Boone rowed his small fishing boat into the southern harbor of Misty Island.

From Chen Lun's point of view, it was like an ant slowly burrowing into the inside of the left wing of the giant beast.

"Miss Lucy, we're here."

Boone rowed the boat close to the shore, stopped at a distance of six or seven meters, put the rope on a small reef, and jumped down, half of his body submerged in the water.

He turned around and saw Lucy, dressed in a thin robe, standing on top of the fishing boat with embarrassment, and immediately understood that it was inconvenient for her to enter the water like this.

"Surge."

Boone pulled out the sea lion skull staff and pointed lightly at the front.

The sea gushes up like a rolling carpet.

Lucy jumped off the fishing boat at Boone's nod, but instead of sinking directly into the sea, as if stepping on a soft gummy layer, she was slowly carried to the beach by the waves.

"Thank you, Mr. Boone."

Lucy thanked her.

Boone shook his head.

He made a boo gesture, and then silently led the girl with long dark green hair from the beach to the lush jungle.

After the two of them are gone.

The small fishing boat, which swayed gently on the turbid sea, changed silently...... I saw countless dark green algae moss mixed with purple and red, slowly climbing onto the body of the wooden boat until it was completely covered.

These strange algae, forming a scale-like shape, are even slowly wriggling, making the whole fishing boat look like a big live fish.

As if endowed with some kind of vitality, the fishing boat broke free of the rope with a bang, turned its bow on its own, and slowly sailed into the fog until it disappeared without a trace......

Chen Lun, who was secretly observing over the Misty Island, couldn't help but squint his eyes after silently seeing this scene.

This level of pollution has brought life to the seas...... Or even thinking? ’

He took a deep breath and faintly felt that under the surface of the sea around Misty Island, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him through the sea.

Spiritual intuition began to move, and warnings were heard.

'In addition to pollution, there is an invisible mysterious force that envelops Misty Island to the point of threatening my ......'

Chen Lun's face was dark.

There's always a mist floating on the Misty Island, as it always always has been.

It's still winter, but it's full of vegetation and life, and it's a very primitive scene. But for some reason, the whole archipelago was dead silent, and it gave people an inexplicable sense of desolation.

The coexistence of these two sensations on the island, combined with the mist, creates a unique and eerie atmosphere.

Boone seems to have been to Misty Isle more than once, and he is quite familiar with navigating through the jungle, even if there is no clear path, he can use the magic of his staff to "peel away" the layers of vegetation and artificially carve a path.

Lucy followed him closely, silent.

The two of them walked quietly one after the other.

There are no birds and insects in the jungle.

Except for the rustling footsteps of the two of them, not even the slightest biological sound could be heard.

Not even, there was no wind.

As the sky darkened, Boone finally stopped in a desolate clearing.

Lucy behind him poked her head to look around, and was surprised to find a small stone altar standing in the bushes in front of him.

The altar is gray and black, with countless thick and tough vines clinging to it, and there are some strange flowers that have never been seen before.

Under these vegetation, you can faintly see reliefs carved on the surface of the altar with various sea creatures, especially in the center, there is a human face covered with fish scales, and the eyes are closed, as if sleeping.

"Miss Lucy, wait a moment...... When I'm done with my business, I'll take you to a safe house, which is the shelter my family left here. ”

Boone tilted his head and whispered.

Lucy nodded hurriedly.

"It's okay, Mr. Boone, you're busy first."

"Hmm."

Boone groaned.

He strode forward, his sharp nails scratching his palms, and he immediately raised his hand to hang above the altar...... Dark green blood flowed from the wound and dripped onto the altar, ticking.

At the same time, Boone took out the stone sculpture of the dead fish in his left hand and approached the relief of the human face, chanting in the ancient Bellier language:

"The depths of the sea, our ...... destination"

This is the motto of the Charles family, and it is also a spell to open the inheritance.

The closed-eyed statue opened its mouth and swallowed the dead fish statue in Boone's hand.

The altar clicked, and the cross crack opened in the middle, and it burst into bloom like a bud...... The vines and vegetation that crept on the surface broke off, revealing what was stored inside.

That's when it happened.

Lucy, who was originally harmless to humans and animals on the side, suddenly looked grim, raised her hand and turned her palm towards Boone, who was facing away from her.

The [Heart Thief] sequence ability is activated instantly.

Aim for its heart and slash!

Airplanes!!

Invisible fluctuations spread.

A small pop sounded.

Boone shuddered, his pupils constricted, and he felt his heart shatter in an instant.

He turned his head and stared at the girl, disappointed and regretful:

"You really want to be the winner of the 'Carnival of Honor.'"

"Yes."

Lucy acknowledged with a smile on her face, a hint of cruelty tuckering at the corners of her mouth.

"You're just the beginning, and then I'll weed out all the remaining Awakened and finally get the gift of God...... Only in this way can I have stronger strength and be worthy of Mr. Jack...... No, when the time comes, I can choose to take possession of Him by force, and no one will dare to compete with me. ”

Boone, however, looked at him with pity.

"Gifts? Not necessarily...... Maybe when you try your best to plan all this, all you end up with is a terrible disaster. ”

"This is nothing but your cowardly and self-deceptive opinion, Mr. Boone."

Lucy grinned.

Boone seemed to give up on persuasion, and with a flick of the staff in his hand, a dark green sparkle appeared from the tip of the staff, and Lucy was instantly blown away by a salty sea breeze in disbelief.

With a bang, Lucy's delicate body slammed into the trunk of a tree, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

"You...... Is it all right? ”

Lucy's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth.

Boone looked down at her calmly, his staff pointing a little against his left chest.

The heart, which had been shattered, was re-condensed under the growth and convergence of countless fish eggs.

"It's just a little spell in Mystery of the Deep, I gave you a chance, but it's a pity you didn't grasp it, Miss Lucy...... I really don't want to kill you. ”

Boone's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle.

But in the end, he stood firm.

Sou!

The staff pointed again, and the tip of the staff burst out with a cloudy beam of black and yellow light.

Lucy suddenly felt suffocated, and the air around her was as heavy as a thousand pounds, squeezing her body wildly...... Even, she saw the visions of the deep sea without light, and spat out the seawater from her mouth.

It was as if she was not on land, but under the bottomless sea.

"Gollum ......"

Lucy's eyes were white, and she was about to drown in the area.

But at this moment.

Boom Boom –

A huge black shadow streaked across the sky.

The loud sound of breaking the sky was accompanied by a violent wind, which shook the trees violently, and even the earth trembled with smoke and dust.

Boone's face changed suddenly.

He knew exactly what was flying overhead, so he knew he couldn't stay long, or the consequences would be unpredictable!

Putting away the staff, ignoring Lucy, Boone walked briskly to the altar and took out the family heritage stored inside—

A piece of paper.

A yellowed, dated letter with words written on it.

Boone held it in both hands, taking a quick look at it in the fading light.

But soon, his face changed drastically!

At first he looked incredulous, then he cried and laughed, and finally the whole person collapsed and fell to his knees, howling and pounding the ground in misery and pain.

Lucy had passed out and was lying on the ground not far away.

Without the sustenance of the caster, she was lucky enough to survive the treacherous spell.

Half a day.

Boone got up with a blank face, as if he had made some important decision, and despite the dust on his body, he took out the tome in his arms and took one last look.

The hardcover cover, reflecting the dark green luster, is covered with fish-scale patterns, and in the middle is written in Bellier with the words "The Mystery of the Deep Sea".

This book is a family heirloom for the Charles family and a treasure trove of knowledge that Boone is obsessed with...... Now, it has become something he fears and hates.

Laugh at!

Boone reached out and slashed his chest with his webbed claws, and then he shoved "Mystery of the Deep" into his stomach with a hideous face.

Under the sparkling waves of the staff, the cracked chest and abdomen slowly healed.

Then he ran out of the jungle in a frenzy and returned to the shore with the book.

The disappearance of the small fishing boat did not panic Boone, and he jumped directly into the sea, desperately swimming along the coastline, and then bypassing the misty island and continuing north, towards the depths of the unknown sea......

Unbeknownst to the unconscious, Lucy's figure in black clothes quietly appeared beside her and picked her up.

Unexpectedly, there are flying dragons on the Misty Island...... The ancient dragons have been confirmed to have been extinct for several epochs. ’

Chen Lun frowned.

He had just used the "Trinity Law" to cause an accident and interrupt Boone's spell casting, thus saving Lucy.

But he didn't expect that this accident turned out to be a mythical dragon. It is swarthy, shaped like a four-legged snake, without scales and horns, and has a pair of huge wing membranes.

Chen Lun did not appear to attract the attention of the dragon, but waited for him to leave before landing on the ground.

He turned his head to look in the direction Boone had left, his eyes deep.

'That book 'The Mystery of the Deep' is definitely a mythological book...... No, even more advanced. ’

Chen Lun didn't know what Boone saw on that piece of paper after opening the family inheritance, so his mood suddenly changed.

'Let's go over and have a look.' ’

He hugged Lucy, and was about to quietly follow Boone.

But at this moment.

Chen Lun was suddenly stunned.

He slowly looked down at the ground, looking at the land of Misty Island where his feet were stepping, and a prompt popped up on the panel-

【Bright Dragon (Corpse/Mutilation)】
