Chapter 227: Silver eats people, kills pigs
The breeze surrounds the body, fluttering like falling feathers.
Two sturdy figures leap hand in hand through the rainforest, rocks, streams, and canyons.
In the middle of an endless layered rainforest.
They stepped on the blades of grass on the ground and the shrubs on the shrub layer by layer.
The young branches of the young trees, the branches of the canopy, and the tall exposed layers of the trees suddenly opened up in front of them, leaving only a vast sea of trees swaying in the wind.
From time to time, three or five roast chickens and seven or eight roast geese fly overhead, and the scenery is picturesque.
"Pay attention to the rhythm of my breathing.
Breath is the anchor of our consciousness and the key to open the flow, when the wind and waves gradually rise, as long as the anchor is still there, the boat will not drift away.
No matter what distractions try to blow your mind up, keep a firm grip on your breath and nothing will go wrong.
You are not a swordsman class that is often on the verge of death, the foundation is too weak, and you have to work harder.
When I was teaching Catherine, it only took her two hours to break through. ”
Byron took Violet's hand and walked in the wind, not forgetting to teach the girl the essence of flow in a "heart-to-heart" way.
The latter has long been aware of the necessity of the [Ladder of Glory] being compatible with forbidden knowledge and maintaining the balance between divinity and beastliness.
Flow is a power that even the [Spell Breaking Stone] can't restrict, and it is the most fundamental transcendent power that belongs to every human being.
Whether you master it or not, the degree to which you apply your strength varies greatly.
Especially in the forbidden areas that are very common in various treasure places, when all skills, witchcraft, and even strange things are ineffective, flow is their only reliance.
Violet is naturally very serious.
Wisps of white gas swung between the mouths and noses of the two, and the frequency gradually approached, and even connected.
In this state, even the aura of the [Storm Child] naturally spread to Violet's body.
Let Byron take a person not only effortlessly, but also easily borrow from a third-order transcendent.
Before coming to the Bantaan Islands, Byron promised to teach her by hand.
It's just that the craftsman is not a real combat profession after all, and although Violet is already a master craftsman, the forbidden knowledge has also reached the threshold of the second ritual.
The progress on the "flow" side is not as good as that of Bruch at the beginning.
Byron coughed with his mouth, he had been teaching him by hand for so long, and he was still close to the door.
The two of them maintain a state of flow for a while, rest when they are tired, and continue to practice when they have rested enough.
Running like a fly through the rainforest, you'll find a tree or two covered with silver coins every now and then.
If it weren't for the weird rules that inadvertently cost people lives, everything here would be too good.
Half a day later, Byron leaned on the canopy of a large tree and drank a glass of [Bloody Eagle Eye] made with eagle's blood and gin.
Standing high and looking far away, you can easily see the small half of the rainforest on this side of their landing.
At this time, there was a treasure hunt team that was left behind, and it was still landing.
And the total number is as high as thousands, and the adventurers who have landed on the island from all over the world share the huge pressure for them.
There are enough "prey" on the island, and Byron and Violet's goals are small enough to strictly follow the rules and ignore the "treasures" along the way.
Coupled with the help of the [Polaris God] and the Nugget Rat, they didn't encounter too difficult enemies.
On the other hand, every time you pass a difficult level that guards the treasure of the great pirate Flint, the progress of the "Pirate Chest" increases, and Byron's spirituality becomes more lively.
The closer he gets to the treasure cave in the middle of the island, the stronger he becomes.
At this moment, Violet suddenly pointed to the side ahead, and a river in the forest whispered:
"Byron, look, there's already someone planning to return."
The tortoiseshell glasses on the girl's face shimmered, and the constant eagle eye was no worse than Byron's blood brew.
Byron looked in the direction of her finger.
There was a team of fierce treasure hunters by the river.
Because of the search for the Albatross expedition ship, many lone rangers or teams with full mobility came to front of them.
This team is one of them.
They don't seem to be of high rank, but they obviously have a lot of experience in expeditions, and they also took a group of mules and horses to the island during the treasure hunt.
After shaking off the silver coins that had grown on several large trees by the river, the sacks of silver that were already loaded with silver began to retreat.
Both the humans in the team and the mules and horses were almost bent over by the sacks full of sacks on their backs, but their faces were full of joy.
Even the leader is still complacent about his decision not to be greedy or indisputable.
"Go and rob the pirates' treasures.
We will be content and happy when we see good, but we will not play with you. ”
However, just as they took the first step to turn back, the silver coins on the backs of the entire team quietly melted between breaths.
"Ahhh
This was followed by a large and terrible scream.
The melted silver seeped into their bodies like water, completely melting away their flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.
Then he continued downward, burrowing into the dirt and disappearing.
Only the white calcareous bones remained frozen in place, and when the wind blew, they scattered into a sky of bone meal and disappeared completely.
There is no trace of their existence in the world again.
A convulsion ended in just a breath.
A few scouts who heard the screams rushed from several other directions in the jungle, and turned around and found nothing.
Alerting each other again, they retreated back into the rainforest.
The bloody and tragic scene was in front of them, Byron and Violet looked at each other and shivered in unison.
Silver eats people!
This is the power of the rules, and once violated, even high-level transcendents will be hard to resist.
"There is no doubt about the authenticity of rule two's blood turning into gold.
It's not blood turning into gold, but the raw material of the magic of turning stones into alchemy, I'm afraid it's human flesh and blood!
Most of the treasure hunters who come in pursuit of the great pirate treasure have become or will soon become part of the island's treasure.
Over time, the more people are left on Treasure Island, the more gold and silver treasures will naturally be on the island. ”
There is a guess that Byron did not utter.
Ever since he realized that there was a "stone into alchemy" on the island, which could turn blood into gold, he had a familiar sense of déjà vu.
That feeling of familiarity doesn't come from something else.
It was also brewed in his hands from the existence of human beings, which is full of infinite possibilities - [Blood of Transmutation]!
It is also the blood of transformation and replacement, symbolizing the eternal thing in this world, that is, "change".
Long before he officially entered the sect of the Swarm, this veteran dark wizard of the Blood Thirst Order told everyone:
"The ultimate form of transmutation blood is the red potion that can achieve immortality, the all-purpose elixir Azoth (Chapter 123)."
Look at the food, wine, gold and silver on this island that have also been made possible by material changes
Byron has every reason to suspect that the forbidden knowledge on which Treasure Island rests is most likely a variant branch of the [Blood of Transmutation], which is more inclined to material change.
If it were to be described by Violet's knowledge system as a craftsman, it might be called: a stone from heaven, a philosopher's stone, a raw material of gold and silver, and even a philosopher's stone!
As soon as Byron thought of it, the density of solving the mystery of wealth growth rose from 45% to 58%.
The solution density finally exceeded half.
Violet, who had shared all the information with Byron, thought of another aspect, and pondered and speculated:
"If you look at the geography of the island, you can see that the island should have been in existence for a long time.
It was only with the discovery of the treasure map of the great pirate Flint that it became widely known in the hands of the major powers, earning the name of Treasure Island.
Many outsiders came for the pirate's hidden treasure, but they were eaten by this evil island in a daze.
Add to that the bizarre behavior of the macaw you mentioned who calls himself First Officer Thomas.
It's probably much more than just a natural safe used by pirates. ”
Being reminded by her of this, Byron also felt that this was indeed the case.
The great pirate Flint kept his treasure on Treasure Island with a secure safe at best, but he himself had to follow the same rules every time he landed on the island.
If you're not careful, you could die on the island as well.
This kind of YY story, the way in which the boss woke up from the bed of 800 meters, got lost in the cloakroom, and starved to death in his own vault is a little ridiculous.
There are people who do the business of killing heads, but no one does what the risks outweigh the benefits.
On the contrary, this secret realm can continue to produce immeasurable "philosopher's stones" with the help of a steady stream of outsiders.
In particular, Andrew Lancaster's journal highlighted it extraordinarily.
Whenever cicadas chirp outside, Treasure Island appears; When the cicadas on the island chirp, an irresistible crisis will come.
"If you look at Treasure Island from a different perspective and stop seeing Treasure Island as a pirate treasure, a lot of things seem to make sense.
Since it is said that when the seven rainbow rays dissipate, the island will sink again.
It is unlikely that a seasoned adventurer would make such a low-level mistake and let himself stay longer than the tipping point.
At most, when the third rainbow light dissipates, it will be necessary to evacuate, because the return journey will carry something, and the march speed will not be faster than when it comes.
In other words, it is highly likely that before the scheduled sinking time arrives, the 'cicada' and the crisis behind it will come first.
The safety line that adventurers thought probably didn't exist in the first place.
This whole process is like a pig killing plate arranged with 'pig feed' (pirate treasure) as bait! ”
But even if an anomaly is discovered beneath the surface, there is no reason why the two of them will not be able to back down.
It's just a little more cautious when moving on.
After dealing with several waves of different types of monsters, the sun on the horizon began to sink gradually.
The two finally stepped out of the outermost rainforest and landed on a vast field.
"The grotesqueness of the night is particularly active, let's set up camp here tonight, and I'll prepare a place to live."
"Okay, I'll prepare dinner and hot water."
They are not yet non-human beings who have completed the second forbidden ritual, and cannot completely get rid of the physiological needs of humans.
It's okay to go without sleep for a night or two, but not for a long time, especially in a dangerous place, where a nap can cost you your life.
Violet came to the three trees at the edge of the forest, and an alchemy circle flickered with lightning under her feet.
With a bang, the upper part of the three tall trees was instantly twisted into the shape of a treehouse.
The living room, bedroom, and washroom are all available.
The preparation is a shared bedroom, one person is on duty at night, and one person rests.
Transcendents who focus on spiritual power only need a few hours of sleep to fully recuperate.
As for the rest of the team, they had all drunk Byron's [Bloodbrew: Sleeping Fantasia] and fell into a dormant state.
Ingredients: Blood of Transmutation 5ml, Vodka 50ml, Cherry Brandy 10ml, Orange Citrus Liqueur 10ml, Grapefruit 20ml.
In a state of deep sleep, they reduce their consumption to the limit, and their physical strength decays by only 5% in a week.
It can only wake up again when it is stimulated by the outside world.
I'm still not sure what I'll face in the treasure cave, so I'll have to try to save money.
Ensure that there is sufficient load at that time, so as not to regret not being able to take it.
It was enough to gather the dry food that more than 50 people carried with them and give them two to eat, and it was completely enough to eat for a month.
And [Strange Things: Warrior's Cup] can solve the problem of drinking water, and basic survival will not be difficult for them.
Violet looked at her masterpiece in front of her, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to beckon Byron to come in and rest, but heard the latter calling her:
"Miss, come and see, the gold nuggets have made a new discovery."
When Violet turned her head, the sun had just set completely, but not far away in the field was a forest that radiated a brilliant golden light against the backdrop of the sunset.
It turned out to be a big golden apple orchard!
At the same time, the first mate of a parrot that had flown all over the small half of the island finally came to their heads out of breath, picked up the leaves and began to take a closer look.
