The good news is that Shug knows that not only does he now have a powerful means of combat, but he can also use it to achieve some of the effects of teleportation magic.

The bad news is that the teleportation path created by the Hound Tooth is likely to be connected to the "tunnels" dug up by other Abyss creations.

The strange scene that took place inside the dream shelter sounded the alarm in Shug's mind.

Whether or not it was the "harmless beast" that Theseus called on the other side of the tunnel scratching the wall, it must have been a great threat to the vast majority of the creatures in the Vane.

Not to mention, within the Abyss, there are already extremely dangerous races such as the Court Hound and the Abyssal Spider.

"In other words, if I make a mistake in the normal use of the Hound Fang, it is very likely that it will open a 'convenient door' directly to Van En for those predators in the abyss."

Xiuge, who had already returned to the real world with many objects, raised his arm, and he looked carefully at the tattoo that wrapped around his wrist, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Having said that, although the "tunnel" opened by the Hound Fangs is extremely risky, it does provide an additional escape route for the current situation, and at a time when almost all teleportation magic and rituals are interfered with by the Black Sun, this temporary teleportation channel based on the magic of the Abyss is enough to become an important hole card.

After putting away all the bullets, daggers, and potion recipes he had brought back, Shug checked the situation on the Windless again, and after making sure there was no movement, he lay back on the bed.

In the midst of the bumps of the cruise ship, he quickly returned to sleep.

I don't know if it's because I'm at sea, but this time, the dream about the sea and sailing came extremely quickly.

When Shug fell into that familiar "lucid dream", he almost thought he was still in reality.

It's still an endless ocean, and it's still the giant ship that keeps breaking the waves.

With a transfer of thoughts, Shug came to the huge deck as wide as the square, and he was barefoot, with the cold metal beneath his feet, and he could feel the constant roar and noise of the huge ship.

He looked up, only to see a huge black shadow slowly appearing behind the dense clouds, and the terrible and oppressive black sun was more complete and clearer than reality.

Under the gaze of this black "pupil", the sea beast with its twisted body was constantly active in the nearby sea, and in the howling sea breeze, a strange seabird with a sharp beak and four huge wings continued to pass above the giant ship, and chirped again and again.

It was not a shrill hissing, but a rhythmic and rhythmic "chant".

They were not like beasts following boats, but like the missionaries who liked to chase pedestrians and talk about their beliefs.

"It's so noisy......"

Shug was a little impatient by their voices, but he had barely frowned when the massive metal ship changed his mind in a startling way.

The loud sound of gears turning continued to be heard, and the integrated metal deck suddenly cracked in front of Xiuge's eyes, accompanied by a rich magical steam, and a door with a precise structure, engraved with a large number of magic patterns and inlaid with huge crystals, slowly rose up.

Though no one was manipulating, the long and narrow barrels quickly adjusted their angles to the sound of gears, and then a deafening roar, accompanied by the escape of magical steam and the splash of crystalline debris, the terrifying cannon fire tore through the sky in an instant, completely covering the monsters that chased the hull with a strange sound.

The original "chant" immediately turned into a miserable wail, and then the figures of these four-winged strange birds were completely drowned in a series of magical explosions, and the few who survived adjusted their flight direction and fled into the distance in a hurry, and the low groans emitted from their bodies also turned into a terrible and piercing scream.

Sounds like a curse.

"It's just ...... Be all abroad. ”

Shug stood stunned as the remains of some strange birds fell to the deck, their flesh, skin, and scales completely steamed into dry crumbs by the ferocious magic cannon fire, and within seconds of falling onto the metal deck, they completely turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated into the sea breeze.

As if to confirm that the target had been successfully eliminated, the "anti-aircraft guns" raised from below deck slowly descended, and soon, as the metal deck was re-closed, these precision weapons that exuded strange beauty and stunning charm were once again hidden in the giant ship.

The terrible screams of the four-winged monster birds still echoed in the distance, and their voices triggered a violent reaction in this sea area.

As if in response to their pleas, the otherwise calm sea began to turbulent, and then Xiuge saw that the distant sea was broken by several huge shadows, each of which looked like an island in the ocean, but on its surface, Xiuge saw a dark green like seaweed, viscous and deep.

The fleeing four-winged monster birds flapped their wings in a hurry, and they landed towards the islands that had suddenly appeared, and the unpleasant, piercing screams of the previous time reverted to an orderly murmur, and they sang slowly as if they were singing the praises of the "islands" that provided them with a temporary resting place.

Everything in the distance seems extraordinarily peaceful.

Xiuge thought that these strange birds would rest peacefully on those "islands", but in the next moment, these huge shadows emerging from the deep sea trembled at the same time, and then Xiug saw countless dark green tentacles swept out from under the sea, and they couldn't wait to roll towards their bodies, entangled those defenseless strange birds on the spot.

Then, these round, dark green "islands" suddenly cracked, like green fruits that had swelled and cracked from the sun, and a huge crack appeared in the middle of these shadows, and as these cracks expanded, countless sharp teeth stuck out of them.

And so, with the swing of the tentacles, the strange birds that had just gained shelter were sent into these behemoth mouths, the huge cracks full of teeth slowly closing, the soft shadows covered with dark green seaweed constantly wriggling, and they seemed to be seriously chewing their food.

Soon, the eating ended.

However, the scattered four-winged strange birds obviously could not satisfy the appetite of these "dark green islands", their bodies slowly turned, and in the gloomy color, huge pupils appeared with the opening of new cracks, and their dull and greedy gaze fell on the moving giant ship.

Shuge felt a palpable hostility, and while he was well aware that he was dreaming, instinctively, he naturally resisted these ugly, twisted things.

The giant ship in motion seemed to be able to capture the slightest emotional fluctuations of Xiuge, so the moment Xiuge had this thought, the changes that had occurred before occurred again, only this time, the operation of the mechanical structure and the flow of magic became more violent, and in the continuous fluctuation of magical light and steam waves, more heavy mechanical structures that could give people a strong sense of security appeared.

Although the images are grotesque and bizarre, they still make people feel excited.

The dark green island was rapidly approaching, and seeing that the artillery fire was about to be ignited, Xiug suddenly heard a strange hum.

The hum came from the ocean, from the depths of the vast body of water, like the unconscious sound of a giant beast sleeping in a distant space.

As the humming spread, the dark green beasts in the march stopped their movements, and Xiuge saw that the sea in the distance suddenly changed color.

Bubbles wrapped in countless brilliant colors float up from the deep sea, and when they explode on the surface of the sea, they leave the color directly in the raging waves.

"The color of life?"

Xiuge looked at the sea covered in psychedelic colors in amazement, and felt that those colors seemed to form a huge "blanket", which seemed to cover the sea directly, and as if they were only one with the surface water......

The low hum grew louder with the advent of the "Colour of Life", and the dark green beasts seemed to be restrained by this, and they twisted their bodies and dived back into the sea without a sound.

……

"Buzz!"

A deafening sound woke Xiuge from his dream.

As a cruise ship, the model and structure of the Windless are a bit old, and a considerable part of the cabins are relatively close to the bow, so whenever the cruise ship breaks anchor or some of the ship's machinery begins to emit magical steam, the passengers living in these cabins are easily disturbed by loud noises and noise.

It was easy to solve these noises, an ordinary soundproofing magic ritual was enough, but after that bizarre dream, Xiuge was now completely sleepless, he stretched his body vigorously, then sat up and took the pocket watch from the side.

It's hard to feel the passage of time when dreaming, and Hug glanced at his pocket watch and realized that it was already six o'clock in the morning.

So he put on his cloak and opened the closed curtains.

The wind and waves seemed to have abated considerably, and from here, Huge could clearly see that the sailors of the Windless were skillfully carrying out inspections, maintenance, etc., and a little later, the deck of the cruise ship would be open to passengers, who would even be able to dine on deck if conditions permitted.

In Xiuge's sleep, the rat colony, which is responsible for guarding and surveillance, has completed its rotation.

However, the rotation of the will of the Ernst family does not mean rest, they have been transformed into the purest magical creations, and the so-called rotation is nothing more than a metal disc to replenish their missing magic power, and to simply organize the information and information collected.

For this rather free form of activity, the rat swarm can be said to be very active, and the energetic General Bernhardt has even begun to prepare plans to send himself to the escort warship.

As soon as he got out of bed, he skillfully operated the equipment set up in the corner of the cabin.

It was a metal teapot inscribed with a little magical ritual that could directly cook drinks, and with the infusion of magic power, the powder of the refreshing drink in the teapot quickly dissolved into the boiling water, and with the unique aroma of the refreshing drink, Xiuge began to process the important information deposited in his brain at a very fast speed.

In the past few days, because of the rising of the Black Sun and the violent upheavals within the kingdom of St. Steele, the overall situation in Van En has entered a new phase.

Just as Shug and Meyer and others had previously judged, the nations were now in a state of watch-and-see and vigilance, and the most cautious of them were the kingdoms of Hain and Waltel.

The actions of the royal family of Saint-Steele and the "proclamations" they issued have essentially constituted a betrayal of the "alliance of the highland states", and with the purge initiated within the two kingdoms, more and more signs and evidence related to the Black and Japanese associations have been successfully unearthed.

However, it was often only the ordinary officials and nobles who were abandoned by the Black Sun Society, and those betrayers who had formed close ties with the Black Sun Society, and even connected to the core of the Society, had already been prepared, and with the assistance of the Black Sun Society, they had already fled their homeland in advance, and quietly moved along some hidden routes to St. Steele.

In the kingdom of Waterl, a considerable part of the population showed unprecedented hostility towards the Black Sun Society, and the inhabitants of the highlands, who had a strong sense of nationality and nation, believed that the public execution of their ambassador by the royal family of Saint-Steele was no different from a declaration of war, and that with the mobilization of the Waterl army, more troops and weapons had been massed in the north, and if necessary, they could march north by the railways they had erected before.

Compared with the confidence and caution shown by the great powers, the northern principalities that were previously attached to the kingdom of St. Steele showed a different extreme attitude.

Through the information gathered by the rat colony, Xiug learned that those principalities, which were also in the north and had inextricable ties with the royal family of Saint-Steele, had already made their own choices in the short period of time that had just passed.

Although these northern principalities have not been officially announced.

However, the results of the investigations of many spies and spies show that these principalities are in fact ready to join the Black Sun Society and merge into the Kingdom of St. Steele.
