Pirates of the Skeleton Scepter

Sure enough, the ship sailed into the port in the evening of the second day, and the bustling noise could be heard far above the sea.

Yi Lie'an reminded Jiang Liu to change his clothes. The white gown is too eye-catching, not to mention such a handsome oriental face.

However, the corner of Jiang Liu's mouth couldn't help twitching when he got the clothes: dark and thick robes, and a headscarf, do you want to suffocate him?It's July now...

After getting off the boat, Jiang Liu followed Irean and Leo into the city, and he could still smell the fishy smell of the sea even after walking a long way.

The world of pirates is wild and luxurious, and Jiang Liu has been mentally prepared for it. When he actually sees it, he is still surprised... strangely dressed travelers, prostitutes who show off their beauty, soliciting customers everywhere, and gamblers who gather together to make a lot of noise.

Jiang Liu couldn't take his eyes off him, but Irean told him that this time he went ashore for a short rest and supplies, and would only stay for a few days at most.Yi Lian also confessed that Jiang Liu was with Leo, but he turned into an alley without seeing anyone.Jiang Liu didn't understand what Irean meant at first, until——when everyone along the way avoided Leo and kept a certain distance from Leo, Jiang Liu finally understood what Irean meant.

No one around dared to approach Leo within half a meter; even prostitutes who were passionate and promiscuous and soliciting business did not dare to approach Leo without authorization, the air conditioner was still very strong...

Leo also showed little interest in going ashore, and walked directly into an inconspicuous shop by the side of the road.

The moment the door opened, people chatted and laughed immediately.It is impossible to tell from the outside that such a dilapidated small shop is actually a rather luxurious tavern inside.Leo was familiar with it, and went directly upstairs to the room on the right side of the second floor, regardless of Jiang Liu's embarrassing shutting of the door after he went upstairs, looking at the lewd men and women in the lobby... This is really a tavern , not a brothel...

After standing for a while, Jiang Liu moved to the bar and sat down.The boss hands over a glass of beer.Jiang Liu drank this kind of thing on the boat, and felt that the wine in his hometown was not as good.

Looking at the exotic tavern, Jiang Liu remembered Irean's advice.Irean warned him not to run around when he went ashore, and to go back to the boat by himself when he was alone.In fact, as soon as they landed, the crew scattered to have fun, Jiang Liu had no choice but to follow Leo.

He gradually understood that this was not the world he was familiar with. On the first day, he saw many unimaginable creatures, like the monsters described in the book.However, Jiang Liu did not regret following him, as Irean said, this was probably some kind of fate, after all, very few "foreigners" could come to this world.

Jiang Liu gave up his life when he jumped off the cliff. God didn't let him die, but planned to let him start a new life.An adventurous life sounds good, Jiang Liu comforted himself this way, his wish when he was young was to grow up to be a knight-errant and travel all over the world.

Just as Jiang Liu was immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself, the neckline was caught off guard and was pulled.He turned his head vigilantly, and the silver needle stuck out of his cuff, but he was surprised to see a cold and expressionless face—it was Leo.

After making a "follow up" gesture, Leo walked straight out of the hotel, and Jiang Liu also hurriedly followed, not understanding what happened.They went straight back to the boat, and Jiang Liu was surprised to find that most of the crew had returned.

"Captain, 'Cripple' and 'Witch' haven't returned yet."

"Don't wait, let's start the boat." Irean crossed his arms, and the expression on his face looked a little impatient, as if he was anxious to avoid something.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Liu lowered his voice and asked "Big Mouth" Ji Li on the ship. Everyone could tell that the captain was in a very bad mood. Jiang Liu had never seen Irean angry.

"The 'Night King' is here." Ji Li glanced at Irean uneasily, seeing that the captain didn't pay attention to his side, he said boldly, "The captain hates the night king, but he always meets... look at the captain's expression , tsk tsk tsk, scarier than the monsters in the Devil’s Lair.”

Irean glared at him, and Ji Li immediately closed his mouth knowingly and did not speak again.

Jiang Liu didn't dare to ask any more questions, but remembering the purpose of going ashore this time, he still couldn't help asking: "What about the supplies?"

"Black market." Leo replied to him for the first time, his voice was as cold as his personality, but this time he had some more expressions on his face, frowning as if he was very reluctant to touch that name.

Black Market──The largest underground trading center for pirates.

The ship sailed slowly to the west coast, and along the way Irean remained silent with a tense face. The crew members were doing their own things, and no one dared to speak recklessly at this moment.

Jiang Liu felt like a cat was scratching in his heart, he wanted to ask but couldn't.

"arrive……"

Leo, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and said something in a low voice.

Jiang Liu hurriedly probed towards the sea, and was surrounded by dark sea water, as black as a huge bowl filled with ink.The wind blew slightly on the person's face, with some salty and bitter taste and other strange and unknown smells.

"Here?" Jiang Liu turned his head to look at the calm Leo.

There is nothing in this sea area, except for an old lighthouse floating on the sea in the distance, the faint orange light flickers in the sea.Leo closed his eyes and said nothing.Jiang Liu was bored, so he could only shut up resentfully.

Irean went straight to the deck, and all eyes turned to him for a moment.

"Jiang Liu, you stay."

"what?"

"The black market is too dangerous." Irean didn't say much. He turned to look at Leo, as if asking for his opinion.

"I'll go with you." The silver-haired swordsman replied lightly.

"Well, Exxon and the twins will also stay, and the others will disembark with me."

Irean finished the simple arrangement, and went to the bow to steer the ship himself.The slow-moving ship moved forward quickly, heading straight for the dilapidated lighthouse.The moment he was about to hit him, Jiang Liu instinctively closed his eyes, but after a long time, he opened his eyes and found nothing happened.

The boat was driving safely and steadily in a narrow waterway, before Jiang Liu was surprised, the boat turned a few turns and stopped in front of an inconspicuous wall.Irean stood at the bow of the boat and drew out his long sword.He uttered some special and strange code words, the gem on the sword hilt shone brightly instantly, and the tightly closed wall slowly opened as if by magic──

The moment the door was opened, brilliant lights and noisy voices poured out from inside—another world that was not inferior to Aite Port, and even more luxurious, dirty and luxurious than Aite Port, presented itself to Jiang Liu.

It's amazing, is this the black market of pirates?

"Get off the boat." Yi Liean inserted the sword back into the scabbard, turned over handsomely, and jumped off the railing of the boat first.

After the sailors left, the ship quickly returned to quiet.The old man Exon suddenly walked over with a smile, and put a black cloak on Jiang Liu. D_A

"...What is this for?"

Jiang Liu's muffled voice came from under the thick cloak.

"Doctor, this is also for your own good." The twins rushed to explain without waiting for Exon to speak. "On the black market, you can trade 'Tangren' and slaves. A beautiful 'Tangren' can be sold for hundreds of gold coins."

"So you want to hide me?" Jiang Liu struggled to expose his head from the cloak, but was pushed back by Exon.The old man was usually drunk, with a dazed look on his face, but unexpectedly he was quite strong.

"Hey~Doctor, just wear this obediently. You'll be safe when you get out of the black market."

"..."

Unable to hold back the other three, Jiang Liu could only wear a thick black robe during the hot months.Although it was night and the sea breeze was cool enough, the river current was uncomfortable.He walked to the bow and sat down alone, while the old man Exon and the twins gathered around and told some anecdotes and dirty jokes at sea.

Time passed by, and just when Jiang Liu couldn't help but want to doze off, a strange cold wind suddenly blew around him, making him shiver involuntarily, and most of his sleepiness disappeared immediately.

At some point, a tall man stood on the deck.Jiang Liu rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he didn't know when that person appeared.The man's back was facing the river. From this angle, he could only see the man's black cloak silently brushing on the deck, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.

"Night, Night King..." Exon and the twin brothers who were facing the man turned pale with fright.

The man snorted coldly, and turned his head slightly, revealing a corner of the cold mask on his face.On the strange mask engraved with gold thread, only the slender eyes are exposed.For some reason, Jiang Liu thought of the leopard's eyes, and the corners of the eyes were slightly raised upwards, showing a cold and domineering taste.

"Does Eleon think I can't guess his little trick?"

The hoarse and deep voice slowly echoed on the boat, like an old man in his twilight, but faintly revealing a majestic aura.

Jiang Liu was shocked again, seeing that the Night King's figure didn't look like an old man, but why his voice was so old.

With a wave of the Night King's sleeve, a strange metal box appeared in Exxon's hands out of thin air.

"Give this to Eleon."

After speaking, the man turned and left the deck.Another strange black wind whizzed by, and when he looked up again, there was no figure of the Night King around, as if what had just happened was just a dream.

Jiang Liu felt uncomfortable, and quickly jumped off the bow and ran to the stunned Exxon.

"what is this?"

"I don't know..." Exon licked his lips, his face, which was always flushed with drunkenness, turned pale for the first time, "Damn it, the thing inside... seems to be barking."

"what!"

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and a gust of biting sea wind blew by, and they all shuddered.

"Hey...you're not drunk, are you? This thing...how can it bark?" The twins looked at each other, and the elder brother Hans looked suspiciously at the old alcoholic Exxon.

"Fart, boy, which eye did you see me drinking!" Exxon glared at the twins angrily, he was sober now.

"There is no living thing inside, right?" The younger brother Hank is bolder. He put his ear on the iron box and listened carefully to the sound inside. It’s fine if you put it in a cage, why put it in an iron box.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the iron box in Exxon's hand suddenly vibrated, and a creepy wailing sound came out of the box like the cry of a toad.

Even the brave Hank was frightened into a cold sweat by the sudden strange cry. He screamed and crawled back to the side of the boat, leaning on the railing and gasping for air. Exxon was also frightened immediately. He threw away the iron box in his hand.

"What the hell is this!" Exxon was still in shock, pointing to the iron box on the ground with his thin, black fingers trembling.

Jiang Liu was also taken aback. The sea was pitch black at the moment, and the dim light of the oil lamp was shining on everyone's faces quietly. The noise of the distant harbor sounded like it was coming from the distant sky. very ethereal...

Suddenly, the iron box started to move by itself again. Accompanied by a strange sound, the iron box vibrated non-stop. It was like thunder on the extremely quiet deck. It was so clear that everyone trembled. Busy and far back a few steps.

"What the hell is this..."

Hans was crying, and the tall man shrank behind Jiang Liu. He was also used to the life of licking blood from the knife edge. He was not afraid of a dozen fierce and brutal pirates, but he had nothing to do with ghosts. Hearing the names of such things, Hans would feel his legs go numb and tremble incessantly.

"Looks like... some kind of animal."

Jiang Liu tightly held the silver needle in his hand, and sweat soaked his palm unconsciously.He boldly listened carefully for a while, and the weird screams were very regular, and he felt that he wanted to rush out of the iron box, and the frequency of the vibration caused the iron box to jump slightly on the deck. In the silent environment, it makes people feel frightened.

None of Jiang Liu and the others had the courage to go forward, and they all crowded into the corner, staring dryly at the tin box beating every now and then, and among them, Hans was shaking the most.

After finally waiting for Irean and the others to come back, the terrified few breathed a long sigh of relief. The waiting time was really hard, for fear that some terrible monster would jump out of the iron box.

"what is this?"

Irean raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and reached out to pick up the iron box that fell on the deck.

"Don't!" Jiang Liu wanted to stop Irean, but Leo moved faster. He pulled out his sword and picked up the iron box. The box rolled a few times in the air, and a more mournful cry came from the box. out, exploding over everyone's heads──

"Wow──"

"Fuck, what the hell?"

"Does this box call?"

All the crew members opened their mouths wide in surprise, and they all dodged away without exception when the iron box fell to the ground. No one wanted to get close to this strange, inconspicuous but extremely weird iron box in front of them.

Irean's face changed as soon as he heard the strange sound. His right hand pressed the saber at his waist, his face was heavy, and his beautiful eyebrows were tightly knit together.

"How did this thing come from?" A sharp sword-like gaze shot at Exon and the others, and a rare serious expression appeared on Irean's face at this moment.

"Yes, it was brought by the Night King..." Hans whispered, his tall body trembled even more after his eyes touched the solemn expression of the captain.

"You haven't opened it, have you?"

Jiang Liu and the others hurriedly shook their heads. They hadn't had time to run away when they encountered this weird thing. Who would dare to touch it.

"Who touched it?"

Irean asked again, and the old alcoholic Exon raised his hand tremblingly.Looking slowly over, Irean lowered his eyes, drew out his sword and walked straight towards Jiang Liu and the others.

"Which hand?"

"Ah?" Exxon was stunned for a while, unable to react.

"Which hand touched the box?" Irean repeated, but the serious expression on his face made Exon shudder.

"...Both hands touched...Wow──!"

A golden light flashed, and the sharp blade slashed towards Exxon's hands in the next second.

"Ship, Captain!" Exxon yelled in panic as he dodged in fright.The other crew members froze in fright, not understanding what happened to Irean.

"Ah──" A scream came out of Hank's mouth suddenly, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, covering his ears with his hands and rolling on the ground in pain.

"Ear—my ear!"

"Ah──" came another scream, this time from Exxon, he knelt on the floor, his face, which was always flushed with drunkenness, looked extremely pale at this moment, and his hands appeared at this moment There was a strange blood red, and the red blood vessel-like things slowly extended upwards along the hands!

"Damn it!" Irean cursed, and swung his sword to cut off Exxon's hands. If it was later, the old drunkard and Hank might die!

"Wait..." In a blink of an eye, Jiang Liu suddenly reacted. He rushed to Exon's side quickly, and a few long silver needles neatly pierced several acupuncture points on Exon's arm.Yi Lie'an and the crew had never seen Eastern acupuncture, but judging from the fact that the poisonous blood had stopped spreading, everyone knew that Jiang Liu was saving lives.

"Hurry up, move Hank here!"

Jiang Liu shouted eagerly, cold sweat kept slipping from his forehead, and he didn't care about wiping off the sweat, so he controlled his hands and quickly pricked Exxon's arm several times.At this moment, the crew hurriedly carried Hank over, and Jiang Liu quickly pulled out a few silver needles...

Several hours passed, and the crew members waited with bated breath, no one dared to disturb Jiang Liu who was engrossed in this moment.Irean looked solemnly at Exxon and Hank who were in a coma. In the shining ice blue eyes, violent storms were gathering bit by bit.

Leo still had a calm and indifferent look on his face, as if nothing in the world could cause him to have conscious and emotional fluctuations. He raised his eyes, but his face became even colder when he touched the strange iron box.

"...life is finally saved." Jiang Liu let out a long breath.After losing strength, the body suddenly fell to the deck.He has never seen such a strange toxin. This kind of poison will spread to the whole body in a short time through skin contact along the blood vessels. If he hadn't sealed the poisonous blood with silver needles in the first place, alcoholic Exxon and Hank probably has already turned into two corpses dripping with poisonous blood!

"There is poison in the box." Jiang Liu gasped and got up from the ground. The crew members all looked at him with admiration, which was unexpected by Jiang Liu.

Irean nodded, and walked slowly to the iron box. "I know."

The iron box vibrated again, and the strange cry echoed around the boat over and over again with the night wind.

"What... is it inside?" Jiang Liu swallowed hard and asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

Irean drew out his saber, the slender blade was extremely sharp, and it shone strangely under the light.The tip of the sword pointed directly at the iron box, and Yi Liean uttered a few words slowly with a cold face.

"The head of a banshee."

The weather was sunny, and Jiang Liu walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.

The cool sea breeze mixed with a hint of fishy and salty smell hits the face.He turned and leaned against the railing, his eyes fell on the inconspicuous round wooden barrel in the corner.

Three days ago, Irean threw that weird iron box into the wooden barrel, and only said that fresh seawater should be replaced in the wooden barrel every day, but he didn't explain anything other than that.

Jiang Liu asked other people on the ship, and they didn't know much about the so-called banshee. They just heard from other old crew members who had been adventuring at sea for many years that the sea banshee was responsible for guarding a secret treasure house, in which several treasures were buried. Untold treasures of gold and silver.Everyone on board is eager to move because of this legend, and is gearing up to find the treasure left by the sea monster!

Jiang Liuyou sighed, he couldn't tell if he was expecting more or worrying more. Although he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, he didn't believe in ghosts and ghosts at all. Compared with ghosts, that one is more powerful.

Unknowingly, with the sea breeze blowing and the sun basking, Jiang Liu was a little drowsy.Suddenly a large shadow fell overhead, covering the warm light.

Jiang Liu was stunned, and quickly raised his head.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a cold male face──his facial features were as profound and handsome as a magician's workmanship, but also revealed absolute sternness, which made people timid.Under the short silver hair is a pair of flying sharp sword eyebrows, which set off the pair of blood-red eyes, making them look even sharper.

It's Leo!

Jiang Liu stared wide-eyed at the cold-faced silver-haired swordsman, until the impatient look appeared on the other's face, and then he realized that his face blushed.

Why did he forget that the railing at the bow is Leo's queen position, and he blamed himself for thinking about things and occupying Leo's place.

Just when he wanted to get up and give way to the other party, the idea of ​​teasing Leo suddenly flashed in Jiang Liu's mind.It's been a while since he got on the boat, and he hasn't seen Leo showing any emotions other than his iceberg face.Not to mention being happy, he rarely even showed angry expressions. Except for Irean, no one on board dared to initiate a conversation with Leo.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu not only didn't get up, but looked at the silver-haired swordsman innocently, as if he wouldn't move if he didn't speak.

Leo looked at Jiang Liu with no emotion on his face. Although he didn't speak, his gaze was extremely cold, as cold as an ice pick. Although it was silent, it made everyone around him feel numb.

After a stalemate for a while, Leo suddenly turned his face away, went straight to lean on the main pole with his sword in his arms, closed his eyes and rested his mind.As soon as he closed his eyes, the oppressive feeling in the air disappeared immediately.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the instigator, Jiang Liu, who almost fell down with weak legs. It seems that it is better to avoid messing with Leo in the future.

"Pfft~" Ninja couldn't help laughing from the side, Jiang Liu knew it was Irean without looking, and he blushed in embarrassment. D_A

Irean did not make fun of Jiang Liu, but leaned lazily on the railing beside him with his arms folded, his eyes were blue and pure like top sapphires, and he looked slightly at the silver-haired swordsman with his eyes closed.

"It's the first time I've seen you compromise. It's really strange. You seem to be very special to Jiang Liu, Leo." He smiled and talked to Leo. The other party didn't even raise his eyes, just pretending not to hear.

Yi Liean didn't take it seriously, he seemed to be used to it, and turned his head to look at Jiang Liu with a smile.Today he was wearing a red long coat with golden peculiar patterns, inside it was a white silk shirt with piping, dark tight trousers outlined his strong and slender legs, and his long brilliant golden hair was covered in dark green The waistband is tied up and hangs loosely on the shoulders, making it even more handsome.

To be honest, looking at Irean like this, no one would associate him with a ferocious and cruel pirate. Instead, they would think that he is a handsome young man with a noble background, elegant manners, and an extraordinary bearing.

"Thank you for Exxon and Hank." Irean looked at Jiang Liu with a smile.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu didn't think anything of it: "This is what I should do. You said that pirates are enemies apart from companions. Since I'm on this ship, Exxon and Hank are also my companions."

Yi Lie'an froze for a moment, looked at Jiang Liu's serious and serious face, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"You're right." He turned his gaze and saw that Jiang Liu's eyes were always glued to the wooden barrel containing the iron box. He understood, and said softly, "Have you heard a story?"

"what story?"

"About the sea banshee." Irean narrowed his eyes slightly. "It is said that the sea banshee was originally a beautiful sea fairy who served the Sea God Temple. By chance, she met a handsome human man, and the two fell in love quickly. But in fact, the handsome human man was He is the incarnation of Snake, the evil snake god who covets the throne of Poseidon. He seduces the beautiful sea nymph with sweet words, and tricks the sea nymph into stealing something from the temple of the sea god—— it is sealed by the ancient gods and has a destructive power. A jewel of overwhelming power."

"After the incident, the gods were angry, and they united to defeat the snake god Snake. The sea fairy who made mistakes was also taken away by the sea god's beauty and kindness, and turned into an ugly monster. Because of her lover's betrayal, plus The originally beautiful appearance on the sea was destroyed, and the sea nymph completely degenerated into a banshee, she would lure the sailors sailing in the sea with her singing, lead them into the terrible sea full of dangerous reefs, and kill them.”

"Then 100 years later, a warrior appeared. He fought with the banshee for three days and three nights, and finally succeeded in cutting off the head of the banshee. Unfortunately, the blood dropped by the banshee became highly poisonous and flowed all over the world. The whole body of the warrior, the warrior did not escape the fate of death in the end.”

At the end of the story, Jiang Liu took a deep breath and looked at the wooden barrel full of surprise and fear.Irene smiled and continued.

"The banshee didn't die after her head was cut off, but she lost an important thing."

"Something important?"

"That's right, the gem that Snake gave her. Even after being turned into an ugly monster, the sea fairy still misses her lover."

"..."

"Of course~" Irean changed the subject and said with a smile, "This story is not the point, the point is the legend about that gem."

"Gems, are they precious?"

Irean raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"It is indeed not an ordinary gem, but it is said that as long as you find that gem and return it to the banshee, she will tell you the location of the former Sea God Temple and the cave where the huge treasure is now buried."

"Ah..." Jiang Liu's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

Irean smiled, and said another sentence: "Today is exactly the third day, and the iron box can be opened."

Jiang Liu didn't understand why Irean had to wait three days before opening the box, but since Irean said so, there must be some reason.

He didn't ask too many questions, and followed Irean curiously step by step.

As soon as they heard that the captain was going to open the iron box, the crew surrounded them in twos and threes.Jiang Liu glanced back, Leo still stayed where he was, with his eyes closed and resting his mind, not intending to come up to watch the excitement.

After everything was ready, Irean ordered the crew to fish out the iron box from the barrel.It was only then that Jiang Liu realized that the wooden barrel that was originally filled with clean seawater was now pitch black, and the transparent seawater had turned into a sticky black liquid like oil, with a stench.

Irean put on special gloves, pulled out his saber and picked it lightly, the broken iron lock on the box was loosened with a click, the iron box made a creaking sound, and the top of the iron box bounced violently open.Everyone stared intently with their eyes wide open, for fear of missing any tiny picture.

Jiang Liu poked his head, curious and a little timid in his heart. According to Irean, the sea monster should be a very ugly and disgusting creature.

Jiang Liu imagined a dry head full of pimples, rotten sores, and rotten pus in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a chill, and his body shivered.

"Huh?" Hans boldly approached and cried out in surprise, "Why isn't there anything in the box?"

When he said this, everyone also looked forward one after another, only to see that the iron box was rusty and empty, and there was indeed nothing.

"Impossible!" Big Mouth Ji Li was the first to yell strangely, "We clearly heard a cry coming from the box, how the hell is there nothing!"

"Could it be... a ghost?" A timid crew member said submissively, his legs trembling with fear.

"Fuck you, where did you come from in broad daylight..."

Before Jili finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the iron box, and a dark, unknown liquid came out of nowhere from the box, like boiling water, "gurgling" from the bottom of the iron box. It penetrated in, and soon filled most of the iron box.

A pungent fishy smell immediately filled around the nose, everyone retreated a few steps in unison, and a few grumpy crew members blurted out obscenities and cursed a few words viciously.

"Damn, what the hell is that!"

Irean remained silent, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.He drew out his saber and pointed it at the iron box from afar. The ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg on the hilt of the sword suddenly emitted a red brilliance and shot straight at the iron box.

Suddenly, a sharp roar roared out of the black water, and the black water boiled even more violently in an instant.Irean's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his white forehead.

──Just as the black water surged more and more, almost overflowing the iron box, the black long sword suddenly inserted horizontally between Irean and the iron box.

Leo motioned for Irian to step back, and he himself took Irian's place.

Jiang Liu noticed that the current Leo was quite different from usual, his blood-red eyes had turned into a strange deep purple, and a strange dark totem appeared faintly around his neck, which was faintly visible and unreal.

Leo held his sharp black sword in his hand. His sword was different from Irean's. Irean's sword was slender and long, and looked very light; The long knife is somewhat similar, and I don't know what material it is made of. The whole body is black and shiny, with a cold light.

After Leo appeared, there was a strong wind around the hull, and the originally clear sky suddenly gathered dark clouds, and black clouds piled up, forming a huge eye of the storm in the sky in a flash!

Jiang Liu was stunned, apparently the other crew members were also stunned by this sudden scene.

Leo yelled suddenly, and the black water rolled faster and faster in an instant, and the clouds in the huge eye of the storm formed by the black clouds also turned rapidly, and the traces of thunder and lightning were faintly visible .

Suddenly, accompanied by a mournful wail, the black water twisted into a jet of water and rushed out of the box!

After the black water gushed out, the liquid in the water column boiled a few times, and a human-shaped object gradually emerged, and a huge, dry and ugly human face suddenly appeared on the top, and the vaguely exposed skin had been soaked in the sea For many years, all swelled and rotted into a disgusting color like seaweed!

The monster seemed to be afraid of Leo's aura and the weapon in his hand, and kept roaring and roaring unwillingly at Leo.This sound is exactly the same as the wailing sound that Jiang Liu heard before coming from the box!

What's even more frightening is that with the screaming howl of the black water monster, large pieces of black liquid vomited out of its mouth and fell on the deck to become black sea snakes with sharp horns that looked extremely poisonous !

Could this be the legendary sea monster?

"Hiss—"

When Jiang Liu was frightened and dazed, the poisonous snake twisted its body and began to crawl around on the deck.Irean was the first to react, and stabbed the poisonous snake swimming towards him without hesitation.The poisonous snake struggled a few times, turning into a stream of black water and flowing along the deck into the sea.Irean yelled at everyone to be careful, and the crew members came back to their senses and drew their weapons to deal with the poisonous snakes.

Leo was still holding the sword and was in a stalemate with the sea monster. The sea monster was very impatient. It roared and tried to get close to Leo, but was forced back by the other party.

The dark clouds in the sky were thicker, and the wind was so strong that people could hardly keep their eyes open.Suddenly, an incomparably bright and dazzling thunderbolt broke through the sky and hit the sea monster's body!The siren let out an earth-shattering cry in an instant, and stared at Leo even more ferociously with his eyes without pupils.

The silver-haired swordsman raised his sword and approached the huge sea monster unhurriedly.The wind blew his short silver hair, and Jiang Liu glanced at it, and found that the mysterious totem on Leo's neck was fully revealed at this time—it was actually a black dragon entangled in his body!

The huge body of the siren was forced back into the iron box bit by bit. At the last moment, its withered fingers pointed in the direction of the sunset unwillingly, and then turned into black water and fell back into the iron box.

With a soft "click" sound, the iron box was automatically closed and locked, and the black cloud covering the big ship disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to its original state, as quiet as if nothing had happened!

The few remaining venomous snakes fluttered on the deck, and after a while they burst one after another, turning into black liquid and flowing back into the sea.

For a moment, everyone on board looked at each other panting heavily, and a few timid crew members even fell down on the deck.

Leo withdrew his long sword and looked at the iron box silently, not knowing what he was thinking.Jiang Liu noticed that the color of his eyes had changed back, and the black dragon pattern on his neck had disappeared.

"Huh~" Irean let out a long breath, took back his sword, and put away the iron box properly, then he ordered the helmsman to adjust the direction of the ship.

Jiang Liu stood blankly, feeling that what happened just now was like a dream... Are they really safe?Where's the Kraken?

"Recovery~" Irean patted Jiang Liu's shoulder lightly.

"Where are we... are we going?"

"Go look for gems, the siren has pointed out the direction for us."

"...that~" Jiang Liu looked at the direction Leo was in, hesitant to speak.Irean knew what he was going to ask, but as for Leo's identity, it was better for him to say it himself.

"Leo is not an ordinary person." Irean said lightly, raising the corners of his mouth. "Remember, if you encounter any danger, just follow Leo closely."

"what?"

"Hehe~" Irean left a meaningful smile and walked away slowly, "I think if the person following you is you, Leo should be very happy."
