Chapter 308: Swamp Fishermen

The sound of dawn circled around the edge of the verdant swamp, unusually slow.

The crowd on the deck looked at the swamp not far away.

"How? Where did we land from? Jason asked.

The landing of this sea is completely different from that of ordinary islands.

They have to think before they act.

Arka raised his palm, and the map appeared in his hand. He opened the map and looked at the area of the Land of the Spirits.

Although the map is huge, it is similar to a world map. The subtle islands in the area are not labeled in great detail.

Fortunately, the map was made with the participation of the Church of Our Lady.

Therefore, in the area of the Land of Spirits, the information on the map is quite detailed, and the existence of islands in the safe area of this area is clearly marked with paintings.

Where are they and how much are they separated from each other?

The most ambiguous place is the boundary between life and death.

There was nothing there, only a few locations on the periphery were marked.

The Emerald Land is a little better than the border between life and death, but it's not much better.

The only people who still have a passion for exploring this sea are the explorers and scholars of the Holy Machine Church.

The high death toll in this area still scared too many people away.

Look at the islands of the Land of Spirits.

Since they came from the border of life and death, they can pinpoint the area they are in now.

At the junction, there is no doubt about it.

After looking at it, Arka clicked on the area where the island was clearly marked.

"Let's go here first."

Presumably, this island should be the closest to where they are now.

Shadetti was watching from the side, and nodded when he heard Arka's words.

Then Arka looked at the crowd and said, "We're ready to land, everyone is ready, this time there will be no one on board." ”

Zehai's range was too large, and once they penetrated inside, it would be difficult for the Voice of Dawn to support it.

The tangled vines restricted her movements, and the Sound of Dawn only had to surround the Celestial Ones, maintaining a certain speed to follow around Zehai.

In the direction closest to them.

Around the perimeter, at least it's safe, and you don't have to worry about any irreversible damage to the sound of dawn.

After all, it is a ghost ship with its own wisdom.

After Arka finished speaking, the group began to prepare.

Zehai is no bigger than other islands, and no matter how big the other islands are, they are not much bigger.

The area of Zehai can compete with the mainland, and they must bring enough supplies to avoid running out of food and the like due to unfamiliar terrain on the way.

The size of a pocket ring is limited.

Didn't prepare for long.

After about two hours, the sound of dawn slowly docked at the edge of Zehai.

After docking, you can clearly feel that Zehai is moving.

The hatch in the bow of the ship opened, and the Delphinium sailed out of it.

You can't move a big boat, and there is no problem with such a long boat.

Because it is a ship born of speed. The spell above will allow the entire ship to remain undrafted even with a certain load.

However, the range of ships is limited, and the puppet knights account for a large part.

There were also some supplies piled up on it, but not much, more of a disguise.

Shadetti sat in the bow of the boat, faint silver ripples from her position and deep into the water, exploring her surroundings through the bottom of the boat.

Pololo, Matrice, and Julia walked directly on the swamp.

Beneath the verdant vines, there was a faint green water that probably didn't go past their thighs.

Some areas are not very tolerant, and sometimes they sink deeper, even to the chest and abdomen.

In some shallower areas, the ships have to go around.

Because there is no calf at most.

Julia directly turned her legs back into fish tails.

This makes it not slower or more free for the three marine races to travel through the water.

It's easy to catch up with the Swift.

After all, this place is not a wide sea area, and the Feiyan cannot be allowed to sail at full speed.

Can only maintain a low speed, and under control to keep slightly faster than the speed of running.

In addition to Xia Deti, only Jason was on the ship, and Juan Lu and Arka were still on the ship.

Simon was riding in a construct he had just constructed, a large patrol aircraft.

There was just enough space for him to ride, so that he floated about seven or eight meters above the surface of the sea.

A flying platform that he built specifically for himself. However, the setting and some parts are not conceived very cleverly, resulting in a low altitude of flight.

However, in the case of possession of treasure control, he will get a breakthrough to the limit, so it is very practical for him personally.

There were also six sentry patrol planes floating above everyone's heads, alerting the surrounding situation and patrolling non-stop.

A brilliant streamer of light streaked across the sky, and the crystal dragon flew down, circling over everyone's heads.

From time to time, it flies down like an arrow, then glides over the water and climbs quickly.

At this time, the size of the crystal dragon has completely surpassed Jason, and it is still not counting the tail.

The body length has completely exceeded two meters.

With the tail and wide, shining crystal wings, it looks like a dragon has begun to take shape.

Now Xia Daiti is at the helm, guiding the direction of everyone's progress.

"This place is really like what everyone else says, if you really walk entirely on your legs, you can easily fall into a bottomless abyss."

Through the silver ripples, Xia Daiti can roughly accurately judge the surrounding terrain.

These vines may seem tough, but in many places, they have very fragile cavities.

If you walk over, you accidentally step on it.

It's like walking on land and stepping on a hole in a hole, and falling straight down.

Because of the special structure, it will also produce a suction force, and it will be dragged down by the vines and suction in an instant.

Listening to Xia Daiti's words, Julia next to her was shaking her fishtail in the water.

Because the sea water is clear, you can clearly see the fine scales on the tail of the fish under the sunlight, and the shimmering light shines through the seawater.

Julia flicked the water around her with her hand.

He said: "I can perceive these voids through some changes in the flow of water. The sea water above the cavity is not the same as the sea water above these vines and plants with high carrying capacity. ”

It's better to take a boat, a small boat can easily solve the inevitable danger to life.

It also makes their drive in the area more comfortable.

Jason leaned on the edge of the boat, constantly observing the situation below the water.

The clear view of the sea, the vines that are not deep from the sea, and the underwater clusters of various aquatic plants are clearly visible in the sunlight.

"Isn't there too much fish in this place?" Jason asked, turning to a few people.

In addition, in the gap between them and among the various aquatic plants, Arka saw many sea fish swimming comfortably in them.

It's a vibrant scene.

In particular, Julia is surrounded by a lot of sea fish, which protect her like guards.

She just reached out her hand and stroked the scales that surrounded the sea fish around her.

"These vines do make a nice breeding ground for the ocean, don't they." Julia said with a smile.

They're driving on it.

But after all, the speed is not much faster, even the Feiyan, which is known for its speed, is still not good.

Because they can't draught too deep, they also have to control some spells so that the bottom of the boat doesn't come into full contact with the aquatic plants and vines below.

This results in slower speeds.

"At the current speed, it would take us about 10 days and nights to get to the island."

Hearing this, it is still within the range of what everyone can accept.

It's just that this way forward is a little new.

……

"There is a situation, be careful."

Simon, who spent most of his time in the air, suddenly said in a loud voice.

The Sentinel Patrol Plane in the sky around him spotted movement in the distance.

Hearing this reminder, the people below immediately became vigilant.

"Commander, do you need us to investigate?"

Jiu, flapping with wings like a dragonfly, asked, standing next to Lucilia.

The pedal that can fly quickly is a good spot for reconnaissance in such a situation.

Hearing this, Arka next to him shook his head.

"No, the efficiency of Simon's construct reconnaissance in this environment is sufficient."

Doll girls with small size and subjective initiative and unusually flexible,And then there is a situation where the line of sight is blocked.。

is the best scout player.

With the endless surface of the Zehai Sea, a patrol aircraft capable of flying directly and quickly at high altitude is obviously the best choice.

The main thing is that the planes that are released are pure reconnaissance construction...... Well, cheap.

I don't feel sorry for the loss.

"It's a humanoid, about 5 kilometers away from us at 2:00, and it's a little blurry at a distance.

He was in a small boat, and he was moving slowly in our direction. ”

Simon uses the construct to remotely scout, reporting to the crowd.

In order to avoid startling the snake, she did not move the structure closer, and just observed it from a relatively safe range.

Arka raised his right hand slightly and snapped his fingers slightly.

The pink mist spreads out, diluted and melts into the air.

However, the people in the same place did not notice any other changes.

Xia Daiti looked at it when he raised himself, and finally thought of something, and asked, "You made us invisible?" ”

Arka nodded.

Although at this stage, Xia Daiti is also able to make everyone invisible by controlling the light.

But there are still too many flaws in this way.

The invisibility formed through the pink clouds of dreams is even more deceptive, capable of deceiving the senses to a certain extent.

As they stay put.

Simon also lifted the Scout Construct in the sky higher and hid it.

It didn't take a while.

The man on the small continent drove slowly in their direction.

It was supposed to be a humanoid creature wearing clothes that looked good.

Under the sunlight, the clothes still shimmer, as if they could reflect the light.

The clothing was more close-fitting, and judging by the wrinkled scars on the exposed arms, it seemed to be an old man.

The complexion looks a little strange, giving it a grayish-greenish-gray-green feeling.

The boat he rode in was also very small, probably only about two people.

He sat on the bow of the boat, holding a long fishing rod-like thing in his hand, and waved it gently.

He could be seen around him, and the water was undulating.

"It's a fish...... There are a lot of fish around him, and they are of the same species. ”

Julia, who had already sensed something, said.

Hearing this, the crowd looked at the past and observed.

This man gives the impression that he is ...... Herding fish.

If it was fishing or fishing, his boat would not be clean, and there would be no fishing utensils.

Arka silently put on a pair of glasses and looked at it.

Look at the magic beside the old man.

"The strength is not strong, probably in the second stage."

"Do you want to make contact?" Xia Daiti asked softly.

Hearing this, Arka nodded: "Go and touch it." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand slightly, and the pink weapons that appeared in the air slowly converged and returned to the palm of Alka's hand.

The crowd also showed their figures.

The moment they saw everyone suddenly appear, the old man who was not far in front of them was obviously startled.

"Huh...... Yes! ”

The already small canoe began to tilt under his violent and sudden shaking.

The level of fright caused him to fall directly into the water, and the sudden movement frightened the dense swimming fish around him.

The entire sea began to fluctuate violently.

You can see countless fish jumping from under the sea.

He hurriedly stood up, due to his height, he only showed his upper body, picked up the long pole in his hand and waved it quickly.

The fish below immediately subsided with his swing.

The peculiar clothes on the body reflect a more obvious luster after the water droplets are stained.

Water droplets slid down his clothes.

It's some kind of waterproof clothing material.

It wasn't until the fish had completely subsided that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He shifted his body slightly, revealing part of his body behind the boat, and looked at Arka and the others.

"Who are you? How did it suddenly appear here. ”

He spoke in a strange tone, but Arka understood what he said.

Because in the earliest days, Lucilia spoke like this, which can be regarded as Lucilia's native language.

A lingua franca derived from the sea of living beings.

The people on the ship may not speak any other language, but the lingua franca of the four seas and the language of the white crocodile, which is used to portray hidden information, is the language that the people on the ship must learn.

So when the man spoke, the people understood.

"Julia, go talk to it."

Hearing Arka's words, Julia nodded.

The language used by this person is the lingua franca of the sea of living beings, so there must be a certain connection with that sea area.

This place is so full of life, I must say that this place has nothing to do with life, and no one will believe it.

Shaking the fishtail, Julia swam slowly.

At the same time, he opened his hands slightly, raised them and shook them, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon and had no malicious intentions.

He whispered, "We didn't mean anything, we just bumped into this area while sailing at sea."

Some curiosity to take a look. ”

Such situations are not uncommon.

Hearing this, the old man in front of him obviously believed it, and gradually relaxed his vigilance and stood up slightly.

The moment he fully stood up, his eyes widened as if he had seen something terribly terrifying.

Pointing at Julia, trembling and frightened.

"You...... You are human, mermaid. ”

As he spoke, they gradually turned from horror to anger, and in this mixed mood, he clenched the rod-like thing in his hand.

to Julia.

Then he rushed towards Julia as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing this obviously attacking action, the people in the rear were ready to make a move.

Arka raised his hand slightly, stopping the crowd from moving.

"I'll come, don't worry."

As he spoke, he jumped off the boat. With a leap, he jumped right next to Julia, then reached out and spread his five fingers at the rushing man.

Pink clouds peeked out from his fingers, quickly encircling his ears and around his head.

The original anger and panic were immediately relieved, and he stood in place a little confused.

Arka quickly turned to Julia and said, "Put away the fishtail." ”

Julia nodded, and the fishtail turned into a pair of white slender legs and stood in the water.

Arka controlled the clouds and mist, muttering incessantly in the old man's ear.

"It's all a dream...... It's all a dream, everything was fake just now, it's just a nightmare......"

The pink cloud swirled around and dragged it back behind the ship, reverting to its original posture and movement.

Eventually, Arka immediately returned to his original position.

With a slight hand, the pink cloud that had been wrapped around the enemy's head disappeared immediately.

The old man, who was originally a little confused, quickly regained clarity in his eyes, and looked at the surrounding situation with a little doubt.

Without leaving a trace, he rubbed his head and looked at everyone.

Then he stood up slightly.

Before Julia could speak, Arka walked out of the water.

"Don't worry, I'm from the Church of Our Lady."

After speaking, he raised his right hand slightly, and a faint ball of holy light appeared in his palm, swaying out the white light.

This is a simple spell of the Church of Our Lady, in addition to being able to dispel the surrounding evil, only the attribute of lighting remains.

With the appearance of this scene, everyone could clearly see that the old man had changed from vigilance to relaxation.

Rolled over into his own boat.

"It turned out to be the people of the Church of Our Lady, and you were swept into the sea?"

"Yes, but this time I happened to be curious about this area, so I was ready to come up and have a look and increase my knowledge."

Hearing this, the old man nodded, smiled and waved the fishing rod in his hand.

The ship moved slowly.

"It's not very safe here, come with me, I'll take you to the village."

Everyone was separated from each other, and at Arka's signal, they followed.
