Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 523: Abyssal monster
Although there is information that the two groups of pirates, the King of the West Sea and the King of the South Sea, set out for the extreme western waters more than half a month ago.
Su Lun was not too surprised by the news.
That [One-Eyed Hanged Man] card has been circulated in the hands of many collectors, and the hidden information on it may not be deciphered by anyone.
Pirates rely on the sea for their livelihood, and they already have some wilder sea maps than the Luying Royal Cartography Museum. In particular, pirates like to collect treasure maps. Putting together various ancient treasure maps, it may not be impossible to roughly understand the area of Dragon Kingdom.
Then there are divination, prophecy, etc.
Since the gods in the Celestial Plane know that [Fountain of Mimir] is in the Broken Alchemy Plane, they are really determined to find it, and there are many ways to find it.
But Su Lun and the others were not in a hurry to pursue them.
The Dawn Group has a copy of [Black Sam's World Chart] in their hands, and they know very well that the route is not that easy to follow.
Furthermore, the maximum speed of the Evernight is several times that of an ordinary sailboat, so even if it sets off late, it is still possible to catch up.
It would be nice to have someone go to that dangerous route for them to check for mines first.
More importantly, there is an "eyesighter" from the Dawn Regiment in the South China Sea Fleet.
On this day, Su Lun was meditating in the cabin, and the communicator suddenly rang.
"Oh, Su Lun, you must be careful when approaching the Nightmare Sea. This sea not only has chaotic storms all year round, but there are also super terrifying deep-sea giant monsters hidden in the sea. God, no one expected there to be so many, It was densely packed with people from the South China Sea Fleet. Those guys suffered heavy casualties, and more than 70% of the warships were lost. If it weren’t for good luck, and the eighth-level holy army, I was afraid that I would have been buried in the belly of the shark last night, including the people and the ship. ”
"The Crusader? Are you sure that's what it's called?"
"Yes, that's what the deputy captain said. I didn't know there was this person in the fleet before, but I met the eighth-order 'overlord-level' dragon shark that was bigger than a mountain. That guy took action. The sea monster was destroyed with a lightning strike that burned the sea water. The fleet may not be able to pass through this sea area."
"Senior Kit, please be careful. The magicians of the Crusaders are very powerful and usually have some special abilities. Be sure not to be discovered."
"Oh, of course. My disguise is not that easy to reveal. But if you follow, remember to be careful, I have left marks along the way."
"Okay, be careful too."
"."
Yes, the spy of the Dawn Regiment is Kit.
Those people in the plane of gods know that the [One-Eyed Hanged Man] tarot cards and the Mirror Library are related to him, so they have been looking for him.
Now the black market is full of reward orders for this guy. Su Lun originally asked him to hide in the group, but this guy can't stay idle.
The top members of the Thieves Guild are no longer ordinary thieves, but a group of adventurous and chivalrous guys.
Now that the plane is being invaded, everyone is taking active actions to collect information about the invaders everywhere.
Kit has also become famous since he completed the "Ultimate Challenge" by stealing the collection of the Luying Royal Library in Linton last time.
He was wanted everywhere, so he went against the grain and infiltrated the South China Sea Fleet, which was absorbed by the Celestial Clan.
Then we sailed along.
I just happened to have an eyeliner for Li Ming.
After finishing the communication, Su Lun frowned and fell into thought.
The route is dangerous as expected.
What he didn't expect was that among the group of people hunting for treasure in the West Sea, there was actually an eighth-level Crusader? This is a combat power that is not even available in the magic tower of the plane passage.
"Now it seems that the gods of the Celestial Clan value the search for [Mimir's Fountain] even more than plane invasion."
Su Lun was confused.
Although "King of the Western Sea" Moloch Poppen and "King of the South Sea" William Kidd are both eighth-level professionals, there are also many sixth- and seventh-level masters in their fleets.
But the once powerless pirate group no longer poses much of a threat to Dawn.
As for the number of people, it means nothing to Su Lun.
What he cares more about are the magicians from the celestial plane hidden in the fleet.
The two big pirate groups of the West China Sea and the South China Sea set off more than half a month earlier than the Dawn Group.
But Su Lun and the others had accurate route maps and took many shortcuts. Back then, "One Piece" Black Sam had drawn some unknown routes, which also allowed them to bypass some unnecessary dangerous areas.
The Yongye chased all the way, and the distance became shorter and shorter.
When Kit's communication was heard, the Evernight was only three to five days' voyage away from those pirate fleets.
Two days later, Su Lun suddenly opened his eyes from meditation.
The sound of lightning, thunder and violent waves suddenly came to my ears. It was so subtle that it felt very far away.
He also stood up and walked out of the cabin.
When they arrived on the deck, the seventh-level combatants from the regiment, including Senjo, Barrett, and "Blood Duke" Wordsworth, were already on the deck.
In the communicator, Tani was commanding loudly: "Everyone, be careful, we are about to enter the 'Black Sea of Eternal Night'! The sail controller is in place!"
In the distance, there is a dark thundercloud.
This is the high-risk sea area marked on Black Sam's world chart - the Black Sea of Evernight.
Because this sea area is subject to dense thunderstorms all year round, there is little sunlight even during the day, and it feels like eternal night.
But this is the only way to the Dragon Kingdom.
This is the extremely dangerous sea area that Kit said before, causing the two pirate groups to lose 60 to 70% of their battleships.
Because they followed the mark left by Kit and sailed all the way, broken boards and oak barrels can be seen everywhere on the sea. These are all fragments of the pirate ship that was smashed a few days ago. Occasionally, you can see one or two corpses that have been soaked in water and turned white, and have been eaten to pieces by sea fish.
Looking at the debris and corpses on the sea, everyone looked solemn.
The road that has been traveled by others is always better.
The Dawn Group also chose to take the same route.
At least in the marine life chain, the number of overlord-level sea monsters in a region is limited. The overlord-level dragon shark that almost destroyed the South China Sea Fleet had been killed. If they passed this route, they would most likely not encounter an eighth-order overlord-level deep-sea monster again.
Not long after, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
The ship has sailed into the thundercloud with no end in sight.
Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and large raindrops hit the ship like bullets, crackling.
The waves undulated violently, and everyone felt like they were riding a roller coaster, feeling the sense of weightlessness that was extremely stimulating to the senses.
With a hull of more than 300 meters, the "Eternal Night Emperor" is already the largest sail warship in the world. It can ride on those giant waves, like a leaf on the water, and may be knocked over at any time. .
Everything in this dangerous sea seems so huge.
The dark clouds are so low that they look huge, the waves are huge, and the monsters in the sea are also huge!
The Eternal Night lights up, like the only lit star in the dark sea.
The scent of humans on the ship also attracts sea beasts within a hundred miles.
After traveling for about ten nautical miles, Tani in the cockpit noticed something and suddenly said: "Everyone, be careful, the fish in the water said that there are many big guys swimming towards us!"
Hearing this, everyone in Su Lun on the deck showed their high-spirited fighting spirit.
I have been mentally prepared for a long time, and I am not afraid of a fierce battle.
The two pirate groups in the West China Sea and the South China Sea suffered heavy losses in this sea area and were almost wiped out.
That doesn’t mean they can’t pass the Dawn Team.
Tani has the ability to control waves and listen to the sounds of sea beasts. With him as a navigator, the threat of the ocean will be reduced by half.
As for fighting, there are others.
Su Lun held the black crow on his shoulder, and the black sickle in his hand was shining. He had already felt the guys coming from the sea after smelling the smell, and murmured: "There are quite a few."
Beside her, Qianzhi hands were placed on her waist. Looking at the lightning and thunder in the distance, her eyes flashed coldly: "Tsk, tsk. I need to improve my food these days."
Barrett also rubbed his silver arm and smiled indifferently: "Yes. There are no such dense sea monsters in other seas."
"Blood Duke" Wordsworth has changed into a demon form, and the wings behind him have changed. The old vampire's laughter is always captivating, "Jiejie, the blood of the high-level siren is a great supplement. Give me more, and I may still have hope of advancing my old bones to the eighth level."
On this voyage, almost all the masters from the Dawn Regiment arrived.
Having discovered that the Kraken is coming, their high-end combat power has already been unleashed.
Even though the hull of the ship was heaving violently, their legs seemed to be welded to the deck and remained motionless.
What's even weirder is that the raindrops fell one foot away from their bodies and were isolated by an invisible field.
The other members of the Dawn Group on the deck looked at the picture of the group, feeling inexplicably shocked and suddenly bursting with courage.
Everyone shouted and prepared for battle.
In the control room, Dora also saw all this.
Throughout these days together, she found that the Dawn Group was a very cohesive team.
This is simply not comparable to any ordinary pirate group.
So even though she was sailing into such extremely dangerous waters, she felt an inexplicable confidence in her heart, as if all difficulties would be solved.
On weekdays, the Dawn Group actually hunts sea beasts for food, so they don't panic at all when they are attacked by sea monsters.
The harpoon, the steel rope net, the winch hook lock. Everything is ready.
The ship has recently been equipped with a lot of steam-powered mechanical equipment, so hunting large sea beasts is not a big problem.
Not long after, the first wave of monsters came.
What came was a group of sea crabs.
The observer suddenly shouted: "Everyone, be careful, the monster has boarded the ship!"
Click, click, click.
The dense touch and crisp sound are completely different from raindrops.
Outside the hull, densely packed crabs suddenly crawled up from the sea.
Each crab is several meters in size, and one pincer is larger than a human being.
Everyone in the Dawn Group chose to attack as soon as they discovered it. On the side of the ship, everyone raised their guns and fired.
After trying the strength, the alchemy bullet can kill someone, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Oh, what a big crab! I have never eaten such a big crab in my life"
"Hahaha, if you buy these crabs at the seafood market, I'm afraid one head will cost tens of thousands."
"Let those big crabs come up, otherwise they will fall into the sea and you will lose all your bullets and money."
"."
Even if Su Lun and the others didn't take action, everyone in the Dawn Regiment wouldn't have much trouble dealing with it.
After the plane channel is established, it becomes easier to advance. The Dawn Group does not lack resources and various training books. As long as they are willing to practice hard, any alchemist with a little talent can advance to the fourth level.
A group of people put crabs on the deck and hacked them in various ways.
The crab carcasses slide directly into the storage room. After processing, they will become food for everyone in the future.
High-level professionals consume a lot of food every day. This high-quality protein is also an excellent ingredient for strengthening the body.
The minions killed a lot of people, and not long after, someone shouted loudly: "Captain, a big guy has appeared in the sea!"
Everyone suddenly felt that the hull of the ship was tilting to one side, and it was obvious that someone big had climbed up.
Not long after, a giant green crab with a body length of 100 meters climbed onto the deck arrogantly, waving its giant claws ferociously.
Fortunately, the Evernight is big enough and hard enough. If it were an ordinary pirate ship, the crab would probably be able to break the hull into pieces with just a few pincers.
Su Lun took a look and identified some information, but then said softly: "Titan bloodline?"
[Titan Armored Crab King (Gold)]
Detailed explanation: The fifth-level golden deep-sea monster has a trace of Titan blood, giving it super armor and strength.
The fifth-level sea monster is not too much of a threat.
In contrast, Suellen was more curious about why this creature existed.
Before they came, they knew that there were many huge sea monsters in this sea area.
But why are the sea monsters in this sea area generally many times larger than those in the Luying offshore area?
Even if Dr. Banks heard that there were densely populated super-sized monsters in this sea, he rarely came out of the laboratory in the Small Void Realm and planned to take samples for study.
The Eye of Omniscient allowed Su Lun to directly identify the source of the bloodline, and he introduced a few words casually.
"The Titans in mythology?"
Dr. Banks listened beside him, pondered for a moment, and guessed: "It is difficult to determine the cause of this marine ecosystem in individual cases. But the gene chain of the 'Titan Bloodline' does have the ability to make living things huge. Sex gene. If other sea monsters in this sea area also have this bloodline, they are almost certainly descendants of highly pure-blooded Titan creatures from an ancient era, or there are fallen gods that have polluted the sea area. I need to collect some Samples may be able to extract the gene chain of Titan's bloodline and make blood medicine."
"Yeah."
Su Lun also listened thoughtfully.
No matter which one it is, it is certain that there are some ancient secrets hidden in this sea area.
This King Crab climbed onto the deck and was very arrogant.
Even if the alchemy bullet hits the green armor, it will only produce sparks.
Not only is its defense and strength amazing, but it also spits out acid bubbles that can corrode ordinary swords into rust. There was a sour smell like ammonia in the air.
The huge size and mythical bloodline add additional combat power. This green crab has far exceeded the combat power of ordinary sixth-level golden monsters.
Lolota and several members of the Dawn Team carried the blue crab, and their fighting power was quite good. The sword energy also cut many cracks in the iron-hard blue crab shell, but it was not fatal in a short period of time.
This giant crab is still smashing all kinds of things on the boat with its big pincers.
Senjou watched from the side and took the knife from his waist out of the sheath with his thumb, saying, "You have to kill it. Otherwise, this big guy will damage the ship."
To deal with this kind of heavily armored monster, she is the perfect sword master.
As soon as he heard the words, a thunderous sword energy was already slashed out.
Looking again, Senjou had already put the sword into its scabbard.
And the green crab in the distance had split into two with a "swish" sound, and its blue blood had flowed all over the floor, and it could no longer die.
The sword energy was controlled very precisely, and it only killed the blue crab without leaving any traces of spots on the deck.
Everyone's eyes were wide open with this sword, and they all sighed.
After Senjou advanced to the seventh level, apart from Mr. Mirror, no one had seen her take action.
Just this one sword made Su Lun's scalp numb and he sighed: "You are so strong, Sister Qiantiao."
Even an old vampire like "Blood Duke" Wordsworth, who has lived for hundreds of years, was very moved when he saw it.
Barrett made no secret of his admiration: "Captain Senjo's sword energy is so sharp. No one in the seventh level can take this sword with force."
Lolota in the distance also had stars in her eyes: "Wow, teacher is so awesome!"
Qianjou shrugged nonchalantly, as if he just slashed out the sword casually.
After the first blow, the aura accumulated in her body became stronger and stronger.
Qianjo killed the gold-level blue crab king with one sword, and the other crabs fled on their own, disappearing into the sea in a blink of an eye.
Thousands of crab carcasses were left on the deck, and everyone shouted to collect the carcasses.
The heavy rain quickly washed away the deck, and the blood and fleshy remains of the remaining limbs were washed away.
After a moment of relaxation, everyone was on alert again.
Because this is just an appetizer.
They have just entered the outskirts of this "Eternal Night Black Sea", and the sea beasts are not too ferocious yet. The deeper you go, the bigger the monsters will be and their rank will be higher and higher.
And they still have to sail in this dark sea for at least two days and two nights.
After the big blue crab, you will encounter a large wave of deep-sea monsters almost every ten or so sea miles.
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment fought all the way, and the battle almost never stopped.
Gradually, the frequency of encountering giant sea monsters is getting higher and higher, the size is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting more and more troublesome.
After sailing for a day, they arrived at the center of the Black Sea, where there were patches of giant marine life. Even shrimp-level fish have the fighting power of first- and second-level professionals.
Silver level, gold level, lord level
The sea here seems to be bottomless, and sea monsters gather together.
There have even been monsters with a body length of one thousand meters.
This is because of Tani, they have avoided some troubles of group destruction.
He can sense the existence that makes people in the sea feel "particularly dangerous" far in advance, and then control the sailboat to avoid it.
[Titan Lantern Fish], [Dragon Scale Ice Crocodile], [Flame Spear Shrimp], [Titan Three-Headed Corroded Black Eel], [Lightning Dragon Tail Ray].
Su Lun's appraisal also found a pattern. Most of the big guys are creatures with "Titan blood" or "Dragon blood".
Dr. Banks also collected a large number of biological samples.
Giant dragons are sexually promiscuous and like to have **** with all kinds of creatures. It is reasonable for there to be monsters with dragon blood in the sea for countless years.
But they are curious, where does the Titan blood come from?
It seems that for this reason, the creatures in this sea area generally become huge.
On the second day after entering the Black Sea, everyone in the Dawn Regiment was already exhausted from the killing.
Even if this route was traveled by the two fleets in the West China Sea and South China Sea before, it was not an easy journey for them.
The high-level combatants rested and took turns to kill the giant monsters of the deep sea, so that they could protect themselves.
Fortunately, the Dawn Regiment has the best sailboats, the best navigators, and a lot of high-level combatants. There is also Su Lun, a perpetual motion machine whose combat power is as strong as that of an entire legion, and the mechanically invincible No. 19.
As the Dawn Regiment’s current powerful configuration is so dangerous, it is not surprising that the previous two pirate fleets lost more than 70% of their fleets.
However, along with the crisis, there are also many gains.
All kinds of super huge monster meat are stored, not just food, these are high-grade materials with extraordinary properties.
The vitality of these dragon-born sirens and titan sirens is very strong, much stronger than ordinary high-level monsters.
This is a rare nutrient. Su Lun also used [Blood Devour] to devour it all the way, and his body strength and muscles increased greatly again.
This is a big improvement that has not been seen for a long time since the last Linton disaster.
And "Blood Duke" Wordsworth and the group of vampires he led also had a great time. The special physique of the vampires allowed them to absorb elements from the blood of alien creatures to strengthen themselves. Many of them had breakthroughs. sign.
Occasionally, there are various rare treasures in the belly of the sea monster, and even an ancient shipwreck was found in the belly of a thousand-meter-long fish.
In the end, the rewards are completely proportional to the risks.
They got a huge harvest before their group was destroyed in the Black Sea.
Finally, on the early morning of the third day, Su Lun and the others saw the sun shining through the clouds on the horizon.
They finally walked out of this dark sea of eternal night.
"Wow~ we finally came out!"
"I can finally take a break. Oh, the smell of sea monster blood is almost soaked in my body."
"Hahahaha."
When the sun shone on the sailboat again, brilliant laughter erupted on the deck.
This is where the edge of the [World Sea Map] drawn by Pirate King Black Sam comes to.
After two days and two nights of hard fighting, most of the people were tired and leaning on various parts of the deck.
Although tired, everyone's eyes were still shining with excitement.
They completed an adventure that most navigators would never complete in a lifetime, and entered a new sea area - the Kingdom of Dragons.
This is also the reason why Su Lun did not choose to teleport directly before.
Adventure, harvest, and discovery of new routes are the most important meanings of sailing.
The members also need this kind of battle and training, and they need to be tempered in adversity.
The weather is sunny today, the waves are calm, and visibility is high.
Some lush islands finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.
Su Lun teleported into the sky and overlooked all the nearby islands.
After identifying the reference object, he immediately confirmed that this was the edge of the [Dragon Kingdom Sea Area Map]!
"This is really it!"
Su Lun was delighted.
He landed on the deck and pointed out the location on the map to Tani.
This is Tani's professional navigator, and this is also his hometown.
This is an extremely dangerous sea area where giant dragons, Cyclops, and Gorgons can destroy the pirate king Black Sam.
Su Lun didn't dare to be careless.
It is not a good choice to rush into it.
If possible, he would like to find some clues first.
For example: Looking for Tani’s tribe, the Naga tribe, may be able to get some information help.
However, the two pirate fleets of the West Sea and the South China Sea arrived in the waters of the Kingdom of Dragon two or three days in advance.
Kit is also always paying attention to the movements of the Dawn Group.
Not long after they came out, a new communication came from over there: "Oh, Su Lun, you came out safely? There is a new situation here. Now I am with the people from the South China Sea Fleet. They settled on an island. An ancient ruin was discovered here, which seems to mean that someone found a colorful well. Now there are five magicians in the group, and they don’t know what they are doing just staying in the cabin. It seems like Casting a spell"
When Su Lun heard this, he knew this arrangement was familiar, and quickly responded: "Leave quickly! Those guys are going to sacrifice you!"
On the other end of the communicator, Kit screamed: "What? Fuck!"
