After hearing what Dempsey said, the students were stunned, and Quinton was also stunned, "What?"
"It is indeed safe to stay in the cabin now, but once the ship is damaged and flooded, no one hiding in the cabin can escape. There may be a way for those on the deck to survive," Dempsey said. .
"This..." Quinton hesitated. To be honest, he really hadn't thought about this level.
"Stay on the deck." Dempsey said again, "Be careful to dodge attacks and don't be like the two idiots without eyes just now. If it doesn't work, just jump into the sea."
After finishing speaking, Dempsey ignored the panicked crowd, and he and the other three wizards moved more nervously to intercept the attacking tentacles of the giant squid.
While intercepting, Dempsey frowned.
Although the seawater giant arm can indeed block the squid's tentacle attack, because the seawater arm is not strong at all, it can only be used as a one-time defense method and cannot completely restrain the giant squid. During the defense process, he and Sif were at a disadvantage. If the giant squid continued to attack, the four wizards would be killed.
This can't go on like this.
Dempsey thought in his mind, and then said to Sif aloud: "I must find a way to teach this squid a lesson, let it know that we are not easy to deal with, and prompt it to give up its attention on the giant ship, otherwise this will happen." If we continue to use it up, we won’t be able to hold on.”
"Then how do you teach it a lesson?" asked the wizard Sif.
Dempsey took a deep breath and said: "You cooperate with me and help me restrain the tentacles of this squid for more than one second, and I will let it see blood."
"Okay." The three wizards, Silver, looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They did not question whether Dempsey could do it. After all, there was no room for doubt at this time.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three tentacles attacked again, two of which were knocked away by Quinton and Lewis respectively, but the remaining one kept approaching the deck.
The students on the deck began to exclaim and were already preparing to dodge. At this moment, Sifu raised his hand, and two water pillars emerged from the sea water, turning into two giant arms that were more than one meter thick and more than ten meters long and grabbed him hard. The end of a squid's tentacles.
The squid's tentacles struggled, and the arms made of seawater were about to collapse. Sif recited a spell loudly. The next moment, the two arms made of seawater quickly froze and turned into ice crystal giant arms, tightly locking the squid's tentacles.
Although cracks continued to appear in the ice crystal giant's arms as the tentacles struggled, they would not be destroyed quickly.
This spell obviously took a lot of energy from Sifu. After the spell was released, Sifu's face turned pale, but he didn't say much and just nodded to Dempsey.
Dempsey nodded in response and then took action.
With a flick of his arm, a short black staff flew out of his sleeve, and he caught it with a "snap".
Holding a short black staff, Dempsey aimed at the squid tentacles locked by two ice giant arms and chanted a long spell.
The squid felt the danger and struggled hard with the trapped tentacles. There were more and more cracks on the ice giant's arms. The rest of the squid's tentacles also flew over, preparing to rescue them, but they were blocked by Quinton, Lewis, and Silver with all their might.
Dempsey held a short staff and continued to recite the spell as if he didn't see anything.
As the spell sounded, turbulent mana fluctuations began to appear throughout the ship. Ordinary students could not feel anything yet, but the wizard apprentices looked at Dempsey with wide eyes and understood the power of this spell.
Richard raised his eyebrows, glanced at Dempsey, and then pursed his lips.
"Hiss!"
The squid became even more violent, its tentacles struggled desperately, and the two ice crystal giant arms were already crumbling. All the tentacles came out like crazy, and it was extremely difficult for Sif and the other three wizards to hold on.
At this moment, Dempsey stopped incanting and shouted: "Go!"
With a flick of the short staff, a golden light flew out.
The squid struggled with all its strength, and with a "crash" the tentacle finally broke free, but before it had time to retract it, the golden light had already caught up with the tentacle and hit the last part.
There was a "pop" sound, like boiling water poured into the snow, like a sharp blade cutting through the paper. After the end of the tentacle was hit by the golden light, it fell directly from the air without any struggle, and hit the ground with a "pop" sound. The deck is near the edge.
At the break of the tentacle, golden light coiled up like a tarsal maggot, moving towards the squid's trunk.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The squid made an extremely sharp sound, whether it was anger or howling, and the remaining tentacles opened towards the giant wheel like a violent storm, but were blocked by Dempsey and the other wizards one by one.
…
After a while.
The giant squid stopped attacking and retracted all its tentacles, digesting the physical damage caused by the golden light shot by Dempsey. It was obvious that it already knew the strength of the wizard on the giant wheel.
But he did not leave. Instead, he kept a distance of about a hundred meters from the giant wheel and kept following it, making a "hissing" sound from time to time.
"What does it want to do? A threat? But it has been threatening for so long, why doesn't it attack? Or is it asking for peace? Then why doesn't it leave?" Wizard Sif frowned and analyzed in confusion.
"Maybe..." Dempsey said, his eyes falling on a tentacle of the giant squid that was cut off on the deck, "Maybe it wants to take back a part of its body."
"That… "
"Give it back." Dempsey said. "If it knows what it is, it will take back the tentacles and leave immediately. If it doesn't leave and has any thoughts about the giant wheel, then I will have to use some methods that I don't want to use. Really It needs to be taught a lesson.”
"Okay." The other three wizards nodded, glanced at the giant squid in the distance, and agreed to this approach.
The wizard Sif looked to the side and saw a student who was closest to the tentacle. He stretched out his hand and said: "You, push the tentacle into the sea."
The student who heard this was slightly startled, and the people around him immediately gave him expressions of pity or gloating. In the eyes of everyone, the giant squid is so dangerous, so the chopped off tentacles may also be somewhat dangerous. Maybe when you get close, the tentacles will suddenly open a hole and swallow the person. But since they were not designated by the wizard to do this, they were not worried. They just looked at the designated student as if they were watching a good show.
The named student seemed to be stunned and stood still for a long time without moving.
Wizard Sif frowned: "Why, you don't want to?"
"Uh, no, Master Wizard, I'll do it right now." Richard said, walking quickly towards the squid's tentacles. Hearing the words "be careful" whispered by Gro and Nancy behind him, thoughts were racing in his mind.
I was just stunned because I didn't expect to be called upon to do this.
In fact, before he was called, he was still thinking about how to get access to the tentacle.
This tentacle is not an ordinary tentacle, but the tentacle of a hundred-meter-long giant squid. There are definitely some secrets of the giant squid hidden in the flesh and cells of the tentacles. Maybe we don't have the ability to study it at the moment, but collecting part of the tissue structure and freezing it may be useful one day, and it can play a huge role.
And just when he was thinking about how to contact the tentacles, he was directly assigned by the wizard. The reason was just because when the tentacles fell just now, because they had determined the landing point in advance, they did not hide far away like the others.
this…
How to say it
Is it luck? Is it luck? Or is it a matter of destiny
Richard thought as he walked towards the squid's tentacles, and then remembered something worth thinking about.
It stands to reason that squids, octopuses and the like are creatures with strong regenerative abilities. Similar to geckos, a new tentacle can be grown after breaking off one tentacle, let alone just breaking off a piece of tissue at the end of the tentacle. .
If it hadn't been for the wizard Dempsey's previous spell that had given the squid additional damage, it's likely that the squid wouldn't have cared about this broken tentacle at all. Apart from a little pain, it was probably just a "fingernail" forcibly trimmed by wizard Demps.
So the question is, why is the squid chasing after the "fingernails" that have been cut off? Unless...there is something important hidden in this "nail".
That…
