Chapter VII: A Thousand Reefs
In any case, the biggest problem with Thousand Reefs is the reef and the undercurrent. But with safe routes, that's not a problem. The biggest problem is still the wind and waves.
If the wind and waves are too strong and cause the fleet to deviate from the safe course, the problem is big.
Other than that, according to Stucker, the danger in that area was not too great, and there were no other obstacles except for a large octopus.
"Kraken, we call it Kraken."
"It's a giant Siren with intelligence. All we have to do is offer an offering to it, and it will let us pass safely. ”
"Sacrifices?" Athena pointed to the live sheep on a large ship next to the flagship and said, "These are the sheep?" ”
"Yes, great Athena." "Kraken likes to eat sheep the most. ”
Speaking of Kraken specifically, Kraken's habits are also the experience that Viking pirates have gained with their lives for generations.
This huge octopus Siren has unparalleled strength, and Stuke says that no matter how big the ship is, it can't withstand the destruction of the Kraken. However, Kraken is an otaku kraken, and he stays in Thousand Reefs forever, as long as he doesn't provoke it, as long as he makes it happy, there will be no problem.
In comparison, the dragons who bullied the pirates badly were far less powerful than the Kraken. However, Kraken's house makes it seem much more harmless than the dragons.
"Legend has it that the Kraken has eternal life." Stuke said, "Whoever eats Kraken's heart will live forever." ”
Then he said, "But who can eat the heart of the Kraken?" It is an incomparably powerful kraken, it has a thousand huge tentacles, each tentacle is harder than steel, even if it is broken, it can grow in an instant, and no one can kill it at all! ”
The Kraken in Stuke's mouth is extremely powerful, and it is the absolute overlord of the ocean, and no one dares to provoke it. But in the eyes of Chang Wei and Athena, it's nothing.
At the end of the day, the Kraken is just a Kraken. And here, a human immortal, a main god, what is the kraken?
Even if he can't use his magical powers, with a pair of fists, Chang Wei feels that he also has the ability to dominate the world.
Not to mention Athena, this is a violent goddess who is extremely arrogant to the outside.
It's a strange world, and the ocean is full of amazing animals. There are even sea beasts that look like dinosaurs.
However, these seemingly huge sea beasts were not even taken seriously by the Vikings. It's just food, and when it's needed, it's hit when it hits.
The Vikings were also tough.
It's like now - the boat has been in the deep sea for half a day. I happened to encounter a group of sea beasts that looked like plesiosaurs frolicking on the surface of the sea.
In order to show Athena the bravery of their servants, Stuke launched a direct attack on the sea beasts.
First, catapults, ballistas, and a round of blows dispersed the sea beasts. Then they cast a large net and trapped a plesiosaur with a head and tail thirty meters long, and then these Vikings with axes, spears, and machetes, jumped out of the boat, slashed and axe, hacked the plesiosaur alive, and then offered Athena the most delicious meat.
Not to mention, it's delicious.
Athena expressed her satisfaction and said proudly: "I saw your bravery, very good!" ”
The pirates cheered as if they were bloody.
A day's sailing is coming to an end, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and snow is gradually flying. Stuke came over and asked Athena if she needed to go into the cabin to rest.
"Great Athena, we are about to enter the Arctic Ocean. In the middle of the night, the sky will brighten up and the light will never fall. ”
Chang Wei Ran, Aurora.
Just listen to Stucker: "Where light and darkness meet, you will enter the realm of Kraken." Great Athena, you are so powerful, but I don't think we need to clash with the Kraken, we need to be quiet. ”
Athena said proudly: "I am the great Athena, the main god of Olympus!" If the Kraken dares to offend me, I'll let it know what death is. ”
Stucker opened his mouth, his heart suddenly worried.
He didn't think that Athena couldn't beat the Kraken, but he just felt that once the fight started, Athena might be fine in the vast sea, and his fleet might suffer.
Chang Wei smiled and said, "Pallas, don't embarrass your servant. If they all die, you will have no servants. ”
Stuke was grateful.
Then I heard Athena say: "Okay, little Chang Wei, I reluctantly accept your suggestion. ”
Then he said to Stucker, "Well, keep quiet." ”
"Yes, great Athena."
When the fleet entered the aurora field, the Thousand Reefs Beach also arrived. Sure enough, as Stuck said, the sea is calm, but under the sea, there are reefs of different sizes, heights, and lows.
Endless undercurrents reverberate from reef to reef, hiding great dangers.
An hour after entering the Thousand Reef Beach, Chang Wei and Athena, who had been standing at the bow of the boat, raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at the miserable green sea mist reflected by the aurora, and couldn't help but glance at each other.
"There are even people, and there is a fight."
Athena expressed strangeness.
Three miles away, in the mist, there were faint sounds of fighting and screams. Because the distance is not far, not long after Chang Wei and Athena found it, Stuk and they also found it.
Chang Wei and Athena were suppressed, and it was difficult for their sensing abilities to reflect their advantages. In this kind of fog that is not thick enough and the sea is flat, it does not look good compared to the naked eye.
Stuke's fleet began to slow down and stop, and Stuke hurried over, looking a little ugly.
He said, "Great Athena, there are people fighting the Kraken. We were out of luck! ”
When the fleet came to a complete halt, it was already possible to faintly see the battle situation on the sea in the distance. I saw a twisted huge tentacles strangling and slapping on the sea, and large ships that looked much more advanced than Stuck's ships were broken and shattered by these tentacles, and countless screams became clearer, and the roar was still the same.
Stuke complained, "It must be the kingdom of the eastern continent, those foolish kings, trying to live forever. ”
Chang Wei was surprised: "The continent in the east? ”
"Yes, great Changwei," said Stuke. This kind of thing happens every ten or twenty years. The kings of the kingdoms on the continent wanted to live forever, so they sent armies and drove large ships to hunt the Kraken, but no one succeeded. Now they have angered the Kraken, and we are unlucky. We only hope that the sheep we bring will calm the wrath of Kraken. ”
Kraken's vigorous life qi was like a light in the dark night in the eyes of Chang Wei and Athena.
Athena's eyes flashed with a faint golden glow, she looked at the sea not far away, and said lightly: "It's not bad, it's just too ugly." ”
Chang Wei spread his hands: "A big octopus, how beautiful can you expect it to be?" ”
