Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [062] The Walking Corpse of the Sea
Beneath the depths of the sea, the old man is holding a mirror and searching for the little tentacles.
He didn't think that Hawkins would be able to find the tentacle that was out of the control of the King of Pleasure faster than himself, after all, he held the mirror of cause and effect, and he could lock the location of the small tentacles, as long as he kept referring to the environment in the mirror, he would definitely find the tentacles one step ahead of Hawkins.
But only half an hour later, he found that the tentacle suddenly escaped, and then Hawkins appeared behind the tentacle 'out of thin air', and then Hawkins used a throwing knife to solve the tentacle.
Wrong.
That's not a throwing knife, it's a pair of scissors?
The old man was dumbfounded, a little unable to react, how could Hawkins find the tentacle faster than him?
Obviously he is holding the mirror of cause and effect, obviously he should have found it faster, right, how did this little guy do it?
As a strong man who has lived for three thousand years, except for the countless monsters in the delusion world that can make him feel troubled, it is difficult to find a character in the real world that makes him look away.
Originally, in his eyes, Hawkins was just a lucky little guy, although he accidentally became a spell master of Ye Luzi, but without the guidance of a famous teacher, his future achievements would end here, and he was not worth paying attention to.
But the next reflection of the mirror of cause and effect overturns his conclusion, and Hawkins takes the small tentacles, with an ability that even he can't see.
"Is there another strong man behind this little guy who is guiding?" the old man thought to himself with a move in his heart.
There is a famous saying among the fishermen of the Seven Seas that 'the sea always hides bigger fish', which means something like 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the man'.
Although the old man is not weak in conceit, he never thinks that he is the strongest spell master in the seven seas, after all, there are always some old monsters who like to hide deeper and more secretive.
Especially some spell masters who have been cultivating in the delusion realm all year round, the real world has long forgotten their existence.
"Forget it, it's not an enemy anyway, since the matter has been resolved, let's go back to the delirium realm to cultivate. The old man thought about it, but in the end he didn't want to at all, and turned around and left.
On the other side, Hawkins returns to the cave and uses the Spirit of Eternity to devour the cursed scissors directly before leaving the trench.
By the time he came out of the mist, the old man was gone, and the tentacles of the King of Pleasure had lost their medium and began to shrink back into the realm of delusion, and the fog gradually dissipated.
"That's leaving?"
Hawkins was a little surprised, but when he thought of the magical mirror in the old man's hand, he speculated in his heart that the other party probably knew that he had solved the tentacles, so he simply left.
In fact, he originally wanted to have a good exchange with the old man, and it would be great if he could pull the other party into the gang, after all, the old man obviously knew a lot of more secretive information that even Mark didn't know.
However, now that everyone is gone, he is no longer entangled, and directly falls into the sea to release the Black Knife, with Mark and Victor at the helm to go to Black Market Island, while he himself returns to Eternal Space, ready to study the tentacles of the King of Pleasure.
......
Eternal space.
Asmodeus opens the quest page and submits the quest.
He looked at the exchange point displayed on the quest page, took a deep breath, and then opened the exchange page, redeeming 500 mana.
In fact, he has long wanted to go to the real world, although he knows very well that the real world is not much different from the eternal space, but he just wants to go to the real world once.
Hawkins had already completed the production of the 'key' in the sea settlement a few days ago.
At present, everyone can freely enter and exit the Eternal Space through the additional functions of the chat group, but compared to the fixed 'entrance', the 'exit' is fixed on the Black Knife, so if you want to leave the Eternal Space, you can only use the Black Knife.
Asmodeus opens the chat group and uses the key to leave Eternal Space.
In an instant, he appeared in the cabin of the Black Knife, and when he stepped out of the cabin, Mark and Victor spotted him coming out, and Mark jumped off the mast and said in surprise: "Asmodeus, why did you get out?"
"Big Brother Mark, I exchanged my mana and want to go to Housetown. Asmodeus laughed.
Victor poked his head out of the cab and frowned, "Hasn't the town of House been destroyed?"
"I know, but I want to go back and see for myself. Asmodeus replied.
He was not like an orphan like Mourning Night, he had relatives in the town of House, and although he knew that these relatives were probably dead, even so, he wanted to be able to go back and do something for those relatives.
"Go ahead, you can go back to Eternal Space at any time anyway. Victor saw what he was thinking and nodded in encouragement.
Mark suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "Yes, now I can use Eternal Space as a springboard to return to the Black Knife at any time, then I can't go hunting pirates and then come back through Eternal Space." ”
"Mark, I'm afraid I can't control the Black Knife alone. Victor rolled his eyes and said with a bitter face.
Mark saw through Victor's thoughts, smiled evilly, and said arrogantly: "I don't know what you kid thinks, at most you will be divided into two exchange points!"
"Sancheng, I'm staying alone in the Black Knife, in case I run into a killer assassin or something, I will definitely die for a lifetime, and the risk I have to take is not small. Victor immediately bargained.
Mark thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Deal, remember to keep it secret, don't let the captain know that I am absent." ”
He is a combatant who is being hired by Hawkins, and without Hawkins' permission, he must not leave the Black Knife at will, after all, Victor's position is only a sailor, and he Mark is the combatant responsible for protecting the Black Knife and its crew.
This is also the reason why he is willing to give Victor a three-percent reward.
Asmodeus witnessed the PY-trading between the two, and he stopped talking, and finally asked, "That...... How do I leave?"
"Yes, of course...... It seems that the Black Knife has no lifeboat!" Mark was just about to answer, when he suddenly realized a question.
The sea is vast, and it seems that it is not easy to leave.
However, there are always more ways than difficulties, and the two people who both want to leave are combined, so they set their eyes on the vines on the Black Knife that can continue to reproduce and grow automatically.
These vines are close to ironwood, and the longer they exist, the harder they become, and they have an extremely rare toughness.
Under the claws of the silver wolf, a simple raft was soon cut out, and Mark and Asmodeus left on the raft.
The main thing is that Asmodeus left alone, and Mark is not very relieved, anyway, he was going to cruise around to search for pirates, so he simply gave Asmodeus a ride.
The raft had a sail in the middle, and with the help of the wind, it quickly left the Black Knife and set off for the town of House.
"Why isn't there a better mission?"
Half an hour later, Mark felt a little bored, sitting on the raft with his back against the mast, opening the taskbar and staring at the three tasks, and couldn't help but complain.
Because Hawkins devoured the Blowgun, there is now another curse, and although this curse has little effect on the mother's suppression, the Eternal Sea Chart still produces a mission.
This quest is also difficult to complete, requiring them to snipe the Highlanders, and for each Highlander they snipe, they will get 2 exchange points.
Mark and Victor both understand what sniping means, and even Victor has exchanged for a sniper rifle that can't be brought out of eternal space, and has been practicing shooting moving targets recently, the problem is ...... What the hell is a Highland Barbarian?
Neither Mark nor Victor had ever heard of the Highlanders, and they had discussed the mission in the chat group, and had speculated that the Highlanders were a race endemic to a certain sea.
So this task, in fact, there is no way to do it.
Next to Mark, Asmodeus was fishing with a rod made of vines and line.
Although they are not particularly far from the town of House, it will take them a few days, and they will pass through Victoria Harbour Village on the way. At present, due to the disaster of long-haired ghosts, various prices have increased rapidly, such as food, in addition to seafood, all kinds of meat have risen to the level of 1 or 2 silver coins a catty.
Asmodeus didn't have a single copper coin on him, and Mark only had 10 silver coins in his pocket, so neither of them planned to enter Victoria Harbour Village, which was extremely expensive.
The two of them went to the forum and fished, and the sky gradually turned from blue to red, and finally it was replaced by a beautiful starry sky.
Mark slept directly on the raft, while Asmodeus looked up at the starry sky, in a very peaceful mood, he thought that he would be trapped in the ring for the rest of his life, until one day he went completely crazy and lost himself.
"Alive...... It's just wonderful. ”
Asmodeus saw a meteor fly by, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he muttered.
Although there are many bad things to encounter alive, such as the painful experience of losing your way in the delusion world and waiting for death, compared to the time in the ring, even that kind of torture will become extra sweet and fragrant.
"What is the treasure of gold and silver when the arrow of Eros strikes me in the heart, and only you can give me solace, brave and happy sailors......"
Suddenly, a melodious singing voice came from the night, and Asmodeus frowned and looked around, but did not find the source of the song, as if there were people singing everywhere.
"Who, the third watch sings in the middle of the night, does he still have a sense of morality?" Mark sat up with a frown, and shouted loudly.
The word Gongde Xin is a new word he learned in the forum, and this is the first time he has used it, and he feels that it is particularly justified to use it to yell at people.
Asmodeus whispered, "Mark, something is not right, the singing seems to be coming from below us. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Mark, who was also much more sober at this time, frowning.
Asmodeus pointed to the bottom of the raft, then put his ear to it, and sure enough, the song seemed to be whispering in his ears.
At this time, Mark boldly knelt on the edge of the raft and plunged his head directly into the water.
When he opened it, he saw that under the raft, a decomposed and swollen female corpse was clinging to the raft, and the position of the head was the same as that of Asmodeus, and the two were only separated by a tree......
Then he saw more and more corpses floating up under the water, all of them had been soaked, and they were extremely hideous and terrifying.
"The Walking Dead of the Sea!"
Mark was startled and immediately looked up from the water.
The moment he looked up, a rotten, bone-revealing hand immediately followed, almost grabbing his face.
