Chapter 596 Exploration
"I once hunted a 'demon'."
Xifa smiled and said that his subtext was to tell Cattleya that he knew enough about extraordinary beings like 'demons'.
He went on to say: "The devil can always detect the malice aimed at them, and they can always detect the danger in advance, but there is a premise that the malice and danger aimed at them come from a target."
"I've always had a question, what if the malice and danger against them are plural?"
"If they knew early on that they would feel all kinds of malice when they entered a certain area, could they carefully discern who owned the malice?"
Cattleya has a lot of experience in the mysterious world, and as a "mystery peeper" she has a lot of mysterious knowledge. She can understand what Xifa means when she hears it.
"Are you referring to the natural malice of the various evil things in the 'Sea of Ruins' towards outsiders?"
Without waiting for Xifa to answer, she nodded herself: "Indeed, this ocean is full of various dangers. In the darkness of those ruins, there will always be all kinds of evil and ancient things staring at outsiders, and spreading them intentionally or unintentionally." Out of malice."
"Even if Gilcies has never been to this ocean, Agaritu will give a reminder. He will know in advance that he will be targeted by many malicious people here."
"I also think that he can't tell where the malice comes from among the many malices, and he doesn't even try to distinguish it on purpose. Therefore, for the 'devil', when there are enough malices and the distribution is wide enough, they are most proud of being able to The ability to predict danger has become useless."
Xifa clenched his fists and coughed dryly: "This is just my guess, I can't be sure, so if we detect danger, we will stop the operation. Even if we can't get the 'Fountain of Youth', we must evacuate as soon as possible."
"In order to ensure this, the 'Future' must not be lost. After we disembark, it's best to hide it somewhere else."
Cattleya pushed down her heavy glasses and said, "I'll let Frank drive the boat away later and hide it."
"By the way, keep Church on the boat to avoid accidents." Xifa said lightly, he did not disclose Church's performance in the dream, lest the "Admiral of the Stars" speculate that he can move freely in the dream. fact.
Cattleya immediately grasped the crux of the problem: "Do you think Church might rob the Fountain of Youth?"
"I would do the same thing if I were me." Xifa said in his heart, communicating with smart people is easy, and many things don't need to be explained, and the other party can know what he means.
'Admiral of the Stars' said calmly: "Okay, I will let him stay on board."
Arriving near the ruins of the 'Fountain of Youth', several small boats were put down on the 'Future'. Before that, Xifa went back to the room and handed over the 'Cane of Resentment' and 'Whisper of Depravity' to Secret Puppet for use, and he took them with him. With 'Devil May Cry' and 'Mrs. Christie', he has two demigod-level items on him.
With Levtor's support, it's hard to say whether he can win against a character at the upper demigod level, but Sifa thinks he should be able to do it.
Just to be careful, he also carried the "Traveler's History" with him, and if the situation was wrong, he would "teleport" it back to Sonia Island.
When she came to the deck again, Cattleya made preparations. The "Admiral of the Stars" herself planned to disembark. She also brought the second "Bloodless" Heath and the female pirate Nina.
In addition to him and Secret Puppet, Xifa also brought Calvin and Nefer.
They took three other small boats and crossed the water between the "Future" and the ruins. After a while, they stepped on the soft sand.
Xifa looked around, there were still trees growing on the ruins, if it weren't for the extreme danger, then this place still looks like a good place for vacation.
After all, the sun is so bright, the sea is so clear, the beach is close at hand, and the trees are shady, the scenery is quite good.
In the distance, the 'Future' has already begun to move, leaving the ruins and going to hide elsewhere.
"Let's go." Cattleya was wearing a classic black robe, and she didn't look like she was going to explore and take risks, but rather like she was going to a mysterious party.
Her robe looked out of place on the sunny beach. Behind her, the pale-faced and slightly uncoordinated 'Bloodless' Heath was almost walking in Cattleya's shadow, looking sneaky, but that figure The exaggerated female pirate walked beside her gracefully, and cast ambiguous glances at Xifa from time to time.
They went deep into the ruins, passed the broken gray walls and stone pillars, and found the gap leading to the underground area. Looking down under the sunlight, there was an undulating and uneven ground below.
The drop between the ground and the ground is seven or eight meters. Xifa threw a stone down, judging by the echo, there is a large space below.
"Levtor and I will go down first to have a look and make sure it's safe before you come down."
Xifa glanced at Cattleya and said, the female captain did not object, she nodded slightly.
He jumped down, and used the flames gushing from his palm to adjust the falling direction and cushioning. After Sifa fell to the ground steadily, there was a heavy landing sound behind him. He didn't need to look back, and he knew that Lev Tor had come down.
He asked Secret Puppet to release dawn, form armor, and make a posture ready to fight at any time. Sifa himself unleashed flames, illuminating the surroundings.
It is not difficult to see by the light of the fire that this is an open space, the sound of water rushing, and the air is warm, making weeds grow up to the knees on the ground.
Xifa looked around and saw towering or leaning pillars and statues buried in weeds, the collapsed stone bridge across the creek, and the square stone platform that seemed to be used for sacrifices.
Suddenly Levtor turned and looked at the collapsed stone bridge, to be precise, at the small river over there.
Xifa followed suit and saw shadows twisting in the dark by the river, followed by the rustling of weeds, and several figures could be seen faintly.
Without thinking about it, Xifa shook his wrist, shaking out a few balls of flames, which fell around the river, where the haystacks were immediately ignited, and the flames rose up, allowing Xifa to see a few gray creatures appearing by the river.
They have human heads, beautiful and charming female faces, and high bulging chests that are very eye-catching, but most of the two plump peaks are covered with gray fish scales. When Xifa saw them flapping with their huge fish tails When you see a rock on the bank of a river, you know what it is.
That's a mermaid!
It's just that these creatures, which should be called beautiful, have scales falling off here, bones protruding there, and even half of the face of one has no flesh and blood, exposing the mouth inside.
When their gray pupils looked towards Xifa, Xifa was behind the mermaid, adding the label of 'living corpse'!
