Chapter 298: Black Beach

"We've got to keep up with them."

Karn hugged Kai'Sa and got out of bed immediately, and in order to cope with the emergency, they all slept with their clothes on, and they just got up and combed their hair while dressing.

The two of them went downstairs and ran out of the tavern to the black sands, where the Ionian was nowhere to be seen, and the Sirens had not yet sent any ship.

They missed an opportunity to track.

"I didn't tell Sarah about the joint time in advance, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning." Karn said regretfully, there was nothing he could do about it, and he didn't know that the Ionians would get up early and go to the Shadow Isle to dig for treasure in a hurry yesterday.

"Come back for breakfast first? It's all done. ”

The proprietress called the two back at the door, and the two of them absentmindedly enjoyed a warm breakfast until Sarah pushed the door in.

"Coming?"

"Hmm." Sarah glanced at the others in the dining room, then greeted the boss and took a seat at Karn's table.

"Did anything happen last night?" Karn asked.

The sirens are hidden in the reef and are not visible from the island.

"Nothing happened last night, not even a wave, this hellish place is lifeless, and people don't get used to it."

With a few anchor moves, she stayed on the back deck for half the night, thinking that a water ghost had climbed up the anchor, but nothing happened.

Sarah glanced at the breakfast on her plate and looked away in disgust, the things on the siren were much fresher.

"Tonight, I'll stay in the tavern, do you have a room?"

"You're in a room with us." Kai'Sa said.

Sarah pouted, and was about to be shown affection again. But it's actually okay, as long as you don't toss people at night.

"Are you going treasure hunting on the Isle of Shadows?" The proprietress asked, wiping her plate.

"Did you say we?" Karn asked.

"Yes."

"Go back to the boat and get ready." Karn remembered yesterday's luggage problem, and he had to at least get some weapons and put them on his body to pretend.

"Also, it's better not to go there with your bare hands...... But I think you might need this. The proprietress put down her plate and went to the basement to get a lantern.

The lantern is a container that has no candles, but is filled with golden grease, like solidified golden water.

"Are we walking at night? Why lanterns. Sarah leaned closer, keenly smelling that the lamp oil smelled of the guts of a sea beast, but it had been processed, and it was already very faint.

"It's not the lantern that's important, it's the oil." "This oil is infused with the essence of magic extracted from the blue sac of the fish, and when lit, it can keep out the black mist. But the light in the darkness can attract the attention of the undead, and there are pros and cons to using it. If you're a normal person, I'd recommend you take it with you, because the black mist alone can kill people. ”

"Mother Hu is below! The green sac of the fish, this thing must be ridiculously expensive. ”

"Indeed, but no matter how precious it is, it is not worth life. This thing won't be given to you for free, but my requirements are not high, just take a box of fruit in exchange, I haven't eaten fruit for too long, I always feel that my body is short of something, you should have it on the ship, right? ”

Sarah was still suspicious of the hostess's kindness, and was speculating about her intentions, but Karn agreed.

"Let's change."

Karn got up and left the tavern, and went to the docks to make the boat Sarah had been in and returned to the Siren.

Once on board, Karn saw a heavily armed Raven, dressed in knight's armor from nowhere, armed with a scimitar, seemingly ready to fight the undead.

"First mate Raven, you just stay on the ship, you don't need to go to the island."

Raven was a little frustrated when he heard this, he was still looking forward to this adventure.

Karn went back to his room and took the small cloth bag with him, then went into the warehouse and retrieved a silver weapon, saying that he had soaked it in the holy spring of Ionia. Then he carried a box of citrus to the boat, ready to exchange it for a lantern.

They weren't going to drive the Siren directly to the beach of Shadow Isle and leave a boatload of living people waiting for them on the shore, the target was too big to easily attract the attention of the undead.

The boat had sailed to the dock, and Fiet was already waiting for them. They put the citrus on the docks, got the lantern from Fiyette and set sail, heading for the Isle of Shadows.

"Remember to return home before nightfall." She admonished.

The boat rowed across the silent sea, the black waters parted into a layer of silent ripples, and Karn paddled softly, like caressing his lover's hand, for fear of breaking the silence.

They were watching out for something beneath the surface, but nothing happened until the boat washed up on the black sand.

The beach was desolate, with fine black sand half-buried with the remains of ships, half-broken blades and armor.

The black mist was surging right in front of him, blocking the daylight, as if it could press down at any moment, and the screams of the undead echoed faintly in his ears.

"It's really eerie here, in every sense of the word." Sarah disembarked from the boat and made a shallow pit in the black sand, and the air seemed to freeze.

She realized that the archipelago was cursed even the land itself.

Karn reached into the black mist, and he saw that the part of his arm that came into contact with the black mist began to evaporate a layer of white mist, which was swallowed up by the black mist.

His vitality was being sucked away through his pores.

However, when the black-purple skin armor covered the arm, the flow of life force stopped. On the contrary, the skin armor began to tremble slightly, and the bursts of needles were like the peristalsis of the stomach, which in turn absorbed the evil magic in the black mist.

But the energy that is actually transformed can only be said to be better than nothing.

"To enter the black mist, you must cover your skin with armor, and the mist carries a curse that will turn the dead into a necromancy." Karn turned to the two of them.

"Don't we have lanterns?" Kai'Sa said.

"Don't use a lantern if your skin armor can keep out the black fog, the light emitted by this thing will attract the undead, and it won't do us any good." Karn didn't mind using a lantern to trap the undead and try to devour them.

However, there are several powerful beings in the Shadow Island that he is quite afraid of, and if he attracts them, it will be more than worth the loss.

"What happens if you don't do anything?" Sarah also tried to walk into the black mist.

Karn groaned, then spoke slowly.

"At first you feel anxious and nervous, as if you are being stalked.

Anxiety can get worse and become frightened, thinking that you are hallucinating or auditory.

Hollow voices and vague figures will gradually transform into people you know are dead.

It is then absorbed by one or more spirits until it is no longer bearable, and the body is abandoned or becomes a host for another spirit. ”
