Lucius' eyes have night vision ability. Under his guidance, the three of them quickly returned to the port where the flying ship was moored.

In the darkness where it was almost impossible to see what was close at hand, Timir followed closely beside Lucius, with Musha behind him, and the three of them held hands and strode forward without hesitation.

The red light in Lucius' eyes could not illuminate the darkness, and he didn't want to do so, and even prevented Musa from using the light technique on the grounds that it would alarm Gavin.He clearly saw that the treasure tree beside the road had turned into a gnawing monster, protruding branches with sharp teeth, spying around them.The skull-sized pearls all turned into skulls, moving their jaws in groups of three or five, as if talking, but strangely, no sound came out.

The city of Wangyou is not like a city of happiness at all, but more like a purgatory on earth.

Lucius walked very carefully, trying to avoid those skulls as much as possible.When Timir found the hero sword, he encountered a skull that could bite people, a bit like a soldier on patrol. Fortunately, he responded in time and smashed the skull with the hero sword, otherwise it would not only be a scar It's that simple.

"Timer, you and Musha get on the boat first, and I'll find the mechanism to open the stone gate." If the flying ship wants to leave the port, it must first open the stone gate leading to the outside of the city, otherwise it's just a trapped animal struggling.

"Lucius..." Timmel paused, and finally said, "Be careful!"

"En!" Lucius responded briefly, and immediately walked in another direction.

"Musha, I feel something's wrong." Timmel said in a low voice until he could no longer hear Lucius' footsteps.

Musha snapped his fingers, and a small ball of light appeared in his palm. Although the light was not strong, it was enough to see the strange creatures around.Those things seem to be extremely afraid of the light, as long as the light cluster shines on them, they will immediately retreat.

"Although Gavin is imprisoned in Wangyou City, Gavin also controls Wangyou City. Why did we escape so easily?" Timmir's face was a little pale, and he didn't even realize it. His eyes kept looking in the direction where Lucius disappeared.

The ball of light in Musha's hand flickered and slowly went out, he smiled wryly: "Timer, we haven't escaped yet..."

As if responding to Musha's words, the ground shook violently, and with a sound of "呱", a purple lightning flashed across the sky, and the torn light illuminated most of the sky at once, and the tip pointed directly at Gavin. The main hall where the stone statue is located.

"Ah—" A low growl confused Timir's thinking.

"Lucius?" Timur was about to get off the boat, but was held tightly by Musha. "He may be in danger..."

"Timer...Timer...where are you?..." Gavin's curse-like murmur came from a distance. The voice was not loud at first, but it made people feel close and far away.Accompanied by the call is the sound of step by step, every time it falls, the ground will tremble, and even the airship staying in the port will shake because of the sudden waves on the water.

Timir suddenly felt that his consciousness was blurred, and the voice seemed to come from someone closest to him, and he wanted to return to the side of the voice no matter what.

"Timer!" Musa felt something was wrong, and immediately blocked Timer's way with his staff, but unexpectedly, Timir turned around and stabbed at him with the hero sword.

Musha was not good at melee combat, so he had to retreat immediately. After retreating, Timir had already jumped off the flying boat and walked towards Gavin.

At this moment, the stone gate blocking the port suddenly clicked and opened slowly.In desperation, Musha immediately went after Timir, and was about to touch Timir's shoulder, but Timir suddenly turned around and raised his sword to sweep, at the same time bent his legs, and hooked towards Musha's feet.

With his chest in his arms, Musha backed away, lifted off on flat ground, and flew back far away with a whoosh.Timir didn't chase after him either, he put away his sword and walked in the direction of the main hall.

"Timer, this is a trap!" Musha had no choice but to turn around and chase him again. This time, it was not Timer who blocked him, but those branches with sharp teeth and skulls in twos and threes.Due to the sudden attack, and Musha was not good at close combat, his hands and feet were immediately entangled in branches, and several skulls creaked and moved their jaws, as if they would pounce on him and bite his flesh in the next second.

Seeing Timir's figure getting farther and farther away, Musha was in a hurry, chanting spells in his mouth, but was always interrupted by branches and skeletons.

"It's useless!" Lucius' voice was as thorny as usual, but Musha was relieved.Hearing a few sounds like metal collisions, the branches and tendrils transformed from the treasure tree of gold and silver were cut into several pieces, and they could still twist after falling to the ground.The skull made the sound of snorting and puffing air, and gathered towards Lucius, but it was quickly shattered into powder under his bony spur-grown fist.

"Girl, go back to the airship to meet us." Lucius kept running towards Timir, and everything that obstructed him was smashed to pieces along the way.

Musha wanted to follow, but his face changed when he heard the "squeak" sound near the flying boat, and he hurried back to the flying boat.The sound made people's teeth sour after hearing it, as if it was sawing wood.The staff in Musha's hand pointed towards the water, and a cloud of silver light appeared near the top of the staff, like a torch, immediately illuminating the waters in front of him.There are countless fish bones in the water near the hull of the boat, with their mouths opening and closing at the same time to squeeze out many air bubbles, and at the same time the pieces of wood on the bottom of the boat were also gnawed off.It seems that they want to destroy the flying ship.

Now that the enemy has been discovered, it is not difficult to deal with it. Musha cast a large-scale protective restraint, which easily kept those bone fish out.

Musha heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately shifted his gaze to Lucius and Timmel—they were actually fighting fiercely.

Bone spurs grew out of Lucius' knuckles, and all the black claws popped out, but Timir seemed to ignore it, not only fighting desperately, but even refusing to defend.Seeing that the sharp claws were about to hit Timur's body several times, Lucius could only be forced to withdraw his hand.

"Timer..." Lucius found that Timir's eyes were empty and knew that he must have been manipulated. He was cruel and punched Timir in the back of the head with a flaw.

Timir struggled a bit, and soon fell into Lucius' arms.

Lucius didn't dare to neglect, and quickly rushed towards the flying ship with Timir in his arms.

However, it was too late.When Lucius saw that the sharp-toothed branches and skulls that were about to come forward to attack all backed away, and they were strangely quiet at the same time, he couldn't help but look back - the black marble humanoid statue had already walked out of the hall and was heading towards where he was. coming from the direction.

Perhaps it was because Timir took away the hero sword, and Gavin turned into a stone statue at some point, but the frightening thing was that every step he took, the ground shook as if it was about to crack, and he walked quite fast.Just take a step, it will be as far as walking a hundred steps.

Not only that, but Lucius suddenly felt that the air became heavy, like a viscous liquid, which actually made him feel like he was being held back.Obviously trying to run forward, but the movement is slow as if walking.

"How dare you provoke me!" Gavin roared angrily. Following his roar, lightning appeared one after another in the sky, and some even struck down on Lucius.

Lucius reluctantly released his magic power to form a blood-colored shield, but at the same time, he found that his strength was leaking out of his body continuously, and he couldn't hold Timmel any longer.

"Idiot, I'll help you." A cloud of silver mist shot from the direction of the flying ship and enveloped Lucius, and Lucius suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Just as he was about to reach the airship, Lucius heard the whistling wind behind him, his heart tightened, and he immediately threw Timir in the direction of Musha.

Musha subconsciously brought Timir closer to his arms, and saw a huge black shadow appearing behind Lucius, vaguely resembling a skull head fiercely bumping into Lucius' back.

Lucius did not turn around to resist, but suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the flying boat.With a huge force, the flying boat was pushed towards the opened stone door, but Lucius fell into the water with a plop.

After hitting Lucius, the black shadow seemed to lose some power, but it still went on and hit the flying ship.Musha felt a tightness in his chest, and then heard a cracking sound, and the restriction that had cost nearly half of his divine power had been destroyed.But the speed of the airship doubled because of this, and it passed through the stone gate in one go.

The angry roar was getting closer and closer, but the flying ship did not stop, and continued to move forward at high speed.Musha looked under the water and found that Lucius had recovered the body of the crocodile and was pushing the boat forward.Most of his skin, which was as hard as armor, was bloody and blood was oozing out continuously in the water. There were several bone fish lying around the wound, gnawing on them tightly, which made people feel frightened.

Musha couldn't bear to see it. He is not good at healing spells, so he can't do anything, but it is not difficult to help push the boat forward.

"I curse you——!!!" Gavin's voice became extremely eerie. He seemed unable to leave the city of Wangyou. Even though he was standing on the edge of the port, he didn't dare to go into the water.

The outline of the City of Forgetfulness is getting farther and farther behind, but Lucius and Musha still dare not relax.Although most of the energy source in the airship is left, it seems that it cannot be mobilized in this area. If the airship is allowed to float on its own, it will be very bad to return to Wangyou City.

After the city of Wangyou was blurred in his vision, Musha first pulled Lucius up, and the two of them were lying on the deck of the boat panting for breath.

After Lucius returned to human form, the wound on his back became even more grim, and broken bones could be seen in several places.After pulling out the bone fish and throwing them into the water, and casting a spell to speed up the healing, Musha found that he could no longer gather strength, and the divine power circulating in his body had been exhausted in the constant destruction of the flying boat.

Fortunately, they were indeed getting farther and farther away from the city of Wangyou, and dark clouds began to appear around them again. Just like when they came, the flying ship broke into the space full of lightning.

******

On one of the Spice islands.

It was still the darkness that the sun couldn't shine, countless flashes of light were constantly moving, and the sound of hungry swallowing beasts came from the wind.

A little meteor in the sky pierced the sky and landed on this dark island.At first, there was a faint light, and then it gradually became stronger, and a figure slowly gathered.

The turmoil caused by the bright light immediately spread throughout this small island, and countless light spots converged here at the same time, but after the human figure formed, they backed away in fright and did not dare to move forward.

"Drake, come out and meet me!" This was a man who hid his whole body under a black cloak. His voice was as sweet as a holy chant, but it caused the monsters to howl in pain.

"Arien, don't scare those lovely children every time you come to my place!" The slightly frivolous voice announced Drake's excellent mood at this time: "It's a great honor that the inheritor of the Overwatch Temple is here in person. The place where I live...is it for dedication?"
