"Oh my God! What's that? Is it a Kraken? ”

Seeing a huge black shadow rushing out of the sea with monstrous waves and endless water vapor, the faces of all the people on the Pearl changed sharply.

Although it was impossible to discern what the black shadow was, just by looking at its body as it burst out of the water, it was almost as close as a sailboat. It's a terrifying and desperate sheer volume.

"Quick! Fast! Fill the sails and tighten the cables! A quick glance at the shadow, Captain Sudit yelled frantically again.

However, the traditional wind-powered sailboats are no better than those that are self-propelled, so the absolute speed of the Pearl is actually a bit slow in the current acceleration phase. No matter how much the veteran sailor spurred the roaring crew to the crew, it was difficult to have any immediate effect.

On the other hand, the huge black shadow has a speed and maneuverability that human ships simply can't match.

But it was only a blink of an eye, and the black shadow that had just emerged from the sea was already cleaving the waves and swimming in the direction of the Pearl.

And I don't know if the black shadow itself is extraordinarily intelligent, or if it has secretly received special instructions, only to see that the trajectory of its parade is not a straight line, but a large arc like a "deliberate detour". As for the end of the arc, it was directed directly in front of the Pearl ship's intended course.

Obviously, the Black Shadow intends to rely on its own large speed advantage to give the human sailing ship a frontal "cutoff".

At that time, once the two get close. With its huge body alone, the black shadow can completely sink the sailing ship and bury it at the bottom of the sea.

"My lord, think of a way. Our ship can't outrun that monster! The experienced old sailor immediately judged the danger and hurriedly shouted.

"Bruno, can you shoot that shadow?" Moriarty immediately looked up and asked loudly to the elf at the top of the mast.

"You can try, but it's not easy."

A moving target is no better than a fixed target, not to mention that the sailboat under his feet is still speeding up at the moment, and Bruno can only try his best to block it.

I saw that another armor-piercing blasting arrow was instantly mounted on the magic longbow.

Then the strings opened like a full moon. The arrow walks like a shooting star.

Under the sparkle of Rayman. The armor-piercing arrow pierced the sky and shot sideways at the rapidly approaching black shadow.

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on the long silver electric tail of the magic arrow, and they didn't blink.

And Bruno really deserves to be a magical archer at the level of "Three Flowers". In the all-round range of speed, relative speed, angle, wind speed, wave undulation, etc., it is not under the condition of rapid change all the time. His arrow still showed incredible accuracy and anticipation. Armor-piercing blast arrows ride the salty-wet sea breeze. A wonderful arc was drawn in the night sky, shooting down sharply towards the side of the black shadow like precise guidance.

It's about to hit the target.

At this time, the Pearl also erupted in cheers.

It's a pity. The shout of celebration came a little too soon.

Just as the armor-piercing arrow was about to hit, the huge black shadow suddenly slammed into the sea like an unpredictable prophet. In the blink of an eye, in a "booming" wave, the black shadow had completely disappeared.

And when the armor-piercing blasting arrow can be "arrived", it is already "nothing to be hit", and can only helplessly penetrate into the undulating sea, and then sink silently.

"This!"

Seeing such a scene, Guderian, who was lying tightly on the railing of the deck, could not help but open his mouth wide. The elf is so clever that it has an arrow, but it has not even touched a single hair of the enemy. It's hard to believe that the contrast is so great.

The next moment, before everyone on the Pearl could react, a huge wave roared again.

And riding the tumbling turbid waves, the huge black shadow also appeared again.

By this time, there was only a nautical mile between the sailboat and the shadow.

"Wow!"

Seemingly enraged by the despicable attack it had just received from humans, the shadow continued to speed up its journey before suddenly erupting into a tooth-aching, high-pitched "scream". It was as if there were countless sharp stones rubbing against the glass.

Then, I saw a large strange fog thicker and darker than the night, suddenly soaring up from behind the black shadow, shooting straight into the air.

In just a few moments, the strange black mist that flew up quickly stretched out, covering the sky and sea within a radius of hundreds of meters. Immediately, Moriarty and the others completely lost the trace of the black shadow.

"I know what kind of monster it is!" Looking at the expanding black mist, Sudit roared violently.

"What is it?" White immediately turned to look at the old sailor.

"Abyssal giant squid! It's the Abyss Squid! Sudit's face was pale, and her ten fingers were tightly clasped into the wooden rudder, and she kept trembling: "Only this kind of monster can emit such a large 'ink mist'. ”

"What! Abyssal giant squid!? Isn't that thing only found in the ancient abyss at the bottom of the sea? How did it suddenly come to the surface? Hearing the captain's words, the knowledgeable sailor immediately cried out in horror.

"It's over! We're done! The Kraken must have summoned the giant squid! This guy is a sea monster that even sperm whales dare to hunt down and kill, and we will never be able to escape. Another sailor sat down on the deck in fear, his eyes full of despair.

"Captain Sudit, what is the attack habit of the Abyssal Squid? Sneak attack? Collision? Or something else? Retracting his gaze from the large black mist, Moriarty asked quickly as he looked at the old sailor.

"I don't know! I don't know! "It seems that the old sailor has become a little incoherent.

"Calm down! Captain Sudit, calm down! Moriarty stepped forward and approached the other side: "It's far from time to surrender. Besides, even if we plan to surrender, the Kraken and the Abyssal Squid won't accept it, right? ”

"Your Excellency... I... I really don't know..."I don't know if it was the mage's calm gaze that helped Sudit quickly suppress the fear in his heart, and the old sailor took a deep breath and shook his head fiercely: "The abyssal giant squid usually only exists in the bottomless trench abyss, and rarely appears on the surface of the sea. In the past, their names were only heard in legends and stories. ”

"Then tell me what is in the legends and stories. Fast! Moriarty glanced at the black mist that was getting closer and closer, and shouted.

"Yes, sir!" Sudit didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately said everything he knew: "Legend has it that the Abyssal Giant Squid has a huge body like a small mountain, and its strength is infinite. In the sea, the main food of these monsters includes giant fish such as wolf sharks, killer whales, and even sperm whales. But no one knows how they hunt. But I've heard stories of an abyssal giant squid that washed ashore in the northern bay a few years ago, along with the carcass of a strange fish larger than the Pearl. At that time, nearly half of the body of the abyssal giant squid was inserted into the stomach of the strange fish, and there were also many terrifying tentacles with suction cups that cut into the body of the strange fish. I almost strangled the fish. ”

"A straight hit? Tentacle strangulation? And a jet of black mist to cover your tracks? After listening to Sudit's statement, Moriarty summed it up coldly.

"Morty, what should I do?" At this time, the billowing "ink mist" forward was only a kilometer away from the Pearl.

"White, I'm going to find a way to block the first round of the Abyssal Squid. Command a squad of crossbows and attack the giant squid with an armor-piercing blast arrow. Moriarty turned around, looked at the black mist, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." White didn't even ask Moriarty what he could do to stop the onslaught of the giant squid, which was as huge and terrifying as a mountain, and instead answered directly.

"Be careful, you only have one chance to attack. If we don't, we'll have to swim south tonight. Moriarty paused, and then chased after him like a solemn one.

"I understand!" White nodded heavily, and hurried straight to the other side of the deck.

At this moment, everyone on board the Pearl knew that it was the last moment. If they can't stop the Abyssal Squid's attack and kill or force it back, then this icy sea will be its final burial place.

When the archers of the crossbow squad lined up in the middle of the deck, holding their crossbows, the elite warriors of Olympus and other city-states gathered to guard them.

And Clausewitz, as a staff officer, even gave the Wolf Cavalry Company a combat order to prepare to die:

Once the crossbow squad is unable to kill or wound the giant squid with the blow of the armor-piercing arrow, all the wolf cavalry must harness the wolf riders to the sea and fight the enemy in the water in a final desperate fight.

The only one excluded from this self-killing attack order was the werewolf Margaret. Because she has an even heavier responsibility: if that doesn't happen, Margaret must rely on herself and her wolf to take Squadron Commander Moriarty off the battlefield and find a way to get him back to land safely.

Even though such a mission sounded like a fantasy, and even though the werewolf knew that Clausewitz wished she could escape from the mortal battlefield with Moriarty, she nodded her head and agreed.

Time passed minute by minute, as if the huge black fog breathed by death was getting closer and closer to the Pearl.

Moriarty, a man, stood at the forefront of the bow of the ship, the waves breaking like flowers under his feet.

He raised his head, sniffing the stench of death that was rolling in the air like a mountain and a tsunami, and his eyes were as bright as silver stars.

At this moment, the lives of more than 100 people on the Pearl have been placed on the shoulders of Moriarty.

Behind him, there was an endless and vast sea, but there was no way back.

The next moment, Moriarty began to cast the spell. (To be continued......)
