Surviving The Fourth Calamity-Chapter 73 - 68 Pleasant Sea Voyage
73: Chapter 68: Pleasant Sea Voyage
73 -68: Pleasant Sea Voyage
Hill first summoned around a dozen Water Elementals and casually pulled two or three from his domain as well, instructing them to help communicate and completely cover the sailboat’s emanation of Magic Power with water vapor.
Hill sighed in admiration of the Skills that allowed the Elementals to return to the Elemental Realm and then come back to his side, truly finding them very useful.
He instructed Srei to use the Water Crystals as much as possible for the sailing ship’s propulsion and then took out the Alchemy Map.
After carefully verifying it with Srei and ensuring there were no issues, the blue and white sailboat was ready to set off.
A few hundred miles, if it were on land, they would arrive very quickly.
But Hill dared not travel that fast in the sea for fear of attracting the enormous Magical Beasts of the Deep Sea.
The Blue Whale was beautiful, but it was still quite terrifying up close.
In this world, the size of these creatures had expanded dozens of times.
The Ocean God System had not yet been established, and the sea monsters grew unrestrained in the sea.
The concentration of Water Elementals on land was far inferior to that in the sea, so Humans were not attacked as long as they did not enter the ocean.
To the sea monsters in the ocean, the Water Elementals were reliable allies and generally did not attack.
That’s why Hill dared to travel by boat, even just along the coast.
Magical Beasts are not wild beasts; the longer they live, the higher their Intelligence.
Many sea monsters had very large territories, and it was common for them to patrol up to the shore.
Although they did not come onto land, they were curious and always had some bumbling ones coming to look at the Human world.
Humans dared not build cities by the sea due to painful lessons in the past.
Although William likely had his eyes set on the ocean when he had Spencer take over that Alliance City from the players, ever since the players had expanded the city to the waterfront and built docks, no noble would voluntarily take over the city.
Having been in this Fantasy World for over a year now, the players still didn’t quite understand the survival Laws of the Fantasy World.
It would truly be a time of turmoil for the ocean once they became more familiar and a large number of Water Mages capable of summoning Water Elementals appeared.
Hill set up a lounge chair, a sofa, and a coffee table at the bow, sitting there to admire the beautiful seascape.
After leaving Saral’s windy spot, the sea breeze became much softer.
The dense Water Elementals might be suffocating for ordinary people, but Hill found it very comfortable.
Even though the Water Element inheritance was minimal in his body, Hill’s Magician physique still felt perfectly at ease like a fish in water.
The waves gently lapped against the bow, and the sailboat glided lightly forward, as nimble as Cohen skimming the waters ahead.
Hill enjoyed the cool sea breeze, looking up at the leisurely clouds above and down at the rippling wavelets.
The vast blue sea was indescribably comforting, the sunlight glimmering on the water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, giving Hill a sense of expansiveness and majesty.
The Water Elementals were bustling noisily around the ship, occasionally hopping aboard for a stroll.
The sounds of nature hummed gently beside him.
Hill closed his eyes, leaned back slowly, and drifted into a gentle slumber.
When Hill woke up, the boat had already quietly stopped in a hidden harbor.
The Water Elementals were running and playing everywhere in the harbor, aware that they would soon be sent back, so they were seizing the time to frolic.
Srei came over and asked, “Sir, this location is quite good, and it’s not far up to Haifasardo’s largest city in the north.”
Hill understood his meaning that they could leave a small outpost here if needed, as a few Water Elementals could hold it.
He shook his head, “No need.
By the time we return, William will have already taken over Haifasardo.
It’s said that the Undead Tribe has millions by now!”
“The coast won’t be peaceful for long either.
Since you say this spot is good, it will definitely be discovered.”
Srei nodded silently.
Just as Hill was about to take flight, a dull voice stopped him, “Mage, wait, don’t go yet.”
Hill looked out with a headache as the water in the bay churned and the huge waves crashed against the shore rocks, creating a deafening roar.
A massive creature surfaced.
He turned to Srei, “This really is a good location, everyone knows it.”
Srei quietly retreated— he had to return to the core and be fully on guard.
The ship gently floated into mid-air, and Hill quietly awaited the terrifying Magical Beast.
The only presence that he was completely unaware of could only be Legendary.
But since nature hadn’t sounded any alarms in his ear, he also had no need to worry.
He just needed to be careful with his words to avoid provoking a Magical Beast that originally bore no malice.
This was a Black Turtle, overall grey-black with olive-colored markings and four times the size of Hill’s sailing ship.
Hill took a careful look at its underside, a grey-green color— it was a very mature turtle.
The Black Turtle was almost entirely herbivorous, occasionally nibbling a few jellyfish, fish, or their eggs to vary its diet.
Hill completely relaxed, thankful it wasn’t a Leatherback Turtle.
The Black Turtle’s temperament was very good as long as there was enough food and it had no interest in meddling in other affairs.
“Hello, I am Hill,” Hill said respectfully, “We are passing by here to go to Haifasardo.
May I know what you needed by calling me?”
“That Undead Tribe you just mentioned, are they from that New God?
I heard they have a lot of people!” The Black Turtle spoke slowly, then suddenly realized, “Ah!
My name is Bex.
I rarely use my name and almost forgot it.”
Hill stayed calm and nodded, “Yes, very many indeed!”
“Will they disturb me?
The seaweed here is quite tasty; I’ve been eating here for three years.”
Hill found it a bit troubling: It’s not just about being disturbed, is it?
A Legendary Magical Beast could attract tens of thousands of players to stack for a boss.
