35. Mermaids

(Thank you for the support of the book friend "Hanbo Ningcui" monthly pass!, thank you here!)

After ten days of sailing, the ship saw in the distance that the north was green, and smoke was rising, and Tierra del Fuego had arrived.

Looking at this green, Wang Qinian was in a trance, unconsciously, the weather had entered late spring, it was almost summer, the wealth on the ship had been counted, Wang Qinian also took out some of his rings, compared with the harvest of the two ships, the devil Artigo was more, Wang Qinian distributed these treasures according to the head and merit, Wang Qinian knew to impress them with money, and control them with ambition.

As they approached Tierra del Fuego, there was a beautiful singing, "What is this place, how could there be any people?" The pirates had not seen a woman for a while, and one by one they were ready to move, and they all went to the deck and looked in the direction from which the song came.

The song is a woman's voice, full of seduction, Wang Qinian is also very curious, isn't there no human in the legend of this place?

But the song seems to have a kind of magic, even affecting the sailors of the control ship, the ship unconsciously deviated from the course, even Wang Qinian was a little fascinated, at this time a pirate jumped into the water, plopped, Wang Qinian remembered a legend in vain, and couldn't help shouting.

"Mermaid, that's the mermaid that seduces the sailors!" he suddenly came to his senses, and with a burst of snort, he rolled over the sailors' ears like thunder, and his hand grabbed into the sea, and the pirate was swimming forward desperately, and was suddenly picked up out of thin air by a force and fell on the deck.

Wang Qinian's voice interrupted the mermaid's singing. Wang Qinian looked forward, on a reef, there seemed to be a woman's figure, when Wang Qinian broke off, as if frightened, jumped into the water, the huge dolphin-like tail appeared on the water for a moment, then disappeared, the song stopped, and the surrounding seagulls flew by.

The pirates were drunk by Wang Qinian. Also sobered up. They had also heard the legend of the mermaid, and heard that the mermaid's song was seductive, and they didn't take it seriously, but they saw it today. I saw that the ship had already passed a reef-covered area. Unconsciously. The boat enters the reef area.

Wang Qinian ordered to leave here, and the two boats sailed carefully out of the area. Behind a rock, a head sticks out, with a beautiful face and a look of wonder at the backs of the two boats, and after a long time, it re-enters the water.

The boat docked on the side of Tierra del Fuego, most people got off the boat, Wang Qinian is no exception, Tierra del Fuego is a standard volcanic island, the volcano in the island is an active volcano, but it did not erupt, but the heat of the center of the earth is slowly released, the crater on the island is often steaming, and in other places, it is lush, there are some peculiar tree species, from the fine point of view of the trees, there are many of them have a history of hundreds of years, there are birds, beasts, snakes and insects on the island, and even monsters, the island is relatively large, more than ten miles long, except for no one, other things seem to have.

Demps even hit a monster, which is a monster similar to a donkey, with two horns on its head, and makes a humming sound, because no one knows it, Demps calls it a beast, named after its call, according to Demps, this is a monster with dual attributes of earth and fire, although it eats grass, but it takes the initiative to attack people.

The attack was with ground spikes and fireballs, and two pirates were even injured before Demps intervened to kill them. Wang Qinian was very interested when he heard this, took out the notes in the ring, and wrote it down: The beast, famous, is a fire monster, produced on Tierra del Fuego in the sunset ocean...

He set up a temporary dissecting table, dissected it, wrote down its characteristics in detail, as well as the magic patterns on its body, and told Tom how to dissect the monster while dissecting it, and obtained the magic patterns and how to use the nucleation technique, etc., and asked Tom to pay attention to what he saw and how to organize his notes.

This qiē, as a qualified magician must master the skills, a magician is not only a cultivator, but also a person who acquires knowledge, a certain process dù said above, sometimes the acquisition of knowledge is more important, only by acquiring knowledge, it is possible to use this knowledge, and then change the surrounding qiē.

Wang Qinian was in a good mood, he was teaching Tom seriously for the first time, although Tom was not his disciple, and Wang Qinian didn't want to accept an apprentice, taking advantage of today's good mood, he taught Tom seriously for the first time.

Tom made a note of this qiē for him. This kind of opportunity is rare, he knows that Wang Qinian is a magician with strong magic, although he usually follows Wang Qinian and Demps, he only learns some knowledge sporadically, is it that Wang Qinian is in a good mood today, of course he can't let go of this opportunity.

Wang Qinian's good mood did not last until the evening, because a pirate had an accident, he died, his head was stuck in the water, his eyes were full of fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrible.

The pirates discussed one after another, and for a while people's hearts fluctuated, but Wang Qinian sensed it seriously, and felt a faint death breath, it was not his, this death gas seemed to be left by the necromantic creatures, Wang Qinian fell into deep thought, he didn't find any necromantic creatures on Tierra del Fuego, and the island was full of life, and there should be no necromantic creatures, where did the necromantic creatures come from?

Demps saw Wang Qinian fall into deep thought, and said, "Do you see anything?"

Wang Qinian was stunned and said, "You can sense it yourself, although it is light, you should be able to sense it." ”

"What?" Demps closed his eyes, and after a moment, his brow furrowed, "How can there be necromantic creatures, this place should not produce necromantic creatures." ”

As soon as they heard that this involved necromantic creatures, many pirates began to retreat, and even some pirates proposed to leave here immediately, Wang Qinian saw it, and said: "We don't know if the necromantic creatures are coming at us, if they come at us, it is useless to leave, besides, we have a brother who died, and if we don't avenge him, he won't feel at ease underground." ”

Playing with necromantic creatures in front of Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian's evil fire rose in his heart, and he had made up his mind that whether it was naturally generated or artificial, he would definitely make a difference.

Wang Qinian asked the pirates to be careful, and it was best to go out in a group of a few people, but he wanted to see what was causing trouble. Back on the ship, the sailors who stayed behind came to report that the underwater warning had sounded, but after a while, the siren went off again, and since this thing had no magic and could not show the situation at the bottom of the sea, they did not know what was going on underwater.

Wang Qinian's heart moved, and immediately launched an underwater early warning device to scan the seabed, this scan, only to find that the topography of the seabed had changed, they were trapped, in the semi-circular area, countless submarine stone pillars protruded, and did not expose the sea, but blocked the way of the two boats.

This time, Wang Qinian knew that a conspiracy was unfolding around him, if he fled in panic and happened to fall into someone else's calculation, but the enemy did not dare to come clearly, it means that they are not sure, and they are just making trouble behind their backs, who will it be?

Wang Qinian's brain flashed suspicions about each other, and after elimination, he identified two objects, one was a ghost ship and the other was a mermaid. They are the most suspicious, but judging by the dead, the ghost ship is more likely.

Wang Qinian does not think that the death of a pirate is an isolated incident, but the ghost ship has a large number of necromantic creatures, and Wang Qinian prefers the ghost ship to the mermaid who does not know the details.

Demps also discovered the change in the topography of the seabed, but this qiē was pretended not to be known by the two people, and the other pirates did not know, the two people tacitly guarded a ship, and when night fell, Wang Qinian went out quietly, shook his body, and turned into a goshawk and got up, he did not travel all over the island during the day, in fact, only a small part of it.

Under the cover of night, Wang Qinian hovered around the island with the hot air currents formed by the residual heat of the day, and his eyes had been modified to see at night, as long as the object emitted infrared rays, he could see.

He saw many things that he couldn't see during the day, the crater was still very hot, in Wang Qinian's eyes, it was red and shiny, he didn't pay attention to it during the day, he didn't observe the volcano at all, but at night he saw many humanoid creatures haunting in the red heat, counted, there were about eleven or twelve, Wang Qinian was very strange, what kind of creature is this, lowered the height, and saw clearly, the height was less than half of that of ordinary people, not directly in the magma haunting impermanence, but in and out of the cave on the side, they were like dwarfs, and their appearance was very ugly, of course, from a human point of view, what surprised Wang Qinian even more was that they seemed to have wisdom and domesticated two creaturesThese two creatures are a fire-resistant earth-resistant sauroper, but they are small, and a large red spider, and these two creatures are actually crawling around in the magma, as if looking for something.

Wang Qinian thought about it, there is a record of strange creatures in the "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures", this kind of humanoid dwarf is a creature that is said to come from an alien plane, and it is not clear what plane it comes from, most people think that it is a hell plane or an abyss plane, and there is no one in the normal main plane, called thermophilic gnomes, born with heat resistance, living in the depths of underground caves, not cold tolerant, often born with volcanoes, I can't expect to see them here.

Those two creatures are also demonic beasts, a fire-resistant ground lizard horned dragon, which is a wurm with the blood of a fire dragon, but unfortunately it has no wings and cannot fly in the air to fight, and one is a thermophilic demon spider, which sprays out spider silk that is not only not afraid of heat, but also carries heat poison in itself.

Wang Qinian was just about to get closer, but there was a faint singing voice in his ears, Wang Qinian suddenly raised his body, although the thermophilic dwarfs are intelligent creatures, they have nothing to do with the necromancer at all, they can't summon the necromancer, and the high temperature of their body is the nemesis of the necromantic creatures in a certain way, saying that they are related to the death of the pirate, Wang Qinian doesn't believe it, so he is curious. But as soon as he heard the mermaid's song, he immediately raised his body, spread his wings, and searched the sea.

He saw a mermaid singing on a reef on Tierra del Fuego, across the boat. (To be continued......)
