Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 358: Listen to the sounds of sea beasts

Su Lun had guessed before that there might be senior generals in the submarine who were unable to deal with them.

But it won’t be high, at most it will be [major general].

After all, there are many top generals at the "star general" level in the Marfa Empire. Mechanical armors of that level are strategic resources and will almost never be exported abroad as a "dowry".

Moreover, the ostentation of the nobles has a set of fixed rules that have lasted for thousands of years. Especially for the royal family, the ostentation is also fixed.

The prince has the dignity of a prince, and the princess has the dignity of a princess, and they are not allowed to overstep their bounds.

In layman's terms, the thirteenth princess Skadi Harris is not qualified to be dowed by a [lieutenant general]-level senior general.

Su Lun knew this, and that’s why he made his current plan.

The original plan was that if he was a "Brigadier General", he could be killed.

If it was a "major general", he would probably have to retreat.

Although Senjou has entered the Sword Saint realm and has exquisite swordsmanship, he is only at the fifth level after all. If they really want to fight, the difference in strength between the big ranks is not so easy to erase.

Moreover, mechanical armor is the nemesis of swordsman professionals.

Just like now

Qianjo entered the scene and directly resisted the major general-level officer with a domineering attitude.

But even though the sword energy is sharp and can cut hundreds of meters across the sea, and even cut through the waves, it falls on the [Major General Level Demon Blade X1 Type Mechanical Armor], but it barely leaves any slashes. trace.

This mechanical armor has a layer of ablation barrier on its surface that can visibly ablate all energy attacks.

The magic lava whip in the mecha's hand is also extremely sharp. It can even **** a mechanical octopus with one whip, let alone a human body of flesh and blood?

Furthermore, this [major general level] armor is not at all clumsy as low-level armor. The magic energy power system has almost no pause time for charging, and the action gap is extremely short, making it very agile. Even the slight stiffness that cannot be eliminated by any mechanical equipment is enough to make up for it with super strong defensive and offensive capabilities.

Here is the super defensive advantage of the mechanical armor.

It can take a long beating, but don't let it touch you.

One whip down, one blow into the soul.

Qianjiao could face the hard steel armor, but he had to dodge the long whip.

After several face-to-face fights, they didn't get the slightest advantage.

Faced with this kind of opponent, Su Lun used all his methods and besieged them together. There was a chance to kill them, but it would take a long time.

Unfortunately, the "Princess" and eight frigates are all nearby, and there is no way to allow a protracted war.

Must withdraw first!

Su Lun looked at the fierce battle ahead, turned his eyes, and immediately came up with a plan.

He did not go to help Senjou, but controlled the mechanical octopus and headed towards the submarine!

Without that [major general level] armor, other mechanical warriors would almost always end up being under control for Su Lun.

Furthermore, Su Lun's Black Scythe poses a great threat to submarines.

No matter how strong the steel plate armor is, it is useless in the face of space cracks.

The "major general" seemed to be aware of this.

After watching Su Lun kill two more of his subordinates, he no longer dared to have any entanglement, and came directly towards Su Lun, trying to contain him. As soon as Senjo entered the scene, this guy also clearly realized that it was difficult to protect himself with only one of their ships, and he had no intention of retaining people. Nothing could be done, and the submarine, which had been slashed several times, was ordered to dive quickly.

Su Lun squinted at the submersible submarine. Originally, he was sure of sinking the ship.

He has spatial displacement, so it is not difficult to catch up.

But as soon as this thought flashed in his mind, it was replaced by another, better plan.

Even if it sinks now, he doesn't have time to salvage it.

When the "Princess" comes, they still have to evacuate.

Moreover, this submarine is a combat ship, not a "secret mechanical research institute".

Just such a submarine cannot satisfy his appetite.

With a flash of thought, Su Lun watched the submarine dive into the sea. Instead of chasing it, he pretended that he couldn't let go and joined hands with Qian Jiao to fight against the "major general".

The low-level professionals could not participate in this level of fighting, so Suellen informed Dr. Banks to let the low-level crew members in the sea leave first. In the blink of an eye, the only battle left on the sea was "adversaries and generals".

To deal with the mechanical warriors, Su Lun had no intention of consuming his few puppet assets.

He took out the rune black umbrella, pinched it with his double surgeon's seal, and dense red spiritual bodies surged out with a crazy will. There are nearly 100,000 resentful spirits in the rune black umbrella, and these resentments can cause continuous attacks on the target.

Su Lun has personally experienced Black Flash's super "necromancy penetration". He knows that even if this mechanical armor has an invigorating alloy that can resist most mental attacks, the continuous attacks of the resentful spirits can also resist. The people inside the mecha will be increasingly affected.

Furthermore, the Wraith is immune to all physical attacks, even the [Magic Hot Lava Python Knife] cannot hurt it at all.

If the "major general" is really consumed, once he is mentally controlled and his reaction is slightly slow, Su Lun can immediately kill him with the black scythe!

Su Lun also saw that this "major general" wanted to hold them back and wait for the large army to come and surround them.

But where would they want to fight?

While fighting, he and Qian Jiao led people deep into the storm.

The "major general" has been hanging far away. After testing, he also knew that Su Lun's attack range was limited, and the black umbrella's resentful spirit could probably cover a few hundred meters in radius. As long as you don't get close to that range, you won't be affected.

But they don’t dare to fight in close quarters. How can they keep Su Lun, who is extremely capable of moving on the sea surface?

With a little bit of blinding, he and Senjou disappeared into the strong wind and waves

Not long after, the "Dawn" in the storm.

Su Lun and Qian Jiao jumped onto the deck.

As soon as I got on the boat, I heard Tani's voice commanding the sailors on the boat to control the sailboat, overcoming the sound of the heavy rain.

"Left full rudder, let's hit the waves!"

"Yes, fix the sails, we have to ride the storm, not let the storm blow us away!"

"Hold on tight, everyone, we're going surfing!"

""

On the deck, Lolotta, the three giant brothers, sumo wrestlers, and swordsmen all worked together to pull the cables, intending to make every command accurately executed.

Their ship was in the center of the storm. The waves here were tens of meters high, and the rain and waves washed over the ship and everyone like pouring water.

Such storms and waves are catastrophic weather that means death for most navigators.

When encountering this kind of weather at sea, there is usually only one ending, and that is "shipwreck"!

But under Tani's command, the three-masted sailing ship "Dawn" not only did not sink, but instead glided smoothly on the higher and higher waves like a surfer, making thrilling adventures again and again. And an incredible voyage.

Even Su Lun was horrified to see it.

He used the eight-armed spider spear to secure himself to the deck, but the center of gravity continued to shift as the ship tilted, tilting left, right, vertically, and even almost upside down.

Being lifted up by the waves, or rushing down from a high place, there is also the strong feeling of overweight and weightlessness of sitting over the mountain.

This was Su Lun’s first time to experience such an exciting voyage.

Every time, it always feels like the boat is about to be overturned by the storm, but at the critical moment, it mysteriously rides the next huge wave that comes.

As if they weren't fighting a bad storm.

But a child loved by the sea, surfing in the storm and having a great time.

The waves washed against the hull, and the sound of "crash" was heard endlessly.

The heavy rain soaked both of them.

Thousands of green hair stuck to his face.

The battle just now left her a little unsatisfied, but when she looked at the young man who was commanding passionately in the cockpit, she couldn't hide her admiration in her eyes and said with emotion: "Su Lun, this navigator you found is very powerful."

"Yes."

Su Lun also had bright eyes and a face full of relief.

Although he had expected it, seeing it with his own eyes, he was no less shocked than Qian Jiao.

When making the battle plan before, Su Lun expressed some of his thoughts.

He asked Tani if ​​he could sail a sea ship in such an extremely bad storm?

Tani said very firmly, yes.

Su Lun completely believed him and gave him the driving and command authority of the sea ship.

At this moment, looking at the confidence in the eyes of the Naga mixed-race boy, Su Lun knew that his trust was in the right place.

Tani is definitely one of the best navigators in the entire pirate city of Hastlin, or on this blue sea.

Qianjou looked excited about getting a treasure and said with a smile: "Haha, from now on he will be the chief navigator of our 'Dawn Group'!"

The ship is still shaking violently, and Tani said that the storm may continue for several hours.

In the view shared by Black Crow, the "Princess" at the end of the view was no longer visible.

Such a strong storm can cause the ship to sink if you are not careful. Even if she wanted to get more "neuro-mechanical technology", the precious "Princess Frost Moon" probably wouldn't be so desperate to pursue it herself.

There may be submarines chasing after them in the sea, but Tani has already commanded the ships to keep a distance.

This is not an "unlucky guy cursed by the sea". The waves and storms will take care of him.

Where Tani is, the storm will follow.

The ship, blessed by waves and strong winds, is like an arrow leaving the string. At this speed, even a submarine cannot catch up.

The situation looks thrilling, but in fact the most dangerous moment has been passed

The ship was piloted by Tani and the crew, and Qianjiao also stayed on the deck. No need for Su Lun to worry, he walked into the captain's cabin.

Here, Dr. Banks, "Butcher" Banner and some core cadres of the 19th Division have been waiting for a while. Although most of the group members were still separated at sea, this was the best outcome. Those who were separated had prepared life-saving devices in advance, and they could just wait until the storm passed and then fish them out slowly in this sea area.

Dr. Banks also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Lun come back safely.

Su Lun didn't ask anything else, and asked directly with expectation: "Doctor, have you marked it?"

Dr. Banks smiled and said: "No problem. I have put a biological marker on that submarine. No matter how far away I am, I can sense the position of their fleet."

Hearing this, Su Lun's face lit up with joy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "This time, my work was not in vain."

Su Lun actually had a chance to sink the submarine before, but he didn't do it.

In fact, it is to play the long game and catch big fish.

The reason why this tactic is possible is related to an ability of Dr. Banks. He can use [Eternal Cells] to mark objects. Then as the "mother", he can sense the exact location of those cells.

Conventional magic marks, or other equipment marks, are easily discovered and removed in the military field.

This kind of biological biomarker is very secretive, like microorganisms attached to the hull of a ship, and will not be noticed at all.

In this way, Su Lun and the others can always keep track of the location of the escaped submarine.

If the "Secret Mechanical Research Institute" is indeed in a submarine as Su Lun guessed, then such an important base must have a guard force.

Surface ships are too big of a target, so submarines are the best choice.

These submarines are all brought from the Marfa Empire, and "Frost Moon Princess" Skadi will never have too many.

So there is a high probability that they will be together.

As long as you can determine the location, wait for Su Lun's octopus army to take shape, and intercept it next time, the success rate will be very high!

Finally, two hours later, the waves subsided.

The sun penetrated through the dark clouds and shone on the deck.

The storm washed away the hull, making it look brand new and shiny.

Suellen led Dr. Banks and his team onto the deck.

Everyone saw him and greeted him one after another.

At this time, Tani also jumped down from the mast, landed on the deck, and greeted: "Mr. Sulen!"

Su Lun looked at the biggest hero of this operation and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Tani. Your navigation skills are really great."

Hearing the compliment, Tani rolled his head a little sheepishly, but his clear light blue eyes shone with encouragement.

This was not his first time sailing, but it was the only time it went so smoothly.

Everyone on this huge sea ship believed in him. No one looked at him differently because of his "unlucky guy cursed by the sea", and no one looked down upon him because of his childish appearance.

He felt a strong feeling of being trusted!

Qianjou on the side also patted Tani on the shoulder and said: "Tani, you are very good. From now on, you will be the navigator of our Dawn Group!"

As soon as Qianjo opened his mouth, he officially recognized the identity of the new crew member.

Hearing this, the crew members on the ship also cheered and praised each other, welcoming the new member.

"Welcome our new member, an excellent navigator!"

"Oh, I can't believe we just sailed out of such a catastrophic storm intact! Hahaha"

"Tani is the most powerful navigator I have ever seen!"

"Yeah. It's really great!"

""

The crew did not hesitate in their praise,

Tani looked at the smiling faces that were as warm as family members, and felt a deep warmth in his heart. His eyes heated up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Su Lun, thank you Sister Qiantiao, thank you all. ”

He came to the Pirate City when he was very young. Because he is a hybrid of sea monster and human, he has been discriminated against and excluded.

Also known as "the unlucky guy cursed by the sea".

When his mother could not speak, she told him to live well and that fate would be kind to everyone who faces life positively.

So, he has been working hard to live.

Even though my mother has been completely petrified and has not spoken again for many years.

He also remembered his mother's words.

He has always tried hard to face life with positivity and optimism. While making money, he also studied navigation knowledge seriously

His dream is that one day, he will have his own partners, driving their own big sea ship, to explore every corner of the sea.

As Tani was thinking about it, tears suddenly filled her eyes and couldn't stop them from flowing out.

He has never met anyone who is so easy to get along with. Everyone is full of kindness. For the first time, he experienced respect and equality. It was a wonderful feeling, like seeing the sunshine after the storm in front of you, which made people feel warm.

Rather than the intrigues, depression, and gloom of the Pirate City.

At this moment, he saw the beauty of the world.

Seeing Tani crying, Lolotta handed over a handkerchief and said with a playful smile: "Here it is for you. Our crying navigator."

"Thank you, Miss Lolotta."

Tani took it and smiled a little shyly, because there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, he looked very funny.

Qianjou also couldn't help laughing, smiled, and introduced: "This is Mr. Banner. Many people on the ship should know him, the Old Lington Steam Party. Now, he and his members are also our Dawn Become a member of the group!"

As soon as he said this, the boat became lively.

"Wow welcome old friends from the Steam Party."

""

Most of the people from the Steam Party and the Cross Society are cadre-level experts, and many of them know each other. When we meet on this boat, it feels like "meeting an old friend in a foreign land", and everyone is not surprised.

Qianjou did not introduce Dr. Banks. This was the doctor’s own intention.

Even if he joins the "Dawn Group" now, he doesn't want to be known about his existence. He just wants to do scientific research quietly

This escape plan was perfect.

Every detail is almost as Su Lun expected.

What they have to do now is to follow the biological markers and distress signals left by Dr. Banks and slowly recover the crew members who were scattered at sea.

Now the sea is calm and the ships are sailing on the sea without any haste.

The sky is clear again and cloudless.

On the sea, the "Princess" fleet has completely disappeared, and the previous tense atmosphere has completely dissipated.

Qianjiao is blowing the sea breeze on the mast, Dr. Banks is in the cabin tinkering with his laboratory, Lolotta is practicing his sword as hard as ever, and Banner and his brothers are trying to integrate into this new team

Some new members have been added to the Dawn Group, and everyone is very happy.

Su Lun was basking in the sun on the deck, enjoying the rare leisure time.

But suddenly, Tani jumped from the mast.

With a puzzled expression on his face, he said: "Mr. Su Lun, I discovered something and I want to report it to you."

Su Lun looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tani frowned and said: "There seems to be a very strange guy in the water."

When Su Lun heard this, he was a little confused and instinctively asked: "Is there a strange guy in the water?"

Others on the boat also looked over.

"Yeah."

Tani hesitated for a moment, seeming to recall some unpleasant memory.

Looking at everyone’s friendly and doubtful looks, he plucked up the courage and said, "Just now the fish discovered that there is something very strange in the sea."

When Su Lun heard this, he thought of something and asked, "Can you communicate with fish?"

Tani nodded and said: "Yes. When I was a child, I could understand small animals talking, but I couldn't always hear them. But now, I seem to be able to hear them all the time."

He once told others that he seemed to be able to understand the sounds of small animals.

But that ability comes and goes, and when I want to prove it, I can't hear it, so I am laughed at mercilessly.

Afterwards, he never mentioned it to anyone again.

"Oh."

Suellen realized that this might be a natural ability.

It's a bit like [Talent C-021-Beast Whisperer].

It is easy for people to awaken their talents when they experience great ups and downs, or when their mood changes greatly.

But Suellen is not sure that this is Tani's innate ability.

Because he can also passively attract storms.

That is the talent of the Nagas, they are the darlings of the ocean and storms.

However, Su Lun was more curious about something else than pursuing this problem.

He asked: "What is it?"

Tani collected her thoughts and tried to describe it: "Well, actually, it has been there before. It seems to be an 'eel', a 'multi-tailed sea snake', an 'octopus', or some other tentacled sea creature. But 'They' shouldn't be in this sea, and they seem to be following us now."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes suddenly froze.

Research has shown that the perception ability of marine creatures is actually very strong, and in some aspects it is even stronger than that of human perception professionals. When something strange comes to a sea area, the fish will know it immediately.

Tani didn't know what it was, but Suellen did.

As he listened to the description, he immediately realized that there were other mechanical octopuses on the bottom of the sea!

Su Lun asked: "How many of those things are there?"

Tani said: "At least dozens of them."

"So many?"

Su Lun listened, not only was he not worried, but his eyes were filled with joy.

The submarine didn't catch the "Frost Moon Princess"'s dowry. Is Archduke Raphael going to compensate him with some mechanical octopus?
