Chapter 155: Devil Guard - Gargoyle
The thick dark clouds were like ink that could not be dissolved, and the low pressure seemed to sink into the sea. Outside, the sea was calm, but the area covered by dark clouds was full of huge waves.
Bright and dark reefs loom in the rolling waters, and huge waterspouts are connected to the sky and the earth, sweeping everything in front of them in the electric light of the silver snake dancing wildly.
Green took the telescope in his hand and looked carefully, a white seabird obviously accidentally flew into the sea, and then was instantly slapped into the sea by the rising waves, and then disappeared without a trace in the surging whirlpool.
This is the Devil's Sea.
Located in the middle of the New World, near the Tropic of Cancer in this world.
Hot and cold ocean currents converge here, the northeast trade winds prevail, and tropical air masses lead to hurricanes, tsunamis, and seismic activity. So even though it's been a week since the Dragonwings fleet arrived here, he hasn't gone deep right away.
The location marked by the treasure map had been found, but the route came to an abrupt end when it reached the entrance to the Devil's Sea, and Blackbeard's treasure obviously couldn't have simply sunk into the sea.
Therefore, after everyone's unanimous judgment, the treasure may be on a small island in the Devil's Overseas Circle, which should not be too far from the entrance where they are now. Otherwise, if you continue to go deeper, even if Blackbeard finds a way, he will be destroyed by the complex environment of the Devil's Sea.
"Commander, when are we leaving?"
Green put down the scope in his hand, looked at Sarah, who was leaping and trying, and said, "Wait until this hurricane is gone!" But there are too many reefs in there, and we can't go in by boat, so Miss Sarah ...... I'm sorry you might have to stay outside. ”
After hearing this, Sarah suddenly went violent.
She raised her eyebrows and rushed in front of Green, glaring at her beautiful eyes and saying angrily, "Why should I stay outside?"
Green hurriedly took a step back, and the faces of the two were almost pressed together.
"Everyone is going to ride a dragon in, do you have a dragon?"
"I can share a ride with other people. ”
"No one knows what we're going to encounter in the Devil's Sea, and it's too inconvenient for a dragoon to take an extra person with them. And ......"
With that, Green pointed to the black dot looming at the distant horizon.
"See, since we got here, there have been a lot of unidentified ships in the distance. They may be pirates, they may be armed merchant ships, they may be warships of other powers, in short, we are not in a good situation. Everyone knows that we destroyed Blackbeard's fleet, and now that we go to the inside of the Devil's Sea to find treasure, they should have guessed it. In the unlikely event that we come out with treasure and are faced with hordes of enemies looting, even if we can blow up and sink their ships, we will be surrounded by layers of encirclement, and this kind of close-range engagement is what we fear most most. ”
"So Sarah, I am most at ease only if a navigator like you is left outside. ”
Sarah raised her eyebrows after listening to Green's explanation, although this was a nice word, but she was not such a coaxing little girl, so she raised her head and was about to speak again, when she heard Mary's cold voice on the side.
"Alright, Sarah stay! The hurricane has stopped, and we're off at once. ”
Green shrugged his shoulders amusedly, and Sarah might have objected to it, but Mary had always been very obedient when she spoke.
Sure enough, Sarah nodded depressedly, then turned around and left.
It's just that the moment she turned around, she glared at Green fiercely, and it was clear that she would come back and settle accounts with you.
......
The moment he stepped into the Devil's Sea, Green suddenly had a strange feeling that he had passed through something.
He turned his head to look at Mary, Douglas, Sam, and Battle, who had entered with him, and sure enough, everyone's faces were a little strange.
"Xiaolinzi, there is a problem with the magnetic field here, and there is also a problem with the light!"
"Stop!" Green immediately shouted to stop after hearing Nibel's reminder.
"What's wrong?" asked Mary at once.
"Everybody looks at their compass. ”
"Hey, what's going on? My compass is shaking, and it looks like it's broken!"
"Mine too!"
......
After Green confirmed, he was finally sure that their compass really didn't work. This was the only equipment they had to determine their bearing, and if the compass failed, would they have to look at the sky to determine the direction?
"Oh my God, look back. Sam suddenly exclaimed.
They had only just flown into the Devil's Sea for less than a few minutes, but as soon as they turned their heads, the Dragonwing fleet seemed to be far away in the sky, could it be that Sarah ordered the fleet to leave? But the speed would not be so fast, right?
Green immediately told Pipsqueak to turn around and back off.
Reinventing the strange feeling, Green looked up and saw that the Dragonwing fleet was still in place and hadn't gone far, while the other dragon knights who were still in the Devil's Sea didn't look very far away.
"The refraction of light?" Green smacked his tongue, is there still a big gap between the density of light here and outside?
"Nothing is wrong, is it?" Mary and several other dragon knights flew out as well.
Green shook his head.
It's a bit weird, but it's not too much of a problem. For the sake of the treasure, this risk must be taken.
Telling everyone not to get separated, Green led everyone into the devil's sea again.
The calm waves of the sea are not alarming, which is very different from the appearance of the huge waves just now, but this kind of quiet to the extreme makes everyone's hearts feel a little more uneasy.
Looking back, they couldn't see the Dragonwing fleet behind them, but because of the marks on the exposed reefs, they weren't worried about finding their way back.
"Meow Meow~"
"What's wrong?" asked Green as he approached Meowmeow, who suddenly poked her head out of her arms.
Because the fairy dragons can transmit information to each other at a certain distance, in order to prevent special circumstances, he brought in all the fairy dragons when he entered the Devil's Sea this time, exactly one per person.
"Whew~" Pikachu in Mary's arms also poked his head out.
"Xiao Linzi, the magnetic field here is very disordered, so the fairy spirit dragon feels a little uncomfortable. ”
"Alright!" Green comforted Meowth by touching her head, "hold on a little longer, and if you can't stand it anymore, we'll send you back first." ”
Meowth nodded sensibly.
After flying some distance further, the sea suddenly became dotted with reefs, some of which were large enough for Pippi to land on them.
There was a faint feeling in Green's heart that perhaps the treasure island they were looking for was just ahead.
"What's that?" said Douglas, who was flying at the front, in a deep voice.
Turning around a towering rock, everyone in the treasure hunt team saw a huge stone statue.
It looked like a crouching wyvern, with huge wings propped up in the water, and half of its muscular body and hind legs submerged in the sea.
But even so, the part of the stone statue that protrudes from the water is at least twenty meters high. If you don't count the tail, the largest Wind Slayer in the treasure hunt team can't compare to this huge statue.
The gray-black statue is covered with slippery moss, and the stone wall below it is covered with shells and algae plants due to the long-term immersion in the sea.
However, what struck Green was that the surface of the reef where the waves crashed was generally angular, rough, full of potholes and cracks, which would crumble at the slightest touch. And this stone statue looks very complete except for some cracks that look like scales.
Wasn't it long before the statue was built?
"Haha, you see that it has two small horns on its head, a thick neck, sharp teeth, and a pair of bat-like wings, does it look like the demons described in the mouths of those gods in the Southern Continent?"
Hearing Sam say that, Green felt a bit like that.
Just seeing the white eyes of Mary floating on the side, he originally wanted to echo the words, but he immediately swallowed them in his stomach.
Forget there's another devout believer of the Light!
Since the stone statue has been found, it proves that there are traces of people here, so Blackbeard's treasure may be nearby.
Green waved his hand excitedly, and was about to let everyone explore around, when he suddenly heard Battle shout, "Look, there are a few more over there!"
Boom ~ Boom ~
"What sound?"
Before Green could turn his head, he heard Douglass on one side wary.
The sound was getting louder and louder, and everyone in the treasure hunt team had already heard it.
"Look, Green...... The stone statue...... Open your eyes!"
Sam's voice shuddered a little.
Green hurriedly turned his head, and he was greeted by a pair of scarlet eyes full of murderous desires.
The statue shook its body and spread its massive wings.
"Whew-"
