Chapter 215: Battle of the Deep Sea
While Sunan was enjoying the seafood delicacies, Xie Man and others, who had just arrived at Rainbow Bay not long ago, had already entered the Rainbow Sea by boat.

On the endless sea.

A giant ship as high as ten meters sailed slowly, parting the water surface and stirring up waves.

“This is the Rainbow Sea.”

Artil stared at the glittering sea more than 500 meters away with shining eyes. The gorgeous violet light rippling in the waves was extremely beautiful.

Because it is located at the intersection of the sea and land veins, some spectacular effects occasionally appear here. The sea surface sometimes emits various strange lights, and the name of the Rainbow Sea comes from this.

Tatjana stood at the edge of the deck, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

There are no oceans in the underground world, only lakes and swamps.

It was the first time she saw the real sea with her own eyes.

The sparkling, endless sea surface, and the intersecting horizon in the far distance, all made her feel open-minded and happy.

There is almost no land in sight, only a small number of seabirds, and the ocean fish seem to be very abundant.
But these fish looked very strange, many of which she had never seen before.

On the other side, Sherman, Corey and Fleming were chatting with a woman.

The woman had a beautiful face and a slim figure, except for her thick snake-like tail in the lower half.

This also shows her identity - a noble among the sphinxes.

In the process of unifying the underground world, the Covenant conquered more than a dozen lion-faced city-states, and these lion-faced tribes were eventually transferred to Carolina's command.

This sphinx noble named Andrea is the lord of one of the city-states.

Now he is the lord of one of the city-states in Rainbow Bay.

Upon hearing that they wanted to enter the Rainbow Sea for field observation, he took the initiative to accompany them and also thoughtfully brought a group of guides.

The so-called guides are actually a group of fishmen.

They are only as tall as an adult male's waist, have indigo skin, a fish head, and a torso and limbs similar to humans, but covered with a layer of fine scales, and webbed feet between their fingers and toes.

These murlocs come from a tribe of murlocs near the coast of Rainbow Bay.

When the Star Alliance first arrived in the bay to build a city, they happened to encounter this tribe of fishmen coming to plunder, so they sent out a company of golems to defeat them.

They even chased them directly to their lair, scaring the fishmen so much that they immediately surrendered.

Although these fishmen only live in shallow sea areas, they are quite familiar with the Rainbow Sea, so Andrea accepted them.

The leader of the merman is a merman named Blue Scale, who is now diligently introducing information about the Rainbow Sea to everyone.

"There are many poisonous species in the Rainbow Sea. Almost one-fifth of the fish are poisonous. You have to carefully identify them before eating them."

"But most non-poisonous fish are delicious. They taste great when boiled in soup, grilled, or eaten raw. If you want to try some, just tell me. I'm not bragging, but my cooking skills are pretty good."

As the fishman spoke, a flattering smile appeared on his face, with a servile and fawning look.

But it had heard that the people in front of it were more powerful than City Lord Andrea. If it could make them happy, they might be able to promote it to be the patriarch.

Hearing a fishman volunteer to cook sea fish, Sherman and Fleming looked a little strange.

"Ahem." Xie Man coughed lightly. "Don't say anything extra. Let me ask you, what are the more powerful sea monsters in this sea?"

The fishman scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Sir, to us fishmen, sea monsters are very powerful."

"."

Sherman finally reacted and realized that he had asked the wrong person which sea monsters were more powerful when even the knights couldn't defeat the murloc.

He turned to look at Andrea, who thought for a moment and said, "There are basically no powerful sea monsters in the shallow sea area, but there are many in the deep sea area, such as ichthyosaurs, dragon whales, megalodon sharks, mosasaurs, squid kings, and deep-sea jellyfish."

Andrea listed dozens of sea monsters in one breath, and then added solemnly:

"These sea monsters have the power of second and third ring legendary level. If you encounter them, try to avoid fighting if possible."

A second or third ring legendary monster on land might not be a big deal, but in the sea, it would be a real headache.

Without a power that is one or two levels higher, it is impossible to deal with these sea monsters.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the deck.

But it was Tatjana who caught a monster from the sea.

This strange creature looks like a giant multi-legged freshwater lobster. It is 1.5 meters tall and 3 meters long. Its shell is blue-green and extremely strong. Its small eyes never blink, its two huge claws are thick and powerful, and its lower limbs are relatively sturdy.

Even though it was imprisoned in mid-air by the wizard's hand, it still screamed loudly, struggled wildly, and waved its huge claws, looking full of aggressiveness.

"This is a lobster man, his IQ is very low, about the same as a domestic dog."

Andrea came to Tatjana and Atil who were looking at the lobster man curiously, and explained softly:
"They are very aggressive, but their combat effectiveness is very weak. An experienced trainee knight can easily defeat a lobster man."

Lan Lin came over, looked at the lobster man, swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "My lords, the meat of the lobster man is very delicious. Why don't you hand this lobster man to me and I will cook some delicious food for you lords."

Xie Man and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment and finally refused.

After all, lobster people are an intelligent race, and they are humanoid creatures. It really makes people feel uncomfortable to eat their meat.

Tatjana, on the other hand, was very interested in this.

The dark elf didn't care about that. She was very curious about the difference between the taste of lobster people and ordinary lobsters.

However, seeing that Atil and others had refused, she had to give up the idea.

Andrea said: "Lobster people usually live at the junction of shallow sea and deep sea areas. Since we have encountered lobster people, it means that we will soon enter the deep sea area."

"We are likely to encounter deep-sea Nagas and sirens next, so we have to be careful."

Hearing this, Xie Man and the others put away their playful thoughts and nodded solemnly.

After entering the deep sea area, the number of sea monsters increases significantly.

From time to time along the way, you can see sea monsters fighting each other. Large amounts of blood dye the nearby sea surface red, and then more predators are attracted, gradually developing into a big melee.

According to Andrea, similar battles are common in deep sea areas.

If you encounter this situation, it is best to move away immediately, otherwise you will easily be dragged into the melee.

Occasionally, sea monsters would attack the ships, but they were quickly dealt with by Sherman and others.

With two third-level wizard apprentices, there was no need to worry as long as they didn't encounter a three-ring legendary sea monster. And considering the danger of this operation, Sherman and Corey brought a lot of high-level rune gems.

Even if something unexpected happens, it is not difficult to get out.

Andrea exclaimed: "With you guys here, this voyage is a lot easier."

"How did you deal with sea monsters in the past?" Fleming asked curiously.

"All of them were solved by golems enchanted with levitation." Andrea was a little helpless, "But golems are too heavy, and they must be enchanted with levitation to be carried on board. Even so, the number of golems a ship can carry is very limited."

Xie Man and the others all showed understanding expressions.

Golems weigh more than ten or twenty tons and are so huge that ordinary ships cannot accommodate several of them.

Even if all of them were transformed into platinum golems, the ship's combat power would be very limited. If it encountered a slightly larger number of sea monsters, it would have no choice but to flee.

Sometimes even escape is a luxury.

It is no wonder that the exploration and expansion of the Rainbow Sea has not made much progress.

"Don't worry, City Lord Andrea." Sherman smiled slightly. "The academy has already developed a stronger and larger magic ship. In addition, there are special puppets dedicated to underwater operations. They will be mass-produced and deployed here soon. By then, we will have the power to march into the deep sea."

Andrea looked delighted: "That's great!"

God have mercy on her. She has suffered a lot from the deep-sea nagas and sirens in recent years. She has long wanted to deal with those damn guys!
At this moment, a warning sounded suddenly from the lookout above the deck.

"About two thousand meters ahead, deep-sea Nagas and Sirens have been spotted!"

Andrea's face changed slightly, and she immediately came to the edge of the deck, took the telescope handed to her by her subordinates, and looked into the distance.

Sherman and his group directly activated the sharp-eye earrings on their ears. A blue light flashed in their eyes, and their vision instantly zoomed in, landing on the sea two thousand meters away.

A fierce battle is taking place on the vast sea.

On one side was a humanoid creature with a lower body like a giant snake and covered in scales. It looked somewhat similar to the sphinx noble, but had sea blue scales and webbed feet.

"Deep Sea Naga!"

Although he had never seen them in person, Fleming immediately recognized the origins of these humanoid creatures.

It looked very similar to the pictures he had seen in books.

His gaze then turned to the other side of the battle.

They were a group of strong sirens riding headhunting sharks, and they were also humanoid creatures with long and narrow snake tails.

That's the Siren.

It is easy for people who don't know the two races to confuse them.

But in fact, there are significant differences between the two races.

The body of the deep-sea naga has evolved into the characteristics of fish, while the body of the siren, at least in the upper body, is almost the same as that of a human.

In addition, the deep-sea Naga is a race with both males and females, but there are only female Sirens, and their true race belongs to the Banshee species.

They are semi-undead creatures wandering on the sea, but the sea has given them new bodies.

There are not many Sirens, but most of them are very powerful.

They are proficient in illusion, have extremely beautiful appearances, possess deadly and beautiful singing voices, can dominate other marine species, and are quite dangerous.

It is worth mentioning that the Sirens were not born through mating, but were bred by the sea. They can barely be considered a kind of natural spirit, but they represent the evil part of the ocean.

Among the two warring parties, the Deep Sea Naga had the numerical advantage, almost twice as many as the Sirens, but in fact, the Sirens had the upper hand.

They held tridents in their hands, displayed superb fighting skills to fight against many enemies alone, and sang and performed illusions from time to time.

Even though it was two thousand meters away, I could still vaguely hear the beautiful and melodious singing.

Lan Lin, who was standing aside, looked dazed and subconsciously took a step to jump into the sea. After being awakened by a slap from Fleming, he immediately crawled into the cabin, covering his ears and daring not to listen to the songs anymore.

"How strange." A hint of surprise appeared on Atil's face. "The fighting skills displayed by those sirens seem to have some shadows of knights' fighting skills."

The girl turned and looked at Corey.

Among all the people present, Corey had the most profound attainments in knightly combat skills.

Apart from being a third-level wizard apprentice, he was also a junior great knight.

"It does have the shadow of knight's fighting skills, and it's very exquisite. It's not the common stuff out there. It's very likely from a famous master." Cole said with a frown.

Although the Sirens can also engage in close combat, they are limited by the development of civilization and cannot have the same sophisticated knightly combat skills as humans. Most of their combat techniques are straightforward.

The scene before them was somewhat different from the information they had learned about the Sirens from books.

"Not only that, did you notice?" Sheman suddenly asked, "Isn't the power of the Siren's song a little too strong?"

Everyone was startled, and then looked thoughtful.

After being reminded by Sheman, they suddenly realized that even though they were two thousand meters away, the song of the Siren could still affect this side and make Lan Lin fall into a state of loss of consciousness. The power was quite astonishing.

Either the information they read about the Sirens in the wizarding tomes was wrong, or there was something wrong with the Sirens themselves.

Sherman asked Andrea, "Are all sirens like this?"

Andrea shook her head and said, "We have actually discovered this problem. Before entering the deep sea area, we captured some shallow sea marine tribes and asked them about the Sirens. The information we got was different from the Sirens we actually encountered. We suspect that the Sirens may have gradually become like this in the last few decades."

"In the past, the deep-sea Naga were the most powerful intelligent race in the deep sea, and they always outclassed the Sirens. But in the past few decades, the Sirens have gradually outstripped the deep-sea Naga."

"From what I understand, in the last few major battles, the Deep Sea Nagas were defeated miserably by the Siren."

As if to confirm Andrea's words, the battle in the distance had already been decided.

Under the fierce attack of the Sirens, the deep-sea Nagas were defeated and fled in all directions, but they were soon caught up by the Sirens riding on headhunting sharks and stabbed to death with a halberd.

In the end, only a small number of deep-sea Nagas managed to escape.

After the battle ended, the group of sirens did not stop.

Accompanied by a low conch sound, the Siren turned around and rushed towards the ship riding on the headhunter shark.
