NOVEL NEXT Chapter 273 Rare Trophies
Only the five huge tentacles of the Hundred-Eyed Starfish were seen, three of which had been covered with bruises by the alchemy depth bombs. Although they were not broken, many bloody wounds were bleeding out of light blue blood.
"Come forward with the melee team and others and buy the gunners time!" Captain Balorik shouted.
After the group of artillerymen experienced the last battle with the shark monster, they once again saw the huge extraordinary ocean creature like the hundred-eyed starfish. They all felt that they could fight the sea monster with the salvos of multiple artillery!
Therefore, under the command of Captain Baloric, when the Hundred-Eyed Starfish climbed onto the deck, the melee team members and many sailors picked up various weapons and began to attack the opponent. They did not expect to cause much damage to it, but they wanted to Focus the hundred-eyed starfish’s attention here.
However, in the face of the siege of everyone, with a wave of the giant starfish's giant touch, four or five sailors were unable to dodge and were directly knocked back seven to eight meters!
It looked like he wouldn't survive!
But the melee team members are not afraid! Under the leadership of the orc Otombo, they bravely attacked the Hundred-Eyed Starfish.
It's a pity that the difference in strength is too big, and the results are very few. They just add a few more blood marks on the huge body of Baimu Starfish!
However, their bravery was not in vain, buying time for the gunners at the rear. Dozens of elite gunners at the rear of the deck were slowly pushing out nearly ten of the largest caliber artillery pieces and loading them quickly.
"Pfft!"
A black beam of light shot out from Richard's fingertips, instantly piercing through the body of Baimu Haixing!
However, a strong single-target attack like the death ray would not be enough to kill the starfish if it did not hit its brain or other vital points due to its huge size.
Under the siege of everyone, Hundred Eyes Starfish became more and more violent.
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was settled, suddenly!
I saw hundreds of black eyes on the Hundred-Eyed Starfish suddenly flashing, and suddenly, the entire battle scene suddenly came to a standstill!
All of a sudden, all the gunners, sailors, and melee team members on the deck within a few dozen meters of the Hundred Eyes Starfish, including the orc first mate Otombo, stood stunned on the spot.
The next second, a huge spiritual storm, centered on the Hundred-Eyed Starfish, raged in all directions!
"Roar!!"
Accompanied by this invisible spiritual storm, the crew members approaching the Hundred-Eyed Starfish all had ferocious expressions on their faces, as if they were competing with something for dominance over their bodies!
Both eyeballs turned upward, revealing the big whites of the eyes. After a few seconds, the whole person seemed to have lost its soul and began to walk towards the huge and ferocious mouthparts of the Hundred-Eyed Starfish.
Such a weird scene can't help but make people take a breath!
At this time, the only ones left who could fully withstand the impact of the Hundred-Eyed Starfish's mental storm were Richard and Stepina.
As a formal wizard, with mental power far beyond that of ordinary people, it is not difficult to withstand the attack of this kind of range-type mental storm!
Captain Baloric seemed to be far enough away that he was not yet under control at this time. He just held his head and squatted on the ground wailing. All the elite artillerymen staggered and fell.
A total of ten 24-pound guns were left unmanned.
Captain Baloric's originally very confident plan to attack sea monsters with artillery was completely in vain! !
When Richard and Stephanie saw this scene, they knew that they had to take action with all their strength. Facing this extraordinary sea creature, no matter how well the ordinary people cooperate and no matter how well-equipped they are, if they are not careful with one move, everything will be lost. .
Ordinary people who want to fight sea monsters have a chance, but the error tolerance is too low.
A light green light flashed, and a huge resentful spirit of hatred rushed toward the Hundred-Eyed Starfish with long strides. On the other side, the blood and bone puppet moved faster, attacking the Hundred-Eyed Starfish from the side.
However, the mind-controlled sailors suddenly changed their direction of action and surrounded the resentful abominations and blood-bone puppets.
Richard immediately gave an order to kick these sailors away, but not to launch fatal attacks.
After all, these are the precious crew members of the Queen, and they have experienced several battles, and those who survived are all elites.
Seeing the Hundred-Eyed Starfish shamelessly using the elite crew members on the Princess as body shields, Richard couldn't help but frown!
If the Wraith Abomination and the Blood and Bone Puppet are not allowed to approach, it will be difficult to cause enough damage to the huge Hundred-Eyed Starfish with just his and Stephana's witchcraft attacks.
However, soon, Richard had a sudden idea, and a clever trick flashed through his mind. He turned around and went to the artillery position, and directly picked up two 24-pound cannons.
For an ordinary human being, it would take seven or eight strong men to lift a one-ton artillery piece, but for the Wraith Abomination, his arms as thick as buckets could immediately lift the heavy artillery barrel on top of it. On the extremely thick shoulders.
The Wraith Abomination, which weighed several tons, now became the base of these two artillery pieces.
Richard waved his hands, and saw the mimetic metal on his wristband suddenly flew out quickly and landed on the shoulders of Wraith Abomination, isolating the cannon from Wraith Abomination's head.
Prevent the roar of artillery from shocking the hateful brains of the wraiths.
At this time, several pairs of small hands on the back of Wraith Abomination began to load cannonballs. Richard gently snapped his fingers, and the fuses of the two artillery pieces were instantly ignited by flames.
"Boo!"
The next second, the roar of artillery sounded!
The gunpowder improved by Richard has been further improved in power. In addition, the most important thing is that the artillery blasts are not ordinary solid iron bullets, but chain bullets in which two iron bullets are hinged together with an iron chain.
Similar to a heavy boomerang, it can cause enough damage to giant creatures.
"Bang!"
"Snapped!"
I saw Hundred-Eyed Starfish let out a roar. This roar clearly contained the kind of incompetent rage after being severely injured. It had no other effect except giving everyone a headache!
However, the sight of the four-meter-tall and several-ton Wraith Abomination, carrying two heavy artillery pieces on its shoulders, bombarding hundreds of starfish, shocked almost everyone on the ship, except for Richard!
Stephana's beautiful eyes widened, and she was stunned on the sidelines!
Stephana admired Richard's unconstrained ideas from the bottom of her heart!
Captain Baloric, at this time, seemed to be stunned, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded! !
He never thought that summoned objects could be used in this way!
He looked at the tall resentful spirit Abomination, and then looked at the cannon. How did Master Richard think that Abomination and cannons could be combined together?
In fact, Richard's idea is not completely unreasonable, but there are still some references.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that Richard is referring to the puppetry of the gray dwarves in the Underdark. Don't forget, Richard is the puppet master!
When the gray dwarves make high-level puppets, such as extremely tall combat puppets like War Colossi, some War Colossi will have a magic crystal cannon installed on their backs.
The shape can be said to be similar to the current resentment spirit!
Of course, the size of the War Colossus is even more exaggerated, reaching more than ten meters, while the Abomination is only over four meters, nearly twice the size.
But similarly, the opponent's magic crystal cannon is far more powerful than the cannon on the Queen's ship!
After the abomination was launched, the arms on the back of its hands were responsible for cleaning and loading it.
Judging from the overall smoothness, it is actually faster than five elite artillerymen.
Therefore, under the continuous blows from the shoulder-mounted cannon of the resentful spirit, the Hundred-Eyed Starfish could no longer withstand it. More than ten washbasin-sized holes had been frozen through its body. No matter how big it was and how much blood it had, I can’t help being attacked like this!
The Hundred-Eyed Starfish threw all the crew members under its control towards the Wraith Abomination, while it quickly turned around and planned to jump into the sea to escape.
But how could Richard let it go as he wished, killing so many of his crew members, and now that he couldn't defeat him, he just wanted to leave?
How could anything be so cheap!
Just when the Hundred-Eyed Starfish was about to escape, the Resentful Spirit Abomination fired the two heavy cannons on its shoulders, and then threw three iron chains directly at it!
The iron chain with the hook tightly wrapped around the huge body of the Hundred-Eyed Starfish. In terms of strength, there was not much difference between the Wraith Abomination and the Hundred-Eyed Starfish, especially when the other party was still seriously injured.
This instantly ruined Hundred-Eyed Starfish's escape plan!
"Whoosh!"
At this time, the Blood Bone Puppet attacked from the side at high speed. As soon as it got close to the Hundred-Eyed Starfish, it released the Bone Blade Storm. Immediately, the body of the Hundred-Eyed Starfish was already torn to pieces, and then suffered heavy injuries, with blood splattering everywhere!
One tentacle was directly twisted into pulp by the high-speed cutting bone blade.
After a while, after hearing a mournful cry from the hundred-eyed starfish, he lay on the ground and never moved again!
The entire deck of the Queen was filled with a strong smell of sea and blood!
At this time, a large number of close combat team members and sailors who had escaped from the mental control of Hundred Eyes Starfish looked at each other in confusion.
They clearly remembered that they were fighting fiercely with the Hundred-Eyed Starfish before, but they suddenly lost consciousness. When they woke up again, the Hundred-Eyed Starfish had been successfully killed!
But that didn't stop them from cheering loudly again!
"Won!!"
"."
Captain Baloric came to Richard and saluted respectfully: "Sir Richard, you once again saved the entire ship!"
"By the way, sir, regarding the Hundred-Eyed Starfish, I once heard a wizard talk about it. It seems that the brain in the Hundred-Eyed Starfish has a special effect of improving mental power if taken directly!"
"Of course, I was just passing by and heard it from a distance. Therefore, I am not sure whether the so-called hundred-eye starfish brain needs to be modulated or eaten raw."
Richard raised his eyebrows, Captain Baloric's words interested him.
At the same time, he asked Captain Baloric to recount the encounter with the wizard again.
"Sir, that was my experience when I was young and joined the whaling team. At that time, I was working on a whaling ship. One day, a mysterious man came and asked the captain to rent the whaling ship for three months. The purpose of using it is to find hundred-eyed starfish.”
"But unfortunately, after three months of searching, we were unable to find the Hundred-Eyed Starfish. At this time, the wizard seemed to be very sorry that he had not been able to find the Hundred-Eyed Starfish. I also accidentally found it. I heard him say something to himself when he sighed.”
While Captain Baloric was telling the story, the Blood and Bone Puppet came to Richard holding a ball of white jelly-like stuff in his hand.
Huh! Richard couldn't help but look sideways.
Because this white jelly is obviously different from other parts of the starfish. If this is really the brain of the starfish, it would be really amazing, because the white jelly is exuding a faint fragrance.
Unlike ordinary starfish parts, they have a strong smell of sea!
As for this special substance that might be directly edible, Richard thought about it, cut a piece of it and fed it to the seabirds circling in the sky.
I saw a seagull's eyes immediately brightened up after eating. After chirping a few times, it continued to hover above Richard's head. It was self-evident that it wanted to eat again!
Since it proved to be non-toxic, Richard boldly cut a small slice and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, a very special feeling began to spread from Richard's mouth!
tasty!
With some sweetness!
An indescribable taste!
A few seconds later, a strange heat began to gather from the body into the spiritual sea!
Richard clearly felt a slight improvement in his mental power, but it was not enough to be displayed on the panel.
So, Richard swallowed it continuously.
After eating nearly half a fist-sized piece of white jelly, if Richard took it again, the strange fever and flu would be minimal.
He knew that he had become resistant to the drug in the brain of this hundred-eyed starfish, and repeated administration would have no effect.
At this time, Richard called up the inspiration panel and took a look:
【Name】: Richard Clavell
[Attributes]: Strength 12.1, Agility 13.3, Constitution 12.6, Spirit 74.5 (Atomization 69%)
The mental strength that has not been improved for a long time has increased by about ten points, and the atomization level has also increased from the original 62% to 69%. The effect is not unnoticeable!
And Richard can clearly feel that this kind of growth will continue for a while. Although the overall growth rate is only about 1%, at Richard's current level, every 1% will take a lot of time.
Richard really didn't expect that after killing the Hundred-Eyed Starfish, he would get this unexpected reward.
Sure enough, the vast ocean contains countless mysteries and is a real treasure house!
"Stephanna, try it?"
"Okay, Master!" Stephanna, who was originally very resistant to the white jelly taken out of the brain of the hundred-eyed starfish, saw her master eating it happily.
The conflict in my heart has improved a lot.
In addition, this white jelly does not have a special smell but has a refreshing fragrance. This is one of the reasons why Stephana dared to try it.
Richard immediately gave the remaining half of the Hundred Eyes Starfish brain to Stephana.
After Stephana tried a small piece, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed, and she couldn't help but praise: "Master, I didn't expect it to taste like this! The taste is almost as delicious as golden horned frog eggs!"
"And the effect can really improve your mental strength!"
