Chapter 980 81. Once There Was a Sea

On the extinct volcanic island, we can still enjoy the unique life on the island while avoiding the pursuit of the faceless warriors.

Various towering trees, vines, parasitic plants, and low shrubs grow in the dense forest on the extinct volcano island. They are like a natural three-dimensional barrier, blocking the Faceless Warriors for us. It seems that no one has ever set foot on this island before. Pass.

I have led the sailors to deal with hundreds of faceless warriors on the island for three days. The sailors have gradually calmed down from the panic at the beginning. They even started to make large traps in the dense forest, trying to hunt those The faceless warriors who rushed into the forest hastily. After these faceless warriors left the sea, not only their combat strength weakened, but they were also very uncomfortable with this unfamiliar dense forest.

After the faceless people left the sea and entered the jungle, in order to keep their bodies hydrated, their skin secreted a thick layer of mucus. During the process of crossing the jungle, their bodies kept rubbing against the branches, and the mucus was inevitably absorbed by the branches. So it became a common phenomenon for Faceless Warriors to become excessively weak due to dehydration in the jungle.

The sailors' favorite thing to do is to use the cover of the dense forest to find those faceless warriors who are alone and whose physical condition has fallen into a weak stage. These faceless warriors have become extremely sensitive and fragile. Fire can also dry out their skin.

Sometimes, these faceless ones fell into a trap, and the sailors would light the grease-soaked branches that had been prepared earlier. Although those branches were still full of young leaves, they would burn quickly when exposed to open flames.

It's just that this kind of trap has a shortcoming, the location here will be exposed quickly.The sailors had to plan their retreat route in advance, and the other Faceless Ones would quickly follow the thick smoke rising into the sky to find this place.

Another point is that we must control the fire and not let the fire spread. After all, we have to rely on the dense forest here to deal with the Faceless Warriors. If a fire ignites the forest, we will have nowhere to hide.

A small mountain ridge on the west side of the extinct volcano island was opened up by the faceless warriors to criss-cross passages. Those knocked down trees lay in a haphazard manner among the passages, and our living area shrunk a bit.

And I found that in the past three days, there have been faceless warriors gathering on this extinct volcanic island every day, and they don't seem to give up looking for us.

Today, in the inland sea of ​​the extinct volcano island, it has almost become a gathering place for faceless warriors. There are at least 2000 faceless warriors gathered here.

These three days of living in the jungle made me discover that there are some bold and reckless people among this group of sailors. They are very obsessed with hunting in the jungle. Feeling unprecedented satisfaction on the spiritual level, they don't care how close they are to death, and they have an almost blind worship of Kalancuo, even if Kalancuo stands on the edge of the cliff and kicks them off, They would just scream with excitement.

So every day we will take some counter-reconnaissance measures against the Faceless Warriors who are looking for us in the dense forest, and will hunt them down in turn. The search team formed by those Faceless Warriors at the beginning is only ten people per team. However, as the faceless men team entered the dense forest, sometimes they would disappear without a sound. After that, the faceless man warriors became vigilant, and they increased the number of search teams to [-] soldiers, inexplicably searching The disappearance of the team was contained.

On the third day, these faceless warriors took advantage of their numbers and began to destroy the dense forest of the extinct volcano island on a large scale. Divided into diamond-shaped forests, they constantly squeeze our living space.

Only under the cover of night can we have a moment's rest.

We hid in a dense forest. The sailors dragged their tired bodies, ate two mouthfuls of dry food in a hurry, and then fell asleep leaning against the big tree.

These sailors are good at sailing and fighting at sea, but they are not good at guerrilla warfare in the jungle.

After going through the previous fresh period, their bodies have gradually begun to overdraw, and they need sufficient rest, but what we lack is the time for sufficient rest.

Two men, Katerina and Deborah, were on the lookout, and both had a natural eye for danger.

……

In this dense forest, there is no wind around, and the air is filled with a smell of damp and decay.

A flying gadfly flew past me and landed majestically on my arm. When its needle-sharp mouthparts tried to pierce my skin, I realized that it hit the iron plate all of a sudden. My fingertips A force of ice and snow was revealed, instantly turning the gadfly into an exquisite ice sculpture, and the moment it flapped its wings to fly, I sealed it in the ice.

I don't know the reason, but no poisonous insects, snakes and ants seem to be willing to approach Yingli. I guess it's because her blood has something that low-end creatures like Ling are afraid of.

For the convenience of walking in the dense forest, she wore a thorntail crystal lion leather armor. Only then did I know the reason why Helena's leather armor is always so clean and undamaged anytime and anywhere. The reason is: her magic waist bag There are more than one set of thorntail crystal lion leather armor on his back.

This level of experience in the jungle made Helena and Becky seem to have some new insights every day, and Karanzo and Katerina shared their insights with the two girls without reservation.

I thought Katerina and Helena were more similar in personality, and Becky and Kalanzo's fighting style was similar.But in fact, it was Becky who asked Katerina for advice on fighting methods more often, while Helena liked to ask Kalanzo for advice on sword skills. Although I was somewhat puzzled, this did not prevent Helena and Becky's growth.

"At this time, probably the Royal Academy of Magic should start." I sat under a coconut tree and said to Ying Li beside me.

Ying Li turned her head, her starry eyes were like the two brightest stars in the dark night, although I didn't look at her face, I could feel her smile.She replied softly: "Well, the imperial capital's junior magic academy should probably prepare a ball after the coming-of-age ceremony. Speaking of which, the Royal Academy of Magic should also have such a ball!"

The voice was like the whisper of the Windtalker, the voice was very soft.

Thinking that Yingli would also be preparing to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony after the start of school if he hadn’t been trapped in the Vashj plane, I suddenly had a strange idea in my heart: “Oh, having said that, I really want to know, if you are in the imperial capital, Will you participate in this coming-of-age ceremony?"

She stared wide-eyed and looked at me with some puzzlement, as if she didn't understand the meaning of my words.

She said: "Of course I will, not only me, but also Becky and Helena, we will participate together! This is a coming-of-age ceremony that is only once in the life of the people of the capital. Why do you think I may not participate?"

"I'm just curious!" I said with a 'haha' smile.

Seeing that she was still watching me, I continued, "Imagine, at the coming-of-age ceremony, my younger sister will give you a blessing and a gift, and this sister has already participated in the coming-of-age ceremony three years ago. Weird?"

After listening to my words, Ying Li's sullen face was like a blooming Ye Tan.

When she smiles, two intoxicating dimples will appear on her face. Although her face is not perfect, her exquisite facial features reveal the unique temperament that only the royal family has. Every frown and smile reveals a dignified and elegant ladylike demeanor.

Ying Li frowned, and murmured to me: "Hey, the implication in your words is that you dislike me for being old?"

"...No, no, of course not, how could it be!" I waved my hands again and again to explain.

Then I asked her again: "Oh, by the way, will your royal family prepare any special recognition ceremony? Or will you go to the temple to receive the blessing of the goddess like us?"

Regarding this aspect, Yingli doesn't seem to know much about it. She originally wanted to ask Becky and Helena for their opinions, but found that they were not around. Blessings of the Statue of Liberty 'Go!"

Perhaps it was because we were talking about life in the imperial capital, which made Yingli a little depressed. She lowered her eyes and said to me quietly: "Jijia, I'm a little homesick. I think Manda may have regretted it. I haven't been here for so long. If she can't find me, she should miss me too!"

"Uh, okay! Although I can't take you back to the imperial capital right away, I promise you that I will take you back as soon as possible." I swore to Yingli.

When I said this, I was thinking about the blueprints of the teleportation magic circle that Senior Dylan showed me. Those blueprints... were actually designed based on a sea ship. Although it makes sense in theory, but We are faced with many very practical problems. The first point is: Neither the 'Shirley' nor the 'Slave Trader' are suitable for transformation into a sailing ship with a teleportation function.

Because such a sailboat needs to have a high-strength structure when passing through the space rift, which itself cannot be afforded by a wooden frame sailboat.In addition, we also need to coat the surface with a layer of magic metal to avoid being swallowed by space cracks. Even if we want to cover a [-]-meter-long sailboat with a layer of rune metal plate coated with magic metal, maybe it is just to collect these rune metal Board, it will let us run all over Vashj.

"Hehe, I'm just joking." Ying Li smiled and said to me: "Actually, this place is not bad, it's a bit like Haiyinsi's open sea. My childhood memories are all in Haiyinsi, where people call it the water. The city, if I have a chance, I will take you around, it is a beautiful city."

Speaking of Haiyinsi, it reminds me of Uncle Fred, Sister Singer, and Sora. I don’t know how they are doing in Haiyinsi, and whether Uncle Fred has handled his housework well.

My thoughts were flying with the wind at night, and I suddenly thought of the city in the sea of ​​trees - Qiyan City.

I took Yingli's hand and said to her, "Of course I'm going. I'm not only going to Haiyinsi, but also Qiyan City."

……

Looking up at the starry sky of the great ocean, it seems that every star has woken up from a deep sleep, and they are crowded together to keep shining with silver starlight.

There was the sound of waves hitting the reef in the distance, and in the surroundings quietly, a coconut crab as big as a football fell from the coconut tree. It looked like a spider that had been magnified countless times, except for the two A huge crab claw, which has almost no contact with the crab.

A round coconut rolled down along with it, and that round coconut rolled down at my feet, and I reached out to pick up the green coconut.

The coconut crab that fell on the ground saw that I snatched the food that was about to reach its mouth. It opened its claws and crawled towards me. Its body seemed bulky, but its speed was extremely fast. It couldn't understand what gave it such courage.

"careful!"

Justus leaned over from the side, his cheeks were covered with green scales, and a tooth-white bone spur protruded from his wrist, nailing the coconut crab into the mud.

At the same time, the crab claws of the coconut crab just touched the coconut in my hand, and the huge crab claws 'clicked', pinching the coconut shell in half.

With a pale face, I looked at the coconut crab that was dying under Justus's bone spur, and the coconut that was cut in half. The coconut crab passed by, but was still waving its claws, and gave Justus a grateful look.

"Thank you."

The milky white juice dripped all over the ground, and Justus used a straw rope to trap the coconut crab firmly, and then the green scales on his face slowly faded away, and the fins with bony spurs on his wrists also retracted little by little. In his physical strength, he held the bundled coconut crab, shook it in front of my eyes, and said with a smile: "The coconut crab here is very aggressive. Some seabirds and small beasts are not its opponents. Its crab Pliers can easily break open coconut shells, and of course you can snap off your fingers."

Justus then said to me: "But it's also a rare delicacy, and we can just cook it up and eat it right now!"

Perhaps because of the stimulation of the 'Dark Body' potion, the power in Justus's body has grown rapidly recently, and it is precisely because of these powers that he can resist the drug addiction in his body.

At this time, Kalantso jumped down from the tree, squatted beside me and whispered to me: "I found it. There is a cave where you can live after climbing three peaks from here. It looks decent!"

My eyes lit up, then I looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said to Kalancuo: "Take a rest as soon as possible, after three quarters of an hour, I will take everyone to set off together, we... hide in the cave take a break."

"Okay!" Kalancuo nodded, and a simple word popped out of his mouth.

In the past few days, I have been thinking about finding a reason to bring these sailors into Xinliu Valley, but I don't want them to know the secrets of Xinliu Valley, so I asked Kalancuo to look around for caves on the extinct volcanic island. , I took the sailors to hide in the cave, and then used 'hypnotism' to put them to sleep, and then brought them into the underground cave of Xinliu Valley, they need to recuperate for a while.

And this extinct volcanic island is my battlefield. I plan to summon the orc warriors and barbarian slaves in Xinliu Valley to hunt and kill those faceless warriors gathered in the inner sea.

If it is said that those Faceless Warriors hid in the sea obediently, perhaps because the barbarian slaves were afraid of water, it would be difficult to hunt and kill them. What is there to be afraid of?
