We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 294 Monsters from the Deep Sea! The Ghost Ship Appears!

The loud and long whistle broke the surface of tranquility.

at the same time.

The Black Swan suddenly accelerated, its steam-powered steering wheel deep inside the ship emitting a heart-pounding sound, as it charged headlong towards the Winchester ahead!
Xia En knew very well that in this dangerous situation, if he wanted to escape, he had to break through the encirclement as quickly as possible and break out from one of the directions.

It's like when you're in a group fight, you can only be effective if you focus on one enemy and beat him until he's scared and badly hurt.

If the breakout is too slow, they will be entangled by the enemy.

Once the other enemy ships arrive, the Black Swan will be like prey caught in a spider's web.

They're sinking deeper and deeper, with nowhere to escape!
At this moment, the Winchester, located ahead of the Black Swan, undoubtedly became the best target for breakthrough.

In short, it all boils down to one sentence—

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Upon seeing the colossal Black Swan hurtling towards him, Simon's previously calm expression instantly darkened.

"Extremely stupid!"

He never expected that the captain of the Black Swan would be so foolish as to give up such generous terms.

Instead of handing over Feiya directly, they chose to take the initiative to attack them.

What annoyed Simon even more was that the guy had made him the target of the breakout.

"Ha... You dare to use me as a weak point? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Don't underestimate him!"

After spitting out words filled with anger through clenched teeth, Simon decisively issued the order.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up even more!"

"Move the boat alongside!"

Upon hearing this, the sailors, including Milott and Gamba, felt a little apprehensive.

The Black Swan was simply moving too fast, and showed no signs of slowing down at all.

If the Winchester were to accelerate further, a collision would be earth-shattering.

Even if the Black Swan is successfully intercepted, the Winchester will suffer extremely serious damage.

However, Captain Simon did not see it that way.

The Winchester will certainly be damaged in this collision, but the Black Swan will certainly not fare any better.

Moreover, as long as the speed of the Black Swan can be reduced.

The remaining four vampire ships will be able to quickly arrive nearby, leaving the enemy with no chance of escape.

At that time, having made a great contribution, he would naturally receive compensation and rewards from his family.

As for the lower-ranking crew members on board?
If one batch dies, just replace it with another, right?
Moreover, Simon harbored a secret ambition that he never told anyone else—

The steam mechanic named "Feiya" possessed an ancient bloodline that could move the [River of Blood], yet he also showed resistance to returning to his family.

So, it shouldn't be a problem for me to taste his blood, right?

Thinking of this, a glint of greed flashed in Simon's eyes.

For vampires, the nobler the bloodline, the greater the boost to their strength after absorbing it.

Perhaps he can use Fei Ya's blood to complete the transformation of his bloodline?
Suppressing his desires, Simon coldly gave orders to the crew.

"What are you all standing there for? Stop him!"

The crew dared not disobey his orders and had no choice but to grit their teeth and steer the Winchester forward.

As the distance between the two ships rapidly decreased, Milot and the others were able to see the shape of the Black Swan more clearly.

The steep gunwales, the towering masts, the thick and savage ram... and that indomitable spirit!
It's as if... no matter what obstacles stand in its way, they will simply be crushed without any fancy moves.

The gale-force winds surged in with the waves, and a massive shadow loomed over everything.

"It's going to crash! It's going to crash!!!"

someone exclaimed.

The sailors immediately ran to the nearest railing or handrail to avoid being thrown overboard in the instant of impact.

However, the expected earth-shattering impact did not occur.

Just as the two ships were about to collide, the Black Swan disappeared, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Instead, a huge wave appeared.

It was like a whale suddenly diving into the sea.

"This is?"

Simon stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the rolling waves of the sea.

His senses were far more acute than those of the average crew member, so in that instant, he witnessed the truth behind the "disappearance" of the Black Swan!

It did not leave this place through some kind of spatial teleportation, but sank directly beneath the sea surface!
Its agile and nimble figure was just like a giant beast that lived in the ocean, only now it had returned to the embrace of the sea.

"Crazy! It's crazy!"

Simon was furious and shocked. He certainly didn't think the Black Swan was courting death.

Clearly, that large ship has the ability to sail underwater!
However, this was something that even Simon, in all his years of sailing, had never seen, let alone ordinary crew members.

"The Black Swan... sank into the sea?"

"That ship, can it sail on seawater?"

Milott lowered his head, watching the masts and chimneys gradually disappear beneath the sea, overwhelmed with awe.

Is this really something a ship could do?
Isn't its captain afraid that the Black Swan will be forever submerged by the sea?

At this moment, the other crew members felt the same way.

But soon, Milot let out another surprised exclamation.

"Look, what is that?"

The shadow beneath the sea surface expanded outwards at an extremely rapid speed, like some kind of fluctuating mass of flesh.

At the edge of the shadows, a large number of ever-changing and ever-growing dark things extend out.

It was as if hundreds of arms were wriggling and waving in the ocean, stirring up the surrounding seawater and making the waves increasingly turbulent.

Seeing this, the sailors couldn't help but feel a deep-seated fear.

Some people couldn't help but shout.

"monster!"

"That ship... is a monster from the deep sea!"

Beneath the surface of the sea, countless soft tentacles of unknown origin floated around the Black Swan, wriggling and intertwining... uttering whispers and murmurs beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

At this moment, it no longer resembled a ship, but rather a mysterious offspring covered in tentacles!

The dark tentacles spreading around the ship's hull were none other than Shane's skill—

[The Touch of the Deep!]

Given the Black Swan's robustness, it certainly wouldn't be afraid of a head-on collision with the Winchester.

However, in this encirclement, a collision would undoubtedly greatly reduce the speed of the Black Swan, and it might even be stopped by the other side!

Therefore, Shane chose a tactic that was simply impossible for other ships to execute.

Submerge into the sea and launch an attack directly from the bottom of the Winchester.

Under Shane's control, numerous tentacles churned wildly in the seawater, making the currents in this area extremely chaotic.

……

...on the Winchester.

The ship rocked and swayed in the waves, and the steam core began to roar again.

At this moment, the helmsman already felt the terrifying influence of those numerous tentacles—
The ship was tilting and swaying to one side, and he had to do everything he could to stabilize it in the erratic currents.

What made the helmsman even more desperate was...

He sensed that countless dark tentacles were entangled on the rudder and hull of the Winchester on the seabed, and were about to drag the entire ship into the deep sea!

The helmsman murmured, "What exactly are we fighting against?"

Fear stems from the unknown.

The pitch-black shadows beneath the surface and the wildly writhing, soft limbs reminded the crew of legendary deep-sea monsters, those indescribable things that should not be seen by humankind.

Crunch...crunch...

Under the powerful pull of the tentacles, the entire ship began to emit unsettling sounds, as if it were about to fall apart at any moment.

Fortunately, the secret travelers on board took action, each using their own methods to stabilize the ship and fight against the massive shadow beneath the sea.

"Hold on!!!"

At this moment, Simon showed his captaincy, looking around at everyone with a fierce gaze and shouting loudly.

"Just hold on a little longer, and the Black Rose will be here soon!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in the sailors' eyes.

the reason is simple.

Captain Dobam of the Black Rose is a genuine sixth-tier Mystic!
As long as we can hold out until Dobham arrives, everything will be alright!
In fact, there are quite a few secret travelers on the Winchester, such as Simon himself, who is a fifth-tier powerhouse.

However, none of them dared to directly engage in sea combat.

Apart from those Secret Path users with strong sea creature bloodlines, most Secret Path users will have their combat power affected to some extent when fighting in the sea.

Especially for certain professions that require spellcasting with "words," their combat power is reduced by more than 80% after going to sea.

In fact, Simon and the other secret guides made the right decision.

If they really dare to go to sea and fight, Shane will show them what a "Deep Sea Devourer" is!
at this time.

The Black Rose, the closest ship to the Winchester, is already approaching the location of the two ships at full speed.

Upon seeing this, Simon and his crew members couldn't help but show a hint of joy on their faces.

Follow this trend.

The Black Rose arrived before the underwater tentacles could pull the Winchester into the sea.

However, the next moment.

The sky suddenly turned dark.

It seemed as if an invisible curtain rose from beneath the sea, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.

Darkness spread like a tide.

Such darkness instilled a strong sense of unease in the hearts of every sailor on board.

They couldn't understand why the celestial phenomena in this sea area would suddenly change so drastically, and they couldn't imagine that this was the work of a secret traveler!

Only those who had reached the fifth rank or higher in the secret path had vaguely sensed something.

On the deck of the Black Rose, Dobam, with his full beard, frowned.

"……field?"

"Such a vast area, such refined secret power..."

His expression was unusually solemn, but soon he realized the essence of that aura and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It's a pity you're only at the fifth rank."

"If that's the case, then go die!"

But suddenly.

In Dobham's field of vision, an enormous ship suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

The ship is so huge.

Let alone the Winchester and the Black Swan, all the ships on this sea at this moment looked like tiny little boys in front of this ship.

What shocked people the most was not its size, but the layer of eerie blue flames burning on its body!
The eerie blue flames illuminated the surrounding darkness, as if even the sea surface had been set ablaze.

It was not a physical flame, but it possessed a destructive power more dangerous than temperature.

Just looking at it is enough to send chills down your spine and make you feel a cold shiver down your spine.

"My God! What is that thing?"

"Ghost ships? So ghost ships really do exist on the Seven Seas?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

Suddenly, someone remembered a rumor they had heard and exclaimed in disbelief, "The Diamond Star!"

"That's the legendary Diamond Princess!"

"But shouldn't that ship be in the [Misty Sea]? How did it end up here?"

No matter how shocked or unable people are to accept it.

The Diamond Star's operations have not stopped.

Accompanied by a breathtaking roar and a sudden surge of wind and waves.

This towering, mysterious ship-shaped shadow, like a raging, burning cliff, was crashing down on the Black Rose!

"What the hell!"

Dobam couldn't help but curse.

Even he found the appearance of this ship too incredible.

Before the Diamond Star appeared, Dobam had not seen any signs of any ships approaching.

If the Diamond Princess had been spotted earlier, the impact could have been avoided.

But at this current distance...

The Black Rose has nowhere to hide and can only face the challenge head-on!

Dobam took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned unusually flushed.

Then, he stretched out his right hand and slapped forward with his palm.

In an instant, a crimson blood cell made of fresh blood rapidly coagulated, its color visibly darkening until it turned into a chilling blackish-red.

Immediately afterwards, the ball of blood flew forward at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, blocking the path of the Diamond Star.

boom!
The moment the two collided, a terrifying roar and explosion were produced.

The blood-red light and the ghostly blue flames eroded each other, resulting in a brief stalemate.

But in the blink of an eye, the eerie blue flames completely engulfed the blood-red light, surging towards the hull of the Black Rose like a tidal wave, spreading wildly across everything on the deck.

At the same time, the bow of the Diamond Star finally made contact with the small boat below.

Click!

The sturdy hull of the Black Rose broke suddenly after just one collision.

The cracks on the hull spread outwards rapidly and quickly merged into one.

Finally, under the unstoppable force, the entire ship shattered completely and slowly sank into the sea.

The Black Rose has fallen!
