Phantom of the Pirate

"What's the matter? Is that puppet important to you?" Xue Xiaoyan looked at Locke and asked in confusion.

"Annie is not a puppet, she is my companion!" Locke said emotionally.

"Companion? Is that puppet named Annie alive?" Xue Xiaoyan was surprised.

"Of course, Annie is the navigator on our ship, how could she be dead!" Locke said while continuing to search around.

"But. But you are not. Didn't you say that you are a wooden puppet?" Xue Xiaoyan was shocked by Locke's answer, and her red face suddenly turned pale and pink, and she couldn't even speak. Started to hesitant.

When Locke asked her to look for it, he said that Annie was just a puppet, but he didn't say that the puppet was alive!
"That's right, Annie is a ghost fruit capable person. She doesn't have a body in the first place, she just resides on a puppet! Didn't I tell you?" Locke heard Xue Xiaoyan's intermittent voice, looked at her strangely and said.

"You didn't say that!" Xue Xiaoyan stammered and whispered.

But when Xue Xiaoyan said this, the voice was very low, Locke didn't hear it, but turned around, and continued to search for Annie while calling Annie's name.

"You don't need to yell, she won't respond to you!" After a while, Xue Xiaoyan finally got out of the emotion just now, looking at Locke who was still yelling and said.

"What? What do you mean?" Locke turned his head and looked at Xue Xiaoyan with a puzzled face and asked.

"I said it's useless for you to call me that!"

"why?"

"Our island has always been shrouded in a mysterious force! All creatures with souls, if there is no Jian Chenzhu, will be unconscious!" Xue Xiaoyan explained.

"Sword Chen Bead? What is it?" It was the first time Locke heard of such a strange setting on this island.

"It's the beads on your neck!" Xue Xiaoyan pointed to the beads on Locke's neck and said.

"Hey! Why is there a bead on my neck!" Locke discovered at this time that at some point, there was a small red transparent bead hanging on his neck, just like the glass bead that the world disappeared. Same size.

"This is what we brought for you when we rescued you. I thought you had already discovered it!" Xue Xiaoyan said to Locke speechlessly.

"So it looks like this!" Locke touched his head embarrassedly.

"By the way, you said that creatures with souls must wear this thing to remain unconscious. What's going on?" Locke asked while playing with the Jianchen Bead tied with a rope around his neck.

"I don't know about that, anyway, I've been like this since I was born." Xue Xiaoyan didn't know the answer to Locke's question.

"However, if you really want to know, you can ask the village chief." Xue Xiaoyan added.

"But." Just when Locke wanted to continue to say something.

A reddish slash suddenly appeared behind Xue Xiaoyan.

"Be careful!" Locke reacted quickly. The moment the slash appeared, Locke directly pulled Xue Xiaoyan behind him, and quickly pulled out the Tang knife from his waist to block the slash.

"Gee~grumble~gritch~gritch~"

After Locke blocked the attack, a strange cry appeared in the direction where the attack had just come from.

Locke looked in that direction warily.

I saw a monkey appearing there, with fiery red hair all over.

The strangest thing is that the monkey is wearing a pair of trousers, with a smaller samurai scabbard pinned to its waist, and the knife is holding it in its hand, chirping like a demonstration against Locke.

On the back of it is also a puppet in clothes, which is Anne who has been missing.

"Dead monkey, put Annie down!" After seeing Annie on the monkey's back, Locke rushed towards the monkey.

The monkey looked very excited when he saw Locke rushing towards him, and he greeted him with the small katana in his hand.

At the beginning, Locke didn't take this monkey seriously at all, but when he crossed swords with it, Locke found that the monkey's sword skills were not weaker than his own, and if he didn't use his ability, he couldn't take it down for a while.

A burst of purple light flew out of Locke's body, transforming into a long sword in the air, and then shot towards the monkey.

At this time, the monkey seemed to be frightened by Locke's move, turned around and jumped onto the tree behind him, and then fled towards the center of the island.

The long sword transformed by Locke couldn't keep up with the speed of the monkey for a while, and it was dodged by it one after another, and then disappeared into the forest with a few flashes.

"Don't run away, dead monkey, put Annie down!" Locke saw the monkey fleeing, and turned into a pair of wings behind his back, flying directly in the direction where the monkey was running away.

When leaving, he said to Xue Xiaoyan behind him: "Wait for me here, come back right away!"

"Lock, wait, don't go there, it's dangerous!" The battle just happened too fast, Xue Xiaoyan didn't react at all, and when he did, Locke had already chased him out.

No way, Xue Xiaoyan stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and followed Locke towards the center of the island.

While running, the monkey in front looked back at Locke who was chasing after him from time to time, and made mocking chirping noises by the way.

"Damn monkey, don't let me catch you, I will definitely roast you after I catch you." Locke, who fully activated his ability, looked at the monkey in front of him who had been mocking him, and said viciously.

I don't know what's going on. When Locke woke up, he found that this island had a slight suppression effect on his ability. When he was in the village, it was obvious from time to time.

But after following Xue Xiaoyan out of the village, the suppressing force became stronger and stronger, especially in the process of chasing the monkeys, Locke used his abilities more and more strenuously, and because the bones on his body had not fully healed, Locke didn't dare to just Chase with physical skills.

Soon, when he was about to approach the center of the island, Locke's ability could not be used at all. Although he didn't feel weak like being soaked in water, he couldn't use his ability either.

"If I hadn't been injured, I would have caught you!" Locke stopped slowly, looked at the monkey that was getting further and further away, and sighed helplessly.

"Lock, where are you?" After Locke rested for a while, Xue Xiaoyan's voice came from behind him.

"I will definitely catch you next time!" Locke glanced at the direction where the monkey disappeared just now, turned his head and walked towards Xue Xiaoyan.

"I'm here!"

"Huh~ Fortunately, you're fine, the center of the island is very dangerous, we can't go deep!" Seeing Locke appearing in front of his eyes, Xue Xiaoyan was obviously relieved.
