Xia Ye didn't care about the situation on the boat and asked first, "Where is my head?"
"This cat is keeping it for you."
The tentacle rummaged in his stomach for a while, then pulled out her head and threw it to her.
Xia Ye took the intact head and placed it on her neck. As the magic power was connected, the girl blinked her eyes and showed a beautiful smile to Xiuji: "It's much better now."
After all, I had always carried my head, but suddenly it was gone, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Behind me!" Xiu Ji shouted.
Xia Ye hurriedly bent down, brushed her hair with his tentacles and swept over, pulling a seven-leafed beast behind her off the deck.
Beside him, Yaha also released the "Red Knight" state and said to one person and one cat: "Let's go back to the cab first!"
After saying that, she strode towards the bridge. Xia Ye and Xiuji hurriedly followed. Another feller came over immediately to fill the gap left by Xiuji's departure.
According to Yahab's previous order, fellers were arranged on the front and rear decks, but there were too many seven-leaf beasts, and they came one after another, seemingly endless. Their body parts were scattered all over the deck, mixed with the blood of injured crew members.
Xiuji has always maintained his tentacle form, and from time to time he will fly away the seven-leafed beast that dares to approach, or bite it in one bite, chew it twice, and then spit the shapeless limbs on the deck.
"Have you had a bad appetite recently?"
"It's not that this cat has a bad appetite!" Xiuji explained while chewing, "It's because the moth beast has too little magic power in its body, just like...just like your plant called 'sugar cane', the juice inside After chewing, you can’t swallow the remaining bagasse, right?”
"...What you said makes sense."
After walking and eating all the way, the two of them and the cat quickly returned to the bridge. The place had not been invaded by moth beasts for the time being, and Xiu Ji finally changed back to his cat form.
"Xiu Ji..." Xia Ye suddenly remembered something.
"Meow?"
"Go back to my room and get me a new sailor suit. I want the white stocking set."
"Ah meow~ If you don't tell me, I didn't even notice that your clothes are gone."
"Actually, I just noticed..."
Of course, the body that had just been resurrected from the egg had no clothes on it, but since the witch didn't care about such things at all, no one mentioned it. In the end, even Xia Ye herself almost forgot about it.
The so-called "Emperor's New Clothes" probably feels like this.
Yaha glanced at Xia Ye and Xiu Ji, expressing his incomprehension that they still bothered to discuss clothes at such a critical moment:
"It's okay if you don't wear it. Your cat has this free time, why not go to the deck and help."
She didn't say it was okay, but when she said Xia Ye started to care, she quickly blocked it with her hands:
"How can you not wear it?! Pervert! Don't look at it!"
Yaha looked at the blushing Xia Ye inexplicably, shook his head helplessly, and walked to the cab first.
…
In the cab, the chief engineer was taking command instead of Yaha.
Because at this time, the first mate was fighting on the deck with his chopper, and Tang Li was monitoring the movements of the seven-leaf beast and the whale group. Therefore, according to the principle of order, the chief engineer can only do the thing she is least good at.
"Full right rudder...heading due east...forward four meows~"
"Engineer...be careful not to...let the moth beast...block...the thruster...the air inlet...it will stall, meow~"
"Second mate...report the whale group...location, meow~"
For some unknown reason, ever since he turned into a cat witch, the chief engineer has unconsciously added the word "meow~" at the end of every sentence, which cannot be omitted even at such a tense moment...
Xia Ye couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
Hearing laughter, the chief engineer turned his head and saw Yaha and Xia Ye walking into the cab.
"Ah... you're okay... that's great, nya~"
"Yes." Yaha nodded, "Go to the engine room quickly. I will take command here."
"Okay meow~"
The chief engineer looked relieved, and even the triangular cat ears on her head shook happily. She responded and hurried to the engine room at the stern of the ship.
Yaha took over and started issuing a barrage of orders, while Xia Ye sat idle on the chart table, waiting for Xiu Ji to bring the clothes.
Although the fight on the deck was fierce, she had no intention of helping - after all, a delicate and beautiful girl like herself couldn't even carry a saw, how could she chop down a moth beast?
As for "Thunder Feather"? If you don't lock it, it's easy to accidentally injure the crew, and locking it takes too much energy, and it's really troublesome... Besides, I'm a shipowner, and I'm supposed to be the one who just sits there and collects money. Even if I occasionally show mercy and help, I can't take care of everything. ?
In short, now is not the time for the powerful, kind, and super invincible and cute Lord Xia Ye to take action.
"First mate, how's the situation on the deck?!"
On the other side, Yaha finally found someone to contact the first officer and asked her to report the situation to her through the microphone in the engine room.
"It's very bad. From the beginning, the Seven-leaf Beast's attack suddenly became much more ferocious. Five of the fellers have lost their combat effectiveness, and the rest have also been injured."
"Where is the beluga carcass at the stern of the boat? Is it still intact?" Yaha asked again.
"It's intact... I should say it's very intact. I don't know why, but those seven-leafed beasts were not interested in the whale carcass at all, and they all kept pouring onto the deck."
"..."
Yaha frowned and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. What she was most worried about was that the white whale would be eaten clean, but then she realized that these seven-leaf beasts had no interest in such a large piece of magic power, and instead focused all their attacks on the whaling ship.
"It's as if they have a specific goal..." the first mate said unintentionally, but Xia Ye, who was listening in, suddenly felt bright.
"ah!"
She thought of one thing: "Those seven-leafed beasts might be coming for me..."
"Just because you broke their wall?" Yaha felt that Xia Ye was overthinking.
"No, no, no..." Xia Ye shook her head repeatedly, "It's because of another thing."
At this time, Xiu Ji ran back with the clothes she wanted in his mouth, so she jumped off the chart table and explained while putting on clothes:
"These seven-leaf beasts don't look very smart. If they don't act instinctively, but act with purpose, then can we guess that there is a higher-level moth beast giving them instructions? "
"A more advanced moth beast? You mean...that one?" Yaha somewhat understood what Xia Ye meant.
"Yes, it was the moth beast that sucked up an entire pod of whales. Didn't it still want to attack our ship? But I stopped it... Oh, by the way, I even provoked it a little bit. .”
"Provocation? What on earth did you do?" Yaha had never heard of such a thing before.
Xia Ye showed a cute smile: "It's not a big deal. I just said to it: 'Come on, come and bite me~', and then the other party seemed to understand and stretched out a tentacle to attack me. The result was not only It failed, and the tentacle was eaten by Xiuji."
Yaha: "..."
First Mate: "Miss Xia Ye, you are amazing...in every sense of the word."
"In short..." Xia Ye continued, "If my guess is correct, then either I will die or all the seven-leaf beasts will die, otherwise the attack will not stop...
"Of course it is impossible for me to die, so I have to ask all the seven-leafed beasts to die~"
"What are you going to do?"
"Didn't I tell you that I have a 'trump card'?" Xia Ye said with a smile, "Let the chief engineer enter 'synchronous enhancement'. I'm afraid it will affect the ship later."
Yaha nodded and immediately issued the order. After a while, translucent curves covered the Moby Dick.
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
After Xia Ye finished speaking, she crushed the "Feather of Thunder" and turned into a bolt of lightning and flew out of the cab. She hovered directly above the Moby Dick. Looking down from here, she could see the densely packed seven-leafed beasts like a white tide, almost engulfing the entire ship.
Just a few seconds later, the seven-leaf beasts noticed Xia Ye's existence. They changed their targets and swarmed towards the girl.
Xia Ye looked at them, smiled softly, and whispered the name of the contract in witch script:
"Crack"
The next moment, all the seven-leafed beasts passed through her body, as if what they encountered was just a phantom.
She entered a state of "exile."
At the same time, a crack——
A much larger crack than Xia Ye expected appeared near the dome.
This fissure is several kilometers long.
