Chapter 251 - Temporary Control Order
On September 7, the poisonous gas fog barrier on Devil's Island had gradually dissipated, and finally the outline of Devil's Island appeared, and the people who were waiting on the surrounding islands of the major forces had begun to move, preparing to go out near Devil's Island.
On September 8, the poisonous barrier fog on Devil's Island finally dissipated. A battalion of the 2nd Western Army Corps, which had been swimming in the nearby sea, sent a regiment of 2,000 sergeants and the first vanguard to the island to investigate the situation on the island.
The personnel of the various forces who received this news also set off from their respective stations in full swing and headed for Devil's Island, and Duke also came out, and he did not take a boat, but flew straight to Devil's Island with the Thorn Crowned Bird.
Angus Island is hundreds of nautical miles away from Devil's Island, and it can be reached in half a day at the degree of the Thorn Crowned Bird. Originally, Duke had made an appointment with the two brothers, Olly Porter and Nick Hansen, to team up to enter Devil's Island together this time. However, on the morning of the 8th, just as the Olibert brothers were about to leave, they received an order from the military to urgently gather in the barracks, saying that they had a special mission.
Orly Porter and Nick Hansen were helpless, but the military order was like a mountain, and even though the two were a little unwilling, they had to report to the barracks immediately. So, Duke had to go on his own.
Whether the Olly Porter brothers go or not, Duke can't miss this expedition. Moreover, Duke also knew that there was a time limit for the opening of the maze on Devil's Island, and it must be reached on September 9, otherwise, if this time is missed, the passage of the maze will be closed, and then it will be impossible to enter the core of Devil's Island.
Therefore, Duke did not dare to hesitate.
The place agreed with Jarvis was on a reef near Devil's Island called Gulangyu Island, and from the crystal ball that Jarvis gave to Duke that day, it was known that that place was the entrance to the maze of Devil's Island.
However, when Duke came out, he didn't know that at this moment, the Western Legion issued a heavy message, that is, a temporary control order.
Due to the fact that after the vanguard troops landed on the island, a large number of sea monsters gathered on the island, making the already extremely dangerous Devil's Island a world of monsters.
In order to clear these demonic beasts, clear the obstacles for the next expedition team, and avoid unnecessary casualties, the Second Western Legion issued an order from the acting corps commander Mitheus after an emergency military meeting: temporarily control Devil's Island, and no one is allowed to approach for two days.
This news immediately caused an uproar among all forces.
However, the Second Army Corps in the West was relatively strong this time, and there was no room for maneuver at all. Moreover, the military's departure point is to sweep away the large number of sea demonic beasts gathered on Devil's Island, and for the safety of the next expedition teams, and the reason is completely for the good of everyone.
Not only that, but the Western Legion has also made a promise that it will go all out to clear all the demonic beasts on the gathering island within two days, and will never delay the time for all forces to enter the Devil's Island for exploration.
Although the personnel of all parties were still a little dissatisfied with this order, they had been waiting for several months, and everyone didn't care about waiting for two more days. Therefore, the teams of all forces, after a period of noisy, gradually calmed down, and only waited for the Western Second Army to organize forces to clean up the demonic beasts on the island.
Duke didn't know this, the control order was issued after he came out, and at this moment, he had flown to Gulangyu Island on the Thorn Crowned Bird. Gulangyu Island is a reef group composed of a reef, about ten nautical miles away from Devil's Island, because of the reefs nearby, there are no sea ships passing by, so it is particularly remote.
When Duke arrived at Gulangyu, Yalvis was already waiting there, with the other four members of his brilliant team. Duke had never dealt with Yalvis before, and he wasn't very familiar with the members of the brilliant team he was carrying. Although they all look familiar, I don't know what the names of the other people are.
However, seeing this team, Duke was also a little surprised in his heart.
Today's team is a little different from a few months ago, all the members of the team have broken through to the level of Titled Magician or Titled Swordsman. Obviously, for this expedition, Yalvis also spent a lot of money on his teammates, and he forcibly raised the strength of his team members to a higher level.
In the team, Yalvis's cultivation was still the highest, and he had even broken through to the level of a second-level magister, one level higher than the rest of the team. Not only that, but there is also a member of the dragon clan in the team of Jarvis, who is a young dragon of the water system and a female blue dragon.
This time, Yalvis and the others flew directly on her back, listening to Yalvis's introduction, this member of the dragon clan is called Maya. Of course, Duke doesn't care about the strength of Yalvis's team.
On that day, Duke had fought fiercely with a group of dwarven traitors such as Mirosi and Temuda, and their cultivation had reached the highest level of the Title of Six, which was much stronger than that of Jarvis. Seeing Jarvis' team, Duke felt a little more relieved.
If Jarvis had only taken these people with him, he would have had some bad intentions, and they would be the ones who would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Duke, you're finally here!"
Seeing Duke, Jarvis smiled happily and pointed to the surrounding reefs, "We came a step earlier, we have already explored the surroundings, and you should also familiarize yourself with the environment here." ”
Jarvis was not polite, and went directly to the topic, the maze array in the crystal ball is very detailed, and there are clear signs for the sea areas near Devil's Island, and there is a special sign in Gulangyu Island. It's just that the maze diagram in the crystal ball can't show the route to guò yet.
According to Jarvis, only when the time is up, the maze array diagram in this crystal ball will automatically reveal the route to guò, and when the time comes, you can enter it according to the array diagram. Duke naturally didn't dare to be careless, carefully checked the surrounding environment, and silently memorized it against the array diagram on the crystal ball.
The exploration of Devil's Island is a completely unfamiliar place, and even the geography of the sea is completely different from the Big 6, and it is also a new test for Duke. Now do your homework, and you will have fewer obstacles and more certainty about the problems encountered in the next expedition.
The sky gradually darkened, and since Gulangyu was still about ten nautical miles away from Devil's Island, there were no sergeants stationed here. Occasionally, military ships and air patrol sergeants passed by in the distance, and they didn't notice that there were so many people hiding in the reef, and Duke and Jarvis had no one to bother.
When the sky was completely dark, the six of them ate a delicious meal of grilled fish on the reef, and each found a place to rest, waiting for the arrival of the ninth day of the ninth month of September.
Duke sat cross-legged on a rock, the sound of the tide in his ears, and in the distance there was a mournful howl like a ghost crying wolf, but it was the strange sound of the sea breeze on Devil's Island passing through those caves in the distance.
Duke's mood was not calm.
Yiqiē seemed to be very smooth, but Duke still had a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't grasp where this uneasiness came from, and there was no trace of it. This made Duke vigilant. was secretly pondering, at this time, suddenly there was a rumbling sound in my ears.
"The tide is low, the tide is low!"
Jarvis stood up abruptly, his eyes were blazing, and he looked up at the sky, but his expression became indescribably excited in an instant, "September 9, Libra You!"
At this moment, the moon has risen to the middle of the sky, and the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month has finally arrived. Maya and the others all stood up, their eyes fixed on Jarvis's hand.
"Buzz!"
A cloud of dazzling light exploded, and the crystal ball in Jarvis's hand suddenly lit up, and under the cover of the moonlight, it shot out a blurry light. Duke looked at the light and stared at the crystal ball in his hand without blinking.
At this moment, the crystal ball in Jarvis's hand was also hot, and it gradually flickered with a hazy light.
The next moment, two pillars of light burst into flames, and the two crystal balls in the hands of Jarvis and Duke burst out with two dazzling lights, and an extremely strange image appeared in front of everyone.
I saw that the light and shadow changed, the dazzling colors blurred, illuminating the surroundings in a hazy light, and the reefs exposed by the ebb tide at the feet were reflected one by one, forming a strange pattern.
"This should be it!"
Jarvis's finger pointed sharply at a reef not far away, and his expression became irrepressibly excited, the reef looked more than ten meters square, and the shape was like two closed doors together, which was originally sunk to the bottom of the water, but now because of the low tide, it has been completely revealed.
Not only that, but the reef is like two stone doors, each showing a hazy spot of light, the left is a palm-sized circle, and the right is a rectangle, which looks like the shadow of a book.
"Duke, this is the keyhole that unlocks this maze!"
Jarvis pointed to the two light classes on the reef, "Put the Heavenly Blessing Weighing Pan and the Heavenly Blessing Bible on it, and you can open the passage of the maze." ”
As he spoke, Yalvis pointed his finger, and the book he had been holding in his hand spun and flew out, and suddenly fell to the rectangular light class, which was tightly sealed, just covering the light class tightly.
Duke didn't hesitate, with a move of his hand, the staff also appeared in the air, flying towards the circular light class.
"Buzz!"
The golden plate on the staff landed on the light class. Suddenly, the golden plate and the Heavenly Blessing Bible shone brightly, but the whole reef shook with a bang.
"Click, click!"
There was a sudden muffled sound like thunder at the bottom of the sea, and countless reefs around rumbled and vibrate, and the huge reef suddenly sank, and a huge cave appeared in front of everyone.
