Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 232 Completion of Phase One
When he first came to this small area, he didn't pay attention to it.

But when he had already entered one of the people's dreams and walked around, he realized the difference between here and the surroundings.

In such an environment, the surrounding area is actually very... quiet.

There are too obvious differences between here and the surroundings.

The dream bubbles of the island residents outside, almost every bubble, there are various dream creatures trying to break the bubbles and absorb the energy inside.

Although there are very few creatures that can really break the bubble, or even open a gap, there are extremely many creatures that work hard for it.

There is only one outside a bubble, which can already be regarded as a small number.

This lap, however, is clearly not the case.

The dream bubbles formed by the members of the merchant ship who had just arrived on the island were out of place with the surroundings.

Not a single dream creature tried to approach.

A simple circle around Alka found that the problem came from the biggest dream bubble in the center.

It should be the leader of this team, or the captain.

The size of that bubble is about the same size as Alka's dream bubble, which means at least a person at the peak of the second stage or even the third stage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look into the distance, where there was also a dream bubble that was similar in appearance to this bubble, or even a little bigger.

Those dream bubbles are the strongest people on this island.

Specifically, Alka only knew that he was the mayor of the town.

But even for them, there are still dream creatures trying to destroy their dream bubbles.

Obviously, this is not the reason for strength.

but other issues.

After a brief thought, Alka grabbed a dream creature not far away, and slowly floated towards the middle sphere with it.

From the moment it started moving in this direction, the dream creature in its hand had already begun to struggle.

Acting a little... Reluctant.

When Alka held it and was almost completely close to the central dream bubble, the dream creature stopped struggling instead.

He shrank into a ball directly, not wanting to face it at all.

Looking at the light and shadow in his hand, Alka thought for a while, then let go of his hand.

The moment he let go of his hand, the light and shadow immediately turned into a sharp arrow-like object, and fled away quickly.

"Sure enough, something in this dream bubble is deterring these surrounding creatures."

Thinking of this, Alka turned his head.

To be honest, he now has a little desire to enter this bubble to find out.

But apparently that's not possible right now.

The owner of this dream bubble must have some ability or something that can protect his dreams.

Not to mention his strength is powerful.

After thinking about it, a mirror surface appeared on Alka's face.

Then, in the mirror on his face, the figure of the god of death appeared in the dream.

The ball at the waist appeared, light and shadow spread out, and the cloak of light and shadow covered Arka's body.

A black sickle was condensed in his hand, and he slashed at the dream bubble in front of him without hesitation.

"when!"

It was like hitting metal.

There was a tenacious sound on the bubble.

Sure enough, even his own dreams are well protected.

Alka could feel that this bubble was coated with a layer of strange energy to protect the strength of the dream bubble.

The pink mist floated out and drifted towards the bubble film in front of him.

Yet all the mist is kept out.

The bubbles of this dream are repelling.

Everything that does not belong to this bubble is rejected, that is to say, even if Alka wants to enter the dream bubble, he will still be blocked.

After thinking about it, I reached out.

However, it was as if the hand had touched a solid stone wall, and it couldn't be reached at all.

Looking at the bubble in front of him, Alka marked it and left directly.

There is nothing to test anymore, and it can be confirmed that there are indeed people or forces in the boundless sea who have mastered the ability to protect their own dream bubbles.

But only this person's bubble is like this.

The surrounding bubbles did not change like this.

But the deterrent power emitted by a person's bubble is enough to dispel a large circle of dreamland around it.

And the place where his crew rested was so precisely located within the deterrent range in the dream.

Then the captain in the middle must know that he has this ability, and he deliberately arranged his crew to rest within a certain range.

Since you can't get any information, get it from the surrounding bubbles.

Alka picked one and got in.

In this way, Alka roamed among these bubbles throughout the night, but due to physical limitations, he still made some choices.

Going into too many dream bubbles in one night is too physically and magically exhausting.

But even so, he still gained a lot.

……

When the sky lights up again.

Alka and the others had already divided into two teams, and started the last day of operations.

Jason's team continued to gather intelligence.

Alka and the others have already come to the gate and Baishi to explore the last area.

"The area you are exploring today is very dangerous. You must follow me closely and be prepared to fight." Baishi said after walking for a while.

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, only Shiraishi could be heard explaining ramblingly.

"The last area we explored today is actually bigger than what we explored in the two days yesterday.

It's just that there are many areas inside that are dangerous and we have to go around, so we don't need to explore too many areas. "

Through Baishi's previous explanation and the graffiti-like map in his hand, they already knew the general shape of the island.

It forms a long strip, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and there is a crescent gap above the gap of the long strip, which is the bay where they landed.

If it is divided in half from the middle, the town and the bay port are above the island.

They began to explore in this last area, and the distance around them was increasing.

It is often a huge bend when you go around.

Because of the need to detect the map, Alka and the others asked Shiraishi to walk around this dangerous area even if he made a detour.

By the way, Baishi also told them why these dangerous areas are dangerous and why they were created.

Really played the general function of a tour guide.

This made Alka and their understanding of the island rapidly increase.

In this way, they came to a most important place.

In front of you is a valley.

On both sides are two peaks of different sizes.

At the entrance of the valley, there was actually a stone tablet thoughtfully erected, which was written in a language that Alka and the others could not understand.

But it is obviously the language used by the islanders on this island.

"This stele says Broken Town."

"About 600 years ago, we don't remember exactly how long ago, we were still living in this valley at that time.

However, because of the outbreak of a relic, the entire valley became an extremely dangerous area, so we had to move the town to the current location. "

Speaking of Baishi's indifference here, he shrugged and said: "It is because of the eruption of the ruins that the night of the entire island is extremely dangerous."

Hearing this, Alka asked with some doubts: "Speaking of which, you have always heard that night is dangerous, so what will happen on the island at night compared to daytime, so that it is so dangerous?"

"Don't you know?" Baishi turned his head and asked in surprise.

He thought that Alka and the others had stayed in this small town for several days, but they still didn't know why it was dangerous at night?
Alka was a little embarrassed. It was obviously the information that should have been obtained earlier, but until now they hadn't intentionally asked about it.

Even Arka herself basically spends the night in a dream.

Except for asking in other people's dream bubbles when I didn't come to the island at first, I didn't ask about the night situation in detail when I came to the island later.

Knowing the danger at night, they never thought about running out at night.

However, Baishi didn't care, and explained: "I don't know the reason, anyway, after the ruins are opened, there will be broken space rifts on the island. If you are accidentally pulled in, you may never see it again."

"Among those dangerous areas before, some of them had fixed spatial rifts. But once it's night, these rifts will pop up all over the island, and you don't know when they will suddenly appear under your feet, or It's behind your ass, get it."

Hearing this, everyone who was listening beside him nodded. Looking at it this way, it was indeed very dangerous.

Accidentally being sucked into the space rift, no matter how you think about it, you are close to death.

But at this point, Baishi's tone suddenly became a little funny, and he said with a smile: "You don't believe me, but let me tell you, my grandfather survived the crack."

Saying that, Baishi continued to move forward, and everyone followed behind.

While walking, Baishi said: "My grandfather is considered a legend on this island. When he was young, he was sucked into the crack due to some accidents, and he was regarded as a dead man on the island.

But he survived in the end. "

When he said this, Baishi's tone could hear obvious pride. He seemed to admire his grandfather very much.

"He said that after he was sucked in, he appeared on an island far away. He returned when he was 55 years old. When he came back, his grandma died. I was born at that time. It really became a paragraph legend."

Hear this.

Pororo asked from the side: "That is to say, those space rifts are actually portals leading to other places?"

"I don't know." Shiraishi shook his head.

"Because the only person who was sucked in was my grandfather who was still alive."

Well, let's kill the curiosity in my heart.

They don't think their luck will be so good.

Everyone thought silently.

"Then have you ever been outside?" Alka looked at him and asked suddenly.

Baishi, who was walking in front, took a slight look at the situation in front of him, and then said: "I have been out, after all, my grandfather has talked with me about this since I was a child, so I have been very interested in the outside world since I was a child, and I went to sea early.

But it wasn't until I went out that I realized that what I had experienced was different from what my grandfather said, so I came back after seeing it outside for a few years. "

"It's better to be your own home."

Shiraishi sighed.

Hearing this, Alka began to recall the outside information he obtained in the dream last night.

After thinking about it, I organized my words and asked, "Then what do you think, what islands have you been to?"

"I've been to a landmark island called the Southern Cross, I wonder if you know it, have you ever been there, the landmark island is not too big, but it is indeed the best island I have ever seen.

I have also been to two drifting islands, and then I just came close to here during the voyage and came back. "

Shiraishi answered briefly, without too much in-depth communication.

According to the information obtained last night.

The so-called signpost island is an island in the sea that will never move due to the environment, it will always be there.

It is like a signpost pointing the way at a fixed location, so it is called a signpost island.

The drifting island is naturally the same as its name, it is random and can move, but it is not the island that moves.

"The Southern Cross? I haven't been there, but I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Alka replied.

Hearing this, Xia Daiti and the others were expressionless, but Pororo couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

After finding that everyone seemed to have no expression, they turned their heads silently.

He pursed his big mouth and swallowed what he wanted to ask.

Why do these people tell lies without blushing or beating their hearts?

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it, after all, the island seems to be quite remote."

No one can say exactly how big the boundless sea is.

In such a sea area, there are naturally many landmark islands.

Communications with the outside world come to an abrupt end here.

After a while, Baishi stopped and fell onto a giant tree.

After falling down, he said to everyone: "You guys wait here for a while, I will go ahead to check the situation and see if I need to make a detour."

After saying that, he got into the small forest and disappeared.

Alka and the others also stopped in place and waited.

Seeing Baishi leaving, Pororo finally couldn't help asking, "What did he mean just now?"

Several people around also looked at Alka curiously.

They did not know when Arka sailed on the Great Sea.

Last night's intelligence, I only talked to Jason who happened to be by the campfire in the morning.

Haven't told anyone yet.

"Last night, in my dream, I went to the bubbles of those members of the merchant ship and collected some information from the outside world."

Then Alka briefly explained to them the information he obtained last night.

Only then did everyone nod their heads in understanding, as they had a certain understanding of the boundless sea.

It wasn't until Shiraishi came back that they started to move on.

……

When the day is once again covered by a curtain.

Night has come.

A few figures can be seen running fast in the distance.

Seeing this, the hunter on the sentry tower put the arrow on the bow.

At this time, Alka and the others finally saw the first sentry tower.

"Huh, huh, huh!" Baishi panted, propping his knees with his hands.

The hunters on the sentry tower found them, and watched Baishi say something in words that everyone couldn't understand, as if he was teaching Baishi a lesson.

Baishi laughed, said something, and led Alka and the others slowly towards the town.

"Finally, I came back before the night came. I was almost scared to death." Baishi said with lingering fear.

Although Alka and the others knew that there was danger, they hadn't actually experienced why the night was so dangerous.

So I didn't show too much fear.

But looking at Baishi's appearance, the danger at night seems to be more exaggerated than they imagined.

Simon asked curiously from behind: "Then have you stayed outside at night?"

Shiraishi nodded, and it took a while to answer, with a dull voice.

"Yes, the situation at that time was slowed down by the World of Warcraft just like today. At that time, there were 4 people in our operation team, and only two of them went back in the end. One of them even broke a hand."

Obviously, the only person who didn't suffer too much damage was Baishi who was still standing in front of them.

And there is not much need to talk about this topic, everyone silently closed their mouths.

I saw Jason, Juanlu, and Lucilia at the door. They seemed to be arguing with the guards at the door for something?
"We're going out, don't you understand what we mean? Why? You still want to lock us up?"

"Friends, it is forbidden to leave at night, even if you are guests, it is very dangerous outside, this is for your safety."

"you……"

Just as Jason was about to continue to say something, he saw Alka walking towards them, and a surprised smile appeared on the faces of the others.

He and Lucilia hurried over and said, "What's going on? Why did you come back so late? If you slow down, we might all rush out."

When the night came, Alka and the others did not return, which made Jason and the others very worried.

Taking advantage of this time, let Jason and the others know why it was dangerous outside at night.

They couldn't help but go outside to look for Alka.

Alka just came over and received the blue line bird.

"I encountered some unexpected circumstances, but fortunately, when the night came, we had already reached the guard tower on the border."

Alka said and put his hand on Jason's shoulder, telling him not to worry too much.

Then the guard by the river apologized, and everyone bid farewell to Shiraishi, and took Jason and others back to the rented hut.

Looking at the delicacies still simmering on the small stove, it was obvious that they were in a hurry to get out.

Spread out and sit around the campfire.

"So the goal of the first stage is considered to be completed, how about it? Are the records complete?" Alka asked while sitting by the bonfire, looking at Xia Dai in front of him.

Xia Daiti nodded: "Although there are many dangerous areas that have not been perfectly detected today, it is harmless to the overall mapping."

There are many danger zones today that occupy too large an area, even if they circle around, they can't detect it perfectly.

But it is not enough to send them into danger for such a small area.

Hearing Xia Daiti's answer, Alka nodded.

"That's good. After the map is completed, let's start planning the course of action in the future."

Everyone nodded and had no objection. After all, this was a mature action plan they had agreed upon.

Simon and Martha who just joined would naturally not express their opinions on such behavior, but were learning silently.

Although I don't know why.

Then Alka said to Jason: "You sort out the information you know."

"OK, no problem."
