The strength of sea beasts is not only due to their huge physical bodies, strong physiques, and brutal strength, but also from the fact that they often unconsciously urge the immeasurable aetheric energy in their bodies when they are very excited.

Eight harpoons, as thick as the pillars of the main hall, were pulled by the powerful power of the ship and almost burst out, just imagine what kind of pain it must be.

Not only is the harpoon specially developed for giant sea beasts covered in sharp barbs, but it also has additional mechanisms inside it that release the venom it contains when pulled by the chains linked to it.

Any external damage is actually negligible compared to their huge bodies, even if Gu Xuan slashes it down, for them, it is nothing more than an ordinary person being bitten by an ant, although it does have some pain, but it is completely fine.

But this specially thick harpoon pierced through his softest abdomen, not to mention, and there were so many malicious mechanisms hidden inside, so soon the inside was already stirred to the point that even it was unbearable.

However, because of its momentary decision-making mistakes, or purely instinctive actions, it was stuck in the cabin and could not move, completely unable to get out, under the double stimulation of severe pain and desperate situation, in an instant, a black and blue light wave, with it as the center of the circle, swept directly to both sides.

"Crackling!"

The chains linked behind the eight harpoons that were still in its stomach were all broken in an instant, shattering inch by inch, and what was even more terrifying was that the ironclad ship that had firmly stuck it was as if it had been cut horizontally from the middle with a knife, and the cabin that had been stuck in it had disappeared directly.

At the moment, it is like a fish lying on a cutting board, and the reason why I say this is not because it is a special fish, but because the ship does look like a cutting board from above.

Gu Xuan stood in the bottom bilge, raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and stared blankly at the dark mane of the drooping with a strong smell of sea above his head, and the dark mane of shells, seaweeds, starfish and other things in the middle, as well as its owner, the huge sea beast with a tired color clearly visible in the eyes the size of a calf, and the upper half of the hull that suddenly disappeared for some reason, as well as the blue sky above his head, even if he was as mature as he was, he still couldn't help but subconsciously curse a dirty word.

"。。。。。。 ”

Adam once said one thing, and that is that the amount of aetheric energy in each person's body is indeed related to the size and strength of each individual's body.

It should be said that if everyone, whether it is the earth race, the spirit race, or the human race that may have the talent in this area, is regarded as a container, then the size and hardness of the container itself naturally determine the amount of material stored inside, which is reasonable.

And this is also the source of the terrible nature of these sea beasts, imagine how much etheric energy can be stored in the next continent?

However, the terrifying, gorgeous, and powerful blow just now had exhausted all the energy stored in its body, so it was now lying quietly on the boat, its big mouth open and closed, showing a dying appearance.

Suddenly, Gu Xuan's face changed as if he remembered something, and he was about to leave quickly, but he immediately stopped again, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Uncle Dong, can they still live?

The answer is naturally no, and even Gu Xuan thinks that this entire ship, except for these people in the bilge where he is, there are almost no people who can survive in the last in this sudden and terrible blow just now, even if Uncle Dong and they also have aether energy protection, but it is still not enough.

Because all this happened so suddenly, it was completely a catastrophe from heaven, in fact, after the first two slams, the people above had already suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that this blow was enough to break their last defenses.

"Is this the real world?"

Gu Xuan couldn't help but mutter, his current feeling was as if a child who had just left his mother's side suddenly saw the cruelty of the world, maybe for the entire human race, he was not ready to face such a world.

At this moment, a very strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, that feeling, both a little strange and a little familiar, as if he was familiar with it, but there was a sense of separation.

At the same time, in his mind, an extremely immature voice, like a child who has not yet grown up, suddenly sounded.

"I'm sorry. ”

"Huh?" Gu Xuan was startled, he quickly turned his head, looked left and right, and asked loudly at the same time, "Who is it?"

In fact, he couldn't tell if it was the voice in his head at all, because he couldn't accept such a magical reality for the time being, so at that moment just now, he only felt that someone was whispering next to him, but when he turned his head, he didn't see anything.

In this world, can someone sneak up on him without being discovered by him?

If this happened before he left the Western Continent, Gu Xuan dared to pat his chest and assure that it was absolutely impossible, because he had enough self-confidence, but after seeing so many fantastical things that violently impacted his old worldview, he couldn't guarantee it.

The next moment, the voice that was as innocent as a child, but with a deep sense of tiredness and undisguised pain, sounded again.

"I'm sorry. ”

Gu Xuan looked left and right again, but still couldn't find anything, he was a little panicked in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to continue to ask loudly: "Why are you apologizing, who are you apologizing to?"

And that voice still only vaguely uttered the two same syllables, "I'm sorry", pure Terran language, at least Gu Xuan could understand it.

For a moment, he was a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on or what he should do, but at this moment, the huge body of the sea beast above suddenly shook heavily, causing the entire ship to tremble, and Gu Xuan's body was also crooked, and then he saw a dark, still impenetrable and filthy thing in the sun, as if it was the most evil and disgusting thing in the world, slowly flowing out from behind it.

It was extremely corrosive, and had a unique spirituality that only living beings possessed, and along the way, the hull on the surface of the ship slowly melted, and it looked like a living thing, and it flowed towards the slaves in the cage very purposefully.

Gu Xuan was originally just observing very cautiously, but suddenly, he felt the etheric energy in his body, yes, this was the first time he felt its existence so clearly, as if he had found a hole, and rushed out, so that it gave him a real illusion that body fluids were draining.

Then he saw that the puddle of black liquid began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, like lard under the scorching fire, and when the last bit of liquid disappeared, Gu Xuan collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, he was facing upwards, breathing very quickly and hard, looking like a swimming fish thrown out of the water, being exposed to the scorching sun, and life was passing rapidly every minute.

Uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable!

Because he had already discovered that the way the aether energy was used by him seemed to be completely different from what Adam said, and that his physical body was really absorbing and strengthening himself at a deep level, just like bone marrow, not externally, and could release so-called magic.

And now he is equivalent to the bone marrow being sucked out at once, and in an instant, it is difficult to even stand up, although the outside world is indeed full of aetheric energy that can be freely disposed of, but the speed of his absorption is actually not fast, because this involves a problem of purification, including the earth-attribute aether energy that Adam injected into his body at the beginning, which is also a product after purification and partial assimilation and fusion with metallic aether energy, rather than this rough thing in nature.

This distinction is like the difference between a piece of ore and a sword.

The corpse of the sea beast on the ship was no longer moving, and that strange sound had not sounded again, but after suffering such great damage, the ship had also come to the end of its life, and Gu Xuan could feel that it was sinking slowly, but unstoppably, especially after the surrounding sea water began to pour directly into the gap next to it, the process would only be faster.

So he rolled over with all his might, then clawed his hands and grabbed the ground, moving little by little towards where Adam was.

If Adam had been left in a cage, he would have sunk to the bottom of the sea with the ship, and there would have been no reason to survive, and if he could be released now, he would be able to float up a plank large enough that had been created by the ship's wreckage.

The grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, this is the truth in Gu Xuan's heart, and the reason why there is such a strong desire to repay the favor may be because in his life, the kindness he gets from the world is too little.

Outside, several other ships in the wave of impact just now because of running far, the damage is not big after feeling the movement of the sea beast's struggle has stopped, they all came closer again, in the past they also had the experience of fighting with the sea beast, generally speaking, although the sea beast will also release such a terrible spell as just now, but most of them are just desperate to fight, which is equivalent to a normal person's return to the light, after a move, they will also be greatly injured, not to be afraid.

But because of caution, they still cautiously and slowly approached, because the harpoon was destroyed, and they felt that there were still goods in the ship under the sea beast that could be salvaged, and the sea beast itself was also a treasure, so they were reluctant to use artillery bombardment, but put down a dozen small boats and sailed towards this side.
