As the ships moved, the green coastline got closer and closer.

They could already see on the boat something strange about the place called Zehai.

The water was completely green, and if you looked closely, you could see the tangled vines beneath the surface.

and a variety of unknown plants that grow in the crevices of the vines, which saddle the gaps between the vines and make it land beneath the surface of the sea.

Looking at the appearance of this vine, it can indeed be a good place to stay.

But the sea in front of them was obviously not quite right.

The color is not emerald green, but a dark green color. It looks dull and muddy, and it doesn't feel like it's full of life.

Then nature and the destination they are going to reach, the land of the spirits is not the same place.

The introduction of the Land of Spirits is a verdant area, and you can feel the vitality just by looking at it, and even the air is full of life.

In addition to the dark green color in front of them, it revealed a dull and gloomy meaning.

Areas with a dark aura are good at targeting in three areas.

Maybe that's what Jason says.

This is the border between life and death, the most dangerous area.

The place where the dragon of the gods, which represents death, fell.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look up at Jason, who was sticking his head out of the window in the observation room at the top.

"Huh." He smiled awkwardly and silently retracted his head.

"The Sound of Dawn slowed forward, ready to turn the ship's bow." Arka said loudly.

Rated as the most dangerous area, it is best for them to just look at the coastline from a distance and not bring the boat close to the past.

Just keep a safe enough distance.

At Arka's words, the speed of the ship slowed down immediately, and then slowly turned its bow.

Diagonally start driving away.

After a while, they were only about 2 kilometers away from the shoreline. Change the direction and start to level with the coastline, and drive along the coastline to one side.

"Doesn't that seem strange like this?" Simon said as he looked at some details of the sea from afar through the mechanical structure in his eyes.

It looks like a swamp made of plants, but it's just ridiculously large.

"It's different, it's so much more chaotic here than anywhere else." Julia said, looking ahead.

Although she no longer believes in life, she has even become an apostate.

But the detection of the environment is engraved in her bones, determined by the characteristics of her race.

Otherwise, the merfolk race would not be the entire race of environmental guardians under the command of life.

It's just that some of the means have been weakened and reduced by more of the life side, and the talent and the other spells it uses to learn have not been affected.

"Exuberant vitality is mixed with debilitating death. Two polar opposing forces, almost fused here.

How the hell is this done? No wonder this place is called the border of life and death. ”

It's the same as the record they saw before.

However, this boundless and unchanging Zehai border has seen too much, and there is nothing interesting about the curiosity, and when it comes to satisfaction, there is nothing interesting.

Because they've been looking at it for so long, there's really nothing special about it, maybe it's too far from the inside.

Although they can sense the danger, they are far enough away.

After watching it for more than an hour, everyone stopped paying special attention. Instead, they maintained a certain vigilance and did their own thing on the ship.

As they know.

Zehai's range is outrageously large, if they drive around the edge.

Without dozens of days and nights, it was obviously difficult to reach another area.

If Zehai is divided into 4 points, the land of all spirits and the border of life and death, each occupy a share.

The area of the border between life and death is about 2/3 of the area of the twin island chain, and the sea area is a little more.

The problem is that they can only sail around the border and cannot be interspersed in it, so it takes more time.

The puppet girls are no longer as lazy as before, and have begun to distribute in various positions on the ship.

Always keep an eye on what is going on around you.

…………

"Maybe we'll have to get around it a lot sooner than we thought." Xia Daiti, who was observing in the observation room at this time, said.

Alka, who was coming in to hand her over, looked at her strangely when he heard this.

"This sea is also moving, and it happens to be in the opposite direction to us."

Hearing this, Arka nodded knowingly. In this case, the time they spend will indeed be reduced a lot.

If Zehai's movement speed is fast enough, it may be reduced by half.

Go to the observation room and look into the distance.

Looking closely, it is indeed difficult to tell whether Zehai is rapidly retreating, whether it is moving.

Because the place is green, it's hard to tell.

However, if you use a certain area as a reference, careful calculation will show that he is moving backwards too fast.

The Sound of Dawn clearly didn't sail at such a speed.

After a brief observation.

Arka made his way to the center of the lookout room, sat up on the bottom of the crystal disc at the top, and opened the device of the Gathering Stone.

The magic gathers and begins to meditate.

However, the meditation didn't last long.

Next to him, who was observing, and his teammates began to shake Alka.

"Captain, there's a situation."

Perceiving movement from the outside world, Arka opened his eyes.

Immediately get up and turn off the Gathering Stone, and look out at the clear glass.

Look in the direction that one is pointing.

On the side is still an endless green sea, but in front of it is completely against the border of the coast. Something apparently like a ship began to move towards them.

Due to the distance in front of them, it is not clear to see.

A mirror surfaced on Arka's face.

A strange creature with protruding eyes, transformed into a mask, is imprinted on Arka's face.

Through the creature's special abilities, Arka was able to close the distance in an instant.

It was almost as if it was attached to the side of the ship, carefully observing the ship-like thing in the distance.

Or rather, it's a ship.

From the outside, it is extremely dilapidated, like a ship that has been swept into pieces by a huge wave, and it is extremely simple to put together.

Fragments of broken rotting planks are spliced together by vine vegetation. At least the shape of the ship was constructed, it was clearly a three-dimensional sailing ship, but only two masts remained, and it appeared to be erect.

The third one near the tail has broken off from the middle, and even the sail has become a few rags hanging on it and fluttering in the wind.

Looking at the appearance of this ship, it is completely certain that the comer is not good.

Without hesitation, Arka slapped the button next to it.

The crisp sound of copper bells was transmitted.

Immediately, there was a noise of footsteps on the deck.

They didn't need Arka to give a warning downward, they immediately noticed movement in the distance, the ship coming towards them.

Observed through their various means.

The flying team led by Jiu spread its wings like dragonflies and flew quickly in the air.

The body turned into streamers and flew into the distance, and they would observe the shape of the ship from the air up close.

This group of flying teams has been upgraded and changed compared to the past.

Attached to his body were some incantations that Xia Daiti had parsed through the aura of light.

It allows them to fly in the air much faster, especially during the day when the sun is high, and can also improve their physical fitness and attack style, and carry out long-range attacks composed of beams.

Now the speed of withdrawal has been improved to a notch compared to the past.

And now it's the scorching sun.

The streamers brought out by the flight of their bodies blended perfectly with the scorching sun in the sky. By the way, they concealed their figures in the air.

The small body is still in the air, and it is easy to hide.

Flying extremely fast, he came to the sky above the broken ship.

Begin to quickly record the situation on the ship from all angles, and relay it to Lucilia through the internal network in her mind.

At this time, Lucilia was on the deck repeating the information that had been passed on.

"It is 63 meters long and 21 meters wide, with only one artillery deck, presumably a merchant ship.

There are live creatures on board...... Plant Monster ...... No, it's an undead creature! ”

"There is something strange about these undead creatures, they have plants and vines tangled around their bodies, and they merge with the plant vines.

The plants in the cracks of the ship have changed, and some of the buds have bloomed! The flowers were shooting at them. ”

Hearing this, Simon immediately lifted the lens structure on his face and quickly observed the situation in the distance.

I saw that on the ship made of broken gray planks and green plants, strange flowers appeared one after another.

The flowers swayed back and forth, spitting gray-black into the air.

Bullets like seeds shoot quickly into the sky. So that Jiu and the others, who were scouting in the sky, had to fly quickly to dodge.

More and more flowers are blooming.

The seeds sprayed upwards have formed a barrage.

"Let them come back."

Hearing a voice overhead, Lucilia immediately gave the order.

In the distance, Jiu, who was evading detection in the air, and the flying team led by him immediately began to flee in all directions.

They then regrouped in a distant distance and headed back to the ship.

The tattered ships began to speed towards them.

"Prepare for battle!"

Arka said, looking at One and his teammates in the observation room.

"I'll leave the above reconnaissance to you."

After saying that, he jumped directly from the window.

Look at the ship in the distance.

"Jason, the first wave of engagement is up to you. Get the ship's seismic cannon in motion. And the cannon that never fired. ”

Hearing this, Jason rubbed his hands and nodded a little impatiently.

Taking control of the Mark of Dawn, he stretched out his right hand and began to fiddle.

The shutters of the lower artillery decks were automatically removed, and the guns poked their heads out of the muzzles. Move left and right as Jason's arm swings.

After experiencing it for a while, Jason nodded.

The sound of dawn quickly turned the bow of the ship to meet the enemy from its side.

"Bang!"

However, the first cannon was not fired by them, but from a distance.

The enemy attacked before they did.

The bow of the broken ship had a large hole in the place where the bow resembled, and a huge flower structure like a trumpet flower protruded from the hole.

With the shrinkage of the trumpet flower.

Something about the size of a normal human, gray-black seed, was sprayed.

Piercing the air, it made a screeching sound.

"I'll come." Simon said as he raised his right hand from the side of the boat.

The treasure of the index finger flashed slightly, and the precise hand composed of the entire right hand began to move, and a cannon barrel appeared in the hand.

The muzzle of the cannon was pointed at the flying shells.

A ball of light condensed and erupted.

Extremely fast, it quickly sliced through a straight line, and the seed cannonballs flew in with precision.

The moment it is made of contact, it can be seen that the beam is made of pure flame energy.

The ball of light grew larger the moment it hit, and with an explosion, the seed fell into the sea with gray and black smoke.

The sound of dawn has also been wrapped in a faint film of magic.

"The enemy's ranged attack is much wider than ours." Jason looked at it and said.

But apparently there was only one flower cannon on the bow of the ship.

At this time, the flower cannon seemed to be brewing a second attack.

But when attacking, the battered ship did not stop, but continued to move towards them.

At the moment when the Flower Cannon is about to attack.

Finally fell into the range of their attack in Arka.

Jason let go of his right hand that controlled the normal rock cannon, and instead raised his left hand and swung it down.

With his control, Azora, who was originally fixed to the top of the tail tower, was destroyed, and the muzzle of the black hole was quickly reversed.

In an instant, the enemy ship was taken aim.

The ship's strongest siege weapon was a blue treasure they had acquired when they first arrived in the Infinite Sea.

A weapon of war built by Vasteva.

With the exception of the previous test launches, it has never been used to attack the enemy.

This is his first business.

With Jason waving his hand, it started.

A large amount of energy converged in the muzzle of the cannon, and the energy converged.

A gray-white orb quickly pierced through the air and flew towards the enemy ship.

Everyone's attention was focused on the gray-white ball of light that erupted.

With a straight line, it hit the enemy's bow with precision, which is the area where the flower cannon is located.

The moment it was touched, the gray sphere expanded.

The breach in the bow of the ship and the area where the prime minister of the flower-gunboat was located were completely wrapped.

With a blinding light flickering.

Xia Daiti on the ship immediately waved his hand, grasping the light that was shooting towards them in his hand.

As the light faded, the crowd saw clearly what was going on with the enemy ships.

The head was completely destroyed, and the flower cannon had long since disappeared, and there was not even a wreckage.

The head of the enemy's already dilapidated ship appeared with a sunken semicircular gap.

It's like someone has dug it up.

And at this moment, the enemy's ships also slowed down.

Even because a large piece of structure is missing, it begins to become unstable and shakes slightly.

The plants above begin to connect delicately with each other. The flowers and plants began to become more compact.

"Awesome, it's a ship killer." For the first time, Simon sees the destruction of Atora attacking an enemy ship.

The power of this attack is so satisfying.

At this time, the enemy ship, which was completely close to the range of the engagement, Jason raised his right hand and waved it down.

The side rock cannons, which had been completely aimed at the target, were fired instantly, and one shell after another was thrown out in a dull sound.

Arc after arc, smashing accurately into the enemy's already tattered ship.

The crunching sound even reached their ears.

The already fragile planks and vines were smashed to pieces, and holes were revealed.

However, such a shattering would obviously not do much damage to the ship.

It is difficult to deal enough damage to the already broken ship to sink it.

"Bang!"

However, the shells that smashed into the enemy ships did not stop there. Instead, a raging fire erupted from the explosion, setting its surroundings on fire.

Seeing this effect, Simon smiled.

"This is no ordinary shell, they are good to live with."

These cannonballs had already been modified by Simon, and had long since been transformed into bomb-like structures, with incantations drawn inside.

The dilapidated ship was instantly reduced to a sea of fire.

The distance was shortened, and they were finally able to see the strange monsters on the deck.

Undead creatures resemble rotting skeletons, but they are covered in greenery.

All kinds of weeds and vegetation attach to their bodies like moss. You can even see the bright flowers on the bodies of some of the undead.

It doesn't match their appearance at all.

The tattered ship stretched out one giant vine tentacle after another. These dark green vine tentacles also have structures similar to those of sinew bones.

But the distance of this vine's tentacles is difficult to attack Arka them.

I didn't understand what I was trying to do.

At this time, the attack of the vine tentacles shocked everyone.

The vines wrapped around the undead on the ship, and then hurled at them like a stone thrower.

"Jumping like this?"

Although they were a little surprised, everyone immediately began to deal with it.

Looking at the undead creatures flying towards them in a parabolic line in the air, they can't let these ghosts pollute the sound of dawn.

The first to move was the crystal dragon that had been lying on top of the mast. She flapped her wings and flew up, exhaling a crystal clear breath.

With the breath of the flight, the first batch of undead who flew over were immediately condensed into crystals in the air.

The crystal dragon suddenly flew in the air with wings and a strange posture, and made a maneuver on the spot.

A flick.

The luster of the iridescent color radiated around the beautiful brilliance, and the tail flicked and smashed against the condensed crystal.

It shattered into pieces and fell towards the sea.

The beams of light that Xia Daiti had originally pinched in her hands turned into spheres and were thrown out by her.

smashed into the undead in the air, cutting them off halfway.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Simon laughed.

The splint of the Dawn Eagle suddenly opened.

A buzzing sound came out.

One sentry after another flew out frantically.

As far as the eye could see, there were at least thirty or forty.

It flew out like a swarm of bees, and after dozens of machines that had been flying silently gathered together, they could clearly hear their roar.

Dense firing rang out.

This group of Sentinel Aircraft formed a solid barrier, and a dense barrage of bullets was launched.
