Chapter 350 - 214: Battle in the Deep Sea
As Sunan sampled the seafood delicacies, Sherman and the others, who had just arrived at Rainbow Bay, were already sailing into the Rainbow Sea.
On the vast expanse of the sea.
The colossal ship, towering ten meters high, sailed slowly, parting the water and stirring up waves.
“This is the Rainbow Sea, huh.”
Attila watched the shimmering sea surface more than five hundred meters away with bright eyes, as the gorgeous violet light rippled in the waves, extraordinarily beautiful.
Due to its location at the junction of the sea and land nodes, this place occasionally exhibits some wondrous effects, where the sea surface sometimes emits various peculiar glows, hence the name Rainbow Sea.
Tajana stood at the edge of the deck, curiously observing the surrounding scenery.
In the underground world, there were no oceans, only lakes and swamps.
It was her first time seeing the real ocean with her own eyes.
The sparkling, vast sea surface seemed boundless, and the distant horizon intersecting in a line gave her a sense of broad and expansive joy.
There was almost no land in sight within their field of vision, only a few sea birds, and the marine life seemed rather abundant.
However, these fish were of all shapes and sizes, many of which she had never seen before.
Elsewhere, Sherman, Cole, and Fleming were chatting with a woman.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure, but her lower half was a thick snake tail.
This indicated her identity—the nobility among the human-faced lions.
During the conquest of the underground world, the Star Alliance subdued over a dozen human-faced lion city-states, and these human-faced lion groups were ultimately dispatched to obey Carolina’s orders.
This noble human-faced lion named Andrea was one of the city-state leaders.
Now, she was the city lord of one of the city-states in Rainbow Bay.
Upon hearing they wished to observe the Rainbow Sea firsthand, she offered to accompany them, thoughtfully bringing along a group of guides.
The so-called guides were actually a group of fishmen.
They stood only up to the waist of an average adult male, with indigo-blue skin, a fish-like head, a human-like body and limbs, all covered in fine scales, with webbing between their fingers and toes.
These fishmen came from a fishman tribe near the coastal area of Rainbow Bay.
When the Star Alliance first arrived to build a city at the bay, they coincidentally encountered this tribe attempting to raid, and thus dispatched a golem squad to defeat them soundly.
Later, they were chased back to their lair, prompting the fishman tribe to quickly surrender.
Although these fishmen lived only in the shallow sea regions, they had a reasonable understanding of the Rainbow Sea, so Andrea accepted them.
The leader of the fishmen was a fishman named Blue Scale, who was diligently introducing information about Rainbow Sea to everyone.
“There are many poisonous species in Rainbow Sea, nearly one-fifth of the fish are toxic, and must be carefully identified before consumption.”
“However, most non-toxic fish are very delicious. Whether boiled, grilled, or eaten raw, they taste quite good. If you wish to sample them, feel free to order. Not to brag, but my culinary skills are decent.”
The fishman spoke with a flattering smile on his face, displaying a fawning demeanor.
He had heard that these people before him were even more formidable than City Lord Andrea, and if he could please them, he might be promoted to tribe leader.
Upon hearing a fishman volunteer to cook sea fish, Sherman and Fleming both showed odd expressions.
“Ahem.” Sherman coughed lightly, “No need to talk excessively. I ask you, what powerful sea monsters are there in this sea?”
The fishman scratched his head, awkwardly saying, “Sir, all sea monsters are formidable to us fishmen.”
“…”
Sherman realized it too, asking fishmen who couldn’t even defeat knights about powerful sea monsters was indeed asking the wrong party.
He turned to Andrea, who thought for a moment and said, “There aren’t any formidable sea monsters in the shallow sea areas, but there are plenty in the deep sea—Fish Dragons, Dragon Whales, Giant Sharks, Cyan Dragons, Squid King, Deep Sea Jellyfish…”
Andrea listed dozens of sea monsters in one breath, then solemnly added:
“These sea monsters all possess Tier Three Legendary level power, and if encountered, it’s best to avoid combat if possible.”
Tier Three Legendary monsters on land may not be formidable, but at sea, they are quite troublesome.
Without power surpassing by one or two tiers, handling these sea monsters is impossible.
At this moment, a commotion occurred on the other side of the deck.
It was Tajana who had pulled a creature out of the sea.
This bizarre creature resembled a giant multi-legged freshwater lobster, standing one and a half meters tall, three meters long, with a tough cyan-blue shell, incredibly durable, small unblinking eyes, large and powerful pincers, with relatively sturdy lower limbs.
Despite being restrained mid-air by the Mage’s hand, it continued shouting loudly, struggling wildly to wield its pincers, evidently aggressive.
“This is a Lobster Person, with very low intelligence, similar to a domestic dog.”
Andrea came to the curious Tajana and Attila by the Lobster Person, softly explaining:
“They are highly aggressive but weak in combat. A battle-experienced apprentice knight can easily deal with a Lobster Person.”
Blue Scale approached, gazing at the Lobster Person while swallowing, rubbing his hands with a flattering smile, “My lords, Lobster Person meat is delicious. How about giving this Lobster Person to me, and I’ll make some culinary delights for you.”
