Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

When he first came to this small area, he didn't pay much attention.

But when he had entered the dream of one of them and walked around, he discovered the difference between here and the surroundings.

In such an environment, the surrounding area is actually very...quiet.

There is a too obvious difference between here and the surrounding area.

Outside the dream bubbles of the island residents, outside almost every bubble, there are various dream creatures trying to break the bubbles and absorb the energy inside.

Although there are very few creatures that can actually break the bubble or even open a gap, there are many creatures that work hard for it.

There is only one person outside a bubble, which can be regarded as a small number.

However, this is obviously not the case.

The dream bubble formed by these members of the merchant ship who had just arrived on the island was incompatible with the surroundings.

Not a single dream creature tried to come near.

After a simple circle, Alka discovered that the problem came from the largest dream bubble in the center.

He should be the leader, or captain, of this team.

The size of that bubble is about the same as Alka's current dream bubble, which translates into at least a second-stage peak person or even a third-stage person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look into the distance, where there were also dream bubbles that were similar in appearance to this bubble, or even bigger.

Those dream bubbles are the strongest people on this island.

The specific one, Alka only knew was the mayor of the town.

But even for them, there are still dream creatures trying to destroy their dream bubble.

Obviously, this is not the reason for strength.

But other issues.

After thinking briefly, Alka grabbed a dream creature not far away and carried it slowly towards the middle ball.

From the moment it started moving in this direction, the dream creature in its hand had already begun to struggle.

He showed some...reluctance.

When Alka held it and was almost completely close to the dream bubble in the center, the dream creature stopped struggling.

I just shrank into a ball and didn't want to face it at all.

Looking at the ball of light and shadow in his hand, Alka thought for a while and let go of his hand.

The moment he let go of his hand, the light and shadow immediately turned into sharp arrow-like objects and quickly ran away into the distance.

"Sure enough, there is something in this dream bubble that is deterring these surrounding creatures."

Thinking of this, Alka turned his head.

To be honest, he now wants to enter this bubble to find out.

But obviously that's not possible now.

The owner of this dream bubble must have some ability or item that can protect his dream.

Not to mention how powerful he is.

After thinking about it, a mirror appeared on Alka's face.

Then the figure of Death in the dream appeared in the mirror on his face.

The ball on the waist appeared, light and shadow spread out, and the cloak of light and shadow covered Alka's body.

A black scythe condensed in his hand, and he slashed at the dream bubble in front of him without hesitation.

"when!"

It was like hitting metal.

There was a gritty sound on the bubble.

Sure enough, even his own dreams are so well protected.

Alka could feel that the bubble was surrounded by a layer of strange energy, which was used to protect the strength of the dream bubble.

Pink mist floated out, drifting towards the film of the bubble in front of it.

However, all the fog was blocked out.

This dream bubble is repelling.

It excludes everything that does not belong to this bubble, which means that even if Alka wants to enter the dream bubble, he will still be blocked.

I thought for a moment and reached out.

However, it was as if the hand had encountered a solid stone wall and could not reach in at all.

Looking at the bubbles in front of him, Alka marked them and left directly.

There is nothing left to test. It is certain that there are indeed people or forces in the boundless sea who have mastered the ability to protect their dream bubbles.

But only this person's bubble is like this.

There was no such change in the surrounding bubbles.

But the deterrent power exuded by one person's bubble is enough to disperse a large circle of dreams around him.

The place where his crew rested was so accurately located in the dream that it was within a deterrent range.

Then the captain in the middle must know that he has this ability. He deliberately arranged for his crew to rest within a certain range.

Since you can't get any information, just get it from the bubbles around you.

Alka picked one and got into it.

In this way, Alka spent the whole night swimming among these bubbles, but due to physical limitations, he still made some choices.

Entering too many dream bubbles in one night takes too much energy and magic.

But even so, he still gained a lot.

…

When the sky lights up again.

Alka and the others had already divided into two teams and started the last day's operation.

Jason's team continues to gather intelligence.

Alka and the others have already arrived at the gate and Baishi to explore the last area.

"The area we are exploring today is very dangerous. You must stay close behind me and be prepared to fight." Shiraishi said after walking for a while.

Everyone nodded.

Then I heard Shiraishi's rambling explanation.

“The area we finally explored today is actually larger than what we explored in the two days yesterday combined.

It's just that there are many areas inside that are very dangerous and we have to go around them, so we don't need to explore too many areas. "

Through Shiraishi's previous explanation and the graffiti-like map in his hand, they already had a rough idea of ​​the general shape of the island.

It formed a long strip, thin at the top and thick at the bottom. There was a crescent gap above the long strip gap, which was the bay where they landed.

If it were divided in half, the town and bay port would be on top of the island.

They began to explore this final area, circumnavigating more and more distances.

It often takes a huge turn.

Since they need to check the map, Alka and the others asked Shiraishi to walk around this dangerous area even if they were going around.

Shiraishi also told them why these dangerous areas are dangerous and why they were created.

It truly functions as a tour guide.

Alka and the others' understanding of this island has improved rapidly.

In this way, they came to the most important place.

In front of us is a valley.

On both sides are two peaks of different sizes.

At the entrance of the valley, a stone tablet was thoughtfully set up, with words that Alka and the others could not understand.

But it is obviously the writing used by the islanders on this island.

"This stone tablet says Broken Town."

"About 600 years ago, we don't remember exactly how long ago, we were still living in this valley at that time.

However, due to the explosion of a ruins, the entire valley became an extremely dangerous area, so we had to move the town to its current location. "

Shiraishi acted a little indifferent when he said this, shrugged and said: "It is because of the eruption of the ruins that the entire island is extremely dangerous at night."

Hearing this, Alka asked beside him with some doubts: "I have always heard you say that it is dangerous at night, so what kind of situation will happen on the island at night compared with the daytime, so that it is so dangerous?"

"Don't you know?" Bai Shi turned around and asked in surprise.

He thought that Alka and the others had been in this small town for several days, and they still didn’t know why it was dangerous at night?

Alka was slightly embarrassed. It was obviously the information that should be obtained in advance, but until now they had not intentionally asked about it.

Even Alka himself basically spends his nights in dreams.

Except for asking in other people's dream bubbles when I first came to the island, I never asked specifically about the night situation when I came to the island.

After knowing the danger at night, they never thought about running out at night.

However, Shiraishi didn't pay attention and explained: "I don't know the reason. Anyway, after the ruins are opened, there will be broken space cracks on the island. If you are accidentally pulled in, you may never see it again."

"Some of the dangerous areas before had fixed space cracks. But once night comes, these cracks will pop up everywhere on the island, and you don't know when they will suddenly appear under your feet, or It's behind your butt, you see."

Everyone listening around nodded when they heard this. Looking at it this way, it was indeed very dangerous.

He was accidentally sucked into the space rift. No matter how he thought about it, he would have a narrow escape.

But at this point, Shiraishi's tone suddenly became interesting, and he said with a smile: "You don't believe it, but I tell you, my grandfather survived the rift."

As he spoke, Bai Shi continued to move forward, with everyone following behind him.

While walking, Shiraishi said: "My grandfather is considered a legend on this island. When he was young, he was sucked into the rift due to some accidents and was regarded as a dead person on the island.

But he survived in the end. "

When he said this, there was obvious pride in Shiraishi's tone. He seemed to admire his grandfather very much.

"He said that after he was sucked in, he appeared on an island far, far away. He returned when he was 55 years old. When he came back, his grandmother was dead and I was born at that time. It really became a period. legend."

Hear this.

Pororo asked from the side: "Does that mean those space rifts are actually portals leading to other places?"

"I don't know." Bai Shi shook his head.

"Because the only person who was sucked in is still alive, my grandfather."

Okay, let’s put the curiosity out of my mind.

They didn't think their luck would be so good.

Everyone thought silently.

"Have you ever been outside?" Alka looked at him and asked suddenly.

Baishi, who was walking in front, looked at the situation in front of him and said, "I've been out before. After all, my grandfather has been talking to me about this since I was a child, so I was interested in the outside world very early and went to sea early.

But it wasn’t until I went out on my own that I realized that what I had experienced was different from what my grandfather had said, so I came back after a few years of experience outside. "

"It's better to have your own home."

Shiraishi sighed.

Hearing this, Alka began to recall the outside information he had obtained in his dream last night.

After thinking for a while, he organized his words and asked, "What do you think? What islands have you been to?"

“I’ve been to a signpost island called Southern Cross. I wonder if you know it or have you ever been there. It’s not a big signpost island, but it’s indeed the best island I’ve ever seen.

I also visited two drifting islands. Later, I happened to get close to this place during my voyage and came back. "

Shiraishi gave a simple answer without much in-depth communication.

Based on the information obtained last night.

The so-called signpost island is an island on the sea that will never move due to the environment. It will always be there.

It is like a signpost pointing the direction at a fixed location, so it is called signpost island.

The drifting island is naturally just like its name, it is random and moves, but it is not the island that moves.

"Southern Cross? I haven't been there, but I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Alka answered.

Hearing this, Xia Detti and others had expressionless faces, except Poluoluo who couldn't help turning his head and looked at him.

After realizing that everyone seemed to have no expression, they turned their heads away silently.

He pursed his big mouth and swallowed what he wanted to ask.

Why do these people tell lies without blushing or heartbeat?

"It's normal that I haven't heard of it. After all, that island seems to be quite remote."

No one can tell exactly how wide the Infinite Sea is.

In such sea areas, there are naturally many signpost islands.

Communication about the outside world stopped here.

After a while, Bai Shi stopped and fell onto a huge tree.

After landing, he said to everyone: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go to the front to check the situation and see if I need to go around."

After saying that, he got into the small forest and disappeared.

Alka and others also stopped where they were and waited.

When Pororo saw Shiraishi leaving, he finally couldn't help but ask: "What did he mean just now?"

Several people around also looked at Alka curiously.

They didn't know when Alka had sailed on the boundless sea.

Regarding the information from last night, I only talked to Jason who happened to be by the campfire in the morning.

I haven’t told anyone yet.

"Last night in my dream, I went to visit the bubbles of those merchant marine members, and collected some intelligence from the outside world."

Then Alka briefly explained to them the information he obtained last night.

Everyone nodded clearly, having a certain understanding of the boundless sea.

It wasn't until Shiraishi returned that they began to continue their actions.

…

When the day is covered by the curtain again.

Night is coming.

You can see several figures running fast in the distance.

The hunter on the sentry tower saw this and put the arrow on his bow.

At this time, Alka and the others finally saw the first sentry tower.

"Hoo, ho, ho!" Shiraishi panted, holding his knees with both hands.

The hunters on the sentry tower discovered them and watched Baishi say something in words that no one could understand, as if he was teaching Baishi a lesson.

Shiraishi laughed, said something, and walked slowly toward the town with Alka and the others.

"I finally came back before night came. I almost died of fear." Shiraishi said with lingering fear.

Although Alka and the others knew there was danger, they had not actually experienced why the night was dangerous.

So he didn't show too much fear.

But judging from Shiraishi's appearance, the danger at night seemed to be more exaggerated than they imagined.

Simon asked curiously from behind: "Have you ever stayed outside at night?"

Shiraishi nodded and took a while before answering, with a hint of dullness in his voice.

"Yes, the situation at that time was also slowed down by World of Warcraft just like it is today. Our action team had four people at that time, but in the end only two people went back, and one of them even broke a hand."

Obviously, the only person who didn't suffer much damage was Shiraishi who was still standing in front of them.

There was no need to talk about this topic much, and everyone silently shut their mouths.

I saw Jason, Juanlu and Lucilia at the door. They seemed to be arguing with the guards at the door.

"We are going out, don't you understand what we mean? What? You want to lock us up?"

"Friends, you are not allowed to leave at night, even if you are guests. It is very dangerous outside. This is for your safety."

"you……"

Just when Jason was about to say something more, he saw Alka walking towards them, and a surprised smile appeared on the faces of the others.

He and Lucilia quickly ran over and said, "What's going on? Why did you come back so late? If you had been slower, we might have rushed out."

When night came, Alka and others did not return, which made Jason and the others very worried.

Taking advantage of this time, Jason and the others also learned why it was dangerous outside at night.

They couldn't help but go outside to look for Alka.

Alka just came over and received the blue line bird.

"We encountered an unexpected situation, but luckily, when night came, we had reached the border guard tower."

Alka said and put her hand on Jason's shoulder, telling him not to worry too much.

Then the guard next to the river apologized, and everyone said goodbye to Bai Shi, and took Jason and others back to the rented cabin.

Looking at the delicacies still simmering on the small stove, it was obvious that they were out in a hurry.

Spread out and sit around the campfire.

"Then the goal of the first stage is completed, how about it? Is the record complete?" Alka asked, sitting by the campfire and looking at Xia Dai in front of him.

Xia Detti nodded: "Although there are many dangerous areas that were not perfectly explored today, it does no harm to the overall mapping."

There are many dangerous areas today that cover an area so wide that even if they circle around, they cannot be perfectly detected.

But they wouldn't put them in danger just for such a small area.

Hearing Xia Detti's answer, Alka nodded.

"That's good. After the map is completed, we can start planning the next course of action."

Everyone nodded and had no objection. After all, this was a mature action plan they had agreed upon.

Naturally, Simon and Materissa, who had just joined, would not comment on such behavior, but were studying silently.

Don't know why though.

Then Alka said to Jason: "Please sort out the information you know."

"OK, no problem."
