Time ticked by.
The chirping sounds from the outside world were still ringing incessantly.
As the sun gradually set and night fell, the group of lizards that had been surrounding the lagoon began to move.
They widened their blood-red eyes, raised their necks, and screeched one after another as if they were blowing the horn to charge.
They swore to teach these intruders a lesson in blood for daring to intrude into their spawning grounds!
That's right, the ring-shaped island formed by the volcanic eruption obviously couldn't support so many lizards. This was actually a fixed spawning ground for the lizards.
If it weren't for the specific season, there wouldn't be such a large number of lizards here.
During this period, the "shadow lizards" that were already restless during their estrus period went into the water to test the waters a few times.
However, without exception, Milan controlled the "Song of the Siren" to give them a head-on blow.
They learned their lesson.
Knowing that they would never return after going into the water, they no longer rashly attacked. However, driven by their instincts as guardians, none of them chose to leave.
Although after suddenly descending into the material world, they were very uncomfortable with the bright sun at first. However, as time passed, the environment of this unfamiliar world slowly transformed into the appearance of their hometown.
Dark, cool, and without such dazzling light …
When the world was completely shrouded in shadows, they could sneak into the shadows at will and swarm onto the huge "monster", killing all the intruders that obviously didn't have this ability!
Watching the sun gradually set in the west, the hearts of the crew also sank.
"Elvin! Hurry! Hurry! "
Standing on the stern, Milan clenched her fists and prayed softly. At this time, other than giving Elvin absolute confidence, there was nothing else he could do.
Although everyone had 100% trust in their captain, the situation of the crew was like staying in a downstream river that was about to burst. Their lives were hanging by a thread, and they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.
"Tick … Tick …"
First Mate Borg looked down at the pocket watch in his hand almost every two seconds. Even if the weather at sea was surprisingly good today, the sun would not set past 6: 30 at night.
And now, there was still … 25 minutes until the moment of judgment!
He couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. He felt even more nervous today than when he was ambushed by Shilius' treasure fleet.
After all, the crew didn't have Elvin's long-range vision back then. Even though they knew that they were in trouble, the entire process only took a few minutes. The moment the Reverse Cross was activated, it was already a matter of life and death.
But now, every minute and every second was torture, and the closer it got to sunset, the more intense the torture became.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had faith in the "omnipotent" captain in his heart, perhaps he would feel like his neck was being slowly cut off by a rusty blunt saw!
"Look at the lake!"
Suddenly, Captain Vader, who had been personally guarding the observation deck, issued a warning to the crew. Borg could hear the slight tremor in his voice as he tried to maintain his composure.
"What happened?"
The crew members all looked at the surface of the lagoon. As the sun slowly set, the shadow of Storm Horn was lengthened and projected into the water.
Right now, the sun was almost half below the surface of the sea. The afterglow of the setting sun had elongated the shadow of 'Storm Horn'.
Gazing at the calm and unobstructed surface of the water, they were about to reach the shore where the lizards gathered on the east side of the lagoon.
Even if they didn't have any knowledge of physics, they knew that as long as the 'bridge' formed by the shadow reached the shore, there would be no more obstacles between them and the flood of lizards.
When that happened, whether the sun set or not would no longer matter to them.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! "
The lizards, who had an innate ability to sense shadows, reacted even faster to such a situation.
Amidst the frenzied hissing, the black tide rippled. Then, the endless' water 'started to gather at the tip of the main mast that extended over first.
They piled up layer by layer. Countless black bodies and red eyes were enough to make people with trypophobia feel half dead just by looking at them!
After entering the "two-dimensional" world of the shadow, even the slender shadow of the mast was no different from a 14-lane highway to them.
"W-why don't we … chop off the main mast?"
Among the terrified crew, someone suddenly suggested. Then, many people looked at the towering Winter Pinewood main mast and were eager to give it a try.
Winter Pinewood was also known as "Cedar Wood". It grew in the cold forest in the northern part of the continent where the snow never melted. While its growth was extremely slow, it also made it an extremely tough wood. It was one of the best wood materials to make a battleship's mast.
The height of a typical battleship's mast was four times the width of its hull.
For example, the diameter of the main mast of 'Storm Horn' was close to one meter. Starting from the bottom keel of the battleship, it was already 50 meters tall. Therefore, it was obviously not made from an entire pine tree trunk.
In fact, the 'bottom mast' of a battleship was usually made from a few or even a dozen pieces of high-quality wood. Then, it was tightly bound by a mast hoop.
Only the upper mast and top mast with relatively thin masts could enjoy the treatment of a 'canoe mast'.
As a Level Four battleship, the sail on 'Storm Horn' was almost representative of the highest level of shipbuilding in this era.
Although the top mast could be dismantled, only by cutting off the bottom mast could they maximize the time!
Even though everyone knew that this was just … drinking poison to quench their thirst!
"Sir?"
Elvin was not there. Everyone looked at the chief officer, Borg, and Milan, who had the highest military rank other than Elvin. Once they gave the order, the ferocious soldiers would cut off all the masts on the ship as quickly as possible.
No matter who it was, this was undoubtedly an extremely difficult decision.
Even if they cut off the masts, it would only delay the arrival of the disaster by a few minutes. But was it really worth it to lose all of the power of 'Storm Horn' and completely turn it into a floating coffin?
Seeing that it would be too late if they did not cut off the masts, some of the crew looked at the sea of lizards in the distance and their eyes almost turned red.
"Sir?!"
"Then … we …"
As a rich young master, Milan, who had never made such a big decision in his life, felt a little difficult to breathe. He swallowed his saliva and was about to say something.
Suddenly.
The "prophet's" sharp sixth sense gave him a clear and accurate signal. Milan's expression instantly relaxed. Then, his legs turned to jelly and he almost fell to the ground.
Whoosh —
A long whistle resounded through the sky.
Dozens of white seagulls that had been hovering in the sky for a long time had already shot down like arrows. They flew in through the door of Elvin's laboratory that suddenly opened and flew out through the porthole on the other side.
However, there was a large bottle of blood-red "Frenzy Potion" on the feet of each white seagull!
There was no delay.
The seagulls were like bombers that had finished reloading. They flew into the sky in a flying formation!
Whoosh —
When all the white seagulls flew into the sky, Elvin also jumped out of the laboratory with a bottle of blue potion and landed lightly on the deck.
"Go get a bucket of fresh water, quick!"
Looking at the sea of lizards that were attracted by the extended shadow in the sky, and most of them had already hit the side of the lagoon, Elvin issued a hurried order.
At this time, no one dared to be careless.
As the strongest Knight, Gary had already heard the order and directly smashed the door of the lower cabin. He rushed into the storage room and carried a sealed bucket of fresh water back to the deck.
Dong —
When the bucket landed, Gary had already used his right hand that was wearing an iron glove like a crowbar to easily lift the lid of the bucket.
Elvin glanced into the bucket. As it was not an ocean voyage, and only a few days out at sea, the fresh water quality on the ship was maintained quite well.
While pouring the blue potion into the bucket, Elvin solemnly shouted to the crew, "If you don't want to die, everyone come and drink a mouthful!"
The crew who had already realized that the seagulls must be holding something terrifying in their hands immediately took all the cups, cups, bowls, and plates that they could use. In the shortest amount of time, nearly three hundred crew members had a mouthful of the potion.
At the same time, before the tip of the smallest shadow on the top of the mast touched the shore, the flock of white seagulls with their backs facing the setting sun had already arrived above the lizards.
Under the long-range command of the most intelligent owl, Bess, the "bombers" scattered according to the density of the lizards on the ground.
The moment they completed their deployment in the air, they all dropped the deadly "biochemical bombs" in their claws!
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The potion bottle exploded, and the dark red potion splashed in all directions. Then, under the influence of the wind, it quickly evaporated and turned into thick red smoke that enveloped a large area of lizards.
In fact, these dozens of bottles of "Frenzy Potion" did not completely envelop the endless lizard tide, but even if a part of them escaped, it would not affect the overall situation at all.
Roar —
Roar —
They gathered on this island because of the automatic gathering during the spawning season, the special physiological state of the lizards during estrus, and the collective explosion of the desire to survive, appetite, lust, desire to sleep, greed (possessiveness), desire to show off, desire to indulge …
The originally warm scene of a "large-scale blind date" had turned into a "real Asura Battlefield".
The scene was completely out of control!
