The pursuit of the three golden monsters behind me was like maggots attached to bones, and the shadow of death followed closely.
Where its thick plate armor scales had just been rubbed by the aftermath of Gravity Beam, there were bursts of burning pain and numbness, reminding it of what would happen if it was hit directly.
"Left! Get into that crack! Quick!"
Tormund roared, pointing his finger in front of two cliffs that were almost closing together.
There is a deep and tortuous entrance to the crack eroded by the sea water. The width is only slightly wider than the wingspan of "Raging Waves". The light inside is dim and the rocks are jagged.
This is their last hope!
"Raging Wave" roared with all its strength, folded its wings suddenly, and forced its huge body into the narrow crack in an almost twisted posture!
The rough rock wall scraped against the scales on its flanks, making a tooth-piercing friction sound, but it finally managed to get in and disappeared into the shadows deep in the crack.
Almost the next second it sank into the crack, a thick golden beam of light struck the rock wall above the entrance of the crack!
"Boom--!!!"
The entire cliff shook violently, and large chunks of rock collapsed and fell, making an ear-splitting roar. The entrance to the crack was instantly covered by less than half, and the sky was filled with smoke, dust, and mist.
But in the end, it failed to directly hit Hai Long who escaped into it.
King Ghidorah's huge body was suspended above the sea outside the crack, with three heads hanging low, and six eyes burning with golden flames staring intently at the deep crack that was partially blocked by falling rocks and led to an unknown place.
It roared angrily and unwillingly, and the sound waves shook the surrounding sea.
Although Gravity Beam is powerful, it is difficult to directly attack to the depths in such an extremely narrow, tortuous and heavily protected terrain.
It tried to use its other two heads to eject rays and bombard the rock walls on both sides of the crack, trying to expand the entrance or trigger a larger collapse, but the effect was limited.
The rock in this area seems to be extremely hard and has a complex structure. Although King Ghidorah's attack caused damage, it failed to completely open or completely collapse the passage.
The fleet that Redd belongs to has rushed to the nearby waters, but faced with such a complex and dangerous terrain and the dilapidated scene after the two giant dragons were raging, the ships were unable to get close at all.
Everyone was stunned by the devastating attack just now, and their eyes looking at the three golden dragons in the sky were filled with unprecedented awe and fear.
Corlys is on "Sea Snake" in the distance, his face as pale as paper.
Tormund's brazen attack completely exceeded his plan, and the terrifying power displayed by King Ghidorah made him terrified.
The anger of that giant eastern dragon is so terrifying!
Now Tormund has temporarily hid in the crack, but... how long can he hide? Will the three-headed dragon give up?
Redd stood on the bow of the ship, looking at King Ghidorah and the partially buried crack in the distance, with no expression on his face.
Tormund's death struggle and King Ghidorah's rage were both expected by him.
He conveyed new instructions to King Ghidorah through his mind: stop the meaningless bombardment, maintain high-altitude surveillance, block all possible exits in this area, and at the same time...
Carefully sense the flow of energy deep in cracks and under the sea.
He did not believe that Tormund would sit still and wait for death. The crack probably had an underwater exit or was connected to other passages.
"Send the order," Redd ordered the generals around him, his voice calm but with unquestionable strength, "The fleet is dispersed and all major waterways and open sea areas between Gray Gallows Island and Big Tooth Reef are blocked.
Send out all small boats, carrying deep-water detection equipment and warriors who are good at diving, to search all nearby underwater caves and crack exits.
If you find any abnormality, report it immediately and no unauthorized entry is allowed."
He looked at Mysaria again. "Inform our people at Dragonstone and Braavos to mobilize more people and tools who are good at underwater operations and exploration.
Also, ask Citadel (through our connections) to find all records of Stepstones's geological formations, undersea cave systems, and... possible connections to ancient magic or geothermal anomalies."
He wants to completely trap Tormund and his sea dragon in this sea area, or... force them out.
Tormund's risky attack not only failed to solve the problem, but completely angered his most terrifying opponent and put him in a desperate situation.
Now, he is hiding deep in the dark crevice, outside is the furious King Ghidorah and the tightening siege net.
And how long can the familiarity with the terrain he relies on last in the face of the opponent's absolute power and the upcoming systematic search?
The fog on Gray Gallows Island seemed to be getting thicker, but this time, it was no longer just water vapor that filled the air, but also the strong smell of blood and despair.
When Daemon drove "Caraxes" back, what he saw was that King Ghidorah had stopped bombarding, but was still suspended outside the entrance to the crack like a golden mountain, with its six eyes locked on the scene deep in the darkness like searchlights.
The mixed smell of gunpowder smoke, steam and rock dust floated on the sea. Several smaller reef islands around were obviously destroyed or seriously damaged. They were in a mess, silently telling the story of the short but terrifying pursuit just now.
After listening to the soldier's brief report, Daemon's face was so gloomy that he could almost shed water.
I was fooled! I was tricked by Corlys and that pirate ally!
They didn't flee south at all. Instead, they kept hiding under their noses and even had the audacity to try to sneak attack Redd!
And I was pushed away like a fool and ran south!
He looked at the deep and narrow crack that was half covered by falling rocks, then looked up at the King Ghidorah that exuded an invisible sense of oppression in the air, and finally cast his sinister gaze at the Corlys on the flagship of the Driftmark fleet not far away.
Anger burned in his chest, but more of it was the shame of being fooled and the growing greed for that sea dragon.
"Corlys!" Daemon drove "Caraxes" to fly close to "Sea Snake", his voice hoarse from anger, "Hello! You are really my good father-in-law!"
Is this what you mean by 'finding underwater movement'? Is this the result of your separate searches?
Tormund and that strange dragon never left! Do you still want to help him cover?"
Corlys stood on the bridge, facing the accusations from Daemon, complaining in his heart, but on his face he had to maintain his composure and the anger of "being wronged":
"Daemon! What are you talking about! I just learned about the attack from Lord Redd!
I have no idea what that crazy pirate did!
The previous discovery of underwater anomalies was a reward from my soldiers. As Master of Ships, I naturally have to be cautious in checking!
Who would have thought that he would dare to be so frantic and attack Master Redd?
This is clearly because he jumped over the wall in a hurry, and it also proves that he was indeed injured and trapped, with nowhere to escape, so he took the risk!"
