Jungle White Rose

Chapter 17 Red and White Roses

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what you've been through, and I can't really empathize with you." Xia shrugged, "After all, it's a part of your life, and all I can do is pull you out of the nightmare. Bundle."

Only then did Shia turn her eyes to him completely. What ordinary people couldn't see was that Gabriel's body was surrounded by a thick black mist.

In the darkness that almost covered Gabriel's small and delicate face, she looked straight at the angry child.

Gabriel was stunned, it was the first time he heard someone describe his past so badly, and even mentioned that he could help.

She sighed resignedly, the thick black mist almost completely covered Gabriel's face, Shia raised her hand and patted it like before, and the hostile black mist was dispersed again.

It's just that doing so can't solve the problem at the root, and it still needs Gabriel to really come out.

"Go to sleep and talk about it when you want to."

Shea let the child who was still struggling with herself, she didn't have the habit of forcing the child to speak.

After she left Gabriel still sat there in silence, his eyes dark, and even Nathani felt that the night was strange, and he jumped out of the fruit bowl and climbed to sleep in the newly added velvet nest in the cage on the wall.

Because the private treasure map had already been in Xi Ya's hands, after the rectification was over, everyone was told that they would gather for a meeting the next morning.

Everyone's face is not only not irritable, but even high-spirited. They actually wanted to hunt for treasure when they got it a hundred years ago. However, the curse made the Maria only sail in the deep sea. No matter how the pirates changed their routes, In the end it's just going in circles.

This is a long time, and no one knows whether the treasure of this mysterious island has been discovered.

Shea solved this doubt for them. She held a branch of blue-purple eustoma with two stalks, and pointed to the translucent island on the sea surface of the map.

There is also a box of opened treasures piled up on it, but swords and skeletons are placed on top of the treasures. This kind of warning not only failed to deter, but provoked batch after batch of warriors to conquer.

And this island is in the direction of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by reefs, wrote a passage: - "They wake up at sunset, they revel after sunset, and fall into a deep sleep at sunrise."

This island, which was not recorded on the official map, was what they were looking for.

"Here I borrow the supreme power from the night. If the flower in my hand ignites in the direction pointed, it can prove that the treasure is sleeping soundly and waiting to be awakened."

Shea closed her eyes and said this solemnly, then slowly raised her arms. The pirates had gathered around the desk and formed a circle, but the moment the captain stretched out his arms, they quickly leaned back to avoid it.

Everyone knows that Captain Shea hates human contact.

Shea closed her eyes and turned around a little bit. The pirates were all drawn to the flowers in her hand, swallowing their saliva nervously. Gabriel, who was a bystander, felt that such a scene was very funny.

When turning to the southwest, the eustoma suddenly ignited a red flame, and the pirates let go of the flames, cheering and shouting on the Maria could not stop.

The tongue of fire swallowed the flowers and burned upwards towards Xi Ya's fingers. She opened her eyes, smiled and threw the flower branches that were about to burn to her fingertips into the sea.

Strangely, the red flame on the eustoma did not disappear like water, but burned in the water until the flower branch turned into ashes before extinguishing.

Stuart also saw the clue, he came over and asked: "You always use blue flames as your logo, why did you ignite such a weird red this time?"

"Because we were locked, the island was alive, we were looking for them, and they found us."

Gilbert's heart trembled, "So the fire is their warning?"

"It can be said that it seems..." Xi Ya smiled, "We have dug a big guy."

Shea's red eyes were shining with a certain light, and the pirates would never refuse greater temptations. Stuart was already a servant of the devil and would not deliberately stop them. .

It was determined that the approximate southwest direction should be an unnamed island in the Eastern Caribbean Sea. The name was erased by the official, and it was even said to be a small island that did not exist at all.

The only variable is Gabriel.

While everyone else was noisily excited towards the target, Gabriel alone took out a close-fitting dagger and wiped it over and over again on the stern.

Shia was also at the stern, paralyzed on the lady's couch as usual, and Nathani was playing wild in the fruit bowl. She didn't come here specially to watch him polish his weapons, but the group of pirates were really too noisy.

As the first mate, Stuart worked tirelessly to help Xia manage everything on the Maria. Stuart, who was weak in front of her, was a powerful existence in front of humans.

He has absolutely sharp claws, extremely sharp eyesight and hearing, and a singing voice that makes people fall into the abyss. He can drag humans into the deep sea at an extremely fast speed and die due to the burst of air pressure.

In short, apart from the nonsense of the pirates before, no one dared to yell in front of Stuart until now after Stuart cut the hard golden lock with his claws.

This route is not easy to go. I have encountered many treasure-hunting pirate ships, but they will disappear mysteriously every night. Only the Maria successfully bypassed Grand Turk Island and entered the Eastern Caribbean on this sea route. Sailing to Bermuda.

The scenery along the way is only a short time to exchange supplies on land, and the rest of the time will be boring even to noisy pirates, who have been at sea for too long.

In the middle of the night, Shia suddenly opened her eyes.

She is having nightmares again.

In the dream, she was flying around the Maria, her black wings cast shadows in the sea by the moonlight.

But there was clearly something floating in the shadows, but she didn't seem to be able to see it, and kept flying over and over again to ensure the safety of the brig.

After all, there are too many ships that have disappeared at night recently, and this can also be used as a reminder that they are closer to their destination.

Intermittent singing sounds from the deep sea:

——“They wake up at sunset, they revel after sunset, and fall asleep when the sun rises.”

Xia also listened obsessively, she had never heard such a beautiful voice, like in a sacred domed church, the whole building was decorated with complicated patterns, and the ethereal echoes made the singing shake the soul.

Xi Ya felt her eyes lost their direction, and her wings felt heavy. As she flew slower and slower, huge splashes appeared in the shadow cast on the sea surface. Xi Ya seemed to have never heard it, and was still intoxicated by the singing.

She couldn't see what it was in the dream, only knew that in the next second she was tightly wrapped around her body and dragged into the cold and dark sea water.

The sea water poured into her breathless nose and mouth, and entered her lungs. The deep suffocation made Shia sleepy and desperate.

The dawn broke the dark night in the sky, Shia quietly opened her eyes.

Another flower appeared beside her pillow, she put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, the elegant fragrance of jasmine relieved a lot of the cool atmosphere she brought from her dream.

She threw it to the ground and jumped out from the open window.

Outside the window is the sea, she spread her wings and flew towards the sun.

Until the first ray of light shines on the sea surface from the cloud, she circles and turns around the beam of light passing through the cloud.

Distraught is the best way to describe her current appearance.

Stuart led Gabriel out of the cabin, and saw Gilbert lying on the side of the boat with his chin propped up.

He followed and looked over, and it was Xia flying around the light with her wings spread. The sky and the earth were clear and transparent. There were no angels singing hymns praising Jehovah, only a girl with a pair of black wings was flying freely in it.

A demon has an exquisite face, and her long pure white hair makes her shine brightly under the light, ignoring the opposition of light and darkness, mixing them together to give birth to such a perverted guy.

There was only one word that didn't quite match the devil in Stuart's mind.

——Shining...

Gabriel shook his palm with a very small force, he withdrew the amazing touch and looked down at the boy.

Disgust was evident on Gabriel's face, "She's not a competent captain at all."

At least the captain never eats and drinks all day long, does nothing, and leaves all troubles to the first mate.

"Stuart, is she really a demon?"

Shouldn't the devil be a guy who is trying his best to destroy and has big ambitions?

Stuart patted his little head funny and said: "I'm sorry to tell you, she is."

Gabriel let go of his hand silently. At least the devil signed a lifelong contract at every turn. She did it, but Stuart was signed for life in order to give him a chance to survive.

The burden on his heart was even heavier. Someone had made unnecessary sacrifices for him.

The beam of light surrounded by Shia disappeared after the clouds parted and a blue sky appeared, and she still did not return to the Maria. The black wings created unlimited freedom of passage for her on the sea.

"Shea."

Shia stopped quickly and couldn't hold back her inertia. A miracle appeared in front of nothing just now, and she plunged headfirst into the arms of the man.

Xi Ya didn't rush into this embrace, she sniffed the familiar clear scent of the man, like the scent of ancient snow wood, with a touch of rose in it.

There was a man's warm palm on her waist, Shia closed her eyes, "What are you worried about?"

Erebus's steady voice sounded above her head, "You may die."

Even Erebus said that, she didn't think she could come back alive, she stretched out her arms to hug the man, raised her head and her eyes were shining.

"If I come back, will you continue to send flowers?"

Hearing about the small movements he made quietly, Erebus turned his head sideways and looked at the little Maria seen from a long distance away.

He caught a glimpse of Shia's coiled hair without the flower decoration he gave, but ordinary lace embroidery headbands.

The flowers he sent, he knew that Xi Ya didn't seem to want them at all, and they all ended up in flames.

Erebus pulled away from this sad topic, and asked without looking at her: "Do you have to go?"

"must go."

She didn't explain why she had to go, but the goal refused to change.

Erebus seemed to have made some important decision before speaking again: "I will go too."

The author has something to say:

I'm coming!

Still thinking about how much more it will be on May [-]st...
