Chapter 10 - Crab squid and wind blade(1)

When Allen and Regiz ran to the deck, the deck was already full of passengers, and the screams were one after another. At the bow of the ship, several thick biological tentacles were waving in the air like steel whips. The thick exoskeletons did not affect the flexibility of the tentacles at all, and they beat the bow and deck again and again. If it weren't for its huge size and crab-like exoskeleton, it should be part of the squid no matter what. Allen knew at a glance that this big squid should be a shallow sea beast, a crab squid. The habitat of crabs and squids is distributed in the vast area of ​​Insolari. The tentacles have very strong rigidity and hardness, but the weakness lies in its unprotected head, which can almost be said to be dead at a touch, so this creature is uncomfortable For military use, the entire Sennobo island chain has abandoned the selection and domestication of crabs and squids. But generally speaking, the crab squid has never been so big. According to the tentacles of the exoskeleton, I am afraid that the main body under the water must be ten meters long, and a normal crab squid of one meter is considered a behemoth.

But after a few minutes, Allen felt that he wanted to keep things simple. As several tentacles whipped, again and again, the wooden hull whimpered and hoarse, and even outside the hull, the unique arcane runes of Biduhaz flashed purple light. The balance of the hull has shifted even more. The large ship of dozens of meters has tilted several degrees, not to mention that the violent turbulence has forced many passengers to return to the cabin. Those who are too late can only grab the surrounding things to prevent falls. Sailors are also cleaning the deck in an organized manner to prevent casualties on board.

It's nothing to be out of balance, but Aaron saw the faint purple on the bow, and his face turned black. The arcanists born in Biduhaz knew too well what this purple color meant, Biduhiz The arcane rune of the scorpion will emit such a light when it reaches critical pressure. If this big squid is allowed to go on like this, the ship will sink sooner or later.

"Arrayed! Lift the big shield in the front row, and throw the harpoon into the water in the back row! The head of the crab squid is very fragile, just stick it in! First mate! Where's the arcanist!"

"It was said to be seasick and vomited!"

"Fuck it! You bring a few people to carry him up!"

The captain stood on the plywood and personally directed the sailors to attack the crab squid. At the same time, he also asked the sailors to drive the passengers who were watching the fun back to the cabin. There was panic as far as he could see. Hearing that the arcanist hired on the ship was afraid to go. On the deck, the almost breathless seven orifices were smoking. Captain Nova has been in this business for more than ten years. He has encountered all kinds of aggressive sea beasts dozens of times at sea for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen such a big crab and squid. What's even more frightening is that the sailors threw countless spears and harpoons at the estimated head of the crab squid, but the attack didn't work at all. Instead, the exoskeleton tentacles beat more than one wave. And it was the ineffective attack, again and again, that lowered the morale of the sailors and made the situation on the deck worse.

Under the threat of a dry sailor and the first mate, the seasickness of the ship's arcanist finally healed, and he was carried on the deck like a chicken. However, the trembling look is simply insulting to the great reputation of the Arcanist. Captain Nova didn't have time to manage so much, grabbed the Arcanist's collar, and roared: "Where have you been before! Immediately put arcane spells on me, if my people die, you will be finished!" At the time, as an ordinary person, Captain Nova completely ignored the high social status of arcanists.

"You, you... let go first... even... I can't chant the spell..." I don't know if I was too scared or breathless, the Arcanist on the boat even said a complete sentence shivering. Captain Nova pushed hard and loosened the collar of the Arcanist, then took another look and reorganized the sailors to attack the crab squid.

Arcanist on board is not what everyone expected... disappointing. A spell was recited three or four times on and off, but the fireball that was released was embarrassed to say it was a fireball. It might be more appropriate to describe it as a spark. What's even more irritating is that this Martian was put directly into the sea! He heard a sudden sound and went off.

"Are you a fool? Set fireballs into the sea!" Before Captain Nova could get angry, the first mate beside the Arcanist couldn't hold back and greeted him with a punch. The one who paid a lot of money to keep the boat safe was the Such a thing, I am afraid that no one has such a good temper.

"Don't fight, don't fight! There's something to say... ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, the mighty crab squid made a piercing scream at the same time, and the exoskeleton of one tentacle was cut with a large hole by the wind blade. At a glance, the transparent soft tissue that had been tightly protected could be seen; the injury of the other tentacle. It looked even more terrifying. The middle of the tentacles was directly concentrated by the fireball, and the original bluish-orange exoskeleton was instantly scorched black.

A group of sailors turned back and saw two young men in mage robes standing behind them, it was Allen and Regis. At this time, Allen had a solemn expression on his face, while Regis was curious. It seemed that the crab squid in front of him was not an enemy but a pet, and the whirlwind on his palm was also beating again and again, and a second wind blade could be released at any time. The fireball released by Allen looked astonishingly injured, but he knew very well that the scorched black ball did not cause any substantial damage to the crab squid, but just burned its protective color, and it would grow back soon. On the contrary, it was Regiz's wind blade, which directly cut open the hard exoskeleton, and its power was evident. Regis was only fourteen years old. Such talent made Allen envious, and also made him judge the situation. a little more optimistically.
