Chapter 076 Sea Beast
"Whoosh~~~"
The pitch-black arrows roared with the sound of breaking through the air.
Gawain was about to dodge, but found that the arrow was not aimed at him, but at the sea shark beneath him. His face darkened, knowing that it was Father Damian who did not want him to escape.
That way the opponent will bear Kisamejima's attack alone.
It was too late for him to use [Water Barrier], so he quickly rushed towards the incoming arrow, and the black wand in his hand turned into a one-handed sword, and he swung it across his chest.
"Bang!"
The corrosive arrow hit the sword body and instantly collapsed. Gawain was also staggered by the powerful impact.
He accidentally kicked and fell into the sea water.
"Mr. Gawain~~"
Lilith exclaimed, and Gawain quickly said:
"Don't let the sea shark be frightened!"
Lilith reacted and continued to blow the sea shark whistle.
Gawain also swam over quickly, stretched out his hand to pull the scabbard handed by Lilith, and with a little help, jumped onto the back of the sea shark. Without even having time to take a breath, he immediately took out a small handful of steel balls and launched towards the ghost ship. Metal missile]:
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of steel balls were fired. Although Father Damian was not injured, the opponent was so beaten that he did not dare to show his head. He could only lie down on the deck and let the two go away with a gloomy face.
"alright!"
When the sea shark moved away from the ghost ship, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened his mouth and blew a whistle. After receiving the order, the five red-eyed crows spread their wings and flew away from the ghost ship. The four-meter-tall skeleton giant also jumped from the deck.
Sunk in the Earthsea.
Five crows flew over quickly, but the giant skeleton was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm afraid... I won't be able to come back!"
Gawain sighed, no longer caring about the other party, and quickly communicated with the sea shark to adjust the direction, and swam all the way east. He turned around and looked around, and found that except for the thick gray fog, there was only the vast sea water.
There was a feeling in my heart that was as small as dust.
Lilith next to her pointed at the thick gray fog: "There are several fishmen there who are chasing us on sea sharks and are staring at us from a distance."
Gawain raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Anyone wearing a robe?"
"It seems not."
After hearing this, Gawain felt relieved and reached out to point in the distance:
"Go, kill them all!"
"Quack~~"
Five red-eyed crows took off one after another, rushing into the gray fog like sharp arrows. There were faint screams in the distance, which quickly subsided. Not long after, they flew back with the smell of blood all over their bodies.
Gawain used [Control Water Flow], stretched out his hand to attract sea water, and helped clean them one by one.
Lilith looked on with envy.
"Ang~~~"
At this moment, a dull low roar came from the front, and the calm sea surface seemed to suddenly boil. Waves of waves crashed in. The sea shark's body rose and fell with the waves, and the two people on its back could not stand. stable.
Five crows flew up in panic.
Lilith screamed and fell into the sea water, and was about to be swept away by the waves.
Gawain barely managed to stabilize his body, and hurriedly used [Mage's Hand] to grab Lilith's arm, and with a strong force, he pulled her back to the sea shark's back.
Lilith was in shock, and the sea shark underneath her body twisted uncomfortably.
"Beep~~~"
Gawain whistled the sea shark hard, but still could not calm the sea shark.
Lilith screamed: "Mr. Gawain, there must be a sea beast ahead, probably attracted by the smell of blood..."
"Ang~~~~"
Before he finished speaking, the sea exploded.
Sea Shark, Gawain, and Lilith were thrown into the air at the same time along with a large amount of sea water.
Gawain was horrified. When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw a ferocious giant leaping out of the water and swallowing them. Its open mouth was more than twice as big as a five-meter-long sea shark.
At the critical moment of life and death, Gawain felt that time had slowed down.
He used [Controlling Water Flow] almost instantly, stepped on a mass of sea water under his feet, and actually used the force to jump up and catch Lilith above his head.
After taking two more steps to avoid the big mouth, he plunged into the sea.
"Ang~~~"
The huge figure swallowed up the sea shark in one gulp and dived underwater again.
When the water calmed down completely, Gawain and Lilith emerged from the water one after another and looked at each other with lingering fear.
Lilith wiped the seawater from her face, her voice trembling:
"Mr. Gao... Gao Wen, what should we... do next?"
"The dangers of Earthsea are far greater than imagined."
Gawain sighed. The ghost ship traveled without incident. He thought that with the help of sea sharks, it would be easy to reach the east coast, but he did not expect that the mission was not successful and he was almost killed by the beast.
He pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea:
"We are currently unable to cross the Earth Sea. The nearest place is Kisame Island. The only way we can go is to return to Kisame Island and then look for opportunities to go to sea."
"Swim over?"
"No, I have a way."
Gawain called back:
"Xiao Hei Xiao Hei, come out quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a conspicuous water trail swam from a distance, came closer in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared into the water in an instant. Gawain felt a stick appear under him, and his body was immediately lifted up by the stick.
"Hiss~~"
The head of the Shadow Snake emerged from the sea, released the crocodile skin case it was holding, and screamed at Gawain.
"very good!"
"good!"
Gawain took the crocodile suitcase, praised him a few words, and then said to Lilith:
"It's not safe in Earthsea, let's leave as soon as possible."
"good!"
Lilith swam over and sat down behind Gawain.
The Shadow Snake picked up the two of them and swam quickly in the direction of Guiyu Island. Gawain looked up at the sky and did not see the red-eyed crow. He knew that it must have been frightened and then flew away.
He was a little worried that they would be lost in the sea of earth, so he took the opportunity to cast [Summon Crow].
"Mr. Gawain."
Lilith hugged Gawain's waist from behind, her voice trembling with excitement: "You...you saved me again. Ever since I was a child, no one has ever been so kind to me. No one has ever been so kind to me. I... I don’t even know how to repay you.”
"It's just a little effort."
Gawain gave a perfunctory sound, and a strange wave spread around. Not long after, five red-eyed crows flew back one after another, surrounding two people and one snake, and headed towards Guiyu Island.
The Shadow Snake's perception in the water is very keen, and when it encounters danger, it can always avoid it in advance.
More than half an hour later, Kisame Island was already in sight.
Gawain recalled the topography of Guiyu Island and ordered:
"Go around and go ashore from the black thorn forest to the north."
"Hiss~~"
The Shadow Snake responded, quickly circling around, and not long after, it brought the two of them close to Kisame Island. As the misty black rain fell, it left water stains on the two of them.
"go!"
Gawain waved his hand, and five crows flew over the cliff and towards the woods above. After killing several beasts, they quickly occupied a small area.
Gawain and Lilith then landed and easily climbed the cliff more than ten meters high.
Enter the Blackthorn Forest.
He looked around and found that the black thorn tree was a black and strong hard-barked tree. There were no leaves on the tree, and the branches and trunk were covered with slender spikes.
If you dare to run in the forest, you will be stabbed like a hedgehog.
He remembered that the robed murlocs had said that there were few murloc activities in the Black Thorn Forest and the rocky cliffs to the west of Guiyu Island, and that there were Dikla murlocs settling in other places.
Moreover, the dwarf Tok seems to be hiding in this forest of unknown size.
Gawain wiped the water on his face and said thoughtfully: "We probably didn't attract the attention of the fishmen when we went to the island. Why not settle here first, then inquire about the news on the island, and then look for an opportunity to hijack a ghost ship and leave."
"I listen to you."
Lilith nodded in agreement without thinking.
Gawain walked around and found no suitable place to stay in the woods, so he simply retreated and used a sharp one-handed sword to carve out a cave on the cliff to barely shelter from the rain.
Had something to eat in the cave.
Change into dry clothes.
Gawain took out a crow feather from his pocket and turned into a crow in the blink of an eye. He spread his wings and landed on the back of Crow No. 7, speaking human words:
"You rest in the cave first, and I'll go out for a walk."
“Qua~~”
Without waiting for Lilith to reply, Crow Seven carried Gawain and flew out of the cave. He quickly climbed up and came to the sky above the Black Thorn Forest. Gawain ordered Crow Seven to hover in the air.
Take the opportunity to observe for yourself.
