Why is my anime art style so weird?

Several heroes near him had vacant eyes and were half asleep. One of them even seemed to be sleepwalking, shaking his head and walking toward the ship's side.

Then, with a splash, the man plunged into the sea.

Just then, the sea suddenly began to boil, and then a terrifying scene unfolded.

One by one, mermaids with human upper bodies and fish tails leaped out of the sea and pounced on the hero.

The hero struggled and screamed in the water.

The mermaid in the sea completely shattered Xu Ming's illusions about such beautiful creatures.

Like piranhas in the rivers of South America, they opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and bit down hard on the hero, then with a violent jerk, tore off all the flesh from his body.

The seawater churned, spewing out large amounts of foam mixed with blood and bits of flesh.

A few minutes later, a white skeleton rose from the bottom of the water and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Then, one by one, mermaids rose from the water.

They licked their lips with their tongues, their eyes fixed on the people on the boat, their hungry expressions like those of wolves waiting for their prey.

Mermaids, also known as sirens, are legendary sea monsters. They have the lower body of a fish tail and the upper body of a beautiful woman. They lure sailors with their enchanting songs, causing ships to run aground and sink, and then devour the victims.

This is a terrifying monster that is extremely adept at disguise.

Xu Ming noticed that, apart from a few heroes who were lured into the sea by the Sirens' song and were then devoured by them, most heroes were still struggling to hold on.

The Sirens' song is, in essence, a special innate magical ability, not a reflection of their exceptional singing talent.

With enough willpower, one can resist the temptation of the siren's song.

From this perspective, it is absolutely necessary for the goddess Athena to conduct trials in advance and eliminate a group of people.

If you can't even pass the trial, you're probably just here to deliver yourself to the enemy.

At this moment, Xu Ming realized that the sirens might not be able to wait any longer and showed signs of jumping onto the ship to eat people!

Chapter 540 The Wrath of the Sea Emperor

Xu Ming immediately turned the phone volume up to the maximum and started playing "Gokuraku Jodo".

You should know that the exorcism phone is a high-tech feature of the system; when needed, the volume can be louder than the speakers of square dancing aunties.

The rousing, rhythmic, and catchy music immediately began, instantly drowning out the siren's song.

The heroes on the ship gradually regained consciousness.

"Damn it! What's wrong with us?"

"I think I just fell asleep?"

"Look! Sirens!"

The heroes soon discovered the nearby sirens and the sea stained red with blood.

It goes without saying what these Sirens did.

They were controlled, and even nearly torn to pieces, becoming food for others.

The heroes were utterly enraged.

"Kill them all!"

They raised their weapons and shouted, then charged towards the man-eating sea monsters to the upbeat melody of "Gokuraku Jodo".

The sirens' greatest strength lies in their songs, which can control people's minds. Apart from that, their physical abilities are even inferior to those of an adult.

In contrast, the heroes on the Argo were all elites who had passed the goddess's trials, each capable of single-handedly slaying monsters.

After their strongest methods were abolished, the Sirens were immediately routed by the heroes.

Soon only a few kittens remained, jumping into the sea and escaping.

There were originally 35 heroes on board, but when they encountered the Sirens, 4 of them were bewitched by the Sirens' song and jumped into the sea, where they were devoured by the Sirens.

These heroes didn't seem too sad; after offering a brief prayer, they went about their own business.

Several heroes came over to express their gratitude to Xu Ming.

If it weren't for Xu Ming's interference, they would have almost been defeated here.

These heroes may be all brawn and no brains, but they're not stupid.

They had witnessed Xu Ming's amazing performance and already regarded him as a bard who could sing magical songs.

In adventures, such support classes are often the most popular.

In particular, in their eyes, Xu Ming could not only enhance their combat effectiveness, but also tour various places to sing their praises.

In their eyes, Xu Ming's value immediately skyrocketed.

Xu Ming's previously somewhat marginalized situation has greatly improved, and he has become a highly sought-after person.

Xu Ming could only silently complain about this in his heart.

This is so true.

In this inexplicable encounter, the only thing that remained unaffected was probably the Argo itself.

The eerie ghost warship continued its planned treacherous journey into the depths of the Aegean Sea.

After an unknown amount of time, an elderly hero with gray hair suddenly sniffed, then shouted in shock:

"Oh no! A storm is coming!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone was in an uproar.

Several hot-tempered heroes suddenly became agitated.

"Old man! You must be joking, how could there be a storm this time of year!?"

The old hero pointed to the distant sky with a cold smile.

"Don't believe me? Look at this!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the distance, dark clouds had gathered, and lightning and thunder could be faintly seen between them.

Thick bolts of electric lightning darted through the black clouds.

Boom!

As if to confirm his words, a huge rumble of thunder faintly came from afar.

Everyone's expression immediately changed.

Although the Argo is a warship bestowed by the goddess, the sea is the territory of Poseidon, the sea god. Whether you can safely weather the storm depends on the mood of this big shot.

Can this wrecked ship withstand the onslaught of a storm?

The group looked at the rotten and dilapidated Argo, which seemed like it would fall apart if a big wave hit, and felt no confidence at all.

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I should have brought his fat... Flying Pig No. 1 in.

Haruyuki Arita, with his unlimited range, can make the most of his abilities on this map.

It's too late to regret it now.

Xu Ming had already secretly made up his mind that if the ship was really about to sink, he would summon his Orochi clone and escape by sea.

Faced with this natural disaster, which was like divine punishment, even the heroes who could fight against a hundred men had no good solutions.

After discussing it for a while, one group, led by the old hero, began to think of ways to repair the warship's vulnerabilities, while the other group began to pray to the gods, hoping to receive help.

Led by the old hero, they cut down the masts of the warship and removed the still-intact doors to patch the holes.

Although the door panels were already almost completely rotten, everyone was still working enthusiastically.

This mentality is probably similar to cramming before the college entrance exam. Even though you know it won't be very effective, you still can't help but do it.

But another group of people who prayed to the gods received bad news.

The gods did not respond to them.

They first prayed to Athena, but the goddess ignored them.

Then they prayed to Poseidon, the sea god and the master of the place, but this angered the powerful man, and the hastily prepared offerings were destroyed.

Angry the Sea God at sea is like walking into an American police station with a toy gun.

Dead!

Anxiety spread like a virus across the Argo.

Just when everyone was filled with anxiety.

Someone shouted.

"It's raining!"

Xu Ming subconsciously looked up at the sky, just like everyone else.

A drop of cold rain hit his face.

Thick, dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, quietly descended over the Argo.

Whoosh!

After a while, a torrential downpour suddenly pounded on everyone's heads.

The sky seemed to have been pierced with a huge hole, and the rain continued incessantly.

A massive storm followed, turning the once calm sea into a ferocious beast that devoured people.

Two or three stories high waves followed one after another, the seawater crashing onto the deck with the force that seemed to want to smash the entire Argo into pieces.

Everyone had no choice but to tie themselves to a sturdy object, and Xu Ming did the same.

After tying himself to the support pillar in the cabin, Xu Ming gripped the jade pendant on his wrist tightly.

At this moment, the entire Argo was like a roller coaster, rising and falling.

The surrounding wooden structure emitted unpleasant groans, as if it could break at any moment.

Despite knowing he wouldn't die, Xu Ming felt his own insignificance for the first time in the face of such ferocious power of nature.
