Chapter 60: Desert City
"Why didn't he speak? Is it angry? Eve thought to herself as she lay on her bed.
She paused, quietly got out of bed and secretly opened the door on the turtle shell, and saw Roy exercising his left and right punches, every muscle of his body trembling with his fist, as if there was infinite power hidden in it.
"It's so strong in control, do you actually limit all your power to your fists!"
Eve was surprised, and she could see how skillfully Roy was training, limiting her strength to a certain level while bursting with maximum strength, which was also her goal in training herself.
"If he had been stronger, he would have been able to hit something like a 'flying slash', right? However, this kind of move didn't work much for him as a volcano, after all, if he shot a cloud of lava, it would definitely be more destructive than simply hitting an attack like 'Flying Slash'. ”
Eve gripped her long knife and muttered, "Can my 'Mirror Flower' slash him....."
Suddenly, she shook her head and smiled, "Really, how can you say stupid things about slashing your partner...."
.....
The next day, the flying shark summoned by Eve galloped against the sand, and the two sat on it, looking for anything but sand.
The flying shark has a very sensitive sense of smell, and it only took a few hours for it to make a new discovery.
It stopped behind a hill, and the two jumped down and looked at it on their stomachs.
"The Navy's Emblem!" Roy saw many white tents in the tents below, with Navy flags flying high.
Eve pointed somewhere, and Roy said, "I guess it's a pirate or something." ”
Where Eve was pointing, there was a man tied to a pillar and hung up.
The two of them moved downward, allowing the dunes to obscure their figures, and Eve said, "What do you think?" ”
"Otherwise, let's get in touch, maybe they've found a place where there are people!" Roy said.
"Okay." Eve nodded.
The two of them rose from the sand dunes and walked down, and Roy shouted, "The navy below, we two are bounty hunters, I want to ask if you have found the town or village!" ”
Bang~
A gunshot rang out, causing the two to stop and enter a state of imminent battle.
"You two are not allowed to come any closer!" There was a response from the camp, and hundreds of navy officers appeared, all guns in their hands pointed at the two men.
Roy and Eve stopped, their expressions grim.
At this time, there was a loud shout from inside: "If you are looking for a city, go straight south for about 20 kilometers, now, please leave immediately!" ”
"Cut!" The two turned to leave, their expressions a little unhappy.
Roy: "These guys, their attitude is terrible. I know a navy that is ten thousand times stronger than them. ”
Eve: "It's just, just asking for directions, and actually shooting!" ”
Roy swore that "If that shot hits me just now, I'll definitely rush down and kill them all!" ”
Eve said: "I saw the person who shot you, he didn't mean to shoot you at all, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the sky." ”
"Forget it, ignore them, let's continue to explore south!" Their goal has always been to the south.
It wasn't long before they met another group of men, who were much more embarrassed, dressed in tatters, resting in the shadows under a sand dune, most of them with skull emblems.
"That's what I'm looking for!" Eve held her 'mirror flower', and a trace of murderous intent permeated her.
Roy grabbed her head and pressed her down, and the two were obscured by the dunes, while in the shadows, a pirate glanced in the direction of the two and saw that there was nothing unusual before looking elsewhere.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Eve was dissatisfied.
Roy clasped his hands to his chest and said indifferently: "Your murderous aura is revealed, if I hadn't pressed you, you would have been discovered by them." ”
Eve said indifferently: "What is that, anyway, my purpose is them!" Sooner or later, we're going to have to do it openly. ”
Roy covered his eyes and said: "I know this group of pirates, it should be called the 'Plague Pirates', the captain is nicknamed 'Plague', and the bounty is 110 million Bailey, they are quite vicious pirates!" ”
"The pirate with a bounty of more than 100 million is not so easy to deal with, and he also has powerful characters under him, aren't you looking for death when you rush over like this!"
Eve angrily pointed to Roy's nose and said:
"What do you know, that guy called 'Plague' is not strong in physical strength, his ability can cause a large-scale plague, and the casualties of the civilians on the islands he passes through are extremely serious, so he is regarded as a thorn in the side of the world government and offers a bounty far exceeding his strength!"
"The potential danger brought by his ability is far greater than his strength, so as long as I go head-to-head, I will definitely be able to kill him!"
"His abilities have something to do with the plague?" Roy only knew about the pirates and the people who were being bountied, but he didn't know what they were capable of.
Eve took a deep breath and said:
"He is a 'plague fruit' ability, he is a plague person, he can make others infected with serious plague through contact or poison, once infected, at least three days, at most three months, the infected person will die, and the plague he spreads will also be infected!"
"Now, thousands of people have been infected, and if I don't kill him as soon as possible, more people will definitely die because of the spread of those plagues, and maybe someone will die because of it every day it drags on..."
"Then, I'll help you!" Roy grinned, condensed a prototype of a 'Comet Strike', and leapt from behind the dunes.
Syllable~
Falling on the sand, Roy dispersed the magma and turned back with some embarrassment: "I can't find anyone....."
"It's all your fault!" Eve was furious and kicked Roy dozens of meters away.
Five minutes later, on the flying shark, Roy looked at Eve with a smile on his face and said, "Sorry for delaying your rescue, next time I see them, I will ensure that I am in front of me, and strive to kill them all!" ”
"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time!" Eve's face, which had been cold for a long time, gradually recovered, and she said hatefully: "It's all because of those pirates, I don't know which direction I ran away..."
Roy brought her a cup of hot water and said with a smile: "It's not far from the city that the navy said, if we go there and wait, we might meet them." ”
Eve drank all the hot water in one gulp, clasped her hands to her chest, and the breath she held seemed to be going away for the time being.
After another five minutes, the two of them stood up from the back of the flying shark together, and in the distance, a small town appeared, and people could be faintly seen coming and going.
"Yo-hoo~" Roy laughed and flew towards the town, and behind him, Eve also made the flying shark speed up towards the city.
As long as there are towns, then everything is easy to say.
The towns are not desolate, and most of the houses are only one-storey and not particularly beautiful.
Everywhere on the street, you can see some yellow-faced and thin-skinned people sitting in the shadows by the wall, all of them with a dejected face and a sense of despair.
Most of the people walking on the street were dressed in stone-like armor, and their skin was indistinguishable from that of humans, but Roy saw that those in stone armor had some fine scales on their palms, and their nails looked like the claws of beasts, which seemed to be able to contract freely.
"Welcome to Quicksand City, my name is Arnold, and you two have just come from the outside world, right?" A man wearing only stone pants greeted him, smiling.
At this time, the people in the shadows looked up at them, but when they saw that they didn't have any packages on them, they didn't care at all.
