"Quick, everyone get ready!"
Marco, wearing the same jacket as Black Jack, led his pirate gunners to receive new bullets from the machine craftsman Aronillo.
Since he separated from Wayne, he was appointed by Black Jack as the captain of the ninth team based on the bullet blueprint. In addition to the Mosquera people who followed him out of Custer City State, there are also several people who are good at using muskets. pirate.
Therefore, their ninth team was nicknamed "The Musketeers" by other pirates.
After twenty days, Marco decided to modify all the muskets in the team to adapt to the new bullets after discussing with the mechanical craftsmen.
Although the workload was huge and the process was very difficult, subsequent training showed that the power of the new muskets and bullets was almost doubled.
After understanding the effects of the firearm modification, Black Jack also ordered other pirates who used muskets as their main weapons to modify them to improve their overall strength.
In this way, the "Musketeers" of the Ninth Squadron had a firm foothold on the Bekli, and it also gave Marco some confidence in the future.
"Captain, you must pay attention to your position in the stormy waters, especially us gunners."
A pirate gunner who had been on the Bekli for several years stood at the edge of the mast at the stern, tied a cable around his waist, and then fastened his shoes to the protruding buckles on the deck.
Marco looked at his movements and couldn't help but wonder: "Dax, doesn't this fix yourself? If you are in danger..."
The waves and clouds in the Cordo Sea are treacherous, not to mention the current storm that is blocking the sky. Once a deep-sea abnormality gets close, the buckles under the feet and the cables on the body are likely to lock oneself.
"Believe others!" Dax's dark face showed two rows of white teeth, and he said with a smile: "This is not what I said, but what Boss Jack and First Officer Lotilia said. Look at what we have The locations of other teams around..."
Marco followed his gaze and saw that the other three teams assigned to the stern were evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the ship, surrounding them in the middle.
He vaguely understood that this was to protect their ninth team?
"Most of the combatants on the deck have extraordinary bloodlines that have strengthened their bodies. Others with weak bodies are either mechanical gunners in the cabin, or gunners like us who need to be protected."
After fixing his body firmly on the deck, Dax then checked the musket to load bullets and made final preparations.
"Captain, we will rely on you to protect us when we fight later."
Marco nodded, waved the lantern staff a few times, and said solemnly: "I will!"
This is the first time he has experienced such a naval battle after being at sea for so long.
The last time he saw Wei En, he was just a bystander. He could only watch the projection of the Lord of Dawn slowly appearing in the sky, silently accepting his own weakness.
But now, he has positioned himself correctly - since his strength is low, he should work harder to catch up with the people in front!
This was also the main reason why he chose to go to sea in the first place!
"Marco!"
At this time, Walid flashed over, without the usual awkward smile on his face. He took out a space ring with a serious look and said: "The [explosion sniper rifle] made by Wei En has arrived. Hurry and assign it to Dak." Let them get familiar with it before entering the sea!"
There are a total of sixteen [explosion sniper rifles]. Except for the six Milus bought with his own money, the other ten gunmen who can use spiritual power to activate the runes on the guns are all assigned to Marco's team.
"The sniper rifle has arrived?"
Marco's eyes lit up. He still remembered the scene when Wayne used a sniper rifle to kill the deep-sea deformed mutant. It was so powerful!
"Also, be sure to follow the instructions. I will cooperate with Boss Jack at the helm of the ship to direct the battles of each team."
"clear!"
After Walid left, Marco quickly took out the [Explosion Sniper Rifle] without letting the pirate gunmen who had fixed their positions gather. He directly handed the guns to everyone one by one.
"The new weapons have arrived, hurry up and get familiar with them!"
"Very good!"
“After waiting for so long, it’s finally here!”
Those gunners who were very satisfied with the weapons in their hands just now put their short-handled muskets into their holsters, holding the newly acquired [Explosion Sniper Rifle], and couldn't wait to try it out.
"Hey, why do I feel like this gun is different from the one the previous one had?"
"There's an extra sight, wow, it's so clear—"
"I just tried it. I can see at least ten kilometers away, which is far beyond the range of my mental perception."
"How about giving it a try?"
boom!
A crisp gunshot made Marco and others stunned. They looked at each other and realized that the gun was not fired from here.
"It's those bastards from Milus. They must be testing guns too! Let's come too!"
"Captain, help us find a target!"
"good!"
Marco nodded, jumped to the observation deck, looked at the violent sea ahead, glanced a few times, found a deep-sea abnormal mutant that kept stirring on the sea surface, and shouted: "On the left, eight kilometers away, the target... "
Bang, bang, bang...
Before he finished speaking, the ten gunmen had already completed their aiming and shooting actions.
The rune power on the [Explosion Sniper Rifle] shines brightly, and the two runes of rapidity and explosion act on the bullets. At the same time, the attached bullets with death pollution characteristics penetrate the body of the deep-sea deformed mutant in the blink of an eye.
"Roar--"
I saw the terrifying aberrant creature waving several tentacles in the distance. After being penetrated by bullets, pustules spread rapidly, and part of its body withered strangely. There was also the explosion effect of exploding runes on its body. There were bloody holes left on the ground.
The next second, its body, which was comparable to a sloop, flopped down on the sea.
Mosquera's eyes widened, "F*ck, he's dead?!"
"A deformed creature whose destructive power in the sea is comparable to that of a director-level extraordinary person, didn't survive a round of fire?"
"This power is too terrifying!"
Seeing this scene, Marco's handsome face flashed with excitement. He swayed his head and looked around, quickly finding the next suitable target.
"Quick, once again, only five people can shoot this time."
He wanted to test the power of the sniper rifle specifically to see how many gunmen it would take to kill a director-level abnormality.
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Marco couldn't help but be excited. With the blessing of these sniper rifles, he, the captain of the ninth team, could truly gain a foothold on the Bekli.
In this way, he has no worries and can fully improve his strength.
Or, break away from the Bekli and become a captain like Black Jack!
While Marco and others were intensively testing the [Explosion Sniper Rifle], Black Jack and Euan on the bow also made new discoveries.
"The black carriage, is it really a carriage?"
Black Jack's rugged face had a stern expression, and his cold eyes looked at the center of the storm in the distance, "I thought that was the name of a ship."
Euan did not respond to his black humor, frowned slightly and said, "Jack, something is wrong."
"Huh? Did you find anything?"
"No, I just think the storm sea area is too quiet."
"Quiet?"
Black Jack was stunned and observed carefully.
But unlike Euan, who is a spiritual wizard with strong spiritual power, he looked at it for a while and still found nothing.
"Did you see it wrong? Except for the carriage and the so-called gravedigger driving it, everything else is the same as a normal storm scene."
"Besides, it's chaotic, noisy, lightning and thunder, how can you say it's quiet?"
Euan glanced at him and said angrily: "You only see these superficial things?"
"Just tell me what you found."
"I'm still watching, but..."
You An vaguely sensed that the stormy sea area was unusual.
According to the results of the last call, the people on the Araniga should be with these gravediggers.
Moreover, during this period, the Black Pearl also found many ships to follow the moving storm sea area. Where were those ships?
Unless someone consciously cleans up those exploration ships.
So their purpose...
"Jack, my advice is, don't enter that sea area for the time being. I doubt..."
Before they finished speaking, the two men suddenly looked to the side and behind.
"It seems your suspicion has come true." Black Jack stared in that direction indifferently, "It's the Araniga!"
"Suad?"
Youan frowned. With his strength and mental perception range, he was actually invaded within two hundred kilometers.
"not him!"
Black Jack shook his head, looked at the five-masted sailing ship that slowly appeared in the field of vision, and said solemnly: "That is Domitri Pruitt, the first mate of the Aranica, the Ripper!"
"Pruit? The one I know?"
"It's him! You should still remember what happened that year, right?"
Euan recalled for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Black Jack and said narrowly: "It seems that we can't run away this time. He won't let us go easily."
"You can still laugh..."
Black Jack curled his lips, but thought about what happened when he was young, and laughed, "But you are right, you cannot enter that sea area, Walid!"
"Boss?"
"Full right rudder!"
"Full right rudder!"
Walid motioned to the helmsman beside him to do as he was told, muttering to himself.
No more going into the storm?
But just as the Bekli hurriedly turned its bow to get away from the storm and the Araniga that was surrounding it from behind, a crash suddenly came from the bottom of the ship.
"boom!"
The entire Bekli ship shook violently and was almost overturned by the impact!
"what's the situation?"
"Look there!"
As the impact sounded, a terrifying-looking monster slowly emerged from the sea, dragging dozens of huge tentacles covered with spikes. The tentacles surrounded the middle head, and the scarlet single eye stared at it unblinkingly. The Bekli number is like looking at a small toy.
"Fuck, that bastard even found a monster from the deep sea!"
"This is a bit bad..."
Black Jack stood firmly on the deck, not affected by the impact at all.
But the pirates behind him were caught off guard and almost threw away their weapons.
"Damn, what attacked?"
"It's a deep sea monster, hurry up, open the magic circle!"
"Until then, no one should look directly at that monster!" Black Jack yelled, then looked towards the cabin behind, "Waleed!"
"I know!"
Walid looked solemn in the cab, took out the "Forbidden Object 2-14 Storm Horn" and blew it hard.
Woo——
As the dull horn sounded, new clouds quickly gathered over the Bekli, vaguely connected to the stormy sea in the distance.
As this dark cloud appeared, Walid's body was entangled with strange original power, and at the same time, there was a ghostly shadow attached to his body.
"wind!"
Walid waved the storm horn, and the phantom of the resentful spirit looked up to the sky and roared, and a rune array flashed out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, under the influence of the magic circle, the speed of the Bekli beneath him suddenly increased. Even the waves affected by the storm seemed like flat ground, without any impact on the ship.
Buzz——
At the same time, the rune array on the ship was also opened simultaneously, making all the pirates who were threatened by the deep sea monsters breathe a sigh of relief.
Euan raised his head and looked at the newly emerged deep sea monster, "I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
"Is it the one on Darkman Island?" Black Jack thought for a moment, "I remember it was the one I met Wayne before..."
"It seems that the power of the Twilight Sect in the sea is more terrifying than imagined."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. If we don't block it, we can't leave!"
With that said, Black Jack activated his original power, "Fez, Ti, Minxi!"
His tall body expanded rapidly, each vertebrae bulged, the ribs on his chest turned outwards and became thicker, and the tiny muscles entangled around and covered the bones...
The next second, he turned into a terrifying sea dragon that was comparable in size to the deep sea monster, blocked in front of the Bekli, and rushed towards the deep sea monster.
"Roar--"
"Euan, you take them first, I will rush over later!"
"Tsk!"
Euan shook his head, still so reckless.
However, the current situation is critical, and Black Jack's extraordinary bloodline is indeed more suitable for fighting on the sea.
At this moment, a figure emerged from the five-masted sailboat that was getting closer and closer to the side and rear.
"Hahaha...Jack, why did you run when you saw me?"
"Domitri the bastard!"
Hearing that voice, Black Jack cursed angrily and roared: "Go to hell!"
"Don't be so angry," the figure who quickly chased over said playfully, "For you, I specially found a big monster. How about I treat you?"
"damn it!"
"You concentrate on dealing with that monster, and leave the crybaby in the back to me."
Crybaby?
Domitri, who was pursuing from behind, paused and quickly scanned the Bekli, and soon found the figure standing on the bow of the ship.
"Euan?! Why is it you?!"
"Domitri Pruitt, long time no see."
Euan looked at Domitri coldly. Even though he was hundreds of kilometers away, he could still clearly see the surprise on his face.
"Ho ho... we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's great to be able to kill him this time!"
…
…
Wei En didn't know what happened in the stormy sea. At this time, he was concentrating on drawing a spell rune.
[You successfully drew the Howl of Fear rune. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】
"The hundredth rune..."
Wei En looked at the new runes that could add points on the panel, and then upgraded the Howl of Fear rune to the full level.
[Terror Howl Rune Level 1 (1/1), should it be improved? 】
【promote! 】
【……】
[Congratulations, your rune knowledge: the Howl of Fear rune has been upgraded to the full level. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】
[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your rune proficiency promotion progress is: 100/100. Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】
[Congratulations, your rune proficiency has been successfully promoted to rune proficiency: 0/1000. Special rewards: Survival Points +20, Resilience Level +6, Spirit Level +6. 】
As the level of runes on the panel changed to proficiency level, a huge amount of runes knowledge poured into his mind.
"The content is much less than the entry-level knowledge last time..."
Although there is also a lot of knowledge about runes at the proficient level, it is only half of the entry-level knowledge.
With Wei En's current spiritual level and original strength, he had mastered one-tenth of this knowledge as soon as he entered it, and he was still absorbing the remaining content at a terrifying speed.
"Knowing everything, it seems that the decision to study and absorb the introductory runes knowledge every day was correct."
Wei En looked through some contents. Compared with the entry-level rune knowledge, the proficient-level rune knowledge only has some more rune patterns and the layout of the rune array.
The Wails of the Undead, the Prison of the Undead, the Ice Storm, the Path of Fire...the rune patterns, as well as the methods and origins of drawing these runes, etc., were all clearly reflected in his mind.
After reading through the knowledge in his mind, Wei En took out a rune array pattern from the space ring, looked at the complex patterns and nodes on it, and murmured:
"In this way, I will be more certain about the layout of the magic circle."
The pattern of this rune array is inspired by [Ironheart Rager]. According to the simplest rune arrangement, it adds weakening runes that weaken physical strength and mental power, as well as a poison rune.
As long as he is within the coverage of this magic circle, he can not only enhance his own defense capabilities through the power of the Solid Heart Rune, but also weaken the enemy. At the same time, he can also activate the furious burst and cooperate with the blood boiling spell to further enhance his explosive power.
There are only four major rune powers and thirty-two rune nodes...
"It can be improved a bit."
Among the newly acquired proficient-level rune knowledge, there is a rune array diagram from the third era. It is a pattern similar to a six-pointed star, which can superimpose six kinds of rune powers to form a new rune array.
Wei En thought for a few seconds and gave up the plan.
Firstly, after adding two runes, the design and testing will have to be re-deduced, which will take more time.
Secondly, if you really want to use the new rune array, it will make the arrangement more difficult and increase the risk of being discovered.
Moreover, the list of materials previously provided to Teresa must be overturned and redone...
Thinking of this, Wayne put the parchment on the table and looked at the basic attributes on the panel.
Name: Wayne Loft
Bloodline: Sarut Ethnicity
Occupation: Wizard (Advanced)
Toughness level: 25323
Spirit level: 12075

Skill: Ghost Meditation Level 5...
Rune Knowledge Tree: Rune Proficiency (0/1000)
Potions knowledge tree: Potions proficiency (78/100)
Survival points: 102320
Wei En looked thoughtfully at the basic attributes, skills and remaining survival points on the panel.
With his current strength, he is enough to deal with ordinary Hand of the Kingdom level extraordinary beings.
But if he is a top powerhouse like Alais who is about to enter the legend, even if he uses the two forbidden items "Forbidden Item 2-77 Karel's Whisper" and "Forbidden Item 1-83 Demon Clown" at the same time, It may not be possible to resist the opponent.
In addition, after the last attack on the Gravedigger, the mouth organ's out-of-control progress has almost reached its limit...
Therefore, he still needs to find another clear fulcrum to move the mountain of Ales Coulibaly.
"Fulcrum..."
Wei En sat back on the high-backed chair and went through the spells he had mastered in his mind.
Summoning of the Undead, Mechanical Box, Heart of Elements... Mental Shock, Frost Shock...
Not many of them have reached level five, and most of the spells are still at level four, but he has too few survival points to upgrade them all.
"Heart of flesh and blood!"
After much deliberation, only the Heart of Flesh can do the spell that can greatly increase his strength in a short period of time.
According to the experience of adding points last time, his total attributes are now 48432, and he will increase his heart of flesh and blood by one level...
"The improvement of nearly 20,000 points in basic attributes is almost comparable to all attributes of a legendary transcendent."
After calculating, Wei En's brows furrowed.
Improving attributes is certainly a good thing, but then he will have no choice but to use close range to fight Alais.
Boiling blood, solid wall, healing, quick shadow step...
He looked at the spinning spell pattern on the driver's forehead. Currently, the spells in his flesh and blood strengthening system were almost all for auxiliary purposes...
"The fulcrum has been found!"
After considering it, Wei En initially finalized the improvement plan for the next time.
In addition to the heart of flesh and blood, he also needs the magical ability of a powerful flesh and blood strengthening system.
In this way, his toughness level, coupled with the strengthening effect of the blood boiling spell, can exert his current strength to a certain extent.
It's powerful, has a strong burst, and it's best to last longer...
Don't worry, I'll look for it in the redemption manual later.
If not, you can also try to redeem it from ghost and occult schools.
Thinking this way, a smile appeared on Wei En's face.
With the preliminary response plan in hand, his confidence in the arrangement on Alexei Island has increased a lot.
But before that, he still needs to know more about Alais and their current situation.
"Now it depends on the ability of the little maid..."
PS: I will adjust the update time later. It will be at eight o'clock or twelve o'clock in the morning. It is too late in the evening and I will stay up all night...Sorry, sorry.
PPS: Please give me a guaranteed monthly pass, hehehe...
