ACT121: Attack on Weiss
The storm had completely subsided before dawn, and less than two hours later, the sun had finally crept out of the place where the sea and sky met, and the crew of the Blue Grace could faintly see the object in the northeast direction.
To be sure, it was a small island, but not long after the storm subsided, it was shrouded in a thick fog that rose rapidly, and it was impossible to see even a rough outline without looking closely through a telescope. Weiss and the others accepted the commission and prepared to go to the island to reconnoiter and see if the conditions on the island were suitable for transferring passengers.
Lowering a dinghy, Weiss and his companions, escorted by four sailors, approached the island. Not long after the dinghy entered the dense fog range, it was discovered that there were a large number of black stalagmites emerging from the surface of the dense fog, and the thick fog was emitting from the surface of these stalagmites.
At first, it was thought that these pillars would generate heat, which is why they produce water vapor, but the mist blowing on the face feels very cold. So Lytis let the dinghy close to the pillar, and after a moment of scrutiny, she boldly reached out and touched it.
"It's cool and a little numb......"
After putting her hand on it for a moment, Lytis noticed that the mist was spreading along her arm, and although she wanted to see if the mist would cover her body, Wendy was afraid that the fog would be strange, so she hurriedly dragged her back.
"Wendy, can you help me chisel a sample down from there, these blackstones seem interesting. ”
Knowing that Litis was a scientist's research spirit again, Wendy didn't say anything, and happily took out her tools, so that she knocked a few pieces off the stalagmite with great strength and crashed into the collection bottle. The stones continue to emit mist even after detachment, quickly filling the collection bottle with a white mist.
"I think it would be nice to use this thing as an air humidifier. Weiss suggested with a smile.
"I've never seen this substance, so go back and study it, maybe it will be more versatile. ”
After a slight delay, the dinghy moved forward again, and after groping their way for about 300 meters, the fog around them gradually faded, and the outline of the island in front of them became clearer. Finally, when they were completely out of the fog, a beautiful island appeared in front of everyone. The area of the island is larger than expected, and from a distance, the vegetation is quite dense.
Once the boat had reached the rocky shoal, it could no longer move on, so the men had to step on the outcropping part of the reef and jump to the shore, while the sailors stayed in the boat and waited for them to return.
Except for Litis who needed Wendy to hold him, everyone else could easily jump to the shore with their own skills. The reason why she brought this ineffective girl was because she was the most knowledgeable person among the six people, and she was not completely useless, and with her surname, she would definitely not want to stay on the ship.
"Let's hurry up and try to find something before it gets dark. ”
The six of them did not stop much at the shore, but after a little packing their bags, they plunged headlong into the dense woods, and soon found something noteworthy in the woods.
"Come and see, it looks like a stone tablet. ”
The sharp-eyed Ling Lan found a square stone pier that had been completely covered with moss in a pile of grass, and after Weiss scraped off the moss, he found that it was actually engraved with dwarven characters.
"What's written on this?"
"1.5 km to the east...... Just a few words. ”
The monument's age made it impossible for everyone to feel that it was a trap, so they followed the instructions and walked east. Along the way, you can clearly feel that it is going uphill. After more than 1,000 meters of progress, everyone's eyes finally opened up, and a flat open space appeared in front of them, and not far ahead, a low wall more than 1 meter high attracted everyone's attention. Wess tiptoed to the wall, cautiously glancing at the edge of the wall, only to reveal a Celestial Spirit Cover when he heard a small scream coming from inside.
"Look, look! there's something on the wall. ”
"It's a monster! a white-haired monster!"
"That wall is 1.6 meters high!"
Although they were small and had a strange accent, Weiss could still hear the voices speaking lingua franca, but he wondered why he was considered a "monster with white hair", and the thing in front of him that was too short when the courtyard walls were actually "city walls". Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, Weiss directly put his hands on the wall and looked in, and was immediately surprised.
"Holy! What is this?"
I saw that inside the "city wall", there were miniature houses and buildings everywhere, some "little people" who were about 5 cm tall scattered in fright after seeing Weiss, and some small people who looked like soldiers pushed cannons like toys gathered on the street facing Weiss, and then aimed at Weiss's face.
"Target, oversized giants. Open fire~!"
Unsure if the cannons would hurt him, Wess cautiously retreated before he could fire, and then told his companions what he saw. After listening to his description, Lytis thought for a moment, and then showed an excited expression. But before she could speak, a row of small dots appeared on the wall, and they bravely jumped down and attacked them.
"Die, you monsters!"
Jumping off is armed with two toothpick-like knives and bee-like wings on their backs, allowing them to fly, while the jets on their waists give them extremely fast short-range acceleration and change of direction. On the city wall, other small spots appeared at the top of the wall with mini-cannons, and aimed their muzzles at Weiss and the others.
The tactic of these little guys is to let a few decoys fly around in front of Weiss to attract attention, and then the other part looks for an opportunity to go around their backs. It's a pity that such a simple tactic is still a little useful to bully the mentally handicapped who don't have long brains, Weiss They noticed that part of the "main force" early on, so they sent Lytis, the other party took out their own insect trapping nets, and it took less than 2 minutes to wipe out these small points, and those on the city wall were dispersed and driven away by Weiss with a few slaps.
"That's it! Miss Ben has been practicing insect trapping skills for ten years, and you are trustworthy!"
"Hey, be careful, don't hurt them, we're not here to grudge against these little ones. ”
"Ahh......h Whoa, they stabbed me in the hand. ”
As soon as Litis, who wanted to drag the insect trap net, touched the net cable with his hand, the villain inside slashed Lytis's slender finger with a toothpick knife, and a bead of blood suddenly appeared on the fingertip. Seeing this, Wendy grabbed the insect trap, blackened her face, and threatened word by word in a deep voice.
"Give, me, old, real!"
Wendy's terrifying expression immediately played a role, and the little ones who were still struggling suddenly became honest, and if you look closely, you can also find that the insect net is trembling slightly, which shows how the little ones inside are scared. And just when everyone didn't know what to do with this net, a voice of supplication came from the city wall.
"Dear giant, I am the lord of the city here, and I surrender to you on behalf of Sina, please do not harm those young people. Please!" (To be continued.) )
