Chapter 33: Strange Singing
While the three of them were discussing, a faint mist suddenly rose on the sea.
The fog came quickly, obscuring the skyline for a moment, and then enveloping the two ships inside.
"I felt the mana fluctuate, and it seemed like those guys finally couldn't sit still. Xiao Chen turned his head to look at the side of the Houyi, and he said, "It's the south, something is coming." ”
Xiao Chen unleashed a mage's eye, and the fog obscured the effect of the mage's eye, allowing those unknown enemies who were slowly approaching to hide behind the fog and not be detected.
Huang Zheng rushed to the deck and reported: "Before the fog covered up, Lin Lichuan vaguely saw something similar to a ship approaching us from a position of about ten nautical miles. But it was still too far away, and even from the mage's eyes, they were black spots, not clear, and they were soon obscured by the fog. But he roughly estimated their speed, because they were going in opposite directions, and if we hadn't slowed down, we would have met them in about ten minutes. ”
Xiao Chen quickly returned to the bridge with everyone, and said to the captain Ma Anmin, who was waiting for the battle: "Order the Xingtian to move closer to us and prepare to carry out the first set of defense plans." ”
Ma Anmin was the same model boat enthusiast, and when there was no reliable seafaring talent in the Tower of China, he was placed in the captaincy of the Houyi, and the captain of the Xingtian, Yin Mocheng, was the son of a fisherman, and he was elected only because he had been on his father's fishing boat a few times during the summer vacation. Fortunately, their captain and boatswain were all recruited veteran sailors with sailing experience, and Jerez and others were assigned positions to help them control the ship. Jerez is now the co-captain of the Houyi.
Ma Anmin issued an order through the internal communication array: "Attention all departments, the first set of defense plans is now undertaken. The power output of the hedron power room is reduced by half, the shield squad is ready to open the defensive force field, and the gun squad enters the combat position and opens the gun door. The Marines took their positions on the upper deck, and the Magic and Martial Arts Advisors returned to their respective posts......"
So under the command of the captains of the two battleships, they began to get closer, and the gun doors opened one after another, revealing the pneumatic guns inside, and a layer of white light curtain that seemed to be there enveloped the two battleships, not only covering the area above the battleships, but also the part below the waterline.
Although this layer of defense is not as good as the city defense barrier, it is still much stronger than the ordinary mage shield, and it is now only in a state of basic activation, and once the enemy's attack starts, it will be upgraded to a higher intensity.
Although these personnel were all new to the navy, they were all veterans with combat experience, and after the order was given, it took only ten minutes to complete the combat preparations.
However, when Xiao Chen looked out, the surroundings were still wrapped in mist, and there was no trace of any enemies.
Jerez looked very grim and said: "I have only heard of this situation today, but I have not personally encountered it.
I'm afraid that these people who create fog are not simple, and only mermaid mages can do this by using fog to obscure their vision, and it usually happens in the battles of the Grand Fleet. The Sea Clan's ranged attacks are much worse than humans, so they will rely on these methods to get close to our fleet.
But the average small tribe pirate doesn't have this ability. There aren't any big islands nearby, so I'm afraid these people are here specifically for us!"
Although Xiao Chen's face was serious, he was not too nervous. He said, "That's just right, I want to meet the best of them." ”
Just when Xiao Chen's fleet was ready for battle, the enemy never approached, but instead came from behind the fog wisps of singing.
The song is melodious and graceful, like crying, and the melody is very different from the music on the mainland, with a strange but seductive rhythm.
When Xiao Chen heard this voice, he found that his mental power fluctuations had become calm, and he actually felt a little sleepy. Startled in his heart, he hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power, swept through his body, and then formed a barrier outside his body to isolate the vibration of the air.
But he found that although the sound was a little less effective, he still had that tune in his head.
He realized that this was a spiritual attack launched by the other party, not only with real sound waves, but also with the spiritual magic of direct attack consciousness, and the opponent's attack could make him feel a little sleepy as a peak great magician of the spirit department, and his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
But when Xiao Chen was ready, the strange singing voice had no effect on him.
Xiao Chen looked up and looked around, Luo Ling and Umeda Tian were fine, as if they were just free from the effects of magic like him.
Huang Zheng's condition was a little worse, he also realized his problem, and he couldn't cheer up immediately for a while, he decisively raised his right hand and slapped himself, waking himself up all of a sudden.
Although Lin Lichuan's realm was not as good as Huang Zheng, he was like no one else, and he squeezed his eyes hard and came to his senses.
Once they are high-level mages and above, once they are completely free from the influence of singing, they will no longer fall into the effect of singing.
But the rest of the room was completely different, and some of them had fallen asleep without noticing the singing at all.
Others noticed the anomaly in their singing voices and were struggling to support it. Some people spread their eyes with their hands, and some people hit themselves in the face like Huang Zheng.
But as long as the strength is below the intermediate level, it will be difficult to resist the power of this song, and eventually it will gradually fall asleep.
Most of those above the middle level need to mobilize their spiritual power to fight against each other, and their combat ability will naturally drop significantly.
For example, Jerez's body erupted with blue fighting energy, but the fighting energy had limited effect on his resistance to this sound, and he held the table with both hands, looking shaky.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly cast a noise barrier on the ship, blocking the physical sound waves first.
Then he and Luo Ling used their mental power to stimulate those who fell, but it didn't have much effect.
Umedada said: "The person who shot is at least a great magician, and there must be a powerful holy weapon in his hand, which can make people fall into a deep sleep. Otherwise, if ordinary people had entered a state of coma and were stimulated by mental power, they would have woken up long ago. We have to use a more intense way of stimulating. ”
As soon as Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, more than a dozen silver-white whips flew out from his open fingers, and the master-level spiritual whip was drawn towards the bodies of those around him, and the spiritual whip fell, and both the awake and the sleeping people let out a miserable scream.
The eyes of those people who had already closed were all opened violently, so that Luo Ling saw this opportunity and immediately cast a spiritual shield, which combined with Xiao Chen's soundproof barrier, and finally resisted the other party's singing attack.
