Chapter 351: Zehai’s Current Situation
The fleet rowed past, leaving a trail on the water, and the trail of water moved towards the Heze Sea ahead.
As they slid over it.
Some body parts were dragged into the water by something, probably a carnivorous creature.
"Bang!"
Followed by a sound of the sea surface breaking.
A sharp-toothed fish that was three meters long and looked extremely weird, even deformed, jumped out from the water.
“Boom!”
The sound of thunder.
A gray-blue lightning shot straight from the side.
It passed over Jason's shoulder as he was standing beside the boat, and hit the strange fish that jumped up and was about to bite Jason.
The gray-blue lightning hit the strange fish accurately, creating a huge gap in it. One third of its body dissipated and it quickly lost its life and fell into the sea.
As it fell into the sea, countless strange fish of the same kind gathered around it and began to gnaw on its corpse.
Porro strode over and looked at the situation below. The lightning patterns on his body flashed.
A large amount of electric light penetrated into the sea below.
As the lightning poured into the sea.
Smoke drifted out and groups of strange sea fish emerged from the sea, and then were bitten and dragged into the water.
Watching this scene, Alka frowned.
Some of these fish with lower infection rates can be roughly identified as species that they had eaten before.
A large number of them have become completely deformed and cannot be identified as their original species.
But it can be seen that these are all changed by some force and are not something that occurs naturally.
Julia stood by the boat and looked at the situation in the sea outside. The coin floated beside her and kept flipping.
"What's happening to these fish? Why did they become like this?" Jason asked in confusion.
"They are blaspheming the ocean!" Porro was extremely angry, and the lightning patterns on his body had even spread to his face, making him look extremely hideous.
Not only him, but also Matlisa and Julia behind him had uncontrollable anger.
As the corpses floated out, more and more strange fish gathered here.
The three of them began to use their respective abilities to clean up the fish below.
Before the Sound of Dawn reached the edge, Alka and the others also joined the operation of clearing out the strange fish.
Although they all knew that their actions would be a drop in the bucket for such a large sea area.
Two church teams were traveling behind them.
The captain of one of the ships of the Holy Mother Church watched Aka and his men's actions.
"The shark-man on their ship is actually a Storm Champion?" He turned to look at a priest next to him in confusion.
"We just found out about this now." The priest was the contact between the Our Lady team and Alka and his team.
I am quite familiar with Alka and the others.
"Storm Champion, you are really amazing."
The leader said.
Soon the fleet approached the edge of the swamp.
Alka and his companions boarded the Flying Swallow and sailed out through the opening at the bow.
As they drove out, the sound of dawn slowly moved away into the distance.
Alka and his companions waited in the swamp for the church team behind them to finish their preparations.
Those huge steel ships were parked side by side at the edge of the swamp, followed by the sound of mechanical roars.
Rows of openings were opened side by side on the sides of all the ships.
One after another, ships that were built like speedboats floated out, towing huge floating platforms like platforms behind them.
The table is loaded with various mechanical structures and members of the church.
The machine also emitted a manic roar in the direction of the Church of Our Lady.
"Lord Sarathi."
The middle-aged man named Sarati, who was the leader of the Holy Mother Church, waved his hand and looked in the direction of the Holy Machine Church: "Humph, childish."
Then he turned to the priests and knights behind him and said, "Pull out our boat!"
"yes!"
Following the command, soft rays of light floated out from the ships behind him, weaving into the shape of small boats in the air.
The church members behind were riding on it.
"Are they competing with each other?" Lucilia asked puzzledly while sitting on Alka's shoulder.
Alka smiled and nodded.
It makes sense. After all, they belong to two different gods, and they are on an island, separated from each other.
While they appear to be harmonious, they are definitely competing in secret and in all aspects .
This isn't necessarily a bad thing.
While several people were talking.
The leader of the Holy Mother Church, a middle-aged man named Arati, rowed towards Alka and his group in a light-woven boat.
Alka now had time to observe the leader.
He had dull wheat-colored medium-length hair, obvious scars on his forehead and chin, and even his beard was not shaved cleanly, making him look a little unkempt.
He was wearing a body-shaping, soft, light armor with a cloak-like outer garment on the outside.
He looks like a wandering knight.
A huge sword that looked to be at least 1.6 meters long was slung across his back, and two daggers were tucked into his calves.
In another direction, the leader of the Holy Machine Church also came over in a mechanical speedboat.
This leader looks very distinctive.
He was a sturdy man who was over two meters tall. His skin looked a little dark and had obvious signs of sunburn.
The most eye-catching thing was his shiny black bald head and his left hand. The forearm of his left hand had completely disappeared, replaced by a huge metal glove that was bigger than his head.
There is an exposed mechanical structure on it, which looks extremely rough, and you can see the energy or something inside emitting light.
His upper body was exposed, and one could see dense scars, burns, and bullet holes on it.
In addition, what is even more eye-catching is the weapon in his right hand, a huge mechanical power hammer that is taller than any other.
"Tsk!"×2.
On the way over, the two of them stood side by side, looked at each other, and made disdainful sounds.
Finally, they arrived next to Alka and his ship, the Swallow.
Arati came closer and nodded politely to Alka after seeing him: "Arati, a Golden Wheat Knight."
Although it sounds a bit earthy, wheat ears are an important symbol of the Virgin Mary.
Therefore, the elite group of church knights are called Golden Wheat Knights, just like the flower knights of the flower fairy. It is a naming method. Simple and direct.
After introducing each other, they looked at the ship of the Holy Machine Church approaching from the other side.
To be honest, this leader does not look like a church leader known for his knowledge and scholarship.
Even if you say he is a follower of the blacksmith god or the god of war, it will be easier for others to believe him.
Appearances are so deceiving.
When he came over, he first looked at Simon and nodded at him with a smile, then looked at Alka.
"Hello, my name is Ricky. I'm a Construct Knight of the Holy Machine Church."
Alka also shook his hand and introduced himself.
The two leaders were both knights, and Alka could clearly feel their strength.
It seemed that starting from the fourth stage, he no longer needed glasses to assist him in making distinctions. He could rely on his naked eyes to perceive the strength information of people who were not much taller than him.
Although it was very blurry, Alka could roughly tell what stage these people's strength was at.
For example, the two knights in front of him have reached stage 5 in strength, or even at the upper-middle level of stage 5.
It is also possible to be almost at the perfection of the five stages.
The specific details are unclear, but as for the stage, knowing the general direction is already his limit.
“In recent years, few church members have been willing to come to Zehai for exploration, so our understanding of this area is still from a few decades ago.
I wonder how much you know about this place now?"
Arati asked, looking at Alka.
"This is what people who lack ambition are like." Ricky, standing nearby, mocked Alati.
Hearing this, Arati looked up at him and said, "Oh? Since you know, then tell me about it?"
"This is the land of all spirits, an area that your church should know clearly. How would we know? We are not impolite people."
"Polite? If your exploration team had any manners, it would be like turning the sea upside down."
The two of them just kept on mocking each other.
Alka stood nearby, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You two are in a hurry now, why don't you let me tell you what I know?"
After hearing Alka's words, the two of them shut up at the same time. It seemed that the mutual ridicule just now did not exist at all, and they nodded calmly.
A map of the Land of Spirits appeared directly in Alka's hand, and he held it up between the three of them with magic power.
In his eyes, there were various cursors marking information on the map.
Alka pointed to where they were and said, "We are probably in this area, and our destination is here. This is the core of the entire Land of Spirits, the fragrant land where the flower fairies live.
According to our members who stayed on the island, about 1/3 of the entire Land of Spirits has fallen, and the main fallen areas are mostly close to the boundary between life and death.
The boundary between life and death is here. According to the information we have obtained, we are probably on the edge of the occupied area.
So our current situation is not very safe, and we may run into the enemy if we move forward."
The two looked at the information on the map and listened to Alka's story.
Arati frowned and asked, "Is the news reliable? When was the news?"
"Reliable, last night."
"Last night?" Ruikai was a little surprised, but it was just a little surprised. Then he nodded and didn't ask too much.
Believe in the credibility of Alka's information.
After briefly learning about Alka and his companions' knowledge of this place, and that their access to information was indeed much higher than theirs.
The two of them started asking questions directly and began to accept some of Alka's opinions.
After a brief discussion, the two returned to their respective teams and continued on their way.
But now there is no need for Alka and the others to lead the way, they just need to give a general direction.
The team moves forward.
The light-woven boats of the Holy Mother Church were in the front, forming an arrow shape, while the iron ships of the Holy Machine Church were scattered on both sides and in the back. In the middle was Alka and his men.
Although the formation is like this, they are actually dispersed widely, so the area they can cover can be said to be very wide.
There was a sound of something inflating from behind.
It attracted Alka and the others' attention and they turned to look.
At some point, a cone-shaped, blue-white balloon appeared behind them. Various machines were floating around and underneath it.
Soon an airship was assembled in front of them and then floated into the air.
They stopped about two or three hundred meters away, moving forward with their team to provide vision for everyone below.
"Even the airship was brought ?" Jason was a little surprised.
At this time, Alka turned to Simon next to him and asked, "Can you tell what these mechanical devices they are carrying?"
Simon nodded. As a member of the Holy Machine Church, he certainly knew what those things were.
"Did you see those three things with very obvious long barrels? They are very powerful long-range artillery weapons. However, they look a bit new, and should be improved models recently, but there is not much change in essence.
The platforms pulled behind the speedboats were actually armed power platforms that could quickly build a simple fortress on the spot.
In addition to some standard weapons, there are more personal structures of these church crews. These account for the majority, so I can't see them. "
Hearing Simon's words, Alka nodded.
Xia Daiti, who was standing next to him, frowned and said, "With so many weapons, it seems that this matter will not be so easy to resolve."
Alka also reminded: "This is only the first batch of advance teams, mainly used for rapid support. More main forces are still behind."
Only then did everyone remember this incident and nodded in shock.
Obviously, things are not so easy to solve this time.
And they may not play a big role in this real war.
Just as a few people were chatting, an alarm sounded from the sky.
"Hellish fluctuations detected, 1.3 kilometers to the side and front."
Hearing the sound, Alka and his crew immediately became alert, and the fleet quickly deviated from its direction of travel and sailed to the other side.
Rushed straight to the place where the fluctuation was detected.
"It seems that their goal is clear." Alka said as he watched the scene, and then the ship driven by Ye followed.
If the main goal is to quickly support the Land of Fragrance, it is obviously not a wise choice to turn around and deal with the Hell Wave on the other side.
Alka of the Holy Mother Church didn't know, but the Holy Machine Church was willing to send so many people to support, obviously because of the impact of the Hell's Gate here.
Alka suddenly remembered the deformed fish he had seen on the coast before.
The fish were not simply killed; Julia examined the carcasses.
The shapes of these fish were changed because they ate the flesh of those monsters, and they were also affected by the energy fluctuations transmitted from the swamp sea.
The terrifying thing is that the swamp sea can move. It will carry the corpses of monsters and the waves of hell along the way, spreading throughout this vast sea area.
This is obviously very deadly.
If you think about it this way, the priority for both churches is definitely to clear out anything that can transmit hell vibrations and the corresponding monsters.
The speed of the entire fleet was increasing, and soon they saw a huge portal in front of them that was seven or eight meters high.
The interior of the portal is a light orange-red with a yellow spiral.
A smell of sulfur wafted over.
Obviously this smell is deeply related to the demons of hell.
All kinds of demons emerged from under the portal. Most of them had red skin, which could not be called skin but rather something like muscle.
Sharp claws, sharp teeth, and weird horns.
These demons, big and small, have different shapes, but they are not idle. Instead, they fight with the undead monsters that rush out from the boundary between life and death.
The number of these demons is not low.
But it is obvious that there are more undead monsters at the border between life and death.
To a certain extent, the two are stuck together.
However, the number of demons that can be transported through the portal seems to be limited, and the number of demons transported through is slowing down at a rate visibly slowing down.
But the number of souls from the dead and the living coming over is increasing, as if it is endless.
Looking at this situation.
The two knights of the church were very rational. They immediately gathered their team and turned around to leave.
They were at a relatively far distance and did not alarm either side, who were already engaged in a bloody battle at that time.
The team changed direction and sped up, starting to move faster than they had been heading straight towards the Land of Fragrance.
Alka and the others also saw the battle in that area.
The largest number of undead monsters at the border of life and death were much more numerous than those they had encountered before at the Verdant Fortress on the border.
