A cargo ship sailing at night cut across the surface of the sea.
Perhaps it was because it was close to the calm zone, but there was not much wind in the sea.
The surface of the sea was calm, and only the rumbling of the cargo ship could be heard, as well as the occasional undercurrent of the sea.
The sailor on the deck yawned. Perhaps it was because the night was peaceful and the wind was calm, but his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. One moment, he was thinking that there were no islands nearby, so he wouldn't encounter any pirates, so he could sleep in peacefully. The next moment, he was thinking about his wife and daughter in his hometown, wondering if they were asleep and if they would meet in their dreams …
As he thought, the sailor felt his eyelids drooping.
He was sleepy.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang in his ears.
The sailor opened his eyes abruptly and looked around, afraid that something might have happened because he was sleeping.
But after looking around, he did not find anything wrong on the ship.
At this moment, a water column spurted out from the sea, and a milky white back appeared on the surface of the sea. Seeing this, the sailor smiled. "So it's a baleen whale."
The baleen whale was a gentle whale. Although it was huge, it was not interested in ships sailing on the sea. It usually ate small fish, prawns, and plankton.
The baleen sea was called "baleen" because there were a large number of baleen whales here.
For the people who made a living in this sea, encountering a baleen whale was not a disaster, but could even be considered lucky.
Sure enough, not long after, the baleen whale let out a buzzing sound, exactly the same as what he heard before.
The sailor was relieved. With the appearance of the baleen whale, this voyage would definitely be safe.
So, with this thought, the sailor leaned against the mast again and squinted his eyes. Because he was leaning his head against the mast, his head was raised high. While squinting, he vaguely saw a flash of light in the sky.
The sailor opened his eyes in confusion. When he saw the light in the sky, his pupils shrank.
"What's going on? Why is there such a thing in the sky … "The sailor rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.
His legs trembled in fear, and he rushed to the deck door, where his companion was sitting on the ground.
"Wake up! Look at the sky!" The sailor shook his companion anxiously, but he couldn't wake him up.
With a burp, the sailor caught a whiff of alcohol. Only then did he realize that there was a bottle of alcohol beside his comrade. Clearly, this fellow was in a worse state than him. Not only did he secretly drink while on duty, he even got drunk!
The sailor could not help but snort. He walked into the cabin and knocked on the door of the nearest cabin.
When the door was opened, the sailor discovered that the door corresponded to the room of the old navigator.
The old navigator was wearing pajamas and had obviously gone to bed. When he opened the door, there was a hint of anger on his face. "Why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"
The sailor hurriedly nodded. "There's a situation. No, I'm not talking about the situation at sea. It's in the sky!"
"A … door appeared in the sky!"
The old navigator doubtfully followed the sailor out. Although there was no strong wind outside, the low temperature still made him shiver.
Enduring the cold, he looked up at the sky.
The night sky was very clear, and the thin clouds were light. Occasionally, a few bright stars could be seen.
Not to mention a door, there was not even a seabird.
Faced with the old navigator's doubtful and angry expression, the sailor stuttered. "I really saw a door appear in the sky."
In order to strengthen his words, the sailor even simulated the situation at that time, leaning against the mast and looking up at the sky.
"I clearly remember that it was a door, and it seemed to be glowing … Right, there was also a small boat flying out of the door. The boat was very beautiful, with twinkling stars and a curved body, just like the moon boat in fairy tales." The sailor described the scene in detail, but not only did the old navigator not believe him, he became even angrier.
"The captain arranged for you to be on duty outside. One of you was drunk, and the other was sleeping. You even woke me up with a dream to accompany you! I'm telling you, I'm going to find the captain now and explain what happened today! "The old navigator saw the sailor leaning against the mast and immediately determined that he was sleeping.
Not only did you secretly sleep, but you even woke me up because of a dream. The navigator was furious!
He turned around angrily and walked towards the door.
However, at this moment, a mournful cry suddenly came from the sea not far away. The old navigator stopped and looked back, only to see the sea in the distance churning. After a while, the corpse of a white baleen whale floated up.
The most shocking thing was that there was an additional hole in the whale's head. A large amount of blood spurted out, dyeing the sea under the night sky even darker.
The sailor pointed at the white baleen whale with a trembling hand. "This seems to be … the one from before?"
The old navigator carefully looked at the wound on the white baleen whale's head and seemed to have thought of something. His pupils suddenly shrank. "Oh no, it's a whale-hunting sea demon! Quick, inform the sailors to turn the ship around immediately! "
The sailor hurriedly nodded and ran in the direction of the observation deck in a panic. There was a platform to communicate directly with the main control room.
However, before he could run to the observation deck …
Less than a hundred meters away from the cargo ship, a wave suddenly surged. A male sea demon holding a trident stepped out of the wave!
The old navigator looked at the sea demon's scarlet eyes, which were filled with cruelty and killing intent. He couldn't help but be stunned and unconsciously said, "It's over …"
Whale-Hunting sea demons were usually male. They looked like humans, but their ears were shaped like fish fins, and there were gills behind them. They had the upper body of a human, but below the waist, they had the tail of a fish or a snake.
"Whale-Hunting" sea demons didn't mean they only hunted whales.
This was just a reference. Being able to hunt whales in Whalebone Sea meant they were at the top of the food chain.
…
Above the sky, on Gondola, which was covered by a layer of illusion.
Bobota was still in a daze. They were still in Calm Belt a moment ago, but Angor suddenly summoned a door, which brought them outside of Calm Belt.
"This, could this be your creation technique? But why is it space manipulation? "Bobota looked at Angor in disbelief.
Angor didn't answer. His face was pale, and he looked exhausted.
He didn't expect his mana pool to be emptied so quickly after just a few miles away from his destination.
According to his estimation, this shouldn't be too far.
The model of the door allowed him to teleport within a short distance, but it should at least cover a distance of a hundred kilometers.
Angor's mana pool wasn't full yet, but it should be at least 90% full.
He didn't expect that his mana pool would run out after just a few miles, which was something he didn't expect at all.
According to the feedback he got from the model of the door, something wasn't right.
He looked up at Bobota, who was still in a state of shock.
Could it be that it was because he had brought others along with him during this spatial displacement?
Angor couldn't tell for now, so he could only make a guess. He would have to collect more experiment data to find out the truth.
But he was glad that his mana pool wasn't completely depleted yet. The latter two could be considered as injuries. If it got worse, his mana pool might even be destroyed.
"I knew it. Any cantrip, even if it's on a spell slot, must go through strict tests before it can be used in real life." Angor sighed in his mind. He almost got himself killed by using the cantrip so recklessly.
As he pondered, he heard someone screaming from below.
Angor looked up and saw a whale-hunting siren controlling the sea and attacking a cargo ship with a trident.
Bobota saw that Angor didn't want to answer, so he stopped asking.
He also noticed the situation below and said in a low voice, "This is a male Sea Demon. He's the weakest among the Sea Demons. He's also very weak. At most, he can control the waves. But he also has one thing in common with female sirens, which is that they like to eat humans. Human flesh is a delicacy to them. "
"Well, there are sirens who don't eat humans," Angor replied casually while recalling Silverstar's appearance.
As a snake-haired siren, Silverstar didn't eat humans. In fact, she liked humans much more than humans.
Bobota remained silent for a moment. "I've never seen a siren that doesn't eat humans. Even if there are, they're probably very rare. But this group of people is unfortunate. They ran into a man-eating siren. "
Bobota sighed as he looked at the terrible scene. "They're done for."
"I don't know for sure."
Bobota was a little surprised. "You're going to save them?"
Angor nodded. "Just in time. I want to test a cantrip."
