Volume II, Chapter 20, On the Island
"Are you sure you're going against me?" Thyme asked slowly.
Liu Xiao showed concession at the right time: "Don't dare, I just don't want an ordinary person to participate in the incident of the transcendent." ”
Thyme's anger subsided slightly when she heard this, but she looked at him a few more times: "You are very much like the official transcendent of the Kingdom of God. ”
"I'm just a ...... who paints"
Liu Xiao was interrupted before she finished speaking: "If she doesn't go, who will, you?" ”
"If Captain Baili doesn't have the right candidate, I can go."
Jiang Zhuzhi knew that Liu Xiao was greeting him, so he couldn't help but get closer, and reached out to grab his sleeve.
Liu Xiao is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and in order to remind himself that there is danger at sea, Jiang Zhuzhi even jumped into the sea directly despite the harsh winter.
Although it didn't play a role in the end, this kindness is far more than a painting, so I must repay it.
But Thyme didn't agree.
Obviously, she is not impulsive.
Liu Xiao understands that she is a doctor, and she still needs herself, if there is an accident at this time, more than a week's voyage will be in vain.
"Let me go."
It was Hua Wuchou who spoke, the captain couldn't leave at this time, Linge, as the driver, couldn't have an accident, and his two assistants, and the noon light target was too big, and Yu Xiaolou was able to repair the ship.
He's the only one left.
But thyme was still shaking her head: "There is a more suitable one." ”
Does it have to be sent to death by Jiang Zhuzhi?
Jiang Zhuzhi seemed to feel something, and hid behind Liu Xiao.
Thyme didn't look at her, but waved her hand, and Xiao Guo'er's figure appeared behind her.
Like a black viscous liquid, it slowly emerges from the shadows and combines the appearance of an adult.
"There you go."
Xiao Guo'er's face was pale, and she looked weak, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she looked like she was exhausted.
But he agreed: "Yes." ”
"Don't worry, we'll follow you."
Thyme patted Xiao Guo'er on the shoulder and said with a relaxed expression.
After speaking, she jumped down: "Hua Wushou, Wang urged me to go, and the others stayed here to listen to the conductor of Linge." ”
Seeing a few people walking towards the door of the cab, Liu Xiao frowned.
I saw Xiao Guo'er reach out to the door and help the wall, and her body shook.
Liu Xiao didn't understand, why was he so weak?
"Wait a minute!"
After hesitating, he opened his mouth anyway, because now everyone was in the same boat, and if something happened to them, he couldn't escape.
So this is not the time to take chances.
"I use my own people, do you still have something to say?"
"Nope." Liu Xiao shook her head, "There may be a more suitable candidate." ”
Thyme didn't speak, staring at Liu Xiao seriously, she wondered if this person was sick.
After a long time, she was suspicious: "You? ”
"Yes, it's me."
"Are you sick?"
"Don't worry, Captain Baili, I'm more worried about my own life than you. And we're in the same boat now, and I don't want to put my life on a sick man. ”
He glanced at Xiao Guo'er, the doctor's ability was not yet closed, and he saw a mutilated body.
Covered with scars, there is also a messy divinity that cannot be healed, and unobstructed qi and blood.
He didn't know what happened to Xiao Guo'er, but he knew that if he didn't take care of his body well, although this person would not die immediately, his life would definitely be short, and he would be riddled with diseases in the future.
"That's what you asked, not me." Thyme emphasized.
"I asked for it on my own initiative, and it doesn't count as if you violated the agreement."
Thyme smiled happily, and while retracting Xiaoguo'er into the shadows, she urged Liu Xiao to hurry away.
Jiang Zhuzhi pulled Liu Xiao's sleeve and refused to let go.
Liu Xiao patted her on the shoulder, said relieved, and then raised her feet and left.
When the group came to the deck, Liu Xiao glanced around and made sure that there was no change from just now, so he nodded at the thyme.
Then climb over the fence and fall towards the sea.
Although there was a reef not far away, he still chose the sea, mainly because he didn't have the skills to ensure that he could land on the uneven reef from such a high level.
The ability was activated, the sea surface was concave and unloaded, and Liu Xiao landed steadily on the sea.
Seeing Liu Xiao's "water walking" for the second time, Hua Wuchou showed a hint of playful expression and thoughtfulness.
If it weren't for something more important now, he would definitely jump down immediately and step on the sea at Liu Xiao's feet to see why it was not the same as his own ability.
Liu Xiao controlled the Guihong Sword to fly into his arms, blocked it with his coat, and then raised his feet and walked forward into the thick fog.
The mist is icy but gives a refreshing and refreshing feeling.
As she got closer and closer to the island, there were more reefs, and Liu Xiao left the sea and stepped on the reef, and then stepped on the reef to move forward.
All the way to the edge of the island, nothing happened.
Glancing back, although covered in thickness, he saw the three people following in the distance.
Taking a deep breath to tense himself, he jumped lightly on his legs and jumped towards the island.
It's a sandy beach, and as long as you step on the beach, you are officially stepping on the island.
This distance is not far, Liu Xiao does not need to use extraordinary ability, as long as he jumps as an ordinary person, he can cross the small section of sea water in the middle.
But he was in mid-air, and his feet had just left the reef, when a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
This is not a life-and-death crisis, so this uneasiness is very faint, and if he is not extremely nervous, he may not have noticed.
His body crossed a section of the water and came to the top of the beach, and his feet fell and stepped on the sand.
The sand was soft and sunken, and his feet were buried a little bit in the sand.
One centimeter...... Two centimeters...... Three centimeters......
Rumble!
With a loud bang, Liu Xiao's feet exploded, and the huge reaction force lifted him out.
In mid-air, he adjusted his body and landed steadily.
To be precise, it landed on the surface of the sea.
At this time, the sea water that was blown up into the sky turned into a light rain and fell.
The loud bang just now did not come from an ambush, but from Liu Xiao.
As his feet sank deeper and deeper, he unleashed his abilities to blast his telekinesis under his feet, using the tremendous reaction force to fly himself out.
At the same time he saw anomalies.
On the beach of the island, where I just settled, there is no change.
Such a big eruption that not even a single pit remained.
Behind her, the three of Thyme rushed over, Hua Wuchou and Wang Xuan were both walking on the sea, while Thyme stepped on the reef to advance, no matter how far apart the two reefs were, she could always jump to it.
Before they could get closer, Liu Xiao left the sea and stepped on a reef.
"What's going on?" Hua Wuchou asked, they were far away, and there was a thick fog blocking it, so they didn't see what was happening, only heard a loud bang.
Liu Xiao's eyes returned to normal, staring at the small piece of beach in the thick fog, and the shadow was about to be, as if it was fake.
"See that beach? That's the edge of the island. ”
Several people carefully identified it and nodded their heads to indicate that they had seen it.
Liu Xiao leaned down and reached out a small stone with both hands along the reef into the sea.
Checking it in his hand, he walked forward first: "Come, come closer." ”
At a distance where they could all see clearly, Liu Xiao raised her hand and threw the stone over.
I saw the stone draw a perfect parabola in the air and fall into the water with a thud.
Walked through that stretch of sand and fell into the water!
Even everyone saw the splash and saw the ripples.
The answer is that the island does not exist, just a false illusion.
"Alert."
Thyme said the moment the stone fell into the water.
Hua Wuchou raised his hand, and a column of water rose from the sea and fell into his hand, turning into a huge one-man tall black sickle.
Wang Xuan's right hand gurgled, and a white bone sword stretched out from his palm and held it in his hand.
The two are separated from each other, each guarding in different directions.
Liu Xiao glanced at this person named Wang Xuan, he usually doesn't talk much, his eyes are a little gloomy, he seems to be a person who is not easy to get along with, in fact, as long as he talks a few words, he knows that he is just not good at words.
Now that I'm seeing his abilities for the first time, it really hurts my bones.
It is normal for thyme to keep them on guard, and the island is illusory, indicating that the enemy is always there, and their side is in the light and the other side is in the dark.
But Liu Xiao is not nervous, if the other party wants to use the illusory island to attack, he can do it a long time ago, there is no need to wait until now.
The best time to do it is the moment you jump on the "beach" yourself, and now, the opportunity has passed.
Liu Xiao said: "The other party may just be trying to delay time. ”
Thyme asked, "How can you be sure?" Obviously, killing us at this time is a better choice. ”
"It means that the other party knows that they can't do it."
This is just speculation, and the reason is simple, even using the doctor's field of vision, no anomalies can be found.
It means that the people who are in ambush here have long left, otherwise they have taken great pains to erase the traces.
The Emperor's Ruins contain spirits, which require a physician to see, indicating that there must be a physician in all the organizations that come, and even if there is none, there must be a transcendent item that can replace the physician.
So it would be unwise to leave traces.
It is a fact that the other party has already left, or has specially erased the traces, and finally did not launch an attack.
If it is the former, then it is naturally needless to say.
If it is the latter, it means that the other party believes that he is not the opponent of Jun Jue, and the other party is likely to be a small private organization like Jun Jue, and its combat effectiveness should not be strong.
After hearing this, Thyme asked, "Which reason do you think it is?" ”
Liu Xiao thought for a while and said what she thought: "I think the other party has left a long time ago." ”
"Why?"
"Because the other side has spent a lot of money, ready to block everyone who approaches, the shockwave is one, and this island is also one. And the other party may be successful, if Captain Baili wants to get a piece of the pie, he must hurry up. ”
Because the other party only arranged an illusory island, and there was no killing opportunity, or he did not find a killing opportunity.
It means that all they want is time.
Thyme didn't have the impulse, and looked down at his feet: "Take a reef and prepare to return." ”
Hua Wuchou joined forces with Wang Xuan, smashed a large piece of reef and carried it back.
The others saw a few people returning, and all of them came to the deck to ask what had happened.
A loud bang had just come here, and it made them very worried.
Liu Xiao didn't know how to explain, and then she saw Thyme looking at her with slanted eyes, smiling rather than smiling.
"Captain Baili, as you wish."
"What do you mean by what I want, it's obviously your own volition."
Thyme straightened her hair and touched her dress, her eyes dodging, and she looked like a little girl.
Liu Xiao shook her head, this thyme doesn't know how old she is, just because she looks small, and she is very handy at using her looks to do these things.
Then he saw that Thyme saw that he didn't blame him, and turned his head and pretended that nothing discordant had happened.
Several people explained the matter, and the others looked surprised when they heard it.
Noon was light and straight, and hurriedly urged thyme to hurry up, and couldn't let others take the lead.
Lin Ge became much more sophisticated, and pondered: "How can there be a reef group in the middle of such a large ocean? ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the stone that Hua Wuchou and Wang Xuan brought back, and squatted down to take a closer look.
Soon his voice came: "The reef time is too short, there are no shellfish, not even seagrass, it seems to be artificial." Add to this the shuttle forests on the islands, and it is almost certain that the islands are fake and the reefs are artificial. ”
Hua Wuchou suddenly spoke: "This means that the other party has a person who can make stones?" ”
Liu Xiao remembered the soldiers who served the temple of the God Kingdom, so she said, "It may also be someone who controls the stone." ”
"We're not going to make a trip in vain, are we?"
Xia Xing, another assistant of Linge, spoke.
Thyme glared at him: "Since you are here, how can you leave like this, and you have to go over to meet each other."
"Everyone returned to the cabin. Singing, sailing, ready to go! ”
Thyme gave an order, everyone agreed in unison, and Liu Xiao also followed and returned to the cabin.
