Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1441: The Harmony, the Portsmouth Adventure, and the City-State World
"Rumble..."

The rumble of thunder echoed over the endless ocean, and the huge waves caused by the storm seemed to make the entire ocean boil.

Although it was still afternoon, the thick rain clouds made the rough and windy sea seem to have entered the night early.

Yet, on such a bad sea, two slender girls were riding the wind and weaving through the huge waves together.

The wooden ship uniforms surrounded by tentacles reveal their identities - sailing ship girls.

But behind the two sailing girls, on the sea, there were a large number of dark blue monsters, like the deep-sea monster Leviathan, chasing them.

The bodies of these sea beasts seem to be pieced together from the wreckage of a sailing ship, which is extremely strange. They can even fire cannonballs to attack.

"Portsmouth, didn't you check the weather forecast issued by the Goddess Church before you set off?"

The barefoot sailing ship girl with beautiful long red hair like flames, wearing a black tight high-slit skirt, and a red eye with a curved horn on her head was dodging the artillery fire, looking at the outline of the island emerging in the rain in front of her, while shouting at her companions in a complaining tone.

If you look closely, you can see that there are suction cups underneath the black tight skirt of the sailing girl. It turns out to be a tentacle suit.

The partner she called, named Portsmouth, had long burgundy hair and a tall, voluptuous body.

Even though he was hiding from the incoming artillery fire in the storm, the drunk Portsmouth still did not forget to take a sip from the wine flask at his waist from time to time:
"Sorry, Hemu, I just realized that I drank too much and missed the weather forecast."

"I knew that was the case!"

The Harmony dodged the incoming shells and continued to move toward the island while looking angrily at the drunk companion:
"The sampan skeleton herd is about to catch up with our secret treasure vault. If they follow us ashore, all the treasures we have been treasure hunters for so many years will be gone!"

"Hehehe~ Don't worry, the sampan skeleton group has never taken the initiative to land before."

Portsmouth had obviously encountered this situation more than once, and Hanhan smiled and assured Hemu.

"I hope it's as you said. Recently, many city-states have seen goddess statues crumbling. I feel like something big is about to happen... Tsk, you really think I can't fight back, right?"

"Boom!"

Hemu was halfway through his words when a shell grazed the girl's side and landed on the sea nearby, splashing up large waves.

Being chased all the way and being interrupted in its speech, the Harmony became angry and turned around, controlled the sailing ship and fired a cannonball back, accurately hitting a sampan skeleton.

"Compared to this matter, the treasure of the ghost fleet is more worthy of our attention."

When the Harmony counterattacked, Portsmouth also took the initiative to stop and tacitly opened fire to cooperate with the Harmony:
“Once we take the treasure and exchange it for supplies at the nearest city-state, we’ll have to set out to find the ghost fleet’s artifact!

"I heard that the Hurricane Fleet that discovered the Fountain of Youth last year has become active again recently. We can't let them get there first this time... eh?"

The group of skeleton beasts, which had been chasing them for several hours, were suddenly stunned at this moment, and then turned around and fled without hesitation.

In just a few breaths, these deep-sea monsters that seemed like a disaster in the storm fled in all directions in the sight of the two sailing ship girls and disappeared without a trace.

"How did they escape? Could it be that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and were scared away by our counterattack?"

Wearing a purple pirate hat with a wide brim, Portsmouth bathed in the rain, with a bright smile of a winner on his face, and took a big gulp of wine.

However, Careful Harmony is not as big-hearted as his companion.

The red-haired girl on the sailing ship turned around and looked at the island not far from them, which was also covered by the storm and was used by them as a secret treasure base.

There are countless undeveloped uninhabited islands like this in the city-state world.

If it is a city-state island blessed by the goddess and has a statue of the goddess, it is normal for the sampan skeleton beasts to retreat.

But it was obvious that as the secret base of the two treasure hunters, there was nothing on the island except the warehouse and their temporary residence that could deter the sampan skeleton beast.

Besides, apart from the goddess statue, the only thing that could make the sampan skeleton beast flee was...

Thinking of this, Hemu shuddered and turned to Portsmouth, who was unaware that the real danger was approaching, and shouted hurriedly:

"Let's go! We don't want the treasure anymore. Our secret base may have been taken by the Remnant Fleet..."

"Buzz——" And in the next moment, a low humming and trembling sound that made the two treasure hunters' scalps tingle suddenly rang out from above their secret base island.

The horrible trembling sound was apparently not loud, but it drowned out the storm, the waves, and the thunder. It was as if the world was being torn apart and the end of the world was approaching.

"Go! Get out of here! The sooner the better!"

"But the treasure..."

"You're still thinking about the treasure at this critical moment! Your life is more important!"

Hemu was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw Portsmouth was still standing there thinking about the treasure, and was about to drag Portsmouth away.

However, the horrific situation that He Mu could hardly imagine finally happened.

The red-haired girl was horrified to find that her body seemed to be frozen and she could not move.

Not only her body, but also the raindrops falling from the sky and even the huge waves hitting them seemed to be paused.

Time stopped at this moment!
Under the gaze of the two girls on the sailing ship whose bodies were unable to move but whose minds were still active, a dark red energy beam that penetrated the rain clouds and seemed to sweep in from outside the world fell from the sky and bombarded their secret base island.

Just looking directly at this dark red beam of light filled with destruction and ominous aura made Hemu and Portsmouth feel uncomfortable all over.

What made the two sailing girls even more desperate was that this beam of destructive energy did not stop after hitting the island.

The substantial dark red shock wave it created was spreading towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Just as the two sailing girls were watching the shock wave getting closer and closer, they were completely desperate...

"I knew there would be innocent people implicated."

A figure wearing a uniform similar to that of the city-state's official army appeared in front of them like an indestructible wall.

In an instant, Hemu and Portsmouth felt that their bodies had regained their ability to move, and the physical discomfort they had just felt suddenly disappeared.

"Run! You can't withstand this impact!"

"That's right! Where did you come from? This is a natural disaster that cannot be stopped by human power. Come with us!"

Harmony and Portsmouth almost simultaneously and without hesitation shouted to the man who helped them regain their mobility.

But the next second, a scene appeared that overturned the worldview of the two sailing ship girls.

The spreading speed of the dark red shock wave seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint, and it instantly accelerated, covering them and the figure in front of them.

But the death they expected did not come.

These dark red energies filled with destructive aura seemed to be split apart in front of the owner of this figure, and they were also protected.

After a few seconds, the dark red energy around finally dissipated.

The thick rain clouds that originally covered the sky in this sea area disappeared as if evaporated by the huge dark red energy, revealing the clear evening sky dyed with orange-yellow sunlight.

Time resumed its flow and the world returned to calm, making the two girls on the sailing ship feel as if the nightmare-like experiences they had just had were just illusions.

If it weren't for the huge, deep dark red energy ball floating above their disappeared secret base island, and the figure that protected them was still standing.

"Okay, it's okay now. I'm sorry to have affected you."

It was not until this time that the master in the clean white uniform turned around, looked at the two sailing ship girls with a slightly apologetic expression, and said with a gentle smile.

It was Lin Lan who used the power of invisible breath to enter the world in advance.

The reason why he wanted to do this was because he had already confirmed with Elizabeth meta on the back of Miss D's ship whale that this so-called Antix secret experimental world -

It is the hometown of a group of sailing ship girls such as Royal Fortune and Golden Deer, the city-state world!
It was also the world where he was inexplicably brought the compass given to him by the royal fortune last time, and experienced an adventure in searching for the fountain of youth!
In other words, there are no humans in this world at all.

All residents are sailing ship girls!
