At this moment, Alka was wearing a pair of glasses.
Through these glasses, Alka can clearly scan the people in front of him. What level of strength are they at?
"Five three-stage ones...one four-stage one."
It is obvious that this group of people are quite strong, and can even be said to be very strong.
I just don’t know how many of these people have treasures.
"Well... okay, all of them." Alka complained silently.
These glasses are used to analyze energy, but for individuals with intelligent life, the scanned information is very accurate.
But the group of people in front of him did not hide the fact that they possessed treasures at all. I don’t know if they wanted to give Alka and the others a warning.
These people's treasures were placed outside like this, emitting faint fluctuations.
The fluctuations of the treasure were extremely obvious, and definitely intentional.
Otherwise the treasure is a restrained, common item that is difficult to spot.
The group of people just walked over without showing any signs of attacking.
After arriving at the stone tower, everyone could observe them clearly.
The six people were obviously from the same family. They all looked relatively young, except for the leader who seemed to be in his 30s.
But in this world where magic exists, if nothing unexpected happens and the normal life span is long, people in their 30s are considered young.
This group of people all look somewhat similar, all with dark green hair.
The leader, who was at the fourth stage of Dao strength, looked at Alka, and they nodded politely.
He asked tentatively, "Hello?"
This language is understood by everyone.
Because this is the common language of the Home Sea.
The moment he heard this, Alka crossed his arms and nodded.
"Hello."
Seeing Alka's gesture, the six strangers in front of him immediately did the same thing and crossed their arms.
He said, "May the Virgin Mary bless you."
"May the Virgin Mary bless you." Alka and Xiadeti Jason said, making the same gesture.
Some of them are followers of Our Lady.
It was obvious that the person opposite was also a believer of the Virgin Mary.
This is how both parties identify their respective components.
Alka had learned this from Xia Daiti before, which was the ability to sense the other person's aura when they prayed for the Virgin Mary's blessing.
Only true believers can obtain it.
Apparently, the other party also had this ability, because after Alka and the others made gestures and chanted the Holy Mother, their attitude changed from strange and vigilant to relaxed.
One could even see that they were visibly relaxed, as if they had already labeled Alka and the others as safe.
"I didn't expect to meet two saints here. It's an honor." The fourth-stage person in the lead used some unknown method to directly identify the identities of the two people.
But when both parties are Marianists, this is obviously a good thing.
And Alka and his men were clearly outnumbered and outmatched.
Having a better identity will help them to communicate peacefully.
Then he immediately said: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Maru Tarutas, and the people behind me are my people."
"Arka Lagu, nice to meet you all."
Everyone briefly introduced themselves and the atmosphere was good, with everyone being friendly.
The other party was also unusually polite in his words. I wonder if it was because of his status as a saint.
"Did you come to this island by accident? Or did you come here specifically for the trial?" Malu asked curiously.
The questions asked were restrained and not offensive.
"We arrived here accidentally, and are undergoing the trial with the help of a guide."
Hearing this, Maru nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "Then you must remember the location of this island. It is best to make a landmark flag. This island will not move around."
It is obvious that this is a way for the other party to express goodwill and directly reveal a message.
This information is important, but it also depends on whether Alka and the others will discover it later.
"Of course, we will definitely do that when we leave, thank you for your kindness."
"Haha, you're welcome. After all, we are all believers of the Virgin Mary, and it's only natural for us to help each other ."
Alka smiled and nodded.
He had completely let down his guard and became easy-going.
Both sides had already let down their guard, because faith in the Virgin Mary was the best proof of identity.
In this world where gods do exist, true faith cannot be mixed with any falsehood.
Especially the Virgin Mary, if you don't believe in her teachings and your behavior doesn't conform to her ideals, she won't even look at you even if you pray to her name.
You must truly agree with her ideas from the bottom of your heart, or your actions must be in line with the teachings of God.
Otherwise the requirements cannot be met.
Being able to become a follower of the Virgin Mary means that at least you are not a villain, and most of them must be of the lawful camp.
After a brief chat, Maru discovered that Alka and his team seemed to have some members who were undergoing trials.
"Are you all taking the trial today?" Maru asked.
Alka nodded: "Yes, our refresh time is today."
Hearing this, Malu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we won't bother you anymore. We'll come back later to stagger the trial time with you."
"Sorry, this couldn't be better."
"No, we came later and should follow the order."
Maru smiled and nodded to everyone as a farewell, then left with his family members.
Looking at these people leaving, Xia Daiti suddenly said, "They really believe in the Virgin Mary. The people they brought with them all have the surname Tarutas, which means their entire family is a believer of the Virgin Mary. In this case, they must know the location of the Cathedral of the Church of the Virgin Mary of the Infinite Sea, right?"
Hearing this, Alka nodded, it is very likely.
It's strange that it took them so long to come to the Endless Sea.
It was also on Southern Cross Island that I learned about the existence of the Church of Our Lady.
The problem is that the island does not believe in the Virgin Mary, and there are very few believers. The Virgin Mary's missionary work there is not going well, and the church is only in the central city of the capital island.
They had never been there, so they didn't know much about the church situation in the Expanse.
I didn't hear any useful information.
Now we have encountered an entire family that believes in the Virgin Mary, and from what the triangle said, this family has obviously existed in the Endless Sea for a long time.
It is obviously safer for fellow Marianists to ask them about the church or main gathering place of the Marian Virgin.
Although this would clearly expose the fact that they were from the Four Gods Sea.
After all, as a saint of the Virgin Mary, not knowing the Cathedral of the Church of the Virgin Mary in the Infinite Sea would only expose this possibility.
"They should stay on the island for a while. Don't worry, just observe them for a while."
It is always better to be cautious, even if the other person is a believer of the Virgin Mary.
…
Juanlu, who was currently taking on the challenge in the Tower of Trials, officially passed the third level.
Covered in blood, he struggled to lean against the stone wall of the space.
The lungs were like bellows, breathing frantically, making leaking sounds, and restoring one's strength.
He was not in a good condition.
A severe tear appeared on his thigh, the bone was almost visible through the wound , and a large amount of blood was still flowing out.
He also suffered some internal injuries.
After Juanlu simply bandaged the wound, he took out a large piece of beef leg from his pocket ring.
He held the beef leg and ate it quickly and voraciously.
The food he took into his stomach quickly turned into energy in his body and rushed to his thighs under his control.
The injury to the thigh was not so easy to heal, but miraculously the bleeding stopped.
For Juanlu, that was enough.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately got up and, relying on his newly recovered strength, hurried to the stone door and pushed it open with all his might.
The enormous force he exerted caused blood to spurt out of the wound on his body again, but it at least allowed him to open a gap in the door, and he rolled directly through it.
As his body passed through the crack in the door, a wave of force swept through him.
The wounds on his body healed in an instant, and he even considerately washed away the blood on his body.
The wounds inside the body also healed, and the pain turned into relief.
Juanlu, refreshed, stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not move forward immediately. Instead, he sat down where he was, took out a large amount of food from his pocket ring, stuffed it into his mouth frantically, and chewed it non-stop.
Such a wild eating habit made him quickly eat food that even exceeded his weight.
One could even see that he had become visibly fatter and looked much stronger.
Even his once flat, muscular abdomen had turned into a round beer belly that was slightly bulging.
Juanlu, who had gained a little weight simply by doing so, finally stopped eating and let out a breath.
He picked up a pot of water and drank it in big gulps.
The batting bat reappeared in his hand.
The bat has long been updated and modified to become very powerful.
Juanlu became more and more adept at using this weapon.
He walked forward with his weapon in hand.
The area on this level is similar to a swamp, surrounded by all kinds of strange plants and emitting a strange smell.
Under your feet are quagmires and swamps of varying depths, covered with various types of vegetation, making you unaware of the depth of the place.
The entire swamp environment was a bit gloomy. The further we went, the worse the environment became, and there was even an extremely pungent smell.
These pungent smells mixed with even more disgusting smells can even irritate people's eyes and make them almost cry.
A foul odor came, mixed with the smell of decay.
Juanlu's expression was frozen. The surrounding environment alone was enough to make him feel overwhelmed.
Magic surrounded his face, helping him to expel the air around him.
"Lucy is really disgusting. You are targeting me like this, right?"
Lucy is his instructor, and this is the most important layer, and once he passes it, his performance is very likely to allow him to successfully gain the motivation to move forward.
And it is obvious that this layer was deliberately created by the instructor and targeted his pain points.
As a chef, Juanlu has very strict requirements on his sense of taste and smell. He even goes for special training to achieve precise standards.
Such an environment was unbearable for him.
Because his brain will involuntarily distinguish the smells he smells, what they are made of and why they become like this.
This involuntary feeling made him feel nauseous and exhausted.
The ground in front of him suddenly began to bubble and boil. The green liquid emitted an even more foul smell as the bubbles boiled.
There was even some dark green smoke floating upwards.
A rotten claw stretched out from the liquid, then grabbed the mud next to it, and the bony fingers sank into the mud. With a sudden lift, it pulled its entire body out.
"Oh! God, Lucy deserves to die!" Looking at the creature in front of him, Juanlu began to feel physically unwell.
The creature in front of him was an upright wild boar, the problem was that his fat flesh was covered with traces of something like decay.
One could even see the fat maggots burrowing in his rotting flesh, bringing out disgusting pus.
When this monster came out, the stench in the air became even worse, and was even mixed with magic power.
This resulted in Juanlu being unable to filter it even with magic power, unless he completely used up the magic power in his body to consume it.
Because once it is mixed with the surrounding magic power, the smell will not be removed at all, but will go straight into the nasal cavity.
The wild boar monster looked at Juanlu below and laughed with its huge mouth wide open.
Pus and fat maggots gushed out of its open mouth, and thick liquid with maggots dripped onto its round belly.
Then it spread out like gel, triggering the maggots hidden in his rotten belly to come out.
This scene almost made Juanlu vomit.
After laughing a few times, he closed his mouth and used his powerful bite force to bite through the maggots hanging on his rotten teeth.
The dark green juice splashed everywhere.
At this moment, Juanlu wished he could dig out his eyes and he was about to vomit.
Ahhhhh!
Everything about the monster he faced was aimed against him, challenging all his senses.
This includes the surrounding environment.
The ball on the batting stick, burning with flames, was hit hard by Juanlu.
This damn place must be burned with fire. He now has goose bumps all over his body and can't help trembling.
It comes entirely from physical and psychological discomfort.
The fiery red sphere drew a straight line and slammed hard into the enemy's body.
A green hole was directly opened on it, and the flame burned the rotten flesh and blood, making a sizzling sound.
It was like being ignited by oil, but it couldn't spread at all.
The maggots were burned dry by the flames, but the monster seemed completely unaffected. It didn't even scream, but ran towards Jason with a laugh.
The fireball bounced back again, penetrated from the back, returned to Juanlu's side, and was once again swung out by him.
But it didn't work.
The wounds on its body had no effect on it.
Even if it was pierced, the wound would still burn with flames.
When faced with Juanlu's attack on his head, he simply blocked it with his arms.
No matter how fearless the attack is, he seems to be unafraid of death or pain.
This body was like a tank, rushing straight towards Juanlu.
Fortunately, the monster was bulky and Juanlu dodged it easily.
"I want to see if you are immune to attacks."
Juanlu said this and began to swing the bat, letting the flying ball cut into the monster's flesh.
The flames of burning oil and gas flew out wildly.
The monster also kept rushing forward, and as the flesh on its body was reduced, its speed became faster and faster.
Until finally, his speed had completely surpassed Juanlu, and he was knocked away by a palm, smashing him into the swamp.
The foul-smelling juice was all over his body.
Several attacks consumed a lot of his magic power.
He was forced to cancel the magic air system on his face, allowing the foul smell to hit him in the face.
But the tension of the battle and the pain in his body made him forget about these things.
The monster became like a skeleton, its speed increased a lot, and Jason cut off a lot of its flesh and blood.
In this situation, Huanle had to give up the attack with the ball and instead use a stick to fight him in close combat.
The long-range ball hitting mode of the baton is just a built-in feature of this weapon.
Juanlu's real strength is actually his close combat, but it is difficult for him to display it on the boat.
He had hardly fought since he came aboard.
People like Alka who are experts in combat take care of almost all aspects of combat.
He can only indulge himself in it during normal training.
This also allowed him to fight back and forth with the monster.
Even under the instructor's training, he was completely overwhelming the monster in close combat.
Help him lose weight faster and cut off the remaining flesh and blood in his body.
But this monster seemed to have no weaknesses.
Even though the head had been smashed flat by Juanro, only a skull with some flesh hanging on it was left.
Looking at the monster whose body was covered with holes and gaps, with only a skeleton left, Juanlu smiled.
He spat fiercely at the side, the surrounding environment was still too disgusting.
"This time I'll see whether you live or not."
A raging flame ignited on the author's stick, and he jumped and hit the enemy's head hard.
The arm used to block was left with only bones and some flesh hanging on it. It fell apart under this heavy blow and then hit the head.
The skull made of broken bones was broken, and the last bit of flesh and blood on the top of the head disappeared.
This blow knocked the monster completely to the ground.
It seems that this monster is relying on the flesh and blood on its body to maintain its life.
With the disappearance of flesh and blood, many attributes are reduced, except for the increase in speed.
Watching the monster fall to the muddy ground in the swamp, watching the broken bones covered with foul-smelling juice.
Juanlu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he wasn't injured, but he was able to bear it and his life was not in danger.
To be honest, the difficulty of this monster seems a bit unworthy of this level.
The main reason is that the offensive means are too cumbersome.
When the offensive means become flexible, the other attributes are too weak.
Except that it was totally disgusting to his body and environment.
But fortunately, at least the battle was won.
However, before Juanlu could breathe a sigh of relief.
The corpse lying on the ground crawled up again. In the swamp, the foul-smelling juice covered his skeleton and turned into his flesh and blood again.
All of this flesh and blood were the pieces of meat that Juanlu had previously removed and discarded everywhere.
Even the burnt flesh that looked like stones gathered together.
It was completely useless to try to stop it, the foul-smelling water was pouring in from all directions.
"Damn it..." Juanlu looked at the half of magic power still left in his body.
He took out the remaining food from his pocket ring and started eating.
The energy previously stored in the body also began to be consumed.
The body, which had already lost a little weight, became even thinner.
It's almost like not eating before.
However, the food in his hands was tainted with a foul smell due to the surrounding environment, and signs of decay quickly appeared on it.
Juanlu looked at the situation, frowned, and cursed his instructor madly in his heart.
However, the crisis of the situation left him no choice but to bite it hard.
He gave up chewing and swallowed it without thinking.
"vomit……"
I suppressed my nausea and continued eating.
Soon the food was consumed and the body was finally restored to full health.
This time he had to be more cautious and had to find the real fatal weakness.
The battle continued once again.
Not long after, the enemy fell into the swamp again.
Even the bones were broken into pieces.
Juanlu fell to his knees in the swamp.
"Is it time to die?"
However, the flesh and blood that had been scattered everywhere before gathered on his body again under the push of the swamp water.
"Why is it coming again...what should I do?" Looking at the gathering of flesh and blood, Juan Lu struggled while suppressing his nausea.
He reached over and grabbed the largest piece of meat.
Disgusting pus stained my hands and the stench was overwhelming.
Looking at the flesh in his hand that looked like rotten meat, Juanlu observed it carefully.
It really looks like wild boar meat...
etc……
Damn it!
