PDLP Chapter 309 Everyone is Afraid
Chapter 309 Everyone is Afraid
During the conversation, there was already a commotion on the deck ahead.
Several messy magic spells exploded in the crowd for no reason, and the original formation was immediately disrupted.
Cries of panic and anger rang out one after another. The new defense barrier was no longer aimed at the sky. People were looking for the source of the chaos, and then they found out... the source came from their own team members.
The eyes of those people became blurred at some point, and the magic power escaping outward was stained with a strange dark green color, and the magic power eventually flowed to the algae roots in the center of the sea.
Their magic power is being controlled by the alien algae and is gradually turning into food.
After realizing this, the frontline personnel of the combat group immediately notified all members of the news, and the crew members who were controlled by the algae, like puppets driven by single-cell life, attacked their nearest companions straight away.
The battle on deck became more chaotic.
"Active period! From now on, suppress your magical perception!"
Someone shouted, and the magicians who were still rational switched their fighting style. The originally frantic magic bombardment suddenly became much more restrained, and most of them directly took up melee weapons and rushed forward to fight the sea monster.
After all, those crew members controlled by algae are also their teammates, so they naturally cannot kill them.
The skilled combat team consciously divided themselves into three factions. One faction, which was good at interference magic, dealt specifically with these crew members, binding and besieging them; the other faction, which was better at violent combat, dealt with the sea monsters that were in the way.
The ultimate mission of this battle has not changed, which is to destroy the algae mother root system.
The plan to approach the root system in small boats was no longer feasible because the danger level below the sea surface was the highest.
Soon, all the wind magicians were summoned together, and they quickly built an aerial wind field channel to move the battlefield to the sky.
The air is relatively safe. Apart from being wary of various attacks launched from the sea surface, the only thing you need to do is to defeat the storm jellyfish that block your way.
The mission of the third faction was also clear. They all stepped onto the air passage and moved closer to the root system in the center of the sea. Among them, the fire magicians rushed the fastest.
……
"It's not safe here, let's move." Ye Jiyan looked at the closed door and the floor below was shaking faintly.
Ying Youyou, who originally wanted to go out to help, immediately became timid after hearing his words.
At the same time, there were several dull knocks outside the door.
"Ah...!" Ying was so scared that she hid behind Ivy again.
The magical power of illusion flowed in the room, and after a while, the outside of the door seemed to become quiet.
There were always bursts of dull roars coming from below, but their floor seemed safe because Ye Jiyan walked over and opened the door.
"Let's go." His voice was very calm.
There was a man lying outside the door, seemingly asleep, but through magical perception, one could see that even in his coma, his magic was still slowly flowing into the sky, passing through layers of ceilings, and finally flowing into the algae roots.
Of course, Ivy couldn't see any of this. She could only recognize that this was a kind of dream magic similar to hypnosis based on the spellcasting method Ye Jiyan had just used.
"You won't become an enemy, will you?" Ivy asked.
They walked through the apparently quiet corridors, passing many sleeping people along the way.
The one who is most susceptible to the effects of algae is the illusion magician. The one who is more likely to get seasick than the illusion magician is the illusion magician who always uses magic perception.
Ying just breathed a sigh of relief, but then became timid again: "Do you want me to call Kabu out?"
If something goes wrong, we can suppress it by force.
"Hehe." Ye Jiyan smiled speechlessly. He really felt hostility behind him.
Although Ye Jiyan's mission here was to protect the two of them, he suddenly wanted to protect himself more.
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." He said mysteriously and continued to lead the way.
Perhaps it was because they never left the cabin and they didn't encounter any dangerous monsters along the way, and the dangerous people all fell asleep under the influence of hypnosis.
However, the occasional shaking from below was hard to ignore; it was clearly the sound of fighting.
Finally, Ying couldn't help but ask again: "What happened down there?"
Ye Jiyan turned around and smiled mysteriously: "Do you really want to know?"
He looked as if he was brewing some horror story, which made Ying feel creepy again.
Ying shook her head frantically again: "No, I don't want to."
……
Ivy looked at his back speechlessly.
He has an aura of mystery about him, and once he speaks in a veiled way, people will think in a serious way.
But this level can only scare Yingyouyou.
Ivy could tell that this was his revenge because Hotaru just wanted to summon Kabu to beat him up anytime.
"Is the situation down there still under control?" Compared to Yingyouyou's fear, Ivy was actually a little curious.
A sea monster chewed a hole in the bottom of the ship, and seawater poured back, bringing in many monsters. Most of the water magicians were down there, and they had to deal with the seawater while killing the monsters.
Ivy could only guess the general situation, but he still needed to experience the specific situation.
"It's controllable for now." His voice wasn't too nervous, "As long as the main forces can destroy the root system in time."
In other words, if things don't go well on the main battlefield, their ship will sink.
"..."
Doesn't this sound serious?
"Doesn't this sound serious?!" Ying was shocked again.
Ye Jiyan smiled again, adding some fear to the tense atmosphere.
If he hadn't known his true nature, Ivy suspected that he would have been contaminated by algae long ago.
After walking for a while, they finally reached the end.
This is a temporary medical area. Many people who were injured in the battle and those who were contaminated by algae in the battle were transferred here.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became lively, although most of the noise was wailing and strange sounds similar to the roars of zombies.
Ying couldn't bear to watch again.
"When they wake up, will they remember what's happening now?"
Some magicians who were contaminated by algae were even drooling with a stupid look on their faces.
“Hopefully they don’t remember.”
Ivy glanced at the crowd and saw an unexpected presence.
Following her line of sight, Ying also saw it, and she immediately waved her hand excitedly: "Teacher Elke——"
Elq was standing in front of a drooling patient and analyzing him. When she heard someone calling her, she immediately looked around.
"Oh! It's you!"
Elq came forward and asked about their situation.
Ying Youyou replied how terrifying the journey was, and most of the terror came from Ye Jiyan.
Then, Elq waved her hand in front of Ivy's eyes. "Why are you so surprised to see me? Didn't expect that? I'm still alive."
No one seemed to think she would die.
Ivy came back to his senses and explained, "I thought you would be at the forefront. After all, those roots are something you are very good at dealing with."
As one of the few wood magicians in the team, Elq finally encountered the only plant enemy in the ocean.
If those strange mother bodies with floating algae and growing roots can be called plants.
Hearing this, Elko poked her finger sheepishly.
"However, although……"
"Don't you think it's scary to stand in the air? I'm not afraid of heights, but when I think of the sea water below, I feel like I'm having a heart attack. What's that called?"
"Oh yes! Deep-sea phobia."
