Chapter 52 The Sea Soul Beast on the Tip of the Tongue [Part 1]
Zhang Dou and his artillery crew had no time to get excited, so they started loading new shells. The big octopus swam quickly, and the World's End also rode the wind and waves. The relative positions of the two changed all the time. While his companions were loading, Zhang Dou quickly calculated.
The angle of a shot.
He quickly adjusted the winch with both hands and aligned it with the calculated scale. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, as if he had practiced it hundreds of times. For some reason, after firing the first shot, the sweat on his palms actually disappeared.
It seems that the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast is just like that. Even if he is hit by a cannonball, his flesh and blood will be splattered, and a salvo of heavy artillery can kill him. It seems that there is nothing special about it.
The moment he decided to become a soldier, the moment he took up arms and determined to resist, he was no longer humble!
The moment he realized his own power, the once aloof soul master was no longer invincible.
Everyone in the four gun groups at the bow of the ship has a similar mood to Zhang Dou. Maybe they are still far away from creating their own military soul, but at least they have taken the first step.
The second round of salvos was launched in an orderly manner. Seeing his own strength made the gunner calmer and more steady in his aim. Three of the four shells actually hit. Although they did not hit the vital point like the eye again, they still hit the big octopus with blood splattering.
.
Suffering another tragic blow, the big octopus was extremely furious. If he chose to dive into the water at this time, the World's End really had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, he gave up the last chance to escape. I saw that he actually headed towards the World's End on his own.
Side string swam away quickly.
When he thought about it, the opponent's most threatening thing was the four cannons on the bow. The sharp attacks were unbearable for him, but the cannons were on the front, so they couldn't attack from the sides as well!
So he quickly swam toward the side. Sure enough, of the four cannons fixed on the bow, only the two near the side of the ship completed the turn. Due to the hasty adjustment, both of the cannons failed, which made him extremely proud.
I feel my superiority in terms of IQ.
It can dominate this sea area because of its more developed brain than other fish, but Cheng Ying looked at him on the boat with an expression that looked like he was mentally retarded.
He was still trying to think of a way to make the big octopus aim at the side string, but he didn't expect that this stupid octopus would swim over on its own. This life-threatening operation was really impressive and made his scalp numb.
Of course, Cheng Ying would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately ordered loudly: "Right string gunner, aim at the target!"
"fire!"
Before the big octopus swam very far, it suddenly noticed the right string of the End of the World, with forty black gun muzzles protruding from the portholes, and immediately had a bad feeling.
The next moment, his premonition came true. With a loud bang, the huge World's End trembled, and all forty eighteen-pound cannonballs were fired.
Although it is a mass-produced front-loading rifled gun and fires spherical shells, the power of the eighteen-pound heavy projectile is still considerable.
The big octopus was simply delivered to the door by itself. The position couldn't be more suitable for sideline volleys. The too comfortable shooting position made it difficult for forty cannons to shoot out of the way. Only two shells were deflected and fell into the sea, grazing the big octopus.
Everything else fell on him.
In an instant, the big octopus was smashed into pieces. The huge kinetic energy drove its body out of the sea. In mid-air, its arms and legs that had lost control of the brain were still twitching and twisting unconsciously, as if they wanted to.
Cover your vitals.
It's a pity that his proud brain was turned into paste by a few cannonballs, and his arms and legs could only twitch unconsciously, and finally died unwillingly.
It can be said that it died unjustly. If it dived underwater, used its ability to control water, entangled with the World's End, and used its arms and legs to attack the huge exposed paddle wheel, the World's End would at best be able to escape due to its size.
But it just acted like a fool and launched a desperate charge in the face of the artillery fire. If it didn't die, who would die? All thirty-eight cannonballs were eaten solidly. Even the titled Douluo had to vomit a few mouthfuls of blood. It couldn't even kill one of them.
A soul beast that is one hundred thousand years old and can leave behind a relatively complete body is considered to be extremely talented.
Shao Shang, who had just sat on the ground and finished shouting, felt like an idiot at this moment. He lay on the side of the boat and looked at the dead body of the big octopus that attracted several sharks to look at him. He was so shocked that he could not calm down.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart. Fortunately, his flagship had not faced the side string of the World's End before, otherwise he might have been taken away by the wave without even having a chance to jump off the ship.
Thinking of this, Shao Shang immediately ran over and knelt down: "Sir! What kind of martial spirit is this that you call a cannon? It has such terrifying power!"
When he thought about it, artillery must be a very powerful weapon. The man next to him must be the patriarch or young master of the artillery clan. Those on the ship must be his clan members.
The potential of such a powerful martial spirit is not inferior to that of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. If it is not hidden from the world, it may be another powerful martial spirit. When it spreads, it may not be weaker than these two major sects.
If you don't hug your thighs, how can you wait?
Cheng Ying kicked the licking dog away from his thigh: "Idiot, artillery is not a martial spirit, it is a weapon. Which one of your eyes saw that they have spirit rings on them!
Go ahead, don't take me for granted...ahem, study the marine ecological environment of Planet Douluo!" As he said that, he personally jumped into the lifeboat, rowed with a few excited sailors to the carcass of the big octopus, and tied the cable
On the arms and legs of the octopus.
The winch connected to the cable rotates slowly under the strong power of the steam engine. Due to the explosion of materials science on Chengying's side, the first-generation steam engine was completely different from the problem of insufficient power faced in history.
Chengying's steam engine is very airtight and has terrifying power. However, in order to ensure the airtightness, Chengying had to add a lot of magical parts. More magical parts require more power...
Under the vicious cycle, this behemoth was born that only the World's End could possibly accommodate... But being big also has big benefits, at least they don't have to prepare ballast.
When the huge octopus was easily pulled onto the deck and almost filled the entire deck, facing their first real trophy, all the sailors and gunners cheered around the big octopus.
Cheng Ying took out an oversized steel plate from the warehouse and threw it on the ground. He also threw two cast-iron biogas tanks from the storage equipment and shouted to the cheering crew: "The whole ship will have better food today!"
As he spoke, he set up the iron plate and lit the simple biogas stove to heat the iron plate. The sound of vegetable oil boiling on the iron plate was as sweet as the prelude to a gourmet symphony.
