Chapter 1191: The Road Filled with Crises
The Kraken-ravaged Argo's hull was covered with subtle and thick cracks, and the ship made of ordinary materials would have disintegrated long since its voyage, but the Argo, blessed by the gods and made of special materials, raised its sails depicting the divine pattern and sped across the sea like a motorcycle, and the impact of the waves hitting the bow of the ship made the hull slightly raise the posture of the ship, making it wonder if the Argo would break away from the sea and rush into the sky in the next moment.
In order to prevent the Argo from being attacked again by creatures such as the Kraken, the Kraken, who ordered the crew to increase their speed to the limit, Iason, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the coast was close at hand. Large sea creatures such as the Kraken are devastating to ships, but they are too large to get close to shallow waters for fear of dying by running aground. And there are no large marine life in the shallow waters, so there are no safety issues for the natural Argo. The ship slowly docked on the famous white sand beach of the Kingdom of Colchis, dropped its bronze anchor, and the demigod crew behind the Argo jumped from the deck into the sea without waiting for the bow to lower the soft ladder. For a time, the shallows covered by clear waters were occupied by strong men, and the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe and the cheers of arriving at the destination resounded on the coast.
"Hmm! What stung me? What's in the sea ... ”
The cheers were mixed with questions that didn't matter, but in the noise of the demigod heroes, small things like mosquito bites were not taken into account at all. However, when many of the crew members walked onto the beach and prepared to move towards the capital of the Kingdom of Colchis, the crew members who were still human and the slightly weaker demigods invariably noticed abnormal sensations in their bodies. The skin that had come into contact with the sea was red and swollen, and the swelling that spread all over the body brought pain, fever and itching, and even the demigods, who prided on their strength, had to endure the pain of their unknown illness. But the itching on the skin was only a reaction to the fact that the toxin had not penetrated into the body at first, and soon the crew of the Argo had difficulty breathing and even suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
"This, what's going on!? Is it a curse from a demon or witch? ”
"No way, we are warriors blessed by the gods, and the curse of Colchis in the remote land cannot work under the majesty of the gods."
"Hah... Ha... I can't breathe, am I going to die here for no apparent reason? ”
The panic and sadness caused by the Kraken attack had not subsided, and the sudden illness of no less than ten crew members had once again thrown the Argo crew into chaos. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake or poisonous insect and become poisoned, it is not difficult for the talented crew of the Argo to prepare an antidote according to the characteristics of the poisonous insect and the poisonous snake. The problem is that even if the ship's doctor finds that the crew members who have a high fever and difficulty breathing are highly poisonous, and they do not know the source of the toxin, they have to pray that the physical fitness of the demigods can suppress the poison.
The crew members who confirmed the poison were temporarily unable to move, and Iazon was in a dilemma. At present, Iasong and the others are going to meet with the king of the Kingdom of Colchis and ask the other party for the legendary treasure of the Kingdom of Colchis, the Golden Fleece. Asking the king for the treasures of another country in person is undoubtedly as bad as a challenge to the dignity of the country. If Iason did not have a sufficient number of demigods around him, I am afraid that the king of Colchis would not consider Iason's request and send guards to hunt down the Argo crew led by Iason. At that time, let alone get the Golden Fleece, it is a question of whether they can escape with their lives under the current situation of nearly half of the crew reduction.
It is also not a good idea to wait for the poisoned crew to recover on the coast, knowing that the crew of the Argo is in the land of the Kingdom of Colchis at this time, with the intention of obtaining a treasure that has been passed down for many years by the Kingdom of Colchis, which can be regarded as equivalent to the survival of the country. Attempting to shake the very foundations of the existence of other nations, Operation Argo was an outright hostile act for the Kingdom of Colchis. Although Iason and the others have not expressed their intention to acquire the Golden Fleece to the Kingdom of Colchis today, they will not have any other intention than to capture the Golden Fleece by uniting many demigods with outstanding military strength to come here on a ship blessed by the gods. Most of the people who had arrived in the Kingdom of Colchis had been discovered and killed by the guards patrolling the seaside before they could reach the capital, and the consequences of the highly poisonous crew members being detected by the guards were probably no different from those who had become vulture food.
In the end, the hesitant Iason decided to split his troops into two ways, leaving several of the less powerful crew members of the demigods in place to guard and take care of the poisoned crew, and the rest of the crew were all strong enough to ensure that Iason escaped from the Kingdom of Colchis when he was wanted and pursued. Witnessing Iason's decision to be forced to disperse in the light screen, Xun Xin opened another light screen in the incomprehensible gaze of Shenqi and Athena.
"The Argo's combat power reduction plan has been carried out successfully, thanks to Lin Chan, you induced the jellyfish in the sea to go to the shore overnight, otherwise with ninety percent of the troops in the capital of the Kingdom of Corchis, it would be impossible to stop the Argo crew from snatching the Golden Fleece."
On the other side of the screen, the woman who was petite but had a figure that was not inferior to the god obviously exuded a tired aura, but the delicate and beautiful jade cheeks exuded a force that made the two gods feel suppressed. However, when the golden girl complains to Xunxin in a lazy tone about the difficulty of inducing jellyfish, the previous feeling of oppression that was so strong that it makes the gods frightened no longer exists like an ethereal dream.
"Not to mention the creatures that can only maintain basic thinking, and the slow movement of the bait alone will not be able to gather on the shore of the Argo before it arrives. I temporarily called on the World Tree sailboat to use the trawl net to barely complete the task in time... Now I just want to lie down on the soft bed and get some rest... ”
At the mention of the word jellyfish, Athena immediately understood why the crew of the Argo had been poisoned for no apparent reason. Jellyfish in the waters around the kingdom of Colchis are so transparent that even if you look closely, you can't spot them. Jellyfish itself carries a toxin that is violent and difficult to resist for humans, and the onset is extremely fast, and at the same time, it will bring symptoms such as difficulty breathing, high fever, itching and weakness to the poisoned person. Although the crew of the Argo was a great man who came from the great sage Caron's sect, even if they had the blood of a demigod in the face of the unknown, a considerable number of the crew of the Argo were unconscious.
The moment he set foot on the coast of the Kingdom of Colchis, the Argo lost more than half of its crew, and the rest of the crew had to take care of Shangyuan on top of this. Realizing that Operation Argo was most likely to fail due to a severe shortage of manpower, Athena writhed like a salted fish in an attempt to break free from her chains. The sound of the chains made the brow of the heart beside him furrow slightly, and then Athena's vision was filled with inky lumps...
