Upon hearing Qin Ze's order, the sailors eagerly took their positions.
They'd been wanting to hear a bang and see the power of this old man's cannon for ages.
The sailors slowly raised the cannon muzzle and quickly completed the loading.
Qin Ze waved his hand and shouted, "Fire!"
boom--
At a command, all 110 rune cannons on the three gun decks fired simultaneously, creating a dense barrage of bullets on both sides of the ship.
Hordes of strange beasts surged out from the sea above, crashing into the barrage of bullets, and were instantly torn into clouds of blood mist and minced flesh.
Qin Ze nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
The power of the cannon on the ship was indeed beyond his expectations.
Zi Yue, standing to the side, opened her beautiful eyes wide.
She never imagined that this ship, which could already be displayed in a museum, would have such powerful cannons.
Moreover, judging from Qin Ze's demeanor, it seems that he intended to use it this way from the very beginning and didn't plan to keep it as a keepsake.
Boom boom boom--
The Flying Circus Man flew at high speed while continuously firing cannons.
The strange beasts of the sea charged forward one after another, but none of them were able to break through the defenses.
The white sails were now stained a striking dark red with the blood of the strange beast.
The deck was covered with a layer of sticky, mushy bits of meat, emitting a strong, foul stench.
Qin Ze frowned.
Something's not right about these strange beasts.
They all look like marine creatures, but their bodies are highly decomposed.
The old man's cannon was powerful, which was one aspect.
On the other hand, the physical bodies of these strange beasts are inherently fragile.
Even during the running and charging procession, his internal organs and rotting flesh were falling off.
"We're almost out of ammunition!"
Before Qin Ze could think further, bad news came from the artillery deck.
The shells were included when I bought them, and there weren't many.
After that "free-for-all" approach, there are very few left.
"Aren't there still quite a few Entropy Stone in the hold?"
"That thing is powerful!"
A sailor made a suggestion.
Qin Ze refused without hesitation.
Using Entropy Stone as cannonballs would likely result in the Entropy Stone exploding inside the cannon barrel before they could even be fired.
With the power of entropy, it can directly puncture a large hole in the hull.
The observer on the mast suddenly exclaimed, "There's a small island ahead!"
island?
Qin Ze used the Vermilion Bird Step to rise into the air, level with the mast.
Following the direction the observer was pointing, he indeed saw an island.
Above the island is a blue sky, and it is surrounded by sea for several kilometers.
In this Chaos land, the rules of that small island were still normal.
"Go to that island!"
At Qin Ze's command, the cattle and horses in the lowest cabin once again kicked sparks from their stirrups.
The Flying Circus Man increased its speed, heading straight towards the sea.
The artillery, firing at full power, suddenly went silent; all the shells had been used up.
Without the obstruction of the barrage of bullets, the monster pounced forward instantly.
Qin Ze unleashed several lightning whips, weaving an impenetrable "lightning net" along the side of the ship, instantly scorching the attacking beasts to a crisp.
The Dharma King immediately filled the vacancy on the other side.
Zi Liangchen's eyes turned silver-white, and with a single punch, he shattered space. Countless spatial fragments surrounded the ship, cutting the alien beast into several pieces.
The Flying Circus Man carved a path through the horde of beasts.
Bang bang bang--
The ship suddenly rocked violently a few times, followed by several muffled thuds from behind, and its speed decreased accordingly.
Qin Ze looked towards the stern and saw a giant octopus, more than ten meters long, crawl aboard.
The rapidly spinning propeller shredded half of its body, spraying rotten flesh and dark red blood everywhere.
The propeller was also damaged, affecting the boat's speed.
Whew~
Qin Ze was surrounded by blue flames as he unleashed a Fire Movement Technique at the giant octopus.
Amidst cries of agony, the giant octopus released its grip on the ship, transforming into a massive blue fireball that plummeted to the ground.
At the same time, a barely perceptible ripple stirred within Qin Ze's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
He was momentarily stunned.
The scream of that giant octopus just now actually contained a mental attack?
The stern was a defensive no-man's land, so Qin Ze simply stood there.
Golden lightning surged from his entire body, blocking all the charging beasts.
These strange beasts are generally not very strong; apart from the giant octopus from earlier, the rest are all at the E to F level.
Even in front of ordinary clones, they are nothing more than "experience points minions".
It's just a stone's throw from the sea where the small island is located.
The bow of the Flying Circus Man boat is tilting downwards.
Even without the propeller, the sails are still working.
Qin Ze threw a handful of Five Elements Talisman that Brother Yuanzi had given him into the air.
As the talisman was activated, gusts of wind swept above the Flying Circus Man.
The mainsail was billowing in the air, and the Flying Circus Man's speed increased by at least two times.
Like an arrow released from a bow, it hurtled towards the ocean at breakneck speed.
Splash--
With the ship shaking violently and waves several meters high splashing up from both sides, the Flying Circus Man finally floated on the blue sea.
The ferocious beasts chasing them from behind all stopped.
This sea area seemed to possess some kind of power that made them wary, preventing them from venturing further.
The dark horde of beasts stopped outside the sea, swimming in the sky and roaring at Qin Ze and his companions.
After a short while, most of the strange beasts retreated and returned to the sea in the sky.
However, some of the strange beasts still lingered outside, unwilling to give up.
Qin Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
The terror of the beast tide lies not in the individual strength of the beasts within it, but in its endless stream.
Humans eventually run out of energy, but a beast tide never does.
The beasts will "crash" like waves until they tear the Flying Circus Man to pieces.
Now, we've finally gotten rid of these guys for the time being.
The Flying Circus Man glide smoothly across the sea.
Powered by the wind, they slowly approached the island.
"Clean the deck."
Qin Ze simply couldn't stand the stench on the ship.
Since the propellers were all broken anyway, the engines in the engine room could be put to good use.
Qin Ze stood at the stern, gazing at the place where the sea met the gray fog.
A closer look reveals that the seawater is being gradually eroded by the gray fog, albeit at an extremely slow pace.
Qin Ze looked up at the vast ocean in the sky.
So, is this the reason for the formation of that suspended sea?
Back on the deck, Qin Ze saw the girl assisting the clones with the cleaning work.
She raised her hand and fired bursts of water cannons, which immediately cleared an area on the deck.
"Is this the Land of Origin?"
Qin Ze walked to Zi Yue's side and asked.
The girl shook her head, then looked at the island. "I'm not sure either, but it's highly likely."
"This is also an ancient land, and like the Ancient Battlefield, it is a remnant of the era of the gods."
"The ancient lands were almost all dead zones; places like this, where life still exists, are very rare."
Qin Ze said calmly, "That would be best."
Let me see how white the Goddess of Life is.
"How can there be so many strange beasts!"
The blonde woman cursed and swore, her body radiating brilliant light, Annihilation any approaching beasts.
The Cloud Clan murmured to himself, "An ancient space where strange beasts exist is quite rare."
Immediately, he looked at the white contrails left by the Flying Circus Man performers not far away.
"Let's go see what other surprises they have in store for us."
