"We have brought everything we can, what should we do next?"
Monica packed up all the portable food found in the airship wreckage, and then asked Goron expressionlessly. The food includes a lot of dried meat and fried flour, as well as a small amount of dried vegetables and non-perishable fruits. Even if this amount of food is saved, it can only sustain four people for two to three days. It seems that Fairy Tale has no intention of preparing sufficient supplies for them. But this is not a problem. At least for an ogre, there are mountains, seas, and in the worst case, there are several living and dead people. There is no way that Gronn will be hungry easily. die.
However, the tension among everyone seemed to have eased. Maybe it’s because a desperate situation can drastically change a person’s personality, or maybe in this kind of isolated and helpless predicament, it’s easier for people to temporarily let go of their knots and hatred and open their hearts. In any case, this team led by Goron The discordant team finally communicated through words and actions.
No matter what the purpose of the fairy tale is, in short, they are undoubtedly trapped on this uninhabited island. Even if Goron has not told others about the terrifying legends about this island that he knows, everyone can I could feel the faint malice emanating from this paradise on earth beneath my feet.
"I smell the excrement of carnivorous beasts. This island seems to be inhabited by large beasts, even monsters, but this is nothing. Since we were thrown here, it means that this is not a place for vacation. We We don’t know anything about this place, and it is dangerous to act hastily. Since there is no time limit for completing the mission, we are not in a hurry. We will spend the night at the beach today. The wreckage of this airship can be used, and we can build a simpler defense. Once the fortifications are out, even if you encounter any danger, you won’t be too passive. Let’s wait until tonight to start exploring the island.”
Having said that, there is actually no one here who is more eager to complete this task than Gron, but the more times like this. He knew better than to act rashly. This small island is as beautiful as the peninsula bay where he lived before, and even the fishy smell of the sea is almost exactly the same, but the more it is like this, the chillier Goron feels in his heart. He didn't lie just now. He did smell the scent of a large beast in the wind. Goron was even able to identify what kind of beast it was. However, when he secretly activated his second divine power to explore the island, he searched the island and found no living creatures. That's right, not to mention large beasts, not even a small bird or a mouse was found, including of course that damn old bird King Kong Barbie. However, under the clairvoyant effect of the second divine power, nothing was gained. Then Goron quickly noticed an even weirder fact, that is, he didn't hear any sound.
There was no sound of wind, no sound of water, and no sound of animals. The entire island seemed to be covered with a false veil, and everything you saw in front of you was not real.
The second divine power can enhance both vision and hearing. It also has the ability to see through illusions and latent shadows. The occurrence of this situation can only mean that there is a problem with one's own power. If the problem does not come from oneself, it is interfered by the outside world. And it was not that his ability was sealed, but that he was deceived, causing Goron to get false information. This was the first time Goron encountered this situation. Intuition is also telling Goron that there is something hidden on this island that can change his destiny.
Now in this team, Marvin's fear of Goron has reached its peak. He completely obeyed Gron's words and did not dare to violate anything. The original goodwill and subtle affection between Monica and Gron was crushed to pieces by Gron himself. Now it is replaced by a faint hatred and love. Dependence with no choice. As for Kaka. This girl, Goron, can't figure it out, but she is still cooperative now, and she only carries out Goron's orders silently.
Everyone here is not weak in strength, even Monica, the archer, has a second-level mid-range level, and Goron, the ogre, is extremely powerful and fast. With the wreckage of the airship as the center, a very simple seaside camp was built. There was no cannon tower here, but a lot of pits were dug and surrounded by huge sharpened wooden fences.
Although no one raised any objections, everyone actually doubted Goron's order. If there was an attack, ordinary beasts and monsters would not be looked at at all by these people. They would kill as many as they came and would not be used at all. These fortifications, but if high-level monsters or even giant dragons come, then these simple gadgets will not be of use. Gronn can see the doubts in everyone's hearts, but he is too lazy to explain.
At night, everyone lit a bonfire on the beach by the sea. The flames kept jumping, and the faces of Goron and several other people reflected in it flickered. No one spoke, everyone seemed to be waiting quietly for something. Precisely because no one knows what will happen next second, the pressure becomes particularly clear and real.
This is destined to be a restless night. In the distance, dolphins can be seen jumping out of the water, as if chasing the beautiful moonlight splashing on the sea. But the forest in front of everyone was shrouded in endless darkness. At this time, everyone felt the strangeness of this island, because no sense could penetrate the darkness of this forest.
However, the initial strangeness did not come from the dark forest in front of them. At first, it was a disembodied singing voice that reached everyone's ears. This singing voice was so beautiful that those who heard the singing could not help but be immersed in this beautiful melody. , looked around and saw a brightly lit ship on the sea approaching here. This ship has a simple and luxurious appearance, using an ancient sail-like structure. There are people on the deck, as if a moonlight cocktail party is being held, and the beautiful and melodious music is coming from this ship.
Goron, like the other three, could not escape this wonderful temptation. Suddenly, an extremely strong sting came from his fingers, which shocked Goron's mind. He successfully woke up from the charm, and Goron's eyes Sweeping from the finger, the pain that directly affects the soul comes from the ordinary ring on the finger. This is one of the trophies Gron brought back from the abyss of hell, but this ring has always been There was no difference. When Gron placed it in the tattoo space, Gron didn't know when the ring was put on his finger.
Ignoring the ring, Goron found that except for himself, the other three people had already stood up and walked towards the sea with a look of confusion on their faces. Marvin, who was walking at the front, had the sea water already flooding his mouth. nose. However, he continued to move forward as if he didn't realize it, and was about to be completely submerged by the sea water.
Gronn's eyes were sharp, and he rushed forward, lifted up the hair of the three of them, and threw them back to the bonfire. Gron's shot was extremely heavy. He just planned to wake the three of them up with pain. This method seemed to be quite effective. Except for Marvin, the other two girls showed bewildered and frightened expressions after a period of painful massage, and their eyes returned to clarity. Only Marvin suddenly got up with a crazy look on his face and rushed towards the sea again. Gronn was not polite and hit him hard on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, and then tied him tightly with the ship's cable at hand.
After doing all this, an angry scream suddenly came from the sea. The sound was so harsh that it was like a sharp cone piercing the ear hole.
Gronn has had a lot of dealings with the Siren Banshee. This kind of human-faced harpy demi-human is very good at sonic attacks. Gronn is very experienced in how to deal with it, or directly how to kill the Siren. He reached out and grabbed two handfuls of sand and stuffed it directly into his ears, then blocked his ears with both hands and opened his mouth to shout. Suddenly, the killing effect of the harsh sound waves was greatly alleviated. At this time, Gron looked towards the sea again and was stunned. After taking a deep breath of air conditioning, I saw hundreds of human heads floating densely on the sea. Each of these heads had long dead gray hair, and their faces were as haggard as zombies. However, these heads did not seem to have no will to float on the water. It's like a person underwater deliberately raising his head above the water. A pair of dark red eyes in the deep-set eyes were looking at Goron angrily.
Gron activated his second divine power and looked under the water. I actually saw plump and voluptuous female bodies connected under the heads of these zombies. Looking further down, I saw that these bodies were fish bodies from the waist down.
It's a mermaid, and the part of the mermaid that emerged from the water turned into a zombie.
After a while. The terrifying screams of the zombie mermaid finally stopped. Kaka and Monica, who were imitating Goron and yelling like a cat, also withstood the sonic attack, but they were all bleeding from their orifices, and they were obviously seriously injured.
Monica managed to pick up the long bow, pointed the arrow at the mermaid on the water and asked Goron: "What should we do? Do we want to fight back?"
"Wait!" Goron raised his hand to wipe away the blood flowing from his nostrils, and said coldly: "Don't attack yet. The mermaid can't get to the shore, and your bow and arrow should have no effect."
Kaka next to him suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and pointed towards the sea: "The mermaid can't get to the shore, but what about that one?"
Kaka was referring to that ship, but after Goron broke through the mermaid's charming voice, the ship also revealed its true side.
The black and decaying hull, the sails full of holes, the bow of the ship is a monster that is not a human bird, black smoke clouds cover the sea near the ship, and the entire ship exudes a terrifying aura of death...
"It's a ghost ship!" Monica screamed horribly, Kaka knelt down weakly, and even Goron was trembling, not only because of fear, but also because of the excitement of witnessing the legend with his own eyes.
The ghost ship "Rainbow Bird" is an immortal legend that has been circulating on the sea for thousands of years...
It will suddenly appear in a certain sea area every few decades, and then wander around, bringing death. Whether it's a sailor, a merchant, a fisherman, or a pirate... For anyone who lives on the sea, the ghost ship Rainbow Bird is a term that has to be familiar, because it means disaster, a real disaster, even tsunamis, Typhoons, submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and sea monster attacks are the most powerful natural disasters that cannot be compared to it. The only outcome of encountering the rainbow bird is the ship being destroyed and people being killed. For thousands of years, people who have seen the rainbow bird have survived, and the number of people who have spread the terror of the rainbow bird is less than three digits.
There used to be countless people who wanted to conquer the Rainbow Bird and solve the mystery surrounding this ghost ship. There is also a legend that the most precious secret treasure in the world is hidden on the Rainbow Bird. Those who get this secret treasure can rule the seven seas. . However, everyone who tried to take advantage of the Rainbow Bird died, whether it was the Knights of the Sea from the Holy See of Holy Light, the Vikings, a large maritime country that once dominated the Seven Seas, or the Grand Magister Expedition Group from the Seven Towers Alliance...
No matter who it is, no matter how powerful the empire, organization, or legendary strongman is, they all suffered a bloody blow on the ghost ship "Rainbow Bird". No one can come back alive after trying to get close to the Rainbow Bird, including A sixth-level Grand Magister and a Holy See Pope.
The last time Gron heard the name Rainbow Bird was from his subordinate and ally, the big slave merchant Cameron. At that time, he was forced by the pirate empress, the blood-stained Sanga, to participate in the operation related to the Rainbow Bird. Cameron shied away in every possible way, and finally sought refuge with Goron. Later, the blood-stained pirate fleet of Sanga was annihilated by the Sea Knights of the Holy See. Even Sanga himself was missing, and no one mentioned this matter again. Gron did not expect that he would encounter this "nightmare of the sea" at the initial stage of the mysterious mission entrusted by Fairy Tale... (~^~)
