At this time, the walking corpse, whose upper body was only flesh and blood, had been disassembled into pieces one after another.

Arka was completely sure that the monster's constructs, including the metal plates on its skin, had grown.

It wasn't sewn with anything.

A lot of things have to be overturned, which means that there may not be any undead makers on this island.

Now there's one more possibility, and that's something on the island that affects these corpses.

In the worst case, it is even possible that these corpses, when they were still alive and human before they became corpses, were affected by this power.

Causes some parts to grow into metal and magical machines.

Flesh can grow metal, and even a construct that can move like a body.

Arka felt that this was not something that could be achieved with a simple spell effect.

He seriously suspected that this might be the power of the treasure.

Standing up, Alka's hands gushed out with magic, and two clear springs gushed out.

Wash away the dirt and debris around you, though Julia's shield can be used to protect against negative energies or germs that may be hidden.

After that, Arka turned to the crowd and said, "Be vigilant, this island is dangerous. ”

How can it be safe to make flesh grow metal and magical machinery?

And the members of the Holy Machine Church who were trapped on this island, I don't know if these strange corpses have anything to do with him.

If it had anything to do with him, they might have been exposed.

Thinking of what Arka, who came to this island in the first place, he couldn't help but frown.

"Let's move on."

As they spoke, they maintained their formation and continued to move towards the depths of the dense forest.

"The metal that grows from flesh and blood has encountered such a thing before it reaches the boundless sea, and when it reaches the boundless sea, I don't know what other outrageous situations can be encountered."

Jason passed by the corpse that had been dismantled into parts and couldn't help but complain.

Hearing Jason's words, Bororo, who was walking in front, couldn't help but say, "Is it so exaggerated? I don't think there's anything too strange written in that book. ”

Hearing this, Arka continued: "The story in that book is obviously incoherent, and the author hides a lot of things. There are some stories and experiences that are acceptable to normal people, and we don't see the end yet, do we? It's like it's broken in the middle. ”

As for Alka's words, several people nodded and they all saw this.

The experience in the book often jumps a long distance, for example, at the beginning of the book, they are still writing, they have just arrived in the Infinite Sea, and then they jump directly to the Infinite Sea for two or three years.

After that, they jumped for another year or two, and the interval between each thing was as short as half a year or as long as three or five years.

By the end of the day, they had spent twenty or thirty years in the Infinite Sea.

However, at the end, they are still continuing to sail, and many of the gains and experiences are not written in detail, all of them are written in one stroke.

On the contrary, there are some peculiar landscapes, but they are described in great detail.

And most of the energy that is written is some peculiar, and it will make people yearn for the experience physically and mentally after reading it.

From here, it can be seen that this is deliberate by the author, which is specially written to show them those who are still in the sea of the gods.

When Bororo heard everyone's words and my additions, he suddenly nodded in understanding.

It turned out that he was the only one who took the book as its own.

Human beings are so fond of intrigue.

The silver ripples were still spreading along the soles of Xia Daiti's feet.

After advancing to a certain extent, Shadetti began to lead the crowd no longer to go straight, but to circle the entire island.

This can improve the efficiency of Shadetti's island exploration faster.

Because the first thing Shadetti had to do was to detect the entire island and map the entire terrain of the entire island for Arka's reference.

When the map comes out, it's time for them to really start exploring the island.

This is the process they have learned after several explorations on the sea of their homeland, and it has become the standard action of their team.

It all comes from Arka's keen sense of treasure hunting.

There was a serious suspicion that this was due to the blessing of Our Lady, after all, Arka had seen the revelation of Our Lady twice, and was still a native of the homeland island.

However, Arka didn't say it explicitly, only said that it could be.

Arka himself felt that his golden finger might be a blessing from the Virgin.

They could feel the slope steepening beneath their feet, and they made their way around to the cliff they had seen before.

Here there is a huge trace, a huge crater formed like an explosion.

There was a lot of wreckage inside, but the wreckage was wooden and rotten.

Arka slid into the pit, looked at the wreckage, and looked at it for a while before climbing up.

"The time caused by this mark and the metal wreckage should be from the same time period, and it was part of a ship, presumably the stern side panels.

Somehow, I rushed to this part of the island. ”

Hearing Alka's words, Jason said with some surprise: "It's impossible for the ship to get there from around and behind the island, so you can only come all the way from the front, who pushed the ship over?" ”

"Don't think about that, we know too little information, and we can't be sure if we think about it."

As he spoke, the crowd skimmed over the wreckage and began to circle the other halfway.

This half of the movement passed very calmly, and then continued to walk in a straight line on the side, exploring towards the center.

As they began to explore further, the fishy smell came again.

Once again, the crowd had to be vigilant.

"Stop."

Xia Daiti squatted down as he spoke, and everyone squatted down after him.

I saw her stretch out her hand and point in one direction, and everyone looked carefully, only to see that on the side of the big tree, an arm was exposed.

It hung down on the ground, and a part of the iron could be seen through the exposed part of the hand.

Lucilia's voice came softly from above: "There is one there at 9 o'clock, too. ”

Hearing this, Arka saw that the one was hiding very hidden.

There was a clump of grass there, and if you looked closely through the gap in the grass, you could see the discordant colors, as if there was something hidden inside.

Arka snapped his fingers at the top of his hand, then waved it twice in point.

The crowd nodded.

Arka first threw out a blue card, and Jason also fired an ice bullet at the walking corpse in the grass.

Shadetti and Bororo rushed towards different monsters.

The two walking corpses were clearly not hiding there, they just fell there.

When one of the ice bombs froze and the blue water chain bound one, they began to shake as if they had woken up and tried to stand up.

But by this time they had been imprisoned in place.

Bororo and Shadetti had come to their side.

Both monsters had no mechanical limbs on their bodies, only a few metal plates on their skin.

It was easy to get rid of them.

Then the crowd came up and looked at the two corpses, which were no different from what they had seen before.

However, Xia Daiti seemed to have noticed something, squatted down, and briefly washed the clothes of a corpse with water.

A somewhat vague sign is revealed.

"The Church of the Holy Machine?"

Arka said, looking at the mark.

"Is this the mark of the Church of the Holy Machine?" Jason looked in.

That's the mark of a gear, and in the middle of the gear is an eye.

It's a very recognizable mark.

"Can anyone tell me what the Holy Machine Church is?" Juan Lu raised his hand slightly and said.

He looked as if everyone knew it, but he was at a loss, he had never heard of this church.

There is also only the Church of Our Lady in the homeland.

Julia, who was beside her, explained, "The church to which the wise man, one of the gods, belongs, you can think of it as the Church of Our Lady of the Confused Ocean, and they should belong to the same level. ”

When he heard this, Juan Lu nodded in realization.

Although he was the last to join them, Arka and the others also told him some information about the outside world.

For example, the sea controlled by the four gods, and the four gods.

And the churches corresponding to the four gods, in addition to the Holy Mother, they only know the Holy Machine Church.

"So this is a member of the Holy Machine Church?" Juanlu asked.

The clothes on the corpse in front of him had long since been shattered, only some of them were still wrapped around the body, and the pus that had been produced as the corpse decomposed had caused it to be stained black.

It was not at all apparent that he was wearing some kind of church dress.

"Quite possibly."

Arka said, also feeling a little confused.

Will the people in the church also leave the sea under the control of the gods? After all, if you are just a believer, you will not dress like a church member.

He asked the question.

Although he was a native of Homeland Island and was born a believer in the gods, he knew exactly what he was.

As a former preparatory saint of the Church of Our Lady, Xia Daiti nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen such records in some records of the church.

However, there are very few such people, and most of them are people who have been raised by the church since childhood. ”

"With the spirit of adventure, and then left the homeland sea, there is no longer any subsequent information."

"I know of some of the confidential information, and if I ask my dad now, he may have higher authority."

Speaking of this, Xia Daiti couldn't help but think about the fact that his father had become a regional bishop.

At that level, he can already be regarded as a core member of the church, and many core materials will be opened.

"Really? Forget it, move on. ”

As they got closer and closer to the center, there were more and more walking corpses, and even small monsters with half of their bodies completely mechanized appeared.

But fortunately, this kind of monster with half of its body completely mechanized still doesn't grow completely, resulting in an extremely strange action.

Even if the strength reached the five spirals, it was very easy to be solved by them.

The main thing is that both Arka and Julia are able to cope with it easily.

"Looks like we're getting close to some sort of core of this island, how many have we met along the way?" With a single palm, Bororo slapped a walking corpse with iron pieces on its body and smashed it into a nearby tree trunk, turning it into a cake.

Hearing Poloro's question, Jason raised his left hand and froze a walking corpse with an ice bullet, before replying, "Plus this is already the 12th." ”

Then the walking corpse, which was frozen into ice sculptures, was smashed into pieces.

"Isn't there a jungle ahead?" Xia Daiti looked ahead and said, the forest was relatively dim, but there was already a large amount of light in front of him.

And her silver ripples had detected what was ahead for her.

Everyone skipped the corpses, and the formation began to shrink, and they walked out of the dense forest.

As the sun shines, the vision suddenly opens up.

In front of them was a large area of ruins, which were not buildings.

Rather, two ships were destroyed together, a wreck made of metal and a wreck made of wood.

The debris and wreckage left in various parts of the island before should have belonged to these two ships.

"Why is the ship here?" Jason couldn't help but ask, looking at the situation in front of him.

They had just made a circle, and they didn't see any exaggerated traces in the surroundings, and since the ship appeared here, there must have been traces of dragging.

Unless they were built here, the traces around them are even more wrong.

These two ships are as if they fell from the sky.

The direction they came out was the rear of the metal ship, which had been completely twisted and smashed in the middle, but it was still visible.

Looking at the tail of the ship, Arka seemed to understand.

Because the stern of the ship was not as flat as the one they normally used, and was tightly wrapped.

Instead, it had a large circular hole, though it had been somewhat distorted with the destruction.

But the more Arka looked at the hole, the more it felt like a power vent.

"These two ships may have flown over from the sea."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Arka pointed to what he saw ahead and explained:

"See the hole in the tail, if there is a device in it that can shoot strong flames, it can take this ship into the sky in an instant.

If you adjust the angle, you may be able to make the ship run away quickly with exaggerated momentum, or catch up with the enemy. ”

"As for the wooden one, it's likely that it also has a similar structure, or it was just a short flight with a spell."

After all, it shouldn't be difficult for the magical world to use magic to make ships fly or something.

It's also very reasonable.

"Shall we go inside the ship and have a look?"

Jason asked.

Arka shook his head, crouched down and dug into the ground next to them, revealing several human bones in the soft ground.

They had seen such bones on the road, and they had seen many of them.

And they are all fragments of stumps, and it seems that the reason why they have not been turned into undead is because they are too broken.

If you are a little more complete, you may be able to stand up and move.

"Forget it, don't rush it first, go around in a circle, and then explore."

Arka had seen the inside of the ruins of the ships, the walking corpses with metal limbs, lying and leaning, hiding everywhere.

In one of them, a hand and a leg had been completely turned into a completely metal limb.

Such a change in the strength of this walking corpse is at least four or even five spirals, and the limbs are intact.

Unlike the ones they encountered on the periphery before, even if their strength was good, their limbs were not complete, and it was still difficult to hurt them.

Both ships have crashed here, so there will definitely be some treasure left, after all, so many people died.

As long as there is a treasure spot, you will be able to know the approximate difficulty, and it is not too late to come in and explore when the time comes.

It's safer that way.

Hearing Arka's words, everyone had no objections, and it was always good to be vigilant.

The crowd then began to circle the entire ship around the edge of the ruins, allowing Shadaiti to record the surroundings with silver ripples.

"Okay, the general situation of the island has been recorded, and you can go back."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Arka nodded, and then said to everyone: "Okay, let's go back to the ship first, get ready, and come back tomorrow to officially explore these two ships." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, where the sun had completely set, and there was not even much yellow light left in the sky.

Either there is no map or because of the current situation, it is not suitable for exploration.

Not to mention that they had also passed through the storm in the morning, and the state at this time could not be considered full.

Then the crowd walked straight out.

Since the path they chose was different from the one they had just entered, they met several more walking corpses on the way.

However, they already have experience in dealing with them, and they can easily solve them.

The main reason is that most of these walking corpses are not strong, and most of them are in the stage of 2~3 spirals.

And because they have no brains, the means of attack are extremely simple, and it is difficult to cause them any trouble.

And similar to the four helix walking corpses I met before, I met a total of three, and with exquisite cooperation, it was easy to kill.

And so I made my way to the coast.

By the time they reached the shore, the sky had completely darkened, and considering that the island was not safe, the group returned to the Sound of Dawn on the Swift.

Driving the sound of dawn to a stop not far from the island's beach, not daring to go too far, otherwise it will be washed away by the never-ending current, and then there will be no return.

The currents didn't seem to be resistant, but Arka had tried, and it was difficult to get back to the back.

These currents are in waves, and there is a strong impact every once in a while, and the breeze blows straight ahead, so even if you drive hard, you will still be pushed slowly.

Unless you have a strong power to be able to return in such a countercurrent environment.

It is only in the vicinity of such islands that the presence of the islands slows down the intensity of the currents considerably.

After returning to the island, Juanlu began to make dinner for the crowd, and with tomorrow's actions in mind, he decided to make a good meal.

Shadetti also began to draw maps in his room.

Arka waited silently.
