Fein staggered up from the ground on his hands and feet, feeling that the floor of the corridor under his feet had become tilted, and immediately reminded his companions loudly: "There is no time to rub around!" ”

As the words fell, he continued to run down the stairs of the cabin not far away to the bilge, and the jolting hull almost threw him over the wooden floor several times, but he finally stumbled to the bilge, and found the small wooden boat he had told everyone about from the bilge that had begun to gradually drain.

The bilge of the cabin had been hit by several rounds of ballista barrage from three pirate ships, and at this time, some of the holes in the surrounding wooden walls began to appear to flood, and a layer and a half of sea water had accumulated under Finn's feet.

Finn came to the bilge of the blacksail ship, and without the slightest hesitation, rushed to the small wooden boat in front of him, gritted his teeth and used brute force to pick up the small wooden boat the size of a single bed and carry it on his back, and ran back as fast as if he were carrying a turtle shell.

Carrying the crucial "tortoise shell" on his back, he ran down the somewhat sloping staircase to the previous cabin corridor, and soon reunited with Raymond, Arroyo, and Arya, and then joined forces with Raymond and Arroyo to carry the small wooden boat he had laboriously carried from the bilge up the final flight of stairs up the deck of the Blacksail.

Arya carried Lilith on her back and followed closely behind. The moment the four young girls arrived on the deck, they were once again shocked by the huge body of the sea dragon Metotis, but they immediately thought that it was time to race against time, and immediately put the small wooden boat on the deck under Finn's immediate command, and then Arya put Lilith in a comatose state.

After that-

"I'm ready, Finn."

Arya bent her knees slightly, balancing herself on the sloping deck, holding the giant crossbow she had just taken from her back.

"Let's get started." Finn looked at her and nodded, "Arya, first the attribute magic arrows. ”

"Understood."

The elven girl replied simply, then crouched down, held the crossbow in her hand, and fired a magical arrow made of ice crystals from the middle of the deck towards the bow of the ship.

The ice-blue magic arrow approached the deck of the black sailing ship, drawing a straight line in the extremely low air above the ground, bringing the extremely active water elemental in the air to the deck area that would be affected by its magical energy, and a smooth ice path was formed in an instant.

The three boys, Finn, Raymond, and Arroyo, immediately pushed the wooden boat carrying Lilith onto the ice path, and then quickly squeezed into the wooden boat with Arya.

"Arya,!" Finn gave the boat one last push, then jumped forward into the boat, reminding the elven girl who had already set up the crossbow in the back.

Arya nodded knowingly, and then used her expertise once more to create a new magic arrow.

This time, she chose the attributes of the magic arrow, and the giant wind arrow suddenly turned into a spiral of air and pushed the small wooden boat carrying everyone forward.

The frozen ice path reduced the friction between the bottom of the boat and the ice to a certain extent, and the small wooden boat pushed by the wind slowly started in an inclined upward direction, but the speed was far from enough.

"Go on, Arya, go on! Don't stop! ”

Looking back at the stern of the ship, which had begun to be swallowed up by the whirlpool, Finn reminded loudly of the elven girl who was huddled beside him at this moment.

Arya understood the urgency of the situation, so she was shooting the first giant wind bolt backwards as Fein had said, and then using her expertise and the giant crossbow in her hand to create and shoot the second, third, and fourth......

Then a miracle happened.

Several waves of air carried by magic arrows pushed the wooden boat faster and faster along the path of the ice, and finally caused Arroyo and Raymond to have the illusion of sitting on a sleigh.

Finally, when the surging tide turned into a bloody mouth and swallowed the stern, the plain little wooden boat rushed out of the bow along the sloping slope of the deck, drawing a trajectory line of more than 30 degrees in the dark night sky, and spread its invisible wings like a meteor piercing the night.

"Oh my God, we made it... We're really flying! Arroyo grabbed the side of the small wooden boat with both hands, poked his head out and looked at the sea more than ten meters away from him in surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh, luck Lachry is on top, we are out of danger!" ”

While the thief youth shouted excitedly, Raimon glanced in the direction of the sea dragon Metotis, and immediately retorted to his companion with a panicked face: "No, not yet! ”

"Huh?"

Arroyo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of Raymond's gaze, and the hope in his heart immediately turned to despair as if he had been on a roller coaster.

"Oh, no!" He raised his hands to cover the cheeks on either side of his cheeks, his pupils reflecting the sea dragon Metotis looking directly at them, and the two giant dragon eyes focused on the small wooden boat they were on.

Metotis opened his mouth full of two rows of sharp teeth, and the arcane spell verses were arranged in an orderly manner by him with a roar, thus forming several chanting spells at once.

The chanting caused by those incantations lasted less than half a second, and dozens of arcane missiles flew out of Metotis's mouth.

The dozens of arcane missiles all flew straight at everyone. Arroyo's face turned pale after a thrill and sorrow, and Arya and Raymond stared at the dense barrage with wide eyes in astonishment, as if they saw Death Des swing a terrifying scythe at them in the dark night sky.

"It's over......" In an instant, the thief youth, the elf girl, and the future sword master sighed in their hearts at the same time.

But there was one more person on the small wooden boat who did not give up.

Finn's eyes looked directly at the barrage in front of him, and he reached in and took out a dark green hedron from it.

, which is the trophy he received from killing the Molk giant tarantula on his way from the Ork Fortress after he and Lilith met.

The artifact ability to summon ghost spiders isn't offensive, and it can sometimes seem like a chicken, and Finn has only used it once in the Wolf's Tooth Stronghold since acquiring it.

However, now, the young paladin once again held it in the palm of his hand, and the dark green hedron seemed to feel the will of its bearer, and suddenly glowed faintly in Finn's hand.

The expected system prompt appeared as scheduled.

[If you are trying to use an item skill, please pay any amount of health.] 】

"Pay... 80 health. ”

[Note: You paid more than 50% of your total health, do you want to confirm that?] 】

[Warning: You paid more than 75% of your total health, do you want to confirm that?] 】

"Confirm it all!"

Finn gritted his teeth and let it out, and mentally replied to the kind hint of the game system.

The next moment, a ghostly light flashed on the surface of the dark green spar in his hand, and a full eighty ghost spiders suddenly appeared like a translucent dark green wall, blocking between everyone and the barrage web composed of arcane missiles.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The successive explosions are high-pitched in the next moment, and the performance lasts for several seconds. Dozens of arcane missiles unleashed by Metotis all crashed into the ghost spiders summoned by Finn, and these little guys, all of whom only had 1 HP, exploded in a short instant, leaving no armor behind.

Eighty ghost spiders honorably fulfilled their duties as cannon fodder, erecting a wall of souls for everyone with their bodies, and resisting all the dozens of ways cast by Metotis.

The smoke of magic quickly dissipated high in the night. The sea dragon Metotis stood like a tower in the middle of the whirlpool, and like most dragons, the sea dragon was clearly unhappy with Finn's recent dissolution of its magic, so he reinvented a new spell in the dragon language.

The small wooden boat that Finn and his party were riding had not yet flown out of the sea dragon's casting range. This time, Metotis chanted for about a second, then opened its bloody jaw, spewing out a white arc of light from the depths of his mouth.

, Three-Ring Sorcery, in which the caster casts a beam of electricity that deals elemental magic damage to the affected target.

The lightning bolt shot out of the sky of Metotis and struck straight at the crowd. Arya's keen eyes caught the white arc of light, and Finn's extremely high perception properties helped him respond to the spell in a timely manner.

The young paladin raised his hand to the beam of lightning that was rapidly flying towards him, a ring on his hand and his cheek clenched in the oncoming lightning.

He spread out his five fingers and pointed his palm directly at the white arc, and shouted a strange-sounding byte in his mouth: "Sw'low!" ”

At that moment, the gluttony he wore on his middle finger was as agitated as a gourmand who smelled the aroma of food, and an invisible protective film quietly wrapped Finn's body.

Metotis is a legendary creature, and despite being only a three-ring sorcery, the white arc of light cast by the sea dragon hit Finn's body and then under the influence of the prop skill effect, Finn's health was restored from 13 to 93 at full health in one go.

It is conceivable that if there is no protection, it is very likely that the spell cast by Metotis can directly kill Finn in a full health state in an instant.

In other words, if everyone had responded to Raymond's plan to slay the dragon and fight the legendary creature head-on, then there would undoubtedly be only one possibility of annihilation, because none of them would have been able to cross the kill line of Metotis with their health.

After successfully dissolving the magic of Metotis, the wooden boat carrying everyone did not stop rising, and struggled to climb the black canopy like a pioneer who was exhausted, but still did not give up hope.

The wingless ship made a final sprint towards the hope sky, and then finally reached the highest altitude it could reach in its lifetime on this flight journey, and then continued its flight in the direction of the sea below.

At the same time, the sea dragon Metotis raised its massive dragon head to the sky and let out a roar of victory, and then no new spells were cast on the crowd.

"My lord, we... Escaped? Looking at the sea dragon that was getting farther and farther away from him in his sight, the most frightened thief youth trembled and gasped, and looked at the holy warrior youth beside him in disbelief.

"Probably......"

Finn remained vigilant until he noticed that Metotis seemed to have lost the ability to continue to use dragon magic for them, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and replied to Arroyo with a tired smile, "We survived." ”

Dragons, he remembered, were territorial, and they would cost their lives to any ant who dared to challenge their dignity, but they had little interest in pursuing the weaker who had voluntarily withdrawn from their range.

After all, dragons are noble and arrogant creatures, and they are inherently more powerful than too many creatures, so they don't bother to deal a fatal blow to those who flee in front of them, believing that such behavior will only make them appear inferior to the rest of their kind.

It's like a human who goes out of his way to torture a kitten is not seen as powerful by others, but only as a changer. It's just a state.

"But...... How do we go down? After a while, Arya recovered from the moment of horror just now, and then looked at Finn and asked.

"Go down?" Finn blinked.

"That's right. Falling from this height, and the waves hit so hard...... This little wooden boat can't fall apart, right? ”

"I'm afraid it will."

"So?"

"It's a big deal that we hold on to a few of the planks and swim with the buoyancy of the sea...... Eh, swim... Swim back...... Forehead ......"

"Finn?"

The elven girl with a light golden ponytail stared warily at her fellow paladin in front of her, noticing that the expression on the latter's face was gradually changing from confidence to confusion. The appearance of the force quickly changed, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in my heart.

Two seconds later-

"Oops!" Finn raised his hand and covered his face.

He suddenly remembered that the reason why he was able to use the same method in the previous life to escape from the hands of Metotis and then swim to a nearby island was because he had already completed the advancement of the Paladin profession at that time, and neither his level, health, nor the physical attributes that affected the character's physical strength were comparable to him at this time.

Suddenly, the young paladin was directly dumbfounded.

However, reality is not controlled by his will until he awakens such a supernatural ability.

At last, the wooden boat, carrying five young men and two women, began to fall toward the rough sea with an accelerating momentum, the wind whistling in everyone's ears, and the dancing waves opened their arms like the demons of the abyss with a wicked smile to take the boat that had fallen from the night sky into their arms.

Arya's face was as white as the apprentice of the living in the Wizards of the Dead, and her emerald green eyes were as bright as two bells, and she screamed and shouted to her companions beside her, "We're going to fall!" ”

"Damn, who's going to figure it out!" The future Juggernaut panicked.

"All in all, hold on to the side of the boat first, and don't let the waves wash you away!" The young paladin roared, and at the same time he freed up his hand to grasp the warlock girl who was still fainting beside him.

"In the end, it's going to be over, ahh The young thief opened his mouth wide and closed his eyes, and his words erupted with a crying scream like killing a pig......
