Chapter 172: Go First

In the face of the overwhelming momentum, I saw that Ai Zheqin was not in a hurry, his right hand wearing two amplification rings was slightly raised, and the magic array that had been prepared for a long time suddenly activated, and a wall of wind condensed into substance suddenly formed in the compression of the air current. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, at the four corners of the cannon's mouth, the fire element that burst apart was pulled and condensed by the power of the magic circle, and in just an instant, four three-ring fire rushing techniques were formed, and under the control of Ai Zheqin, they simultaneously attacked the menacing boulder. The four fire rushes hit almost the same point, and the blazing flames bloomed in this world of rainstorm and sea.

In the explosion, the stone that was enough to smash a large hole in the wall of the ship was shattered in this way, although the momentum was unabated, but there was no initial terrifying kinetic energy, countless large and small fragments hit the wind shield, and then were bounced down by the indestructible air current, and fell into the sea.

After blocking this deadly attack, the advanced wind shield technique generated by the magic array finally ran out of energy and began to dissipate rapidly.

"These sea clans won't give up, I'm afraid they'll have to rely on magic scrolls next time. Although he repelled the boulders that hit him in the sea, Ai Zheqin's expression was not much soothed, "Foiling the war whales is the key to blocking their attack on the deck, and in this environment where the sea is all sea, even the fire rush technique cannot cause damage to this sea beast, only the sixty-pound iron bullets of the ship's guns are effective, the key to the victory or defeat of this trial lies in these two guns, they must not be occupied or destroyed, otherwise we have no power to resist." ”

"The artillery thing, wrapped up in me, regimental commander. ”

The shirtless man who controlled the cannon laughed, used his left and right hands together, and with great skill, pulled the breech of both guns at the same time and cleaned the ashes, and then filled the muzzle of the gun, which was still emitting hot smoke, and put in the projectile, the whole process took less than a minute, and in this constantly turbulent environment. After making these preparations, it inserted a fuse into the two guns as it had just done, lit them, and then pulled them into two war whales in different directions.

Two more cannon shots rang out, and one of the two giant beasts floating on the surface of the water was shot through the stomach and stained a large area of sea water red in the churning, while the other was impartially hit on the head by a solid iron bullet, and after a few struggles, it remained motionless and slowly sank.

"Cool!"

The strong man roared, and through the small cannon port, everyone around him could clearly see that as several war whales were severely damaged, the sea tribe gray fish people on their bodies were also sprinkled everywhere like ants, constantly churning waves.

At that moment, from behind the lower stairs of the cabin, a blood-stained and embarrassed member of the Trial Troupe rushed up.

"Captain Ai Zheqin, the situation in the bottom warehouse is getting worse and worse, there are too many sea clans, and the seventh team has been completely wiped out! We have retreated to defend the secondary cabin, Mr. Chai Lindsell asks you to go down and discuss. ”

"I know, the first team stays here, continue to protect the artillery, don't spare your magic scrolls and equipment, all the members of the second team, follow me to the bottom warehouse for reinforcements!"

"By the way, Captain Ai Zheqin......"

"Anything else?"

"Yes, there is a female member of the third team missing, named Erin, who seems to be the first member of the trial group, this happened before the Sea Clan attacked, but we didn't realize it until just now, it's really ashamed. ”

"Oh, what about Reinhardt, who of you have ever met him?"

"There is no one, he may still stay in the rest compartment and not come out, this ship is too big, I am afraid there are hundreds of rooms in the cabin on the fourth floor, we don't have the time to go one by one......"

"Okay, the top priority is to support the bottom warehouse, and let the rest of the things go first. ”

"Understood!"

A few minutes later, the lowest cabin.

The magic apprentices who stayed on the deck and happily farmed monsters had no idea how much the deck had sunk in just half an hour, nor did they know what state the ship was floating in the storm, and they didn't know that if it weren't for the main force of the Trial Regiment to keep the Sea Clan from the bottom of the ship out, the entire ship might have fallen long ago.

There are four levels of cabins below deck, each separated by a completely waterproof shack, and when Ezchel returned to the third deck with the members of the second team, the ground here was already soaked with a foot of water, that is, the fourth deck, which was the deepest under his feet, had been filled with seawater at this time. Affected by the flooding, the ship's waterline has risen, and the third floor of the cabin, which was originally only more than half submerged in the water, has completely entered the sea level, and only a foggy color can be seen through the waterproof observation port of the bulkhead.

The hatches leading to the fourth floor were closed, but there was still a constant stream of water coming up from the gaps, and the color of the water was reddish from the blood of the gray fishmen.

"It's not too bad, at least we're guarding the doors. ”

Ai Zheqin nodded.

The members of the trial group present were all gathered together, there were nearly forty people, their bodies exuded the aura of battle, and the aura of magic lingered around them, but the atmosphere seemed to be a little heavy.

"Mr. Ezchen, we have lost 18 members, and if we continue like this, it is only a matter of time before the third layer becomes as lost as the fourth. Seeing Ezegchen's arrival, the taciturn Chai Lindsell said slowly, "Do you hear the corrosive sound from under your feet, they have started to use dissolving monsters against the cabin splint again, we need to change our strategy." ”

"So Chai Lin, what is your opinion?"

"This is the home of the Sea Clan, where there is sea water they can have an absolute advantage, and we only have this ship, and defeat is only a matter of time. ”

"Yes, I've heard that the Sea Clan will never give up their prey, as long as they are in the sea. "As in the previous final trials, we still haven't been given any hints on what to do, and the only goal is to live longer and perform better, but I don't think it's a great performance to fight to the last moment with this ship, and now that the Sea Clan has appeared, we have to find a way to defeat it." ”

"It's not easy. ”

"St. Peter's ultimate trial, it's normal that it's not easy, Challinsale, have the cabins of this ship been carefully searched?"

"In time, only the deck and the bottom compartment have been searched, and no valuable clues have been found. ”

"Then keep searching, from this level, we don't have much time, but it's worth it, those Magisters who make trials, can't just give us an empty ship with nothing. ”

A few minutes later.

"Prepare for battle, the cabin splint doesn't last half an hour like the bottom of the ship!"

The "hiss" of the corroded wooden planks is getting closer and closer, and no one dares to stand on the ground anymore, because there is no telling when the severely corroded silos may crack due to overwhelm.

The water ingress is getting worse and worse, and in such a giant ship, the process cannot be stopped without the help of a magic pump.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a burst of bubbles and white smoke rose from the central shackle, and with a pungent sour smell, a small hole appeared and gradually expanded, and out of it came a green creature that had been soft and strange.

The Sea Clan's corrosive monsters can secrete corrosive fluids that can erode the ship's wood in a short period of time, although thanks to them, the ships that go to sea have gradually evolved into steel shells, but at least the ships that the trialists are on are not, so it is still easy to use. As soon as this slimy monster emerged from the water, it was attacked by a large number of elemental bullets, and various light and shadow effects reflected the churning water surface in the cabin, but it was a pity that it was half a meter underwater, and the wind blade and fire tongue could not help it, so it could only shrink back in fright if it wanted to get into the cabin.

The corrosion continued, apparently in the bilge of the third deck, where there was far more than one corrosive monster.

Soon, holes in the ground appeared, and through the deep waters, the members of the Trial Order seemed to be able to see a large number of restless figures in the cabin of the lower floor.

"Prepare for battle, hold here for ten minutes, and then evacuate to the second deck. ”

"Yes!"

The members of the two teams stood on a high place, guarding the two hatches that led to the upper deck, the elemental shields were already ready, and the attack magic of each team was ready to be used.

The silence lasted for a short time, and in the hole in the bilge, which had been swallowed by water for a long time, one after another gray fish mermaids rushed in, and from time to time there were several water monsters in the shape of sea snakes.

The water magic was the first to attack, and under the control of the three magic apprentices, many whirlpools of different sizes were generated in the cracked cabin hole, and these conflicting turbulences stirred up the gray fish people who were charging towards the water, and the formation was disrupted for a while, but after all, it did not cause any substantial damage - even with the increase in the marine environment, it was really too difficult to kill the sea tribe by relying on the three-ring water magic.

"Condense ice crystals!"

With a loud shout, several other members of the trial group who had already prepared inserted their hands into the seawater, and the ice threads poured out in a radial shape, but unfortunately, this process was not fast, under the suppression of the remaining magic apprentices' wind blade technique and fire tongue technique, two minutes passed, except for the formation of a thin layer of ice on the surface of the water, it did not form a degree that could effectively block the attack of the sea tribe, on the contrary, those sea tribes kept trying to land in the water, and planned to emerge, as more and more new sea tribes drilled in, this trend has become more and more difficult to stop。

But the ultimate purpose of ice magic is not to stop it.

"Erupt!"

Another shout came from the crowd.

At that time, several magic apprentices who were heavily protected and concentrated on turning seawater into ice crystals increased their mana at the same time, and the radial ice crystals around their hands suddenly shattered and exploded like hedgehogs - from the very beginning, they had no intention of sealing the sea, with the strength of the magic apprentices, this was a fantasy, what they were doing was just freezing the sea water into ice picks, and the ice on the sea level was just an add-on to the condensation of the sea when it encountered low temperatures.

Due to the resistance of the water, the Wind Blade and the Fire Rush could not pose a threat to the underwater targets at all, and the Sea Clan gathered in the bilge, but as long as they did not come out, the magic apprentices above could not help them at all. However, if the physical ice picks in the water are launched like this, they will be blocked by the current if they fly two or three meters, but the magicians who created them have added continuous power to them, so that as long as they maintain a slow speed, they can cause mass kills that cannot be ignored, like a sharp dagger.

The icicles were colorless, and the underwater flight was silent, but after about five seconds, the magic apprentices standing on the surface of the water saw the blood that burst from the bodies of the gray fish men, and their desperate and confused struggles.

However, more Greyfish Men are still burrowing into the hole, and they seem endless......

At the same time, on the second deck, Ai Zheqin was holding an open letter, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Are you sure you found it where Reinhardt stayed?"

Directly opposite him, the member of the trial group did not dare to look up at him: "It's in the cabin over there, the cabin is covered with ice crystals, a hole has been cut in the wall of the ship and then blocked with ice, Prince Reinhardt has obviously left the ship!"

"Take me there. ”

When Ai Zheqin said these four words, although he was still calm and light, he did not lose his bearing, but there was obviously a little anger in his expression. (To be continued.) )
