Chapter 799 The Incarnation of the Ring

That puppy was a perfectly ordinary puppy.

It's likely that they secretly jumped ashore when the snake boat passed through a port.

It must have recognized Adamir and found him by following his scent.

...

Sure enough, after Adamir woke up from his feigned death, he immediately picked up the little black dog and smiled happily.

"It really is you, hahaha! I thought you'd been killed. Turns out you're still alive, that's great!"

"Wow, did they not give you any food? Did they hit you?"

"Great! Yahu, let's get out of here together..."

The little black dog jumped and hopped around in Adamir's arms like it had ADHD, its little tail wagging wildly like it was wound up.

Putting aside other external factors, this is a rare and heartwarming scene.

...

However, the snake ships have not yet completely left the area of ​​the Zar Islands settlement.

On the deck, Milo glanced back, patted Freya to signal her to climb off him, and then asked Yan:

"Shouldn't you be responsible for keeping an eye on him and preventing any other living creatures from getting close?"

Yan blinked: "Uh... have we discussed who should be in charge of this?"

Milo recalled for a moment, then shrugged: "It seems there really isn't."

...

Bang! ! ! !

A deep, resonant hum, like the sound of a bell, came from the central area of ​​the archipelago not far behind.

The sound spread, and many birds in the island's jungle were startled and took flight in flocks.

At this moment, if you happen to be a psychic with a decent level of insight, you will be able to see the dazzling spectacle coming from the center of the archipelago, with some kind of scattered light bursting out from Zal Island.

But that wasn't a means of attack; it was merely a tangible form of will, which could be called hostility.

……

Clearly, the snake ship had not escaped the sensing range of the so-called high priest's magical ring.

Adamir, who had woken up prematurely, was ultimately exposed.

Upon hearing the bell, Adamir finally realized that something was wrong.

He cursed under his breath: "Damn it!"

He then quickly rolled up his sleeves, unwrapped the bandages wrapped around his forearm, and pulled out a small dagger from behind his waist. With a sizzle, he cut a gash in his wrist, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound.

Besides this "fresh" wound, there are at least seven or eight knife marks from different periods on this arm alone.

After Adamir cut open the wound, he seemed worried that the bleeding wouldn't be enough, so he kept squeezing his arm while frequently looking up towards the core of the Zar settlement.

"It's alright. As long as I bleed enough, that old man's ring won't be able to pinpoint my location."

That's how I escaped from the island!

...

……

The others on deck did not stop Adamir from self-harming, nor did they show any signs of anxiety.

Anyway, the only person on the ship who was in a real panic was Adamir himself.

Yan even added fuel to the fire by asking him:

"What's your dog's name?"

…“Huh?” Adamir asked, puzzled.

So Yan repeated, "What are you barking about, dog?"

"Why are you swearing at me?" Adamir probably felt a little wronged.

Yan shook his head, looking puzzled, and squatted down to pat the little black dog at his feet: "I said, what's its name?"

"Oh." Adamir immediately stopped feeling wronged and replied:

"Yahu, its name is Yahu."

"It's a pretty good name, but the temper is a bit bad." Yan shook off the hand that had been petting the dog, finally getting rid of the little black dog that was biting his hand.

At this moment, Adamir was doing his best to bleed himself. His face, which was already paler than that of most women, turned a ghastly white like that of a vampire, making him look almost like a dead man.

Even so, the bells on the main island of the distant Zhar settlement never stopped ringing, one after another, making people uneasy.

The powerful will manifested as a beam of light had completely locked onto the snake ship.

It seems Adamir's bloodletting tactic has failed.

Yan turned to ask Milo:

"What do you say now?"

"Unfortunately, we may need to engage in a battle to protect male-female characters." Milo shrugged, indicating that he didn't really like it either.

"As long as we can find that city, nothing else matters. We can sell him to the tower of the pleasure house later and make a good profit." Yan seemed to be calmly analyzing something...

...

"Alright, alright, any more cutting and it'll break." Milo gestured for Adamir, who was still bleeding profusely, to stop. He even took the time to instruct him, "You have to do it like this. If you absolutely have to die, you have to cut along the blood vessel, vertically, understand? That way, even if someone wants to save you, the wound won't be stitched back up."

"Uh... ah?"

Before Adamir could even process Milo's ramblings, the entire sea suddenly began to tremble.

The group went to the edge of the deck railing and looked down. They saw something rolling under the seawater, causing the surface to appear to boil, making it difficult for the large snake boat to stay stable.

"coming."

Before anyone could see what was beneath the surface, Freya shouted, her gaze fixed on the main island of the Zal settlement.

As she uttered the word "Here I am," Freya released the bowstring she had been holding for so long.

Whoosh!
The arrow shot out into the distant sky.

It struck something almost at the point where it was close to the celestial light, and the arrowhead and shaft shattered into pieces.

...

By the time they could see clearly what had crushed the arrows, the once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds in just a few breaths. Thunder rumbled above the clouds, and the last glimmer of twilight seemed to be completely dispelled, replaced by a gale and the chill it brought.

As for the silhouette of the shadow high in the sky against the backdrop of dark clouds, it was not human-shaped, but rather some kind of flowing fog, but even darker than the dark clouds in the high sky, like some kind of non-physical projection.

When Milo first saw the thick fog, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It took me several seconds to remember the brass ring I had received a long time ago.

That was the medium that sealed the seven detectives into the Shadow of Exile.

The thing on the horizon was in a state similar to the Shadow of Exile. It was not a physical entity, but the embodiment of true will. Ordinary people could not see it at all unless they had spiritual vision.

Just like the ordinary people in the Zar Islands settlement at that moment, they only knew that the sky had suddenly changed color, but they did not know that there was such a ghost hanging above their heads.

...

"It's the embodiment of the High Priest's sacred ring... We're finished..."

On the deck, Adamir could even see shadows in the air. He seemed to remember something terrifying and clutched his head in anguish.
