Chapter 523: The Troubled Boat
The thin twilight stained the outlines of the mountains and forests, the tide swelled, and the boats tossed up and down with the undulating waves.
The bones hanging from the side of the boat had not had time to be cleaned, and the powder of the black skeleton mixed with the seawater, staining the white deck of the boat with a dark cloud. Aisha turned off the magic drive—too fast and the boat would capsize.
In fact, the Church's small ship was sleeker and sturdier than the Nome Pathfinder's Blue Eagle. Along the way, Xiulin took a compass to identify the direction, and they didn't spare the road at all, but it still took more than an hour. There are always monsters who are fearless to block their way, and the side of the boat is hit by a monster with a hard skeleton, and it is slightly deformed, if it is an ordinary boat, the bottom of the boat must have leaked a long time ago, and it is impossible to travel that far.
Looking at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar land, the sea breeze penetrated his clothes soaked in sea water and sweat, and Ivan, who was sitting in the cabin, breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately became nervous.
At this moment, the monsters seemed to settle down a bit, if only they could keep it like this and land along the shore.
However, if you land on the shore...... He was afraid that he would see a scene that he could not accept, that there was something bad in the color of the sunset, that he would encounter ...... again Something that can't be afforded.
"Ivan, Sister Xiulin, look at it!"
Aisha suddenly shouted, and stretched out his hand to the sea not far away, where the waves were churning more intensely, the white waves reflected the red light of the western sky like bloodstains, and faintly black reflective objects rose and fell in the waves.
Xiu Lin immediately grabbed the monocular at hand and glanced at it, a flash of surprise flashed on her face, and then she showed a rare solemn expression. She tossed the binoculars to Ivan and shook the wet strands of hair that were on the side of her face. Draw the gun from your waist.
"I'll just say why the monsters didn't come here for a while, it turned out that they had found new prey. Aisha, turn on the drive, let's go and save people!"
"That's?" Ivan also saw the black skeletons dancing in the waves. Between the black skeletons, another boat spun around like a panicked beast that had fallen into a trap.
From time to time, bright fires lit up on the ship.
......
The lone boat was surrounded by monsters.
The monsters hovering in the air, frighteningly human-like bodies, fanned the air with their skeletal wings emitting black smoke and hollow eye sockets. There was also black smoke coming out of between the teeth. The monster in the water had a long tail like a snake and a huge fusiform head, and two rows of fangs as sharp as a shark.
In fact, this small ship is also a ship of the Church Army, and its sturdy metal shell is being gnawed ferociously by the serpentine monster, and it has clearly carved tooth marks.
"Get out of here!"
With an angry shout, a black-red sharp knife slashed from the top of the monster's head with blazing fire, slicing at the black skull. The red light is more abundant. The monster with its skull split in half suddenly bounced out of the water, and its long tail of the curled bones lifted up the sea water and smashed it into the head of the middle-aged man with the knife.
The middle-aged man raised his face, and the flaming sharp knife swung indiscriminately at the tail covered with sharp bone spurs. The snake's tail snapped in the air, and a bone spur narrowly grabbed his head, and he ducked backwards, slamming into the back of another companion.
His companion was younger than him, in his early twenties, and he glanced at the middle-aged man in horror, then turned back and raised the magic guide cannon fixed to his wrist. Compressed air jetted out of the cannon's muzzle, swirling with a whirlwind that slammed into the boat. Suddenly. The monster's black bones exploded as if they had exploded, spraying in all directions.
"Roger!Heller, you two be careful!ouch!" Another young man crouching in the cabin was hit by a flying bone splinter. I couldn't help but scream in pain. Compared to the other two magicians on the ship, this young man's costume was easily recognizable, the kind of white uniform of the clerk of the Wizard Alliance. He clutched his head in distress and looked around with a frown.
There are also two musketeers from the Church on board, however, facing the menacing monsters. Their bullets were no match for the magician's magic in any way, but despite this, they continued to shoot from the side of the ship to keep the monsters from approaching. A monster sank into the sea, but soon another monster came over, and the boat swayed left and right under the push of the waves, and if it went on like this, let alone move forward, they couldn't hold on to the monster's attack at all!
The reason why this small boat attracts so many monsters is because the shell of the magic guide drive behind the ship has cracked at some point.
The people on the boat were too anxious to find out about this fatal problem. They didn't notice until the monster that followed the stern of the ship rushed to the back of the ship like crazy, and the monster seemed to treat the boat as a delicious bread and gnawed at the metal with its teeth. Now, the cabin is flooded, and it could sink or be overturned by monsters at any moment.
Bang!
Something hit the bottom of the boat, the water rumbled, and the whole boat was lifted by the huge waves, and it could no longer maintain its balance. The clerk's face was as pale as paper in an instant, and he grabbed his companion by the hand, one hand gripping the railing tightly. Even the church musketeers had to drop their long-barreled guns and free their hands to stabilize their bodies.
The rising sea soaked the cold air of the bones, and the sound of the tide was like a desperate roar. Soon, the five people on board will sink into the dark sea with this pitiful boat like fallen leaves in the rain. Before that, they will be killed by the greedy monsters, and they will be turned into bones in the sea!
It was as if a huge mouth was waiting for them in the sea.
"Help!" the young clerk let out a final scream, a wave of red light overhead, knowing that there were companions drowning in the darkness with him. After a mouthful of seawater, he could no longer make a sound, and could only close his eyes tightly, waiting for something sharp - the fangs of monsters, claws, or bone spurs to penetrate his body.
However, the expected fatal pain was not yet on the horizon.
"Aisha!"
Xiu Lin leaned against the railing, standing proudly against the sea breeze, the black muzzle of the gun in her right hand shining with a brilliant fiery red circle.
"Hmm!"
Aisha immediately closed the lid of the open refining metal box. The box is full of energy storage crystals with abundant origin magic, such an ideal food, there is no reason why monsters should not be attracted. Whether it was the alien monsters in the air, or the monsters in the sea, or even the monsters that were incomplete and not yet dead, they all gave up the food in front of them and swarmed towards the energy storage crystal.
