At this time, it is far from the time for the passengers to sleep.
Although there were not many people on the damp and dark deck, the bar in the cabin was noisy at that time.
The lizard croupier was shaking the dice, and a lot of people gathered around him; there were some poker players or chess players who looked like masters gathered in the corner, and some people gathered behind them. People watching the excitement with their hands folded.
The half-elf bartender with a stern expression was shaking the shaker cup in his hand at the same rhythm and frequency, and behind him were small oak barrels one after another.
At the bar, tourists who had never met before each had wine and late-night snacks in front of them, chatting about their experiences, or bragging with a blushing face.
The only regret is probably that there are no dancers... However, it is very normal to not have dancers on the ship.
"I'm telling you," a bearded man blushed, "this new pope is quite famous in Avalon..."
While people were concentrating on When listening to gossip.
Suddenly, a sudden impact from an external force caused the ship to begin to shake violently, interrupting the man's words.
The swaying lights in the cabin went out or flickered as a result, and someone drunkenly walked to the card table holding a wine glass. However, due to the sudden shaking, he lost his balance, and the dark beer with brown foam in his hand was directly released from his hand, spilling it on other people's heads, and directly making the nearby card table wet.
"Hey, you-"
Dissatisfied voices suddenly came out, the crowd pushed hard, and the quarrel suddenly became louder, drowning out the laughter and chat. .
The next moment, the ship shook violently again - but this time, it was more than just a shake.
The ship suddenly tipped violently to one side, and people and many small round stools and high chairs all slid to that side and were piled in the corner.
In an instant, there were screams of terror and confused scoldings. Due to the violent collision and shaking, all the lights that had been safely extinguished spontaneously went out, so the flames did not spread outward. All the wine glasses on the table slipped to one side, tipped over, and shattered.
All these wines were mixed together, splashed on the passengers piled up to one end of the room, and exuded an unpleasant and pungent smell.
Before people could react, the ship suddenly tilted violently to the other side.
With mixed screams, people rolled towards the other end of the room. People kept bumping into other people, or into tables and chairs. The table and some chairs are fixed to the boat, but some chairs are movable. They slid, rolled - and even flew up into other people, causing a lot of damage.
Only the half-elf bartender quickly grabbed the counter... However, even so, barrels kept rolling out of it.It fell out and hit his back and legs. During the second round of tilting, there were also some lucky passengers who grabbed the tables fixed on the ground and barely managed to avoid the flying human cannonballs in the complete darkness.
"Ugh..."
Under the violent shaking, someone finally couldn't stop vomiting. In the complete darkness, it was impossible to see who was vomiting and how far away it was.
The vomit mixed with the alcohol on the floor has become a stronger emetic and lubricant, making it difficult for people to get up... let alone get out of the bed. Escape from the stacked crowds, the completely dark environment, and the chaotic layout of tables and chairs... without harming other people.
"Don't use fire to illuminate——"
In this bar, the first person to react was the bartender.
Then the ship began to rock to the other side again.
During this second round of shaking, the half-elf bartender shouted anxiously in a voice that almost broke his voice: "Don't light the fire——"
Fortunately, this ship There were many priests on the ship from the Theocracy to Star Antimony.
One hand after another was raised high, and the light of the illumination technique lit up like a beacon one after another, which was very effective in dispelling the fear in people's hearts.
Relying on the illumination of the lights, some quick-moving extraordinary people were finally able to clearly see the layout of the room, quickly opened the room, and escaped from this extremely smelly and chaotic bar. The remaining people were illuminated by lights and were finally able to hold on to the tables and chairs fixed to the ground. The situation seemed a little better for a while.
——The next moment, a huge tentacle fell from the sky!
It suddenly shattered the deck above. The splintered wood and metal were mixed together and fell towards the frightened passengers!
Some stubble stuck on the ground, and some stubble fell on people. This is not immediately fatal...but in the constantly shaking cabin, it is as dangerous as a peeling peeler for fruits and vegetables.
"Sea monster——"
Some people were exclaiming, while others were rising up to resist - it was a lizard man warrior. He suddenly drew out the scimitar from his waist and slashed it. A sharp sword energy!
It was a sharp strike that was as bright as moonlight, extremely dazzling in the dark space.
——That is the third level of [Ferocious Slash]!
If its power falls on a person, it is enough to cut a strong man wearing light armor in half from a distance of more than ten meters!
However, when the slash landed on the tentacle, it couldn't even make it bleed.
The huge tentacles didn’t even break the skin, but instead fought back with great fury - the warrior was instantly pinpointed by the eyeless tentacles that fought back like a conditioned reflex, and was immediately photographed on the wall. !
Some people had an idea and jumped high when the sea monster's tentacles retracted.He grabbed the tip of the hanging tentacle and planned to use the force of its retraction to escape from the room!
His plan was a perfect success.
As expected, the sea monster ignored him and took him away from the gap. The silver moonlight outside fell through the gap into the cabin, looking so bright.
But the next moment, the passengers in the cabin heard an extremely frightening and shrill roar: "So many, so many tentacles-"
His screams stopped suddenly. end.
Moist blood like drizzle fell from the gap.
Because of this big hole, people can also hear what is happening outside.
“—Fire!”
The captain’s voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, exciting gunfire sounded one after another.
However, the sound of the cannon was just one round, and the sea monster seemed to be angered, tilting the ship harder and tearing the hull apart. Loud noises of tentacles smashing the deck, as well as the screams of sailors, were heard constantly on the deck.
Fear permeated the travelers like the smell of alcohol on the ground, making the vomiting more intense. At this time, even the most clean people could no longer care about maintaining dignity - they were all worried that the ship would be torn apart or overturned by the angry sea monster.
But at this moment, the captain's hurried voice suddenly came from outside:
"Professor Laxmi...please help me!"
< p>"I know...but I can only hold on for a while."Another voice that seemed a little cold, but now seemed rational and reliable, followed closely: "Go and ask Crowe Miss Li!"
"But, Dimit..."
A frightened and hesitant young man's voice sounded.
"I'm watching, nothing will happen - go quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dim yellow light penetrated the ship.
The wine and vomit on the ground turned into a piece of yellow mud, the smell became much lighter in an instant, and the ground no longer became so slippery. And everyone in the inner cabin was fixed to the ground by a mysterious force at the same time, like mice stuck on a sticky board... No matter how the ship shook, it would not slide around.
Saved...
Such a voice emerged in people's hearts.
In another room, the Necromancer apprentices in the Ziggurat breathed a sigh of relief and cheered with high spirits: "Professor Laxmi has taken action!"
"Professor must be fine!"
"Maybe the professor can catch the sea monster..."
However, outside, Professor Laxmi's expression was far away It's more serious than they imagined.
He half-knelt on the ground and put his hand on the deck. The dim yellow light almost covered the entire ship. This made him sweat a little...and the hemispherical haze appeared on his bodyThe color shield also looked so dangerous under the attack of the sea monster.
... Damn it!
He cursed the military intelligence department in his heart - there was a sea monster passing through this waterway, why didn't he warn them!
As the professor of the Ziggurat, he naturally knows the secrets of the Twilight Path...
Just like the Authority Path was preceded by the Power Path, the Twilight Path also has a predecessor. . Although he didn't know the name of that path, he at least knew... that it was the path closely related to the deep sea.
All kinds of sea monsters and sea monsters from the deep sea all come from that path. They are the template for many monsters created by the path of beasts and the path of love.
Dark, deep, terrifying... even impossible to look directly at.
Just trying to parse that power is enough to drive one crazy.
Because of this, even the Ziggurat does not have an in-depth understanding of them.
...But Professor Laxmi has already guessed why this sea monster suddenly appeared.
It must have been the corpses soaked in preservation fluid that lured it over!
Professor Laxmi had considered the possibility that the body would be eaten by a passing shark. It would be better to say that this was part of the plan. Otherwise, if these corpses wash up on the shore, it will not be good for fishermen to catch them.
However, this concentration of preservation solution is fatal to those sharks.
After eating these corpses, they will soon die due to "twilight", and the corpses will return to the sea and become nourishment for other fish.
But if there happens to be a sea monster nearby, the situation will be different——
For sea monsters on the same path, whether it is a corpse soaked in preservation fluid or a Or these preservation solutions are all sweet nutrients.
This sea monster doesn't look too big... It should be considered relatively young among the sea monsters, probably only living less than a thousand years old. It is holding the ship and rocking it now, not because it has any hostility towards them - otherwise, the sea monster has many ways to directly destroy the ship.
Whether it is remote casting, creating whirlpools and tsunamis; or directly freezing them, it can be done.
Or you can just use the tentacles to smash the ship... This is not difficult for it.
Now it smashes the same hole in the ship, and then shakes the ship desperately - in the simple brain of the sea monster, this is actually trying to squeeze more "noose potion" from it .
It obviously does not understand what a "ship" is, but regards it as another strange sea monster. After all, there are all kinds of strange sea monsters, so it’s not surprising that there is a wooden shell on the outside.
Therefore, the sea monster identified the dripping noose potion as the ship's bodily fluids or excrement... and now it is planning to shake it up according to its habit of hunting other sea monsters. Bodily fluids are then poured out...or "terrorized" into the ship, and more excrement is expelled.
And sea monsters can't communicate, they're real monsters - and that's the trouble.
After their power was transformed into the Dusk Path, they were like the extraordinary beings of the former Power Path who had lost half a level and were far weaker than other extraordinary beings of the same energy level...
There can only be one situation that can bring such pressure to Professor Laxmi, who is close to the peak of the fourth energy level.
——This sea monster looks relatively young, but it is a powerful enemy from the fifth energy level!
Even if the strength is weakened by half, this is by no means an enemy that Professor Laxmi can reach...
On this ship, there can only be one... or rather, A group of fifth-level extraordinary beings.
That is "Aleister" and her butler.
Now we can only hope that she is willing to take action... If she does not take action, the ship may fall apart!
Not to mention how many people will be eaten by the angry sea monster who failed to achieve their goal - even if they are lucky enough to survive the sea monster, they are still a whole night away from the star. Woolen cloth!
I held the driftwood and swam continuously for about eight hours... without getting lost and walking the shortest distance. This is estimated to be possible only for a third-level transcendent.
At this moment, something else suddenly appeared in the ocean.
——That is the "head" of the sea monster.
It looks like a huge reef, and on it is a beautiful girl wearing a "white gauze skirt" that was wet by water.
She clasped her hands together as if praying for something. And after leaving the water, she sang a melodious song.
Professor Laxmi also finally identified the species of this sea monster -
- This is the "Sea Bride"!
It looks like a girl trapped in the ocean, but this is actually just a predatory posture used to disguise it. Its real head is actually on the "reef"
If anyone is tempted by the beauty, or is curious after hearing the singing and comes closer, they will be torn apart in an instant by the tentacles lurking under the sea!
Everyone knows that sea monsters are monsters that prey on souls. For them, extraordinary beings and other extraordinary beings are serious food. Ordinary fish can only fill their stomachs, but cannot appease their restless souls.
If the hero is killed by a sea monster, he will not be able to go to the dream world and become an apostle... although this actually has little to do with most people.
Because in fact most people just recycle and reuse materials to become new souls. However, many people believe in "reincarnation" and long for eternal life in the dream world, so people are also afraid of these sea monsters. Even heroes who make a living by hunting monsters rarely go to the deep sea to hunt.
When Professor Laxmi heard the singing, he felt something was wrong.
He felt a huge sleepiness almost instantlyAttack. This is because Dusk Road is resistant to mental disorders, otherwise he would fall asleep like those sailors.
In an instant, only two people were still conscious on the deck.
One is him, and the other is the captain who is struggling to support himself. The captain tried his best to block his ears, but found that it was useless. He gradually knelt down and curled up into a ball.
"This is the ability to corrupt the path of self-beauty——"
Professor Laxmi couldn't help but said: "This is a song that directly affects the soul..." It's useless."
"——Really?"
At this moment, a cold and reserved voice sounded: "I don't think so."
The next moment, the singing sea monster suddenly let out a sharp scream.
As if it saw something frightening, it immediately let go of the tentacles wrapped around the ship... and then tried to escape in embarrassment!
And in an instant, scorching fire rose from the ground——
The night turned into day in an instant.
The sky was lit up by a sky-wide fire!
Several laser beams instantly cut the sea monster into several pieces!
But at this time, the strange thing is...the sea monster suddenly lost its fear and turned back angrily to fight back.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge flame condensed into a pillar and struck with a crash - falling directly on the head of the sea monster!
