boom--
Boom! !
Thick clouds covered the sky and the moon, and lightning flashed and thundered within the covered area.
Accompanied by the deafening sound of mechanical cannons, cannonballs exploded on the sea surface, shaking the waves.
Countless deep-sea aberrations were drawn in, leaping around and attacking everything around them crazily.
"Marco, there's a big guy coming at twelve o'clock!"
"receive!"
Marco gasped, took out a bottle of energy potion and drank it. He didn't bother to wipe the corners of his mouth and growled at the pirate behind him: "Twelve o'clock direction!"
Those gunners holding the [Explosion Sniper Rifle] immediately turned their guns, aimed at the deep-sea aberration that had just jumped out of the sea, and pulled the trigger.
More than a dozen bullets hit its body, blasting out several craters on its skinny and scaly body. The dim, thick blood condensed into a ball as it gushed out, and fell on the deck with a corrosive hissing sound.
"Roar--"
It roared in pain, waving its metal-sharp limbs and frantically attacking the surrounding pirates.
呲——
A pirate who couldn't dodge was cut across the waist, his ferocious expression frozen, he just glanced down, and then used his last strength to jump up high.
Even though this action completely split his body into two parts, he still exploded with his original energy and inserted the short knife tightly into the body of the deep sea abnormality.
"Kill, kill it..."
"Tasheng!!"
When the pirate saw this scene, his eyes instantly became bloodshot.
On this deck shrouded in clouds and with only dim lights, one could clearly see the murderous intent in their eyes.
"kill!"
There are feelings, but there is no time for them to remember the departure of their companions.
All they can do is hold the weapon tightly and chop, hold the gun and pull the trigger, burn the source and try their best!
"Captain, we're running out of bullets!"
"Me too, I have the last magazine left!"
"I……"
Marco pulled out the lantern staff from the body of a mutant and shouted with a cold face: "Moscela, go!"
"yes!"
Mosquera didn't dare to hesitate and ran towards the cabin in front.
At this time, the fighting around them became more and more tense, and at any time, mutants could pass through the rune array and jump onto the deck.
Without those gunners who can kill powerful mutants, the hard-to-maintain balance will be broken instantly.
By that time, the pirates on the ship will probably suffer heavy casualties!
Marco knew this too.
So he wanted to stay, stay in front of the gunmen, and protect them until the bullets arrived.
"Damn it, what are the captain, first mate, and the others doing? If this continues, everyone on the ship will be dead before the Araniga catches up behind them!"
But he was just thinking about it in his heart and could never say it out loud at this time.
Otherwise, not only the will of the pirates will be shaken, but they may also be criticized by others.
Compared to him, the newcomer on the ship, Black Jack's prestige is unmatched by anyone on the Bekli!
Bang, bang, bang...
At this time, at the bow of the ship, Black Jack and Euan were standing together.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated with the pirates to kill the deep-sea abnormal mutants.
But if they were not stronger than the director level, they would stop and only carry out rescue at the most critical time.
This is not to maintain one's identity, but to retain more power to deal with the fierce battle that may occur at any time.
"Black Jack, Euan, how long can you hold on after running for so long? Stop, fight me like a man!"
Domitri laughed, as if victory was already certain.
But the strange thing is that except for his laughter, the entire Araniga is unusually quiet.
Not only were there no deep-sea aberrations like those on the Bekli, but even the rune circle was not turned on.
The pirates on the ship looked at the Bekli fighting in front of them, their eyes full of banter.
If Domitri hadn't been there, perhaps they would have taken out the barrels and were drinking and cheering at the theater.
"Tsk!"
Black Jack spat and glared gloomily at the pursuing Aranica, without responding to Domitri's taunt.
"Damn it, when will that bastard Menor get here?"
"Soon."
In contrast, Euan looked much calmer.
He casually casts elemental spells such as fireballs and lightning bolts, and the consumption of his mental power is not even as fast as his recovery.
But he knew that this would not solve the current situation.
"Have you noticed that the storm area is larger?"
"Um?"
"Not only has the sea covered by the storm become larger, but also the number of 'Garmendia's Dreams' on the black carriage..."
Black Jack looked at him with a slightly irritated tone, "'Epidemic Doctor', it's time now, just say what you have to say. You know, I'm not good at this!"
"The number of 'Garmendia's Dreams' has also increased." Euan was not annoyed and patiently explained: "I suspect that the storm and the carriage are related."
"This discovery...is very good."
Black Jack frowned and said, "But the question now is, how long do we have to wait? If we continue, I'm worried that those deep-sea deformed mutants will be able to tear us apart!"
"And Walid...no, it's the horn, it's almost out of control!"
"Speaking of the deep-sea aberrations," Euan continued without answering his question: "There is also some kind of power in that storm, driving those mutated monsters to attack."
"So it can be determined that all these changes are related to the carriage, or in other words, the gravedigger!"
"Euan! Are you listening to what I'm saying?!"
"So, Jack," Euan looked sideways at Black Jack and said with a serious expression, "If you are asked to resist Domitri, how long can you last?"
"You... hmm?" Black Jack was startled, "Are you going to take action? Now?"
"answer me!"
"It's just Domitri, I can last two minutes!"
Euan couldn't help but be moved when he looked at Black Jack, who held out two fingers with an arrogant look on his face.
"Black Jack, you... are so shameless!"
"Well," Black Jack said with a smile on his face, "If it were before, I could crush him to death with one hand, but since he followed Suad, his strength has improved a lot, and he also has a forbidden object on his body, so... …”
"Two minutes is enough."
"What are you going to do?"
"Go over and kill the gravedigger."
Seeing how relaxed he said it, Black Jack couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Boss, do you have any specific plans? What's the difference between you and me?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you won't understand."
"explain!"
Euan shook his head and said helplessly: "According to the records of the Occult School, Storm Lady Bertolis was once a pirate in the Cordo Sea before she became a god."
"Huh?? At this time, what are you talking about, Lady Storm? Can He still send down projections to rescue us?"
Black Jack's eyes widened. No matter how he thought, he could not guess what Euan meant when he mentioned this record.
Although some pirates on their ship are believers of the Church of Storms, they are still far from being able to attract the attention of Lady Storm.
"...It was still the Second Era at that time."
Euan glanced at him and told a secret in a calm tone.
"The original words on the epochal relic are - He spans the Cordo Sea. Whenever he blows the trumpet, a storm will come, as if there is divine help."
"And after He opened his kingdom in the Third Era, the forbidden object of the Storm Horn appeared on the Sea of Kordo!"
Black Jack was startled, "You, you mean?"
"Yes, that's the one in Walid's hand." Euan nodded, "You should remember the abnormality caused when it went out of control, right?"
"Remember. When it loses control, the seabed in the sea area will vibrate violently, causing huge sea storms. It will also attract deep-sea monsters and cause deep-sea fish riots..."
"That's the fury of Lady Storm, using the horn as a guide to punish all enemies on the sea!" Yoan took his words and said calmly: "Let Walid stop."
"You don't want to take the initiative to make the horn go out of control, do you?" Black Jack's eyes widened, "We..."
Euan interrupted Black Jack's words in a deep voice, "There is only one way to deal with the current crisis - that is to kill the gravedigger and destroy the black carriage, and then the Araniga!"
"Be prepared, I will enter the storm and deal with him as soon as the horn loses control!"
Black Jack tightened his lips. He knew this was a gamble.
But the current situation no longer allows them to delay any longer.
Unless Menor arrives, we can only take the risk as Euan said...
"Okay, I understand. But Euan, there is a prerequisite for releasing the out-of-control Storm Horn."
"I know this, trust me!"
Black Jack finally nodded and turned towards the cab where Walid was.
Looking at his back, Euan took a deep breath and looked at the continuous melee on the deck. The killings and shouts gradually awakened his fighting spirit.
Time seemed to go back to the days on the White Rose, and he was just like the pirates on the ship.
Cleaning the deep-sea aberrations on the deck every day, facing the storm, and killing the invading pirate groups...
Youan's eyes reflected the dim doomsday storm in the distance, and the light of lightning shone from time to time, making his whole body like an unsheathed sword, sharp and full of killing intent!
"Before that, let's temporarily reduce the pressure here!"
Domitri may have long forgotten the origin of his "epidemic doctor"...
Really, as stupid as ever...
Euan waved his hand, and a rune circle appeared at his feet.
The huge spider that once hung from the ceiling of his clinic and served as a chandelier came out of the space. After seeing him, it nuzzled into his arms affectionately.
"Okay, Liu Yan, you need to appear."
"Tweet." (Kill who?)
"This sea!"
Youan smiled coldly, and actually tore off a spider leg, and blue blood slid down the wound.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." (It hurts, it hurts...)
"Stop pretending, I have removed your sense of pain a long time ago." Youan turned around and threw the spider leg into the sea casually, "Go, around the ship."
"Tweet." (Not interesting.)
The spider's missing spider legs kicked out again, and a huge spider web shot out from the tail end and instantly enveloped the entire Bekli ship.
It just follows the spider silk and crawls around the ship. Opening and closing its mouthparts, it tears off the spider legs one by one and throws them into the sea.
After a while, the water around the Bekli turned strangely blue.
The Yingying light shines, as gorgeous as a blue ocean.
but--
The pirates killed a round of deep-sea aberrations, and suddenly found that there were no aberrations in the sea and jumped on the ship. They couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
"What's going on? First Officer Euan's magic spider?"
"Your focus is in the wrong direction. You should be talking about why the mutants in the sea are gone?"
"F*ck, where are the mutants?"
"Look into the sea!"
As more and more pirates eliminated the aberrations in front of them, they saw that on the sea around the Bekli, the blue fluorescent water was still shining under the clouds, and deep-sea species emerged one after another. sea surface.
The deformed variant was originally covered with scaly tentacles and riddled with holes, pus flowed from the rotting flesh and blood, and the white bones were exposed, becoming even more uglier due to corrosion.
The same goes for those fish that have not been contaminated. The fish scales on their bodies seem to have been scraped off, hanging loosely, and there is no trace of blood in the pale fish flesh.
What's even more strange is that what comes with the sea breeze is not a foul or fishy smell, but bursts of sweet fragrance.
The pirates on the entire ship couldn't help but be stunned.
"This, this is..."
"It's the 'epidemic doctor'!"
"Vice Captain Euan?"
The older pirate looked at the demon spider entrenched in the web above his head and couldn't help but sigh: "It's unmistakable, it's him..."
"Twenty years ago, the reputation of 'epidemic doctor' was no less than that of our captain."
"Jack?"
"Of course not. At that time, the first mate was still the boatswain of Vice Captain Euan. I was referring to Boss Isabello!"
Captain Isabello? !
All the pirates looked at the "epidemic doctor" Euan Morris who stood calmly on the bow of the ship.
Was he that strong at that time?
"You haven't experienced that period, so you don't know the reputation of Second Officer You An at all. I remember clearly that for a period of time, no other pirate group would set foot in the waters where he appeared."
"why is that?"
"Why? Of course it's because of it!" The old pirate pointed to the outside of the ship, "You don't think that the name 'Epidemic Doctor' is just a nice name, do you?"
"That was achieved by stepping on the corpses of countless pirate groups and deep-sea monsters!"
At this time, Black Jack, who had finished explaining the plan to Walid, walked out of the cab, looked at the surrounding sea, and smiled.
The "epidemic doctor" is the "epidemic doctor", and the epidemic poison he uses is stronger than before!
"Everyone, take the time to rest now!"
"yes!"
Black Jack did not explain, but directly ordered the pirates on the deck to rest and wait. Then he looked at Euan at the bow of the ship and nodded slightly.
Walid is ready to try and send the Stormhorn out of control at any time.
Euan saw his actions and let out a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Liu, I leave this to you."
"Chirp?" (What do you want to do?)
"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll replace the small bones."
"Tweet!" (No!)
Euan curled his lips, looked at the pirates below who were drinking potions to replenish their consumption, and moved his hands and feet.
Wait a little longer and give them some time...
On the other side of the Araniga, Domitri frowned when he saw something unusual in the sea ahead.
"Be prepared, the 'Epidemic Doctor' is here to take action!"
"It has been prepared for a long time!"
"Hahaha, those bastards on the Black Pearl really managed to escape for seven or eight hours."
"Kill..."
They all saw the corpses of those deep-sea species, and knew that the Bekli was likely to fight back.
However, when they ambush in this sea area, they knew the entire plan and how much preparation they had made for this operation.
Therefore, these big pirates belonging to the Araniga did not waver in the slightest.
"Boss, do you want to inform the people behind you?"
"No need for the moment," Domitri said calmly with cold eyes, "This time, our main task is to prevent the Bekli from returning to Wojciech and buy time for the boss and those weird things."
"If Blackjack and his friends aim to get past us... that would be better for us."
"Understood."
The big pirate turned to the others.
Domitri didn't pay attention to the others, and he looked towards the dark sea behind him.
At this time, the huge steam engine of the Aranica roared and continued its pursuit of the Bekli.
The deep storm behind seemed to be its backing, following closely behind the ship. You could see the storm sweeping through the sea and bringing out numerous deep-sea species.
The gravedigger sitting on the black carriage would poke out the corner of the tombstone from time to time and fish out a "Dream of Carmendia" from the sea.
Then, hang it on the top edge of the car behind you, and sway in the wind together with other small pyramids.
After noticing the anomaly in front of him, the gravedigger just glanced at it and continued to do his own business.
Like two legends, a forbidden object... only worthy of his glance...
Domitri retracted his origin, looked forward, and murmured: "Black Jack, Euan, what are you two going to do..."
I can't wait any longer!
And outside the two stormy sea areas where they were chasing and escaping, a small boat followed them very quickly.
The thin hull cut through the waves, but the surrounding deep-sea species turned a blind eye to it, and none of them blocked its sailing path.
Several tall and straight people wearing black robes stood on the boat, looking at the center of the storm ahead.
It can be vaguely seen that they have almost identical faces, and an anchor mark with complex lines emits a layer of blue light on their foreheads.
That light resisted the brilliance of the red moon and protected them as they sailed in this late night.
Under the black robe, there was a layer of feather-like scales that sparkled with metallic luster.
If Wei En were here, he would definitely be able to tell that these are the Sea Crows who gave Karel's murmur to him.
"Elder, what is that carriage?"
"have no idea."
Troy stared at the two storms, his eyes flashing fluorescently, and images flashed from time to time, as if he could see through the future.
"The river of fate is really full of teasing..."
Several Sea Crow tribesmen in the back looked at each other and remained silent.
The elder began to say words that were incomprehensible again.
"Get ready, when they start fighting, that's when we board the ship!"
"good."
