"Sparkling crystal shells are collected by the natives and raised in this sea area - they are the most advanced food for monsters, no matter what kind of monsters like to eat them, even the Zhanhai crystal dragon is no exception."

Looking at the sea in the distance, Ian withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Jingbei in the instrument: "But besides this, there are many other monsters that have been tamed by the natives...they are the guardians of this sea area, and they are also the guardians of the natives. Watcher's eye."

"Obviously, our process of collecting element crystal shells was discovered, and the natives already know that we are here."

This is not surprising. As a sublimated creature like Shimmering Crystal Shell, how could there be no monsters wandering around?

Both Goser and Isengard have already made preparations, and the explorers sent to the sea before are also ready to fight.

It's just that this place is actually an indigenous breeding factory, which is really unexpected.

And this also confirms Ian's previous speculation: the natives may have discovered the existence of the Zhanhai crystal dragon earlier than the empire, so they have already begun to prepare to lure the opponent to approach, and then try to "worship" it as a preparation for the totem spirit .

Compared with Zhanhai Crystal Dragon, a high-level magical beast with great potential, crocodile dragons and moray eels are all rotten fish and rotten shrimps. The Ministry might even join forces again!

Outside the cabin, the chief mate's calm report soon came: "My lord, there are many more sea beasts in the Luminous Sea than we imagined. They seem to have been trained and are approaching us. We are almost surrounded."

"In addition, the watchmen noticed that there were indigenous boats mixed in the sea beast group in the distance. We have reason to believe that it is they who are driving the sea beast group to surround us."

Although the news was all very tense, the chief mate was not afraid. Leaving aside the encirclement of ordinary sea beasts, there was almost no threat to their specially modified exploration ship, even if there were monsters and natives in it. , There are also cannons on the exploration ship.

Even if Master Gosai didn't make a move, wouldn't there be sublimators among them?

"It's okay, it's not a big problem, I didn't feel the breath of the two totem spirits."

Sure enough, Master Gesai lightly stroked his beard, and also calmly said: "Be prepared to fight, the enemy is not strong, but we must not let them damage the ship's structure and instruments."

"Let the gunner adjust the alchemy cannon. Ian, which direction should we break out?"

At the end, the old man looked at the white-haired boy. Ian thought for a while and said, "Southwest."

"Well, we break out to the southwest."

Although Master Gesai has the ability to destroy all sea beasts, it would be a waste of time, physical strength and energy, and the more things are delayed, the more accidents are likely to occur, so they can't waste too much time.

Ian determined the direction, the old man set the tone, and Isengard stepped forward to take the lead in distributing the work, allowing the four masters who had entered the sea before to drink the stamina potion to supplement the previous consumption.

The exploration ship is well organized, and everyone is working hard.

Ian is free again, this battle has nothing to do with him in theory, one more than him is not too much, and one less than him is a lot, a Wavesinger does not need to join the battlefield, maybe he will be required to sing at critical moments. The ship is speeding up.

But he himself didn't intend to continue fishing - he was also very interested and wanted to know what the natives had planned.

Moreover, the natives who almost starved to death after the war had been able to domesticate so many monsters recently... He had to estimate with his own eyes how much assistance Fei Yandi had given him.

"Besides, Patrick has reached an agreement with the natives in the past few days and started tipping off the news?"

Reminiscent of the rapid appearance of the natives, Ian couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Forget it, it's all a good thing."

When a group of people with threats and ideas get together, the effect of one plus one is greater than two... If Patrick and the natives really cooperate, the efficiency of both parties must be less than two.

Luminous sea, in the wind and rain, next to a small frigate that was almost completely covered by the rain.

The sea beast is near.

Ian took out his high-pressure water gun and walked out of the cabin.

Even in the cabin, one can feel the dignified atmosphere, and after walking out of the cabin, the roars of beasts in the distance became clearer, and there were even many voices that Ian was quite familiar with—reef-eating sea otters, sea crocodiles, perch Algae light fish, giant sea anemone, dolphin beam...

Just scanning from a distance, Ian could see these familiar figures, some of them were monsters, some were ordinary sea beasts, but the number was indeed shocking.

"After I go back, I have to remind the Viscount... Well, I don't think there is any need to remind him. After I mentioned Feiyandi last time, he must have noticed something abnormal soon."

Ian is quite confident about Viscount Grant's ability. Although the other party knows nothing about the professional field, he will not give some layman's orders, and the lord is very proficient in everything he should know.

Outside the ship, everyone is ready to fight. They hold harpoons and steel hooks in their hands. The sea swordsman is cleaning his long sword. The rippling blade becomes stronger in rainy days , It's like breathing in and out of the surrounding water vapor.

It can be vaguely seen that there is a line of inscriptions visible to the naked eye flowing on the sword.

The other three sublimators all chose bows and arrows.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The sound is very close, and there are overlapping low-pitched calls from the sea area close to the exploration ship. In the rough sea area, you can faintly see a shadow moving rapidly under the sea surface, trying to catch up with the ship that has begun to turn. .

"Start the attack."

It was Isengard who was in charge of giving the attack command. After hearing this sentence, Master Goser nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and drew a circle in the air.

The white shock waves visible to the naked eye converged into clusters in this circle, and the high-speed oscillating air oscillated the water vapor, turning it into a cloud-like form--followed by a scream, a long white "flowing cloud" 'It turned into a few invisible spears and stabbed towards the water.

hum! Only the shock could be heard, and then the three largest shadows in the sea stopped moving, and then, large groups of red and blue blood gushed out crazily, dyeing the sea red.

The whirlpool squid, the sound-beaming dolphin, and the scaleless iron snake... These monsters that could easily affect the ships and instruments were immediately targeted and killed.

The next battle is just a pure warm-up.

Noticing these details, Ian nodded, and then continued to move forward with his high-pressure water gun.

"Guide...you don't have to fight this time."

When the captain who led the mining team saw Ian, the skinny man was a little surprised. After noticing the cylinder in the young man's hand, he mistook it for an alchemy firecracker, and smiled kindly: "Although the alchemy firecracker is very powerful, , but it will be more difficult to use in rainy days, and the electricity spilled from the panite gunpowder will hurt people.”

"It's okay." Ian also responded with a smile: "I'm not a firecracker."

The captain was a little curious: "What is that?"

The sea beast approached.

Ian didn't reply right away, his eyes lit up with water-colored halos, and he easily locked on to those familiar figures - giant stone-armored fish, huge squid, iron-skinned sea otter, and all kinds of strange things.

He raised his gun, took aim skillfully, and input the source quality.

The pressurized cabin was running rapidly, and the visible light of the water element condensed on the cylinder of the high-pressure water gun.

Immediately afterwards, the trigger was pulled.

A fine and straight water column broke through the rain and waves, went straight into the sea, and shot towards the shadows below the sea surface. Immediately, a tragic howl of pain could be heard, and a reef-eating sea otter was hit on the lower body without noticing it, violently The pain instantly destroyed the fighting will of this beast that was close to the monster.

"Aieeeeee————"

The indescribable scream resounded throughout the sea, even the surrounding monsters and beasts heard it. Their speed began to slow down and their actions began to hesitate. Some of the beasts suddenly woke up. They looked at the situation of the sea otter, Then look in the direction of the survey ship, then reverse the angle in awe.

Meanwhile, the sea otter fled without looking back, sending up a wave of red water.

Because he didn't estimate the impact of the waves on the water column, he didn't penetrate the opponent's heart, and Ian wasn't annoyed, after all, the effect was the same.

The young man turned his head, looked at the captain whose eyes were a little dull, and subconsciously put his legs together, and said with a smile, "This is a water gun."

"yes."

The captain looked in awe at the cylinder in Ian's hand that released a dangerous atmosphere: "This is a water gun."
