Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons exploded. Streaks of blazing green fire streaked across the surface of the sea and smashed into the mist on the opposite side, causing ear-piercing screeches of insects.
"Keep moving. Don't stop. Try to get as close to the island as possible. Hersey, prepare for backup! "
Evan gave the order, and the large piece of bronze, three silver coins, and several gems in his hand quickly twisted and transformed, gradually transforming into the shape of a hollow bronze ball.
"Understood!"
Olivia acknowledged the order, and the highly accurate sniper cannons on the bow of the ship opened fire. The hexagonal cannonball shrouded in flames whistled as it split a giant insectoid that dared to charge at them from the surface of the sea into two halves.
[Eight-Clawed Ghostlizard: Cannon Enchantment]
Although Elvin's team was one step ahead of everyone else due to the highly mysterious characteristic of the adventurer's blood, they did not manage to turn it into an advantage. In fact, they almost lost their lives.
Just as they were about one kilometer away from the island, a large group of ferocious-looking insects that were more than fifty meters long rushed out from the bottom of the sea.
Although the insects did not appear after they entered the sixth level, it did not mean that they did not exist. Moreover, the two types of insects that appeared this time were exceptionally large.
[Large Species: Bobbit Worm]
This was a powerful species of sea monster that Elvin had seen in the material world. They were also ferocious creatures that had the honor of tasting the flesh of the "King of Sea Monsters" Kraken.
The Bobbit Worm had a terrifying feeding organ known as the "Pharynx" that could flip from the inside out. At the end of the Pharynx was a sharp lower jaw. Once prey was caught, it would often be cut in half by the blade-like lower jaw.
With the support of such a large body, even a small warship would not be a problem.
[Large Species: Great King Legged Worm]
Also known as the "Giant Deep Sea Louse," its appearance was somewhat similar to its close relative on the surface, the "Rat Lady." It had a hard scale-like calcium exoskeleton and seven pairs of articulated limbs on its abdomen. The first pair of limbs had already evolved into gigantic mandibles.
To be able to jump out of the water and grab a warship on the surface of the water, even a warship with a slightly higher center of gravity could be flipped over by it and sink into the sea with it.
Although the process was a little thrilling, fortunately, the fast cruising ship with the [Water Spray] was quite agile and was not sent to the bottom of the sea by these insects.
At the same time, several living battleships that had been completely replaced by underwater parasites such as barnacles, tube worms, moss worms, mussels, and algae also sailed out of the mist surrounding the island.
The cannons equipped on the side of the ship kept firing, using the dirty water as the driving force to launch the large carnivorous' turtles' one after another.
Then, they were killed one by one by the heroic spirits standing on the ship.
Therefore …
It was not until the three huge floating islands had gathered here and were one kilometer apart that Elvin's fast cruiser didn't find a chance to rush to the island.
Watching as one battleship after another carried their competitors in front of them, the group of people wanted nothing more than to fly directly to the island. Unfortunately … The rules of the game did not allow it.
"This is really strange. What is the Clock Tower trying to do?"
It was just like how the Clock Tower had clearly sent the legacy magic book, "Echoes of Time and Space", to Milan as if it was a big promotion, but it had sent the Daros Hound through many spaces to chase after her.
Now, it was the same again.
The most intuitive feeling that the Clock Tower gave people was that it was fighting with itself. One moment, it seemed to want to speed up the progress of the "game" and couldn't wait to seize every second. The next moment, it desperately increased the difficulty and used all its means to stall for time.
The organization was chaotic! It was contradictory! No one could make heads or tails of it.
It was also because of the obstruction of a group of insects and the underwater parasite battleships that when Elvin and the others were still circling around the periphery, the follow-up members had already arrived.
"It's not entirely a bad thing to have competitors. At least they can help us share the firepower."
As expected of one of the top factions in the Transcendent World. Apart from the Storm Imperial Court that didn't come at all and the Silver Knight that had been eliminated.
The remaining five church forces — the Volcano Knight of the Tinder Sect, the Winter Knight of the Frost Breath Church, the Iron Wall Knight of the Black Iron Cross Church, the Oathbreaker of the Blackwing Order, and the Arcane Knight of the Starry Night Order — had all arrived.
Including Elvin and the others, there were already 16 battleships of various sizes that belonged to the top forces on the sea.
Jeros looked around and saw that a small part of them were the forces of the Shattered Star Sea that he knew.
The Black Obelisk was composed of many non-wizard Extraordinaires, Dark Sorcerers, intelligent monsters … Although it was known for its horror, evil, and strangeness, there were both bad and good people. It was the School of Necromancy that had made outstanding contributions to the development of modern medicine.
The School of Elemental Breathing, which was the most powerful and the least united of the four major schools of Elemental Sorcerers. The School of Alchemy, which was a loose alliance of more than a dozen schools, including the School of Witches, the School of Truth, and the School of Alchemy. The Undying Scepter, which was a sorcerer organization that was almost completely unable to integrate into mainstream human society.
Elvin also recognized the remaining few schools. There was the School of Curses, which was the leader of the Dark Sorcerers of the Chaotic Region Cabral; the School of Voodoo, which had a long history and rapid development and originated from the Kingdom of Dahomey but had been destroyed by him; and the Shaman Group under the command of the High Totem God in the southern part of the New World, Rain God Chuck.
Although there were two other schools that did not have obvious characteristics and logos, the fact that they could appear here was proof of their strength. There were at least four or five outsiders on each ship, and there were at most dozens of outsiders. None of them were weak.
There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the sea. Elvin did not think that he could belittle the heroes of the world just because he had the battle record of killing a Grade Four. Moreover, the sixth floor of the Clock Tower had far more than just the Eye of the Giant. Because of the gathering effect of Extraordinaires, the number of powerful Extraordinaires distributed in other spaces would definitely be several times more than this.
"Full speed ahead, let's charge in!"
Facing the various defensive forces around the three islands that had begun to boil the sea surface, the commanders of all the warships issued the same order.
Even if they had already realized that there might be something strange behind the Clock Tower, in everyone's eyes, it could only be ranked last. The most important thing now was to charge onto the island and get the treasure before everyone else!
As long as they could get the treasure that they had been looking forward to, so what if the Clock Tower completely collapsed in the next second?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Most of the warships were charging towards the island near Elvin. The Seven Gods Church had the Volcano Knight and the Winter Knight, the Shattered Stars Islands had the Black Obelisk and the School of Necromancy, and the New World had the Voodoo. There were a total of six forces.
However, due to the restriction of Extraordinaires in the game's rules, even if they were close to the island, it was not up to them whether they could reach the island or not. It might be compatible and they could reach all three islands, or they could only reach one of them.
Just like the Oathbreaker and the Iron Wall Knight, although there was no problem with compatibility, they did not hesitate to follow the guidance of their spirituality and charged towards the other island.
Their first target was never the Ancient Scroll of the Sea but the Divine Weapon, the Libra Equalization Holy Sword.
Elvin's fast cruiser did not want to be outdone. While the others scattered the defensive forces on the island, it also sped up and charged towards the island.
At this time, he finally completed the three high-power Siren's Song by hand and threw it into the water.
Hum —
The low-frequency sound waves spread out rapidly.
Squeak squeak squeak …
The Bobbit Worm and the King Legged Worm instantly screeched and rolled to open a path for them. Their instinct to avoid danger made them float to the surface of the water and attack the others.
Finally, the fast cruiser used the [Water Spray] to rush to the shore first.
"Let's split into two groups. One group will reach the island, and the other will stay behind to guard the warships."
Before they reached the island, Elvin rearranged the mission.
The best result, of course, was to be able to find the Ancient Scroll on this island as Milan predicted. However, to be safe, they could not give up other opportunities.
If the warships were destroyed on the sea, even if they obtained the treasure, they might be directly teleported out of the island as soon as they left the island. Therefore, the warships had to find a way to preserve them.
Finally.
One team consisted of Elvin, Anita, Olivia, and Jeros, the four owners of the "adventurer's blood". They were responsible for rushing to the island and using the extraordinary gathering effect to get the treasure as quickly as possible.
The other team consisted of Milan, Angel, Stephanie, Ram, and Kaka, the shadow dragon. They were responsible for staying on the warships to ensure everyone's escape. After all, they could not directly participate in the naval battle, so the combat power of the personnel left behind was not very important.
Even if things did not work out, they could take the initiative to destroy the warships and directly use the elimination mechanism to leave the Clock Tower.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Elvin held Olivia's hand and jumped off the warship behind his sister and Jeros. Under the command of Milan, the fast cruiser rushed out again before the monsters surrounded them again.
The moment Elvin and the others stepped on the island, the whole island suddenly seemed to come alive.
Crack … Crack …
This huge island of nearly 1,000 square kilometers was like a graveyard composed of sunken ships, abandoned docks, and lighthouses. There were "twisted monsters" everywhere that seemed to have been dismantled from sunken ships.
Various wooden ship statues suddenly opened their eyes: King statues, Admiral statues, Giant Dragon statues, White Whale statues, Killer Whale statues, Vulture statues, Wild Boar statues, Devil statues, strange fish statues …
Half of their bodies were still made of wood, but the other half had been replaced by the shells of various insects. The dark red and powerful extraordinary aura indicated that each of them had at least reached the peak of Grade Two.
The bronze cannon was integrated into the shell of the giant turtle. Although it was not moving fast, it was the first to make a move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then there was a strange existence that could not be described by known things at all.
The head was replaced by a decaying giant wheel. Countless webbed limbs grew out of the body, and it crawled quickly on the ground like an octopus swimming.
The dirty mud surged and barely formed the shape of a human body. It waved a heavy rusty anchor in its hand.
A red shapeless mass of flesh and blood wrapped a dirty old sail. It was like the undead of the Underworld that had revived after being buried at sea and returned to the human world.
A pile of twisted ropes wrapped around a rotten skeleton, bouncing from all corners like a big spider.
.....
More monsters were like a large shadow, surging towards them in a dark mass.
Looking around.
Behind them, mottled lighthouses were scattered all over the island. No one knew how long it had been accumulated. The treasures related to the sea were floating in the light balls. However, they were surrounded by monsters, but they might not be able to be taken.
They did not need to deliberately look for them.
Olivia had already pulled Elvin beside her and pointed to the deepest part of the island.
"Look, there!"
