Chapter 51: Kindness is not brainless
About half a month had passed, during which time the merchant ships had stopped in Crete to buy and sell goods and supplies, and after a few days of sailing, they had now reached the coast of Egypt.
On this day, at night, the merchant ships would arrive in Alexandria, Egypt, which, of course, is not yet called. Ley, along with Godric, Salazar, Rowena, and Helga, ended their stay in the cabin and went up to the deck of the ship to see the sea. But suddenly, they felt the breath of a powerful creature swimming rapidly in the direction of the boat.
The water rolled up, and a dark shadow could be faintly seen beneath the surface, a strange creature with crocodile-like leather armor and a whale-like appearance. It is about one-third the length of this merchant ship, and when it opens its mouth, it can even see sharp teeth, so it is not a species to be messed with.
"Oh my God, no." Li Yi and the crew next to them exclaimed in surprise, he looked at this strange sea creature in horror, trembling all over, and the fear was about to overflow from his body.
"How could you come across such a thing! How could it be! Another middle-aged crew member shouted, his voice full of incredulity, "Crocodile! It turned out to be an alligator! Shouldn't this monster only appear at the mouth of the Nile? How did it end up here? ”
"It turned out to be crocodile whales, no wonder they were scared to be like this." Hearing the "crocodile whales" in the terrified screams of these crew members, Rowena immediately understood why they were so afraid. She explained to her companions:
"Crocodile whales, so named because they have the size and shape of a whale and the crocodile-like skin. Legend has it that snapping turtles were descendants of Isis, the patron goddess of Egypt, and that they would go on a rampage attacking the ships of the strangers until they sank. Before the official large-scale exchange between the European continent and Egypt, quite a few ships were destroyed by crocodiles. ”
Speaking of this, a curious look appeared on Rowena's face, and then Li Yi and the others heard her say:
"However, as time went on, and the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians communicated more and more frequently, the legendary powerhouses and the guardian goddess Isis had come to an agreement that all the crocodiles should have migrated to the mouth of the Nile. Why is there an alligator whale here today? ”
Obviously, Rowena was very curious about this matter, and her pursuit of knowledge made her develop a good habit of breaking the casserole and asking questions.
"That'...... Will this alligator attack us? Helga asked her companions, in fact she was knowingly asking, as she had the strongest sense of good and evil in living things, and the hostility of the crocodile whale in her perception was extremely obvious.
But Helga, who was good-natured, still wanted the crocodile to leave, because she really didn't want to see the senseless killing. So she unleashed her magic and wanted to appease the crocodile. Li Yi didn't bother her, and was going to see what happened after her shot.
"Psychic Link!" Helga stretched out his slender right hand and slowly drew a magic circle in the air, and his index finger tapped on the center of the magic array, and the magic array was instantly activated, turning into a ray of light and engraved on the crocodile whale's head.
This is a kind of magic that Helga has researched these days, and the attack power is almost none, but it has other magical effects, and she can use this magic to make herself feel the joys and sorrows of the linked object, but I heard her say that this magic is not perfect, and she can work towards being able to really communicate with each other in the future.
"Roar...... Roar! As soon as she connected, the alligator's chaotic consciousness hit Helga's mind, causing her to take several steps back. Because her mind couldn't be condensed again in a short period of time, the spirit link imprint she had just had just made disappeared after a while.
"Helga! How are you? What just happened? Seeing that their companions' magic failed, Li Yi and the others also hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Rowena held up Helga, who was still on his feet.
"I'm fine, it's just that the alligator's emotions just hit me. It seems to have lost its spirituality, and its mind is filled with the desire to kill and destroy. It is no longer possible to avoid fighting. Helga shook his head, and his grip on Rowena's shoulder finally stabilized.
At this time, the crocodile whale has been getting closer and closer to the merchant ship, and the sailors on the merchant ship who know the meaning of the crocodile whale are afraid to even move, and the current ship is still far from the shore, and there are crocodiles in the water, the top hunter of the ocean. Once the boat was hit and sunk by an alligator, no one survived. Of course, this is also because they don't know the combat power of Li Yi and the others, so they think that they are hopeless.
In fact, crocodiles are not so scary for the truly strong, and adult crocodiles can easily deal with just high-level warriors or wizards. Only the king of the crocodile clan can compete with the peak combat power of high-level warriors.
Of course, for this kind of small merchant ship, one of the strongest combat forces is a mid-level warrior named David, who can't handle the adult crocodile whale in front of him who has lost his mind and is not afraid of death. So, now it seems that the fate of the merchant ship is only to sink.
Looking at the panicked people around them, some of them wailed and cried when they heard that they could barely survive, and they were on the verge of collapse; Some people barely maintain their sanity and think about ways to survive; Some people seem to accept the reality and just quietly look at the sky and the sea......
Looking at the performance of the people on the boat, Li Yi shook his head and said to his companions: "I'll go and get rid of this crocodile whale." It just so happens that I'm about to advance to the next level, and now I want to test my combat power. ”
For so many days, Godric and the others were not naturally coarse, and they also knew what Li Yi was special about, of course, they just regarded Li Yi's strong defense as a powerful blessing, similar to Badr, the god of light in the Norse god system.
In Norse mythology, Badr dreamed of the shadow of death, and his mother, Friggya, was so worried that she traveled all over the world asking all things to swear that they would not harm him.
She succeeded, and only a mistletoe seedling so weak that even ordinary people could not hurt did not swear, and then the gods took up arms and threw them at Badr in celebration, and sure enough, none of them could hurt the god of light. Unfortunately, the god of light was later killed by the god of fire with the mistletoe seedling, and since then he has fallen.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the four people who knew about this matter thought of Li Yi's situation as a powerful blessing, and now Li Yi wanted to try his hand at the crocodile, and no one objected. Even the kindest Helga did not object. After all, people are about to come and kill you and your companions, can you sit still and wait for death?
What we need to do now is, of course, not to talk nonsense, but to get to work. What's more, this crocodile whale is not even human. Kindness doesn't mean no intelligence, okay.
