Chapter 297 Whirlpool on the Sea
In the evil spirit sea, a tsunami that has not been seen for hundreds of years is raging.
But the first ones to suffer were not the culprits, Mu You and others, but the people near Turtle Island.
"Oops!"
At the port of Turtle Island, Xiaoxiao and others felt their scalps go numb when they saw the giant creature above their heads.
At this moment, Octopus King's crazy behavior made them even more desperate.
Seeing a 100-meter-high tsunami coming towards us, as one of the ships closest to the tsunami at this time, they would become the first victims no matter what.
"good chance!"
While others were frightened, the Emperor's eyes lit up.
"Stabilize the hull and use this wave to shorten the distance quickly!"
"Seriously?" Xiaoxiao and the others next to him were a little incredulous.
With the help of the thrust of the tsunami, it is indeed possible to achieve the effect of accelerating sailing in theory, but in the face of such a large tsunami, the first consideration for normal people should be to save their lives...
"Of course! The shield spell and the repair spell are ready..." The emperor was extremely determined. This is a magical world, and nothing is impossible.
Others had no time to think about it at this time. As they spoke, the huge waves above their heads had swept over. Everyone hurriedly cast spells and used various defensive methods.
The next moment, their ship was swept away by the huge waves. Everyone could only hear the crackling sound of the hull. If there were not several repair spells working at the same time, the hull would have disintegrated several times.
With the division of labor and cooperation of ten people, everyone gradually discovered that not only did the hull not break, but it also miraculously maintained its balance in the big waves.
The tsunami spread rapidly and basically submerged all the islands along the way. It picked up countless creatures and debris along the way and continued to surge forward.
The first wave soon reached Bligh Island.
The Ghost and the Dragon Knight Pirates' ships had no time to sail far before they encountered the first wave of impact.
The moment the waves hit, Mu You released the ice wall technique in advance.
A wide ice wall formed in mid-air, forcibly dividing the waves and protecting the Ghost below.
The Dragon Riding Pirates next to them escaped by relying on the activity of the black dragon. The corrosive dragon flames spit out on the huge waves, forcibly burning a hole in the huge waves and removing most of them. impact.
Of course, this method did not work every time. After the first two huge waves, the subsequent waves began to get higher and more violent, and the ice wall could not protect all angles. The Ghost was flooded from the side. The incoming sea water hit him and submerged him directly into the sea.
The dragon rider fleet next to it was even worse. The waves were too high and exceeded the flying height of the black dragon. As a result, the ship and the dragon were pushed into the depths of the sea, and they continued to roll and collide under the huge force.
Then there was no choice but to rely on ships to resist.
Fortunately, the ships of the two ships are different. The surface of the Dragon Knight Pirates' ship is covered with many dragon scales, which can greatly alleviate the impact. The Ghost is repaired with the Tree of Life, which has extremely strong The strong self-healing ability, coupled with the fact that Mu You and Lin Xue maintained the black magic version of the repair spell at the same time, kept the hull intact even under the repeated erosion of huge waves.
In the end, both companies relied on the quality of the hull to resist. Even they were in such misery, not to mention the others. The entire evil spirit sea was basically in a wailing state at the moment.
This wave of operations by the Octopus King caused a lot of distress to all the creatures on the sea, but precisely because of this big tsunami, it did greatly speed up their rush to Bone Island.
Driven by the waves, the journey that originally took at least two or three hours now took only about half an hour to reach the destination.
By this time, the storm on the sea finally calmed down.
The tsunami caused by the Octopus King was temporarily over, but Mu You did not feel any relaxation, because from behind, the familiar neighing sound of the Octopus King continued to sound, and the distance was obviously approaching.
Obviously, King Octopus did not calm down his anger just because he created a tsunami. The main body seemed to chase after him directly.
What happened was that it rained all night. Just when a group of people rushed to the front of White Bone Island, a row of ships appeared on the sea. There were at least twenty ships. They joined together on the sea and blocked their way forward. the way.
These are undoubtedly the emperor's people.
Along the way just now, he didn't encounter any other enemies. Mu You had already guessed the opponent's plan. He was probably preparing to gather people and conduct a big interception in front of White Bone Island.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case, with more than twenty ships, even if there are forty people on each ship, that is more than eight hundred people, which is basically the entire combat power deployed by the Divine Right of Kings in the northwest of the Evil Spirit Sea.
"That's what it looks like!"
On the pirate ship next to him, Finn looked at the row of ships waiting in front. There was no timidity in his eyes, but a little excitement.
The opponent's number of ships and people are more than twice theirs, but in a battle at sea, the number of people is only a small part of the factor, not to mention that there is no real bloody battle, their task is just to cover the ghost ship passing here.
"Your target is in front, right? We will be responsible for covering next, you just rush over!" Finn looked at Mu Youyou.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Mu You was also polite. Isn't it just to deal with the current situation that he went through so much trouble to ask for help?
"It's a trivial matter." Finn chuckled and waved towards the fleet behind him.
"Young men, get ready to work!"
"Pull the sails full, and tear open a hole in the fleet in front of me as quickly as possible!"
"Understood!"
The pirates roared and quickly entered the battle state.
The nine warships soon filled their sails, and under the push of the sea breeze, they charged forward at full speed.
Before the two sides approached, the flames of various ship cannons had already begun to fly all over the sky.
The flames soared into the sky, the sound of bombing was endless, and the nearby sea surface instantly became filled with smoke.
The black dragon was still the vanguard of the Dragon Rider Pirates, roaring through the sky and arriving at the front line of the battlefield first. However, the people with divine power had suffered a loss after all. This time, they had prepared anti-aircraft weapons early, and the black dragon did not dare to rush too close. It could only hover in the sky, and occasionally spit out a breath of dragon breath, which greatly reduced its deterrent power.
In the wash of artillery fire, the ships on both sides suffered varying degrees of damage, but they still could not stop each other from approaching. Soon, the ships of both sides came into close combat.
For a while, the scene was filled with shouts and screams, and various magical lights and shadows rose and fell, entering a state of tragic hand-to-hand combat.
After having enough numerical advantage, the fleet of the Divine Right of the King finally did not slack off like the one on Bly Island. Facing the fierce pirates rushing towards them, they effectively organized a counterattack, causing the Dragon Knight Pirates to fall into a bitter battle from the beginning.
"Captain, this group of people seems to have become stronger..." A sailor behind Finn couldn't help but speak.
Finn looked at the battle in front of him and frowned secretly.
People kept dying at the scene, but no one was teleported away. They all chose to fight again after being resurrected on the spot.
This is not because the opponent's combat effectiveness has become stronger, but because the opponent's morale has been raised.
The opponent should have received some death order and was determined to stop them here, even at any cost.
If there were no other interference, Finn would certainly not be afraid of a bloody battle with the opponent here, but the problem is that there is a big boss Octopus King chasing them in the back, and he may appear at any time. They have to evacuate the battlefield before that, and there is no time to fight here.
"Brother, I will try my best to help you cut through their formation. You have to break through it yourself!" Finn hurriedly shouted to Mu You.
"Don't worry, you have done enough!" Mu You gave him a thumbs up.
Although the impact of the Dragon Knight Pirates failed to directly tear through the opponent's defense line, it has greatly distracted the opponent's attention. The Ghost has been well protected along the way and is still in its prime. It is not a problem to rush through.
Mu You pushed the Sea Breeze Scepter to the extreme. The strong wind was like a big hand, pushing the Ghost from behind to accelerate forward and rush straight to the weakest position of the opponent's formation.
"Haha, leave the work of the vanguard to me!"
The panda man jumped off the bow of the Ghost, stepped across the water all the way, and rushed straight to the opposite ship. Behind him, there was also the troll war god following.
The legendary witch doctor stood on the bow and danced the beast god dance. The panda man and the troll war god in front were suddenly covered by a layer of white light, and both entered the magic immune state.
With the support of magic immunity, the panda and the troll war god jumped onto the enemy ship fearlessly, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and faced the siege of a group of players without any loss. Especially the panda, whose body was as flexible as dough, let everyone experience the horror of 100% dodge.
Mu You also shook a thunder net to the opposite side, and the huge thundercloud instantly wrapped the two ships in front responsible for blocking it. Thunders kept striking, and there were two magic-immune orcs showing off their power. The players on the two ships were killed to death, and they couldn't take care of themselves, so blocking anything became a luxury.
The Ghost drove straight in, directly knocked the two ships apart, and passed through the middle.
When the other ships of the Divine Right of the King reacted and wanted to chase, they had been left behind by the Ghost's super-fast speed.
"Beautiful!"
Finn praised secretly, the Ghost Ship broke through more smoothly than he imagined, so their pressure would definitely be greatly reduced.
As expected, the opposing fleet lost their will to fight as soon as they saw that the most important target had been missed, and they all turned their ships around to pursue.
The Dragon Riders would naturally not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately harassed them from behind, taking advantage of them, making the ships of the Divine Right extremely annoyed, but unable to escape, and the distance between them and the Ghost was getting farther and farther.
Finn did not order his men to stop until the Ghost sailed far enough away. Their mission was now complete, and they had to evacuate this troubled place as soon as possible before the Octopus King arrived.
"Brother, we'll withdraw first, see you later!" Finn said goodbye to Mu You through the voice transmission prop.
"Thank you for your hard work, see you later!"
Mu You stood on the Ghost, watching the Dragon Riders leave in another direction, and although the Emperor's men were still chasing them, they were too far away and could not catch up.
The battle here came to an end, and the actual process was not as fierce as imagined. After all, his opponent was only the Emperor's family, and the number of people was only a few hundred, which was not difficult to deal with.
Mu You estimated that the truly tragic battlefield should be at the other entrance.
As he expected, countless players gathered near Luoweng Island on the other side of the Evil Spirit Sea, and a very chaotic naval battle was taking place.
The emperor suddenly announced the location of entrance No. 9 on the forum. Although many people doubted the authenticity, it did not prevent major forces from sending people to check it out.
As a result, basically all players who were in the evil spirit sea and had no clear goals were attracted to Loon Island.
"My ****!"
Jack stood on the deck, dodging stray bullets that kept coming in the distance while cursing.
If the emperor had just announced the entrance location, he wouldn't have been scolded like this.
But just ten minutes ago, he just received news from his subordinates. Someone anonymously published information about him on the forum, saying that he held four Dawn City fragments "4789", which happened to cover the No. 9 entrance. All the access routes, the post clearly states that as long as you can intercept Jack's ship, you will basically get the position of city lord!
As a result, when Jack and his people came here, they were immediately chased and intercepted by countless people.
At this moment, Jack's fleet was sailing through a hail of gunfire, followed by countless pursuers. If they hadn't been pirates and their navigation skills were far superior to ordinary people, they would have been dismembered several times.
Jack knew without thinking that this must be a good thing done by the emperor.
This guy was obviously afraid that he would enter the city faster from this entrance, so he specially used this trick to make it more difficult for him.
Under the bombardment, Jack had already greeted the eighteenth generation of the emperor's ancestors in his heart.
The only good news now is: it seems that the ghost captain has not come here. Otherwise, he will really be unable to bear the sniper attack from another legendary master.
"Boss, just now our people were near White Bone Island and witnessed a battle between the Emperor's fleet and the Dragoon Pirates, and there was also a ghost captain's ship at the scene!" At this time, his intelligence officer sent him a message Good news.
"Oh? So Captain Ghost is really looking for another entrance?"
Jack immediately sneered after hearing this: "Haha, you deserve it, let them go dog-eat-dog! Now that our fragments are all there, there is no interference from these two rivals. As long as we can find the entrance, we have a huge advantage... Of course, the premise is that we must first Get rid of these bastards behind you!"
"Don't worry, boss, we didn't become pirates for nothing for so many years!" said the subordinate.
"Let them see the sailing skills of our native pirates!" Jack sneered.
"Show them your skills!" The pirates responded with high morale.
And when he said this, a group of pirates were actually being chased by the pursuers from behind.
Jack was a little speechless. Although they were confident in their navigation skills, there were too many pursuers...
"Boss, we found a whirlpool in the sea ahead!"
Just when Jack was having a headache how to get rid of his pursuers, the scout sailor at the top of the mast suddenly shouted.
"Quick, turn quickly! Avoid the whirlpool!" A vice-captain hurriedly ordered.
The other pirates had no objection and ran to pull the sails and adjust the course. Anyone who has lived at sea all year round knows that if you encounter a whirlpool during navigation, you must avoid it. No matter how small a whirlpool is, once you get stuck in it, it will be difficult to get out.
"etc!"
At this moment, Jack stopped everyone, jumped onto the mast, and looked forward through the telescope for a while.
"What's wrong, boss?"
"There's something wrong with this whirlpool!" Jack frowned and said, "This kind of sea current shouldn't form such a big whirlpool..."
With many years of sailing experience, Jack immediately saw the strangeness of the whirlpool ahead.
"Moreover, the center of this whirlpool seems to be just on the west side of Loon Island..."
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"This thing might be the entrance to Sky City..."
Jack licked his chapped lips, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly shouted down: "Keep moving forward and sail directly into the whirlpool!"
"Boss...are you serious?"
"Can we still have some time off? Hurry up, take off all the sails, go in along the whirlpool, don't struggle, let the current take us away!"
"Boss, but... what if it's not the entrance?" The deputy expressed concern. If it was just a coincidence, then their behavior would be equivalent to rushing to death.
"I can't care less, let's take a gamble!" Jack looked back at the pursuers behind him and sneered: "It is the nature of pirates to take risks! Among the group of rookies behind me, I think some of them dare to come in with me. !”
