Chapter 246: Encirclement
Everyone at the table was quietly thinking.
What Arka said was real, and there was nothing wrong with such a proposal.
It's better to think it out.
"Simon, do you think if you had the Gathering Orb when you were in the Four Spirals, and you meditate here.
How much time do you think it will take you to get to where you are now? Jason pondered, and suddenly asked Simon next to him.
So he could deduce how long they might be here.
Hearing this, several people at the table looked at Simon.
After all, he was the highest-ranking of them all.
Simon pondered and began to extrapolate his experience.
After a while, he probably came to a more accurate conclusion and said, "It will take more than a year." ”
"And how long will it take you to reach the Nine Spirals now?" Arka asked.
"I don't know, but I think in my current situation, it won't take more than half a year." With that, he raised his right hand and shook the index finger of his precision hand.
That's a treasure.
That is to say, in the case of treasures, from 7~9, with the help of the Boundless Sea and the Gathering Magic Stone, he felt that he would be able to reach it in less than half a year.
"Then if there are more treasures, do you think your previous time to improve your strength will be reduced?" Xia Daiti also asked.
"If I had this [Divine Promotion] all the time, the time I just said could actually be halved."
Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.
In other words, with treasures, gathering magic stones, and the Infinite Sea, it might take them a year to reach the Nine Spirals now.
Not necessarily accurate, but at least a reference standard.
Among them were Arka, Shadetti, Lucilia, and Simon.
And among them, Arka has two treasures, and he will definitely be promoted faster than ordinary people, which is certain. And Simon has seven spirals.
And those who have reached the six spirals are Julia and Martlisha, and the two of them are of the same rank.
The only people with four helixes and no treasures are Polo, Jason and Juan Lu, Juan Lu is not yet four helix, but only for a few days.
That is to say, except for the three of them, the rest of the people are conservatively estimated to reach the nine helixes within a year.
And there will be another treasure soon, and according to the contribution, this treasure will definitely be given priority to Bororo and Jason to choose.
Then in the end, there are only two people who are not guaranteed to reach the Nine Helix in a year.
The rest of the people can meet this standard, and the two people who can't meet the standard but can stabilize their strength will no longer be noticeable.
Because there is nothing strange about the individual cases.
Everyone present figured it out.
"Well, it's a conservative estimate that we'll have to stay on this island for another year, and for the rest of the year, we'll be able to dig up the ruins without wasting time."
Finally, Arka concluded.
"I agree." Simon was the first to raise his hand in agreement, and he wished he could turn the ruins upside down.
Since you're going to be here for so long, you're sure to have enough to gain from the ruins.
"I'm okay with that."
"Yes."
“……”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Arka nodded.
"Then it's decided."
As soon as the words fell, there was a ding-dong sound outside, and Lucilia's eyes lit up slightly and she said, "There is a strange ship coming, do we need to avoid it?" ”
One, who has been on guard in the observation room, has already sent news.
"You stay here for now, and I'll go out and have a look." Arka said, a pink mist pouring out and enveloping him.
Just disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Alka relied on the dream of the pink mist and made it invisible in a strange way.
Look into the distance.
A brig, about 50 meters long, is heading towards the island, from the point of view of its sailing. It seems to have just noticed that the port here was adjusting its angle.
It's not like a straight run, but a chance passing.
The ship is reddish-brown overall, even the sails are painted red, and the emblem on the sails is two crossed white blades.
The entire ship had a one-tier gun deck with closed muzzles.
Compared to Arka, they waited and watched.
The two small town ships in the harbor slid off the rails to the sea. Instead, he sailed out first, as if ready to inquire about the ship's intentions.
The reason why they weren't received like this was because they were the ones who got to town first.
Arka watched from the lookout room as they made contact, and the three ships sailed into the harbor together.
There were already some small harbors crammed with four ships and had become a little crowded.
The reddish-brown ship was also a spell ship, and yes, if it wasn't a spell ship sailing in such a place, the danger of sailing would be too great.
Arka felt that it was no different from seeking death.
A total of twenty or thirty people on the deck stepped off the ship, followed the guidance of the islanders on board, and walked towards the town.
You can feel their curious gaze, and from time to time look at the sound of dawn parked at the harbor.
After watching them leave, there were still some people left on the ship to stay.
Arka squinted slightly, looking at the men left behind on the ship.
Everyone's magic is unusually boiling and manic, and it is easy to feel their strength through this exposed magic.
Most of them are between 2~5 spirals, and very few are 6 spirals.
Silently, he walked down the observation room and returned to the dining room.
"How?"
"An unknown ship, with about 70 people on board.
The few who are the leaders can't see it, but the strength of most of them is in the second stage, and the magic power is obviously exposed. ”
Arka told the crowd about some of the information he had seen, and in any case, it was something they couldn't afford to mess with.
"So what are you going to do now?" Shadetti looked at him and asked.
After all, they just said that if they want to stay on the island for a year, they will have to think about how to avoid contact with these outsiders.
Arka pondered for a while and then said, "The only safe place on the island at night is around the town. Or rather, to get back to sea and avoid going to the island at night. ”
"Then today we're going to walk around the island during the day, and mark all the places around the island where boats can be parked. Based on these markers, we then plan the route of our excavation. ”
Arka said his way.
Then he stopped hiding, took out the map, took out a thin piece of paper from Xia Daiti and laid it on it.
Pick up the pen and start dotting on it.
"These are all places that I have explored, there may be treasures, and the ruins on these points are all we will excavate later, so we will plan according to these points."
Jason tilted his head to look at the spots, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Our Lady is above, are there so many on this island?" ”
Arka dotted countless dots on this, and everyone was a little shocked.
"Yes, not all guarantees, but eight or nine are not far from ten."
"What treasure hunt construct?"
"It's outrageous, why doesn't Our Lady have mercy on me?"
They completely underestimated the treasure on this island, and it was no wonder that Arka was willing to stay on this island to improve his strength.
It's a two-pronged thing.
All kinds of complaints rang out, but it also meant that they agreed to the plan.
Piloting the sound of dawn, the group began to sail around the entire perimeter of the island, pulling the speed of the voyage to the highest speed.
And start keeping a record of every place where a ship can dock and where it can be safely docked.
Sure enough, drawing a map from an island is not the same as going around the sea from a circle.
After going around the boat in person, they knew which points were originally suitable for docking on the map, but there were many reefs below.
As a result, many points that they had previously thought might be able to stop were abandoned.
However, after going around in a circle, they finally found a good spot.
And began to connect the treasure locations that were pointed out by Arka according to these points, and planned the area for each time.
For maximum efficiency, take down these treasures.
"The question is, how can we make sure we don't run into those strangers while we're digging?" Simon looked at the map and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Arka had a smile on his face, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I naturally have a way." ”
"By the way, the first stop we are ready to go here, I have a hunch, there are big babies here."
As he spoke, Arka drew a small cross in the golden light.
"Big baby?" Hearing this description, Xia Daiti turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
For Alka, it's a big treasure thing, so it's basically something that can be equated with a treasure painting.
Arka understood what she meant, and nodded in confirmation of her thoughts.
……
Until the second day, the group stopped the boat at the northeast corner of the island, if there was a northeast direction.
This is the closest stop to the Golden Point.
"We'll get there when you're ready."
Everyone was ready, and under the leadership of Alka, they went to the golden point.
Soon I stepped around the spot.
Xia Daiti said quietly: "It seems that we are surrounded. ”
As his voice fell.
Brown fur wolves emerged from the grass, and these monsters looked exactly like wolves, but they were much larger than normal wolves.
And the hair seems to be shiny with oil.
Looking at these giant wolves emerging from behind and in front of them, the total number reached more than 20.
Surround them around.
Apparently they have taken them as prey.
And the ruins of the Great Temple, where the golden treasure was buried, were less than 800 meters away from them.
"They seem to be able to evade my detection, and even if they appear in front of us, they can't be traced." Xia Daiti said.
That's why she didn't warn in advance, and the wolves seemed to be patient.
It seems that they have long smelled their coming, and have set up an ambush on the way they may have passed.
Otherwise, they would not have entered the encirclement and found the traces of these wolves.
Obviously, the hunters of the second stage of difficulty were caused by these giant wolves, and they also came to the territory of this wolf pack.
Listening to Xia Daiti's words, Aka smiled instead.
This shows that this group of wolves must have materials that can evade detection and conceal their bodies.
This material Arka has been coveted for a long time.
"Don't do it, let me try."
Simon said suddenly, he wanted to try out the constructs he had just acquired.
Speaking of which, he didn't seem to have shown his force in front of Arka.
Although his data on paper is the strongest in the team.
In the past few nights, he has also modified and repaired these structures, which is exactly when it is time for actual combat.
And his strength has also reached the Seven Spirals, which belongs to the middle and upper levels, and with the help of the construct, he can be said to be a good team fighter.
When they heard this, they nodded, leaned in slightly, and leaned back to make room for him.
Although the wolves are stealthy and numerous, they don't pose much of a threat to them, and they are ready to admire Simon's methods.
Since Arkati had already said today that they might be in danger, Simon's outfit was not unarmed.
The most conspicuous thing was the backpack on his back, which hung almost from his back all the way to his waist, as if he was carrying a huge suitcase.
There are also various bumps and pendants around the chest, and no one can read what they are except for the Arka .
With the sound of dripping.
The wolves did not attack rashly, but let out a low, gloomy roar, which made them even more vigilant.
Simon raised his right hand and snapped his index finger.
"Battle mode, locked, free fire."
As the three orders were issued, the four Sentinel patrol planes that had been floating above their heads immediately emitted a red light.
Four red rays swept out.
"Whew!"
The wolf's cry of pain rang out, and the two wolves were directly pierced through their heads by red rays. One horse was pierced through its hind legs and paralyzed directly to the ground. There was also a horse that was far away and difficult to dodge, but the fur on its body had already been spotted.
"Mao Duo weak fire." Looking at this scene, Arka suddenly said with a smile.
With the cries of pain and the attack of the patrol aircraft, the rest of the giant wolves immediately pounced on them and launched an attack.
Several huge ribbons flew out and spiraled around them, sweeping away all the giant wolves that pounced on them.
A soft song sounded, but a shrill sound could be heard from the song.
As the song surged, the magic dotted on Simon's body.
"Now that they're being taunted by you, they won't attack us if you don't die, go farther away."
Julia said with a smile after humming.
Those who didn't know about this thought they had abandoned Simon.
It was also to fulfill his thoughts.
The magic of pink and the rays of the sun fell to envelop the crowd.
In Simon's eyes, Arka and they disappeared directly in front of their eyes.
Arka's dream cloud can only make himself completely invisible, taking others with him, and becoming hazy at best.
It gives people a plausible touch and makes people a little trance.
But Shadetti has learned how to do optical stealth, working with clouds.
Although it can't completely disappear in the eyes of these giant wolves, it can at least reduce their desire to attack.
The combination of the two and Julia's taunt diverted the wolves' attention in an instant.
After all, you can't expect Warcraft to have a high IQ, they're just a little more powerful beasts.
Looking at the vanished crowd, Simon smiled.
"Thanks." As the words fell, flames erupted from the tail of the backpack, which was carried into the distance as he jumped.
The giant wolves that surrounded him immediately rushed towards Simon, and the speed was extremely fast.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it followed.
"So what kind of mockery is this, why haven't I seen you use it before?" Alka asked.
"It only works on animals, and now Simon is the enemy of nature."
Julia explained briefly.
Then the crowd looked at Simon's battle.
When Simon landed, the palm of his left hand turned into a slender blade.
Turn around and raise your arms, and stab upwards hard.
Hot wolf blood was sprinkled on his face, and by this time, Simon's face had already been covered with a metal mask.
One crouched, dodged the pounce of another wolf, rolled to the side and pulled out the blade by the way, and the moment he got up, he slashed away with the force of the pull.
directly cut off the body of a wolf, and the blood and internal organs slipped to the ground, and the smell of blood instantly spread.
Raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger.
The treasure's index finger was already wrapped in blue light, and the moment it was raised, a ray of light shot out.
Pierces the giant wolf that wants to sneak up from behind.
Four red rays shot around him, piercing through the two wolves and igniting more wolves.
As a result, these giant wolves had to roll on the ground and give up their attack on Simon.
The whole set of attacks is like a silky dance move.
Done in the blink of an eye.
As there were more gaps around Simon, more wolves attacked him.
The backpack sent a visible concussion, pushing the air away the giant wolf that pounced on it.
Another jet sent him into the air, followed by a throwing spear in his left hand.
It was the two they had brought out of the arsenal before, but he had modified and shortened them.
Throw it hard, and another one will appear in his hand, and the same will be projected by him.
The two spears were one behind the other, and they went straight for the head wolf who was standing in the distance and giving orders.
It doesn't look different from the giant wolves around him, but he keeps out of the pack, and each roar changes the pack's attacks.
Simon had been keenly aware of this and concluded that he was the head wolf of the pack.
The backpack's jet has a certain time limit, and can only perform a short levitation in addition to taking him on a farther jump.
With the throwing of the two throwing spears, the time to float in the air has arrived, and the moment it fell, three balls fell from the bottom of the backpack.
One of the patrol planes flew behind him and popped a hook around his back, hooking his backpack and throwing him in the direction of the wolf.
A gust of wind struck, knocking Simon down in the air like a hammer and flying to the side.
Simon, who fell to the ground, did not wait on the spot, but quickly rolled to the side.
A hint of fishy stench and heat could be smelled passing past his ears.
It was the wolf's gaping mouth, and it appeared in an instant where Simon had landed, where it had deliberately struck with its wind hammer.
This wolf is smart.
Roll and dodge and immediately stood up, and the wolf had already appeared at the spot where he had just landed, and was roaring at him with its mouth open.
If he hadn't dodged, he would have been injured by now.
Several wind blades flew in, slashing through the trees behind them.
It also broke through the corner of Simon's mask in an instant.
"I'm underestimating you, brute."
Simon touched the blood on his cheek.
"Whew!"
The giant wolf that was still alive around Arka before the roar was about to surround him.
Explosions rang out.
The three balls that Simon had dropped in the air exploded, and a large amount of flames erupted.
It's about the same as the cross flame in Alka.
Engulfed the giant wolves around them, setting fire to their fur.
Dozens of giant wolves began to roll on the ground.
The other wolves were already frightened and seemed no longer willing to fight Simon.
Such a price made the head wolf also ready to turn around and flee.
However, as soon as it turned around, it saw that four sentries were already aimed at it.
"Now, I'm the one who surrounds you, hahaha."
Behind him came Simon's laughter.
