Chapter 335 Efficient Killing
Once you enter this green area, the surrounding environment becomes even colder and damper.
The growth of these trees is extremely strange, with extremely thin trunks that look like several thick vines entwined and spiraling upwards.
Very clear depressions can be seen on the trunk, with the texture extending upward in several strands.
But the tree crowns are large and dense, and the branches between trees are intertwined and connected to each other.
As a result, the entire area above is almost completely covered.
It was night time now, and once they entered here, the stars in the sky were completely invisible.
See this situation.
Alka said directly: "Let them come back. We will rest outside today and cross the place tomorrow."
After all, it only takes two or three hours to cross the area, and there is no need to go through it at night when it is more dangerous.
Night is the favorite time for all dangerous creatures.
Lucelia nodded after hearing what Alka said.
Through their internal network, they called over the puppet girl who had gone out to explore the surrounding environment.
Since we had decided to rest here, we tied the Feiyan to a tree.
Simon connected the connecting thruster at the rear of the Flying Swallow between several trees and then expanded it.
A simple habitat is completed.
Although it was a little crowded, with the boats nearby and the better ocean trio who could rest comfortably in the water, everything seemed just right.
After making simple arrangements and assigning guards, everyone leaned back and fell asleep.
In this woods, it is no longer as quiet as the nights in other places. There are subtle chirping of insects and the sounds of some fish swimming in the water.
Until late into the night.
Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
Lucilia, who had just woken up and was on guard, looked at the book in her hand with the help of the only light, the weak lighting stone.
Next to her, there were several puppet girls standing guard everywhere.
"There's movement."
Lucelia suddenly remembered these words in her mind.
Hearing this sound, Lucilia continued to read the book in her hand as if nothing had happened. After more than ten seconds, she slowly closed the book and then extinguished the lighting stone.
The moment the light was extinguished, the figure immediately slipped into the shadows and disappeared.
Only the slightest breeze could be heard.
Lucilia had come to the side of the puppet girl who had brought her the message.
And the movement he was talking about was right below.
Several black figures were hiding in the moonlight. The lights going out just now made them a little alert. Now they were hiding quietly in the water with only their heads exposed from the water.
Not human.
Lucilia had used her dark vision to see clearly what the creatures in the shadows were.
Although the color of the skin was unclear, these creatures looked more like fishmen. However, they were too small, with legs that were only about one meter long, and hunched over.
It's not because they need to be vigilant, but because they just seem to look like that.
Reef murloc.
Soon, Lucilia found the origins of these fishmen in the knowledge in her mind.
Smooth and sticky skin, the smallest body among the mermen, with a hunched back, and thin hands and feet.
The huge mouth and two rows of sharp teeth are the most conspicuous features.
Two huge eyeballs on the top of the head.
That is their only feature, which allows them to have a wider field of vision. Among the fishmen, whose racial differences are very special and obvious, their field of vision is also the best among the tribes.
But this is the only thing I can show off.
Although she is not wearing glasses that can detect things now, she can still rely on her feelings and experience, combined with her own knowledge.
It can be seen that the strength of these fishmen is not very strong.
There is definitely not even stage three.
There are 3 in total.
What he held in his hand was a spear that looked like it was made from a sharpened branch, and the weapon looked very inferior.
It can't even be considered a weapon.
But since it was a fishman, Lucilia thought about it and did not launch an attack rashly.
Instead, he told the puppet girls to be alert and disappeared on the branches.
In a few seconds, he returned to the resting place and gently woke everyone up.
I especially patted Porro.
"It's a group of reef fishmen."
"Those annoying guys?" Porro looked a little annoyed when he heard the name of the reef fishman.
Apparently, he didn't seem to like this branch of murlocs, which were of the same race but had a much different body size from him.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look."
After Pororo finished speaking, he slid into the sea from the side.
Its huge size did not cause any movement or ripples.
Swimming quickly under the water like a silent hunter.
Soon they saw the group of reef fishmen sneaking around again.
Seeing that there were only three of them, Porro no longer hid and suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water in front of them.
"What do you little ones want?"
"ah!"
The sudden appearance of Polo scared the reef fishmen, and one of them shouted in fright.
The two companions beside him immediately reached out and covered his mouth with their hands.
Then he looked up at the tall Porro.
After seeing that he was also a fishman, he nodded with a slight smile, then pointed in the direction of Alka's men.
"There, human, delicious food, steal."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands, bent his waist even lower, and arched his back.
It means that Pororo goes first.
"Alas, even in the vast ocean, they still haven't changed their stupid appearance." Porro said to himself helplessly.
"They are my companions, stay away."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The Sanming fishmen immediately stood still, and obvious expressions of surprise could be seen on their faces, which were extremely different from those of humans.
He nodded quickly, immediately completely submerged in the water, and quickly left the place.
After sending away these little fishmen who wanted to steal things, Porro walked back helplessly.
Lucilia fell from the branch and stood on Pororo's shoulder.
"Are they...really your compatriots?"
After all, the performance of the three fishmen left Lucilia stunned.
Even though it was so obvious, they still wanted Porro to join them in stealing.
Although they communicated in the language unique to the fishmen, Lucelia could understand it completely.
Pororo nodded helplessly: "Although I am very reluctant, it should be considered as such.
A bunch of guys who can't even speak Murloc properly."
As he spoke, he sighed as well.
After a few steps they returned to where Alka's men were.
"How's it going? Is it solved?"
"Sent away, a group of thieves wanted to steal some food."
"Since he is your compatriot, why don't you invite him over to get to know him?" Jason asked curiously.
Hearing this, Pororo turned around and looked at him with strange eyes.
"Would you invite a human who wanted to steal from you?"
"Uh... okay."
Since everyone was awake, they were in no mood to continue sleeping. Looking at the time, they all seemed to have slept for a long time.
Take a rest and then continue your action when daybreak comes.
"So what did those fishmen look like just now?" Jason asked.
Lucelia replied, "A few reef murlocs."
"Reef fishman?" Jason was a little surprised.
I have never heard of any fish called reef fish.
The naming of the branches of the murloc race is simple and direct.
For example, the one that looks like a shark is a shark merman, of course there are many types of sharks.
Of course, not every type has a corresponding murloc.
Octopus man, tiger fish man, swordfish man.
Just by hearing the names, you can roughly know what these fishmen look like.
“Reef fishmen are called this because they usually live on the reefs near the shore.
There are not many fish that look like them . They are small and thin, and they are the lowest class among the fishmen. And it seems that their intelligence is generally not very good. "
Lucelia shared the general information she knew, which was integrated information she had seen in books.
After seeing the real thing today, she found that it was not much different from what she saw in the book.
Pororo nodded: "Yes, they are basically the largest group among the merfolk, and they all look similar except for their color.
The brain is really not very good, probably somewhere between beasts and intelligent life."
“There are no reefs here.”
“It’s not like we have to live in a place with reefs. Although it’s cold and damp here, it’s just right for merfolk.
With so many trees, there should be a lot of small fish underwater, which is enough to support a small population."
Everyone chatted like this until the curtain of the sky was torn open.
Pack up and move on.
When we got here, Simon removed the rear thrusters. The area was too large, and it was difficult to move in this kind of forest.
After all, even a slender ship like the Feiyan has to find a spacious place to move in such a place.
The sails had already been furled and the masts folded up.
Because we were driving the Feiyan, even though the branches of these trees were thin, they still blocked the road to some extent.
After going around in circles for a while, I finally got around to getting out.
Even during the day, it was very dark here.
Only beams of light were shining through the gaps between the leaves.
Pororo swam beside the Feiyan, looked at the eyes not far away, looking at them warily, and shook his head helplessly.
"Don't they think they're hiding well?" Jason couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be confused, that's it."
Porro held his forehead, feeling very helpless.
"Oh, go, go."
Not far away, two fishmen were hiding under a tree stump and showed their heads, as if they thought they were well hidden. They watched Alka and the others leave with caution.
As for disguise.
Although these fishermen had slight green spots on their bodies, the big tree they were leaning against was brown, and they were holding green leaves to cover their heads.
I never expected that the leaf was so large, and it was even more conspicuous when moving around.
The Feiyan finally left the green zone.
"Go this way, the instructions are leading this way." Alka felt the direction he was directed.
Xia Daiti sat on the boat, constantly emitting silver ripples, detecting the surrounding situation.
When you arrive at such an unfamiliar place, it is always a good idea to explore it, whether you draw a map or not.
The voyage was not far.
A strong stench of decay wafted over.
It floated in the air on the breeze towards their nostrils.
A corpse slowly floated towards them from a distance.
Judging from the state of the body, it had been dead for a long time. The stench made everyone frown and hold their breath.
Julia and Mathilda jumped onto the boat from the water as quickly as possible.
"Go around a bit." Alka couldn't help but say.
Xia Daiti controlled the Feiyan and made a circle, avoiding the direction of the corpse.
Disgusting though.
But Alka still kept his eyes open, looking at the corpse not far away, observing it carefully.
"Knife wounds, and hemp ropes tied around his body. He must have been dead for two days. He must have been eaten clean."
It is not easy for a corpse to remain in such a place until it stinks.
But the corpse was about to be destroyed. Alka had already seen a large number of fish underneath the corpse, biting the rotten and smelly flesh.
The skeleton is exposed in most places.
It wouldn't be long before only a skeleton was left of the foul-smelling corpse.
"Be careful."
After saying that, everyone continued to move forward.
There were not many hours to go forward.
Simon saw a village in the water from afar, this time it was a real village.
It just looks very small.
It is more like a simple manor on the water.
Various branches and wooden poles form the walls of the village, and the entire village is built on sea level with this soft wood similar to bamboo.
On platforms built with wooden poles and bamboo, houses made of thatched grass are built.
Simon watched from a distance.
They were in a position where they could see something like the village gate from the side.
There were several corpses hanging on the gate, swaying slightly in the breeze.
Not far away, there were several wooden poles stuck in the water, with various skulls hanging on them.
From inside to outside, this place shows people his difficult side.
"This place stinks a bit." Porro covered his nose and said as he climbed out of the water.
As the one with the most sensitive sense of smell among everyone, he couldn't stand it anymore.
The stench from the corpse just now disappeared, but this place continues to emit a strange smell.
The waters in this place also looked a bit dirty. As they swam across the sea, many small schools of fish swam around them.
And unlike fish in other places, large schools of fish were following right below their boats.
"Are you used to eating this?" Jason couldn't help but ask as he looked at the scene.
The crystal dragon that was sleeping on the rear thruster turned over and then opened its eyes.
As Urulius awakens.
The surrounding schools of fish immediately dispersed, clearing the surroundings in an instant.
"Want to go over there?"
"No, let's go around to avoid trouble."
Alka said.
This damn place is obviously not very friendly. They just go around it. It’s better to have less trouble than more. They still have things to do.
I hope this seemingly unfriendly place will not come and bother them.
"I think we want to avoid it, but they don't." Simon said floating in the sky.
The wooden fence gate of the village had been opened, and one slender paddle boat after another quickly rowed out and rushed towards their location.
The boat was filled with people, but their ferocious expressions, their faces full of flesh, and the various scars and tattoos on their bodies revealed their attitudes.
Simon looked through his glasses.
"Not very good, just a third stage one. A bit too weak."
"Let the puppet army move." Alka said directly.
It just so happens that the enemies are numerous and the puppet army is just right.
Lucilia nodded and disappeared into the shadows.
The doll girl, who was playing around on the ship and the thruster, heard what Alka said and immediately started moving.
They now seemed to be accustomed to the teams they had formed before in Fragrance, and they still started to act as the previous teams.
"Boss, something is coming."
A man who was holding a simple telescope at the bow turned around and spoke to the burly man behind him.
"What the hell could that thing be? Is it to kill yourself?"
However, before he could get a reply, the man holding the telescope in front of him suddenly stopped where he was.
Blood gushed out of his mouth.
His eyes turned blood red and then lost their luster.
“Um…yes.”
He fell to the ground before he could finish his words. A bloody hole appeared on the back of his head, and a thick white liquid with blood streaks flowed out from it.
Seeing this situation, a thin energy shield was immediately put on the strong man's body.
As the shield appeared, he also picked up a weapon in his hand, a sailor's short sword as long as an arm.
He looked around very vigilantly.
He didn't see the enemy just now.
"ah!"
Screams were heard from the surrounding boats.
A girl, about 40 cm tall and wearing soft armor, ran into a villain from behind.
Knocked it down, bent down and swung the bloody blade in his hand directly down.
The head slid off and a large amount of blood spurted out.
The doll girl bathed in blood didn't care.
"Hehe, die!"
As he said this, he stepped on the corpse and quickly rushed to the next one.
"Ah! Don't come over here!"
"Monsters, these are monsters."
Some people slipped into the water in panic and tried to escape.
As the sound of "splashing" was heard, some of the puppet girls rushed directly into the water.
"Mercy, spare my life!"
Faced with various pleas for mercy, the puppet girls laughed and did not give any answers.
Still wielding the blade in his hand, without mercy.
The strongest among them, the one who had reached the third stage of perfection, the sturdy man known as the boss, was maintaining the shield tightly.
Sweating profusely, he looked around vigilantly.
He knew that he had met a tough opponent this time.
Why must such a powerful person have to ride in such a small boat? Wouldn’t it be better to ride in a sea carriage?
Suddenly his eyes widened.
A scarlet spike had pierced through his neck.
Bloodshot eyes and a stiff head that wanted to turn back.
The blood blade slipped.
The bloody trail slid down with blood.
There was no luster in his bloodshot eyes.
He never saw clearly who killed him until he died.
Yi put away the dagger and disappeared into the shadows again.
The puppet girl's killing was extremely efficient.
