Chapter 63: The Sea Cemetery
After driving away the Trench Ronin, Tianxuan and Hercules held each other's right hands tightly, and smiled at each other without saying a word.
After a long time, Tianxuan said: "Thanks to you for arriving in time!" β
"Hey! Where the words! Hercules said, shaking his head.
"I'm really... I really don't know what to say. So I'll go and count the number of people first. Tianxuan said.
Next, Tianxuan gathered the first, second, and third teams together and counted the survivors, leaving a total of 900 people.
"Hey! There are only 900 people left! Tianxuan sighed.
Hercules patted Tianxuan's shoulder and comforted, "This is also something that can't be helped, and it's not your fault." β
"Huh! Thank you! Listening to Hercules' comfort, Tianxuan's mood was much better.
After Hercules finished speaking, he walked around Tianxuan, pointing and pinching his chin and staring at Tianxuan.
Tianxuan, who was sighing, suddenly found that Hercules was looking at him with strange eyes, swallowed his saliva and said, "What are you doing, why are you staring at me so obscenely." β
"Oh!" Hercules lowered his finger and straightened up, "It's just curious to see you as their temporary captain." β
"Curious about what?"
Hercules smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just don't understand why they chose you, a rookie, as the captain." β
At this time, Ginter said to Hercules: "Hercules, you are mistaken, Tianxuan still knows a lot of things, and Gambit still has two brushes, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have come to the shore." β
"Huh! Well, it looks like you're getting a little bit better! Hercules smiled at Tianxuan and said.
"Cut!" Tianxuan glanced at Hercules, and went to follow the others to prepare for the retreat.
After some preparations, the nearly 3,000 of them took the Dark Bamboo Boat to retreat back first and then make plans.
The retreat process was smooth at the beginning, but when he was halfway through, Tianxuan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a creature swimming underwater, and if he looked closely, it seemed that it was not a creature, but a group of creatures swimming. In shock, he hurriedly said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, there is a big wave of things underwater!" β
Not long after Tianxuan finished speaking, the hundreds of dark bamboo boats began to shake underneath. At this moment, Hercules took out his short stick and pressed the button, and immediately stretched out three pointed ends, a bit like a triple fork. Immediately afterwards, Hercules forcefully thrust the nearly 2-meter-long triple fork into the water, only to hear the sound of "edible", and the triple fork was firmly inserted into the creature in the water.
The creature under the water was inserted by Hercules and began to shake desperately, trying to break free, but Hercules's strength was too great, and the underwater creature gradually quieted down.
Just when Tian Xuan thought that the underwater creature was dead, that thing actually came to the spirit again, and this time it actually wanted to lift the dark bamboo boat they were on.
"Good fellow, I'm getting impatient!" As he spoke, Hercules jerked the triple fork up with a slam force, and at the same time, the creature in the water was lifted out of the water.
At this time, Tianxuan and everyone looked at it, and they couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Trench Ronin!" β
Hercules looked at the trench ronin who was lifted by himself struggling desperately in mid-air in pain, and couldn't help but ask himself, "It's really strange that the trench ronin can swim in the River Styx." β
"Don't be surprised!" Tianxuan shouted at Hercules, "That big wave of things under the water must be his accomplices, and if we don't take measures quickly, we will all fall into the River Styx to feed the fish!" β
After hearing Tianxuan's scolding, Hercules threw the trench ronin he was carrying directly to the ground, and then ended up with him. Then, the other berserkers followed Hercules' example by turning the stick into a triad and thrusting it into the water.
After the trench ronin learned that his plan had been discovered, he frantically began to subvert the Dark Bamboo Boat. Soon, nearly ten Dark Bamboo ships were overturned.
There was no way for the Berserkers who fell into the water to sink directly into the crude oil, but it wasn't the worst of all, as the trench ronins in the water swam up to the helpless Berserkers and strangled them like sharks. The surface of the water was immediately stained red with blood, but soon the blood also sank into the water, as if what had just happened before.
Watching the ships being subverted one after another, Tianxuan's heart began to furle, unprecedented fear welled up in his heart, and his legs began to tremble unobediently.
After a while, the boat that Tianxuan was riding on also began to shake violently from the bottom of the boat. So he beat his legs hard, and hinted in his heart, "Don't be afraid!" Don't be afraid! Trying to get back to normal and do something. But it didn't work, and he still couldn't control the tremor in his legs.
At this critical moment, the previous underworld demon butterfly flew 2 meters above Tianxuan's head.
After Tianxuan saw the demon butterfly, his legs stopped trembling and looked at it directly. Then, I saw the demon butterfly flapping its wings, and its wings of nearly 1 meter fanned a group of dark purple glowing crystals into the River Styx.
"What is it going to do?" Gint, who was next to him, asked.
"I don't know! But my gut tells me it's for us! Tianxuan said quietly.
Tianxuan's instinct was right, after the Underworld Demon Butterfly fanned, the water surface suddenly began to bubble and make a "gurgling" sound, and after a few seconds, the water level of the Styx began to drop significantly.
"What's going on?" Ginter asked.
"I don't know, let's see first, but don't take it lightly!" Tianxuan dragged his chin with his fingers and said to everyone.
After a while, the water gradually descended, and the sand dunes gradually showed their heads. When the water has completely subsided, a desert full of sand dunes appears in the center of the river.
"Okay, let me go down and clean them up?!" Hercules said with a fist.
"I don't know! Let's take a look! Tianxuan shouted to Hercules, who wanted to jump.
Sure enough, Tianxuan's worry was right, this was indeed not an ordinary desert, I saw that most of the trench ronins who were still alive before fell into the sand, although they wanted to struggle to pull their bodies out of the sand, but it was useless, they could only sink deeper and deeper.
Hercules, who was still excited just now, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this scene and asked, "What's the situation?" β
"This is ......" Tianxuan frowned and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, this is a group of quicksands, if we continue, we will end up with that group of pirates!" β
Looking at the gradually sinking Dark Bamboo Ship, Hercules began to ask anxiously, "Tianxuan, do you have anything to do now?" β
"Let me think about it!" As he spoke, Tianxuan began to think desperately with his hands grasping his head. After a few seconds, he had figured it out.
"I thought of it, everyone obeyed my orders and connected all the famous books to form a chain of ships!" Tianxuan said loudly.
"A chain of ships?" Hercules asked, puzzled.
"Hmm!" Tianxuan nodded, and then said, "The environment here is the same as the Sea Cemetery. The function of the chain ship is to connect us as a whole, increase the area of the hull against the surface of the quicksand, and thus reduce the pressure. β
Chatting and chatting, the serial ship stopped sinking.
"Oh, I see, the Commander is really smart!" Gint, who was on the side, clapped his hands and praised.
"Where, where?" Tianxuan hurriedly blushed and waved his hand, and said modestly.
After a period of politeness, GΓΌnt was ordered to look around and find that they were now trapped in the sea cemetery, not moving at all.
"Commander Tianxuan, we are now trapped on this desert, and the ship can't move at all!" Gint reported.
"Well, don't worry, as long as we don't get stuck in this graveyard, we can get out of here then." Tianxuan said.
"And how long will it take?" Ginter asked.
"This ......" Tianxuan stood up.
"Say it quickly!" Hercules was a little anxious and urged.
"Actually......" Tianxuan scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know when the tide will rise." β
"You don't know when the tide is rising?" Hercules slapped his head with his hand and said with a sad face, "Oh my God, you don't know? β
Tianxuan nodded helplessly. Now they can only wait quietly for the river to rise, and there is nothing else to do.
"Commander Tianxuan, look at the sky!" Gint pointed his finger to the top behind Tianxuan and said.
So, Tianxuan hurriedly turned his head to look at the sky, only to see that the underworld demon butterfly flew back again, flapping its wings and stopping in mid-air not far from them.
At this time, the Underworld Demon Butterfly flapped its wings again, and bursts of purple-black crystalline particles slowly floated onto the quicksand group where Tianxuan was located.
Not long after that, with the sound of "gurgling", the water came out of the sand like a fountain.
"Everyone, get ready, break up the chain of ships at any time, we'll be leaving soon!" Tianxuan shouted to everyone.
Just a few minutes after Tianxuan finished speaking, the sand dunes in front of him were gradually flooded by the rapidly rising river, and the cemetery quickly turned into a river, and the bamboo boats all floated up. So everyone hurriedly untied the chain of big ships, restored them into small individuals, and then sailed to the opposite shore.
Looking at the Tianxuan and them who were gradually moving away, the underworld demon butterfly stretched its wings and flew in the opposite direction.
At this time, looking at the departing underworld demon butterfly, the corners of Tianxuan's mouth rose slightly, waved his hand at it, and secretly said in his heart: "Goodbye, my elf!" β
