Chapter 214: Escape
"Shhh...... It seems like...... Feasible. ”
In the underground treasure house, Zheng Shu touched his chin and looked at the sheepskin scroll in his hand and thought.
Seeing what was written in this parchment scroll, Zheng Shu thought that perhaps he could try to get in touch with the Greek gods through these rituals at some necessary moment.
If it were a normal world of ancient Greek mythology, Zheng Shu would not choose to get in touch with the gods when he was killed, after all, this group of gods in ancient Greek legends is worthy of the name of being the first creature in the world - it is quite a nascent (animal).
Not to mention a god with a little kindness, in the entire ancient Greek mythological system, it is already difficult to find a god with a relatively normal three views.
Not to mention anything else, Zeus, the most famous god in ancient Greek mythology, is a real universal plug that can be used by men and women, young and old, regardless of species.
If this were in an ordinary mythical world, Zheng Shu would be eager to scratch his face on the spot to prevent himself from being pouted.
And not only gods, even many so-called heroes in orthodox mythology are not good things in Zheng Shu's opinion, and there are only a handful of people who can really be named heroes.
However, the premise of all this is that this is the orthodox world of ancient Greek mythology, and fortunately, the world where Zheng Shu is now is Xingyue, although there are also many bastards in the gods inside, but on the whole, it is relatively normal.
There are also many gods in this, and they can even be called doting on their followers, compared to the gods in the orthodox mythological world who are willing to kill their entire families or slaughter cities and destroy countries at every turn because of a trivial matter, it is simply not too perfect.
Of course, although most of the gods in the Moon World are very good, Zheng Shu still has to be careful, after all, some gods will still follow the original setting to some extent.
"So...... It's good to ignore the sacrificial information related to Zeus. Zheng Shu silently made a decision in his heart.
Although he also covets Zeus's template as a god-king, but if the price is to be pouted, then he would rather not have this template.
After putting away the sheepskin scroll and resealing it in a metal cylinder, with such a windfall, Zheng Shu continued to pack up the remaining wreckage with a brisk expression.
It may be that today's luck is good, and it didn't take long for Zheng Shu to find a new harvest.
"What is this?" Zheng Shu looked at a metal handle that was exposed after lifting a piece of wood that was more than one person high.
The handle appears to be made of metal, with fine hemp rope wrapped around it as a non-slip, and is quite thick in diameter, looking like it is about five centimeters.
The upper part of the handle was pressed down by the heavy wood, and it appeared that it was wrapped in a large piece of the ship's wreckage, so that the pure metal thing could be washed ashore with the current.
Zheng Shu looked at the wreckage of the ship, calculated it in his brain a little, and reached out to grab one of the gaps.
"Whew...... Scold! ”
As Zheng Shu exhaled and exhaled, the wreckage of the multi-ton ship was lifted open by him, revealing the upper part of the metal handle, which was actually a mace that looked quite heavy.
The whole mace resembles the shape of a bat, and the overall appearance seems to be elongated, about one meter and two in length, and the head hammer in the upper part even reaches an astonishing twenty centimeters wide. The first third of the entire mace was also covered with thick nails, and even Zheng Shu felt that it couldn't be considered a nail, it was a pile of cones.
It seems that the mace is now covered in mottled rust after a long period of sea washing, but the rust does nothing to the thick weapon, except to make it look more hideous.
Zheng Shu stretched out his hand to hold the handle and tried to pick up the mace, but he felt a sinking in his hand, and the seemingly slender mace had a mass of almost tons.
"This ...... It's kind of interesting. ”
Raising the mace with both hands shaking vigorously, Zheng Shu squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and finally saw through the rust on the surface that there were some stars on the metal surface of the mace that looked similar to starlight, and a little energy fluctuation could be felt from the inside of the mace, it seemed that this should be a magic weapon.
Boom.
Putting the hammer head of the mace on the ground, Zheng Shu held the handle with both hands, feeling the smooth touch, and suddenly had an urge to destroy something, it felt like picking up a very perfect branch on the road as a child, facing the rape flowers in the surrounding fields.
After searching around, Zheng Shu set his eyes on the wreckage of the ship that he had lifted up just now.
"Hoo ......"
Zheng Shu let out a long breath, his hands relaxed slightly, and narrowed his eyes to aim at the thick wreckage of the ship in front of him. Then he swung his mace with a fierce force with both hands.
Bang!
There was a cracking sound, and the originally huge wooden remains in front of Zheng Shu turned into fine pieces of wood chips scattered in all directions. A gust of wind also erupted in the enclosed underground vault, and the storm mixed with sawdust slammed into the walls like a meat grinder, and was blocked by the glowing magic array.
At this time, the magic system in the treasury was already working, and all kinds of light collected the broken wood chips, gathered them into a groove and transported them. Zheng Shu didn't care about the messy treasure house, but continued to look at the heavy weapon in his hand.
At the moment when the mace touched the wreckage of the ship, Zheng Shu could clearly see a faint light flashing on the wreckage of the wreckage, and then the wreckage of the ship touched by the mace exploded completely from the center, even the part far away from the contact point was broken unevenly.
"Excellent! Looks like today's harvest is pretty good. Placing the mace in the corner of the treasure house, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction, this time the harvest was indeed much better than he imagined.
"So, choose this parchment roll as my reward this time." After Zheng Shu disposed of the last bit of wreckage, he threw away the metal cylinder in his hand and left the treasure house leisurely.
……
……
Time flies, and another five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Shu sat on the beach and looked at the sea, his long hair fluttering in the wind.
Fifteen-year-old Zheng Shu's body has grown and has become very straight, and the dragon's genes have made his figure reach the most perfect standard, and with the growth of age, Zheng Shu's strength has also been greatly improved.
Coupled with the gradual increase in age and strength, Zheng Shu will not look inferior even if he stands next to the three Gorgonne sisters.
"Almost...... It's time to get out of here. ”
Zheng Shu looked at the sea with a melancholy expression, for him, being born on this island was worthy of an advantageous start, not only obtained three god-level enhancement templates at one time, but also obtained a large number of influencing factors in so many years of life. Although he suffered a lot because of the lack of common sense of the goddesses, these hardships were acceptable compared to these gains.
If he could, Zheng Shu naturally hoped to wait for his body to become a complete adult before sailing, after all, this is ancient Greece, and there will be some demons and monsters at every turn, and demigod heroes are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may be buried in the Jedi.
Unfortunately, a conversation he heard the other day made him abandon this idea and instead plan to execute his escape plan in advance.
A few days ago, Zheng Shu was cleaning the palace and overheard a conversation between Steno and Yuri Ellie:
"Kaya is getting less and less cute." It was Steno's voice.
"Yes, he was originally a cute child, but now his appearance has gradually changed to a handsome male." Eurie Ellie's voice was full of disgust, "I don't have the cute feeling I had when I was a kid at all. ”
"And Kaya's disgusting muscles have grown rapidly lately, and she is not as cute as she used to be." Steno's tone was full of sadness, as if he had seen his doll destroyed, "Is there any way to make those muscles disappear?" ”
"Hmm...... As far as I know, if an animal is castrated, its muscle growth slows down and it becomes fat. Yuri Ellie closed her eyes and thought for a moment, her power as a god gave her the knowledge she needed immediately.
Steno's eyes lit up: "So how about we castrate Kaya too?" ”
"Sounds like a great idea!"
At this end of the recollection, Zheng Shu would unconsciously feel a pain in his lower body every time he thought of this dialogue, although theoretically with the self-healing ability of the dragon clan, he could grow back even if he was cut off, but Zheng Shu definitely didn't want to experience such torture.
And Zheng Shu can't be sure if he is reborn, whether the two goddesses will choose to do it again. Of course, with what he knew about Steno and Yuri Ellie, he was almost 100% sure that they would definitely do it again when the time came. So in order to keep his basket and allow himself to live as a man, he can only decide to leave here early.
Observing the direction of the wind, Zheng Shu twitched his nose and sniffed the smell of the sea breeze, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up from the beach: "It's here!" ”
As his words fell, the sky in the distance quickly darkened, and it looked like a dark cloud was covering the island.
With Zheng Shu's eyesight, he could also see the lightning and the majestic rain under the dark clouds.
This was the opportunity Zheng Shu had been waiting for, and he reached out and pulled a small wooden boat out of the grass and bushes next to him. This is Zheng Shu's carefully prepared escape tool, which is reinforced with magic to ensure that the wooden ship will not be damaged even in the face of violent storms.
Inside the wooden boat, there was also the mace that Zheng Shu found in the treasure house as a ballast object.
Of course, going to sea without food and fresh water, and when it is still stormy outside, is definitely a dead end for ordinary people, and it is the kind that dies so much that there is not even scum left.
But for Zheng Shu, this is an excellent opportunity to escape, for him, although this will be very troublesome, but it is not enough to kill Zheng Shu, who is a dragon. On the contrary, the storm can also hide his tracks.
The reason why they didn't prepare fresh water and food was because as the three gods who had been living on the island, the three Gorgon sisters had a terrifying ability to control the island, and anything born from the island could not escape their tracking, even the wooden boat was made by Zheng Shu from the wreckage of a ship washed up by the sea.
Seeing the storm coming to his head, facing the huge raindrops, Zheng Shu pushed the wooden boat into the sea, and then jumped in.
One last glance at the island behind him, although he felt a little sorry for Medusa, Zheng Shu resolutely looked back at the sea for his basket.
Gathering his hair, Zheng Shu stretched out his hand and swiped it, and the originally smooth long hair was simply cut off, leaving only a refreshing short hair.
With a casual throw, the long hair was scattered and scattered everywhere by the sea breeze that blew with it, and these hairs stained with Zheng Shu's breath could be used to mislead the tracking of the three goddesses.
Taking out the oars that had been prepared in advance and placed in the wooden boat, Zheng Shu rowed hard against the storm, and with the blessing of the dragon's terrifying power, the small boat that was originally blown away from the shore by the strong wind set off huge waves on both sides of the ship as if it had added jets, and it was obviously a wooden boat but ran out of the speed of the speedboat.
Under Zheng Shu's frantic shaking, the boat left the island where he had lived for fifteen years like an arrow from the string, and headed for the depths of the sea.
Zheng Shu rowed the oars for a whole day, forced through the storm belt, and let the boat come to a calm ocean before he stopped his arms tiredly.
Lying on the boat and taking a big breath for a while, Zheng Shu could feel a steady stream of energy poured into his body around him, this is the talent of absorbing ether and elements to supply body energy in the three-generation dragon clan strengthening template, and it seems that he can absorb the power of magic in the air in this world.
It just so happened that the power of the god generation of the Great Source of the Moon World was extremely strong, and the magic power was huge enough to even supply a creature like a dragon to survive, so Zheng Shu just lay on the boat and rested for a while before returning to his normal state.
After the rest was completed, Zheng Shu had time to check the loss of the wooden boat, although it had been reinforced by magic, but after passing through a whole thunderstorm, the wooden boat still had a certain degree of damage, although it can still be supported now, but it will inevitably disintegrate in a few days over time.
At that time, no matter how strong Zheng Shu is, drifting on the sea after losing the vehicle will inevitably be a dead end, but for Zheng Shu, this is not his most troublesome crisis now, and the problem he needs to solve the most now is that he has completely lost his way.
There was no hope that any markers could be found on the vast sea, and Zheng Shu didn't even know how he should row so as not to return to the island.
But fortunately, Zheng Shu also prepared in advance before setting off, although the risk is relatively large, but it is still acceptable for Zheng Shu.
Taking out a few pieces of bread prepared in advance from the cabin, Zheng Shu put the bread on the bow of the boat, and dipped his finger in the sea water to draw a few symbols representing the sea god around it.
Recalling what he had learned in the parchment scroll, Zheng Shu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and began the next step of prayer after confirming that there was no mistake in his ritual arrangement this time:
"Poseidon, the great god of the sea, I offer you a precious gift and pray that I will reach my destination safely."
After reading this sentence in a very pious voice, Zheng Shu waited with some trepidation.
The Greek gods had absolute control over their own rules, and theoretically anyone who recited their names would be able to hear them. However, for the gods, especially those whose beliefs are widely spread, there will be a large number of believers praying at all times, and it is naturally impossible for them to spend time responding one by one, so if they want to gather the eyes of the gods on themselves, generally speaking, believers need to pay more excellent sacrifices.
To be honest, Zheng Shu's sacrifice is not very good, it can even be called simple, but he also has his own advantage - he has lived with the three goddesses for a long time.
If you follow some of the words of Zheng Shu's previous life (yes), it is that he has entered the circle of gods, and he has been regarded as his own by the gods a long time ago.
In a sense, this may be the greatest benefit of being born on that island.
Crash......
Just as he was thinking, a wave on the originally calm sea suddenly lifted from the sea and slapped on the bow of the boat, and after the sea receded, the hair that Zheng Shu had originally enshrined in the bow of the ship was gone.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Shu also relaxed, because it meant that the sacrifice he offered was accepted.
Thank you for the tips from the readers of Moonfall Shenhua, and thank you again for your support.
