Path of Light.

Chapter 178 179. Nightmare Vine

Roy stood on the sea reef, a faint black mist floated from the depths of the sea reef with the sea wind, and there were foul-smelling water ghost corpses everywhere under his feet.

He tried to take two steps forward, and a strong mental force hit his brain. Roy only felt a strong dizziness. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, the sacred seedling in his body emitted a faint light again. The holy light, the spiritual impact was like hitting a huge sponge, and was quickly absorbed by the sacred seedling.

And Roy only felt that the mental power rushing into his body suddenly disappeared, like a roaring train passing by the tip of his nose.

He was clearly sweating profusely, but he was unscathed, and even the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose fell on the rocks...

He knew that there must be danger ahead.

At this time, Xiu also crawled out of the sea, and his body covered with scales kept dripping seawater.

A large number of water ghosts emerged from the surrounding sea, approaching the two of them.

Roy turned his head, only to find that dozens of Naga warriors holding tridents appeared one after another in the sea. The Naga warriors rushing forward used their tridents to insert the water ghost on the sea reef, and held the curved trident behind them. The Naga warriors of the sword quickly chopped off the heads of these evil spirits.

Relying on their strong physique, they stood on the edge of the island.

As long as there is a water ghost trying to climb the island, it will be cut down in the sea by Naga sea warriors.

From this point of view, the enemies of these Naga warriors seem to be water ghosts... Thinking of this, Roy was a little relieved.

These sea reefs are not so flat, and Roy is still very cramped when he walks in leather boots.

Xiu pointed to Roy... the water ghosts that appeared continuously from the sea, and then pointed to the depths of the reef island, signaling Roy to go inside.

Roy stepped on the extremely uneven rock and asked Xiu, "You brought me here...how can I help you?"

Xiu pointed to the depths of the sea reef.

Seeing Xiu's earnest eyes, Roy could only turn around and walk inside.

This is a sea reef that only emerges from the sea when the tide is low.

There are also some kelp and algae on the reef, covered with oysters, and some conch can be seen in the crevices of the rocks.

In the dark night, everywhere is wet.

The black mist enveloped the sea reef, and it was filled with a weirdness. Just a little inhalation made Roy's head dizzy.

After walking more than ten meters inside, Roy finally saw a Naga warrior lying on the sea reef...

He was lying on the reef, holding a protruding part of the reef with his hands, rubbing his face against the sharp knife-like reef, and it had become bloody!
It looked... like a sweet dream.

But... the process is not so beautiful.

These sea reefs are full of oysters, no matter where they are, they are as sharp as knives...

The Naga Sea Clan was lying on the road. Roy walked over quickly and poured a cup of clear water containing a faint power of holy light on the face of the Naga Sea Clan warrior. Suddenly, there was a scream...

Xiu hurriedly squatted down, and communicated a few words in Naga language to the Naga Sea warrior who was waking up faintly.

The Naga warrior covered his blood-stained face with one hand, pointed to the depths of the reef island with the other hand, and chattered a lot.

Xiu and Roy continued to walk into the sea reef, but none of the Naga warriors behind them came up.

Along the way, several Naga Sea people were found fainted on the reef.

They are obviously all asleep, but these Naga Sea Clans are almost nightmares. Some Naga Sea Clans are choking their own necks, looking like they want to strangle themselves to death, and some are waving their hands indiscriminately, terrified...

Roy poured seawater infused with the power of the Holy Light over their faces again and again to wake them up from their nightmares.

As long as he passed by, the Naga Sea people who were struggling in the nightmare would wake up one after another.

Xiu has been walking in front of Roy, but he looks like a drunk alcoholic at the moment, and his walk is even more shaky.

The two walked for a while, but they didn't see Naga warriors or water ghosts along the way...

Roy noticed that Xiu was walking more and more slowly. When he caught up with Xiu and was going to have a few words with him, he found that Xiu's face was covered with blood, and his eyes, nose, mouth and ears were bleeding further. ...

Roy quickly cast the 'Secondary Healing Technique' on Xiu.

When a holy light fell, not only did the seven orifices he had cultivated no longer bleed, but his mental state also improved a lot.

Xiu twisted his huge tail and moved forward quickly...

He didn't care how sharp the reef was, and even though several fish scales fell from his stomach, Xiu didn't make a sound.

Roy followed Xiu, and the two walked for nearly half an hour before they saw a vine plant on the reef in front of them.

These vines seem to have been entrenched here for a long time, and the entire reef, which is more than ten meters wide, is almost covered by these vines.

These vines look a bit like thorn grass, without leaves, and all the plants are covered with sharp thorns. Roy walked a little closer and found that some flower buds just bloomed on the branches of these vines, exuding A dizzying black mist.

Coming here, Roy once again felt a strong spiritual shock...

It's just that the devastating mental shock was completely absorbed by the sacred seedling.

Apparently, Xiu was not so lucky. He was so shocked that he sat down on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Roy once again cast the 'Secondary Healing Technique' on Xiu, allowing Xiu's injuries to heal quickly.

A holy light sent to Jinxiu's body, and Xiu stood up straight again.

This time, Xiu went straight to the clump of vines, pulled out an ax from his waist, and slashed at the thorns and vines.

A cane was chopped off by Xiu directly...

The water ghosts around the reef seemed to have gone crazy. They got out of the sea one after another and rushed towards the island. The Janna warriors standing on the periphery of the reef suddenly became stressed, and some water ghosts could be heard from a distance. Ghost growls.

Roy also took the opportunity to come up, and said to Xiu who was swinging the sharp axe:
"It seems that these vines are controlling the water ghost!"

Xiu repeatedly nodded, obviously agreeing with Roy's opinion.

Roy also took out a back hatchet from the magic pocket. Since he returned from the Magala jungle, he almost always carried it with him, whether it was a water bag or outdoor items such as a hatchet.

Now this hatchet is naturally useful. Roy imitated Xiu's movements and kept cutting off these thorny vines.

chop chop chop...

Surprisingly, there was only one vine covering a sea reef, and the two men cut down the vine until only some roots were left, and these roots had long been deeply embedded in the sea reef.

As these vines were cut off, the surrounding water ghosts also slowly retreated into the sea...

Even the crisis on the Nautilus ship was officially resolved, and all the water ghosts slowly sank into the sea. In addition to the stench, the evil deeds of the water ghosts were clearly recorded on the ship, and everything else has returned to normal .

Even the faint black mist that filled the air began to slowly dissipate.

A group of Naga sea warriors also came behind Xiu from the edge of the reef. Everyone looked very embarrassed, but every sea warrior seemed to have a triumphant smile on their faces.

A white light appeared in the distant sky, and it will be dawn soon...

Xiu swam over with his tail wagging, and slapped Roy right in front of him.

The other Naga warriors also followed Xiu's example and gave Roy a high five to express their approval for Roy.

The night was slowly dispelled by the dawn, and this sea reef was gradually submerged by the sea.

At this time, Xiu patted Roy on the shoulder, pointed to the Nautilus not far away, and signaled that he could go back.

Before leaving, he tied two bundles of the cut vines and gave them to Roy.

Roy didn't understand what these vines were, and they looked very powerful, so he didn't refuse, and put them into the magic pocket without hesitation.

When Xiu saw Roy take the vines, a smile appeared on his ugly face, but it looked a bit pervasive.

Xiu took Roy to a rock in the sea, jumped up, and Xiu plunged directly into the sea...

Roy could only bite the bullet and jump into the sea.

Afterwards, Xiu appeared from behind Roy, put his hands under Roy's armpits, and pushed him to swim to the Nautilus.

Roy found that none of the water ghosts could be seen, and even the bodies of the water ghosts were not found on the sea. If it weren't for the stench in the air, it would be as if those evil spirits had never been here.

Xiu sent Roy under the Nautilus ship, deliberately slapped a huge splash, and then plunged into the sea and disappeared.

The crew on the Nautilus heard the sound of splashing water below the ship, looked out from the side of the ship, and then found Roy soaking in the sea...

At this time, Roy was still wearing thick leather armor, and it was very difficult to even float in the sea.

The crew on the boat quickly threw a rope towards the sea, Roy barely reached the rope, and then put the rope on his body.

Everyone hurriedly dragged Roy up from the sea...

Claire ran over quickly and was relieved to find that Roy didn't seem to be injured except for being a little tired.

Roy was carried back to the cabin by the sailors, changed into dry clothes, and packed the wet thick leather armor into the suitcase. While wiping his hair, Roy opened the hatch and let Claire who was waiting outside come in. .

At this time, the Nautilus is ready to set sail...

Last night's battle had left so many marks on the ship that the crew even started washing the deck.

Only the young elves returned to the room to catch up on sleep after the battle.

Claire obviously stayed up all night, and her beautiful blue eyes were bloodshot. Seeing that Roy returned to the Nautilus safely, Claire was extremely happy, and sat on a chair and asked Roy:
"Do you know those Naga Sea people?"

"Well, I am old acquaintance with the Naga Sea Clan who boarded the ship to find me. His name is Xiu. He helped me before, and I also helped them..."

Roy sat on the bed and explained to Claire.

"I don't know how they got here, and they took me to an island, and we cut down a leafless vine there, and then he sent me back to the Nautilus."

Roy added another sentence.

"That Naga sea tribe came to you just to let you go to the reef with him to cut vines?" Claire asked in disbelief.

Roy nodded and admitted:
"That's it!"

Then, he took out a thorny vine from the magic pocket, and said to Claire:
"It's this kind of vine..."

At this time, a round of red sun just rose from the sea, and the sun shone on the vines. Only then did Roy see some strange magic patterns on the vines.

And Claire also exclaimed:
"My God, Roy, you actually got back a piece of 'Nightmare Vine'?"
