Starting From Zero

Chapter 36 Weird Dragon Island

"Pick up Xiaoyue? So we are going to Dragon Island?"

"of course. "

"That's great. She said she wanted to come out of Long Island this morning!"

"Sister Yue, do you sisters look alike?" the sister behind the boat asked Ziyue.

"Of course. We are twins."

Another girl said: "I thought you and the president were twins!" The girls behind laughed.

"Hey! I'm so miserable as a leader! I usually treat you too well, but it seems I will have to strictly control you in the future."

"Haha! Who told you to recruit girls in our guild?" the girl at the helm joked.

Another girl who 'operates' a turbine also joked: "That's right, it makes it inconvenient for us to find a handsome guy. Hey! There is a shortage of resources!"

"Is that what you want? Tell me earlier! Next time I will take you to socialize with other guilds. It's hard to find three-legged toads, but there are many people with two legs." I also joked with them happily.

Everyone talked and laughed and the journey became less boring, and the time passed quickly. The journey was not completely calm. We encountered several British warships along the way. They started firing from a long way away, but we ignored them. It was strange that we were able to hit them from such a distance! We are a high-speed reconnaissance ship and can easily get rid of our pursuers. The chartman measured the bearing and reported that we had arrived at the target area, and now we began to wander around aimlessly. Dragon Island is invisible from the outside, and it is impossible to see it without entering the illusion zone. With a glimmer of hope, Amynis tried to break the illusion, but apparently the dragon clan's group illusion Amynis was unable to do anything.

I had no choice but to look for it with my eyes. Fortunately, our guild has a relatively complete range of guardian beasts. Spears fly fast, steel claws are good in water, and phoenix dragons can jump in space. All three can help find things. Ziyue also sent out her giant dragon Skyfire to help find Dragon Island. Of course, my magic pets can't be idle. Those who can fly and swim will go out to help, so that we can cover a large area. Anyway, Dragon Island is not too small, so everyone started to push forward at a distance of one kilometer.

We were walking well. A mm spear on our side suddenly disappeared from everyone's field of vision. The sky fire next to it also disappeared. We immediately knew that we had found the island. Sure enough, Skyfire and the disappeared spear suddenly appeared in that position, and Ziyue immediately shouted: "Found it."

The helmsman immediately turned the wheel, and the speedboat swung its head and rushed over. After putting away the summoned creatures, we entered that area, and it felt like we had passed through a wall of water. After passing through the water wall, we no longer saw the endless sea in front of us. There was an island two kilometers away from us. Saying it is an island can actually be regarded as land, because its area is a bit exaggerated. There is obviously a compressed space here. The area of ​​the island is definitely not as big as it looks from the outside. The Dragon Clan seems to be very good at this technology. The three-layer compressed space that protects the bones that I encountered in the Dragon Clan Cemetery last time is a similar device.

As the boat approached, we discovered that the island was bigger than what we saw. It felt like the space here was misplaced. The distance that originally seemed to be only two kilometers was actually more than ten kilometers long. It took our boat a long time to run. Go to the shore.

"Look over there." A girl pointed to the sky above the island. "Is that a dragon?"

I saw a few small black spots tumbling up and down in the center of the distant island. It seemed like some large creatures were moving, probably a group of giant dragons. It looks like we've found the right place. He turned around and said to the girl behind the boat, "Get closer."

The speedboat quickly approached the island, but we did not land. The beach outside Long Island is very gentle, and the boat ran aground more than thirty meters away from the shore. The draft of our speedboat is just over one meter, and the beach here is so gentle!

I jumped out of the boat with Ziyue and let Lucky go and let him transport the boat to the shore and put it there. It would be safer to put it on the shore without anyone on board. The 6 of us hiked to the island. Except for Ziyue, all of us were fascinated by the beautiful scenery on the coast. The white sandy beaches and clear water, the dragon tribe really knows how to find a place.

"Do you four want to sunbathe here or do you want to follow me into the island?"

"The auxiliary professions we all learned have no combat effectiveness, and you will be a burden with us. It's better for you two to go to the island. Don't worry about us, it doesn't matter if we live here for ten days and a half because it is so beautiful."

"Okay then! Don't run around. If you have something to do, just contact us through chat. This is an island, so private chat should be available."

"Then let's go first." Ziyue walked towards the forest behind the beach first.

I followed into the forest and quickly caught up with Ziyue. "You can chat privately during the experiment to see if Lin Yue is here? Wouldn't it be more convenient for her to come out to pick us up?"

"Okay." Ziyue opened SiLiao, and I also opened SiLiao to activate the three-party negotiation mode.

Ziyue's voice immediately appeared in our ears. "Sister? Ziri? How can you get through SiLiao?"

"We have arrived at Dragon Island!"

"What? Have you arrived at Dragon Island? Where are you?"

"We don't know. Anyway, it's the outskirts of Dragon Island. Can't you transform? Fly around the island and we can see you."

"No! If I could fly around the island I wouldn't be on the island long ago!"

"Ah? Why?"

"Dragon Island is divided into inner and outer islands. My place is the inner island, and your place is the outer island. I can't get out of the inner island, and the whole place is closed by a barrier."

"Do you know the structure outside? At least tell us how to get there!"

"How do I know how to get out if I can't get out? Come on and try! I've been here for so long. Get me out!"

I 'interrupted' and said: "Lin Yue, we will try to enter, but you can't be idle. Now I'll give you a task. Get more people. Just say that your people are coming to pick you up and ask them if they have any Those who want to leave. Just say that our guild will accept people. It’s best if they are willing to join. If they don’t join, that’s fine, but they must be given benefits before we can take them away.”

"Okay, I'll take care of this. Just come here quickly. Get me out and I can at least persuade a few friends I know here to join you."

"That's great, we'll be here soon, just wait."

We cut off the private chat and had to start moving forward again. I didn’t expect that Dragon Island was actually divided into inner and outer islands. The road in the forest was not easy to walk, so we summoned the steel claw to walk instead. Anyway, he ran faster than us. Apart from towering ancient trees, we saw some unknown plants along the way, but we never encountered any monsters. Could it be that all the monsters on Dragon Island have been cleaned up by the giant dragon?

"What is that?" Ziyue suddenly discovered something swinging in the woods in front of her.

I looked carefully. That thing didn't look big, so it probably wasn't a dragon. There are too many trees to see clearly, but it does seem to be some kind of humanoid creature, and its movements are very strange, making it look like a zombie. "Why do I feel like a zombie?"

"Impossible! The Dragon Clan has always disliked undead creatures. How could they let zombies wander around on their chassis?"

"That's why I'm surprised! Let's get closer and take a closer look."

As we approached the black shadow, we were shocked. It was actually a zombie, and it was very rotten. It was wandering around aimlessly right now, but when it saw us, it immediately pounced over. I directly extended eternity and easily burned the zombies to ashes with the flames on my sword. Although the zombies were solved, our problem was not solved. How come zombies appear on Dragon Island?

Continuing forward, no more than three meters away, Ziyue and I stopped at the same time. The trees around us actually have a clear dividing line here. From here onwards towards the island, all the trees are gray and black, and many big trees grow in abnormal and twisted shapes. It doesn't look normal. It seems that the vitality on the periphery of Dragon Island is completely inconsistent with the terrifying atmosphere inside this dividing line! How could Dragon Island be like this? Looking at the dark and gloomy forest in front and the green forest behind, these are two extremes. What happened to Dragon Island?

"Are we still going to move forward?" Ziyue asked.

"Of course." I nodded affirmatively. "It's just a dark area, so it can't stop us. In fact, to me, light sacrifices are more scary than zombies."

"Forgot that you were born in darkness, let's move on."

The two of us took two deep breaths of air and then began to direct the steel claws to move forward. As we went deeper into the forest, the surroundings became darker and darker. Originally, the surrounding plants were all gray ordinary plants, which were just different in color from the plants outside. But slowly, the surrounding plants began to transform into some strange plants. These plants have several characteristics in common. For example, they all have red markings, and the surface of almost every plant is covered with black translucent slime. It looks so disgusting. How disgusting. We can even see obvious black air swaying among the trees in the distance. How did such a strange environment occur?

After continuing forward for a while, a large number of zombies and skeletons began to appear around us, but these are low-level undead and should not have such a serious dark atmosphere! The aura of death in the Dark Temple is not as strong as here! After walking for a while, the forest suddenly disappeared. We stepped back and the forest recovered. When we moved forward, the forest disappeared again. Another illusion! Dragon Island only has these things. There is no other way to call Amynis out to help check the situation.

Amynis just looked around. "This is a blocking illusion. It's nothing. The forest ends here. Those undead spirits are real, and the trees here are also real. The forest in front is fake and is used to block the view from behind. That’s for construction.”

"architecture?"

Amynis touched it with one hand, and the forest illusion in front disappeared immediately, and a huge mountain wall thrust straight into the sky at a vertical angle. There is a gate on this mountain wall, which is actually the entrance to some kind of underground building. From the appearance of this entrance, it looks more like the style of the dark forces.

"Can I go up here?" Ziyue looked at the cliff.

Amynis shook his head. "The top is sealed by a barrier, so even flying up there is useless."

"Then we have no choice but to go here!" I put away Emmenis and took the lead to approach the entrance.

The width of the entrance in front of us is about 5 meters and the height is about 4 meters. Although it is relatively large for people, it is really inconvenient to enter on the steel claws. I had no choice but to put away the steel claws and proceed on foot. The entrance is made of ordinary rocks, without any decoration, no words, not even a pattern. The inside of the passage is entirely made of stone like the outside. It is not only quite spacious but also quite bright. The light is emitted by the torches on the walls on both sides of the passage. These torches are skulls, and the flames are sprayed from the eyes and mouths of these skulls. What is strange is that the flame is white and very bright, as if it was specially prepared for lighting.

"Isn't it too gloomy here?" Although Ziyue has a masculine personality, she is a woman after all, so she is still a little scared when she sees this situation. In fact, it's not just her, I'm also a little fussy. The atmosphere of this place is really suitable for a horror movie! I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a sign on the wall with an evil spirit inside.

After walking forward for a while, Ziyue pulled me and said, "Listen. What's the sound?"

"It seemed like the sound of water." We continued to move forward, and the sound became clearer and clearer. "It seems to be the sound of water."

"Isn't it right? This sound doesn't sound like water! Why does it sound sticky!"

"I don't know. You'll find out when you get to the front."

After we continued to walk forward for a while, a stone door suddenly blocked the way, but when we approached the door, the stone door suddenly rose up on its own and shocked us. After the stone door was raised, the scene inside was even more terrifying. Behind the door is a circular room about 18 meters in diameter. The floor of the entire room is lower than ours, and we have to go down several steps to get to the room. What surprises us is the ground. It is now completely soaked in red liquid, so I don't know how big the gap is from us. These red liquids are quite viscous and have a pungent fishy smell. It is obvious that they are blood.

There is a circular platform in the center of the room, about 6 meters in diameter. The round platform is a little more than one meter high above the liquid surface, and there are steps connected to the floor of the room. There are four two-meter-high stone pillars placed on this round platform. Each pillar has a embossed statue of a skull. The blood flows from the mouths of these four skeletons.

These four skulls are facing away from each other, which means they are all facing outward. The direction each skeleton faces is a door, and one of them faces the door I entered through. There is also a stone platform in the center of the high platform, but this one is smaller. The small stone platform is less than half a meter in diameter and a little over one meter in height. There is a mirror placed on this small stone platform. The gold frame is circular. There is a rotating shaft at both ends of the diameter line of the circular mirror connected to a crescent-shaped base, and this base can also be rotated, so that this The mirror can be rotated at will like a searchlight. There is a light source on the ceiling directly above the mirror. A red light shines down vertically on the mirror and is reflected back to us. However, due to the angle problem, we cannot see it. Where have you been?

I tentatively walked down first, and after a few steps I walked directly into the bloody water. It feels like blood has much greater resistance than water, making it very difficult to take steps. Ziyue felt disgusted at first, but she couldn't stop here and had to follow her. The stone door behind us closed automatically with a bang as soon as we stepped down the steps. Ziyue rushed back nervously, but the door opened again. After several experiments, we determined that this was not a mechanism to seal us off, but an automatic door that would open automatically when someone approached.

I walked around the room and found that the other three doors could not be opened, which was really depressing. Looking back at the central government's platform, I feel that there are still some problems. The first thing we noticed when we walked onto the platform was the mirror. The red light it reflected happened to shine on the back of the skull pillar opposite the gate in the direction we came in, and the illuminated place happened to be a circle. shaped crystal. We looked at the backs of the other three skull stone sculptures, and there were also crystals.

"The light shines on the crystal in the direction we came in. Only the door in that direction can be opened and closed. Do you want the light to shine on the statue on which side you want to open the door?" Ziyue asked.

"That's right! Let's try it out." I walked up and grabbed the mirror and started turning it. As the mirror rotates, the refraction naturally rotates. When it falls on another crystal, we don't notice any change. Ziyue ran to the door in the direction of the statue where the light was shining and tried it. As expected, the door opened automatically. It seems that whichever door is open has to be illuminated by the camera. "Ziyue, which way are we going?"

"It seems that we have been walking in a straight line from now on. We are going to the center of the island. I think we should take the opposite door."

"Okay, let me turn it around." He moved the mirror to reflect the crystal behind the stone statue opposite the door we entered through, and then came to the door with Ziyue. The stone door rose with a crash, and it was indeed used in this way.

There is actually a slope behind this door, and it goes downwards. There are two relief skulls on both sides of the door. These two relief skulls are also spitting out blood, and the blood flows down the slope into the distance.

"This... doesn't seem right?" I looked at the ramp.

Ziyue also looked at it and said: "I also feel that something is wrong, but since it is open, let's try it?"

"Okay then! Just listen to you and give it a try."

We walked into the slope corridor inside the door. After the door was closed, the blood fountains on the walls on both sides suddenly increased their flow by more than ten times. This place was originally a slope, but now there is suddenly such a large amount of blood, where can we stand? I felt my feet slipping. We both fell together and were rushed down the slope with blood and water.

As the passage becomes narrower and narrower, the blood gradually gathers and becomes deeper, and the slope seems to increase, making the blood flow faster and faster. Although I don’t know if this is the right way, I can be sure that if this is the wrong way, I may not be able to go back the way I came.

After rushing forward with the blood flow for a while, I suddenly felt weightless and realized that we were sprayed out from the passage on the wall.

"Ah...! Plop!" Following the cry from far to near, Ziyue and I entered the water one after another.

It took me a long time before my head emerged from the bloody water, and Ziyue emerged from more than ten meters away. Looking back, I was shocked. Behind us is a wall several hundred meters wide and one to two hundred meters high. There is a row of more than a dozen square holes in the upper part of the wall. We flew out of one of these holes. These caves are now spewing blood out like dozens of blood waterfalls. Under these blood waterfalls, what we are soaking in now is a square blood pool hundreds of meters wide like the wall, where a large amount of blood gathers. We just rushed down from such a high place without touching the bottom. It is estimated that the depth of this pool is no less than 10 meters.

I looked at the other side of the wall. The shore was just a few dozen meters away. The rocky shore is very similar to the edge of a bathhouse, but the difference is that the water here is full of blood. There is a lot of space here, so I simply summoned Lucky and pulled us all to the shore. Lucky didn't like the smell here very much. After he rescued us, he actively asked to go back to the space. I had no choice but to take him back again.

Ziyue had just been soaked in blood and did not dare to speak, for fear of accidentally getting blood in her mouth. The first thing she said after coming up was: "I must ask Xiaoyue to give me the Long Yuan limited edition perfume when I go back. I'm so unlucky for her!"

"Who told her she was your sister?"

"I'm only ten seconds older than her."

"That's because you are older."

"I wish I had let her come out first!"

Ziyue's words made me laugh. "Is it up to you to decide this?"

"Anyway, go back to her and ask for reward."

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly!"

I pulled Ziyue and walked toward the only door in the room. After passing through this door, I simply entered another world. I thought I was abnormal.

"What...what is this?" Ziyue looked at the vast white field in front of her and was completely dumbfounded.

What we saw after we opened the door was a large field of snow, and a biting cold wind blew over to let us know that this was not an illusion. Ziyue and I both put down our masks in unison. It was really cold. If we didn't close the armor, we would freeze to death.
