Path of light

Chapter 690 691. Sea Storm

The sea hidden in the night shows a suffocating beauty of silence.

Leah squatted on the bronze argali head-butting horn like a night saber, staring nervously at the sea.

A giant figure appeared on the sea more than two hundred meters away. It emerged from the sea, with countless seaweed and kelp hanging on its head. There were even parasitic shells on its dark skin, and dozens of shells grew on its head. There are squid-like tentacles that curl down and hang down.

Its body was round and round like a fungus creature, with its arms and body rolled together. The moment he emerged from the sea, a rich dark aura rushed towards Leah.

In the salty sea breeze, the dark atmosphere is full of the smell of death.

Leah had never seen this kind of dark creature. The seawater continued to flow along its body. It appeared on the beach in the shallow water area and was more than three meters high. It waded through the seawater step by step towards the area where the magic airships gathered.

Leah put her hands on her thighs, and a sharp badger needle was tied to the outside of her right leg. Her hands were trembling slightly.

She held her breath and studied the dark creature.

For Leia, this is a very rare opportunity to prove herself. The elf warriors on the ship went to the cliff top to set up tents at night. There were only some mixed-blood elf crew members left behind on the nine magic airships. Except for the half-blood elf warriors who were on duty at night, Outside, the ship was quiet.

She leaned down and wanted to take the opportunity to jump from the bow of the boat into the sea...

Suddenly a white hand rested on her shoulder.

Alice stood with her bare feet on Leah's hand, put a finger to her mouth, and signaled Leah to be silent.

She leaned next to Leah's ear and lightly opened her pale pink lips:

"Don't take chances, that should be a Dark Faceless One. When I was lying in the camp tent, I heard the witcher talking about them. You can't defeat it. It will use its strong arms to hold you tightly. Tangle them, and then crush all the bones in your body..."

Leah looked at Alice with an expression of 'What should we do?' in her eyes.

"Leah, you seem to have forgotten one thing. We are not alone here..."

As she spoke, Alice looked at the palm of her hand, and then a ball of holy light appeared in her hand. She threw the ball of holy light into the sea with all her strength.

A ball of light was very conspicuous in the night. The mixed-blood elf warriors on the magic airship were attracted by this ball of holy light. Everyone watched in surprise as this ball of holy light floated towards the sea. Then, under the reflection of this ball of holy light, a group of lights appeared. The figure standing in the sea was completely exposed...

The mixed-blood elf guard warrior standing on the watchtower on night duty immediately discovered the clues on the sea. He immediately picked up a small copper hammer hanging on the main mast and struck a copper bell hard.

'Dang Dang Dang...'

The rapid ringing of the bell woke up the sleeping crew members on the ship. The half-blood elf warrior who was on duty at night even took out a magic flare from his waist and shot it at the black figure standing on the coastline.

The bright and soft yellow light drew a long flame tail in the air, and the flame of the magic signal flare was much brighter than Aria's ball of holy light.

On the sea surface not far away, a dark monster that looked like an octopus was covered with seaweed, standing so alone in the sea...

It did not pay attention to the magic flare, but instead stared at the ball of holy light that continued to dim and fell into the sea. Then the tentacles hanging on its face began to dance, and the dark faceless man rushed towards Alice's location. but,

Its nearly two-meter-long thigh stepped on the sea water. It ran very fast, and a cloud of mist appeared around its body...

Leah almost subconsciously blocked Alice behind her.

The half-blood elven crew members on the ship were not slow to respond. The half-blood elven crew members standing on the observation deck picked up their long bows and aimed their arrows at the Dark Faceless Man.

Some crew members who had no time to penetrate the armor ran out of the cabin and rushed to the side of the ship, occupying vantage points to observe the situation outside.

It can be seen that these elf crew members are very experienced in dealing with emergencies.

The crew members who caught up behind them were holding weapons. They distributed weapons to each crew member's hands, and there were crew members behind who ran out holding leather armors...

He didn't see clearly who shot the first arrow, and then countless arrows flew towards the Dark Faceless Man.

Probably because of their great success in hunting wind snakes, the crew members felt that they could use bows and arrows to shoot the tentacle-covered monster in front of them into a hedgehog...

A hail of arrows flew out, most of them piercing the faceless man's body.

Although the faceless man was covered with arrows and looked like he was seriously injured, his running speed did not slow down at all. When he rushed to the bow of the ship, his arms stretched out seven or eight meters long. Hooking the side of the ship with both hands, his body suddenly shrank like a rubber man, and he jumped directly onto the deck.

Two tentacles wrapped around the two mixed-blood elven crew members and pulled them from the side of the ship to the faceless man. During the struggle, the two mixed-blood elven crew members threw away the elven longbows in their hands and fought with all their strength. He tried his best to break free from the entanglement of the Faceless Man's tentacles.

The other crew members also drew out their elven swords and attacked the faceless men on the deck.

At this time, Alice's whole body was filled with a faint layer of holy light. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, stood on the bow of the ship and recited a prayer. Suddenly, a beam of light fell from Alice's head, a ball of radiance. The target holy light ball appeared in front of Alice.

At this time, the Faceless Man turned his body around, stretched out his two tentacle-like arms, and threw the two crew members into the sea.

The Faceless Man ran a few steps, and then stretched out a tentacle towards Alice. Leah, who was squatting beside Alice, turned her body into a ball of black mist. When her body reappeared, she was squatting on the left side of the Faceless Man. She inserted the Wolverine Needle in her hand directly into the Faceless Man's head full of tentacles.

The whole sharp dagger was completely immersed in the Faceless Man's body, but the Faceless Man just trembled violently, and then the tentacles growing on the Faceless Man's chin stretched out, tightly entangled Leah who wanted to dodge.

The Holy Light Ball in Alice's hand also flew out at this moment, and the Holy Light Ball hit the Faceless Man's chest, and immediately burned a hole in the Faceless Man's chest.

The faceless man was in great pain, and his tentacles were twitching violently. Leah took this opportunity to get out of the tentacles. She ran forward in two halves, and her body turned into a ball of black mist again, disappearing into the night...

When Leah showed her body again, she was standing behind Alice.

At this time, the deck was full of crew members. They saw a black monster that looked like an octopus and was sticky all over. The monster stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and kept attacking the crew members around.

However, it was injured in the chest, so many of its movements were greatly affected.

After leaving the sea, the power of the faceless man was also weakened bit by bit.

There were more and more half-elf crew members around, and the sharp elven swords cut wounds on it. These crew members had rich combat experience, and soon the dark faceless man was covered with wounds...

With a clear cry from above, a sword dancer wearing full-covered thorium armor suddenly appeared on the deck. She held two serruki swords, and her body kept moving with the swords in her hands, and then the two swords in her hands stabbed the faceless man.

Every move she made was very graceful, and she looked like a dancer on the battlefield.

The faceless man stretched out several tentacles, but they were cut off by the sword blades under the strangulation of the sword dancer's flying swords...

As the sword dancer took a heavy step forward, her foot stepped down, and Leah felt that the whole ship shook slightly, and her two swords were placed on the neck of the faceless man covered with tentacles at the same time.

The two swords crossed together, like a pair of sharp scissors. Behind the sword dancer, a female elf figure in the same posture appeared. As the two Seruki swords merged together, the head of the faceless man rolled onto the deck, and the huge body like a mountain of flesh also piled up on the deck like a pool of rotten meat.

A group of crew members immediately surrounded him, stabbed the head of the faceless man with the elf swords in their hands, and cut off the tentacles that were still dancing randomly.

The white griffin also took the opportunity to land on the deck, crawled to the side of the female sword dancer, and took the opportunity to peck at a faceless tentacle that was still wriggling on the deck...

The female sword dancer put the two Seruki swords back into the scabbard, lifted the visor on the helmet with one hand, and a bright and pretty face suddenly appeared - Sabrina.

The crew on the magic airship cheered regardless of the pile of smelly rotten meat on the deck.

Soon, Roy and the members of the Zakarum Adventure Team returned to the magic airship. He ordered several captains of the mine guards to immediately strengthen the vigilance around the ship.

The body of the faceless man decayed very quickly. Before the rotten meat completely stinked, it had to be cleaned out this morning.

The members of the adventure team gathered in the captain's room. In addition, there were captains of nine magic airships and several captains of the mine guards.

Roy stood next to a wall with a portrait of the dark faceless man on it.

In addition to the dark faceless man, the portrait also showed the Nakma demon who looked like a centaur.

The Nibru spider man with a human upper body and a spider lower body.

The dark evil ghost with a human body and a goat's head on his neck.

Roy pointed at the four dark golems on the portrait and said to everyone:

"The one who just rushed onto the magic airship is a dark faceless one. It is one of the four dark legions of the Abyss Hell along with the Nakma demons, the Nibru spiders, and the dark evil spirits."

"I just came back from the Dark Land this time. Although we didn't come into contact with the Dark Legion in the Dark Land, we learned a lot of relevant information."

.

"The dark faceless men appeared in this sea area. It is very likely that there may be a passage connected to the dark land somewhere on the seabed here. I guess these dark faceless men should be fighting with the sea beast priests in this sea area. This can also explain why we can't see the fish-man monsters as we move along the coastline."

"Everyone, we may have to be more careful in our exploration journey next time."

"In addition, I also hope to get some information about the dark faceless men in the next exploration. After all, this is a major event closely related to our Partington plane, and all elves should pay attention to it."

"At present, the Green Empire in Roland Continent is erupting in a plane war. I am worried that this plane war may spread to the elf world. I hope everyone must pay attention to it."

After Roy said this information, there was silence in the captain's room. No one thought that Roy would associate so many things with just a dark faceless man appearing on the coastline.

After the short meeting, the officers and captains of the mine guards left with heavy hearts.

Miss Tiffany quietly dived into the dark sea and began to check the sea area...

Everyone waited until dawn, but did not see the second dark faceless man.

Roy heard from the crew on duty on the ship that the dark faceless man was discovered by Leah, and then took Leah around the coastline for most of the day, but unfortunately still did not find anything.

After patrolling the surrounding seas, Miss Tiffany also failed to obtain any news about the dark faceless man.

Despite this, the fleet did not return to the original route because of this setback, but continued to advance northwest along the coastline.

During this period, the griffin cavalry wanted to search deep into the sea, but was stopped by Roy. This behavior was tantamount to provoking the sea beast priests in the deep sea area.

Roy had seen the abilities of the second-level masters. The sea beast priests were also second-level masters. They also had powerful magic contract partners such as deep-sea beasts. Ordinary second-level masters could not be the opponents of the sea beast priests.

Once these griffin cavalrymen encountered the sea beast priests at sea, it would be difficult for them to return alive.

The advantage of the fleet following the coastline was obvious. Once they encountered the sea beast priests, they could quickly run to the land. The biggest weakness of the sea people was that once they left the ocean, their strength would be greatly weakened.

Roy felt that the dark faceless man of the feather arrow was definitely not an accident, so the fleet was in a state of first-level alert during this period.

The number of half-blood elf guards patrolling at night doubled directly.

In the third week after the fleet left the Sun Island Bay, Roy found that the temperature around the fleet continued to drop as it went northwest.

Recently, there were no tropical trees on this coastline. It had been raining for three consecutive days. The sea was very windy and rough. The waves were only a dozen meters high. If a big wave came, these three-masted sailing ships would tilt greatly.

Sabrina took the risk of taking several griffin cavalrymen to fly high into the sky against the fierce sea breeze. A group of griffin cavalrymen directly passed through the clouds with lightning and thunder.

When they reached the high-altitude wind flow layer, they found that the clouds under their feet had gathered into a huge vortex with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

This is a typical sea storm.

After September every year, there will always be sea storms in Castletown.

At present, Roy's fleet is located at the edge of the sea storm...

Sabrina rode the griffin back to the fleet, and the fleet immediately looked for a safe harbor.

This sea area is full of narrow fjords, and the fleet soon entered a fjord with natural deep water areas.

This place is very sheltered from the wind. No matter how fierce the wind is on the sea, the wind and waves in this fjord are not big. In addition, the elf guards of the mine guard group on the ship set up tents in the woods by the sea. According to the living habits of the elves, living by the sea is safe.

Just as the elves set up camp, a storm arrived...

The heavy rain caused flash floods in some of the surrounding mountains. Overnight, thousands of streams of varying sizes emerged in this fjord.
