“Village Chief——Ruhr Village Chief!”
In the cold and biting sea water, Yan Yan struggled to move his arms while raising his head. shouted.
"Listen to my advice..."
But soon, Yan Yan, who was covered in flames, froze.
Because the person who poked his head out from the deck of the [Diamond Star] was not the village chief of Ice Island, but the captain of the [Black Swan] - Xia En!
Xia En jumped onto an ice floe on the sea with a slight jump, looking at Yan Yan with a half-smile.
"What do you want to do here?"
Yan Yan has a simple personality, but he is still very smart. Looking at Xia En's expression, he guessed that he was probably late. , so he said honestly.
“I saw the [Diamond Star] missing on the coast before, so I guessed that the mayor of Ruhr might want to take action against you.”
"So I followed him and wanted to persuade him to give up."
"But now it seems that I am still a step too late."
Hearing this, Xia En also said directly: "That's right. , the village chief of Luer and other villagers have been captured by me, including the young man named Gray."
"...Do you want to intercede for them?"
To Xia. To En Lai, the life and death of these villagers did not matter at all.
Anyway, after getting the chart and snorkeling in the [Emerald Ancient City] a few times, he will leave this sea area.
I will probably never meet these villagers again.
Except for Ruhr, the first offender, Xia En had the idea of killing him, and it didn’t matter whether the others lived or died.
In contrast, what Xia En values more is this burning fireman - Yan Yan!
If he really begs for mercy, Xia En is willing to be a favor and let him help lift the "extreme cold seal" under the ice sea.
But what Xia En didn't expect was.
At this time, Yan Yan shook his head resolutely: "How could it be so?"
"If they haven't taken action yet, forget it, they have already taken action, that is, He Xia Captain En has made a grudge."
"No matter what the outcome is, they are responsible for it. Why should I plead for them as an outsider?"
Xia En was surprised when he heard this. He glanced at Yan Yan.
Obviously, although this young man is kind-hearted, he also has his own bottom line and principles, and is not an annoying "Madonna."
"But..."
Yan Yan looked at Xia En , continued: "I do have a request."
"Please say."
"Please Captain Shane not to anger the other villagers on the Ice and Snow Island, and leave them a way to survive."< br>
Yan Yan said sincerely: "Many of them don't know Ruer's thoughts and plans. Now that so many young adults have been lost, life is already more difficult. There is no need to kill them all."
Xia En smiled, He asked back: "Do you think I am the kind of person who would kill an island casually?"
Yan Yan stopped talking.
The scenes he saw in the extreme cold storm left a deep impression on him.
Even the storm has to bow down in front of the captain and massacre an island. For this kind of person, it doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration, right?
Xia En: "..."
Although when necessary, he will also use the most cruel means to eradicate the roots.
But normally, in his opinion, killing is only a means, not an end.
Why does Yan Yan think that he looks like some kind of villain?
“…Am I that terrible?”
Xia En's mouth twitched slightly, and he took the initiative to change the topic and said: "As far as I know, your relationship with the villagers on the island is not good?"
"Why do you still want to protect them?"
< br>After a brief hesitation, Yan Yan sighed and explained.
"Actually, the spontaneous combustion curse in their village does have a lot to do with me."
"...Huh?"
Xia En was stunned. He originally just asked casually, but unexpectedly, he seemed to ask some big secret.
“This ice and snow island is remote and the weather is extremely cold.”
Yan Yan slowly said: “The food needed by the villagers on the island mainly comes from hunting and catching Fish, and a piece of farmland in the core area of the village."
"Farmland?"
Xia En thought of the relatively warm temperature in the village and guessed that there were probably some growing in that field. Valuable food crops, or other fruits and vegetables.
After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that eating only fish and animal meat for a long time will cause damage to the human body.
And this farmland is probably the key factor for Ice and Snow Island to continue to this day.
But, what does this have to do with the so-called "spontaneous combustion curse"?
Soon, Yan Yan’s words answered Xia En’s doubts.
“Hundreds of years ago, a terrible snowstorm swept across this island.”
"That snowstorm was really big. Even if these villagers had special blood, they couldn't leave the village too far, otherwise they would be frozen into ice sculptures."
"In these months of snow and wind, Villagers cannot go out to hunt, and the food reserves in the village continue to decrease."
"Even the farmland has been covered by the snowstorm, and the crops previously planted have failed."
"The terrible hunger hangs over the whole village like a dark cloud."
An expression of memories and pity appeared on Yan Yan's delicate face, and he said in a complicated tone.
"And once a person is hungry and crazy, he can do anything."
"Captain Xia En, you should be able to imagine that situation?"
Xia En looks a little heavy The nodded.
"Seeing that the entire village was about to perish due to hunger, I thought of a solution that was not a solution."
Yan Yan pointed to himself: "I can survive without eating. My physical body happens to be able to regenerate indefinitely..."
His expression was calm, as if he had said something insignificant.
But Xia En's eyes suddenly changed.
Yan Yan didn’t need to say any more, he already understood everything.
If we say that the [Rusty Grand Duke] of [Rusty Wasted City] uses civilians as consumables and resources, draining them of their remaining value.
And Yan Yan is just like himself, using himself as firewood, burning himself and illuminating others.
This kind of awareness and courage really shocked Xia Endu.
Yan Yan showed a wry smile and continued: "But what I didn't expect was..."
"After that, the villagers in the village were infected with the 'spontaneous combustion curse' ', every few months, someone will spontaneously burn to death."
"That's why I said that this curse is related to me."
Xia En immediately figured out the reason behind this. .
There must be some unique secret power hidden in the flesh and blood that never burns out and is infinitely regenerated.
After this secret power entered the bodies of the villagers, it was passed down from generation to generation, and accumulated to the limit one day, detonating like a time bomb, thus igniting that person's body.
This is the truth behind the "mystery of spontaneous combustion" on Ice and Snow Island!
But how can we say that Yan Yan did something wrong?
Without Yan Yan’s sacrifice, this village would have ceased to exist hundreds of years ago!
Xia En looked into Yan Yan's eyes and said extremely seriously.
“You did nothing wrong.”
“It was the ignorant and stupid villagers who were wrong.”
“If you ask me, you are amazing... Really!"
Looking at Xia En's sincere eyes, Yan Yan felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something.
On the ice and snow island, what he heard was always the villagers' reproaches and scoldings, and what he felt was only disgust, alienation, and fear...
No one had ever said to him, "You did nothing wrong." What?”
No one praises me so sincerely.
At this moment, Yan Yan felt a complex emotion that she had never experienced before.
“Don’t worry, I had no intention of attacking the villagers on the island.”
Xia En explained his purpose directly: "And just by chance, I have one more thing that I hope you can help me with."
...
...The next day.
After the number of [Submarine] was refreshed, Xia En brought Yan Yan to the sea area where the [Emerald Ancient City] was located.
The only parts of Yan Yan's body that were not covered by flames were his feet and head, which allowed him to barely stand on the deck.
Of course, there is still a risk of fire if it is too close to other things on the ship.
No need for Xia En to remind him, Yan Yan stood at the very corner of the deck, trying hard to shrink the flames around him, for fear of making a big mistake.
Judging from his height of two and a half meters tall, he even feels a bit "pitiful".
At this time, the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star] were sailing in tandem.
Because the [Diamond Star (Incomplete)] was severely damaged.
Going to sea hastily will undoubtedly seriously slow down the speed of the [Black Swan].
So, Xia En plans to brush its level to LV2 in the [Emerald Ancient City] first, and wait for the hull to recover before leaving this sea area.
At first, Xia En was worried that it would be difficult to control two ships.
But in actual operation, it is much simpler than expected.
Under normal circumstances, he only needs to control the front boat, and the rear boat follows silently as if the "auto-follow" function is turned on.
However, if you want to micro-manage the two ships, you must devote yourself to the perception of the two ties in the soul.
It didn’t take long.
Facing the pale sunlight in the sky and the cold air blowing on the deck, the [Black Swan] came to the edge of the ice again.
Only less than two days.
The ice that was previously full of cracks and holes was once again frozen as smooth as ever, with no trace of the battle that day visible.
With the arrival of the [Black Swan], some existences under the ice seem to be ready to move again.
Xia En is really not interested in dealing with the cloned sea beasts that cannot give experience.
So, after throwing Yan Yan from the bow, he drove the two ships to a slightly farther sea.
Then...
"Submarine, start!"
The dark and deep projection body emerges like a ghost in the cold sea water.
Soon, Xia En saw a torch-like flame not far away.
This bright fire is very eye-catching in the dim sea water.
But perhaps it was the instinct of creatures. The sea beasts around them who had never seen flames in their lives showed a faint emotion of awe.
So much so that no sea beast dared to approach him.
“Are fish in the sea afraid of fire?”
Xia En was in a strange mood and swam quickly towards Yan Yan.
"Uh...huh!?"
It can be seen that Yan Yan was obviously startled after seeing Xia En's projected body, and seemed to be unable to figure out what was happening in front of him. What exactly is the humanoid shadow?
No wonder.
With the improvement of the [Mysterious] attribute, Xia En's body on the ship is still covered in a handsome skin, and his charm is greater than his mystery.
But the projected body under the sea is originally unclear, and its temperament becomes more and more mysterious, which naturally makes people feel frightened.
If someone with a high level of inspiration looked at him, they might have some crazy hallucinations and start thinking about it.
At this moment, Xia En is more and more in line with the image in the [Shadow of the Faceless] ghost story.
"I am Xia En."
Using the ability of [Underwater Conversation], Xia En spoke decisively, allowing Yan Yan to calm down quickly.
‘Captain Shane under the sea turned out to be like this...’
‘Or is this some kind of special secret ability? '
While Yan Yan was still surprised, he saw Xia En's figure diving down first, and immediately followed him.
Soon, the [Emerald Ancient City] submerged in volcanic ash came into view, which made him secretly surprised.
But Xia En still didn't stop at all, and passed directly through the ice under the ancient city.
The city of elves under the ice opened Yan Yan's eyes even more, and he secretly admired it.
“Captain Shane can actually find such a hidden city, it’s amazing!”
The two men’s dive naturally attracted the attention of the sea beasts under the ice.
But perhaps because Yanyan's flames are too special, these demon-patterned sea beasts hesitate to approach.
“Come quickly!”
Taking this opportunity, Xia En immediately brought Yan Yan to the front of the Elf Temple.
“Go and melt this layer of ice!”
Yan Yan nodded heavily, quickly swam towards the temple and opened his arms towards the ice.
At some point, Fairy Tracey came to Xia En and murmured.
"Do you think he can succeed?"
Xia En said firmly: "It must be possible!"
Yan Yan did not live up to Xia En's expectations after all.
The moment his body came into contact with the ice, the strange flames immediately spread to the ice, and the unquenchable fire flowed around the outside of the temple like water.
The fire swept out of Yan Yan's body, covering the door, the stone pillars, and the murals...
The flames intertwined like a net, and rose from the wall like a breath.
Crack...
With a slight cracking sound, a crack appeared in the ice first.
Soon, the crack continued to expand, covering the entire temple in the blink of an eye.
What surprised Xia En even more was that part of the icy power penetrated into Yan Yan's body and gradually offset his flames.
Tear him out of the flames.
The charred skin with growing granules was truly exposed to the sea water for the first time.
Yan Yan himself was very surprised, but soon showed an expression of ecstasy.
"...is this?"
Xia En's heart moved.
This situation is simply like the reward given to Yan Yan by the "extreme cold seal". It is really difficult to explain it by coincidence.
Could it be that his previous guess was right?
Yan Yan is the [key] prepared in advance to unlock this seal?
Zhiya——
At this moment, the door to the Elf Temple slowly opened.
Xia En looked up and saw that the interior of the temple was dilapidated and empty. The floors and walls had withstood the baptism of time, and seemed to have experienced a tragic battle.
A statue of a goddess whose face is unclear is standing at the end of the hall.
For some reason, this statue gave him a very familiar feeling.
By some strange coincidence, Xia En walked into the hall subconsciously.
Fairies Cuiqian and Yan Yan naturally followed.
The next moment.
There was a "click".
Xia En looked at the palm of his hand in shock. He took out the pocket watch named [Instant Time] at some point.
At this moment, the hands on the pocket watch, which had been moving continuously, stopped on their own and froze at this moment.
In silvery white light.
Xia En's eyesight went dark, and countless bizarre scenes came into his mind.
When he opens his eyes again, the world will be very different!
