Chapter 264: The Sea Monster Strikes
"Bad weather out to sea, you guys worked hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info to help a little within my ability, it's just my personal wish. ”
The big man of the dark world is so easy to talk to, and the old captain Neod, who has been running the ship for many years, has seen it for the first time, and when the words of opposition came to his mouth, he immediately swallowed it with interest.
He immediately waved his hand lightly and asked the second officer and the others to push around, after all, removing the ice shell on the deck was a troublesome matter, and the workload was quite large.
Unbeknownst to him, His Excellency Leotin, Baron of the Death Knell, just walked slowly to the mainmast, lifted the snake's head cane, and slammed it, and the frozen ice crust suddenly centered on the landing point at the end of the cane, spreading out spiderweb-like cracks.
More than a dozen broken ice streaks zigzagged to the sides of the ship, and with a clatter, fine shards of ice burst out, which were blown away by the howling wind. Then the decks, which are slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower on both sides, like the snow on the roof that has melted in early spring, are pouring out in the blink of an eye.
Breathtaking, almost miraculous martial arts, one person can withstand the workload of ten skilled sailors, and the speed is inevitably too fast.
This is the great man of the dark world with extraordinary powers, who can create such an amazing scene with a casual shake of his hands and feet, and the old captain of Neod is uneasy at the same time, but he is also relieved that he has never neglected Lord Leodin before and after going to sea.
Only fools and idiots who don't know the depths will arrogantly raise their chins to look at people, and usually they don't live long. Prudence and restraint are the rules of survival for smart people, and humility is not only a knight's virtue, but also learning to respect is also beneficial to ordinary people.
Removed from the increasingly heavy ice shell on the deck, the Golden Lady rose a little, perhaps because of the illusion that the cold weather had frozen the brain, and the speed of the armed merchant ship seemed to increase slightly.
Knell Baron Leotin will not elaborate, just now with a snake bite sword disguised as a cane to shatter the ice shell, the power of death also caused the various sea creatures that live at the bottom of the Golden Lady to die instantly, getting rid of conch, barnacles, sucker fish and other additional attachments, and the speed increase is an inevitable reality feedback.
"The cumbersome ice shell was temporarily removed, and the ship's speed returned to normal, but unfortunately after a while, the wind and snow will accumulate again, and then the sailors on board will have to work hard. ”
The old captain of the Golden Lady immediately answered, "Everything is on me, and you will surely be satisfied with this journey, Your Excellency Leotin." ”
"It was a cold winter and the weather was much worse than I expected. The planned trip to Coral Island in the Principality of Florida was cancelled and the trip ended up in Savannah, a coastal town at the southern tip of the Principality of the Carolina, which should be safe to dock with the convenience of an ice-free port. ”
Neod was originally worried about the extra burden, but after listening to the guest's new request, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the topic.
"It's wonderful! Madame Gold can be replenished with fresh water and fresh food, and the boatmen and sailors will have time to recuperate. ”
Leotin, who was on a special mission, smiled indifferently, bowed his forehead, and returned to the bottom compartment of the merchant ship, he had no intention of probing the other passengers of the Golden Lady.
Moreover, after being away for a long time, the little ones who stayed in the bilge wooden box may start to be active again, and the mortals outside will inevitably breed a lot of right and wrong, so he can rest assured by watching closely.
Gargoyles cast from steel and slurry from smelting furnaces, in addition to being able to fly, are barren to the mind of a two-year-old baby, and can comprehend four or five brief commands.
"What the hell is Lord Lords thinking, creating a new class of troops, but based on an unfamiliar level of alchemy, a purely experimental one-time consumable. Fortunately, Emmony is already approaching the dragon mound in the Misty Mountains of the Duchy of Hiltern, and the top class of the Undead Legion is about to be born. ”
Remembering that the towering smelting furnaces, the burning coal and water vapor propelled the machinery, even the sluggish zombies, due to the cluster equipped with combined vehicles, transformed into a fast-moving, heavy chariot that can adapt to any terrain, the deceased Leotin felt that his brain was insufficient.
After returning to the cabin, there was a clawing sound from many wooden crates, full of gargoyles' metal claws to make noise with wooden planks, and he coughed and gently raised the snake-biting sword disguised as a walking stick, and the power of bad luck immediately made the disobedient little ones suffer.
The metal rust accelerates the oxidation of the iron claws, the sharp blades are sharply blunted, and even more ruthlessly is the belt that connects the elbows, once it corrodes and decays, and loses the claws of hand-to-hand combat, the reinforced concrete and gargoyles are only left with a mouth full of sharp teeth fixed by screws.
The small turmoil in the bilge dissipated in an instant, and was nipped in the bud by Leotin himself, and he sat on the "throne" made of wooden boxes in disdain, staring ahead, his eyes piercing the wooden planks of the ship's side cabin to see the statue of a woman covered in gold paint and holding a cup in both hands, and then projected into the distance, silently looking at the surrounding sea.
Small chunks of floating ice were crushed by the riveted steel bow as soon as they approached the Golden Madame, and large chunks of ice floes that threatened armed merchant ships were pushed away by dozens of invisible wraiths at a great distance, at least off course.
The howling north wind, blowing the bulging sphere on the soft canvas, and the icy cold current, constantly pushed the Golden Lady southward.
The sailors on the ship alternated three times, and the long day passed, and the sky was gloomy and dim, and the light of the stars and moon could not penetrate the clouds that covered the sky, and the boatmen consciously lowered their sails, and the speed of the ship decreased little by little, and moved slowly by the inertia of the current.
In the dark depths of the ocean, the long-dormant gem squid heard the distant sound of a conch, quietly woke up from a long slumber, slipped off three layers of crystal clear eyelids, opened the one eye that survived the war, and looked at the armed merchant ships gliding in the "sky" not far away.
The Siren Queen's orders must be obeyed, which is also the consciousness of the Hound as Fenahiri, if it were not for her protection, she would have been captured by the long-coveted high-ranking demon warlock, the gravedigger Federus Stix, to be tested and made into a fortress-level war beast.
The jewel squid remembers the days when its tribe flourished, ruling the stormy seas of the desert, but the turbulent years ruined everything and the good old days were gone.
It has been a long time since I have remembered the past mixed with pain and tears, and such an abnormal phenomenon makes the gem squid realize that it has come to a crossroads of fate, and the idea of not obeying orders and being willing to shrink its head to avoid risks is born.
But the sound of the rising and falling conch still sounded, and the Siren Queen Fenahiri was not a good talker, on the contrary, she was extremely strict with her subordinates, and those who violated it were turned to stone by the eternal petrified light of the head of Medusa, and sank to the dim and dull bottom of the sea, allowing the snails and algae to parasitize, and endless regret echoed in the cold rock body.
Just surface, say hello and retreat, believing that you can cope with the errand, and it will be more perfect if you are injured in multiple places.
The gem squid lacks the cunning instincts of a deep-sea hunter, devouring the corpses of the sailors of the crew and adding life wisdom to his otherwise barren brain.
The giant beast hiding at the bottom of the sea staggered away from its nest, its eighteen wrists and feet that were the thickness of its arms and feet working in unison, breaking free from the coral reef that covered its head, and inky shadows gradually rising to the surface of the sea.
The terrifying hostility approached the armed merchant ships, and the whispers of the ghosts of the sea turned into a loud roar, and their warning reminders came in time, and the deceased Leotin noticed it at the first time, and he didn't have time to take the stairs to reach the deck, directly blurring the body of the deceased, and quickly reaching the bow position.
"When...... While...... When!"
The old captain Neoder, who had been dreaming from a deep sleep, was the first to wake up, and he was not affected by the rhythmic sound of the bell, and although his body was too old to compare with that of his youth, he rushed to the rudder first.
The untidy sailors ran to the deck hand and foot, and from time to time the results of de-icing appeared, and even if they stepped barefoot on the deck, they would not fall.
However, before they realized the approaching danger, they confided in the passengers who had sounded the alarm "for no reason", and although they knew his status and status, they did not prevent the grumpy sailors from lowering their voices and swearing.
"Stupid mortals, don't you know I'm saving your lives?"
Leotin did not surrender his identity and scolded, and turned his head to look at the old captain Neod, the staff had lost its usual disguise and returned to the body of the snake's bite sword.
The Golden Lady had been surrounded by the shadow of the jewel squid, and the tentative two wrists and feet came to the deck along the left and right sides of the ship, and Leotin sent out a ray of negative energy from his left hand, and the dark green phosphorus fire splashed in all directions, illuminating the faces of all the sailors that instantly turned blue.
The snake bite sword in his right hand was thrown violently, piercing a huge sucker of his wrist and foot, and the decaying poison and decaying aura made the fresh wound worsen in an instant, and the festering continued to spread in all directions.
Not surprisingly, this wrist and foot injured by the bad luck metal will continue to corrode, and the fierce poison will spread throughout the body along the circulation of bodily fluids.
It's a pity that the gem squid is too big, and the giant beast of the sea, which does not lack wisdom, makes a choice in an instant, hides at the bottom of the sea, and wraps a part of the injured body around the prepared wrists and feet, like a fierce poisonous snake, and instantly strangulates the life-threatening necrotic parts.
The still intact but untidy section, the stinking sapphire blue blood gushed out, but then the strong contraction of the muscles pressed the blood vessels, and the stop loss was withdrawn in time.
The sailors on the deck of the armed merchant ship cheered in unison as Leaudin repelled the first temptation of the unknown sea beast, but under the restraint of the old captain Neoder, they quickly returned to normal and immediately returned to their respective posts.
Whale hunting guns, double-strand harpoons, improvised ship-mounted ballistas, and the well-known first mate even took out a flintlock pistol with a short handle from his personal collection, and unhurriedly tore open the cardboard shell medicine packet, poured granular gunpowder, compacted it, and poured it into a handful of iron bullets like fish roe.
The second temptation of the jewel squid, four wrists and feet came out together, wet with suckers wrapped in cold seawater, slid over the ship's side railing, and the ordinary hardwood texture could not withstand the continuous crushing, and began to taut and crack.
The sneak attacker's true body did not appear, and Leotin did not use his hole cards, and the five fingers of his left hand flicked continuously, sending out five curses of weakness, decay, tremor, severe pain, and illusion, and a dark quintet issued by using low-level curse techniques.
With a clench in his right hand, he retrieved the snakebite sword that was about to slide into the sea—the improvised wraiths of the sea did not dare to touch the sword made of bad luck metal, grabbed a slippery wrist and foot and wrapped it around the mainmast, and slashed it violently.
The tentacles of the squid that were thick and thin, although the slippery skin was as thick as a palm, were still invisible under the edge of the snake's bite sword, and were cut into two sections with a flat cross-section.
The severed wrist and foot detached from its body twisted and bounced, but the rotting nature quickly caused it to lose its vitality.
The other sailors were not idle, and the two whale guns fired violently almost broke the wrist and foot volleys of the gem squid, and the harpoon and sailor's scimitar took the opportunity to tear the broken wound into an open section.
Both attempts were in vain, and even if they were to run away with a single shot, they greatly angered the dignity of one of the overlords of the Stormsea and wanted to force the armed merchant ship to the bottom of the sea, leaving all mortals who offended it to drown.
Twelve brachiopods burst out of the water, like a blooming king konjac, emitting the stench of death, announcing the sinister omen of the Golden Lady's sinking into the abyss.
