We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

The sound of waves reached my ears.

A gust of salty sea breeze blew across the deck, ruffling the captain's uniform on Sean's body.

Similar to the last promotion ritual, he was on the projection of the [Black Swan].

However, the weather here is far different from the beautiful sunny day last time.

The sky was dark and dull, the clouds low and gloomy.

There was a dark and hazy mist lingering on the sea on both sides of the ship's hull, and Shane could even smell the hidden malice in it.

"The person who came here is not good."

Xia En sighed softly and became extremely vigilant.

Although he seemed to talk very casually, deep down he still attached great importance to the promotion ritual.

On the other hand, with the experience of the last promotion.

How does Xia En know that his promotion ritual seems to be different from others?

Especially in terms of difficulty, it is simply ridiculously high!

at this time.

The wind and waves on the sea became stronger little by little.

Under the already dark sea surface, a huge shadow gradually emerged.

The shadow is like a swelling and shrinking mass of flesh, covering the nearby sea area. At its edge, there are a large number of tentacles that are constantly extending and squirming, like thousands of waving limbs.

"hiss……"

Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn't help but his eyelids twitched slightly, and a strong ominous warning arose in his heart.

At the same time, several lines of information appeared in front of his eyes.

[Trial mission:]

[Escape from the sea area where they are, or survive their pursuit for 48 hours. 】

[If the tester dies or the ship sinks into the secret sea, the mission will be deemed a failure! 】

[Note: The flow of time in this sea area is twice as fast as reality. 】

After reading this information, Xia En's lips twitched.

"Escape...persist..."

These words clearly told him that it was almost unrealistic to contend head-on with the existence under the sea.

However, another thing that made Xia En secretly frightened was the comment about the speed of time.

"Is this the [Secret Sea]... It can even affect things at the level of time and space."

While he was organizing his thoughts.

The surrounding wind and waves became visibly larger.

Waves stronger than the previous one began to come in continuously from a distance, and the hull of the [Black Swan] swayed in the wind and waves.

Some hazy, vaguely frightening emotions spread along the deck into Xia En's mind.

Even if it is just a projection, it still has some characteristics similar to Xiao Hei.

"Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid, I am your captain and I will take you out of here."

Without hesitation, Xia En quickly walked to the rudder of the ship and took hold of the familiar yet unfamiliar steering wheel.

boom!

In an instant, his will washed over the entire ship like a wave, spreading in all directions.

The deck, sails, masts, keels, steam turbines... these components that seemed to be inconsistent with reality still responded to his call resolutely and operated as before.

The captain's majesty cannot be questioned, and at the same time, he also shoulders the fate of the entire ship!

Xia En shouted: "Set sail! Move forward!"

The steam core roared deep in the cabin, all the cannons began to rotate, and the raised sails absorbed the wind.

A loud and roaring whistle sounded across the sea!

The [Black Swan] suddenly picked up speed and rushed towards the thick fog with no way forward.

Wow!

At the next moment, a pitch-black tentacle that was thicker than the mast emerged from the sea and slammed down on the [Black Swan]!

There are suckers of various sizes on the tentacles, and each sucker seems to have a moving eyeball.

Countless sharp teeth are scattered around the edges of the eyeballs.

The moment the tentacles appeared, a low and hoarse murmur echoed around.

There was blasphemous malice in this whisper, and the shadows condensed out of thin air in the whisper, causing Xia En to frown slightly.

However, due to the sudden surge in speed of [Black Swan].

This time the tentacles struck in vain.

Only a huge, turbid wave was set off on the sea.

However, Shane did not relax.

Because, under the dark water, there are more tentacles, big or small, surfacing!

"It's only the second-level promotion trial, so why don't you give me this?"

Even with Xia En's psychological quality, he also had some thoughts of scolding her at this time.

But now, things have reached a point of no return.

There is still a glimmer of hope to ride the wind and waves forward, but if you are afraid of hands and feet, there is only a dead end!

Thinking of this, a fighting spirit emerged from Xia En's heart, and he roared amidst the roaring waves.

"Fire! Shoot the hell out of me!"

boom! boom! boom!

The artillery on both sides of the hull received the captain's order and immediately began the first round of bombardment.

——This projected ship completely replicates the current situation of the [Black Swan], and the ammunition on the ship is no exception.

In an instant, a loud noise like thunder roared across the entire sea area.

The shells roared across the sky and landed on the nearest dark tentacles at the end of the parabola.

These defensive cannons, which were purchased at a large price and have been strengthened, are very powerful. They can directly crack the flesh of the tentacles and bleed out dark purple filthy blood.

And those shells that didn't hit also stirred up huge water columns on the sea, causing the shadows under the sea to tremble slightly.

Regrettably.

The effects such as [Desecration] and [Pollution] attached to the cannonballs are not effective against the strange tentacles.

Mostly because their secret powers have something in common.

After being injured by the shells, the tentacles became more and more manic and restless, and even let out a wild and uncomfortable roar.

This sound is somewhat similar to the roar of the [Deep Sea Murloc] in the last promotion ritual.

Immediately, some smaller but more flexible tentacles emerged from the sea surface from the bow of the [Black Swan] and climbed onto the deck, trying to entangle the ship and slow down its progress.

Seeing this, Xia En's eyes narrowed.

He knew that once the [Black Swan] slowed down and was dragged into the sea by its tentacles, it was only a matter of time!

Without any hesitation, Xia En pulled out the sword from his waist, strode forward, and slashed at the tentacles on the deck.

The sword flashed and blood splattered.

Several broken tentacles fell on the deck.

Those eyes full of teeth stared at Xia En fiercely, and soon lost their life.
