Chapter 102: A New Blasphemy Card?
"Bang-"
Angel, who was the first to see the enemy in dark vision, raised the "Good Luck" revolver and fired the first bullet from the hammer out of the chamber.
The accuracy enhanced by the magical item allowed her to directly hit the first swooping blue shadow falcon, but unfortunately there was no effect of increasing the power, only a pinch of blue feathers flew away, making this "lucky bird" scream, fluttering its wings and changing to level flight, quickly bypassing the position where Angel was standing.
The sound of the gun was like a starting gun, activating the other two extraordinary, Crane squinted his eyes at the sky, quickly locked onto the other adult giant bird in the moonlight, raised his hands high, and fired "air bullets" in succession, the "Faceling" of Sequence 6 has more power than the magician, one invisible bullet flew out of his fingertips, although the accuracy was not good, but the quantity made up for the quality, making the diving Blue Shadow Falcon like a rainstorm of bullets, blue blood and feathers splashing in the air.
But compared to the young birds attracted by the bait piglets, the two adult Blue Shadow Falcon had thick skin and flesh, and bullets could not inflict a lethal attack, and after a brief startle, they regained their height and spread out, surrounding the grass in search of an opportunity to attack.
"Into the woods!"
"The Hanged Man" Alger shouted, ignoring the flickering of light, slowly condensing the corpse of the Blue Shadow Falcon with extraordinary characteristics, and took the lead in running towards the dense jungle ahead, due to his combat style, he only brought a scimitar that was convenient for melee chopping, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the enemy hovering in the air.
But his movements seemed to be some kind of signal, and the two blue shadow falcons fluttering their wings in the crimson moonlight swooped down again, no longer moving in a straight line, but flapping their wings randomly, cutting through irregular arcs that made it difficult for Angel and Crane to aim, and the bullets flew by with a whistling, leaving only a few slowly falling feathers.
Alger looked back, his eyes wide, and realized that his escape was a sign of weakness in the eyes of these birds of prey, so that it had become their primary target, but regret was useless at this point, and it was impossible for two legs to outrun two pairs of wings.
He gritted his teeth and turned around to stand still, his body suddenly swelled in a circle, his muscles were tense, his blue hair like seaweed stood upside down, his eyes were fixed on the incoming Blue Shadow Falcon, and the scimitar in his hand was raised in front of him, trying to counterattack the moment he staggered.
"Slow!"
A demonic voice that condensed countless filth came, Angel's eyes turned bright yellow, and there was a surge of lava in it, and the invisible extraordinary power instantly swept over the two blue shadow falcons that were rushing faster and faster with the help of gravity, making them seem to fly into the viscous liquid, and the speed was instantly reduced to one-tenth of the original, and the ferocity in the gray eyes also showed a trace of hesitation.
Golden opportunity!
Alger had planned to exchange injuries for injuries, but when he saw this opportunity, he rushed forward with his scimitar, holding the handle in one hand and the middle of the back of the knife with the other, and pointed the sharp tip of the knife in the direction in which the first Blue Shadow Falcon flew.
In just two seconds, the two birds of prey had broken free from the shackles of "slowness" and regained their speed, but their original target was gone.
"Wow-"
The blue shadow falcon in front swept across the ground at an extremely fast speed, and its soft belly hit the scimitar blade that had been prepared for a long time, and it was instantly disemboweled, dragging a stream of blue blood on the grass for more than ten meters, before rolling to a stop, the bird's claws raised towards the sky shook twice, no longer moved, and the internal organs flowed out of the wound and spread on the ground.
The other Blue Shadow Falcon let out a high-pitched scream, but the instinct of the creature caused it to quickly flutter its wings and fly upwards again, and a short moment of "slowness" made the situation completely reversed, and now it was alone, facing the attacks of three extraordinary beings, even with the small poor brain of the bird, it could judge the end of its continued stubborn resistance.
Fortunately, the sky still belongs to it......
Hmmm-
As it rapidly climbed, several invisible threads shot out from behind it, wrapping around its strong claws.
"Quack!"
In its bewildered, frightened cries, a figure rapidly approached in the moonlight, and the left wrist bracelet turned into a short sword, slashing through its neck at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.
Bang, the bird's head with a pinch of dark blue feathers landed heavily in front of Alger, its round gray eyes staring at him blankly, as if to accuse the culprit of killing his family.
Subconsciously shrunk his neck, Alger looked at the sky, the headless blue shadow falcon corpse was swirling and falling, and Angel's figure above slowly descended under the effect of "lightness", and the windbreaker fluttered, like a desperate ghost in the crimson moonlight.
If her target was me, would I be able to dodge it at the speed she had just had...... He was a little afraid to think about the answer to this question.
As the corpse of the last Blue Shadow Falcon landed, the first young bird he killed gathered to produce six unique feathers with crystals on its wings.
This is one of the main ingredients for the Windswept Potion.
Alger took a deep breath, put the scimitar back into its sheath, stopped thinking about the questions that made him uncomfortable, stepped forward, and carefully plucked the feathers one by one, and tucked them into the delicate locket that had been prepared.
Originally, their plan was for Angel to take this material and secretly give it to Alger afterwards, but since there were no "outsiders" at this time, there was no need to be so troublesome.
As for the feathers of the other two, Alger decided to take the initiative to make concessions, although the main material of each sequence 6 potion is worth more than 1,500 pounds, but the biggest contribution in the battle just now is undoubtedly Angel, and the three of them have agreed before this operation, except for their own feathers, the rest of the spoils will belong to them.
Of course, the combat power shown by Miss "Queen" is the key to his decision, otherwise he may argue and ask for more loot on the grounds that he has finished two-thirds of his prey.
"It seems to be a family of three."
Walking up to the Blue Shadow Falcon that had separated from its head, Crane looked down at the other man's dead eyes, and said after a moment.
"The last time I was here was five years ago, when there was only one Blue Shadow Falcon, but now it's a family......"
Alger also felt a little remorseful, of course, because of a mistake in intelligence, not because he copied the Blue Shadow Falcon's cozy nest.
Fortunately, he had a helper by his side this time, otherwise he would have been injured himself if he had used charms and scimitars to deal with additional enemies, and not only would he not be able to explain to the crew and the church, but he would also miss the opportunity for promotion in the near future...... He covered the small box that he had put away closely, and sighed at his foresight.
During the conversation, the other two dead Blue Shadow Falcon also condensed crystals on their wings, and after plucking a total of twelve feathers, Angel put away these precious and extraordinary materials, looked at Alger, who was a little excited, but restrained enough, and asked softly:
"And now? Go back to your ghost ship, or keep exploring? β
Keep exploring!
Alger was already itching and just wanted to go back to the "Blue Avenger" and carefully hide the materials that had just arrived and were not yet hot, but when he heard Angel's inquiry, he felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.
Five years ago, he discovered this pristine island outside the fairway, explored it carefully, and chose to leave because of his lack of strength. This time, there is Miss "Queen" in sequence 5, and Gelman, a believer in Mr. "Fool" whose sequence is unknown, but should not be weak, accompanied by him, and he has also improved the sequence and obtained magical items, and the lineup is much stronger than last time, can you try to explore the ancient ruins that you couldn't go deep into last time?
Looking at the dense jungle and towering peaks deep in the island, he was silent for a moment and said:
"The island is quiet at night, and with the exception of the less alert creatures like the Blue Shadow Falcon, most of the otherworldly creatures hide in their nests and wait for the dawn. This suggests that the island has additional dangers that they all fear and that only appear at night. β
Angel and Crane didn't answer, waiting quietly for him to continue.
"And in the depths of the island, in the Black Forest, there is an ancient ruin of unknown age, an area that even the most ferocious and transcendent creatures on the island dare not enter. Inside the ruins, it is said that there is something very precious, very important, worth more than most magical items, and even ...... It won't even be worse than the kind of solitaire made by Russell the Great. β
Glancing at Crane, there was a slight pause in Alger's tone.
The Emperor's deck of cards...... Is it a "blasphemy card"? He was worried that Klein knew the precious knowledge circulating within the Tarot Society, so he was vague, but in fact, Crane had already seen the "Red Priest" card and learned more information from the psychic of the Apostle of Desire...... Angel laughed secretly, and was about to continue asking, when Klein, who was beside him, spoke:
"Supposedly? You're not the only one who knows this island? β
"Yes, I discovered the island with another man, but rest assured, he will never divulge the secret," replied Alger with a strange smile, "because that man is 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringers, and a dead man will not speak." β
The "Hanged Man" actually explored the island with the "Lieutenant General"?
Angel subconsciously glanced at Klein beside him, although the latter's face did not change, his eyes also showed curiosity.
Ziringus's death in Beckland was big news in the newspapers, so he really wouldn't reveal the secrets of the island, but when did Alger, who is a believer in the Storm Church, get involved with Ziringus, one of the pirate generals?
Moreover, the "Hanged Man" even revealed the movements of Ziringus at the "Tarot Society", trying to get everyone to assist in the investigation, and begging Mr. Fool to send a follower to kill the other party.
Could it be that he wanted to kill people and occupy this primitive island for himself?
As if seeing Angel's doubts, Alger did not sell off, and continued:
"Five years ago, I discovered this island by accident with Ziringus, who had not yet become a pirate general, and at that time I was only a Sequence 8 'Raging People' and did not have the ability to explore deeply, but Zilingus found some traces and suspected that the ruins deep in the island contained extremely important secrets.
But he wouldn't elaborate, and I could only get a rough idea of what was going on in the ruins, there was a relatively well-preserved church in the middle of the ruins, and he briefly explored the underground area, and in less than ten minutes he came out with a faint breath, and said that he would only have a chance to go deeper if he became Sequence 5. Afterwards...... You should know his end. β
In the ending...... "Lieutenant General Hurricane" died at the hands of Mr. Aziz before he could be promoted to Sequence 5...... By the way, according to the Hanged Man, he infiltrated Bakeland for a difficult mission - to assassinate Duke Negan, and the reward would allow him to rival the Pirate King of Sequence 4, could it be this item hidden in the ruins?
Wait, the Apostle of Desire, who succeeded in assassinating Duke Negan and eventually died at the hands of me and Crane, also acted for a mission issued by a secret organization, and he exchanged Duke Negan's death for a "blasphemy card" that recorded the complete path of potions!
So, the items that Zilingers coveted in the ruins and lured him to assassinate the duke, which is said to make him quickly promoted to a high order, are also a "blasphemy card"?
Alger's rhetoric helped Angel connect many of her previous doubts, and the "blasphemy card" that recorded the potion recipe undoubtedly made her quite excited. But she knew that even Zilingers, who had the "wriggling hunger", did not dare to explore deeply, and could only obtain it by completing the "difficult task", and there must be a great danger close to the demigod level in the depths of the ruins......
"Dingβ"
Beside her, Crane reached out and threw out a coin, caught it steadily, and spread his palm.
George III's relief face is facing upwards, looking at the crimson moon overhead.
That means Alger wasn't lying.
"We ...... Go inside and have a look. β
Carefully putting away the coins, Crane said slowly, looking forward to the dense jungle that was pitch black and hidden unknown dangers.
