Chapter 195 One Hundred Thousand Years Sea Soul Beast
In the deep blue ocean, the battleship is like a knife, splitting the waves. The sails are driven by the hurricane. They inflate like balloons. The masts make a creaking sound. The masts made from the backbone of the ten thousand year plant type soul beast are all there.
It bends slightly under the huge wind force.
At the rear of the battleship, the diesel fuel in the tank was removed, driving the propeller to rotate at high speed, providing additional power for the battleship's navigation.
The Kuafu sailed against the waves, heading towards areas that had never been explored by humans.
Amidst the roar of the battleships, a large number of marine creatures fled. Almost all creatures have innate fear and vigilance towards huge existences. Whether they are spirit beasts or ordinary creatures, when facing larger individuals of the same kind,
, are often at a disadvantage.
The volume of a battleship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons has exceeded that of most marine life. This is because this is not the earth, and the size of spirit beasts can grow larger than ordinary creatures. Otherwise, this wooden sail battleship would be the largest in the ocean.
mobile individuals.
On the battleship, various departments work closely together to maintain the smooth sailing of the battleship. The clock and astrolabe carried in the battleship help them accurately measure their longitude and latitude. They only need to measure their location and the defined position.
Longitude can be measured for any time difference between the positions of 0 degrees longitude, while latitude can be obtained by simply measuring the height of Polaris.
Because the warship has kinetic energy other than sails, it encountered storms at sea several times and sailed out of the storm area without any danger. There are storage soul guides on the vast sea, and there is no shortage of supplies.
This greatly reduces the difficulty of ocean navigation.
But the journey was obviously not going to be smooth sailing. In order to take advantage of the power of the monsoon, Lan Nuo chose a relatively northerly route. The purpose was to reach the destination as quickly as possible and avoid conflicts with the sea soul beasts.
It was only during the voyage that he discovered that he not only caught the monsoon wind from south to north, but also relied on the power of an ocean current from south to north, and during the voyage, there happened to be an ocean current from north to south.
gathering on their routes.
Naturally, what flows from south to north is the warm current in the equatorial direction, and what flows from north to south is the cold current in the Arctic direction. Being unfamiliar with the sea conditions in this world, Llano was unable to avoid the intersection of the warm current and the cold current.
Anyone who has studied geography in junior high school knows that at the intersection of warm current and cold current, there are usually rich fishery resources, forming many famous fishing grounds. The same situation is true in Douluo.
The abundance of fishery resources also means that the organic matter content in this area is large and can support more large carnivores. In other words, this is actually a gathering place for soul beasts in the ocean.
Looking down from space, the oceans are all blue, and there seems to be no difference. Intuitively, people would think that the soul beasts in the ocean are evenly distributed.
But in fact, this is obviously impossible. In many open areas in the middle of the ocean, even microorganisms are extremely rare in the water, and they cannot support large carnivores at all, let alone support the survival of sea spirit beasts.
Therefore, in the ocean, there are also soul beast settlements similar to those on land. These settlements often exist at the intersection of warm and cold currents. Many marine species will migrate along the ocean currents and lay eggs and reproduce in these areas.
As a result, these areas will never lack food, forming an extremely complex ecosystem and supporting a large number of sea spirit beasts.
In the northwest of Douluo Continent, there is such a settlement of sea soul beasts.
When Lan Nuo approached this area, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He just couldn't help but sigh that the speed of sailing with the help of ocean currents and monsoon winds was too fast. If he kept advancing at this speed, he would not be able to survive for a long time.
Within days, you can reach the opposite continent.
However, not long after he had this idea, the ocean current that had been pushing him disappeared. After he realized that he had reached the intersection of the ocean currents, he suddenly thought of the geography knowledge he had learned. There are a lot of fishery resources here.
I am afraid that there will be a large number of sea soul beasts, so all members of the ship are immediately ordered to enter a state of combat readiness.
On the one hand, Lan Nuo realized the danger, and on the other hand, the Ice Emperor also gave him a bad premonition. There seemed to be some individuals here that were more powerful than the ten thousand year soul beast.
Encountering a hundred thousand year spirit beast at sea and encountering it on land are completely two different situations.
The Ice Emperor explained to Lan Nuo: "Usually, it's very difficult for a super spirit beast on land to take advantage of an ordinary hundred thousand year old spirit beast on the ocean."
"Ah? Is there such a big gap?" Lan Nuo scratched his head: "Don't hundred thousand year soul beasts basically know how to fly? If they don't fall into the sea, they should be in the mode of the Liusha River!"
The pattern of Liusha River is: Do you dare to come up? Do you dare to come down? This kind of thing.
However, the Ice Emperor shook his head: "That's not the case. The ocean is the home ground of the Sea Soul Beast, just like the far north ice field is my home field. The combat effectiveness I have shown in the far north is no different from that on the ordinary plains.
You should have a very intuitive feeling about the gap. If I control the Tianmeng battle body and fight in the far north, I can resist for a while even if I face Ditian in his heyday.
The advantages of sea soul beasts in the ocean are the same. They don't have the ice blast technique, but they have a similar ability to control the ocean, and their power is not necessarily less than the ice blast technique."
Lan Nuo recalled the Ice Emperor's combat effectiveness in the Far North, the kind of power that caused the mountains to explode. Even if they were modern troops fighting him in the Far North, they would probably suffer under this covering bombing.
,lost heavily.
If the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the ocean can show a similar increase, then fighting them in the ocean will be very stressful.
Lan Nuo thought for a moment and realized that the ocean was actually half of the Ice Emperor's home field. As long as the sea water was frozen here, he could use the Ice Explosion Technique to replicate the terrifying scene where even mountains could explode.
However, a large amount of seawater also restrains the Ice King, because water has the largest specific heat capacity among common substances. If you want to cool the water slightly or cool down, you have to expend a huge amount of energy.
Just when Lan Nuo was planning the strategy for the ocean encounter, a scorching current suddenly hit the side of the ship under the sea, causing the entire battleship to shake.
If the entire battleship wasn't made of the xylem of plant-type soul beasts, the blow just now would have been enough to cause the battleship to fall apart.
Lan Nuo immediately looked in the direction of the water jet, and happened to see a strange fiery red fish fall from the water and dive into the bottom.
The attack just now seemed to be launched by him jumping out of the water. Lan Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth: "What is this? King Magikarp? Will it evolve into Gyarados?"
Then he turned to look at Mr. Cat, who was throwing a fish bone into the sea. Being stared at by Lan Nuo with scorching eyes, he felt uncomfortable: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Aren't you a cat? Go get that fish!" Lan Nuo pointed at the big fish that jumped out of the water again, opened its mouth, and was about to spray.
Master Cat looked at Lan Nuo, skillfully grabbed him by the back of his neck, searched him, and threw him into the sea.
"Tsk! Why didn't I think of that back then? Throwing it into the sea is much more enjoyable than throwing it into the river!"
Lan Nuo came out of the water with a whole fish bone on his head, and was immediately sprayed by hot water all over his head and face. His whole body was stuck to the side of the ship in large letters, and there was a starfish stuck to his face, and the suction cup was tightly sucked on it.
face.
"Gan!" Lan Nuo pulled off the starfish and wanted to yell, but the big red fish had already come to him, opened its mouth and wanted to swallow him.
In the eyes of this strange red fish, Lan Nuo is extremely delicious. The soul power in his body is not too strong, but his body contains a huge amount of vitality and is extremely rich in nutrients, which gave him an illusion.
As long as he eats this guy in one bite, he can be promoted to a hundred thousand year soul beast and leap over the dragon gate.
However, the red monster fish obviously ignored the risks. How could the strength of an individual with such huge vitality be low? Although it was only level 50 soul power, Lan Nuo's combat effectiveness could no longer be judged by the level of soul power.
Not only is his tail, which has been strengthened many times and contains the gold of life, and has huge vitality, it is already comparable to many titled Douluo with beast spirits in terms of power.
boom!
Lan Nuo's tail was like a 10,000-ton hydraulic press in a factory. It hit the face of the red strange fish hard, smashing all the ferocious teeth in the strange fish's mouth. The impact hit the strange fish.
It hit the water hard, and the waves hit dozens of meters high.
Lan Nuo used the reaction force to jump back on the boat, pulled off the starfish on his face, and threw it in Master Cat's face: "Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat fish! It's time to work! A big guy is coming.
!”
While Lan Nuo slapped the big red fish into the sea, he also felt a powerful aura locking onto him. This strange fish was just a pawn sent by that guy to test the power of the battleship.
Now the owner on the opposite side seems to have concluded that although there are more troublesome entities on the battleship, they are not enough to pose a threat to him. However, there are extremely huge vitality on this battleship, which is considered extremely dangerous to him.
A big prey, this kind of prey is impossible to let go.
As soon as Lan Nuo finished speaking, the water on the side of the battleship seemed to be boiling. A large number of red strange fish rushed out and sprayed water jets at the battleship.
Although these water plants alone are not enough to damage the structure of the Kuafu, if it is hit continuously, it is very likely to be destroyed. More importantly, the frequent attacks force the sailors to evacuate from the deck to the cabin. It is contained to a considerable extent.
Kuafu's counterattack firepower.
Behind these strange red fish, an even larger cyan dragon, with a body almost as thick as a train, emerged from the water. It looked very similar to the azure bull python.
Lan Nuo: "..."
There really is a Gyarados!
This giant blue dragon had a good plan. He had already observed the Kuafu before the sneak attack. He noticed that the structure of the ship was very hard. Even if he wanted to destroy it, he would have to waste a lot of effort, especially the ship.
The ferocious horn on his head looks sharper than his dragon horns and is definitely not easy to deal with.
In fact, being hit by that thing would really hurt you, because that thing was a single horn of azure bull python.
The hunting instinct brought about by thousands of years of evolution in nature told him that the sides of prey are often vulnerable, which is true for most creatures in nature, so he chose to attack from the side, and was very proud of it.
However, he obviously did not realize how despicable humans designed their own battleships. The reason why battleships got such a name is because their firing point is on the side of the battleship, where there is enough area to line up a large number of artillery.
In order to maximize their vitality when attacking the enemy, the warships need to line up in a row, just like lining up to shoot. Point the side of the fleet at the enemy. If there are two pairs of warships fighting, then the two pairs of warships will line up in a row.
What the fleet has to do is to grab the T and compete for the position of the T-shaped post, so that the enemy's firepower cannot be aimed at itself, and it can use all its firepower to concentrate on one of the enemy's warships and destroy them one by one.
It is precisely because they need to line up in a row during combat that these huge sailing battleships are named battleships. In other words, the side of the Kuafu is not only not its weak point, but the area with the strongest firepower.
The original intention of the cyan dragon was to let his younger brother go to Zhudu and pay a certain price of casualties to eliminate the opponent's warships and make them lose the platform to fight on the water.
When these weak land monkeys fall into the sea, they can be manipulated by you.
He just chose the wrong direction to attack, which resulted in his monster fish men suffering extremely fierce firepower. A large number of artillery on the side responded with even more fierce firepower at the monster fish that sprayed water jets.
On the side of the battleship, there are not only artillery, but also a large number of machine gun fire points. The red monster is only the size of a shark. It is not easy to hit it with artillery, but the machine gun can easily adjust its trajectory under the guidance of tracer bullets.
Target these guys running around in the water.
These strange fish must jump out of the water every time they attack, which means that when they attack, they are also the most vulnerable to being killed.
The machine gun bullets tore apart their flesh and blood. After encountering several attacks from sea soul beasts, the soldiers on the battleship were able to operate firearms more skillfully and calmly faced the charges of thousand-year soul beasts and even ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Already.
Blood dyed the sea surface red. The strange fish were not a thoughtful modern army. After suffering nearly 30% casualties, they lost the courage to continue charging. They collapsed and dived towards the bottom of the water. In order to avoid the machine gun fire, they never stopped.
Willing to show his head.
The giant green dragon in the distance roared angrily when he saw this meat grinder-like scene. Although he had intelligence close to that of a human, his intelligence was limited due to living alone with a group of wild animals with low IQs all year round.
Not developed.
While being angry, I misjudged the current situation and thought that I had the advantage. Then I roared, stayed close to the water, and charged towards the battleship.
