"Splash." The fish head of the deep-sea destroyer sensed Little White's approach. It raised its head, and the two eerie eyes in its fish head stared at Little White's body.
Xiao Bai's body stiffened as he followed the gaze of the deep-sea destroyer, and his heart began to pound rapidly.
"..." The deep-sea destroyer looked at Little White, as if she had never seen such a type of deep-sea amphibious ship before. It held that position for a while, and then finally lost interest. With a snap, it slapped its fish head back onto the surface of the water and enjoyed its deep-sea resentment bath.
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief; the will of the deep sea was indeed true.
As expected of the ultimate boss of the deep sea, he certainly has the clout.
Xiao Bai didn't unleash her ship equipment to sink the Abyssal destroyer in front of her. After all, the Abyssal Will stated that with its protection, no Abyssal vessel would actively attack Xiao Bai. However, if Xiao Bai went up there and caused trouble, recklessly testing the limits of death, and insisted on attacking Abyssal vessels in the Abyssal base, then even the Abyssal Will couldn't protect her.
At that time, tens of thousands of deep-sea amphibious ships in this ocean will all directly regard Little White as the first deep-sea amphibious ship to be eliminated.
Xiaobai left the side of the deep-sea destroyer and continued its journey into the ocean.
At first, every time Xiaobai walked a short distance, he would enter the spiritual world to confirm with the Deep Sea Will whether he was going in the right direction. However, it seemed that after confirming too many times, the Deep Sea Will got annoyed and simply released several Blue Flame carrier-based aircraft to float around Xiaobai and lead the way.
This walk took up most of the day.
Little White walked on the surface of the sea filled with deep-sea resentment. The number of deep-sea ships around it gradually increased from one or two that could be seen occasionally to more and more. As it walked further, deep-sea ships that shone with red or gold light patrolled around Little White almost all the time.
Xiao Bai's mindset gradually shifted from initial tension to relaxation.
"Deep Sea Will, you're saying that ship girl technology is in the territory of the Deep Sea?" Xiaobai asked the carrier-based aircraft beside him as they walked.
The carrier-based aircraft floated, then circled once in place.
"Oh, so does that mean the ship girl technology is similar to the deep-sea construction technology?"
The carrier-based aircraft circled again.
"...How did you build the deep sea before?"
The carrier-based aircraft floated for a while, and then began to fly around haphazardly.
This doesn't seem to be something that can be explained using simple carrier-based aircraft terminology.
Xiao Bai gave up on asking about the Deep Sea Will: "Then, Deep Sea Will, I have another question."
The carrier-based aircraft, which had been flying erratically, gradually stabilized.
"How did you know that ship girl technology is in the deep-sea territory?"
The carrier-based aircraft remained motionless after hearing Xiaobai's words and continued to float beside him.
"The Will of the Deep Sea?" Xiaobai asked again when the Will of the Deep Sea did not respond.
The carrier-based aircraft remained silent.
“…Eh?” Xiaobai stopped and looked around.
All around was the boundless deep sea of resentment, and deep-sea ships floating on the surface. As Xiaobai continued to venture deeper into the sea, black mist slowly filled the surrounding air, making everything appear dark and reducing visibility to a progressively worse degree.
“Deep Sea Meaning…” Xiaobai suddenly felt a little scared. She opened her mouth, about to ask the carrier-based aircraft another question.
Then, at that moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of Xiaobai as if by teleportation.
The dark shadow was blurry and indistinct, without limbs or a face, yet it gave the impression of being a living thing.
It appeared out of nowhere, right in front of Little White.
Little White stared at the dark figure in front of him, mouth agape.
The dark figure in front of them was also watching Xiaobai.
—No, this dark figure doesn't have facial features, and strictly speaking, it didn't look at anything, but Xiaobai did have a feeling that something was watching him.
—This thing is definitely not a deep-sea amphibious vessel.
“…Deep Sea Will…” Xiaobai lowered his voice and asked the carrier-based aircraft beside him for help, “What’s going on…”
But just as Xiaobai spoke, the dark shadow staring at him suddenly stretched out and kept moving closer to him.
The carrier-based aircraft beside Xiaobai rushed in front of Xiaobai in an instant, trying to protect him. However, the structure of this dark shadow was unusually peculiar, and it directly swallowed Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft into its body.
...This is bad.
Xiao Bai took several steps back, and as soon as the black shadow saw Xiao Bai retreat, the speed at which it was extending towards Xiao Bai suddenly increased, and it reached Xiao Bai's side in an instant, then rushed towards Xiao Bai's head.
It enveloped Xiaobai's head in a flash.
What is it like to be enveloped by an unknown dark shadow? Xiao Bai felt a chill run through his head, as if something rushed into his body, swirled around several times, and took something away.
Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of weakness in her body, and she knelt down on the water with a thud, instinctively hugging her shoulders.
The dark shadow slowly retreated from Xiaobai's head, shrinking back into a ball, and then its entire body began to undulate rhythmically.
Finally, to Xiaobai's astonishment, the black shadow in front of her slowly stretched out its limbs, grew a head, and extended hair, eyes, and a nose. Its body also gradually became slender and petite, and its color slowly transitioned from black to snow white.
—In the end, it transformed into a young girl with waterfall-like black hair.
"Mmm—" The little girl opened her eyes, her black eyes filled with joy. She tilted her head and looked at Little White, reaching out her hand.
The child's clear, tender voice carried genuine joy and affection.
Xiao Bai stared blankly at the little girl in front of him, unsure how to react for a moment; "Huh?"
"Mua—Mommy!" the little girl shouted to the little white dog.
Chapter 476 Snapping Fingers
This little girl is exceptionally beautiful, with snow-white skin and hair as black as ink. Despite being a child, she doesn't give off any impression of being immature. Her features are delicate and refined, and her figure is slender and graceful, surprisingly possessing a considerable amount of mature beauty.
More importantly, she wasn't wearing any clothes; her body was simply covered by her thick, long hair.
Little White, kneeling on the water, stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before him.
A dark, fluffy ball of a shadow suddenly transformed into a black-haired little girl in front of him?! Most unbelievably, this little girl was actually calling him "Mommy"?
The chill that had been robbed from Xiaobai's body had not yet subsided when another strong, astringent feeling subtly welled up.
She tried her best to understand the situation, but her brain kept crashing.
—What exactly is going on here?
"Mom?" The black-haired little girl stretched out her hands to Xiaobai, but seeing that Xiaobai did not react, she tilted her head and a strange look appeared in her dark eyes.
Like a puppy that hasn't been hugged by its owner, its expression is full of incomprehension and disappointment.
"Huh? Are you calling me?" Xiaobai's brain finally caught up. She struggled to understand the situation, pointed to herself, and asked the little girl in front of her.
"Mommy!" When the little girl with black hair saw that Xiaobai was finally willing to talk to her, a beautiful smile bloomed on her delicate face, and her big eyes narrowed. She rushed into Xiaobai's arms, put her two little hands behind Xiaobai's back, and kept rubbing her little face against Xiaobai's chest.
With a thud, as if bumped by a puppy that had jumped into her arms, Xiaobai felt a sensation as if she were touching the soft fur of a small animal travel from her palm to her head.
Xiao Bai lowered his head and looked at his hand, which was pressing down on the little girl's long hair.
"Um, I'm not your mother, you must have the wrong person..." Xiaobai felt the softness of the little girl rushing into her arms, thought for a moment, and then whispered to explain, "I've never had a child, and I'm not married yet..."
The little girl in Xiaobai's arms looked at Xiaobai with her round eyes. After listening to what she said, she thought for a while, then nodded happily, and then snuggled into Xiaobai's arms several more times.
It seems like they didn't understand what Xiaobai was saying at all.
Xiao Bai sighed, patted the back of the little girl in his arms, and then fell into deep thought.
In short, one thing Xiaobai was certain of was that this child was definitely not human. After all, that scene of being molded like clay had just happened right in front of Xiaobai.
But it doesn't look like a Deepsea Abomination Ship... Xiaobai has lived for so long and has seen quite a few Deepsea Abomination Ships and Deepsea Deans, but she has never seen a Deepsea Abomination Ship that looks like putty.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms. The little girl in Xiaobai's arms also sensed Xiaobai's gaze, then raised her head and showed Xiaobai a pure and innocent smile.
"What species are you?" Little White asked.
The little girl looked on with curiosity.
"Hmm..." Xiaobai fell into thought, "He doesn't seem like a bad guy..."
"Good person!" The little girl raised her hands and called out to Xiaobai with a smile.
"So you can say things other than 'Mommy'? What else can you say?" Xiaobai was amused by the little girl and couldn't help but laugh. Then she lowered her head slightly and began to take a liking to the child. So Xiaobai asked the little girl in her arms in a gentle tone.
This little girl looks even younger than Fubuki, which is exactly what Shiro finds endearing.
Little White loves destroyers the most, doesn't he? The younger and more obedient the child, the more Little White likes them.
"I like it!" the little girl blurted out again, then stood on tiptoe, her shiny lips, as if coated with lipstick, suddenly brought close to Xiaobai's mouth and gave him a light kiss.
It felt like being gently licked by a cool little tongue, which was surprisingly quite pleasant.
Xiao Bai doesn't mind being kissed by a child. After all, they're just kids, right? And they're so cute, so let them kiss you.
Xiao Bai's affection for the little girl grew even stronger because of this. She reached out and patted the little girl's head, then looked at a Blue Flame carrier-based aircraft floating beside her: "What an interesting child... Deep Sea Will, do you know her origins?"
...no response.
"Huh? The Will of the Deep Sea?" Xiaobai asked again.
After noticing that the blue-flame carrier-based aircraft floating around Xiaobai still did not react, Xiaobai paused in stroking the black-haired girl.
Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat, and then a sense of unease rose within him.
—Speaking of which, I had a feeling that something had been taken away from me just now. Could it be that the furry ball had absorbed the deep-sea will within me?
Good heavens, that could kill someone!
Let's not even consider what would happen to Xiao Bai's spiritual world after the Deep Sea Will, which is the core of his spiritual world, is taken away. Under the current circumstances, he can't allow the Deep Sea Will to leave him!
Without the Will of the Deep Sea, I'll become a target for the Deep Sea Abyssal Ships!
Xiao Bai quickly realized this and hurriedly looked around.
Sure enough, at some point, probably around the time when the little girl in his arms was being affectionate with him, the deep-sea ships in this area slowly began to approach him.
In an instant, amidst the black smoke surrounding Xiaobai, deep-sea ships gleaming with eerie light appeared and disappeared, quickly crowding the surrounding waters.
Although they didn't attack Little White immediately, thick cannons slowly emerged from the mouths of the fish heads, all aimed at Little White.
On the ship equipment of those deep-sea amphibious ships, red, gold, and all sorts of patterns and eerie lights flashed incessantly. All the deep-sea amphibious ships looked at Xiaobai with emotionless eyes, as if they had seen a little lamb that had wandered into a pack of wolves.
"..." Xiaobai swallowed hard.
She felt that she might have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today... No, that's outdated, where would she find an almanac now?
Xiaobai shook her head quickly, shaking off those unnecessary distracting thoughts. Then she hugged the little girl in her arms tightly and released her ship equipment.
With a thunderous roar, the massive, fortress-like crystal ship landed on the water, and rings of cold air spread out, freezing a considerable area of the water into an ice field.
Xiaobai's ship equipment is land-based, typically characterized by high attack and high health, robustness and durability, as well as the air superiority and powerful artillery capabilities of the Hero. However, even with such powerful equipment, there are still its weaknesses.
That means the land-based ship equipment has a zero speed and cannot move on its own after being deployed. This short range, combined with the fact that it is being slowly surrounded from all sides, is a rather bad situation.
If it were just one or two, it would be manageable; even a dozen or twenty wouldn't be impossible to handle. But Xiaobai is currently in the deep-sea base camp, where deep-sea amphibious ships are arriving in droves. Xiaobai is under attack from all sides, with at least a hundred deep-sea amphibious ships in total.
In terms of combat power, Shiro is only a level 1 land-based ship girl. Shiro really can't handle this kind of battle that starts in hell mode right from the beginning.
Xiaobai held the baby girl in her arms and leaned tightly against the ship's rigging behind her.
"Mom?" The black-haired little girl raised her head curiously, looking at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression.
“I already said she’s not my mother… but now’s not the time to talk about this…” Xiaobai paused, then looked at the little girl in her arms, “By the way, could you please get these deep-sea ships to leave?”
If the will of the deep sea is absorbed by the black fur ball, then Little White will only be able to place his hopes of driving away the enemy on the little girl in his arms.
She only hoped that, if possible, the little girl in her arms could at least retain some of the functions of the Deep Sea Will.
"Hmm?" The little girl blinked and nodded after hearing what Xiaobai said.
"Huh, is that okay?" Xiaobai asked in surprise, then looked at...
"Hmm!" The little girl nodded, then stretched out her hands and looked at the deep-sea ships that were slowly approaching Xiaobai. Then she put her two slender little fingers together.
—Finally, he snapped his fingers.
Xiao Bai had no idea how the child had learned this gesture, and the child's snap of the fingers didn't make a sound.
However, the sea helped her make her voice heard.
"Rumble rumble rumble"
With a deafening explosion, the black sea surface shimmered.
Like countless bombs and rocks hidden on the seabed, the little girl's snap acted as a fuse, igniting the gunpowder. A burst of red sparks instantly illuminated the entire ocean.
Then, like erupting lava, flames tore through the black sea surface from the exploding seabed, carrying the deep-sea ships into the sky, where they roared and thundered.
In this entire sea area, only the area where Xiaobai was located was not detonated.
The explosion in the sea lasted for half a minute, and scorching fire rain continued to fall from the sky during this period. Xiaobai opened the ship's rigging to block the boiling seawater.
