Chapter 42: Ethan's Blessing

Brad turned his head to look and saw that everything was normal, so he had to take the chill that enveloped him just now as an illusion. However, he was still vigilant, paying attention to the situation around him from time to time.

Ethan knew what had just happened, and when Xiao Ou heard that Brad actually wanted to make a prop from one of the organs in his body, he expressed his dissatisfaction slightly.

Continuing with the previous conversation, Brad explained why he had come to the sea in search of creatures like Ou.

In the Sea of Wonders, this creature grows very fast. When the adventurer discovers the existence of such a creature on an island, the creature has already entered the maturity stage and has a strong combat power.

Most adventurers even have to actively avoid retreating, and some of these creatures will even attack adventurers in turn.

Ethan remembered that Xiao Ou had attacked him when he was still a little bit, and if Xiao Ou became larger, he didn't need to exaggerate too much, as long as he became similar to himself, it would take a lot of effort to solve Xiao Ou's trouble.

If you exaggerate it a little more, it is several times bigger than yourself, and it seems that you can only choose to escape. At that time, Ethan's combat power was not very strong.

Compared to the Sea of Miracles, the probability of this creature appearing in this sea area is much lower, but due to some unknowable rules, the growth rate of this animal in this sea area is suppressed, like when Ethan arrived on the island, Xiao Ou was only the size of a little milk cat.

If you change to the Sea of Miracles and appear on an island that has been 'fully developed', then it must have entered the maturity stage.

"So when you see Xiao Ou, you offer to buy it. ”

Brad smiled awkwardly, he didn't just want to buy it at the time, if it wasn't for Ethan's quick show of strength, he would have considered finding an opportunity to snatch the pet away on this island, for this kind of thing similar to stabbing in the back to snatch the treasure, the adventurers of this world have no psychological pressure to do.

Ethan thought about it and beckoned to Xiao Ou in the distance, the little thing has been lying on Laura's head or shoulder, although it is very close to Laura now, but Xiao Ou, who is not low in wisdom, still knows who is the one who can call the shots.

Xiao Ou, who was summoned, ran over directly, and then climbed all the way down his trouser leg to Ethan's shoulder, and after giving Brad a vicious look by the way, he honestly squatted next to Ethan's face.

"Can you sense the magic heart of this island?"

Xiao Ou lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if sensing something, Ethan could feel a kind of fluctuation spread from Xiao Ou's body, which kept spreading to the surroundings.

After waiting for a moment, Xiao Ou raised his head again and shook his head at Ethan.

Although he can't speak, Xiao Ou can transmit his thoughts through mental fluctuations, and even Brent understands what Xiao Ou means.

"It doesn't look like it's around here, we're going to need to search around the island for a while. ”

Xiao Ou's perception range is not enough to cover this huge island, and the area they are currently in is obviously not where the Demon Heart is. Ethan thought about it, from the beginning of the landing to the subsequent route, in fact, they had been wandering on the periphery of the island, and the demon heart should be in the area closer to the center.

But he was not in a hurry to go inward, but made another proposal.

"We should go back to the beach first. ”

The people present on this island are aware of the situation enough, and without a certain strength, even if they just walk around the island, they are facing a huge threat - the pervasive negative energy has been eroding everyone's body, and the longer they stay on the island, the greater the impact.

From the beginning of the wounded people turning into undead creatures, to now some uninjured crew members have also shown some early symptoms, and in this state continue to wander around the island, these crew members are dying.

"Send everyone out first, and then concentrate some of the elites to search for the Demon Heart. ”

Brad agrees that he came to this sea to find creatures like Xiao Ou, not to ruin his 'family', and the experienced old crew who has been following him for a considerable time is the most valuable asset for the captains.

"Now that Beckford has set his sights on us, will he be able to return smoothly?"

"No matter how many difficulties you face, you have to get back to the ship first. ”

Ethan's words gave Brent and Bled enough confidence.

Ethan's previous magical attack made a deep impression on them, and in Brent and Brad's opinion, no trouble could stop them, and under Ethan's attack, all trouble would turn to ice.

They didn't know that Ethan's kind of attack was not something that could be used casually, although it didn't consume his own magic power, but the arcane energy stored in the arcane fountain was almost squeezed out before, and now this wand was not directly stored in the storage space, just so that the wand could recover some arcane energy.

What's more, that blizzard also brought a lot of burden to Loki, although he didn't suffer any backlash damage, but if there was another backlash, it would be inevitable, and with Loki's character, it was impossible to make trouble for himself for a group of inconsequential people.

Considering that this island can only trap most of the ordinary people here, but not Loki, he has no reason to strike again without reservation.

However, Ethan thinks that Beckford has no time to deal with them for a while, otherwise it would not be an undead clone of Beckford who appeared just now, but Beckford himself.

There were a lot of people who came to the island this time, and there were many captains who led the crew on this island after the separation, and Beckford would appear here, probably because Christina was killed by Ethan in seconds, and came to check on the situation.

After knowing the situation and realizing that Ethan and the others are not easy to deal with, Beckford will turn his attention to the other people, and when he has cleaned up those who are easy to deal with, he will go back to focus on Ethan and deal with them.

Although they seemed a little sorry for the other captains, Ethan did get some time to return to the beach in relative safety.

Since they had made a circle on land, they had reached the beach, but they were still some distance away from where they had moored their boats, but walking along the beach made everyone feel at ease.

The negative energy content of the seaside seems to be a little lower than that of the island, and some people who have symptoms have been relieved a little.

They didn't know that this was because of Serena's secret attack, and this vampire, who had lived for hundreds of years, was also secretly anxious after witnessing one 'companion' after another become undead.

After arriving at the beach, when everyone began to draw water from the sea and then used the Water Purification Stone to extract drinkable water, Serena finally thought that she could infuse the power of holy light into the water and suppress the negative energy in everyone's body.

This method is simple and rude and has no technical content, it is suitable for Selena who has mastered the Holy Light but has no way to use it well, and the Holy Light energy has an innate restraint on negative energy, even if it can't completely remove the negative energy in everyone's body, but it can still be done by delaying the undead.

With the current situation of everyone, as long as they can stay away from this place, in a normal environment, those negative energies in the body will dissipate sooner or later - the most unfortunate is a serious illness, but this is nothing compared to becoming an undead who has lost itself.

Serena made sure that everyone drank their own specially added water before they breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's because of using it too much, Serena feels that the holy light in her body seems to have become stronger?

"Because what you have just done is in line with the Way of Light. ”

Ethan saw everything Serena did, and detected the changes in the Holy Light in her body before Serena. Ethan certainly knew what the reason was, and this was a big reason why he never dared to truly incorporate the Light into his body.

This energy is extremely natured, although the Light has no requirements or restrictions on the identity of the user, even an undead creature can become a believer in the Light, and use the power of the Light without hindrance.

However, the user's conduct and behavior determine the degree of compatibility with the Light, which directly affects the person's mastery of the Light and the effect of casting spells.

Ethan was not a man of high moral character, and if he was allowed to use this holy light energy, he suspected that he might not be able to exert even half of his original power.

However, some people with noble conduct can increase the power of the Holy Light exponentially, and this huge gap is really helpless for Ethan, so he has been honestly studying his Holy Light - it has a similar effect, but there are no such strict character requirements, and it can normally exert the power of the Holy Light energy.

Although it is a pity that this kind of holy light has lost that terrifying explosive power, Ethan does not consider himself a child of any plane, and knows that it is impossible for all benefits to fall on him, and it is good to be able to exert the same power as the original holy light without following the 'path of holy light'.

Even so, he didn't dare to incorporate this energy into his magic power too early, because the energy attribute of the holy light itself was relatively extreme, and before he fully understood and mastered it, once he transformed this energy into his own magic power, then the magic power in his body would all be transformed into holy light energy in an instant.

In that case, the mage would definitely not be able to do it, and he could consider whether to be a priest or a paladin.

Of course, Ethan won't let this really happen, but that doesn't stop him from making a temporary cameo appearance. After finally arriving at the place where the warship was moored, Ethan gathered everyone together and offered to send his blessing to all of them.
