The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　"Of course it's true, what else?" Vivian said rudely, "Let me tell you first, don't try to steal my Alice. She doesn't like men, she..."

　Before she could finish her words, Alice stuffed her mouth with a piece of bread.

　"Rude," she muttered.

　"Ms. Vivian is also very cute..." William felt that he was sweating profusely.

　The superiors have instructed that the white-haired girl in front of him is a dragon, and her temper may be different from that of ordinary people, so she needs to be treated with caution.

　William didn't think anything of it at first, but when he really met Vivian's eyes, he felt that he dared not speak carelessly.

　The icy blue light contained in the pair of vertical pupils made it difficult for him to even look at them.

　"Speaking of which, what do you think of those Yanxia people?" Alice started talking.

　"Yanxia people?" William thought for a moment, then shook his head. "To be honest, I rarely interact with Yanxia people. Even before the fall of the Academy City, I rarely went to East City District. They always gathered in groups, speaking Yanxia language, and I couldn't understand what they were saying at all."

　"I'm referring to the assistance they provided us after the war," Alice added.

　"Ah, about that," William said, gently stroking his chin. "Honestly... it's hard to understand. Unlike the Messina people, whose aid was motivated by strong intentions, the Yanxia people are simply... overly generous. Even when the dragon's movement zone was approaching the shipping lane, they still dispatched their fleet to deliver resources without hesitation. It strikes me as a bit overly enthusiastic."

　"Isn't this kind of enthusiasm bad?" Vivian asked.

　"Don't get me wrong, I think it's been a huge help to us, but... this kind of unrequited love always makes me feel... uneasy."

　William shook his head, then smiled appropriately:

　"However, we don't have any particularly good solutions at the moment, since..."

　Just then, a dragon howl came from afar.

　Vivian immediately stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet.

　She listened quietly to the dragon's howl. After a moment, she turned to look at Alice:

　"Erum told me that the dragon

　The swarm is roaring on the Ocean of Storms!"

　"They'll collide with us head-on soon!"

　PS: Happy birthday to me!

Chapter 381: Clouds on the Sea (Part 4) -4k- (Monthly Ticket Plus x2)

　On the sea, Bai Ling suddenly turned her head and looked at the distant horizon.

　"What's wrong?" Aurora turned around and asked.

　"The sea is roaring," Ghost whispered. "A storm is coming."

　Aurora nodded and continued to deal with the grilled fish in her hand.

　Seeing this, Xingmo took a sip of coconut milk and asked:

　"what happened?"

　"The dragon is coming," Aurora said.

　"Can we drive them away?" Xingmo asked, "Use the Tree of Life."

　“We’re already trying,” Aurora said.

　At some point, a faint green light began to float in the air, heading towards the distant horizon.

　After a long moment, Aurora shook her head.

　"These dragons...are a little different..."

　"no the same?"

　"Well, they are not intimidated by the power of the Tree of Life and are still approaching us."

　Life that is not intimidated by the Tree of Life... Xing Mo frowned and said:

　"This means they are not afraid of losing their lives. Does that mean..."

　"I haven't felt the power of the curse," Aurora shook her head. "Even if I did, don't forget that the Lost Kingdom is in my hands now. It shouldn't disobey."

　"That's some equally powerful force," Xing Mo nodded, "the power from the East."

　She turned to look at Bai Ling and patted her shoulder:

　"Bai Ling, it's time to speed up. We need to catch up with the Academi. They may need support."

　"no problem."

　Bai Ling nodded, and her body turned into a light breeze and dissipated.

　At the same time, Xingmo felt that the surroundings were blocked by an invisible barrier, forming a bubble to shield the sea water.

　The next second, the storm narwhal dived into the sea and sailed at high speed on the seabed.

　"~~~"

　In the deep sea, Bai Ling sings whale songs, and the water strings vibrate.

　One after another, the storm narwhals were inspired and joined Bai Ling's team.

　They're heading towards the storm!

　Academi.

　"Everyone! Standby! We're heading into a storm!"

　After passing through the Messina-Eru Desert Strait, the ironclad ship sailed out of the Intermediate Sea and was faced with the vast Ocean of Storms.

　The Storm Ocean's welcome gift to this brand new ironclad ship was a massive storm.

　"boom----"

　The wind was howling, thunder was flashing among the gray clouds, and the raging sea was like a mad lion, with huge waves a hundred meters high rolling.

　The scales on the ironclad ship's body opened and closed repeatedly, red light flowed through the gaps, and long white mist was dragged on the scorching sea surface.

　"Boom!"

　Thunder roared, rain poured down, and huge waves slammed against the ship, causing violent collisions from time to time.

　On the bridge, Alice and Vivian opened the door and walked to the observation deck.

　William was looking out the window with a solemn expression.

　"How's it going?" she asked.

　"The psychic radar shows that multiple high-intensity spirits are approaching us," William replied. "We expect to engage them in three minutes."

　"Is there a chance of winning?" Vivian asked.

　"We'll find out soon enough."

　William took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted to the staff on the bridge:

　"Activate the Starlight Barrier! Wind String Shockproof Value 3,600, Fire String Turbine to Maximum."

　"Full speed ahead! We're going straight through the dragons!"

　Following his order, the Academi roared like a giant beast that had awakened. The steam alchemy engine inside the ship was working frantically, and different lights such as fire strings, wind strings, and star strings flashed through the bronze pipes from time to time, transmitting the power of nature to all parts of the ship.

　As the steel scales on both sides of the hull unfolded, the wind pressure created by the wind chords echoed between the scales, maintaining the stability of the hull among the huge waves.

　At the same time, starlight flowed along the armor made of mystical alloy, quickly forming a layer of shield on the surface, reducing the shock to the hull in the huge waves.

　For a moment, Alice felt as if she was walking on flat ground, as if she was not on an ironclad ship sailing in a storm.

　"That's amazing..." she muttered.

　These are all string magics that are performed without the help of wizards, but rely on those magical steam engines.

　"Putting aside the crimes committed by Lucius Phillips," William shouted over the clamor, "his talent in the field of steam alchemy machines is enough to put him ten years ahead of the rest of the world!"

　"This is his masterpiece! Mankind's masterpiece!"

　"Boom!"

　Amidst the violent storm, the ironclad ship cut through the waves like a sharp sword, leaving long trails of white mist on both sides.

　It headed straight for the source of the storm with unstoppable force.

　""

　Finally, amidst flashes of thunder, all the instrument panels on the bridge lit up.

　"coming!"

　Along with William's shout, with a "boom", a huge shadow rushed out from the sea and coiled in the air.

　Its appearance was accompanied by roaring waves, and the waves turned into waterspouts under the rotation of its snake-like body, making its outline blurred.

　After curling up to the highest point, the giant creature fell straight towards the Academi, its body whistling like a

　A strong wind.

　"Fire!" William ordered.

　“BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—”

　The fire string cannon tore through the rain curtain, and the first round of bullets hit the giant's head accurately. It let out a roar and fell into the sea.

　Then, one after another, huge figures emerged from the sea and rushed straight into the sky. As they appeared, waterspouts were generated among the waves, causing the ironclad ship to shake slightly.

　This time, Alice finally saw the true appearance of the giant creature coiling in the air like a snake:

　Its slender, snake-like body was covered in gray scales, and its giant crocodile-like head was covered in barbs. A pair of scarlet eyes flickered between those barbs, like lava in the depths of the ocean.

　Its body is covered with fins arranged in different arrangements at intervals. When the animals jump out of the water, the fins vibrate continuously. The frequency of the vibration excites the wind strings, allowing them to travel by wind.

　"Jiao (a type of dragon) is a species of fish. When there are 3,600 fish in a pond, a Jiao (a type of dragon) comes to be its leader. It can lead the fish to fly and place them in a basket in the water, and then the Jiao will leave."

　The old man's voice came from the side. Alice turned around and saw Mr. Cha and Miss Ruan walking towards her together.

　"This is the first time I've seen a dragon," Alice murmured.

　"They are the embodiment of storms, elevated from marine creatures with dragon bloodlines. Their status in the Storm Ocean ecosystem is similar to that of the Storm Narwhals in the Intermediate Sea..."

　Amidst the chaos, Mr. Cha appeared unusually calm:

　"However, it seems that our dragon friend seems to be a little irritable."

　"Obviously, it's because I'm on the boat," Ruan Lili said, hands on her hips. "Send them to hell!"

　“Boom—boom boom boom boom—”

　Round after round of barrages were fired after aiming, and each shot caused the ironclad ship's body to tremble slightly, and more steam spewed out from between its scales.

　The attacking dragons, wave after wave, were forced to retreat by the barrage of bullets. With blood and flesh splattering, the headless dragon bodies fell to the bottom of the sea.

　Obviously, they are no match for the Academi ironclad ship!

　The ironclad ship shuttled through the waves dyed red by dragon's blood. The waves and strong winds stirred up by the dragon could not hurt it at all.

　At this moment, the mighty power of nature succumbed to human creations!

　Cheers came from the bridge. The defeat of the powerful enemy boosted everyone's morale, and they manipulated the parameters of the Academi more accurately.

　Amid the sea of ​​cheers, Vivian was the first to notice something unusual.

　"The wyrms show no intention of retreating," she whispered. "They are expressing the same intention... Yes! They are ready to pursue!"

　"This is suicide..." Alice stroked her chin, "But why?"

　In the sonata of the storm, the outlines of dragons were winding on the sea, and huge waves and dragon bodies kept crashing towards the Academi.

　They disintegrated and exploded under the fire string of the naval guns, but they showed no fear at all.

　"An ancient saying in Yanxia says that after five hundred years, a water viper transforms into a dragon..." Mr. Cha gazed calmly out the window. "Aquatic beings with dragon bloodlines must go through years of trials and tribulations before they can finally transform into dragons."

　"These aren't pure-blooded dragons... they're fakes."

　"Fake?" Vivian seemed to have grasped the key word.

　"Miss Vivian should have similar feelings, right?" Ruan Lili said casually nearby. "Do you think that thing is one of our kind? It's just a beast without any spiritual awareness!"

　"Dragons are magnificent and extraordinary species! They are the perfect combination of spiritual knowledge and natural power. How could they be such wild creatures?"

　There is no doubt that Ruan Lili is right.

　Vivian didn't think those dragons were her own kind. Even a giant dragon like Erum, known as a "dragon servant", had spiritual awareness.
