218 Spying in the dark
a few minutes later.
by the time gune arrived at the kitchen, the demonic whale adventurer team’s three vice-captains were gathered in the dining room on the second floor.
Marter also served gune his breakfast, fish on top of rice.
“Have we arrived at the misty shadow islands?”
gune asked as he ate his breakfast.
It was a bit unusual to call Gu nie over for breakfast this early in the morning.
“Mm! We’re almost there. We can even say that we’ve already reached the edge of the fog and shadow islands.”
hearing this, gu nie heaved a sigh of relief. they’ve finally arrived.
the first mate, arsen horwell, replied quickly while eating breakfast.
“The reason why I called you here so early today and so urgently …”
it’s mainly because of Yingluo. Jason lowered his voice. “there are already members of the sea tribe who have their eyes on us.”
ever since we entered the foggy sea, haven’t the sea tribes been paying attention to us? ” Gu nie asked after some thought.
“But it’s different this time,”
“In the past, they were a deep-sea Race. they may hate us for sailing on the sea, but it’s not to the point where they would risk their lives to fight us.”
” and in those few battles, you also know that those guys fled after suffering. ”
and this time, it’s the Yaksha fishmen who have their eyes on us.
these guys have always regarded the misty shadow islands as the Holy Land of their clan.
no one is allowed to touch or even land.
” if more than a dozen sea demon ships come over, those yaksha mermen might not dare to come and watch us. ”
“but we only have one sea demon ship, and we don’t have any high-level extraordinaires to keep watch. the yaksha fishmen will definitely test us.”
” these yaksha mermen are very cautious. according to past information, they will have an observation period of half a day to a day before they launch an attack. ”
therefore, we should take advantage of the half-day to one-day gap before they launch an attack.
” captain, you’ll first need to borrow a mystical item to conduct an exploration of the foggy shadow islands. ”
” if i can enter to search for treasures and gain wealth, then needless to say, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought beautifully. i must beat them until they feel the pain and make them keep a respectful distance from me. ”
“This way, we can safely search for treasures.”
” if we can’t get into the fog and shadow islands, there’s no need to fight to the death with these yaksha mermen. after all, there are a few powerful high-level mermen in their group. ”
” however, the misty shadow islands cover a large area, and there are many submerged reefs on the surrounding coastline. ”
the source power near the misty shadow islands is very strange, and there are several places where strange vortexes appear.
in addition, the core of the archipelago, the ‘Shadow Island’, has a mysterious deadly force that will spread and kill people from time to time.
“The sea demon ship can’t get too close.”
“Our plan is to let the sea demon ship anchor here and have a large number of crew members guard it.”
and I’ll bring you, Captain. The two of us will quietly enter the position at the edge of the misty shadow islands.
I can make you invisible. Besides, it’s early in the morning. There are no powerful Yaksha fishmen nearby. They won’t be able to find us.
it’s a good time to explore the misty shadow islands.
“This is also the reason why we woke up so early.”
after discovering that the yaksha fishmen were stalking them near the fog shadow islands, they had no choice but to leave.
the tactical quality and caution that jason horwell had displayed were far more reliable than guni’s captain.
“you don’t need to go over, i can go over by myself.”
gu nie said after some thought.
“what?”
The few of them looked over in surprise.
Gu nie said this because he had opened the system just now.
A strange encounter event appeared on the strange encounter page.
even though he had only skimmed through it.
but gunie was sure that the misty shadow islands only had one treasure trove.
the past few encounters had made it clear to gu nie that this one could be another opportunity to change him.
In fact, every member of the demonic whale adventurer team would benefit from this.
facing the gazes of the others, gu nie explained in a soft voice.
” i have an invisibility scroll, and i can easily walk on the surface of the sea without causing any abnormal movements. ”
“it’s much more convenient for me to move on the sea than the two of us.”
” very soon, i will be able to circle around the misty shadow islands. ”
” and if anything happens to you, i’ll have to take care of you. ”
“So, I’ll go alone.”
Gugne’s words were reasonable, and after he finished, Yasen couldn’t even find a rebuttal.
“just let captain go alone!” old sea map said at this time.
“The captain came as quickly as he left.”
moreover, as a 4th rank expert, you are the core strength of the magic whale. If those Yaksha fishmen launch an attack, the more you are here, the stronger our defense will be.
“good. i’ll guard the magic whale,” Yasen nodded.
“captain, you must be careful when you’re alone,”
“i know, just wait for my good news!” gu nie nodded.
…………
about a kilometer away from the magic whale and the sea demon ship.
In the dark and silent depths of the fog.
On the surface of the sea.
There were more than fifty Yaksha fishmen here.
These Yaksha fishmen had horn fins on their heads, long and strong arms, and slender bodies. They had a fierce and brutal aura, full of the fierceness and killing intent unique to deep-sea tribes.
There were more than 50 Yaksha fishmen, and each of them was holding an icy blue Trident, which was glowing with a cold light. these tridents were also the origin of the yaksha fishmen tribe’s name.
There were more than 50 Yaksha fishmen with fierce auras. Most of them were level two, a few were level three, and the two leading them were level four.
among the 50-odd yaksha fishmen, there were two type 4 humans.
At this time, in front of the two tier 4 humans, a ” water magic mirror ” with a diameter of about one meter for long-distance surveillance appeared.
At this moment, the magic whale appeared in the water mirror.
“Lord arus, you should know the duty this time better than us. the high priest’s sacrifice is not allowed to make any mistakes.”
“what if these guys interrupt the high priest’s promotion ceremony?”
“All of you will be sacrificed.”
the slightly chubby ” wagner ” said softly with a faint smile on his face.
the type 4 yaksha fishman named arus said gloomily, ” “don’t worry. we’ll attack first and test the strength of the humans on the sea demon ship.”
“If they’re too weak, we’ll just exterminate them.”
“if they’re stronger, we’ll need to invite the high-level experts of our clan to come over and exterminate these guys of unknown origin.”
or kill some of them, then capture some and bring them to the sacrificial ceremony. I believe the high priest will like these sacrifices.
“Very good!” Wagner looked at the sea demon ship in the water magic mirror and gently nodded.
” although i don’t know where you came from, coming to the misty shadow islands at this time is simply courting death. the birth of a transcendent master is not something you can disturb. what a group of sad guys. ”
…………
Ten minutes later.
in the captain’s cabin, gu nie had entered a state of integration with his dark power upanishad.
Gu nie took out a high-level invisibility scroll.
with the activation of the origin power, gu nie’s body disappeared in a flash of white light.
the invisible gu nie looked at his body.
His body was in a weak transparent state.
Gu nie was looking at himself in this state. To the eyes of others, Gu nie didn’t exist at all.
he climbed out of the captain’s cabin through the open window.
The invisible gune jumped over the side of the ship and landed on the sea in the deep fog. He didn’t cause any ripples, and the waves were still rising and falling.
gu nie then looked around.
before this, I felt like I was being spied on. Now that I’m invisible, I don’t feel like I’m being spied on. It must be the Yaksha fishmen.
” we have to act as soon as possible and come back before the yaksha fishmen attack. ”
he then looked in the direction of the shadow islands and quickly moved forward.
as they moved forward, gu nie opened the system and looked at the side adventure.
[ adventure: door of ancient shadows ]
[ Adventure 1: Holy Shadow Rune ]
[ adventure 2: holy shadow magic stone ]
[ adventure event 3: door of ancient shadows ]
Gu nie slowly opened the details of the three adventures, as well as the things he needed to pay attention to.
about ten minutes later.
At the end of the dark fog ahead, he could already see some huge and strangely shaped reefs.
gune had already reached the edge of the misty shadow islands.
he looked at the grotesquely shaped rocks that looked like some kind of roaring, strange shadow beast.
gu nie’s mouth curled into a smile.
” no wonder the misty shadow islands have become a mysterious and strange area of death in the ocean, full of terrifying power. ”
” the shadow beasts, who are suspected to have the power of the dominator’s bloodline and strange innate abilities, live here. ”
“it’s not strange at all that this place has become a forbidden land.”
gu nie learned about it through the system.
On the core Island near the west side of the misty shadow islands, which was also the ‘Shadow Island’ that people were most afraid of, lived a strange species that was neither flesh, blood, soul, nor energy-the shadow Beast!
The name “Shadow Beast” had been given to him by the system.
“Shadow beasts” were creatures that didn’t have a body of flesh and blood, nor did they have a soul, and they didn’t absorb any form of natural origin power.
Therefore, it would not be attacked by any form of physical attacks, soul attacks, and even more so, it would not be attacked by spells in the form of energy.
The only thing that could affect it was the shadow!
