Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

The sound of dawn circled around the edge of the emerald swamp, moving at an unusually slow speed.

Everyone on the deck looked at the swamp not far away.

"How's it going? Where do we land from?" Jason asked as he looked at it.

Landing on this Zehai is completely different from ordinary islands.

They must think carefully before acting cautiously.

Alka raised his palm, and the map appeared in his hand. He opened the map and looked at the area in the Land of Souls.

Although this map is huge, it is still similar to a world map. There is not much detailed labeling of the tiny islands in the area.

Fortunately, the Holy Mother Church participated in the production of this map.

Therefore, in the Land of All Souls area, the map information is quite detailed, and the existence of islands in safe areas in this area is clearly marked with paintings.

Where are they located and how far apart are they from each other?

The most ambiguous place is the boundary between life and death.

There is nothing there, only a few locations on the periphery are marked.

The Emerald Land is better than the border between life and death, but not much better.

The only ones who still maintain their enthusiasm for exploring this Zehai are the explorers and scholars of the Holy Mechanism Church.

The high death rate in this area still scares away too many people.

Looking at the island in the Land of Souls.

Since they come from the boundary between life and death, they can accurately identify the area where they are now.

At the junction, there's no doubt about it.

After looking at it, Alka clicked on a place above the area that was clearly marked as an island.

"Let's go here first."

According to speculation, this island should be the closest island to where they are now.

Xia Detti was watching from the side and nodded when he heard Alka's words.

Then Alka looked at everyone and said: "We are preparing to land, everyone is ready, this time no one will be left on the ship."

The range of Zehai is too large. Once they go deep inside, it will be difficult for Dawn Voice to support them.

The entangled vines restricted her movement. Dawn's Voice only had to stay on the periphery of Zehai and maintain a certain speed to move around Zehai.

Just go in the direction closest to them.

Going around the perimeter is at least safe, and there is no need to worry about any irreversible damage to Dawn Voice.

After all, it is a ghost ship with its own intelligence.

After Alka said that, everyone started to prepare.

Zehai is no better than other islands. No matter how big the other islands are, they are not much bigger.

The area of ​​Zehai can compete with that of the mainland, so they must bring enough supplies to avoid running out of food halfway due to unfamiliar terrain.

Pocket ring sizes are limited.

No preparation for long.

About two hours later, Dawn's Voice slowly docked at the edge of Zehai.

After parking, you can clearly feel that Zehai is moving.

The hatch on the bow of the ship opened, and the Feiyan sailed out.

A long boat like this can't handle a big boat, so there's no problem at all.

Because ships are born for speed. The above incantation can prevent the entire ship from drafting too deep even if it has a certain load.

However, the range of ships is limited, and the Doll Knights account for a large part.

There are some supplies piled on top, but not much, more of a disguise.

Xia Detti was sitting on the bow of the boat, with faint silver ripples going deep into the water from her position, exploring the surrounding environment through the bottom of the boat.

Pororo, Materissa and Julia walked directly on the swamp.

Under the green vines, the slightly green sea water reflected, probably covering their thighs.

Some areas cannot bear the pain well, and sometimes it will sink deeper and even spread to the chest and abdomen.

In some shallower areas, ships have to go around.

Because it doesn’t reach up to the calf at most.

Julia directly transformed her legs into fish tails again.

This allows the three marine races to travel in the sea water not too slowly, or in other words, more freely.

You can catch up with Feiyan easily.

After all, this place is not a wide sea area, and the Feiyan cannot be allowed to sail at will at full speed.

You can only maintain a low speed and keep it under control slightly faster than running speed.

Except for Xia Detti, only Jason, Juanlu and Alka were still on the boat.

Simon was riding in a structure he had just built, which was a large patrol aircraft.

There was just enough space for him to sit on it, allowing him to float about seven or eight meters above the sea.

A flying platform he built specifically for himself. However, the settings and some parts were not very clever, resulting in a low flying height.

However, with the control of treasures, he will achieve the ultimate breakthrough, so it is very practical for him personally.

There were six Sentinel patrol planes floating above everyone's heads. They were alert to the surrounding situation and were constantly patrolling.

A bright stream of light flashed across the sky, and the crystal dragon flew down and surrounded everyone's heads.

From time to time it flies down like a sharp arrow, then slides across the water and climbs up quickly.

At this time, the Crystal Dragon's size has completely exceeded Jason's, not counting its tail.

The body length has completely exceeded two meters.

Coupled with the tail and the wide and bright crystal wings, it looks like it has begun to take shape as a giant dragon.

Now Xia Daiti is at the helm, guiding everyone in the direction forward.

"This place is exactly what others have said. If you really rely on your legs to walk, you will easily fall into a bottomless abyss."

Xia Detti could roughly and accurately judge the surrounding terrain through the silver ripples.

These vines look tough, but in many places they have very fragile holes.

If you walk over, you may accidentally step on it.

It was like suddenly walking on land and stepping into a pothole, falling straight down.

Because of the special structure, it will also generate a suction force, and it will be dragged down by the vines and suction force in an instant.

Listening to Xia Daiti's words, Julia next to her swung her fish tail in the water.

Because the sea water is clear, you can clearly see the fine scales on the fish's tail under the sunlight, and the shimmering light shines through the sea water.

Julia moved the surrounding water with her hands.

Said: "These cavities can be detected through some changes in the water flow. The seawater above the cavities is different from the seawater above these vines with strong carrying capacity."

It is better to take a boat. A small boat can easily solve the inevitable life danger.

It can also make their driving in this area more comfortable.

Jason stood on the edge of the boat and kept observing the situation below the water.

The clarity of the sea water and the underwater clusters of vines and various aquatic plants that are not deep from the sea water are clearly visible under the sunlight.

"Are there too many sea fish here?" Jason turned to look at a few people and asked.

Moreover, in the gap between them and among various aquatic plants, Alka saw many sea fish swimming happily in it.

It's like a lively scene.

Especially around Julia, there were many sea fish, protecting her like guards.

She just stretched out her hand and touched the scales of the sea fish surrounding her.

“Those vines do make a nice ocean bed, don’t they,” Julia said with a smile.

They were driving on it.

But after all, the driving speed can't be much faster, even the Feiyan, which is known for its speed, still can't do it.

Because they cannot draft too deep, they must also control some spells to prevent the bottom of the boat from completely contacting the water plants and vines below.

This results in slower speeds.

"According to the current driving speed, it will take us about 10 days and nights to reach the island."

Hearing this, it was still within the range that everyone could accept.

It's just that this way of progress is a bit novel.

…

"If there is a situation, be careful."

Simon, who spent most of his time in the air in an aircraft, suddenly spoke up.

The Sentinel patrol plane above him in the sky around him detected movement in the distance.

Upon hearing this reminder, everyone below immediately became vigilant.

"Captain, do you need us to investigate?"

Jiu, who was fluttering his wings like a dragonfly, stood next to Lucilia and asked.

A pedal that can fly quickly is a good choice for detection in such a situation.

Hearing this, Alka next to him shook his head.

"No need, Simon's structure detection efficiency is enough in this environment."

The doll girls, who have a small body shape, subjective initiative and extremely flexibility, can't be used when their sight is blocked.

Be the best detective player.

With the endless Zehai sea surface, a patrol aircraft that can fly quickly at high altitude is obviously the best choice.

The main reason is that the few released are purely reconnaissance models... well, they are cheap.

I don’t feel bad if I lose.

"It's a humanoid creature, about 5 kilometers away from us in the 2:00 direction. It's far away and looks a little blurry.

He was riding a small boat, driving slowly in our direction. "

Simon reported the situation to everyone through the structure's remote investigator.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not move the structure any closer and just observed it from a relatively safe range.

Alka raised his right hand slightly and lightly snapped his fingers.

Pink mist spread out, diluted, and blended into the air.

However, the people in the same place did not notice any other changes.

Xia Detti looked at it when he lifted himself up, and finally thought of something, and asked: "You made us invisible?"

Alka nodded.

Although Xia Daiti at this stage can also make everyone invisible by controlling light.

But this method still has too many flaws.

The invisibility formed through the pink clouds of dreams is more deceptive and can deceive the senses to a certain extent.

As they stay put.

Simon also raised the reconnaissance structure in the sky higher and hid it.

After a while.

The person riding Xiaozhou was driving slowly in their direction.

This should be a humanoid creature, wearing clothes that look of good quality.

Under the sunlight, the clothes still shimmered, as if they could reflect light.

The clothes were close-fitting, and judging from the wrinkles and scars on his exposed arms, he seemed to be an old man.

The skin color looks a bit strange, giving people a gray-green feeling.

The boat he took was also very small, and could only hold about two people.

He was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a long fishing rod-like thing in his hand and waving it gently.

He could see that the water surface was undulating around him.

"It's a fish... There are many fish around him, and they are all of the same species."

Julia, who had noticed something, said.

After hearing this, everyone looked over and observed.

This person gave people the impression that he seemed to be...herding fish.

If he was fishing or fishing, his boat would not be clean and there would be no equipment for holding fish.

Alka silently put on a pair of glasses and looked around.

Look at the magic power next to the old man.

"The strength is not strong, probably in the second stage."

"Do you want to make contact?" Xia Daiti asked softly.

Hearing this, Alka nodded: "Go and get in touch."

After speaking, he waved his hand gently, and the pink weapons floating in the air slowly gathered and returned to Alka's hand.

Everyone also showed their figures.

Seeing the sudden appearance of everyone, the old man not far in front of them was obviously startled.

"Eh...ah!"

The already narrow canoe began to tilt under his violent sudden shaking.

He was so frightened that he fell directly into the water. The sudden movement frightened the densely packed fish swimming around him.

The entire sea surface began to fluctuate violently.

You can see countless fish leaping out of the sea.

He stood up quickly. Due to his height, only his upper body was exposed. He picked up the long pole in his hand and swung it quickly.

The fish below immediately calmed down under his wave.

The strange clothes on his body reflect a more obvious luster after being stained by water droplets.

Water droplets slid down his clothes.

This is some kind of waterproof clothing material.

It wasn't until the fish calmed down that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He moved his body slightly, exposing part of his body behind the boat, and looked at Alka and others.

"Who are you? Why do you suddenly appear here?"

The tone of his voice was a little strange, but Alka could understand what he said.

Because in the earliest times, this was what Lucilia said, and it was considered Lucilia's mother tongue.

A lingua franca derived from the sea of ​​living beings.

The people on the ship may not know other languages, but the lingua franca of the four sea areas and the language of the White Crocodile used to describe secret messages are the languages ​​​​that the people on the ship must learn.

So when this person speaks, everyone can understand him.

"Julia, go and communicate."

Hearing Alka's words, Julia nodded.

The language used by this person is the common language of the sea of ​​living beings, so it must have a certain connection with that sea.

This place is so full of life. If you say that this place has nothing to do with life, no one will believe it.

Shaking her fish tail, Julia slowly swam over.

At the same time, he opened his hands slightly, raised them and shook them, indicating that he was not carrying weapons and had no ill intentions.

He said softly: "We have no ill intentions, we just bumped into this area while sailing on the sea.

Come take a look if you are curious. "

Such situations are not uncommon.

After hearing this, the old man in front obviously believed it, and gradually relaxed his vigilance and stood up slightly.

The moment he stood up completely, his eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.

Pointing at Julia, she was trembling all over, with a look of horror on her face.

"You...you are human, mermaid."

As he spoke, they gradually turned from fear to anger. Under such mixed emotions, he held tightly the fishing rod-like thing in his hand.

To Julia.

Then he rushed towards Julia as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing this obviously offensive movement, the people behind were ready to take action.

Alka raised his hand slightly to stop everyone's actions.

"I'll do it, don't worry."

He said and jumped from the boat. With one leap, he jumped directly to Julia's side, then stretched out his hand and opened his five fingers to face the person rushing towards him.

Pink clouds protruded from his fingers and quickly surrounded his ears and head.

His originally angry and frightened mood immediately calmed down, and he stood there slightly confused.

Alka quickly turned to Julia and said, "Put the fish tail away quickly."

Julia nodded, and the fish tail turned into a pair of white and slender legs standing in the water.

Alka controlled the winding clouds and kept mumbling in the old man's ears.

"It's all a dream...it's all a dream. Everything just now was fake, just a nightmare..."

The pink cloud entangled it and dragged it to the back of the ship, allowing it to return to its previous posture and movements.

Finally, Alka immediately returned to where he was.

Gently raising his hand, the pink cloud that originally wrapped around the enemy's head immediately disappeared.

The eyes of the originally confused old man quickly returned to clarity, and he looked around at the situation with some confusion.

He rubbed his head without leaving any trace and looked at everyone.

Then he stood up slightly.

Before Julia could say anything, Alka walked over from the water.

"Don't worry, I'm from the Holy Mother Church."

After speaking, he slightly raised his right hand, and a faint ball of holy light appeared in his palm, spreading out the pure white light.

This is a relatively simple and signature spell of the Holy Mother Church. In addition to being able to dispel the evil in the surroundings, it only has the property of lighting.

As this scene appeared, everyone could clearly see that the old man changed from vigilance to relaxation.

He turned over and entered his boat.

"It turns out you are from the Holy Mother Church. Are you involved in Zehai?"

"Yes, but this time I met it and I happened to be curious about this area, so I decided to come up and take a look and gain some knowledge."

Hearing this, the old man nodded, smiled and waved the fishing rod in his hand.

The ship moved slowly.

"It's not very safe here. Come with me and I'll take you to the village."

Everyone faced each other, and at Alka's signal, they followed.
