Volume II, Chapter 27: The Land of the Dead
Thyme said: "Since we have the ability to get here, why do we want to go back?" ”
Nightfly took a sip of wine and asked drunkenly, "Who are you relying on to get here?" ”
No one answered him, but he knew the answer too, because everyone's eyes were on Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao was not surprised at all when she saw Ye Hotaru looking at herself while drinking.
Before he could say anything, Yehotaru suddenly raised the flask and shook it, and then handed it to Thyme: "It's gone." ”
"Don't drink it if it's gone, you've already drunk the amount of a few people in a while!"
"Stingy." Nightfly shook her hand helplessly.
As the Jun Jue approached the island, it got closer and closer to the two giant ships, and gradually the people on board could be seen.
The rope on the side automatically flew over and tied up the night firefly, of course, it was tied very casually, and it didn't tie the knot.
The Jun Jue passed through the middle of the two huge ships, and the small boat drawn by Liu Xiao dragged behind the Jun Jue and approached the island together, unhindered.
The hemispherical islands were washed away by the flood caused by the shock waves, and were littered with water trails and destroyed vegetation.
There are no large rocks on the island, so the edges of the island are very smooth, which makes the whole island look like a ...... An artifact.
No one stopped Zheng and Thyme, she reminded the others to pay attention to the dynamics of the two sides, and she also came to the bow of the boat Liu Xiao, and looked at the island in front of her.
It's so quiet all around.
Asking Yehotaru didn't give any useful results, after all, the old man of Nanshan hadn't returned to the ship for three days, and even why he was fighting with the Emperor of the Dating Empire didn't know why.
Liu Xiao opened her vision and checked it, but she didn't see any spirits, not even any living creatures on the island.
Thyme wants to go to the island, but Liu Xiao refuses.
At the beginning, I promised to only go around the periphery, but now I have fulfilled my promise.
Thyme was angry, but had nothing to say.
If you want to say that the pen is not worth it, then Liu Xiao saved their lives and brought them here to pay them off.
And at this time, the old man of Nanshan and the emperor of the Dating Empire were gone, and the two ships all remained motionless, and they did not go to the island to look for them, everything was a little weird.
Seeing that she couldn't convince Liu Xiao, Thyme could only give up and prepare to bring others to the island together.
Nightfly set his eyes on the Wild Hope of the Heavenly Wu Kingdom, he didn't understand what had happened during the time he had come to stop him, didn't there be an order to stop the other ships from approaching? Why was the Jun Jue able to come to the edge of the island with such a swagger?
On the other side, Shi Jiang of the Dating Empire also has a wait-and-see attitude.
Watching Thyme and the others pack up their equipment, Liu Xiao had a hint of foreboding in her heart.
No, I don't have the ability to foresee danger, and some only perceive it in advance when it comes.
As soon as this thought arose, Liu Xiao immediately shouted: "Be careful! ”
At the same time, his body bounced directly off the deck and retreated back dozens of meters away.
The Jun Jue began to disintegrate from the bow of the ship, shattering, as if an invisible hand had smashed it with a fist.
Suddenly, the newly restored Jun Jue broke off from the middle, and the tail was raised high.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Xiao untied the rope that tied Ye Hotaru, and he himself rushed into the cabin to rescue Jiang Zhuzhi, who was still asleep.
When he came to the boat, he lowered her and opened his divine vision and looked towards the Junjue.
I saw a tentacle hundreds of meters long stretching out from the highest point of the island, destroying half of the Jun Jue with a single blow.
The tentacles are like spirits in the divine vision, and they are peculiarly opaque.
The tentacles raised and waved across the sky, and the Junjue sank to create a huge whirlpool.
Liu Xiao pushes the boat away from the sinking Junju.
This time, Jun Jue will say goodbye to everyone forever, at this time, Yu Xiaolou has not recovered, and he has no ability to launch another repair.
The tentacles didn't attack again, they flinched back and disappeared.
The crew members of the overboard helped each other and came to the boat.
Standing on the peony flowers on the sea, Yehotaru did not rush back to the Wild Hope, but leaned over and asked, "What happened?" ”
Liu Xiao glanced at thyme, then at the drunken Jiang Zhuzhi, and said, "There are sea monsters." ”
Thyme pointed at Jiang Zhuzhi: "What she said is true?" ”
Nightfly is a little strange, I don't know how this person who has no ability to protect from beginning to end only by other people knows that there is a sea monster here.
I didn't say a few words here, and there was a change on the island.
An invisible ripple spread out around the island, covering everyone's heads in pain.
Only Liu Xiao was not affected in any way.
Even the sleeping Jiang Zhuzhi grabbed his hair in pain and rolled wildly on the deck.
None of the others were much better, including thyme and fireflies.
Liu Xiao didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't feel anything himself, the only thing that was something unusual was a staccato voice in his head.
The voice was too soft, like a dying sigh.
But it was so clear, just like when he saw the emperor, he didn't need to open his mouth to hear the divine thoughts directly in his mind.
“…… Huaxu ...... Traces ......"
He tried to hear clearly, but he couldn't hear clearly, the sound came from his head, and if it wasn't clear, it wasn't clear, and there was no way to change it.
So he gave up, immediately raised his hand, and spread his divinity to surround the ship.
He didn't know if it worked, but he had to give it a try.
Fortunately, after the divine barrier wrapped around the ship, the pain of everyone on board instantly decreased, and soon all of them calmed down.
Night Hotaru knelt on the deck, sweat streaming down her forehead: "I feel...... Someone seems to ...... Stirring my head with a spoon. ”
Everyone else spoke up and came to the same conclusion, except for Thyme, who was slightly better, and she said, "Someone is trying to stuff something into my head." ”
Liu Xiao immediately asked, "Stuffing things?" ”
Thyme shrunk into a small ball in the corner, sweat wetting the hair on her forehead: "I don't know, there is too much information, I don't dare to listen to it, I'm afraid I can't bear it." ”
The less this voice that people can't hear, the less it seems to affect the more divine people they have, and Jiang Zhuzhi is the only one who suffers the most.
Liu Xiao came to her side and let some of the divinity leave her body and enter her body, helping her relieve her pain.
"They're stumped." Nightfly looked in the direction of the Wild Hope and spoke slowly.
There are already people on the Yewang who can't bear the pain and choose to commit suicide, and the same is true on the Shijiang on the other side.
And Liu Xiao saw a different scene.
I saw a wisp of opaque green smoke floating from the bodies of all the dead, forming a human form, and flying towards the island at a high speed.
It seems that some of the rumors are true.
Nightfly slumped on the deck, biting the broken flask in her mouth, and said vaguely, "I told you not to give me wine, but now it's okay, it's not at all." ”
After saying that, he sighed again, and the wine jug in his mouth also fell aside: "All dead...... They're all dead......"
As confirmed by Nightfly's words, it didn't take long for a single living person on both ships to be gone, and all the spirits of all of them left their bodies and flew towards the island.
Liu Xiao felt more and more that the whole island was like a man-made object, and her heart became more uneasy, even fearful.
It's better to leave now.
The old man of Nanshan is very strong, but he is not enough to clean up the surroundings so cleanly, but the things on this island can.
Nightfly said that when they arrived three days ago, they had only cleared the surrounding ships, but rumors about the Emperor's ruins had already spread, and there should have been many who arrived before them.
But now it's true that I don't see a single one.
The reason for this is that the proximity attracted the attention of the island's presence, which led to an attack.
All the living died, and their spirits were collected, and all ships sank.
Moreover, the depth position of the sea area on the edge of the island cannot be seen as a change no matter how many ships sink it.
Although the ship was drawn by Liu Xiao, it is also a reference to the Jun Jue, although the ship is small, it has everything that should be in the cockpit.
Linge started the ship and slowly moved away from the island, heading towards the Tianwu Guoye Wang.
This is the result of discussions, you must know that there is no fresh water and food on this ship now, and it is simply not enough to return to the mainland.
The only option is either the Kaiye Hope or the Shijiang.
Both ships were 100 meters long, so they weren't as close to the island as the Junju, which may be one of the reasons why they weren't attacked.
As the boat approached the Wild Lookout, the invisible ripples on the island were heard again.
This time, Liu Xiao heard more clearly than just now.
"Huaxu...... Traces ......"
Huaxu? Traces?
What does that mean? If it's a proper noun, it doesn't make any sense if I know it.
After thinking about it for a while, he unfolded his divinity again and protected everyone.
Yehotaru stared at Liu Xiao and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"A ...... in the Kingdom of God"
Before he finished speaking, Yehotaru took over the conversation: "Painter, I know, can you say something I don't know?" ”
"That's gone."
Liu Xiao made all the preparations when she left the Kingdom of Serving God, and she didn't plan to reveal her real name.
"How did your abilities come about, your scrolls, your pen ......"
"Ability is innate, the scroll is family heirloom, and the pen is given by Captain Baili."
"Captain Baili? You're not one of her men? Yehotaru immediately noticed the difference in Liu Xiao's words.
This led him to become even more convinced that Liu Xiao was hiding a lot of things.
Thyme had already found out that the doctor she had found was a little unusual, but she was still worried about Yehotar blocking her, so she immediately said:
"Who's to say it isn't? He's my subordinate! Now that you're alone, you're at the mercy of Jun's command. ”
Yehotaru shook her head: "Jun Jue? The Absolute is gone. ”
"Why not." Thyme pointed to the tall giant wheel Wild Hope on his head, "From now on, this is the Jun Jue." ”
The Wild Hope was nearly twice as large as the Junjue, and the small boat that everyone was riding in was like a child's toy at its feet.
Nightfly didn't know what to think, so she opened her mouth to argue with thyme: "That can't change the fact that Jun Jue has sunk. ”
Listening to their quarrel, Liu Xiao turned her head to look at the island.
He heard voices again.
Clearer, more visible.
At the same time, he found that no one else reacted except himself.
