Chapter 8: The Kraken Escapes
This kind of unexperienced feeling of pleasure is simply fascinating, every move and style is like divine help, as if the great power of heaven is in the body, becoming an invincible martial god in mythology, I have to say that even Gu Xuan, at this moment, is a little swaying, difficult to hold himself.
"Bang!"
A simple plan to collapse the fist, a punch hit straight out, and in an instant, another kraken who couldn't bear this strong force flew out upside down from the spot, and the trident in his hand came out of his hand, and the body directly crossed the railing and fell into the sea of his hometown where he had lived for generations.
Gu Xuan vented all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time without any scruples, he had never had such a happy and indulgent time, as if he wanted to vent all the things that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years in a short period of time.
Of course, more importantly, he hoped that he would be able to quickly become familiar with this powerful new power, but he didn't know why.
But at the moment when he threw a punch forward again, the seemingly endless power in his body suddenly disappeared, or it was completely consumed by his unrestrained use, and his body was weak, and he threw a punch completely by inertia at the moment.
The kraken on the other side, who had been frightened by his divine might, hurriedly dodged sideways, and when he found that he had successfully dodged the punch, his two large bulging eyes revealed a sense of happiness for the rest of his life, and even he himself didn't believe that he could still stand in place instead of flying into the sea.
But when he came back to his senses and saw that the terrible demon god dressed in human skin, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, was still standing in front of him, staring at him, an extremely strange scream came out of his mouth, and then he didn't think about it, grabbed the trident, and instantly turned around and began to run away.
A monster that was completely unaffected by the most terrifying magic of their Kraken clan and managed to crush them physically, they couldn't help but feel fear, even if their Kraken clan had been called a complete madman by the branch merman clan since ancient times.
Gu Xuan still stood upright in place, not thinking about continuing to pursue, or that he had no strength to pursue anymore at the moment, and even if it wasn't for a great perseverance to hold on, he should have been lying down at this moment.
Tiredness, a kind of tiredness that gushes infinitely from all parts of the body, as if a person has been running to the limit of his body with all his strength, and then being forcibly dragged far away, at this moment his body and mind have actually reached the critical point of overdraft.
But he didn't fall down immediately, because the moment he saw the other party turn and run away, he already understood that he had successfully deterred these countless killings of the Kraken, as long as he didn't fall now, even if he just stood like this, these enemies would be scared away.
At the same time, in the other side of the fleet, there was a sudden cannon sound, far away in the night, it was the cannon sound from their main ship, and only the largest ironclad ship had enough space for this kind of thing that seemed to be very powerful, but in fact because of its poor accuracy, it seemed flashy.
But at the very least, its deterrent power is enough, not to mention sailing on the sea, in fact, the biggest threat is those huge sea beasts that are not intelligent enough, act completely on instinct, and are not afraid of heaven and earth, and these cannons are also equipped to target them.
More than a dozen heavy lead bullets were thrown out by the gunpowder mechanism, and if they were hit head-on, even the hard flesh that the Kraken clan was proud of could not resist, so on the reef in the distance, the Kraken, who was still singing under the moonlight, suddenly stopped singing, and then issued a warning elite sound, and then jumped into the sea in an instant, not even making a splash in the undulating sea, as if a drop of water fell into it, completely integrated with the seawater, and finally shook its tail gently, and it was already far away.
After receiving the signal to retreat, the Krakens on the ship also began to retreat, and after crossing, or even directly smashing those wooden railings, they jumped into the sea one by one, with the talent of the race, they swam in the water as fast as a bird in the air, and in an instant, they could go deep for a hundred meters, and those buckshot that fell into the water, which had been greatly reduced, could not hit them at all.
A sudden killing in the night finally came to an end, and when the last kraken had already fled in a panic, Gu Xuan was suddenly relieved, and was about to sit down and rest for a while, but then he remembered something, and quickly used all his strength to move to the staircase step by step.
At this moment, the three Earth Clan warriors who had been waiting at the bottom for a long time and were anxious in their hearts also escorted the extremely weak Adam to this side, Gu Xuan waved his hand to the bottom, did not speak, Adam waved his hand lightly, and the four of them had to retreat again.
Gu Xuan moved to the bottom step by step, panting and explaining in a low voice: " The attacking Krakens have already left, but I don't think it's a good time for you to escape, according to the voyage, we haven't even reached half of it now, and there is still a long way to go from the windless zone, if you choose to flee directly now, even if you are not caught up by the fleet, it will be difficult to successfully cross the Star Sea and reach the Eastern Continent, it's not that I don't believe in your strength, but this is the truth, and to be honest, if I can, I want to leave here sooner than you. β
The Earth Clan warrior who was kicked by Gu Xuan before, but actually didn't suffer any injuries, but just felt that he had lost his face, couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or false, not to mention that if you don't leave now, when will you go?"
Adam waved his hand, and like Gu Xuan, he said extremely weakly: "Bao, I believe you, this is indeed not a good opportunity to escape, to be honest, if it wasn't for the impossible, I wouldn't have done it so hastily." β
The timing is indeed not a good time, and things are just like what Gu Xuan said, these earthlings who naturally favor the earth and don't like the sea, their ability to sail long distances on the sea is really not stronger than that of the human race, they escaped so early and broke away from the fleet, it is difficult for them to return to the Eastern Continent with their own strength, they just felt that if they dragged it out, it would be difficult for them to wait for the same good time as now, so they hurriedly prepared to leave.
And there is another point, in order to help Gu Xuan free himself from the poison of the kraken, Adam consumed too much strength, originally he was already tortured and weakened when he was imprisoned below, and now he has to rely on the support of three earth warriors to have the strength to move, and now he escapes, he is the biggest, but he has to carry the burden.
But the Earth Clan warriors next to them didn't think so, their thinking was relatively simple, and when they heard that Adam actually agreed with Gu Xuan's statement, they immediately shouted very anxiously: "Lord Adam!"
Gu Xuan didn't pay attention to these people who couldn't make decisions as the leader, but continued to talk to Adam.
"Although this is the first time I have followed the fleet to sea, but since I have only passed such a small distance, the loss of the fleet is so serious, so I dare to assert that this trip will not be safe, in the end, how many people can survive to resist the Eastern Continent, so you don't have to worry at all, there are many opportunities later, and even you can secretly leave the night before arriving in the Eastern Continent, I will help you, believe me, in the case of such a serious loss of manpower, they will even give me the task of cleaning the bilge, and when the time comes, I will cover for you, you can take advantage of this time difference to escape." It's better than just the four of you floating on this vast sea at this time. β
The reason why he would persuade Adam to stay was that in addition to Gu Xuan's belief that this was indeed not a good time for the other party to escape, Gu Xuan also had a little selfishness of his own, that is, he wanted to find out what the magical thing that happened to him was.
Adam must know that maybe he can help himself to master this new power, because Gu Xuan knows that because of the civil strife of the human race over the years, the luck is sluggish, and the power that supports the prohibition of ten thousand laws has begun to weaken, so after losing the protection of this barrier, the weak human race exposed to the various alien races in the Canghai Realm will definitely face an unprecedented crisis against the entire human race, so now that he has the opportunity, he must be a pioneer to learn and master a more powerful power that can enhance and protect himself, and even promote it among the human race in the futureγ
Striving for the survival of one's own ethnic group is something that every responsible individual will do spontaneously.
Hearing this, Adam also nodded lightly, and said very agreeably: "You are very right. β
With that, he immediately whispered to the other three: "You send me back first, I promise you, this time I will not return so simply, if we want to regain everything that belongs to me in the first place, we must think long-term." β
I have to say that I know that if I am escorted to the Eastern Continent like this, waiting for me will definitely be a mortal judgment, but Adam is still willing to stay, and trust a foreigner who has just known him for a long time, such a heart is really the only thing Gu Xuan has seen in his life, and in addition to being moved, he secretly swore that he must let Adam return to the Eastern Continent safely.
The three of them had no choice but to escort Adam, who had made up his mind, to go down to the bilge to put on the shackles again and put him in a cage, of course, even if it was seen by other slaves, it didn't matter, these slaves had already been smoothed out, and even in order to allow them to accept their fate calmly, the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce had completely erased the humanity in their hearts, and now they were actually just a group of good dogs who couldn't bark, just waiting for the buyers of the Eastern Continent to choose.
What's more, apart from Gu Xuan, who would want to go down to the stinking bilge and listen to a group of slaves?
