Chapter 690 691. Sea Storm
The sea hidden in the night shows a suffocating beauty of silence.
Leah squatted on the bronze argali head-butting horn like a night saber, staring nervously at the sea.
A giant figure appeared on the sea more than 200 meters away. It emerged from the sea, with countless seaweed and kelps hanging on its head. Its dark skin was even parasitic with shells, and its head had dozens of growths. There are squid-like tentacles, curled and hanging down.
Its body was round and round like a fungus creature, with its arms and body rolled together. The moment he emerged from the sea, a rich dark aura rushed towards Leah.
In the salty sea breeze, the dark atmosphere is full of the smell of death.
Leah had never seen this kind of dark creature. The seawater continued to flow along its body. It appeared on the beach in the shallow water area and was more than three meters high. It waded through the seawater step by step towards the area where the magic airships gathered.
Leah put her hands on her thighs, and a sharp badger needle was tied to the outside of her right leg. Her hands were trembling slightly.
She held her breath and studied the dark creature.
For Leia, this is a very rare opportunity to prove herself. The elf warriors on the ship went to the cliff top to set up tents at night. There were only some mixed-blood elf crew members left behind on the nine magic airships. Except for the half-blood elf warriors who were on duty at night, Outside, the ship was quiet.
She leaned down and wanted to take the opportunity to jump from the bow of the ship into the sea...
Suddenly a white hand rested on her shoulder.
Alice stood with her bare feet on Leah's hand, put a finger to her mouth, and signaled Leah to be silent.
She leaned next to Leah's ear and opened her pale pink lips:
"Don't take chances, that should be a Dark Faceless One. When I was lying in the camp tent, I heard the witcher talking about them. You can't defeat it. It will use its strong arms to hold you tightly. Tangle, and then crush all the bones in your body..."
Leah looked at Alice with an expression of 'What should we do?' in her eyes.
"Leah, you seem to have forgotten one thing. We are not alone here..."
As she spoke, Alice looked at the palm of her hand, and then a ball of holy light appeared in her hand. She threw the ball of holy light into the sea with all her strength.
A ball of light was very conspicuous in the night. The mixed-blood elf warriors on the magic airship were attracted by this ball of holy light. Everyone watched in surprise as this ball of holy light floated towards the sea. Then, under the reflection of this ball of holy light, a group of lights appeared. The figure standing only in the sea water was completely exposed...
The mixed-blood elf guard warrior standing on the watchtower on night duty immediately discovered the clues on the sea. He immediately picked up a small copper hammer hanging on the main mast and struck a copper bell hard.
‘Dang Dang Dang...’
The rapid ringing of the bell woke up the sleeping crew members on the ship. The half-blood elf warrior who was on duty at night even took out a magic flare from his waist and shot it at the black figure standing on the coastline.
The bright and soft yellow light drew a long flame tail in the air, and the flame of the magic signal flare was much brighter than Aria's ball of holy light.
On the sea surface not far away, a dark monster that looked like an octopus was covered with seaweed, standing so alone in the sea...
It did not pay attention to the magic flare, but instead stared at the ball of holy light that continued to dim and fell into the sea. Then the tentacles hanging on its face began to dance, and the dark faceless man rushed towards Alice's location. However,
Its nearly two-meter-long thigh stepped on the sea water. It ran very fast, and a cloud of mist appeared around its body...
Leah almost subconsciously blocked Alice behind her.
The half-blood elven crew members on the ship were not slow to respond. The half-blood elven crew members standing on the observation deck picked up their long bows and aimed their arrows at the Dark Faceless Man.
Some crew members who had no time to penetrate the armor ran out of the cabin and rushed to the side of the ship, occupying vantage points to observe the situation outside.
It can be seen that these elf crew members are very experienced in dealing with emergencies.
The crew members who caught up behind them were holding weapons. They distributed weapons to each crew member's hands. There were crew members behind who ran out holding leather armors...
He didn't see clearly who shot the first arrow, and then countless arrows flew towards the Dark Faceless Man.
Probably because of their great success in hunting wind snakes, this gave the crew great confidence. They felt that they could use bows and arrows to shoot the tentacle-covered monster in front of them into a hedgehog...
A hail of arrows flew out, most of them piercing the faceless man's body.
Although the faceless man was covered with arrows and looked like he was seriously injured, his running speed did not slow down at all. When he rushed to the bow of the ship, his arms stretched out seven or eight meters long. Hooking the side of the ship with both hands, his body suddenly shrank like a rubber man, and he jumped directly onto the deck.
Two tentacles wrapped around the two mixed-blood elven crew members and pulled them from the side of the ship to the faceless man. During the struggle, the two mixed-blood elven crew members threw away the elven longbows in their hands and fought with all their strength. He tried his best to break free from the entanglement of the Faceless Man's tentacles.
The other crew members also drew out their elven swords and attacked the faceless men on the deck.
At this time, Alice's whole body was filled with a faint layer of holy light. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, stood on the bow of the ship and recited a prayer. Suddenly, a beam of light fell from Alice's head, a ball of radiance. The target holy light ball appeared in front of Alice.
At this time, the faceless man twisted his body, stretched out his two tentacle-like arms, and threw the two crew members into the sea.
The Faceless Man ran for a few steps and then stretched out a tentacle towards Alice. Leah, who was squatting next to Alice, turned her body into a black mist. When her body reappeared, she was already squatting. On the left side of the Faceless Man, she inserted the Badger Wolf Needle in her hand directly into the Faceless Man's head full of tentacles.
The entire sharp dagger sank into the faceless man's body, but the faceless man only trembled violently, and then all the tentacles growing on the faceless man's chin stretched out, trapping Leah who wanted to dodge. live.
The holy light ball in Alice's hand also flew out at this moment. The holy light ball hit the faceless man's chest, and immediately burned a hole in the faceless man's chest.
The faceless man was in severe pain all over his body, and the tentacles on his body were twitching violently. Leah just took this opportunity to escape from the tentacles. She suddenly ran forward in half, and her body turned into a black mist again and disappeared into the night... …
When Leah revealed her body again, she was already standing behind Alice.
At this time, the deck was already surrounded by crew members, and a slimy black monster that looked like an octopus appeared on the deck. The monster stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and kept attacking the surrounding crew members.
However, its chest was injured, so many of its movements were greatly affected.
After leaving the sea, the faceless man's power also weakened little by little.
There were more and more mixed-blood elf crew members around, and the sharp elf swords scratched wounds on its body. These crew members all had rich combat experience, and soon the Dark Faceless Man was covered with cuts and bruises...
As a clear cry came from above, a sword dancer wearing full Thorium armor suddenly appeared on the deck. She held Seruki swords in both hands, and her body moved continuously with the swords in her hands. Move, and then stab the faceless man with the two swords in his hands.
Every movement she makes is very graceful, looking like a dancer on the battlefield.
The faceless man stretched out several tentacles, but they were cut off by the blades under the sword dancer's flying swords... As the sword dancer took a heavy step forward, she stepped on it. , Leia felt the whole ship shake slightly, and the two swords in her hands were placed on the neck of the faceless man, which was covered with tentacles.
The two long swords crossed together, like a pair of sharp scissors, and a female elf in the same posture appeared behind the sword dancer. As the two Seruki swords merged together, the faceless man's The head immediately rolled down to the deck, and the huge body like a mountain of meat also piled down with a roar, piled on the deck like a puddle of rotten meat.
A group of crew members immediately surrounded him, stabbed the faceless man's head with the elf sword in his hand, and cut off the tentacles that were still dancing randomly.
At this time, the white gryphon also took the opportunity to land on the deck, crawled to the side of the female sword dancer, and took the opportunity to peck a Tentacle of the Faceless Man that was still wriggling on the deck...
The female sword dancer put the two Seruki swords back into their scabbards, lifted up the visor on her helmet with one hand, and a bright and pretty face suddenly appeared - Sabrina.
The crew on the magic airship cheered regardless of the smelly pile of rotten meat on the deck.
Not long after, Roy and the members of the Zakarum Adventure Team also returned to the magic airship. He ordered several captains of the mine guard group to immediately strengthen the vigilance around the ship.
The corpses of the faceless men decomposed very quickly, and they had to be cleaned out this morning before the rotten flesh completely stunk.
The members of the adventure group gathered in the captain's room. In addition, there were also the captains of the nine magic airships and several captains of the mine guard group.
Roy stood next to a wall with a portrait of the Dark Faceless Man taped to it.
In addition to the dark faceless man on this portrait, there is also the Naqma demon who looks like a centaur.
A Nibru spider-man with a human upper body and a spider lower body.
A dark evil spirit with a human body and a goat's head on its neck.
Roy pointed to the four dark demons on the portrait and said to everyone:
"What just rushed onto the magic airship was a dark faceless man. It, together with the Naqma demon, the Nibru spider man, and the dark evil ghost, are known as the four dark legions of the Abyss forces."
"I just came back from the Dark Land this time. Although we didn't come into contact with the Dark Army in the Dark Land, we learned a lot of relevant information."
.
"Dark Faceless Men appear in this sea area. It is very likely that there may be a passage connected to the Dark Land somewhere on the seabed here. I guess these Dark Faceless Men legions should currently be fighting with the Sea Beast Priests in this sea area. , this can also explain why we can’t see the fish-man monsters as we move along the coastline.”
"Everyone, we may have to be more careful during our next exploration trip."
"In addition, I also hope to get some information about the Dark Faceless Man in the next exploration. After all, this is a major event closely related to our Partington plane, and all elves should pay attention to it."
< br>
"Currently, a plane war is breaking out in the Green Empire of Roland Continent. I am worried that this plane war may spread to the elven world. I hope everyone will pay attention to it."
After Roy said this information, there was silence in the captain's room. No one expected that just the appearance of a dark faceless man on the coastline would make Roy think of so many things.
After the short meeting, the officers and captains of the mine guard group left with heavy hearts.
Miss Tiffany quietly dived into the dark sea and began to conduct an inventory of this sea area...
Everyone waited until dawn, but did not see the second Dark Faceless Man.
Roy heard from the night crew on the ship that Leah had discovered the Dark Faceless Man, and then he took Leah around the coastline for a long time, but unfortunately he still didn't find anything.
After patrolling the surrounding waters, Miss Tiffany also failed to get any news about the Dark Faceless Man.
Despite this, the fleet did not return on its original route because of this setback, but continued to advance northwest along the coastline.
During this period, the Griffin Cavalry wanted to search the depths of the sea, but Roy stopped them. This behavior was tantamount to provoking the sea beast priests in the deep sea area.
Roy has seen the abilities of the second-level powerhouses. Those sea beast priests are also second-level powerhouses. They also have powerful magical contract partners like deep sea beasts. Ordinary second-level powerhouses cannot be the opponent of the sea beast priests. .
Once these gryphon cavalry encounter the sea beast priests at sea, it will be difficult for them to return alive.
The advantage of the fleet walking along the coastline is obvious. Once they meet the sea beast priest, they can quickly run to the land. The biggest weakness of the sea tribe is that once they leave the ocean, their strength will be greatly weakened.
Roy felt that Yujian's Dark Faceless Man was definitely not an accident, so the fleet was on first-level alert during this period.
The number of mixed-blood elf guard warriors patrolling at night doubled.
On the third week after the fleet left Sun Island Bay, Roy found that the fleet was heading northwest and the surrounding temperature continued to drop.
Recently, there are no tropical trees on this coastline. It has been raining for three consecutive days and the sea is very windy. The waves are only ten meters high. If a big wave hits, these three-masted sailing ships will tilt very much.
Sabrina took the risk and took a few griffin cavalry to fly high into the sky against the fierce sea wind. A group of griffin cavalry passed directly through the lightning and thunder clouds.
When we reached the high-altitude wind layer, we discovered that the clouds beneath our feet had actually gathered into a huge vortex with a diameter of several hundred kilometers.
This is a typical sea storm.
Every year after September, there are always sea storms in Castletown.
The current location of Roy's fleet is just on the edge of the sea storm...
Sabrina rides her gryphon back to the fleet, which immediately seeks shelter.
This sea area is full of long and narrow fjords, and the fleet soon sailed into a fjord with a natural deep water area.
It is very sheltered from the wind. Despite the howling winds on the sea, the wind and waves in this fjord are not too big. In addition, the Elf guards of the mine guard group on the ship have set up tents in the forest by the sea. According to the living habits of the elves, they live there. Only at the seaside do I feel safe.
As soon as the elves set up camp, storms came one after another...
Heavy rain caused flash floods to erupt in some surrounding mountains, and thousands of streams, large and small, suddenly emerged in the fjord overnight.
