Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat]

Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat]

As soon as the high priest said these words, the valley suddenly became quiet.

In the indigenous tribes, the authority of the high priest is higher than that of the saint.

What he said was obviously not without purpose.

The little girl who asked for a hug earlier didn't know why. She looked at Sha Jingjing curiously and asked, "Yes, Sister Saint, you seem to have a special smell today..."

"Weird, fragrant, and seems to have the smell of meat!"

——This is the smell of barbecue on Sha Jingjing's body that has not dissipated.

However, the little girl’s words did not improve the weird atmosphere in the valley.

The high priest and several natives still stared at Sha Jingjing and his group with scrutinizing eyes, especially staying on Xia En for a long time.

Seeing this, Xia En frowned and planned to show off his cards to the natives.

With the relationship of the Lord of Radiance, he is not very afraid of the natives of [Sand Island].

And based on the aura shown by the high priest, the other party may not be his opponent.

Just at this moment, Sha Jingjing stepped forward and said, "I did encounter a group of outsiders in the desert before."

"One of them was extremely dangerous. A crazy woman with long black hair and a bewitching appearance, killed several of our kin and left two gunshot wounds on my body."

As she spoke, Sha Jingjing pointed to her own. Shoulders and lower abdomen.

Although the wound there had stopped bleeding, the cold secret power still remained, constantly destroying her body.

“Sister Saint, it turns out you are injured!”

Seeing Sha Jingjing’s wound, the little girl immediately showed worry: “You have to heal the injury quickly.”

Other natives also started a small uproar.

They have great confidence in their saint, but even she suffered such an injury, which shows how powerful the outsider is.

At this time, Xia En noticed...

The condition of the indigenous people in the valley was actually not good.

Many people had major or minor injuries on their bodies.

Some people had red eyes and looked sad, as if they had just cried.

Xia En thought for a moment and understood the reason behind this situation.

As the news of the "Norwich Treasure" spreads across the seven seas, the number of parties going to the "Island of Sand" to hunt for treasure is definitely increasing.

Coupled with the naturally antagonistic relationship between outsiders and indigenous people.

Even if the natives are naturally adapted to the environment of the [Sand Island], they will inevitably suffer casualties under the waves of attacks from outsiders.

This is why there is such a negative and pessimistic atmosphere.

“When the others come back, gather all the injured together, and I will hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony].”

Sha Jingjing said to the high priest: "Please help me prepare, high priest."

The high priest opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed and said: "Okay, Holy Lady Thank you for your hard work.”

The high priest added before turning around and leaving.

“By the way, we also captured a strange prisoner. It’s up to the Holy Lady to decide how to deal with it.”

Hearing this, Sha Jingjing became a little nervous and cautious. He glanced at Xia En behind him.

She was well aware of her people's hatred of outsiders.

Wouldn’t the situation be very bad if they had already attacked Xia En’s companions?

Thinking of this, Sha Jingjing immediately asked the little girl: "Ayi, where is the prisoner? Take me to see it."

Soon, under the name "Ayi, "Led by the little girl, the group came to a corner of the valley.

A heavy metal armor was sitting there quietly.

"Sister Saint, that's him."

Ayi whispered: "However, he doesn't seem to be a bad person. He helped us fight off many outsiders and saved several brothers and sisters before. "

"Besides, he is mute and cannot speak."

"I don't recognize the words written on the sand..."

Click. !

After several people approached, the silent armored man quickly stood up and turned his head to look at Xia En, who was not far away.

Ayi was startled by such a sudden change and hurriedly hid behind Sha Jingjing.

——Judging from appearance alone, An’s image is quite intimidating.

Sha Jingjing rubbed Ayi's little head: "You go and stay aside for a while. I have something to say to this guy."

"Eh?"

Ayi obviously had many questions to ask, but he was quickly taken away by the three natives.

At this time, Xia En could not help but look at An with surprised eyes.

There is no other reason.

He clearly felt that An's aura was stronger than before when they parted.

If he guessed correctly, this means... An has broken through to the third level and became the second third-level crew member on the [Black Swan]!

Although this promotion speed is much slower than that of Xia En, among ordinary secret practitioners, it can only be described as "progress by leaps and bounds".

Is this the peculiarity of the elf’s physique?

Or is [Knight]’s secret path working again?

However, what Xia En is more concerned about is...

"An, are you not injured?"

"Also, where is Tracy?"

"Captain Shane, I'm here..."

At this time, a weak voice sounded from behind An.

I saw a faint green light shining on the armor, and Fairy Tracey floated feebly.

She seems to have used some special spell to temporarily integrate into the surface of the armor.

The reason why he didn't hide directly in the gap in the armor was obviously because the series of "bad luck" encounters before had left a lot of psychological shadow on Tracy.

Shane was slightly relieved to see that Tracy was okay.

But suddenly, he found that An's body was shaking slightly, and there seemed to be suppressed sobs coming from under the armor.

Xia En's expression immediately changed: "An, what's wrong? What happened?"

Tracy said next to her: "In order to reduce the burden, An threw away all the cardboard on which he wrote. It’s up to me to express what he means.”

Hearing this, An's body suddenly stiffened.

But at this time, Tracy had already spoken: "An was just thinking... she thought she would never see the captain again."

"It's so great to see the captain safe and sound." Okay.”

Xia En was startled.

He didn't expect that An would be so excited about this matter.

But when I thought about it, it seemed that this was the first time the two of them had been separated for such a long time after An pledged her allegiance to him.

Especially when I met Twilight, the situation was truly unprecedented.

However, in Xia En's impression, An has always been calm and reserved, rarely showing any emotions.

Now it seems that it was the [Aphasia Curse] and this armor that hindered the expression of his emotions.

Hearing these words, An stared at Tracy, her eyes pleading and shook her head.

Tracey seemed unaware and continued: "An also wants to say, who is this indigenous woman?"

"Why does the captain seem to have a good relationship with her? It's a bit uncomfortable... "

"...Hey, shouldn't I say this?"

Xia En: "..."

Sha Jingjing: "..."

Xia En glanced at An silently. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could more or less feel his shame and anger at this time.

Look at that posture, if there was a crack in the ground, An might have gotten through it!

Xia En was considerate and did not pursue it further. He just coughed twice, stopping Tracy from continuing to express her reassurance, and said.

“This is the [Sand Saint] from [Sand Island], Sand Jingjing.”

“Thanks to her, I was able to find you.”

Then, Xia En turned to Sha Jingjing and said, "Thank you for what happened just now." Of course Sha Jingjing could reveal Xia En's identity in front of the high priest, but she chose to hide it for herself.

"Just think of it as repaying your favor for those skewers of barbecued meat."

Sha Jingjing waved her hand and said openly.

But at the same time, her eyes were fixed on the floating Tracy: "By the way, what is this little guy?"

"Could it... be the legendary goblin?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Have you heard of goblins?"

This incident is indeed surprising.

Not to mention this desolate island covered with yellow sand, even if it is an island under the federal government, not many residents have heard of goblins.

“Yes.”

Sha Jingjing said frankly: "According to the knowledge passed down by the saints of the previous generation, it seems that a long time ago, the [Island of Sand] was not what it is now."

"Not only were there forests and grasslands, but also There are clear rivers, and there are many magical animals living on the island, including fairies!”

Xia En was a little surprised.

Was the former [Sand Island] such a vibrant island?

But how did it get to this state?

Xia En expressed his doubts by the way, and Sha Jingjing said directly: "If you ask me, I don't know."

"Anyway, from the time I can remember, [Sand Island] is It looks like a ghost.”

“Come on, little fairy, let my sister touch it.”

As she said that, Sha Jingjing stretched out her claws towards Tracy.

Tracy whined: "Captain, save me!"

Shane chose to sit on the sidelines.

After all, if you really think about it, the reason why they are in danger on [Sand Island] is most likely because this little goblin got into An's armor without permission.

However, before Sha Jingjing and Tracy had been playing around for long, there was a noise outside the valley.

I saw a native man covered in blood staggering in.

“Holy Lady, High Priest!”

"Our tribe is besieged by outsiders, please provide support quickly!"

The high priest asked with a serious face: "Who are the outsiders, their number and strength?"

The injured The natives gasped and replied: "There are about thirty or forty people. They seem to have the ability to control blood. We are no match at all."

"Furthermore, that group of outsiders are extremely hostile to us and have no plans at all." "Stay alive"

"The power of blood..."

The high priest looked gloomy: "They are those vampire beasts!"

"Have even the [Island of Sand] begun to be invaded by them?"

"Soldiers who can still fight, Let’s all board the [Moonlight Boat]!”

At this time, Sha Jingjing also rushed to the high priest’s side. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but frown slightly: “There are still many people whose injuries have not been healed.”

“Would it be too hasty to go into battle now?”

The high priest shook his head: "There is no time."

"I know the ways of those vampire beasts. There is a deep hatred between them and us [Yongyue Clan] that cannot be resolved."
< br>"If we go too late, the entire tribe will be exterminated."

Sha Jingjing murmured: "A blood tribe..."

Although she knows about this race Not much, but for some reason, when I mention this name, there is always a strange feeling of disgust in my heart.

Is this really a feud engraved deep in the blood?

After thinking for a moment, she said: "High Priest, I understand."

"In that case, I will just hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] on the [Moonlight Boat]."< br>
“Although the effect will be a little worse, it can at least cure some injuries.”

The high priest nodded and said: “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Not long after, Sha Jingjing led a group of natives out of the valley.

To her surprise, Xia En and An also followed.

"...Don't you take this opportunity to leave?"

Xia En said bluntly: "To be honest, we also have a lot of grudges with the vampires."

"The woman named Twilight is a member of the Vampire Clan."

"If it's convenient, you might as well take us for a ride."

Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "That would be great."

She has already seen Xia En's strength, if If Xia En is willing to take action, this battle may save a lot of lives.

Soon, Xia En saw what the natives called the "Moonlight Boat".

This is a large ship docked behind the sand dunes. The sails on the ship are as worn as the yellow robes worn by the indigenous people.

It looks old and weathered.

However, there is a silver-gray pattern on its hull, which is not as precise as a magic pattern.

It is more like some kind of primitive totem texture, which inexplicably gives people a savage and ancient feeling.

“This is the [Moonlight Boat]?”

Xia En was secretly surprised: “But how does it move?”

Most of the lower part of this [Moonlight Boat] was submerged in the sand, like a whale stranded on the beach, unable to move.

But now that the situation was urgent, it was not easy for him to ask questions, so he just got on the boat with other natives.

"Brother, you are from outside the island, right?"

At this moment, a low, crisp voice sounded beside Xia En.

“Huh?”

Xia En turned his head and looked around, frowning.

The person talking next to him was the little indigenous girl, Ayi.

But such a little girl is not ready to go to the battlefield yet, right?

Ayi grinned and said: "Brother, don't underestimate me, I am a candidate saint in the tribe."

"I have already been on the battlefield!"

"Candidate Saint?"

Xia En was a little curious about this term.

“Those like my sister who have been recognized by the Lord of Radiance are the real [Saints of the Sand].”

“But if my sister dies, it will be our turn to be the replacement. She is a saint."

Ayi said in a calm tone: "In [Sand Island], saints are actually more likely to die in battle than ordinary people of the same race..."

"Since I was born, I have met five saints. Maybe... it will be my turn next."

These plain words, but they vaguely reveal the cruelty of [Island of Sand] A corner of truth.

Xia En couldn't help but fell silent.

Soon, Sha Jingjing walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the sky with a pious expression.

A full moon is hanging there quietly.

"I offer this body to the Lord, and may the light be with me..."

As Sha Jingjing chanted in a low voice, the moonlight poured down like water and fell on the [Moonlight Boat].

At this moment, Xia En suddenly woke up.

He finally realized where the previous strange feeling came from——

In the eyes of [Yueyong Clan], the lord of billions of radiance is not the brilliant and blazing sun, but this wheel The cold moon!
