Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 347: The shipwreck and the return journey (4,000 characters)
Chapter 347 Shipwreck and Return (4000 words)
Under the sea.
Already more than 230 meters, even for the transcendent, it is almost reaching the limit of staying.
After all, every 10 meters of water depth increases by one atmosphere, 230 meters plus a normal atmospheric pressure, it is almost 24 atmospheres.
When a normal person arrives here, the heart has been compressed and is smaller than a plum.
Of course, provided that he is not dead yet.
Grumbling...
Aven, who was locked tightly by Reynolds Ben, was still sinking at this time.
The arms like iron hoops were hooped on Ivan's body, and they kept tightening and making a creaking sound. If you change to an ordinary transcendent, you don't have to wait for drowning or being killed by water pressure, it has been abruptly strangled by the terrifying force.
Even Aiwen was not very comfortable at this time, and even heard a crunch from his ribs. The absolute violence was really incomprehensible.
Fortunately.
As the dive got deeper and deeper, Reynolds Ben’s original majestic strength had begun to decay rapidly, which also allowed Ivan to take a sigh of relief.
When Reynolds Ben's strength was exhausted, and the two of them only slowly sank under their own weight, they had already reached a point of three hundred and fifty meters underwater.
Although Ivan has been unable to move during this process, he has reconnected to Seabird's reconnaissance network and saw the situation on the battlefield.
Even though it is temporarily impossible to count the number of casualties, Ivan finally let go of his tight heart after seeing that the overall situation has been determined.
"Although the casualties are certainly not minor, they are still won!"
Especially Milan turned the tide at the last minute and saved most of the officers and soldiers on board.
Sure enough.
Abilities such as "the protagonist's halo" are simply unreasonable, and are simply one of the strongest forces in the universe.
Maybe I should give Milan more opportunities to exercise in the future, or if I encounter a strong enemy in the future, I will throw Milan out for a try?
As for now.
The only thing to worry about is myself.
Uh...maybe not so much to worry about.
Looking sideways at Reynolds Ben who locked him from behind, this guy should be more worried.
You may have to ask people are dying, why are there so many mental complaints?
On this question...
Behind him, the limbs have begun to stiffen. Reynolds Ben, who couldn't help bleeding through seven holes, looked at Alvin, who had hardly changed his appearance, and wanted to know.
"Even if you didn't suffer any injuries, you shouldn't feel all right at this depth, right?"
The density of sea water is greater than that of a normal human body, although the bone density and muscle density of the two official knights are far beyond ordinary people.
But overcoming buoyancy and sending two people to this depth in a short time, it has reached the limit of this peak knight.
At this time, he was almost exhausted because of [Uranus·Burning Cinders], and the strong physical quality that was originally a peak knight was also continuously degraded.
Being able to stay awake at this time under the heavy pressure of the sea is already an expression of extremely tenacious will.
In this case.
Boom——
Ivan struck lightly. At first, the imprisonment that seemed to be cast in steel had been easily broken away. He turned to face Reynolds Ben, who might have been unable to feel the presence of his limbs.
The more than three hundred meters underwater in the clear water has basically reached the limit of human perception of light, but it is still possible for the two extraordinary people to see each other clearly.
Ivan also easily saw the message in the eyes of this tenacious knight: "Even if you break free, you can't escape at this depth!"
But at this moment.
Grumbling...
A long black shadow rolled and fell from the top of the two men's heads.
That was a 32-pounder gun that was exploded from the lower artillery deck because Edmund blew himself up! It weighs two and a half tons!
Ivan quickly glanced at that iron cannon, then glanced at Reynolds Ben, who was so painful because of the combined action of "Profound Meaning" and "Toxin", and his whole body had already begun to convulse unconsciously.
"Oh!"
He sighed in his heart.
Although this is a strong enemy who wants to kill himself, but I can't bear it, he decided to be a good person again, so that he doesn't need to endure so much pain.
At this time, the sea indeed blocked his language.
Otherwise, abilities such as [Innate Spells·Activation Aura] shouldn’t be difficult as long as you practice more spell-free casting, but the time to get the spells is too short, and Ivan can’t do it for the time being.
I had to do it myself.
Wow!
Use the fastest speed to tie one end of the rope to Reynolds Ben's waist, and then make a loop lasso, which accurately trapped the cannon at the moment it fell from the two of them.
The rope was then stretched and tightened.
Guru!
The tightened rope took the last breath in Reynolds Ben's chest.
Then I saw the iron cannon falling fast in the water, pulling the knight all the way to the deep sea without stopping.
Even when the Peak Transcendent is in its heyday, it is impossible to drag such a heavy thing back to the surface. What's more, at this time, relying on perseverance to support, only half-breathed Reynolds Ben is left?
Notice that Reynolds Ban, who was sinking faster, raised his head vigorously even at this time, staring at him, as if to see his tragic end with his own eyes.
For example: explosion on the sea?
Ivan took something out of his arms with a little embarrassment, held it in his hand and waved it vigorously at him.
The thing under the pitch-black water was still shining with a faint blue light, even the eyes of ordinary people could see it clearly.
If you know a little about the church of "The Goddess of Kingship and Sailing", you will be able to easily recognize what it is:
Ivan's gift from the goddess-"Iron Cross".
Effect: The gods and the wearer are protected from the sea.
Although the effect is simple, it can be used in this kind of occasion.
It looks like...a bit irritating.
Reynolds Ben, who was apparently sinking, thought so too.
The moment he saw that thing clearly, he, who had already accepted the fate of death, suddenly his eyes widened, and his dry body like a wood was struggling again to fight Aiwen again!
Grumbling...
However, being firmly tied to an iron cannon, how can it be so easy to break free?
Ivan pinned the medal to the chest of his military uniform, which was still intact, and watched Reynolds Ben’s struggle gradually weaken, his figure diminished, and then disappeared completely at the end of his vision.
Some helplessly scratching his hair:
"You are so tragic one by one, but we look like villains!"
Among the three supernatural beings of Sirius, Stanley was besieged and died on the front battlefield, martyred for his country! Edmund sacrificed himself in desperate situation and gave up his life for righteousness! ! Reynolds Ban wants to pull the powerful enemy to death together, it's song and tear! ! !
Hiss——
Thinking about the style of painting is not right for a moment.
However.
His hero, my enemy!
No matter how noble people, as long as they are enemies of themselves, they still die in place...
After staying at the bottom for a while, after confirming that Reynolds Ben had actually sunk.
Ivan's heart moved.
"Kaka..."
The shadow lizard kaka's response has been heard from the bottom of my heart.
Call——
The boundless shadow around his body slowly surrounds him like a curtain.
Next moment.
The horizon changes, and Ivan has entered the gap between the shadow world and the material world.
A large lizard with a body length of nearly three meters and a flat and smooth body about the size of an adult crocodile is already waiting for him.
See Aiwen coming.
Like the owl bass, who had grown extremely high in Irvine’s promotion ceremony, screamed happily, and his body suddenly shrank and became almost the same as when he was born. He climbed up along Aiwen’s trousers. His shoulders.
"Kaka..."
Actually, even if there is no "Iron Cross" blessed by the goddess, Irving is unlikely to be in trouble. He will be escorted by "KaKa" at any time, and there is still the ability to slip away in time if the situation is not good.
Don’t be prepared to stay underwater.
Just like when he was fighting the "Iron Armored Seahorse", Ivan took the next step under the leadership of KaKa.
[Spell-like·Shadow Jump]
Sa——
"Huh?"
Originally, following KaKa's guidance, he should return to the surface of the sea, but Ivan opened his eyes and found that he was still on the deep and dark seabed.
And through the physical feelings, this position seems to be deeper than before.
"Crack! Click!"
'Something under the water interfered with the "shadow jump" just now. ’
"There is weirdness."
In Kaka's induction, the shadow world in the deep water under my feet is actually distorted. It doesn't matter if you pass through the material world, but if you pass by the shadow world, the road can be distorted.
"The distortion of the shadow world? Could it be that there was a ‘black embankment’ here in a long time ago?"
After seeing through the seabird's vision that the soldiers on the sea had begun to clean the battlefield, Ivan felt that he should still have some time to find out what exactly affected the Kaka-like spells.
Having the "Iron Cross Medal" is immune to the damage of the sea, even if there is an accident, the deep sea will not affect him much.
Sa! Sa!
After jumping twice through the gap in the shadow world again.
KaKa began to scream in the bottom of Aiwen's heart, it had already found the goal one step earlier!
"A dilapidated shipwreck?"
Approximately 600 meters below the surface, on the top of a high uplift of the submarine mountain, a black-painted shipwreck was stuck here.
In the era of great navigation, shipwrecks under the sea are of course connected with various treasures and legends.
But looking at the faintly remaining appearance of this ship, it is far from the ships of modern countries. Just like people go to see a steam ironclad ship now, one can tell that it is an antique at a glance.
And it seems to be at least an ancient shipwreck two to three hundred years ago.
"Strange! The first explorer of Hilius came here a hundred years ago. How could there be a human ship so old?"
Ivan was about to swim in the dark hatch that opened in the hole, and suddenly there was a flash of light in his mind.
In the place where the "Tree of Life School" was inherited, I had personally seen a large number of wizards of various schools being driven out of the land by the church and fleeing to the open sea.
At that time, it was about the same age as this ship, probably in the three to four hundred years. Is this also the sailing ship that the wizard used to flee?
It's just that they escaped farther than "Snake Man" Hebkrit, and the ending is no different.
Thinking of this, Ivan didn't rush in anymore.
Things related to wizards must be handled carefully.
"Crack!"
The little lizard on the shoulders bounced out, the body rapidly expanded into a thin shadow, and then covered the wreckage of the sailing ship with a total length of about 30 meters like a stream of water.
After half a minute.
When the lizard-shaped kaka appeared on the spot again, the silt and seawater nearby the sailing ship had disappeared.
[Spell-like·Shadow Vault! 】
Strictly speaking, "shadow jumping" is the instinct of all shadow creatures, and "shadow Vault" is the biggest benefit KaKa gets in Ivan's promotion.
Although this kind of portable space has the shortcomings that it cannot be kept fresh and that any living thing or even seeds will be eroded by the shadow energy, the space is large enough.
Even shortly after awakening this ability, the "Shadow Vault" is already larger than a standard basketball court.
"Kaka, good job!"
A word of encouragement in my heart.
After putting away the shipwreck, "Shadow Jump" was no longer obstructed.
A few steps later.
Ivan and Ka Ka have returned to the sea smoothly.
At this time, the aftermath on the sea has ended.
The soldiers gathered all the captives of Hilius and the surviving warships, and the search for the loot has been completed.
Seeing him come back, the officers and soldiers of our two warships breathed a sigh of relief from top to bottom.
Ivan, the supernaturally powerful captain, has already become the backbone of everyone without knowing it.
"Your Captain!"
I came to the deck of "Cape Storm" and took over a list of trophies handed by Boris who was in charge of commanding the cleaning of the battlefield.
This battle captured Hilius’s three-tier battleship "Stellenbosch", the last five-tier ship "Narcissus" with a damaged steering wheel, and all the surviving Hilius on the four battleships after the naval battle. There are 623 soldiers in total.
There is also a very practical ocean secret treasure [Clarion of Ocean Currents].
As for the other two Tier 5 cruise ships that were seriously damaged, they may capsize before being towed back to the coast. The carpenter assessed that they could only be demolished for materials.
These power items are similar to what Ivan estimated, but he is a little surprised that these tasks shouldn't be the responsibility of First Mate Borg? He raised his head and asked casually:
"Where is the chief mate?"
Boris's face darkened slightly.
"Not so good..."
At the same time, another counted list of the dead was also handed over.
At this moment, Ivan's hand winced for a moment, and then he took it.
"The steering chief Tracy, Barrow, Brown..."
The familiar names are listed.
Ivan clearly remembers the looks, names, hometowns, specialties, hobbies of everyone on the ship... They followed them to the New World, but at this time, more than one-third of the people never returned. I went to my hometown.
The joy of victory was completely wiped out by this piece of paper in an instant.
This time, the unprecedented huge casualties since Ivan became a captain made his strong and thick shoulders shake a little, and he turned around silently and looked at the sea.
"Call—"
Standing for a while, let out a deep breath, then carefully folded this piece of paper and put it in my left chest pocket~IndoMTL.com~I...go to see the wounded. "
In one hour.
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
All the survivors on the two battleships fired twelve shots to pay tribute to these sacrificed comrades.
Two severely damaged cruise ships became their coffins and then they were sunk into the deep sea. All the navies in the kingdom that held funerals in the form of sea burials, and the use of five-tier ships for burial is also unique.
Call——
The sea breeze swept, and the four battleships returned slowly.
At this time.
The fog has already disappeared completely.
Only the unchanging sunset on the unchanging sea...red as blood!
