Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Could it be that Kanriel... has other experts?

Novamp wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand; even he, usually so decisive, was now stammering.

"I...I'm not sure..."

"Then it's settled."

Luo Xiu smiled and made the final decision:

"That will put your mind at ease, won't it?"

"..."

Luo Xiu's last words struck a chord with Novanpu. He admitted that he had been quite flustered when he saw Luo Xiu's eerie smile. If Luo Xiu was willing to take the initiative, that would be the most reassuring way for him.

But after careful consideration, he felt it was completely unnecessary. If Luo Xiuzhen was a traitor, wouldn't it be better to just take action now?

He smiled bitterly:

"I'm sorry, I have absolutely no doubt about you."

"it's okay no problem."

Luo Xiu waved his hand dismissively and laughed:

"Let's settle on this. It'll be a good opportunity for you to get to know the strength of me and Lord Basil before you join the group."

In the end, Novamp agreed to it.

Seeing Luo Xiu's confident demeanor, he subconsciously felt that this might actually be possible.

Soon, Luo Xiu and Novamp arrived on the deck.

Most of the ferry's crew had already gathered here, and under Neptune's command, they began to activate the defensive magic array in a flurry of activity. The crew members on this ferry were all veterans, and although the situation was critical, they did not panic.

Meanwhile, the seeded players stood in the center of the deck, their discussions noisy and chaotic.

Some volunteered to step forward and stop the monsters, while others suggested observing for a while longer. Still others remained silent, but the unease in their eyes was obvious.

At this moment, the once bright sunshine in the sky has dimmed, and a huge cirrus cloud has covered the ferry and the surrounding sea. The clouds and mist are gray and swirling, as if a storm is about to break.

The surrounding dark sea was relatively calm at the moment, but this scene only made people more uneasy, as if some enormous creature was hidden beneath the vast black depths of the sea.

In particular, the rumbling sound coming from the bottom of the ferry continued to ring out.

Soon, Neptune received news that Rosh was going to lead Kanriel and the others to fight the enemy alone.

"What?!!"

Her reaction was even more intense than Novamp's:

“That’s impossible, Lord Luo Xiu. I understand Kanriel’s desire to protect everyone, but the opponents that have come this time are not ordinary little fish or shrimps. They have lived in this sea area for too long. In the sea, these beasts can unleash two hundred percent of their strength.”

"really……"

Luo Xiu pondered. After all, he didn't know much about these two kinds of monsters. If he attacked rashly, he might be put on the defensive. Although points were important, he should prioritize playing it safe.

"Then please tell me about the characteristics of these two kinds of monsters."

Luo Xiu spoke.

"You didn't understand what I meant..."

Nippon wanted to say something more, but Novamp pulled her aside and whispered something in her ear.

When she returned, her beautiful eyes gazed at Luo Xiu, and she let out a long sigh:

"Alright, Lord Luo Xiu, on behalf of Luo Wanpu Academy, I thank you for your efforts."

"There are two kinds of monsters in Rowamp."

"Flooded lizards and mermaids."

"Unlike the monsters in other cities of our kingdom, these two types of monsters live in the same habitat and are interdependent in their living habits. They are used to cooperating with each other when they fight, and often they can exert a fighting power greater than the sum of its parts."

"The main offensive method of the 'water lizard' relies on its extremely high swimming ability when underwater. When they are in the sea, they are extremely powerful in both strength and speed. If we were to use a professional analogy, we could say that they possess both the strength of a berserker and the speed of an assassin in the sea."

"Although they are not very sensitive to magic and their only ranged means is a water cannon, the mermaids make up for this very well."

"The merfolk are like the darlings of this sea. They can wield the power of the sea and possess extremely high mental resistance and magical affinity. If we were to use a profession as an analogy..."

"They are like a combination of mages and singers, not only able to use their songs to bewitch people, but also possessing extremely high magical skills."

Singer.

Luo Xiu heard about a new profession and recalled the methods Neptune used when Tassanya and Liss were fighting. He figured that Neptune's profession must be a singer.

"Lord Luo Xiu, even if you insist on going your own way, I still want to say that no matter what method you use to fight, you must not go directly underwater."

Nippon's expression was serious. What Novamp had just told her was that if Luo Xiu insisted on going, since they couldn't stop him, they might as well let him go.

Otherwise, if he remains oblivious to the situation and suddenly takes action midway through the battle, the situation will only worsen.

She thought about it and realized that it made sense. After all, given Luo Xiu's demonstrated strength, as long as he didn't go underwater, even if he was temporarily outmatched, he would definitely be able to retreat.

Once Luo Xiu suffers a bit, he'll naturally understand.

This Luowang Sea is definitely not as simple as he thought.

Regarding the point about not going underwater, Luo Xiu nodded. Even if Neptune hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have taken that risk.

"I have another question. If we can't get below the surface, and they keep attacking the bottom of the ferry without ever surfacing, won't we just have to watch helplessly as the ferry is breached?"

"We certainly have a way to deal with that."

Nip spoke, and immediately the crew brought a huge object up from the cabin.

It looks like a crane, but it has no handles and its structure is much simpler, except for a huge, thick iron bar at the end, which is engraved with intricate magic array inscriptions and markings.

Soon, the crew lowered the huge, thick iron rod into the sea.

The moment the iron rod entered the water, it immediately caused a huge reaction beneath the surface.

Huge waves of magical energy surged from the seabed and crashed into the iron rod.

Clearly, the monsters below also knew the purpose of this incredibly thick iron rod and wanted to destroy it in advance.

However, the iron rod was engraved with many defensive magic arrays, and its material was hard enough that it was not greatly affected by the magical impacts.

Instead, it was the tremors it emitted after being impacted that traveled to the seabed, causing a series of sharp howls from the ocean floor.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xiu understood the purpose of this thing.

It turns out that it is mediated by something similar to sound waves.

It is likely that both mermaids and lizards have extremely developed hearing and can receive a wider range of sound frequencies than land creatures, so they would be greatly harmed by such sound waves.

Moreover, as the crew members channeled their magic into the iron rod, one magic circle after another lit up around it, and the rod began to tremble on its own, creating a tremendous commotion. Under the enhancement of the magic circles, the sound waves completely evolved into an attack method, and the sea surface around the ferry began to experience violent, small fluctuations.

The sharp howls from the seabed turned into mournful wails under these fluctuations.

Soon, Luo Xiu sensed a powerful magical fluctuation rapidly approaching the sea surface.

coming.

Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed.

The next second, hundreds of figures burst out from the dark, deep sea.

The figures varied in size and appearance, but could be broadly categorized into two types.

One type is a combination of a crocodile and a lizard, but several times larger. The largest one is only slightly smaller than this ferry, and there are two of them.

When it surfaced, it looked as if a mountain range was slowly rising from the sea, and the entire ferry tilted violently. Clearly, the bottom of this ferry was not simple and should be much stronger than the deck, as it was able to withstand several impacts from such a huge object.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth, and even its tongue was covered in scarlet barbs. Countless streams of seawater surged into its mouth and sprayed towards the sky, almost reaching the gray clouds.

The seawater turned into countless droplets and fell from the sky, like a torrential rain.

Combined with the turbulent sea at this moment.

The giant beast suddenly unleashed a storm.

Luo Xiu stood in the rain, his golden hair clinging wetly to his forehead. He looked at Novamp and Neptune, who were already prepared and had erected a protective shield beside him, and smiled:

"Sir, is it possible for such a massive creature to crawl through the defensive line?"

"They must have dived into the very deep sea."

Neptune spoke, her expression serious:

"This is clearly a premeditated operation, which is very unusual. Our location was exposed in advance."

"Similar things have happened several times recently. For some reason, these beasts seem to have become more aware of the movements in this sea area."

Following Neptune's gaze, Luo Xiu saw a mermaid sitting diagonally behind the giant beast.

This mermaid is not as terrifying as the fish-men in some literary works of the last century; she still has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish tail.

But she wasn't as beautiful as the mermaids in fairy tales.

Its lower body scales are generally grayish-green, lacking the streamlined lines of artificial enhancement, and closely resemble a fish's tail, which is clearly a result of evolution.

His upper body was also uncovered, with no shell-like objects to cover it, leaving his chest completely exposed.

Judging from their chests, both of the five fifth-tier mermaids who came this time were female, but they did not arouse any interest at all.

Because their heads are very similar in structure to those of fish, their eyes are completely dead fish eyes, very close together, symmetrically attached to both sides of the nostrils.

It's called nostrils because there's no bridge to the nose; they're just two empty holes, which looks incredibly creepy.

According to Neptune, these mermaids have the ability to sense the ocean, but a month or two ago, their abilities were not so developed and their sensing range was not very wide. Therefore, Rowanp's defenses were set up according to the limits of their sensing range.

But in the last month or two, they have been able to frequently detect important ships in the sea.

Just two weeks ago, a ship carrying Rovaniemi's seeded players was completely destroyed in such a surprise attack.

"Lord Luo Xiu, are you sure you still want to insist?"

Neptune looked at Rosh seriously.

"let me try."

Luo Xiu smiled slightly.

"Kanriel! Assemble!"

He spoke, and Kanriel and his men quickly appeared on the deck.
