Chapter 57 Sea of ​​Smoke

Two days later, five warships led by Belleris headed for the Valyria Peninsula.

The summer sea was sparkling, the warm sea breeze gently brushed the sails, the sea water was deep blue, as if it was integrated with the sky, and the white clouds were reflected on the sea, like a dream.

However, when the fleet entered the Sea of ​​Smoke, the scenery suddenly changed.

The sky here was gloomy and depressing, and the heavy dark clouds seemed to be pressing down at any time. The sea was filled with strange fog, making the vision blurred.

The Sea of ​​Smoke, a mysterious and dangerous sea.

According to records, hundreds of years ago, this place experienced the Doomsday Catastrophe of Valyria.

That terrible disaster caused the earth to crack, flames to soar into the sky, and the boiling magma raged like a torrent, and the whole world seemed to fall into an endless hell.

On the day of the Doomsday Catastrophe, it seemed as if the end of the world had come. Hundreds of miles around the Valyria Peninsula erupted at the same time, and endless ashes, smoke and flames gushed into the sky like violent demons.

The hot and hungry flames spread rapidly, and even the powerful dragon flying in the sky was burned by the raging fire.

The earth trembled violently, and the cracks were like the mouth of the abyss, ruthlessly engulfing the palaces, solemn temples and bustling towns that Valyria was proud of.

The once sparkling lake water instantly boiled and evaporated, or turned into a pool of highly corrosive acid.

The fourteen peaks of the lava volcano on the Valyrian Peninsula erupted with a destructive force, and the hot lava sprayed high into the sky, as if to ignite the sky.

Countless dragon crystals poured down from the red clouds like a rainstorm, carrying deadly danger and mysterious power.

In the north of Valyria, the earth collapsed and shattered, and the scene was like the Last Judgment.

The surging sea water poured in and filled the sunken land. This disaster tore the land around the city of Valyria into countless small islands. These small islands were filled with strange smoke, forming the terrifying sea of ​​smoke.

The fleet slowly sailed in the sea of ​​smoke and stopped when it was about to approach the ruins of Valyria.

The Bellerys, on which Gavin was riding, continued to sail into the depths of the sea of ​​smoke, and the other ships stayed behind to support.

As the Bellerys gradually went deeper into the sea of ​​smoke, the fog began to become thicker, but some traces of the ruins of Valyria could be vaguely seen gradually appearing on the shore, and the surrounding scene became more terrifying and gloomy.

The two banks were full of decayed scenes, and the withered vegetation drooped dryly on the cracked land.

From time to time, there were some bubbling corrosive acid beaches on the ground, sizzling and emitting a disgusting pungent smell. The thick fog was like a heavy curtain, covering everything in it, making it difficult to see the way forward.

In the depths of the mist, the roar of monsters came from time to time, as if it was a roar from hell, which was creepy. The voice was sometimes low, as if telling endless pain; sometimes sharp, as if warning the intruder.

Every roar cast a shadow on the hearts of the crew, and fear spread among the crowd like a plague.

On the second day of sailing in the sea of ​​smoke, some of the crew on the ship began to feel unwell. They were pale, their eyes were scattered, their bodies kept shaking, and the horses in the cabin became irritable, and even one horse bit the crew who was feeding them.

Gavin also felt physical discomfort, as if there was some kind of power in the air corroding his body, and he had to constantly consume the magic power in his body to resist.

Feeling the corrosion of the unknown power, Gavin made a prompt decision and distributed the prepared potion to the crew. After taking the potion, the magic power brought by the potion relieved the symptoms of the crew, but the discomfort was still there.

Gavin knew that he had to hurry up. If he stayed here for too long, the potion would no longer work.

As the ship approached the destination, it slowly approached the shore. Suddenly, a huge wave rose up on the calm water without any warning, and a three-meter-tall monster rushed out of the water and jumped onto the deck of the Belleris with his hands and feet.

The monster was huge and covered with sticky liquid. Its front claws were like sharp scimitars, flashing a strange luster in the dim light. Its teeth were sharp like saw teeth and very dense, exuding a chilling breath.

The monster pounced on the sailors on the ship at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a shrill roar, and instantly tore a sailor into pieces. Blood splashed in the air and dyed the deck red.

The other sailors screamed in fear and fled in all directions. Fear filled the entire ship. Their eyes were full of despair and helplessness, as if they had seen their own death.

Seeing this scene, several blood dragon guards quickly came forward.

But in the first battle with the monster, they were defeated for a while.

Every attack of the monster was with the force of thunder and lightning, and the Blood Dragon Guards tried their best to resist, and the swords and swords collided, splashing sparks.

Gavin, who heard the movement, came to the deck and stood in the distance to observe silently, secretly surprised in his heart that the power of this monster was far greater than that of the Blood Dragon Guards.

Its movements were agile and fierce, and every attack was full of deadly threats. But as the Blood Dragon Guards cooperated with each other and formed a siege, the monster gradually fell behind.

After a fierce battle, the Blood Dragon Guards successfully chopped the monster into pieces and killed it completely.

Gavin approached the body of the monster and observed it carefully.

I saw that its front claws were sharp and extremely long, which could easily tear armor, and its hind claws were thick and powerful, and it could even stand when attacking.

It has no skin, and its flesh and blood are exposed directly, as if it has been corroded by strong acid, showing a disgusting color. The twisted face and hideous and dense fangs are chilling.

Gavin guessed that the previous expedition team might have been attacked by this kind of thing. It seems that the danger comes not only from the ruins on land, but also from the sea.

In the following voyage, Gavin did not encounter any monsters, but the people on the ship were still nervous and terrified.

Finally, on the third day of the voyage, the Belleris arrived at the destination, but the draft was too deep to get too close to the shore.

Gavin did not hesitate at all. In addition to leaving a few blood dragon guards in the cabin, he took the rest of the blood dragon guards and the horses that could still be controlled on the boat and rowed towards the shore.

On the boat, Gavin looked at the surrounding environment, and his vigilance was not reduced at all.

The atmosphere in the ruins of Valyria was extremely depressing, as if even the air had become heavy.

The trees on the shore were twisted and deformed, as if struggling in pain.

The decayed building was crumbling, as if it would collapse at any moment.
