Volume 2: Lost in the Sea of Fog [030] The City of Golden Armor
Ten minutes and ten minutes, the Black Knife had been completely derailed.
Marnie stared at the Hungry King, who shrank back and looked at Hawkins for help.
"The other party is moving, don't worry, I'll let the Black Knife speed up. Hawkins comforted Marnie.
Marnie let go of the Hungry King, lying on the edge of the boat and looking ahead, her eyes full of anticipation, she wanted to become a gold farmer and cultivate endless gold coins.
"I'm out of class, I'm back to life!" Mark yelled out of the cabin.
Hawkins laughed, "Is your homework done?"
"No ......"
Mark suddenly fell to the ground and replied weakly.
But then he got up and sat next to Hawkins, and complained: "Captain, I really don't need to learn more theoretical knowledge, what I need is actual combat, more practical experience!"
"You should study well with Anubis. Hawkins said calmly.
Anubis didn't like to study either, but when he found out that the knowledge taught at Mobis Academy was useful to him, he quickly threw himself into his studies.
"I think it's more important to practice than to learn. Mark said stubbornly.
Because the Black Knife was accelerating, a huge silhouette faintly appeared in front of it, and it was a long creature that was moving in an S shape.
"What's that?" Mark immediately stood up, surprised.
Hawkins smiled, "Living gold." ”
"Gold, don't run!" Marnie shouted as she perked up.
However, the black shadow in the fog was still moving rapidly, and there was no intention of staying at all, because there was still some distance, and Hawkins and the others couldn't even see what it was.
"Captain, is that a snake?" Mark guessed.
Marnie guessed, "It could be a caterpillar." ”
"That's a yellow eel!" guessed the Hungry King.
Hawkins was noncommittal and said with a smile: "If you catch up, you will know what it is." ”
The next moment, the speed of the Black Knife increased dramatically, and it quickly caught up with the black shadow in the mist.
As the two approached, the mist gradually became lighter, not as dense as before, and large areas of golden scales appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Gold!"
Marnie's eyes lit up and she exclaimed.
She can be wrong for anything, but she will never be wrong for gold.
The hungry king moved its nose at this time, its eyes gradually widened, it raised its head and sniffed the sky, and then took a deep breath forward, and finally its ears pricked up, and it was surprised: "There is a large amount of gold!"
"Lots of gold?" said Marnie, looking back at the Hungry King.
The Hungry King hurriedly nodded and said, "In front, about half an hour's voyage, there is a large amount of gold." ”
"That may be the snake's destination. Mark guessed.
Hawkins smiled: "It seems that there will be a good harvest this time." ”
Unfortunately, this was an accident, so there was no way to support Marnie in advance, otherwise all the gold could be kept as a backup resource.
Under Hawkins' control, the Black Knife slowed down slightly, trying not to interfere with the Golden Serpent as much as possible, and waited until it reached its destination to deal with it.
"Gold, gold, there is no lovelier baby in the world than gold. ”
"No matter where it is buried, it can't hide your golden luster, gold, gold......"
Marnie was in a very good mood, bouncing around the boat, giving Mark a cute face, and finally she sat on Hawkins' lap and asked, "Hawkins, are we still going to open this time?"
"No, whoever contributes more this time will share more gold and get more for more work. Hawkins began.
Marnie coquettishly said, "No, I want to open five or five." ”
"The problem is that Mark is also here, and the King of Hunger is also here, and if there is a share of the audience, it is also an equal score for everyone. Hawkins shrugged.
While the two of them were seriously discussing how to distribute the gold, the big snake in front of them suddenly twisted its body, and a large mouth of blood rushed out of the mist, as if it was about to swallow the black knife in one gulp.
Obviously, this golden snake knew about the existence of the Black Knife, but it was not in a hurry to kill the Black Knife just now, and now it was about to reach its destination, so it made a move on the Black Knife.
"Go!"
Mark reacted very quickly, and when the blood basin mouth appeared, he got up directly from the rattan chair and threw the Fang Tian painting halberd at the mouth of the big snake.
This halberd passed, directly pierced the upper jaw of the big snake, and the head of the big snake tilted and fell into the sea water on the side, setting off violent waves.
"It doesn't seem to be pure gold!" said Mark as he walked to the edge of the ship and looked down, regretting the sight of blood in the sea.
Blood represents flesh, and flesh cannot be made entirely of gold.
At this moment, the serpent suddenly emerged from the water, and a golden air jet spewed towards Mark, but it landed on the shield of the Black Knife, and all of them were resisted.
"Here comes the halberd!"
As soon as Mark raised his hand, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd that was originally inserted in the upper jaw of the big snake was immediately pulled out, and quickly flew back into his hand, and the big snake was pulled out because of Fang Tian's painting halberd, and there was another burst of rage, and his body swayed wildly.
This big snake's combat power is not very strong, Mark actually had a chance to kill it just now, but Hawkins was obviously ready to catch it alive, so he showed mercy.
"Captain, if you don't make a move, I can't keep my hand any longer. Mark grabbed Fang Tian's halberd and said to Hawkins.
Hawkins got up from the rattan chair and said with a smile: "It's really grown a lot, leave it to me next." ”
In an instant, time stood still, everyone on board remained motionless, and the serpent in the sea also became stationary.
The hourglass of time is indeed a bit inpowerful against monsters connected to the delusional realm, but for most creatures, it is basically equivalent to no solution.
Hawkins fell to the surface of the sea and walked up to the big snake, he knocked on the scales of the big snake and sighed: "It's really made of gold, but I don't know the specific situation." ”
If the serpent eats any metal and can eventually be converted into gold scales, then it is extremely valuable, but if it needs to devour the same amount of gold to grow the same amount of gold scales, it is worthless.
Hawkins was also unable to determine the situation of the big snake in an instant, so he needed to capture it alive and study it.
He sent the serpent into eternal space, then returned to the ship, and directly lifted the time standstill.
"Hawkins, if you catch the big snake, don't take the gold privately. Marnie warned.
Mark was suddenly stunned and said, "What about the big snake?"
"Alright, let's move on to where there's more gold ahead. Hawkins laughed.
Mark reacted, looked at Hawkins, and said helplessly: "Captain, please tell me next time you stop, this feels too strange." ”
"If this ability falls into the hands of a pervert, it will be a nightmare for thousands of girls. Marnie complained.
Hawkins knocked Marnie on the head and laughed, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"This is what Ma Ning Da Bichi said, not me!" Marnie said aggrievedly, covering her head.
Hawkins sighed, "Can't you remember something?"
He found that Marnie's memory was really confused, and sometimes she forgot everything that had just happened, but sometimes she still remembered some of the things that had happened in the past.
So occasionally she will burst out a sentence or two that is completely out of line with her age.
"By the way, you are not allowed to swallow the gold on the serpent's body alone, you must open it in five or five!" Marnie's obsession with gold has surpassed memory.
Hawkins said perfunctorily: "Got it, let's go back and see how much gold there is on the big snake." ”
"Don't try to fool around, I'll remember!" Marnie exclaimed.
Mark complained: "It's your ability to pass the level, but the captain doesn't have this ability." ”
"Don't worry, this time it won't be smuggled up, even Mark has a share. Hawkins chuckled.
At this time, the mother body has basically figured out the situation of the big snake, but unfortunately the big snake does not have the ability to make gold, it can only devour gold, and then transform it into scales on its body.
And this snake is very strange, it is black most of the time in the delirium world, and only during the breeding period will it devour a large amount of gold, turning itself into gold, so as to attract the opposite sex.
Because of this strange habit, they are as obsessed with gold as Marnie during the breeding season, and even take risks for the sake of gold.
In fact, this snake does not have much gold on its body, but there is a thin layer of scales, so it ran through the nameless fog and ran to the real world to find gold to devour.
It's just a pity that it wasn't so lucky and crashed into Hawkins' hands.
Half an hour later, an island appeared in front of the Black Knife, initially with an eerie silhouette, and when the ship approached, the whole island appeared like a masked woman, revealing a mysterious veil.
"Gold, a lot of gold!" Marnie was shocked.
Many of the buildings on the island are golden, and although the island is deserted, the golden-colored buildings are covered with a white layer of unknown material, but the faint silhouette still shows the golden splendor of its heyday.
"Captain, are we going ashore?" asked Mark, looking at the buildings on the island.
He sensed something was wrong with the island, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
Marnie replied, "Of course you have to go ashore, there is a lot of gold on the island, if you don't want it, give it to me." ”
"When do I say no, it's mine, I'm sure I want it. Mark immediately retorted.
At this time, the Black Knife approached the edge of the island, and Hawkins had a thought, and the vines on the ship quickly climbed towards the island, building a bridge between the island and the ship.
"Alright, go ashore!" Hawkins said, picking up Marnie and picking him up.
Mark gripped the halberd and summoned Anubis in his mind, then followed Hawkins to the rope bridge made of vines.
"This place...... I seem to know. The Hungry King followed Hawkins closely, and after going ashore, he glanced at the buildings in the distance in confusion, and suddenly spoke.
Hawkins smiled: "The famous city of golden armor, you should know. ”
Originally, because of the disturbance of the delusional realm, he couldn't see the right future for the time being, but after the big snake was resolved, the future of change was gradually smoothed out, and many futures were revised and returned to their origins.
Through the hourglass of time, Hawkins has taken the details of the city to heart.
