightened and threatened, they will return to the clan as soon as possible according to their instincts. ”

Gangzi smiled: "It was Casey's performance that aroused the fear of these mermaids. ”

Casey didn't look happy at all, she looked in the direction the merfolk left and said, "Why do I suddenly feel so bad?" ”

Gangzi's smile stopped in surprise, and he looked at Casey incredulously. After discovering that Casey's mood was really low, he said: "Mermaids are wantonly killing passing ships in this sea, although human beings dare not step into this sea at will due to unknown dangers, but there is no shortage of adventurous navigators and people who are as lucky as you in this world, sooner or later the secrets of mermaids will be solved and brought to the public's eyes, a legendary creature, a race full of beautiful women, what is their final fate?" I think you know better than I know what you've been through so much. You should know that falling into my hands is the best ending for the merfolk clan. ”

After hearing this, Casey let out a long breath, and then gave Gangzi a hug and a fragrant kiss and said coquettishly: "You are very good at comforting people." My lord, my lord, who has a colored heart but no colored guts, the merfolk will live a very pleasant life. ”

Brother's fiery red heart shining in the sun is actually despised, and it seems that Brother has to have a little pleasant thing happen to Casey to express Brother's fat gall and strong kidney function.

But looking at Casey's already hungry look, Gangzi still flinched, "If the other party is Elizabeth, my brother will be on it, and that simple and exquisite MM will call my brother responsible afterwards at most, and my brother will give the second lady and the third lady the position casually and send it away." But now in front of her is Casey, the performance level of the Oscar-winning actress, and the infrared dog eyes can't see what she is thinking at all, in case this woman plucks her brother's hair as an arrow. In Anne, Liang Hongke couldn't suppress her. So you have to endure, think about the heroes who were planted in the belly of women and the emperors who lost the country because of women, the color word is a knife, and my brother must tighten his belt. When the day makes Casey completely return to his heart, it's not too late for my brother to start eating, and it is said that after Casey becomes a mermaid. How should I get it in the water? …… Brother is already looking forward to it. ”

For Casey**'s eyes, Gangzi pretended not to see it, and said to Rasph beside him: "You go to the bow of the boat, the smell of so many mermaids acting together should not dissipate in a short time, especially the mermaid who was scratched by you, the smell of blood is stronger, so that we can find the location of the mermaid reef more accurately." ”

Realizing that he had been ignored like this, Casey stomped his feet angrily and returned to his room, and Gangzi continued to watch the "Tarzan" sail on the bridge as he pretended not to see it.

As the night passed, the sun shone again on the sea. The Tarzan marched in yellow sunlight, the seagulls that had risen early to feed skimmed over the top of the mast, and the sailors who woke up from their sleep began their day's work with the sea water washing the deck.

Rasf stood firmly at the bow of the "Tarzan", and the faint smell mixed with the sea breeze told him that the battleship was traveling in the right direction, and that the merfolk had just passed by.

As the smell of merfolk grew, Rasf raised his binoculars to search the surface of the sea, and a large exposed reef soon appeared in his sight.

"Report to my lord, I saw a tail burrowed into the water when I found Mermaid Reef, and it seems that they also noticed our arrival."

Hearing the shout of Rusph at the bow of the ship, Gangzi also saw the conspicuous reef from the telescope: "Come on, call Casey up to confirm." He said to Liang Hong beside him: "I guess we should find the right place and order the battleship to fight." ”

However, Liang Hong transferred the captaincy position to Gangzi: "The battle against the mermaid clan should be under your command, my captain, give the order!" ”

Becoming the captain of the "Taishan", Gangzi's skills immediately refreshed the entire battleship, and under the effect of "encouragement", the sailors who had just gotten up and were a little lazy immediately became energetic, and they rushed to their respective positions with a high number.

"The Tarzan is moving forward at full speed, the crews are in position, boatswain, tell your men to prepare their nets, and Rasph tells the druids to prepare at the edge of the ship, to show your strength, and to show the merfolk how strong you are. Elizabeth, tell the elven mages to release their magic, and hope that the magic you have researched will be useful for the mermaid's mental attacks. ”

Gangzi, who had entered the captain's position, gave a loud order, and all the sailors on the three-tier artillery deck were in place; The druids all boarded the edge of the ship and transformed into winged leopards, their outstretched wings and sharp claws to show off their flying ability and prowess to the merfolk; The boatswain and his men dragged the nets out of the cabin, ready to be thrown out into the sea when they were ordered. Elizabeth chanted the incantation with the elven magicians, and everyone seemed to feel a cool breath penetrate their nostrils, and their whole minds instantly cleared up.

The Tarzan adjusted its direction slightly, and the sails were full of sails and rushed towards the mermaid reef, and Gangzi had already seen the frightened mermaid scurrying around through the telescope.

Suddenly, a scream came. Gangzi felt a burst of nausea, I don't know if it was the magic of the elf magician that worked, he quickly returned to normal, and after seeing that Liang Hong, who was driving the boat, also quickly recovered without abnormal performance, Gangzi shouted: "Concentrate your attention, as long as we are prepared, the mermaid's spiritual attack will not cause us much damage." The starboard gun prepares grapeshot, and we have to give the mermaid a little bit of power; Rasph! When you find a mermaid to catch, you are free to attack; Boatswain, cast the nets. Go get the cage ready. ”

The mermaid's spiritual attack angered Gangzi, and the attack system possessed by the "Taishan" quickly worked down, and Liang Hong tilted the captain to the left to approach the mermaid reef, revealing the starboard side of the battleship.

Just as the boatswain threw the trawl from the stern, the signal that the artillery crews were ready was heard,

"Target Mermaid Reef, fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Inspire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Continue grapeball preparations."

Successive shelling from both sides, spraying scattered bombs like rain on Mermaid Reef. Grapeshells have no accuracy, they just rely on the number of people to kill the human body. The unprotected mermaid shot was helpless, and the water near the mermaid reef soon became cloudy.

The artillery crew was prepared again, and Gangzi did not continue to order the shelling, he observed through the binoculars the mermaid's reaction to this attack.

That's when the druids got into action. The bombardment of "Tarzan" frightened the mermaids, especially the sound of the sinking cannons spreading through the water, which made the mermaids very uncomfortable, and they all floated from the bottom of the water to avoid the constant echoes. However, as soon as they approached the water, a dark shadow flew down from the sky. Sharp claws pierced into their skin, and the force of them pulled them out of the water.

The entire surface of the sea was filled with gliding winged leopards, flying through the air at high speed. Each sinking catches a mermaid from the sea. They hooked the merfolk's body with their hind paws, and snatched the merfolk's weapons with their front paws, but the merfolk's weak physical strength could not compete with the druids, and they were easily disarmed and knocked unconscious.

The "Tarzan" aimed its starboard gun at the reef and sailed around. Casey had reached the bridge, and the shape of the reef was the same as she remembered from previous years, and the reef had been determined to be mermaid reef.

The first druids had climbed through the walls of their ships to the open deck, still in their winged leopard form, and after throwing their catch of merfolk onto the deck, they jumped down to catch merfolk and continued to catch them. The sailors who had been prepared for a long time swarmed up in the face of the captured mermaid, and before the mermaid could wake up, he threw his arms into the cage that had been prepared long ago.

The druids' capture made the merfolk feel the danger of the upper water, and after the water quieted down, they dived again, and the druids' harvest became smaller and smaller, until they were gone, and they had to return to the "Tarzan".

"Starboard guns on the mermaid reef and fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Inspire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Dense shells slammed into the Mermaid Reef again, and the bright red blood had already stained the sea around the reef red. But the merfolk were afraid of the druids who had turned into winged leopards, and the echoes of the cannons they endured at the bottom of the sea simply did not float.

"Rasph, throw a powder keg into the sea near Mermaid Reef, the explosion on the bottom of the sea is enough to lift up all the merfolk near Mermaid Reef. Casey, you go up to the Mermaid Reef in a dinghy and tell them that we have trawled the entire area around the Mermaid Reef and that they can't get out, and that if they plan to test my patience by diving to the bottom of the sea, I will turn the whole bottom of the sea up with gunpowder. ”

The Blacksail handed Rasf a powder keg with a waterproof extended fuse lit, and Rasf took the form of a winged leopard and slid towards the mermaid reef with his claws. When he reached a distance where he could safely return to the Tarzan, he dropped a powder keg into the sea below, and then flew back towards the Tarzan with speed and air currents.

Before he could fly far, a deep voice came from the bottom of the sea, and then a wave spread rapidly, and a large amount of seawater was sprayed up to form a column of water more than thirty meters high.

Soon some mermaids and various fish bodies floated up, and those who were close to the center of the explosion were directly shocked to death, and those who were a little farther away only fainted, and many more merfolk could not bear the shock wave caused by the explosion sweeping back and forth on the bottom of the sea and swimming to the upper surface. The druids, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped off the "Tarzan" one after another, turned into winged leopards and glided against the sea, and began another feast.

A dinghy was lowered on the Tarzan and carried Casey towards the Mermaid Reef, and above her were the druids who were going to and from the Tarzan, the crying merfolk around her, and the frightened sea creatures that kept jumping from the water. But Casey didn't receive the slightest impact, she stood at the bow of the boat, waited for the boat to land on the mermaid reef, and stepped on the reef with the lofty attitude of a victor: "I am the messenger of the Viscount Albatross of the Han Empire, and the leader of the mermaids alive, come out to see me!" ”

"Betrayer Kathy, die!" A merfolk leapt high in the sea and threw her harpoon at Casey. (To be continued......)
