Chapter 326: Mount Etna
The Strait of Messina is turbulent and full of reefs, and at least half of the ten ships that venture through it will die. In the turbid seabed www.biquge.info, countless ruined shipwrecks lie on the ground, and the hollow eye sockets emit tiny particles of phosphorescence, like the tears of remorse of the deceased.
In one day, Lu Bin personally dealt with the Banshee Siren, the Siren, and the Kraken Kalybdis, eradicating their habitats, turning this dangerous and dangerous strait into a smooth passage between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ionian Sea, benefiting many sailors who had traveled to the sea, causing far-reaching effects and even changing the fate of some people.
The ghost ship did not pass through the Strait of Messina, and according to Lu Bin's original plan, it sailed along the coastline towards Mount Etna.
Typhon, the father of the hundred monsters imprisoned by the gods and crushed under the volcano, seems to sense the countercurrent of fate entering, but it is only negligible in a small way, and he turns over in dissatisfaction, shaking off the dust accumulated over the years.
Even from a distance of dozens of miles, Lu Bin, who was standing on the bow pillar of the ghost ship, still saw the pure-blooded last descendant of Gaia, the mother of the earth, just a casual move made the volcano erupt with a peerless ferocity.
The desperate crater was constantly spewing out thick yellow smoke, accompanied by the roar of a steam explosion, not only the earth shook faintly, but even the sea water lost its previous calm and became more turbulent.
It is not impossible for the ghost ship to continue to move forward, but it will be very risky to do so, Lu Bin pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered the sailors to anchor and dock at the nearest shore.
The pregnant sea witch Cleo took over the captain's duties from Lu Bin, including the girl Corey, and no followers and servants dared to disobey. Lytis, the goddess of water, earned her trust through the Styx Oath and was able to leave the Blackwater Swamp in the bilge and roam freely on the ship.
Even if Lu Bin has the ability to walk on the water, the sea surface that is tens of miles away, and the rugged mountain road, at least it takes a lot of physical strength, in order to be able to maintain his full state when he meets Typhon, the father of the hundred monsters, he puts the sea monster Calebdis, who has just conquered not long ago, in the sea.
Hephaestus, the craftsman of the gods, made the godsteel chain with his own hands, which was so strong that even Lu Bin felt a headache, and it became impossible to completely lift it safely and completely without hurting the sea monster Karybdis.
On the undulating sea, the sea monster Carybdis lay on her back, allowing Lu Bin to use her as a small sampan and push forward along the current.
"Kalybdis, the embodiment of the Maelstrom, is indeed slow to move in the sea, but luckily I brought a motor, which will definitely work a magical effect when it is installed. ”
Lu Bin inserted the key into the lock hole, and with a click, it was tightly closed, and the sea monster Karybdis was out of the sea for a long time, and had to curl up against his body, slowly stretching out his fins as soft as rainbow silk.
After successfully unlocking, the motor attached to the small sampan began to run with a pop, and the brilliant fishtail fins, in line with the rhythm, swung up and down rhythmically, propelling the two of them towards Mount Etna.
Seeing this scene, Letis, the goddess of Mizusawa, couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead, wanting to see the ground more clearly. Callio, the sea witch, reached out and stroked her abdomen, her gaze fell on Letis, the goddess of water, and a sympathetic smile appeared on her lips.
"The self-proclaimed companion bound by the oath of the River Styx, which sounds good, is surely the prey of the conquered. My hero wants to build an army of demigods against the Holy Mountain, and I am afraid that there is a huge palace hidden deep inside, and various goddesses are specially stuffed into it. ”
Cyo, the sea witch, swept her gaze around as she looked at the sailors on the ship in their respective positions, and her eyes fell on the maiden Corry.
"There is the smell of a priest, and I don't know which holy mountain deity to give my inner piety to. Obscured by the darkness and fog of communication, poor girl, her heart is already very empty, what are my heroes waiting for? By the way, her flower crown has been lost, and she is certainly not a believer in the chaste moon god and the goddess of wisdom, and the only reasonable explanation is the god of love and beauty. Is this the strategy my hero said, to put a long line and catch a big fish?"
Faded from the traces of darkness, the sea witch Cleo was able to turn the lower half of her body, eight tentacle-like wrists and feet, into slender legs. In front of the crew of the ghost ship, she maintained her human form, and only when she was with Lu Bin in private would she regain her soft and boneless sea demigod form.
"Strange! The giant bear that used to sleeping on the deck is gone, is it being carried by my hero?"
Although it is impossible to comprehend the magic of the Book of Traveling Mages, this does not prevent Cleo, the Witch of the Sea, from her own unique perspective, to understand the way Lu Bin summons creatures to fight enemies.
At this time, the manpower motor installed by Lu Bin drove the sea monster Calybdis, and landed smoothly on the shore and approached the foot of Mount Etna.
The ground covered with volcanic ash heard dense vibrations, and Lu Bin's demigod physique, ignoring the cold and heat changes of the environment, made the sea monster Karybdis wait on the shore and walked alone to the active volcano.
"Typhon, the father of the Hundred Monsters, had an unpredictable temper, and was severely damaged by the thunder of the Great Eagle, and his body fell from the clouds, and it is not known if it will be restored to its original state...... I thought too much, crushed under the volcano by the gods joining forces, watched over by the gods of fire and craftsmen, and certainly had no chance of healing my own battered body. It is definitely not an extravagant hope to draw pure blood from it, complete the special card 'Blood of the Earth', and combine the bloodline cards of the Serpent-Footed Giant and even the Titan. ”
The ground was covered with thick volcanic ash, and Lu Bin walked forward, leaving a series of footprints that did not reach his ankle bones, whether it was the distance between his feet or the depth of the footprints, they remained exactly the same, unaffected by the slightest earthquake.
Lu Bin looked around and saw that fruit trees and vegetables were artificially planted in the foothills of the gentle mountain, and he couldn't help but nod lightly: "Everyone knows that the area around Mount Etna is dangerous and deadly, but unfortunately the place covered with volcanic ash is also the most fertile soil." These orchards and vegetables, needless to say, must be the product of profit-seeking human beings and risky planting. You're bold enough, just like me. ”
Strange faces appear on Mount Etna, the prison where Typhon, the father of the Hundred Monsters, is imprisoned, the head of the cell who watches over the guards, a rock-made colossus with a hollow chest with the liquid light of magma.
Lu Bin saw the rock colossus struggling to stand up, its nose erupting smoke with sparks, bright red magma, flowing in the invisible veins, the stiff body gradually regained its agility, and the cold rock began to warm up.
"Insight!"
Lu Bin's left hand appeared in the Book of the Brigade Mage, sending out a strange fluctuation, instantly passing over the rock colossus, which could have obtained detailed information, but was blocked by divine power, and only partially vague information.
"The creature of the god of fire and artisans, servant of fire and earth...... The title sucks, and I have to begin to wonder if Hephaestus, the lame cripple, has been transferred to the brain. The challenge difficulty is level 15, and the average transcendent creature in the middle is no less than the burly body of the War Tree Man, and I estimate that the challenge difficulty will be compensated by an upward correction of 2 levels. In other words, this is a level 17 god-made transcendent creature, and after exerting its true strength, it is even close to level 18. ”
"It's really weak and you can die with one move!"
The rock-clad colossus, which has been in little contact with mortals for hundreds of years since its birth, has been more or less influenced by it because of the surveillance of Typhon, the father of all monsters, and is not a simple and kind cell boss, but a fierce and cunning god-made.
Sensing that a deadly danger was approaching, the Earthfire Servant snapped open his eyes slit, revealing orbital bones covered with golden and red lightning, mixed with volcanic smoke and dust containing poison, erupting towards Lu Bin's location.
Lu Bin looked up, the gray-black high-temperature smoke, like a fountain, rose into the sky, and the small electric sparks bloomed in an instant and swept towards him.
