Chapter 187 [Island of Sand] Natives encounter twilight!
As soon as you set foot on the land of [Sand Island].
Xia En immediately felt that the secret power in the air around him had become thinner and heavier.
Whether it is the process of absorbing the secret power or controlling the secret power, there will be great resistance.
“Is this the ban on [Sand Island]?”
Xia En sighed secretly: "It's really extraordinary."
"However, it seems that there are more than just restrictions on the secret power..."
He felt it carefully and found that his whole body was a little weak. The body seems extremely heavy.
A single step left a deep footprint in the sand.
At this moment, Xia En was able to determine that the gravity on this island was much greater than that of the outside world.
Even with his strong body, he felt a little uncomfortable. If it were some delicate mystical person, it would be difficult to even move forward.
Xia En turned his head and asked with concern.
"An, are you okay?"
Behind him, the armor knight's movements were a little difficult.
But after hearing this, white magic patterns appeared on the surface of the armor, and An's movements became visibly lighter.
Xia En knew that this was An's activation of the "sky form" of the armor, which greatly reduced its own gravity, which exactly offset the gravity field of the Sand Island.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to fly in this environment.
Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised.
The restrictions on secret power on [Sand Island] do not seem to take effect on magic pattern equipment?
But at this moment, a small head emerged from the gap in An's armor.
"Huh? Where is this place?"
Fairy Tracey said in a daze: "Why is there sand all around?"
Seeing her, the corners of Xia En's eyes twitched: " Tracy, why are you here?”
Tracy said honestly: “I had been sleeping in An’s armor before, and I was here when I woke up.”
An’s. The body also stiffened slightly.
How could he have imagined that Tracey would be so bold as to dare to sleep in his armor?
What if Tracey was infected with his bad luck...
Xia En also realized this.
But after carefully checking up and down, he found that Tracy had no other symptoms except for being a little depressed due to the ban on the [Island of Sand].
But if you think about it carefully, things like "bad luck" are inherently mysterious and mysterious. They cannot be explained by common sense, and naturally there are no observable symptoms.
Now, since Tracy is already here, she cannot be sent to the [Black Swan] again.
——This back and forth will definitely waste a lot of time.
So, after Xia En gave her a few warnings, he continued to move deeper into the [Island of Sand].
Only after setting foot on [Island of Sand] in person can you feel the vastness of this island even more.
The scene in front of me always seems to be an unchanging lonely desert, with no end in sight.
About half an hour later, the sea behind him had disappeared, but the surrounding scene seemed to have not changed at all.
Moreover, as the two people and one goblin go deeper, the influence of gravity and restriction is still deepening.
The air is getting hotter and hotter.
At this time, a sudden gust of wind blew up, raising large amounts of yellow sand. The sun in the sky seemed a little distorted, but the wind and sand did not prevent it from casting endless light and heat on this desolate area.
There is no doubt that this desert is showing its ferocious side to outsiders.
After walking forward for a while, Xia En caught a glimpse of something lying across the empty desert.
Xia En walked forward slowly, carefully every step, and soon saw its appearance clearly.
This is a mummy!
He was wearing pirate clothes and there were no obvious wounds on his body.
But the water in the body has completely disappeared, and the dry body clings to the bones like a skeleton.
And if you look carefully, you can see there are several similar mummies nearby.
Obviously, they all came to [Sand Island] to look for treasure, but they lost their lives before the treasure was found.
Xia En frowned and thought: "How did they die?"
"They can't die of thirst here, right?"
Now that we know everything [Sha Due to the climate and environment of the island, these pirates should always prepare measures to deal with it in advance.
An was about to write on the sand to express his views, but heard Tracy say.
"An thought they might have been poisoned."
"Huh?"
Not only An, but also Xia En looked at Tracy in surprise.
It wasn’t because of the speculation itself, but because Tracy seemed to understand Ann’s meaning without communicating.
Tracey's reaction to them was a little strange: "Did I say something wrong?"
Xia En looked at Ann with questioning eyes.
An silently shook her head.
Xia En was surprised and asked: "Tracy, how did you do it?"
Tracy raised her chin and said with some pride: "This is us The innate ability of the fairies is called [Capturing the Voice]”
"But it can only be used on elves, and it needs to gain the trust of the target."
Xia En looked at An with a strange expression.
There is always something strange about having one's voice captured.
Tracy said: "An is thinking now... Captain, don't look at me like this!"
An's body froze again and looked at Cui angrily. Akane.
Xia En seemed to see his shameful and angry expression through the armor.
This thought made Xia En couldn't help laughing.
'It turns out that An also shows such emotions...'
Although An was one of the first crew members to board the ship, due to the armor and [Aphasia Curse], Xia En had never seen his expression or heard his voice, so he had no way of knowing his true mood.
The current posture is different from the usual image of a rigid and loyal knight.
It also made him look more lively and lovely in Xia En's eyes.
However, Xia En also knew that if he continued to laugh, An might really become angry.
So he coughed twice and said: "Tracy, you will act as Ann's mouthpiece from now on and notify me of any important news in a timely manner."
"However, don't put all your heartfelt opinions into words." Tell them all..."
Tracy was confused: "What should be said and what shouldn't be said?"
"For example... what about the phrase 'Captain, you are so evil-minded!'"
"Pfft!"
The look from An's armor was almost killing the goblin.
Xia En suppressed laughter and turned to check the mummy.
It’s just that he just turned the pirate’s mummy over.
A small black shadow suddenly rushed towards the door at a speed that ordinary people could hardly react to.
Xia En's expression changed slightly, but his movements were faster than his thoughts. He stretched out his big hand and caught the approaching black figure.
Out of caution, a layer of blood appeared on his body, and it was this layer of blood that blocked the sting from the black shadow's tail.
Cang!
The tail of the black shadow hit the blood and made a muffled sound.
Under the firm pressure of blood energy, this little thing finally became honest.
At this time, Xia En was able to see the full picture of the black shadow.
This is a black scorpion, only the size of a palm, but its body is extremely hard, like steel. Shane took out a dagger and slashed it casually.
There was a crisp sound, and the tip of the dagger broke.
Although this is just an ordinary dagger, with the blessing of Xia En's power, it cannot pierce the body of the black scorpion. The natural defense of the black shell is really shocking.
And its tail still exudes a bitter taste similar to almonds.
When he smelled this smell, Xia En felt a constant tingling sensation on his skin, and the hand holding the dagger was also a little numb.
Obviously, this is poison, unimaginably poisonous.
With Xia En's current physique, many toxins have no effect on him, but this seemingly inconspicuous scorpion actually contains such terrible poison.
Most of the pirates here will die in their hands.
The danger of this [Sand Island] lies not only in the special environment, but also in the indigenous people and such unheard-of strange creatures.
Xia En used the Blood Demon Sword to cut open the body of the black poisonous scorpion to ensure that it was dead.
Then, he turned his head and was about to explain his findings to Ann and Tracy when he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him.
Phew!
Phew!
Several arrows pierced the air, and they came very fast, heading straight towards Xia En and the others.
An's reaction was a beat too slow and she didn't have time to dodge.
Xia En took a step forward, with the Blood Demon Sword in his hand, and cut off the flying arrows with one strike.
He looked up and frowned slightly.
On the sand dunes not far away, several strange men in yellow robes were seen holding bows and arrows, looking at them with hostility.
The yellow robes on these weirdos are in tatters, almost blending in with the color of the desert.
This also caused Xia En to be unable to see their appearance clearly. He could only see something like thick hair through the holes in the robe.
Almost the moment he saw the strange man in yellow robe, Xia En could confirm——
They are the natives of this [Sand Island]!
And if Xia En guessed correctly, the appearance of these pirates lying in the desert and the natives was not a mere coincidence, but...
A trap!
The natives are using the mummies of these pirates to attract outsiders, and suddenly attack them when they inspect the corpses!
Even if the outsider avoids the attack of the poisonous scorpion, he will be shot by the bow and arrow from behind.
Xia En glanced back at the arrows. Their arrows were hollow, and they also exuded the smell of bitter almonds.
Toxin is obviously one of the great weapons of this group of natives!
Inexplicably, Xia En's expression was a little strange.
Normally speaking, given the size of [Island of Sand] and not reaching the core area of the island, it should not be that easy for them to encounter the natives.
But we have only been on the island for half an hour now, and I and others have plunged into the trap of the indigenous people...
Is this really just bad luck?
Or...
The misfortune that Tracey Cong'an has tainted has taken effect quietly?
However, this is not the time to think about these issues, because...
The indigenous people not far away have once again set up their bows and arrows, preparing for the second round of shooting!
Xia En calmed down, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and immediately took out the [Hui Cult Amulet] from the [Apocalypse Ring].
All of a sudden.
A light group appeared next to him.
Xia En still doesn’t want to be enemies with these natives unless he has to.
After all, these natives are extremely adaptable and understanding of the environment of [Sand Island], and can exert combat power far beyond their own level.
Having the previous experience of cooperating with the [Coral City] Sea Tribe, Xia En clearly understands that if he can use their power, many difficulties will be solved.
At this time, Xia En happened to learn about the indigenous people's belief in Hui religion.
There is no reason not to take advantage of it.
As expected.
After seeing this group of light, the movements of the natives stagnated slightly.
The leader of them seemed to be speaking, talking to his companions around him.
However, due to the distance, Xia En could not hear the content of their words clearly.
It didn’t take long.
Many of the natives put down their bows and arrows, and the leader waved to Xia En, as if gesturing for him to come over.
Seeing this, Xia En felt happy.
“There’s something going on!”
As long as they can communicate, it means that the hostility of the natives is within controllable limits.
Next, if you show your relationship with the Lord of Radiance, you might be able to get their help.
Thinking about it this way, encountering indigenous people may not be a sign of bad luck?
But in the next moment.
Boom! ! !
A bloody stream of light suddenly fell from mid-air.
The place where it fell was exactly where the natives were.
Along with screams and roars, a violent explosion erupted where the bloody light fell, throwing out a large amount of blood, minced meat and severed limbs.
In just one breath, several indigenous people died on the spot.
The remaining natives screamed and fled quickly.
Xia En suddenly raised his head and looked at the source of the bloody light.
I saw suspended in mid-air, a tall young woman with the beauty of ice and snow.
Behind her, a pair of substantial blood-colored wings were flapping gently, supporting her to hover in mid-air.
And in this high-gravity environment, being able to fly is a symbol of strength!
In the woman's hands, she held two firearms that were like twin sisters.
The previous stream of light was emitted from it.
This beautiful woman looked around and caught everyone present in her eyes.
The corner of her mouth was smiling, and her smile was beautiful, but her eyes were as cold as a hunter treating his prey.
The moment he saw this woman, all the hairs on Xia En’s body stood up, and an extremely strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
This sense of crisis is even more intense than when facing the [Thousand Changers] at that time!
Characteristics of vampires, women, and extremely high status.
Xia En immediately remembered what Feiya had mentioned, the owner of the [Burning Gold] - Twilight!
But how could he meet the other party by such a coincidence! ?
How long have you just been on the island?
Looking at Twilight's posture, it seems that she plans to kill everyone present!
Shane glanced at An and Tracy, and suddenly realized that An's bad luck, which could destroy a kingdom, was not just talk.
"Split up and run!"
Xia En did not hesitate, handed a [Hui Jiao Amulet] to An, and then ran away in one direction.
In the face of such a powerful enemy, running away together will only speed up the process of death.
Escape separately, there may be a glimmer of hope.
"Oh? Is there any unexpected gain?"
Looking in the direction of Xia En in mid-air, Twilight licked her lips: "The blood of this little guy seems to be very sweet..."
< br>She flapped her wings and quickly chased after him.
After noticing Twilight's actions, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the initiative to cut his wrist in order to attract Twilight to chase him.
After swallowing the [Crimson Reality] and bathing in dragon blood, his blood must be extremely attractive to the Vampires.
At least it would prevent Twilight from going after Ann and Tracey.
At this time, Twilight's faint words came from above.
“Little guy, stop running away, come to your sister’s place obediently...”
“I will love you very much!”
At the same time as these words were spoken, a scalp-numbing stream of blood fell beside Xia En!
