Chapter 1395: A series of changes
Without any warning, an extremely dull and strange sound suddenly came from deep under the sea. The sound was low and deep, like a giant war drum that was suddenly beaten, causing people's hearts to tremble continuously.
Immediately afterwards, more shocking noises, some dull and some sharp, erupted from the sea, as if a frantic and disordered tune was suddenly played on the bottom of the sea, making people's eardrums buzz.
"Your Majesty, it's the cry of the sea monster!"
Bruno, who once commanded the Minotaur fleet for decades, widened his eyes and immediately reacted.
His face was full of surprise, and he blurted out, "Judging from the deep sound, the ones making the noise are probably all giant sixth-level sea monsters. There are at least dozens of them, no, there may be hundreds of them!"
After Bruno said this, the Minotaur captain and the Minotaur sailors who had just returned nodded tremblingly, and the panic on their faces was beyond words.
As they have been sailing in this sea area for many years, they naturally know best how terrifying sea monsters are, especially the giant sea monsters of the sixth level.
Those huge bodies are thick-skinned and strong, and the energy stored in their bodies is inexhaustible. The smallest one is comparable to a giant ship.
The largest one we have seen so far is even as big as a giant castle. The amazing scene of it leaping out of the water from the bottom of the sea is so stunning that it covers the sky and the sun, as if doomsday has come.
During the two thousand years that the Minotaur had been fighting against them, although there had been a few successful cases of killing sixth-order sea monsters, in most cases neither side could do anything to the other, and there were many times when they even suffered heavy losses. And this was only when dealing with one sixth-order sea monster. If they encountered two at the same time, the fleet would have no choice but to flee.
From this, it is not difficult to see how surprised and panicked they were when they learned that hundreds of sixth-level sea monsters appeared nearby. This was simply a death situation.
While they were extremely surprised, a look of confusion appeared on the hairy faces of the minotaurs.
As they have been dealing with sea monsters for many years, they all clearly understand that every powerful sea monster has a strong sense of territory.
Except for a few that have group habits, most of them will not allow other sea monsters to approach them at will, and will not easily leave their territory.
In addition, there are not even nests of these powerful sea monsters in the surrounding waters. That is why they chose this relatively calm sea area as their route.
From this, it is not difficult to see that no matter from which angle you look at it, there should never be a large number of high-level sea monsters gathering here at the same time. This is obviously not in line with common sense.
"Your Majesty, could this just be imitating the sound of a sea monster?"
Bruno seemed to have thought of something and blurted out.
However, before Bruno's words fell, the sea in the distance suddenly became turbulent, and a giant sea python monster, which was a hundred meters long, roared and rolled out of the water.
Under the reflection of the cold white moon, the mouth full of sharp teeth flashed with icy light, and the sturdy body covered with dark scales flashed with ochre light, which had obviously condensed into a thick energy barrier.
For magical beasts above level five, it is naturally easy to condense an energy barrier to protect themselves.
Seeing this astonishing scene, Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly. He had never seen such a huge sea monster in person, except in the mirage of the dimensional storm. It was like a prehistoric behemoth.
However, before Lei Xiao could marvel in his heart, a giant shark monster that was even larger than the former suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the former's scaly body.
The moment the extremely sharp giant teeth touched the body wrapped in the ochre-colored energy barrier, they immediately stirred up a vast energy wave, and wherever the energy wave swept, a huge wave was set off.
By the time the waves fell, the two giant sea monsters had long disappeared, leaving only countless white foams floating on the sea surface.
"It seems that it's not just the sound that appears."
Lei Xiao retracted his gaze and said solemnly: "I'm afraid these guys have just entered here. It's not surprising that they are fighting for territory with each other in an unfamiliar land."
Just now, Lei Xiao had asked Xiao Huan who was accompanying him and ruled out the possibility of an illusion. Although the latter was only a fifth-level stone elf, as a creature created by God, it was still possible to simply distinguish whether it was an illusion or not.
As Lei Xiao finished speaking, in other surrounding sea areas, sea monsters began to fight each other, causing the wind and clouds to surge everywhere, just like setting off one fierce and deadly storm after another.
"Your Majesty is right. Fortunately, everyone has landed and built a temporary absolute defense barrier. Although the area here is limited, it is enough to serve as a safe haven for us."
Bruno recovered a little from his panic, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "But there is one thing I don't understand. Their territories are very far away from each other. How could they appear here at the same time?"
"Perhaps it's because more entrances to the barrier area appeared at the same time, or perhaps some kind of existence deliberately lured them here."
Faced with the increasingly serious situation, Lei Xiao did not hold back this time and expressed all his thoughts.
"Did you intentionally lure them here?!"
Hearing this, not only Bruno, but also most of the other powerful people present had expressions of astonishment. Only a few people like Schulte looked relatively calm, and it was obvious that they had vaguely realized this.
"Don't you think it's very strange?"
Lei Xiao looked at the astonished expressions of the crowd and nodded slightly, saying, "Logically speaking, as a paradise, the barrier area often has obvious functions, but here there is only an isolated island with a limited area, and it is equipped with some kind of space-distorting circulation method, so that no matter where we start from, we will eventually return here."
"Your Majesty is right. If there really is an invisible hand controlling all of this, then it is obviously deliberately guiding us to this isolated island. This can be proven by the circulation of the distorted space and the sudden appearance of these high-level sea monsters."
Shulter nodded in agreement, and then a puzzled look appeared on the old face of the woodcarver. "But this isolated island doesn't look anything special. It's simply unbelievable."
"That being said, it does make sense."
Bruno pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "But why did that invisible hand do this?"
Just when everyone was puzzled, a hint of solemnity flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes.
This is also something I am extremely confused about.
Although he initially thought that this was just an ancient barrier area that had fallen into disrepair, more and more signs showed that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
While everyone was puzzled, the fierce battle among the sea monsters in the surrounding waters began to intensify. Although the battle had not yet reached here, an atmosphere of uneasiness began to spread on the isolated island.
In addition to the 20 sixth-level fighters we had at the beginning, although we later gathered another 50 sixth-level fighters from various forces on our side, as well as hundreds of fifth-level warriors, there were not many warriors who were good at water battles. Facing hundreds of sixth-level sea monsters fighting each other, it still made people feel panic.
"My Lord, do you think there is something strange about this isolated island itself?"
A hint of doubt also appeared on Xiaojing's fair face, and she blurted out.
Before Lei Xiao could reply, something strange happened.
The entire isolated island suddenly shook violently, and many of the surrounding Minotaur sailors were caught off guard and fell to the ground, staggering and unable to get up.
For a moment, the whole scene became extremely chaotic, and the sea monsters that were originally fighting fiercely in the surroundings suddenly became quiet and curled up.
"My Lord, this isolated island itself could not be a giant sea monster, could it?"
There was no panic on Xiaojing's fair face, but instead a hint of excitement.
However, Xiao Jing's words made Bruno and others even more panicked. If this was true, the situation would undoubtedly be more dangerous.
"No way."
While feeling awe in his heart, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and decisively denied the other party's opinion.
I had considered this extremely dramatic situation a long time ago. After investigation by many powerful men, including Chris and Fanny, who were earth-type great mages, and several water-type great mages who were detecting in the waters around the isolated island, they could all confirm that this isolated island was not a living being and did not have any characteristics of a golem puppet.
"Your Majesty, since it is not a living being, then what is the reason for this sudden shaking? Could it be that the magical veins under the sea suddenly erupted?"
Bruno immediately denied his own opinion at this point and continued, "No, this is a barrier area that is different from the real space. How could there be magic veins here?"
"My Lord, it's the energy fluctuation of the space system!"
As the highest-ranking space mage present, Jiang Xi was the first to react. He said with a serious face, "There is an extremely powerful space energy fluctuation rising from the bottom of this barrier area. That is the source of the shaking of the island!"
"Energy fluctuations of the space system?"
Broy stood on a small mound of earth, looking around nervously.
After a while, he pointed to the end of the sea level and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, look over there!"
Looking in the direction of the other person's finger, Lei Xiao immediately widened his eyes.
The space there looked blurry, and even the two moons hanging high in the sky and the entire starry sky seemed to be pulled out of shape by a pair of invisible hands. The crescent moon was almost torn into a long strip and its shape was completely changed.
As we all know, the sky and the moon within the barrier area are projections from the real world, which undoubtedly means that the space there is expanding rapidly.
"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?"
Bruno and some other strong men had expressions of complete panic on their faces, and were obviously completely at a loss.
You know, outside the barrier area is the void space that swallows everything. If the wall of the barrier area bursts, revealing a gap in the void space like a black hole, most people will obviously die.
"Don't panic. Don't forget our speculation just now. It seems that there is some kind of power secretly controlling all of this. The other party is going through so much trouble, not just to open a big hole in the wall of the barrier area."
Although Lei Xiao was also extremely nervous in his heart, his expression remained calm.
"Your Excellency is right. I can vaguely sense that this pulling and expansion is not because the space barrier wall is in disrepair, but because some force is trying to do something."
Jiang Xi affirmed Lei Xiao's opinion and echoed: "That is not to deliberately damage the space barrier wall, but more like a reshaping."
"Reshape?"
Bruno's face was pale, and he asked in confusion, "But until just now, this barrier area was very normal. Why did it suddenly need to be reshaped?"
"This is indeed puzzling, but the means of that power are too mysterious and subtle, and it is impossible for people to detect any clues. It is simply unheard of to suddenly change the structure of a certain area of the barrier."
Jiang Xi shook his head helplessly and responded, "But the Lord is right. At least from the current situation, as long as we stay here, we are not in any danger."
After hearing Jiang Xi's words, the extremely tense atmosphere eased a lot.
But it didn't take long. As the entire island shook more and more violently, the space pull became more severe. The moon projection at the end of the sky, which was originally stretched into a long strip, almost turned into a thin line across the sky, which looked terrifying.
Just when the atmosphere was about to become tense again, everything came to an abrupt halt.
Not only did the tremors completely stop, but even the moon and starry sky in the distance returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, the entire barrier area was silent. Even the sea monsters that were extremely manic just now remained quiet and did not move at all.
"It looks like it's finally over."
After a while, Broy wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"But nothing has changed."
After finally finding an opportunity to show her head, Chao Yan looked around and asked in confusion, "What on earth did that space pull just now reshape?"
"Isn't this just a means of intimidation?"
Bruno straightened the silver helmet with two bull horns on his head and nodded thoughtfully.
"No, it has definitely changed."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed in the direction that was just pulled by space, nodded slightly and said: "Look carefully, everything will be very obvious."
Looking in the direction of Lei Xiao's finger, everyone observed intently for a moment, then showed expressions of surprise and began to look at each other.
