Chapter 659 El Shark Part 2
After Luo Di left these words, he started "sprinting" and rushed to the captain's room. Melinsera followed closely, and Sylvia was stunned for a moment. As a mage, she knew that she was also a combatant, and looked back at Aka. Sha and Nefei glanced at each other, nodded, and chased after them.
"what's the situation?"
"Enemy attack alarm, from under the sea."
Houdini in the captain's room looked at the magic circle in front of him with a serious expression. This magic circle looked like a "radar" to Roddy, but he couldn't judge the symbols and colors displayed on it. Houdini knew that it was necessary to explain at this time, so he said: "The magic circle detected that there are unknown objects approaching, the number is one, and the length is more than ten meters..."
"How far is it?"
"Less than 500 meters, approaching rapidly!"
Houdini realized that something was wrong, there were many creatures under the sea, but he had never heard of anything rushing out of the deep sea and heading directly to the ship on the surface—he made a decisive decision and immediately activated the defense measures of the hull, and at the same time activated all Floating Tower!
For a while, the buzzing sound of the magic circle rang throughout the ship. Rody knew that he could not be of much help in the captain's room, so he ran directly to the room not far away to get the weapon, took a pot of arrows, and went with Melintha. up the deck.
As soon as the two of them saw the sunlight outside, they felt the hull shield shake suddenly, and the surrounding sea suddenly splashed a large amount of white water.
"The shield is not broken, the thing is over there!"
Merlinsera judged the opponent's position from the elemental vibration of the shield, and ran to the port side with her wand in hand, only to see that the floating towers floating around suddenly turned in unison, and the multiple ballistas on the tower were aimed at the sea surface The black shadow that just appeared was a salvo!
Half of the fist-thick metal crossbow missed, but the other half hit the target. These arrows are extremely powerful, and they also have an explosion effect, which produced a large blast wave on the spot—but Rody heard a sound similar to metal collisions during this round of attacks. With "Environmental Acuity" turned on, he has excellent eyesight. In the chaotic spray, he saw the splashed blood staining a large area of the sea. The huge creature with a length of ten meters did not back down, but turned its head and slammed into the shield of the hull. The sound of "bang" was bounced away again.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The hit rate of the second round of salvo was much higher, and the monster whose black shadow was exposed on the sea surface was exploded, and its speed suddenly slowed down. But even so, it was still as if stupefied, constantly turning its body to stir up waves, hitting the shield again and again—but after the third and fourth rounds of volleys, the monster that was almost tied into a hedgehog finally disappeared. I hit the flagship, but turned over on the spot and died...
Apparently, this is not the first time that the "Boratini" has encountered a similar situation. After the battle, the floating tower approached the corpse of the monster, unhooked it and dragged it for a few nautical miles before starting to slow down. The mages came to the deck to cast spells, abruptly dragging the monster out of the sea. After pulling out the four-meter-long crossbow bolts, the corpse was placed on the flagship's deck.
Roddy, Merlinsera, and Sylvia standing behind did not make a move from the beginning to the end. As an individual, facing such a huge creature is indeed very powerless - Rody imagined that if he drove a transport ship of No. 3 passing by, he would probably be killed by this monster without any resistance The fish sank.
Only a large and well-armed flagship like the "Boratini" can easily kill this water monster. This battle looked easy, but it really showed the strength of Rahiman Kingdom's current sea battle. It is said that "a century-old navy", if you want to build a fleet, you really need to spend a lot of money...
But looking at this bloody monster, Rody looked strange, because he smelled a familiar smell from the fishy smell floating in the air...
This huge fish was thrown on the deck with a full body of crossbow bolts. After the sailors were fixed, they began to cut open the surface of the corpse with their knives. Only three or four people could pull out the huge crossbow bolt that exploded and remained in the opponent's body. And when Houdini rushed over with the battle mage on board,
The solemn expression before had disappeared from his face.
After all, this is the first time to demonstrate the power of the "Boratini" in front of Roddy. Rahiman's sailing skills are obviously still in place, and Roddy would like to give a compliment to this-but he is more interested in the current situation. The big fish: "What is this? Does it attack boats often?"
In fact, Houdini was also full of question marks. When the fleet traveled from Rahiman to Karen, no one was so blind. Creatures on the bottom of the sea will not attack a ship that is so much bigger than himself for no reason, so he looked closely for a long time, touched here and there, and even used magic to measure it, so he hesitated: "According to reason …it’s an ayer shark.”
Seeing that the alarm had been lifted, Naifei and Silvia gathered around and watched curiously. Neither of them had ever been in the sea, and they couldn't stop sighing when they saw the ten-meter-long El Shark. Now hearing Houdini's explanation, Naifei said excitedly: "Is this a big shark? Brother Roddy said that the shark It’s so vicious, no wonder it even hits a boat!”
"Uh...Actually, El Shark has a very gentle personality, so he shouldn't have such an aggressive behavior." Houdini expressed his doubts to Roddy: "It is reasonable to say that it operates in the deep sea. It is rarely close to the surface of the water. I know this thing because I wrote a paper on deep-sea positioning of prophecy more than ten years ago. At that time, El Shark was a very typical deep-sea shark. Rahiman had a fish researcher. The department has a lot of information on it, even specimens."
Roddy's understanding of marine fish is limited to various popular science books, and as for the marine life in this world, it is basically blank. Because he had been operating inland at the beginning, no one had set his sights on the ocean, so he could only rely on Houdini's judgment.
But looking at this shark with covered bones outside its body, he always felt familiar. After getting closer, he reached out and knocked, and Rody asked, "So this kind of creature usually doesn't take the initiative to attack others? Then what's the use of these bone armors?"
"I'm also curious about this question. To be honest... the El Shark I studied before doesn't have this kind of bone armor, and there are many strange things on it, which are different from my impression." Houdini went over, using "Mage "Hand" opened the shark's mouth, pointed to the blade-like teeth on it: "Its teeth are only as long as my fingers, because it only eats all kinds of small fish and shrimps on weekdays, and it is not the kind of large predatory fish." Eater, but the... short one in front of me is longer than my forearm."
