Originally, Ian thought that the so-called mortal danger was due to the fact that the armored shark's lair had been destroyed by the maze and the environment had changed drastically - not to mention other things, it was just that the area around the lair was generating heat and was dormant. The sharks that were trying to grow and metamorphose would definitely be severely damaged, and their bodies would be severely damaged.
It's not surprising to die.
In the final analysis, the entire South China Sea labyrinth ecosystem is very likely to be dependent on abnormal mutations and high-energy catalysis caused by nuclear radiation leaked from orbital accelerators... In this case, it is not very strange to let out heat from time to time. Combined with the recent ruins, it may be
In the case of major changes, this is very reasonable.
Unexpectedly, the reason why the armored shark was in danger was very simple.
——Someone is fishing in this place!
Patting Shark's head, Ian gestured to him to look at the shadowy wooden roots in front of him. Immediately, Iron Shark realized that he had almost broken into the dragnet just now.
Yes, even the living fishing nets of the living tree ship can never stop an armored shark. When it collides with all its strength, even the armored ship will be knocked out of a hole.
However, it is obvious that there must be many strong people in this fleet who are good at fishing and hunting sharks. Maybe one person cannot deal with it alone, but it is almost inevitable that several people will attack it.
At that time, I was really rejected by others and could only become a delicacy in the mouths of others.
Thinking of this, the armored shark immediately trembled all over and became even more well-behaved.
Ian never imagined that this shark could have such a complicated mind. In comparison, his thoughts were very simple.
"Let me see what's going on with your fleet."
After years of training, Ian's precognitive vision is still unable to be maintained within a certain range for a long time, but the range of prediction has also expanded from more than 200 meters in diameter to more than 500 meters in diameter.
But this is not the limit - relying on the silver chip to block other perceptions and simply focusing on all targets on a line, his prediction range can directly extend to the kilometer level.
At this moment, Ian was like this. He slowly looked around all the sea areas in front and above, just like a radar scan. He did not observe carefully. He just glanced at it and immediately ignored the colors and outlines of the fog in his field of vision.
Therefore, after ten seconds, he roughly scanned the core personnel on several core ships of this fleet.
The result surprised the young man.
"One first-level peak, two first-level ones, and an alchemical cannon?"
Ian couldn't say he was shocked, he could only say he was very surprised - how could a caravan have at least three sublimated people, and also have such things as alchemy cannons? If you include other ships that were not scanned, this sublimated
The number of readers may even increase!
Although it sounds like, in the final analysis, they are just a handful of sublimators and alchemical artillery... But in the world of Terra, the status of sublimators is actually very noble, especially the sublimators at the peak of the first energy level.
It can be regarded as the reserve force of the nobles.
Yes, the second level is the bottom line for nobles in the world of Terra, but it is also the upper limit for most nobles - even if there is a strong family inheritance, if the talent is not good and the resources are insufficient, most noble ascendants will not be able to reach this level.
He is only at the second level in his life, and there are even fewer people who can reach the peak of excellence like Viscount Grant.
Take Ian himself as an example. On the surface, he is only a first-level Wavesinger. His energy level is low, and his inheritance is also low-level. In theory, he is at the bottom of the contempt chain of Ascendants... But even with such a low level The inheritance is enough to serve as the captain of a large ship. Even the ocean explorer who can travel across the windless zone, the first-level wave chanter is an extremely important member, not to mention the second-level wave chanter master. , enough to serve as the chief officer of an exploration mission in the Imperial Royal Ocean Exploration Team.
Not to mention the small benefits such as tax exemption, certificate accreditation, and city entry fee exemption...
Generally speaking, even if it is a transnational caravan of a large chamber of commerce, only one first-level ascendant can stand up to the sky and drive away the monsters along the coast. If a big event happens, not a few first-level ones can withstand it. , and the second level is driven out of their minds to lead a caravan, unless it is an official national trade caravan... But in that case, the second level cannot support the factory.
And, the most important thing is...
That is, the entire fleet is almost "killable" hostile to itself!
"That's weird! Why are they so hostile to me? I'm just a white citizen who hasn't met them yet!"
Alarm bells rang in Ian's heart, and he smelled danger: "In recent times... the only one who has become enemies with me is Patrick from the imperial capital!"
"Could it be that this pirate ship has something to do with him? It's not impossible..."
He knew it in his heart and had already made some guesses, but the young man made up his mind to continue to find out more clearly: "Shark Shark, just stay here and don't walk around randomly. I'll go and check the situation and come back."
Having said this, Ian abandoned all sublimation organs and just relied on the swimming skills he had developed in the past to slowly swim towards the surrounding waters and use his precognitive vision to explore the entire fleet.
The silver-green halo converged into a line, and he stared at the distant situation like a radar scan.
The result shocked Ian.
In this fleet, there is one ascendant at the peak of the first energy level, two high-level first-level people, and two mid-level people, for a total of five ascendants.
To be honest, the average imperial nobles do not have this kind of subordinate lineup. There is one peak among the five first-level ones, which can be just right to form a small knight group. As long as you don't come to Nanling, where there are several second-level peak totems. In the main hell competition area, if you go to the general frontier, it is enough to open several pioneer villages and towns.
Viscount Grant is different. His father, Grant Sr., brought a small group of knights to Nanling back then, and there is no shortage of inheritance. Therefore, there are seven ascendants in the escort team, including the old knight Yam. There are also four ascendants in the three fleets, and their strength is far superior to that of ordinary viscounts.
In the final analysis, if the old Viscount Grant does not die and advances to the third level, he will be a template for a new border marquis.
In addition, there are more than 20 alchemical cannons on the fleet in total... This is the truly thrilling part.
More than 20 guns! The entire Harrison Port Guard only has more than 20 guns. The entire city, large and small, plus the mobile artillery accompanying the army, only has more than 80 guns!
What is the origin of this fleet, and it actually has a quarter of the firepower of a frontier fortress town?
Of course, this cannot actually be compared like this. The artillery shells of these pirate fleets are mainly artillery. There are some alchemy artillery on the flagship, which is completely different from the alchemy artillery position built by Viscount Grant.
After all, the pirate fleet does not have to worry about being surrounded by several second-level peak-level monsters, so it naturally does not need such high firepower.
But even so, this is quite outrageous.
More than that.
Soon, Ian discovered another piece of information that made him feel "horrifying".
——The back cabin of the flagship of the first-level ‘captain’... actually has purple mist!
Although it is only lavender, it is also the breath of the second energy level!
"What on earth?!"
Ian's eyes were horrified, and he almost wanted to turn around and moisten his eyes.
Fortunately, he soon realized that it was not a second-level sublimator, but a rather huge dead thing, at least three or four meters high.
After thinking for a while, Ian decided to get closer and take a closer look.
Soon, with the cooperation of precognitive vision and silver chip, silver fonts appeared in front of my eyes.
