3 days later, Chen Rui, who had never seen the sea in his previous life, finally achieved his wish in this world.
His first impression of the sea was that it was huge. The visual impact of this personal experience was not something that could be felt by watching TV. Even the surfy sea training ground in the Super System could not be compared with it. At a glance, it was boundless. He could only see the distant horizon of the sea.
Chen Rui finally understood what was called "the sea and the sky are one". Feeling the cool sea breeze with moisture, a broad feeling arose in his heart. The sea can accommodate all rivers, and it is big to have tolerance.
Behind the boundless vastness was endless danger. Chen Rui was very clear about this. He had made sufficient preparations before departure. The storage warehouse stored a large amount of food and many emergency items.
Flying slowly from the coast to the sea, Chen Rui took out the ship sent by Tetenis.
When the old man took out a whole ship from the special space ring, he was quite proud. When he saw that Chen Rui didn't bring any space equipment, and he just kept it out of thin air, he almost dissected Chen Rui on the spot.
Having said that, the ship sent by the old man was really awesome. The appearance alone was gorgeous and magnificent. It was somewhat similar to the Black Pearl in a famous pirate movie that Chen Rui had seen before. What was even more awesome was that many things on the ship were "automatic". They only needed to put in the magic crystal as power.
However, such a big ship only had Chen Rui and the Earth Elemental King plus a slime. It was uncoordinated no matter how one looked at it.
Moore looked at the ship with the eyes of an expert, "This is an amazing work. Whether it is the layout, structure, facilities … they are quite reasonable. Many of the ideas are ingenious. Especially it is equipped with this kind of magic crystal cannon that should be improved. You know, ordinary ships can't withstand the vibration of the magic crystal cannon. This ship can't be built by someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in sailing. "
According to Tetenis, he made this ship with his own hands. I can't tell that the old man is also a sailor? Chen Rui scratched his head. "I don't know much about that. I only know that the main materials of this boat are Ebony Wood and Gold Auspicious Sand, which are as hard as the metal gears that are almost legendary. At the very least, there is no problem in terms of 'solidity' that you mentioned earlier."
"It's indeed very sturdy." Moore smiled. "Don't you want to give it a name?"
Chen Rui couldn't help but think of the faint tea fragrance. He thought for a while and said, "Let's call it the Devil's Snare Ship, but … what should we do now? Raise the sails? "
"Devil's Snare Ship, that's a good name. As for how to sail the ship … you don't have to worry about that. " A ball of yellow light appeared in Moore's hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a handful of shimmering blue sand. The sand flew out of Moore's hand and quickly spread to the entire deck.
Subsequently, the sand slowly gathered into human figures. After the light dissipated, 30 blue "sandmen" made of sand appeared in front of Chen Rui. The density of these sandmen's bodies was extremely high, and they looked extremely sturdy. Their strength was at Higher Demon.
Moore clapped his hands, and a white light appeared in the dull eyes of the sandmen, as if they had been given a soul. They began to split up and get busy, such as raising the sails, steering the helm, looking out, guarding, and so on. The division of labor was very clear, as if they were an experienced and tacit team.
Dodo stared at these "sailors" that appeared out of thin air in a daze. He couldn't close his mouth for a long time. Chen Rui also understood why Moore was so calm.
"These are earth elementals made of sea blue sand. They have special abilities in ship navigation. In fact, thanks to the power of Fertile Yuan Soil that you gave me last time, otherwise, I can't complete the transformation so easily. "
Chen Rui smiled and made a "please" gesture, "Then … Sir Captain, please start our voyage."
As Moore said, the sandmen had a special talent in sailing. They completed all kinds of work in an orderly manner. Moreover, Moore had a special element sensing. Combined with his inherited memory, he could lock on the direction with the strongest water element, so he wouldn't get lost in the vast sea. With this king and those underlings, Chen Rui only needed to sleep peacefully in the cabin's guest room.
Dodo was also curious about the sea. It was fine when they first entered the sea, but as the sailing distance increased, they saw the vast sea around them. They couldn't even see a place to dock. It was completely different from inland river navigation. The slime gradually developed a kind of fear. In addition, it was difficult to adapt to the swaying of the ship, so he felt very uncomfortable. He often had a bitter face, and even his appetite was greatly reduced.
Chen Rui didn't have discomfort such as seasickness. The long and boring voyage on the sea was nothing to him. When he trained in the training ground of the Super System, it was easily 100 days, and he was alone. Besides, he now had a friend like the Earth Elemental King by his side.
The Earth Elemental King carried the memory inheritance of previous generations. His knowledge and experience were extremely rich. During the conversation, Chen Rui learned a lot of things. It could be said that he benefited a lot.
Unknowingly, 3 days passed.
At noon, Chen Rui had just finished lunch and was talking to Moore on the deck. The sandmen on the lookout hurriedly rushed to report to Moore. They seemed to have discovered an abnormal situation.
The elite earth elemental's learning ability was very strong. They could easily master the common language of the Demon Realm, but the sandmen were still a relatively low-level elemental body, so they could only use the elemental language. Fortunately, Chen Rui had [Analytical Eyes], so he could understand the meaning.
The sandmen reported that through the magic observation mirror, they found 3 ships in front.
Chen Rui heard from Moore that the Dead Sea contained immeasurable rich resources. Alchemy materials alone could bring huge benefits, so many merchant ships took huge risks to travel on the sea. Originally, Town Lupin, the southernmost part of the Blue Lava Estate, was a prosperous town near the sea. It gathered many merchants and seafarers who came and went for trade. It was also the largest economic source of the Blue Lava Estate.
However, about a year ago, Town Lupin suffered a devastating blow. All the creatures were slaughtered by unknown forces, and it became a dead town that everyone was terrified of.
Chen Rui was very clear about the root cause of this incident. In order to recover from the injuries of the Elemental War, the Dark Elemental King Hegel looked for 3 sources of darkness and used a large number of creatures as sacrifices to repair his body. Town Lupin was the third source of darkness. For this, Hegel cruelly killed all the creatures. It also involved the conspiracy of the Blue Lava Lord at that time and a mysterious man who needed the dark element power to break through the bottleneck.
After this disaster, Town Lupin was almost unable to recover. Later, the acting lord, Sumen, blamed all the sins on the evil deeds of the former lord. He spent a lot of money and effort to revitalize Town Lupin and formulated a series of favorable measures such as reducing tax rates and safety protection. Under the temptation of the huge benefits of marine resources, Town Lupin began to slowly recover. The number of ships on the Dead Sea gradually began to increase.
"Continue to observe!" Moore ordered, "Crew members, be on guard. Gunners in position. Get ready for battle at any time."
Chen Rui frowned, "Is it a pirate ship?"
Not only on the original Earth, but also in this world, piracy was also a very ancient crime industry. Since ships sailed, there had been pirates. The disaster of Town Lupin almost destroyed the entire "food chain", which once made the pirates unemployed. With the recovery of Town Lupin, the bandits on the sea began to be rampant again. The ferocity of the pirates of the Dead Sea was well known in the Demon Realm. Their means were very cruel. Not only they wanted money, but they also wanted lives. They usually did not leave anyone alive.
"Not necessarily, it's better to take precautions."
At this time, with Chen Rui's eyesight, he could already vaguely see the black spots on the sea in the distance. He also keenly noticed that there was a bird in the sky that was flying at a very high altitude.
"My friend, you really guessed it." Moore looked up at the sky and said calmly, "This is a mutated green sea vulture. It has a special ability of telescopic vision. It is often used by pirates to investigate the situation."
The sandmen were beginning to emit red magic signal lights according to the rhythm, which was equivalent to a long-distance communication language at sea. However, the other party didn't seem to see it. The 3 ships spread out in a "品" shape and sailed toward this side quickly.
On the largest ship that sailed over, a blue-skinned, skinny guy with fins behind his ears cast a display magic in his hand. It was exactly what the green sea vulture saw. He shouted excitedly, "Brothers, come and take a look at this ship!"
"I have never seen such a luxurious ship!"
"It is even bigger than our Black Spider Ship! There must be a big fat sheep on the ship! "
"I can't see the specific situation on the ship as it is obscured by the protective magic, but there should be a lot of goods and black crystal coins!"
"Maybe there are beautiful women!"
"…"
Another cold voice rang out, "Alright! Keep your spirits up. It should not be an ordinary businessman who owns such a ship. Send a signal to the Iron Hook Ship and the Blood Moon Ship to start the water magic pump and move forward at full speed! Make sure to do it cleanly and beautifully later! This is close to the area of the sea monsters, so we can just push the blame to them. If we can have a satisfactory harvest this time, I will take everyone to the Dark Moon to the Blue Lava City to have a good time! "
The one who spoke was a fierce-looking Great Demon with a hideous scar on his face. He was wearing a dark silver armor. As soon as this sentence came out, all the pirates cheered.
"Yes! Captain Joseph! "
The three pirate ships quickly approached. At this moment, the "fat sheep" ship suddenly flashed with a strong light, and a white beam of light shot out. The Iron Hook, which was at the forefront, did not have time to activate its defensive magic and was hit.
The whole ship was torn apart by the terrifying energy. Wherever the power reached, whether it was pirates or facilities, they turned into particles and disappeared without a trace.
The pirates of the Black Spider Ship and the Blood Moon Ship were dumbfounded as they watched the Iron Hook Ship collapse in an instant. The huge ship had disappeared without a trace. Only a few survivors swam desperately toward their companions' ships on the sea.
Magic crystal cannon!
There are actually magic crystal cannons on the ship!
This power! This range! I have never heard of it at all! Even the magic crystal cannons equipped with military fortresses are not this terrifying!
Is this a fat sheep or a giant dragon?
The Great Demon Captain, Joseph, reacted the fastest. He shouted, "Slow down and activate the magic protection immediately!"
After a while, they saw the "warship" turn around. The white light on the other side was shot out again. This time, the target was the Blood Moon Ship. With the lesson of the destruction of the Iron Hook Ship, the Blood Moon Ship had already activated a blue water element magic protection. At the same time, they used the power of the water element magic pump to accelerate the ship's movement to avoid being targeted by the opponent.
This kind of dodging undoubtedly worked. This time, the white light did not hit, but the persistence of this white light was amazing. It actually maintained its power and moved horizontally. The defense was like a huge long sword that swept the Blood Moon Ship that had no time to dodge.
The blue protection magic only lasted for a minute before it collapsed. Then, the scene of the Iron Hook Ship was repeated.
This time, the power of the magic crystal cannon had weakened a lot due to the movement and the offset of the protective shield. It only cut the Blood Moon Ship by half. However, in this kind of sea, it was still a fatal blow. The pirates could only watch the remaining wreckage slowly sink into the sea, and they jumped into the water to escape. A few who knew magic could barely float or stand on the water.
In a short period of time, the two ships were destroyed just like that. On the only surviving Black Spider Ship, the pirates, including Captain Joseph, were sweating profusely.
It was not that these pirates had never fought before, and their individual combat strength was quite fierce. However, this was the first time they encountered a battle where they were killed or maimed before they could even see the other party's face clearly. Under the terrifying power of the Magic Crystal Cannons, all their fighting spirit and morale collapsed without a trace.
Although the defensive magic power of the Black Spider Ship exceeded the Blood Moon Ship and the Iron Hook Ship, it still couldn't withstand the terrifying magic crystal cannon. If the other party had a third attack, then the Black Spider Ship would follow the footsteps of the other two ships and be destroyed.
Once they lost the ship, even if they could escape by chance, only death awaited the pirates in this vast sea where they couldn't even see the island.
"Quick! Turn the ship around and run away! " Joseph roared almost hysterically. Almost without his urging, the pirates had already begun to turn the ship around and flee in a flurry.
Chen Rui had long known the ferocious deeds of these pirates, so he did not have any pity. Instead, he was surprised by the power of the improved magic crystal cannon in the sea battle.
"Moore, the magic crystal cannon should be on cooldown now. Let's catch up and destroy these guys so as not to harm the merchant ships. Why don't we catch a leader alive to understand the latest situation in the Dead Sea? "
Moore nodded and ordered the sandmen to control the Devil's Snare Ship to chase the Black Spider Ship. The Devil's Snare Ship's power was far better than the Black Spider Ship. Coupled with the sandmen's ship control skills, the distance between them was getting closer.
This situation caused the pirates, who originally had no military qualities, to immediately panic and fall into chaos.
"Oh no! The enemy is catching up! Captain! "
"What should we do?!"
"Even if they don't get close, just one more shot from the magic crystal cannon, and we will be dead!"
"All of you, shut up!" Great Demon Joseph took out a long saber and shouted while gritting his teeth, "Go to the sea beasts' area! If these bastards still refuse to let go, we will perish together! "
