North Sea, the 15th day of return. The short Arctic summer had ended, and the freezing period had arrived again. The biting cold wind howled between the sea and the sky. Dafei's fleet was returning at full speed in the roaring cold wind.
Dafei had already recovered from the excitement of the qualifier victory. The clamor of the guilds, the rolling comments on the forums, the news reports, the greetings from the Dragon Slayers Guild Leader and the Goddess of Stars, the title of the world's number one amateur player, and so on were all just fleeting clouds! Wahahaha!
I didn't give you a single cent of advertising fees. Why do you put me on such a high pedestal? Brother's biggest wish is to return home safely.
And now, the Frosty Wind Strait was right in front of me.
It's here! The journey was smooth sailing, and the absence of sea monsters made Dafei uncomfortable. It was abnormal if it was too normal. This was the best place to ambush the fleet in this area. Would Neptune ambush the fleet twice in a row?
The flagship, Wings of Radiance, sent another signal: Pass through the strait, follow closely, battle alert!
Dafei looked nervously at the sky and the sea. There were no dense clouds or fog like the last time. So, there were only sea monsters? But it didn't matter. The Wings of Radiance was now equipped with a six-headed siren statue and a Narwhal Ram. It was no longer the same as before. In order to use the Dragon Bone Rune, he had also sent Anlícia to the flagship. As long as a sea monster dared to block the way, she would activate the Charge rune to accelerate and ram it to death!
The fleet sailed at full speed in the strait. All the sailors' nerves were stretched taut.
Creak! The hull suddenly made a soft sound. Dafei felt the Octopus's direction slightly deviate.
Dafei was shocked. Is something wrong?
Creak! The sound grew louder, and the hull trembled slightly! At the same time, a red light exploded on Dafei's screen!
System Notification: Detection warning! A large whirlpool has been detected in front of the hull. Please evade immediately!
Dafei's heart trembled! Whirlpool! It's finally my turn to be a whirlpool! Dafei shouted in shock, "Flag bearer! Order the fleet to evade the whirlpool! "
"Yes, Captain!"
Evade? How could he avoid it? Force his way through? Change direction? I don't understand at all! Looking at the waves that began to surge on the surface of the strait, looking at the bow of the ship that kept slanting, Dafei was at a loss as he forced himself to turn the rudder. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely! Their only hope was to rely on professional NPCs like Catalina and Kurtner!
Very quickly, the flag bearer rushed in again. "Captain, instructions from the flagship. Make a sharp turn and rush out of the whirlpool at full speed from the counterclockwise edge! Now! "
So it was a forceful charge! Dafei's heart was suddenly at ease! As expected, the NPC knew what to do! Counterclockwise? Where? Right side? Who cares about that? I'll just follow them!
The whirlpool spun on the surface of the sea, and the sound of the waves was like thunder. The middle of the sea began to sink. The whirlpool was getting faster and faster, and the pit was getting deeper and deeper. The range of the whirlpool was getting larger and larger, almost blocking half of the channel! The vortex was shockingly large!
Fortunately, Dafei discovered it in time and the fleet responded quickly. The fleet had already reached the edge of the vortex!
At this moment, the two keelbone masts of the [Glorious Wings] flashed with a red light! The speed of the entire fleet abruptly increased!
— System prompt: The flagship [Glorious Wings] has used the special skill [Charge]. Ship speed increased by 30% for 30 seconds!
Neptune bless me! Dafei quickly activated [Octopus]'s special skill [Rapid Acceleration].
The whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger. It had already blocked off the entire channel and enveloped the entire fleet! The fleet struggled desperately within the whirlpool. Dafei's heart was in his throat. He was so nervous that he could not breathe!
At that moment, Dafei's [Octopus] ship was rumbling as it was pushed by the whirlpool. Dafei was certain that if it were not for the fact that [Octopus]'s special skill made it difficult for it to turn, it would have been swallowed up by the whirlpool. Sometimes, this weakness could be a life-saving advantage!
The whirlpool was getting stronger and the fleet's speed was getting faster and faster – that's right! Regardless of whether it was going clockwise or counterclockwise, the starting direction must be the same as the direction of the whirlpool. That way, the fleet could borrow the force of the whirlpool to rush out! It was like throwing a discus!
The fleet was getting further and further away from the center. There was hope for them to break out! Dafei was so excited that he could not help but jump up and down!
At that moment, a dull roar came from the center of the whirlpool. "Don't even think of escaping!" The red light exploded in front of Dafei once again!
— System prompt: [Detection] warning! A powerful enemy is about to appear. Please prepare for battle!
Dafei was shocked. It was a Sea Monster! In that instant, a huge red cloud appeared on the radar's minimap at the bottom of the sea. Its area was as big as the whirlpool! It was enough to cover the entire channel!
Now, Dafei had already seen a huge blood-red "land" rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea. Dafei was dumbfounded. What a huge and earth-shattering sea monster this was! In front of such a huge Sea Monster, the fleet was like … It was like a fleet docked at an island pier …
Dafei could not find the words to describe his feelings at that moment. Dafei's ecstasy of victory instantly fell to the bottom.
Was it really because his Chamber of Commerce's revival quest was too advanced? He could escape the first time, but he couldn't escape the fifteenth time? Am I going to hand over all of my achievements in the North Sea for nothing here?
It was close! He finally saw it! That red thing was a huge mouth that looked like a crack in the abyss! Finally, Dafei found the words to describe what he was feeling at that moment. Thousands of words could be condensed into one word — Holy shit!
— Splash! The surface of the sea shook violently, and a huge curtain of water rose into the sky. The world suddenly turned dark!
Of course, Dafei knew what had happened. His entire fleet had been swallowed by the Sea Monster! The so-called whale swallowing was not enough to describe its appetite!
Bro, I'm done for.
The deep voice echoed in the dark world, "Mortal, it is your honor to be buried in Charubdis's stomach. One day later, you will be crushed by me along with all the trash in the world, and I'll dispose of you for the recycling! You can also think of a way to escape, but so far, only Hero Odysseus has succeeded. "
— Clang! A loud noise came from the darkness. It was indeed the sound of something being crushed.
Dafei's eyebrows jumped in shock! Charubdis! The Whirlpool Sea Monster in the Greek myth "Odyssey". It was good neighbors with Skylar! Did it just call me a mortal? Does that mean it's also a demigod? F * ck!
At that moment, the fleet's searchlight lit up. There was a huge squirming red hole in the ground. Needless to say, this was its mouth.
The fleet was in a puddle in its mouth, surrounded by a mountain of trash that was piled up with the remains of various sunken ships and sea monsters.
— Clang! There was another loud noise. A pile of debris at the end of the garbage mountain was pushed by the current into an even deeper hole that looked like a throat. That was where the sound came from!
F * ck me! So this demigod was an environmental worker! Based on the speed of its garbage disposal, it would probably be his turn tomorrow. In other words, he still had one more day!
