Path of Light.

Chapter 690 691. Sea Storm

The sea hidden in the darkness presents a breathtakingly silent beauty.

Leah squatted on the bronze argali head horns like a night blade leopard, staring at the sea nervously.

A giant figure appeared on the sea surface more than 200 meters away. It emerged from the sea with countless seaweed and kelp hanging on its head, and even shells parasitizing on its dark skin. Dozens of squid-like tentacles grew on its head, and these tentacles curled up and hung down.

Its body was round like a fungus, with its arms and body curled together. The moment it emerged from the sea, a thick dark aura rushed towards Leah.

The dark atmosphere in the salty sea breeze is filled with the smell of death.

Leah had never seen this kind of dark creature. The sea water kept flowing along its body. It appeared on the beach in the shallow water. It was more than three meters high. It waded through the sea water step by step towards the area where the magic airships gathered.

Leah placed her hands on her thighs. A sharp wolverine needle was tied to the outside of her right leg, and her hands were shaking slightly.

She held her breath and observed the dark creature carefully.

For Leah, this was a rare opportunity to prove herself. The elf warriors on the ship all went to the top of the cliff to set up tents at night. There were only a few half-elf crew members left on the nine magic airships. Except for the half-elf warriors on duty, the ships were quiet.

She crouched down, wanting to take the opportunity to jump from the bow into the sea...

Suddenly a white hand was placed on her shoulder.

Alice stood barefoot in front of Leah's hand and put a finger in her mouth, signaling Leah to be quiet.

She leaned close to Leah's ear and said with her light pink lips:

"Don't take risks. It should be a dark faceless one. When I was lying in the tent in the camp, I heard the demon hunters talking about them. You can't beat it. It will wrap its strong arms around you tightly and then crush all the bones in your body..."

Leah looked at Alice, with an expression of "what should we do then?" in her eyes.

"Liya, you seem to have forgotten one thing. We are not alone here..."

As she spoke, Alice looked at the palm of her hand, and then a ball of holy light appeared in her palm. She threw the holy light into the sea with force.

A ball of light was very conspicuous in the night. The half-blood elf warriors on the magic airship were attracted by this ball of holy light. Everyone watched in surprise as the ball of holy light floated towards the sea. Then, under the reflection of this ball of holy light, a figure standing in the sea was completely exposed...

The half-elf guard standing on duty in the watchtower immediately noticed the clues on the sea. He immediately picked up a small copper hammer hanging on the main mast and knocked hard on a copper bell.

'Dang Dang Dang...'

The urgent ringing of the bell awakened the sleeping crew members on the ship. The half-elf warrior on duty even took out a magic flare from his waist and shot it at the dark shadow standing on the coastline.

The bright and soft yellow light drew a long flame tail in the air. The flame of the magic flare was much brighter than Alia's holy light.

Not far away in the sea, a dark monster that looked like an octopus and was covered with seaweed stood alone in the sea...

It paid no attention to the magic flare, but instead stared at the holy light that was dimming and falling into the sea. Then the tentacles on its face began to dance, and the dark faceless creature rushed towards Alice's location.
Its nearly two-meter-long thighs stepped into the seawater. It ran very fast, and a cloud of mist appeared around its body...

Leah reacted almost subconsciously and blocked Alice behind her.

The half-elf crew members on the ship also reacted quickly. Those standing on the watchtower picked up their longbows, drew their bows and aimed arrows at the Dark Faceless Man.

Some crew members who did not have time to put on their armor ran out of the cabin and rushed to the side of the ship, occupying advantageous positions and observing the situation outside.

It can be seen that these elf crew members are very experienced in dealing with emergencies.

The crew members who caught up with them were holding weapons. They distributed weapons to each crew member, and another crew member ran out holding leather armor...

It was unclear who shot the first arrow, but countless arrows flew towards the Dark Faceless Man.

Perhaps the great success in hunting the wind snake gave the crew great confidence, and they felt that they could use bows and arrows to shoot the monster covered with tentacles into a hedgehog...

A rain of arrows flew out, most of them pierced the Faceless Man.

Although the Faceless Man was riddled with arrows and looked like he was seriously injured, his running speed did not slow down at all. When he rushed to the bow of the ship, his arms stretched out to seven or eight meters long. He hooked the side of the ship with both hands, and his body suddenly shrank like a rubber man, and he actually jumped directly onto the deck.

The two tentacles tightly wrapped around the two half-elf crew members, pulling them from the side of the ship to the front of the Faceless Man. While struggling, the two half-elf crew members dropped the elven longbows in their hands, trying their best to break free from the entanglement of the Faceless Man's tentacles.

The other crew members also drew their elven swords and attacked the Faceless Man on the deck.

At this time, Alice's whole body was covered with a layer of faint holy light. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, stood at the bow and whispered a prayer. Suddenly, a beam of light fell from Alice's head, and a dazzling ball of holy light appeared in front of Alice.

At this time, the Faceless Man twisted his body, stretched out his two tentacle-like arms, and threw the two crew members into the sea.

The Faceless Man ran a few steps and stretched out a tentacle towards Alice. Leah, who was squatting beside Alice, turned her body into a ball of black mist. When her body reappeared, she was squatting on the left side of the Faceless Man. She inserted the Wolverine Needle in her hand directly into the Faceless Man's head full of tentacles.

The entire sharp dagger was completely inserted into the Faceless Man's body, but the Faceless Man just trembled violently. Then the tentacles growing on the Faceless Man's chin stretched out and tightly entangled Leah who wanted to dodge.

The ball of holy light in Alice's hand also flew out at this moment. It hit the Faceless Man's chest and immediately burned a hole in his chest.

The Faceless Man was in great pain, and the tentacles on his body were twitching violently. Leah took this opportunity to escape from the tentacles. She ran forward in two halves, and her body turned into a ball of black mist again, disappearing into the night...

When Leah revealed her body again, she was standing behind Alice.

At this time, the deck was already full of crew members. They saw a black monster that was slimy and looked like an octopus appear on the deck. The monster stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and kept attacking the crew members around it.

However, it was injured in the chest, so many of its movements were greatly affected.

After leaving the sea, the power of this faceless man was gradually weakened.

There were more and more half-elf crew members around, and the sharp elven swords cut wounds on its body. These crew members had rich combat experience and soon the Dark Faceless One was covered with wounds...

As a clear cry came from overhead, a sword dancer wearing full thorium armor suddenly appeared on the deck. She wielded two Serruki swords, her body moving continuously with the swords in her hands, and then the two swords in her hands stabbed at the Faceless Man.

Every movement she made was very graceful, and she looked like a dancer on the battlefield.

The Faceless Man stretched out several tentacles, but they were cut off one by one by the sword blades under the stranglehold of the sword dancer's flying swords... As the sword dancer took a heavy step forward, Leia felt the whole ship shake slightly when she stepped down. The two swords in her hands were simultaneously placed on the Faceless Man's neck covered with tentacles.

The two swords crossed together like a pair of sharp scissors. Behind the sword dancer, a shadow of a female elf appeared in the same posture. As the two Serruki swords merged together, the faceless man's head rolled onto the deck, and his huge body like a mountain of flesh also piled up on the deck like a pool of rotten meat.

A group of crew members immediately surrounded him, stabbed the Faceless Man's head with their elven swords, and cut off the tentacles that were still dancing wildly.

The white griffin also took the opportunity to land on the deck, crawled to the side of the female sword dancer, and took the opportunity to peck at a faceless tentacle that was still wriggling on the deck...

The female sword dancer put the two Serruki swords back into the scabbards and lifted the visor on the helmet with one hand, revealing a bright and pretty face - Sabrina.

The crew on the magic airship cheered, ignoring the pile of smelly rotten meat on the deck.

Not long after, Roy and the members of the Zakarum Adventure Group returned to the magic airship. He ordered several captains of the mine guard group to immediately strengthen the vigilance around the ship.

The Faceless Man's corpse decays very quickly, and it must be cleaned out this morning before the rotten flesh becomes completely smelly.

The members of the adventure group gathered in the captain's room. In addition, there were the captains of the nine magic airships and several captains of the mine guard group.

Roy stood next to a wall with a portrait of the Dark Faceless Man on it.

In addition to the Dark Faceless Man, this portrait also shows the Nakma demon whose figure resembles a centaur.

Nibru is a spider-man with a human upper body and a spider lower body.

A dark demon with a human body and a goat's head on its neck.

Roy pointed at the four dark golems on the portrait and said to everyone:

"The one that just rushed onto the magic airship was a dark faceless creature. It, along with the Nakma demons, the Nibru spiders, and the dark demons, is known as the four dark legions of the Abyss."

"I just came back from the Dark Land this time. Although we didn't come into contact with the Dark Legion in the Dark Land, we learned a lot of relevant information."

.

"The Dark Faceless Ones appeared in this sea area. It is very likely that there is a passage connected to the Dark Land somewhere on the seabed. I guess these Dark Faceless Ones should be fighting with the sea beast priests in this sea area. This can also explain why we can't see any murlocs as we move along the coastline."

"Everyone, we may have to be more careful on our next exploration trip."

"In addition, I also hope to obtain some information about the Dark Faceless in the next exploration. After all, this is a major event that is closely related to our Partington plane, and all elves should pay attention to it."

"At present, a plane war is breaking out in the Green Empire of Roland Continent. I am worried that this plane war may spread to the elf world. I hope everyone will pay attention to it."

After Roy said this information, there was silence in the captain's room. No one expected that Roy would associate so many things with just a dark faceless man appearing on the coastline.

After the short meeting, the officers and captains of the mine guard regiment left with heavy hearts.

Miss Tiffany quietly dived into the dark sea and began to investigate the sea area...

Everyone waited until dawn, but no second Dark Faceless Man was seen.

Roy heard from the crew on duty on the ship that the Dark Faceless Man was discovered by Leia, so he took Leia around the coastline for most of the day, but unfortunately still found nothing.

After patrolling the surrounding waters, Miss Tiffany also failed to obtain any news about the Dark Faceless Man.

Despite this, the fleet did not return to its original route because of this setback, but continued to advance northwest along the coastline.

During this period, the Griffin Riders wanted to search deep into the sea, but were stopped by Roy. This behavior was tantamount to provoking the sea beast priests in the deep sea area.

Roy had seen the abilities of second-turn masters. The sea beast priests were also second-turn masters. They also had powerful magic contract partners like deep-sea beasts. Ordinary second-turn masters could not be a match for the sea beast priests.

Once these griffin riders encounter the sea beast priests at sea, it will be difficult for them to return alive.

The advantage of the fleet sailing along the coastline is obvious. Once they encounter a sea beast priest, they can quickly run to land. The biggest weakness of the sea creatures is that once they leave the ocean, their strength will be greatly weakened.

Roy felt that the Dark Faceless Man of Feather Arrow was definitely not an accidental incident, so the fleet has been on level one alert during this period.

The number of half-elf guards patrolling at night doubled.

In the third week after the fleet left Sun Island Bay, Roy discovered that as the fleet headed northwest, the temperature around them continued to drop.

Recently, there are no tropical trees on this coastline. It has been raining for three consecutive days. The sea is very windy and rough. The waves are only a dozen meters high. When a big wave hits, these three-masted sailing ships will tilt very much.

Sabrina ventured into the sky with a few griffin riders, facing the fierce sea breeze. A group of griffin riders flew directly through the thundering clouds.

When we reached the high-altitude wind layer, we discovered that the clouds beneath our feet had actually gathered into a huge vortex with a diameter of several hundred kilometers.

This is a typical sea storm.

After September every year, there are always sea storms in Castletown.

The current location of Roy's fleet is just at the edge of the sea storm...

Sabrina rode the Griffin back to the fleet, and the fleet immediately sought a safe haven.

This sea area was full of long and narrow fjords, and the fleet soon entered a fjord with a natural deep water area.

This place is very sheltered from the wind. No matter howling in the sea, the waves in this fjord are not that strong. In addition, the elf guards of the mine guard on the ship have set up tents in the woods by the sea. According to the living habits of the elves, they feel safer living by the sea.

Just as the elves set up camp, a storm came...

Heavy rains caused flash floods in some of the surrounding mountains. Overnight, thousands of streams of all sizes emerged in the fjord.
