Chapter 587 Fighting in the Raging Sea (1)
If it was before this, someone told Aldai that it would rain underground, and even lightning and dark clouds could be seen.
Aldai will definitely look at him with great disdain, which means don't confuse dreams with reality.
And now...
Aldai just felt like shit.
The rain was like a hanging rope, falling from the sky without warning, directly pouring down the three people on the deck from head to toe.
These crystal ships have no cabins. The so-called bridge part only has the stern raised and a steering wheel made of the same crystal material. Other than that, there is nothing else.
The good news is that there are drainage facilities on the deck, which are high in the middle and low on both sides. When rainwater falls, it will naturally flow to the sides of the ship and then out through the drainage holes.
The bad news is that the rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier, raising concerns about whether the drainage holes will survive.
This is obviously not a suitable day to go to sea, but there is no way, the arrow has to be fired.
Aldee tried to use magic to stop the rain from pouring herself into a drowned rat, but the rain was too heavy and it didn't work at all.
The impact of heavy rain on sightlines is even more disastrous.
Since the heavy rain fell, the three of them had completely lost their way. At first, they could vaguely see through the rain curtain the torches or magic lights lit by the boats chasing behind them, but soon these lights were also submerged in the rain. What? Can't see it.
The sky and the sea seemed to merge into one, and the ship seemed to be sailing in the darkness that could not be seen, as if it would be swallowed up in the next moment.
The only illumination is the lightning that flashes across the sky from time to time. It may illuminate the surroundings for a moment, but this light is too short-lived and the brightness is too high. It often reflects a large bright spot on the water surface, making it difficult to see clearly. What exactly is around you?
In this environment, the lack of light was obviously very dangerous. Aldai wiped the rain off her face and had to raise her staff.
A striking light ball was launched to the mast, and a bright light immediately lit up.
This is the daylight spell. As you can see from the literal meaning, it is a spell that emits strong light. However, it is generally not used for lighting, but to deal with some creatures that are sensitive to light.
There is no way, in this environment, the commonly used light spell or dancing light spell will not work at all, and the brighter daylight spell can only be used.
The light ball hanging on the mast successfully illuminated the surroundings of the crystal ship. The light passed through the light blue crystal and illuminated the water surface as if it had a dreamy quality.
"Over there! Shoot the arrow!"
Then came the spoiler.
When the light source was lost, no one knew who was where, and even doubted whether they would drift back to the dock with the current.
But when Aldai lights up, she immediately becomes the brightest kid in the room.
Unknowingly, a ship of wild bear mercenaries had chased them nearby and immediately discovered them. They summoned the people on the deck and a wave of arrows washed away the ground.
This sounds dangerous, but in fact it is just a mouthful of joy.
The arrow was only halfway through flying when it was swept back by the strong wind blowing from the side. Even if there were a few stray bullets by chance, they could not even touch the side of Aldai's ship and fell into the water. .
But to be honest, it is not easy for Aldai to fight back.
After all, the sea surface is too bumpy now. It takes a lot of effort just to stand, let alone cast a spell in such a bumpy situation. It took Aldai two or three times to use the daylight spell light ball. .
At this time, Nemea, who was controlling the rudder, shouted loudly:
"Hold on tight!" Under the light, the water turned from pitch black to light gray and suddenly a huge wave crest rose, and Aldai's ship just sailed onto the wave crest.
If you go up, you will naturally come down, and the undulating water waves will not wait for you to slowly drive down.
As if being thrown up, the entire ship was thrown into the air, and then hit the water with a heavy bang.
Although on the surface this ship is made of crystal, in fact it just looks like crystal. In fact, who knows what materials the elves used in the first place. If it falls like this, the wooden ship will fall apart long ago, and this crystal ship is nothing. No.
But just because the boat is okay doesn't mean the people are okay.
Only Zola was strong enough to hold on to the winch that controlled the sail. Neemia and Aldee were slapped directly on the deck, and their whole bodies hurt as if they were broken.
Even if they were lucky, many of the wild bear mercenaries who had just tried to fire arrows at Aldai and the others had already been thrown from the ship into the sea because of their flight.
"Is everything okay? Has anyone broken a bone? I still have some magic power and can cast healing spells."
"I'm fine, just my head...ah, my horn seems to be broken!"
Tieflings are also very concerned about the horns on their heads. Nemea even waxes them carefully every day. I wonder if the healing magic can reattach them if they are broken.
Aldai didn't seem to have any fractures, but she would definitely have bruises after being thrown. She was about to speak when she heard a loud bang.
Quickly getting up, Aldai saw the bow of a crystal ship that had just hit the left rear of their ship.
Through the light and the lightning that flashed across the sky from time to time, one could clearly see a large group of dense spiders crawling in their direction along the point where the two ships came into contact.
Let's put it this way, it has the beauty of a march of cockroaches, and goosebumps will rise on the back of the neck of anyone watching it.
Aldai quickly raised her palm to face the crawling spider, and sticky flames immediately spurted out from her palm. The scorched spider was mixed with the heavy rain and washed off the boat.
Low-level spells like Burning Hands have little impact, after all, there are only a few spell-casting gestures.
In the darkness illuminated by the flames, Aldai saw a huge black shadow on the other side's ship. The spider elf stretched out its eight legs and approached the side of the ship. It even charged up a little, as if it was about to jump over with a big jump.
In this case, it would be troublesome if the spider elves were allowed to board the ship.
By the way, are you drows sick? Why are you staring at us?
At this moment, complaints and various countermeasures flashed through Aldai's mind, but just when the spider elf was about to take off, a roar fell from above the dark clouds.
--hold head high!
This voice was impossible to admit.
It's a dragon, and no creature can imitate a dragon's roar.
The next moment, a huge creature passed through the dark clouds full of lightning and entered the lighting range of daylight.
It was a black dragon covered in black scales, about ten meters long, and with blood-red eyes.
However, this black dragon seemed to have been knocked down from above. It did not appear to be in a normal flying position, but with its back down and its belly facing up. Its huge wings were wrapped around the black dragon's body like a cloak. Maybe the wings He was injured and could not continue flying.
Let's not talk about where this dragon came from. By coincidence, it hit the drow's ship without missing a beat, and it pushed it into the water almost instantly.
But I don’t know if it was an illusion. At the moment when the black dragon hit the drow’s ship, Aldai, who was lying on the side of the ship, seemed to see the paladin Andy and others, who had met once before, standing in front of the black dragon. on the belly...
