The Dawn Regiment headed westward and crossed the territory of the three-headed dragon bird.
During this period, they also encountered attacks from several groups of three-headed birds, but after everyone in the Dawn Group hunted and killed probably a thousand of them, those strange birds realized that these humans in front of them were not weak food, and there were far fewer of them coming to die.
.
The rest of the journey was much smoother.
The sea breeze is blowing and the sun is warm.
There was a faint smell of blood floating on the deck after the battle. At Dawn, everyone was busy dealing with the traces and smells left by the previous battle and preparing for the next battle.
At this moment, Su Lun sat on the mast and looked into the distance.
Different from the past, he was still wearing a monocle in the orbit of his right eye.
This is a cursed item that he rarely uses now - [Robert's monocle].
These glasses were originally used to cast real illusions and cause mental damage to the enemy.
But the level is not too high, so it is of little use in the battles of high-level professionals, so Su Lun rarely used it before.
But now he has developed another use for his glasses, which is to create illusions and then release them like projections to confuse the enemy.
His current mental strength can completely ignore the cursed properties of this monocle and can construct an almost perfect fantasy projection.
And right now, he was looking at the place one nautical mile in front of the Evernight, where a huge black-sailed warship was sailing leisurely.
This is the phantom projection of the Evernight.
Although it is an illusion, the details of the ship, the busy people on the deck, and even the waves left by the ship on the sea are all very real.
Without special perception methods, you will definitely be misled.
The body of the Evernight where Su Lun is located has activated the alchemy array of the stealth coating. The light-absorbing coating absorbs sunlight and makes it invisible.
It is unlikely that this method would be hidden from the perception of high-level magicians.
But because the distance is very subtle, it is a very good insurance.
Now that Su Lun's mental power has skyrocketed, his soul perception can cover several kilometers nearby. This perception distance cannot be reached by even the vast majority of eighth-level great magisters.
So if the enemy wants to ambush and gets too close, Suellen will find out in advance.
But if they look too far away, they will be misled by the illusion.
Su Lun was familiar with almost all the tactics of the magic army on the plane of gods, and he felt that his illusion might have miraculous effects.
………
The sky-high hell volcano is still at the end of the field of vision, and this is already the core area of the Dragon Kingdom ruins.
The surrounding sea is no longer endless blue, but more and more islands have appeared. On the chart, the Dawn Group has entered a highly dangerous area.
In the communicator, Tani was reporting the situation of their current route: "Everyone, be careful, we are about to enter the Parrot Islands ahead. There may be an overlord-level sea monster [Titanson Butterfly] marked on the chart. Be careful of foreign objects in the water.
near…"
"okay!"
The members heard about it and made some targeted preparations one after another.
Fighting is a daily routine for everyone.
On the mast, Su Lun was looking into the distance, maintaining the illusion ahead.
The Dawn Regiment now has a mature command and operation system, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
But the further he sailed, the more he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
Su Lun did not think this was an illusion.
After understanding the Law of Death to his current level, he will be very sensitive to certain causal connections that can lead to death.
His prediction of death far exceeds that of most professional prophets in the perception system.
But the current situation is that this sea area is full of unknown risks. As long as you continue to sail, there will be dangers.
So he wasn't sure where that sense of crisis came from.
This situation is like walking on thin ice. You can't predict which step will lead to falling into the ice cave. You can only pay full attention to it.
The crow on his shoulder remained quiet, which was a guarantee that made Su Lun feel at ease.
Because they have planned the route in advance, they are now marking the three-star (★★★) danger level on the chart.
Sailing on the Parrot Islands.
Even if you encounter a monster attack, the danger level on the chart will be followed.
It is estimated to be below level nine.
Not too fatal.
However, without warning, a bright light like a meteor fell from the sky.
In a thousandth of an instant, the light bullet penetrated the illusion of the Evernight ahead and exploded into a huge wave hundreds of meters high on the sea.
The light bomb also twisted and heated the space, burning a huge hole in the sea, and filled the sky with white mist.
The attack came too suddenly.
Su Lun recognized the origin of this magic at a glance, and shouted in his heart, "Demigod-level forbidden spell, [Light of Divine Punishment]!"
That beam of light turned out to be a sub-god-level magic?
Su Lun himself may be able to teleport away from this forbidden spell that comes at almost the speed of light, but the Eternal Night will definitely suffer a devastating blow.
Seeing the huge waves caused by the magic in front of him, he was very happy: "It's so dangerous!"
The more powerful the magic, the more chanting is required to prepare, and the longer it takes for the magic to gather, and the process is quite noisy. In order not to be discovered, the enemy must release it from a very long distance.
Su Lun was also lucky to have created an illusion, otherwise the blow just now directed at the Evernight would have had disastrous consequences. Seeing that the illusion of the ship in front was pierced by the blow, the busy crew members on the Evernight also looked at each other.
Qi froze, and the movement of his hands stopped. The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard in the air.
A death crisis that makes one's scalp explode suddenly hit his heart belatedly.
Even the high-ranking warriors from Qianjou Yiyi's expressions changed drastically when they saw it.
Because no one of them was absolutely sure that they could avoid the blow just now.
However, it's not over yet!
Before anyone could react, two more beams of light bombs hit the same location.
They released the Forbidden Magic three times regardless of the cost. It seemed that those guys from the God Plane wanted to completely eliminate the Dawn Group at once.
But it's to be expected.
The shock wave caused by the forbidden spell set off huge waves on the sea, and the Evernight's stealth coating also showed a vague outline in the shock wave.
No one in the Dawn Group dared to feel lucky.
Because they knew that after the enemy found out that they had not sunk them, they would definitely have a back-up plan!
In a very short period of time, the staff of the Dawn Regiment calculated the exact location of the magic release, and the various battle channels immediately became noisy.
"The enemy is at eleven o'clock, eight nautical miles away!"
"The gun on the left side of the ship is calibrated and fires a covering salvo! The No. 3 main gun [T1 shock bomb] is loaded and fired! The close-in defense gun [magic interference bomb] fires continuously!"
"Change the course and increase the distance..."
"..."
The Evernight reacted immediately. The battleship moved away from the enemy in the direction of the magic release, and its cannons also spit out tongues of fire.
In an instant, the sound of shells was deafening, and shells were flying all over the sky.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was a continuous sound of artillery fire.
Artillery has a longer range and higher firing efficiency than magic. It is also a powerful weapon against the magician army.
Keeping distance is the best response to combat.
After just a few rounds of artillery fire, a large-scale explosive mushroom cloud appeared in the northwest coordinate sea area in an instant.
However, those magicians on the plane of gods were obviously beyond their reach, and no magic fluctuations occurred again.
Su Lun looked at the fire in the distance, his eyes narrowed, and his heart was not optimistic.
The enemy does not have a better ship than the Evernight, so it is unlikely that a large force will catch up.
If a few people really come after them, the Dawn Group will not be afraid.
The enemy obviously knows this too.
However, since they took action, they must have some other assurances.
This demi-god-level forbidden spell is very powerful, but it is definitely not everything!
as expected.
At this time, Tani issued a warning through the communicator: "Everyone, be careful. The fish in the sea said that there are many monsters appearing in the northwest!"
Even as he finished speaking, dense soul fluctuations appeared in Su Lun's perception.
He had previously speculated that those in the plane of gods would control monsters and sea monsters to attack, but it was not unexpected.
But sensing the density of the monsters, he had a slight expression on his face, "Why are there so many?"
There is a vast expanse of white water vapor in the distance, and it is impossible to see clearly what is on the sea with the naked eye.
But Su Lun clearly sensed the dense fluctuations of souls, which were as dense as a honeycomb, with countless souls right next to each other.
However, what surprised Su Lun was that most of these soul fluctuations were very weak, probably at the level of second- and third-level monsters.
"What kind of monster is it?"
Su Lun was very puzzled.
However, the speed of those monsters was even faster than that of the Evernight. As they got closer, he also discovered that there were some powerful beings of the seventh or eighth level mixed among them.
Not long after, the monster rushed out of the mist. Su Lun took a closer look and realized that it was a dense group of snakes.
Countless venomous snakes surged over the sea like a tidal wave, overlapping, rolling, and squirming... The black mass was so dense that it made one's hair stand on end.
But those soul waves that Su Lun sensed were powerful existences were actually snake-haired succubi!
In myths and legends, Gorgons can control venomous snakes, and their hair itself can turn into billions of venomous snakes...
And this kind of scene where hundreds of millions of snakes are out in force is also called "Snake Sea Natural Disaster"!
Like locusts passing through, all living things are wiped out wherever they pass.
This is the legendary terrifying combat power that can kill gods.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Su Lun had witnessed another legendary disaster.
Everyone in the Dawn Group was also shocked.
"Why the hell are there so many snakes? It makes my skin crawl."
"Hey...Am I dazzled? There seems to be a 'woman' among the snakes?"
"..."
Su Lun heard that everyone hadn't realized what it was, and wanted to warn him, but Kaitou Kit suddenly spoke up and shouted strangely through the communicator, "That's the Gorgon! Be careful, don't look at those snakes."
Banshee eyes!"
This guy has suffered from petrified light before, so he doesn't know how powerful this monster is.
Tani's mother Friedel also issued a stern warning immediately, shouting with a slightly frightened tone, "Everyone, be careful, be sure to keep your distance. Even if the top-level Gorgon doesn't look directly into its eyes,
All will be affected by the petrifying light. To be able to control such a huge group of snakes, there must be an eighth-level Gorgon among them!"
As the only person in the Dawn Group who has been petrified, how could she not know the danger?
It was the "Snake Sea Natural Disaster" that destroyed the entire Naga tribe and dozens of intelligent tribes near Rainbow Island.
This snake disaster was like a plague, leaving an indelible memory of terror for her.
………
Eighth level?
Even Su Lun frowned when he heard this.
The eighth-level Gorgon can almost be said to be the top creature on this plane.
But seeing the Gorgon, Su Lun was a little confused.
He knew that people from the plane of gods cooperated with Gorgons, but before that, on the outskirts of Eklensa, the capital of the Silver Dragon King, a suspected eighth-level Gorgon was killed by Helen who had completed the trial and turned into Medusa.
Did it fall?
What's going on here now?
What is the situation with Queen Helen of Medusa and the Gorgon tribe?
The island marked with the Gorgon on the chart was just a day's sail away. Because they were unsure of the risk, Su Lun and the others deliberately avoided that direction, but they still encountered it.
However, there is no point in thinking about this right now.
Su Lun also closed his eyes, using Uncle Crow's shared vision to watch the dark tide of snakes chasing towards the Evernight.
In the communicator, Dora, the leader of the mechanical regiment, also intensively issued bombardment instructions according to the coordinates pointed out by Su Lunzhi: "The first and second-tier artillery continue to suppress fire, and the third-tier artillery is loaded with [Alchemy Scattered Bombs] to cover the scattering!
Fifteen degrees east by north, main gun No. 4 on deck, fire!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Yongye's firepower was fully activated, and all kinds of alchemical bullets were poured out as if they were free of charge.
This kind of snake tide can also be regarded as a kind of legion war.
The greater the number, the less room there is to dodge.
You don't even need to deliberately aim. When the cannonball falls, it will inevitably explode into bloody snake segments in the black tide of snakes on the sea.
Hundreds of artillery can kill hundreds of thousands of low-level poisonous snakes every second.
However, the expression on Su Lun's face was not relaxed at all.
Through Black Crow's vision, he saw that even with the dense firepower of the Dawn Regiment, the number of snakes chasing after them not only did not decrease at all, but became more and more.
Moreover, the low-level poisonous snakes are fine. Just in terms of quantity, even if they catch up, it won't be a big problem.
The troublesome thing is the Gorgon hidden among the snakes.
Even though Su Lun reported the accurate coordinates, the cannonball hit accurately.
However, the main cannon's alchemical shells, which could severely damage the eighth level, were all petrified in the gray light surrounding the bodies of those Gorgons!
"The Gorgon's divine talent [Petrified Curse] is really unsolvable..."
Su Lun frowned when he saw this.
This was what worried him. There was only one antidote to the petrification curse before and it was still used. If it could not solve the petrification problem, it was absolutely impossible to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Gorgon.
And the tricky thing is that even now he doesn't understand the principle of this magical level "Petrification Curse".
If you don't understand it, you can't find a way to crack it.
The Yongye can only fight and evacuate all the way.
As he continued to fight, Tani once again issued a warning: "There are also a lot of monsters appearing in the southwest of us!"
Su Lun looked again and saw that an endless wave of snakes also appeared in the other direction of their retreat. It looked like a premeditated interception.
The Dawn Regiment did not dare to confront them head-on, so they had no choice but to change their course and avoid being surrounded.
However, this choice to change course made Su Lun keenly aware that something was wrong, and he thought in his mind: "It seems that these Gorgons are driving us in a specific direction?"
This is a very common method whether it is legion tactics or hunting monsters in nature.
There are many ambushes left to drive the prey in a specific direction.
Su Lun didn't think this was a coincidence.
He immediately used the communicator to notify: "Tani, sensing team, please pay special attention to sensing to see if there is any danger ahead of our route."
The response immediately came from the communicator: "Yes!"
After a while, a response came from the communication: "Mr. Su Lun, nothing unusual was found."
Even Tani and his mother's perception methods didn't detect anything.
However, this lack of situation made Su Lun feel even more cautious.
But those Gorgons seemed to have no fear, because if they didn't follow their route to escape, they would have to face the tide of snakes head-on.
In this situation, it can be said that even the ninth level will have to die here.
Even the Dawn Regiment currently only has one way to escape via teleportation.
However, [Ouroboros Time and Space Circle] was an escape card, and Su Lun did not intend to expose the related abilities too much unless it was absolutely necessary.
But from the current situation, it seems that there is probably some fatal danger waiting for them ahead.
For a moment, Su Lun was a little hard to make a decision. "Is there something more dangerous than the Snake Sea Natural Disaster ahead?"
He was also a little confused.
Just these Gorgons and snakes are already dominant in this sea area.
What could be more powerful than them?
However, not long after I put down the communicator, suddenly, a strong soul wave appeared in my soul perception.
It seemed that some secret space method was used to teleport to a distance of a hundred meters behind the Evernight.
"Seventh-level Gorgon!"
Su Lun had a stern expression.
Can Gorgons teleport?
It is most likely the method of those magicians in the plane of gods.
In the sight shared by the black crows, the gorgon moved over in an instant, and its head full of snake hair suddenly released a wide range of petrifying light towards the Evernight.
Although this distance is not enough for the Gorgon to petrify anyone who does not look directly into its eyes, the light is
The moment it was illuminated, the entire Eternal Night seemed to have been cast on "Slow Light" and immediately slowed down.
However, the reaction of everyone in the Dawn Group was not slow either.
At the moment when the Gorgon released the petrifying light, a frost flower sword energy suddenly slashed out. There was a "swish" sound and blood splashed everywhere.
The head covered with ferocious snake hair was thrown into the sky. A seventh-level gorgon had already expired.
But these Gorgons are afraid that they know nothing about human society, and naturally they don't know that anyone in the Dawn Group can kill them with a sword. If they get so close, they will naturally die.
But when Su Lun saw this, he was 100% sure that the purpose of these Gorgons was to drive them to the southeast, to the unknown sea area marked as "Mist Pattern" on the sea map.
………
"We can't continue sailing..."
At this moment, Su Lun had made a decision in his heart.
His intuition told him that even if his trump card was exposed, he could never continue sailing along with the enemy's plan.
Otherwise, if we procrastinate any longer, we may encounter a more fatal blow than the previous [Light of Divine Punishment].
However, just when he was about to ask the crew to activate the space alchemy array on the ship, and then put the Yongye into the small void world to escape, suddenly, a strange voice came from the sea of consciousness: "There is a sleeping sea in the sea to the southeast of you."
Demon Sethus, it will be awakened by the breath of humans... If you go there, you will definitely die."
Spiritual communication!
When Su Lun heard this, he immediately discovered the person who sent the message based on the direction of the spiritual transmission.
Holding the black umbrella in his hand, and sensing it again, he immediately identified the soul fire. It turned out to be "Helen", the Queen of Medusa whom he had had some interactions with before?!
Why is she here?
Why are you reminding me?
Su Lun suddenly had countless questions in his mind.
But no matter what the other party's motives were, what Helen said was exactly what he had guessed.
