Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 55 Prepare to go deeper
"It's strange, why haven't I seen any living creatures for so long. ”
After walking along the perimeter of the island for a long time, no animals were seen, let alone caught. As for the river, the estuary of the river has not yet been discovered.
"Fatty, are you sure there is a river on this island?"
Knox looked skeptical, after all, no one had ever tested the role of Bourcho's ability.
"This ...... I...... I should be, but why can't I find it?"
He is still very clear about his ability, and he has also made temptations, so there will be no mistakes in theory.
It's just that the island is a bit far from the location he explored, and the island itself is a bit weird, and these factors make him dare not make a conclusion.
"It's not certain if Bourcho's ability is out of order, but the location of the ruins alone is a variable. ”
Viscount Eric said in a slightly deep voice, "There is definitely something wrong with this island, and even living creatures cannot be found. We still have to be prepared in case the unexpected happens. ”
Everyone nodded, with the existence of extraordinary power, the whole world is different, and there are more dangers to be aware of.
"Then let's look for it again, and if we can't find it, we'll go a little deeper. After all, we don't have much water and food. ”
Eric sighed, and it was helpless to continue exploring: "But there is no danger here, if you can find a water source, it is better to withdraw in advance for so long, even if you catch fish, than bury yourself in a strange place." ”
It was getting dark, even though it was already overcast
The crowd still did not find anything to eat, not even plants, but Bourcho denied them one by one.
"Uh, this can't be eaten, this is not an ordinary plant, this is a poisonous magic plant!"
Bourcho startled Knox by stopping him as he was about to stuff a small red fruit into his mouth.
"Although this thing looks like a raspberry, it's a poisonous magic plant. ”
"There's... Yes... I've already eaten one, how... Do it..."
Knox was a little panicked all of a sudden, he had mistaken it for a raspberry before, and had already lost one in his mouth, and the taste was so sweet and sour, and he was about to taste another one, but was stopped by Bourcho.
But after eating it, I realized that this thing was poisonous.
"It's not a problem, but don't eat it, this thing is poisonous, but the toxicity is not so strong, and it is not easy to accumulate, one or two pieces, at most it makes your stomach a little angry." ”
Seeing that Knox looked flustered, Bourgeois stopped selling and began to explain to him.
"If you really eat this as a meal, no one will be sure, it's not a big deal for you, but since you have gas in your stomach, it's definitely not too comfortable, so don't continue to eat." ”
So saying, Bourcho unpacked his backpack and approached the plant, and began to pick the fruits.
"Eh, didn't you say it's not suitable for human consumption, why are you collecting it again now?"
Watching Bourcho's movements, Knox was confused and quickly asked Bourcho.
"It's a magic plant, so maybe it will do something. ”
"Whew, what's the point?"
"I don't understand it yet, but that doesn't mean I won't understand it in the future. Isn't it too late to wait until you understand and then look for the materials?"
"Whew...... Whatever you want......"
Looking at the gradually getting late sky, Eric had a bad premonition. Neither water nor food is likely to exist on the edge of the island, but in the center of the most dangerous ruins
"It looks like we're heading towards the center of the island, we're running out of food without food, but without water......"
At this point, Viscount Eric was silent. But he didn't need to speak, everyone knew how tragic it was to end up without water replenishment on this vast sea with no water source.
"Prepare for it, maybe the danger will go down to the front and hide in the ruins. ”'
This island is not small, and everyone has not walked half of the edge of the island in half a day, and it took a lot of time to walk even to the center.
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, when I actually approached and observed the ruins of the building, I felt a sense of horror.
"Goo-dong"
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard in their hearts.
"It's ......"
The first thing I saw was a broken statue, the body was already in tatters, only the head was still preserved.
And what makes everyone feel terrifying is not how vicious and powerful the prototype of this statue is. On the contrary, in human aesthetics, he can even be said to be kind.
This is so only because the statues they have found are not something else, but people, pure human beings.
"This ...... Is it really a man, Bourcho?"
Viscount Eric asked Bourgeois, puzzled, and the other three looked away.
"I don't know, Lord Viscount, that the knowledge I have gained is great, but it is still limited. What's more, most of the knowledge I gained had no practical experience, just like encountering a dictionary again. ”
Bourgeol didn't know why there were human-like creatures here, even though he was a believer in the Lord of Truth, even though he knew a lot.
But when he said this, it made others feel even more creepy, this kind of unknown is the most terrifying.
Why did such a ruin suddenly appear in this vast ocean, or did it belong to a human-like thing? can
"Lord Viscount, are we going to keep going?"
Seeing this situation, even Knox was a little worried in his heart, as the Viscount's personal guard, he couldn't let him give up the mission of protecting Viscount Eric because he opened the way.
Eric turned his head to look at Knox, then looked around and saw a few people who were somewhat frightened or stunned.
"I know that you, including me, are terrified of this uncharted territory. ”
Eric's voice was low, like this difficult situation
"But we can't do it, our water is already depleted. To be honest, there wasn't even time left for us to go to another island. ”
"yes...... Lord Viscount, there is no way back, all we can do is enter the ruins and find out. ”
Bourcho replied, which was also a reluctant move.
"Swear to follow in your footsteps, Lord Viscount, and since you intend to move on, I will follow you to the death. ”
This is Captain Knox, and for him, following Viscount Eric is the number one priority.
"Well, let's move on, whether this place was built by humans or not!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount. ”
"There's nothing strange about these buildings. ”
Bourgeois looked at the remains of the foundations and ruins.
The form of these buildings is too different from the architecture of the empire, even the temples and domes, although they are beyond the world, can always be glimpsed in many buildings in various eras of the empire.
But the architectural gap here is huge, and it even gives people a weird atmosphere.
"Yes, except for the statues we saw for the first time, although these things are very different in style, in the end they are only a completely different architectural style from the humans of the Empire, and they don't shock us as much as we want to see people. ”
Although these buildings are dilapidated, they also show the style system of the building, which makes Viscount Eric and his already extremely nervous mood a little relieved.
"But then again, isn't that really a statue forged for a creature that looks like us? ”
My mood has been calmed down, and my mind has cleared up a lot. Extraordinary power has seen a lot, so naturally we can't make judgments.
"But Lord Viscount, that statue clearly looks like such a human being, how can it involve something else. ”
From the exterior of the statue, the person who was created is definitely a human-like life, but how can you deny that he is a human because of the different architectural styles, you must know that even in the empire, the difference in architectural styles is not small.
"You know, we're in an otherworld, Knox. ”
Eric explains to Knox, "You can't look at these mysteries of the unknown with the same eyes and opinions you used to have. While he may indeed resemble us, do you remember the frescoes and bronze pillars in the temple?"
"You're saying it's like a spiritual influence, except that it's more impact-oriented here than the murals, so much so that we hallucinate?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Knox had some understanding.
"That's right, Knox. ”
Viscount Eric cast an affirmative look and turned to the others, "That's why we can put aside our fears for a while, but we must be vigilant. ”
"Since they would have used the statue's misleading power so strongly, it must have had an unusual purpose, and this ruin will definitely not be simple. ”
"If this statue is just to cover up the truth, to use him to drive away those who have not studied deeply, then it is nothing, and we don't think there is any great danger in going there. But if this is a special kind of fraud, then it's hard to say. ”
"Lord Viscount is right, we can't be panicked or impatient now, and it's better to be cautious in the unknown realm. ”
Compared with Knox, Bourcho, who was already more flexible, and with the power of truth, his brain turned much faster, but Viscount Eric had the same thoughts as him, so he didn't go into details.
"But Lord Viscount, I feel a sense of familiarity here. ”
Alex, who was on the sidelines, suddenly spoke, "It's a very bad feeling, like the gray-white power I released when I met the Storm Apostle, we still have to be careful. ”
"The Power of Gray ......"
Viscount Eric's first thought was to fuse the power of the corpse's wounds. If it weren't for the sudden mention of Alez this time, it is estimated that the gray power he used before would have been ignored forever.
"Is there a ...... here?"
