Chapter 201 Thunder Shelling (14)

"The pirate ship is approaching, very fast."

The survey ship heading southwest sailed in silence, and the increasingly intense thunder almost covered the noise of the waves. Even two people in the cabin who wanted to chat face to face had to shout loudly to let the other party hear own voice.

On the contrary, Ian, who holds the silent sound ring, can block the sound of the outside world after a little adjustment, leaving only the voices of people within its range of action.

At this moment, with the feedback from the silver chip, he has already noticed that the pirate fleet in the distance has started to move.

The natives are estimated to be similar, at best a little slower.

Of course, sharks are also approaching.

It can be said that if you don't move, you're done, and if you move, it's amazing.The previous silence gave him an illusion, but now that everyone is attacking together, the situation in the South China Sea will be turbulent and unpredictable.

Originally, he thought that Master Gesai's move ahead of time might really make Patrick and others a little confused, but now it seems that the encounter time will be delayed a little.

Actions on all sides have already begun.

At this time, there is no need to hide.

Ian directly reported the information that 'there may be a large unknown fleet' to Goser.

The reason is that he sensed an unusually strong scent of vegetation, which is very similar to the merchant ships that the elves used to come to Harrison Port in the past, but it is slightly different.

This is not a lie. The living wooden boat is good for everything, but it really can't block the fluctuation of its own source quality.

This is originally a good thing, it can drive away some sharp and powerful sea beasts, and it can also attract some small fish that are instinctively close to life. It is also a mobile seaweed farming plant, which allows the ship to have supplies without returning to shore for a long time.

But it is really difficult for them to cover up their whereabouts, so whether it is early warning or tracking, the living wooden boat is always the one that suffers.

As for why pirates who obviously need to cover up their whereabouts, use live wooden boats...

Canaan Moore is full of living wooden boats, and the source quality fluctuates complicatedly, just like the old power grid connection lines that have not been repaired in 50 years. It is really a mess, and there is no way to start... On the contrary, it is the best hidden method.

It's just that living wooden boats are relatively rare along the coast of the empire, so Ian's saying that he sensed the other party's source quality breath is exaggerated, but it is not impossible.

"The pirates on Canaan Moore... tsk, such a big deal must be made by a few big figures in the Ellen family who have such financial resources and methods!"

Master Gosser did not doubt Ian's judgment.

In fact, he had already guessed.

The good thing is that the storm in the South China Sea is very violent now, and even a large ship cannot sail at full speed—but for the Low Light with the Cloud Shaper, all this is not a problem, and its speed will not decrease at all.

unless……

"We are stepping into the center of the anomalous psionic field."

The thunder above the head became more and more dense, and the thunder of this intensity could almost be called a thunderstorm.

Even Ian, who has lived in the South China Sea for so long, has seen lightning arcs of similar density in the dance of the thunder-hunting jellyfish around the Tantan Cliff.

Master Goser obviously also noticed this, he asked the captain to slow down the sailing, and called all the sublimated people to come to a meeting.

It would be a lie to say that these sublimators and crew members are ignorant of the risks.The Platinum Iridium Workshop issued a five-fold salary and a death guarantee. Everyone knows that going to sea this time is definitely not just a simple job of collecting a crystal shell—everyone is ready to fight the sea beast to the death, even with the natives. Rush is also expected.

But a sea battle with pirates in a storm... This kind of thing is still a bit unexpected.

"Can't we call the local lord to come over and wipe out the pirates?"

This was the captain's opinion, and his opinion was affirmed by Ian: "I sent the signal just now, and it's no surprise that Lord Viscount has already set off."

"But after all, it's a storm. It may take a while for him to find us. At that time, we estimate that we have been fighting for a while."

It is common sense that the official power will always be one step behind.

But the captain was worried: "The wind and waves are too strong. Without the help of Master Gesai, our boat may not last long..."

This is indeed the worry of everyone, including Ian.

Outside the control of Master Gesai, the wind and waves outside can already beat huge waves seven or eight meters high. After all, the Low Light is only a modified small and medium-sized frigate.

The only good thing is that the low beam is very strong, and it will drift with the wind and waves at most, but it will not capsize.

Others may be worried about the consequences of being chased by the enemy when the ship cannot control its own movement, but Ian is worried about another matter.

"The prelude to the mutation has already begun."

In the vision of foreseeing, the natural psionic field of the entire South China Sea is changing slightly—the white mist all over the sky is becoming more and more dense, and even at the top of the storm, the direction of the clouds intertwined with countless thunders has already appeared. Strands of light blue field arc light.

It's a field similar to Tsao Tan Cliff, but many times larger than Tsao Tan Cliff.

Today's storm is the fuse of the mutation.

This was within Ian's expectations.

Unexpectedly, Zhanhai Crystal Dragon was the fuse of this unusual storm.

The storm is the fuse of the mutation, and the crystal dragon is the fuse of the storm...

In a sense, this crystalline dragon is the fuse of the labyrinth, the core of the core!

"That Zhanhai crystalline dragon... is actually so close to the labyrinth?"

Because the main point of attention has not been it, but a target like the native Patrick who has a personal threat.

So until now, Ian realized that he seemed to have ignored this alien species bred in the maze.

——The labyrinth will breed powerful monsters as their own 'guards', which is common sense in the Terra continent.

But on the other hand, the maze guard should also be able to influence, or in other words, catalyze the activation of the power of the maze.

and……

——Water dragon, can it also induce the power of thunder?

When Ian wanted to ask whether their target was a crystal dragon of the water attribute, he saw a sudden change in the expression of Master Gesai.

"Oops."

He said hurriedly, and the hunchbacked old man quickly left the cabin and came to the deck with a keen action that did not belong to his age.

The gale around the dipped beam became more violent and rapid.

At the same time, heavy roar followed closely with thunder——

Boom boom boom!
Huge water splashes suddenly exploded in the sea area around the Low Light. The terrible explosion happened in the shallow water area, and it actually blew up the surrounding waves for a while, causing the ship to shake.

After realizing this, not only Master Gosai, but everyone present changed their expressions.

"This is shelling!"
