The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Watching the fleet of gold transport ships passing by in front of him, turning a blind eye to the five ships, the captains of Hailesa and the others felt extremely miraculous even when they were nervous, and their eyes fell on the box tied to the flagpole in unison. On the road, some thoughts inevitably came into my mind.

Although they themselves have tested it just now, as long as they don't enter the colorful mask, the area seen by people outside the mask is just an ordinary ocean, but before the fleet of gold transport ships passed by, they There is still some uneasiness in my heart.

But now this anxiety has been replaced by another kind of greed. As smuggling captains, they all know how useful a magical device that can be hidden from any sight can play a role in smuggling at sea. It is an exaggeration to say that if they have this device, they will be the king of smugglers, and there is no need to worry about any anti-smuggling boats.

However, this idea only flashed in their minds for a while, and then quickly disappeared, because just now the captains of four of the ships discovered that their employers were all companions of each other, and these four employers obviously They are all people with extraordinary power, and it seems that they should come from a mysterious and powerful force.

Not to mention whether they can snatch the device from four people with powerful supernatural powers, even if they can snatch it, they will have to face a mysterious force with a large number of supernatural beings to hunt down and kill them afterwards. I calmed down from the desire I shouldn't have.

The cloaking device brought out by the four non-human beings did not exceed Leo's expectations. This device had already been discovered when the Spirit Network scanned the four of them.

Although this optical cloaking device is very different from the stealth module of the Earth Federation's battleship environment, and the technology used is also alien technology that Leo has never seen before, but the simulation module that this device must use is Common to all civilizations in the universe, this is almost an iconic component of this type of device.

The only thing that surprised Leo was the coverage and effect of this device. Originally, he just thought that this device was a personal escape device used by four non-human races to save their lives when they encountered danger, but he did not expect this coverage. It is so big, and the effect is astonishing, even the waves on the sea surface, the undercurrent under the water and all kinds of creatures living in the water can be simulated.

Unless one has a mental network of Leo's level and constantly scans and analyzes everything around him, otherwise, it is difficult to discover these simulated virtual environment lights and shadows with the naked eye and ordinary mental scanning abilities.

Now Leo also knows why those non-human races are so confident that they can collect the desired information safely at close range, and escape from the melee on the battlefield.

"Is this the artifact of the God of War? Just like the legend, it can hide the army, even if the enemy walks by, it will not be noticed. If it can be used on the battlefield..." Barbarisa moved to the window of the cabin at this time , watching the fleet of gold transport ships turn a blind eye to these ships not far away with a look of surprise, and heard Leo explaining the effectiveness of optical cloaking devices to Sylvia, he couldn't help saying.

Perhaps the battle just now aroused some of Barbarisa's instincts. When he saw the optical cloaking device, he immediately thought of using it on the battlefield. I'm afraid he was also wondering if there was a chance to get it out. come over.

However, regarding Barbarisa's thoughts, Leo just smiled and said nothing, because even if this kind of device is obtained by Barbarisa, it may not be used, and the energy required for this kind of device to be used once is very large , and from the point of view of the energy source of the device, it obviously does not have a charging module, so this device can be said to be disposable, and it is no different from a waste product after use.

At this time, the gold transport fleet had completely passed in front of the five smuggling ships, almost without any suggestions or requests from those non-human races, the captains of the five ships spontaneously ordered to start the steam engine engines, and followed the gold transport fleet In the back, the five ships are connected by a live buckle chain to prevent ships from going beyond the range of the stealth device when they are heading.

Although it is very difficult to coordinate the speed and direction of the five ships in the sea, fortunately the captains of the five ships are all experienced helmsmen, and they quickly found the law of coordination. The boats together quickly became coordinated after a few small collisions, moving forward at the same speed while maintaining a certain safe distance between the hulls.

If there were no accidents, then the five smuggling ships could perfectly avoid the battlefield through this method, and act as bystanders at close range.

It's a pity that the follow-up development obviously did not develop in the direction the captain of the smuggling ship hoped. When the ship followed the gold transport fleet and entered the bitter water sea eye, the dark clouds that had accumulated for two full days could no longer bear the weight of the bound water vapor. , began to release the power contained in it.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, and along with the raindrops, there was a huge storm on the sea. Driven by the force of the storm, the waves on the sea surface kept rolling upwards, and the tide quickly climbed from a few meters high to more than ten meters. Even dozens of meters, forming a high wall made of seawater, quickly advancing in the direction of the storm.

According to the routine, in the face of such a powerful storm, ships sailing at sea must find a safe haven to avoid the storm as soon as possible. Encountering a push from a huge wave, it overturned.

However, the behavior of the gold transport fleet after the storm appeared completely violated these rules. Not only did they not search for nearby islands and reefs that could avoid the storm, they even did not change the direction of the fleet, as if they could not see the huge monster pushing in from the side. It was like a wave, sailing forward at an undiminished speed.

Soon, the huge waves created by the first wave of the storm encountered the fleet at close range, and when the huge waves tried to overturn the ships blocking its way, a force erupted from every ship in the gold transport fleet , instantly enveloped the ship it was on, and the sea water hitting the ship was easily blocked by this force, and was discharged to both sides without causing any hindrance to the navigation of the ship and the fleet.

At this moment, the entire fleet was wrapped in sea water, and it looked as spectacular as if the entire fleet was sailing in sea water.

The five smuggling ships behind the gold transport fleet completely saw this miraculous scene. If they were not also in the storm, they might be willing to stand on the deck, holding a glass of wine, Enjoy the sight.

But now, they will also face the sudden attack of huge waves, and even though they have predicted the direction of the huge waves in advance with their rich experience and adjusted the position of the bow in time, when the huge waves like a wall appear in front of them When they were in front of them, they didn't have the slightest confidence in their hearts that they could break out of such a strong wave.

"Damn it! This is not a natural storm at all!" The captains of almost all ships couldn't help their panic and cursed loudly when they saw the huge waves attacking them.

Just as they cursed, the sea storm in front of them appeared too suddenly and formed too fast. It took less than ten minutes to complete the metamorphosis process that a normal storm would take several hours to complete. The unprecedented situation completely exceeded the ability of these old sailors to cope. The only thing they could do was to use their past experience to find a way to break out of the huge waves formed by the storm.

However, all the old sailors on the ship are very clear that these coping methods may be enough to deal with regular storms, but it is obviously far from enough to face this abnormal super storm, unless it is the kind of God who has a fleet of gold ships. Miraculous power to rescue them, otherwise they may fall down this time.

Just when everyone felt fear and despair, a large number of vines rushed out of one of the ships, forming a huge vine ball, wrapping the five ships in it, and the periphery of the vine ball continued to grow The new vines were reinforced, and at the moment when the huge wave slammed down, the vine ball withstood all the slapping force, and rolled along the direction of the huge wave, easily venting the power formed by the huge wave, and was The five ships protected by it only felt a little shaking when the vine ball was spinning rapidly.

All the people on the ship were stunned by the scene in front of them, and didn't know how to react for a while, but on the ship that was the source of the vines, everyone looked at the non-human race that had turned into a treant on the deck , everyone's eyes were full of awe.

At this time, in the cabin of Beloved, Leo took his hand from the prepared rune magic circle, and then looked at the tree man with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When he entered the Kushui Sea Eye, Leo already felt that the power accumulated in the dark clouds in the sky was being stimulated by an external force, and began to release outwards, and quickly formed a storm on the sea.

Although he is not an old sailor, it is impossible to judge the destructive power and scope of the storm from certain characteristics of the storm, but he can deduce what the final effect will be like from the energy fluctuations released by the storm.

Therefore, at the moment when the huge wave just formed in the original place, he had already taken out the rune magic circle, ready to take action when the huge wave hit.

However, he obviously underestimated the strength of those non-human races. Treants among those non-human races, who are similar to a certain symbiote civilization, were able to come up with such a way to protect all five ships, and the vine balls they made It is also strong enough to withstand such a strong wave, and at the same time, it can keep the space inside the vine basically stable, which really surprised him.

"What a powerful ability!" Sylvia couldn't help admiring at this time, and added with a little deep meaning: "It seems to be specially designed for the current situation."

Hearing this, Leo nodded his head in agreement.

Just like Sylvia's opinion, he also felt that the tree man had displayed an ability that was perfectly suited to the current environment and could protect the ship in time at this time. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was prepared in advance.

However, for the other people on board, it doesn't matter whether this ability is prepared in advance, what matters is that they are temporarily safe.

However, those non-human employers obviously did not intend to let these ships stay peacefully until the end of the storm. They asked the ships they were on to turn on the steam engines, and then continued to sail towards their target locations in the storm with huge vine balls on them.

Faced with this somewhat excessive request, although the captains of the various ships expressed dissatisfaction, it was just that. They did not refuse to implement this request, but directed the sailors to continue sailing in accordance with the requirements of the employer. After all, now It was this vine ball that protected them. If they annoyed their employer and untied the vine ball, they would not have the confidence to survive that kind of storm.

In this way, the five smuggling ships were completely protected by the vine balls and could not see anything outside. According to the instructions of the tree man who made the vine balls, they controlled the direction and speed of the ships, and they carried the vine balls, like a Sailing in the storm at sea like a headless chicken.

During the voyage, the Treant appeared weak several times, but those non-human beings were prepared and took out some potions like nutrients to supplement the huge consumption of the Treant.

After sailing blindly for several hours, the tree man suddenly signaled to stop the boat, and after a while, the vines covering the ship began to untie slowly, but the untied vines were not taken back by the tree man, but quickly withered, from Fell down in the air.

Soon the vine ball above was completely untied, and everyone saw the sky above their heads, but to their disappointment, the dark clouds in the sky did not disappear, but became thicker, completely blocking the sunlight outside, and under the dark clouds and Night and night make little difference.

The dark clouds did not disappear, and the storm naturally did not end. The strong wind that could blow people away directly penetrated into the vine ball when the vines above the head disappeared. Some sailors who did not have time to make protective preparations were directly blown away from the deck and fell into the water .

However, what puzzled the people on board was that although the outside was in a violent storm, the sea surface was extremely calm, and there was hardly any turbulence caused by waves.

At first, the people on board thought it was because the protective effect of the vine ball hadn't disappeared, because they didn't feel the outside storm during the previous few disappearances, but when the vine ball was completely loosened, they realized that The situation outside is completely different from what they thought.

Although it is stormy outside, the sea seems to be suppressed by some kind of force. There are no waves, but some undulations. Looking around, it gives people a feeling that the sea is not in a storm at this moment , but the illusion of being in a private pond.

It's just that the attention of everyone on the ship was not attracted by the abnormal scene in front of them for too long, and the fierce battle that broke out on the sea in the distance had already attracted their attention.

At this moment, the four non-human races all took out the devices they had prepared long ago, climbed up to the watchtower on the top of the mast, scanned the direction of the fierce battle with the device several times, and finally turned the collection port to the In the clouds of lightning and thunder above the battlefield.
