Chapter 1936 The Song of Fascination
Not only Holden was dumbfounded, Joan couldn't help but gasped.
Thousands of harpies live in the waters near the Saddle Islands?
Is this too exaggerated? !
Just when everyone was looking at each other in blank dismay, a strange singing sound suddenly came from outside the window.
It sounds a bit sharp at first, but the more you listen to it, the more pleasant it becomes, and you can't help being fascinated by it, and you really want to approach the singer and see her beauty.
Clang!
Audrey immediately pulled out the holy sword "Pale Justice".
Among all the people present, only Miss Paladin was completely unaffected by the banshee's hypnotic song. Realizing that the situation was not good, she drew her sword and activated the "halo of justice" to protect the people around her from being confused by the singing.
Joan touched the "Topaz Amulet" on his chest. At the same time that Audrey drew his sword, the amulet also opened the "Secondary Spiritual Barrier" to block the enchanting magic contained in the singing.
Both Hyrule and Holden are also wearing topaz amulets, and only Captain Odysseus was actually awakened by Audrey from the ecstasy.
"I'm really afraid of something!" Holden shook his head and smiled wryly. "It seems that we have to go on the deck and refuse the courtship of the harpies face to face."
"I'm afraid they won't accept the good person card and insist on trying the twisted melon." Hailaer covered her mouth and snickered.
At this time, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the window, and several figures flashed by.
"Oops! Our sailors!" Captain Odysseus stomped his feet anxiously.
Hailar put away his smile, rushed out of the cabin without saying a word, and climbed up the vertical ladder to the open deck. Sure enough, he saw seven sailors, together with the fat cook Sinbad, all gathered at the bow, staring at the group of flying in the air Harpies, fascinated by their singing.
There are no less than a hundred harpies in the sky. Two of the harpies paused their singing, spread out a huge fishing net, swooped down from the sky, swooped close to the deck, and netted the three sailors standing at the front.
Another six harpies gathered their wings and swooped down, landing on the deck, assisting the two sisters before, pulling up the big net together, intending to capture the captured sailors.
"Go away, temptress!"
A piece of "flash dust" was thrown over, and the harpies were so hurt by the flash that their eyes couldn't stop crying, so they had to drop their fishing nets, screaming and cursing, flapping their wings and fleeing back into the air.
Hailar rushed over after casting the spell, raised her left hand, activated the "peace of mind" attached to the emerald ring, and a golden halo spread around her.
The sailors on the deck were illuminated by the golden light, and they all recovered from their ecstasy, hurriedly untied their fishing nets, and rescued their captured companions.
Joan, Audrey, Holden and Captain Odysseus followed Hyrule's footsteps onto the deck.
Captain Odysseus gathered the sailors to his side, and distributed the magic crystal rifles one by one—these were all "picked up" by Hyrule from the Elephant Man Island, and originally belonged to the group of Feizhen mercenaries killed by the octopus , just to arm the sailors on board.
Joan stood in the middle of the deck, quickly slapped several protective spells on himself, and looked up to detect the group of naked temptresses with wings and bird claws.

...
The harpies in the sky found more people boarding the deck and sang the "Ecstasy" with excitement. However, under the double protection of the "halo of justice" and "peace of mind", the sailors on the deck were not affected by it. Affected by the banshee's singing, she frequently raised her gun to shoot into the sky.
Singing and gunshots resounded over the sea, and sometimes a harpy was hit and fell down with a wail.
Although the harpies only had 7 points of intelligence, at this time she also realized that the people on the deck were not disturbed by the "Ecstasy" and continued singing in vain. She cursed angrily and threw javelins downward from the air.
A javelin just landed at Joan's feet, and the flint-polished point of the spear hit the teak deck and shattered on the spot, leaving an inch-deep scar on the deck.
If this gun is nailed to a person, the broken tip of the gun will remain in the wound, which is even more serious than the metal javelin.
"Súré!"
Joan waved his hand and released the 5-ring "Advanced Wind Wall Technique", creating a high-speed atmospheric barrier on the flat ground, surrounding the open-air deck.
The harpies living on the outside of the wind wall were swayed by the strong wind, and the javelins thrown were also blocked by the airflow barrier and lost their aim.
Qiao An and the others were located inside the wind wall, completely free from the interference of the airflow. The bullets fired by the sailors into the air were blessed by the wind, and the lethality increased instead.
After casting the spell, Joan took out the revolver from the storage bag, relying on the protection of the wind wall, calmly raised the gun to aim at the Harpy, and pulled the trigger.
The fired lead bullets hit the target's chest, causing fatal injuries and at the same time triggering the "Fear Art", scaring several harpies to flee in a hurry.
When Hailar and Holden saw Joann shooting, they also took out their magic pistols and fired into the sky.
Audrey doesn't have a pistol, but she has a "dragon cavalry gun" dedicated to air combat. The size of this guy is exaggerated, the inner diameter of the gun bore is half an inch, it can almost be called a "magic crystal cannon"!
Miss Paladin first slapped a line of "Bull Power" on her body, increasing the strength attribute by 6 points, raised the dragon cavalry gun with one hand, locked on a harpy in the air and pulled the trigger.
call out!
A bright electric arc spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the 4-ounce shuttle bomb hit the Harpy's abdomen, blowing the witch to pieces on the spot, as if a cloud of blood-colored fireworks bloomed in the air.
The harpies never expected that more than a dozen gunmen had assembled on this seemingly inconspicuous motorboat, with such ferocious firepower that they posed a serious threat to them—it has only been half an hour since the battle started, and it has already Nearly half of the harpies were shot down indiscriminately.
Realizing that this was a tough nut to crack, the harpies immediately split up and acted separately: they sent two messengers to the islands near the strait to summon their people to help them, and the rest of the harpies, led by the leader, raised their flight altitude .
The geometric shape of the "Advanced Wind Wall Technique" is similar to a "funnel", wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The closer it is to the outer wall of the wind wall, the more turbulent the airflow will be. There is almost no wind on the inner wall, and the wind force at the top of the funnel is also relatively small.
The harpies took advantage of this feature, first flew directly above the funnel-shaped wind eye, then turned over and swooped down, so that they could bypass the wind wall and land on the deck to fight hand-to-hand with the crew.
Holden saw the plan of these temptresses, showed his wand, aimed at the area where the harpies gathered above his head, and blasted out a "fireball"!
