Shelling from afar covered the sea area, quickly putting the exploration ship into an extremely bad situation.
The captain immediately steered the ship, and others returned to their posts immediately.
Ian stood near Isengard, and he frowned slightly - the armored living wooden ship was still a long way away from the Low Beam, but the gunboats of the pirate fleet seemed to have found the Low Beam.
This speed is really abnormal. There must be spies on the Dipbeam leaking information.
However, when he was making the appraisal, he had used his precognitive vision to read the information of all the crew members - they did not have any malicious intentions. Although a few of them were filled with deathly aura, this was also a normal crisis for this operation.
"Perhaps it's not the people, but the ships and instruments that have been tampered with."
Guessing this won't change anything, because on the other side of the storm, the shadow of the pirate fleet's gunboats has vaguely emerged on the other side of the sea.
There was no warning, no willingness to communicate.
They continued to fire.
In the deep curtain of rain, the flames of the gunboat's cannons were like thunder on the sea, and high-explosive bombs whizzed past the clouds and mist, grazing the low beam and falling in the surrounding sea area.
These cannonballs are not just left to chance, but Master Gosei's power deflects them.
The pale white gust of wind was like a sharp blade, and some cannonballs were cut into pieces by invisible sharp knives in mid-air before they even got close - and those that were not very accurate in the first place, the old man pushed them further away.
At the same time, the crew of the Diplight also pushed out the alchemical cannons one after another and pointed the deep muzzles into the distance.
In such a stormy environment, it is almost impossible to hit the target accurately, but what if you get hit?
The gunner skillfully activated the inscription array, and the lightning erupted in a concentrated manner, causing the cannonballs to blast through the atmospheric rain curtain and explode in the sea in front of the enemy, causing waves to spread in all directions. The hot lightning forced the pirate gunboats to stop approaching.
There are four alchemy cannons on the left and right sides of the ship. The range is much longer than ordinary artillery and the power is greater. Even if the firepower density of the two gunboats is much higher than that of the ship, they cannot fire at this distance.
And the exploration ship gunfire.
Not to mention that Master Gosei is in charge, and the Dibeam seems to be in a 100% evasion buff state. It can only attack unilaterally, and the cannonballs of other ships cannot get close.
But that's the problem - after sensing the strength of the enemy, the pirate gunboats simply gave up getting close and firing, and instead swayed far away from the extreme fire range of the Dipbeam and followed them, harassing them with shells and at the same time guiding the ones behind them.
The fleet is approaching.
Now it's everyone's turn and there is nothing they can do against the pirates... Even though Master Gosei has overwhelming force, he cannot leave the ship and can only defend.
The Dipbeam was slowly adjusting its direction. The sea area ahead was already close to the starting point of the big storm that year, where the mountains in the deep sea were located.
Most people believe that there is an active volcano in the deep sea, or that the lava channels opened by pre-era civilizations, and that the mazes and ruins are all based on that submarine volcano.
This statement is not wrong. In short, the source of the mutation occurred there. The endless lightnings were densely intertwined there, and even piled up into a vortex shape like a bird's nest. The natural spiritual energy field visible to the naked eye was in the sky and the earth.
Howling and flashing.
Continuous lightning strikes even made the entire sea area as bright as day for a long period of time.
Even with Master Gosei, no ship dared to sail straight towards the center of this abnormal area. The captain was controlling the direction with a serious face. He controlled the small ship to turn around in the flood and avoid it.
The largest waves penetrated from the side into areas where the storm was relatively weak.
The gunboat is being thrown away - although they also have Ascendants to assist them in resisting the wind and waves, their level is far inferior to that of Master Gosei.
If the enemy's strength is only like this, then the pirates will be thrown away by the exploration ship very quickly. It won't take long before the pirates' sublimated pirates will be exhausted in the increasingly turbulent waves and must retreat.
But no one would think that the enemy is so easy to deal with.
Sure enough, due to the restraint of the gunboat, the lookout of the slowed-down exploration ship sent a warning: there was a large ship without a flag in the northeast. There was a protective statue on the bow that could calm the wind and waves. It was moving very fast and was coming from the side.
Fang Zhi plunged straight into the path of the dipped beam.
"Sure enough, they are the elf pirates from Canaan Moore, or a large fleet."
Master Gosei squinted his eyes. His artificial eyes seemed to have the function of telescopes. He had already observed the approach of the pirate fleet before Ian could see clearly.
"Ian, tell the captain." The old man said in a deep voice: "That ship is a large frigate from Canaan Moore. It has been modified to carry fourteen or even eighteen guns - tell him to pay attention. Although I can block it,
But I can’t let the opponent use artillery to consume my energy!”
The Swamp Crocodile Dragon at the peak of its second level can rely on the terrain and mud to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of more than twenty alchemical cannons with only minor injuries. Naturally, Master Gosei can do the same thing, and even...
better.
"wind."
Standing on the deck, the hunchbacked old man raised his crutches, made an imaginary circle in mid-air, and then made another imaginary circle. Immediately, a seemingly endless and endless rushing wind surged out from these two circles.
, and even formed two horizontal tornadoes surging around the low beam.
The two tornadoes swept through the surrounding sea area with unstoppable momentum, and more than a dozen incoming cannonballs were immediately caught in these tornadoes, and were immediately pinched and exploded in them - golden-red flames in the white cracks
It shimmered and disappeared, and the surrounding waves were blown away by this force.
The old man's hunchback was blown by the strong wind, and the rigid metal outline was vaguely exposed under the robe... It was not just a simple hunchback, but some kind of structure that had not been fully developed.
The violent storm now became part of his power. Master Gosei was not affected by the environment at all. Instead, he seemed to be the ruler of this storm.
The Cloud Shaper...is the one who shapes the strong winds and flowing clouds, and is the master of the storm.
Compared with the first level, the sublimators of the second energy level are undergoing another qualitative change and sublimation - in addition to being able to control the source matter in their own bodies, they can also release their own source matter and easily affect the entire external world.
Although this influence is only limited to a small area around them...but this is a huge difference compared to the first energy level which can only control itself and some nature around them.
Just like Crocodile Dragon can absorb half the city's mud to create a shield for itself, and Ian may have to carry his own gravel, Master Gosei can manipulate the wind in the storm to his own use, making his power stronger.
However, the old man's physical strength and amount of essence cannot be compared with giant monsters like Crocodile Dragon. He still needs to conserve his physical strength to prepare for the next possible strong battle, and cannot spend all of it on blocking cannonballs.
