81. Once there was a sea


On the extinct volcanic island, in between evading the Faceless warriors, we were able to enjoy the island's unique life.The dense forests of the extinct volcanic island are filled with towering trees, vines, parasitic plants, and low shrubs that act as a natural three-dimensional barrier against the Faceless warriors, as if no one had ever set foot on the island before.I have been on the island with my sailors for three days with hundreds of Faceless warriors, and the sailors have gradually calmed down from the panic at the beginning, and they have even begun to create large traps in the dense forest, trying to catch those Faceless warriors who have rashly broken into the forest.After leaving the sea and entering the jungle, in order to keep their bodies hydrated, their skin secretes a thick layer of mucus, and in the process of crossing the jungle, their bodies are constantly rubbing against the branches, and the slime is inevitably rubbed off by the branches, so it is a very common phenomenon for the Faceless warriors to become overly weak due to dehydration in the jungle.The sailors' favorite thing to do, under the cover of the jungle, is to find the Faceless warriors who are alone and in a weakened state, and these Faceless warriors have become extremely sensitive.

Feeling and fragile, even a little spark can dry out their skin.Sometimes, when the Faceless Ones fall into a trap, the sailors set fire to the greased branches that have been prepared long ago, and although they are still full of young leaves, they will burn quickly in the face of open flames.It's just that this trap has a downside, the location here will be quickly exposed.The sailors must plan their retreat route in advance, and the other Faceless will quickly find it in the smoke rising into the sky.Another point is that we must control the fire and not let it spread, after all, we still have to rely on the dense forest here to fight the Faceless warriors, and if a fire ignites the mountain forest, we will have nothing to hide.A small ridge of mountain on the west side of the extinct volcanic island was crisscrossed by faceless warriors, and the toppled trees lay between them, shrinking our living area.And I found that during these three days, there were Faceless warriors gathering on this extinct volcanic island one after another, and they didn't seem to have any intention of giving up on looking for us.Today, the inland sea of the extinct volcanic island has become almost a gathering place for Faceless warriors, where at least two thousand Faceless warriors gather.During these three days of life in the jungle, I discovered that there were some daring men among these sailors, they were very obsessed with jungle killing, killing those Faceless warriors who were many times more powerful than them would make them feel more spiritual satisfaction than ever, they didn't care how close they were to death, and they had an almost blind worship for Karantso, even if Karantso stood on the edge of the cliff and kicked them down, they would only scream with excitement.So every day we will do some counter-reconnaissance measures to those faceless warriors who are looking for us in the dense forest, and will kill them in turn, those faceless warriors formed a search team at the beginning, only ten fighters per team, but as they enter the faceless team in the dense forest, sometimes they will disappear silently, and the faceless warriors begin to be alert, and they will increase the number of search teams to twenty fighters, and the inexplicable disappearance of the search team can be contained.On the third day, these Faceless warriors took advantage of their numerical superiority and began to destroy the dense forests of the extinct volcanic island on a large scale, and they spent a huge amount of manpower to carve out green passages in this mountain forest, dividing this mountain forest into diamond-shaped forests, and they continued to squeeze our living space.Only under the cover of night can we have a moment of rest.We hid in a dense forest, and the sailors dragged their tired bodies, hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of dry food, and fell asleep against the trees.This group of sailors was adept at seafaring and sea combat, but not at jungle guerrilla warfare.After the previous freshness period, their bodies have begun to gradually overdraw, and they need to have enough rest, but what we lack is enough rest time.Caterina and Deborah, who are on guard, have a natural sense of danger.In this dense forest, there was no wind in all directions, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.A flying gadfly flew in front of me and landed on my arm, and when its sharp mouthparts tried to penetrate my skin, I found that it had hit the iron plate all of a sudden, and my fingertips revealed a force of ice and snow, which instantly turned the gadfly into a delicate ice sculpture, and the moment it was about to fly, it was sealed in the ice by me.I don't know why, but there don't seem to be any poisonous insects, snakes and ants who want to approach Ying Li, I guess it's probably because she has something in her veins that those low-level creatures are afraid of.In order to make it easier to walk in the dense forest, she wore a Thorntail Crystal Lion Skin Armor, and it was then that I realized that Helena's leather armor was always so clean and undamaged at all times, and the reason was that she carried more than one set of Thorntail Crystal Lion Skin Armor in her magic fanny pack.This level of jungle experience made Helena and Becky seem to have some new insights every day, and Karantso and Caterina shared their experiences with the two girls without reservation.I thought that Caterina and Helena were more similar in personality, while Becky and Karanso had similar fighting styles.But in fact, it was Becky who asked Katerina more often for advice on how to fight, and Helena liked to ask Karantso for swordsmanship, although I was a little puzzled, but this did not prevent Helena and Becky from growing."

At this time, probably the Royal Academy of Magic should be open."

I sat under a coconut tree and said to Ying Li beside me.Ying Li turned her head, her starry eyes were like the two brightest stars in the dark night, and although I didn't look at her face, I could feel her smile.She replied softly: "Well, here at the Imperial Capital Junior Academy of Magic, there should probably be a ball after the coming-of-age ceremony, and speaking of which, the Royal Academy of Magic should also have this kind of ball!"

”The voice was like the murmuring of a wind whisperer, and it was soft.Thinking that if it weren't for being trapped in the Vaschi plane, Ying Li would also have to prepare to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony after the start of school, I suddenly had a strange thought in my heart: "Oh, then again, I would like to know, if you were in the imperial capital, would you participate in this coming-of-age ceremony?"

”She looked at me with wide eyes and some puzzlement, as if she didn't understand the meaning of my words.She said, "Of course it will, not only me, but also Becky and Helena, we'll be together!"

This is a coming-of-age ceremony that is only once in the life of the people of the imperial capital, why do you think I will not necessarily participate?

”"I'm just curious!"

I laughed and said.Seeing that she was still looking at me, I continued, "Imagine that at the coming-of-age ceremony, you will be given a blessing and a gift from your sister, who has already attended the coming-of-age ceremony three years ago. ”After listening to my words, Ying Li's tense face was like a blooming night.When she laughs, there will be two intoxicating dimples on her face, although her face is not beautiful, but her delicate facial features reveal the unique temperament that only the royal family has, and her smile reveals a dignified and elegant ladylike demeanor.Ying Li frowned and muttered to me, "Hey, is the implication in your words that you dislike me for being old?"

”"No, no, no, of course not, how could it be!"

I waved my hand again and again to explain.Then he asked her, "Oh, by the way, will your royal family prepare any special recognition ceremony?"

Or do you want to go to the temple together to receive the blessings of the goddess, like us?

”Ying Li didn't seem to know much about this, she originally wanted to ask Becky and Helena for advice, but found that the two were not around, and only said: "Ordinary members of the royal family will probably accept the blessing of Lady Liberty together!"

”Maybe it was because we talked about life in the imperial capital, which made Ying Li feel a little depressed, she lowered her eyes and said to me faintly: "Jijia, I'm a little homesick, I think Manda may have regretted it, she can't find me for so long, she should miss me too!"

”"Well, well!

Although I can't take you back to the imperial capital right away, I promise you that I will take you back as soon as possible. ”I swore to Ying Li.When I said this, I was thinking about the drawings of the teleportation magic array that Senior Dylan showed me, those drawings were really based on a sea ship, although it makes sense in theory, but we are facing many very practical problems, the first point is: neither the Shirley nor the Slave Trader is suitable for transforming into a sailing ship with a teleportation function.Because such a sailboat, when crossing the rift in space, needs to have a high-strength structure, which in itself is not something that a wood-framed sailboat can afford.In addition, we also need to coat the exterior with a layer of magic metal to avoid being swallowed by the spatial rift, even if we want to cover a hundred-meter-long sailboat with a layer of rune metal plated with magic metal, maybe just collecting these rune metal plates will make us run all over Vasqui."

Hehe, I'm kidding."

Ying Li smiled and said to me: "Actually, this place is not bad, there is a bit like the open sea of Haiyinsi, all my memories when I was a child were in Haiyinsi, which was called a water city by people, and I will take you to visit it if I have the opportunity, it is a beautiful city." ”Speaking of Haiyinsi, it reminds me of Uncle Fred, Sister Singh, and Kong Zhen, and I don't know how they are doing in Haiyinsi, and whether Uncle Fred has handled his housework.My thoughts fluttered in the wind at night, and I suddenly remembered the city of Qiyan Castle in the sea of trees.I took Ying Li's hand and said to her, "Of course I have to go, I want to go not only to Haiyinsi, but also to Qiyan City." ”Looking up at the starry sky of the abyss, it seemed that each star had woken up from its slumber, huddled together and shimmering with silver starlight.In the distance, the sound of waves crashing against the reef could be heard, and quietly, a coconut crab the size of a football fell from the coconut tree, it looked like a spider that had been magnified countless times, and it had little to do with the crab except for the two huge crab claws.Then a round coconut rolled down and fell at my feet, and I reached out to pick up the green coconut.The coconut crab that fell to the ground saw that I had snatched the food that was about to reach its mouth, and opened its claws to crawl towards me, its body seemed to be very bulky, but its speed was extremely fast, I looked at it in amazement, I could not understand what gave it so much courage."

Be careful!"

Justes leaned in from the side, his cheeks covered in scales, and a tooth-white bone spur sticking out of his wrist to nail the coconut crab into the dirt.At the same time, the crab claws of the coconut crab just touched the coconut in my hand, and the huge crab claws clicked, clamping the coconut shell in half.I looked at the coconut crab that was dying under Justes' bone spurs, and the coconut that was sandwiched in half, and then looked at my fingers, and looked at the coconut crab that was still waving its claws with a palpitation, and looked at Justes gratefully."

Thank you."

The milky white juice flowed to the ground, Justus used a straw rope to trap the coconut crab strongly, and then the green scales on his face slowly faded, and the bony spurs on his wrist also retracted little by little into his physical strength, he carried the bundled coconut crab, shook it in front of my eyes, and said with a smile: "The coconut crab here is very aggressive, some seabirds and small beasts are not its opponents, its crab claws can easily break the coconut shell, and of course it can also break your fingers." ”Justes then said to me, "But it's also a rare delicacy, and we can eat it right now!"

”Perhaps because of the stimulation of the dark body potion, the strength in Just's body has grown rapidly recently, and it is precisely because of these powers that he can resist the addiction in his body.At this time, Karantso jumped down from the tree, crouched down beside me, and whispered to me, "I found it, there is a cave where you can live on three peaks from here, and it looks pretty good!"

”My eyes lit up, then I looked up at the sky, muttered for a moment, and said to Karantso, "You have a little more rest, and in three quarters of an hour I will set out with you, and we will take refuge in the cave and rest." ”"Good!"

Karantso nodded, a simple word bursting out of his mouth.For the past few days, I have been thinking about what reason to bring these sailors into the valley of the willows, but I don't want them to know the secrets of the valley, so I asked Karantso to look around the extinct volcanic island for caves where they could live, I took the sailors to hide in the caves, and then used hypnosis to put them to sleep, and then took them into the underground caves of the valley, where they needed to recuperate for a while.This extinct volcanic island is my battlefield, and I am ready to summon the orc warriors and barbarian slaves in the valley of Xinliu to kill the faceless warriors who have gathered in the inland sea.If those Faceless warriors obediently hid in the sea, maybe it would be difficult to carry out the killing because the barbarian slaves were afraid of water, but what else did they have to fear about after such a large-scale landing in the mountains and leaving the sea water?
