"I...lost, why don't you get up?"
Eureka gently pushed Li Ran's chest and said shyly.
Li Ran was not in a hurry. He put his hands on the deck and slowly stood up. Then he stretched out his hand and tried to pull the other person up. He said with a smile in his eyes: "It seems that I am slightly better."
Eureka slapped his hand away, stood up, hugged her chest and shouted angrily: "Li Ran, when did you learn such shameless tricks?"
Li Ran chuckled and explained: "When I was in Star Wind City, I asked An Ke to teach me some of the sneak's damaging moves, and they seemed to be very useful."
Eureka defended: "This trick is only useful in street fights, for real knights..."
Her words stopped abruptly, because no matter how shameless Li Ran's methods were, he had just won.
Seeing Eureka's eyes glowing again, Li Ran felt that this provocation had achieved its purpose.
However, Eureka's distracted look just now still made him a little worried.
Li Ran couldn't help but ask: "What were you thinking about just now?"
Eureka hesitated again and again, but chose to reveal her true feelings to Li Ran.
After listening, Li Ran opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "A girl born from a shell?!"
He never thought that Eureka had such a bizarre life experience.
Eureka sighed softly, lowered her eyes, and said in a lonely voice: "My father passed away when I was very young. This is one of the few clear memories I have."
Li Ran nodded to express his understanding, but looking at Eureka's thoughtful look, he still explained: "Don't take it to heart, my mother also said that I picked it up from the ditch! Many parents would say that. , your father must love you very much, maybe he said this because he was afraid that you would be too sad after his death."
Eureka was startled when she heard this, "I didn't take it seriously. How can a baby survive in a sea clam? It's just that I'm a little sentimental when it comes to the sea."
"But thank you anyway," Eureka looked at Li Ran with a smile in her aqua eyes, "I feel much better."
At this time, a golden figure fell from the bridge and came to Li Ran and Eureka.
Li Ran greeted the visitor: "Archangel Murazeer, how is the situation of the ship?"
"Lord Li Ran," Muraziel said, "The Rebel Knight has just been inspected by the mage group and is operating well. According to Jamil's judgment and based on the scheduled formation and sailing time, we are close to where the Naga Empire is located. The sea area.”
Li Ran nodded, looked at the boundless sea, and asked: "According to the records of Hammerfall, the Naga Empire was once the origin of Dragon Blood Crystal?"
"That's right," Muraziel nodded. "At that time, there were two dragon blood crystal origins in the Emerald Ocean in the southern part of the continent. One was Nariya, the capital of the Naga Empire, and the other was the orc overseas. The settlement 'Pao Island' was established. After the Broken Star War, these two areas have lost contact. If we want to know their situation, we can only conduct on-site inspections."
Eureka remembered something and explained to Li Ran: "The Naga Empire has another name - Hasima. It is a multi-ethnic country that believes in the goddess of water, Sarasa. It is said that they will build cities on the islands. , and built a large number of temples.”
"It's just..." Eureka looked worried, "They have no contact with the mainland countries. They focus more on inner cultivation than pursuing worldly values. They are a country that lives in seclusion from the world. We should How to find them?"
Murazir thought for a while and said: "Naga not only live on the island, most of them can breathe underwater, so Hasima will also build cities under the water, but... Now that the Emerald Ocean has been occupied by the Machine Tribe, we are not sure what their current situation is."
"However," Muraziel smiled, "In any case, Naga is a marine race that is good at fighting. I believe that like the army of the Wolf Principality, they can find a way to deal with the mechanical race."
Li Ran agreed: "I hope so, so that we can find the Dragon Blood Crystal as soon as possible. By then relying on the Starwind Fleet, we will definitely be able to establish a trade route between Hasima and the Holy Empire. This is a good thing for both regions. We can even become allies and face the Starbreaker together..."
boom!
Before Li Ran finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the front of the ship formation.
The shrill siren of the warning ship sounded urgently.
The entire fleet moved upon hearing the order, and Li Ran, Eureka and Murazeer also came to the bow of the Rebel Knight and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Who could be the attacker? Li Ran frowned.
Immediately, the huge enemy rushed out of the sea, causing splashes all over the sky, and violent waves swept away in all directions.
Li Ran activated his natural ability "Psychic Vision" and discovered that it was a huge thing that was longer than a battleship. Most of its body was hidden under the water, and it was emitting a strong deep purple psychic light.
【Mechanical Leviathan】
[Level 7 Marine Creature/Cyborg Transformation]
[Attribute rating: Strength, S, agility, B, magic, C, physical strength, A]
The mechanical giant hidden in the deep sea stretched out its huge tentacles, part of which was a mechanical body, and the other part was a wriggling flesh limb that had not yet been completely corrupted. It rolled up the Blizzard-class battleship, and then dragged it underwater with force!
The crew was horrified and tried to fire back with their ballistae, but it was unable to work due to the instability of the deck, insufficient firing angle, and being too close.
Fleet Commander Jamil, who was on the bridge of the Rebel Knight, decisively ordered to mobilize surrounding ships to approach and support the attacked warship.
Dozens of bursting ballistae roared out of the slide rails, and the well-trained aerial knights reacted quickly, put on eyepieces and mounted the griffons.
The strong griffin ran excitedly on the deck, picking up huge depth charges with its paws one after another before taking off.
As the Griffin anti-submarine formation rose into the air, huge explosions sounded one after another. The steel tentacles of the mechanical Leviathan flying in the air were either blown off, or erupted with psychic flames and became paralyzed, slowly falling and sinking into the water.
The Blizzard-class battleship that was swept up into the air hit the water heavily. Although it suffered a lot of damage, it finally gained temporary safety.
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and immediately activated his psychic vision to check the enemy's status.
Then he discovered to his horror that the mechanical Leviathan's spiritual light was becoming more and more dazzling and rising rapidly.
A moment later, a terrifying mechanical mouth was revealed. On the rotting head like an ancient beast, ferocious mechanical claws were embedded on both sides like horns.
This half-dead, half-mechanical deep-sea monster looks very terrifying. The faint yellow spiritual flames fluttering in its eyes are like the lantern of death coming out of the underworld to harvest souls in the waves of the sky.
At the same time, more bodies of the mechanical Leviathan floated to the surface, and some corrupted bodies similar to muscle tissue slapped towards the battleship in front of them like arms.
