Chapter Twenty-Five: The Army of the Siren Empress
When the surrounding light and shadow changes ended, Chen Xi found that they had left the purgatory realm of the lava volcano and were on a sailboat floating on the sea. It's an ancient European dhow, slightly older. Everyone gathered on the deck of the ship, surrounded by the vast ocean as far as the eye could see.
The sky was leaden gray and overcast with clouds that shrouded the blue-black sea. The cold, damp sea breeze blows the waves, and the whole picture is like a nightmare background. Suddenly, a school of silver fish floated on the surface of the sea, and lines of words were discharged on the surface of the sea:
"Act Six: Destroy the Siren Queen Jisra"
"The Demon Emperor Lucius was extremely angry at the defeat of the Fire Dragon Burning Star, and he sent an envoy to contact the Siren Queen Jisla, intending to drive the Kraken Queen's army of sea monsters to blockade the British Channel, and at the same time plan to attack the port and coastal cities, the Knights of the Round Table, defend the sacred British Sea, and eradicate the evil Siren Queen!"
After more than ten seconds, the fish disappeared into the sea, and the sailboat continued to ride the wind and waves, when suddenly, a low conch horn sounded in my ears.
Chen Xi followed the prestige, only to see a small black dot suddenly appear in the sky in the direction of the port side, and the black dot approached everyone very quickly, and in less than a minute, he had come to the dhow that everyone was riding. Everyone looked at it, and the black spot turned out to be a whale, and there were more than a dozen sea monsters sitting on the back of the whale. Seeing that the whale was close to the side of the ship, the dozen or so sea monsters let out a strange roar, and then jumped up one by one, and landed on the dhow where everyone was.
It was still far away and couldn't see clearly, and at this time, this group of enemies jumped close to Chen Xi to see the true face of the enemy army. The group of enemy soldiers in front of them are either fish-headed human bodies, or purple-green carapaces, or human tentacles...... They are all strangely shaped, and they are both weird and terrifying to look at.
But I saw that the first six monsters were all turtle monsters, with heads like turtles, tortoise shells, limbs like human limbs, skin full of folds, holding a sea beast bone knife in his right hand and a tortoiseshell shield in his left hand.
"Elite Turtle Warriors!" Chen Xi learned the name of this sea monster after using the probe.
The six monsters in the middle are fish-headed human bodies, their arms and legs are similar to human limbs, but they are covered with scales, but the palms and soles of their hands are like enlarged fins, these fish wear conch helmets, wear leather armor made of unknown sea animal skins, and hold long-handled harpoons in their hands.
"Elite Fishman Warriors!" is the name of this sea monster.
In the third row, there are four squid-like monsters, all dressed in robes woven of sea fish skin and seaweed, with a tentacle sticking out of the outside, rolling a sea beast bone staff with coral inlaid at the top.
The names of these four monsters are "Elite Squid Warlocks".
Finally, there stood a giant sea monster nearly three meters tall, with a head like a crab, a heavy carapace of purple and blue, humanoid arms and legs, but the hands were alienated, and they were a pair of claw-like claws as large as a millstone, and they were full of spikes and serrations, which looked extremely hideous.
The name of this item is "Cancer Commander", and it is obviously the mini-boss of the first wave of enemy troops.
"Filthy humanity must be punished for daring to resist the will of the great Queen Kisla. Sea Clan warriors, kill these humans! The Cancer Commander suddenly roared, and at the same time slammed his thick claws, and the sea monster in front of him immediately screamed and raised his weapon and pounced on everyone.
Seeing a group of sea monsters coming, everyone immediately launched the first wave of attack. Xiao Tian still threw away a vine spell at first, and the green python-like vines lived up to expectations, still growing out of the deck of the ship, winding around the feet of a dry sea monster.
The tank first shouted a "war cry", and the roar shook the body of the sea monsters, and then the tank threw out the whirling axe with a move, and the sharp battle axe flew out in a circle, but the turtle warriors in the lead raised the tortoiseshell shield and blocked this move.
"Scatter arrows!"
"Swift Slash!"
"Dragon's Tooth Spike!"
At this time, Chen Xi and the other three also released their skills, but most of the attacks were resisted by the turtle warrior's tortoiseshell shield, and there was almost no damage. Only Xiao Tian's vine technique trapped four or five sea monsters. However, one of the squid warlocks in the back row slammed the coral staff in his hand, and when the squid's mouth was neutral, a black mist erupted, and the several vines that entangled the sea monster withered when they encountered this black mist, and quickly broke into several pieces.
In this first round of battle, there was almost no damage to the sea monster army, which shows how strong these monsters are, and they seem to be better than the dragonmen in the fifth level. It can be seen that from the fifth level, the enemy in the game has indeed changed from quantitative to qualitative, no longer with hundreds or thousands of soldiers at every turn, but with a small but elite strong army to win.
In the blink of an eye, the sea monster had already killed from the other side of the deck to a position close to the front of everyone, and the sea monster army began to attack.
The six turtle warriors in the front row suddenly fastened the tortoiseshell shield in front of their chest and abdomen, and then shrunk their limbs into the tortoise shell like lightning, and the whole became an oval tortoiseshell ball, and the six tortoiseshell balls immediately rolled towards everyone.
The Elite Turtle Warrior skill "Tortoiseshell Ball Impact" is activated.
At the same time, the six fishmen in the middle raised their heads and pouted their mouths, and six water arrows erupted from the fish's mouths and flew straight towards everyone.
It is the elite Fishman Warrior skill "Fishman Water Arrow" that is activated.
The two squid warlocks in the back also raised their staffs, and the squid warlock in his left hand stretched forward with a tentacle, and four or five ice picks appeared in the air and smashed straight towards everyone, while the one in his right hand spewed out a wheel-sized ball of black ink and flew straight towards everyone.
The elite squid warlock skills "Icicle Technique" and "Squid Poison Water Ball" are activated.
For a moment, there were six tortoiseshell balls in front of him, six water arrows shooting from the side, and four or five ice picks and a black water ball falling at a rapid speed above his head.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, and at the same time as the enemy army attacked, Sun Baiyuan and others also moved.
"Dragon's Breath Bomb!" With Sun Baiyuan's roar, the spear in his hand stabbed straight ahead, and the illusion of a dragon's head appeared, and the golden ball of light shot out wildly, hitting an oncoming tortoiseshell ball, and suddenly exploded violently, and the blazing light flame instantly shook the three tortoiseshell balls out.
But the tank roared, and as soon as he threw his head down like a giant bear, he grabbed a tortoiseshell ball with a sharp shot, and threw it out. The tortoiseshell ball was thrown and hit the other one directly, and then the second tortoiseshell ball flew out sideways, hitting the third and fourth, which was the hidden skill "Bear Throw".
The phoenix raised his hand and snapped a series of three arrows in a row, and the arrows shot out like meteor lightning, the first two arrows directly hit the black water ball in the air, and it exploded in the middle of the attack, and the third arrow castrated even more tricky and fast, shooting directly into the face of the squid warlock who launched the black water ball, only to scream in pain.
At this time, the water arrow ice pick in the air has arrived, and at this moment, Xiao Tian's spell has been activated, and a colorful ball of light suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and in an instant, the ball of light was frozen in vermilion, and then it suddenly soared, turning into a flame giant with a height of nearly five meters, standing in front of everyone. It is the Flame Elemental Giant summoned by the Wizard Merlin's hidden skill "Elemental Djinn".
"Puff Puff ......" At this moment, the water arrow and ice pick shot together, shooting directly on the body of the flame giant, and the raging giant devoured it in an instant.
......As if he had been hurt, the fire giant roared and rushed towards the sea monsters, waving his tree-like arms, and swept several fishmen out with a single sweep, followed by a big step, stepping on a turtle man who had been blown over by a dragon's breath bomb, and landed on it for half a life.
At the fifth level, Xiao Tian summoned the Ice Element Giant, which just restrained the fire attribute monsters in the fifth level, and the sixth level was full of water attribute monsters, so naturally the Fire Element Giant Spirit was more effective. Sure enough, this fire elemental giant spirit tiger entered the flock of sheep and smashed into the enemy group, and in a few clicks, the sea monsters were defeated.
When the last Cancer Commander saw that the situation was not good, he also screamed, brandished his giant pincers, and fought with the Flame Djinn.
But it was too late, and everyone had the absolute upper hand, and Sun Baiyuan and the tank duo entered the enemy line from the left, and took the lead in capturing one of the most wounded turtle warriors, killing him in three strikes and dividing them by two, and then killing the second.
Phoenix and Xiao Tian used scattered arrows and the other used fireball techniques, and the two group attack skills smashed into the chaotic enemy group, making it even more chaotic and unable to organize an effective counterattack, while Chen Xi first blessed Sun Baiyuan and the tank with a radiant shield, and then injured the enemy with a long-range attack with a flash of light in the back.
The balance of the battle quickly tilted to everyone's side, and soon four turtle warriors had died in a row under the joint efforts of Sun Baiyuan and the tank, while the other two, one died under the fire of the Cancer Sea Monster and the Flame Djinn, and the other was burned to death by Xiao Tian's fireball technique one after another.
The six fish-men are even more miserable, they are in the battle group of the Cancer Commander and the Flame Djinn, the so-called city gate fire affected the pond fish, these fish-men were also affected the worst, plus there are fireballs and arrows flying overhead from time to time, at this moment there are three fish-men who have died in the chaos of the battle, and the remaining three are also seriously injured.
The squid warlock who was shot in the face by the phoenix was hit by a burst arrow and a fireball in succession, and as a mage class with low blood and low defense, it could not withstand such repeated ravages and was already dead. The attention of the other squid warlock was all drawn to the fire elemental giant, and he smashed one ice pick after another at the elemental giant, just to help the Cancer leader destroy the tricky enemies sooner, but he didn't expect that his companions had already suffered heavy casualties.
Finally, when the scarred Cancer Kraken struck down the Fire Elemental Giants, it found that its men had been wiped out. And the next thing to greet it was the five people who were almost unscathed, and so, ten seconds later, the Cancer monster also followed in the footsteps of his subordinates.
Everyone cleaned up the battlefield and gained a lot of money, but it was all recovery props. Since the fifth level, the drop of recovery items has increased significantly, and I am afraid that it is also a disguised subsidy given by the system to players.
It is worth mentioning that the Cancer Commander dropped two silver treasure chests, and actually opened two skill improvement scrolls in a row, because there were no arcane skill scrolls, in line with the principle of maximizing utility, Chen Xi still used two in a row to upgrade his Rapid Light Slash to the third level, that is, the top level.
After packing up and stopping, the crowd moved forward again, and the sloop continued to ride the wind,
But Chen Xi clearly felt that the sky was more gloomy, the waves began to surge, and the sea breeze became more and more cold, as if the whole sea was beginning to be angry.
When the sailboat moved forward for a short time, the second wave of sea monsters was killed by whales, and when all the sea monsters jumped on the boat, Chen Xi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but saw that this wave of enemy troops was ten elite turtle monsters, ten elite fish monsters, four elite squid warlocks, and two giant crab commanders, and the strength was almost twice as strong as the first wave.
The two sides did not talk nonsense and went to war directly, and this time everyone no longer saved resources as they did at the beginning, and began to use arcane skills. First, the phoenix shot a fire phoenix arrow directly into the rear of the enemy, enveloping the four squid mages and half of the fishmen in the sea of fire, and then Sun Baiyuan summoned a dragoon to raid and strangled the four bloody mages.
The tank used the earth defense to stay in front of the crowd and survived the first wave of enemy attacks. Xiao Tian summoned the fire element djinn again to rush into the enemy formation, and entangled the two giant crab commanders, Chen Xi thief still used the shield of brilliance to protect his teammates first, and then shot at the enemy with a quick light slash, and the attack power of the lightning slash that was raised to the third level was not weak, and he killed several sea monsters with residual blood in a row.
After a fierce battle, the enemy army was completely destroyed. But everyone was also injured, and their fighting spirit and magic were exhausted, especially Chen Xi was carelessly attacked by the water arrows of the four fishmen for a while, and his blood volume plummeted to about 5%, and he had to show a kingly style.
However, the final income is not ideal, and the recovery items harvested can only make up for the consumption of everyone. However, the two Cancer Lords dropped five Silver Chests, and in addition to the four large recovery items, there was also a Firemagic Stone. It's a bonus, you know, this thing is a big killer for the monster in the sixth level.
The ship moved forward again, at this time the wind and waves were more treacherous, bursts of lightning and thunder began in the gloomy sky, and the sailboat was tossed up and down like a galloping horse on the sea, Chen Xi couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was not seasick, but he looked at everyone as usual. After a short time, an "island" appeared in front of the ship.
It wasn't until I got closer that it became clear that it was not so much an "island" as a shipwrecked city made up of hundreds of shipwrecks and coral reefs.
Thousands of boats of all kinds, large and small, large and tens of meters long, small even small sampan canoes, densely packed, horizontal and vertical, occasionally dotted with one or two coral reefs, like a gloomy old ghost town.
The dhow sailed into the shipwreck until it collided lightly with one of the large shipwrecks. Sun Baiyuan jumped off the boat first and walked into the shipwreck city with everyone.
Looking at the ghostly scene around him, his nose was filled with the smell of the fishy tide of the sea and the rotten wood, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel the power and shock of this game again, all of this is too realistic! In his heart, he is more and more sure that the technology that can develop this game is definitely not the technology that belongs to the earth. What exactly? Alien? Oh, God? Or what kind of deity?
As he thought about walking, he soon came to a large coral reef surrounded by shipwrecks, and in the middle of the reef was a half-collapsed temple. I saw that the stone pillars were crooked, the dome was cracked, and the gorgeous statues were in tatters. Half of the temple is soaked in seawater, as if it has been eroded by the sea for many years, and it is covered with parasitic sea objects such as seaweed shells.
Suddenly, Chen Xi found that in front of the temple, there was actually a girl in white sitting quietly on a reef, and the hem of her long white dress had been immersed in the seawater. Yet she sat still, letting the whining breeze gently stir her long golden hair, and her graceful demeanor resembled that of the famous mermaid statue in Denmark.
As if hearing the sound of everyone approaching, the girl turned her head to look over, and saw her long golden hair like a waterfall to her waist, and her skin was white and smooth like jade. A pair of big eyes like blue water are so innocent, the exposed fragrant shoulders and lotus arms are carved like mutton fat jade, and with the snow-white dress, this girl is as beautiful as an angel.
"Stranger, how did you come to this god-cursed sea, it's dangerous, get out of here quickly......"
The girl looked at everyone and said anxiously.
"Jisla, put away your disguise, we're here to take your life!" Sun Baiyuan let out a loud shout and interrupted the girl's words.
"What? This angelic girl is the Siren Queen Jisla?! Chen Xi was immediately taken aback, and then he understood that it was an extremely incredible thing to have such a charming girl in such a strange place. It's the anomaly of things that is a demon, and it's strange that this girl has no problem. But then again, it's also because this girl's appearance is too deceptive. Thinking about Sun Baiyuan, they don't know how many times they have played the sixth level, I wonder if they will be deceived when they see this girl for the first time?
Chen Xi secretly thought to himself, the long sword in his hand was already ready to go!
