Chapter 259 - 241 The Legendary Leviathan_2
Bato said in a deep voice, "Friend, what do you think?"
Holy cow! Are you asking me if we should retreat or retreat or retreat? Even though anyone with a brain can tell this sea monster guarding the Bone Dragon must be ridiculously strong, we at least need to witness it first, right? Wait! It’s not uncommon for animals like a Flying Eagle to be in danger, but my Blood Eagle Flute is a Spiritual Eagle, so it shouldn’t be in trouble, right?
Da Fei immediately took out the long-lost Blood Eagle Flute, "General, allow me to scout ahead."
Bato nodded solemnly, "It’s all on you."
He clicked to use it, and the long-lost Spiritual Eagle soared into the sky. Da Fei’s field of view expanded, taking in the entire ice ocean from a bird’s-eye view. Da Fei controlled the Spiritual Eagle to fly towards the misty front. Closer, closer, Da Fei faintly saw a black silhouette spewing clouds and mist! Holy cow! Does Skira have this move too? Is this the mark of a high-level sea monster?
The Spiritual Eagle flew into the fog and saw it!
A black, gigantic crocodile-like creature sleeping on the ice! Wait, it had two pairs of long, sharp horns on its head, a dozen long, fleshy tentacles on its belly, and the mist was spewing from its nostrils! And there was a faint fiery glow in its nostrils! Holy cow, how does a sea monster breathe fire? What on earth is this dragon-like crocodile thing?
In his shock, the Spiritual Eagle’s usage time ended, and it disappeared. Da Fei was stunned on the spot.
Bato asked, "Friend, what did you discover?"
Da Fei said in astonishment, "I discovered a creature that can spew mist..."
After hearing Da Fei’s description, Bato’s face changed dramatically, "Friend, perhaps we should retreat. If I’m not mistaken, this fire-breathing, mist-spewing sea monster is the legendary Leviathan!"
Da Fei was taken aback, "An eighth-level creature Leviathan?"
Bato said seriously, "That’s right. Legend has it that God created the world in seven days, and on the sixth day, he specifically made two giant beasts. The male was the Bimong, known as the desert dominator, and the female was the Leviathan, known as the ocean dominator. When doomsday comes, mortals must capture these two giant beasts as offerings to God. Although they’re offerings meant for release, the fact that the Leviathan was personally created by God means its status is much higher than that of an angel!"
—System Prompt: You have obtained information about an eighth-level creature, Leviathan!
Da Fei was shocked speechless! My goodness, this is a Divine Beast! This is the second time we’ve gathered information on a Leviathan in the game; the first time was in the Artillery Commander’s diary! It also spewed clouds and mist, chasing the ship, but his description was as big as an island?
Da Fei exclaimed in surprise, "But its size is much smaller than the sailors’ legends, and it can sleep on ice?"
Bato sighed, "It must be a juvenile! Just like those Jade Dragons in the Elf Kingdom, once they mature, they become as big as an island. However, no one in the world has discovered a Leviathan as big as an island yet. Only the resource-rich New World could possibly nourish such a giant beast, but encountering a Leviathan here is really unexpected. I think it must have been attracted by the dead giant dragon’s nutrients. Even if it’s a juvenile, its strength is beyond ordinary sea monsters."
At this moment, Alicia also spoke, "It’s said that Leviathans are arrogant and vicious, and they will relentlessly hunt down intruders who trespass in their territory."
Bato sighed, "So while there’s still time, we should retreat." Then he shook his head and let out a long sigh.
Retreat? Holy cow! Didn’t Makar blast it back with a single Fireball? It’s not invincible after all, so why should we be afraid of a juvenile? This is a high-level sea monster; it must be on par with Skira, maybe even half a level higher! Who knows what rewards we’ll get once we take it down! A Divine Artifact? Absolutely!
Bato has always been decisive, and the fact that he’s hesitating means he actually wants to stay, right? Afraid that the casualties will be too great and affect his reputation? Holy cow, fine, I don’t care about reputation; I’ll take the blame!
Da Fei quickly whispered, "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we give up now, we won’t stand a chance against it later!"
Bato’s eyelids twitched, "How do we attack? Its sharp horns are even stronger than a narwhal’s, and not even the Flame Lord can withstand its attack! While we are at its mercy."
Alicia chuckled and said, "Can the prow of the Flame Lord withstand its attack?"
Bato asked in surprise, "The prow? The prow is where the ice-breaking ram is installed; no sea monster would be foolish enough to ram the prow!"
Alicia nodded and said solemnly, "Other sea monsters might not, but the Leviathan is so arrogant that it might actually ram into it!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, "Your idea is—Transformation?"
Alicia laughed heartily, "Precisely! We should transform the Flame Lord into a giant octopus, and this Leviathan will definitely attack. Moreover, its target is a soft-bodied animal, so it will charge full speed without any worries. By the time it realizes it’s an illusion, it’ll be too late! Then, our Flame Lord will suddenly accelerate and ram it; isn’t it afraid of crashing?"
Da Fei was invigorated! Holy cow! Awesome!
Bato’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "Can it work?"
Alicia said seriously, "Let’s gamble!"
Bato laughed heartily, "We dwarves love gambling above all else! Alright! Let’s bet!"
...
Now, under the flagship’s command, the other ships were retreating along the way they came, trying to stay out of Leviathan’s warning view. Should the plan fail and the flagship sink, they might still have a chance to escape. As for rescuing, forget about it.
The Flame Lord now moved slowly towards the fog, and suddenly, a red light exploded on Da Fei’s screen!
—System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! You are about to enter a powerful enemy’s warning range!
Now’s the time! Transformation begins, let’s form the head!
—System Prompt: You activated the God-level Reconnaissance Technique skill, "Phantom March"!
—System Prompt: Captain Bato activated the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill, "Ambush"!
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has cast God-level Arcane Magic "Giant Octopus Transformation" on your ship!
Da Fei’s vision blurred again, and the scene suddenly expanded, with the legendary gigantic "Kleegen" appearing magnificently!
This time, the Kleegen was different from before; the General’s supporting skills and Alicia’s skills had all advanced!
And at this moment, a flame shot up from the mist, a gigantic roar echoed across the ice ocean, and a black lightning bolt shot out of the fog, charging towards the giant octopus in the sea!
Such a shocking momentum left all the dwarf warriors on board so terrified that they covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound. Watching its agile figure darting across the water, Da Fei and the others were dumbfounded with shock!
My goodness, it’s walking on water!
