Chapter 57: Exploring the Angry Waves at Night
The red and blue moonlight shines on the sea surface, and the moonlight sways with the ups and downs of the water surface, making the whole sea surface show a psychedelic color, and the sea at night is more beautiful!
A small boat rowed out of the moonlight and slowly sailed into the depths of the sea.
Suddenly islands and reefs of different sizes appeared on the endless sea, and these islands and reefs were connected like a long pearl necklace.
"Stop, we won't be able to use the boat any further. ”
"Have you already arrived on Wort Island?" Arthur had never been to Wordy Isles, but the reefs at night did not look like they could build a royal academy.
"In front of us is the outer island chain of Nutao Island, which is still about ten nautical miles away from the main island. The island is blessed with a chain of islands around it, which can establish a cordon on the periphery of the island and warn of the invasion of powerful sea beasts and enemies in advance. ”
Aretha took the boat, leaned down against the surface of the sea and slowly touched the outer island chain, Arthur followed closely behind Aretha.
As we get closer, there are two adjacent islands and reefs, one large and one small, and the sea surface is 100 meters wide between the islands and reefs. In order to dive into the island of Angry Waves, you must successfully cross this sea. The reef and the sea are unusually calm, without any guards or defenses, and are completely undefended. But is it really that simple?
Arthur stopped Aretha, who was going to go deeper, "We'll wait here for him to come to the sneaking thing." ”
Gru poked his head out of Arthur's cloak, and the ice goblin jumped to the surface, creating a block of ice under his feet. Gru sat on the ice and paddled as the waves rose and fell towards the sea between the two reefs.
Gru is best suited for this kind of thing, with the sea at night as a cover, the ice elf may not even attract attention even if it sneaks under your feet.
Aretha and Arthur waited silently, when suddenly there was a roar without warning, and a hundred-meter-long wall of water rose between the two islands.
"Damn, it's a protective magic array, what a big deal for the Angry Waves Academy!" Arthur scolded and was dragged into the water by Aressa, revealing only his head.
The wall of water rose, and a dozen blue-robed young men immediately rushed out from the nearest islands and reefs. Arthur had seen this dress, this was the uniform of the Angry Waves Academy, and it was the students of the academy who were in charge of guarding the perimeter. These students are able to tread water, and all of them have the strength of a warlord warrior.
More than a dozen young people immediately scattered across the sea and searched. Arthur and Aretha were still far from the reef, and Gru was small and hidden, so their search naturally found nothing.
A tall, thin figure dressed in the robes of an academy professor flew in from a distance, and all these young people gathered around him.
"The intensity of vigilance is so high, there are even general-level powerhouses on the periphery?" Aretha was surprised.
"Who trespassed on the island wall just now?"
"Professor O'Neon, we didn't find an intruder, maybe it was a large sea beast that had been touched by mistake?" one of the blue-robed young men replied respectfully.
"Mistaken?" the man known as O'Neon looked at the sea in the distance, puzzled, "You all step back behind me. ”
As the students retreated behind him, O'Neion began to build a magic circle on the sea beneath his feet. After the magic array, the light flashed, and the sea water in front of him tumbled and rose rapidly, rising to a height of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, as if a mountain of water had risen on the surface of the sea. With a gentle push forward, the huge mountain of water smashed into the sea, turning up waves more than ten meters high and surging forward.
The tenth-level water magic "Great Tsunami Technique" doubles the power of the water magician by casting spells in the sea.
When the mountain of water rose, Aretha's face changed dramatically, and she dragged Arthur under the water and swam quickly into the distance. Even so, she couldn't escape the speed of the waves, and Aretha pulled Arthur and sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
Aretha has been on the beach for a long time, but Arthur has never had the experience of diving to hold his breath, and he was not prepared to be suddenly pulled into the bottom of the sea by Aretha, and after more than a minute, he began to feel chest tightness and dizziness, Arthur was ready to float to the sea, but was firmly grasped by Aretha.
Two minutes later, Arthur felt like his chest was about to explode, and his consciousness began to blur. At this moment, a soft lip pressed tightly together, and he passed it in one breath.
Arthur woke up in an instant, and his eyes widened in shock, this is the master!
The sea was calm again, and there was still nothing out of the ordinary.
O'Neion shook his head and fell from mid-air, "Maybe I'm overthinking, be careful at night." He said a word of advice and flew away.
A dozen young men circled the surrounding sea again and then returned to their respective islands and reefs.
In the distance, Aretha and Arthur had resurfaced their heads, "Do you see clearly?"
"There were only two people on the smallest reef, and we broke straight from the reef. Arthur dived towards the reef first, and he hadn't dared to make eye contact with Aretha since he had surfaced from underwater.
Aretha looked at Arthur's back and smiled, "Little brat. ”
Arthur was less than a kilometre alongside the reef, and there was no vegetation on the island, except for a lonely wooden house in the middle of the island.
Arthur stalked, his body almost clinging to the reef and slowly approaching the central cabin. It's not hard to get rid of the two captain-level guards in the house, but the real difficulty is not to make a single movement and let them not have time to warn.
It took Arthur nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the door of the hut quietly, and Aretha stayed in the sea and did not follow, but Gru took the initiative to find him.
Arthur gave Gru a gesture, picked up a piece of reef and stood gently outside the door of the cabin, then threw the reef out.
In the quiet of the night, the sound of the reef rolling is unusually clear. Almost instantly, two figures pushed open the door and jumped out, but they didn't immediately notice Arthur standing behind them.
Arthur waved his hands together, and two dark magic "Weakening Balls" were silently dropped on the two of them. As soon as the two of them had a sense of powerlessness, two large balls of "Spiral Frozen Qi" collided with their bodies at close range, and the two who were in the midst of weakness had no way to run their fighting qi to resist, and they were frozen almost instantly.
Arthur and Gru cooperated unusually tacitly, and easily solved the two guards.
Arthur walked into the hut and walked around the room to find a small magic circle hidden under the floor. As a magician, it is easy to see through, this kind of large guardian magic array must have many nodes, just now Gru only triggered the "island protection sea wall" between the two islands and reefs, which means that there must be a separate control circle on the island. When the hedron in the magic circle is taken out and passed through a certain sea surface, the magic circle will not automatically activate.
"Good job, young man. Aretha was leaning against the doorframe and looking at Arthur with a smile.
Arthur was a little embarrassed, "Alright, we can move on." ”
Aretha nodded and led Arthur onwards, and the two of them left the reef from the other side, and before they stepped on the surface of the sea, a column of rushing water suddenly erupted from under their feet.
Aretha reacted quickly, pulling Arthur back quickly before dodging the impact of the water jet.
A huge balloon of water rose from the bottom of the sea, "and I knew someone had bad intentions." ”
O'Neien didn't leave!
