Chapter 523 The Giant Monster of the Deep Sea
Although there is information that the two groups of pirates, the King of the West Sea and the King of the South Sea, set off for the Far West Sea more than half a month ago.
Su Lun was not too surprised by the news.
That [One-Eyed Hanged Man] card has been circulated in the hands of many collectors, and the hidden information on it may not be deciphered.
The pirates depended on the sea for their food, and they already had in their hands some charts of the outer seas that were wilder than those of the Luying Royal Cartography Library. In particular, pirates like to collect treasure maps. When all kinds of ancient treasure maps are put together, it may not be possible to roughly figure out the area of the Dragon Kingdom.
Then there is divination, prophecy, etc.
Since the gods of the Celestial Plane know that [Fountain of Mimir] is in the broken Alchemy Plane, they are really determined to find it, and there are many ways to find it.
But Su Lun and the others were not in a hurry to chase them.
The Dawn Mission has a [Black Sam's World Sea Chart] in their hands, and they know that the route is not so easy to navigate.
Moreover, the limit speed of the Eternal Night is several times that of ordinary sailboats, so even if it starts late, it can catch up with it.
It would be great for someone to go to that dangerous route for them to go to mine first.
More importantly, there is also an "eyeliner" of the Dawn Regiment in the South China Sea Fleet.
On this day, Su Lun was meditating in the cabin when the communicator suddenly rang.
"Oh, Su Lun, you must be careful when approaching the nightmare sea area. Not only are there perennial chaotic storms in this sea area, but there are also super terrifying deep sea giant monsters hidden in the sea. Oh my god, no one expected that there would be so many of them, densely packed, a piece of land. All the guys from the South China Sea Fleet suffered heavy casualties, and more than 70% of the warships were lost. If it wasn't for luck, and the eighth-rank Holy Cultist, I'm afraid I would have died in the belly of the shark with people and boats last night."
"Crusader? Are you sure it's called this?"
"That's right, that's what the vice-captain said. I didn't know there was such a person in the fleet before. Didn't I meet that eighth-order 'overlord' dragon shark that was bigger than a mountain? The sea monster was destroyed by the lightning strike technique that burned the sea water. I am afraid that the fleet will not be able to pass through this sea area."
"Senior Kit, be careful, the magicians of the Crusaders are very powerful, and usually have some special abilities, so don't be discovered."
"Oh, of course. My disguise is not so easy to reveal. But you have to follow, remember to be careful, I have left marks along the way."
"Okay, be careful too."
"."
That's right, the spy of the Dawn is Kit.
Those people in the plane of the gods knew that the [One-Eyed Hanged Man] Tarot card and the Mirror Library were both related to him, so they kept looking for him.
Now the black market is full of reward orders for this guy. Su Lun originally said to let him hide in the regiment, but this guy can't sit still.
The top members of the Thieves Guild are no longer ordinary thieves, but a group of adventurous and chivalrous guys.
Now that the planes are invading, one by one is also actively acting, collecting information on the intruders everywhere.
Since completing the "Ultimate Challenge" by stealing the Luying Royal Library's collection in Lingdon last time, Kit has also become famous.
He was wanted everywhere, so he did the opposite and sneaked into the South Sea Fleet incorporated by the Celestials.
Then sailed along with it.
It just so happens that Liming also placed an eyeliner.
After the communication ended, Su Lun also frowned, lost in thought.
The dangers of the route were to be expected.
What he didn't expect was that among the group of treasure hunters in the West Sea, there was actually an eighth-rank crusader? This is a combat power that is not even available in the magic tower of the plane channel.
"It seems that the gods of the Celestial Race are even more important to the search for [Fountain of Mimir] than the invasion of the plane."
Su Lun wondered.
Although the "King of the West Sea" Moloch Bourbon and the "King of the South Sea" William Kidd are both eighth-level professionals, there are also many sixth-level and seventh-level masters in their fleet.
But the pirate group, which was once irresistible, no longer poses much threat to Liming.
As for the number of people, it was even less meaningful to Su Lun.
What he cared more about were the magicians hidden in the fleet.
The two major pirate groups, West Sea and South China Sea, set off half a month earlier than the Liming group.
But Su Lun and the others had accurate route maps and took many shortcuts. Back then, "One Piece" Black Sam depicted some unknown routes, which also allowed them to bypass some unnecessary dangerous areas.
The Eternal Night pursued wildly all the way, and the distance became shorter and shorter.
When hearing Kit's communication, the Eternal Night was only three to five days away from those pirate fleets.
Two days later, Su Lun suddenly opened his eyes from his meditation.
Suddenly, the sound of lightning, thunder, and violent sea waves came from my ear, which was so subtle that it felt far away.
He also stood up and walked out of the cabin.
When they came to the deck, the seventh-level fighters in the regiment of Qianjo, Barrett, and "Blood Duke" Wordsworth were already on the deck.
In the communicator, Tani is directing loudly: "Everyone be careful, we are going to enter the 'Eternal Night Black Sea'! Sail control is in place!"
In the distance, a dark thundercloud.
This is the high-risk sea area marked on Black Sam's world chart - the Black Sea of Eternal Night.
Because there are dense thunderstorms and storms in this sea area all the year round, even in the daytime, there is little sunlight, just like eternal night.
But this is the only way to go to the Dragon Kingdom.
That is, what Kit said before, caused the two major pirate groups to lose 60 to 70% of their warships in the extremely dangerous sea area.
Because it sailed all the way following the mark left by Kit, broken wooden boards and oak barrels can be seen everywhere on the sea. These are the fragments of the pirate ship that was smashed a few days ago. Occasionally, one or two corpses that turned white from soaking in water and were chewed to pieces by sea fish can be seen.
Looking at the debris and corpses on the sea, everyone looked solemn.
The road that has been walked by others is always better.
The dawn regiment also chose to take the same route.
At least in terms of the marine life chain, the overlord-level siren in a region is limited. The overlord-level dragon shark that nearly wiped out the South China Sea Fleet before was killed. If they pass this route, there is a high probability that they will not encounter another eighth-order overlord-level deep-sea monster.
Not long after, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
The sea ship has sailed into the endless thundercloud.
Thunder and lightning flickered in the sky, and big raindrops slapped on the hull of the ship like bullets, crackling.
The waves fluctuated violently, and everyone was like riding a roller coaster, feeling the sense of weightlessness that was extremely stimulating to the senses.
The hull of the "Emperor of Eternal Night" more than 300 meters around is already the largest sailing warship in the world, but riding on those huge waves, it is like a leaf on the water, which may be overturned at any time.
Everything in this dangerous sea seems so huge.
The dark clouds are very low and you can see very huge, the waves are also huge, and the monsters in the sea are also very huge!
The Eternal Night was lit, like the only star lit up in the dark sea.
The breath of humans on board also attracted sea beasts with a radius of hundreds of miles.
After driving about a dozen nautical miles, Tani in the cockpit found something and said suddenly: "Everyone, be careful, the fish in the water said that there are many big guys swimming towards us!"
Hearing this, everyone on the deck in Su Lun showed fighting spirit.
Be mentally prepared and not afraid of fierce battles.
The two pirate regiments of the West Sea and the South China Sea suffered heavy losses in this sea area and were almost wiped out.
But it doesn't mean they can't pass the dawn group.
Tani has the ability to control the waves and listen to the voice of sea beasts. With him as a navigator, the ocean threat will be greatly reduced.
As for fighting, there are others.
Su Lun had a black crow on his shoulder, and a black scythe in his hand was shining. He had already sensed the guys in the sea who smelled the smell, and murmured: "There are a lot of them."
Beside her, Qianshou put her hands on her waist, watching the lightning and thunder in the distance, her eyes flickered coldly: "Tsk tsk. I have to improve my food these few days."
Barrett also rubbed his silver arm, and smiled indifferently: "Yes. There are no such dense deep-sea giant monsters in other sea areas."
"Duke of Blood" Wordsworth has changed into a demon form, and the wings behind him have changed. The old vampire's laughter is always permeating, "Jie Jie, the blood of the high-level siren is a great tonic. Bring some more, I may still hope to advance to the eighth level with the old bones."
For this long voyage, almost all the masters of the Liming Mission arrived.
Discovering that the Kraken is coming, their high-end combat power has already been released.
Even though the hull was heaving violently, their legs remained motionless as if welded to the deck.
What's even more weird is that the raindrops fell one foot away from their bodies, and they were separated by an invisible field.
The rest of the Liming regiment on the deck looked at the picture of the regiment, and they were inexplicably shocked and courageous.
One by one, they were ready to fight.
In the control room, Dora also saw all this.
Getting along these days, she didn't realize that the Dawn Regiment is a very cohesive team.
This is simply not comparable to any ordinary pirate group.
So even if she sailed into this extremely dangerous sea area, she also had an inexplicable confidence in her heart, as if all difficulties would be solved easily.
On weekdays, the Dawn Group actually hunted sea monsters for food, so they didn't panic at all when encountering sea monster attacks.
Harpoon, wire netting, winch shackle. Everything is ready.
Recently, a lot of steam-powered mechanical equipment has been installed on the ship, and it is not a big problem to hunt and kill large sea beasts.
Not long after, the first wave of monsters struck.
Here comes a school of sea crabs.
The observer suddenly shouted: "Everyone be careful, the monster is on board!"
Click, click, click.
The dense touch is crisp, completely different from raindrops.
Outside the hull, dense crowds of crabs suddenly climbed up from the sea.
Each crab is several meters in size, and a pincer is bigger than a human being.
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment chose to attack as soon as they discovered it. On the side of the ship, everyone raised their guns and fired.
After trying the strength, the alchemy bullet can kill, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
"Oh, what a big crab! I've never eaten such a big crab in my life"
"Hahaha, if these crabs are to be bought in the seafood market, I'm afraid they will cost tens of thousands per head."
"Put those big crabs up, or they will fall into the sea, and the bullet money will be lost."
"."
Even if Su Lun and the others didn't make a move, the people of the Dawn Regiment would have no problem coping with it.
After the plane channel is established, it becomes easier to advance. The dawn regiment is not short of resources and various training books. As long as they are willing to practice hard, alchemists with a little bit of talent can advance to the fourth level.
A group of people put the crabs on the deck and hacked and killed them in various ways.
The crab carcasses slide directly into the storage room, and after processing, they will become food for everyone in the future.
High-end professionals consume a lot of food every day, and this high-quality protein is also an excellent food for strengthening the body.
The little guy killed a lot, and not long after, someone shouted loudly: "Leader, a big guy appeared in the sea!"
Everyone suddenly felt that the hull was leaning a lot to one side, and it was obvious that a big guy had climbed up.
Not long after, a huge blue crab with a body length of 100 meters ferociously waved its giant pincers and arrogantly climbed onto the deck.
Fortunately, the Eternal Night is big enough and strong enough. It was replaced by an ordinary pirate ship. The crab might be able to shatter the hull with just a few pincers.
Su Lun glanced at it and identified some information, but said lightly, "Titan's blood?"
【Titan Armored King Crab (Gold)】
Detailed explanation: The fifth-order golden deep-sea giant monster has a trace of Titan blood, which gives it super armor and strength.
The fifth-order sea monster is not too much of a threat.
In contrast, Su Lun was more curious about why this creature existed.
Before they came, they knew that there were many huge sea monsters in this sea area.
But why are the sea monsters in this sea area many times larger than those in the sea near Luying?
Even if Dr. Banks heard that there are dense super-sized monsters in this sea, he rarely came out of the laboratory in the small void world, and planned to sample and study it.
The pupil of omniscience asked Su Lun to directly identify the source of the blood, and he introduced a few words casually.
"The Titan family in mythology?"
Dr. Banks beside him listened, pondered for a moment, and guessed: "It is difficult to determine the cause of the ecosystem in this sea area. But the gene chain of the 'Titan Bloodline' does have a dominant gene that makes creatures gigantic. If other sea monsters in this sea area also have this bloodline, it is almost certain that they are descendants of high-purity Titan creatures in a certain ancient era, or fallen gods polluted the sea area. I need to collect some samples, maybe It can extract the gene chain of Titan's bloodline and make it into a bloodline potion."
"Um."
Su Lun was also thoughtful as he listened.
No matter which one it is, it is certain that there are some ancient secrets hidden in this sea area.
The King Crab climbed onto the deck, very arrogant.
Even if the alchemy bullet hit the green armor, it would just "clang" and "ceng" sparks.
And not only is the defense and strength amazing, climbing up and spewing out another mouthful of acid bubbles can corrode ordinary swords into rusty iron. There was a sour smell like ammonia in the air.
With its huge size and mythical bloodline, it has added additional combat power, and this blue crab has far surpassed the combat power of ordinary sixth-order golden monsters.
Lolota and a few members of the Dawn regiment carried the blue crab on their shoulders, and their fighting power was good. The sword energy also cut a lot of cracks on the hard as iron shell of the blue crab, but it was not fatal in a short time.
The giant crab's pair of big pincers were still smashing all kinds of things on the boat.
Qianjo watched from the side, thumbed the knife out of its sheath, and said, "You have to kill it. Otherwise, this big guy will damage the boat."
To deal with this kind of heavy-armored monster, she, the Juggernaut, is perfect.
As soon as the voice fell, a thunderous sword qi was already cut out.
Looking again, Chijo had already put the knife back into the scabbard.
And the blue crab in the distance had already split into two with a "wow", the blue blood slipped all over the ground, and it couldn't die anymore.
The sword qi was controlled very precisely, only the blue crab was killed, and the spots left no traces on the deck.
With this knife, everyone's eyes were wide open, and they all sighed lightly.
After Qiantiao's seventh step, except for Mr. Jing, I haven't seen her make a move yet.
Even with this knife, seeing Su Lun's scalp numb, he sighed, "It's so strong, Miss Qiantiao."
Even an old vampire like "Blood Duke" Wordsworth who has lived for hundreds of years is very moved.
Barrett made no secret of his admiration: "Chief Qiantiao's sword is really sharp. I'm afraid no one in the seventh rank can forcibly take this knife."
Lolota in the distance is also full of stars: "Wow, teacher is so amazing!"
Chijo shrugged nonchalantly, as if he had just slashed the knife casually.
After the first cut, the aura accumulated on her body became stronger and stronger.
Qiantiao killed the gold-ranked blue crab king with one blow, and the other minion crabs fled by themselves, disappearing into the sea in a blink of an eye.
Thousands of dead crabs were left on the deck, and everyone yelled and put them away.
The heavy rain quickly washed the deck, and the blood and stumps were washed away.
After a moment of relief, everyone went on guard again.
Because this is just an appetizer.
They have just entered the periphery of this "Eternal Night Black Sea", and the sea beasts are not too ferocious. And the deeper you go, the bigger the monsters will be, and the ranks will be higher and higher.
And they still have to sail in this black sea for at least two days and two nights.
After that big blue crab, there will be a wave of big deep-sea giant monsters almost every ten or so nautical miles.
The members of the Liming regiment fought all the way, and the fighting almost never stopped.
Gradually, the frequency of encountering giant sea monsters is getting higher and higher, and the size is getting bigger and bigger and more difficult.
After sailing for a day, they arrived at the central area of the Black Sea, where there are huge sea creatures. Even a shrimp-level fish has the fighting power of a first- and second-tier professional.
Silver, Gold, Lord
The sea here seems to be bottomless, and sea monsters come here in groups.
Even monsters with a body length of one thousand meters have appeared.
This is still because of Tani, they avoided some troubles of group destruction.
He could perceive the existence of the "particularly dangerous" in the sea area long in advance, and then steered the sailboat to avoid it.
【Titan Lantern Fish】, 【Dragon Scale Ice Crocodile】, 【Flame Gun Shrimp】, 【Titan Three-Head Corroded Black Eel】, 【Lightning Dragon Tail Ray】.
Su Lun's identification also found a pattern, but all the big guys, probably have "Titan blood" or "Dragon blood" creatures.
Dr. Banks also collected a large number of biological samples.
Giant dragons are sexually promiscuous and like to have sex with all kinds of creatures. It is reasonable that there have been dragon blood monsters in the sea for countless years.
It's just that they were curious, where did the Titan's blood come from?
It seems that because of this reason, the creatures in this sea area are generally gigantic.
On the second day after entering the Black Sea, everyone in the Dawn Regiment was already exhausted from the killing.
Even if this route was traveled by the two major fleets of the West Sea and the South China Sea, it was not easy for them.
The high-level fighters rested and took turns to kill those deep-sea giant monsters, so that they could protect themselves.
Fortunately, the Dawn Regiment has the best sailboats, the best navigators, and a lot of high-level battles. There is also Su Lun, a perpetual motion machine whose combat strength alone is equivalent to an army, and the mechanically invincible No. 19.
With such a powerful configuration of the Dawn Regiment, it is so dangerous. It is not surprising that the losses of the two major pirate fleets exceeded 70%.
But at the same time as the crisis, it is also accompanied by many gains.
All kinds of huge deep-sea giant monster meat were stored, not just food, these were high-grade materials with extraordinary properties.
The vitality of these dragon-born sea monsters and titan sea monsters is very strong, much stronger than ordinary high-level monsters.
This is a rare nutrient, and Su Lun also used [Blood Phagocytosis] to devour it all the way, and his body strength and muscles skyrocketed again.
This is a big improvement that hasn't been seen for a long time since the last Lingdun cataclysm.
And "Blood Duke" Wordsworth and the group of vampires he led were also enjoying themselves. The special physique of the vampires allowed them to absorb the elements in the blood of alien creatures to strengthen themselves, and many of them showed signs of breakthrough.
Occasionally, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the belly of the sea monster, and even an ancient shipwreck was found in the belly of a certain kilometer-long fish.
In the end, the benefits and risks are completely proportional.
Without being wiped out in the Black Sea, they got a huge harvest.
Finally, in the early morning of the third day, Su Lun and the others saw the sun beyond the clouds in the sky.
They finally walked out of this black sea of eternal night.
"Wow~ We finally came out!"
"Finally I can take a rest. Oh, the smell of sea monster blood is almost marinating in me."
"Ha ha ha ha."
When the sun shone on the sailboat again, bright laughter broke out on the deck.
The edge of the [World Sea Map] drawn by One Piece Black Sam ends here.
After two days and two nights of hard fighting, most of the people leaned on the deck exhaustedly.
Although tired, everyone's eyes still shone with excitement.
They completed the adventure journey that most navigators could not complete in their lifetime, and stepped into a new sea area - the kingdom of dragons.
This is why Su Lun didn't choose to teleport over directly before.
Adventure, harvest, and discovery of new routes are the most important meanings in sailing.
The team members also need this kind of fighting and tempering, and they need to be tempered in adversity.
Today is a sunny day with calm surf and good visibility.
Some lush islands finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.
Su Lun teleported into the sky, overlooking all the nearby islands.
After identifying the reference object, he immediately confirmed that this is the edge drawn by the [Dragon Kingdom Sea Area Map]!
"It's really here!"
Su Lun was overjoyed.
He landed on the deck and pointed out the location on the title map to Tani.
This is Taney's professional navigator, and this is also his hometown.
This is an extremely dangerous sea area where there are giant dragons, cyclops, and Gorgon that can destroy One Piece King Black Sam.
Su Lun didn't dare to be careless.
Going too deep is not a good choice.
If possible, he wanted to find some clues first.
For example: go to find the Naga clan of Tani, and maybe get some information help.
However, the two pirate fleets of the West Sea and the South China Sea had arrived in the waters of the Dragon Kingdom two or three days earlier.
Kit also keeps an eye on the movements of the Dawn Mission.
Not long after they came out, there was a new communication: "Oh, Su Lun, have you come out safely? I have a new situation here. Now I am on an island with people from the South Sea Fleet They settled down. An ancient ruin was found here, it seems that someone found a colorful well. Now there are five magicians in the regiment, and they just stay in the cabin and don’t know what they are doing. They seem to be casting spells.”
When Su Lun heard that he was familiar with the arrangement, he quickly responded: "Leave quickly! Those guys are going to sacrifice you!"
On the other side of the communicator, Kit screamed strangely: "What? Shit!"
