"We crossed the Strait of Calidos directly...... This saves a few days of sailing to Somnus!"

"Are you serious, that place!!"

The crowd on deck of the Goshawk was discussing how to continue the voyage, and Lemuel objected to his reckless approach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Unfortunately, we don't have much time, and the elusive Heart of the Ocean will most likely leave Somnus in a few days, so make a decision, Captain August. Melva analysed the current situation and asked Shoey for his opinion.

After careful consideration, Shoey finally decided to cross the Strait of Calidos and encouraged the crew to set sail in good spirits......

Hours passed, and it was dusk, and in this turbulent sea of reefs, the Goshawk sailed back into the waters of Calidos in the wind and waves, and passed through the looming reefs, for which Nabal at the helm did not dare to let up, Raguil guided him at the lookout, and Lemuel and Samuel led the sailors on deck to stabilize the sails, a scene that seemed to outsiders to be a man of the sea......

While everyone on deck was busy, the people in the captain's room, which was also in turmoil, seemed to be completely accustomed to this dynamic, and the topic of monsters in the sea was being discussed.

"Remember what Ganif mentioned about Tiklabia, I think that the shipwrecks we encountered the day before yesterday were born of it, and this dark water is its habitat. ”

During the discussion, Melva mentioned Ticalabia, and there were different opinions on this, and Sieg did not know where to start, so he had to stabilize Shoy first, saying, "According to the wolf...... Ticalabia is a mutated giant starfish that has earned the nickname of the Drowning Core for a long time by devouring the bodies of the drowning and brewing shipwrecked spirits in its body, but it is only the weakest of the Seven Sea Monsters, and it should have a chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation, right?"

"It's just a starfish...... I really want to pick it up and cook it, but I don't know if I can eat it......" Mo Tea interjected jokingly.

"What are you kidding, stupid! At present, there are only fourteen sailors except for the three former members of the Goshawk Regiment, and they are legendary monsters after all......" She complained angrily, staring at her so much that she didn't dare to mix it up blindly.

And Melva took out a few special crossbows of special material structure mechanical crossbow from the backpack she carried, only to see that the arrows were engraved with strange runes, giving people a feeling of suffocation, seeing the eyes around her gradually change, she explained: "This is the product of the perfect combination of spells and cold weapons, the Holy Sect's Demon Sealing Arrow." It is able to restrain the target without destroying it, and although it can only work on enemies other than flesh and blood, it is best used to seal the drowned, and once we have eliminated enough of them, it is possible for Ticalabia to emerge from the sea. At that time, all it takes is someone to break its core, and we will do nothing to the ocean. ”

"It is estimated that the drowning spirits will only come out at night, and we still need to wait for the sky to completely darken, so let's assign the work to those sailors during this time!~" Kagami still smiled and suggested, and Xiao Yi agreed with him, and began to plan the next battle plan......

Moments later, the captain's quarters had been converted into a makeshift command post and the oil lamps were lit in advance, while the Goshawk waited for night to fall on the sea, and the meeting began when Nabal was summoned to open the door......

A drawing board used to record the route was depicted on the Goshawk's deck structure and cabin distribution, and a tactical arrangement began under Shoey's arrangement.

"We will sail in the Strait of Calidos again tonight, and based on the previous encounter, it is estimated that we will be attacked by drowning spirits again during the night, and while protecting ourselves, we must catch them all and finally destroy their source......, the starfish!

Xiao Yi pointed to the cabins on the lower deck in order, and said to everyone: "According to the knowledge granted by my Sige's strange knife, the drowning spirits can directly enter the cabin through the walls of our ship, but they can't drag us into the water through the walls, so it's safe to stay in the surrounding cabins at first...... So...... So Sig and Mocha waited in the cabin with all the rest of the crew for the drowning to enter the lower deck, then rushed out of the cabin and scattered them with crossbows or spears, understand?"

"I thought you'd let me do something important, Captain...... I didn't expect to hide behind with this kid......" After getting the order, Mo Cha smiled bitterly.

"Stupid! Does he know that he is the deputy commander? When the time comes, you will have to listen to Xige's arrangement, I want to believe that he can command everyone well!"

Sieg nodded on the side, and Xiao Yi continued to point to the four shooting platforms on the lower deck and said, "Fly heads, you take those three people who eat white rice to the firing ports on the lowest deck and stare at the sea near them with the newly added ballista, and shoot explosive arrows once you find that Dikarabia, understand?"

"It's too easy! leave it to me!" Narbal patted his chest and asked, "In that case...... What is the captain going to do?"

"This one...... According to the strange knife, flesh and blood can't kill undead spirits, and I brought some silver-plated bullets, and Sister Melva has that too...... Seal the Demon Arrow! This way you can really kill these drowned spirits!"

Melva then threw a whistle at Shoy and blew a screeching sound, and when the crowd was overwhelmed by the deafening noise, she commanded: "When you hear such a whistle, hurry up to the deck and help us, or the two of us will not be able to withstand it." ”

"It doesn't seem that it is difficult! Destroying the sea monster is a feat, maybe it can add more to my biography!"

Nabal shouted, and everyone present was encouraged, and in the light they raised their swords in preparation for tonight's encounter.

After a tense and long wait, an hour passed, and the night finally covered the sea, visibility was reduced to a minimum, dozens of torches were lit on the Goshawk's spacious deck, and a misty drizzle began to fall in the sky, accompanied by a chilling night breeze that swept over the main deck......

Fourteen sailors on deck, armed with short axes and heavy crossbows, were divided into groups and led by Sieg and Mocha into the lower cabins, Melva climbed to the lookout and scanned the water around the ship, and the horrific wrecked spirits resurfaced above the sea, and gradually approached the Goshawk.

"Almost! Ogst, tell them to move!"

She shouted from the lookout as a warning to everyone on the deck, Nabal and the three attendants looked at each other, quickly entered the ship and ran to the firing platform on the lower deck, Xiao Yi loaded the magazines of both guns with silver bullets in a nervous manner, adjusted his mind to guard the surrounding situation, and waited for the moment when the drowning horde attacked the ship......

A few minutes later, there was a not-so-strong vibration from the bottom of the ship, as if something had been adsorbed under the ship, and the group of drowning spirits unexpectedly entered the lower warehouse through the bottom of the ship, ignoring the third floor of Nabal and the others continued to walk up to the bottom of the main deck, and began to float around.

When the mournful voices of the drowning spirits echoed in the ship, Sig immediately made a decision to attack, Mo Cha led the sailors from the surrounding cabins to kill, Sig also swung his knife to join the battle, in an instant, the sword flashed, crossbow arrows, spears, and throwing axes hit indiscriminately, but this group except for Sige's wolf knife can completely kill the drowning spirits, no one else can effectively get rid of them, but only scattered dozens of drowned spirits, so that these troublesome ghosts temporarily withdrew from the battle, but unfortunately the drowning spirits continued to emerge from under the deck, and everyone had no choice but to wave their weapons again to face the battle.

At the same time as the lower level was attacked, a fierce battle also broke out on the deck, Shoey jumped up from the deck, spun in the air and fired continuously in all directions, Melva occupied the commanding heights and used the sealing arrow to quickly and easily shoot through all the drowning spirits around him, because of the effect of the sealing arrow, the evil spirits could no longer attack, and were sealed in the air and could not move, while Xiao Yi took the opportunity to completely destroy them with silver bullets.

"That's the end of it!?"

"Don't worry about these guys for now, there won't be a second wave of attacks until they're all gone, unless ......"

When the two of them were puzzled, a loud noise came, the hull of the ship was hit by something and shook violently, everyone in the ship fell due to loss of balance, in front of a shooting table on the lower floor, the angry Nabal rolled and stood up, and a corner of some terrible monster appeared outside the shooting platform in front of him, so he quickly put his head out of the shooting ring and looked down, but the terrible thing disappeared under the sea in just a few seconds......

"Damn! I missed it! Lemuel!!" he pushed open the door, and Lemuel also heard the summons and the other two come to him, and the surroundings were very calm, and there was no terrible call of the drowning group, which made them feel strange, so they went up to the upper floor to meet Sieg and the others, Sieg said that after repelling several waves of drowning spirits, he regained his calm, and finally decided to advise Shoey to prepare to set sail, but the hull of the ship was again struck by some object and swayed, and everyone was on alert again.

Shoey and Melva quickly ran to the side of the ship and looked down, and found a large triangle that had struck the hull and sunk into the water, but after a few seconds the other triangle had crashed into the ship, and after a few repetitions, the right side of the Goshawk began to crack and dented inward.

Nabal in the ship immediately pulled the mechanism to put away the baffle, and the huge triangle crashed directly into the ship, and was stuck and unable to move, and everyone felt extremely sick to the big horn in front of them, which was full of small mouths and silt, crawling with sea creatures, and like a solid stone, and hurried to surround it.

"Hurry up and get it out of the boat! Is there any eyes on this thing, what are you doing stupidly looking at it!?" The sailors around him did not move, and Xiao Yi was not calm, and took the lead in stepping forward and kicking it violently.

In this way, everyone quickly changed into the heaviest weapons at hand, and Nabal then struck a heavy blow with his foot axe and burst out sparks on his tentacles, and the special effect of the impact tomahawk also produced a powerful shock wave, which was enough to shatter the rock, causing Ticabia to squirm, and the stone-like body suddenly collapsed, and then it was slashed by the sailors' long axes, and the corner of the huge starfish stuck in the ship had obvious wounds, and green blood flowed in the cabin.

"It's time for a real trick! Get out of the way if you have moisture on your body!"

As soon as the purple light appeared, Sig held the purple lightning wrapped in the wolf and rushed forward a few steps, Nabal hurriedly retreated to the side with the soaked sailor, when he slashed at the tentacles, the terrible destructive power of the purple lightning instantly blasted it into charcoal, and a natural aroma of seafood being roasted permeated the surroundings, Ti Calabia began to tremble and drove the hull of the ship to shake together, Nabar saw this and raised the axe again to hit the charred tentacles, and finally chopped off the soft part, and the rest of the body broke free from the hull and returned to the sea......

"It's disgusting, it smells good, though...... everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Tea kicked aside the scorched starfish tentacles with his feet, and the green blood on the floor was cleaned, and there was a whistling sound from the deck just as they thought they had repelled Tycalabia......

Shoy and Melva hurried back to the deck, where a dark wind hit them, and the pungent stench of corpses hit them, and as they covered their noses with the stench, a sea serpent flew in front of them and bared its venomous fangs......

"Danger!!" Melva pushed Shoy away, showed the sharp knife at the heel of his leather boots and kicked off the head of the sea snake, Shoy also quickly recovered and raised his gun to look around, and found that a giant starfish the same size as the goshawk gradually floated on the sea, and the multi-colored cortex covered with silt protected its body, although one of the five tentacles was damaged, it did not affect the activities of the other four, in the center of the body, a bloody mouth densely covered with several layers of sharp teeth released a shocking stench, and hidden in the deep giant mouth was its core, and from time to time there were drowning spirits flying out of the mouth......

A shrill noise sounded, Shoey blew the whistle, and everyone below deck came to the deck, looking at Tikalabia on the sea in the distance, most of them were stunned......

Sig waved the wolf and shouted, "Cheer up!!Don't forget that it also has weaknesses, we only need to break its core to solve it, and take the courage to fight again!!"

"Fight!We can't die here!!"

"You want us to be in the company of those dead ghosts!!"

The sailors' fighting spirit was regained, and everyone began to prepare for the battle, Nabal took Lemuel and others to the bottom to attack with ballistas, Mo Cha put away the scimitar and took the heavy crossbow handed to him by the nearby sailors, Melva re-boarded the lookout and sniped with a mechanical crossbow, Shoy reloaded his twin guns and aimed at the distant Ticabia with a wine barrel as cover, while Sieg ordered the sailors to load the giant crossbow, and put the throwing guns, longbows and other weapons on the deck for switching uses.

Another wave of stench hit, and Ticalabia spat out a large amount of gooey from its mouth and flew to the deck of the Goshawk, and one of the sailors who had no time to dodge was hit and corroded, and soon turned to bones.

"Dissolved liquid...... Why is there no damage to the deck, it seems that we only need to hide in a hidden spot, that kind of thing can only dissolve flesh and blood!Everyone leans on the side of the ship!!" After Sieg gave the order, all the sailors hid under the railing of the side of the ship, and in the distance, Tikarabia lost his target and slid on the surface of the sea, and came to a position of a few meters on the side of the ship.

"Raguil! Shoot quickly!!"

Taking advantage of the target into range, Nabar shouted and pulled down the bolt's reed, and a set of ignited explosive arrows were fired, hitting Ticalabia's body, and a small explosion occurred, and a few seconds later, Raguil in the other cabin also fired explosive arrows, and Ticalabia was hit by a series of explosions, moving several meters in a row.

The people on the deck took the opportunity to attack the big star's mouth under the command of Sieg, and in an instant a rain of arrows was formed, and after shooting the crossbow arrows, the sailors dropped their heavy crossbows, ran to the side and picked up the throwing guns and threw them collectively again, a large number of metal weapons pierced between the sharp teeth of Tikarabia, it roared and released dozens of drowned spirits flying on the deck, and several sailors who had not yet reacted could not escape the claws of the drowned spirits and were dragged underwater.

Mo Cha immediately jumped up and grabbed a rope and swung overboard the ship, shooting a crossbow arrow in the air and hitting the core of the depths of the blood mouth of Di Calabia, making it tremble, taking the opportunity for the others to eliminate the drowning spirit on the ship, and also concentrated fire again to repel it, Nabar and the others' ballista guns shot arrows again to hit the blood mouth of Di Calabia, and Sig also prepared a more powerful attack to end the battle, at the cost of his own soul, once again launched a forbidden purple lightning attack.

"Boom!"

When the purple lightning converged on the tip of the knife, he stabbed forward with all his strength, and the purple lightning beam shot out from the blade of the wolf, and blasted into the mouth of Ti Calabya in a straight line, and the purple lightning instantly wrapped around the giant starfish's whole body, and gradually emitted a burning breath, and finally there was a crisp sound like popcorn, and the huge starfish was scorched by the purple lightning, and fell straight to the sea with a huge splash......
