*****On the surface of the high seas, somewhere in a huge whirlpool, on a honeycomb-like ship, in the upper 2 floors of the wheelhouse****
Zhang Youji and his party, Cuiyin and his party, went through the super strong storm to its center point one after another on their respective boats. After being sucked into a huge whirlpool, these two groups of people were in the midst of a huge battle between monsters in the sea. In the whirlpool, sailing along the current began at the edge of the whirlpool, although it was Cuiyin who was really panicked and felt the crisis of life.
Zhang Youji's side is still the same, with no sense of tension at all. Whether it is the huge tentacles outside the wheelhouse window, which are similar to those of an octopus, they repeatedly stretch out of the sea, and are filled with surprising scenes in the whirlpool at regular intervals. .
Or the many strange big fish figures that seemed to be fighting fiercely with those tentacles, and the continuous falling thunder and lightning. I didn't even feel a little bit afraid. If anything, it was only the scenery outside the window. Just a sigh.
[This is really, really spectacular. It’s like visiting the scene in Caribbean X3. Although the ship I’m on now is not the Black Pearl, but a modified large honeycomb, and there is no captain named Jack in the ship. . 】
[I don’t know what you are talking about, but I agree with the spectacular point, but should we almost do it while we are still on the edge, and those huge tentacles sticking out of the sea have not responded to us? When, did you turn before you were completely involved? Hey, stupid fish, what do you think? Are you an expert in the sea? 】
Although the ship he was traveling on was in a whirlpool, he could not feel a single sway due to the large number of magic tools installed by Moni on the ship. Zhang Youji, who thought that there would be no problem even if he walked around casually, came to the whirlpool with the nearby beautiful skeleton. Near Zim at the helm.
After briefly chatting with emotion about the situation outside the window, Mei Gugu dropped the topic and had almost no interest in the situation outside. The mermaid knight was still looking through the food storage.
【Um? What? Sea conditions? From a visual inspection, this vortex should be more than 100 kilometers long. It is indeed a legendary monster. Even our mermaid princess cannot easily create such a large vortex. As long as it does not go too deep and uses the edge of the vortex properly, maybe it can The distance can be shortened, but it is also accompanied by danger. Ah, the discovery of sashimi! 】
【【·······． 】】
[Ah, the calling thing rang. 】
After noticing Mei Gu Gu's question, the mermaid knight who was looking through the food store started to eat something while explaining in an incredible and very clear manner. Zhang Youji and Mei Gu Gu decided to destroy it because Some people's dream, when both of them were silent due to the mermaid knight's behavior, at this moment, the magic tool near Zim that looked like a walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
[Speaking of which, Cuiyin’s side suddenly lost contact after hearing a crashing sound. Although the ship seems to be fine now, I don’t know what’s going on inside. Anyway, Pick it up. 】
([Why not only did you not turn around to pull us back, but you actually rushed into this maelstrom?! When the ship was almost overturned by Kraken's tentacles just now, I thought I was going to die!])
[Uh, unknowingly, when I was thinking about something, I forgot to step back and ended up like this? Anyway, the silly fish here said that if we use this big whirlpool, we may be able to shorten the distance appropriately, and now it feels like we can't retreat easily, so it's not bad to just make mistakes, right? 】
([It’s so bad! I don’t know what to say anymore! Why can you be so leisurely and comfortable even when you encounter legendary monsters?! If our ship sinks and is eaten by monsters? If you do, you won't be able to turn into a ghost. Huh? Veroniel? What? The barrier on the ship is unexpectedly strong? Ah, wait, I still have something to do with this guy])
After Zim followed Zhang Youji's words and picked up the beeping magic tool, Cuiyin's frightened and angry accusations immediately echoed in the wheelhouse, and Zhang Youji, who felt something bad, He immediately found an excuse, causing Cuiyin to yell louder than before.
But before Cuiyin finished shouting, although Zhang Youji could not hear it on the intercom, judging from the content of the conversation, it seemed that Veroniere said something before Cuiyin finished speaking, and then He grabbed the walkie-talkie from Cuiyin's hand and quickly turned it off.
About a minute later, Zhang Youji's walkie-talkie rang again, but after Zim picked it up, the person on the call this time was not Cuiyin, but Wei Luo. Neil.
([Hello, Mr. Zhang Youji, Cuiyin seemed to be too excited to see the legendary monster just now, so I asked her to go find Geluxue and check out the device that generates the barrier together. Also, Coco asked me to tell you that if your journey is significantly delayed due to this incident, she will be happy to lecture you for a few days and nights, so I hope you can tell me a rough plan for the current situation.])
[Rather than being too excited, I feel that just now Cuiyin is in a state of complete despair. Forget it, I don’t want to listen to that kind of horrible preaching, so I’d better talk about sailing. Anyway, it’s probably here The silly fish said that this whirlpool can be used to shorten the distance, so maybe this is not a bad idea for the time being, right? 】
([I see,..., the course has not deviated much, it should be possible, but it is also very difficult to leave this vortex. With the situation here, we have already tried our best to maintain the current situation. Already.])
After listening to Veroniere's slightly resentful greeting and some questioning, Zhang Youji felt a little headache and told her his current thoughts, then threw the matter back and let Veroniere think about it. After looking at the current situation.
At the same time as she made the comment, she also said the inducement that hinted at asking for help. However, Zhang Youji, who still didn't think deeply and fell for the trap immediately, gave up thinking and put the matter away with the idea of throwing the trouble out. Moni's body was piled over.
【···Well, just look for Mo Ni then. She should know the current situation and probably can do something about it. 】
([Hehe, you really trust Moni-sama very much, so I’ll leave it to you when the time comes. Fortunately, these powerful monsters in the vortex are fighting each other and have no time to worry about us. The remaining problem is just , please pay attention to the aftermath of those attacks.])
[How about trying to fight back? How about cutting off all those tentacles that are blocking the way? 】
([If possible, I hope you don’t do this. The terrifying monsters in the whirlpool now only see each other as their enemies. If their attention is attracted, they may be involved in this fight and make them leave. The difficulty here becomes even greater.])
[Indeed, if you fight with that kind of thing, you won't be able to escape easily at all, and the less trouble the better, so this is the current policy for the time being. Zim, can you dodge attacks continuously? After all, the boats here are not small. 】
[I know~, although it looks delicious, Zim will avoid it. 】
When Zhang Youji had a brief discussion with Veronnier through the intercom near Zim about the general policy in this whirlpool, Zhang Youji, who still had no sense of crisis at all, followed Veronnier's cautious and mixed words. Xue Wu's suggestion, and after confirming some things with Zim who was busy sailing the boat next to him, Zhang Youji turned his attention back to the call with Veroniere.
[It should be fine on our side. Veroniel, how is your side? 】
([It can only be said that the situation is not very good, but we will try our best because we don’t want to die here, and Suzu-sama is also here, so we should be able to survive it.])
[Don’t be too insistent. If you really can’t do it, speak up immediately. After all, safety comes first. 】
([Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhang Youji, if the situation here really becomes a very critical situation, please rescue us when the time comes, ugh?!... It’s so dangerous.])
[It feels like you are very busy over there. Is that where the communication will end for the time being? Just concentrate on sailing. 】
([Well, thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I have almost no room for distraction.])
After confirming the situation on his side, Zhang Youji thought that judging from the current situation, there should be no problem. After confirming the situation with Veroniere and having a brief chat with her in an uneasy manner, Zhang Youji Because of the collision sound from Veroniel's side while speaking, she was worried and prepared to cut off the communication.
And later, after listening to Veronille and cutting off the communication with a very forced voice, Zhang Youji, who had not paid attention to the scenery outside the window of the pilothouse, came to his senses and moved his eyes to the scenery outside the window again.
At this moment, he discovered that around the ship, the giant tentacles extending hundreds of meters high out of the sea were scattered around more densely than before. They no longer responded to the movement of the ship, but Apparently aggressive actions were taken against the ship.
[Wow, this is really getting more and more spectacular. 】
[Furthermore, this slime actually managed to dodge many attacks. It’s such a powerful boat-driving skill. Although the opponent didn’t attack seriously, it felt like it was just moving around casually, trying to drive away unimportant things. 】
【Well? Beautiful Bones, when you put it this way, I do feel that the movements of those tentacles are very slow. 】
Zhang Youji looked out the window at the huge tentacles that stretched out from the sea in the huge whirlpool and kept attacking. After sighing at this scene, the beautiful skeletons nearby who were also looking at the scenery outside gave Zhang Youji a brief explanation. , after seeing that he began to understand and think, he began to explain some things to Zim at the helm.
[But don’t be careless. If it’s just a scratch, it’s not a big deal because of the barrier. But if you get caught, it won’t be easy to get out. It’s like being rolled up and feeling like it’s about to break. Like a carrot, if it usually turns out like that, you have to accept your fate and be prepared to become Kraken's bait..., huh? ···. 】
[Hey, beautiful bones, am I dazzled? Why is there a carrot in that place? And the size feels completely abnormal. 】
【···, that carrot, if my memory is correct, seems to be a submarine. 】
【···, Hmm, since there are honeycombs floating on the sea, it’s not surprising that there are carrots that can dive, right? 】
[Not only can it dive, but it can also dive into the ground. It is a multifunctional speedboat that can be used both on land and amphibiously. It probably belongs to the guys whose race is called Furious Bunny Girls. They are very rare and rare. No one knows how to classify them into orcs and monsters. Humans, monsters, or other categories, after all, their ecology can only be said to be very strange. 】
[Really, it is indeed a world of magic. If you look carefully, there seems to be something moving quickly on that carrot... What should I do? Want to save someone? 】
【······, who knows. 】
When Zhang Youji saw the beautiful skeleton in the middle of explaining, looking out the window in the distance being tightly wrapped by tentacles, the submarine that looked like a carrot, and gradually froze in the middle of speaking, the atmosphere at the scene changed under Zhang Youji's question. , became a little subtle.
Although Zim and the mermaid knight didn't pay attention at all. One of them continued to sail the boat, and the other was still looking through the food storage. However, looking at the carrots wrapped in the distance, whether it should be Mei Gugu and Zhang Youji, who were very hesitant to ignore the situation, began to get entangled in the scene about the very subtle scene in the distance.
