Chapter 178 Encountering a legend by chance, overall quality 3.0!
“Ship, Captain! The volcano...the volcano has erupted!”
On the deck, Joey stared blankly at the island not far away, his eyes full of shock.
Such a massive and terrifying natural disaster, of course, cannot be hidden from Xia En and his party.
On top of the island, I saw magma rushing into the sky with billowing black smoke, reaching a height of two to three hundred meters, which was extremely spectacular.
The sky seemed to be torn apart.
Seeing this scene, Xia En frowned slightly and looked serious.
He knew that there were volcanic islands nearby. After all, the volcanic ash in the [Emerald Ancient City] could not have come out of thin air.
“But why is it such a coincidence that it happened just when we were about to leave?”
Xia En glanced at Yan Yan, who was next to Fei Ya not far away.
After half a month of cultivation, Yan Yan has grown back a complete body from a head by virtue of his exaggerated self-healing power.
Aware of Xia En's gaze, Yan Yan raised his head and showed a sunny and innocent smile.
Like a big golden retriever dog.
Shaan: “…”
How long has it been since you could still smile so brightly?
As expected of you!
To be honest, Xia En couldn't confirm whether this volcanic eruption had anything to do with Yan Yan leaving this sea area.
Perhaps this is the effect brought about by [the blessing of the sea]?
But now, it is obviously not the time to think deeply.
In the sky not far away.
The cooled rocks fell like rain, creating a terrifying rain of rocks. When these rocks fell, they were astonishingly powerful, like falling comets, trailing long tails of fire.
Not only that.
The howling and surging wind also began to spread the thick black smoke to the sea.
There was a burning smell in the air.
Xia En could feel that the [Storm Power] in his body was about to move.
The chaotic magic patterns on the body's surface light up slightly, seeming to echo the mysterious power spreading all around.
This is not just a volcanic eruption, but also a storm carrying the secret power of the embers!
In this case, as a [Storm Raider], how could Xia En miss this gluttonous feast?
Thinking of this, Xia En immediately ordered.
“Everyone except Yan Yan, go to the [Diamond Star] and sail away from this sea area as quickly as possible!”
Joy couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Captain, what about you?"
Xia En turned his head and looked at the approaching black clouds not far away, with a smile on his lips.
“I want to taste the taste of this storm myself!”
…
…
Not long.
[Diamond Star] drifted farther and farther on the sea, and soon sailed into safer waters.
The [Black Swan] remained not far or near from the ember storm, quietly waiting for its arrival.
Compared with the pitch-black and fiery black cloud, the hull of the [Black Swan] looked extremely small, as if it was about to be completely swallowed up.
Looking at this scene, Tracy, who was standing on An's shoulder, looked worried.
“Captain Shane, is it really okay?”
“This storm is probably not an ordinary danger!”
Perhaps because she is an elf, Tracey showed an unusual affection for this strange man wrapped in armor.
During the past half month, Tracey was almost stuck to An's body, almost inseparable, which made Joey a little jealous.
—She also wants to raise a little fairy like this!
At this time, after hearing Tracy's words, An reached out his hand and gently stroked her little head to soothe her emotions.
Besides, Joey chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Captain never does anything he's not sure about."
"But…"
Tracy wanted to say something more, but after looking at the others, she suddenly realized—
Whether it was the boy who was prettier than herself or the little dragon that made her instinctively uneasy, neither of them showed any worry.
just like…
All the crew members on this ship have a strong and blind faith in Sean.
Tracey couldn't help but muttered in her heart.
“What a bunch of weirdos.”
“Both the captain and the crew are weird!”
But at this moment, Tracey forgot that she herself was already one of the captain's crew.
…
…
at the same time.
Not far from this sea area.
A steel battleship with iron-gray paint, rigid lines, and a towering bow is breaking through the ice and moving slowly forward on the [Cold Sea].
This battleship is larger than any ship that Shane has ever seen or heard of, and even reached the level of an "aircraft carrier" in the previous life.
On the coating that is as cold as metal, the [Star Wave] logo with stars and waves coexisting is clearly drawn.
This means that this ship belongs to the Federal Navy!
No one knows why the federal navy's warships appear here.
But obviously, it did not come to destroy a pirate ship that had disappeared for a long time in the Seven Seas, but to carry out a secret mission.
At this time, the volcano erupting on the island not far away and the ember storm raging on the sea were naturally noticed by the secret travelers on the battleship at the first time.
“Colonel Gold!”
In a control room filled with precision instruments, a uniformed soldier pushed open the door and respectfully reported to the man sitting behind the table.
“Twenty nautical miles away from the [King], there is an active volcano erupting violently.”
“The magma and ash brought by the eruption merged with a strange sea breeze to form a storm.”
The colonel named Gord has short light brown hair and an unremarkable appearance. Only a pair of dark gray pupils can make people's eyes linger for a moment.
But no one dares to underestimate him, because he is the youngest colonel in the history of the federal navy!
“Strange sea breeze?”
asked Gold, catching the point in his subordinate's words.
“What kind of strange method?”
The subordinate replied: "This sea breeze does not seem to be naturally formed, and there are traces of mysterious power in it."
“Perhaps it’s a back-up method of some kind of secret technique.”
“Good observation skills.”
Görd smiled faintly: "However, it's not enough."
“Not only this storm, but also this volcanic eruption is all man-made.”
Hearing this, the subordinates couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "Even a volcanic eruption?"
“The power of the Mystic Path can really reach this level..."
He stopped before he finished speaking.
Because the Colonel Gold in front of him is a seventh-level mystic who can cause such a degree of disaster!
There is a huge dividing line between the Secret Pathers before the seventh level and the sixth level.
In more ancient times, people would call extraordinary people who had achieved the seventh level—
Legendary!
At this level, one person is worth an army, which can be called a living “natural disaster!”
Gord didn't know what his subordinate was thinking, but he just said it meaningfully.
“It seems that some shadows of history don’t want us to peek into the truth of the past.”
The subordinate lowered his head silently, not thinking about these incomprehensible words.
Gord didn’t take it seriously. He originally only said these words to himself.
But at this moment.
Two small moving dots on the radar screen in front of him attracted Gold's attention.
“It’s really strange that we can actually encounter two ships in this sea area?”
“Have they been identified?”
The subordinate shook his head: "Not yet, I will send a lookout to conduct observation." As he said that, he was about to walk out the door.
“Don’t bother, I’ll see for myself.”
Gede waved his hand and stopped his subordinate's movement.
next moment.
His dark gray eyes suddenly changed, and a mysterious six-pointed star array rotated in them.
Subsequently, two faint light screens were projected in front of him.
What is shown above is the scene of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] on the sea.
"Huh?"
Another clerk in the control room couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the two ships.
“Isn’t this ship the [Black Swan] that was rumored a while ago?”
“I heard that it sank in the [Insanity Islands], how could it appear here?”
Gede is young and has an approachable personality among the many officers, so the clerk dared to interrupt like a chat.
“[Black Swan]?”
Hearing this name, Gord had a playful smile on his face.
“I have also heard of this name, but now it seems that this captain is more courageous than I thought.”
Subordinates and clerks quickly understood the meaning of Gold's words.
On the light screen, I saw that the ship with the black swan carved on the bow was rushing towards the sky full of fire and black smoke in front of me without dodge.
“Is this guy crazy?”
The clerk's eyes widened and he said with complete incomprehension: "You want to drag the whole ship to bury him with him!?"
Gold reminded: "It's not that simple, take a closer look."
Hearing this, other people in the control room paid more attention and carefully observed the actions of the [Black Swan].
This ship, which seemed to be seeking death, quickly demonstrated agility and agility beyond everyone's expectations.
That’s right, it’s “healthy!”
It was as if the ship was no longer a dead thing, but a giant beast that moved freely on the sea, easily dodging the lava and rocks falling from the sky.
Occasionally, one or two hits that cannot be avoided will land on the rising invisible barrier, unable to cause any damage to the hull.
Given the size of this ship, such flexible movements can only be described as incredible.
However, how many ordinary people can work on the "King"?
Even clerks who seem to be ordinary and weak can be said to be well-informed.
This level of ability to control a ship is not particularly surprising to them.
Suddenly, an extremely huge rock slammed towards the [Black Swan] from a high place with an unstoppable force.
Huge shadow enveloped the entire ship.
The subordinate sighed inwardly, feeling that the [Black Swan] was about to come to an end.
But at this moment.
A thick, dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the bow of the [Black Swan] and collided with the boulder falling from above.
Even though the light curtain could not transmit the sound, everyone present seemed to hear a loud bang.
Immediately afterwards, the rock was torn apart under the beam, disintegrating into countless rubbles and falling into the sea water that was reddened by the firelight.
Ged couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful shot!"
Others in the control room were surprised by his praise.
The young colonel rarely expressed his appreciation so directly.
The soldier next to him also murmured: "At least a fourth-level blow, the power can even approach the fifth level!"
“And the timing and angle are all just right!”
“The firepower on that ship turned out to be so intense?”
However, what surprised everyone was not over yet.
They saw clearly—
As the Black Swan sailed in a storm filled with thick smoke and ashes, a mysterious force that could be caught with the naked eye gathered around the hull, as if attracted by a black hole.
On the surface of the ship's hull, dark red lines gradually appeared, flickering brightly and dimly.
It is both like the veins in the human body and the pipes that support the operation of machinery.
When anyone sees this change, they can understand that they are absorbing those secret powers and becoming stronger through it!
The clerk who had expressed doubts before suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
“Oh my God, it’s absorbing the power of the storm!”
“No wonder it wants to break into this storm, that’s why.”
Everyone's expressions changed subtly.
They have never seen this scene before!
Is there any ship that can absorb the power of a storm?
To be honest, when they heard the name [Black Swan], most people in the control room felt a little contempt in their hearts.
the reason is simple.
They are the Federation Navy!
This ship is the "King"!
What does it mean to be a pirate ship with some reputation?
But after seeing its performance in [Ember Storm] with their own eyes, their mentality has undergone subtle changes.
In any case, this ship has shown them extraordinary potential.
Some clerks began to secretly speculate on Colonel Gold's intention.
Do you hope to destroy this ship, or do you have other arrangements?
But at this time, Gord didn’t think much about it at all.
In fact, this is really just a coincidence.
He discovered these two ships nearby by coincidence. It was a coincidence that a junior knew the name "Black Swan" and he also used his secret ability to check it out.
It's that simple.
It is just the intention of the superiors, which will always be misinterpreted and interpreted by the people below.
Gord is used to this.
At this time, he slightly adjusted the angle of the light curtain, intending to take a look at the captain of the ship.
In the picture, a handsome, upright man is standing next to the steering wheel, facing the raging fire, rain and storm in front of him.
His face and arms also had a large number of dark red lines, making him look like a **** or demon.
This terrible ember storm was like a delicious meal to him.
At this moment, he is savoring and chewing carefully.
suddenly.
The captain raised his head and looked at the sky above.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the light curtain, staring at Gord in the control room.
For a moment, Gord was in a trance.
Through those eyes, countless illusions came one after another, and the sound of waves in the ears kept coming and going.
Moreover, a piece of dark sea water swallowed up his consciousness.
And in the deepest part of the sea, Gord seemed to see a deeply hidden, blue eye.
Soon, he remembered a sentence.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you!
next moment.
The light curtain suddenly split into pieces and turned into chaotic fluorescence.
Everyone around was shocked.
Even if it was only for a moment, this was the first time they saw a rude look on Gold's face.
…
…
the other side.
Xia En withdrew his gaze, touched his chin, and muttered to himself.
“I always feel like someone is spying on me.”
“Is it an illusion?”
He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on plundering the [Storm Power].
I don’t know how long it has been.
The numbers on the panel jump again.
