Chapter 89: Sea Monster
The Sea Fist was sailing on the sea.
Ahead of them was a world of darkness. The sky was covered with thick, dark clouds, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate through it.
Behind us is a bright world, with the sun hanging high in the sky, casting bright light.
The curved dividing line in the middle divides the world into equal parts day and night.
Such a shocking sight.
The few people who came to the deck couldn't help but stand still, as if they had come to the angle between the sun and the moon.
This miraculous scene shook their hearts.
“It’s quite shocking, isn’t it?”
When several people heard what Andre said, they all nodded.
As the ship crossed the dividing line, it completely arrived at the dark area.
The light behind them was slowly moving away from them.
But at least it’s not completely dark here, after all, light can still shine in.
But after coming in, Alka clearly felt that the ship's speed was slowing down.
"The sailing speed has slowed down?"
Hearing Alka's words, Andre nodded.
"The sea breeze here is not strong, and the dark forces are still precipitating in the sea water below. Although these forces are dispersed, they will drag the ship and slow down the speed of the ship."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but look at the sea surface. At this time, the sea surface was still shining with the light from outside.
It was still as dark and extremely creepy as a huge mouth swallowing the abyss.
As the ship completely entered the darkness, the surroundings began to become pitch dark, and the only thing that could be seen was a long bright line in the distance behind.
The lanterns that had been hung on the side of the ship and on the mast lit up white light.
The light inside comes from the lighting stone that had been installed inside long ago.
In Andre's words, it was somewhat difficult for the weak flame to illuminate the darkness here.
Therefore, some expensive lighting stones are selected as consumables.
This kind of stone can be said to be the main expense in exploring the Dark Realm.
A small palm-sized stone emits light, enough to dispel the surrounding darkness.
Alka could even see the sails and the spells carved on the sides and decks flickering slightly.
The ship must be performing some unknown function.
“It’s so scary here!”
Lucilia, who had been hiding in Alka's mirror necklace, suddenly came out and hung on his back and said.
"The air here is filled with strange power, which seems to be infectious to souls like ours."
Lucilia said as she felt the darkness around her before she went back into Alka's necklace.
But her voice still came out from the necklace.
" I won't come out until you leave the Dark Realm. The darkness here seems to corrode the soul and drag it towards the evil spirit."
Hearing this, Alka just nodded. It was not convenient for him to talk to himself in the current place.
At this time, Gami drove his machine to Alka's side. He was using several tentacles to detect various runes on the ship.
"What are these runes used for?"
Alka couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hearing this, Jiami did not even raise his head and continued his work, but replied: "This rune is the protective rune of the Holy Mother Church, which means guarding, protecting and blessing."
"It is usually used as a nursery to protect the healthy growth of babies. Here, it can be protected and the darkness will not affect the members on the ship."
Hearing this, Alka nodded. This should be what Andre meant by why not to leave the ship at will.
It was a rare sight to see the tall Sangkaka at this time. He walked straight over, sat on the deck, and supported himself on the edge of the boat with his hands.
Because he was too tall, he would have to bend down completely to get his hands on the edge of the boat.
Sitting by the boat at this time is just like standing.
"To be honest, I kind of hate coming to this place." He complained to a few people.
"Why do you say that?" Jason asked curiously.
Hearing this question, Alka slapped him.
"Fool, there is a dark force in the sea water."
"Oh!" Jason suddenly realized: "I just remembered this."
For a fishman like Sangkaka who loves swimming, not being able to swim for a long time is indeed a very uncomfortable thing for him.
"Oh, I'm going to go back and rest."
After saying that, Sangkaka walked down the boat dejectedly . He was now going to enter his room through the main entrance.
In the past, whenever he entered his room, he would jump directly off the boat.
Watching him walk down the cabin, Alka suddenly thought of something.
"Wait, isn't his room connected to the sea water below? Isn't that a problem?"
Jamie, who was maintaining the spell on the boat, replied, "Don't worry. The first thing I did when I got here was to make him a filter that would remove the dark power and allow normal seawater to flow into his room."
Hearing this, Alka nodded in relief.
Vast sea area and slow sailing speed.
Coupled with the pitch-black road, there was even less that could be done.
You can imagine how boring the voyage will be afterwards.
It's only the second day.
Several people who were checking information in the captain's room couldn't stand it anymore.
Especially Xia Daiti, who was already quite active, was lying weakly on the table .
The mouth makes strange noises.
"If you're okay, go out and clean the deck and don't make any weird noises here."
Andre also looked at his daughter and said.
"No, this isn't some ordinary ship, and it's even more boring outside."
The deck was dark, and no one was there, which certainly couldn't have been more boring.
Speaking of boring, the people who were checking and recording information at the table looked like they were working.
But their robotic movements and lifeless eyes betrayed them.
After thinking for a while, a deck of cards appeared in Alka's hand.
Although there are playing cards in this world, the ways of playing are generally various comparisons and other ways that are strongly related to gambling.
Not very interesting.
"Let me teach you a new way to play poker."
"Okay, okay."
Xia Daiti, who had nothing to do and was so bored that he was blowing bubbles, immediately sat up straight and said with a look of joy.
As for whether it was fun or not, she didn't care at all. She just wanted to kill some boring time.
Then Alka explained the rules of the game to Xiadaiti and Jason, and the three of them played a game to demonstrate it to everyone.
Within an hour or two, everyone had become completely proficient.
…
"Haha, the king bomb! That's all, right? Ah, that's all, right? It's my turn!"
"Shunzi, that's all. I'm done."
Jason laughed, blowing the paper all over his face into the wind.
I finally won a game, and I feel proud.
Everyone had one or two pieces of paper stuck on their faces, but they were far less than Jason's.
He tore off a piece of paper and pressed it hard on Andre's forehead, and then pressed the other one on Vanessa's forehead.
I wish I could embed the note into their heads.
"Jason finally won. It wasn't easy." Xia Daiti joked from the side.
Only Alka relied on the fact that he was much more skilled than everyone else. After winning many times, he just put two pieces of paper on his face and looked at everyone with a smile.
He taught everyone how to play Landlord from his previous life. Boredom, novelty, and a more interesting way of playing made everyone quickly fall in love with this entertaining activity.
Finally, they were able to kill some boring time on the boat.
After doing this for a few hours in the room, Alka felt a little numb.
"I'm going out for some fresh air."
As he said that, he stood up, pushed open the wooden door and came out onto the deck.
Looking at the completely dark world outside.
Only the gentle sound of waves could be heard.
Without the moonlight to illuminate the darkness outside, it was like ink, splashing across the entire world.
If this wasn't a spell ship, it would be able to automatically avoid some reefs on the sea.
You can imagine how dangerous it is to sail in such a place.
For ordinary people who want to make a fortune here, dangers lurk everywhere.
For those who are prepared to touch it, the danger is greatly reduced.
Alka came to the edge of the boat, feeling the sea breeze blowing through the darkness.
He stretched himself vigorously.
After a while, Alka suddenly frowned. He smelled a faint fishy smell in the air.
"Danger!"
At this time, Lucilia's voice suddenly came from Alka's necklace.
Hearing this, Alka rolled backwards a few times without hesitation.
After rolling a few times, I saw a long tentacle swung out from the darkness.
However, he did not hit the deck directly, but hit a thin layer of white light shield.
As the blow moved, Alka saw the tentacle covered with suction cups, which looked like the tentacle of an octopus or a squid.
This attack alarmed everyone on the ship.
Andre, Jason and others quickly ran out of the captain's room.
The notes stuck on their faces were still waving in the wind, looking a little funny against their serious faces.
"It's a sea monster! Jamie!"
Hearing Andre's words, Jamie waved without hesitation.
The two rock-shaking cannons in the fire deck on the lower level were fired.
However, it was too dark around, and the shells from the stone-shaking cannon obviously did not hit the enemy.
This sea monster was also very smart. It had no intention of approaching and only used its tentacles to launch sneak attacks from time to time.
The energy of the protective shield was obviously getting weaker and weaker, and it felt dim.
"I can't see, it's too dark!"
Hearing this, Andre took out a monocular telescope and threw it to Gami.
Jamie took it and placed it on his eye socket.
Finally, I can see clearly the scene in the darkness through this monocular telescope.
