Chapter 27 Omar Islands
"What did you find?"
"There is an island ahead. "
"Is it the Omar Islands?"
"I only saw one island. It shouldn't be called an archipelago, right?"
"Maybe the naming method here is special? There's no way to figure it out without asking."
I thought for a moment and said, "Order the fleet to slow down and send me a speedboat to take me over for a look."
"yes."
A few minutes later I arrived at this small island, but it was not desolate. On the contrary, it gave people a feeling of paradise on earth. There are lush trees everywhere on the island, and the surfaces of some trees are still shining with green fluorescence. What is even more surprising is that there are actually many mermaids sitting on the rocks on the shore of the island.
Seeing our appearance, the mermaids all stopped playing and turned around to stare at us warily. I asked the speedboat to stop first and walked onto the beach. Before I had even taken two steps, the sand next to me suddenly exploded, and a big mouth opened up and swallowed me in one breath.
"What?" The half-moon behind me slid off my back and quickly spun around me, and the surrounding flesh walls were cut into strips in an instant. I lifted up the shreds of flesh in front of me and crawled out, but the coast next to me was already surrounded by mermaids, but their eyes changed from wary to starry-eyed adoration.
"President, you are so great. You have won so many fans in such a short time."
"Are you sure they don't want to eat me? The mermaid's other name is Siren."
"We want to eat you." The mermaids around suddenly shouted together, and then laughed together. Now I finally know what Yinggeyanyu is. The sound made by so many lovely beauties together should be called Yinggeyanyu.
A bolder mermaid climbed a few meters to the shore, and then said to me: "Aren't you afraid of those sand toads?"
"Just that thing?"
"Yes." The cute little mermaid nodded vigorously. "Isn't it scary?"
"It's just a small role."
"You are so awesome." The little girl clapped her hands excitedly. "Then can you take me there?" The little mermaid supported her upper body with one hand and pointed to the forest with the other hand.
"Why do you want to go there?"
"For that." The little girl pointed to a red fruit falling on the ground in the distance.
I turned around and walked towards the thing, but before I could take two steps, two big holes suddenly opened in the ground. Two big mouths covered me at the same time. After two clicks, I continued to move forward without any pause, and the two mouths had been cut into four pieces. I continued to take a step forward, and another one of these things appeared. I raised my hand and cut it off with a knife. I stepped on one in almost two steps. This beach was almost full of these things, and the number was terrifying. Sure enough, I finally got that one. I took a look around. This fruit grows on those big trees, and there are quite a lot of them, hanging almost densely on the branches. However, due to the obstruction of these big mouths, the mermaid cannot get close to these trees at all.
I picked a few more fruits and walked back to the shore. The other mermaids rushed over and looked at me eagerly. I had more than a dozen fruits and I didn't know who to give them to. There are not even a thousand but eight hundred mermaids here, and it seems there are more in the sea in the distance. Because you can see many mermaids swimming towards this side.
After thinking about it, I took out three fruits and handed them to the mermaid who spoke to me first, and then handed the other fruits to the mermaids who were closer. The mermaids who got the fruit quickly ate it, but the other mermaids could only watch them swallow their saliva. I waited for them to finish eating before asking: "I gave you such a delicious fruit, shouldn't you also help me?"
"Of course, as long as we can do it. And it's not too difficult."
"It's not difficult at all. I'm just asking you for a place."
"Is it in the sea? As long as it is in the sea, there is no place we are not familiar with."
"Of course it's in the sea. This place is called the Omar Islands. Have you heard of it?"
"Of course I have." The Little Mermaid asked worriedly: "Can I ask why you want to go there? Can you not go?"
"You don't want me to go there?" I was curious why the Little Mermaid didn't want me to go there.
The Little Mermaid nodded: "You are a good person, and you help us pick fruits to eat. So I don't want you to die. The Omar Islands are the devil's city in the sea. There are no kind creatures there. You will definitely die if you go there. of."
"I'm so strong, how could I die?"
"No, the creatures on the Omar Islands are not sand toads. They are very evil and terrifying."
"I have to go, so please tell me how to get there."
"Then wait a moment." The Little Mermaid turned around and rushed into the sea. After a while, he floated up again, with a crystal ball in his hand. "Take this."
"What's this?"
"Evil creature avoider." The Little Mermaid said: "It can display the location of nearby threatening creatures. The green dot in the center represents the location of the crystal ball. The red dots are all threatening things."
I took the ball and looked at it. "Why doesn't this thing light up when I get it?"
"What? Let me see." The Little Mermaid came up to take a look, and then said in surprise: "You are so amazing!"
"Why am I so awesome?"
"When I grab it, it shows the location of the enemies that threaten me. When you grab it, it naturally shows the locations of the creatures that threaten you. But you are too strong, and most creatures cannot threaten you, so you are It’s not shown on it.”
"Why did you give me this?"
"Although the creatures here cannot threaten you, the creatures in the Omar Islands will definitely threaten you. You just need to move in that direction. When a large group of threatening creatures appears on the crystal ball, that is the Omar Islands. ”
"Thank you." I was about to walk to the battleship. Suddenly he turned back. "If I can provide this kind of fruit for a long time, will you come with me?" You guessed it right, I want to kidnap people again. Although our guild has formed an alliance with Atlantis, they will not appear in large numbers in our guild. So we also need some water service people. Although these low-level mermaids have little fighting ability, they are absolutely fine as waiters.
As soon as the mermaid girl heard that I could provide fruits for a long time, she immediately asked excitedly: "How much can you provide?"
"At least five per person per day, more if the output is high enough."
"Go, go, we will definitely go." The little girl was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Then what's your name?"
"My name is Lu'lu'da."
"Well, Lu'Luda, I'm going to ask you to help me with something now."
"Whatever it is, just say it."
"Go and help me count how many people are willing to join. I need a list. Then tell everyone to gather at our boat."
After I finished speaking, Lu'lu'da immediately took a few familiar sisters to help me count the number of people, while I asked the fleet to come closer, and then sent a team to step onto the island. Their task was to clean up the sand toads on the island shore, while I took the Elf Queen's people to look at the trees in the center of the island.
After analysis by the elves, although these trees are relatively rare, they are not difficult to plant. On the contrary, these trees are actually very easy to survive, and the reason why they do not flourish is mainly because their fruit fields are too useful. Therefore, the fruit cannot drift to other places with the waves. The plant seeds like a coconut tree. Mature coconut trees will drop the coconuts on the beach, and then follow the sea currents across the ocean to take root and sprout in the new continent. However, the fruits of this plant are not only extremely delicious, but also have the effect of increasing vitality and enhancing the power of magic. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? That's why these fruits are eaten as soon as they fall into the sea. There is simply no way it can spread to distant shores.
Now that we are sure that this is a plant that can easily bear fruit, it will be easier to handle. I released all the Qilin warriors, and then asked them to help me pick all the fruits, and also pulled out several adult fruit trees along with large pieces of soil. I have temporarily placed these adult fruit trees in the back garden of Mother Earth, and will move them out when I return. As for the fruit, the space equipment in the guild was used to temporarily store it. Anyway, this kind of space equipment is not like the Fenglong space. Its internal time is stationary. No matter how long it is left, there is no need to worry about the fruit rotting.
Because not all the mermaids wanted to join us, we did not take away all the trees, but only took away the trees in the center of the island. These mermaids couldn't get there anyway, so it would be the same for them all.
In the end, the total number of mermaids we took with us when we left was more than 20,000, but we only took away half of the number. None of the remaining half agreed to leave with us. As the first mermaid I talked to, Lu'Luda received special treatment. I directly gave her ten fruits as a reward for helping me count the people. The advantage of bringing this group of mermaids is that we have many guides, at least we don’t have to worry about the direction.
With the help of the guide, we quickly found the Omar Islands, but the mermaids were unwilling to get closer to the islands. The final result was that they were allowed to board the boat collectively. These mermaids are different from the mermaids in Atlantis. They are of a very low level and cannot even transform into human legs. Fortunately, the battleships in our guild are equipped with watercrafts to equip the two-person speedboats produced in Atlantis. warehouse. As long as you squeeze a little, these mermaids can still fit in.
As the warship continues to approach the Omar Islands. The nearby sea began to become lively.
"Look, what a beautiful fish." I was standing on the edge of the deck looking at the islands in the distance. A female member nearby suddenly pointed at the water and shouted. I looked down and saw a colorful fish swimming rapidly on the water. The girl suddenly rushed back into the cabin, and then rushed out with a fishing rod. "Hey, look at me hoisting it up."
"It's so troublesome to use." A male member showed off: "Look at me." He summoned his phoenix dragon, and then pointed into the sea. The Phoenix Dragon dived to the surface of the water, and then passed over the fish at high speed. When he pulled up again, the fish was already in his paws.
"Wow, why does your Phoenix Dragon catch fish?"
"Actually, you can do it, but you don't know it." Another member said: "The phoenix dragon found by the president was brought back from Long Island. Think about it! There must be water near the island. As the saying goes, you eat on the mountain. Mountains, close to water. Isn’t it unusual for animals living on islands to catch fish?”
As we were talking, King Chuang suddenly appeared at the fence outside the bridge and shouted to me. "Come up here, something is coming."
"What?" I spread my wings and flew onto the bridge.
"I don't know, it's just that it's very big and very fast."
"Could it be a sea monster?" I muttered.
"Didn't the mermaids say it's not safe here?" King Chuang reminded me.
I walked a few steps to the sonar guy. "Report the situation."
"The target length is more than 100 meters. It is currently 13,000 meters ahead of us. The opponent's absolute speed is 37 knots."
"What a fast speed!" I raised my head and shouted to the observation room on top of the command room: "Can you see anything up there?"
"There is only a white track."
"Order the lead reconnaissance boat to come closer and observe."
"yes."
A gate opened on the side and rear side of the Bi Ling, and then a small boat came out. As soon as I got out of the gate. The small boat jumped out at an unimaginable speed and soon rushed far ahead of us. This jet-type air-cushion speedboat has a maximum speed of seventy-three knots, which is exactly twice as fast as the Biling. It has almost no shortcomings except for its shorter range.
I grabbed the communication phone from the correspondent's hand and pressed the call switch. "Report the situation."
"This boat is approaching the target at high speed. The towed sonar shows that the target's speed has not changed, but it has turned slightly and is heading straight towards us."
"Pay attention to your own safety and continue to approach. Report the situation at any time."
"clear."
Release the call switch. I raised my head and shouted to the observation room above: "Keep an eye on the speedboat in front of me. King Chuang, order the No. 1, 2, and 3 turrets of the Eternal to load armor-piercing explosive shells, and order the No. 1, 2, and 3 turrets of this ship to load magnesium powder incendiary bombs, and ordered the Tyrant's No. 1, 2, and 3 turrets to be loaded with a strong acid solution for biological use. Ordered the entire fleet to slow down to a speed of seventeen knots and tilt the course thirty degrees to the right."
"Order confirmed. Fleet turns. …"
The huge fleet gradually slowed down on the sea and began to sail sideways. The advantage of this is that if we really want to attack, we only need to turn a little further, and the turret at the rear of the battleship will come in handy. And if there is no need to fight. A heading of thirty degrees is also easy to correct.
The speedboat in front finally approached the target. When the distance between the two sides was only seven or eight hundred meters, the speedboat changed direction and began to move sideways to the target, and the target actually immediately turned and followed. The two who were originally sailing in opposite directions suddenly turned into running in tandem, with our speedboat in front and the unknown target behind. The speedboat began to gradually slow down to a speed slightly slower than the target, so that the distance between the two began to gradually approach. When the distance narrowed to 1560 meters, the target suddenly surfaced.
Chuang Wang, who had been squatting in front of the observation mirror for a long time, screamed out. "What a big fish!"
Our target is indeed a fish, or at least it looks like one. Its appearance is nothing special. The part above the water shows a shiny black color, and there is a row of towering dorsal fins on its back.
Our speedboat regained speed, keeping the distance between the two roughly stable, and then released a boat-shaped float from the stern. This thing is only one meter long, connected to the speedboat by a cable, and has no power of its own. It is assumed that there are shouting equipment and observation instruments on this thing, which are specially used to observe dangerous creatures at close range.
As the cable was gradually lengthened, the thing gradually approached a dozen meters in front of the big fish. Our crews were able to see the big fish up close through the equipment mounted on and under this thing. This fish seems to be really nothing special except for its size. It looks like a very ordinary ocean fish. The appearance is relatively similar to herring.
We were about to use observation equipment to try to see if we could communicate with this thing, but who knew it suddenly jumped out of the water. Then a fierce thrust came down. There was just a bang and the detector behind the speedboat disappeared. At the same time, the cable connecting the detector to the hull began to roll, obviously being dragged by the fish. However, this situation did not worry us too much. That thing was originally used to observe dangerous creatures. Of course, there must be an emergency plan for this situation. As the cable completely glowed, there was only a bang, and the end of the cable exploded directly from the hull. The speedboat immediately accelerated and rushed out.
I put down the telescope and tapped the correspondent on the shoulder. "Notify the Eternal to use the No. 3 turret to 'shoot' the target."
As soon as the correspondent put down the call switch, he heard a bang from our side, and then a huge red water column suddenly appeared on the opposite sea surface. After more than ten seconds, the body of the giant fish also surfaced. The cannon was so accurate that it blew the fish's head completely away. No wonder it died without even a struggle.
I was just about to order the fleet to resume its course when I suddenly noticed that the body of the giant fish was rolling around like a boiling pot. When I picked up the telescope and looked at it, I was shocked. It turned out that those splashes were caused by a large group of small fish. After the big fish was killed, its blood flowed into the sea. Then these small fish were attracted. As the small fish there continued to fight to bite the carcass of the big fish, the sea water began to boil like a boiling pot. But when I saw that kind of fish clearly, I was shocked. Isn't this the small fish that the player's Phoenix Dragon caught just now?
In our surprised eyes, it took less than five minutes for that small fish to completely chew up a large fish more than 100 meters long into a skeleton. And the dense white bones could not sink because the small fish gathered together and were constantly crowded. It was not until several minutes later that all the small fish knew that there was nothing to eat and dispersed, and the skeleton began to gradually sink to the bottom of the sea.
"It turns out this thing is stronger than a piranha." The player who caught the fish before was in the command room. He was still holding the dead fish and looking at it while he was talking. Although this fish is very powerful when there are large numbers. But the strength of a single body is at most a level 10 monster, and it will die as soon as it leaves the water. As long as it doesn't fall into the water naked or in a small wooden boat, there is no need to worry too much about them.
After confirming that there was no danger nearby, I asked the fleet to correct its course. And the speed was restored to 24 knots, and a large number of small boats were sent out for reconnaissance to prevent encountering dangerous creatures again. I used this time to run to the lower water tank and tell the mermaids about the matter. The mermaids were not too surprised by this. What they say is that this sea area is like this. Whether it is in the water or on the shore, whether it is plants or animals, they are all very dangerous. And I also got news from them, that is, there are still a group of their close relatives living here - the sea witches.
According to the descriptions of the mermaids, sea witches belong to a unique branch, and they are completely different from the legendary sea monsters. Sirens are basically the same race as mermaids. It's just that the mermaid is gentle and kind-hearted, but the siren is cunning and cruel. Of course, this is also relative. There are some talkative ones among the sirens, that's all possible. However, the Sea Witch is different. Their relationship with mermaids is somewhat similar to the relationship between orangutans and monkeys. Although their genetic relationship is not too far apart, they are by no means the same race.
The lower body of the sea witch is basically the same as that of the mermaid. Only the upper body is a little different. Although their upper bodies have human forms. But instead of the smooth, white skin of a mermaid, there is a layer of fine scales. in addition. Mermaids all have their iconic pretty faces and long hair, but the sea witch has a pair of dark green eyeballs like fried eggs and a mouth full of sharp teeth that can reach right up to her ears. What's even more frightening is that they have not inherited the sweet singing voice of the mermaid at all, but instead have a terrifying voice that makes people want to commit suicide. Although from a biological point of view, mermaids and sea witches are very similar, from a human point of view they basically represent the two extremes of beauty and ugliness.
In fact, I don’t care if I’m ugly, or I’ll spit out my lunch at worst. The key point is that the mermaids definitely told me that the sea witch’s water magic is so powerful that it’s abnormal. It is said that the sea witch can be regarded as a level 400 combat creature when she is born. After passing through her infancy, she will immediately advance to a level 800 creature, and the completed form will be a creature of level 950 or above. It is said that the leader among them seems to be much higher than the ordinary sea witch, but no one knows her specific level.
After I heard about this sea witch race, I asked about other noteworthy dangerous creatures, but the mermaids only gave me one sentence: "Every creature on the Omar Islands is dangerous."
With this advice, I returned to the bridge. At this time, the system prompt also rang. "The mission of entering the Omar Islands is completed. The mission is now corrected to land on Omar Island, the central main island of the Omar Islands. All other members of your guild have gathered on the island. Please join forces to clear Omar after the landing is completed. All free camp dangerous creatures in the archipelago area. Special reminder: You can choose any method of eradication. As long as you make sure there is no threat in the area, the task will be considered complete."
Oh my god! The mermaids repeatedly reminded us not to get close to this place, but in the end our mission turned out to be even more perverted than getting close. The task of clearing out the entire Omar Islands is definitely not easy, at least the kind of small fish we saw before would be a headache. We can kill tens of thousands of those kinds of fish, but to kill every one of them... is easier said than done!
The name of the world's number one guild is loud enough, but this mission is a bit too perverted. Fortunately, the mission has no time limit, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle.
With a lot of questions, we finally landed safely on Omar Island. We don’t know whether it was because we had too many ships and no enemy dared to approach, or because the other party planned to let us in and kill them all. In short, we The process of entering the island was super peaceful, and we didn’t encounter anything. On the contrary, our reconnaissance ship made a clear survey of the general geographical situation nearby.
The Omar Islands are actually a ring-shaped belt composed of more than a hundred islands, large and small, and Omar Island is exactly at the center of this island ring. If it weren't for the uneven arrangement of the islands, we would have thought they were artificial islands. As the center of this area, Omar Island is also the largest island in this archipelago. Its area basically accounts for one-third of the total area of the archipelago. Additionally, we discovered that this archipelago area is actually much larger than we thought. Its ring-shaped island chain is actually very spread out, which means that the sea area enclosed within it is very large. Moreover, according to our investigation, the water depth here is very scary, reaching four to five thousand meters deep in many places. It feels like the island here is like a stone pillar standing on the seabed. There is no trace of the extension of the island shore. Basically, the beach on the shore will turn into a vertical downward terrain a few dozen meters forward. There is no transition zone.
"There's something weird about this place." King Chuang said in a deep voice while looking at the information reported back.
I slapped him aside. "You don't have to say that? Let's see what's there?" I handed over the telescope. King Chuang took the telescope and looked at it, then suddenly froze.
