The ships that can freely travel to and from the Oro Strait all year round are giant ships with a capacity of 10,000 tons.
The Aurora is such a giant ship. With a nearly 300-meter-long hull and a displacement of more than 60,000 tons when fully loaded, it is definitely one of the largest ships Zhang Tie has ever seen. Such a ship, even in Huaiyuan County, is definitely a giant ship. Ship's standard.
At this moment, the Aurora, which is used for both passengers and cargo, is basically fully loaded. In addition to the more than 4,000 passengers on board, the entire ship is also loaded with more than 30,000 tons of various materials.
One can imagine how powerful the force can be to cause a huge earthquake in the hull of such a ship.
Most of the people in the restaurant immediately grabbed something that could stabilize their bodies, but Zhang Tie immediately rushed out of the restaurant door.
"Peter, where are you going?" Sam shouted.
"It's okay, I'll go take a look..." Zhang Tie said as he ran.
"This guy is really a lunatic!" Gerry said, gesturing towards Sam, "Let's go out and see what it is. Something is really going to happen to this ship, both inside and outside the room! "
Sam nodded, and the two of them ran towards the door of the restaurant. Just after the two of them ran a few steps, there was another huge earthquake, and the two of them rolled to the ground at the same time.
"Fake..." Sam cursed.
…
When Seim was yelling, Zhang Tie had already rushed out of the restaurant. When the second huge earthquake came, Zhang Tie jumped up and stepped on the wall of the passage. In an instant. We came to the corridor outside the cabin.
There were many people who rushed out with Zhang Tie.
Almost half of the more than 4,000 passengers on this ship are pioneers. Some of these pioneers have no idea what is going on, but they just instinctively let them come out to see what is going on, and some are completely The kind of people who are very courageous, after knowing that the Aurora was attacked by dangerous creatures. I ran out excitedly to watch the excitement.
The north wind was howling outside the cabin, and the waves on the sea were monstrous. As soon as Zhang Tie rushed out, he heard a voice shouting, "In the direction of the bow...", following this voice, Zhang Tie rushed towards the bow of the ship quickly. past. Then he saw a picture that shocked him greatly.
What Zhang Tie saw was a terrifying tentacle with many suckers, stretching out from the sea, dozens of meters high, twisting on the bow of the Aurora, and then whipping on the deck of the bow like a whip. The whole ship trembled violently like a whipped fish.
Although the metal structure of the ship's hull would not be shattered in such an instant. But this time, Zhang Tie also heard the heart-wrenching sound of steel twisting and squeezing from the entire ship. Some of the buildings and facilities on the ship's bow were shattered and destroyed by this overwhelming attack.
Debris was flying around the bow of the ship, and many people were affected and screamed loudly. Even worse, they were directly shattered to pieces by the attack just now.
Zhang Tie was far away from the tentacle, but several fragments flying from the bow of the ship also splashed towards him, and he dexterously avoided them.
After the tentacle whipped the bow of the ship, Zhang Tie was on the port side of the ship. Another huge tentacle stretched out, and swept along the plane of the ship's side like lightning. Five or six people who ran out to watch the excitement were rolled up by the tentacles. Amidst the shrill screams, all the bones in their bodies were instantly squeezed. Exploded, the internal organs and brains exploded out of those people's bodies in an instant, and they were dragged into the sea with blood splattering...
This terrifying scene made many people who had just run out scream in fear and rush back into the cabin. This is not just watching the fun, it's just making snacks for monsters. In comparison, the cabin is indeed safer.
The thinnest part of the tip of the tentacle is more than one meter thick. Just as it passed by less than ten meters in front of Zhang Tie, a large row of windows on the left side of the ship were smashed. Zhang Tie saw the last person rolled up by the huge tentacle being killed within a second. The tentacles tied a knot on the body, and the man's eyes were instantly squeezed and spurted out of his face.
"The giant monster of the deep sea, it's the giant monster of the deep sea..." Someone on the upper deck above Zhang Tietou shouted, and then the crossbow arrows of a two-meter-long steam crossbow shot down from above and sank into the sea below.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether the giant crossbow had hit the big guy below. This question had just appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. A huge wave of water rising into the sky suddenly rose from the sea in front of Zhang Tie, and again A huge tentacle several meters thick stretched out from under the ship. In just a moment, Zhang Tie saw a steam crossbow turret and a piece of building debris on the upper deck being swept into the sea along with more than ten people. At the same time, the Aurora's There was also a loud bang and a scream of terror from the starboard side...
The monster in the sea seemed to be enraged by the giant crossbow that had just been fired.
Sam and Gerry, who had just followed Zhang Tie and were about to rush out of the restaurant to see what was going on outside, ran out of the aisle of the cabin. What they saw was a tentacle several meters thick retracting into the sea from in front of the two people. The appearance, and the messy things that were swept off the ship and flew down in the air. The two people's faces turned pale. Without saying anything, they turned around and ran back into the cabin. What was next to the ship's side at this moment was a perfect target...
Zhang Tie was also about to run back to the cabin, but just after taking a look, Zhang Tie knew that this deep-sea giant monster was not something he could deal with. Although it came all the way north from the sea, Zhang Tie was still the first to deal with such a terrifying guy. Saw once.
Zhang Tie didn't think he was a hero, nor did he think he had the noble qualities of sacrificing himself for others. At this moment, what he was thinking was that if this big guy really sank the Aurora, he would have no problem escaping in the sea. , but it’s hard to say how many people can be saved.
Just when Zhang Tie thought about how many people could be saved later, he really heard the cry for help.
"Help..." Just on the aisle in front, seven or eight meters away from Zhang Tie, a guy was lying on the ground screaming loudly, and a sharp metal bar was inserted into the man's thigh. It completely penetrated the man's thigh and lost his ability to move.
It's a good thing that this guy didn't scream. When he screamed, a thick tentacle stretched out from the sea again. Like a mop for cleaning the deck and ship's side, it swept completely close to the ground. The metal guardrail on the side of the ship's side and deck was there. Under the sweep of the tentacles, there was the sound of metal breaking. It's rolled up exactly like noodles.
In the blink of an eye, the huge tentacle was less than ten meters away from the man. The face of the guy lying on the ground changed drastically, and he looked at the terrifying black tentacle that was crushing over like a tank with desperate eyes.
Zhang Tie rushed over, swept the jumping tentacles across the person's front side on the ground, rushed in front of the person, and grabbed the person's clothes. Rolling and rushing into the cabin next to it...
The tentacles swept across, and all the doors and windows of the cabin were deformed and shattered. One wall was swept away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the cabin was in a mess as if it had been hit by a tornado.
Zhang Tie had just stopped rolling while carrying the man, when another wave of water shot up from the side of the ship. A huge tentacle stretched out from under the sea, twisting in the air, about to smash down...
"Beast!" As this angry and cold voice sounded, a blue sun appeared outside the cabin. The dazzling blue sword light stimulated Zhang Tie and narrowed his eyes slightly. Zhang Tie's His heart was beating violently, and a strong pressure rose outside the cabin.
This coercion gave Zhang Tie a feeling of déjà vu. Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the scene when he met the elder of Huaiyuantang on the airship. However, the pressure of this man was not the same as what Zhang Tie had felt before. The pressure is different. The pressure of Huaiyuantang elder is as high as a mountain. It was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, but this pressure was filled with a sharp and sharp aura, making people instantly feel like they were being pressed against their skin by countless sharp swords.
knight! There were actually knights on board the Aurora, which made Zhang Tie a little shocked, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
The huge tentacle that I wanted to pull out just now did not pull out. Instead, it turned into a rain of blood and debris and fell down. The huge tentacles that were raging around the Aurora also fell down at the same time. Suddenly it shrank back into the sea, and then a terrifying water column a hundred meters high suddenly rose from the sea, and a sharp sound amplified tens of millions of times, like a baby crying, sounded from under the sea.
When that voice sounded. Even Zhang Tie couldn't help but cover his ears, feeling nauseated and vomiting all of a sudden.
Zhang Tie, who was covering his ears, widened his eyes and looked at the figure standing in the sky, whose entire body was wrapped in the blue sword light. When the figure shot from the air into the sea like an arrow, Zhang Tie also gritted his teeth. Rushed out of the cabin.
Zhang Tie had never seen what it would be like for a knight to take action. The opportunity was right in front of him, so how could Zhang Tie let it go.
Zhang Tie came directly to the bow of the ship and looked into the sea...
The huge tentacles stirred up nearly 100-meter-high water columns and waves, causing the Aurora to jolt even more. Among these water columns and huge waves, there was a huge one that was almost more than 100 meters in size. The black shadow was in the sea under the bottom of the boat. The sight of it sent a chill down the spine.
The blue sword light was like lightning, chopping melons and vegetables in the blink of an eye, cutting off several tentacles more than a hundred meters long that stretched out from the sea. Those waving tentacles fell from the air to the surroundings. In the sea, there was another high splash and huge surge, and Zhang Tie was even wet by the splash.
The underwater monster screamed even more horribly.
There is also a steam ballista on the bow of the Aurora, but the sailor who controls the steam ballista has just been smashed away by the sea monster's tentacles. At this moment, when the blue sword light is fighting the sea monster, he sees The gun emplacement of the ballista was actually empty. Zhang Tie was moved and ran over without saying a word.
Zhang Tiexian quickly checked the steam ballista and found that only the defensive armor plate of the steam ballista was dented and twisted. The entire ballista was not damaged. The steam pressure indication of the ballista was normal. A triangular anchor crossbow more than two meters long Already installed in place, the entire ballista turret is ready for firing at any time.
Without saying a word, Zhang Tie immediately sat down in the gunner's position, shook the steering wheel crazily, quickly pointed the muzzle of the ballista in the direction of the monster, picked up the excitation hammer with one hand, and squinted. Close your eyes. Adapting to the impact of the undulating hull on the shooting angle and shooting accuracy, he looked at the situation over there through the crossbow's aiming window, waiting for the opportunity.
The opportunity soon appeared. Just a minute later, after the monster in the sea lost two more tentacles, the water in the sea area where the monster was located suddenly became as dark as ink.
"Do you want to run? Go to hell!" A loud shout came from the blue sword light, followed by a half-moon-shaped crescent-shaped brilliance more than 20 meters high, flying from the blue sword light. Come out and slash from the air into the sea.
The seawater seemed to solidify for an instant, and then was forced to separate on both sides by the crescent-shaped brilliance. A vacuum ravine with a length and depth of hundreds of meters was instantly formed on the dark water. Under the cut sea water, a huge and ferocious head as big as a hill was revealed...
Zhang Tie, who had been waiting for the opportunity, had no time to be shocked by the power of such a powerful blow from a knight. His right hand holding the excitation hammer instinctively smashed the hammer on the activation button of the steam ballista.
The fort shook, and the two-meter-long giant crossbow flew towards the monster's head along the empty ravine in the sea water. When the crescent-shaped ray of light hit the monster's head, it also shot into the monster's head.
Zhang Tie didn't know what the result would be, but he just felt that the giant crossbow he shot shot through the huge wound in the monster's head that Dao Guanghua had chopped open by accident.
The seawater on both sides of the cut gully in the sea poured in again, except for the still non-stop wind and waves. Everything seems to have calmed down...
The blue sword light disappeared, and a figure stood motionless in the sky above the sea where he had just fought with the monster in the strong wind.
Tens of seconds later, a small island-like body emerged from the sea, and along with the tentacles that had lost their vitality, they began to float on the surface of the sea.
The monster's body only exposed a small part of the sea, but that small part was already more than 20 meters above the sea.
The figure standing in the sky flew back again. When he came to the bow of the ship, the figure lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Tie. Without saying anything, he threw himself into the upper deck area where the VIP area of the Aurora was where he first appeared.
Zhang Tie stared blankly at the man's back. He was an old man whose age was indistinguishable at a glance. He looked a bit like he was in his fifties. There were very few wrinkles on his face, and he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old. , the kind of person whose whole person is full of vicissitudes of life, the old man has meticulously combed silver-gray hair. A pair of silver-gray eyes that put great pressure on people, a high forehead, a tall stature, and the whole person exuded a powerful and sharp aura. A sheathed sword hung from his waist.
Thinking about the last blow that the old man just sent out, that crescent-shaped brilliance split the sea water and blasted it directly to a hundred meters below the water surface, Zhang Tie felt as if he was in a dream. If he stood like this In front of a hundred people, Zhang Tie knew that with the power of that blow just now, a hundred of him would be finished.
Is this the combat power of a knight? Zhang Tie was dazzled as he thought, he didn't know when the day would come when he would be able to possess such powerful force. With one move, gods and ghosts could appear a hundred meters away.
"Star-Moon Sword Master, that person is Star-Moon Sword Master Samaranch!" someone shouted on the upper deck of the Aurora.
Samaranch, the Sword Saint of the Star and Moon, Zhang Tie remembered this name.
At this moment, the Aurora had stopped. As soon as the crisis outside was resolved, those people who had been staying in the cabin ran out one by one, and the sailors and sailors on the ship also began to come out to clean up the mess.
The body of the terrifying deep sea monster floating on the sea and the damaged parts of the ship made everyone who saw it stunned. The process just now, from the appearance of the deep sea monster to the end, was only a short time. Three or four minutes, but many people on the Aurora went back and forth from the gate of hell during this time period.
The so-called deep-sea giant monster looked like a giant squid that had completed some kind of mutation and evolution from the hill-like corpse floating on the sea. Zhang Tie observed it carefully.
Zhang Tie left his position at the bow of the ship.
"Lord Lord, can you collect some flesh and blood from the deep sea monster? You don't need too much, just a little bit as big as your finger is enough!"
A voice appeared directly in Zhang Tie's mind. The voice was very familiar to Zhang Tie. It was Heller, the steward of the Black Iron Castle.
Zhang Tie was still not used to talking to Heller on the phone like this.
"Is it you, Heller?" Zhang Tie asked in his mind.
"It's me, Lord Castle. I'm talking to you through the space door of the Black Iron Castle. No one can hear this conversation except you. With the increase of Lord Castle's mental power, such communication can no longer be done. It affects you. If the Lord’s mental power increases a little more, you can talk to me directly without entering the Black Iron Castle!”
When Heller said this, Zhang Tie felt relieved, "Why do you want the flesh and blood of the deep sea monster?"
"I can explain this to you in detail when the Lord of the Castle comes back. The flesh and blood of the Deep Sea Monster contains the genes of this creature. The genes of this mutated and evolved creature are very valuable and may be useful to the Lord of the Castle. , the vital activity in those genes can still last for several hours, and it can only be put to use if it is sent to the Black Iron Castle within this period of time!"
…
Just now, when the Xingyue Sword Master smashed one of the tentacles of the Deep Sea Giant Monster, the tentacles were completely cut into pieces and scattered everywhere. Just as he was walking back to his cabin, Zhang Tie unobtrusively He conveniently hid a half-fist-sized piece of slimy Deep Sea Monster flesh and blood from the railing of the damaged deck next to him. By putting his hand in his pocket, he immediately sent the piece of flesh and blood into the Black Iron Sea. fort.
