Chapter 289: Night in the Outer Sea
The sunset is slowly falling, and the moment when half of the red sun falls into the sea is very spectacular. At this time, the red sun is particularly strong, and patches of sunset glow rise from the sea and connect with the sea. The undulating sea blends with the layered sunset glow in the distance, making it difficult to distinguish the sky from the sea.
The three bigwigs of the transformation stage stood side by side at the stern of the ship, feeling the unprecedented magnificence.
It's not that they haven't seen the sunset on the sea, but it's the first time they stand on the steel battleship and observe the sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun coated the steel battleship with a layer of iron-blooded brilliance.
But under this beautiful light, the sea is not silent. In the sea water, sea monsters appear from time to time, observe this steel monster that suddenly sailed into the sea.
As night fell, on the vast sea, a steel battleship was sprinting at high speed. After activating the water-dispelling formation, the battleship galloped at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, and occasionally some monsters blocking in front of the battleship were directly knocked away.
So far, there is no sea monster that can stop this giant steel ship. The fully loaded giant ship weighs more than 4,000 tons. At a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, the instantaneous impact force exceeds 400,000 tons; even considering seawater resistance and prolonged impact time, the impact force is no less than 100,000 tons.
Spells are powerful, but if pure physical kinetic energy is released, it is another kind of spell.
The sea at night is very active. Standing on the deck, you can hear the sound of giant steel ships colliding from time to time. There are always some sea monsters who want to compete with this huge giant ship. Of course, it doesn't rule out that some sea monsters are still stupid and don't notice this huge ship at all.
On the green sea of death, these sea monsters probably don't even know what a ship is. But the first time they saw a ship, it left an indelible impression that lasted a lifetime.
The giant ship cut through the water, but finally encountered obstacles.
In the middle of the night, the waves in front suddenly surged, forming a mountain with a height of hundreds of meters to block the front.
A figure like a mountain stands proudly above the 'mountain'. It was a hemispherical figure, with eight arms waving wildly around it. Under the night with only the waning moon, the black shadow is hazy and huge, and the huge figure of the sea monster is naturally oppressive.
The change appeared very abruptly, but everyone did not hesitate.
"Fire!" Dugu Junjie did not hesitate.
The artillery that has been prepared for a long time roars—it cannot be called a naval gun yet, and the technology has yet to mature.
Except for the four cannons at the stern, all the other cannons turned around and roared at the shadow. Under the light of the shell explosion, Zhang Hao and others could clearly see the appearance of the huge sea monster.
An... octopus!
But this octopus is very different. Each of its tentacles has a diameter of several meters, and the head of the tentacles is like a snake's head. It can open its mouth to attack, and it also has cold eyes.
But the octopus itself has no eyes, only a huge body of more than 20 meters. Under the reflection of the artillery fire, it appeared maroon.
The tentacles rolled, layers of waves blocked the attack of the shells, and the waves rolled backwards, falling down like a sky collapse.
The defensive barrier on the battleship had been fully opened, the huge waves rushed down, the entire battleship trembled violently, and was thrown into the sea by more than one meter, exceeding the maximum waterline.
Standing on the deck, Zhang Hao had to use spells to stand firm; he heard the struggling sound of the giant steel ship, the friction, twisting, and collision of steel in his ears.
If it is an ordinary wooden ship, even a treasure ship made of top-grade wood, I am afraid that it will also face the danger of disintegration at this time. But the Iron Giant Ship is different.
The tenacious giant steel ship quickly rushed out of the water, and the sailors roared angrily, shells one after another, and the rate of fire could reach ten times a minute. The flames of the 22 cannons and the explosion of the cannons illuminated the hazy night like bolts of lightning; the sound of the explosion was like thunder, even overwhelming the roar of the sea waves.
Daoist Ming Xu, Liu Dingshan, and Chen Yansong did not move, but the three of them were already fully prepared. Once given the opportunity, it will be lore. The reason why the three of them haven't made a move yet is because...Zhang Hao and Dugu Junjie haven't spoken yet.
If others don't speak, don't intervene; maybe they are testing the potential of the battleship. Anyway, there is no danger now.
The battleship is still advancing, and there are icebergs appearing in the waves; more ice cones are falling like rain, hitting the defensive barrier of the giant ship like pool water under rain, with little waves, which are extremely beautiful under the brilliance of artillery fire.
Under the night, the tumbling waves, icebergs, and ice cones all over the sky constitute a natural disaster; while the tenacious giant ship is galloping. It smashed through the iceberg and attacked the monster in front of it all the way.
Under the command of Dugu Junjie, after two minutes of concentrated fire attack, several shells finally broke through the defense and broke one of the octopus' tentacles. This octopus obviously has no experience in fighting artillery, and it uses its tentacles to whip the artillery shells.
A tentacle with a length of more than fifty meters twisted in the waves.
Feng Zhiling made a move, and the fishing rod that had been practiced repeatedly appeared again, and the hook spanned more than 200 meters to catch the tentacle onto the deck.
The tentacles left the body of the octopus, still winding like a snake, and actually possessed the combat power of a mid-Yuanying stage. That snake mouth full of fangs can also emit sharp and small ice picks. The ice cone is blue in color.
"Hmph!" Feng Zhiling took out a talisman, temporarily sealed the tentacle, and then fished it onto the deck. After several seals, it was completely sealed, and he threw it aside, and shouted: "Breakfast is here tomorrow morning. Everyone, work harder!"
Dugu Junjie is still commanding the battle firmly. After blowing off one of the tentacles of the octopus monster, Dugu Junjie smiled triumphantly. One of the tentacles was missing, and there was a loophole in defense and attack; and the pain and pain also made the octopus monster start to be confused.
Another minute later, another tentacle was blown off.
Dugu Junjie smiled: "This sea monster may have the realm of transforming into a god, but its application of power is far inferior to that of a human being. It has nothing but brute force. Continue!"
After the artillery roared for five minutes, the octopus dropped four tentacles and left in despair with wounds all over its body. The sea quickly calmed down.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Hao and Dugu Junjie did not ask the three God Transformation Stages to make a move.
Feng Zhiling excitedly fished four tentacles onto the deck. Each tentacle has a diameter of three to four meters. Depending on the location of the explosion, some are more than 50 meters long, and some are 20 to 30 meters long.
With everyone's concerted efforts, Feijian pierced through the part similar to the snake's head several times, and these tentacles completely lost their life.
Looking at these tentacles, a little crystal saliva flowed from the corner of Senior Brother Feng's mouth.
Daoist Ming Xu came to Zhang Hao and asked, "Did you put that octopus back on purpose?"
"Yes. Let it go back to spread our strength. I believe that when we cross this sea area again in the future, we should be much safer. As long as we don't attack sea monsters at will."
Daoist Mingxu nodded, agreeing with Zhang Hao's statement. In war, it is a simple and effective means to release some frightened captives to return to spread the strength of the enemy.
Sure enough, after that, the sea returned to calm again until the sun rose. Everyone cheered, but Dugu Junjie asked everyone to carefully inspect the ship and summarize last night's combat experience.
But senior brother Feng Zhiling started breakfast in a big way. The flames inspired by the spirit stones were put on, and everyone began to carve up a small number of octopus tentacles.
As a beast in the transformation stage, its flesh and blood are incomparably delicious. This kind of delicacy is not only the desire of the tongue, but also the spiritual energy and life breath contained in it. The kind of delicacy that satisfies the body is the real delicacy.
Everyone ate this 'seafood feast' with open stomachs, but they only ate some bits and pieces—many of the tentacles that were blown off were broken. Now I just cleaned up the broken part and didn't finish eating.
This breakfast was very weird. After eating, some sailors were promoted. Several even took the Foundation Establishment Pill on the spot, ready to hit the Foundation Establishment stage.
It was a hearty, triumphant breakfast for all.
It was the first time to sail on the green sea of death, the first time to defeat the monsters in the transformation stage, and the first time to enjoy the deliciousness of the monsters in the transformation stage. Few of the Nascent Soul Stage could afford the flesh and blood of such monsters in the Transformation Stage. Not only expensive, but less!
No, even Daoist Master Mingxu didn't care about being reserved, he actually ate more than 80 catties by himself - I don't know where it all went.
However, for the powerful transformation stage, they can eat and refine the essence at the same time. As for the impurities in it, the real fire in the body can be completely burned into fly ash, which can be discharged out of the body along with breathing.
The powerful stage of transforming gods, but they are called small land gods. Moreover, human beings have a complete cultivation system in the stage of becoming a god, and they can exert their power to the extreme, which is unmatched by monsters.
After breakfast, the inspection of the ship by the sailors and technical personnel such as Hou Shangzhuo also ended. intact.
The battleship continued to gallop, and before you knew it, it was another night; on this night, everyone held a barbecue meeting on the deck, and the barbecue was octopus slices. But this night, it was calm.
Perhaps just as Zhang Hao expected, after the octopus monster left, he intentionally or unintentionally publicized the power of the steel warship. Not to mention that on this deck, octopus slices are grilled every day.
Until the morning of the fourth day, someone suddenly shouted: "I see land ahead!"
After floating at sea for so many days, everyone is still a little uncertain. Qixia Country has never set foot in the ocean before, and everyone lacks experience.
After floating in the sea for four consecutive days, many people have already experienced some discomfort. For example, top-heavy, weak-hearted and dry-hearted, although the Iron Battleship is powerful and stable, it still has slight bumps, and many people cannot rest and practice at all. Many people already have dark circles. There are also dietary issues.
Especially the loneliness of being alone overseas, the emptiness of the vast sea, has the most serious impact on everyone.
Fortunately, land was seen.
"Wait, that should be... Blackscale Island!" Dugu Junjie was thoughtful, "Blackscale Island is the junction of the Green Sea of Death and the Emerald Sea, the outer sea and the inner sea.
There are sea monsters everywhere on this island, and they cannot be approached. After crossing the island and sailing thousands of miles northeast, you will arrive at Qianlong Port. After passing Qianlong Harbor, you will arrive at the sea area of Langya Kingdom!
We are here, we are here!
We crossed the green sea of death! "
"Black Scale Island?" Zhang Hao stood on the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. Suddenly Zhang Hao's heart jumped, and he shouted: "Look at that guy in the distance, is it the octopus monster we met a few days ago!"
