The sun is high

When the fleet where Shuge and others were located was attacked by the deep-sea swarm, the port where the Dawn Society was stationed, where the goddess of dawn was located, also ushered in riots.

The members of the Dawn Society, who had been prepared for a long time, were surprised to find that a large amount of water suddenly exploded from the sea outside the port, as if a large number of hungry fish were approaching the port under the sea.

The soldiers who were notified in advance entered combat status as soon as possible.

Although they had no way of confirming what exactly caused the water ripples and waves, under the orders of Daswell and other commanders, they decisively began pouring firepower toward the sea ahead.

The fire net constructed by heavy machine guns and small crystal cannons covered the sea in an instant. The rolling water patterns were broken on the spot, and the shadows hidden under the water were also exposed under the irradiation of a large number of lights. His true face.

If there are experienced fishermen present, they will definitely find that these entities rushing to the port pier are the schools of snapper that they used to rely on for a living.

Yes, snapper.

The most common snapper in seaside restaurants.

Even the bult snapper that fishermen are most familiar with and love the most!

However, these snappers, which usually grow up to the length of an adult's forearm, are obviously not normal anymore.

In the bright light woven by a large number of crystal spotlights, the deadly metal rain curtain quickly swept through the waves, and then a large number of huge figures covered with gray-blue scales surfaced in the surging blood.

Just like the deformities that Shuge and Weilin found in the fishermen's homes before, the bodies of these snappers have also undergone serious mutations.

They are the stitchers of nightmare images, possessing the most ferocious appearance in Linhai folklore.

An extraordinarily huge mutated snapper writhed violently under the stimulation of pain. Its body was already close to the size of an adult. There were several heads full of sharp teeth in the front of its huge body, and the fins on its back changed into... It's like a sail, and in the spray of blood, there are many things that are difficult to identify, like the shadows of limbs swinging...

After witnessing such a scene with their own eyes, the soldiers operating weapons and the mages preparing magic rituals no longer held any reservations. As the commanders of Dawn Society conveyed orders one after another, abundant firepower was completely released. , the sea surface outside the port terminal was immediately covered by a series of magic explosions, and the heavy crystal naval gun on the Dawn Goddess had also been adjusted in place.

A crystallized cannonball exploded just in time after entering the water. The terrifying impact ripped a small group of sea monsters trying to raid the dock into pieces of varying sizes. With the splash of waves, only a small one was left. Half of the deformed snapper soared and spun in the air, and landed heavily on the deck of a guarding gunboat.

For a moment, the strong smell of sea fish, blood and an indescribable weird smell rushed into the nostrils of a member of the Dawn Society. This member of the Dawn Society was born in the inland and did not like the ocean that much, so he He let out a retching sound on the spot, then immediately picked up his revolver rifle, shot the half of the strange fish that was shaking endlessly, and then kicked it into the corner with a flying kick.

"Ah, I hate fish! I swear I won't eat fish again for the next two years!"

"Don't talk nonsense. You don't eat fish either."

Another Dawn Society soldier raised his gun while cursing, and fired several shots at a shadow "lying" on the edge of the deck. After solving the hidden danger in front of him, he reached out and wiped a few drops of sea water from his face, and then He cast his gaze to the sea in the distance.

These giant, deformed snappers seem to be just testers for attack. On the sea surface behind them, you can vaguely see some floating colorful lights and shadows. Those weird colors rise and fall with the water waves, and they just stay there quietly. No further action was taken.

This soldier had stood guard near the laboratory before, and he remembered clearly that he had seen a similar light peeking through the crack of the laboratory door one night.

"Did they attack us for this reason?"

This question arose in the soldier's mind, but then, a group of waves exploded on the water not far away attracted his attention. Out of instinctive reaction, he immediately turned the weapon in his hand and pulled it in the direction of the waves. the trigger.

His reflexes are quick and his shooting is very accurate.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, what appeared in the huge exploding waves was not some deformed fish. With the adjustment of the two crystal spotlights, bright light shone on the sea, so people I was surprised to find that in the light, an extremely tall and strange figure emerged from the water.

It was as if it could stand directly in the water, with its upper body standing firmly among the turbulent waves.

The members of the Dawn Society almost immediately discovered that this strange human form was completely different from any of the Vann races they were familiar with. Although its upper body structure looked similar to humans, it appeared extremely tall, and its body surface seemed to be Covered with some kind of hard dark blue scales.

And its head exposed to the light is even more weird.

The soldier who fired first was completely dumbfounded.

On that flat face, he didn't see any facial features at all.

Eyes, nose, ears... organs like this did not exist at all. The only thing he could see was a huge mouth in the middle of the head. It protruded slightly and looked like something carnivorous. Big mouth of ocean fish.

"What the hell is this?"

The soldier stared and muttered to himself, and then he saw this strange figure raising his hand. In fact, it was more like a limb twisted with multiple tough tendrils. The end gently clicked twice on the figure's head.

A deformed metal bullet that was shallowly embedded in the scales was taken out.

This tiny foreign object was caught between its tentacles.

These lost beings with ancient origins seem to be seriously identifying and understanding these weapons that exist in the new era.

…

The Dawn Society did an excellent job in defending its port garrison.

With advance warning, their response was timely enough and the countermeasures they took were powerful enough.

In addition, they were backed by the garrison, with abundant supplies and fire support from multiple angles. Those weird attackers beyond ordinary people's understanding were not able to cause any real impact or damage to the Dawn Society's defense line.

However, for those people who are in the vast sea and can no longer find a place to stand except their own ships, everything that happens in this dark night is the most terrifying hell scene they can imagine. There is no difference anymore.

The crew of the Windless One were lucky.

Although the ship they boarded was not a warship in the actual sense, it had a solid enough magical protection ritual on board, as well as real experts who could directly fight against unknown dangers.

What made everyone present feel extremely at ease was not only the powerful strength that Xiuge showed that could directly eliminate danger, but also the arrangements and dispatches he made.

The more chaotic the moment, the more obvious the sense of security brought by those stable, orderly and reliable instructions.

After those weird creatures successfully approached the Windless One, people were even more grateful for the prudent decisions they had made in advance, because they discovered that the emergency protection rituals activated in advance on the Windless One were very effective against these attempts. It's very effective to close in on a ship and take advantage of monsters that board the decks and hull.

This huge ritual, which seriously consumes magic crystals every moment, continues to spread fatal magic impacts outwards. The soldiers saw with their own eyes a huge figure twice the size of an adult shark trying to get close to the Windless One. It was torn into pieces of varying sizes under the influence of the trembling ritual field. Even the psychedelic blood that burst out from the inside of the meat disappeared under the violent turbulence of magic power.

On the other side, the two sister armored ships Silver Shield and Dark Sea Sand were also lucky.

As an important symbol in the development of the navy in the Vanen civilization, armored ships have until now been able to provide the highest sense of security for their crews.

Even as the encirclement continued to shrink, the two armored ships also began to encounter the enemy at close range. However, the stable hull, solid armor, and fully equipped heavy weapons and protective rituals allowed them to successfully occupy the enemy's position in the confrontation. In order to gain the advantage, under the orders of the commanders of the two armored ships, those heavy naval guns even continued to support the rest of the ships in the fleet.

However, for the other three small escorting gunboats, these bizarre attackers were quite deadly.

The will of the ocean community, which can use consciousness to communicate with each other, regarded these three small ships as the primary attack targets at the beginning of the attack. Although during the attack, those powerful weapons brought serious harm to the life of the community. Damage, but after they successfully arrived at the side of the gunboat and began to board the ship using their deformed bodies, the situation quickly changed.

There is no doubt that the gunboat that did not activate the emergency protection ceremony at the first time paid a heavy price for this.

Under the cover of the other mages and soldiers, Xiuge got back on another long-range gun that had been set up. Through the long-range sight on it, he saw that the soldiers on the gunboat were being hunted or driven away by those weird limbs. , Xiuge could even see someone being thrown into the sea by the tentacles. Those soldiers who fell into the water did not even have time to struggle, and were swallowed up on the spot by the terrifying shadow that suddenly appeared in the turbulent waves.

Relying on his own personal ability, Xiuge once again began to shoot at key targets. However, soon after successfully crushing several dangerous "sarcomas", Xiuge discovered that many tiny shadows were passing through the damaged ones. Sarcoma boarded the gunboat.

These shadows looked like some kind of insects, and they seemed to be severely distorted sea fish. With his magic vision, Xiuge saw their slender fish-like bodies, and of course he also saw the shapes extending from these bodies. Some strange structures came out.

It seems that their bodies are deeply integrated with the tentacles of large shrimps, crabs or some molluscs.

This reminded Shuge directly of the horrific works created by a cartoonist with bad taste in another time and space.

Regarding these intruders, Shuge frowned directly. These deformed monsters boarding the ship were not too difficult to deal with, but their number was really exaggerated. For the gunboat soldiers who had begun to be forced into the cabin for defense In terms of security, these scattered intruders will cause great trouble.

At this moment, a violent tremor came from the metal disc, and the palace hound, which had been lying in the thick shadow, suddenly took the initiative to convey a vivid emotion to its master.

"What, are you finally interested?"

Xiuge asked in a low voice in the spiritual world, and he immediately received a clear reply - a hoarse growl filled with the desire to kill and hunt.

So, he immediately turned over from the seat of Yuanmu Gun, a dark purple light flashed in the palm of his hand, and the hound's teeth appeared.

The sight of using a "pistol" to shoot at such a long distance target is really absurd.

However, as Shuge pulled the trigger of this strange pistol, an extremely shocking and terrifying roar immediately sounded on the deck of the Windless One, and the nearby soldiers and mages trembled at the roar.

This kind of roar obviously has some kind of terrifying power, and it can easily evoke the most primitive fears in people's hearts. At this moment, they feel as if they are being dragged back to that distant era full of instability. There is no shelter for the weapon, and he can only be chased by cruel hunters in the dark forest with his bare hands.

The astonishing impact of the hound's teeth made Shuge's arms numb. He saw an extremely bright dark purple light and shadow tearing apart the night and rushing towards the gunboat in the distance like a huge arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the impact has occurred.

The barrel of a crystal cannon was unfortunately struck by the dark purple light and shadow, and the solid barrel exploded on the spot, and the solid metal structure and magic crystals installed on its surface evaporated on the spot and disappeared.

Next to this crystal cannon, a group of sarcoma that was pouring deformed fish onto the gunboat deck suddenly exploded. However, this time, not a single bit of flesh and blood fell down. The thick mist of the dark abyss was like a sheet that could swallow all things. The huge mouth swept away those entities that may have caused hidden dangers the moment it exploded.

The turbulent fog seemed to become a door connecting reality and the abyss. In the next moment, huge claws flashing with dangerous luster violently opened the crack, and a long and narrow hound head with scarlet eyes poked out and opened slightly. In its ferocious mouth, the forked tentacles and long tongue were slightly rolled up.

After successfully devouring and digesting the Dark Abyss Claw Spider, the Hound finally found a new hunting ground that interested him enough.

It can no longer hold it in any longer.
