Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 145 The Sky Island Ruled by the Golden Lion
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was possible. Ethan simply sat down and simply passed the skewers over, with a sincere smile on his face: "I'm really not the person you think, if I were, I'm afraid you It's useless to hide now, right? I'm really from outside the island, and I just came to this island by coincidence. By the way, do you know that you are now hiding in the mouth of a saber-toothed tiger?"

"Ah!" Sophie listened to Ethan's words, looked around her environment carefully, and then exclaimed belatedly, and then ran out quickly.

Seeing Ethan's sincere appearance, and seeing the meat skewers exuding a strong aroma and heat in his hands, Sophie's stomach growled uncontrollably.

"Eat it, I guess you were attracted by their taste when you came here?" Ethan held the meat skewer forward and stuffed it directly into Sophie's hand.

Sophie looked at the meat skewer in her hand, finally couldn't hold back, and bit down hard.

Seeing Sophie gobbling it up, Ethan shook his head. It looked like the child was starving, but from what he said just now, they should have a fixed "settlement", but why did she run out?

Ethan turned his gaze to the corpses of the beasts around him.

And these strange beasts...

Ethan had a stomach full of ideas that needed to be confirmed, but seeing the little girl eating deliciously, he still resisted the urge to ask questions.

But seeing the little girl eating and eating, tears suddenly flowed down, but she tried her best to keep her mouth open and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"Hey hey... okay why are you crying?" Ethan had a headache, he couldn't see other people crying.

"No...it's okay, it's just...it's just that I haven't had a good meal for several days." The girl replied weakly, "My name is Sophie, thank you for the barbecue..."

"It's nothing, it's easy to do... However, I have some questions to ask you, about the 'Ski' you mentioned just now, who is it?" Ethan waved his hand, and then asked the question he cared most about.

"Ski... is the ruler of this island." Sophie showed an angry expression, "I heard from my mother that before I was born, he forcibly kidnapped the entire island to the sky and enslaved the people on the island to serve him. Do things, disobey him and you will be killed!"

Ethan showed an expression of "as expected". Although he didn't know what Shiji the Golden Lion had done, he could tell from Sophie's description that the Shiki she was talking about must be the Golden Lion and he didn't run away.

"Then, why did you run out? I heard what you said before, this kind of behavior is forbidden, right? And..." Ethan pointed to the corpses of beasts lying around, "These guys are so aggressive, for It's too dangerous for you, isn't it?"

Mentioning this, Sophie shook her head sadly: "They were not like this at the beginning, I heard from my mother that people and animals coexisted peacefully on this island, but everything changed after Shi Ke came! There used to be a herb called 'IQ' on the island, and creatures that ate this herb would speed up the process of adapting to the environment and evolving, but Skeeter took all the herbs on the island and used the beasts on the island to Experiment, so they become what they are now!"

"Can it speed up...evolution?" Ethan was a little curious, but resisted the urge to ask, and listened to Sophie continue.

"...Our village, in order to avoid being attacked by wild beasts, can only plant trees called 'Daft Green' around the village. The smell they emit can drive away wild beasts. But people will also smell that smell for a long time. Sick! That kind of disease can only be cured by 'IQ'..."

"So, you ran out alone, trying to find the herb called 'IQ' on the island, right?" Ethan continued Sophie's words.

"Yes...my mother is sick, my father was taken away by Shiji, only I can save my mother..."

Ethan frowned and sighed helplessly. If she hadn't happened to be here, she would never have survived in this forest.

"Well, tell me the location of the village, and I'll take you back."

"No!" Sophie resolutely refused, "I haven't found 'IQ' yet! If I go back like this, Mommy... Mommy..."

Ethan sighed: "What does that herb named 'IQ' look like?"

"Here!" Sophie rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white forearm, on which a clear pattern was drawn!The pattern is a snow-white spherical flower, and on the spherical surface, there is a pink wreath around it, which looks very cute.

"This is what IQ looks like. I asked the old man in the village to draw it for me, so that I won't make a mistake!" Sophie laughed, "Would you like to help me find it?"

"Is it the only way to do this?" Ethan complained in his heart about his overflowing sympathy, but when his eyes fell on Sophie's elbow, he even saw a short section of white wings.

"This... this is..." Ethan frowned and wondered, "Is this a wing?"

If it hadn't been confirmed that this is the island where the golden lion used its ability to float up into the sky, Ethan would have thought it was an empty island. After all, only those with wings can be found on the empty island.

"Yes... eh? Don't you? Ah... That's right, neither the Golden Lion nor those outsiders..." Sophie suddenly realized.

Ethan was amazed, but he still drew his attention back, carefully looked at the "IQ" in Sophie's hand, and firmly remembered its appearance.

"Okay, I've already memorized the appearance." Ethan nodded, "Now it's time to send you back to the village."

"Huh?" Sophie froze for a moment.

"Since according to what you said, that 'Ski' has already searched for all the IQ on the island, so even if there is still on the island, it is not easy to find it? Do you know where there is still IQ?" Ethan asked.

Sophie shook her head.

"That's fine. Since you don't know, then follow my way, but first, I have to send you to the village." Ethan said with a smile.

"Do you know where IQ is?" Sophie looked at Ethan curiously.

Ethan nodded: "Since the IQ on the island has been poached by Shiji, then go to Shiji's place, he will definitely have some."

"No! You can't go!" Sophie seemed to think of something, and immediately retorted emotionally, "You will lose your life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge lion-headed beast followed the smell of barbecue and found Ethan and Sophie standing beside the barbecue. He jumped up and bit Ethan and Sophie.

Amidst Sophie's horrified screams, Ethan fiercely drew out his sword, and a turquoise sword qi slashed out instantly. The lion-headed monster who was still fierce just now let out a miserable scream, and his body was hit by the sword qi. Hit, immediately fell to the ground, no more sound.

Ethan looked at the lion-headed monster with some surprise. In his feeling, the sword energy could at least cut it in half, but he didn't expect it was just a fatal wound... The monster here, The flesh is so hard?

Turning his head, he suddenly found that Sophie looked at him full of surprise and admiration.

"You... you actually gave... the hunting lion to..." She stammered as she spoke.

"Hey, it's so-so, now you should believe that I can go to Shiji to help you find IQ, right?" Ethan put the sword away with a smile.

"Yeah!" Sophie nodded vigorously.
