Chapter 305: The Border of Life and Death/Ship of the Dead

As the boat sailed, the dark green coastline came closer and closer to them.

They could already see from the boat what was so special about the place called Zehai.

The sea water has been completely dyed green. If you have good eyesight and look carefully, you can see the vines entwined beneath the sea surface.

And various unknown plants growing in the cracks between the vines. These plants fill the gaps between the vines and turn them into land under the sea.

Judging from the appearance of this vine, it can indeed be a good place to stay.

But there was something clearly wrong with the swamp in front of them.

The color is not emerald green, but a dark green color. It looks dull and turbid, and does not have that kind of vibrant feeling.

Then naturally it is not the same place as their destination, the Land of Spirits.

The Land of Spirits is described as a lush green area. You can feel the vitality just by looking at it, and even the air is full of life.

In front of them, besides the dark green color, there was also a kind of dark and gloomy feeling.

In areas with a dark atmosphere, it is easy to lock onto targets within three areas.

Maybe it's just like Jason said.

This is the boundary between life and death where life and death are mixed, the most dangerous area.

The place where the giant dragon, the god representing death, fell.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look up at Jason who was sticking his head out of the window in the observation room at the top.

"Hehe." He smiled awkwardly and silently retracted his head.

"Voice of Dawn, slow down and prepare to turn the ship around." Alka said loudly.

Rated as the most dangerous area, they were better off just looking at the coastline from a distance and not bringing their boats too close.

Just keep a safe enough distance.

Hearing Alka's words, the ship immediately slowed down and then slowly turned its bow.

It started moving diagonally.

After a while, when they were only about 2 kilometers away from the coastline, they adjusted their direction and began to align with the coastline, heading to one side along the coastline.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special from this perspective?" Simon said, looking at some details on the sea from afar through the mechanical structure above his eyes.

It looked like a swamp made of plants, except that it was incredibly large.

"It's different. The chaos here is much worse than other places." Julia said, looking ahead.

Although she no longer believes in life, she has even become an apostate.

But the ability to detect the environment is ingrained in her bones and is determined by the characteristics of her race.

Otherwise, the mermaid race would not be all environmental protectors under the command of life.

It just suffered some weakening and reduced means on the life side, and the talents and other spells used in learning were not affected.

"The vigorous vitality and the weakening death are mixed together. The two extremely opposing forces are almost fused here.

How on earth is this possible? No wonder this place is called the border between life and death."

Just like the records they had seen before.

However, after seeing this endless and unchanging marshland border for so long, my curiosity has been satisfied and there is nothing interesting left.

Because they had been looking for so long, there was really nothing special on it, perhaps because it was too far away from the interior.

Although they could sense the danger, they were far enough away.

After watching for nearly an hour, everyone stopped paying special attention and remained alert while doing their own things on the boat.

According to what they know.

The area of the swamp is ridiculously large if they drive around the edge.

It is obviously difficult to reach another area without dozens of days and nights.

If the Zehai is divided into 4 parts, the land of spirits and the boundary between life and death will each occupy one part.

The area where life and death meet is about 2/3 of the sea area of the Twin Islands chain and a little more.

The problem is that they can only sail around the border and cannot pass through it, so it takes much longer.

The puppet girls were no longer as lazy as before and began to be distributed in various positions on the ship.

Always observe the movements around you.

…

"Maybe we have to get around it much earlier than we thought." said Xia Daiti, who was observing in the observation room at the time.

Alka, who was just coming in to take over, looked at her strangely when he heard this.

"This swamp is also moving, and it happens to be in the opposite direction of us."

Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding. In this way, the time they spent would indeed be reduced a lot.

If Zehai moved fast enough, maybe the number could be reduced by half.

Go to the observation room and look into the distance.

Looking closely, it is indeed difficult to tell whether Ze Hai is retreating quickly or moving.

Because the place is so green, it's hard to tell.

However, if you use a certain area as a reference, careful calculation will reveal that he is moving backwards too fast.

The Voice of the Dawn was obviously not traveling at such a fast speed.

After simply observing for a while.

Alka came to the center of the observation room, sat cross-legged under the top crystal disc and turned on the magic gathering stone device.

The magic power gathered and began to meditate.

However, the meditation did not last long.

Yi, who was observing nearby, and his teammates began to shake Alka.

"Captain, there's something going on."

Noticing the movement outside, Alka opened his eyes.

He immediately stood up, turned off the magic gathering stone, and looked out through the transparent glass.

Look in the direction Yi pointed.

There was still an endless green sea on the side, but in front of them, close to the coastline, something that was obviously a ship began to sail towards them.

Because it was far away and diagonally in front of them, it was not clear.

The mirror surface appeared on Alka's face.

A strange, bulging-eyed creature, transformed into a mask, was imprinted on Alka's face.

Using the creature's special ability, Alka closed the distance in an instant.

It was almost as if he was sticking next to the boat, carefully observing the ship-like object in the distance.

Or rather, it was a ship.

From the appearance, it looks extremely shabby, like a ship that was swept into pieces by huge waves and then pieced together in an extremely simple way.

Broken pieces of rotten wood were spliced together by vines, at least to reconstruct the shape of the ship, which was obviously a three-dimensional sailing ship, but only two masts were left that seemed to be standing.

The third one near the tail had broken in the middle, and even the sail had become just a few pieces of cloth hanging on it and drifting in the wind.

Judging from the appearance of this ship, it is absolutely certain that the person coming here has no good intentions.

Alka tapped the button next to him without hesitation.

The clear sound of copper bells spread out.

Immediately, there was a sound of busy footsteps on the deck.

There was no need for Alka to warn the people below, as they immediately noticed the movement in the distance, the ship coming towards them.

Observing through their various means.

The flying team led by Jiu spread their wings like dragonflies and flew quickly in the air.

Their bodies turned into streams of light and flew away. They would observe the appearance of the ship from a close distance in the air.

This group of flying squadrons have been upgraded and changed compared to before.

Attached to his body were some spells that were analyzed by Xia Daiti through the Ring of Light.

It can greatly increase their flying speed in the air, especially when the sun is shining brightly during the day, and can also improve their physical fitness and attack methods, allowing them to carry out long-range attacks consisting of light beams.

The speed of cash withdrawal has now been improved to a higher level compared to the past.

And now the sun is shining brightly.

The streams of light from their flying bodies blended perfectly with the scorching sun in the sky, concealing their figures in the air.

The small body was still in the air and was easily hidden.

Flying at an extremely fast speed, it arrived above the dilapidated ship.

He began to quickly record the situation on the ship from all angles, and transmitted it to Lucilia through the internal network in his mind.

At this time, Lucilia was on the deck repeating the information that had been passed on.

“It is 63 meters long, 21 meters wide, and has only one gun deck, so it is presumed to be a merchant ship.

There are living creatures on the ship... plant monsters... no, they are undead creatures!"

“These undead creatures are somewhat strange, with plants and vines entwined around their bodies, and they have become one with the plants and vines.

The plants in the cracks on the boat have changed. The buds have blossomed! The flowers are shooting at them."

Hearing this, Simon immediately raised the lens structure on his face and quickly observed the situation in the distance.

On the boat made of tattered gray wooden boards and green plants, strange flowers appeared one after another.

The flowers kept swaying back and forth, spitting out gray and black substances into the air.

The bullets, like seeds, shot quickly into the sky, forcing Jiu and others who were scouting in the sky to fly quickly to avoid them.

More and more flowers are blooming.

The seeds ejected upwards have formed a barrage.

"Let them come back."

Hearing the voice above her head, Lucelia immediately gave the order.

Jiu and his flying squadron, who were hiding from detection in the air in the distance, immediately began to flee in all directions.

Then they regrouped as a team in the distance and returned to the ship.

The tattered ship began to speed towards them.

“Prepare for battle!”

Alka said, looking towards Yi and several of his teammates in the observation room.

"I'll leave the investigation up there to you."

After saying that, he jumped out of the window.

Look at the ship in the distance.

"Jason, the first wave of engagement is up to you. Activate the rock-shaking cannon on the ship. Also, the cannon that has never been fired."

Hearing this, Jason rubbed his hands and nodded impatiently.

He took control of the Seal of Dawn, stretched out his right hand and began to fiddle with it.

The baffle of the lower gun deck moved away automatically, and the gun poked its head out of the muzzle. It moved left and right as Jason swung his arm.

After experiencing it, Jason nodded.

The Sound of Dawn quickly turned the bow on the spot and greeted the enemy from the side.

"Bang!"

However, the first shot was not fired by them, but came from a distance.

The enemy launched the attack before them.

The bow of the broken ship had a big hole in the place where the figurehead was, and a huge flower structure like a morning glory protruded from the hole.

As the morning glory shrinks.

A gray-black seed-like object, as big as a normal human, was ejected.

It cut through the air, making a sharp sound.

"I'll do it." Simon said and raised his right hand beside the boat.

The treasure on the index finger flashed slightly, and the precise hand formed by the entire right hand began to change, and a gun barrel appeared in the hand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the incoming shells.

A ball of light condensed and ejected.

The seed shell flew in a straight line at an extremely fast speed and hit the target accurately.

It was possible to discover at the moment of contact that the beam was composed of pure fire energy.

The ball of light grew larger the moment of impact, and with an explosion, the seeds emitting gray-black smoke fell into the sea.

The Sound of Dawn has also been wrapped in a thin layer of magical film.

"The enemy's long-range attack has a wider range than ours." Jason said as he looked at it.

But apparently there was only the flower cannon on the bow.

At this time, the flower cannon seemed to be preparing for a second attack.

But during the attack, the shabby ship did not stop, but continued to move towards them.

At the moment when the flower cannon is about to attack.

Finally, they fell into the attack range of Alka and his men.

Jason put down his right hand that was controlling the ordinary rock-vibrator and raised his left hand and swung it down fiercely.

With his control, the black muzzle of the Azora's Destroyer, which was originally fixed on the top of the tail building, quickly turned around.

In an instant, he aimed at the enemy ship.

The most powerful siege weapon on this ship is a blue treasure they obtained when they just arrived in the Infinite Sea.

Weapons of war constructed by Vastvar.

Apart from previous test launches, it has never been used to attack the enemy.

This is his first business.

As Jason waved his hand to start.

A large amount of energy gathered at the muzzle, energy gathered.

A grayish-white sphere quickly cut through the air and flew towards the enemy ship.

Everyone's attention was focused on the gray-white ball of light that was spurting out.

It hit the enemy's bow in a straight line, which was the area where the flower cannon was located.

The moment they touched, the gray-white sphere expanded.

Completely cover the breach in the bow and the area where the flower cannon boat prime minister is located.

With the dazzling light flashing.

Xia Daiti on the boat immediately waved his hand and grabbed the light that was shining towards them.

As the light disappeared, everyone could see the situation of the enemy ship clearly.

The head was completely destroyed, and the flower cannon had long disappeared without even a trace of debris.

A sunken semicircular gap appeared at the bow of the enemy's already dilapidated ship.

It's like someone dug it out.

At this moment, the enemy's ship also slowed down.

It even began to become unstable and shook slightly because a large part of its structure was missing.

The plants above began to connect closely with each other. The flowers and plants began to become more closely connected with the wooden boards.

"Awesome, it's a ship killer." It was the first time Simon saw Atora's Destroyer attacking an enemy ship.

The power of this attack is really satisfying.

At this time, the enemy ship was already completely close to the combat range, and Jason raised his right hand and swung it down.

The side-mounted rock-shaking cannon, which had been perfectly aimed at the target, fired instantly, and shells were ejected with a dull sound.

It drew arcs and accurately hit the enemy's already dilapidated ship.

The creaking and breaking sounds even reached their ears.

The already fragile tattered wooden boards and vines were smashed to pieces, leaving holes in them .

However, such damage obviously would not cause much damage to the ship.

The breach would hardly cause enough damage to the already dilapidated ship to cause it to sink.

"Bang!"

However, the shells that smashed into the enemy ship did not stop there. Instead, a raging fire burst out with the explosion, completely igniting the surrounding area.

Seeing the effect, Simon smiled.

"This is not an ordinary shell. They will be in trouble."

These shells had already been modified by Simon and had long since become bomb-like in structure, with spells drawn inside.

The shabby ship immediately turned into a sea of fire.

As the distance shortened, they were finally able to see the strange monsters on the deck.

Undead creatures similar to rotting skeletons, but they are covered in green.

Various weeds and vegetation cling to their bodies like moss, and one can even see bright little flowers on the bodies of some of the dead.

It doesn't match their appearance at all.

The shabby ship stretched out huge vine tentacles one after another. These dark green vine tentacles also had structures similar to tendons and bones.

But the range of the vine tentacles was too short to reach Alka and the others.

I didn't understand what I wanted to do.

At this time, the attacking behavior of the vine tentacles shocked everyone.

The vines entangled the undead on the boat, and then threw them towards them with force like a catapult.

"You're joining the team like this?"

Although a little surprised, everyone immediately began to respond.

Looking at the undead creatures flying towards them in a parabola in the air, they cannot let these ghost things pollute the sound of dawn.

The first to move was the crystal dragon that had been lying on the top of the mast. She flapped her wings and flew up, exhaling crystal clear breath.

As the breath of flight continued, the first few undead spirits that flew over were immediately condensed into crystals in the air.

The crystal dragon suddenly flapped its wings in the air in a strange posture and made a maneuver on the spot.

A tailspin.

The luster formed by the rainbow radiated around with beautiful brilliance, and the tail slammed into the condensed crystal.

It broke into pieces and fell towards the sea.

The beam of light that Xia Daiti had originally held in her hand turned into spheres and was thrown out by her.

It smashed down on the undead in the air, cutting them off halfway.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Simon laughed.

The Dawn Eagle's panels popped open.

A buzzing sound came out.

One after another, Sentinel aircraft flew out frantically.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least thirty or forty of them.
