Volume Three, Blood and Fire, Chapter 212, Sea Monster (1)
The Hydra people's patrol ship slowly entered the harbor. Compared with the smuggling ship, the patrol ship was simply huge, let alone a monster like a battleship with a displacement of several thousand tons on it. It was really unimaginable. .
But everyone on the smuggling boat looked proudly at the Hydra people opposite, as if they were the real strong ones.
The Hyderan patrol ship was parked there obediently. After seeing the power of Iloth again, the officers and sailors on the ship all stayed on the ship.
The sea seemed to be rolled up, and it was impossible to tell where was the sky and where was the sea.
The night looked bright because of the stars, but underneath the storm, it was pitch black.
The ship in the storm was like a toy of Poseidon, being gently thrown up and dropped heavily by him.
Even though he was hiding in the harbor, he could still feel the terrifying power of nature. Even the magic cast by the legendary mage was eclipsed by this real storm.
The windows were closed tightly, and sea water leaked in through the gaps, but it was frozen by Ekaterina.
In the darkness, Ilosu suddenly felt that Ekaterina began to move. After a sound of taking off her dress, a fiery body rolled into Ilosu's arms... ..
Ah, the creation of life!
In the face of the powerful power of nature, even legendary magic will be eclipsed. I am afraid that only the magic of the gods can do this.
However, humans have been fighting against the power of nature for tens of thousands of years.
In the storm, both the sailors of the Crimson Principality and the navy of the Kingdom of Hydra showed incomparable courage and perseverance. It was this courage and perseverance that enabled the two ships to survive the terrible storm safely. storm.
But after the storm, it was indeed devastated.
The loss of the "Pearl Goddess" smuggling ship was obviously much greater. After all, it was far from as strong and sturdy as the warships of the Kingdom of Hydra.
Several sections of the mast were broken, and the guardrail on the deck was washed away. Fortunately, the canvas and trusses tightly tied to both sides of the deck were still there.
After the storm passed, emergency repairs began, and everyone was busy.
Because of the shortage of manpower, Captain Martin borrowed many sailors from the Hydra people to help repair the ship.
The sailors on the "Pearl Goddess" were as if they were victors, arrogantly commanding the Hydera navy sailors who usually made them talk about it. Even the materials for repairing the ship were obtained from the Hydera patrol ship. Taken.
Faced with the rudeness of the sailors on the smuggling ship, the Hydera people dared not speak out in anger. After all, there was a strong man from the sanctuary and a powerful magician on board that ship.
It took a full day, but the two boats were finally almost repaired.
The "Pearl Goddess" triumphantly sailed out of the small and crowded harbor like a conqueror, while the Hydra patrol ship followed the "Pearl Goddess" one sea mile behind like a follower. place.
At noon, the "Pearl Goddess" finally sailed away from the sea area full of reefs and crises.
Now that he knew that this powerful knight and magician was on board, Captain Martin's fear had long since dissipated.
Not only Captain Martin, but even the sailors all thought so. After all, the opportunity to show off like this would probably never come again.
Now they are really looking forward to seeing those Hydra patrol ships again, so that the Hydra people can see the terrifying force possessed by the "Pearl Goddess".
Of course, forget about the Hydra people's main battleship - the magic sail battleship, that thing is beyond the reach of human beings.
Not to mention that the Magic Sail Battleship must be equipped with at least one Sanctuary Warrior and Sanctuary Mage. Even if everyone on the ship can be killed, one's own ship will definitely be destroyed first.
I'm just worried about how the vast sea will be able to gain a foothold by then.
To the disappointment of the people on board, the sea was calm and there was no trace of any ship at all.
Just when the sailors were feeling downcast, suddenly the lookout whistle sounded an alarm.
Unlike usual, the sailors did not prepare for battle in a panic. Instead, they all climbed up the mast happily. Even Captain Martin couldn't help climbing up the mast. Of course, the first mate was sent by him to invite the powerful saint.
Knight and Sorceress.
But what frightened and disappointed them was that what the alarm heralded was not Hydera's warship, but a giant octopus with a body length of hundreds of meters, swimming leisurely on the sea.
To the sailors on the ship, nothing could be closer to the devil than this terrifying creature.
This giant octopus can easily overturn a boat, and a wave of its huge tentacles can break the boat in two.
The strongest ship is just a toy made of paper in front of it.
The sailors climbed down the mast tremblingly one by one. With such a huge size, even the legendary warriors could not cause any fatal damage for a while because it was so big.
Sometimes, being big is also a strength.
What's more, an octopus that can grow to such a big size must also be a monster, possessing powerful water or ice magic.
"Katya, can you deal with that big guy?" Ilosi, who stepped onto the deck, asked Ekaterina. Facing such a huge octopus, Ilosi had no good solution.
If you fight hard and fight hard, Elos is sure to kill this octopus bit by bit, but as a monster of the deep sea, this octopus must have high command and will definitely dive into the deep sea when faced with danger.
In this case, Elos had no choice.
Moreover, during the battle, there is no guarantee that the smuggling ship "Pearl Goddess" will not be affected, and the situation of the people on the ship will be life or death.
Besides, I don’t know if such a big octopus can hold a grudge. If there is another sneak attack and the ship is destroyed, should we let everyone swim to land?
"We're not sure. The giant octopus's vitality is extremely tenacious. Ordinary magic can't harm it. Even if it is seriously injured, it will tear our ship into pieces in its rage. To deal with it, I'm afraid we will need legendary spells.
, and only spells that determine death such as finger of death and soul annihilation will be effective, but this monster is too big, and a single spell is definitely not enough." Yekaterina shook her head and said.
"Is there any way to avoid it?" Iroth asked.
"Okay, I have a spell that can temporarily block the ship. I guess the big octopus's perception won't be too strong." With that said, Ekaterina walked to the side of the ship and cast magic.
Everyone saw a faint blue light emitting from Ekaterina's hand, quickly enveloping the "Pearl Goddess", and then disappeared.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the giant octopus swam past the boat leisurely, not even noticing that a ship was passing by it.
Even so, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they clenched the weapons in their hands. Even though they knew it was of no use, they still held on to this ray of comfort, for fear that the giant octopus would suddenly discover their ship.
As the octopus gradually disappeared, everyone felt completely relieved.
Just when everyone thought the matter had calmed down, the sailor who was looking out suddenly shouted: "Oh no, that octopus is running towards the Hydra patrol ship..."
Captain Martin was shocked and immediately climbed up the mast to look at the position of the giant octopus and the Hydra patrol ship in the distance.
I saw the giant octopus quickly spraying water and swimming towards the Hydra patrol ship as if it had discovered its favorite toy.
The sailors on the patrol ship were all ashen-faced and desperate. Those who reacted quickly jumped into the cold water.
If you jump into the water in this environment, if you don't get rescue within an hour, you will definitely die of hypothermia, but these navy sailors can't worry about so much right now...
At this moment, the sea is roaring, sea monsters are roaring, and rows of huge waves are set off from time to time. The huge waves rush forward row after row, rush towards the patrol ship, and throw the patrol ship high into the air.
Later, before the patrol ship landed on the sea, the huge tentacles of the giant octopus entangled the patrol ship.
In an instant, this cutting-edge Hydra patrol ship was crushed into pieces by the tentacles of the giant octopus. The fragments were scattered in various directions and floated to the surface of the sea.
As the patrol ship was destroyed, the giant octopus seemed to have lost its plaything. It lost interest and sank into the deep sea, never moving again.
The vortex formed when diving into the deep sea ruthlessly brought the sailors and ship fragments and debris on the sea into the deep sea, making no sound anymore.
Only the waves stirred up by the vortex continued one after another, and then gradually returned to calm...
