Chapter 88 Dangers of the Sea

  Chapter 87

  On the balcony of the Anthem of the Seas' guest room, Rosen sat on a lounge chair, enjoying the sea breeze and the sun.

  In my ears are the sounds of waves and the chirping of seabirds. When the seabirds stop chirping, it means trouble is coming.

  There are no wild seabirds to be seen in the ocean today. Almost all wild seabirds have been polluted by ashes and turned into ash creatures.

  Only ships like Anthem of the Seas can disperse the ashes and leave some living space for seabirds.

  Compared with land, it is easier to see sunlight on the sea.

  Because the thickness of the ash on land reaches a thousand meters, only cities can disperse the thousand-meter-thick ash.

  But the ash on the sea is only a hundred meters thick at most, and a ship with more people on board is enough to disperse the ash.

  The difference between land and ocean is that most of the ash in the ocean has already been integrated into the surface layer of the sea.

  So even though the Principality of Chiying is an island country, marine fish is more expensive than meat.

  Because the ocean is covered with ashes, there are no sea fish and sea fish cannot be farmed. If you want to eat sea fish, you can only catch them in the spiritual realm where there is a sea.

  The weather at sea is changeable. It may be sunny one moment and rain heavily the next.

  Rosen felt the sunlight disappear, and when he opened his eyes he saw heavy rain falling from the sky.

  If it was just rain that fell, it would be fine. The key was that his extraordinary vision enhanced by his five senses allowed him to see the sea fish falling from the sky in the rainstorm. The eyes of these sea fish were gray, and their bodies were deformed to varying degrees.

  Just as Rosen was about to return to his room, the broadcast of Anthem of the Seas began.

  "Emergency notice... Emergency notice..."

  "A Sequence 5 supernatural creature called a fog whale has appeared on the route ahead of Anthem of the Seas. The fog whale's spray has caused a large number of ash creatures to descend along with heavy rain. The escort crew of Anthem of the Seas has gone to drive away the fog whale. All passengers, please return to your rooms immediately..."

  The repeated broadcast let Rosen, who had returned to the guest room, know what had happened.

  Fog whales are not easy to mess with. In the past, a Sequence 9 Fog Whale near Blackrock Harbor forced more than a dozen pirate ships to join forces to encircle and suppress it. Now, if this Sequence 5 Fog Whale actively attacks the Anthem of the Seas, the entire ship may sink.

  But it soon turned out that Rosen's worries were unnecessary.

  After the Anthem of the Seas cleaned up the ash creatures that fell from the sky, the entire ship was suddenly shrouded in white mist, then disappeared into the real sea water and entered the spiritual world, eventually moving dozens of nautical miles in the spiritual world before returning to reality.

  If Rosen had not been able to enter the spirit world through the divine territory, he would have had difficulty noticing that the Anthem of the Seas had intruded into the spirit world.

  It seemed that this ship was more powerful than he had imagined, but he instinctively felt that things were not over yet.

  Sure enough, not long after the Anthem of the Seas returned to the real waters, several pirate ships with skull and crossbones flags appeared from the ashes a thousand meters away. The moment these pirate ships appeared, the main guns on the bow had already locked onto the Anthem of the Seas and launched a round of salvos.

  The sea water around the Anthem of the Seas rose up like a living thing, forming walls of water to block the damage.

  Several knights riding griffins took off into the air and swooped down towards one of the pirate ships.

  Rosen thought a big battle would break out, but the fighting quickly subsided.

  Finally, Anthem of the Seas released a small cargo ship full of goods. Several pirate ships checked the items on the small cargo ship and turned around and left. How could several pirate ships, whose highest sequence was no more than 6, actually rob the Anthem of the Seas, which was at least 4?

  Rosen thought thoughtfully, fearing that the fog whale in front was not an accidental appearance.  

  Instead, it was deliberately led to the route of Anthem of the Seas by the pirate ships just now. It is true that Anthem of the Seas can defeat these pirate ships, but the delayed time and the noise made are enough to attract the Fog Whale to come and kill.

  Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Faced with the threat of Sequence 5 Mist Whale, the Anthem of the Seas had to compromise.

  However, things will not end so easily. Anthem of the Seas suffered such a huge loss, the Principality of Blazing Shadow will definitely find a way to retaliate. Those pirate ships dared to use the Fog Whale to threaten Anthem of the Seas to surrender, but they would not dare to do so without certain support.

  Seeing that nothing was wrong, Rosen turned on the TV to watch the videotape.

  The rooms on Anthem of the Seas are well-equipped, and the televisions and VCRs are both equipped with Sequence 9 alchemical artifacts.

  Many of these videotapes are from blockbusters shot by directors from the Blue Whale Kingdom.

  Watching this extraordinary sequence of videotapes can bring an immersive sense of reality. Through the movies stored in these videotapes, he can also learn more about the Blue Whale Kingdom. Rosen's small goal is to finish watching these movies before the end of the voyage.

  But after Rosen put away the videotape, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

  Because the gray mouse loves watching movies, he actually lay down in front of the window and looked out nervously.

  Gray Rat is the name of the ancestor of the Gray Rat People. His reaction at this moment immediately made Rosen's heart calm down and alert again.

  "What's going on?"

  Rosen walked to the gray mouse, looked out the window and asked vigilantly.

  "I still instinctively feel the danger."

  The gray mouse squeaked solemnly.

  Without any hesitation, Rosen put the gray mouse back into the divine beast pen and opened the mysterious study.

  He would not let the gray mouse enter the mysterious study, but he also trusted the gray mouse's feelings.

  A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Gray Rat was once a Sequence 3 demigod after all. Even though he has only recovered to Sequence 8 now, he still possesses some special methods beyond Sequence 8. Since he feels danger, then there is real danger.

  Rosen stood at the window of the mysterious study and looked out. He stood there for several hours in peace and quiet.

  However, just when he began to doubt whether Gray Squirrel was mistaken, the sea water around Anthem of the Seas suddenly began to collapse, and Anthem of the Seas began to spin in the sea and fell into a huge vortex that appeared out of nowhere.

  At this moment, a large number of octopus-like tentacles fell from the sky.

  The suction cups of these tentacles firmly attached to the Anthem of the Seas, and then Rosen saw the Anthem of the Seas rising vertically on the spot. After he released the God-Hunting Eye out of the window, he saw a giant octopus pulling the Anthem of the Seas into the air like a hot air balloon.

  However, the attack was not just a whirlpool. A huge shadow in the deep sea began to float to the surface.

  The God Hunter's Demon Eyes only saw a giant extraordinary life form similar to a jellyfish, with countless translucent tentacles emitting blue light in the sea water. Wherever it passed, the sea was frozen, and the Anthem of the Seas was frozen alive.

  The Hunter's Demon Eye shattered on the spot, and the glass of the guest room was also frozen and shattered at this time.

  If Rosen was still in the guest room at this time, he would have been frozen into an ice sculpture and his life would be in danger.

  As the Anthem of the Seas was taking heavy damage, the loud and passionate pirate war song suddenly echoed from the Anthem of the Seas to the surroundings.

  The blue sea giant stood up from the sea, lifted up the Anthem of the Seas with one hand and pulled the entire ship out of the sea, and reached into the sea with the other hand to grab the mysterious jellyfish in the frozen sea, but the mysterious jellyfish disappeared out of thin air like a phantom.
