191 Knell Beetle 2
The hull swayed slightly, a glass oil lamp tied to the broken mainmast, and the bright yellow light was the only source of light on the deck below.
The oil lamp is made of back glass, in a cylindrical shape, and there is a circle-shaped ventilation area below, so you don't have to worry about the wind and rain going in and extinguishing the light.
On the brown-yellow deck, two knights stood on one side of the ship, hunched over, clinging to the side of the ship with both hands, and a thick rope tied to the mast on their bodies.
In the flickering light, the cold rain hit Angle's face, and he squinted and looked around the boat. The sea was black on all sides, and there was nothing but the shaky and undulating waters.
But I don't know why, Anglie just had an inexplicable strange feeling, which is why he took the initiative to come out and take a look.
When the two knights saw Anglie coming out, they hurriedly hunched over.
"Lord Green, the storm is too great, you better go back to the cabin and rest, it's good to have us here!" said Rivail, one of Lispelle's followers, loudly.
Old man Jill also said on the side: "Yes, it's just a storm, we can handle it, you better go back and rest." ”
Angliel frowned: "I feel something is wrong, so come out and take a look." Since his mental power was compressed, it seemed that his five senses had become much sharper.
With a click, the cabin door opened again, and Lispel stepped out.
"What's wrong? is there a situation?" she asked.
"It's coming!" Angre suddenly looked at the sea in front of him.
Several people looked at him at the same time.
On the sea in front of you, a half-human-tall black figure was rapidly approaching the ship. The wings on its body flapped at high speed, turning into two blurred phantoms, and a buzzing sound was constantly heard.
"It's like a beetle. Old Knight Gil pulled out a black mace from his back.
Rivai took a silver double-edged axe from his back and held it with both hands.
The black shadow quickly approached, and several people saw its appearance clearly.
A large beetle, more than half a man tall, was black, with a large cylindrical horn on its head and two wings on its back, vibrating at high speed, carrying it constantly hovering on the deck.
In the dim light, the beetle's six short legs were like sharp blades, and they also reflected a faint red luster.
The buzz continued to spread over the deck.
"Be careful, don't attack it!" Lispel said quickly. "That's the Knell Beetle! It's a social creature, and it doesn't usually attack humans!"
When the two great knights heard this, they immediately stopped moving forward and stood in place, looking up at the beetles in the sky.
Anglie's face changed slightly, he had heard of the death knell beetle, and he had seen a wizard creature in the beginning, and this thing was also a relatively fierce wild creature.
"How can there be a death knell beetle here? Isn't this a legendary ancient creature?" he asked aloud.
"This is the open sea, and anything can happen to you. Standing beside him, Lispel explained, "Even what we call the Sea Clan only lives in a small offshore area of the Gem Sea. The deep sea area, all kinds of danger areas and wildlife, and even mutant beasts are endless. ”
She looked at the beetle above and added, "I don't know what it's here for, but the Knell beetle doesn't usually attack humanoids, and as long as we don't provoke it, it should leave on its own." ”
"Maybe it's just attracted by the lights of our boats. Angliel whispered.
For a moment, everyone stopped talking, quietly looking at the death knell beetle hovering in the sky.
From time to time, blue light flashed in Angele's eyes.
The flying beetle in his field of vision was constantly brushing out rows of data information.
'Bio-powerless field protection, estimated quality'
'Death Knell Beetle: Strength > 7, Agility > 11, Constitution > 13. Mental greater than 9.Innate abilities in data record extraction: sonic shock, sonic immunity. ’
'Judged creature level comparison is stronger than that of the Great Knight, and weaker than that of the Formal Wizard. ’
The information of the chip detection is fed back one by one.
Angel also slowly relaxed, just a death knell beetle, not much of a danger.
The death knell beetle is actually a polluted mutated creature created by ancient wizards, although it is an ancient creature, it is not a precious ancient bloodline creature.
Not all ancient creatures had extremely strong ancient bloodlines.
"The death knell beetle lives on land, how can it be here?" Lispel whispered.
"Unless," Angre didn't finish, but looked at the distant sea to his right again.
There, a large, black and dilapidated ship was slowly approaching through the rain.
The ship resembled the legendary ghost ship, in tatters, with no sails, and its black hull looked unusually dilapidated, with no human figures in sight on it, only a large black shadow flying around the ship.
airplanes
The fine hum was getting closer.
These flying black shadows are like bees flying around the hive, constantly flying and circling. If you look closely, it's all death knell beetles.
"It's a beetle nest!" Angle's face changed, "at least there are no less than a hundred death knell beetles!"
The faces of the other three changed.
It was a powerful force enough to destroy everything about them, enough to threaten their lives. When the bell deathbell beetle reaches a certain number, when it sends out a berserk sonic attack together, the power will directly cross several levels, not to mention that there must be a female worm inside. According to the records, it is at least equivalent to the existence of all first-level wizards. And it's on the sea, not like land, and once you don't have a ship, you can't run away at all......
"Deathknell Beetle Ship, is it Mirango Wizard?" Lispel suddenly shouted loudly, and her voice was deliberately spread out with her energy, and it was transmitted far away.
The black wrecked ship in the distance did not make a sound.
The beetle that was still hovering on the deck slowly flew away and returned to the shipbreaker's nest.
"It's supposed to be a wild drifting beetle nest. Angre whispered as he looked at the beetle's nest in the distance.
"It seems so. Lispel nodded, "Originally, I thought it was a group of demon pets raised by another wizard. ”
"But this is good news for us, the death knell beetle usually lives in a place with a lot of life, it will not be at sea all the time, and we should be able to find the nearest land as long as we follow this nest. She added.
"But can you make sure these beetles don't get angry with us for following them?" Angre asked, frowning.
"No, the Knell beetle generally has no valuable materials on its body, and its strength is strong, so it basically has no conflict with humans, and similarly, they don't like the flesh of humanoids."
"So now we have to figure out how to keep up with that ship. "Really?"
Lispeer looked at the beetle-nest ship in the distance, and frowned slightly. She glanced at Angel beside her, this Wizard Grimm was the first wizard she had met after she left home and had nothing to do with the family, and the first person to give herself an inexplicable sense of intimacy because she had saved herself.
For her, Angel is just a chance encounter and a passerby in her life, and after this time, she has to return to the family, become the hope of the family, and keep trying to move forward.
Somehow, she suddenly had the idea of going back later.
She slowly took out a black crystal ball from her waist and gently threw it forward, and the fist-sized crystal ball suddenly suspended in the air and melted into a black bird.
The bird has no eyes, a beak, and no feathers, but a pair of black wings in the shape of a bird's body.
Lispel reached out and gestured to the beetle's nest ship in the distance.
The blackbird flapped its wings, circled in mid-air, and flew towards the beetle-nest ship.
"What is this?" asked Angle, curious. "Puppet?"
Lispel nodded: "It's an alchemy creature, I call her the Black Sparrow, and she can attack all creatures in my field of vision, which is considered a metal creature." She frowned suddenly, as if remembering something.
"By the way, you don't have a pet yet, do you?" she asked suddenly.
Anglie nodded: "Not yet chosen, the demon pet is damaged, and the main wizard will also suffer mental damage, if you don't choose the demon pet well, it is equivalent to giving yourself one more attack point." So I'm still thinking about it. ”
"Yes," said Lisper, no more.
She whispered a broken sentence, and her eyes instantly lit up with a blue-white glow.
The halo continued to brighten for a while, and then slowly dimmed.
"My pet has boarded the Deathstroke Beetle's Lair Ship. Knight Rivai, please go and get all the ropes from the ship. Lisper said to Rivail, who was standing on the side.
"Yes. Rivay saluted, cut the rope around his waist with his backhand, and hurried down the cabin to get the other ropes.
Jill stood aside and waited for orders.
Angel took out the silver-white ring that Lispel had given him earlier, and there was a faint white glow on the ring.
This ring is a warm ring that can keep the body at a constant temperature, and it is also delicately engraved with a disease detection circle, which can automatically prompt an alarm once the wearer's body is in condition.
Although this thing looks simple, its value is extremely precious, and it can work on the extremely resistant bodies of wizards, and the level is at least a medium demonic item.
Anglie handed the ring over.
"Looks like you need this thing more than I do. He looked at Lispel's body, faintly shivering from the cold.
Lispel looked at the ring he handed over.
"It's okay for me. She said stiffly.
"If you're a friend, don't embarrass others because of yourself. Angliel said lightly.
Lispeer raised her face and looked at him for a long time.
Syllable!
Angel pressed the ring to the palm of her hand.
Laugh at!
A faint white light suddenly lit up on Lispel's body.
She opened her lips, but she couldn't say anything.
Angliel smiled: "What you think is the most important thing for yourself is not necessarily the most important and precious to others, if you want to compensate me, change it to something I can use in the future." ”
"Good. ”
Lispel bowed her head.
