Chapter 8 Dyeing Is Highly Toxic
"So beautiful~"
At the pearl shell market in the afternoon, Ye Ling walked barefoot in the shallow water, took out a large shell, carefully opened it, and several crystal pearls appeared in front of him.
In addition to the common white pearls, there are also a few golden pearls, which are particularly beautiful and reflect the magnificent color in the sunlight.
Lorraine Hill did not go into the water. Instead, he sat in a small boat and rowed with Eileen. They visited the pearl farm and watched the shells open and close under the water.
At this time, Etesi was holding tools, picking out the shells she liked from time to time, opening them and looking at them.
Some of the pearls are round and bright, while others are tiny and dim.
"Have Luo Lan seen river clams before?" Etesi suddenly remembered something interesting.
"I have seen a swimming river clam in the Emerald Forest before." The elf princess continued without waiting for the girl to answer.
"In everyone's understanding, river mussels seem to be motionless, but in fact this is not the case. River mussels can also swim, and they are faster than some fish. Isn't it amazing?"
"It's indeed strange." Lorraine Hill also became slightly curious. As a landlubber, she envied those beings who could swim.
"How do you swim?"
"Giggle, of course it's a shell. It's like wings. It flaps in the water so you can swim." Etesi took out a golden pearl and looked at it in the sun.
"It's hard to imagine." Irene, the ice elf who was rowing the boat, also said at this time. River mussels and shells are rare creatures among them, and they only gradually got to know them after coming to the Eastern Continent.
"It doesn't matter. When we arrive in the Western Continent, I will take you to the Emerald Forest and you will see it. The scenery there is more beautiful and beautiful than many places." Atesi put the big shell back into the water, turned around and said to the two of them.
"Everyone among the elves is very friendly."
Just like that, when a few people were rowing and talking, suddenly there was a flapping sound from behind.
It turned out that Eidolon was flying over slowly with the help of its small wings. She stepped barefoot in the middle of the boat, then sat down next to Lorraine Hill, startling Dai Ju who was squatting there.
With a chirp, Dai Ju flew up and screamed a few times, then landed on the other side of Lorraine Hill and squatted down again.
Touching Dai Ju's fluffy feathers, Lorraine Hill looked at Eidolon beside him.
"Did you have fun?"
"Well, I didn't have much fun, mainly because no one was with me." The little dragon lady also missed her school friends.
"It would be nice if Aloy or Lily were here." Apart from Lorraine, these two are Eidolon's best friends in the school. Perhaps it's because the three of them have petite loli bodies that they have so much in common.
Although the three children only quarreled occasionally in school, and Ye Ling and Lily bickered with each other, the relationship between the two was actually pretty good.
Whenever Lily finds a new game or board, she will try it with Eidolon.
"When I return to the Western Continent this time, I want to see if Lily has grown taller. I have never grown taller, and this guy is not allowed to grow taller either." Ye Ling crossed his arms across his chest and said with a stern expression.
"Aren't you worried about Aloy's growth?" Lorraine Hill found it interesting.
"Of course, don't worry, hehe. Ai Luoyi must be like me and won't get taller in more than ten years." Ye Ling was full of confidence at this time.
"Maybe in the past few years, like me, she has found a cave to sleep in. I know her very well." Xiao Longniang said firmly.
"Cackle." Several people nearby laughed cheerfully.
After a day of repairs on the island, the fleet set off again. Compared with the previous journey, this time it seemed much more cautious and serious. The green-gold crossbows on each warship were on standby and ready to fire at any time. Even the rows of artillery on the side are fully loaded and ready for emergency firing.
"Further west, we may encounter attacks from various sea beasts at any time, so we must be careful."
Mr. Hai made an explanation with Lorraine Hill and others at the bow of the ship before returning to the fleet's flagship.
After passing through the large and small islands of the Pearl Islands, the waves on the sea gradually grew larger, and a series of whirlpools appeared in the distance.
In order to avoid these special whirlpools, fleets have to take long detours to avoid being caught in them.
Another day of sailing, Lorraine Hill was still reading a book in the cabin, and only heard the noise coming from outside, followed by several violent artillery sounds.
Bang——
Blazing red fire burst out on the sea surface, and then waves more than ten meters high rose up from the water surface a thousand meters away. A giant sea shark with a broad snout was still swimming in the water, and its sharp front mouth was like a side knife. Generally sharp, flashing with an inexplicable cold light.
Ocean Sequence 7: Sharp-saw White-bellied Shark (Excellent Pearl Level), this monster beast in the deep sea rowed past a sea-going ship, making a sharp sound and flashing narrow sparks on the scale-covered hull.
flutter--
Then the fierce shark entered the water again to avoid gunfire, while the scratched warship began to tilt into the water.
"Jie Tianshui Network Formation!"
A loud shout sounded on the flagship, and then the hulls of the warships began to glow with a blue light. They began to approach each other, and then arm-thick iron ropes stretched out from the hull of the ship and linked each other, making the entire fleet like a big net. The warship that was attacked gradually stabilized in the network at this moment and no longer flooded and sank.
Soon after, the Sequence 7 sea shark reappeared and struck again, its wide horizontal snout exuding a sharp and dangerous brilliance.
Stab——
Its fish snout once again crossed the hull, making a sharp sound. This time, protected by a net, the hull was filled with magic power, and its scales were much tougher. Although it left long and narrow scratches, it was not cut.
Immediately afterwards, harpoons flashing violently with lightning were launched from the bed crossbow and shot directly into the sea water. As soon as these harpoons entered the water, they emitted electric sparks, one after another.
Under such a sudden attack, even this Sequence 7 sea beast was temporarily paralyzed. Taking advantage of the moment when its speed dropped, several harpoons with flashing lightning shot out again, directly drawing blood marks on the length of the sea shark, among which A harpoon is still lodged in the sea shark's skeleton.
Seeing that the harpoon was effective, the disciples hovering in the sky fell sharply like meteorites and fell into the water.
Next to the giant sea shark that is more than 70 meters long, these dozens of extraordinary beings are like flashing fireflies, spinning sharply around the body, constantly chasing in the sea, and at the same time, a blue sword is constantly cutting the sea shark's legs. body, strangled and bled.
Faced with this close attack, the sea shark could only spin its body in the deep water. Transparent and colorless high-pressure water jets were shot around its body, cutting off some extraordinary beings who were trying to avoid it.
Traces of blood staining began to appear in the sea water, blurring the vision.
Everyone on the boat looked at the blood and bubbles that kept pouring out of the sea, and they felt anxious. It took a long time to see the group of extraordinary beings jumping back from the water.
Under the stranglehold of nearly 30 Sequence 6 inner disciples, this Ocean Sequence 7 monster was quickly killed and defeated, and its body was slowly pulled up by several sea ships as a trophy of this voyage.
Lorraine Hill counted the number of people who went out and returned from Tianhai Pavilion. Only one person was injured, and the others were slightly injured.
"Although it's a little embarrassing, it's really powerful." The girl looked at the disciples of Tianhai Pavilion in blue and sighed. Now she had a little more confidence in this voyage.
In this way, along the way, the fleet killed two more large sea beasts.
Until today, they finally arrived at the westernmost side of the Pearl Islands. In this impending happiness, they saw the giant thing rising slowly under the afterglow of the setting sun.

The body of this giant octopus is as bright red as coagulated blood, which is terrifying. Although it has not yet risen from the sea, its long tentacles with spiral serrations have already coiled up, overturning and pulling the two warships. Get into the water.
Bang——
A volley of artillery fire was fired from the sea, hitting the bright red tentacles, but it seemed to have no effect.
Immediately afterwards, there was another volley of thunder and harpoons, and the blazing electric light rushed into the atmosphere, bringing with it the burning smell of electric fire.
The electric harpoon shot into the soft body, and the inner disciples of Tianhai Pavilion hovering in the sky also formed a formation to cast spells. A blazing blue lightning poured down from the sky and directly hit the crimson latent shadow.
