【Volume 1】Lanwan 12: Madness
"Look there!"
One pointed into the distance, and the official ship was sailing slower and slower. Even if it is equipped with an electric motor, with the current industrial level of human beings, it is not enough to drive such a huge cargo ship, at most it can only provide domestic electricity, otherwise it will not erect such a tall mast and sail.
The huge Gold Hunter gradually sailed into the windless zone, when a sharp bell rang, and nearly a hundred sailors gathered on the deck to push the huge wheel under the mast:
Boom –
The dull sound of gears was noisy, the ten-story sails were slowly retracted, and the shadows cast by the sun slowly faded from the bodyguards.
Ga Rumble –
The two giant rockers on the deck were pulled down, and the baffles on either side of the bow were opened, revealing several dragon flies vying to poke their heads out.
It is said that the dragon was originally just a water snake, but due to the catastrophe that swept the earth, it was mutated by unknown radiation, so it has the current race.
Like humans, the Earth of today is no longer the Earth of the past, and many of the creatures that survived are no longer the creatures of the past. However, this 'many' is still only a minority.
"Wow!"
The bodyguards gathered at the bow of the ship looked up, and many of them exclaimed. Many of them were protoplasms of mutant animals that had been seen at one time.
Fusgaard narrowed his eyes slightly, the dragonflies taller than the bow of the ship, their cyan scales shining like a small swaying forest on either side of the bow, casting a new shadow over everyone's heads instead of the huge sails that had been retracted.
Through the window of the captain's room, Qing Yu could also see those dragon flies clearly, but the light in his eyes was extremely cold. She didn't have a good impression of these deviant animals, but she didn't have a disgust with them. Like humans, they have the right to live, and they are good and bad, and humans are far more terrifying than them.
Light Feather looked at the red sea from afar, and the color was not the red of the sea, but from the large corals underwater. The water here is so clear that you can see through the vivid colors. Of course, the red coral seems to be within reach, but in fact I don't know how deep it is.
The dragon flew instead of the sail and pulled the huge gold hunt to continue forward, and at this time the meeting of the navy had just ended, and Jin Ge's voice sounded on the radio:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the Sea of Red Mountains, which is the most dangerous place on the voyage, and why the government has hired you so much. The passage through the windless zone of this sea is very slow, and based on past experience, it will take at least a day. Dragonflies are the only tools to take us through the Sea of Red Mountains, so it's your job to keep them safe and not let them be eaten by blood vultures. ”
[Blood Vulture]?!
As soon as this name appeared, everyone was in an uproar, and their expressions changed suddenly, and even Qing Yu was stunned. There was a noise on the deck, except for the silence of Fursgaan. The sunlight reflected on his glasses, and no one could see his expression clearly.
"Hey, what are you doing with the pestle? It won't be stupid! The soldier who ran away pushed him, but saw him stupidly pointing at the dragon:
"I was thinking that dragons are very docile, so they can be domesticated. They have almost no combat power, but their scales can be transformed into armor, and if they encounter a blood vulture later, they will definitely run the fastest. By then, you should be able to pass through the Sea of Red Shan soon, right? ”
"you M's! Are you a pig brain! The soldier struck him on the head, "The dragon is so big, the target is so big, run fast to die?" They're dead, and you're going to pull this boat? ”
"No, that's not what I meant......"
"Shut the fuck up for me! Soft eggs! The soldier yelled at Versgaard, angry at him, "I tell you, if the blood vulture comes later, take your broken slingshot and work hard, and if you dare to escape, you will die!" ”
Probably because when they arrived at the Sea of Red Mountains, the soldier's mood became extremely impatient, and then he ran like a fly. It was also a penalty run, they were already faster than Fusgaard, and now they were running desperately, which was enough to see their fear of blood vultures.
It's not that no one among the bodyguards has ever seen a blood vulture, but most of them are just on the atlas, and the only ones they have seen with their own eyes are the Hoss brothers: "It's okay, it's a big parrot, and there's nothing to be afraid of." Back then, the two brothers killed two of them quite easily. ”
"It's worthy of the Hoss brothers, it's amazing!"
"I heard that blood vultures are rare to see on the mainland, and the government has sent troops to encircle and suppress their nests in the past, so there are not many of them. How did you come across them? ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Hoss brothers, and the brothers became more and more proud, and they liked this feeling of being admired: "Our brothers have traveled from south to north, who hasn't done business?" Even the Dawn Organization approached us for help, but the offer was too low and we refused. ”
The brothers bragged about the cowhide with great interest, and had become the backbone of the bodyguards' trust, and they also took up their positions on the deck as they were told, and made the so-called tactical arrangements.
"Hmph, what a bunch of fools who don't know the height of the sky." In the command room, Jin Ge sneered at the people on deck, and the deputy captain shrugged his eyebrows, with a look of sanctimonious regret:
"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid no one would dare to get on the boat. The government has done a very good job in this regard, and has published a special atlas of one kind. This person sometimes has to be a frog at the bottom of a well, but there is no pressure. If you know what the sky is like outside, it's hard to say that you won't regret it, and you feel that it's better to live a happier life hiding in the well. ”
"The weather is very good today, I'm afraid those things will come early, so let's prepare early." Jin Ge gave the order lightly, and the soldiers on the deck who were punished for running were equally concerned about the wind and sunshine, and then increased the speed of running.
The military order is like a mountain, and the two of them are simply running with their lives at the moment, and the intensity has already exceeded the usual training several times. People can always burst into unexpected potential under high pressure, and they would rather run to their deaths on the deck than the attacks of the blood vultures.
Of course, there was not a single person on this ship who wanted to die.
The huge dragon fly pulled the gold hunter and slowly walked forward in the sea of red Shan, the patches of red were extremely beautiful, like endless velvet flowers blooming in the sea, stretching into the distance in patches, arousing endless reverie. If you are a human before the end of the world, you can't even dream of such a strange beauty.
It's just that in the eyes of women, the beautiful scenery evokes only the bloody wind and rain in the memory-
Killing, struggling, dying...... It was the most terrible hell on earth, and she stood in a valley stained red with blood, with rotting corpses and bones next to each other, and the entrails and stumps of wild beasts could be seen everywhere; She stood still, numb to the point of losing her expression; She stood silently, watching the obscure sky loom over the pressure, and the flocks of blood-vultures rolling overhead like smoke......
The memories are vivid, and everything in front of me at this moment is strikingly similar. On the other side of the sea, in the depths of the Red Mountains, a dense stream of blood-vultures rolled in with hunger and gore, and a scream that was more terrible than a nightmare!
"Babble-babble-"
The dragons were in a state of agitation and panic, and they swam like mad, and the huge gold hunting horns shook like the ground. It is clearly a windless belt as smooth as land, and at this moment it is only in the crisis of the fryer because of that terrible scene.
"Oh no, the blood vultures are here! Fast! Release the floodgates! ”
The navy raised the alarm, and all the soldiers in the corridors took refuge in the cabins. The sound of sirens pushed the atmosphere into more chaotic tension and panic, and heavy iron bars descended on the five-story hull. The two soldiers who were still running away were also like grasshoppers who were startled, and they just ran into the fence and rolled into it at the last moment.
"Babble-babble-"
The dragon flew through the waves, pulling the official ship unstoppably, trying to avoid the huge crisis with an arc trend, but it was a bloody vulture like a fog covering the sky, menacing and extremely fast.
"Bah-"
The dragons were in a state of confusion, and in a panic, they all retracted behind the baffle at the bow of the ship. The huge official ship of the city stopped in the windless zone, and before the waves subsided, the blood vulture was like a flame that swallowed the sky, and its feathers reflected the clear sky, approaching, swooping down:
"Oh my god! Why are these strange birds so big? Not to mention just a flock of parrots! ”
The murderous aura came to the top, and in the face of a single blood vulture that was bigger than a human, many bodyguards panicked and scolded and hugged their heads. It's a rabble, and when danger comes, the tactics that are said to be good have become complete bullshit.
The ferocious blood vulture is powerful and swift, its claws are sharper than the blade, and when it catches people, it rushes up, and its sharp beak immediately cuts the prey alive!
"Ah——!h
"Ah——!h
Screaming and bloody, the Hoth brothers, who had never seen such a battle, were completely overwhelmed, and at this moment they did their best to save their lives.
"Gera!" Abel drew his knife and slashed at a bloody vulture, which saved his brother's life, and the sound of fighting and swords around him was chaotic, and many powerful bodyguards had already fallen into a life-and-death struggle with the beast!
There is fire and fog, light and darkness in the chaos, and after the catastrophe that looted the earth, in the face of the monsters born of mutations, the human beings who have also undergone changes are qualified to resist.
"Dog N raised, Lao Tzu fought with you!" Abel scolded angrily, although he was born with divine power, but it was limited to his arms, and he could only stimulate this power after bleeding.
"Brother!" Gera wailed, heartbroken, for the smell of blood only made the blood vulture more excited.
"Leave me alone, go! Cut down those railings and hide inside! Stinky and shameless navy, they are trying to use us as a meat shield! ”
Abel is the eldest brother in the end, and uses his own blood fragrance to lure away the blood vultures besieging Gera. Geral's ability is to heat up, setting a Blood Vulture on fire in an instant, but must touch the target with both hands at the same time. However, once the blood vulture is brought close, it means death!
In this era, creatures born with abilities are called primordials, but most of them are low-quality primitives, and their ability to activate them is limited by certain conditions. Even if there are more than a hundred bodyguards gathered now, it doesn't mean that they are all suitable for dealing with blood vultures.
The Hoss brothers are actually right, they do need tactics and strategies to deal with this war, but unfortunately, they are not just a rabble that has been put together temporarily, but also a batch of bait prepared by the government for the navy from the beginning!
Tactics?
Tactics?
Not at all.
As long as you can feed this group of blood vultures, it will be enough.
