Chapter 22: Fairy Snail (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The smell of the peculiar ingredients comes from the depths of the huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea.
The intensity is comparable to the statue of the mother worm!
The stronger the smell of a particular ingredient, the more potential it contains.
That's a good thing.
However, the not-so-good thing is ......
The more potential a fresh ingredient has, the stronger it usually is!
How strong is the sea monster hiding in the depths of the whirlpool?
Alan couldn't figure it out.
But he was sure that it must be more terrifying than entering the demon Han Ning!
Although the special ingredients are good, they are not worth exchanging their lives.
Alan just wants to get through this treacherous sea quickly.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
In the huge whirlpool, white spray suddenly appeared.
One after the other, the waves rolled over.
Crystal clear water droplets, splashing in the setting sun.
It seems to be full of broken jade pearls.
Dragged out a curved rainbow.
In the midst of this magical and magnificent beauty......
Nearly 100 mermaids collectively surfaced to the surface, exposing their delicate carcasses.
Stretch your jade arms and kiss with a smile.
Call passengers into the water and have fun.
Alan couldn't help but feel a tingling on his scalp!
This meeting was completely unexpected by him.
On deck, the sailors also looked at each other.
Although they have rich sailing experience, this is the first time they have witnessed such a scene of a large group of mermaids going out en masse!
Mermaids, a sea people who carry countless legends.
Theoretically, it's not evil.
At least it's easier to deal with than a female kraken.
The mermaid's singing voice also has hypnotic magic.
However, not as domineering as the siren's singing.
As long as you are vigilant, you should not be tempted.
Alan still couldn't get his peace of mind.
Because of the whirlpools on the surface of the sea, it is constantly expanding.
Continue with this momentum......
Your own sailboat will soon be sucked into the whirlpool.
After that, the mermaids that emerged from the whirlpool would probably not be polite to those who fell into the water, right?
Allen's concerns soon became a reality.
And it's a reality far more terrifying than his worst intentions!
Horror beyond imagination!
Above the sea, the mermaids smiled and sang happily.
It's just a beautiful appearance.
The terrifying truth is slowly emerging from the sea!
The first thing that comes to people's attention is the arched snail shell.
It looks like a snail magnified a million times.
Huge snail shell, comparable in size to a large sailing ship.
The white volute is carved like beautiful jade.
The volute opens and extends a full ninety tentacles.
The jade-white tentacles, each one twenty or thirty meters long, are as thick as an adult's waist!
So, the monster that stirs the sea is a giant white nautilus?
Yes, but not exactly!
Alan also noticed that each of the giant nautilus's tentacles had a mermaid's tail attached to the end.
To be more precise, every mermaid on the surface of the sea is an evolution of the end of a giant nautilus's tentacles.
Biologically, it is called "mimicry bait".
It's like the tentacle on the top of the anglerfish's head, and the ends can glow, like a small lantern.
Attract prey with excessive curiosity in the deep sea, and come close to send them to their deaths.
The Nautilus-like sea monster is trying to trap a passing ship in a similar way!
Can't wait!
Alan turned and waved at the captain.
The captain understood, and hurriedly ordered: "Bow cannon, fire!" ”
Rumble!
Rumble!
The rumbling sound of cannons shook the sea and the sky!
The shells hit the shells of the snails and shattered into iron slag!
The sea monster's snail shell is undamaged!
The naval guns could not repel the sea monster, but instead completely enraged her!
Dance wildly with mermaid tentacles and chant spells in unison!
The sea then set up waves.
Like a huge blue cliff, crashing into a sailboat!
The hull of the ship was hit by the stormy waves, and the deck was violently jolted!
The sailors, screaming and falling off the ship.
The dumplings are general, and they fall into the sea one after another!
Overboard, struggling in the whirlpool.
The sea monster stretched out ninety bewitching and gorgeous mermaid tentacles, stretched its jade arms and wrists, and laughed and hugged the drowning man......
Then, a merciless strangulation began!
The so-called "mermaid" is not only the mimic capture foot of the sea monster, but also the feeding organ.
The cherry mouth is opened, revealing the broken jade shell teeth......
Crazy to tear the sailor in his arms!
Eat human flesh raw and drink human blood!
The sea is churning with blood, and the demons are raging.
The screams of the victims came and went.
The horror scene frightened the people on deck.
"Alan!"
Lady Sola transforms into fairy form and flies back to Alan's side.
"It's not good! Gotta try to rescue the drowning man! ”
Alan gripped the sail line with his left hand to avoid being thrown overboard.
He nodded hastily at Lady Sora, pulled out the feather charm, and summoned the griffon.
The sea monster's water-controlling magic turned the otherwise calm sea upside down.
The waves are too strong for the lifeboat to protect itself and is useless.
Only those who are good at flying will have a chance to salvage those who have fallen overboard.
In addition to Sora, only Allen's griffon can fly.
At the critical moment, Eren could barely keep his composure, remembering to bless Griffon and Sora with the "Giant Magic".
Increases the physique attribute by two points, doubles the size of the body, and rescues several more people who have fallen into the water every time you fly through the Angry Sea.
Alan couldn't fly and couldn't be part of the rescue, but he didn't want to watch from the boat either.
As the leader of the immigrant fleet, he has a mission that he has to offer.
Stop this catastrophe from continuing to worsen at its roots!
The griffin returned and placed the rescued sailors on deck.
Alan rode onto the back of the griffin and, telepathically, steered the griffin into the skies above the sea monster.
Arriving at the predetermined location, Alan activates the "Lost Walk" and teleports directly to the snail shell.
“Umbardacil!”
Alan chanted a spell and slapped his palm on the conch shell, blessing the sea monster with a spell prepared in advance.
2-ring "Berserk", often considered a buff spell.
Recipient, increases physical stats by 2.
During the rage, psychic resistance will also be greatly increased.
Eren is not stupid or crazy, why should he bless the sea monster with a buff spell?
Because, there is a small side effect of "berserk".
Creatures in a berserk state are extremely excited and unable to calmly stay focused on casting.
The sea monster is currently working its magic to turn the river and sea, and must maintain a high level of concentration in order to control the waves accurately.
Allen shot it with a "berserk technique", and the sea monster couldn't help but get excited.
Mental fluctuations are violently generated, and cast focus is interrupted.
On the surface of the sea, the rough waves gradually become soothing.
The maelstrom that tried to devour the sailing ship was also weak in follow-up.
Alan didn't dare to delay at all, his palms were close to the snail shell, and he tried his best to blast out a "thunder burst wave" against his face!
Bang!!
The clear sky thunders, shaking the angry sea!
Sonic attack, which doubles damage to hard and brittle snail shells.
Allen expected that if this palm was bombarded, not to mention killing the sea monster on the spot, at least it would have to smash the snail shell.
However, when I looked down, there were two clear palm prints left on the surface of the snail shell.
Around the palm print, radial cracks are faintly visible, as fine as spider silk, which is not enough to cause heavy damage to the whole snail shell.
Allen's heart is horrified!
He had already used all his strength, but he could only inflict this level of damage on the sea monster's shell......
It can only show that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
At least two big notches apart!
This time, he failed to seriously injure the sea monster, but it was enough to annoy her.
Free up two mermaid tentacles, roll back, and wrap around Alan on the snail shell.
The carcass of a mermaid is slippery and cold.
Four naked jade arms strangled Allen's neck, making him feel suffocated.
Two mermaids, grinning and baring, gnawed wildly on him.
Allen's "steel and iron bones" couldn't stop the mermaid's cherry mouth, and he was bitten and drenched in blood in a blink of an eye!
Enduring the dizziness and severe pain, Alan struggled desperately, and finally broke free from one of his left arms.
Swish!
The palm cracked, and an ivory bone whip was thrown.
A soft bone whip that hardens at the end and metamorphoses into hollow bone spurs more than a foot long.
Alan remotely controlled the bone whip and wriggled against the snail shell, finding the part that had just been bombarded with a "thunder burst wave".
Slender bone spurs, through the cracks in the shell, burrowed into it, and penetrated deep into the soft flesh inside the shell.
Inject toxins!
Crazy vampire!
This time, it really hurts the sea monster!
The mermaid's tentacles twitched one after another.
The gorgeous faces showed the color of pain.
Seemingly frightened, the sea monster gave up the attack on the fleet and quickly dived.
Swish!
Eren withdrew his bone spurs and struggled to break free from his tentacles.
The tall and straight body turned into a cloud of silver mist.
Escape before you are dragged into the deep sea by a sea monster!
……
Above the sea, 100 meters high.
A cloud of silver mist emerged out of thin air, condensing into a human form.
Alan flashed in the air.
Overhead, there happened to be a cloud of shadows.
Eren raised his hand and grabbed the talon.
Escorted by griffins, return to the deck safely.
……
After a storm, more than 100 people were killed.
Fortunately, Alan fought off the sea monster and saved the remaining ten migrant ships.
Griffons and Sora, exhausted to rescue the drowning man.
However, relying only on the two of them, they can't be busy after all.
The drowning people, who were too late to rescue, were swallowed up by the whirlpool one after another.
Alan looked in his eyes and was speechless.
A system prompt made the heavy mood slightly better.
"Eat a special ingredient: the blood of a fairy snail!"
"Potential +3!"
"Physique +1!"
"Fairy snail ......," Alan muttered to himself.
The terrifying sea monster has a nice name.
……
After a hard fight, Alan returned to the cabin to rest.
Just as I was about to go to bed, I suddenly received a system prompt.
"Do you want to spend 4 points of potential to fuse 'Thunder Burst Wave' and 'Moonlight Light' to deduce new martial arts?"
Alan stared and groaned.
The battle with the fairy snail caused him a lot of psychological impact.
At this stage, the third-order "Thunder Burst Wave" is no longer enough to kill a strong enemy in an instant.
From the original killer weapon, it has been downgraded to a conventional weapon.
There are exactly 4 potentials in your hands.
Why don't you fuse a Tier 4 martial art ......?
Maybe it can replace the "Thunder Burst Wave" as a new killer feature!
Alan made up his mind.
Didi –
"The deduction is complete!"
Tier 4 Unnamed Martial Art: Spend 10 mana, centered on yourself, and burst within a radius of 10 meters, dealing group radiant damage!
This skill doubles the damage of shape-shifting creatures and has a chance to seal their shapeshifting abilities!
"Please give this light martial art a name."
Alan thought for a moment and responded to the system: "Moon Shadow Bomb!" ”
If you don't name a new art, it will be automatically replaced with "Moon Shadow Bullet".
After some testing, Allen found that the power of the "Moon Shadow Bomb" was better than that of the "Thunder Burst Wave".
Let's take the power of the 1-ring magic "Thundering Wave" as a benchmark.
The power of the "Thunder Burst Wave" is equivalent to 4 times that of the "Thunder Wave".
The "Moon Shadow Bomb" is equivalent to 5 times the "Thunder Wave".
If your opponent is a shapeshifting creature, such as a Beast Cultist, the Moon Shadow Bullet is twice as powerful!
Even if the opponent is not killed on the spot, it is possible that the ability to transform will be permanently sealed.
The probability that the seal will take effect depends on the mental confrontation between the two sides.
Allen's spiritual attributes, up to 30 points!
Unless the opponent's spiritual attribute is higher than his, it is basically impossible to escape the doom of being sealed.
……
After nearly three months at sea, the migrant fleet finally arrived at its destination.
At the time of departure, twelve large ships with a total of four thousand one hundred and twenty passengers.
On the way, he encountered storms and shipwrecks, coupled with disease and attrition, and finally arrived safely on Silvermoon Island, with 3,600 people.
During the long voyage, thirty-seven little lives were born on board.
Under the care of his parents and compatriots, he was lucky to survive.
"Hopefully that will be a good sign."
Alan stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the mist covering Silvermoon Harbor, full of anticipation and muttering to himself.
