The duckweeds on the water surface are gradually becoming scarce, but the vines are becoming more and more numerous.
They are like shrubs all over the mountains and plains, covering the river. From time to time, birds rise and fall among them, and their chirping sounds are endless.
Some light little beasts were running around in the water jungle. When they heard the sound of the armored ship breaking through the waves, they all shrank their heads, their eyes curious and frightened.
The captain said: "The next step is a water forest of three thousand miles! This is also the most dangerous area."
The surface of the water is covered with shrubs and vines, and there may be nothing underneath, but it could also be a reef or even an island.
One mistake could result in a shipwreck and loss of lives. Even if the Tide Frogs were driving an ironclad ship, they would not dare to take it lightly here.
Fortunately, the Tide Frogs have been exploring routes to sea in recent years, and they have even saved routes on the navigation function of smart terminals. As long as they do not deviate, there will basically be no surprises.
Even so, the crew members stood on the bow of the ship, carefully observing the water surface with their eyes wide open, and judging the water area based on the tendency of current flow and plant growth.
A frogman is attached to the hull below the waterline, observing the situation underwater, using the communication function of the chip, and reporting at regular intervals.
Xi Tong couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the captains in the river port shrank in fear as soon as they heard about going to sea.
The first thing is that the ship is not good, the second thing is that the support of other hardware equipment cannot keep up, and the most important thing is that every voyage they take is a risk and their lives are at stake.
Even if they are lucky and succeed once or twice, they will always have bad luck.
The Tide Frogmen can replicate success again and again. The success of one person is the success of a hundred people.
Therefore, the commission of 2,000 gold coins is not worth the risk of other captains, but the Tide Frogman thinks it is just making money while traveling.
But at this time, the tidal frogman who was observing the situation underwater jumped out of the water and screamed before he even landed on the deck.
"There's a monster! It's right under our feet!"
Before he could finish his words, everyone heard a rumbling collision, the ship shuddered, and everyone felt their feet suddenly lifted into the air.
Paris and Xi Tong both staggered from side to side, but the Tide Frogs clung to the deck with their soles of their feet, as if their bodies were nailed to death.
Even though the hull of the ship was rocking back and forth like a roller coaster, the Tide Frogs remained motionless. This was simply cheating.
Roar!
A black monster with a dragon head and a snake body emerged from the boat. There was a ring of lion's mane-like bone spurs on its neck. When it roared, these bone spurs stood up, making it even larger and more powerful.
It stared down at the armored ship. The floating part alone reached more than 40 meters, and the invisible pressure made everyone breathless.
The captain looked horrified, "What kind of monster is this? I've never heard of it before."
There are many aquatic monsters in the water jungle area. In the past, when the dragon clan did not disappear, there were still several dragon clans entrenched here, and there were countless kinds of beasts.
However, the Tide Frogs have a good grasp of the forces here, and the dangerous areas are clearly marked. The threatening monsters have basically been dealt with, and the remaining ones are not a concern at all.
However, this strange snake was unheard of and unseen. Where did it come from?
"It is the guardian of the dark abyss. It absorbs the evil power of the dark abyss to grow, and devours the flesh and blood of living creatures to grow stronger. Its scales are stronger than refined steel, and its power is stronger than that of a red dragon. Moreover, its fangs contain poison, which can
He will die."
Paris said in a cold voice, without any emotion in her words, as if she was announcing the outcome of a death sentence.
Xi Tong's heart moved. Could it be that Paris had something to do with it? Poison? Could it be the poison on her body...
Paris nodded, "Yes, it's these beasts!"
Xi Tong drew his sword and asked: "Since you have fought against them and been able to escape from them, you must know their weaknesses, right?"
Paris did not answer Xi Tong's question, but said to herself: "Legend has it that there is a mysterious spring of life on the Titan Continent, and drinking from it can keep you young and immortal."
"Our family is a treasure hunter, and the fountain of life has been our family's pursuit for thousands of years."
"We succeeded, but we also failed. All the tribesmen were wiped out!"
Paris's burgundy eyes were filled with crazy blood. She took out a pair of claw blades from her arms and put them on her hands.
Seeing the claw blade, Xi Tong's eyes widened suddenly. It wasn't that the claws were too special, but that the materials used for the claws were so rubbish. They were actually made of stone.
This kind of brittle thing will break and shatter if hit slightly.
Paris raised her hand to lift up her gown and replied coldly: "This is flint. The greatest weakness of the guardian of the abyss is fire!"
After saying these words, Paris had already jumped up from the boat, and her small figure rushed towards the strange snake bravely and fearlessly. She was as humble as a groundworm shaking a pillar, and as heroic as a moth rushing into the flame.
"I have been waiting for you, waiting to bury you again!"
Although the strange snake is tall and mighty, it has no arms or legs and its attack methods are very monotonous.
If it were an enemy of the same size, it could wrap itself around it and bite it with its mouth. However, facing the ant-like Paris, the only thing it could do was to flick its tail and create a wave.
Although Paris tried her best to dodge, she still couldn't avoid it.
The waves of water hit her body hard, with such force as a heavy hammer that her bones cracked, her internal organs shifted and even shattered, and large mouthfuls of black-red blood spurted out of her mouth for free.
The momentum of the forward motion stopped abruptly, and she was knocked back to the boat by the big waves. Paris coughed and vomited out a large ball of black blood.
His body was already on the verge of collapse, and his strength was no longer as good as before. Even if he had a complete countermeasure, he was still unable to put it into practice.
The Guardian of the Abyss let out a long hiss of pleasure, and then swung his tail and hit the side of the ironclad ship. The surging waves raised the ship high, and then hit the water heavily again.
Paris tried her best to open her eyes, but only her left eye responded to the call.
"Throw me over, I want to die with it, please..."
Xi Tong shook his head, "I still expect you to help me find traces of the water dragon. If you die here, wouldn't my money and time be wasted in vain?"
After saying that, Xi Tong turned and left.
At the same time, Xi Tong from Planet Terra waved his hand to open the space channel, and then let a small drop of sweet rain fall down.
Water droplets fell from the sky and hit Paris with precision, making Paris groan and almost lose her breath.
The next moment, a cool feeling came from all the limbs and bones, and Paris's injuries were about to recover and healed.
At this time, the Tide Frogs helped Paris up and dragged her to the cabin.
On the other side, Xi Tong jumped on the boat and rushed towards the guardian of the abyss bravely.
