The sun is high

When the "community" from the deep sea shocked the visitors on land with its extremely strange life forms, those land life forms that were once extremely weak and humble in the eyes of the "community" also used their own Return color in a special and violent way.

A series of shellings caused extremely serious trauma to the shrinking encirclement. Those figures that could have brought a huge sense of oppression fell apart in the violent explosion, and the strange circle composed of psychedelic colors also experienced intense magic. Several surprising gaps appeared in the shock.

At this moment, the mages responsible for monitoring the status of the mysteries on the ship were surprised to find that the ship-borne mysteries that had been severely disturbed before and were on the verge of collapse had become much more stable, and there were even some small mysteries still there. Operations were successfully restored at this time.

This important discovery was quickly reported to the commanders on the ship, and the large naval guns installed on the two armored ships immediately began to turn. It seemed that they were preparing to pour firepower into the front of the fleet. And further remove those obstacles that may interfere with the magical mysteries and the movement of the fleet.

It seems that the problems that were originally plaguing the fleet have begun to be resolved.

However, Xiuge, who was on the deck of the Windless One, did not cheer for joy like the others. He quickly came to the edge of the deck. The deep fog in his eyes became more intense, and his gaze was directed towards The sea below.

"Do you think they'll approach from under the water?"

The officer following him noticed Shouge's movements, so he immediately came over and asked questions.

This officer had a very favorable impression of Xiuge. The source of this favorable impression did not come from Xiuge's reputation and deeds, but from the military temperament faintly exuding in Xiuge and a series of precise and calm moves he made. judge.

As professional soldiers, officers know very well what kind of people are more worthy of trust in this situation.

Xiuge glanced to the side, and the strange darkness surging in his eyes made the officer a little scared, but then Xiuge said: "I just have suspicions, I can't be sure of their next move yet... But I guess these guys won’t give up easily.”

As he spoke, Shuge's magical vision was operating to the extreme, which caused dark mist to flow out of Shuge's body from time to time, and his sight also successfully reached a more distant location.

He saw that under the sea, there were large swaths of shadows that were difficult to identify with magic vision and were moving. This was a common feature of "swarm" life. Now, their targets were clearly those armors that were firing. Ships and gunboats.

"Send a signal to alert other ships and tell them to be careful underwater!"

Xiuge reminded loudly, and then he took a few steps to the side and came to two sailors who were installing and debugging weapons.

The weapon they are installing is neither a small crystal cannon nor a giant machine gun with a base, but a large firearm that shines with metallic luster and has several huge magic crystals inlaid on the gun.

It seemed that this was a crystal gun that had been enlarged several times, and even a special long-range sight was installed on it.

Through the complicated memories accumulated in the spiritual world, Xiuge found the name of this special weapon very easily.

It is called "Distant Eye Cannon", which is a very simple and ancient name.

The "far-eyed gun" appeared very early, and its origin can even be traced back to the early days of naval battles and large-scale siege warfare. This special firearm was actually an extremely crude magic book page ejector. It's more like a giant ballista with pages from a magic book bound to it.

As time went by, the use of crossbows and special ammunition to load magic pages quickly decreased, and craftsmen who loved the art of war gave these weapons richer forms and functions.

Their appearance is quickly approaching the new crystal gun, and in the scene where they are installed, battleships and city walls have become the most suitable choices.

In an era when crystal cannons had not yet shrunk and their stability problems had not been solved, these huge crystal cannons that could fire powerful crystal ammunition were one of the most suitable weapons on old warships, and a man who could accurately hit the enemy with heavy bullets Warships, and even precision shooters who directly destroy important targets, are indispensable crew members on a qualified warship.

With the continuous development of battleships, magic rituals and other heavy weapons, the special weapon of far-eyed gun gradually lost its place of use. But what is interesting is that with the steam and war that started on the Luowei Plateau, Metal Wave, this special old weapon finally ushered in its own new life.

A more accurate long-range sight, a faster reloading speed, and a minimum number of operators...

If necessary, a shooter with magic can even avoid the trouble of loading bullets to a large extent and directly use magic such as "Magic Bow and Arrow" to shoot more frequently and accurately.

And this just meets all Xiuge's current needs.

After getting permission from the officer on the side and confirming that the ship-borne "Distant Eye Gun" had been installed, Xiuge immediately came to the rear of it and sat on the fixed simple metal seat.

The operation method of the "Distant Eye Gun" is not complicated. It can even be said that anyone who has actually used the crystal gun can easily master it. The difficulty in using it lies entirely in the accuracy of shooting.

To achieve this goal, we must find ways to overcome the turbulence caused by the ship and eliminate all interfering factors in the chaotic situation.

For ordinary people, it goes without saying that this kind of thing is challenging.

But for Xiuge, this is not difficult.

With the continuous mobilization of magic power and the increase in the speed of the metal disc, Xiuge's mental state began to concentrate rapidly. With the precise long-range sight equipment, the magic vision successfully extended to the depths of the dark sea in the distance.

Although under the effect of the "Color of Life", the special group of life has the ability to block the invasion and exploration of the dark abyss magic to a certain extent, at this moment, Xiuge does not need to observe them carefully at all. , he only needs to confirm the target's general location and travel path.

Therefore, he quickly locked onto a huge shadow that was constantly marching under the distant sea.

Dark horniness crawled onto Shuge's hands. He tightly grasped the huge handle used to debug the weapon and pulled it down hard. At the same time, a large amount of magic power burst out from Shuge's body. And through the metal handle engraved with magical rituals, it was injected into the inside of this heavy firearm.

The huge magic crystals embedded in the metal shell were lit up one after another, and then, with the activation of the "Magic Bow and Arrow" trick, a magic ammunition shining with the color of the deep dark abyss was loaded.

As the heavy trigger was pulled, a loud roar finally came from the deck of the Windless One.

Everyone saw that a somewhat dazzling magic light burst out from the end of the narrow barrel, but the target of this huge magic bullet was not the shadow moving on the sea in the distance, but the shadow hidden among the waves. The darkness below.

No one knew whether Shuge's shot hit the target correctly. They could only see that after completing a shot, the young "legendary" spellcaster immediately reset the weapon skillfully and completed another reload. , then he quickly adjusted the shooting angle and pulled the trigger again.

On the other side of the deck, an officer whispered to the mage accompanying the army: "Did he... hit the target? Those monsters are approaching us underwater?"

"I have no idea."

The accompanying mage shook his head. He glanced at the figure manipulating the weapon, but was shocked by the magical smoke and dust that dispersed between weapon shots. So he swallowed and said: "However, look at this appearance, even those Even if the monster was not hit, it would probably be torn apart by the turbulence created by these magic bullets, right? How could his magic power be so abundant?"

The military mage's guess was actually very accurate.

In fact, Xiuge did not actually snipe at the shadows hidden in the depths of the sea. Under his deliberate control, every magic bullet he fired was in an extremely unstable state. Once it escaped from him, My control will soon explode.

As long as these bullets mixed with a large amount of Dark Abyss magic power explode near the target, they will be enough to cause great damage to them.

Therefore, as Shuge continued to shoot, the twisted shadows existing in the magic field of vision were also continuously destroyed. Soon, some twisted fragments that could not be identified at all successfully surfaced, and what followed was It is a large amount of body fluids and blood mixed with psychedelic colors.

A large amount of magic steam emerged from the barrel of the far-eyed gun, and the magic crystal embedded in it also showed cracks and a strange light. So the soldiers on the side rushed over immediately, and they directly poured the barrels of alchemical solution into the barrel. It was sprinkled on the huge barrel, and when the temperature dropped slightly, it began to replace the magic crystals.

Such a scene made the soldiers who were also operating weapons stunned.

As sailors, they knew very well that the round of rapid fire they had just carried out had overloaded the long-range gun, and even the expensive crystals embedded in the gun had suffered serious damage during the shooting process.

This situation is absolutely impossible to happen in normal times, because in fact, even the most skilled shooter and the most dexterous loader cannot achieve such a high frequency of shooting.

The series of loud noises just now seemed like the sound of a row of small crystal cannons firing continuously.

"They are all under the sea. There are many of them. They will be here soon!"

Shuge, who stepped down from the weapon seat, issued a warning: "Be prepared to strafe and bombard the sea. I have only dealt with a small part of it just now."

After seeing with their own eyes the twisted corpses floating in the waves, no one would question Shuge's judgment. Therefore, the soldiers who were ready for combat immediately began to adjust the weapons deployed on the deck. At the same time, there were also many The few escorts who boarded the ship with the officials and noble passengers took out their firearms and weapons, preparing to shoot at any enemy that might appear at any time.

Unlike the Windless One, which could get Shuge's warning at any time, several small gunboats located further outside had already been directly impacted by those weird fish.

Perhaps because the response speed was not fast enough, or perhaps because it wanted to save crystals as much as possible, a gunboat located southwest of the Windless One did not activate the emergency protection ceremony of the hull in time, so the shadows traveling under the water succeeded. The ground clung to its hull.

It was a whale with a severely deformed body. Countless suction cups grew out of its skin surface, which allowed it to cling to the hull of the gunboat, while the huge, hill-like sarcoma was directly close to the hull.

Just as Shuge once saw in a dream, this huge sarcoma quickly split open from the middle, and countless sharp teeth were exposed to the gunboat sailors, and between these sharp teeth, there were many soft And the long and narrow tentacles extended out, they slapped hard on the deck of the gunboat, and rolled towards the soldiers who were in a state of panic.

Casualties inevitably occurred.

And its arrival seems particularly bloody and terrifying.

As professional soldiers, these sailors certainly expected death, but what happened before them completely exceeded the limit of their imagination. No one could have imagined that one day they and their comrades would be wrapped up in tentacles and dragged to the That huge "mouth" full of sharp teeth.

In the chaos, a soldier who was brave enough boarded a "giant machine gun" installed on the deck. He struggled to turn the handle and forcibly adjusted the muzzle to the appropriate position. He saw that he was still with him in the morning. The joking and boastful fellow villager was lifted high into the air by a tentacle. His hands and feet were moving wildly, looking like a funny puppet.

In just two seconds, with the vigorous swing of the tentacles, the figure was thrown into the sky. With a miserable cry, the body fell heavily on the deck, along with the rest. The blood of the victim was mixed together, while the huge tumor twitched violently, and more disgusting tentacles emerged from it, ready to search for more targets.

Stimulated by anger and panic, the soldier roared and pressed down the lever connected to the heavy trigger, and the pre-loaded crystal bullets were discharged forward at a specific rhythm, with terrifying impact and continuous small bursts. The large-scale magic explosion directly acted on the ferocious tumor, tearing a disgustingly huge gap in it on the spot.

The crystal spotlights installed on the "giant machine gun" shone on the twisting flesh, and the soldiers saw that a rich psychedelic color was flowing out quickly from inside these weird structures. They looked like those on the sea. Those strange lights and shadows are exactly the same.
