In Chapter 590 sea monster(s) sea level, a color dark red sea boat goes all out to navigate, behind is a black ship is in hot pursuit, if not the black spider flag that on the garnet sailing ship flutters, no one thinks that this was pursued the ship that flees like a scared rat, unexpectedly is Sea of Death notorious pirate ship Hei Zhu. 第590章海妖海面上,一艘色彩暗红的海船拼命地航行着,后面是一艘黑色的船紧追不舍,如果不是暗红色帆船上飘扬的黑色蜘蛛旗帜,谁都不会想到,这艘被追得抱头鼠窜的船,竟然是死亡之海臭名昭著的海盗船黑蛛号。 Hei Zhu the captain Joseph's cold sweat air-dried by the sea breeze, but heart thinks with amazement has met a big fat sheep, cannot think that is one stretches out Giant Dragon of fang unexpectedly! 黑蛛号的船长约瑟的冷汗已经被海风吹干,但心头的骇然原本以为遇到了一只大大的肥羊,想不到竟然是一头伸出獠牙的巨龙 Now the iron hook number and blood moon/month number have been annihilated, Joseph also had least bit formerly delusion again, did not have what the thoughts of revenge, only then a thought that ran away! 现在铁钩号与血月号已经全军覆没,约瑟再也有半点先前的妄想,也没有什么复仇的心思,只有一个念头,逃! Does not run away, two wreckage both sink to the Seabed ship to learn from another's mistakes! 再不逃,两艘残骸都沉入海底的船就是前车之鉴! The first mates reported panic-stricken: Captain! Although behind that ship has not been familiar to appearance of the water and wind direction change we, but holds the ship is also the expert, this way cannot throw off, front is the sea monster(s) region, what to do?” 大副惊慌失措地来报告:“船长!后面那艘船虽然对水势和风向变化没我们熟悉,但操船的也是老手,照这样下去根本甩不掉,前面已经是海妖的区域了,怎么办?” Joseph looks that the front flood light mist, is appearing intermittently the sea area of reef, clenches teeth: Faces forward! Do not stop! We can get rid of the enemy taking advantage of the hidden rock and dense fog, or can deal with these enemies using sea monster(s)!” 约瑟看着前方泛着淡淡雾气、隐现着礁石的海域,一咬牙:“朝前开!不要停!我们可以借着暗礁和迷雾摆脱敌人,或者还能利用海妖来对付那些敌人!” First mates one startled: „But if we bump into sea monster(s)... „” 大副一惊:“可是如果我们碰上海妖…“” less nonsense! Carries out my order!” On Joseph face shows fierce look, the blade in hand raises, the first mate receives an order to go hastily. 少废话!执行我的命令!”约瑟脸上露出狰狞的神色,手中的刀一扬,大副连忙领命而去。 Joseph is very clear this region danger(ous), but does this does not have the means that Magic Crystal Cannon of behind that ship was too fearful, once completes Cooldown to launch once more, Hei Zhu protection magic cannot block, is dies in any case, might as well draws the enemy to be buried along with the dead together. 约瑟很清楚这片区域的危险,但这样做也是没办法,后面那艘船的魔晶炮太可怕了,一旦完成冷却再次发射的话,黑蛛号的防护魔法根本挡不住,横竖也是个死,还不如拉敌人一起陪葬。 On Mandala Ship, Chen Rui saw that distant place Hei Zhu sailed to the sea area of that dense fog, asked: Mole, but also pursues?” 曼陀罗号上,陈睿看到远处的黑蛛号驶进了那片迷雾的海域,问道:“摩尔,还追不追?” Mole closed the eye response: This direction Water Element aura is richer, should be we go to the road which must be taken in Water Elemental habitat.” 摩尔闭上眼睛感应了一阵:“这个方向水元素的气息更加浓郁,应该是我们前往水元素人栖息地的必经之路。” Chen Rui nods: „, Continues to go forward.” 陈睿点点头:“那么,继续前进吧。” This region is a little strange I to feel that many hidden rocks, I have made sandmen control Speed first slightly, carries on discretely.” “这片区域有点古怪我已经感觉到了不少暗礁,我让砂人们先把速度稍微控制一下,谨慎进行。” If Hei Zhu of frightened person has crashed in the mist, this mist seems like thin bo, has very strong disturbance to the line of sight, formerly can also see the indistinct shadow, afterward was submerges in the mist to vanish unexpectedly does not see. 如惊弓之鸟的黑蛛号一头冲进了雾气之中,这雾气看似稀bo,对视线有非常强的干扰,先前还能看到隐隐绰绰的影子,后来竟是没入雾气中消失不见。 On Hei Zhu, sailors is a tense appearance controls the ships to go through behind one to have the fearful pursuing troops discretely, but front is similarly fearful sea monster(s), what now only hopes is the pursuing troops is unable to pursue under the hindrance of mist and hidden rock, one's own side can pass through dense fog escaped alive, premise, do not bump into sea monster(s). 黑蛛号上,水手们都是一副紧张的模样控制着船只谨慎地穿行一后面有可怕的追兵,而前面是同样可怕的海妖,现在唯一希望的是追兵在雾气和暗礁的阻碍下无法追赶,己方能穿越迷雾逃出生天,前提还有一个,别碰上海妖 At this time, the distant place heard a wisp of singing sound. 就在这个时候,远处传来一缕歌声。 This singing sound listens to have meaning of faintly recognizable nihility for the first time, completely relaxed, cannot bear want to stop to listen attentively, slightly when pays attention to listen thinks incomparably movingly, the entire mind and even the soul immerse in, is unable to extricate oneself. 这歌声乍听上去有种飘渺虚无的意味,令人心旷神怡,忍不住想要驻足倾听,略一留神听时更觉无比动人,整个心神乃至灵魂都沉浸其中,无法自拔。 Joseph's strength is Great Devil King peak-stage, has the one pace from Devil Sovereign, although was attracted by the singing sound, in the heart actually the instinct had a vigilance to work loose the enticement of that singing sound furiously, saw that crew all showed the infatuated facial expression, but entire ship already more and more close singing sound position, in great surprise. 约瑟的实力是大魔王巅峰,距离魔皇只有一步之遥,尽管被歌声所吸引,心中却本能地生出一种警觉来奋力挣脱了那种那种歌声的诱惑,就看到身旁的船员们个个露出痴迷的神情,而整艘船已经越来越接近歌声的位置,不由大惊。 Is the sea monster(s) singing sound! Do not listen, leaves here quickly!” “是海妖的歌声!别听,快离开这里!” Joseph's breathless roaring has not played the proper role, awakens besides several Spirit Force strong crew, the vast majority of people still sinks certainly Burmese in, cannot hear the reminder sound. 约瑟的气急败坏的吼叫并没有起到应有的作用,除了几个精神力较强的船员们惊醒外,绝大多数人依然沉缅其中,根本听不到提醒声。 Joseph was startled and anger brandishes a sword to chop several people, is still unable to make sailors sober, he kicked aside sailors that operated the rudder, oneself steered personally: May! Raising auxiliary sail! Teller! With rupturing the magic pump advances urgently! First escaped from this damn place to say again!” 约瑟又惊又怒挥刀砍了几个人,依然无法让水手们清醒,他一脚踢开掌舵的水手,自己亲自操舵:“洛可!升起辅帆!特勒!用爆裂魔法泵紧急推进!先逃出这片该死的地方再说!” That several people start to act hastily, however the beautiful singing sound lingers near the ear stops up the ear to be useless, the everybody look starts absent-minded Joseph to obloquy gradually is just about itself to start the urgent advancement, suddenly felt the ray tarnish. 那几个人连忙开始动作,然而优美的歌声萦绕在耳边就算堵住耳朵都没有用,众人的眼神又开始渐渐失神约瑟大骂着正要自己去开启紧急推进,忽然感觉到光线变暗了下来。 Joseph looks up, saw that the dense and numerous shadows appeared in the sky, was terror-stricken. 约瑟抬头一看,就看到密密麻麻的黑影出现在了上空,不由心胆俱裂。 Kicks dives toward Hei Zhu that the innumerable shadows of wing are blotting out the sky, calls out in alarm, trembles and calls out pitifully, as if the note in that moving music movement, soon, all return to tranquilly, only then sounds of nature singing sound melodiously as before. 扑腾着翅膀的无数影子铺天盖地的朝黑蛛号俯冲而下,惊呼、震颤、惨叫,仿佛那动人乐章中的音符,不久,一切归复宁静,只有天籁般的歌声悠扬依旧。 The dense fog as if there is special effectiveness, Chen Rui and Mole on Mandala Ship does not know the matter that Hei Zhu has, discretely is still trying to find out the advance. 迷雾似乎有中特别的效用,曼陀罗号上的陈睿摩尔并不知道黑蛛号发生的事情,依然在谨慎地摸索着前进。 Navigated, Chen Rui felt in the ear to broadcast a vague sound suddenly, seemed the singing sound, although vaguely, was having one type strange attracted 3 strength, making the person unable to bear want to hear to be clearer. 航行了一阵,陈睿骤然感觉到耳中传来一丝若有若无的声音,似乎是歌声,虽然依稀,却带着一种奇异的吸3力,使人忍不住想要听得更清楚。 Earth Element King reveals the color of understanding clearly: Originally here is their habitats......” 土元素君王露出了然之色:“原来这里是她们的栖息地……” Chen Rui is just about to ask, that singing sound gradually becomes clear, this sound is wonderful, but soul-stirring, although does not have the music to accompany, is exquisite like the sounds of nature. 陈睿正要开口询问,那歌声渐渐变得清晰起来,这声音美妙而动人心魄,虽然没有音乐伴奏,却如天籁般优美。 Chen Rui exclaimed in surprise this singing sound exquisite incomparable at the same time, realized keenly intense fan demon Strength, this Strength and Succubus Clan is a little similar, but different is Succubus mainly by the appearance, but this singing sound had not seen that the person has displayed terrifying attracting ability, has nearly fatal attraction to the soul, the might above Succubus Innate Skill. 陈睿惊叹这种歌声优美无比的同时,敏锐地察觉到了一种强烈的迷魅力量,这种力量魅魔一族有点类似,但不同是魅魔主要是靠容貌,而这种歌声还没有见到人就已经发挥出恐怖的魅惑能力,对灵魂有着近乎致命的吸引力,威力远在魅魔天赋之上。 Although the singing sound has to attract the strength, but Chen Rui most does not fear is the different strength of this way, he has experienced the Heart's Devil innumerable enticement in heart refinement, but after obtaining the inheritance of Ancient Alchemy Civilization, Spirit Force had the qualitative change, achieves «, let alone also had immunity Spirit Attack God Devouring Mask and absorption invades Spirit Force Super System. 尽管歌声极具魅惑力,但陈睿最不怕的就是这种方式的异力,他在炼心中经历过心魔无数次的诱惑,而得到上古炼金文明的传承后,精神力发生了质变,达到《,更别说还有免疫精神攻击噬神面具和吸收入侵精神力超级系统了。 The Chen Rui nod said: Very wonderful singing sound. This makes me think that the legend story of hometown, is this singing sound that what living creature exudes?” 陈睿点头赞道:“非常美妙的歌声。这让我想到家乡的一个传说故事来,这是什么生物发出的歌声?” What we enter is the sea monster(s) region.” Earth Element King looked at Chen Rui, this is the Siren singing sound, they have special Bloodline Innate Skill, in the beautiful singing sound contains formidable Spirit to attract Strength, even can affect the soul, soul Variation even can use the sound manufacture force illusion, making the listener lose is unable to extricate oneself. What a pity in the ear of Elemental, these sounds has not distinguished with whistling sea breeze anything.” “我们进入的是海妖的区域。”土元素君王看了看陈睿,“这是塞壬的歌声,她们拥有特殊的血脉天赋,优美的歌声中蕴涵着强大的精神魅惑力量,甚至能够牵动灵魂,灵魂变异者甚至能利用声音制造强力幻觉,使听者迷失其中无法自拔。可惜在元素人的耳中,这些声音与呼呼的海风没什么区别。” Siren?” Chen Rui's eye one bright, Dullahan is promoted one of the two materials needing is Heart of Siren, although this time comes Sea of Death most important purpose is to treat and cure Isabella, but since bumps into Siren, definitely cannot miss. 塞壬?”陈睿的眼睛一亮,古拉丹姆晋级需要的两种材料之一就是赛壬之心,虽说这次来死亡之海的最重要目的是救治伊莎贝拉,但既然碰到塞壬,肯定不能错过。 „The Siren singing sound to the average person, there is a fatal attraction, but everything has both sides, this singing sound can wash and temper Power of Soul of listener similarly. my friend I can induce, Spirit Force that you have has almost been the peak-stage Devil Emperor degree, but, because lacks the understanding to true Devil Emperor level, your Spirit Force in the ` nature, the aspect cannot truly compared with peak-stage Devil Emperor, if can use Siren singing sound unceasingly refining Power of Soul, will then break through Devil Emperor to have not the small help to you, moreover after being promoted, Spirit Force also will possibly have some mutation. As a result of the great strength of your Spirit Force, this degree of singing sound is not useful, must seek for some Variation Innate Skill to be good.” 塞壬的歌声对一般人来说,有致命的吸引力,不过凡事都有两面,这歌声同样能洗涤和锤炼倾听者的灵魂之力我的朋友我能感应得出来,你所拥有的精神力几乎已经达到了巅峰魔帝的程度,只不过,由于缺乏对真正魔帝层次的理解,你的精神力在‘质,方面并不能真正与巅峰魔帝相比,如果能利用塞壬的歌声不断精炼灵魂之力,那么对你突破魔帝会有不小的帮助,而且晋级后精神力很可能还会产生某种异变。只是由于你精神力的强大,这种程度的歌声并没有什么用,必须要寻找某种变异天赋者才行。” Chen Rui nods: Happen, Heart of Siren is one of goals my these comes, now do we seek for Siren following the singing sound?” 陈睿点点头:“正好,赛壬之心是我这一趟来的目标之一,现在我们顺着歌声去寻找塞壬吗?” Before then, solves first slightly some troublesome. Compared with Siren, this is Attack nature stronger living creature, they are called Harpy, Harpy is called Eagle Witch, personality tyrannical will be cruel, likes by raider's the symbol of bones of the dead as territory. They have certain Wind Element Strength, Speed fast, in Attack is having the special paralysis different strength, making the enemy also without enough time counter-attack is struck down. Harpy usually with Siren lives together, and is called sea monster(s), both have the special interdependence relations, since Siren has exuded the singing sound of enticement, Harpy should arrive immediately.” “在此之前,还是先解决掉一些小麻烦吧。与塞壬相比,这是一种攻击性更强的生物,她们叫做鸟身女妖,鸟身女妖又被称为鹰身女巫,性情凶戾残忍,喜欢将被袭击者的白骨作为领地的标志。她们拥有一定的风系力量,速度迅捷,攻击中带着特殊的麻痹异力,使敌人还来不及反击就被击倒。鸟身女妖通常和塞壬生活在一起,并称为海妖,两者有种特殊的依存关系,既然塞壬已经发出了诱惑的歌声,鸟身女妖应该马上就会来到。” The Chen Rui facial expression is somewhat strange, sea monster(s) of this world, before him the first West fairy story is somewhat similar, it seems like among different plane also many astonishing coincidences. 陈睿神情有些奇怪,这个世界的海妖,与他前一世西方神话故事有些类似,看来不同位面之间也有不少惊人的巧合。 The ship just navigated a distance, Chen Rui induces the above difference immediately, soon, saw that the dense and numerous shadows appear in the sky, by his eyesight, has been able to see clearly, this is one crowd of appearances for female living creature, the appearance is the female, the front is revealing one pair ** the room, both hands are linking a wing, lower part of the body completely is the feather, the claw appears very sharp. 船刚航行了一段距离,陈睿立刻感应到了上空的异样,不久,就看到密密麻麻的黑影出现在天空,以他的目力,已经能看清,这是一群外貌为雌性的生物,容貌是女性,胸前袒露着一对**房,双手连着一对翅膀,下半身则完全就是禽类,爪子显得非常锋利。 The Harpy Attack way is somewhat special, first is raises high, then in the air strikes, leaves together the parabola, toward below dives to come rapidly, oncoming force very fierce mouth Chen Rui can see cruel Lust that in these eyes reveals clearly, at this time, Mole finger of sky, bird body sorceresses rapid ossification in rapidly process of dive, rushes to the place above of mast merely, turned into ice-cold statues, immediately that statue rapid jumps to shoot toward the place above, explodes in the female monster group, for a while the wail sound rises from all directions, has to bring the feather of blood to scatter Petrification unceasingly Technique? Death stone huā?” Chen Rui looks at the eye one brightly, Mole Earth Element magic does not need anything to condense Spirit Force or reads aloud the incantation, the control and connection unusual conditions of magic, picks up conveniently, as if the huā of Petrification technique and Death radically is two parts of magic, this is not Composite Magic, is the ordinary utilization, has the recover one's original simplicity ideal condition, even if Lola, only on Earth Element magic, must candidly admit defeat. 鸟身女妖们的攻击方式有些特殊,先是高高升起,然后在空中击,出一道抛物线,朝下方迅疾地俯冲而来,来势十分凶猛口陈睿已经能够清晰地看到那些眼睛中流露出的残忍欲望,这时,摩尔一指天空,鸟身女巫们在急速俯冲的过程中迅速僵化,仅仅冲到桅杆的上方,就已经变成一座座冰冷的石像,随即那石像迅速朝上方迸射而出,在女妖群中爆裂开来,一时哀鸣声四起,不断有带着鲜血的羽毛飘散开来“石化术?死亡石huā?”陈睿看得眼睛一亮,摩尔土系魔法根本无须什么凝聚精神力或念诵咒语,魔法的控制和连接浑然天成,顺手拈来,仿佛石化术和死亡之huā根本就是一种魔法的两个部分,这不是复合魔法,就是普通的运用,有种返璞归真的意境,即便是罗拉,单就土系魔法来说,也要甘拜下风。 You have made a mistake, my friend.” Mole shook the head so-called magic is utilizes Spirit Force the Element Strength arrangement, plays the might one way. The Petrification technique is also good, Death stone huā is also good, is the same from Source, but is the manifestation is different. I have not utilized some form desirably, but naturally displays Source Strength.” “你错了,我的朋友。”摩尔摇了摇头“所谓的魔法就是运用精神力元素力量排列组合,发挥出威力的一种方式。石化术也好,死亡石huā也好,从本源上是一样的,只不过是表现形式不同而已。我并没有刻意地去运用某种形式,只是自然地施展出本源力量而已。” Is magic only the form? Is the true essence Source? Chen Rui understood anything faintly. 魔法只是形式?真正的精髓是本源陈睿隐隐明白了一些什么。 Earth Element King watches the Chen Rui's expression, hand wields, Harpy one after another that rushes to stagnates in the midair, is unable to fall , to continue maintains the tranquil tonality was saying: In fact, from Low Rank Devil to Devil Emperor, can it be that a Strength utilization ` form few people can comprehend Source, but this exactly is the high level Expert qualitative change to the Super Rank Expert key. Since all previous dynasties, has achieved the peak-stage Devil Emperor person to be countless, however can comprehend Source to go a step further truly, is it may be said that very few. But the ` form, is similarly indispensable, is ` Source, foundation...... These things, I should, when you achieve peak-stage Devil Emperor told you again, but your Strength from possibly was the inheritance of False God Expert, was different to the average person, perhaps morning comprehended Source, can let you quickly the powerful strength that restored to inherit. 土元素君王陈睿的表情看在眼里,手一挥,冲下的鸟身女妖纷纷停滞在半空,无法下落,继续保持着平静的音调说道:“事实上,从低阶恶魔魔帝,力量的运用莫不是一种‘形式”很少有人能领悟本源,而这恰恰是高层强者质变到超阶强者的关键。历代以来,达到巅峰魔帝的人不计其数,然而真正能领悟本源更进一步的,可谓少之又少。但‘形式,同样不可或缺,是‘本源,的基础……这些东西,原本我应该在你达到巅峰魔帝的时候再告诉你,但你的力量来自和可能是伪神强者的传承,与普通人不一样,或许早一点领悟本源,可以让你更快地恢复传承的强大实力。 What Devil Emperor following cultivation is a ` technique, or called the ` technique? But true is Super Rank Expert `? Chen Rui is sensing the Mole words in own understanding way, as if saw a leaf of new front door, ten thousand law a common origin, no matter if it is Super System or Devil Race cultivation, is only the path does not pass, Paramount Source that eventually achieves is consistent. 魔帝以下修行的是一种‘技,或者叫‘术,?而真正的超阶强者是‘道,?陈睿以自己的理解方式感悟着摩尔的话,仿佛看到了一扇新的大门,万法同源,无论是超级系统或是魔族修行,都只是道路不通过,最终达到的至高本源都是一致的。 From the Super System evolution process, seems one as specific as the qualitative change, perhaps knowledge... 超级系统的进化历程来看,似乎正是一个从量到质的变化,或许有一知… Chen Rui recovers, nodded, Mole words few several, perhaps but regarding him of bottleneck, is having the unpredictable significance. 陈睿回过神来,点了点头,摩尔的话只是寥寥数句,但对于正于瓶颈的他来说,或许有着难以预料的意义。 Remember, regarding true Expert, peak-stage Devil Emperor was not the end point, rather just started a beginning.” Earth Element King saw him to end the ponder, on the face has shown the smiling face. “记住,对于真正的强者来说,巅峰魔帝并不是终点,而是刚刚开始一个起点。”土元素君王见他结束了思考,脸上露出笑容。 Chen Rui then discovered that bird body sorceresses have disappeared, but in far airborne hears sounding that is frightened indistinctly, it seems like ran away far, wants to practice practice one's skill, by Mole had actually been wrapped. 陈睿这才发现,鸟身女巫们都已经不见了,只是在远空中隐约听到惊惶的鸣叫,看来已经逃远了,本来还想练练手的,却被摩尔包了场。 Mole has seen through his thoughts, shakes the head saying: Do not seek for the heart of Siren, the bird body sorceresses are vengeful feelings quite strong living creature, even if were startled to draw back by my Strength, still truly will not give up, believes that we will run into more enemies in front. However I need to remind your am. Heart of Siren is the life crystal on Siren forehead, after losing, meets the vitality to damage severely. Siren were inferior that bird body sorceress such tyrannical, the disposition is more mild-mannered, but has staunch side similarly, if has not obtained their wishes, even if kills them, is unable to obtain Heart of Siren.” 摩尔看穿了他的心思,摇头道:“你不是要去寻找塞壬之心吗,鸟身女巫们是复仇心理相当强的生物,即便被我的力量惊退,依然不会真正放弃,相信我们在前面会遇到更多的敌人。不过我需要提醒你的是。赛壬之心塞壬们额头上的本命晶体,失去后会元气大伤。塞壬们并不如鸟身女巫这么凶戾,性格要柔顺一些,但同样有刚烈的一面,如果没有得到她们自己的意愿,就算杀死她们,也无法得到赛壬之心。” Chen Rui nodded: First has a look to front, or can find to help me temper Spirit Force Siren.” 陈睿点了点头:“先到前面去看看吧,或者还能找到帮助我锤炼精神力塞壬。” The singing sound was even more clear, as if also a not just person, continuously, coordinates without a gap, the music appears more faintly recognizable attractive, but in the Chen Rui hear, what are more is only interesting to listen , is truly interesting to listen. 歌声愈发清晰了,似乎还不止一个人,此起彼伏,配合无间,乐声显得更加飘渺诱人,但在陈睿听来,更多的只是动听而已,确实很动听。 Perhaps, can make Siren conduct a concert anything......, When beyond patrolling day, a graceful sound has made a sound in his ear, unexpectedly, all singing sounds had been covered by this sound, through sense of hearing straight permeating mind, soul by shivering. 或许,可以让塞壬们举办一个演唱会什么的……,正神游天外之际,一个曼妙的声音在他的耳边响了起来,蓦地,所有的歌声都被这个声音盖了下去,通过听觉直渗入脑海中,灵魂没由得颤动了一下。 Bright moonlight. 明月。 Bamboo grove Qing Creek. 竹林清溪。 Has that person to make tea the fragrance. 有伊人烹茶香。 This presents the picture in Chen Rui eye in an instant, immediately realized has resounded the Super System alarm sound: Discovered that not the well-known Spirit Force invasion, does transform as the spiritual energy?” 这是刹那间出现在陈睿眼中的景象,随即意识中响起了超级系统的警报声:“发现不知名精神力入侵,是否转化为灵气?” Meanwhile, far airborne presents figure of big piece bird body sorceress, blots out the sky to fly toward Mandala Ship, the quantity must go far beyond on one batch.( To be continued 与此同时,远空中出现大片鸟身女巫的身影,铺天盖地朝曼陀罗号飞来,数量要远远超过上一批。(未完待续
