Setting Sail to Hunt Sea Soul Beasts
Moreover, because the Iron Armor contains the Blazing Heart Iron Essence sent by Quan Yi, the Soul Skill of the Sea Soul Beast will be weakened to some extent when they attack the ship's Ship Hull.
However, today is not the time for large ocean-going vessels to make their appearance.
At the dock, the four members of Quan Li's family gathered together.
Quan Li instructed Quan Yue, Su Ling'er was about to set sail, "This voyage is an experiment. You two should be careful not to interfere too much. Also, you must pay attention to safety, both for yourselves and for the other crew members."
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er nodded solemnly.
Then, the storage bracelet he was wearing lit up, and a shuttle-shaped, milky-white Soul Tool appeared in his hand.
Its shape is very similar to a boat. Although it is currently very small, the strong Energy Fluctuation it emits prove that this object is quite extraordinary.
This object is called the Dragon Abyss Boat. It is a powerful Soul Tool left over from ancient times. Its greatest function is to take people to dive into the sea, and the deepest dive can reach 300 meters.
Quan Yue raised the Dragon Abyss Boat in his hand and replied, "Don't worry, with it, I can quickly scout the situation underwater and provide rapid support."
Quan Li nodded and said, "Okay, be careful to stay away from the Soul Beast. If there is any abnormality, retreat immediately."
After the conversation, everyone looked at the clear, windless sky, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation.
Immediately afterwards, Quan Yue turned around and shouted to the departing fleet, "Set sail!"
After preparations, five medium-sized ocean-going vessels departed from the dock and sailed out to sea.
At the dock, Quan Li and Yun Qiong stood holding hands tightly, looking worried.
The fleet left the shore and sailed into the shallow waters. At first, they could still occasionally encounter scattered fleets, but as noon approached, there were no more ships around.
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er were on the lead ship, one holding Telescope to look around, and the other holding Sea Chart to determine their location.
After searching around, Quan Yue said, "There are no other fleets around."
Su Ling'er replied, "There is a reef area not far away, where some Soul Beast often take a short rest."
As they approached the area where the Soul Beast lived, all the crew members on the ship unconsciously gripped their rifles tighter.
The rifle is called Smokeless No. 1, and its bullets are Metal Cased Fixed Ammunition manufactured by Quan Yi using Smokeless Gunpowder.
Metal Cased Fixed Ammunition are the copper-yellow bullets commonly seen in movies.
It contains Gunpowder and a projectile, and is ignited by an impact primer.
Smokeless Gunpowder has a stronger explosive energy than Black Powder, therefore, its effective range can reach 400 meters, and its maximum range exceeds 2,000 meters.
Four hundred meters—most Soul King -level Spirit Master ' Soul Skill don't have such a long range.
Moreover, the projectile uses Spitzer Bullet, which is more penetrating than the previous Round Bullet. Within 400 meters, it can easily penetrate thin steel plates.
The crew could only barely remain calm by gripping the Smokeless No. 1 tightly.
In addition to the Smokeless No. 1, each of the ships had six giant Fishing Gun on its deck.
The Fishing Gun are fixed around the deck, with solid metal Gun Platform and Giant Javelin that are equipped with them. The javelins are slightly reddish and fluorescent, and their sharp tips exude an aura of extreme sharpness.
This Fishing Gun was a divine weapon specially designed by Quan Yi and Blacksmith Yuan to capture Sea Soul Beast. A long Hemp Rope was attached to the end of the gun.
The javelin is two meters long and, being forged entirely of metal, weighs a full 100 kilograms.
There are two types of Fishing Gun: one uses a mechanism that detonates Gunpowder to propel the gun, and the other uses a mechanism similar to a crossbow arrow, which is launched using elasticity.
Both have their advantages. The first type of javelin, detonated by Gunpowder, is more powerful than the second type. Experiments have shown that its effective range is 10 kilometers and its maximum range is 50 kilometers.
However, the amount of Gunpowder required is considerable, and it can only be fired a few times.
In contrast, the second method allows for countless shots as long as there are enough javelins.
Based on two mechanisms, the first Quan Yi was named the Fishing Cannon Gun, and the second one was named the Fishing Crossbow Gun.
Quan Yue carefully examined many details, and then said to Su Ling'er, "The command from above is now in your hands."
As he spoke, Quan Yue took out the Dragon Abyss Boat, infused it with his Soul Power, and in an instant, a beautifully crafted ship, twelve meters long, appeared in front of him.
Quan Yue, accompanied by eight strong men, descended onto the Dragon Abyss Boat via the descent rope at the bow.
After the Dragon Abyss Boat grew larger, its entire body appeared to be made of colorless and transparent crystal.
Opening the hatch revealed twelve seats inside.
Eight men entered one after another and sat in the eight seats at the back, skillfully gripping the oar handles on their sides.
Quan Yue waved to Su Ling'er one last time, then went into the cabin and closed the hatch.
Before long, the Dragon Abyss Boat slowly submerged into the seabed amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Once submerged, the Dragon Abyss Boat, like a dragon in the sea, roamed freely on the ocean floor.
Once aboard the submarine, the transparent material of the Dragon Abyss Boat allows for a clear view of everything around it.
Upon entering the seabed, the reefs that had previously caused headaches for many ships were now clearly visible. Quan Yue stood in front of the Crystal Ball at the front of the cabin, reached out and touched it, channeling his Soul Power into it.
Proceed into the interior of the reef.
On the sea, Su Ling'er held Megaphone and gave loud instructions.
"Everyone get ready, the Sea Soul Beast will appear soon. When that happens, proceed according to plan."
After Su Ling'er issued the order, the crew members on deck went to their respective positions and used long chain buckles to attach themselves to the fixed hooks on the deck.
Then, he aimed his gun at the calm sea.
Besides these crew members, those operating the Fishing Gun bore an even greater burden.
They kept a constant watch for danger on the sea through the scope on their Fishing Gun.
After the Sea Soul Beast appear, they become the biggest support. Reloading takes time. If they cannot successfully hit the Sea Soul Beast within thirty shots, reloading will take about half a minute.
At this time, their Ship Hull is likely to be hit by Soul Beast.
By then, the success rate of capture will not only decrease significantly, but the probability of capsizing will also increase.
Half an hour passed, and the sea remained calm.
However, the perceptive Su Ling'er sensed a rapidly approaching Energy Fluctuation from ahead.
She immediately shouted, "Everyone be on alert one kilometer ahead!"
Upon hearing this, the messenger immediately waved his flag and relayed the order to all the ships.
The Fishing Gun positioned at the bow of the boat was immediately aimed forward; the entire process was orderly, solemn, and dignified.
The results of two years of training will be officially announced later.
Although the crew members were filled with fear, they also secretly hoped for something.
It should be noted that the spoils of this capture will be prioritized for their children.
These fathers displayed tremendous willpower for the sake of their children.
Su Ling'er stared at the sea surface half a kilometer away; the Energy Fluctuation were already very close.
In her perception, besides the familiar aura of the Dragon Abyss Boat, there was also a slightly stronger Soul Power Fluctuation.
The next moment, a transparent ship emitting white fluorescence leaped out of the sea.
Closely following behind was a gray-white figure.
A large seal with horns on its head metaphorically reveals its form.
Su Ling'er shouted, "They're out!"
The fleet immediately retreated and formed a circular formation.
