Chapter 12 Landing on the Island
After preparations were completed, everyone reached the entrance through the long trestle and stone stairs.
There was no way ahead, but there was a staircase leading down on the right side and a corridor so long that the end point could not be seen clearly. There was no other choice. The entire sea area was filled with gray mist, and the stairs going down were so dark that one could not even see the end of them.
Facing the unknown will inevitably make people feel unsure. Closing their eyes, concentrating, and releasing their mind power, the group tried to use their spiritual sense to detect the unknown space ahead. But as soon as the released mental power was released from the body and came into contact with the diffuse gray mist, it was quickly eroded and consumed. This feeling of being devoured by spiritual power made him extremely surprised, and he quickly withdrew the released spiritual consciousness.
In such a situation, we have not been able to see further with our naked eyes.
It's really strange. Is there any other reason for this gray mist floating around? Xing Xing also suddenly understood why Su Wei was unwilling to use spiritual sense to detect the invisible man on the Thousand Suns. It turned out that she had known the troublesome aspects of these gray mist from the beginning.
"I didn't expect there to be such a long staircase as soon as I came in. Let's go down first."
"There is no other choice but to move forward."
There was only one passage, and everyone had no choice but to follow the stairs to the bottom of the corridor. They saw bones everywhere on the stone ground, and a dog with three heads was standing not far in front, shouting. A low roar. Su Wei stepped forward alone and looked at the three-headed dog in front of her carefully. When the group that was standing beside her saw it coming forward, they were afraid that something might happen to it and they also took two steps forward and stood beside her, talking to the three-headed dog. Confrontation.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the three-headed dog?"
Although he was a little surprised by the three-headed dog that suddenly appeared, this three-headed dog did not have the power that the legendary three-headed hell dog should have. He also understood that the other party was probably not a real three-headed hell dog. This was not hell. It cannot exist.
"Listen carefully to the cry. The one on the right should be a fox."
After being reminded, the group observed carefully and found that there were obvious signs of sewing between the three heads, and the cry of the head on the right was indeed that of a fox as Su Wei said. Although the fog was still very heavy, the fur colors of the fox and the dog were obviously different, and they were indeed artificially created spliced monsters.
"what are you doing"
"As a noble fox, it is really shameful to associate with a dog. I have to educate it well."
Knowing that the monster opposite is not a real three-headed hell dog, the group is not worried about her safety, and they have no comment on her desire to teach her fellow racers a lesson, but what will the dog think if her words and deeds are known to the roaring dog?
Su Wei stretched out her right hand, and her palm quickly grew in size and turned into an animal claw. With the faint light outside the corridor, the shadow of the claws almost completely covered the space above the three-headed dog's body. The three-headed dog was stunned by this sudden change and froze in place. Before he could turn around and run away, Su Wei's right paw that turned into a prototype was slapped to the ground hard.
The smoke dissipated and the dust gradually disappeared. The three-headed dog lay on the ground in a panic and looked at the weak-looking human in front of him in fear. The humanoid female monster standing in front of him was far more bizarre and terrifying than himself. It was best to be in front of her. Behave yourself.
The three-headed dog was brought down by Su Wei. The most excited person was Luffy. He had long planned to subdue a majestic monster as a mount. So, Luffy stepped forward alone and patted the three-headed dog on the head to discuss using it as a temporary mount. Unexpectedly, the three-headed dog saw someone approaching again, and it was just an ordinary straw hat boy, and he was immediately angered again. The wolf head in the middle opened its mouth and bit directly at Luffy, swallowing Luffy's entire upper body into his mouth. Luffy, whose upper body was bitten by a wolf kiss, touched the head of the dog biting him, punched with his left hand, and knocked the three-headed dog to the ground again.
"How pitiful." Robin muttered as he looked at the Cerberus who was knocked to the ground twice.
The three-headed dog who made mistakes twice no longer dared to underestimate the group of humans in front of him. He immediately prostrated on the ground like a pug and became a slave, agreeing to the request to become a mount for the time being.
Everyone moved forward again, and there was an extra hellhound mount. Luffy sat high on the dog's head in the middle, so excited that he forgot everything. Stepping on the bones piled on the ground, everyone walked through the long dark corridor, and the same stone steps as before appeared in front of them again. Following the upward stairs to the top again, an ancient dilapidated stone gate appeared in front of them. Everyone entered the gate without hesitation, and what appeared in front of them was a long forest path.
Although they didn't know what the next trip would be like, everyone was relieved to be above the sea level again. If the seawater broke through the stone wall of the corridor, they would be in great trouble.
The stone door that appeared in front of them was engraved with the word "thrierbark", which should be the name of the island. Inside the door was a lush forest. In the distance, a huge stone house was looming in the mist, like a devil's house. A dirt road bisects the woods and leads to a mysterious mansion in the distance.
"Nami, Nami"
Sanji, who entered the stone gate and walked on the dirt road, wanted to rescue Nami and show his chivalry. He shouted Miss Nami's name all the way. After interrogating the three-headed dog, everyone has obtained the information that Nami and the others are in front of this road, maybe waiting for their rescue somewhere on the road to the house.
"Look, there is a tree-shaped old man over there drinking with a unicorn. I must catch him and raise him."
Luffy loudly introduced his new discovery to everyone. Everyone looked to the left of the road in the direction Luffy pointed. Sure enough, there was a tree drinking with a unicorn. The monster whose traces were discovered by everyone also discovered everyone, and both sides fell into a situation of staring at each other. Not only were this group of foreign pirates not intimidated by their terrifying appearance, but they also had a strong interest in catching them and raising them. It is hard to believe that they are the three cowardly pirates who passed by here in a hurry before. accomplice.
"Really, they are too energetic. Even if they catch something like this, where can they put it?" Robin looked helplessly at Luffy and Franky who were obviously too energetic to catch monsters.
Robin looked back at the Cerberus that was used as a mount, and then at the unicorn being chased by Luffy. After thinking for a long time, he said, "So far, we have encountered a total of three zombies. Although they are not humanoid, they must not There is no doubt that there are still an unknown number of humanoid zombies on this island. In addition to the traces of artificial sewing on the bodies of these three zombies, they also have a number as a number, which shows that there are manufacturing machines on this island. And there are people commanding them, and the house in the distance should be their base camp. I hope Nami and the others will not be turned into zombies before we arrive."
"Speaking of which, when Mr. Yi Xing and Brook got on the boat, we treated him as a zombie for a while. If we could draw some stitching marks on his body and write a similar number on him, I'm afraid it would really be fake. .”
Luffy, who gradually lost interest in chasing unicorns, soon found a more fun place, but unfortunately, the group became his target for teasing.
"Hey, I told you not to think of weird ideas. I am a living person, not a zombie. Even if I die, I will go to the Western Paradise. How can I become a zombie?" A line of people looked at everyone's weird eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable. He retorted dissatisfiedly.
"How about we transform him together."
Since the two reached an agreement, Su Wei has become more and more familiar with himself, and the attitudes of the members on the ship have also undergone a huge change after he shot away the transparent monster. Within a short period of time, everyone became familiar with each other, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
"Okay, but no scribbling."
All the people around him were making noises. They really regarded him as a friend and were joking. Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, he actually made a group of friends he could talk to.
"Okay, okay, I'll paint."
As soon as Yi Xing let go, Su Wei pushed aside the crowd and took a pen to draw on Yi Xing's body. With just a few strokes, he drew a few sewing marks that were exactly the same as those of several zombies, and then wrote 5942 on his left arm. number.
"It's exactly the same now."
Putting away her eyebrow pencil, Su Wei looked at the work in front of her with satisfaction, with a somewhat complacent look in her eyes.
"It's a pity that the bandage is a bit new. It would be nice if I could roll it on the ground and get some dust on it."
Everyone was talking about it, and it seemed that it was getting more and more intense. The group couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily, "How about I lend you some of the bandages on my body, and we can all transform them."
"It looks exactly like a zombie, hahahaha."
Luffy's laughter was unbridled, echoing in the empty woods. Even Zoro, who stood side by side with him and had always had a serious expression, had a smile on his face, and the terrifying atmosphere around him became much more peaceful.
"Negative"
A clear girlish voice came from the depths of the forest, and a white and transparent humanoid ghost flew over at an extremely fast speed, floating in the air directly in front of everyone and blocking the way.
The number of ghosts increased rapidly, from one to five. Yi Xing and Su Wei, who had experienced contact with spirits, immediately saw the nature of the ghosts in front of them, but their increasing number still surprised them.
"Wow, it's a ghost. The number of them is increasing while dancing. It's so interesting. I'll catch it and raise it right now." Luffy shouted in surprise and rushed forward alone. However, he swung the net in his hand several times to no avail. Catch any ghost.
"It's a complete spirit body." Franky looked at the transparent ghost curiously and pondered for a while.
"Let me try my flash flame." Inhale, exhale, and a flame spurts out of Franky's mouth and burns towards the ghost.
In the blazing flames, the ghosts were angered by Franky's act of burning them. Not only were they intact, but they flew out of the fire and passed through Franky's body.
"Not at all. I'm such a loser this week. I can't do anything. I don't have the courage to live anymore. People all over the world are laughing at me, woo woo woo."
Franky, who has always been full of confidence, actually became like this when he was always beating his arms and making super declarations. Where was he? Even Ichigo, who had only known each other for a day, noticed that something was wrong with him. .
Luffy, who wanted to capture the ghost, was still waving the net in his hand, but a ghost that had already circled behind attacked him from behind and passed through him in the same way.
"If there was an afterlife, I would be a terrible shell. If there was a hole in the ground, I would crawl into it."
Luffy, who has always been over-energetic and super optimistic, turned out to be like this. Even if Franky made such a move, even Luffy, who wanted to become the Pirate King, actually wanted to become Seaweed. This was a bit wrong.
The five people who were not attacked by the ghost were all shocked. Only Sauron, who still did not realize the seriousness of the problem, looked at the passive two people with disdain and said, "The will is usually not strong, and the ghost will take advantage of it at the critical moment." The mind is really useless.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a ghost attacked and penetrated Sauron. Zoro, who was known for his strong will under everyone's gaze, also fell down.
“I’m really sorry for being born into this world.”
"Um"
The occurrence of such unbelievable things over and over could not be just a coincidence. The few people who were safe all looked at the ghost floating in the air. This ghost's ability was really quite tricky.
"Does it mean that once you encounter a ghost, you will become very negative?"
Robin looked at the three people lying on the ground in a passive state, then looked at the ghost in mid-air, and said worriedly, "There is no entity, physical attacks are ineffective, and fire cannot hurt them at all. If they are enemies, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Simple spirits should be afraid of strong light. When Franky used flames just now, although he failed to hurt the ghost at all, it immediately avoided it."
As expected of a woman who has lived for a thousand years, her observations are so meticulous. Looking at the gray mist surrounding her, Su Wei said helplessly, "It's a pity that the sun doesn't shine here all year round, and there's no strong light. If the ghost is controlled by humans, we can only defeat it by finding its true form or manipulating it."
The ghost that teased the three people looked down at everyone, made a face, and then floated away into the distance amid everyone's helplessness. After a while, Luffy and the three of them also recovered from their negativity, and they were all extremely angry about the loss of face just now.
"Next time we meet them, I will definitely not let them go."
"They must have a weakness."
The three of them cursed the ghost angrily, but everyone knew in their hearts that the enemy was very difficult.
"Well, next time we meet him, we can let Yi Xing try his rebirth spell. Maybe it will work."
Luffy and the other two were teased to such an embarrassing state that everyone was afraid of ghosts. At this time, they must find a way to boost everyone's morale.
"Reborn curse"
It sounded like something for dead people. Robin was very knowledgeable and became very interested in it.
"That's right, it's a spell in his practice system that can be used to save souls. Although it can't kill the spirit body, it has the effect of driving away evil spirits. It should be effective if used together with the spells he practices. .”
Su Wei and Robin talked about him again, and the group thought about it and said, "The rebirth spell is used to save the dead, and it should be effective for spirits. It's just that they are not simple spirits. You can try it next time you encounter them." try."
"That's great. It's all up to you next time we meet." Robin asked with a smile.
"No, you're welcome. You should." He glanced at the smiling Robin and his entourage and responded a little awkwardly.
Really, I don’t know when I will get used to the atmosphere of talking with beautiful women. It seems that I have to ask Sanji for advice. He really needs the shameless skills of the sexy cook.
"Then after you catch it, you must let me raise it."
Luffy, who had just decided to give up raising ghosts, became interested in ghost breeding again. Everyone continued to move forward noisily, passing through the long dirt road in the forest and reaching an open space. Tombs are lined up one after another on both sides of the road, and at the end is the huge mansion.
"Okay, I'm hungry. Let's eat our lunch and let everyone rest for a while."
Luffy, who was very nervous, told everyone to take a rest, then sat on the ground, opened the lunch box, and ate silently, regardless of everyone's objections.
"Is this a place to eat? In such a scary place, no matter how delicious the food is, it will become unpalatable. The top priority is that we must find Miss Nami and the others as soon as possible."
"How is it possible? Delicious food won't taste bad anywhere. It's right here anyway."
Probably because he was a little worried about the safety of Nami and the others, and the environment on the island was so dangerous, Luffy ate his lunch in silence. But people who are familiar with him can tell at a glance what he is thinking about, and he simply doesn’t know what to eat. Everyone stayed here for a short while to make repairs. A human arm covered in soil stretched out from the ground under the tombstone directly in front, and then the entire upper body slowly crawled out.
The unearthed zombies attracted everyone's attention. Noticing this, Luffy put down his lunch and walked forward alone, reaching out to push the unearthed zombie back. This was the first human zombie that everyone had seen since arriving on the island. Awesome novel "xinwu799" WeChat ID, see more
