Chapter 218: Lighthouse! We saw the lighthouse!
Above the gloomy sea, on the Mermaid, the flag of the Black Whale Regiment continued to flutter in the storm.
The long waterproof boots slowly stepped across the blood-stained floor.
The Flesh Mage pushed back his wet hair, walked carefully past a dozen strong women, and finally came to a huge red sofa.
In front of the red sofa, there sits a tall, hot, thinly dressed woman with red curly hair. She is like a noble queen, teasing the people around her.
The Flesh Mage said:
"Auntie, I'm back."
Carol blew on the pipe in her hand, as if she didn't fully notice the small flesh mage in front of her.
The Flesh Mage immediately followed up with:
"Auntie, the Flower Witch refused to join us, the Blood Blade Pirates..."
Carol exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"Let's get to the point! That witch lady couldn't possibly join us. After all, we are sworn enemies. But what about that new hunter that appeared in the sea? I feel that he is quite suitable for the style of our Black Whale Group. He matches the style of many of our cadres, such as my little crow and Doctor Black Death..."
“Neither do I.”
The Flesh Mage replied calmly.
Bang!
Almost at the moment he finished speaking, a strong iron whip hit his face, and blood instantly spilled onto the ground.
The Flesh Mage had a blank expression on his face, as if he couldn't feel any pain. This was the punishment for failing the mission, and he had to accept it.
Hold on, this is just a small task, the punishment cannot be too severe, and being beaten by the hot Aunt Carol is a reward for many people... The Flesh Mage comforted himself.
However, the next second, he saw Carol's ferocious expression like a tiger.
Carol played with the iron whip in her hand:
"Did the hunter refuse firmly? If I give you another chance, privately, and approach him again, what are the chances of him joining?"
Hearing this question, the Flesh Mage was silent for a moment.
Carol, who is always irritable, is actually asking about this matter.
Is this answer really important... The Flesh Mage replied reluctantly:
"Ninety percent. If we meet in private, with his strength, he will lose all his confidence the moment he sees my flesh and blood spell. With a little bit of temptation, he will undoubtedly be a member of our Black Whale Group. At that time, the Meat Chopping and Bone Breaking will also be taken back..."
"Ninety percent?"
Carol raised the corners of her mouth slightly and leaned back:
"Forget it. In my opinion, it's only 50%. Unless you use violence, you won't be able to defeat him. Just like the little black-eyed guy on the Sawshark, only absolute violence can tame that hunter. I'm very interested in this guy.
And remember, don't kill him without my order."
Carol said, turning the gun around:
"Remember, this is an order, otherwise, I will make you drink wine."
Order...A drop of cold sweat appeared on the hand of the Flesh Mage.
Why? Why does Carol want the Black Hunter so much? Why? Is the Black Hunter's life more precious than his? Or is it because the Black Hunter's charm is higher than his?
The Flesh and Blood Mage didn't understand for a moment, and even felt a little jealous.
You know, he who is only pursuing power is not even qualified to be Carol's lover!
"Forget it. This matter has to be done slowly. After the Blood Blade Pirates are gone, the Black Hunters, the Witches, and this sea area will all be ours sooner or later."
Then, Carol continued to ask:
"By the way, how did they react to this action?"
The Flesh Mage answered truthfully:
“The Blood Lady was as sad as ever, and the moment the Mad Wolf Fenrir saw the Shell Dragon at my feet, he was filled with fear.
I think that after this threat, the Blood Blade Pirates will quickly dispatch the Blood Blade Pirates' exploration ship to the naval research base, and for the sake of time, they will definitely choose the shortest route. No, there is no safe route there..."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Carol smiled faintly:
"Yes, yes. Once the Blood Blade Pirates' ships join the battle and become bait, everything will be easy."
Bait... The Flesh Mage felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
Because next, he will also take an exploration ship to the navy's research base!
He is the overall person in charge of this exploration mission.
He clenched his fist and asked slowly:
"Auntie, I want to ask, what happened to the exploration ships that entered the naval research base earlier? So much so that we need the Blood Blade Pirates to join us and become the so-called 'bait'..."
In addition to winning over the witch and the black hunter, this action also has a more important purpose, which is to use the method of "showing power" to make the Blood Blade Pirates immediately join the battle, the sooner the better.
In the past three days, the ten exploration ships that were supposed to return home have all been destroyed in the waves of the sea and there has been no news since then.
In order to continue to lose combat power, the Black Whale Group needs a sufficiently powerful "vanguard" and a sufficiently large "bait".
This time the warning was that the Blood Blade Pirates became the 'bait' earlier.
"You are such a curious baby, little cutie..."
Carol raised her muscular wheat-colored thighs, tilted her head, and walked through the thick fog and across the gloomy and rough sea.
The Flesh Mage also looked towards the distant sea with Carol. At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of the waves like a dragon's roar.
The aunt replied with a hint of joking:
"Who knows? Maybe it was some kind of natural disaster. After all, this sea area has not been explored for a long time..."
“…”
There is no answer... The Flesh Mage couldn't help but shiver.
The appearance of Big Mom from the Black Whale Group and their repeated victories made him forget for a moment that the place they were about to go to was a lost land that had not been explored for twenty years, a place that the Ice Demon Pirates had never penetrated deep into.
Aunt Carol came over slowly and blew smoke into his face:
"Don't worry, no matter what you encounter, the fourth captain of the exploration team, when you return, the Black Whale Group will give you a reward. The value of this reward will not be less than the meat chopping and bone breaking in the hands of the black hunter."
Under the thick smoke, the blood on the Flesh Mage's face slowly rolled back into his skin:
"Don't worry, Captain. I will complete this mission and lock the witch and the black hunter in a cage and bring them all back!"
"Hahaha! Don't let me down, my little baby!"
Carol smiled, felt the sea breeze, and poured herself a glass of the strongest wine.
…
…
Blood Blade Pirates base, Red Maple Island Pier, ship repair dock, night.
At this moment, a group of people were standing anxiously on the dock, watching the performance of the ship repairman.
Mad Wolf Fenrir paced back and forth in the dock and said to the red-haired female ship repairman on the Dagger:
"Little Amy, how much time do we have left before the Dagger can complete the repairs? We don't have much time left, we must finish it immediately!"
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Can't you see that I have already used all four of my robotic arms! I should have installed one more robotic arm, so that I can spare some time to beat you up!
Also, don’t call me Little Ami, I’m 25 years old! "
Fenrir was sprayed with water.
"What a volatile little Ami..."
Chen Qi sat on the chair and looked at the short third-level mechanic of the Dagger.
But it’s not her fault.
Due to the large number of ships being damaged, the young red-haired female ship repairman at the shipyard has been working for five consecutive days and five nights, and has only slept for five hours during this period.
Fen sat next to Chen Qi, feeling nervous and shivering occasionally.
Exploration operation... Chen Qi vaguely felt bad memories.
Although this operation was initiated by the Blood Blade Pirates, in fact, it is more like an investigation mission of the Bei State Meteorological Bureau.
Currently, intelligence on the entire Lost Naval Base is very scarce.
Even the dangers in the sea area they are about to pass through are a huge question mark.
In addition, compared to ordinary meteorological bureau missions, they also have to face attacks from the Black Whale Group.
An extremely difficult task... Chen Qi couldn't help but think.
Bang!
A loud noise interrupted his thoughts!
"Be good to me!"
Following a furious punch from the ship repairman Ami, the Dagger's ship lights came back on.
"It's finally done! Can we sail? Is there any problem? Little Ami?"
Fenrir asked eagerly.
The red-haired ship repairman Ami used his four mechanical arms to give Fenrir four middle fingers:
"Are you questioning my skills? Among the pirates in the third tier, my ship repair skills are only slightly worse than Bri from the Ice Demon Pirates."
There shouldn't be any problem... Fenrir clenched his fists, showing a nervous expression, then looked at the Flower Witch and Chen Qi behind him.
Fenrir threw the equipment box onto the Dagger:
"You two, time is running out. We will set off now and split into five exploration ships, with 50 people on each ship. You two will follow me. Later, I will explain to you the precautions for entering the Sea of Distortion..."
Chen Qi looked towards the ship he was about to board.
The hull design of the Dagger is simple and powerful. Every wooden board has been carefully selected and polished, and the hull lines are smooth.
Of course, although it is an exploration vessel, in terms of size, it is much larger than Chenqi's ghost ship and can accommodate a hundred people.
Although it is not as fast as the ghost ship, it has an extremely strong and extraordinary defensive barrier!
This is the best defensive barrier the Blood Blade Pirates currently have.
In the distorted sea area that we are about to visit, it can be said that this is an extremely important feature.
Chen Qi was thinking about his next actions.
Mrs. Blood and Aunt Carol will not be directly involved in this operation.
Fourth-level legends are a minority after all. Blood Lady of the Blood Blade Pirates and veteran Gale will not go to unknown places before confirming Big Mom's movements.
In other words, this operation will ultimately be a contest between third-order transcendents, and their chances of winning are not small!
With him around, the sea beasts on the ocean are not a big threat, and with Finn around, most of the third-level transcendents cannot resist Finn's liberation.
"Well, let's go."
Chen Qi thought for a long time, patted Fen on the shoulder, and followed Kuanglang and more than 40 other crew members onto the Dagger.
"Bon Voyage!"
Inside the shipyard, shouts from the Blood Blade Pirates were heard.
The Dagger slowly sailed out of the dock and, amid everyone's anticipation, headed towards the foggy Sea of Distortion.
set sail!
…
…
Before we knew it, night fell and the fog became thicker and thicker.
"Sure enough, the only exciting moment is when we set sail."
Chen Qi walked out of the kitchen of the wobbly Dagger, took out a cup of fruit pudding, and handed it to Finn on the deck:
"Fen, eat something. This voyage is not comfortable. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
Five hours had passed since they sailed into the sea area filled with thick fog and a slight smell of corpse.
Sailing in such foggy weather is a torture to everyone's physical and mental strength.
"Thanks!!"
He gave me the food first... Fen took the pudding dazedly, the flower on her head turned an inexplicable gray, and said:
"Qi, my inspiration tells me that this sea is very dangerous. We must pay attention to safety. You should be careful too."
"Well, I'll pay attention..."
Chen Qi and the Flower Witch Fen leaned against the side of the boat and looked at the sea beneath their feet.
The sea water had a disturbing color, ranging from deep blue-black to strange dark green, and from time to time some unknown algae and some strange bubbles floated in the water, while also emitting a stench of corpses of unknown origin.
The waves continued to hit the hull of the Dagger, making a sad sound.
Not only that, there will also be some deformed small fish that will hit the Dagger like crazy.
Coupled with the huge storm, everyone on the Dagger was on edge.
The danger level in this sea area is extremely high... Chen Qi stayed as vigilant as possible and then looked towards the bow of the ship.
Captain Fenrir was on the bow, commanding the crew at the top of his voice:
"Helmsman! Hold on, you must stay absolutely focused! Don't be confused by the fog!"
"Damn it, why are there so many horrible deformed fish? Why are there so many more after the bombardment? Is our flesh so delicious? Is it so attractive to you?!"
Fenrir put on his clothes more tightly. He was already annoyed by these sudden fanatical sea monsters.
Should I not have come to the deck... Chen Qi complained in his heart.
It was his fault, he was the one who caused the little fish's orgy.
He was now almost certain that his affinity would still be useful even against a deformed monster.
Chen Qi looked at the helmsman at the bow.
The Dagger is an extremely expensive ship with a very comprehensive design. It has a total of two places to adjust the direction of the ship, the captain's room and the bow.
In order to observe the sea conditions well, the helmsman of the Dagger could only brave the strong winds and the foul smell, constantly adjusting the direction of the ship and sailing on this dangerous sea.
The Captain said feebly;
"I understand, I understand, Brother Fenrir..."
He is out of his mind... Chen Qi walked forward, took out some meat patties, and gave them to the helmsman and Fenrir:
"Are you okay, Mr. Helmsman? Do you need something to eat?"
The helmsman's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have fainted:
"No, I just want to get ashore! Get ashore as soon as possible! Get ashore!"
The helmsman kept repeating 'Ashore' like crazy.
Fenrir took the meat pie from Chen Qi:
"Going ashore? That's still too early!"
The helmsman shook his head, his eyes full of pale bloodshot:
"No, no, Brother Fenrir, aren't we almost reaching the shore? I can already see the lighthouse, the lighthouse!"
"???"
Fenrir and Chen Qi were both stunned.
They were only halfway through their route, where did the lighthouse come from?
Is there a small isolated island in the ocean?
Something is wrong, there is something wrong with this helmsman!
Bang!
Chen Qi didn't hesitate, he immediately grabbed the helmsman and gave him two loud slaps!
"Where is the lighthouse?"
Chen Qi asked immediately with a cold tone.
The helmsman has lost his mind.
And the strange hallucination is the precursor to the sinking of countless ships on the sea!
Shadow Fiend? Or Nightmare Mist?
Many possibilities emerged in Chen Qi's mind at once.
No matter which one, if their ship is not dealt with in time, it may sink into the sea in the next minute! !
The helmsman did not answer, but stared blankly at Chen Qi.
Fenrir touched his forehead and explained:
“Damn it! This guy used too many Light-Aspect skill books and stepped into the Light-Aspect illusion. This place…”
However, before he could finish, a ray of light from afar shone on them.
Light……
I am resistant to hallucinations, this is not an illusion... Chen Qi slowly raised his head and looked towards the night sky.
I saw a huge lamp hanging high in the dark fog in the distance, just like a moon, like the salvation of countless sailors.
lighthouse!
Everyone held their breath for a moment.
I saw that, accompanied by the sound of huge waves, the "small lighthouse" hanging a hundred meters in the sky kept descending and approaching them.
The lantern grew bigger and bigger in just a few seconds.
A strong wind suddenly rushed towards them, causing the entire Dagger to rock above the sea.
No, it was more like a breath filled with the smell of blood, a breath like a violent storm.
Thousands of meters of fog were slowly broken, and the thick smell of blood suddenly pressed down on the Dagger and everyone.
This is... Chen Qi took a deep breath instinctively, feeling inexplicably familiar.
At this moment, the mad wolf Fenrir took a step back, his body stiffening in a rare moment.
He had been through many battles and had seen countless storms, the irrational fighting between soldiers, the pain of bullets piercing his ears, and the blades piercing his heart.
Logically speaking, apart from illness, there was not much that could hold him back.
But at this moment, his body was still stiff and he was shaking uncontrollably.
It was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time, a primitive instinct called fear.
