Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Sun Fei flicked his fingers repeatedly, and streaks of golden sword energy whistled through the sky, severing all the giant crimson tentacles in the blink of an eye. With a wave of his hand, he rescued all the sailors who had been swept away.
at the same time--
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!
A series of streaks of azure light shot down from the top of the main mast, like meteors falling into the sea. The terrifying azure beams of light deflected a large amount of seawater, as if a dozen or so depressions, each a meter in diameter, had suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and the azure light disappeared beneath the water.
The next instant, a series of mournful howls came from beneath the water.
The once calm sea surface was suddenly churned up with raging waves, as if some terrifying behemoth was struggling frantically beneath, stirring up towering waves. Then, streams of dark red blood-red waves rolled up from underwater, dyeing the seawater within a radius of a thousand meters crimson.
On deck, Lloris, the chief prisoner of the [ Light ], appeared, loudly rebuking the scattered and fleeing prisoners of war and commanding them to return to their posts. They worked hard to keep the [ Light ] from being capsized by the rolling waves, and with the prisoners' efforts, the warship finally began to stabilize.
At this moment, the churning seawater finally calmed down.
The enormous carcasses of five or six deep-sea monsters floated up from underwater and were exposed on the surface.
This was an enormous sea monster of astonishing size, its massive body, about a hundred meters long, made these corpses almost the size of the [ Light ]. Layers of viscous liquid writhed on its scarlet, glowing skin, making it look like an octopus magnified countless times. Each deep-sea behemoth had a giant mouth covered with countless layers of sharp teeth, and sixteen soft tentacles, each a hundred meters long. It was these tentacles that had almost dragged the sailors into the water and swallowed them whole.
These deep-sea behemoths are the most terrifying ship killers on land and sea. Every year, countless sea adventurers perish in the vast ocean because they are targeted by these behemoths.
Unfortunately, today they encountered Sun Fei and his group of 'land beasts'.
In the end, they were all instantly killed by Torres, the " Son of the Wind," with his unparalleled strength and amazing archery skills.
Torres leaped onto the floating corpse of the deep-sea behemoth, examined it carefully for a while, and seemed to have discovered something. He exclaimed in surprise, then jumped back after a moment, saying, "These behemoths don't seem to possess magical or Dou Qi power; they're not even considered magical beasts. They only possess terrifying physical strength due to their naturally enormous bodies. However, I discovered this on them..."
As he spoke, Torres shook the object he was holding.
They were several huge pieces of bronze-colored armor, seemingly soaked in water for years, covered with parasitic aquatic organisms and a layer of green algae. After removing these attachments, it was clear that these armor plates were artificially forged, with some simple patterns and barbs along the edges, presumably for embedding into the bodies of deep-sea behemoths.
"Are these sea creatures being kept by someone?" Sun Fei David curiously.
Who has the capability to raise such a behemoth?
Such a conjecture may seem a bit crazy, but the bronze armor plate in Torres's hand explains everything.
Sun Fei, along with Louis, Pato, Portland, and six other college students, boarded the floating carcass of the giant beast. After careful observation, they discovered that each deep-sea behemoth had thirty or forty such bronze armor plates distributed in a very regular pattern on vital parts of its body, excluding its enormous tentacles. This further indicated that these armor plates were definitely not naturally grown.
"This is not ordinary bronze material; it's Seahorse Copper, a metal that can only be found in the deep sea," one of the nine college students, a rugged-looking young man with slightly dark skin and thick black short hair, reported to Sun Fei with great certainty after carefully observing the material.
His name was Oscar, and he was considered an oddball among the college students in Chambord City.
Oscar disliked Dou Qi and martial arts from a young age, but was obsessed with alchemy and some strange theories. At the Chambord City Civil and Martial University, he studied two relatively obscure and unpopular courses: metal smelting and the history of magic derivatives. He had an outstanding talent in these fields and was appreciated by the blacksmith Charsi, Sister Amy, and Uncle Cain. He could be considered a little magic alchemy fanatic.
"This kind of Seahorse Copper can only be found in the deep sea. It is difficult for ordinary humans to dive to such depths. Moreover, it is said that only the flames in the sea can melt and forge Seahorse Copper. Ordinary land flames simply cannot melt it." Finally able to show his abilities in front of His Majesty the King, Oscar no longer had the mature face of a young man. He was extremely excited and spoke eloquently.
Oscar collected more than a dozen complete Seahorse Copper armor plates to experiment with some alchemical formulas. At the same time, it was also necessary to study the casting patterns on them, at least to deduce some clues.
After a delay of about an hour, the [ Light ] continued its slow advance.
Who knew that in the dead of night, a storm suddenly struck, with low, dark clouds covering the entire sky. Only streaks of silver lightning occasionally flashed across the sky, bringing a fleeting glimmer of light. Apart from that, everything was pitch black. In the end, the rain poured down from the sky in sheets, as if half of the sky had collapsed.
The Light finally faced the test of the power of heaven and earth.
This time, it was again the chief prisoner in the armor— Lyon —who stepped forward to meet King Lloris of Han. As one of the former commanders of the Lyon Navy, he was obviously used to such scenes. He calmly directed the other prisoners of war to take control of the warship, and finally, as dawn broke over the horizon, they weathered the sudden storm.
However, there were still casualties.
Six sailors were swept away by the towering waves and disappeared without a trace. Ten others were rescued in time by the great master Torres, but they were also seriously injured and temporarily unable to work. They had to be carried to the lower deck to recuperate.
The landlubbers of Chambord City finally witnessed the power of the sea.
After a night of turmoil, everyone was dizzy and disoriented. Although each of them was quite capable, they had all vomited up their bile and were unable to get out of bed. Among them, only Oscar seemed to be unaffected. While the other students were climbing to the ship's side to vomit bile, he was engrossed in studying the Seahorse Copper plates.
No one expected that, just before noon, the [ Light ] would be attacked by a deep-sea monster again.
This time, the number of giant beasts reached more than twenty. They suddenly attacked and almost capsized the [ Light ]. If Sun Fei hadn't suddenly intervened at the critical moment and killed more than ten deep-sea giant beasts in one move, the group would probably have had to swim to the Lyon Empire from the ocean.
This attack finally convinced everyone that it was definitely not a coincidence.
The [ Light ] is likely being targeted by some mysterious force in the ocean.
Second update.
