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 initial panic, and they have even begun to create large traps in the dense forest, trying to hunt down 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 seek out the Faceling warriors who are alone and in a weakened state, and these Faceless warriors have become extremely sensitive and fragile, and 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 bold men among these sailors, who were very obsessed with jungle hunting, and hunting down 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 a cliff and kicked them down, they would only scream with excitement.
So every day we will do some anti-reconnaissance measures to those faceless warriors who are looking for us in the dense forest, and we will hunt them in turn, those faceless warriors formed a search team at the beginning, it was only ten fighters per team, but as the faceless team entered the dense forest, sometimes it would disappear silently, and the faceless warriors began to be alert, and they increased the number of search teams to twenty warriors, and the inexplicable disappearance of the search team was 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, the Royal Academy of Magic should probably 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 Magic Academy, there should probably be a ball after the coming-of-age ceremony, 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 Vasiqi 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 want to know, if you are in the imperial capital, will 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 will attend it 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 said, laughing.
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 at the coming-of-age ceremony, and this sister will already attend the coming-of-age ceremony three years ago, wouldn't it be strange?"
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, the implication of your words is that you dislike me for being old?"
“...... No, no, of course not, how could it be!" I explained with a wave of my hand.
Then he asked her, "Oh, by the way, do you 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 we do?"
Ying Li didn't seem to know much about this, she originally wanted to ask for the advice of Becky and Helena, but found that the two were not around, and only said: "Ordinary royals will probably accept the 'blessing of 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, okay, although I can't take you back to the imperial capital right away, I promise you, I will take you back as soon as possible. "I swear 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...... It makes sense in theory that it was actually based on a seagoing ship, but we were faced with a number of practical problems, the first of which was that neither the 'Shirley' nor the 'Slave Trader' was suitable for being transformed 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 mind fluttered in the wind at night, and I suddenly remembered the city in the sea of trees, Strange Rock City.
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 happened to touch 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, Just's strength in his 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 I can live on three peaks from here, and it looks pretty good!"
My eyes lit up, then I looked up at the sky, and after a moment of silence, I said to Karantso, "You can rest for a while, and in three quarters of an hour, I will take you with you, and we will ...... Take refuge in a cave and take a break. ”
"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, but I don't want them to know the secrets of the valley, so I asked Karantso to look around the extinct volcano island for caves where they can 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 Xinliu Valley to hunt down the Faceless warriors who have gathered in the inland sea.
If those Faceless warriors obediently hid in the sea, perhaps it would be difficult to carry out the hunt because the barbarian slaves were afraid of water, but what else did they have to fear when they landed on such a large scale and left the sea water?
