Chapter 168: The Great Squid
Rune science has a very broad prospect, but because it can only use elemental crystals as an energy source, it cannot be popularized at present, and it is generally used in ships and vehicles, etc., and the price is very expensive.
The rune boat in Yalan Village was also bought by the whole village, and there was only this boat in the whole village, and they were not willing to use it at all, that is, they were willing to take it out when Athena came.
After drifting on the calm sea for half a day, but he didn't see the shadow of the so-called strange beast in the sea at all, Li Ang couldn't help but guess that the people of Yalan Village would not have deliberately lured them here, and then there was some conspiracy.
At this moment, through the induction of the seawater, Leon found that a huge beast was swimming towards them at a rapid speed, and the whole shape was a fusiform, and it was really impossible to tell what it was by the induction of the seawater alone
"Here we are." Athena also spotted a strange beast that was approaching at great speed.
The giant sea beast had not yet appeared, and the monstrous waves were already coming.
The rune ship was indeed very good, even if the waves were rough, the hull was still very stable, and there was no tendency to tipble, until the huge waves crashed against the hull, and the rune ship only shook violently for a while.
The waves crashed into the hull of the ship and splashed down like a torrential rain, pouring cold on everyone except Athena and Leon.
As a man, Leon of course had to help Athena block the icy seawater, and the result was to win a smile from Miss Athena.
The huge waves dispersed, and finally revealed the true face of the strange beast in the sea, it turned out to be a huge squid, the whole body was pink, most of the body was hidden in the blue water, only a pair of huge eyes and pointed heads were exposed, and there were two tentacles full of suckers waving at will.
Athena is worthy of being known as the goddess of wisdom, and she still maintains a calm and dignified posture in the face of such a deep-sea beast, looking indifferently at the big squid in front of her.
"You're pretty calm."
Except for Athena herself, Leon was as relaxed as her, her warriors were all facing the enemy, clutching the weapons in their hands, and the villagers had already found a place to hide.
"What's this, I've seen a lot more fierce than this." Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that the dragon in the East China Sea of Huaguo is several grades stronger than the big squid in front of him, how could the well-informed Li Ang care about this little squid.
"And you're on?" Athena made a gesture of invitation to Leon.
"No, you'd better come." It was still a bit difficult to deal with this big squid in Leon's current state, and he could just take this opportunity to learn about Athena's strength.
"Line up! Hearing Athena's coquettish shout, the thirty-two warriors she brought moved instantly, divided into left and right sides, sixteen people on each side, and all the warriors staggered to form a special formation, and Athena stood in the middle of the gap and the rear position.
The warriors have one behind them on the shoulders of the one in front, and if you look down from above, you can see a net-like structure, and the two people in the front hold their hands together, forming a prismatic shape.
Athena's right hand stretched forward, palm forward, five fingers slightly open, and as she moved, the deck where she was standing gradually lit up with mysterious runes, and at the same time, similar runes lit up on the armor of the thirty-two warriors.
All the runes had a special connection with each other, and under Athena's control, the power of the thirty-two warriors converged into the palm of her right hand, forming a highly compressed powerful ball of energy.
It's tedious, but it's actually only a dozen seconds.
"Kill!" Athena snorted again, and the energy ball in her hand instantly exploded, forming a thick pillar of energy light, which bombarded the big squid's big eyes with lightning speed.
"Ang~~~!" The giant squid was hit hard by this, and let out a deafening scream, and countless thick tentacles danced all over the sky, setting off huge waves in the sea.
There are also huge tentacles that slap towards Athena, covering the sky and the sun.
It was difficult to judge how far away it was, but now when the tentacles slapped it, they found that the width of the tentacles was no less than the width of the rune ship, with a width of more than ten meters.
"Shield Array!" Athena had already shouted out when the big squid had just made a move.
As soon as Athena finished speaking, the thirty-two warriors had already completed the transformation of formation, and a huge circular shield emitting a pale golden light blocked the front of the tentacles.
Rumble~~~! The seemingly thin layer of light curtain completely resisted the tentacles of the big squid, and there was not even any shaking.
After defusing the attack of the big squid, under Athena's order, the warriors changed formations again, this time forming a light saber in mid-air that exuded a sharp sword, mercilessly slashing at the big squid.
With the assistance of the warriors, Athena constantly manipulated the power of the runes to form various attacks, her attacks were very sharp, and every time she could grasp the perfect opportunity, she left huge wounds on the big squid's body, and the blue-black blood continued to scatter, making the originally clear sea water very turbid.
Athena said that her ability is to predict the future, and she can grasp the movements of the big squid every time, or give it a heavy blow, or perfectly resist its attack, which should be the embodiment of her ability, so what about these runes?
If it weren't for the fact that he was still fighting, Leon would have pulled Athena over to ask what was going on.
The big squid is actually very strong, not to mention anything else, the vitality is particularly tenacious, and the recovery ability is also very strong, even if it is Leon in his heyday, it will be very difficult to deal with, but under Athena, it is a completely ravaged character.
The battle lasted for a full hour, and this sea area, as far as the naked eye could see, was almost as muddy as if blue ink had been poured into it, and Li Ang couldn't help but think, how much blood did this big squid have, and how much it had flowed, don't you faint?
Athena still failed to kill the big squid in the end, after all, the big squid is not stupid, it is really invincible, and immediately sank into the sea and disappeared.
However, there were still a few fat tentacles left, and Leon was going to take them back to make him teppanyaki to eat.
"It's a pity, let it run." Athena said helplessly, she was really not good at fighting in the water.
"Thank you, Your Highness", seeing that the big squid had been beaten away, the villagers came out to think about Athena.
"It was badly injured by me, and it won't come back to harass you again." Athena's eyes flashed, and she said confidently, it seemed that she should have seen something.
The villagers trusted the goddess of wisdom and said that if the sea monster would not come again, it would definitely not come.
After thanking him again, the rune ship began to set sail back to Yalan Village, and Li Ang finally had the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart: "Those runes are also your ability?" ”
"Sort of, but it's not an ability, I researched it." Athena leaned lightly against the railing, letting the sea breeze blow her long hair.
