Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

As Jami could see the scene in the darkness, he immediately controlled the seismic cannon below and took aim.

However, before he could launch, the monster seemed to notice the approaching danger, and the huge monster body sank directly to the bottom of the water.

Seeing this scene, Gami couldn't help but cursed loudly: "He sank to the bottom of the sea! Damn monster, he is really cunning."

However, others could not see the scene in the darkness at all, and could not help much.

It should be night outside at this time, and even if the dark clouds above suddenly thinned, it would not be able to cast sunlight in.

At this time, Alka suddenly reacted and quickly took apart the surrounding lanterns, took out the lighting stones inside, and then took out a few stored lighting stones from his ring.

Stack them together.

Four cards immediately appeared in his hand, and he threw them on the deck. The cards emitted a transparent light.

Four tall mirrors emerged.

The shape changes of the mirrors were controlled by Alka, who combined the mirrors to refract the light and stacked them around the lighting stones.

The light was gathered and refracted to form a searchlight, which illuminated the sea surface.

In an instant, a bright light appeared in the dark night, illuminating everyone.

The search beam locked on the tentacles protruding from the sea surface.

With the addition of this beam, everyone can finally play their respective roles.

Two more slender tentacles swung up.

A few threads condensed and shot over to tightly wrap around the two tentacles.

Andre jumped up suddenly, blue light condensed on his right fist, and then hit one of the tentacles hard.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, the location where it was hit broke directly, and the entire tentacle fell down.

Xia Daiti swept the other tentacle with the same whip leg.

The fluorescence on the whip legs sliced ​​through like a blade, cutting off the tentacles.

Turbid red blood splashed out.

The two tentacles used for attack broke immediately when they met, and the broken tentacles were controlled by Vanessa with silk threads and pulled up to the deck.

"Ooooooooo!"

The monster was in pain, and the intense pain erupted from part of its body and screamed.

Seizing this opportunity, Gami immediately opened fire, and several cannonballs were fired fiercely, smashing into the sea.

Splashes of water enveloped the monster. When the water splashed down, blood appeared on the sea surface.

Xia Daiti immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it to the side of the boat, and a faint wave of magic power shot down.

He turned around and shook his head.

The monster was not dead, but had already sunk to the bottom of the sea and fled away.

All that was left was two slender tentacles falling to the deck, still twitching slowly.

"Is this a sea monster?" Alka couldn't help but said as he looked at the two tentacles.

Andre nodded, looked at the two tentacles and said, "This should be the cub of a sea monster."

"Is this still a cub?"

Alka couldn't help but said in surprise.

This tentacle is not a whole one, it is just split in the middle. Then such a tentacle was at least as thick as half of Alka's body, and its length reached an astonishing four or five meters.

This is just the part where they come up to attack.

The overall tentacle length is at least 10 meters. Such a huge squid sea monster is actually just a cub.

How exaggerated is it to be an adult? He shouldn't be able to smash a sailboat into pieces with just two casual moves.

"There is no way. It is actually very rare to encounter sea monsters attacking ships in the open sea. However, in the dark realm, due to the large number of sea monsters, it is not surprising to encounter such a thing."

While the two were talking, Gami drove his machine to the tentacles that were still twitching.

A steel tentacle stretched out, seemingly inspecting the broken tentacle.

"Unlike the sea monsters in the sea outside, these sea monsters are not edible and can only be used for various materials related to spells."

Andre knew a lot and continued talking beside him.

After a while, Gami also nodded.

"These two root tentacles are almost filled with the power of darkness. They will be very good when used in conjunction with darkness-related spells."

The darkness here generally refers to the spells related to the night and shadows. It is darkness in a realistic sense, not in a negative sense.

"Okay, okay, let's clean the deck. His blood is mixed with magic power and is very corrosive. It is difficult for the ship's automatic cleaning to clean this kind of thing."

Andre said, and went directly into the small storage room next to him and took out a lot of brushes and buckets for cleaning the deck.

To be honest, this is the first time Alka has seen this kind of thing that can often be seen on other ships in the few months since he boarded the ship.

Everyone was given a set of tools, and the fourth-level members in the cabin also brought several buckets of clean water up from below.

Start cleaning up the blood from the place where the battle took place on the deck.

At this time, Uncle Hamomat and other secondary members could only stand by and do something.

In Andre's words, these blood stained with darkness are highly corrosive and will cause certain harm to humans.

Ordinary people are not exposed and have no protection. If they are infected, they will easily get sick.

Although they may only be minor illnesses, it is best to minimize them to reduce trouble on such a sea.

After doing this, everyone cleaned up the dirt on their bodies and returned to the cabin to rest. They were not in the mood to continue playing cards.

However, this little sea monster cub, which was not very powerful, really calmed their depressed mood.

…

Blood Alliance Calendar Year 456, September 10th.

It's getting darker and darker, and now it's hard to see sunlight shining through the dark clouds even during the day.

If it were not for these things that might be encountered, the light shining through the clouds would be a reminder, and the perception of day and night would definitely be completely confused.

And the Dark Realm is much more dangerous than I thought. Everything here is extremely fatal to ordinary humans.

But judging from the excitement in the southeast corner, there are countless ordinary people sailing in the dark realm hoping to make huge profits.

Wealth can really blind one's eyes to reality.

As we get closer and closer to the point of darkness, the surrounding becomes more and more dangerous.

———

Alka stopped writing on the diary and closed it.

"Are you writing a diary these days?"

Lucilia asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, lying crookedly on the bed.

Alka nodded.

"Then do you want to continue learning the ancient Buddhist language today?"

"I've been studying all morning. That's it for today. I'll go out and get some fresh air."

As Alka stood up, hearing that Alka was about to go out, Lucilia got into the necklace without hesitation.

As they got closer to the point of darkness, they went deeper and deeper into the dark realm.

Now Lucilia would not come out anywhere but in her room.

Because there is a protective spell in the room and it is airtight.

The dark elements blowing in the air with the sea breeze will make her feel uncomfortable.

In Lucilia's words, it was as if she was walking through the desert and the scorching sun was burning her skin crazily.

Although the injury is definitely not fatal, it will definitely make people feel irritable and will become more and more uncomfortable as time goes by.

As Alka came to the deck, it was still extremely dark even though there were several lighting stones hung on the deck.

Their destination was in the middle of the entire Dark Territory, still quite a distance away from the core area of ​​the darkness' breaking point.

Judging from the speed of sailing, they are basically in the middle position now.

The darkness here has made it difficult for the lighting stones to dispel.

A card appeared in the hand.

As the card emitted light, a mirror appeared on top of the card. Following Alka's control, it turned into a ring shape, and different refracting surfaces appeared.

Alka lit the lighting stone and placed it in the middle, and the simple flashlight was ready.

The light refraction of the mirror is quite useful in such a dark realm.

"Alka, you're here."

Seeing the formation of such a beam, Jason, who was doing simple vigilance on the watchtower, spoke out.

"Stay down, I will take over your guard duty."

A lantern appeared on the observation tower on the main mast, and then the light source quickly slid down the zipline.

The light source moved over, and Alka also saw Jason at this time.

Now Jason looked a little weak, his hair was a little messy, even his beard had grown long, and he hadn't taken care of it.

He looked a little sloppy. After all, he had been sailing in a dark place for so long, and for some reason he began to pay less and less attention to his image.

He came over and patted Alka on the shoulder: "Okay, you go up, I'll take a rest."

"have a good rest."

Alka said and climbed up the rope ladder.

The observation tower on the main mast has a relatively spacious space, and the movement here does not seem crowded.

There is a small copper bell the size of a human head on the top.

Once you find something wrong, you can ring this small bell and pass on the sound of warning.

Usually they rarely come to warn.

But not now.

Secondary members can't even get on the deck now, as the spreading darkness will damage their bodies.

So the main members began to take turns to be on guard.

Although nothing can be seen in the darkness, you can feel the strangeness of the ship on the watchtower. There is such a spell setting here.

Especially being able to sense danger within the ship's range.

"Darkness is really exhausting." Alka couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"It's okay, it's like looking in the mirror."

Lucilia's voice came.

In order to pass the boring time, the two began to chat slowly.

Darkness and loneliness, if there's no one to talk to, can drive you crazy.

While the two were chatting, a beeping sound suddenly sounded below.

A burst of panicked footsteps appeared on the deck.

The mirror flashlight that Alka had been maintaining immediately shined downwards.

I saw Matt and Lipoka trying their best to carry Hammer and run towards the infirmary.

Vanessa heard the noise and came out. When she saw the two men's actions, she immediately ran over, hugged Hammer and walked into the infirmary.

The hugged Hammer was still struggling wildly.

He was talking something with his mouth open. Since Alka was located some distance away from the deck at this time, and coupled with the howling of the wind in the darkness, what he heard was not very real.

"He was saying stop singing, stop singing."

Lucilia's voice, whose hearing was not affected by the wind, came from the mirror.

"Don't sing anymore?"

Alka was a little confused, what did this mean?

"Didn't your captain say before that darkness can cause mental abnormalities in people? Maybe that's what he's in now."

After hearing Lucilia's prompt, Alka remembered and nodded.

Yes, it seems that was indeed said.

But isn’t it said that the ship is considered safe? This problem may only arise when you have to leave the island.

But then I thought about it, this warning itself was meant for those who touched it.

Ordinary people with worse physiques and without active magic power for protection may also be affected by this on the ship.

But now that Alka is on guard, he can only hold on to his curiosity and wait for someone to change the guard.
