After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 34 Sea Monster: Ice-toothed Sabretooth Fish
  The time of practice always flies by.

Ryan, who was immersed in the mystery of [Storm Sword Skill - Breaking Waves], was awakened by the shaking of the ship and the exclamations of the pirates outside the cabin.

Stopping what he was doing and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ryan rushed out of the room with a big wooden stick in hand, without even bothering to change into dry clothes.

Was the Stalker attacking?

The cool sea surface greets you, and the line between sea and sky in the distance glows with the soft sunlight approaching dusk.

After arriving on the deck, Ryan looked around and found no trace of the enemy ship. He was stunned, grabbed a pirate next to him, and quickly asked: "What happened?"

The bearded pirate who was caught by Ryan had a look of shock on his face, with a look of fear in his eyes: "Sir Ryan, it's a sea monster!"

"Sea monster?"

Ryan frowned slightly.

When he learned about the "Night Watch Path", he heard the name "Monster" for the first time, and "Sea Monster", as the name suggests, is a monster that lives in the sea.

The strength of sea monsters ranges from strong to weak, but the weakest ones are all first-order existences that are integrated with spirituality, making them difficult for non-professionals to deal with.

There are not many sea monsters, and even fewer sea monsters would choose to attack large ships.

A pirate ship without professional personnel often has to pay an extremely heavy price to drive away sea monsters.

Without asking any more questions, Ryan rushed to the edge of the deck and looked around.

Soon, he discovered the "sea monster".

It lurks under the sea surface, and what is exposed on the surface is a slightly curved and slender sharp dorsal fin.

The sea monster was very fast and was circling around the [Black Rose]. After more than ten seconds, it seemed to have found a suitable position. Its swimming speed suddenly accelerated and it hit the [Black Rose] straight away. come over.

The moment it broke out of the water, Ryan finally saw the full picture of this sea monster.

Its body is thick and strong, with a total length of seven or eight meters. Its dorsal and ventral surfaces are both blunt and rounded. It has a large head and a sharp sword-like snout at the front, which accounts for one-third of its total length! The tail peduncle is thick, the trailing edge of the tail fin is a wide crescent shape, and the whole body is glowing blue-purple. At this moment, swimming at high speed, it actually feels like lightning in the sea.

The sharp front end was like a sword cutting through the sea, glowing with a cold and harsh sheen.

This is a sea monster similar to a swordfish!

Ryan's expression changed.

This sea monster must not be allowed to attack the ship, otherwise a large hole will appear in the bottom of the ship and seawater will flood in, with disastrous consequences.

On the vast sea, once the ship sinks, everyone will die!
  But the speed of the swordfish sea monster was so fast that in a hurry, Ryan had no time to jump out of the boat to stop it.

Seeing that the sea monster was about to attack the bottom of the ship, at the critical moment, a light blue barrier appeared in front of the sea monster.

"Pong!"

A crisp collision sounded. Just hearing this sound made the pirates on the deck shrink their heads subconsciously. They felt the same pain and instinctively recalled the feeling of hitting something solid when they were young.

The light blue barrier shattered, and the sea monster flew out in pain, fell into the sea water, and dived into the sea for a while without emerging.

Ryan turned his head sharply and looked at Freni and Cecilia who had appeared at the edge of the deck at some unknown time.

The fluffy white and blue gradient witch hat swayed slightly in the sea breeze. The girl's pupils were glowing with light blue, and the fluorescent color under her eyes also lit up slightly.

Rushing forward in three steps and two steps at a time, Ryan came to Freni's side and said quickly: "Lady Freni, what is this?"

"First-order sea monster, ice-toothed saberfish."

"A very vengeful creature."

There was a hint of solemnity in Freni's voice: "It moves very fast in the water, and our ship will never be able to run past it, but generally speaking, Ice-toothed Sabretooth Fish will not actively attack large ships... …”

"Were you stimulated by something?"

Shaking her head, Freni stopped thinking about it, because not far away on the sea, the sharp dorsal fin belonging to the ice-toothed saber-tooth fish resurfaced on the surface of the sea.

"It must be solved!" Freni said in a condensed voice.

"Both of you are melee professionals and are not suitable to deal with this kind of sea monster. Leave it to me and you will be responsible for guarding and supporting it."

After saying that, Freni's figure fell like water and turned into a pool of dark blue liquid. Soon, the liquid disappeared on the deck. When she reappeared, she was already standing on the sea next to the "Black Rose" superior.

Under Freni's feet, the light blue energy eroded and assimilated the seawater, accentuating the girl's delicate body and preventing her from falling into the seawater.

Looking at the girl's back, Ryan's eyes fluctuated slightly. After returning from the place he traveled, his avatar successfully took up his job, and his own combat effectiveness has greatly increased, when Ryan saw Freni and Cecilia, the gray font prompt he saw still read, "This person's strength far exceeds yours. You must not do it." If you are too powerful, please stay away as soon as possible.”

This shocked him greatly.

Both are at the first level, but his spirituality is not inferior to that of a normal [first-level pirate] due to the effect of his talent [Soul of Another World].

But even so, facing the two women, the prompt given by the panel is still "invincible".

This is much more serious than the "heavy pressure" of the dragon-headed Cancer.

This means that Freni and Cecilia are far more powerful than the Dragon-headed Cancer!
  This made Ryan feel very uncomfortable.

As both first-level professionals, how could the gap be so huge?
  And with the general secret techniques and exclusive secret techniques introduced by Freni later, Ryan suddenly understood.

Thinking about it, Freni and Cecilia should have learned many secret techniques suitable for them, which made their combat power far beyond the same level.

Therefore, Ryan is very confident about Freni's strength. Even if a first-order sea monster takes advantage of the environment, there is a high probability that it will not be Freni's opponent.

At this moment, he was a little worried about whether the part of the hull that had been attacked by the ice-toothed saberfish had been damaged and leaked.

"Let's go check the lower cabin." After calling a few pirates to check, Ryan focused his attention on Freni's back again.

As time passed, the previously deflated Ice-toothed Sabretooth Fish could no longer hold back. After swimming around for a few times, it launched a sprint attack again, aiming directly at Freni on the sea.

When the distance between the two was less than ten meters, Freni raised her hand and made a virtual grasp.

The next time, a big hand made of a faint blue liquid actually grabbed a seven or eight-meter-long ice-toothed saber-tooth fish out of the sea water.

Ryan's eyes widened.

Is this the professional skill of [First-order Scholar]? No, it shouldn't be. It's more likely to be some kind of exclusive secret technique, or in other words, the special ability of the "Sea Witch"?

With just one blow, she took down the Ice-toothed Sabretooth. Freni's strength was overwhelmingly powerful against the first-order sea monster.

No wonder the gray font prompts that he is "invincible" against Freni.

Just when Ryan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, his pupils shrank.

The sea surface behind Freni suddenly exploded, and two more ice-toothed saber-tooth fish broke out of the water.

They hid under the deeper sea surface and launched a brazen attack while Freni was distracted.

"not good!"

Ryan's heart tightened.

At this moment, he felt a blur on his side.

"Ding--!"

Cecilia's figure suddenly appeared behind Freni, blocking the front of the two ice-toothed saber-toothed fish.

"so close!"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and truly realized the gap between himself and the two women.

He didn't even see clearly how Cecilia rushed behind Freni just now. With such a terrifying speed, it couldn't be easier to kill him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, [Black Rose] shook violently.

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly and he turned his head sharply to look at the ship on the other side.

I saw the front end of an ice-toothed saber-tooth fish piercing deeply into the hull.

The fourth ice-toothed sabertooth fish!

It actually took the opportunity of its partner's attack to launch an attack on the [Black Rose].

"Damn!"

Ryan's expression changed drastically. The damage to the hull would inevitably lead to water intrusion. If the ice-toothed sabertooth fish was allowed to continue attacking and expand the water inlet, everyone would definitely die.

Without any time to hesitate, Ryan jumped from the deck, grasped the big wooden stick with both hands, and smashed it on the head of the ice-toothed saber-toothed fish.
