Chapter Eight: The Servant Who Killed His Master II
The Black Pearl crossed directly into the river between the archipelago and reached the large island in the center of the archipelago.
The first feeling that everyone felt when they set foot on the island was that it was deserted. Deserted is not the ecology of the archipelago. In fact, the ecology of the archipelago is very lush. From the beach where everyone landed, there are flourishing vegetation, and there are even many plant species -
- For example, a strange tree that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with four huge leaves branching out from the top, and a grass that is also composed of four huge leaves with a purple fruit in the middle, etc. - no one has seen it before. Obviously,
They are not found inland.
The desolation here refers to human traces. Apart from these vegetation, they saw no other moving things on the island, let alone people, not even animals such as crabs and birds. The only creature on the coastline was a manatee, and a dead manatee.
, it should have been stranded here. The huge corpse was abandoned alone on the beach, giving off a stench.
Of course, no one would believe the statement given to them by the islands.
The Black Pearl is definitely not the first ship to land on this archipelago. Many slave-catching teams have been here, and they have different names for the archipelago. The name given to the archipelago by the Black Pearl is also a direct reference to the various islands on the archipelago.
The islands are numbered, and the central island where they are now is the number one island in the archipelago.
The presence of a large number of slave catching teams has also taught the barbarians living here to be cunning. They will not leave any traces or lay traps in any place where the slave catchers may land. The effect created is to
Let the slave catchers feel that there are no barbarian slaves here for them to capture and rob.
As a meeting gift, Marquis Marler Gobi commanded the two "Enemy Ship Devourers" of the Black Pearl to send six magic bullets to the center of Island No. 1. After the magic bullets hit the target, there was a violent roar and no smoke.
, replaced by a dazzling magical light and various vegetation lifted into the sky.
The one who provides the magic power for the "Enemy Ship Devourer" is Zat. Six magic bullets have exhausted all his magic power. This is the only thing he can pay for this plan. His and Crete's identities are unknown.
Allowing them to join in his plans.
It's night.
The mercenaries picked up simple fortifications on the beach, half of them stayed in place, and the other half divided into three teams to go deep into the island. Their task was simple, follow the map, there was no need to capture slaves, just rob them all
, and then follow the route indicated on the map to meet up with the other two teams and return to the Black Pearl.
Yes, a map. Zate also provided them with a map of the island. As for how the map was obtained, Feiya, Alanza and others did not ask.
In addition to these three teams, there is another team consisting of two people, Alanza and Cyril. According to the map, they will drive straight in and reach the residence of the Dragon Priest!
On the beach, watching the other teams enter the jungle, Aranza turned around, nodded to Fiya, and took Cyril into the jungle from the other direction. With Cyril around, the jungle was not difficult for them.
Just as Alanza judged, the desolation of the archipelago was just a symptom. After entering the jungle of Island No. 1, Alanza felt unfamiliar soul points more than once. However, since these soul points did not dare to show up, he would not waste time to remove them.
Catch him. However, Aranza joked to Cyril that if they cooperated in the slave-catching industry, they would definitely make huge profits.
The journey was uneventful. The two of them passed the other three teams in a blink of an eye and penetrated more than half of the island. With the cover of the other three teams and Cyril's jungle skills, the two of them successfully evaded the barbarians' detection and sneaked in secretly.
During this period, the two of them hid in the treetops many times, watching a large number of barbarian warriors running below them. Aranza noticed that these barbarians were dressed very similar to Cyril, with only a small amount of animal skins covering their secret places, and the rest.
His skin is exposed, and he also wears a mask on his face, but his masks are all made of wood, with different shapes, and various strange symbols engraved on the surface. According to the album that Aranza has seen before, their masks and dragon sacrifices
The masks are slightly similar, which also proves from the side that there is indeed a dragon sacrifice on this island.
The skin of these barbarians is dark, which is related to the climate of the archipelago. The Sea of Conquest is one of the birthplaces of the Double Sun. It is exposed to direct sunlight every day and is very hot. Compared with Cyril's fair skin, the two same styles
Dressing up is clearly on a different level, at least aesthetically speaking.
However, things will always go wrong, and plans will have unplanned aspects.
Just as the two of them escaped a wave of barbarian warriors and wanted to go deeper, a barbarian warrior riding a tiger-shaped mount discovered the two of them. One person and the other rode across the direction of the two people's progress.
"Well, it looks like there's going to be a fight!"
Aranza grinned, drew out the big sword on his back, half-hunched his body, and stared at the barbarian warrior in front of him. This barbarian warrior was obviously different from other barbarian warriors. The first thing was his mount. This was the only thing Aranza had seen so far.
There were barbarian warriors on mounts and runes on their bodies. This barbarian warrior’s body was covered with various symbols. Under the moon, the white symbols were extremely conspicuous. Judging from the arrangement of the symbols, this
Symbols are definitely not random creations.
The cold light appears!
While Aranza was speaking, Cyril had already lurked behind the barbarian warrior. The black body of the dagger refracted the cold light and bit the barbarian warrior's neck!
"roar!"
The barbarian warrior did not need to turn around at all. The tiger-shaped mount flicked its big tail and knocked Cyril to the ground. At the same time, the tiger-shaped mount turned around suddenly and nimbly. The barbarian warrior raised the spear in his hand, pointing the tip of the spear at Cyril.
chest!
"Damn it!"
Aranza cursed secretly, took two steps into one, rushed behind the tiger mount, slapped the tiger mount on the hip with the sword, and the brute force enchantment exploded, shockingly knocking the half-human tiger mount half a meter away!
Due to the loss of control of the mount, the barbarian warrior's spear suddenly lost its accuracy and almost stuck in the ground beside Cyril.
Cyril immediately jumped up and jumped to Aranza's side. The two formed a line and faced off against the barbarian warrior half a meter away. At such a close distance, Aranza could even feel that the tiger-shaped mount's breath was filled with strong nasal warmth.
!
"Ouch!"
At this time, the barbarian warrior suddenly let out a strange cry, jumped up from his tiger-shaped mount, and pointed at Aranza's head!
At the same time, the tiger-shaped mount suddenly charged forward, its bloody mouth emitting a fishy stench, and it also targeted Aranza!
Can't advance or retreat!
Aranza could either jump back to avoid the barbarian warrior's long barbarian attack, but the tiger-shaped mount would then bite his neck off; or he could raise his sword and smash the tiger-shaped mount's head open, but the cost would be that the barbarian warrior's spear would pierce through him.
The head dodges sideways! However, with Cyril on one side and a thick tree on the other, it is impossible to dodge!
