We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 219 For Whom Does the Door Open?
"I was wondering why it was so lively behind us. Turns out... someone finally caught up."

Twilight looked at the group of people who had entered the place and smiled sweetly.

Her appearance was stunning, and her aura was mysterious and dangerous. When she smiled, she was like a rose with thorns, possessing a captivating charm.

People knew she was dangerous, yet they still couldn't help but be attracted to her.

"It's Twilight, the captain of the [Burning Gold]!"

"She actually arrived deep within this treasure trove a long time ago!"

Twilight's reputation far surpassed that of Shane, and her distinctive beauty made people quickly recognize her and show wary expressions.

How could one not feel awe for a sixth-tier powerhouse who is only one step away from becoming a legend?
Even under the restrictions of [Sand Island], Twilight's total combat power is far beyond what ordinary fifth-tier secret cultivators can match.

Whether it was the Miso brothers, the Matthew brothers, or the notoriously crazy Gal and his group, they all seemed to be on high alert.

—They're just crazy, not stupid!
But after Twilight's gaze swept over the crowd, it seemed as if she hadn't seen these fifth-tier experts at all, and directly locked onto Xia En in the moonlight.

"Little one, we meet again."

Twilight glanced at Sand Crystal beside him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be hanging out with this [Saintess of the Sand]."

"It really breaks my heart... What does this little girl have that I don't?"

Her tone sounded ambiguous and alluring, but it was actually filled with a chilling coldness.

Even outsiders like Miso could sense the murderous intent in his words.

"But it's perfect that you two are both here, so I don't have to look for you one by one."

"Your blood is quite good. Let me think, whose blood should I drain first?"

As she spoke, Twilight licked her lips with her tongue.

When she performs this simple action, it carries a strong allure, possessing an indescribable charm and captivating allure.

Even fifth-tier secret cultivators like the Matthew brothers couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat and their breathing become a little rapid.

However, everyone also learned a lot of information from Twilight's words.

"That girl was actually a saintess among the natives?"

"No wonder that kid was able to receive the protection of the moonlight!"

In the eyes of most people present, Xia En, who was only at the fourth level, was not worth mentioning and was only able to get here by luck.

Twilight's words undoubtedly prove this point once again.

Meanwhile, Miso thought excitedly, "It seems that Twilight has a grudge against that Captain Shane?"

"This is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of their standoff and delve deeper into the treasure trove."

But soon, Miso discovered—

He wasn't the only one who thought this way!
Not far away, Gal and the other pirates paused only briefly before continuing their journey, using the blood-red light as a barrier and braving the gray rain.

Seeing this, Miso did not hesitate. He gestured to his followers behind him with his eyes and quickly walked forward as well.

But the next moment.

A cold voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Did I say... you can leave now?"

"You think you can get your hands on this treasure?"

Twilight stood still, staring at Miso and Gar with her beautiful eyes.

A chill ran through them; the Twilight hadn't really taken them seriously at all.

Only now is Twilight beginning to show hostility towards them.

Even so, everyone felt a deep sense of fear, like... the fear of cattle and sheep facing a apex predator.

For vampires, those with strong physical bodies are the most delicious blood food!
Feeling this indescribable sense of crisis, one of Gal's pirates could no longer contain himself and let out a loud shout.

"You bitch, die!"

Before he finished speaking, he strode out and rushed towards Twilight with the force of a thunderbolt.

He wore brass knuckles on his fists, clearly indicating he was a skilled martial artist.

Even under the gravity of the forbidden area, the pirate's speed was not slow at all; when he threw a punch, a faint whistling sound could be heard.

This demonstrates his impressive physical abilities.

However, in an instant.

With a "bang," a streak of blood-red light flashed through the air.

A fist-sized hole immediately appeared between the man's eyebrows.

The man swayed, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

This fourth-tier Mystic was instantly killed by Twilight's single shot!

Just as the saying goes—

Ten steps away, the gun is fast.

Within ten paces, the gun is both fast and accurate!

However, ordinary firearms could not possibly possess such power in the forbidden area of ​​[Sand Island].

Xia En's pupils contracted slightly.

He realized that Twilight's shot was even more powerful than before!

It's possible that Twilight gradually adapted to the restrictions of the Sand Island, or perhaps she gained something else from the forbidden area.

But regardless of the possibility, this is not good news for Shane.

Even with the moonlight's blessing, he wasn't entirely confident against the twilight.

Moreover, at this moment, Twilight did not directly attack Shain, which clearly showed that he had already seen the strangeness of this moonlight and wanted to wait until the moonlight dissipated before making a move.

"We must obtain the treasure before the moonlight runs out!"

With that thought in mind, Shane stopped paying attention to Twilight and the battle between the two groups, quickened his pace, and walked through the increasingly dense rain ahead.

Twilight was not surprised by Shane's actions, and simply sneered.

"Little guy, you should just give up on that idea."

Even if you find that treasure, you can't take it with you.

Xia En simply ignored him and continued walking forward.

On the other side, Gar saw his companion's corpse, a crimson glint flashing in his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Twilight, do you really want to be an enemy of our Madman Pirates?"

Twilight shook her head: "It's not that I want to be your enemy."

"Are you... sure you want to be my enemy?"

She turned to look at Miso and his group: "And 'Golden Eye' from the Apocalypse Merchant Guild, if you run away now, I might spare your lives."

Her tone was cool and indifferent, yet it carried an undeniable authority and domineering presence.

This is the spirit of a sixth-tier powerhouse!

Everyone knows Twilight is serious.

They had finally made it here, and had suffered considerable casualties and losses. It would be hard for anyone to leave in such a disheveled state.

Garr and Misso exchanged a glance and shouted, "If we don't kill this woman, none of us will get the treasure!"

"Her strength is limited by the [Sand Island], so even if she's stronger than a typical fifth-tier cultivator, she won't be much stronger!"

"Let's take action together and kill her!"

Because Twilight was alone and seemed vulnerable, coupled with the allure of the Norwich Treasure.

Unable to suppress their greed any longer, the group attacked Twilight together.

Garr roared, and long bone spikes, gleaming coldly, extended from his back and elbows.

The sternum and ribs, which were originally folded and contracted, protruded from the skin and flesh, wrapping the entire chest and abdomen layer by layer, just like a breastplate.

Amidst these eerie changes in bones and flesh, in the blink of an eye, Garr seemed to be wearing a layer of white bone armor.

He instantly transformed into a white blur, hurtling straight at Twilight's face. Meanwhile, Miso wasn't idle either; the rings on all ten of his fingers shone with a dazzling array of colors.

【Light Body Technique】

The Bear's Resilience

[The Power of the Bull]

[Focus on Martial Arts]

[Secret Power Shield]

……

One after another, support spells were applied to Matthew and his brothers and other followers as if they were free.

Miso may not have much else, but he has a lot of money!
At this critical moment, we certainly won't skimp on such auxiliary measures.

With the blessing of various spells, the Matthew brothers were instantly energized, charging fiercely towards the twilight in the gray rain.

Not only these fifth-tier secret cultivators, but the remaining fourth-tier secret cultivators also used their own methods to launch attacks.

Such a massive offensive is enough to annihilate any fifth-tier secret cultivator!
It can happen in the next instant.

Garr, who was rushing towards the twilight, was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Even with the hardness of the ground inside the forbidden area, it still managed to create a sizable crater.

Immediately afterwards, two gunshots rang out.

The Matthew brothers' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly used their spears to block the blood-red streaks in mid-air.

Amidst the roar, Matthew and Matthew were thrown back several steps, and many fine cracks appeared on the tips of their spears.

But Twilight's steps did not stop there. She took a step forward and gently brushed her fingertips across the neck of a pirate.

The pirate only had time to catch a whiff of a pleasant fragrance before his head slid off his neck, blood gushing out.

In the crowd, with every step Twilight takes, someone dies tragically.

The woman, however, remained relaxed and composed, as if she were strolling in a garden.

As Gar climbed out of the pit, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face extremely grim.

"Damn it, this woman is already getting used to the environment in this forbidden area."

"Once she completely breaks the seal, no one on this island will be her match!"

Miso was also pale.

He knew Twilight was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong, to the point that it almost created an overwhelming situation.

If this trend continues, even if all his men are killed, they will not be able to cause any real damage to Twilight.

But that's it.

The instant Twilight took a step forward, a tiny, almost imperceptible spark suddenly ignited beneath her feet.

boom!
A violent explosion occurred suddenly, and a chaotic torrent of arcane energy poured out.

Misso's face lit up with joy, thinking to himself, "It's Leo the Bomb Maniac, one of Gal's men!"

"He actually planted a bomb under the feet of his own people, he really is a madman!"

However, after the terrible explosion, Twilight remained standing unharmed, without any visible injuries.

Only a corner of the clothing showed signs of being burned.

Twilight's expression grew increasingly cold as her gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Leo, who was covered in bandages.

"It's you?"

"Very well, I will leave you with a complete corpse."

A flash of golden fire appeared in Twilight's eyes, and then Leo's bandages quickly burst into flames.

"stop!"

From behind, Garr roared, and the white bone armor on his body was faintly tinged with blood.

Clearly, he had used some kind of secret technique and had begun to fight for his life.

Seeing this, Miso no longer held back. He took out an ancient book from his spatial ring, lit it with his secret power, and a golden light immediately shone brightly.

As he did this, a look of pain flashed across his fat face.

This ancient book is a legacy of a previous era; it is a special type of composite spell scroll, the method of which has now been lost.

It can be said that the value of this ancient book is greater than all the props he used before.

This time, Miso not only cast spells on his own subordinates, but also on Gar and others.

—Under the terrifying pressure of Twilight, these two treacherous forces were forced to join forces!

And the effect of igniting the mysterious ancient book was indeed immediate.

In an instant, it was as if a powerful buff had been applied to everyone, finally slightly hindering Twilight's steps and preventing him from moving in and out of the deserted area as before.

But nevertheless.

Twilight still held a firm advantage, and neither Gal nor the Matthew brothers could inflict any damage on her.

Their defeat was only a matter of time.

Suddenly, another heartbeat resounded, shaking the entire island.

The battlefield seemed to have been brought to a standstill; everyone was panicked and had no idea what was happening.

Hearing this heartbeat, Twilight, who had remained calm throughout, finally changed her expression.

She turned around abruptly and looked in the direction where Xia En had left.

"Could it be..."

"Impossible! I've been there for so long and there was no reaction, so why did he change as soon as he arrived?"

Twilight was shaken. Ignoring the people behind him, he immediately flashed away and chased after them in that direction.

The pirates and their followers, who had narrowly escaped death, couldn't help but look at Gar and Misso respectively.

Both of them gritted their teeth and made the same decision.

"Follow!"

Having come this far, why should we back down?

In the area before us, the gray rain turned from fine drizzle into raindrops, and became increasingly dense.

Raindrops pelted the group, causing them to tremble slightly, and the golden light from the burning ancient book grew fainter and fainter.

Soon, people saw twilight chasing a figure through the gray downpour.

That person was Xia En!

However, to everyone's surprise, Xia En stepped out of the moonlight's protection and walked briskly through the gray raindrops.

The moonlight from before lingered not far away, enveloping Sha Jingjing and An.

This was something that Shaen had asked the ancestral spirits to do.

The area ahead is too oppressive; if we continue deeper, the moonlight will only be consumed faster. It would be better to protect Sha Jingjing and the other person first, and let Xia En go on alone.

Everyone was somewhat horrified upon seeing this scene.

They all experienced firsthand the power of the gray rainstorm.

Even they were struggling to walk, but Shaun's pace didn't falter at all, and he was even faster than Twilight!
Is this really the physical strength a fourth-tier Mystic should have?

At this moment, everyone vaguely realized that Xia En's arrival here was not just due to luck.

But soon, people's attention turned to the two people in front of them.

There is a small, undulating hill that looks like a giant, coiled, sleeping serpent.

On the top of the hill, there are more than a dozen huge bone spikes, the longest of which is a hundred meters long.

From a distance, it looks like a row of towering masts.

At the foot of the hill, there is a stone hall, which looks rather simple, but as the only building in the area, it is quite eye-catching.

Moreover, at this moment, the door of that stone hall was wide open!
