Chapter 597 Giant monsters everywhere

"Set off!"

Under the noon sun, a huge airship twenty feet long slowly took off into the sky. The wind magic array on the airship flashed. The airship's lift-off acceleration relied entirely on these wind magic formations.

Li Mu stood on the deck and watched Sifang Island slowly move away behind him. Sifang Island was only more than fifty kilometers away from the nearest land, but it was one or two hundred kilometers away from Qinghu Fortress. This two hundred kilometers was more than one hundred kilometers away. It is water and land, and the rest is land. Qinghu Fortress was not built directly on the water's edge. It was still a certain distance away from the water's edge.

Qinghu Fortress is further away from Liberty City, with a straight-line distance of more than 200 kilometers. If you go by land around the lake, the distance will increase.

Qinghu itself is a giant lake. After the Great Change of Heaven and Earth, the water of the lake surged. A large amount of lake water gushes out from the ground. The expansion of the lake to the surrounding areas lasted for a full year. Although Qinghu is not as big as the Bohai Sea, it is already half the size of the province. Big, now the lake is actually an inland sea.

In order to suppress the water monsters in Qinghu Lake, the Qinghu Fortress was built in the mountain city. However, Qinghu Fortress is not the only one surrounding this giant lake. There are other fortresses around Qinghu Lake.

The speed of the airship is not very fast. It will take at least three days to get from Qinghu Fortress when it is fully loaded. This is without interference. If the weather is good, once the weather is bad or it is interfered with, it will take even longer.

However, if it is an empty ship, it will only take more than a day to make a trip. Under normal circumstances, the airship will bring supplies from Qinghu Fortress, and then bring it back to Qinghu Base with some ore from Sifang Island.

There is a kind of water spirit stone abundant in the water around Sifang Island. This water spirit stone contains abundant water power of the Five Elements. It can help practice the Five Elements Taoism. It can also be used to refine certain special metals and use this metal to refine water magic weapons. It is a very useful ore.

This airship transported ammunition, food and various infrastructure materials, and then returned full of water spirit stones. These water spirit stones were also excavated by the civilians at the Sifang Island base. The civilians had food, clothing, and food conditions on Sifang Island. Pretty good, only slightly worse than the regular army, but the work is quite dangerous.

This is the situation these days. There is nothing you can do to earn a living in peace. Even if you want to go to jail and make a living, it is impossible. Going to jail these days is a luxury.

Li Mu stood on the deck and looked at the lake where water monsters were constantly appearing. The airship could not fly too high and could only fly about a hundred meters above the surface of Qinghu Lake. However, with the defensive formation activated, this was enough to avoid most Qinghu Lake. The lake monster is harassing us, and those giant fish and prawns in the lake cannot capsize the boat with just one tail.

Except for a few people on the deck who were on guard, most of the soldiers from the motley army were lying on the deck lazily basking in the sun. The airship's defensive array was quite powerful, and it was flying in the sky. The airship was attacked every year. The probability is only one-third, and the probability of sinking is only one-tenth. This probability is quite safe now.

As Sifang Island gradually turned into a small black spot, the airship flew smoothly. Except for two harpies that collided with the airship's defensive formation and turned into two balls of fire, there were basically no problems.

The first day was uneventful, but on the second night, a gust of wind gradually formed from the lake. The wind howled and made the sails on the airship rattle. This was not a tailwind but a headwind. The airship was traveling at a very high speed. Significantly slower.

"Captain, Qinghu Fortress has sent a warning. There is a storm forming in front of us!" The captain received the warning from Qinghu Fortress and hurried to the deck to report to Nangong Mingyue. Anyway, Nangong Mingyue is currently flying. The highest-ranking person on the airship.

"Did the monsters do it or did it occur naturally?" Nangong Mingyue asked impatiently.

"This is not clear yet!" the captain said hesitantly. Some monsters can call the wind and rain, affecting the weather in a place. Even if it rains heavily, it may be caused by a sudden change in the weather and formed naturally, or it may be caused by the monster clan.

"Open all defensive formations, slow down!" Nangong Mingyue ordered impatiently, then kicked away a motley soldier who was sleeping not far away, and shouted impatiently, "Idiots, wake up these idiots." , prepare to be on alert!”

The soldier from the motley army was suddenly kicked awake and opened his mouth to curse, but when he saw clearly that the person who kicked him was Nangong Mingyue, the guy suddenly became excited and trotted away quickly.

Nangong Mingyue can not only kick him, but also kill him with just one word.

"Alert, alert!"

A piercing siren soon sounded in the airship, and several huge sails were immediately lowered. A transparent energy shield protected the airship, which was the protective cover on the airship.

Loud curses rang out from the airship, and many members of the motley army were driven into combat positions.

"What happened?" Li Mu was closing his eyes in the cabin, preparing for the thirteenth level of the golden bell. When he heard the piercing alarm sound coming from outside, Li Mu opened the door and walked out. He happened to meet a face Strange Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng is in the cabin opposite.

"It seems that there is a storm. This is normal. The weather here in Qinghu is changeable. It was sunny just a moment ago, and then it was violent storms in the next moment. This is so normal. I will continue to sleep!"

Wei Zheng looked outside, then returned to the cabin and closed the door. Li Mu vaguely saw a naked thigh exposed in Wei Zheng's room. There was a woman in this guy's cabin.

Relying on pills to increase your realm and not working hard to eliminate impurities and solidify your foundation, no wonder you were thrown here by Wei's Trading Company.

Li Mu glanced at him and walked outside the cabin.

As soon as Li Mu stepped onto the deck, he saw the airship plunging into a thick black cloud. There was lightning and thunder in the dark cloud, and it was a thick cumulonimbus cloud.

As soon as they entered the cumulonimbus clouds, thunder and lightning continued to bombard the protective cover of the airship. The protective cover kept flashing, and even sparks occasionally appeared.

There was a strong wind on the lake, and the strong wind stirred up huge waves. The waves rolled, and soon heavy rain fell. The raindrops hit the airship hard, causing the airship to make intensive flapping sounds.

Dark clouds boiled with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain pounded hard. Outside the airship, it looked like the end was about to come.

Huge waves were rolling under the airship, and the water waves were getting higher and higher, even as if they were about to hit the airship that was struggling to move forward.

The weather here in Qinghu is changeable, but such severe weather is very rare.

"It's strange, why are the wind and waves so big today!" The captain tried hard to control the direction of the airship and looked at the side of the ship with a frightened face. If the airship was sailing on the lake, he might have been blown up by the huge waves. flipped.

"Wow!"

At this moment, a monstrous wave of water appeared. The wave actually lifted up to a height of a hundred meters and hit the airship hard.

"Bang!"

The airship swayed violently, and a lake water spread directly in. Some fish and shrimps even fell directly on the deck with the water waves, twisting their bodies crazily.

Li Mu looked carefully at the dark clouds that were as thick as ink, and he was keenly aware of the evil spirit contained in the dark clouds. This storm did not appear naturally, but was caused by a water demon.

"There's something under the boat!"

Li Mu turned his energy to his eyes, looked directly under the airship, and saw a huge black shadow looming in the turbulent Qinghu Lake.

"Miss, there is a big demon. Come into the cabin quickly!" The old servant Wu Jiang immediately rushed to Nangong Mingyue's side and guarded Nangong Mingyue vigilantly. Everyone on this airship could die, but only Nangong Mingyue. Nothing can happen.

"It's just a little demon, what's so big about it!" Nangong Mingyue said impatiently, "Prepare the cannon on the ship, fire for me!"

Nangong Mingyue has never encountered real danger since she was a child. When the world changed, she was still young and could not remember the terror of monsters. In addition, the Nangong family has its own inheritance. Even if the world changes, she will be the first to take advantage of it. The plane was in no danger at all.

This resulted in Nangong Mingyue's personality of having eyes that are higher than the top. This is the case for people who have never suffered a loss.

"What on earth is that?" Wei Zheng, Ou Yezi, and Poisonous Man Luo Zheng heard the noise and rushed over immediately, looking down.

"Hiding under the water, you can't see clearly!"

Everyone tried hard to see clearly, but the water monster was hiding under the water and could not see clearly at all. They could only vaguely see that the water monster was very huge and looked like a small island hidden under the water.

"fire!"

At this moment, the motley soldiers on the airship adjusted the position of the gun muzzle and aimed down the ship, but Li Mu's expression suddenly changed.

"Don't fire yet!"

Li Mu yelled, this water monster may not be their opponent, but obviously this water monster is not easy to mess with. Once it is attacked, Li Mu is not afraid of it on the Qing Lake, but it may be difficult to save the airship.

Although the monster is making trouble now, it has not directly attacked the airship. If the airship does not take the initiative to attack, the monster may not attack the airship. The current mission of the airship is transportation, not warships. If there is no No need to attack this monster at all.

After all, there are endless monsters in Qinghu, but there are countless airships in Qinghu Fortress.

"Hmph, coward, shoot me!"

Nangong Mingyue glanced at Li Mu with disdain, and directly ordered the gunfire in a loud voice.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A roaring sound rang out. The airship was different from the Sifang Island base. In order to ensure the maximum fire coverage density, the Sifang Island base basically used close-in defense guns and rapid-fire cannons, but the airship had different tasks. , the airships are basically equipped with naval guns.

The naval guns roared, and the shells poured out from the airship, hitting the water directly and setting off huge waves.

The high-explosive bombs fired by these naval guns were enough to blow up the mountain peaks, but when they landed on the huge monster under the lake, they seemed not to have much effect at all. Instead, they completely angered the water monster under the lake.

"Roar!"

An earth-shaking roar suddenly appeared from under the lake.
