Chapter 64: Seeing the Sun Again
"Oh sunshine, great sunshine. "When the girls burst out of the sea, they were greeted by a warm sunshine. The evening sun with orange and yellow colors sprinkled on the girls, covering them with a yellow veil. Looking up, the sparkling sea is golden, like thousands of golden ribbons dancing under the water. Not far away, several small fish leaped up from the water, and the splash was dazzling in the sun. Taking a deep breath, the smell of the sea breeze fills the nose, and the air with a slight hint of scorching smell in the sunlight makes the girls intoxicated. After more than ten days of separation, they met again, and the girls realized that the breath and smell that they were usually used to would be so cute, and they had never noticed that the smell in the air was so diverse, so reluctant.
Looking back, it was a different story. Less than 100 meters behind the girls, a thick and thick white mist stretched high into the sky from the surface of the sea, and the fog was like a wall, dividing the sea around the island and the outside sea into two worlds. With curiosity, the girls tentatively swam into the range of the fog, and as soon as they entered the fog, they were in front of them a white expanse, not only could not distinguish the direction, but even lowered their heads and couldn't even see their limbs. Going deep into the fog, you lose your way at the slightest deflection, you can't see the sun, you can't see the environment, you can't see other people, as if there is only a thick fog that weighs on everyone's heart. Catherine tentatively took out the compass, and could only see the instructions of the compass by sticking it in front of her as much as possible, but unexpectedly, in the thick fog, the compass also lost its effect, and the hands kept rotating, and there was no way to indicate the direction at all.
In the adventurer's world, due to the existence of various magic force fields in most of the adventure places, the compass is often disturbed, and it is not surprising that it cannot be indicated, but I didn't expect this to happen on the vast sea, no wonder people think that it is impossible to sail on the sea in the Trek area without the help of the Sea Clan.
After a few minutes in the fog, Catherine finally realized that it wasn't just darkness that could cause stress. Although the surroundings are covered with white mist, it looks dark, but the environment is not dark at all. But it is these white mist that isolate people's vision, not only will people get lost in it, but suddenly there is only white in front of them, and after staying for a long time, they will even have the illusion of losing themselves, as if they no longer exist.
After a few minutes, Catherine couldn't hold on anymore and shrank her head back into the water. As soon as you enter the water, the effects of the fog are immediately cut off, and your eyes can see clearly again. Looking up from underwater, the fog on the sea surface is like a substance, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and you don't know how far it extends, maybe you will only see the sun again when you encounter another island.
Looking around, several other girls were almost like her, and they had fled back into the water under the pressure of the dense fog, and they were making eye contact with each other as if they were palpitating. Only Pannis, who hadn't poked his head out of the water at all from the beginning, was snickering as he counted the time with his mouth covered. The girls didn't have time to pay attention to him now, and several people quickly swam out of the thick fog, poked their heads out of the water again, and breathed heavily, for a while, except for Lina, everyone else seemed to have forgotten that the amphibious beads on their bodies were still working, and they could breathe even underwater.
"It's funny, isn't it? Catherine gave Pennis a hard look, and said angrily, "You didn't warn us in advance." ”
"It's useless to be reminded. Pannis smiled and said, "You won't understand this feeling if you don't experience it yourself." Your reaction is actually quite normal, and the first time I did it before, it was exactly the same as yours, so you don't need to be embarrassed at all. ”
"This mist. Catherine looked back at the wall of mist in front of her with some trepidation: "Won't it dissipate all the time?"
"At least no one has ever seen them dissipate. Vivien said: "It has been documented in the literature that a few people have spent ten years observing and studying the edge of the fog in the offshore area, and the end result is that the fog wall has hardly changed in ten years, and the only change is that the shape of the fog on the surface has changed from time to time. According to the information provided by the Sea Clan and the Dragon Clan, this has been the case since the Second Age, and no one can figure out the reason yet. ”
Catherine shook her head and sighed softly. The other four didn't say anything, everyone knew that Catherine's parents were attacked by sea beasts during a voyage in the Trek area, and the sea tribe who was hired to lead the voyage was killed tragically by the sea beast because of the active participation in the attack, and lost the navigator, and the survivors were lost in the fog from then on, and the ship was not found by a sea tribe until half a year later, because of a coincidence, but only the corpses left on the ship were dehydrated and died.
"Whew. Catherine exhaled heavily, shook her head and shook off her memories, and said, "The past cannot be changed, so leave it alone, the important thing is the present." That's our goal, that desert island. ”
More than a thousand meters away, a deserted island made of rocks, gravel and dirt rises high above sea level. There are no trees to be seen on the island, and it looks like the island is not a forest-type island, but a normal rock-shaped island. Vivien observed through Eagle Eye that there was almost nothing on the island except for a small number of controlled sea tribes, no large plants, and no large animals, making it a completely deserted island.
"Anyway, I finally saw the land. Catherine couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if the island is full of enemies, the feeling of land is better than that of the sea, even if it is just to see." ”
"You can't just look at it. Pannis leaned out of the water and looked at the desert island at sunset: "According to Doris, as long as there is a range of seawater, she has searched for more than ten years, and the only possible thing is these islands." The other two are too far away, and this one is the last possibility. ”
"Seeing that the guards around here are so tight, it must only be here. Lina pressed Freya's shoulders and propped herself up to look at the desert island, "Unless those controlled sea tribes will be like truly intelligent creatures, ostensibly focusing on defending this place, but in fact hiding things elsewhere." But I think if they do that, it's not controlled. ”
"I found a problem. Catherine looked at Lina with amusement and said, "No matter what the outcome of the mission is, the biggest gain this time is that your weakness of fear of water has improved, and your swimming skills have improved by leaps and bounds." ”
"Still no. Lina shook her head and said, "I leave the amphibious beads, and I still can't breathe when I swim." ”
"But at least there won't be any more waist-deep water and nearly drowning. After Pannis, he immediately fled from Lina's attack range, making Lina sulk with water peanuts.
"I don't know if their range of pursuit will increase when they reach the water. Catherine ignored Lina's frustration: "If it expands, it will be a bit of a problem." ”
"Probably not, when they were at the bottom of the sea, they didn't react to the light shining on their faces, I'm afraid that the enemy didn't rely on the light to lead the enemy. Pannis said, "To be on the safe side, I'd better try it, sink back into the water and retreat a little farther." ”
The girls did not object, and after enjoying the sun and air for more than ten minutes, they dived back into the water and hid under the water in the dense fog-covered area. Pannis did not act immediately, and after approaching the perimeter of the defensive circle, he rose and fell on the water, observing the patrol's movement from both the upper and lower angles.
Above and below the water's surface, the sea tribes react very differently. In the range under the sea, the patrols of the sea tribes are very dense, active and have few holes in defense, but there are not many sea tribes active on the beach of the island, and the gaps between the patrols are also very large, so it is relatively easy to sneak in. But the problem is that if you want to get to the beach, you have to pass through the underwater cordon, which is the most troublesome point.
After watching it for a while, Pannis surfaced, touched his chin and pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he plunged headlong into the water and swam quickly towards the patrol of the controlled sea tribe. It was also a range of forty meters, and as soon as he approached, three patrols discovered Pannis, and on the way towards him, they did not forget to issue a warning, and then the four or five patrols nearby also reacted, starting to outflank him from the left and right. With a light flip in the water, Pannis fled diagonally with a large group of controlled sea tribes, and soon disappeared into the sea, until seven or eight minutes later, when a group of sea tribes of various forms returned to their original positions.
The girls didn't wait stupidly, taking advantage of the fact that the controlled sea clan would only attack intelligent creatures, Freya released five or six saucer-shaped golems that Vivien cast the mage's eye, and the saucer-shaped golems spun into the defensive circle and floated motionless in the water. Due to the presence of the Mage's Eye, the movements of the underwater patrol are completely under the control of the girls, and the patrol that was led away by Pennis did not escape the girls' observation when they returned.
"I'm back. The undercurrent surging below, and Pannis, who came up from the depths, motioned for the girls to follow him back to the surface of the sea without thick fog: "I have tried, and the distance between them should not have changed in any way, it is still forty meters, even if it shows its head on the water." ”
"That's good. Catherine nodded, "Now it's time to find a way." ”
"Actually, I just thought of a good idea. "With this method, the safe route to entry is easy to find," Pannis said. ”
"What's the solution?" Catherine was stunned and asked in surprise, "You were told that it was easy to do." ”
"It's up to our great legendary mage, Master Vivien. Pannis: "I just don't know if Master Vivien's strength can do it." (To be continued.) )
