Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 100 I thought you were a serious person, but I didn't expect you to be too
After a full six hours of sailing, the time has quietly come to night.

They sailed out of the storm-shrouded sea, and the crimson moonlight fell through the clouds.

And not far in front of them, there is a huge island shrouded in layers of mist.

There is the destination of their trip!
That pristine island with the Blue Falcon and many other otherworldly creatures!
Alger's expression was refreshed, and the original tired expression was swept away.

Alger stared at the primitive island looming under the crimson moonlight, feeling extremely excited.

"There must be a blue shadow falcon on this island. I have seen it with my own eyes. Although I have never seen a longan sea eagle, there is a great possibility of existence!"

"If you're lucky, you might find traces of them on the periphery. In that case, you might not need to go deeper into it."

"boom!"

Not long after, the Youlan Avenger, which was gradually approaching the island, docked in the shallow sea near the island.

The sails were furled, and the anchors were thrown to the bottom of the sea to hold the ship in place.

"Ash."

Alger said, "Your silver knights, it's best to stay on the ship and keep watch."

"Ok?"

Ember cast a puzzled look.

"It's a ghost ship."

Arge explained somewhat helplessly, "Although I am its captain and have taken control of it, this ancient ship left over from the Tudor Dynasty still has some secrets that I cannot understand."

"For example, when it is left unattended, it will often intentionally create problems, or it will leave the waterway by itself and sail into dangerous sea areas. It is okay to say that it is in a safe waterway, but now..."

Alger smiled wryly.

There is a full six-hour voyage from here to the safe channel, and this voyage must be carried out in the case of a sea monster lurking storm, even if there is a ship, it may not be guaranteed to pass.

And suppose the ghost ship suddenly sails away from the island.

Those who lost their ships would most likely be trapped to death on this island.

After all, apart from the two of them, no one knows the coordinates of this island.

"no problem."

Ember nodded slightly. He didn't expect to rely on the Silver Knights for output, so it was just right for them to guard the ship.

Although even if there is no boat, he is not too worried.

Because he has the return bone piece, he can return to the campfire at any time.

But the returned bone fragment is different from other consumables, it is the burnt residue of the bones of the undead.

In the process of spreading the fire, he always had to use the return bone fragment to return to the campfire because of reasons such as falling off the cliff and being unable to return.

If it is in Rhodeland, find a few more undead people and burn them, there will always be residues left.

But in this world where there are no undead, there is no doubt that one piece is used less than one piece.

Therefore, Ember will not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

"rustle!"

The two boarded the island in a small boat, and their feet made a slight sound when they stepped on the soft sand.

In front of them was a dense green jungle.

It stands to reason that there should be many creatures inhabiting such a jungle, but in fact the environment here is very quiet, not to mention the sound of birds, howling wolves, and even the sound of insects, giving people a feeling of dead silence!

The island was shrouded in a hazy mist, and even the color of blood could only penetrate a little.

But this not only did not dispel the darkness of the forest and the central peak of the island, but instead gave them a dark and bloody flavor.

"now it is night."

Alger picked up the heavy box on the handle and explained, "During the daytime, it will be quite lively here. Those extraordinary creatures that have disappeared from the northern and southern continents will be very active, and the number is beyond your imagination."

"But at night, the power that dominates this place seems to change. Almost all extraordinary species will hide and wait until dawn to show up one after another."

"However, what we are going to hunt this time is the Blue Shadow Falcon. Although the rank of this extraordinary creature is only equivalent to Sequence 6, its speed is extremely fast. Even Extraordinary people of the same rank can only vaguely see what it left shadows, let alone hunting."

"So, I need to make some preparations in advance at night for hunting blue falcons during the day."

Ember nodded knowingly, didn't say much, just made a gesture of asking for permission.

He didn't know what arrangement Alger was going to make, so he couldn't help much.

Just walking aside, holding a lantern to help illuminate the nearby roads.

Alger didn't dare to go too deep into the jungle, he just walked around the periphery of the island along the beach.

Then, one kilometer away from the Youlan Avenger, he put down the box in his hand.

"Snapped!"

Alger lifted the wooden board on the top of the wooden box, and at the same time revealed the contents inside.

Looking at the past with the faint light of the fire, it seems to be a living person!

"This is a murloc."

Seemingly afraid that Ember might misunderstand, Alger explained without looking back.

Ember raised the lantern a little, allowing the light to illuminate the inside of the box, and he could see the whole picture of that 'person' clearly.

It's not so much a human, it's better to say it's a fish monster with a human shape——

Like a huge fish with strong limbs, there are obvious webs in the gaps between the hands and feet.

With round eyes and gills on the cheeks, it looks like a monster in legends.

And even though the monster is curled up, it can be seen that its height may exceed two meters when it stands upright!

But at this time, this extremely ferocious monster seemed extremely tired, and his body was covered with cuts and bruises, as if he had suffered some inhuman torture before his death.

While dragging the murloc out of the box with ease, Alger patiently explained, "For extraordinary creatures, their favorite food is other species that are also extraordinary creatures."

"As for the vast majority of extraordinary bird creatures in the sea, their favorite food is murlocs."

As he said that, Alger smiled again, "Of course, for humans, murlocs are also quite good as a food, and their meat is very delicious."

"But unfortunately, since the murloc's swim bladder is the main material of Sequence 9 'Sailor', the murlocs in the offshore area have almost been hunted down, and only a small part is left to be raised by the Church of Storms. So in general , even pirates who specialize in sea activities are hard to come across.”

"Tsk."

After listening to Alger's description, Ember couldn't help but clicked her tongue.

"Would you like to taste it?"

Alger raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile, "Although it's still useful, cutting off a part of it won't have much impact. Tonight's dinner can also be richer."

"Do not."

Ember shook her head, and said with a slightly regretful tone, "It's just that these murlocs are different from what I imagined."

"..."

Alger's expression instantly became extremely weird.

I thought you were a serious person, but I didn't expect you to be an LSP?

Alger's expression quickly returned to calm, and he said leisurely, "You should imagine a mermaid, right? The upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish, and the one with a pure and charming appearance."

"I have to remind you that mermaids and murlocs are two different species. And I can tell you responsibly that mermaids are exactly as you imagined."

"Many nobles even spent a lot of money to buy a living mermaid. As for the purpose of these mermaids..."

Alger gave Ember a look that you understood, and said in a somewhat regretful tone, "But unfortunately, mermaids are rarer than murlocs. For most people, mermaids almost only exist in legends."

"I've never seen a mermaid with my own eyes, and I've never heard of any rumors that a mermaid was captured alive."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Ember thought thoughtfully, "Didn't you say that few people set foot on this primitive island? Maybe there are mermaids inhabiting here."

"That's even more impossible."

Alger shrugged, "As I said before, the favorite food of most birds and supernatural beings in the sea is murlocs. But in fact, mermaids are far more popular than murlocs, but the number of mermaids is too rare , so those extraordinary creatures can only choose the murloc as the next best thing."

"Even if there are mermaids living here, I'm afraid they've been eaten up by those extraordinary creatures on the island long ago. You can only find the fish scales left by them at most."

"Tsk, what a waste of money."

Alger shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed.

"One thing to say, indeed."

Ember nodded seriously.

Mermaids are hugely popular, both among humans and otherworldly beings, but in very different directions.

Although it will be regarded as a plaything on the human side.

But in the eyes of extraordinary creatures, that is food through and through.

For both parties, the way the other party treats the mermaid can be described in four words——

A violent thing!
Human: How can such a good thing be eaten?

Extraordinary creature: How can such a good thing not be eaten?
The trap that Alger set up was not so subtle, it wasn't even a trap at all.

He just randomly threw the murloc on the beach, and then created the illusion that the murloc was accidentally stranded.

As for the traps he set up, in fact, they can only be regarded as better than nothing.

After all, what they want to hunt is an extraordinary creature, and it is an extraordinary creature comparable to Sequence 6!
It's impossible to say how much effect these ordinary traps can play, and they still have to take action by themselves in the end.

The focus of this trap is the murloc bait.

As long as there is this bait, there is no need to worry about those extraordinary creatures not taking the bait.

of course.

It can only depend on luck whether the one who takes the bait is the extraordinary creature they want.

"We have to hide first."

Alger set up the trap, stood up and looked around, and said, "I'm going to lurk in the forest over there to make sure that the murloc won't be snatched away by something at night."

After a pause, Alger continued, "You can go back to the boat to rest for a while, and just come back before five o'clock in the morning."

"Need not."

Ember thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There are only a few hours left before dawn, I'll wait with you."

"Row."

Alger nodded, it is natural that Ember is willing to stay and help.

He first observed the surrounding environment, went straight to the forest near the beach, found a bush where he could hide his figure and squatted down.

"Birds and extraordinary creatures mostly have outstanding visual abilities."

Alger warned, "So we must make sure that we hide well enough that they will never be discovered. In addition, their sense of hearing is also quite good, so it's best not to make any noise during the incubation period."

"If you mean this aspect."

Ember showed a clear face, reached out and took out two rings.

Alger hesitated to speak, stopped talking and wanted to speak, and said weakly, "Won't you tell me that these two rings just have this function?"

"almost."

Ember pointed to the two rings on the palm of his hand, and briefly introduced two sentences, "Phantom limb rings can hide the wearer's figure from a distance, and the distance is about five meters. As long as the target is five meters away, it can ensure Completely 'invisible'."

"Slumbering Dragon Emblem Ring, which can eliminate the sound made by the wearer."

"..."

Alger's mouth twitched.

One for vision and one for hearing.

The two rings cooperate with each other to achieve perfect stealth.

If the effect is really as strong as Ember described, then as long as the two rings are worn, as long as they are five meters away from the target, they will not be able to detect it even if they face each other.

Where did he get so many weird rings with various magical effects?
"Don't you need it?"

Alger saw Ember reaching out to hand over the two rings, and asked subconsciously.

But when he noticed the ten rings on the ten fingers of Ember's hands, he fell completely silent.

The ten rings were of different styles, and two of them happened to be exactly the same as the one that Ember handed over.

As for the other eight rings, Alger didn't know them.

He didn't ask much, just took the ring silently and put it on his finger.

The effect of the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring was immediate, and all the sounds he made were eliminated after wearing it.

As for the phantom ring...

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Alger took a few steps back tentatively, counting the distance silently in his heart.

At the moment when he counted to five, the embers that were close at hand completely disappeared before his eyes.

There was only a pile of grass where the embers were originally, and he couldn't see anything else.

And when he took another small step forward, embers reappeared in his realization.

And the cause of all these changes is only a distance of five meters!
"What are its side effects?"

Alger walked back to Ember's side and couldn't help asking.

"Same as the sacrificial ring."

Argel fell silent after receiving the answer, because he remembered that there was only one side effect when Ember introduced the 'Sacrifice Ring', and that was that it had to be worn all the time to take effect.

Compared to other magical items, this so-called 'side effect' is completely negligible.

and……

Alger subconsciously looked at Ember's hands.

The ten rings have different styles, which can be called a dazzling array.

but.

Only there is no sacrifice ring.

This made Alger doubt his life.

After all, in his eyes, no matter how useful these rings are, they are not as good as the sacrifice ring.

After all, the latter is a real second life!
But Ember did not carry the sacrifice ring, and judging from his previous attitude.

His disdain for the sacrificial ring also seemed to be revealed in his words.

"Is it self-confidence? Or other reasons?"

Alger was a little puzzled, but he didn't delve into it, after all, it was someone else's secret.

……

As time went by, the crimson moonlight gradually completely disappeared in the sky.

The warm sun drilled out of the clouds and sprinkled its brilliance on the earth without hesitation.

But even the sun, its light is also blocked by the deposited fog, and can only penetrate a little.

But it was the little sunshine that fell on the island, like some kind of signal, that instantly revived the originally dead island.

"rustle!"

"Squeak!"

"Ow!"

"Wow!"

The chirping of insects, the sound of wind blowing leaves, the chirping of birds, and the howling of wolves seemed to be gradually revived.

A large number of extraordinary creatures began to appear one by one.

Most of them hide in the jungle and start hunting other supernatural creatures while carefully hiding themselves.

Ember and the two stood on the edge of the forest, closely watching the murloc on the beach not far away.

Until they heard the sharp chirping of a bird.

In the sky, a blue shadow flashed past.

However, it should have disappeared from the sight of the two of them in the blink of an eye like a sharp arrow shuttle, but it did not leave, but began to hover in the air continuously.

"coming!"

Alger looked happy, "That's the Blue Shadow Falcon!"

Alger's eyes were filled with surprise, it seemed that their luck was pretty good.

It was just dawn, and they didn't have to wait long for the Blue Shadow Falcon to arrive.

The other party obviously noticed the murloc on the beach, and the current hovering was just testing and observing.

As long as it is sure that there is no danger around it, it will take the initiative to come down.

Alger stared nervously at the blue shadow.

The speed of the Blue Shadow Falcon is really too fast, and it is also an extraordinary creature that can fly.

If it doesn't hit the ground, Alger doesn't have the confidence to catch it at all.

"Wow!"

at last.

The blue falcon hovering in the sky for a long time seemed to have finally determined that there was no danger nearby, flapping its wings and flying towards the murloc on the beach at a reduced speed.

Alger's expression became more and more excited. He was already ready to rush out as soon as the Blue Shadow Falcon landed!
If there is no accident, he will be able to harvest the first main material needed for this trip in a few minutes.

however.

Not surprisingly, that is impossible.

"Wow!"

The Blue Shadow Falcon had already slowed down and landed towards the ground. Originally, it was so fast that only its shadow could be seen, but now Alger could see its whole picture clearly.

But when the opponent was less than three meters away from the murloc, another cry came from the sky.

A huge bald eagle appeared above the sky at some unknown time!

"Longyan sea eagle!"

Alger instantly recognized the white sea eagle, which was exactly another main material he needed.

In just a few minutes, the two extraordinary creatures he wished to hunt appeared one after another.

This is a good thing.

But it may not be a good thing.

"Wow!"

Sure enough, the moment the longan sea eagle appeared, the blue shadow falcon that was about to land was immediately frightened.

His eyes instantly became terrified, and he flapped his wings in a panic and quickly lifted into the air.

It jumped into the sky almost in the blink of an eye, leaving only shadows.

Only Alger, whose heart was bleeding, was left blankly in place, extremely distressed.

The first time he met the blue shadow falcon, and the first time he met the longan sea eagle, these things made him very happy.

Two happy things coincide.

And these two happiness can bring him more happiness.

What I got should have been a happy time like a dream...

But why, would it become like this?

"It's over, it's over."

Alger had a bitter expression on his face, the extraordinary creatures hovering in the air were simply not something he could deal with.

It was almost a death sentence for the purpose of his trip.

However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from his ear.

"Flying is prohibited here!"

"Wow!"

Amidst the two shrill screams, the blue shadow falcon and the huge white-headed raptor lost their ability to fly at the same time, screaming and falling heavily from the sky to the ground.

In an instant, with the 'crash' of the two raptors, the ground was splashed with mud and blood was flying.

Alger didn't know how Ember did it.

But he knows what to do!
Alger's figure rushed towards the two crashed raptors like swift arrows.

Instead of looking for the longan sea eagle which was closer, he rushed to the blue shadow falcon which was farther away.

Because they are faster than the latter, once they recover, the speed of escape will make them unable to react.

Holding it in his hand, a short dagger appeared out of nowhere, stabbing fiercely at Lanying Falcon's neck!

These avian supernatural beings are absolute masters in the sky.

But on land, they are not even as good as a plucked pheasant!
"Wow!"

Amidst the screams of the Blue Shadow Falcon, the short dagger pierced its neck and cut its trachea.

Blood gushed out in an instant.

In just over ten seconds, the Blue Shadow Falcon was already dead.

And the other side.

At some point, he took out the Dark Moon Longbow, and an arrow precisely pierced the neck of the Longyan Sea Eagle.

One hit kill.

"call."

Alger heaved a sigh of relief, and instead of looking at the blue shadow falcon that was gradually losing its vitality, he rushed towards the longan sea eagle instead.

Under the staring eyes of the other party, carefully gouged out its eyes.

And in the process.

Light spots floated on the body of the dead Blue Shadow Falcon, and six crystalline feathers condensed on the wings.

But even so, Alger, who should have been very excited, found himself in a trance.

It's been less than 10 minutes since dawn.

All the two Extraordinary materials he needed were already in hand.

How does it feel like a dream?
Alger looked aside at Ember who was leisurely drawing arrows from Longyan Sea Eagle.

His eyes fell on a pocket watch in the opponent's hand.

Intuition told him that the magical item was the key.

Ember noticed Alger's gaze, and explained casually, "The concerto of light and shadow, which can use a certain extraordinary ability of the arbitrator sequence, is a trophy I obtained from a extraordinary person in the royal family."

【Concerto of Light and Shadow】

[Pocket watch that can use the ability of lawyers and arbitrators.

Combat Techniques: Prohibition and Deprivation
Prohibition of certain behaviors within a certain range,
It is also possible to 'deprive' a certain ability of the target,

provided that the resulting restrictions do not exceed two;
Combat Skills: Gift and Twist
Directly 'gift' a certain negative status to the target,
effects that distort' the target's language, actions, intentions, and attacks,
Let fatal wounds become grievous wounds, blows into pushes.

This pocket watch is a mixture of extraordinary characteristics of lawyers and arbitrators.

If you are not lucky enough,

It also has some hidden side effects. 】

"A booty?"

Alger seemed to understand something.

I only thought that the embers were obtained from the Extraordinary of Kapin Villa.

Although I am a little envious, but after all, I got it by my ability.

"Ash, I think..."

Argel sorted out his language, just about to say something.

But in the next second, a low roar suddenly came from beside his ear.

"Roar!"

Alger's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the jungle behind him.

There, dozens of pairs of gloomy eyes were staring at them.
