I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

The sailors on watch at night were playing cards and chatting, but their expressions were not as relaxed as usual, but more serious, probably trying to divert their attention and not let their hearts be occupied by the silence of this sea area.

He saw Shia sitting on the bow, so he went over to say hello.

Shia was flipping through the book, as if she was still studying in the morning light, Ah Xiang called out, but Shia didn't respond.

Ah Xiang thought she was too focused, so he cleared his throat and came to Shia's side.

He shouted again, and patted Shia's shoulder again, but the girl who was concentrating on studying didn't pay attention to him.

At this time, Ah Xiang suddenly discovered that on Shia's arm, there seemed to be something wriggling between the gaps in the armor, like twisted maggots between rotten flesh and blood.

Looking at the shocking scene, Ah Xiang's heart skipped a beat.

"what happened?"

At this time, Shia suddenly made a sound and looked at Xiang.

Everyone who usually sits for a long time still needs to stand up and move their waists more!

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===818. Price===

Ah Xiang swallowed, he knew that if he rashly asked about the scene he saw just now, Shia might silence him.

But Ah Xiang was still curious, so he asked.

"Is there nothing wrong with your body?"

He regretted it when he asked, because it was definitely not without problems, it was like asking a dying person how long you can live, how stupid it is.

"Sorry, I meant"

Ah Xiang wanted to explain, but Shia pursed her lips and smiled, and she took off her gauntlet directly.

Under the silver armor was not the girl's slender white hands, but a mass of flesh that was about to rot.

The lump of flesh trembled slightly with the beating of the heart, among which soft tentacles were climbing on it, Shia spread her five fingers, and the bones twisted in a strange way, which was more like human limbs than human limbs. It was the body of some kind of monster.

Inside that arm, there seemed to be some kind of pure flame burning, making the skin transparent, and the entire palm showing brilliant colors.

Such marks spread all the way to the upper arm, and finally disappeared in the armor.

Ah Xiang doesn't know how many parts of Shia's body are still the same as ordinary people, but the current situation is obviously not "normal".

Just seeing that appearance, Ah Xiang's scalp felt numb, and some hallucinations appeared in his vision, which made him feel dizzy that he hadn't seen for many years.

Seeing this, Shia put on the gauntlet and patted Ah Xiang on the shoulder.

"Sober up."

She said, making Ah Xiang calm down a little bit.

"This is, the wound?"

Ah Xiang hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"That's the price."

Shia replied.

"In this world, the more you know, the less fortunate you are."

"The more you know, the more unfortunate you are?"

Ah Xiang adjusted his glasses, looking extremely confused.

"The more things you witness, the more challenges your rationality will receive. In many cases, you will lose your humanity. Don't pursue knowledge beyond your own limit, otherwise you will only usher in a more terrible than death. end."

Shia looked at the calm sea and said.

"It's good that you are curious, but being too curious can lead to dangerous situations."

Perhaps it was because Ah Xiang's appearance was too similar to a mage Shia had known, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"But that's the risk that comes with acquiring knowledge."

Ah Xiang was a little reluctant, he tried to argue.

"If there were no navigators who ventured deep into the sea and crossed the sea in storms, we might not know the new continent on the other side of the ocean until now, and we would not be able to find safe passages around calm zones and thunderstorms, and the world would not develop."

"Miss Shia, I am very clear that if I want to gain knowledge, I will definitely put myself in danger, but if I can benefit future generations and pass on this precious knowledge, then I think it will be worth sacrificing my life. Life is worth it."

Hearing what Xiang said, Shia sighed.

"You don't know the essence of this world. Even if you can control everything for a short time, you will end up in the same direction and step into destruction in the end."

Just like a long night, even if there are fireworks in the middle, it will eventually be silent, waiting for the dawn that does not know when it will come.

Ah Xiang didn't refute Shia, because he knew that he certainly didn't know as much about the world as this young lady.

And many things, without investigation, have no right to speak.

For a child who was born on an island since he was a child, the world is a sea for him. He has never seen the vastness of land, mountains, rivers, grasslands, or lakes. He will form his own independent world view, although That can be far from the real world.

On the sea level in front of the bow, the golden color became brighter and brighter, and a ray of morning light lit up the entire sea area, and the calm mirror-like sea reflected the brilliance of the morning sun, like a magnificent ensemble.

"Let's rest for a while, the next journey may be very hard."

Shia patted Ah Xiang. For some reason, Ah Xiang suddenly felt drowsy. He returned to his cabin numbly, lay down on his head, and when he closed his eyes and woke up again, the sky outside the window had already stepped into the sky. dusk.

"How long have I slept?"

Without dreaming or receiving any disturbance, Ah Xiang woke up feeling that his mental state was better than ever.

He asked the sailors coming and going, and one of them answered him.

"It's almost dinner time, Brother Xiang."

Hearing this answer, Ah Xiang felt very hungry.

When he came to the deck, he saw Shia and Lu Jian drinking the soup made from salted fish with bowls in their hands.

Thinking of what he saw in the morning, he originally wanted to ask Shia how she was doing, but felt that it was unnecessary.

"Come and drink the soup, fresh fish soup is here, what a beautiful thing to drink fish soup."

When Lu Jian saw Ah Xiang, he immediately called him over for a drink.

Ah Xiang picked up the bowl, the fish soup was no different from what he had seen before, although he lost his appetite recalling the scene he saw in the morning, but when the soup fell into his stomach, he thought it was the most delicious he had ever had bowl.

Three times, five times and two times, Ah Xiang finished the fish soup.

At this time, the sun was just sinking into the sea, and the last afterglow was fleeting, making it impossible to capture the brilliance of that moment.

The sea was dark again.

It's like a weekend on a rest day, playing games all night until early in the morning, looking at the rising sun and feeling that you must relax this weekend, only to wake up and find that it's already dark.

There is a sense of time being stolen.

"We'll be reaching that island soon."

Standing behind the rudder, Changzheng looked at the treasure map in his hand and said.

Stars lit up at night, which was a different arrangement from the original starry sky. Chang Zheng relied on the positions of those stars to find his direction. Soon, he saw an island emerging on the other side of the sea.

The island has a large area, roughly the size of a city. There are low mountains on it, covered with vegetation, but there are no traces of any living things. From a distance, it looks like a lonely mountain standing on the sea.

According to the previous statement, the monster that only existed in the 42nd second should have noticed the people who landed on this island.

"Shiya and I will go and check the situation first, and if there is no problem, we will notify you."

Lu Bian said.

Although for Nagamasa, it is his ideal and pursuit to personally explore the island and discover the buried treasure, but after witnessing the strange situation on the passenger ship, Nagamasa also knew that he would only get his head off if he went to the island rashly. That's king.

He stayed on board honestly.

Since the island has no port, when the boat arrived at the waters near the island, Lu Jian, Xi Ya, and Baobao took a small boat and rowed to the island.

Soon, the boat ran aground on the beach, and Lu Jian stepped on the icy water and set foot on this island.

For a moment, Lu Jian felt the frozen air around him begin to flow.

===819. Giant===

Lu Yi looked at the small piece of wood in his hand, and the time was exactly 42 seconds.

He was preparing to face the monster made of black mist, but nothing appeared.

However, Lu Yi did feel a gust of wind blowing towards his face, but the wind was extremely dry and hot, and it seemed to be mixed with gravel. It made people feel very uncomfortable to breathe into the nose, and wanted to cough and vomit.

Lu Jian saw that the sky here showed a strange orange color, as if it had been burned by some kind of flame, and the closer the orange color was to the island, the redder it looked, like blood.

The black mist monster was nowhere to be found. At least for now, Lu Jian didn't see any similar monsters.

"The wind is not quite right."

Shia raised her hand, slightly covering her eyes.

In the desert, this kind of wind and sand is very common, but on the small island, the sand is mostly wet, and there is no gravel in the field of vision, but the wind always gives people a grainy feeling, burning the respiratory tract .

Therefore, she opened a magic barrier to block the breeze, but the burning sensation could not go away, spreading to the depths of her body.

"The wind here also carries pollution."

Lu Jian quickly realized the problem.

On the other side, Leopard, who was wearing white clothes and a scarlet hakama, took a deep breath, as if intoxicated by it.

"What a clean air, it's so beautiful my family."

she sighed.

For an existence of her level, the wind here is indeed extremely fresh.

"Are we entering the slit of time now?"

Shia glanced around, she asked Leopard.
