154 - Ruins on the island

"Run!" Hierro, who was running ahead, suddenly heard the words of the high priest "Let me down" from behind him, and wondered what was going on?

Looking back in a hurry, he saw that the two of them were facing the surging fish, and Boris was standing behind Will, half-crouching on the ground, and stretched out his hands forward in pain. Vere, on the other hand, stood still, as if bowing his head in contemplation.

"Run!" Those black dense dots are the tongues of countless bullet fish, stabbing straight at the two people in the same place, and it must be too late to run back now, the anxious Hierro can only shout, but there is no way.

At this critical moment, Weier raised his head, the runes on the back of his hand flickered, and a clear and soft voice melodious from the light that suddenly appeared in Weiel's hand.

Then, the fish-man guide, who was standing next to Hierro and stopped, saw an incredible scene, those dangerous bullet fish seemed to have lost their strength, and the surging momentum suddenly quieted, and the tongues that were supposed to be completely bounced off were only half straightened, and then they fell into the mire one after another.

Only a few bullet fish that had fully exerted their strength pierced Will's body with their tongues that had lost their momentum, but they were blocked by Borris's light curtain, and although these impacts also made a "knock" sound on the light curtain, they could no longer hurt Will.

Seeing that the fish had fallen into the water from mid-air, Boris covered his forehead and was about to fall to the ground, when he was immediately held by a pair of hands. "Looks like you've succeeded...... Not. ”

"We've got to get out of here, I'm just hypnotizing the fish." Wiel pulled Boris and hurried in the direction of Hierro, the fish on the ground suspended silently in the muddy water.

"But what will we do when we get back?" Boreth was supported by Will, and looked back worriedly at the bullet fish that were densely piled up on the ground.

"Maybe by the time we get back, they'll have already dispersed...... In short, we have to hurry up, hurry up......" Will not want to stay here for a moment, in case he gets involved and moves his whole body, although this statement is very bad, but to wake up the bullet fish on the ground again, Wei Er does not have so much nightmare fuel to use on this. To hypnotize these fish, Ver really paid a lot of price, and he didn't dare to risk using the least of them...... It is possible that the sound of the water will drown out that little sound, but fortunately, the 'dosage' of Weir is enough and loud enough.

The fish-man guide saw Weir and Boreth approaching, looked at the fish piled up in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up his speed and walked towards the other side of the swamp.

Vere's hypnosis still seemed to be very good, and in the rest of the journey, there were no bullets and fish to attack them again, and there were gradually more places to walk around, and gradually some trees could be seen, but there were many unknown snakes and insects that attacked them from time to time, but they were either cut in two by Captain Hierro's scimitar, or strung by Wiel's spear.

At last, the group walked through the barren, puddle-filled field, leaving the great swamp behind them, and the ground under their feet was a little harder.

When the group cut down the spiky bush again and walked through it, Weir and his party saw the sea and the sky in the distance.

"Look, what's that?" On the shore where there was no beach, there was a jagged little wreck, a ruin that looked like the outer wall of a tower, and it had collapsed. As they got closer, they saw that the highest wall of the ruins was only three people high, and the whole wall was like a broken biscuit, uneven.

Speaking in a language that he was not fluent in, the fish-man pointed to the ruins of the outer wall of the tower and said to the group, "Arrived...... Wow. Boreth looked at the ruins, and Ver looked at the moon in the sky.

"Let's find a dry place to rest first, it's too late, wait until tomorrow morning, let's look carefully."

"Okay, boy, I've been running for a day, and I don't have any free time." Hierro wiped the sweat from his head, the mud on his trouser leg was already dry, and he stomped his foot to shake the mud off his trouser leg, and Hierro strode towards the ruins. "If you look for something in the dark, you may not find anything. High priest, let's fix it first. The place next to the ruins is good, let's get the fire up first. ”

Weir took two steps forward, "Leave these to me." ”

…… In a short time, a bonfire was lit around the walls of the ruins, and four men sat around it, roasting some fish, several of which were bullet fish that attacked them.

"Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this fish tastes so chewy, no wonder it's so powerful, hahaha." Hierro took a grilled fish and used his fingers to break the meat into petals and put it in his mouth, "It's a pity that there is no wine...... If you could have a glass of wine, this fish might be better. ”

"I didn't expect this thing to taste really good." Vere took a bite. "Why did the Star Spirit build a building here?"

"A secret is a secret when no one knows." Boris took out a stone bowl containing a 'crappy stew,' "no need for Vere...... The vegetable chowder is more to my liking. Boris declined Wiel's grilled fish and ate another spoonful of vegetables.

The fish-man was like Bo Ruisi, but clumsily took the spoon and used it twice, and finally simply used his hand.

Will felt a little tired, and after eating and drinking some water, the sleepiness became even more pronounced, "Hmm...... I think I'm going to have to get some sleep...... Good night everyone. Then he stretched and lay down on a thatched mat laid beside him.

Hierro drank the remaining half of the glass of water into his stomach, and then stood up a little shaky, "It's still old...... The body is not as good as it used to be. After taking two steps, it may have been too dark for Hiero to see the stones on the ground, and when he turned around, he stumbled, staggered a few steps, and fell on the remaining ruins of the ruins.

Suddenly, there was a sound of grinding between the stone bricks, and a shock appeared from the center of the collapsed ruins.

"What's going on?" Boreth, who was eating, turned his head.

"What a broken stone! The aisles are very strenuous! Hierro stood up against the wall, but didn't notice any change in the wall. Well? Listen to the sound...... Could it be that I still opened some channel? ”

"Huh? Passage? Wer, who had been lying down, sat up at once, and looked into the darkness within the walls.

——

The moonlight shone into the big house of the Fish-Man Village, and the two maps were still on the table in front of the Fish-Man Elder.

A hand stretched out lightly, and picked up the small drawing in the moonlight, and the sound of the cane hit the ground, and the markers were flipped over, and in the light of the moonlight, the markers that had become the puzzles solved in the morning all changed their appearance.

"Spell...... I'm finally free...... The spell that binds me, the archipelago that binds me...... It's a pity that these seals must be broken in order to release the power in the vortex...... But as long as I can get back into the ocean......"

A terrible smile appeared on the Fishman Elder's face, "I'm still too weak now...... I need strength...... I'm going to let you feel it...... Feel it well...... Who should I take there today...... I can't wait...... Bear with it a little longer, and it'll be soon, and it'll be soon. ”

The fish-man elder muttered inexplicable words, leaned on his crutches, and walked towards the outside of the big house, suddenly looking at the moonlight shining in, and paused.

A tentacle stretched out along the fingertip of the fish-man elder, placing the small figure on the table, and when the tentacle was withdrawn, the tip of the tentacle gently touched the moonlight shining in, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, and it was carbonized into stone. The entire tentacle also retracted, turning back into the index finger of the Elder Fish-Man, gently removing the charred scales on it, and the Elder Fish-Man turned and pushed the door open, glancing at the room where Ollie and Pease were.

Then, under the moonlight, he walked towards the temple.

"Lorenzo! You've done a great job! A faint roar came from the direction the elder had left, but it was a language that no one could understand.
