57. The End of the Demon Hunters

Someone once asked me: What is the most dangerous thing at sea?

I said to him: "The most dangerous thing at sea is not the storms of nature, not the strange sea beasts of the sea, not the pirates who rob merchant ships and trade slaves at sea, nor the Naga Hai, the rulers of the sea, nor the Faceless warriors who invade the Vraski plane, but the hearts of people full of greed and desire.

......

Some of the witchers and adventurers on the island of Yam followed the 'Slave Traders' far behind us in sailboats, and our ship sailed at sea for three days and three nights, but could not escape the tracking fleet.

Ahead was the edge of the western abyss, and the sailing ship was about to sail out of the sea under the jurisdiction of Marquis Christopher, and the various forces that followed us did not move along the way, perhaps just waiting to sail out of this sea.

Looking at the sailboats chasing after me from afar, I seemed to be able to feel the smell of sharks in the eyes of the predators, the Slaver was like a school of delicious sardines.

Yes, maybe that's what they thought, and the moment we sailed out of the western part of the abyss, all the ships swarmed up and tore the Slaver to shreds in an instant.

I don't know if Noah will encounter such a thing at this time, but I feel that at this time, I need to do something.

Perhaps the bounty offered by Marquis Boris is coveted, but there is a reason for it, even with his toes—Marquis Boris, the current ruler of Vasqui's plane, can offer such a high price, there must be a reason.

However, driven by huge profits, the adventuring groups could not see the danger hidden in them, and perhaps they saw that there were countless ships chasing the 'Slave Traders' at sea with the same purpose, and they planned to come together to fish in troubled waters.

The number of sailing ships gathered behind the Slave Trader is like a huge fleet.

......

"They've been with us for three days, do you want to think of a countermeasure or something?" Ying Li said to me standing on the roof of the ship, holding a pergola and looking into the distance to catch up with the sailboat.

"It's actually very simple. I said to Ying Li.

Then he turned to Caterina behind him and said, "Tell the sailors on the lookout to wave the flag to the boats behind them and tell them not to follow our boats, eh...... Tell them: follow us, it's dangerous!"

Caterina nodded slightly, and she jumped lightly from the roof to the deck like a dragonfly skimming the water.

It wasn't long before the sailors on the Slave Trader's lookout began to repeatedly wave flags to the ships behind them.

'Danger!'

'Don't follow!'

I glanced up at the sailor on the lookout on the mainmast, and no matter how bumpy the Slave Trader was on the sea, the sailor stood firmly on the lookout and meticulously waved the flag in his hand.

Sadly, instead of heeding our advice, the sailing ships demonstratively pushed the catapults from their cabins onto the deck, and lifted the canvases on them, revealing the catapults inside, and they proudly threw several boulders into the sea, causing a huge wave.

Seeing a catapult on a sea ship dumping a huge stone egg in the sea less than ten meters away from the stern of the 'Slave Trader', the sailors on the surrounding ships let out bursts of excited cheers, and some other sailing ships also showed the figure of bed crossbows, it seems that these boats that hunt sea beasts in the abyss all year round are very well equipped with all kinds of equipment.

The sailors on the Slave Trader turned pale with fear when they saw the sight of the Demon Hunters and the Adventure Troupe following behind, and they looked like they were about to be in trouble.

The last flag unfurled by the sailors on the lookout on the Slave Trader was: 'Good luck!'

......

The sky is gradually darkening, another dark night is coming, the place where the sky and the sea are connected are full of clouds and mountains, a round of golden sunset is gradually falling below the sea level, and the sparkling sea is constantly churning and splashing.

There is finally a tidal island in front of it, this kind of coral island seems to be very common in the sea area of the Vaschi plane, basically after the accumulation of polyps for hundreds of millions of years, a large number of coral reefs have been formed on the bottom of the sea, these coral reefs have accumulated a kind of coral reef island that can only be revealed at low tide, and will disappear at high tide, and people here call this kind of small island 'tidal island'.

The first mate sailed the 'Slave Trader' into the edge of this tidal island according to the route recorded on the chart, and at the time of low tide, countless seas receded from the tidal island, forming thousands of streams on the tidal island, and in some places with large drops, there were even small waterfalls.

On my orders, all the people on board abandoned the Slave Trader and landed on the Tidal Islet.

The sailors on the Slave Trader were reluctant to disembark, after all, they had reached a precarious moment, and the sailors on the Slave Trader preferred to stay on board under the eyes of the powerful enemies around them, which might make them feel safer.

But there was a female tyrant on our ship, Karantso, and under her persuasion, all the sailors left the Slave Trader and ran to the Tidal Island, where we searched for a very high position, where all the people on board gathered.

The sailors on the 'Slave Trader' looked worried, and in their opinion, I was in a posture of fighting to the death, and our ship was about to face dozens of ships on the sea, and the people on these ships were not mediocre, and a large number of these people were demon hunters who hunted sea beasts at sea all year round, and they could almost be called 'elite'.

Only this time their minds were not used to hunt sea beasts, but driven by profits, they pointed the finger at the 'Slave Trader'.

......

A few days ago, I hunted a large number of sea beasts in the abyss with Noah, and they left us a huge fortune, in addition to a large number of magic crystals, there are also quite a lot of magic materials, and I got a lot of monster leather.

Yingli lived up to expectations and quickly prepared the 'milky ink'.

I've had a rare luxury these days, because even the 'Frost Scroll' is painted with the leather of some second-tier sea beasts.

After a few days and nights, we finally made up for the number of magic scrolls, and so we had this operation.

Katerina and Karantso each led a team of sailors, carrying the Sealed Chest, and set up a 'frost' trap on the Tidal Island.

Watch as the sailboats catch up from afar, dozens of sailboats encircling the tidal island, each with a different flag, which waving in the wind and making a fierce sound in the sea breeze.

The golden sunset gilded the hulls of these ships, and many of the sailors gathered in the bow, and countless crossbows and catapults poked their heads out of the side of the ship.

There were a lot of lifeboats coming down from the side of the sailboat, and the group of demon hunters was already a little eager to rush up.

......

Ying Li glanced at me, saw that I had made up my mind, and then sighed softly, then took out the 'Rococo Flower' potion from his bag and gently unscrewed the lid.

Normally, even if we set up a labyrinth trap of ice magic on the island, we would not dare to open the lid of the crystal bottle for more than fifteen seconds.

And this time, after waiting for a full thirty seconds, I asked Ying Li to buckle the lid of the crystal bottle.

Then I began to spend my mana and began to build ice walls on the tidal islands, watching the ice walls rise from the ground, and from a distance, it looked like there was a dreamy ice castle on the tidal island.

Fighting at sea has the advantage of being able to absorb those rich water elemental mana on the sea without limitation, and the rich water elemental mana around me allows me to have enough mana to build ice walls.

Just when the demon hunters thought that we had built a fortification with magic on the tidal island, they began to quickly deploy their men, and they released the lifeboats, which were full of people, and rushed to row towards the tidal islands.

At this moment, the sea around the tidal island looked like a boiling pot, and the whole sea began to boil.

Seeing this strange situation, many experienced sailors immediately knew that there was probably a school of fish, and many of the demon hunters on the sailing ship turned to look out into the sea, and at that moment, a Mork fish monster suddenly jumped out of the sea, and threw a sailor from the deck into the sea.

Just as the sailors on the boat ran to the speargun, trying to rescue the companion who had been dragged into the sea

Unfortunately, at this time, when several sailors ran to the bow of the ship, two more sailors were swept into the sea by the Mok fish monster.

Sea beasts are constantly emerging from the sea, although those demon hunters and adventure groups have been hunting sea beasts in this sea area all year round, but they have never seen such a dense group of sea beasts, looking at the sea beasts jumping up from the sea, the adventure teams on the surrounding boats became jubilant.

So, the demon hunters and adventurers who had surrounded us on the tidal islands turned to deal with the sea beasts.

We were standing in the heart of the tidal island, and we happened to see that the adventuring groups were already in a bitter battle, and the waves in the sea were rising higher and higher, and sea beasts were constantly gathering towards the island.

I saw that in those waves on the sea, all kinds of sea beasts gathered.

A conch the size of a room climbed down the hull of the ship to the deck, and kept releasing 'water arrows' at the sailors on the deck, and no one was prepared for it in a hurry, and several sailors were knocked to the ground by the 'water arrows'.

The demon hunters on the ship were originally good at hunting magical beasts, and they hunted sea beasts very quickly, and soon organized people and began to hunt these sea beasts.

Sea beasts were constantly falling under harpoons, spears, and swords, and these demon hunters were really very skillful, but the sea beasts gathered from all directions more and more, and those sea beasts were like waves, and they were shooting in waves.

At this moment, the sea ships and those demon hunters who surrounded the tidal island formed a defensive circle and became the first barrier of the tidal island, and those demon hunters had no time to take care of our group of people on the tidal island.

As the sea beasts fell, the hunting fleet began to suffer casualties, and some of the sea beasts rushed to the deck from the sea and began to bite the sailors around them.

For a while, chaos arose, and countless sea beasts poured out of the tide.

Among them, there are some huge individuals that we have not seen, a blue flag spiny ray more than 30 meters long jumped from the sea, the huge body is like a big umbrella, covering the sky, its body is wrapped in a thick poisonous fog, where the back spiny ray goes, the sailors have fallen to the ground.

There was a clear sky thunder on the sea again, and a giant electric eel king came out of the sea, surrounded a search boat, and kept devouring the sailors on the ship, and the sailors on the ship had no resistance to the electric eel king at all.

At this time, Senior Dylan stood beside him and sighed softly, "These demon hunters are finished. ”

Before Senior Dylan finished speaking, he saw that the sailors on the sailboat gradually began to be unable to stop the surging sea beasts, and they abandoned the ship and gathered on the tidal island with heavy casualties.

Maybe they think the ice wall fortifications I've built can keep those sea beasts at bay.

It's just that they probably forgot that just before the evening, our group of people was completely indistinguishable from their prey in their eyes.

When a demon hunter sets foot on the tidal island, flakes of ice and mist continue to erupt in the knee-deep water.

The ice mist filled the air, engulfing the demon hunters who entered the tidal islands......

......

The Slave Trader continued to sail at sea.

I walked from the roof of the building to the deck.

Senior Dylan happened to be holding a piece of magic parchment, walked up the stairs, and said to me with a happy face, "Jijia, I have good news for you...... I've fully mastered these magic runes, and I've finally mastered the mysteries of these space-based magic runes, and maybe I can fuse them into our teleportation magic circle and let it take us back to Illinus City. ”

"Senior Dylan, do you want to build a portal that can be moved at will?" I quickly leaned my head over curiously, saw him drawing a teleportation magic door on the magic parchment, and asked him excitedly.

"In fact, our imagination space is always very narrow, when we talk about a portal that can pass through a spatial rift, we will always naturally imagine a magic door in the shape of a round arch. Senior Dylan sighed and grumbled to me.

I looked at his magic parchment several times, and found that the pattern drawn on it was a very simple magical teleportation door, and I didn't understand the meaning of his words, so I said, "Of course it can be square or oval, is there anything wrong with that?"
