This is a gigantic sea monster that looks similar to the giant squid in the previous life. Judging from its size, the body of this sea monster is at least fifteen meters long, and its tentacles are about thirty meters long. Each of the suction cups on the giant tentacles is as big as a washbasin.

And that pair of huge eyes were much larger than the millstones in the mill. At this moment, this pair of huge eyes were several meters underwater, staring at the Lighthouse through the blue sea.

Richard could easily feel the cruelty, coldness and bloodthirstiness in the other person's eyes!

"It's a giant squid!!" Tino, who was standing by, gradually saw the appearance of the sea monster hidden under the water and immediately shouted.

"Captain Casper, prepare the giant ballista!"

Tino was indeed an experienced wizard on board the ship. He identified the type of sea monster at once and notified the captain immediately, asking the captain to make targeted preparations for battle.

Seeing Tino's anxious expression, Richard couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir Tino, is this giant squid difficult to deal with?"

"It's very difficult to deal with! Sir Richard, although the giant squid has low intelligence, it is extremely ferocious. Its dozens of tentacles are slippery and tough, and it is difficult to be injured by swords and knives. It is extremely difficult to deal with."

"You just saw that even the Whip Naga was unwilling to take the risk of killing it, and only drove it away."

"Moreover, the giant tentacle squid is extremely vengeful. Once it escapes during an encirclement, it will definitely look for an opportunity to take revenge after its wounds heal." Tino explained quickly.

While the two were talking.

“Gurgle gurgle!”

The sound of wooden wheels rolling was heard on the deck.

Richard turned his head and saw four objects over three meters long covered with black cloth being slowly pushed out of the cabin. When the sailors pulled back the black cloth, the full picture of the giant crossbow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The sharp triangular cone arrows, as big as an adult's head, flashed with cold light. It was obvious at a glance that these crossbows were well maintained with daily maintenance.

Usually, you must wipe off the animal grease regularly and wrap it with oilcloth on a daily basis.

Otherwise, it would have rusted long ago in the humid air at sea!

There were four strong men surrounding each crossbow cannon, who were loading huge three-meter-long crossbow arrows. This kind of crossbow arrow was different from the ones Richard had seen before. In addition to the sharp arrowhead, there were many fine iron curved hooks similar to fishing hooks on both sides of the steel arrow shaft.

In addition, there is a long rope at the tail of the crossbow arrow.

Obviously, the rows of hooks on both sides of the crossbow are intended to increase lethality and dragging force.

Once it hits a living organism, it can hook the object like a fishhook.

At this time, Captain Casper stood on the side of the ship with a scimitar in his hand and shouted, "The target is currently two hundred meters away, crossbowmen, get ready!"

The effective range of the giant crossbow is one hundred meters. The captain's first order was more of a warning.

I saw the giant crossbow being pushed to the side of the ship. The crossbowman who was responsible for aiming and shooting was half-crouching on the side of the crosshairs, his eyes fixed on the water through the crosshairs.

"The target is currently one hundred and fifty meters away!"

As the giant squid approached quickly, the atmosphere on the deck became even more tense! "The target is currently one hundred meters away! Fire!" Captain Casper swung his scimitar forward and shouted.

As soon as the words fell!

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Four crossbow arrows, dragging long ropes at their tails, struck the huge black shadow under the water like lightning.

“Puff!!”

Two huge crossbow arrows hit the giant squid's body directly at the same time, while the other two crossbow arrows missed slightly and did not hit the giant squid under the water.

“Crash!”

Huge splashes of water hit its face. Obviously, the damage from the crossbow arrow just received made the giant squid both painful and angry.

These "foods" actually dare to resist!

Just as the sailors quickly loaded the second crossbow and prepared to attack again.

Suddenly, large amounts of black liquid emerged from the originally blue sea water. The black liquid was like thick fog, covering a large area in an instant, and the giant squid was no longer easy to find!

"The crossbow target is forty meters away, fire!!" Captain Caspe shouted at the top of his lungs.

Although the captain standing on the side of the ship could not see the exact location of the giant squid at this moment, with years of experience, Captain Caspe immediately reported an estimated distance and directed the sailors to shoot!

In this case, this is the best decision!

Whether the shot hits the target or not, it will make the sailors forget their fear while executing orders!

“Puff!!”

A series of extremely sharp crossbow arrows were shot into the sea.

“Bang!”

The entire Lighthouse suddenly shook violently! The speed of the ship dropped drastically, and a sound similar to that of a drum was heard from the bottom of the ship!

"Oh no! The giant squid must have already attached itself to the bottom of our ship. That must have been the sound of the suction cup." Tino reacted immediately.

After hearing what Tino said, Captain Casper's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Everyone, take your positions, and get your harpoons ready!"

"Notify the bilge to close all the air holes!"

"Adjust the position of the crossbow, facing the deck!"

A series of orders came out from Captain Caspe's mouth.

“Crash!”

“Ahhh!!”

Suddenly, a huge tentacle as thick as a man's arms emerged from the side of the ship. It swept across the deck violently, immediately knocking away two sailors who were holding harpoons on the deck.

One of them was unlucky and was caught in mid-air by the huge gray and slippery tentacle, and the basin-sized suction cup immediately began to suck.

“Slurp! Slurp!”

The originally strong man suddenly became skinny, like a skeleton! He didn't even have time to scream, and all the body fluids, brain matter, blood, etc. were sucked clean by the suction cups on the giant tentacles like juice!

This horrifying scene immediately filled many sailors with fear.

But this scene was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen slippery gray tentacles began to fly in the sky on both sides of the ship, constantly sweeping the many sailors on the deck.

The sailors began to fight back with swords, battle axes and other weapons, but unfortunately, without the strength of a full knight, one sword strike could not cause much damage to the rubber-tough tentacles.

When an ordinary sailor chopped at it, he would only leave a white scratch on the gray and slippery surface of the tentacle, without even damaging the skin.

This is the terrifying power of a giant marine supernatural creature! Its huge size naturally forms a super strong defense.

More tentacles from the giant squid began to probe into the cabin through holes on both sides of the ship that had not yet been closed.

Soon, screams and cries of women and children began to be heard in the cabin! "Dang!!"

With everyone's combined efforts, they cut off a giant tentacle! The light blue blood immediately soaked a large area of ​​the deck, and the broken tentacle continued to twist on the deck, like a giant python, showing its strong vitality.

But the short-lived victory seemed to further anger the giant squid, and in an instant, four or five huge tentacles attacked this side at the same time.

"boom!!"

A fireball the size of a human head hit a tentacle, almost breaking it in half. A strong smell of burning instantly filled the deck.

It was Tino who attacked! The other tentacles were instantly entangled by several thick iron chains. Just now, a huge monster suddenly appeared on the deck and started to wrestle head-on with these powerful tentacles.

This kind of thing that is beyond human power was naturally done by Richard's evil spirit.

“Bang!”

The giant iron axe in the hands of the evil spirit chopped off a giant tentacle that was fixed by an iron chain on the spot, but it was also knocked down by another giant tentacle that suddenly attacked.

The vengeful abomination that kept swinging its giant iron axe and chain hammer attracted the attention of at least four or five giant tentacles alone.

This immediately reduced the pressure on the human sailors defending on the deck.

The situation that was about to collapse immediately became quite stable after Richard joined, but the current battle was not the key to winning.

The giant squid has dozens of tentacles. If you want to cut them off one by one, it will take at least half an hour to do so.

But in another half an hour, all the passengers on the ship would probably have been killed by the giant squid.

Moreover, after killing several giant tentacles, there is a high probability that this giant tentacled squid will abandon the ship and escape.

These giant tentacles of it have the ability to regenerate. Once they grow out again, they will definitely come back to seek revenge. Not to mention, the heroic sacrifice of the sailors on the Lighthouse will become meaningless! So, Richard thought about it and asked Tino beside him:

"We can't go on like this!"

"Tino, is there any way to attack the giant squid?"

This made Tino, who was casting the fireball spell, stunned. The giant octopus body located at the bottom of the ship was difficult to attack directly. Did he have to jump into the sea and fight the giant octopus? The people on the ship were all humans, not sea creatures. Tino obviously had no good solution for this.

"Sir, several crossbow arrows just now hit the giant squid's body. As long as someone turns the pulley, it can be dragged out of the sea. But at the moment, the boys can't gather together!"

Captain Casper took one look at Tino's frowning expression and immediately took the initiative to speak.

This made Richard and Tino raise their eyebrows. What a good idea! He is worthy of being the captain and has rich sailing experience!

"Very good, Captain Casper, let the sailors come over to pull the rope!" Richard agreed decisively.

"Leave the giant tentacle on the deck to me."

As the huge green inverted pentagram witch formation flashed, a skeleton monster more than three meters tall emerged from it again. After receiving Richard's order, the blood-bone puppet covered with sharp bone blades took a step forward and rushed directly towards the giant tentacles that were wreaking havoc on the deck like a whirlwind.

It is difficult to break the skin of these slippery and extremely tough giant tentacles with ordinary swords and knives, but for the blood-bone puppets with top-level strength, a sharp bone blade can chop down and instantly leave the giant tentacles with only a layer of skin hanging on.

The entire giant tentacle was almost cut in half!

Moreover, compared to the slow-moving Wraith Abomination, the Blood Bone Puppet moves much faster.

So, in just a dozen seconds, it cut off four or five giant tentacles in succession.

This immediately greatly stimulated the giant-tentacled octopus. It mobilized all of its giant tentacles that were wreaking havoc in the cabin and began to besiege the blood-bone puppet.

But unfortunately, facing the extremely fast-moving blood and bone puppets, these giant tentacles are often broken and escaped by the blood and bone puppets as soon as they establish an encirclement.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of strong sailors began to pull several ropes like a tug-of-war.

"Pull the rope!" Captain Caspe waved his arms rhythmically.

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

The sailors worked together to drag the giant in the sea up step by step with ropes! The combined strength of human beings and the labor-saving effect of the pulley system began to be reflected at this moment.

The giant squid under the water also felt the direct damage to its body from the crossbow arrow with barbs that penetrated deep into its body.

The extreme pain forced the giant squid to release the suction cup that was originally tightly attached to the bottom of the boat. Suddenly, the body of the giant squid was dragged by the rope and began to slowly emerge from the water.

This immediately made Tino very happy, and he said, "Sir Richard, the middle of the giant squid's two eyes is its fatal weakness! As long as it is penetrated, it can be killed directly. I hope you can take action in time."

"Of course!" Richard nodded.

"Boys, work harder and drag the sea monster up for me!!" Captain Caspe continued to shout.

“Victory is at hand!”

However, the giant squid seemed to have sensed something was wrong at this moment. A hint of fear appeared in its huge eyes, and it began to try its best to dive underwater.

This made the sailors on the ship almost unable to hold the ropes in their hands.

"How can a tug-of-war be played without the presence of the vengeful spirits and abominations?" Richard immediately gave orders to the vengeful spirits and abominations.

Immediately, the vengeful spirit narrowed its eyes in hatred, quickly came to the side of the ship, and threw all the three thick iron chains on its body at the giant squid.

"Crash! Crash!"

The iron hook, flashing with a cold light, pierced deeply into the body of the giant squid!

Suddenly, the giant squid let out a miserable cry.

“Puff!!”

A streak of extremely thick black ink spurted out directly from the tail of the giant squid, pouring onto the slightly smug face and body of the vengeful abomination.

This scene made Stephanie laugh.

"Good opportunity!" Richard said secretly. He just caught the moment when the giant squid was pulled out of the water.

"Mental shock!"

"Death ray!"

After a transparent energy wave hit the giant squid, a black beam of light followed and directly pierced through the center of the giant squid's eyebrows.

In an instant, the giant squid's entire body stiffened and it stopped moving on the spot!

The two huge eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Oh!! I win!!"

“We won!!”

"We defeated the sea monster!!!"

On the deck, the sailors of the Lighthouse cheered! (End of this chapter)
