In a room somewhere in Dmingham, five people of similar stature were standing in the middle of the room, two meters apart from each other.

All men wore the same style of brown plaid waistcoats, brown faux-collared shirts, and black jackets with fleece on the inside.

Behind each of them was a wooden chair and a low table with a golden ashtray.

In front of them, someone sat in the shadows, with only a pair of slender legs crossed.

"Let's get started. ”

In a cold tone, in the darkness behind her, five women stepped out with notes in their hands and came to the side of the five men.

"Sit. ”

The woman on the far left picked up the note and gave the order in her mouth.

The man turned around, put his right hand on the right side of the belt buckle of the trousers at his waist, shook it slightly, and lasted about 2 seconds, and then raised his hand to pinch the tie around his neck.

"Contrived. ”

The evaluation in the shadows made cold sweat slide down the man's face in an instant.

The pen in the hand of the woman next to her suddenly disappeared, and the next second appeared in the man's temple.

Without saying a word, he fell to his knees.

The head slammed into the floor, and the sound of the crash was the sound of death.

The wound was blocked by a pen, and there was not the slightest trace of blood.

The woman took a step forward, grabbed him by the back collar, and dragged him straight into the darkness beside him.

There were 4 men left, and their expressions did not change at all.

"Yes, death is not a reason for you to be afraid, for he will not be afraid, and even if his wife dies in front of him, his eyes will not blink more...... Go on!"

She was very satisfied with the reactions of these people.

"Sit. ”

It was the turn of the second person, the same command, the man turned around, the action was exactly the same as the previous person, but a little more natural and calm, to the bench, turned slightly and sat down, his back straight, and his face solemn.

"Smoke. ”

He apparently did a good job with the first command, so he had the second command.

Turning around, he picked up the pipe on the table, which contained shredded tobacco from the south of Farso.

"This tobacco is wrong, it should be from the northwest of Glenshire. ”

He spotted the problem and was smug at what he found, a trap that he managed to avoid.

"Failure!"

The shuttle of the pen plunged in, a drop of blood fell on the low table, and another person fell to the floor.

"His tobacco, which has to be made from tobacco leaves produced in north-west Glenshire, will make him furious if he gets it wrong, rather than telling people that it's stupid to make a mistake, as he is now...... Go on!"

It's a trap, yes, but this man's answer is very wrong.

"Sit. ”

The body was dragged out, and the third woman continued to issue orders.

Knock knock~

There was a knock on the door.

"Madame Pain, Thunderstorm begs to see. ”

The man who completed the task returned.

**

Two and a half days later, at the landing place of the Phantom Island, the ship's whistle sounded.

It was a little dark, a few seagulls were flying in the cold wind, quacking, and the explorers came out of the woods in groups.

Exploring on the island is a gambling process, with people who are full of backpacks and talking and laughing loudly, and naturally there are people with sad faces and bandages on their bodies.

More often than not, there are those who are not happy or sad, but their faces are significantly tired.

Donald and Lilo stepped on the gravel on the beach, first into the small boat, and then back to the big boat.

After the first night out of the secret realm, Donald and Lilo acted like any other explorer for the rest of the day, just wandering around the island, recollecting the mission materials they had discarded and honing their skills along the way.

Finger's ability was also touched by Donald in the past two days.

It can absorb various elemental energies to change its attributes like the slimes that exist in large numbers on the island, and after the transformation of the form, the control of the elements is even more powerful than Donald expected.

In either form, it immediately has the same low-level elemental immunity as the self and an instantaneous elemental attack!

For example, in the form of the fire elemental, Finger no longer fears fire, and when Donald unleashes a scorching ray at it, it will be directly absorbed by it halfway before it even gets close, and then spit back with greater power.

However, this ability also has a flaw, that is, the problem of elemental restraint, Finger's elemental changes cannot be changed at any time, but requires a certain amount of elemental absorption and accumulation time, so when Finger is in an elemental state, he will have the corresponding defect of being restrained by other elements.

As a simple example, Finger who enters the form of the fire element will be restrained by the water element, and if transformed into the water element, it will immediately develop a weakness of being restrained by the lightning element.

And the transformation between the elements is quite physically draining, at least for Finger now.

Of course, in any case, Finger is now a rebirth.

Returning to the ship, Donald ignored anyone, went straight to his room, put down his backpack and rushed into the bathroom, although he often used cleansing techniques to clean his body, the experience of surviving in the wild for three days and two nights still made him feel that something was wrong with him.

After a thorough shower, I came out and got dressed, and fell directly on the bed, and slept in the dark.

When I woke up, it was already evening, and most of the physical exhaustion had faded, replaced by the hunger in my stomach, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and the cabin was dim, only the bright yellow light of the window was faintly shining through.

Finger was curled up in a ball, and on the other bed was the sound of straws, and Lilo was leaning against the wall drinking lime juice.

"Let's go, let's go to dinner. ”

Touching Finger's back, the latter's ears twitched, and he immediately got up and jumped into Donald's arms, and the two of them went to the dining room of the ship.

"Potatoes and beef, give me two grilled fish, a corn bisque and two croissants, thank you. ”

The food on board is not ordered, but they take it to their liking after it is ready.

He sat down casually with a plate and feasted, the two days on the island were all wild fruits and unseasoned barbecued meat, and the lackluster taste made him miss normal food very much.

"Donald, how is this expedition going, did you find what you need?"

It was meal time, and when Mengsk came in through the door, he saw Donald at first sight, and leaned straight up with his food.

"As far as the ending is concerned, I am very satisfied and have gained a lot!"

Thinking of the two backpacks full of his cabin and touching Finger who was squatting on the table next to him eating grilled fish, the smile on Donald's face couldn't stop showing it.

The harvest of this trip was undoubtedly unexpected, just those mixed fruit made his trip worthwhile, not to mention the harvest of an elemental beast.

There is no reason to be dissatisfied.

"That's good, I was worried about you having an accident on the island. ”

Mengsk cut the steak and said with a sigh of relief.

"Worry about me, what do you say? Lilo, don't just drink a drink, this soup is good. ”

Divide the corn puree in half from the plate and hold it in a small bowl in front of Lilo, who pulls out the straw in the lime juice and inserts it directly into the corn.

"Don't you know? On the first night of landing on the island, a giant slime suddenly appeared on the Shapeling Island, sweeping back and forth with a group of shapeshifting slimes, and I heard from the people who returned to the ship to recuperate that at first some people thought it was a special beast and wanted to go up and try to hunt it, but it was directly blasted into pieces by a dozen bursting fireballs, and I saw those fires on the deck. ”

This is the latest talk on the ship, the aliens have never seen the giant slime that appeared that night before, and some people have rated its combat power at least to the peak of the awakening level, and the sailors say that it is the "big guy" among the illusion slimes.

"Oh, I saw it, it was far away, I thought it was on fire, and I hid even farther away......

Donald was wreaking havoc in King Slime's lair while he was wreaking havoc on the Shapeshifting Island, so he didn't know the details.

"Haha, then your luck is not bad, if you meet that monster, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die. ”

"How's your test assignment?"

Picking up a piece of potato and putting it in his mouth to chew, Donald glanced inadvertently to the other side of the cafeteria, where three familiar figures sat sitting.

If he remembered correctly, there were these three people in the group he saw in the secret realm at that time, and they didn't stare at it for a long time, just an occasional glance.

Powerful aliens are sensitive to prying eyes from the outside world.

"It's not bad, to be honest, although I've seen a lot of blueprints before, I'm still a little surprised by the strength of those mechanical golems, if the energy is generated into a large-scale combat force, the enemies of the empire may be in trouble. ”

Picking up the glass and taking a sip of rum, Mengsk looked in a good mood.

"By the way, do you know the people over there? It's the guy at the table behind you, I saw them on the island holding a shapeshifter, and it looks weird. ”

As if he inadvertently found someone over there, Donald didn't mention the secret realm, only said that he accidentally encountered it on the island.

The phantom slime in the storage compartment was very close to the mechanical golem, although Mengsk didn't know the exact contents of the wooden box, but he also said that it was a probe, and since he knew something, someone naturally mentioned this wooden box to him.

That's why Donald thought that Mengsk might know something, so he asked.

"Which ...... Oh, I don't know them, but I met them on Whale Island before they got on the ship, and they were a little special, like people in the whaling team...... In short, the strength should be very strong, otherwise those mechanics will not be so respectful towards them. ”

Monsk's answer made Donald write it down, and he didn't say anything more, and continued to eat.

The ship is returning to Dmingham.

The temperature at sea is much cooler than when we came.

Winter in Demmingham, is it coming?
