As soon as you enter this green belt, the surrounding environment becomes even more cold and damp.

The trees grew unusually strangely, with extremely thin trunks that looked like several thick vines spiraling upward.

A very clear depression can be seen in the trunk of the tree, with several strands extending upwards.

However, the canopy is large and dense, and the branches of the tree are intertwined with each other.

As a result, the entire strip of land is almost tightly covered.

It was night for them, and as soon as they entered, the stars in the sky were completely invisible.

See such a situation.

Arka said directly: "Let them come back, today we will rest on the periphery, and tomorrow we will pass through the place." ”

After all, it only takes two or three hours to cross the area, and you don't have to go through it at night, when it's more dangerous.

Night is the favorite time of all dangerous creatures.

Hearing Arka's words, Lucilia nodded.

Through their internal network, the puppet girl who went out to explore the surroundings was called.

Now that he had decided to rest here, he tied the Swift to a tree.

Simon attached the connecting thrusters behind the Feiyan between several trees, and then extended them.

An improvised habitat is complete.

It's a little crowded, but with the boats next to it and a better marine trio that can rest comfortably in the water, everything seems just right.

After making a simple arrangement and assigning the guarded personnel, everyone leaned on each other and fell asleep.

In the woods, it is no longer as quiet as it is at night elsewhere, with the faint chirping of insects and the sound of some fish swimming in the water.

It went into the night.

Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Lucilia, who had just woken up and continued to be on guard, looked at the book in her hand through the only light, faint illuminating stone.

Next to her, there are several puppet girls on guard.

"There's movement."

Lucilia's mind suddenly remembered this sentence.

Hearing this, Lucilia continued to read the book in her hand as if nothing had happened. It took more than a dozen seconds to slowly close the book, and then snuff out the lighting stone.

The moment it was extinguished, the figure immediately disappeared into the shadows.

I only heard a slight wind blowing.

Lucilia had already arrived at the puppet girl who had sent her the message.

And the movement he was talking about was down there.

Several black figures were hidden by the moonlight, and the lights just gone out made them a little vigilant, and now they were hiding quietly in the water, only their heads were emerging from the water.

Not human.

Lucilia had seen through her dark vision what the creatures in the shadows were.

Although the color of the skin is not clear, these creatures are more like fish-people. It's just that the body size is a little too small, and the legs may only be about a meter, and the back is slumped.

It's not that they want to be vigilant, it's that they seem to look like this.

Reef Fishman.

Soon, Lucilia found the origin of these fish-men in the knowledge in her mind.

Smooth and sticky skin, the smallest body in the fish-man race, with a hunched back and thin hands and feet.

A huge mouth with two rows of sharp teeth and the most striking feature.

Two huge eyeballs on the top of the head.

That's their only specialistic, and it gives them a wider range of vision. Among the fish-people who have a very special racial difference, and it is obvious that the vision range is also the top of the group.

But this is the only one that can be used.

Although she doesn't wear the glasses that can detect now, she can still add her own knowledge based on her feelings and experience.

The strength of these fish-people is not too strong.

There must not even be three phases.

3 in total.

In his hand, he still held a spear made from sharpened branches, and the weapon looked very inferior.

It's not even a weapon.

However, since it was a fish-man, Lucilia thought about it and did not rashly attack.

Instead, the puppet girls were vigilant, and their figures disappeared from the branches.

In a few seconds, he returned to the resting place and gently woke everyone up.

Specially patted Pololo.

"It's a bunch of reef fishmen."

"Those nasty ghosts?" Hearing the name Reef Fishman, Poloro's expression was slightly annoyed.

Apparently he didn't seem to like the fish-man branch of the same race, which was very different in size from him.

"Forget it, I'll take a look."

After Bororo finished speaking, he slipped directly into the sea from the side.

The huge size did not set off the slightest movement and waves.

Swim fast under the water like a silent hunter.

Soon I saw the group of reef fishmen who were sneaking up and starting to move again.

Seeing that there were only three of them, Bororo was no longer hiding, and he suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water in front of them.

"What do you little things want to do?"

"Ahh

The sudden appearance of Bororo startled the reef fishmen, and one of them shouted in fright.

The two companions next to him immediately reached out and covered his mouth violently.

Then he looked up at the tall Bororo.

After seeing that he was also a fish-man, he nodded with a light smile, and then pointed in the direction where Alka's man was.

"There, humans, good food, steal."

After speaking, he stretched out his hands and bent his waist lower and arched.

It means that Bororo goes first.

"Alas, even in the Infinite Sea, it still hasn't changed their dumbfounded appearance." Poloro muttered helplessly to himself.

"They're my companions, go away."

As soon as he said this, he said.

The Sanmingmen immediately froze in place, a look of surprise evident on their faces that were so different from their humans.

He nodded quickly, immediately completely submerged in the water, and quickly left here.

After sending these little fishmen who wanted to steal things away, Bororo reluctantly walked back.

Lucilia fell from the branch and stood on Pololo's shoulder.

"They...... Is it really your compatriots? ”

After all, the performance of the three fishmen made Lucilia stunned.

It's so obvious that they still want Pololo to steal with them.

Although they communicate with each other in the language of the fish-people, Lucilia understands it perfectly.

Poloro nodded helplessly: "Although it is very reluctant, it should be counted."

A bunch of guys who can't even speak fish-man language. ”

As he spoke, he sighed as well.

It didn't take them a few steps before they returned to where the people of Arka were.

"How's that, has it been solved?"

"Sent away, a group of thieves want to steal something."

"Since it's your compatriot, won't you invite me over to get to know you?" Jason asked strangely beside him.

Hearing this, Bororo turned his head and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Would you invite a human who wants to steal from you?"

"Uh...... All right. ”

Since everyone was awake, they were in no mood to continue sleeping, and they were almost asleep when they looked at the time.

Rest, rest, wait for dawn to continue the action.

"So what were those fishmen like?" Jason asked.

Lucilia replied, "A couple of reef fishmen. ”

"Reef Fishman?" Jason was a little weird.

I've never heard of any kind of fish called reef.

The way the branches of the fish-man race are named is simple and straightforward.

For example, sharks are shark people, and of course there are many types of sharks.

Of course, not every species has a corresponding fish-man.

Octopus Fish Man, Tiger Fish Man, Swordfish Fish Man.

Just by listening to the names, you can probably understand what these fish-people look like.

"Reef fishmen are so called because they generally live on the reef on the shore.

There are no fish that look like them, thin and small, and they are the bottom of the fish-people. And it seems that the general intelligence is not very good. ”

Lucilia told her general knowledge of the information, which was a combination of information she had seen from books.

After seeing the real thing today, she found that it was indeed not much different from what she saw in the book.

Poloro nodded: "That's right, they are basically the most numerous species of fishmen, except for the color, they are all about the same."

It's really hard to use the brain, probably somewhere between a beast and an intelligent life. ”

"There's no reef here."

"You don't have to live on a reef, it's cold and damp, but it's just right for a fish-man.

With so many trees, there should be more abundant small fish under the water, and it is completely enough to feed a small population. ”

The crowd chatted until the curtain of the sky was torn open.

Pack up and move on.

At this point, the thrusters in the back were dismantled by Simon. The area is too large to move in this kind of wood.

After all, even a slender ship like the Feiyan had to find a spacious place to move in such a place.

The sails had long since been put away, and the masts had been folded.

Due to the Feiyan pilot, although these trees have thin branches, they are still somewhat in the way.

After going around for a while, I finally got about to get out.

Even during the day, it is very dark.

Only beams of light poured down from between the gaps in the leaves.

Bororo swam beside the Swift. Looking not far away, he looked at them vigilantly, and shook his head helplessly.

"They don't think they're hiding well, do they?" Jason couldn't help but ask.

"Don't wonder, that's it."

Bororo held his forehead, very helpless.

"Well, let's go, let's go."

Not far away, two fishmen hid under a tree stump and showed their heads, as if they thought they were well hidden. Watching Arka warily as they left.

As for camouflage.

The fishermen had a slight green spot on their bodies, but the big tree they were leaning against was brown, and they were holding green leaves over their heads.

I didn't think that the leaves were very large, and they were more conspicuous when they moved around.

The Feiyan finally left the verdant green belt.

"Go this way, guide this way." Arka felt the direction of the direction.

Xia Daiti sat on the boat, constantly exuding silver ripples, probing the surrounding situation.

When you arrive in such an unfamiliar place, it is always okay to explore it, whether you want to draw a map or not.

The voyage didn't go far.

A thick rancid smell came through.

From the air drifted along the breeze to their nasal passages.

A corpse floated slowly in the direction they were from a distance.

Judging by the condition of the corpse, it has been dead for a long time. The foul smell made everyone frown and hold their breath.

Julia and Matresa jumped onto the boat as fast as they could.

"Go around." Arka couldn't help but say.

Xia Daiti took control of the Feiyan and circled around to avoid the direction of the corpse.

Disgusting though.

But Arka kept his eyes open, looking at the corpse not far away, and looked closely.

"Knife wounds, and hemp rope tied up on his body. I've been dead for two days, and I'm about to be eaten. ”

It is not easy for corpses to stink in such a place.

But the corpse was also approaching, and Arka could already see a large school of fish gnawing at the rotting and stinky flesh beneath the corpse.

In most places, the skeleton is revealed.

It won't be long before the stinking corpse is left with a skeleton.

"Be careful."

After saying that, everyone moved on.

It didn't take a few hours to move forward.

Simon saw a village in the water, this time a real village.

It just looks like it's small.

It's more like a humble manor on the water.

The walls of the village are formed by various branches and poles, and the entire village is built above sea level with this soft wood that resembles bamboo.

On the platform made of wooden poles and bamboo, thatched houses are built.

Simon looked from afar.

They were located just in time to see from the side what resembled the village gate.

Several corpses hung from the gate, swaying slightly in the breeze.

Not far away, there are several wooden poles stuck in the water, on which are hung various skulls.

From the inside out, this place shows people that he is not easy to mess with.

"This place stinks." Covering his nose, Bororo said as he climbed up from the water.

As the most sensitive sense of smell among the people, he can't stand it anymore.

The stench of the corpse just now would disappear, but the place kept smelling.

The waters of the place also looked a little dirty, and as they swam past the surface, schools of small fish swam around them.

And unlike the fish in other places, a large number of fish follow their boats.

"Are you used to eating?" Looking at this scene, Jason couldn't help but say.

The crystal dragon, who was sleeping on the rear thruster, rolled over and opened his eyes.

With the awakening of Ulullius.

The surrounding schools of fish immediately dispersed, and the surrounding area was emptied in an instant.

"Do you want to go over?"

"No, let's go around in a circle so as not to cause trouble."

Arka said.

This ghost place is obviously not very friendly, go around in a circle, more is better than less, they still have something to do.

I hope this doesn't seem very friendly, and I don't bother them.

"I think we want to avoid it, but they don't." Simon said floating in the sky.

The wooden fence gate of the village had been opened, and one slender paddle boat after another had rowed out at a rapid pace, rushing towards their position.

The people on the boat were all sitting. But looking at the hideous expressions of these people, as well as the horizontal flesh on their faces, the various scars and tattoos on their bodies reveal their attitudes.

Simon looked through glasses.

"Not really, it's just a three-stage one. Some are too weak. ”

"Let the puppet army move." Arka said directly.

It just so happens that there are more enemies than they are, and the puppet army is just right.

Lucilia nodded, and the whole person retreated into the shadows.

The puppet girl, who had been playing around the ship and thrusters, heard Arka's words and immediately moved.

They now seem to be accustomed to the previous squads formed between the fragrances, and they still start with the previous squads.

"Boss, there's something coming."

A man with a rudimentary telescope in the bow of the boat turned to the strong man behind him.

"Something, what the is there? Sent to death? ”

However, before he could reply, the man holding the telescope in front of him suddenly stayed in place.

Blood poured out of his mouth.

His eyes were blood-red, then tarnished.

"Uh...... Yes,"

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground. A bright bloody hole appeared in the back of his head, and a thick, white and bloodshot fluid was pouring out of it.

Seeing such a situation, a thin layer of energy shield immediately put on the strong man's body.

At the same time as the shield appeared, he had already picked up a weapon in his hand. A short knife for sailors with long arms.

Very vigilantly looking around.

He had just not seen the enemy.

"Ahh

Screams from the surrounding boats.

A girl about 40 centimeters in size, wearing soft armor, rammed into the back of a thug.

Knock it down, and the bloody blade in his bent hand slashes straight down.

The head slid down, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

The doll girl bathed in blood didn't care.

"Hmph, die!"

As he spoke, he stepped on the corpse and quickly rushed to the next one.

"Ahh Don't come here! ”

"Monsters, these are monsters."

Some slipped into the water in terror and tried to escape.

With the sound of falling water, some of the puppet girls rushed directly into the water.

"Spare my life, spare my life!"

In the face of all kinds of begs for mercy, the puppet girls laughed and did not answer.

Still wielding the blade in his hand, without mercy.

Among them, the strongest one who has attained the three-stage consummation, known as the strong man of the boss, maintains the shield to the death.

Sweating profusely, he looked around vigilantly.

He knew he had met stubble this time.

Why does such a powerful person have to sit in such a small boat, isn't it good to ride in a carriage at sea?

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

A scarlet spike had pierced through his neck.

Bloodshot eyes, and a stiff head, trying to turn their heads back.

The bloody blade slipped.

The blood-colored trail slid down with the blood.

There was no luster in the bloodshot pupils.

Until he died, he didn't see who killed him.

Yi put away the dagger and disappeared into the shadows once more.

The killing of the puppet girl is unusually efficient.
