Chapter 72: Mertotis the Sea Dragon
"Other sounds?" Arya blinked, looking at the young paladin in front of her with doubt.
"Hmm...... I should have heard it right. Finn held his breath and squinted his eyes, then nodded as if confirming something.
Just now, with his excellent 17-point perception attribute, Fein faintly caught a distinctive sound in the night outside the cabin with his ears. He felt that the sound was not the roar of ballistas, nor the muffled sound of barrage bombardment on the deck, but the roar of a creature through a roar.
Suddenly, the corridor in the cabin tore like a carpet that had been pulled away without warning, and everyone who was standing in the corridor for refuge suddenly felt their feet shake, and their body balance tilted in the direction of the staircase, and then the group of people rolled down the inclined corridor passage to the front of the stairs leading to the deck with Lilith, who was lying on the ground.
"Damn, what just happened?"
The back of Raymond's head was knocked to the edge of the staircase. The future Sword Saint young man covered his head with one hand and complained, and when he was about to get up, he finally heard a roar that looked like a giant dragon roaring, just like Fynn a few seconds ago.
When Raymond heard this voice clearly, Finn, Arya, and Arroyo also heard it, and the expressions on their faces immediately became richer.
"Fein...... That's what you just said? Arya's face turned white, then she sat up with one hand on the ground, looking at Fein with a little dazed eyes.
"I heard that voice just now." Arroyo also took over to express his surprise, "My lord, is that what you just said?" β
"Probably... bar. When he heard this roar again, Finn's face was obviously not very good-looking, as if he had developed a mood called fear because he thought of something terrible.
In the middle of the night, Finn looked up at the staircase leading to the deck, then rose from the ground, and then leaned down and climbed up the staircase towards the door of the cabin.
The young paladin came to the door of the cabin staircase, reached out and clasped the door frame with one hand, and cautiously poked his head out, finding that the barrage outside had stopped.
And thenβ
"Roaring ββ!"
For the third time, the heart-pounding roar broke through the soundproof layer of the rain curtain and reached Finn's ears. Finn frowned uncomfortably, waited for the terrifying roar to taper a little, and then cast his gaze in the direction from which the sound came, and then saw a large figure on the sea between the three pirate ships and him.
That figure is ......
"The Sea Dragon... Metotis?! The young paladin relied on the special gaze he brought to see the behemoth's face, and suddenly gasped and recalled the latter's name.
Sea Dragon Metotis - This legendary creature that inhabits the deep sea area of the St. Furren Sea, excluding the various attribute bonuses of the legendary template, has a terrifying level 28 in total alone.
It is a sea dragon that is supposed to inhabit the deep sea, usually diving out of the deep sea to breathe in heavy rains, and giving a devastating and powerful response to some adventurers who do not know whether to live or die and try to complete the dragon slaying on him.
The pirates used their ballistas to fire a barrage of gravel to carry out a massive air attack on the black-sailed ship where they were, but they did not notice that their ship had pursued Finn and his party to the deep sea of the St. Furon Sea, and it was even more coincidental that the sea dragon Metotis happened to swim from here.
Metotis himself had an irritable temper, and when the barrage fired by the pirates from their ballistas fell into the water and hit the hard scales on his body, the sea dragon that lived in the deep sea roared, poking its anaconda-shaped neck and head out of the sea and roaring, and stirring up a whirlpool of turbulent water with its body lurking beneath the surface.
The whirlpool stirred up by Metotis quickly swallowed up the three nearest pirate ships, and the screams of the pirates were so terrible and frightened that they were so loud that for a moment they drowned out the noise of the pouring rain, making it sound like a terrible war was being slaughtered here.
Finn watched as the three pirate ships, which looked like toys compared to Metotis, were gradually swallowed up by the turbulent whirlpool, and although he did not feel sympathy and pity for the pirates who had died on their own, he panicked for some fatal reason.
After all, the ropes on the three pirate ships were still connected to the hull of the black sail ship at his feet, and at the same time that the three pirate ships were swept into the whirlpool, the black sail ship at Finn's feet was also dragged into the edge of the whirlpoolβwhich is why when everyone was in the cabin corridor not long ago, they suddenly felt as if the corridor floor had been pulled away by a pair of invisible hands.
After learning the truth of the incident, Finn glanced at the large maelstrom centered on Metotis in the distance, swallowed a nervous cloud of saliva in his throat, and then ran down the stairs back to the cabin without a second of delay.
Seeing Finn returning from the door of the cabin with a panicked face, Arya had already sensed a feeling in her heart that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to say it immediately.
The worried witcher elf girl pursed her upper and lower lips, and when the paladin youth in front of her walked down the stairs by the wall, she asked, "Finn, what's going on outside?" Why do you look so upset? β
"Do you know the sea dragon Metotis?" Finn walked down the stairs, and his first sentence was not to explain what was going on outside, but to throw the question to everyone present in a simple and straightforward manner.
Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond froze at the same time.
The name of the sea dragon Metotis is sometimes synonymous with nightmares on the shores of the St. Flon Sea, this grumpy sea dragon is not only irritable by nature, but also extremely territorial, and often destroys all ships that dare to intrude into its sight because of the slightest "violation" that is not provocative.
For a moment, the witcher elf girl clenched her fists with a sad face, and she was unwilling to think about how to get out of danger.
However, compared to Arya, Arroyo's psychological quality is much worse.
"Oh, no! Why did that thing appear?! The thief young man, who was almost desperate in his heart, raised his arms and covered his face in pain and wailed, "What should I do, everyone? Our ship is about to sink into the depths of the sea, and we can't just be finished! β
For a long time, there was silence in the corridor of the cabin, which trembled violently with the whirlpool current, and no one made a sound.
A little bit of time passed, and a few seconds laterβ
"Not really...... Let's slay the dragon! The future Sword Saint Young Man suddenly clenched the hilt of the curved sword, and his eyes suggested feverishly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Codewords are too slow...... Said a good point left and right to two o'clock (ε§)
But it's okay.,It's barely done to say good.,It seems that we can still find a girlfriend in this life......
Well, both outside the screen and inside the screen _(:Π·γβ )_
