CH.55 On the island

"You will stay and guard the Holy Referee, and Alice and Hermione will land with me." An Rui looked at his companions around him and commanded.

Everyone nodded and divided into two teams, most of them stayed, only Alice and Hermione took their weapons and walked to Anrui's side.

The few people who stayed were relatively insufficient, but they could only be arranged like this. You can't just go up to the island and leave the empty ship here.

The three of them stepped off the gangway together and came to land, becoming the first people to land on the island among the treasure hunters. Hermione cast multiple illuminations, creating several balls of light that opened their way in front of them, piercing through the darkness around them.

The ball of light illuminates a world realm that is visible to the naked eye, while An Rui sees a world realm that ordinary people can't see with his psychic eye.

Under the gaze of these strange eyes, the undead lurking on the road have nothing to hide.

"Be careful."

Halfway through, An Rui's eyes froze suddenly, and he jumped forward, pulled out his white holy sword, and stabbed into the ground. A wisp of ghostly fire erupted beneath the surface, and a severe, scalp-tinging scream erupted.

An undead hidden underground came out, and the ghost fire rose at the middle sword, and its body quickly faded. His hands are long, much longer than the average undead.

These undead, known as "Earthbound Spirits", are a type of undead that are accustomed to lurking underground, sneaking up on passing living people from below. There are many types of undead, and Bai Ge's kind of undead is the most common, and strictly speaking, it is a resentful spirit. Besides. The undead are also classified as back spirits, parasitic spirits, aggregate spirits, etc., each with different abilities.

The sword in An Rui's hand sent an extra point forward, and the Earth Bound Spirit in front of him let out an even more terrible scream. It gradually dissipated and dissolved into nothingness.

"Alright, let's move on. On the way to go, you'll encounter a lot of these Earthbound Spirits. Anrui withdrew the holy sword, "These guys hiding in the ground are like landmines, and it will be very troublesome to step on." ”

"You've really got a pair of handy eyes, with these kinds of eyes. Don't be afraid of the undead anymore. Alice sighed.

"Miss Alice, if you like psychic eyes, I can give you a pair, but only temporarily. It will disappear after a short while. Hermione smiled beside her, stretched out her staff, and gave Alice a faint touch.

Alice's eyes also showed a pattern similar to Anrui's eyes, opening the psychic eye. But her eye-opening was only temporary. And not permanently.

"It's really special to look at the world with psychic eyes." Alice glanced around, and saw faintly blue shadows in the distance, all of which were undead.

The group continued on their way, and after that, they encountered some Earth Bound Spirits hiding underground. This kind of undead is relatively weak, and it poses no threat to An Rui and others, so it is easy to clean up.

The treasure hunters behind gradually caught up, and the number of people increased. But he was not in a hurry to surpass An Rui and these people, but kept a certain distance. followed. These people obviously want to use Anrui as pioneers.

An Rui didn't pay attention to the treasure hunters who followed behind, and still acted according to his own plan, since those people wanted to pick up the cheap, let them pick it up. Anyway, he doesn't kill the undead in vain, and each time he kills them, he gains a certain amount of experience points, which makes him get closer and closer to level 17.

The roads leading to the island are relatively complex, with a few forks along the way, and the terrain is quite varied, with wilderness, woods, and even stone-paved paths.

The undead on the road are not limited to the kind of soul binding, and after walking for a while, a big guy suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was an unusually large undead, reaching an astonishing height of thirty yards, with a fat and muscular body that was round like a large ball of flesh. His body was covered with countless human faces, as well as numerous hands and feet, some of which were armed with weapons. On the surface, he looked like a monster made up of dozens of undead spirits.

This kind of undead is called a merging spirit, and if a large group of people die tragically in the same place, and the corpses are stacked on top of each other, it is possible to give birth to this special kind of undead. The Convergence Spirit has a strange devouring ability, and after killing someone, it can devour the soul of the deceased, turning it into a part of itself, and continuing to grow itself. Some battlefields where the dead are piled up, and it is even possible to give birth to a super giant aggregator that tens of thousands of undead are gathered together.

In contrast, the Aggregate Spirit is much more powerful than the Earthbound Spirit.

The Convergence Spirit was suspended in mid-air, like a giant barricade, blocking the path of treasure hunters like An Rui.

"Someone's coming."

"Kill them, devour their souls, and make them our companions."

"Good idea. Kill them. Kill them. ”

The faces of the Convergence Spirit opened their mouths to speak, and each one spoke differently. These faces looked coldly at the treasure hunters not far away, and their huge spherical bodies slowly floated past.

If you don't destroy this Aggregator, you won't be able to move forward.

"Where to start?" An Rui held the hilt of the holy sword in his hand, and looked at the huge body of the Gathering Spirit, looking for the ideal attack position.

……

At the same time, somewhere in the basement of Onishima.

A black aura lingered around the long sword stuck in the ground, forming the shape of a human face, and an eye that burned like a flame appeared on the forehead, this eye saw through the layers of barriers, and took in the movements of the treasure hunter.

"Hehe, they finally ran into my little pet, try them with small pets first, see how good they are, I hope you don't disappoint me. The weak can't satisfy me at all, and only the death of the strong can make me stronger. ”

The eyes on the black man's face narrowed into a slit, and his eyes were mixed with joy, evil, and murderous intent.

……

A path leading to the depths of Onijima.

The Gathering Spirit continued to float forward, and some of its anxious bodies launched an attack on the treasure hunter in front of them. Some of the bodies slashed out with energy. Some of their bodies erupted with ghostly fire, while others let out deafening screams. There is no single ruler for the Aggregate Spirits, and each part of the body acts alone.

Part of the attack flew towards Anrui. There are also attacks that fly to the treasure hunters further away, and the power of these attacks cannot be underestimated, and each one is very powerful.

An Rui teleported, dodging the oncoming attack, appeared directly below the Gathering Spirit, and swung the Holy Sword in his hand away, slashing a solid wound under the Gathering Spirit.

Several separate bodies of the Aggregator are severed. Some of the half-cut bodies and limbs fell, turning into disillusioned fire.

An Rui hit the hand and immediately opened the distance. There is no rush to desperately. This is just the island only, the real tough battle is still to come, now we must conserve our physical strength, and we can't use too much energy in the middle of it. Although there are potions that can replenish physical strength. But there are limits to that kind of supplementation. Don't rely too much on it.

Most of the Aggregator's attacks missed, and all of them were dodged, and the missed attacks slammed into the ground, blasting out deep craters.

Several treasure hunters who were not strong were hit, their bodies were torn apart, and they died in a terrible state. A cold and strange suction force was attached to these deceased, and fresh souls emerged one after another, flying towards the gathering spirits under the effect of the suction.

These souls burrowed into the Aggregate Spirits. became a new component.

"Back off, back off!"

"This undead is strong. Be careful, everyone! ”

The treasure hunters knew that they were terrible, and burst into exclamations, some of them chose to retreat, and only some of those who were more confident in their strength stayed in place.

Alice and Hermione assisted Anrui from the side, one using a bow and arrow, the other casting a magic spell, and the attacks rained down on the big guy of the Gathering Spirit.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

The face of the Gathering Spirit screamed, and its huge body suddenly disappeared, burrowing into the gap in space, dodging the attack. When he reappeared, he had already flown above the heads of Alice and the two of them, and smashed them hard. The huge body made a dull noise against the air, and the plants and sand below were scattered by the strong wind, and the hair and clothes of the two women were also blown wildly by the wind.

Don't look at the huge size of the Aggregate Spirits, but the speed is amazingly fast, the undead are all intangible things, no matter how large the volume is, it will not affect the speed.

At the critical moment, Hermione raised her staff above her head, creating a glowing shield that blocked the Aggregator's attack.

The Convergence Spirit and the Light Shield collided with a loud bang, and the sound echoed endlessly. Countless palms stretched out, quickly extended, bypassing the shield of light and grabbing Hermin underneath it.

Alice took out arrows in her hands, and fired them in a series of quick shots, blocking the attacks of these palms with her arrows.

"Can't you be a gentleman to a woman?" An Rui's voice suddenly sounded from the side of the Gathering Spirit, and then a super-large crescent slash magnified several times slashed at the Gathering Spirit's body, knocking the big guy upside down and flying out.

The blow was beautiful and caught the attention of many treasure hunters.

Under the cover of this blow, Alice and Hermione once again distanced themselves from the Gathering Spirit.

Relying on the ability to teleport and the restraint effect of the holy sword, An Rui and the Gathering Spirit launched a circle, mastering the rhythm of the attack, and fighting steadily. Through his repeated attacks, he continued to weaken the body of the Gathering Spirit, as if he had a knife cutting face.

The surrounding treasure hunters saw that An Rui's attack was very strong, so they didn't make any more moves to help, and coincidentally chose not to move. In a battle of this level, if you shoot indiscriminately, it is easy to help.

Ten minutes later, the Gathering Spirit was finally destroyed, turning into wisps of ghostly fire remnants.

Anrui fell from mid-air and thrust the sword back into its scabbard. Although the previous battle took a long time, he did not consume much physical strength, and his physical strength was still abundant, almost remaining in his heyday.

"Let's move on." An Rui didn't stop long, and walked out of the road.

Two women followed.

"This guy is strong, we follow him and let him clear the way in front."

"With this kind of guy here, it's even harder to capture the treasure."

"Take one step at a time, he is strong, and we are not weak."

The treasure hunters of different powers whispered and had ghosts in their hearts, and they all followed behind An Rui.

……

Ghost Island basement.

"This kid is so strong, he almost single-handedly destroyed my little pet." The pupils of the black smoke man's face contracted slightly, revealing a fine light, "His body must be delicious, it's really exciting." ”

……

An Rui traveled all the way, overcoming obstacles along the way, killing a large number of undead.

The rest of the treasure hunters have gradually become accustomed to the free coolie of Anrui opening the way ahead.

But this wonderful tacit understanding did not last long, and when they reached a fork in the road, An Rui suddenly led the people to turn left. And this route is contrary to what is recorded on the treasure map.

"Hey, friend, you're on the wrong track." A treasure hunter noticed this and reminded him loudly.

Without this free labor, they would have had a hard time.

"Thanks for the reminder. I know that the road does not match the record of the treasure map, but it has nothing to do with it, and no one has stipulated that you must follow the route set by the treasure map. If you don't follow the treasure map, you might find the treasure more easily. An Rui took out the treasure map in his arms and shook it, indicating that he knew the records on the treasure map.

The treasure hunters looked at each other when they heard this, wondering what to do, whether to follow the records of the treasure map, or to follow the free coolie.

The difference of opinion led to two different results, and most people chose to continue to follow the records of the treasure map, after all, the previous road was relatively smooth, and it directly proved the authenticity of the treasure map. A small group of people chose to follow Anrui. Fewer people followed Anrui's advice and stopped relying on the treasure map, but moved forward according to their own ideas.

The treasure map clearly states that the treasure is in the center of the island, and that there are many roads leading there, and the path recorded on the treasure map is just one of them.

An Rui's actions caused the treasure hunters who had originally gathered together to act scattered into several groups.

The treasure hunt alliance organized by Bodie was also divided, and to be on the safe side, he sent a small group of men to follow An Rui, and the large army continued to follow the records of the treasure map.

Anrui drifted away, away from the previous fork in the road. I know the treasure of the dead very well, and I know that this is the real route to the location of the treasure, and the previous road leads not to the treasure, but to death.

"We'll encounter fewer undead from this path than we did before, so we can speed things up a bit." After An Rui finished speaking, he immediately picked up his speed, like a leopard hidden in the night, and rushed forward.

Alice and the two are not slow, and they can easily keep up with Anrui.

As for those adventurers who follow the trend in the back, there are few people who have this kind of speed, and those who have this kind of speed have to take care of their companions, and they can't leave their companions behind in order to chase An Rui.

Anrui ran for a while, and the back was finally clear, leaving only two companions still following behind, and this was exactly what he wanted to see. He didn't want to take those outsiders to the treasure hiding place. (To be continued......)
