Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 359 Listening to the Voice of the Sea Beast

Su Lun had guessed before that there might be senior generals in the submarine who could not deal with it.

But it will not be high, at most [major general].

After all, there are many top generals at the "General Star" level in the Marfa Empire. Mechanical armors of that level are strategic resources, and they will hardly flow out of the country as a "dowry".

Moreover, the ostentation of the nobles has a set of fixed rules that have lasted for thousands of years, especially the royal family, the ostentation is also fixed.

The prince has the ostentation of a prince, and the princess has the ostentation of a princess.

In layman's terms, this thirteenth princess, Skadi Harris, is not eligible to be dowry by a senior general of the [Lieutenant General] level.

Su Lun expected this, and that's how the plan is now.

The original plan was that if it was a "brigadier general", it would be killed.

If it is "major general", it is probably about to retreat.

Although Qiantiao has entered the Sword Saint Realm, and his swordsmanship is exquisite, he is only fifth rank after all. If you really want to fight, the strength gap of the big rank is not so easy to erase.

Moreover, mechanical armor is the nemesis of swordsman professionals.

Just like right now.

Qianjo entered the venue and directly resisted the major-general-level officer with a domineering attitude.

But even though the sword qi was sharp, it could cut out 100 meters of sword qi on the sea surface, and even cut off the waves, and landed on the set of [major-general-level magic blade X1 mechanical battle armor], but there was hardly any slashing marks left.

There is a layer of ablation barrier on the surface of this mechanical armor, which can dissolve all energy attacks visible to the naked eye.

The magic lava whip in the hand of the mecha is also extremely sharp, and the mechanical octopus can be crippled with a single whip, not to mention the flesh and blood of human beings?

Moreover, this [major general] battle armor is not as clumsy as low-level armor, the magic power system has almost no pause time for charging, the action gap is extremely short, and it is very agile. Even the slight stiffness that no mechanical device can eliminate is enough to make up for it with super defensive and offensive capabilities.

The super defensive advantage of mechanical armor is here.

It can be beaten for a long time, but don't let it touch you.

Go down with a whip, hit into the soul with one blow.

Qianjo can face the hard steel armor, but he has to dodge the long whip.

Several face-to-face fights did not take the slightest advantage.

In the face of this kind of opponent, Su Lun did his best to besiege them together, but he had a chance to kill them, but it would take a long time.

It's a pity that the "Princess" and the Hachiko frigates are all nearby, and a protracted battle is not allowed at all.

Must withdraw first!

Su Lun looked at the fierce battle ahead, his eyes rolled, and he immediately had a plan.

Instead of helping Qiantiao, he controlled the mechanical octopus and headed towards the submarine!

Without the [major general] armor, for Su Lun, the other mechanical warriors are almost all controlled, which is a one-size-fits-all outcome.

Moreover, Su Lun's black scythe is also a great threat to submarines.

No matter how strong the steel plate armor is, it is one size fits all in the face of space cracks.

The "major general" also seemed to realize this.

After he watched Su Lun kill two of his subordinates again, he didn't dare to have any entanglement, and came directly to Su Lun, trying to restrain him. As soon as Qianjo entered the stadium, this guy also clearly realized that it would be difficult to protect himself with only one of their ships, and he didn't even want to keep people. Nothing could be done, and the submarine, which had been chopped a few times, was also ordered to dive quickly.

Su Lun squinted at the submerged submarine, which he was sure to sink.

He has space to move, and it is not difficult to catch up.

But the thought flashed in his mind, and it was replaced by another better plan.

Now even if it is sunk, he has no time to salvage it.

When the "Princess" came, they still had to evacuate.

Moreover, this submarine is a combat ship, not the "Secret Mechanical Research Institute".

Just getting such a submarine would not satisfy his appetite.

With a flash of thought, Su Lun watched the submarine dive into the sea, but instead of chasing it, he pretended to be unable to let go, and joined forces with Qianjo to fight against the "major general".

The low-level professionals could not fight this level of fighting, and Su Lun informed Dr. Banks to let the low-level crew in the sea go first. In the blink of an eye, the battle on the sea was left with only "adversaries".

To deal with the mechanical warriors, Su Lun didn't plan to consume his few puppets.

He took out the black rune umbrella, and the double surgeons pinched it, and the dense red spiritual body rushed out with a crazy will. There are nearly 100,000 resentful spirits in the rune black umbrella, and these resentments can cause continuous attacks on the target.

Su Lun has personally experienced Black Flash's powerful "Necromancer Penetration", and he knows that even if this mechanical armor has an invigorating alloy, it can resist most mental attacks, and the persistent attacks of the resentful spirits will make the machine People in A are getting more and more affected.

Moreover, the resentful spirit is immune to all physical attacks, even that [Magic Hot Lava Python Blade] can't be hurt at all.

If you really want to consume it, once the "major general" is controlled by his mind and his reaction is a little slow, Su Lun can immediately kill it with a black sickle!

Su Lun also saw that this "major general" was trying to hold them back, waiting for the large army to come and kill them.

But where are they going to fight?

While fighting with Chijo, he led people into the depths of the storm.

That "major general" has been hanging far away. After testing, he also knew that Su Lun's attack range was limited, and the black umbrella's resentful spirit could cover a radius of several hundred meters. As long as you don't get close to that range, it won't be affected.

But they don't dare to fight in close quarters. How can they keep Su Lun, who is extremely capable of displacement on the sea surface?

With a little bit of blindfolding, he and Qianjo disappeared into the wind and waves.

Not long after, the "Dawn" in the storm.

Su Lun and Chijo jumped onto the deck.

As soon as I got on the boat, I heard Tani's voice suppress the sound of the rainstorm, and was instructing the sailors on the boat to control the sailboat.

"Left full rudder, let's surf the waves!"

"Yes, fix the sails, we're going to ride the storm, not let the storm blow us away!"

"Everyone is steady, we're going to surf!"

"."

On the deck, Lolota, the three giant brothers, the sumo wrestlers, and the swordsmen all pulled the ropes together, trying to make every order be executed accurately.

Their boat was in the center of the storm, where the waves were dozens of meters high, and the rain and waves washed over the hull and the crowd like a splash.

Such stormy waves are catastrophic weather that means death for most navigators.

When encountering this kind of climate at sea, there is usually only one ending, and that is "sinking"!

But under the command of Tani, the three-masted sailing ship "Dawn" not only sank, but surfed like a surf. Incredible sailing.

Even Su Lun was horrified.

He fixed himself on the deck with an eight-armed spider spear, but the center of gravity was constantly shifting as the hull tilted, tilting left, right, vertically and even almost upside down.

Being lifted up by the waves, or sprinting down from a high place, there is also the strong feeling of overweight and weightlessness of riding over a mountain.

It was the first time that Su Lun experienced such an exciting sailing experience.

Every time I always feel that the ship is about to be overturned by the storm, but at a critical juncture, it bizarrely rides the next huge wave.

As if they were not fighting a bad storm.

It is the child who is spoiled by the sea, surfing in the storm and enjoying the carnival.

The waves washed on the hull, and the sound of "crashing" could be heard incessantly.

The heavy rain soaked the two of them.

Thousands of blue hair on his forehead stuck to his face.

The battle just now left her a little unfinished, but she looked at the young man who was commanding passionately in the cockpit with admiration in her eyes, and said with emotion, "Su Lun, the navigator you found is very powerful."

"yes."

Su Lun's eyes were also bright, and his face was filled with relief.

Although he had expected it, but seeing it with his own eyes, the shock in his heart was no less than Qianjo.

When formulating the battle plan before, Su Lun shared some of his thoughts.

He asked Tani if ​​he could sail a seaboat in that extremely bad storm?

Tani said very firmly, yes.

Su Lun completely believed him and gave him the command of the ship.

At this moment, looking at the confidence in the eyes of the Naga mixed-race boy, Su Lun knew that his trust had been entrusted right.

Tani is definitely one of the best navigators in the entire pirate city of Hastelling, or in this azure sea.

Qianjo got the baby's excited expression on his face, and smiled: "Haha. From now on, he will be the chief navigator of our 'Dawn Regiment'!"

The ship was still shaking violently, and Tani said the storm could continue for hours.

In the vision shared by the black crow, the "Princess" at the end of the field of vision was nowhere to be seen.

Such a strong storm can sink a ship if you are not careful. Even if he wanted to ask for "Neuro-Mechanical Technology" again, the Jin Gui "Princess Frost Moon" probably didn't go after him so desperately.

And there may be submarines chasing in the sea, but Tani has already commanded the ship to keep a distance.

This is not "the hapless bastard cursed by the sea", the waves and storms will take care of him.

Where Tani is, the storm will follow.

A sea ship with waves and strong winds is like an arrow from the string. At this speed, even a submarine will not want to catch up.

The situation looks thrilling, but the most dangerous moment has actually passed.

The ship was piloted by Tani and the crew, and Chijo also stayed on the deck. Su Lun didn't need to worry, he walked into the captain's room.

Here, Dr. Banks, Banner "The Butcher" and some core cadres of the 19th Division have all been waiting for a while. Although most of the team members are still separated in the sea, this is the best result. Those who have been separated have prepared life-saving devices in advance. After the storm, they can be slowly picked up in this sea area.

Dr. Banks breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Su Lun come back safely.

Su Lun didn't ask anything else, and asked directly with expectation: "Doctor, are you marked?"

Dr. Banks smiled. "No problem. I've bio-marked that submarine. I can see the direction of their fleet no matter the distance."

Hearing this, Su Lun's face showed a look of joy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's not in vain now."

Su Lun actually had a chance to sink the submarine before, but he didn't.

In fact, it is to lay a long line and catch a big fish.

And the reason why this tactic can succeed is related to an ability of Dr. Banks. He can mark objects with [Eternal Cells]. Then as a "maternal", he can sense the exact location of those cells.

Conventional magic marks, or other equipment marks, are easy to find and remove in the military field.

And this biological biomarker is very secretive, like the microorganisms attached to the hull of the ship, and it will not be detected at all.

In this way, Su Lun and the others can always grasp the position of the escaped submarine.

If the "Secret Mechanical Research Institute" is also in a submarine, as Su Lun guessed, then such an important base must have escorts.

The target of surface ships is too large, and submarines are the best choice.

These submarines were brought from the Marfa Empire, and "Princess Frostmoon" Skadi would definitely not have too many.

So there is a high probability that they will be together.

As long as the location can be determined, and when Su Lun's octopus army is formed, the success rate will be very high when they go to kill them next time!

Finally, two hours later, the waves subsided.

The sun pierced through the dark clouds and shone on the deck.

The storm washed over the hull and it looked brand new and shiny.

Su Lun led Dr. Banks and his party onto the deck.

When everyone saw him, they greeted him.

At this time, Tani also jumped off the mast, landed on the deck, and greeted: "Mr. Su Lun!"

Su Lun looked at the biggest hero of this operation and smiled: "Tani, you've worked hard. Your navigation skills are really good."

"not bad"

Hearing being praised, Tani turned his head around in a sullen way. But in those clear pale blue eyes, there was a radiance of encouragement.

It wasn't his first time sailing a boat, but it was the only time he was so happy.

With such a huge ship, everyone believed in him and listened to his command. No one looked down on him because he was "the unfortunate man cursed by the sea"; and no one looked down on him because he looked immature.

He felt a strong sense of being trusted!

Tani's thoughts were wandering, and Qianjo on the side also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tani, you are very good. From now on, you will be the navigator of our dawn regiment!"

As soon as Qianjo opened his mouth, he also officially recognized his identity as a new crew member.

Hearing this, the crew on the ship also cheered and praised one after another, welcoming the new member.

"Welcome to our new member, an excellent navigator!"

"Oh, I can't believe we just sailed out of such a catastrophic storm 'intact'! Hahaha."

"Tani is the best navigator I've ever seen!"

"Yeah. Really great!"

"."

The crew was not stingy with their words of praise.

Tani looked at the smiling faces full of kindness like family members, and there was a deep warmth in his heart. His eyes warmed, and he responded excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Su Lun, thank you, Sister Qianjo, thank you all."

He came to Pirate City when he was very young. Because he is a hybrid of a sea monster and a human, he has always been discriminated against and excluded from people.

Because of his special physique, he is also called "the hapless man cursed by the sea".

Before his mother could speak, she told him to live well, and that fate would favor everyone who faces life positively.

So, he has been working hard to live.

Even if the mother has been completely petrified, she has not spoken for many years.

He also remembered his mother's words firmly.

Always try to face life with positivity and optimism.

He earns money while earnestly learning about sailing.

His dream is that one day, there will be his own partners, driving their own sea boats, to explore every corner of this sea.

Tani thought about it, and suddenly tears filled his eyes, and they couldn't stop flowing.

He had never met such an easy-going person before, everyone was full of kindness, and for the first time he experienced respect and equality.

That kind of feeling is wonderful, just like seeing the sunshine after the storm in front of you, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.

Instead of the intrigue, depression, and darkness in the pirate city.

At this moment, he saw the beauty of the world.

Children from poor families can be easily satisfied with a little happiness.

He thought about it, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Tani burst into tears, Lolota handed a handkerchief and smiled playfully, "Here it is for you. Our crying Mr. Navigator."

"Thank you, Miss Lolotta."

Tani took it and smiled shyly, because there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and he looked very funny.

Qianjo couldn't help laughing too, smiled, and then introduced: "This is Mr. Banner. Many people on board should know the old Lington Steam Party. Now, he and his members are also part of our Dawn Group. staff!"

After saying this, the ship immediately became lively.

"Wow. Welcome old friends of the Steam Party."

"."

Most of the members of the Steam Party and the Cross Society are cadre-level experts, and many of them know each other. Meeting on this boat, there is a feeling of "meeting old friends in a foreign land". As soon as they introduced each other, the big guy didn't see anything outside.

Chijo did not introduce Dr. Banks, which is what the doctor himself meant.

Even if he joins the "Dawn Mission" now, he doesn't want to be known to exist, and he can just do scientific research silently.

This escape plan was perfect.

Almost every detail is as Su Lun expected.

Now what they have to do is to follow the biological markers and distress signals left by Dr. Banks, and slowly salvage the crew who were scattered at sea before.

Now the weather is calm and the sea ships are not rushing on the sea.

The sky returned to clear and cloudless.

On the sea, the "Princess" fleet has completely disappeared, and the previous tense atmosphere has completely dissipated.

Chijo is blowing the sea breeze on the mast, Dr. Banks is tinkering with his lab in the cabin, Lolota is practicing his sword as hard as ever, and Banner and his brothers are trying to fit into the new team.

There are some new members of the Dawn regiment, and everyone is very happy.

Su Lun basked in the sun on the deck, enjoying a rare leisure time.

But suddenly, Tani jumped off the mast.

With a puzzled expression on his face, he said, "Mr. Su Lun, I found something and I want to report it to you."

Su Lun looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tani frowned and said, "There seems to be something very strange in the water."

Su Lun was a little puzzled when he heard this, and instinctively asked, "Is there something strange in the water?"

Hearing this, the others on the boat also looked over.

"Um."

Tani hesitated for a moment, as if remembering some unpleasant memory.

Seeing everyone's benevolent, suspicious eyes, he mustered up his courage and said, "Just now, the fish discovered that there are very strange things in the sea."

Hearing this, Su Lun was very surprised: "Can you communicate with Yu'er?"

"Um!"

Tani nodded and said, "I could understand small animals when I was a child, but I didn't always hear them. Uh, now, I seem to be able to hear them all the time."

He discovered that he had this ability before, and others said it.

But that ability comes and goes, and it cannot be controlled at will. When I wanted to prove it, I couldn't hear it, and I was laughed at mercilessly.

After that, he never mentioned it again.

"Oh."

Su Lun realized that this might be an innate ability.

It's a bit like [Talent C-021-Beast Whisperer].

When people are in big ups and downs, or when there is a big change in their mood, it is easy to awaken their talents.

But Su Lun wasn't sure it was Tani's talent.

Because he can passively attract storms.

That is the gift of the naga, the darling of the sea and the storm.

However, Su Lun was more curious than finding out about this problem.

"What's in it?" he asked.

Tani took his thoughts and tried to describe it: "Well, it has been there before. It seems to be 'eel', 'multi-tailed sea snake', 'octopus', or some other tentacled sea creature. But 'they' It shouldn't be in this sea, and it seems to be following us now."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes instantly froze.

Studies have shown that the perception ability of marine creatures is actually very strong, and some aspects are even stronger by human perception professionals. When something unfamiliar comes to a sea area, the fish will know it immediately.

Tani didn't know what that was, but Su Lun did.

He listened to the description and immediately realized that there are other mechanical octopuses on the bottom of the sea!

Su Lun asked, "How much of that stuff is there?"

Tani said: "At least dozens."

"so much?"

Su Lun listened, not only not worried, but happy in his eyes.

The dowry submarine of the "Princess Frostmoon" was not caught. Is Archduke Raphael going to compensate him for some mechanical octopus?
