Reluctant to part with its parents, Blacky was nevertheless filled with excitement for the unknown world. After a fond farewell to its mother and father, Blacky joined Raine's side.
From this day forth, Blacky officially became a member of Raine's crew.
"Blacky, stay close to us, understand?"
Blacky nodded as White and the Tiger King happily leaped onto Blacky's head, allowing it to carry them as they raced across the sea.
The Dad set sail once more, heading toward the legendary Dragon-class waters.
Watching the trio play, Raine chuckled and shook his head, silently opening Blacky's personal attribute panel.
[Crewmember: Blacky (Young Scaly Dragon)]
[Level: D7-class King-class Sea Monster]
[Base Attributes: Combat Power 1,850,000]
Sea monsters have no skill descriptions, as they don't need to transform. Their physical base attributes far surpass those of other creatures, and their combat power can rival that of warships!
Currently, Blacky's strength was far from enough to face Raine's second-tier aircraft carriers or super-warships like the Ice God. However, considering its youth and d7 level, its 1,850,000 combat power was already quite terrifying.
"Blacky, grow up quickly. The sea monsters in the Dragon-class waters seem formidable," Raine said, watching the three siblings frolicking in the sea before turning back.
Between the King-class and Dragon-class waters lay the ocean trench known as the Forbidden Land of Dragons. As the name suggested, the perilous nature of this place was self-evident.
As soon as Raine's fleet entered these waters, a multitude of sea monsters surged from the depths.
"Captain, the radar has detected something approaching from the seabed!" The captains' warnings came through the intercom.
"Maintain formation. Avril, Charge King, launch torpedo warnings!"
The three aircraft carriers swiftly launched torpedoes, attacking the swarm of sea monsters.
"Everyone maintain formation and advance at full speed!"
These sea monsters weren't too highly ranked, but they were numerous. Raine employed the torpedoes of the three aircraft carriers in a display of deterrence against the swarm.
Explosions thundered from the depths, sending curtains of water into the air, mixed with the blood of some sea monsters, instantly staining a large area red.
The sea monsters beneath the surface, however, were not deterred by the death of their kind, and continued to pursue Raine's fleet.
"What's with these guys? Are they on a suicide mission?" Raine shook his head. He had used several waves of torpedo attacks, and although he had killed some monsters, their numbers didn't seem to diminish, nor did the attacks have any deterring effect.
It was as if they were bewitched, relentlessly chasing Raine's fleet.
"Captain, a new swarm of sea monsters has appeared to the northwest!"
"Captain, a swarm of sea monsters is approaching rapidly from the southeast, including one massive creature. We cannot determine its rank yet!"
Raine's brow furrowed.
While the Forbidden Land of Dragons didn't have the colossal whirlpool crisis of the Satanic Abyss, the sheer number of sea monsters here was overwhelming, creating an endless onslaught.
The blood in the water seemed to attract even more sea monsters, and a multitude of various creatures gathered on the ocean floor.
"No wonder it's called the Forbidden Land of Dragons. Even a dragon would be worn down to death in such a place!"
They were still 34 nautical miles away from escaping the Forbidden Land of Dragons, roughly an hour's travel. At this rate, they might not be able to endure.
"Yamato, launch torpedo attacks! Don't let them get any closer!"
Once the most heavily-armed Yamato began its attack, the ocean floor became a terrifying place.
Columns of water shot up, and the sea surface turned red with blood. Meanwhile, the turbulent undercurrents created massive waves on the previously calm surface.
In such dire circumstances, Raine had no choice but to order the fleet to slow down, as they could not maintain full speed.
"Damn it, did we just poke a hornet's nest? Captain, come take a look!" Onebear stood at the door of the control room, shouting to Raine.
Raine hurried over.
On the shipborne radar, at a depth of 4,000 meters, a large cluster of green spots appeared, rapidly moving toward them.
"What the hell, why are there more the harder we fight?" Raine's brow furrowed. No matter how strong his fleet was, they couldn't withstand an assault from hundreds or thousands of sea monsters.
"Captain, if we don't use torpedoes to block them, we'll likely be overtaken. But using torpedoes only attracts more sea monsters!"
Twobear said, "At first, I thought the Forbidden Land of Dragons would be easier to navigate than the Satanic Abyss, but this... this is terrifying. This is the true abyss that devours people."
Raine glanced at the radar again, his thoughts racing.
His flagship could reach speeds of 50 knots, but the other vessels couldn't match that ability.
Of their current arsenal, only some anti-submarine missiles and torpedoes could damage the sea monsters lurking beneath the surface. The crux, however, was that he couldn't continue to attack the swarms of sea monsters without attracting even more.
"It seems we have to try this!"
"Which one? Boss, do you have any other weapons?" Onebear asked curiously.
Raine didn't have time to explain. If their warships didn't open fire, the sea monster swarm would catch up to them in about ten minutes.
Ten minutes was enough time for him to activate this ability.
After calculating, Raine issued a command to the system in his mind.
"Prepare to activate underwater volcanoes, five in total! Eruption time, 5 minutes from now! Location, 4,000 meters ahead!"
That location was beyond the seafloor trench, with a depth of about 800 meters.
………………………
The group halted all their fires, and the waves on the sea surface finally began to slow down. The fleet began to move at full speed!
4 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute...
Raine had already seen five suddenly protruding underwater volcano mouths on the system radar. The volcano mouths were flickering with red light, and a large number of bubbles were emerging from them!
The five volcanoes, lined up, were ready to erupt!
At this moment, the 28 warships of the Dad quickly passed through this area.
Half a minute later, the five volcanoes erupted simultaneously.
The scene shocked everyone.
Violent magma shot out, reaching more than ten meters above the sea surface before falling back into the water, causing the nearby seawater to boil instantly! Underwater, thick smoke billowed, magma flowed, and the seabed trembled!
A large number of sea monsters saw this and stopped their pursuit.
Intimidation didn't work on them, but now they felt the danger themselves!
The bodies of the sea monsters were enormous, making it difficult for them to pass through this vast area unscathed. Even with their strong defenses, they dared not challenge the power of nature.
Raine checked the radar. The vast majority of sea monsters were blocked behind the volcanic group, and the few still pursuing no longer posed a threat to them.
Raine finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn, that was terrifying."
Onebear and Twobear looked at Raine in shock, "Boss, was that... an underwater volcanic eruption? You didn't cause that, did you?"
Raine sneered, "If it wasn't me, who else could it be? Focus on steering the ship. We're about to enter the Dragon-class area!"
As Raine finished speaking, the radar showed another situation. Seventy or eighty ships appeared on the radar!
Raine frowned, "You've got to be kidding me. Another blockade? Are we going to fight as soon as we enter the Dragon-class area? What's going on? I'm a peace-loving person!"
Reluctant to part with its parents, Blacky was nevertheless filled with excitement for the unknown world. After a fond farewell to its mother and father, Blacky joined Raine's side.
From this day forth, Blacky officially became a member of Raine's crew.
