Chapter 113: The Giant Tortoise
The Pillar of Hercules Strait is a group of islands located between the Western Continent and Atlantis. Located in the northeastern corner of the world, it is composed of dozens or even hundreds of islands. But people are afraid to go there, because many people go in and never come out. So it also has another nickname - Dead Island.
And this island of death is destined to be in people's eyes again, because it is where something appears. The great movement of the five empires to mobilize their armies could not escape the eyes of the people. So the official gave this statement, but obviously, these are to fool the people. Surprisingly, the old monsters of the Wizards' Guild and the Warrior Guild, who had always been at odds with the Emperor, shut up at the same time this time and acquiesced to the official statement. Many people with a keen sense of smell have already smelled that something is wrong, as if a storm is coming.
After a week's rest, the post-war affairs of the five empires have been completed, and it doesn't matter to Carl and the others what excuses they find to prevaricate in the past. As the head of the special operations force, all he needs to do is monitor the unusual movements in the Pillar of Hercules Strait.
As for the special operations force, it is a temporary force, and its requirements for team members are also extremely high, every member needs a title-level level, and several major empires also need people to shake the scene, so the overlord and the law saint did not join the ranks of this team. But when this proposal was first proposed, the emperors of the four empires all froze, not for anything else, just because Tia had slaughtered all the title-level masters, so there was no title-level in the Western Continent now. When I learned the news, Atlantis couldn't cry or laugh on this side, I really don't know if I should be happy at this time? Or should I cry? At present, the enemy is not the time to care about this, Atlantis immediately sent a title-level powerhouse on its side.
I don't know where the wind came out, but one day after the establishment of the special operations unit, a group of people claiming to be title-level appeared in the palace. In this way, the number of special operations units went up all at once.
Carl was shocked when he learned that he had been elected as the head of the special operations force, and he still couldn't believe that his father was telling him what was happening at this time. And behind him was Aatrox, who Carl felt he owed a lot. This made Carl, who was originally unwilling, have to agree.
And now a special operations force of fifteen people has approached the Pillar of Hercules Strait. And they were riding the legendary Demonic Beast, the Sea Dragon Beast. A water monster, the body is very large, the limbs are not claws but fins, the back is very broad, and the most peculiar thing is his head, the neck is very long, about ten meters long, and his back is only about twenty meters long, the appearance of the head is the appearance of a dragon, so this is the origin of the name of the sea dragon beast.
This sea dragon beast is a twelfth-level demonic beast, and it is Aatrox's mount. Although Carl wondered why he used a water-based monster as a mount, this was a private matter, and Carl was not easy to ask.
"Carl, look, there's an island ahead. Carl frowned, he couldn't figure out why this guy was there. Halfway through, Carl ran into Yi and Tomares, and Qi'er would definitely stick to Carl's side, needless to say.
"Okay, I've seen it, I'm not blind. Karl said impatiently.
"What's the matter, be happy! your destination is coming, why aren't you happy at all. Tomares said excitedly, with a look of disgust for Carl's lack of fighting spirit.
You guys are here, how can I get up happy. Carl looked down and sighed, shaking his head helplessly. Not only Tomares, but also Yi and those title-level powerhouses all made Carl feel very helpless. After hearing about Carl's deeds, they all thought that Carl had reached the legendary level of a god, a god! This makes these guys who are eager to break through and pursue martial arts excited, plus these guys are cheeky and quarrel all day long, fortunately, there is still Qi'er. With the shield of Qi'er, others don't dare to be too presumptuous. In someone's words, what is it? Don't stir things up, people are so stupid, what kind of light bulb are you going to do, don't be ashamed!
Although he didn't know what they meant, Carl didn't know what to do, and he was happy to be idle. However, Carl observes that Qi'er has behaved strangely these days, and every time he finds Qi'er secretly staring at him, and then when he goes to see her, he turns his head away instantly, and then his neck and face turn red.
It was in this atmosphere that Carl finally came out of it. "Ah, I'm alive again!" As soon as he landed, Carl roared loudly as if he was venting his resentment. It was in this way that Carl felt much better.
"Alright, let's hurry up. It takes a lot of time on the road, so you have to hurry. "Aatrox is the vice-leader, after all, his quality is there.
The crowd packed up their gear, and the magician was guarded by warriors. Then a group of people walked into the interior of the island. As soon as they entered the interior of the island, Karl and the others immediately noticed something unusual. The concentration of elements here is many times richer than that of the outside world.
The Hycules Pillar Strait is made up of many islands, but it is very puzzling that for some reason, there is only one island that can be landed, and the other islands cannot be approached. According to some of the show's explorers, the islands are connected by large bridges, but the bridges are not visible from the outside.
But this statement that people were talking about it was confirmed at the first glance when Carl stepped here. Two very tall arched bridges stand a few hundred meters away. Even from a great distance, Carl could clearly see what the bridge looked like.
"Didn't you say that this island should be wooded, why isn't there even a single plant here? Aatrox stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said solemnly.
As soon as they heard Aatrox's words, Carl and the others also noticed that something was wrong. Indeed, no matter how remote this place is, it is impossible for a tree not to grow!
"Be careful. Aatrox reminded the crowd as the sword behind him was already in his hand. Carl also pulled Qi'er by his side, and the little girl suddenly blushed, but Carl didn't notice.
Affected by the surrounding atmosphere, Tomareth, who has always been active, also kept his mouth shut and stared vigilantly at his surroundings, as if something strange would sneak up on him.
Speechless all the way, because the magicians have a relationship with the transport mount, so Carl and they are not slow along the way. Finally in front of the bridge, Aatrox decided to rest here for the night. After all, it wasn't too early when they came. Although the head of this special operations unit is Karl, the command is still handed over to more experienced. Carl even more simply acted as the shopkeeper and was tired of being with Qi'er all day long. As long as we are separated for a while, some annoying guy will come up and ask questions. Tomares, in particular, relied on a bit of a relationship, and came forward to ask questions constantly.
However, now it is different from before, Tomares also knows that this is a serious matter, so he put away his grinning face and becomes a dead face like Yi. Karl didn't care about him, he was just enjoying himself.
There was no word for a night, but it was the beginning of the next few days of silence. After a few days of trekking, Carl and his party climbed over many islands, but strangely enough, the scene on each island was the same as the first, desolate, barren, and unrelievable, making everyone think they had arrived in prehistoric times.
But the eventual madness of the sight finally came to an end on the seventeenth island. The places he passed along the way had been marked by Aatrox for later generations to find.
"It's finally not desolate. "It's been the same for a few days, and even the magicians who don't care about the world are a little unbearable, but fortunately they can still meditate to spend their time. The warriors were not treated like this, and the desolate sight along the way was about to drive them crazy.
Everyone walked along the bridge to the island, and just when everyone wanted to rest, the strange situation suddenly made Carl and the others, who had been calm for a long time, suddenly feel nervous.
The whole island began to shake violently, and the violent shaking made Carl and the others unable to stand on their feet at all. "Everybody, go back to the bridge. Aatrox stretched out his hand and beckoned the group to go back and take refuge.
But something desperate happened, and the bridge broke in the middle. "What's going on?" everyone couldn't help but be a little flustered, if nothing else, because they all noticed a strange thing, the two ends of the bridge were not on the same level. To put it bluntly, it's they are rising. That is, the island is rising. What is the force that makes such a huge island lift itself? I guess there is only one answer.
"Woo-" A low roar came from the other direction of the island. Aatrox and Karl glanced at each other, almost at the same time, their wings spread, and they soared straight into the sky with them.
The field of vision in the air is wider than on land, so I saw a scene that was surprising. What is that? A big question mark rose in both of their hearts at the same time.
That's a huge black [***]. Aatrox and Carl can be sure that this is the turtle's head, and then the true identity of the island will be revealed. This is a turtle that has been sleeping for an unknown number of years. And a group of them stayed on the back of this giant tortoise.
Aatrox and Carl descended to the ground and broke the news. Everyone also sighed, but they didn't expect it to be like this. (To be continued.) )
