Chapter 553: Diving into the Abyss (16)
Within a quarter of an hour, the rest of the people who had gone to rest rushed back to the control room. Elaine, the young bearman, arrived, hiding behind Constantine with a face of shame.
"It's almost time to go ashore, sit down and be silent. Tristan put away his smile and sat back in his captain's seat to command.
The Ice Crystal is expected to make landfall in Turkia, a seaport southeast of Romani territory. It was evening, and although it was a good choice to go ashore in the dark twilight, it was inevitable that you would be ambushed by the enemy, and the landing process would be very dangerous.
"Again," Ivan asked in a low voice, "Are you sure the enemy thinks we're dead?" "Well, God knows. Tristan shook his head.
The bottom of the Black Sea was dark and hidden, and the Ice Crystal sailed all the way under its cover without any attack. Once ashore, the situation is completely different: everyone walks in the wilderness of Romani, like a living target, ready to be attacked by the foxes. Their security is based entirely on [being undetected by the enemy], and this foundation has not been very reliable from the beginning.
The ship floated silently from the bottom of the sea, barely touching the bottom of the sea, and slowly came to shore.
"Turn the optical camouflage to the maximum. Let's go ashore. Tristan commanded.
The shell of [Ice Crystal] already has the ability to deflect light, and it looks almost transparent from the outside. With an additional layer of enchantment protection, its transparency has been enhanced once again. The boat is safely parked among the reefs on the coast, perfectly concealing itself in the black reef thickets, almost at one with the environment.
"Okay, there's no anomaly around, let's go. Ivan waved his hand as he watched.
Tristan jumped out of the hatch first, landing lightly on a large flat reef in front of him.
Ivan jumped down immediately after that, calculating the rhythm of the tide crashing against the shore, so that the impact of the landing was drowned out by the tide.
The metallic luster of the whole body, the very conspicuous dragonman golem Bols, covers his whole body with a black cloak. He picked up the White Bearman boy Elaine and jumped off the boat, landing (unexpectedly) silently.
Mage Merlin performed a light drop and floated down lightly. He controlled the magic so skillfully that the excess light emitted when the magic was used was suppressed so that it was almost invisible.
Jaglovi and Pasiva jumped down as well, their movements not very light, but they didn't make much noise.
Lianyin took Constantine with him, and he also came down with a light drop technique. Her control over magic was no less than that of Mage Merlin, and the excess light of magic only appeared for a moment, and it was so dim that it was barely noticeable.
Bedwell (Albert) also tried to land lightly. Inside him was Albert's consciousness, and the big cat still landed in his feline way, all four limbs on the ground at the same time, spreading the impact out.
"Huh?" Ivan snorted, Bediwell's movements didn't look the same as usual?
Zuihou is left with Ryder, the rabbit man. He was about to jump off the boat when a strong wind suddenly came. The half-jumped rabbit was completely overturned by the strong wind, and fell to the ground with an ugly click.
"Shhhh
"Hug, I'm sorry" Ryder scrambled to his feet and patted the mud off his body.
"I just changed my haode clothes and immediately got dirty again, I really can't do anything about you. Tristan sneered and said, "Brother will give you a bath when you go back, hehe." "No need xiexie!" the rabbit looked furious.
"Now," Ivan turned to Elaine the White Bear, "Can you feel something, in which direction?" "Uhh From the moment he entered Romani's territory, he had a very nasty feeling. Now, he's trying to find the most annoying one among those nasty feelings.
Full of malice, sticky as a swamp, with a rotting scent, whispering of hatred and resentment.
You can't go wrong. The boundless darkness is here.
"In that direction. Elaine held out her finger. His instinct made him want to run away from the opposite direction of that right away, but his fingers seemed to be magnetically grabbed, pointing out the [dark location] impartially.
"Northwest?" Although he had expected that things might turn out like this, Ivan was still not happy to see this.
Whatever exactly that Elaine had pointed out, it was inland in Romani's territory. This means that this expedition may need to cross hundreds of kilometers of land, a stretch that cannot be completed in a few days and nights, and the danger can be imagined.
"Is this really the case?" Tristan also expected this, and immediately sighed, "Walking on the ground is not a pleasant thing. It's better to rely on my little buddy. The Fish-Man Prince instantly summoned his envoy, an Ice Mole Rat.
"Let's do it. Tristan gave the order, and the mole rat had already burrowed into the ground, digging a hole in the ground in an instant.
"Mole?" Bediwell (Albert) whispered as he walked up to Tristan, "It seems like a long way to go, can your little mole eat it?" "It can dig in the diamond-hard wall of eternal ice for three days and three nights without getting tired." Tristan explained impatiently, "This bit of dirt is nothing. The merfolk prince turned to the merfolk crew and ordered, "Stay and guard the [Ice Crystal], and if there is any movement, hide in the deep sea." Wait quietly until we get back, you know?" "Yes, Your Highness the Prince. The merfolk saluted respectfully.
Tristan didn't wait for the mermaids to finish, he had already jumped into the tunnel first.
"What are you waiting for? Tristan urged.
Seeing everyone jump into the hole, Ryder subconsciously touched the [Time and Space Ring] in his hand and jumped in.
Something broke when it landed. That's the Achilles tendon of a rabbit's heel.
I fell when I jumped from the boat, and my left foot, which was already aching, was now sprained by the strong impact again.
"Woo. The rabbit let out a low grunt.
"What's wrong?" the crowd looked back at Ryder in surprise.
"Twisted my foot. The rabbit tried to stand up, but tears welled up in the pain that caused him to burst into his eyes.
"There were wounded people just after we set off. How unlucky. Evan snorted.
"I'll take a look. Merlin walked over to check on Ryder's injuries, "It's serious. The tendons are broken. Why are you rabbit people's bodies so weak, and you can't help but be windy" shouldn't have been. Ryder thought to himself. This is actually one of the old wounds that came to [The Great Tempest] with [Silvershadow]. It's only been a few days since I was cured, but I didn't expect it to relapse like this.
"Don't say it, pick it up for me. "It's just a minor operation, don't worry. It's just more time-consuming. Merlin turned to the crowd and said, "Go first, I'll cure the rabbit, and then I'll catch up." "That's not going to work. Evan frowned. It doesn't matter much if the team is missing Ryder, but the ** division Merlin definitely can't be missing.
Merlin and Lianyin were the only two people in the team who could use teleportation, and it was up to them to escape in an emergency. One less person is one more danger.
"Is that okay?" Tristan had already raised his hand, collecting the moisture from the air to create a large chunk of ice. He continued to shape the ice cubes, eventually making a large sleigh that could seat four people.
"I see, so I can have surgery with peace of mind. Merlin picked up the rabbit and walked onto the sleigh, "But—" "Got it, keep the tunnel as flat as possible, huh?" Tristan replied scrimbly, "That's not a problem. "Originally, it was a tunnel dug by ice mole rats, and then I used ice magic to fill in the small holes in the ground, and it was not a problem to make a smooth road at all.
It's a lot of trouble, though.
"You don't have to do that. Leave me behind. Ryder whispered, his tone filled with guilt.
"We never leave our companions behind. Evan said, "Let's go." In this way, the ice mole rats dug holes in the ground to open the way, Tristan filled in the road with magic, and the dragon man golem Bolce pulled the sleigh, and the group marched in a mighty northwest direction.
Ryder sat on the sleigh and watched all this, but his face was very ugly.
(Can you weishenme take all this for granted?) Can you give me a reaction?Despise me, scold me, resent me, okay?) (weishenme not?) (weishenme want to be so good to me?)
