Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.
Chapter 181 The Guardian of Death
After hearing the crew's report, all the elites on the transport ship immediately entered a state of high alert.
They looked in the direction the crew had pointed, and sure enough, not far from the tree, about two kilometers northeast of the current ship, a wrecked transport ship had crashed.
The bow of the ship was stuck in the ground, and when it fell, the hull dragged a long groove on the ground.
It can be seen that the ship put up a final resistance before crashing.
But he couldn't escape his fate.
The Beloberg transport ship slowly approached, and Rune looked at the last ship in front carefully and cautiously.
The battle scars on the ship were still fresh, and there was a flame burning at the stern, indicating that the crash happened not long ago.
There was no sign of anyone around the ship, and it was so quiet that it was a little eerie.
The others were all experienced players, and when they saw this situation, they probably understood what was going on.
So everyone became more cautious.
"stop!"
When the Beloberg transport ship was less than 500 meters away from the crashed ship, Henry ordered the ship to stop.
And Rune and others were the first to go down to investigate.
The wrecked ship, except for the visible side,
The other side of the ship was so damaged that it was almost a huge hole.
The emblem of Double Dragon Castle can be clearly seen at the rear of the ship.
"It's the transport ship of Shuanglong Castle!"
"Weren't they heading north? How come they are here?!"
"Could it be that after passing through the black curtain, we still arrived at the same place? The different directions of the black curtain just let us enter from different positions on the battlefield."
"That should be the case." Rune nodded, confirming Henry's guess, "But the most urgent task is to find out the reason why the Shuanglong Castle transport ship was damaged."
Although the Twin Dragon Castle is the weakest among the four major forces, it is still among the top four in the Sea of Kindness, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Anything that could cause their transport ship to crash would also be a huge threat to Beloberg, so no one dared to ignore the situation now.
"There are survivors here!"
While Rune and his companions were carefully checking the situation of the transport ship, the elites who had entered the cabin for inspection suddenly shouted.
Hearing the sound, Rune and Henry immediately entered the cabin.
The presence of survivors means that we can learn the cause of the ship crash from them!
However, when the two entered the cabin, they were slightly surprised by the scene in front of them.
The so-called survivor is just a guy with only the upper half of his body left, hiding in a corner and surviving by relying on his tenacious will.
He only had one breath left, and his injuries were so severe that even Rune shook his head when he saw it.
Even if you inject immortality into the opponent, or use the Forest of All Laws, it is difficult to heal.
It was only a matter of time before this man died.
When seeing Rune and his companions, the survivor's eyes became slightly distracted, but then became clear again.
His voice was hoarse, and he stared at Rune, "Carlo, you are from Beloberg! It's great, I actually waited for you."
"Please, help Shuanglong Castle to rescue Kalinno!"
Rune knew the Kalino he mentioned.
He is one of the dragonborn heirs of the Twin Dragons Castle.
He is considered to be one of the more powerful young people in the Kind Sea. I had also seen him briefly in the secret room before.
Henry stepped forward and said, "If we can meet Carlino, we will lend a helping hand."
"But you need to tell us what happened to you, otherwise we can't do anything."
The survivors felt relieved after hearing this and asked, "What happened to us?"
"horrible"
His voice was intermittent, and the flame of life was so weak that it was about to go out, as if a slight breeze could blow it away.
But he still insisted on finishing his words.
"Our Shuanglong Castle is located to the north of the battlefield after entering this place."
"After being attacked by a swarm of locusts, we finally decided to go to where the 'tree' was."
"We infer that this is the key to solving the Great Tomb Level."
"We were almost close to the tree, but unexpectedly, a group of black shadows suddenly jumped out. These shadows looked like monkeys and were extremely fast."
"We were able to deal with the Shadow Monkey, but in the end a Shadow Monkey about 40 meters in size appeared. In front of him, our ship was like paper and had no ability to resist at all."
At this point, Rune and the others already understood where the hole on the left side of the Shuanglong Castle warship came from.
I guess it was torn to pieces by that shadow gorilla!
"Save Kalinno, please. She was taken away by the Shadow Ape. I don't know what they are going to do to her."
Having said this, he seemed to have used up all his strength, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he closed his eyes.
Seeing the dead members of the Twin Dragon Castle, everyone at the Beloberg sighed.
Although they are competitors after entering the tomb,
But at this moment, everyone felt a sense of grief for the loss of another.
"Everyone, collect all the resources that can be used on the warship, rest and wait for the next instruction!"
After giving the order, Henry turned to Rune and asked, "Carlo, what do you think about this?"
Rune said calmly: "In fact, we have already predicted encountering monsters."
"The danger of the Deathly Silence Tree is not itself, but the creatures that are affected by it."
"Especially in an ancient battlefield, there are countless ghosts and all kinds of strange things. It's not surprising that some monsters would appear."
"However, from this person's description, we can see that the strength of these monsters is not simple, especially the ghost gorilla, which can easily destroy even the carefully built transport ship."
"Although the transport ship characteristics of Shuanglong Castle are not as good as ours, they are actually not much different, so we must always pay attention to that guy."
"However, it must be unavoidable. After all, everyone will eventually go to where the tree is. I think the so-called Karino was taken to the tree."
"If we meet her, we should save her if we can. The most important thing is to save our own lives."
"Ghost Ape, we don't have absolute confidence that we can defeat the other party."
"You have a point. I have the same idea as you." Henry did not object to Rune's words. "Kalinno can be saved or not. Everything will go smoothly. The most important thing is to consider how to deal with the ghost gorilla and the monkey group."
Lu Wen thought for a moment and said, "The ghost ape is essentially a product of the dead habitat. The alchemical array I learned in the last secret room should have a good effect on it, just like the defensive array I used to deal with the locusts."
"So what I'm thinking is that we should rest here for a while, make use of all the alchemical products in the Beloberg transport ship, and carve alchemical arrays on it. After making sufficient preparations, it may have an unexpected effect on these ghosts."
Henry nodded when he heard this, "Thank you for your help then."
In the following time, Rune was completely immersed in the depiction of the alchemical formation, and Lisa also assisted him.
Almost all artillery shells and offensive alchemical items are engraved with the effects of all living things.
If an alchemist who is unaware of the situation sees this scene, his head will probably be full of question marks.
After all, no one had ever thought that alchemical patterns related to vitality could be engraved on lethal shells.
Doesn't that mean that you should injure the opponent first and then heal him? What kind of situation is this?
But in fact, the All-Living Array Pattern is almost the best way to deal with these dead things.
In addition, other alchemists and mages are preparing sacred and healing-related abilities, making them into scrolls and distributing them to everyone.
Even though their effects are not as direct as the All Creatures Spell, they are more targeted than the original offensive spells.
After two days, all preparations were finally completed and the Beloberg transport ship began to move towards the tree.
The closer you get to the tree, the thicker the dead silence becomes.
In the end, even black and purple smoke similar to substance appeared in the air.
It looks a bit creepy, like entering another fantasy world.
As they got closer to the Dead Tree, it grew larger and larger in the eyes of everyone, giving off a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
The branches of the trees in the sky became clearer.
The entire battlefield was covered by this ancient tree.
At this time, the surroundings became more and more strange. It seemed that some armors and weapons piled up in place assembled themselves in the middle of the night and launched a fierce attack on the Beloberg transport ship.
However, due to the All-Living Array that Rune had carved on the ship before, the fierce attack of these strange creatures was tantamount to an act of suicide and did not cause much trouble.
One day later, the transport ship arrived at the foot of the tree, and the straight-line distance from the tree was no more than three thousand meters.
Even the drooping black branches of the ancient trees could be seen taking root again and forming another black forest.
Black flowers covered the ground, so many that they looked like weeds on a prairie.
The Beloberg transport ship floated in the air, not daring to have any contact with these strange things.
Originally, everyone thought that entering the Constantine continent would be a process of gain, but they did not expect it to be so dangerous. Everyone was very cautious, fearing that they would violate any taboos.
Just when everyone was on edge, a clear and loud strange cry suddenly came from the place covered by the black fog, which scared everyone.
The cries echoed through the woods without any masking.
And they could hear the sounds were getting closer and closer to them.
"Everyone get ready to fight, it's those ghost monkeys!"
Those who had obtained the intelligence in advance naturally knew where the other party came from.
I was also mentally prepared.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before a group of black creatures appeared in front of everyone.
But it’s a little different from what the members of Double Dragon Castle said before.
Those monkeys seemed to have undergone some changes. Rune looked up and found that these monkeys were not completely ghosts, but had flesh and blood in their bodies.
Under the cover of the misty black fog, it gradually condensed into shape.
It’s just that the blood and flesh are not sufficient yet and cannot fully support the existence of the body.
Henry gasped when he saw this, "Everyone be careful! These monkeys must have devoured the members of the Twin Dragon Castle and absorbed their flesh and blood into their bodies, causing additional changes and even possessing some dragonborn abilities."
When Rune heard this, he was secretly thinking about it.
It seems that almost all the dead creatures in this ancient battlefield have some extreme desire for fresh flesh and blood.
For example, the locusts before, and these shadow monkeys now.
"By devouring flesh and blood, one can gain a physical body and increase one's strength?"
"Or is it that flesh and blood is just a manifestation of vitality? They are affected by the breath of death and they also yearn for vitality just like the original core of the Death Tree."
When Rune thought of this, he looked at the dead tree in front of him and suddenly understood something.
However, he had no time to think about it at the moment, because those ghost monkeys were already rushing towards the Beloberg transport ship.
They swung quickly around using the drooping branches of the dead tree.
A monkey jumped from the top of the sky directly onto the top of the Benoborg transport ship.
But the protective shield above everyone's heads had already been opened, and when the monkey landed on it, he was immediately restrained by the All-Calling Living Array.
It lay on the transparent film, thick smoke continuously coming out of its body. It struggled painfully to escape, but it was no use.
Finally, it turned into a pool of blood and fell along the transparent light curtain.
Countless monkeys rushed over from all directions, but unlike the locusts, after seeing the death of their companions in front of them, they did not rush forward recklessly, but jumped away immediately.
They looked at the Beloberg transport ship with curious eyes.
They seemed to be wondering why the ship in front of them was different from the ones they had seen before and was able to withstand their attacks!
When Beloberg's crew saw that the monkeys no longer attacked, they immediately counterattacked the monkeys with spells and shells they had prepared in advance.
But the monkeys were very cunning and agile, and did not give the crowd any chance to aim. After a busy counterattack, dozens of monkeys were killed.
The remaining monkeys kept hovering around Beloberg's boat, but did not attack. They stuck to everyone like a dog-skin plaster, which made people feel helpless.
"They are waiting for the ghost gorilla to arrive." Henry said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. If we continue like this, they can lock onto our location at any time, which is not a good thing."
"Let's give it a try. There's nothing wrong with taking a risk." Rune nodded slightly. "I'll take some people out to kill the monkey. You observe the surroundings and support me at any time."
"it is good."
After making a simple plan, Rune immediately rushed out with a knife!
Seeing someone rushing out without caring about the consequences, the monkeys around immediately became excited.
Red light began to flash in their bodies, that was the characteristic of Dragonborn blood!
Hundreds of shadow monkeys locked onto Rune at the same time, rushing towards him from all directions, trapping him like a cage.
But the next moment, green knife light dozens of meters long flashed in the encirclement!
The shadowy monkeys around them fell like half of a rainstorm, hitting the ground and turning into pieces of black wood with small white flowers on them.
The white flowers intertwined with the black flowers on the ground, and the black flowers quickly shattered, leaving a large area of clean ground.
Seeing this, the surrounding monkeys were terrified and wanted to escape, but they could not escape Rune's pursuit.
