Section 46 Sea Monsters
After staying up all night, Liu Yuexi fell asleep in a daze for a while and woke up again, with a vague impression that she seemed to have gotten up and repaired a discounted mast with the sailors, the memories were all chaotic, the rain stopped, and the wind and waves were much smaller, but the sea was still gray and black, constantly turning up white waves, and suddenly, Captain Bell shouted: "It's here, we've arrived, Snake Island, inform Cole to anchor and anchor, and we'll rest for a day." With that, he fainted, and several sailors untied him from his seat and carried him back to the captain's quarters to rest.
Snake Island is the only anchorage in the depths of the Silver Sea, a few existences that can provide accurate directions, the ships that go to the Whale Sea Expedition will stay here, make the final correction for the inertia and the navigation clock, due to the storm, the ship arrived at the destination earlier than expected, the next morning, the star clock sent the last string of numbers, they successfully completed their mission, ready to return to Tianyao Island, the pointer sent the number is very difficult, the news that can be sent is very limited, as long as everything goes well, Bell after the day's trimming, relieved, At this time, he was standing on the deck with Liu Yuexi, looking at Snake Island from afar.
"Captain, you know how the world's most venomous coral snake came to this isolated island in the deep sea, and they can't swim." Liu Yuexi looked at this peculiar island, very curious, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is a semi-atoll, the island is overgrown with dense semi-marine plants, from time to time there are birds at the end of the branches vigilantly stay, most of them are skuas, four-winged petrels, and a few albatrosses. The island's venomous snakes make a living by preying on seabirds, which in turn have to stay here, which is the only resting stop on the sea.
Bell didn't know the answer, "Who knows, maybe it was a seabird who sent it." ”
The two began to plan the next step, Bell said very seriously, as long as the previous sea is windy and rough, and then until the whale sea, it will be an area infested by sea monsters, I heard that the owner has two horse force field controllers and elemental messengers, and some silver eagle knights, please let them be ready, and cooperate with my sailors to prepare to hunt and kill sea monsters at any time, and be sure not to let sea monsters destroy the hull.
Everything at sea is an agreement that they have already agreed with the captain, Yuexi didn't ask the reason, just said: "Do you want the other rune knights to be on standby, my rune armor group also has foreigners, earth dragon armor, mountain bears, arsonists, Hute, Du Gai, Gray Wing, you know, force field masters and elemental masters are very noble, and there are few people who can operate them, I will send a few people to protect them, you have no opinion." ”
Bell thought for a moment, "Forget about the short-range ones, if we really let the sea monster rush on board, we'll be finished." Grey Wing and Mountain Bear let them stand by, this psychic rune communication is really useful, in case of chaos, it is very good to act as a liaison between the two ships. ”
Everything was done according to Bell's instructions, and the Quickwind and Easy put away their anchors and set sail again. Just in the southeast wind, the sailors pulled up the white sails, blown by the wind, the gravitational paddles under the walls on both sides of the hull slowly swayed up and down, the wind blew on the cheeks to bring fresh air, a skua leaped over the bow of the sea god statue, a big wave passed, it deftly glided up, towards the distant destination.
It was another day of sailing, nothing special happened, but Bell was still very nervous, constantly correcting the route, hoping not to encounter any accidents, Liu Yuexi couldn't help too much with things at sea, his presence was also a harm to Bell's authority, Liu Yuexi, who had lost the freshness of the sea scenery, simply hid in his cabin to practice and read books to pass the time.
The noisy sound on the deck attracted his attention, and when he got on the deck, it was already dark, and many sailors were leaning against the boat wall to watch, and Liu Yuexi also came up, wow, a colorful light crossed the sea at a rapid speed, what is this, "Go back to your posts, lookout, pay attention to vigilance." It was Bell's voice, and the sailors, who had just been bustling with fire, quickly returned to their posts. A few skilled, eyesighted lookouts climbed up to the lookout on top of the mast and kept looking around.
Liu Yuexi walked up to the nervous Bell and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Captain, is there a problem with this light?" ”
Bell shook his head, "This light is emitted by the rainbow fish, the speed of the rainbow fish is very fast, and the swarm will produce such an effect, the rainbow fish itself does not matter, I am worried that their natural enemies will appear in the giant tower, that is too terrifying, the devil who manipulates gravity." ”
Liu Yuexi was also surprised by this: "It turns out that there are also monsters in the tower on the sea?" ”
Bell nodded, "yes, you've ever seen this kind of monster?" Yes, there are also at sea, and the size is much larger than that on land, often more than twenty meters long, the ability to manipulate gravity is unpredictable, and this guy's habits are elusive, sometimes he doesn't pay attention to the ships at sea, sometimes he is extremely aggressive, if he can't kill it in a short time, it can easily use gravity to crush the ship. ”
Liu Yuexi was speechless, Hongyun Town had also hunted and killed a lot of monsters in the tower that time, but the impact was mainly cunning, I didn't expect that this monster also existed in the sea, or it was a more terrifying monster, "Then is there a way to avoid it, can we leave the range of activities of the rainbow fish." ”
In fact, Captain Bell has already done this, but the range of the rainbow fish is very wide, and it is difficult to completely break away in a short period of time, and Bell does not dare to use the gravitational paddle excessively, and the large-scale gravitational operation is the easiest to cause the attack of the monsters in the tower. I hope I can get through it safely.
The two boats moved forward in a goose-shaped formation, Ding Ding Ding, a strange sound, it shouldn't have come or came, Liu Yuexi was the first to hear this very characteristic sound, and then the sailors on the lookout reported that the rainbow fish in front of them had abnormal behavior, Bell immediately informed Cole to stop using the gravitational oars, put down all the sails, and the two boats adopted the method of silent sailing, hoping not to attract attention.
The monster in the tower should have arrived, and after a while, several colored lights on the black sea in front of them gathered together in a panic, and the rainbow fish seemed to be driven away by something, Ding Ding Ding, the strange voice sounded again, a huge tower monster surfaced, the scarlet eyes were particularly conspicuous on the dim sea, and a pair of glowing gravity generators were arranged on both sides of the body, and the scales on the body were similar to the brilliance of the rainbow fish, and the long body looked so thick, it emitted a terrible low-frequency chirp, Suddenly, the sea water very close to the boat churned, gushing out of the sea like a fountain, and several rainbow fish appeared in the air, which were finely wrapped into two glowing fish balls, not far away, two pairs of red eyes, and then disappeared, and then, the fish balls were also gone, strange ways of eating.
