Watching the fleet of gold-carrying ships passing by in front of them, turning a blind eye to the five ships, Halesa and the other captains were nervous, but they also felt extremely miraculous, and their eyes fell on the box tied to the flagpole.

above, some thoughts inevitably came into my mind.

Although they themselves had tested it just now, as long as they did not enter the seven-colored light mask, the area seen by people outside the light mask was just an ordinary ocean, but before the fleet of gold transport ships passed by, they

I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.

But now this uneasiness has been replaced by another kind of greed. As smuggling captains, they all know how much a magical device that can be hidden from any sight can play in maritime smuggling.

It is an exaggeration to say that if they had this device, they would be the kings of smugglers, and they would not need to worry about anti-smuggling ships at all.

However, this idea only flashed in their minds for a moment, and then quickly disappeared, because just now the captains of four of the ships discovered that their employees were actually companions of each other, and these four employees obviously

They are all people with extraordinary powers, and they seem to come from a mysterious and powerful force.

Not to mention whether they can snatch the device from the hands of four people with powerful extraordinary powers, even if they can snatch it, they will have to face a mysterious force with a large number of extraordinary people chasing after them. Just imagining it can already make them

I calmed down from the unwanted desires.

The invisibility device taken out by the four non-human beings did not exceed Leo's expectations. This device had already been discovered when the mental network scanned the four people.

Although this optical stealth device is very different from the Earth Federation's battleship environment stealth module, and the technology used is alien technology that Leo has never seen before, the simulation module that this device must use is

Common to all civilizations in the universe, this is almost the iconic component of this type of device.

The only thing that surprised Leo was the coverage and effect of this device. He originally thought that this device was a personal escape device used by four non-human races to save their lives when they encountered danger, but he did not expect this coverage.

It's so big, and the effect is amazing, even the waves on the sea surface, the undercurrents under the water, and all kinds of creatures living in the water can be simulated.

Unless one has a mental network of Leo's level that constantly scans and analyzes everything around him, it would be difficult to detect these simulated virtual environment lights and shadows with the naked eye and ordinary mental scanning abilities.

Now Leo also knows why those non-human races are so confident that they can safely collect the information they want at close range and escape from the melee on the battlefield.

"Is this an artifact of the God of War? Just like the legend, it can hide the army. Even if the enemy walks in front of it, it will not be noticed. If it can be used on the battlefield..." Barbarissa approached the window of the cabin at this time.

, looked in amazement as he watched the fleet of gold transport ships turn a blind eye to his own ships not far away, and couldn't help but say when he heard Leo explaining the effectiveness of the optical stealth device to Sylvia.

Perhaps the battle just now aroused some of Barbarissa's nature. When he saw the optical cloaking device, he immediately thought of using it on the battlefield. I am afraid he was also thinking about whether there was a chance to use it.

come over.

However, Leo just smiled at Barbarissa's idea and said nothing, because even if Barbarissa got his hands on this device, he probably wouldn't be able to use it. The energy required to use this device once is very large.

, and judging from the energy source of the device, it obviously does not have a charging module, so this device can be said to be disposable and will be no different from waste after use.

At this time, the gold-carrying ship fleet had completely passed in front of the five smuggling ships. With little need for suggestions or requests from those non-human races, the captains of the five ships spontaneously ordered to start the steam engines and follow the gold-carrying ship fleet.

At the back, the five ships are connected through movable chains to prevent any ship from going beyond the scope of the stealth device when heading.

Although it is very difficult to coordinate the sailing speed and direction of five ships in the sea, fortunately, the captains of the five ships are all experienced helmsmen. They quickly found the law of coordination, and the five ships were connected in the sea.

After some small collisions, the boats together quickly became coordinated and moved forward at the same speed while maintaining a certain safe distance between the hulls.

If there are no accidents, then the five smuggling ships can perfectly avoid the battlefield through this method and act as bystanders at close range.

Unfortunately, the subsequent development obviously did not go in the direction that the captain of the smuggling ship hoped. When the ship followed the gold transport fleet into the eye of the bitter sea, the dark clouds that had accumulated for two days could no longer bear the weight of the bound water vapor.

, began to release the power contained within.

Big raindrops fell from the sky, and along with the raindrops, there was a huge storm on the sea. Driven by the power of the storm, the waves on the sea surface continued to roll upwards, and the waves quickly climbed from a few meters high to more than ten meters high.

Even tens of meters high, high walls made of seawater were formed, rapidly advancing in the direction of the storm.

If we follow the rules and face such a powerful storm, ships sailing at sea must find a shelter as soon as possible to avoid the storm. If they cannot avoid the storm, they also need to adjust their sailing direction so that the bow of the ship sails against the waves driven by the storm to avoid the hull.

Encountered a huge wave and rolled over.

However, the actions of the gold-carrying fleet after the storm completely violated these conventions. Not only did they not look for nearby islands and reefs to escape the storm, they did not even change the direction of the fleet's sailing, as if they could not see the giant approaching from the side.

Like a wave, it sailed forward without losing any speed.

Soon, the first wave of huge waves caused by the storm encountered the fleet at close range. When the huge waves tried to overturn the ships blocking its way, a force burst out from each ship of the gold transport fleet.

, instantly enveloped the ship where it was, and the water hitting the ship was easily blocked by this force and discharged to both sides, without causing any obstacles to the navigation of the ship and fleet.

At this moment, the entire fleet was enveloped by the sea water, and it looked as if the entire fleet was sailing in the sea water, which was extremely spectacular.

The five smuggling ships behind the gold transport fleet completely saw this miraculous scene. If they were not also in the storm, they might be willing to stand on the deck, holding a glass of wine,

Enjoy this scene.

But now, they will also face the sudden attack of huge waves. Even though they relied on their rich experience to predict the direction of the huge waves in advance and adjusted the position of the bow in time, when a huge wave like a high wall appeared on them

When facing them, they had no confidence that they would be able to break out of such a strong wave.

"Damn it! This is not a natural storm at all!" When almost all the captains of the ships saw the huge waves coming, they couldn't help but feel panic and cursed loudly.

Just as they cursed, the sea storm in front of them appeared too suddenly and formed too quickly. It took almost less than ten minutes to complete the transformation process that a normal storm would take several hours to complete.

The unprecedented situation was completely beyond the ability of these veteran sailors to cope. The only thing they could do was to use their past experience to find a way to break out of the huge waves formed by the storm.

However, all the veteran sailors on the ship know very well that these coping methods may be enough to deal with regular storms, but they are obviously not enough to deal with this abnormal super storm, unless they are the kind of gods who have a fleet of gold-carrying ships.

They need some miraculous strength to rescue them, otherwise they might be in trouble this time.

Just when everyone was feeling fear and despair, a large number of vines suddenly rushed out from one of the ships, forming a huge vine ball, wrapping the five ships in it, and the outside of the vine ball was still growing.

The new vines reinforced it, and finally when the huge wave crashed down, the vine ball withstood all the impact force, and rolled in the direction of the huge wave, easily dissipating the power of the huge wave, and was

The five ships protected among them only felt a little shaking when the vine ball rotated rapidly.

All the people on the ship were stunned by the scene in front of them. They didn't know how to react for a moment. And on the ship that was the source of the vines, everyone looked at the non-human race on the deck that had turned into a tree-man form.

, everyone’s eyes were filled with awe.

At this time, in the cabin of the Beloved, Leo took his hand from the prepared rune magic array, and then looked at the tree man, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When he entered the Eye of Bitter Water, Leo could already feel that the power accumulated in the dark clouds in the sky was being stimulated by an external force and began to be released outward, quickly forming a storm on the sea.

Although he is not an experienced sailor and cannot judge the destructive power and scope of the storm from certain characteristics of the storm, he can deduce the final effect from the energy fluctuations released by the storm.

Therefore, the moment the huge wave just formed, he had already taken out the rune magic array and was ready to take action when the huge wave came.

However, he obviously underestimated the strength of those non-human races. Among those non-human races, the tree people who were similar to a certain symbiote civilization were able to come up with such a way to protect all five ships and create vine balls.

It was also strong enough to withstand such strong waves, and at the same time, it could keep the space inside the vines basically stable, which really surprised him.

"What an amazing ability!" Sylvia couldn't help but sigh in admiration at this time, and added with a hint of meaning: "It seems to be specially designed for this situation."

Hearing this, Leo nodded in agreement.

Just like Sylvia's view, he also felt that the tree man had timely displayed an ability that perfectly suited the current environment and could protect the ship. It looked like it had been prepared in advance.

However, for other people on the ship, it doesn't matter whether this ability was prepared in advance or not. What is important is that they are safe for the time being.

However, those non-human hirelings obviously did not intend to let these ships stay peacefully until the storm was over. They asked the ships to start their steam engines, and then continued to sail towards their target location in the storm while carrying the huge vine balls.

Faced with this somewhat excessive request, although the captains on each ship expressed dissatisfaction, that was all. They did not refuse to implement this request, but instead ordered the sailors to sail according to the employer's request. After all, now

What protects them is this vine ball. If they offend their employer and untie the vine ball, they have no confidence in surviving that kind of storm.

In this way, the five smuggling ships were completely protected by the vine balls and could not see anything outside. According to the instructions of the tree man who made the vine balls, the five smuggling ships controlled the direction and speed of the ships, holding the vine balls against their heads, like a

Sailing like a headless fly in the storm on the sea.

During the voyage, the tree man appeared weak several times, but those non-human beings were prepared and took out some potions similar to nutritional supplements to supplement the tree man's huge consumption.

After sailing blindly for several hours, the tree man suddenly signaled to stop the ship. After a while, the vines covering the ship began to unravel slowly. However, the untied vines were not taken back by the tree man, but quickly withered.

Falling from the air.

Soon the vine ball above was completely untied, and everyone saw the sky above their heads. However, what disappointed them was that the dark clouds in the sky did not disappear. Instead, they became thicker, completely blocking the sun. Under the dark clouds and

There is almost no difference in the dark.

The dark clouds did not disappear, and the storm naturally did not end. The strong wind that could directly blow people away penetrated into the vine ball when the vines above the head disappeared. Some sailors who had not had time to make protective preparations were blown away from the deck and fell into the water.

.

However, what puzzled the people on the boat was that although there was a violent storm outside, the sea surface seemed extremely calm, and there was almost no turbulence caused by the waves.

At first, the people on the boat thought this was because the protective effect of the vine ball had not disappeared, because they had not felt the storm from the outside during the previous disappearances, but as the vine ball was completely loosened, they discovered

The situation outside is completely different from what they thought.

Although it is stormy outside, the sea seems to be suppressed by some kind of force. There are no waves, only slight undulations. Looking around, it gives people the impression that we are not in a storm at this moment.

, but rather the illusion of a private pond.

However, the attention of everyone on the ship was not attracted for too long by the abnormal sight that was completely beyond common sense. The fierce battle that broke out on the sea in the distance had already attracted their attention.

At this moment, the four non-human races took out the devices they had prepared long ago, climbed up to the observation deck at the top of the mast, and used the devices to scan the direction of the fierce battle several times before finally aligning the collection port with the target.
