Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 100 I thought you were a serious person, but I didn't expect you were also
After six hours of sailing, it was already night.

They sailed out of the stormy sea, and the crimson moonlight shone through the clouds.

Not far ahead of them was a giant island shrouded in layers of fog.

There is the destination of their trip!
That pristine island with the Blue Shadow Falcon and many other extraordinary creatures!
Alger's expression brightened up, and his tired look disappeared.

Alger stared intently at the primitive island that was faintly visible under the crimson moonlight, feeling extremely excited.

"There must be a Blue Shadow Falcon on this island. I have seen one myself. And although I have never seen a Dragon Eye Sea Eagle, the possibility of its existence is very high!"

"If we're lucky, we might be able to find traces of them on the outskirts. In that case, we might not have to go any deeper."

"boom!"

Soon, the Blue Avenger, which was gradually approaching the island, docked in the shallow sea near the island.

The sails were furled and the anchor was dropped to the bottom of the sea to secure the ship.

"Ash."

Alger said, "It's best for your silver knights to stay on board to guard the ship."

"Ok?"

Ember gave him a puzzled look.

“It’s a ghost ship.”

Argel explained helplessly, "Although I am its captain and have taken control of it, this ancient ship left over from the Tudor Dynasty still has some secrets that I cannot understand."

"For example, when it is unattended, it will often deliberately create problems, or leave the channel on its own and sail into dangerous waters. If it is in a safe channel, it would be fine, but now..."

Alger gave a bitter smile.

It is a full six hours' voyage from here to the safe waterway, and this entire journey has to be carried out in the midst of lurking sea monsters and storms. Even with a ship, there is no guarantee of passage.

And what if this ghost ship suddenly sails away from the island.

If they lost their ship, they would most likely be trapped and die on this island.

After all, apart from the two of them, no one else knew the coordinates of the island.

"no problem."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. He didn't expect to rely on the Silver Knights for output, so it was just right to let them guard the ship.

Even if there was no boat, he wasn't really worried.

Because he has the return bone fragment, he can return to the campfire at any time.

But the returning bone fragments are different from other consumables. They are the remains of the burned bones of the undead.

During the process of passing on the fire, he always had to use the return bone fragment to return to the campfire due to reasons such as falling off a cliff and being unable to return.

If it were in Lordran, you could find a few more undead to burn and there would always be some leftovers.

But in this world without the immortals, one piece is undoubtedly less if you use it.

Therefore, Embers will not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

"rustle!"

The two of them boarded the island in a small boat, and their feet made subtle sounds as they stepped on the soft sand.

And in front of them was a dense green jungle.

Logically speaking, such a jungle should be home to many creatures, but in fact the environment here is very quiet. Not to mention the sounds of birds, wolves, or even insects, there is a feeling of death!

The island was shrouded in a hazy fog, and even the color of blood could only penetrate a little.

However, this not only failed to dispel the darkness of the forest and the central mountain of the island, but instead gave them a somewhat eerie and bloody meaning.

"now it is night."

Alger lifted the heavy box in his hand and explained, "It will be quite lively here during the day. The extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the northern and southern continents will be very active, and their numbers will be beyond your imagination."

"But at night, the power that dominates this place seems to change. Almost all extraordinary species will hide and only appear one after another at dawn."

"However, what we are going to hunt this time is the Blue Shadow Falcon. Although this extraordinary creature is only at the level of Sequence 6, it is extremely fast. Even extraordinary people of the same level can only vaguely see the shadow it leaves behind, let alone hunt it."

"So, I need to make some preparations at night in advance for hunting the Blue Shadow Falcon during the day."

Yu Jin nodded in understanding, without saying anything more, just made a gesture to invite him to go ahead.

He didn't know what Alger was going to arrange, so he couldn't help.

Just walking aside, holding a lantern to help light the nearby roads.

Alger did not dare to go too deep into the jungle, and just walked along the beach around the outer edge of the island.

Then he put down the box in his hand one kilometer away from the Blue Avenger.

"Snapped!"

Alger lifted the wooden board on the top of the box, revealing the contents inside.

Taking a quick look in the dim firelight, it seemed to be a living person!

"This is a fishman."

As if afraid that Yu Jin might misunderstand him, Alger explained without even turning his head.

Yu Jin raised the lantern a little higher, allowing the light to illuminate the inside of the box and also allow him to see the full appearance of the 'person'.

Rather than being a human, it is more like a fish monster in human form.

It was like a giant fish with strong limbs, and obvious webbed feet in the gaps between its hands and feet.

It has round eyes and gills on its cheeks, and looks like a monster from the legend.

Even though the monster was curled up, it could be seen that its height would probably be more than two meters if it stood up!

But at this moment, this monster that looked extremely ferocious appeared extremely tired, and its body was covered with wounds, as if it had suffered some inhuman torture before its death.

While Alger dragged the fishman out of the box with ease, he patiently explained, "For extraordinary creatures, their favorite food is other species of extraordinary creatures."

"For the vast majority of bird-like supernatural creatures at sea, their favorite food is murlocs."

As he spoke, Alger smiled again, "Of course, for humans, murlocs are also excellent as food. Their meat is very delicious."

"But unfortunately, since the murloc's swim bladder is the main material for Sequence 9 'Sailor', the murlocs near the coast have almost been hunted to death, with only a small number left to be raised by the Church of Storms. So under normal circumstances, even pirates who specialize in sea operations find it difficult to encounter them."

"Tsk."

After listening to Alger's description, Yu Jin couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Would you like to taste it?"

Alger raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, "Although it is still useful, I think cutting off some of it won't have much impact. Dinner tonight can also be more sumptuous."

"Do not."

Yu Jin shook his head and said with a slightly regretful tone, "It's just that these fishmen are not what I imagined."

"..."

Alger's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

I thought you were a serious person, but I didn't expect you to be an LSP?

Alger's expression quickly returned to calm, and he said leisurely, "You must be imagining a mermaid, right? The upper body is human and the lower body is fish, and the appearance is pure and charming."

"I have to remind you that mermaids and mermen are two different species. And I can tell you responsibly that mermaids are exactly the same as you imagined."

"Many nobles even spend a lot of money to buy a living mermaid. As for their purpose of wanting these mermaids..."

Alger gave Ember a look that said "you know what I mean" and said with some regret, "But unfortunately, mermaids are even rarer than mermen. To most people, mermaids only exist in legends."

"I've never seen a mermaid in person, nor have I ever heard of anyone capturing a mermaid alive."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Ember thought thoughtfully, "Didn't you say that this pristine island is rarely visited by humans? Perhaps there are mermaids living here."

"That's even more impossible."

Alger shrugged. "Like I said before, the favorite food of most bird-like supernatural creatures at sea is merman. But in fact, mermaids are far more popular than merman, but the number of mermaids is too small, so those supernatural creatures can only choose merman as a second choice."

"Even if there really are mermaids living here, they have probably been eaten clean by the extraordinary creatures on the island. The most you can find are the fish scales left over by them."

"Tsk, what a waste of natural resources."

Alger shook his head and sighed deeply toward the sky.

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Yu Jin nodded seriously.

Mermaids are extremely popular among both humans and supernatural beings, but in very different directions.

Although they will be treated as playthings by humans.

But in the eyes of extraordinary creatures, it is simply food.

For both parties, the way the other party dealt with the mermaid can be described in four words:

A violent thing!
Humans: Such a good thing is actually used for eating?

Extraordinary Creatures: Such a good thing, why don’t we eat it?
The trap set by Alger was not particularly sophisticated, and it could not even be called a trap at all.

He just threw the murloc onto the beach casually, and then created the illusion that the murloc was accidentally stranded.

As for the traps he set, they were better than nothing.

After all, what they are hunting are extraordinary creatures, and extraordinary creatures comparable to Sequence 6!
It is impossible to expect these ordinary traps to be of much use; in the end they still have to take action themselves.

The key to this trap is the bait, the murloc.

As long as this bait is there, there is no need to worry about those extraordinary creatures not taking the bait.

of course.

Whether the creature that takes the bait is the extraordinary creature they want depends on luck.

"We have to hide first."

Alger set up the trap, stood up, looked around, and said, "I'm going to lurk in the forest over there to make sure the murloc doesn't get taken away by anything at night."

After a pause, Alger continued, "You can go back to the ship and rest for a while. Just be back before five in the morning."

"Need not."

Yu Jin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There are only a few hours left until dawn. I'll wait with you."

"Row."

Alger nodded. It would be best if Yu Jin was willing to stay and help.

He first observed the surrounding environment, then walked straight to the forest near the beach, found a patch of grass where he could hide his body, and squatted down.

"Most of the extraordinary creatures among birds have excellent visual abilities."

Alger warned, "So we must make sure we hide well enough and not be discovered by them. In addition, their hearing is quite good, so it is best not to make any sound while hiding."

"If that's what you mean."

Yu Jin's face showed understanding and he reached out and took out two rings.

Alger was about to speak but stopped, and said weakly, "Can't you tell me that these two rings happen to have this function?"

"almost."

Yu Jin pointed at the two rings on his palm and gave a brief introduction. "The Phantom Limb Ring can hide the wearer's figure from a distance. The distance is about five meters. As long as you are five meters away from the target, you can ensure complete 'invisibility'."

"The Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring can eliminate the sound made by the wearer."

"..."

The corners of Alger's mouth twitched.

One for vision and one for hearing.

The two rings work together to achieve perfect stealth.

If the effect is really as strong as Ember described, then as long as you wear these two rings and are five meters away from the target, the other party will not be able to detect you even if you are face to face.

Where on earth did he get all these strange and bizarre rings with all kinds of magical effects?
"Don't you need it?"

Alger asked subconsciously when he saw Yu Jin extending his hand to hand over two rings.

But when he noticed the ten rings on the ten fingers of Yu Jin's hands, he fell completely silent.

The ten rings were of different styles, and two of them were exactly the same as the one Yu Jin handed over.

As for the other eight rings, Alger didn't recognize any of them.

He didn't ask any more questions, but just silently took the ring and put it on his finger.

The effect of the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring was immediate. After wearing it, all the noises he made were eliminated.

As for the phantom ring... "One, two, three, four, five..."

Alger took a few tentative steps back, silently counting the distance in his heart.

When he counted to five, the embers that were originally so close to him completely disappeared from his sight.

There was only a pile of grass where the ember had been, and he couldn't see anything else.

And when he took another small step forward, the embers reappeared in his reality.

And the cause of all these changes was just a distance of five meters!
“What are the side effects?”

Alger walked back to Ember and couldn't help but ask.

"Same as the sacrificial ring."

After getting the answer, Alger fell silent, because he remembered that when Yu Jin introduced the 'Sacrifice Ring', there was only one side effect, which was that it had to be worn all the time in order to take effect.

Compared to other magical items, this so-called 'side effect' is completely negligible.

and……

Alger subconsciously looked at Yu Jin's hands.

The ten rings are of different styles, which is a dazzling array.

but.

The only thing missing was the sacrifice ring.

This made Alger doubt his life.

After all, in his eyes, no matter how useful these rings are, they are not as good as the sacrifice rings.

After all, the latter is a real second life!
But Ember didn't carry the sacrificial ring, and judging from his previous attitude.

His words also seemed to reveal his disdain for the sacrifice ring.

"Is it self-confidence? Or some other reason?"

Alger was a little confused, but he didn't delve into it. After all, it was someone else's secret.

……

As time passed, the crimson moonlight gradually and completely disappeared in the sky.

The warm sun broke through the clouds and generously cast its light on the earth.

But even the sun's rays were blocked by the accumulated fog and could only penetrate a little.

But it was this little bit of sunlight that fell on the island, like some kind of signal, that instantly brought life back to this island, which was originally full of deathly silence.

"rustle!"

"Squeak!"

"Ouch!"

"Wow!"

The sounds of insects chirping, leaves rustling in the wind, birds singing, and wolves howling seemed as if life was gradually reviving.

A large number of extraordinary creatures began to appear one by one.

Most of them hide in the jungle, carefully concealing themselves while hunting other extraordinary creatures.

Yu Jin and the other man stood at the edge of the forest, staring closely at the murloc on the beach not far away.

Until they heard the sharp cry of a bird.

A blue shadow flashed across the sky.

However, it should have disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye like a sharp arrow, but it did not leave. Instead, it began to circle in the air.

"coming!"

Alger's expression lit up with joy, "That's the Blue Shadow Falcon!"

Alger's eyes were filled with surprise. It looked like they were quite lucky.

It was just daybreak, and they didn't have to wait long before the Blue Shadow Falcon arrived.

The other party obviously noticed the murloc on the beach, and its current hovering was just a test and observation.

As long as it is sure there is no danger around, it will automatically descend.

Alger stared at the blue shadow nervously.

The Blue Shadow Falcon is incredibly fast, and it is also an extraordinary bird creature that can fly.

If it didn't fall to the ground, Alger had no confidence that he could catch it.

"Wow!"

at last.

The Blue Shadow Falcon, which had been circling in the sky for a long time, seemed to have finally determined that there was no danger nearby. It flapped its wings and slowed down as it flew towards the fishman on the beach.

Alger's expression became more and more excited. He was already prepared and would rush out as soon as the Blue Shadow Falcon landed!
If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to obtain the first main material needed for this trip in a few minutes.

however.

Not surprisingly, that was impossible.

"Wow!"

The Blue Shadow Falcon had already slowed down and was descending toward the ground. Originally, its speed was so fast that only its shadow could be seen, but now Alger could see its entire appearance.

But when the other party was less than three meters away from the fishman, another cry was heard in the sky.

A huge bald eagle appeared in the sky at some point!

"Longyan Sea Eagle!"

Alger instantly recognized the white sea eagle; it was the other main ingredient he needed.

In just a few minutes, the two extraordinary creatures he hoped to hunt appeared one after another.

This is a good thing.

But it may not be a good thing.

"Wow!"

Sure enough, the moment the Longyan Sea Eagle appeared, the Blue Shadow Falcon that was about to land was immediately frightened.

His eyes instantly turned into one of fear, and he flapped his wings frantically and quickly flew into the air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it soared into the sky, leaving only its shadow.

Alger was left standing there in a daze, his heart bleeding, feeling extremely sad.

It was his first time encountering a blue-shadow falcon and a dragon-eye sea eagle; these were both very happy things for him.

Two happy things come together.

And these two joys can bring him more joy.

What I got was supposed to be a happy time like a dream...

But why does it become like this?

"It's over, it's over."

Alger's face showed bitterness. The extraordinary creature hovering in the air was simply not something he could deal with.

This almost sentenced the purpose of his trip to death.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ears.

"Flying is prohibited here!"

"Wow!"

With two more shrill cries, the blue shadow falcon, which was so fast that only its shadow was left, and the huge white-headed raptor both lost their ability to fly and fell heavily to the ground from the sky with screams.

In an instant, accompanied by the "crash" of the two birds of prey, the ground was splattered with mud and blood.

Alger didn't know how Ember did it.

But he knew what he should do!
Alger rushed towards the two crashing birds of prey like a swift arrow.

Instead of looking for the closer Longyan Sea Eagle, he rushed towards the Blue Shadow Falcon which was farther away.

Because they are faster than the latter, once they recover, they can escape at a speed that makes them unable to react.

A dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed it hard into the Blue Shadow Falcon's neck!

These avian supernatural creatures are the absolute masters of the sky.

But on land, they are worse than plucked pheasants!
"Wow!"

Amid the Blue Shadow Falcon's shrill screams, the dagger pierced its neck and cut its trachea.

Blood gushed out in an instant.

In just over ten seconds, the Blue Shadow Falcon was dead.

And the other side.

He took out the Darkmoon Longbow at some point, and an arrow accurately pierced the neck of the Longyan Sea Eagle.

Kill with one blow.

"call."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief and stopped looking at the Blue Shadow Falcon, which was gradually losing its vitality. Instead, he rushed towards the Dragon Eye Sea Eagle.

As the creature stared at him with its eyes wide open, he carefully dug out its eyes.

And in this process.

Spots of light floated on the body of the dead Blue Shadow Falcon, and six crystal feathers condensed on its wings.

But even so, Alger, who should have been very excited, found himself a little dazed.

It has been less than ten minutes since dawn.

The two extraordinary materials he needed were already in hand.

Why does it feel like a dream?
Alger looked at Yujin, who was leisurely pulling an arrow out of a dragon-eye sea eagle.

His eyes fell on a pocket watch in the other person's hand.

His intuition told him that the magical item was the key.

Ember noticed Alger's gaze and explained casually, "The Concerto of Light and Shadow can use certain extraordinary abilities of the Arbitrator Sequence. It is a trophy I obtained from a Beyonder in the royal family."

【Concerto of Light and Shadow】

[A pocket watch that can use the abilities of the lawyer and arbitrator paths.

Prohibition and deprivation

Prohibit certain behaviors within a certain range.
It can also 'deprive' the target of certain abilities.

But the restrictions caused are no more than two;
Gift and Twist

Directly "give" a certain negative state to the target,
distort the target's words, actions, intentions, and the effectiveness of the attack,
Turn a fatal injury into a serious one, and turn a blow into a push away.

This pocket watch is a mixture of the extraordinary characteristics of the lawyer and arbitrator.

If you are not lucky enough,

It will also have some hidden side effects. 】

"The spoils of war?"

Alger seemed to understand something.

I just thought that the embers were obtained from the Beyonder in Villa Capin.

Although I am a little envious, after all, it is something that he got through his own ability.

"Ash, I think..."

Alger organized his words and was about to say something.

But the next second, a low roar suddenly came from my ear.

"Roar!"

Alger's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked towards the jungle behind him.
