Chapter 123: Level 1 Alert

"Damn! That's how it would be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mage Murphy, who slapped directly from the table, immediately reached out and got out of the cabin with a sharp and agile look that was very different from his previous image in the surprised gaze of the apprentice beside him.

Although he was Murphy's apprentice, the middle-aged spellcaster in front of him was different from the hapless kid who had been used as cannon fodder by an alchemist before - he was also a spellcaster with good strength. Rather than follow his mentor out of the cabin, he expertly began to pick up the crystal ball embedded in the cushion on the table.

You must know that in this rickety cabin, even if there is a special arrangement, it is difficult to guarantee that the transparent crystal ball will not have any accidents. In particular, the hasty departure of Master Murphy is often a sign of impending danger. Maybe even this cabin will be difficult to preserve, let alone that strange thing.

At the same time, this crystal ball, which can enhance the effect of the prophecy spell, is not just a perfectly carved transparent crystal. The inscriptions and circles solidified inside it are not something that ordinary people can complete. Therefore, the market estimate of this strange object is more than 15,000 gold coins, not to mention, and it is usually unmarketable.

Even as a mage Murphy, he can't take such a large amount of gold coins to waste. Therefore, as his apprentice, the middle-aged mage in front of him must of course take care of his master's valuable property. So as not to encounter unnecessary trouble in the future.

The bells of "Dang Dang Dang-" echoed across the deck. The sailors who were originally busy were all looking at the stern at this moment. Immediately before those middle and lower-ranking officers could give the order, Captain Kaplin's voice had already enveloped the entire ship: "Level 1 alarm, level 1 alarm." Note that this is not a drill. Repeat: This is not a drill. ”

Barrett, who was bragging and farting in the cabin and the officers on shift, immediately became serious when he heard the sound that pierced through the decks. Level 1 alert means that there is a great danger of having an entire fleet to be destroyed. Captain Kaplin couldn't do that with his own voice alone, and the reason for his use of strange things made his nerves tense.

After a moment of distraction, Barrett made a jump and hovered out of the cabin. The officers in the cabin did not even have time to deal with their own personal problems, and began to rush to their original posts - in the face of the danger of their own death at sea, the subjective initiative of these officers was greatly mobilized.

Not only the 'Iron Curtain Core', but also the threat discovered by Mage Murphy was transmitted to the 'Silver Sword Brave' and the 'Mithril Core' through the 'Messaging Technique'. The two frigates were also ready for battle: the rest of the crew was canceled, the Marines were immediately assembled, and the original hammocks were tightened and stuffed into a special iron bar on the side of the ship to serve as a temporary women's wall.

When the elders had been done in an orderly manner, Barrett, who was standing on the stern, could not contain his curiosity and asked, "What are we going to face?" ”

"See for yourself, it's already here." With these words, a mountain suddenly emerged from the sea. Immediately afterward, the huge black shadow, at least 200 feet long, rode the wind and waves at nearly 80 knots per hour and crashed into the flotilla lined up. Its massive tail lobe collided with its head in the water, creating waves that were 40 feet high. It was still hundreds of feet away, causing its nearest ship to sway, as if it were in danger of capsizing at any moment.

This is a huge cetacean that is almost unimaginably large. Some have seen its head, others its tail, but those who have seen the monster in its entirety and thus be able to judge its actual size and physical features are often no longer alive.

Mage Murphy shouted into the air, "This sea demon whale must not be allowed to crash into a ship, as soon as it crashes or overturns a ship, it will turn around and swim back according to the records, and begin to swallow all living creatures and dead bodies into its mouth that rivals that of a house." Although it is easy to enter, it will be difficult to get out when the time comes. Everyone wants to be the dregs of the sea! ”

At this time, the Morpheus Knight, who rose from the deck, rode the pegasus under his crotch and charged at the sea demon whale with a spear in his hand. In the process of flying at high speed, his body continued to shine with magical aura. This not only made him look good, but also became more powerful. But even so, in the face of this behemoth in front of him, this heroic knight also rose from the depths of his heart with a feeling like a mantis arm.

After all, the sea devil whale is one of the overlords of the deep sea, and it is a huge sea creature that inhabits the narrow waters. Usually such waters are extremely deep straits, which threaten the region's shipping for many years, towing some ships to the bottom of the sea and allowing others to pass through undisturbed, all at the whim of its elusiveness.

At the same time, it may disappear for decades and then reappear without warning to continue its infestation - usually in a new body of water. Whether it was the same monster that had awakened from its dormant cycle, or whether it had been reborn in some way, or whether it was a completely different monster, was unknown.

Therefore, the records of it in the books are mostly vague, and even the elites of the Bolim Lords on the ship are facing such a monster for the first time. Their mood can be imagined.

The Morpheus Knight was worthy of the Dinghai Divine Needle in this operation, and the spear that shone with spiritual light cut a rainbow in the sky. As he approached the body of the Sea Demon Whale, the knight waved his hand and threw it, causing the speed of the shot to break through the sound barrier. The burst of roars was remembered beside the whale.

These spears, which were enough to pierce through ordinary walls, were submerged into the flesh of the sea demon whale. The Great Pain of the Sea Demon Whale caused the target to be shifted to the knight in the air. The crisis in the fleet seems to have been temporarily lifted.

However, although the sea devil whale did not launch a direct collision with the ship, the wave was like a huge moving mountain, still hitting the ship. The ship heaved and fell under this terrible force, struggling to escape from the boiling waters. In the face of such a huge wave, even in a sheltered harbor, it is not easy for the ship to survive the difficulties safely.

But this may be the captain's exquisite skill, or it may be the blessing of the Divine Residence. The three sailboats facing each other are still floating above the sea after their ups and downs. But Barrett saw many poor sailors who had not had time to grasp the fixation be thrown overboard and drowned—in fact, it would have been a stroke of luck to be drowned. The predators that are constantly gathering in the sea will never miss the feast in front of them.

Because wherever the sea devil whale comes, there are other marine predators following it. Because shipwrecks can often provide an extremely rich feeding place for sharks, mackerel, various giant fish, black rays, and even sawfish and loka fish.

Although the sea devil whale has no interest in treasure itself, the seabed within its predatory area is often a graveyard for shipwrecks. The remains of many of these shipwrecks are filled with treasures and valuable cargo.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "As the ignition at the end of the cannon was activated, flames erupted from a black, cold metal cylinder. Along with the flames, there were walnut-sized projectiles tied into cowhide ropes. As the cowhide rope was snapped, the projectiles broke free from the cage that disintegrated in the air.

They rained down like raindrops on the predators that were surging from the waves. The collision between the two sides burst into scarlet blood flowers after a few moments, and a large number of sea creatures sank back into the sea, never to rise again. At the same time, the entire sea water was stained red with blood gushing out of the monster's body.

At this time, Captain Badham was pulling his somewhat hoarse voice and giving an order: "No. 3 help move quickly, your ash cleaning operation is already behind......

"Rush the pod guys, we need more grapeslet now. Let them adjust the ammo rack ......"

The metal pipes sticking out of the side of the ship continue to project dense projectiles onto the sea. The barrage they formed played a role in clearing the scene to a certain extent. But this is far from enough, in the collision of metal and flesh, it seems that flesh and blood do have the upper hand so far.

In the face of the approaching deep-sea predators, the other members of the deck also launched their own counterattacks. The lightning danced wildly on the surface of the sea like a silver snake, perhaps because the number of thunder and lightning was too dense, and gradually converged into a power grid.

The four rays of lightning tore open the sea in an instant, knocking the sea beast away. But in the face of the marine creatures that have come and gone, this fleeting large-scale clearance seems to be such a drop in the bucket. The 'huge' iceberg that froze on the surface of the sea also only incapacitated a small number of the enemy.

The rest are at best a short detour. While this does affect their charge speed, it is not enough to provide security for the frigates.

After breaking through the blockade, a group of black-and-white killer whales jumped onto the deck of the ship while the waves were high. The impact of these 22-foot-long, at least 8,000-pound big guys, made the already unstable ship shake even harder.

Immediately after that, fur appeared on the smooth skin of the killer whales. Limbs appeared underneath him, and a wolf-like tail appeared behind him. It turns out that these are not ordinary killer whales, but a special kind of magical beast.

"Watch out for whale wolves! The Marines confronted the enemy according to the 3 Good Plan. With such a voice, the Marines who had been holding scimitars began to lean back. Immediately afterwards, the spears that were tied to the side of the ship were pulled out by them. In the face of the big guy in front of him, this weapon is far more useful than a scimitar.

These whales, which threaten the lives of seafarers, appear to be a mixture of killer whales and wolves. They are a rarity, long in the sea and on permafrost that is always covered in heavy snow. Legend has it that the first whale wolf was born in the eye of a polar hurricane. It is made of cruel and ruthless elements turned into flesh and blood. Whether the legend is true or not, the cruelty of the whale can rival that of any storm.

On land, a whale wolf is a hybrid form that looks like a wolf and a killer whale, and when it enters the water, its legs and fur disappear and it completely transforms into a killer whale form. These creatures are particularly adept at entering or rushing out of the water quickly, and their transformation of form often occurs in the blink of an eye.

In general, each whale wolf is very ferocious when defending its hunting grounds from other predators, especially when facing other whale wolves. While this reduces the number of carnivores in an area, the devil knows which of the smaller carnivores and the whale wolves is actually worse.

Most of the time, though, whalewolves use their spell-like abilities to create storms, and treat the edge of the storm as a territorial boundary, rarely leaving the storm's range. But they wouldn't resist an opportunity like the one that could follow behind an unusually powerful sea predator.

A series of firewood cracks sounded, and the spears that had come into contact with the whale wolf were easily turned around by the beast - the marines who charged with the barrels of their guns were also thrown to the ground under the power of the whale wolf. Some of them fell to the deck, some rolled to the side of the ship, and some were unlucky enough to be thrown out of the hull.

Those Marines who fell overboard might have had a chance to rescue them if they had actually been in the past. Judging from the current dense water creatures, the chances of survival are slim.

However, the actions of these valiant Marines were not entirely fruitless. Although the fur of a whale wolf is thick, it is not the scales of a dragon after all. Although the spears were broken, many of the spear heads remained in the whale wolf's body. However, it is not known how much damage the spear head that has been riveted by the thick skin of the whale wolf can do to it.

Just as the first line of defense formed by the Marines was broken through by the brute force of the whale wolf, a dark shadow streaked across the deck with a cold glow. Then 'Broken Peak' relied on his sharp blade, and in a burst of leather cracking, cut a huge hole in the left side of the whale wolf—and then Barrett rolled backwards, dodging the huge tail that the whale wolf flung at immediately.

Now that Morpheus is trying to go around the ocean with the sea devil whale, Barrett has almost become one of the few high-end kitchen knives on deck. In this situation, he had to step up and hold the front. Otherwise, if the landing crew collapses, it will be too late. (To be continued.) )
