"The Vampire? But...even if he is a Vampire, he can't resist that Sequence 4 master with a Sequence 6 extraordinary level! How on earth did he do it?"
If it was an accident, it had already been two moves, and the two of them still hadn't decided the winner.
Bloom looked at Raymond again and became very shocked.
When did such a young swordsman with such exaggerated strength appear in the Black Sea?
Now it seems that Gulev's "reckless" shot to kill Olga just now was not only not brainless, but seemed to have been premeditated by the two of them. The swordsman responded so quickly and calmly, as if he had already known about the reef hut above.
Is there a Sequence 4 adult here?
Since these guys are so powerful, why would they let others escort them into the foggy area?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
Could it be that...these two guys simply planned to kill that adult, so they chose to do it here?
No, these guys obviously don't know the adults of Endless Sea. If it's just to kill an Olga, it's not worth taking such a risk...
...
The battle between Raymond and the Viking hunter Rupat became more and more intense. The movement of the Sequence 4 Transcendents was extremely loud. However, after a few collisions, they left the originally not so spacious reef area in a mess.
Many pirates who had not rushed to escape were affected by the aftermath of the fight between the two and died on the spot.
The battle between the two became more and more intense, and the contact became more and more frequent. The area was in turmoil with each move, the rocks were broken, the sea water was churning, and the sword energy filled the sky.
Gua~ Gua~
The dull croaking of frogs echoed in this black reef area.
Rupat had completely transformed into a beast, lying on the rocks and transformed into a calf-sized [Black-clawed Sawtooth Frog]. At this moment, there was a shallow blood mark on his back scratched by a sharp sword.
There is also healing visible to the naked eye.
He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Jidao Yidao style? Oh...it's really scheming. The calculated and false move just now turned out to be based on this attention."
The experienced bounty hunter in front of him has obviously guessed Raymond's plan. He has the defense method of "Qi Condensation", which makes him almost invincible against low-level extraordinary beings. Low-level swordsmen want to
The only chance to hurt him is to attack the parts of yourself where you have no time to condense the crystallized armor.
Just like before!
The young swordsman teleported twice and drew his sword cunningly. If he hadn't noticed it in time, he would have suffered a big loss with the sword in the back.
The sword wound on his back still hurt slightly, which seemed to anger Rupat even more.
When he looked at Raymond again, his eyes became very cold, and he sneered: "Tsk, tsk...boy, I want to see how many times you can dodge with your physical skills!"
He didn't know that although the blood clan's movement technique could teleport, the more frequently it was used, the more infuriating energy was consumed. A Sequence 6 transcendent, no matter how terrifying the infuriating energy was, would never have a chance of winning. Because the physical body
As a Devil Fruit user, he has extremely strong recovery ability and has almost endless energy to cope with such a level of battle.
In Rupat's opinion, when the swordsman in front of him runs out of energy, it will be his death!
...
"It's still too much... I couldn't hit the target just now. It's going to be too difficult to catch this guy's weakness."
On the other hand, Raymond's eyes were full of solemnity. In his demonic state, he gradually began to breathe heavily, obviously not relaxed.
As long as he couldn't break through the black crystal armor, he would have no chance of killing this big toad.
At this moment, his nerves were stretched to the extreme. He was fighting over two large steps. If he was careless, he would be in danger of being seriously injured.
Just when he was concentrating on vigilance, suddenly, the big toad in his field of vision moved again!
Raymond's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted from a distance: "Uncle Gulev, be careful!"
As soon as the words came out, the figure of the giant frog also ejected, obviously it was too late!
Rupat's many collisions were avoided by Raymond's teleportation technique. He knew that he would be unable to do anything to Raymond for a while, so he changed his strategy and ran directly into Gulev who was preparing for a sneak attack.
Bang!
Gulev did not have Raymond's teleportation skills. Even though he was aware of the danger and tried his best to avoid it, he still missed the collision. At that moment, he felt as if he was hit by a force that could break bones.
With a whip, his tall body was launched into the air like a spinning top. If it weren't for the heavy gold armor he was wearing, half of his life would have been lost in the collision just now.
"Pfft~"
There was a muffled groan and blood spurted out.
After all, Gulev was considered to be at the peak of Sequence 5. Even if he couldn't resist this toad, he still had the strength to fight. After observing it for so long, he didn't know that although the toad's impact was powerful, it couldn't change its trajectory while it was stuck in the air.
Since he wasn't killed, this was a good opportunity for him to get close.
The moment he was knocked away, Gulev endured the sting of the broken bone in his left arm and used the "Dragon Capture Hand" to grab the toad that passed by. The best thing a fighter is good at is close combat.
As long as he can stay close to the enemy, he will be sure to create an opportunity for Raymond to attack!
But...
It was this move that he was sure to win, but he failed!
The grip was like catching on a slippery loach. The toad's legs were completely powerless and it was impossible to catch it at all.
Raymond on the side knew very well that in the beastly state, the Black Claw Sawtooth Frog user would secrete a large amount of mucus all over his body. This mucus makes him immune to most physical control skills. It is almost impossible for a fighter to fight in close combat.
"hehe..."
Rupat had obviously noticed Gulev's little movements. Before the sarcastic thoughts in his heart could be revealed, he suddenly felt his body stagnating in the air and his blood flowing backwards, as if an invisible claw suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him.
Pull back hard.
His face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and glanced lightly, but he saw a little girl on the boat not far away with a black whirlpool in her palm, and she was grabbing at her five fingers, as if she was trying to catch him back from the air!
"No, there are still experts on board!"
Rupat was startled, but at the moment when the body was stuck in the air, he watched as the light above his head dimmed and the swordsman teleported over again.
The violent turbulence of Qi caused the sea water to beat against the rocks, setting off layers of white waves, and water droplets all over the sky dripped densely from the sky like rain.
One drop, two drops, ten drops, connected with a sword to form a line...
Rupat looked at the red sword in his field of vision, piercing through the water droplets and piercing straight towards it.
"Oops!"
Rupat turned his head sharply, and the red sword tip had pierced his eyes. The violent flaming sword energy rushed in, and a sharp pain hit his skull.
"Pfft~"
At this critical moment, he reacted very quickly. He puffed up his cheeks and fired a jet of water straight ahead. Following the momentum, his body retreated several feet, and he barely escaped the danger of the sword piercing his skull.
.
Raymond was hit by the water column, and his chest seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer. The rich sword energy condensed on the tip of the red sword could not be controlled, and it exploded!
"Bang!"
At that moment, the sword energy in the sky exploded, causing two figures, one man and one frog, to fly backwards.
At this time,
"escape!"
Only then did Rupat realize that the little girl who had been lying on the bow of the boat watching the excitement was the real master! No wonder the people on the boat were not much frightened from the beginning to the end... It turned out that except for this evil young swordsman, everyone on the boat
There are other masters who are hiding deep.
He took advantage of the force of the explosion and flew upside down into the sea. Without any hesitation, he dived into the deep sea and escaped far away without looking back.
...
Raymond and the two had nothing to do with the big toad, and Ilya took action as planned.
The little girl jumped off the boat, lay down on the rocks, looked into the water, and muttered: "Oh, what a pity... That toad fell into the water for so long and didn't come out, it seems like it ran away...
"
"Forget it, just run away."
Raymond wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, retracted his fangs, slowly returned to his human form, and exited the demonic state. From what he could sense, the toad had indeed dived into the depths of the ocean floor and escaped into the distance.
"That guy can escape very quickly in the water, and he can't catch up..."
He just watched the black toad jump into the water, and naturally guessed that he was going to escape, but there was nothing he could do about it. This kind of toad ability user is the home in the sea. He really wanted to escape, and it was difficult to retain him by ordinary means.
Two against one, they almost beat each other to the point where they were almost wiped out.
Raymond was very irritable at the moment. He smacked his lips and muttered. Sure enough, it was still a bit reluctant to kill the Sequence 4 Transcendents... If he wasn't a melee professional, I'm afraid it would be a lot more trouble.
He looked at Ilya and raised his brows slightly. The ability that this girl showed just now to capture people from the air was really eye-catching.
It was indeed a good idea to bring this girl to "Nightmare Ghostly".
He smiled and said: "Thank you, little girl, you have been of great help again."
"snort!"
Ilya's nose opened slightly, obviously not satisfied, "Next time you call me little girl, be careful that I won't help you!"
Raymond smiled and said, "I know, Miss Elijah!"
...
The big Sequence 4 toad escaped, and it was very easy for everyone to deal with the other pirates here.
After collecting some scraps, we set sail.
Anna carefully compared the route map explored by the group of seamen and determined that there were no deviations. Everyone decided to continue sneaking into the depths of the "Nightmare Ghost".
Going further into the foggy area, there is a reef area with surging undercurrents. After hitting the rocks, it is easy to attract sea monsters lurking in the sea. This was a ghostly "mass grave" in the game... After passing this undercurrent area,
There are also chaotic wind belts, and then there are absolute fog belts that cannot see any light, sea kings that live in the reef disguised as rocks, seaweed that will actively wrap around the oars, miasma areas...
Every area in this "nightmare ghost" contains hidden murderous intentions, like a carefully arranged serial killing scheme, which are interlocking and will destroy every ship that rushes in...
The role of a senior navigator on board a ship is fully demonstrated in such complex waters.
"Bearing 90, speed 11...passing the reef area, speed 19, full right rudder to fight the turbulence..."
"Yes... don't go near that backwater area, there is a dormant Neptune species there..."
"Don't worry about the fog, follow my command and rush out at full speed..."
"People of Sequence 6 and above should get on the deck. This fog is the sea area where 'cannonball flying fish' gather. Be careful that the fish will crash our ship. We must defend with all our strength..."
"..."
finally,
Under Anna's command, the "Golden Predator" passed through this dangerous sea area without any danger, and sailed into the mysterious sea area that no ship has safely entered for countless years.
This dangerous sea area that has frightened the human era of the Black Sea has finally been slowly unveiled...
Anna has been preparing for more than ten years to break into the ghost world. For this purpose, she has mastered countless navigation methods to face the harsh waters. What's more, now with the safe route given by Raymond, although there are many dangers along the way, she has successfully brought everyone along.
We have arrived at the core area of nightmares and ghosts.
"Everyone, be careful, I'm about to enter the core area..."
Although Anna had described to everyone the place where her ancestors had discovered the ruins before arriving, Raymond's eyelids jumped when he saw the terrifying "death zone" composed of countless huge sea whirlpools.
Although he had seen this strange sea area in the game, it was one thing to actually visit it in person. Under the pressure of the absolute power of nature, extraordinary beings of any level seemed insignificant.
The endless and terrifying sea whirlpool that can be seen before one's eyes will definitely make high-level extraordinary people die in the belly of the sea...
"Anna, are you really sure you can get through this whirlpool?"
Raymond swallowed his saliva. This whirlpool area has always been a restricted area in the game. Even if it is on the edge, once it is sucked in by the sea whirlpool, you will definitely die. This is a "sinkhole" that countless death-defying players have risked their lives to explore.
..
"My dear captain, are you questioning your beautiful navigator?"
Anna rolled her eyes at him and then said: "The most detailed clue left by my ancestor in 'Crown of Silence' is this sea swirl area... As long as we find the law of sea swirls, we can pass through this sea area and reach the ruins
..."
Raymond looked at it, and saw that there were thousands of tops of different sizes spinning constantly on the sea surface. He couldn't tell the difference at all, "What's the pattern of this whirlpool?"
"The real adventure is about to begin..."
Anna smiled charmingly, with a hint of fanaticism in her crystal eyes, "Just leave the sailing matters to me. My dear captain, just get ready to enjoy the thrilling charm of sailing adventures!"
"Well..."
Raymond felt a little guilty when he saw it, and involuntarily grasped the iron railing beside him. Because of this look, he had seen it from Lulu's eyes many times. It was a kind of fanaticism that would sacrifice his life for his ideal.
At this time, Anna shouted to everyone in the control room: "Cheer up, everyone! We must use the rotational force of the sea spin to reach the center safely. No mistakes are allowed in every link...otherwise we will be greeted by
Only to be buried under the sea!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed.
This is the time when the navigator's skill is truly tested.
If it were anyone else, if they encountered such a whirlpool with a diameter of several thousand meters and pulled the ship to the bottom of the sea, their first reaction would definitely be to increase their power and escape.
But Anna did the opposite and directly ordered the ship to sail into the whirlpool...
It's like dancing on the tip of a knife, everyone's hearts are lifted, excited, stimulated, fearful, trustful, fearless...
Only now did Raymond truly realize how important it is to have a group of companions who can trust your life on long-distance voyages.
"Listen to my command, direction 75, speed 30, cut into the sea swirl with all your strength..."
...
"Would you like to play something so exciting..."
Raymond grabbed the railing, his heart almost beating out of his chest. At this critical moment between life and death, the "concentrating and calming" skills were completely useless.
Because of the unknown, we are afraid. This is an eternal saying...
He clearly felt that the center of gravity of the ship was tilting, and the angle was getting bigger and bigger, like a roller coaster, and the speed was getting faster and faster... Can you believe that the ship was sailing almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the vortex wall at high speed!
"Wow~"
When riding a roller coaster, you can always see some people turning pale with fear, and you can always see some people screaming with excitement.
For example, classmate Raymond is holding on to the railing tightly and is so nervous that he even made deep fingerprints on the solid iron fence. Of course, there is also Ilya next to him, whose face is full of excitement and howling...
Raymond found that when it came to sailing, he, a novice, had no say at all. Now Anna was like a supreme queen, and she was the only one who could give orders on the entire ship.
She had a serious look on her face the whole time. Even if her vision was greatly limited in the fog, she could still judge the current position of everyone based on the speed and the tilt angle of the ship...
After successfully sailing out of the sixth whirlpool, it seemed that it was suddenly in tune with a certain regular and mysterious rhythm of the sea whirlpool, and the ship's hull slowly stabilized...
Finally, Anna showed a mysterious smile.
"Left full rudder, close the furnace... let the whirlpool take us in..."
The "Golden Predator" was like a boat overnight. It was thrown out by a sea whirlpool, and then fell into the next sea whirlpool. After the spin accelerated, it was thrown out again... Each sea whirlpool was like a relay race.
Likewise, the battleship relay was thrown into the depths of the sea....
...
I don't know how long it took before the overwhelming feeling slowly disappeared.
"We're about to arrive..."
Anna's crystal eyes sparkled, this was once a mysterious place that her ancestors had set foot in. She never thought that she would be lucky enough to be able to enter safely again in her lifetime.
She completed a feat that had not been accomplished for countless years, leading an intact ship to conquer this "nightmare ghost" known as the forbidden land of mankind!
This is the core area of nightmares and ghosts.
The ship was no longer thrown away by the sea whirlpool, and they sailed into a giant whirlpool with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters...
After controlling the helm and adjusting the angle, the "Golden Predator" smoothly descended on the vortex wall without even using the power of the steam boiler.
After descending a full 10,000 meters, they finally reached the bottom of the whirlpool...
This is a dream world like an aquarium.
Various colorful marine life are surrounded by colorful fluorescent corals. Looking towards the edge of the whirlpool, the color of the water is getting darker and darker. You can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know how deep it is...
"Captain, we are rich!"
"Look, there are many sunken ships and many gold coins..."
"Oh my god, isn't that the flag of the 'Golden Hook Pirates', the largest pirate group in the Black Sea that was said to have disappeared a hundred years ago? I didn't expect that they would actually sink into this nightmare..."
"This is the mark of the plundering fleet of the cruel lord Unocal for three hundred years! Oh my God, those were official pirates back then. It is said that the money they collected was as rich as the enemy..."
"Look, that was the gold-carrying ship of the 'Linlang Chamber of Commerce' thirty years ago..."
"There is also the legendary 'Titanic' in the Black Sea that carried countless treasures..."
"..."
The water at the bottom of the sea is extremely clear, and you can clearly see the wreckage of countless ships lying densely on the seabed... Treasure boxes are scattered all over the floor, and gold coins and jewelry are piled densely on the seabed... This is the "nightmare ghost" that has been accidentally stumbled into for countless years.
Those wrecked ships... there are merchant ships, freighters, pirate ships full of treasures...
Everyone on the boat was excited...
They successfully entered this place and opened a treasury door that had been sealed for countless years. There were countless belongings here...
"Get rich..."
Raymond looked at the sunken ships and gold coins, and there were stars in the sky. Just salvaging these sunken ships might allow them to gain a huge amount of wealth.
No wonder no one has discovered this place in the game. It turns out that to safely sail into the sea whirlpool, you need such terrifying navigation skills, and you must also need the guidance of Campbell's "Crown of Silence".
Except for Anna, no other navigator in the entire Black Sea can reach here safely...
