"You should have noticed, right?" After walking for a while in the dense forest, Mad Eye, who was leading the way, suddenly muttered something, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
"You go your way, we know that." Two seconds later, Nesru, who was following behind him, took the opportunity, and then turned back calmly, winking at Brother Suantou and the others.
Brother Suantou also understood, and immediately slowed down, waiting for the pirates beside him to pass by, and slowly walked to Blackbeard's side.
"Captain." Brother Suantou just called out to the captain, and Blackbeard said directly, "It's okay, if you encounter any situation, you can play by ear, cut first and play later."
"Yes." Hearing this, Brother Suantou respectfully promised, and then rushed up again.
In the eyes of others, the conversations of these guys may be a bit unintelligible and inexplicable, but the parties involved are very clear that they are discussing the same thing—there must be someone else in this forest.
Broken branches, overturned rocks on both sides of the road, trails of dragging heavy objects, etc., from the traces left in the woods, it can be inferred that a large group of people should have collected various materials in this forest just recently , and moved somewhere.
Although I don't know if they want to hoard supplies or create some kind of facility, but no matter what the situation is... the possibility that this group of people will still stay within the scope of Jumo Island is very high.
In other words... as "latecomers", pirates may encounter or even conflict with these unknown people at any time.
...
buzz—
The bad situation happened five minutes later.
With a strange muffled sound, Mad Eye's footsteps stopped.
"It's a magic circle." Crazy Eye remained calm, even though he was wearing handcuffs and his combat power was restricted, the demeanor of the captain was still there.
"You don't move yet." Nesru quickly saw that Mad Eye's right foot had stepped into the edge of a huge magic circle, so he quickly opened his arms and stopped his companions behind him; The expedition team also stagnated for a while.
"Huh..." Crazy Eye sneered, and raised the shackles on his hands, "Do you think I dare to shrink back and forth like this?"
Nesru ignored him, just looked around in the woods to the left and right, and then stepped forward to check the magic circle.
At this time, the triggered magic circle was emitting a faint light, and there was a slight "buzzing" sound continuously; if you took a closer look, you could see that some runic light streams appeared in the air directly above the magic circle. The line faintly flows, and on the ground, there are relatively clear light patterns floating.
Nesru looked out along the edge of the magic circle, and found that the arc of the edge was very small, extending far away... From this, it can be seen that the magic circle covers a very huge range in front of it.
"You can understand?" Seeing Nesru's focused expression, Crazy looked forward to it for a while.
"No, I don't understand at all." Nesru didn't beat around the bush, and took advantage of the situation to give a very honest answer.
"Then are you pretending to look at me?" Crazy Eye was not polite to him, even though he was a prisoner, he still said what he wanted to say, and scolded him whenever he wanted.
"Heh... It's normal to look at it." Before Neslu could reply, Feng Bujue's voice sounded, "It's like those people whose engines exploded, they obviously don't understand any mechanical principles, but they can also prop up The hood, standing there looking at it for a long time... as if you can fix the car just by looking at it."
While talking, Brother Jue has already come up from behind.
Crazy Eyes turned back to look at him, and snorted coldly: "Huh... Look at your leisurely attitude of rambling, I think you can understand it, right?"
"Of course." Feng Bujue replied.
In fact, Feng Bujue could really "understand" the magic circle this time; even if he didn't "hardly analyze" it from the perspective of data, he could still understand the principle.
because…
"This is one of the induction circles of the Illusory Demon Church." Brother Jue said as he walked up to Crazy Eye, and suddenly patted Crazy Eye's back without warning.
Crazy Eye was also caught off guard by this sudden move, and was immediately pushed forward and staggered a few steps forward, entering the magic circle.
"What are you doing?" Crazy Eyes, who stood still again, suddenly turned around, glared at Brother Jue and roared.
"I'm just telling you with actions that this magic circle is not offensive." Feng Bujue replied calmly.
When the words fell, Crazy Eyes also belatedly looked down at himself, he did not suffer any harm
"Then you can come in by yourself! Why are you pushing me?" Crazy Eye was still a little depressed, so he said something more.
"This is what I said... What if I make a mistake in my judgment? It's better for you to die than mine." Feng Bujue proved it with actions... Arguing with him will only make you more and more depressed.
When Crazy Eye heard it, the one with the beard blowing and the staring eyes jumped up with anger.
Feng Bujue didn't want to continue teasing this honest prisoner on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject: "To put it bluntly, this is like a thin string with a bell on it, and it's mainly used to inform the formation... Someone has entered the range of the magic circle."
"How do you know so clearly?" Crazy Eye asked again.
Brother Jue shrugged: "I once asked Talliom, who was in charge of this area, to show and explain to me the graphics and functions of all the regular magic circles of the Phantom Demon Church. There are certain rules, and I can draw some of them.”
"I hear what you mean... Do you have friendship with the Illusory Demon Church?" Crazy Eyes asked tentatively.
"Yes, yes." Feng Bujue said, he also walked into the magic circle, and gave Nesru a wink, meaning that he could move on, "However, that kind of friendship... may not be at a critical moment. believable."
Nesru received his instructions, and signaled the people behind to follow up, so the team started walking again.
"Hmph... are you using each other?" Crazy Eye also walked on the road again, asking as he walked.
"Almost." Feng Bujue said, "My philosophy is that as long as there is no absolute conflict in principle, when the interests are the same, they can cooperate."
"Hehe... It sounds like Blackbeard and you are in this kind of relationship now." Crazy Eye is also a sophisticated person, and immediately revealed the truth.
"I don't need to bother you." Feng Bujue didn't react too much to these words, and continued calmly, "Right now, you'd better try to survive this situation first."
When the two were talking, the pirate expedition team of thirty people had already entered the range of the magic circle.
From this place, Feng Bujue left his original position and came to the front of the team, almost side by side with Mad Eye.
Because of his relationship with the Phantom Demon Church, he would definitely save a lot of trouble by letting him "show his face" in front.
It's true to say so, but...
...
In an increasingly tense atmosphere, the team advanced for another ten minutes; just as the surrounding forest was getting denser, a change... happened.
call out-
"Be careful!" When Nesru shouted, a magic arrow pierced the wind.
This arrow was shot from the woods in front of everyone, and it was unbiased, and it went straight to Feng Bujue's face.
Brother Jue is not in a panic. With his reaction speed and the help of zero-day calculation, there are countless ways to dodge such an attack at this speed; Being affected, Brother Jue cautiously used [One Finger of Consonance], and directly clamped the magic arrow.
"I said..." When the magic arrow dissipated, Feng Bujue turned his head and said loudly into the forest, "Before you do it, you should have a better look, you should recognize me, right?"
After he finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds, but only silence responded to him.
"What's wrong?" Brother Jue saw that the attacker didn't respond, and continued, "You think I'm impersonating, aren't you sure?"
But after the second question, there was still no movement in the woods.
At this moment, Feng Bujue faintly sensed something...
"Withdraw!" A second later, Brother Jue's expression changed, and he turned his head and shouted at the pirates behind him.
Unfortunately, it was a bit late for him to shout.
Almost at the same time as he said the word "withdraw", a burst of strong light burst out from behind the team and shot straight into the sky.
Violent light energy spewed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption, forming a cylindrical beam of light that soared into the sky, and expanded rapidly, carrying out an indiscriminate and terrifying blow to everything in this area.
After the light explosion, looking down at the North Island from a high altitude, it can be seen that... this island has been blasted into a perfect circular gap, and the boiling sea water in the gap is still billowing with thick smoke. (.)
