Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

This is a forest of unknown trees.

Three huge trees are close to each other and entwined with each other. They looked like a pair of triplets that were not separated and put together after birth.

Three trees form a single-family villa that looks exceptionally beautiful.

Very obvious traces of manual intervention can be seen. The huge sunken tree roots entwine into the entrance door.

Huge branches stretch out to form the balcony of the villa, and the internal windows can be seen between the green branches and leaves.

There are also vines wrapped around it, and the flowers and fruits hanging on the vines shimmer slightly. This seems to be where the lighting at night comes from.

The entire forest is full of similar villas, but the three trees in front of it are obviously the best and largest among them.

Obviously, the behavior of these three trees blending together is not the result of intervention, but a special sequence.

“Dear guests, this is your resting place, the Seat of Three Trees.

This is the best area to live in Verdant Fortress, hope you have a good night. "

He said and led everyone in.

After passing through the gate made of tree roots, they entered. The tree roots moved slowly and turned into the door of the main door.

In this area, two or three guards can be seen patrolling around.

Compared to the entire huge forest area, these two or three guards seemed a bit perfunctory.

But just think about what time it is now, having just experienced a dangerous defensive battle. You can understand why there are only so few.

The whole twisted and intertwined single-family villa has two floors.

There are various large and small rooms.

It also made everyone who lived in this kind of house for the first time feel unusually novel.

After all, this is a house with three trees fused together, and these three trees are still growing together perfectly.

Julia could clearly feel that the tree was very healthy.

Because it was used for living, even the moths were not taken care of very well.

"If anything happens, you can ask the guards outside for help."

The girl who was about to leave said to everyone.

Everyone nodded.

Watch the girl say goodbye and leave.

After she left, Alka stepped on the floor made of wooden piles under her feet.

"Huh... It's still comfortable to walk on land."

This swamp made Alka somewhat uncomfortable, but it was not because of any strange power at work.

It just simply doesn't feel good to his senses.

Because this swamp is not as endless as the sea, you can take a boat and sail around. It is not as thick as land and gives people enough sense of security.

Under the sea there is a layer of footholds made of various plants, vines and rocks, like a swamp.

This feeling of neither going up nor down made Alka very uncomfortable, and the swamp was as wide as the sea.

It’s even more uncomfortable.

Facing Alka's sigh, everyone except the three marine races nodded in unison.

For the three marine races of Poluoluo, whether it is the sea or the ocean, they are much more comfortable than the land on the island.

This is the difference made by race.

But after having a safer place to stay.

Lucilia took her puppet army and began to select a suitable room.

"Zero, let everyone have a good rest, Wu and the others will check and fix everyone's problems."

The previous battle was not without losses for the doll girl.

Although there is no reduction in personnel, some damage is inevitable.

Simple repairs required.

They can now complete this kind of simple maintenance very well by themselves, without Alka and the others having to worry about it.

Fortunately, this single-family villa has enough space.

After watching the chirping doll girls gathered together, they chose a room.

The crystal dragon's dissatisfied roar came from outside a window on the second floor.

Hearing this voice, everyone seemed a little helpless, and Jason had no choice but to go upstairs immediately and comfort him by the window.

If you are outside, you can see the Crystal Dragon standing on a thick branch and roaring dissatisfied.

Next to it is a window leading to the interior.

It can be seen from the size of the Crystal Dragon at this time that the interior of a building like this is no longer suitable for her to enter.

Fortunately, this building is made of three huge trees intertwined, with a comfortable place composed of branches above, suitable for the crystal dragon to rest.

But for Crystal Dragon, this is still not a good choice.

Don't say it's here.

Even on the ship, Crystal Dragon already has many places that are inaccessible, including the cabin, forecastle and stern.

She is generally restricted to the deck.

Her resting place has also been moved to the deck, and most of the time her body occupies a corner of the deck.

But this is a problem that she must face as she grows older and increases in size.

Everyone was sitting around the hall, chatting, recovering their strength and resting.

Enjoying the tranquility.

"Have you seen the gray-black aura coming from the border between life and death before?" Xia Daiti asked, leaning on a wicker chair made of rattan.

Hearing this question, Alka nodded.

"The monster attacking on the border between life and death has not completely retreated, right?"

Hearing this, Simon nodded.

Said: "Yes, when I just left, I found that the soldiers were still preparing. They just cheered briefly, and there was no roar of victory."

"It's okay, this will allow us to gain their trust and hone our attack methods, so why not do it.

But remember to protect your own safety. We only need to attack from a safe distance.

After all, we are only here to help, not to die. "

After hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded without any rebuttal.

Because it is.

At this time, providing help in this time of war is indeed the easiest way to gain trust.

This is also the main purpose of their coming here at a certain risk.

When they search for treasures here, they have to get help from the locals.

Helping in times of crisis is the easiest way to gain trust and respect.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen any building like a church. Is there no church or anything like that?" Juanlu asked a little strangely.

They just walked all the way and didn't see it. Church, but I did see some clergy.

Including the girl who led them here, and also the powerful old woman.

Judging from their attire, they should be clergy.

"I don't know, I'll find out later of course."

Pororo said indifferently.

After chatting for a while, Alka clapped his hands and looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's all take a rest. After walking for such a long time, it's time to have a good sleep."

After taking appropriate precautions and inspections, everyone chose a room to rest.

Even so, the entire building still has several empty rooms for rest, which shows how big this tree villa is.

…

About a week passed.

With the help of the personnel who were added later, as well as Alka and the others.

The island was finally defended safely, and there was not much loss of life in the subsequent battle.

The gray-black atmosphere at the end of the field of vision not far away from them also began to dissipate, which showed that this time the enemy's attack was a complete failure.

It also indicates that there will be no new waves of attacks, and the next war will have to wait until a few years later.

In the past few years, they have finally been able to live in peace a little bit.

The formation and feet of the enemy retreated, as well as the aura that began to dissipate.

The soldiers who had been fighting for a long time finally cheered loudly.

Declare the victory of this war.

The land in front of the original island and the debris composed of plants and undead bodies floating on the swamp further ahead began to be cleared away.

There are also blood clots hanging on the vine walls.

Fortunately, although these enemies are all undead, they have interacted with plants that represent life after all.

Even the corpses no longer had the rotten stench of the past.

Instead, there is a medicinal or fragrant smell brought by the broken branches and leaves of some plants.

These residues will be the best nutrients for the plants in the fortress and the walls made of vines.

They returned to the Seat of Three Trees, cleaned up the dirt on their bodies, and rested in the hall.

After a week, they became familiar with most of the people on the island.

He also successfully gained the trust of the people on this island, not just this island, but also the official forces of the Land of Souls.

They have all gained trust, as long as they do not violate other people's rules.

For a whole week of war, help is not something that comes lightly.

Without their help, although the island is unlikely to be completely captured in this week, the losses caused must be unacceptable under the current circumstances.

It also gave Alka and the others a clear understanding of this ghost place.

"So what do we do next?"

Xia Detti, who was sitting on a wicker chair, looked at Alka and asked.

Alka was sitting at a small wooden table. On the table was a rough map of the entire Zehai.

Look at the relatively safe area where they are now.

【Land of All Spirits】

[Quantity of treasures: white - a large amount, blue - a large amount, orange - a trace amount. 】

[Region Difficulty: Crazy]

[Region introduction: Battle of the Six Gods, Brilliant Fragrance—the place where Martilia fell.

The deity is not completely dead and the Virgin is resuscitating her. The difficulty of the Holy Mother Church members area will be reduced to normal. 】

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the number of treasures. There are no gold ones. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that there is an orange treasure.

A [scepter]-level treasure.

But the problem is nothing else, but that the map in their hands is a little awkward.

The map in their hands is not a regional map, but a world map specification.

The world map is composed of several areas and displays general information about an entire sea area.

Although the regional map gives the least information, it is very useful for them in certain situations.

He will directly display the buried treasure on the map with light spots. Although there will be no information, the location of the light spot is the best information.

Alka and the others only need to find a suitable place and draw a detailed map to accurately know the treasures represented by those light spots and more detailed information.

Due to the special structure of Zehai.

They had to think about the orange treasure they were looking for. Is there a certain possibility that it is not on the island, but in this swamp area with intertwined plants and vines?

If they were just on the island, their workload would actually be very simple.

All you need to do is reach every island in the Land of Souls and draw a detailed map.

If it's not on an island, it's a problem.

They need to draw a detailed regional map, so they must have a broad but rough understanding of the entire Land of Souls.

Only the map drawn in this way can be recognized and then used.

Looking at the map in his hand.

Alka suddenly thought of something and slapped himself on the forehead.

He raised his head and looked at Simon who was tinkering with something.

"Simon, among the exploration materials you were looking for before, did you say that the Land of All Souls is the most detailed map on the map?

Every area and island is certain and nothing is missing? "

Hearing this, Simon put down the equipment in his hand, lifted up the goggle frame on his glasses, turned his head and nodded.

"If I remember correctly, that's what it said."

Hearing this, Alka pondered, and then came to Xia Detti's side with a map.

"Are you sure that the Land of All Souls area can be made into a separate map? Zoom in a little, especially those islands."

Xia Detti looked at the detailed drawing on the map, nodded but still said: "No problem, it can definitely be separated.

But I must explain in advance, after all, I did not detect it myself.

The map drawn may not completely correspond to reality, it depends on whether the drawing on the map is correct. "

Alka nodded: "No problem, you can draw it. If it is really useless, then we will measure it ourselves."

"OK."

For an orange [scepter] level treasure.

This little bit of work is totally worth it.

Xia Detti began to enlarge the painting based on existing maps.

Alkadu was waiting nearby.

Until the sky is covered with stars and the curtain of night.

Xia Daiti handed the map she drew to Alka.

This speed is much faster than before. After all, it is not difficult to simply copy and enlarge.

Alka looked at the enlarged detailed map in his hand, blinked, and began to examine it carefully.

In Alka's slightly nervous mood, light spots began to appear on the map.

The moment light spots began to appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that the map is usable.

Points of light began to appear all over the map, scattered everywhere. Not only on the island, there are also many light spots scattered in the swamp area made of intertwined vines.

It's just that there are more light spots distributed on the island.

Until that dazzling orange beam of light appeared.

This orange beam of light was just like the worst case scenario Alka thought, and it really didn't appear on the island.

Instead, it appeared in an area outside the island.

Follow the markings on this map.

The largest island in the entire Land of Souls is the island in the center of the map, and it is also the main gathering place.

And this orange light beam is far away from the island.

Compared to the junction area where they are now, it can be said that they are on the other side of the map of this area.

They were almost on both sides of this area, and it would take them quite a while to reach them.

Alka looked at the area where they were now and the blue and white spots of light scattered around it.

And there are quite a few, and they are very close to here.

After thinking about it, Alka stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the area where they were.

After making the decision, I went back to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone gathered in the hall and ate breakfast quietly.

Alka said.

"Xia Detti, today we will walk around the island and its surrounding areas to explore. It would be best if we could draw a detailed map."

Hearing this, Xia Daiti nodded, and everyone was convinced that Alka seemed to have a certain goal.

"The rest of you can stay here. You can also go outside to collect some intelligence. The more the better."

After eating, Alka, Shadetti, Pororo and Lucilia formed a group and began to wander naturally on the island.

"Is this their planting land?"

Xia Detti said when they passed by a garden.

The flowers grown in this garden are all very large, and there are white fruits one after another in the stamens.

This white fruit is very familiar, it is what they often eat during this time.

Flower fruit, a kind of fruit produced from flowers.

And because of the different flowers, the fruits produced will have different tastes and nutritional values.

There are even things like spiced fruits.

It can almost be called a versatile food plant.

This plant is almost the main food source on the island, and the other main food source is fish.

But in Juanlu's words, this kind of flower that bears flowers and fruits may only be able to grow in this area.

Because this thing doesn't look like a natural plant, it seems like it was artificially intervened or constructed by some means.

It should be a certain gift brought by the god who is about to revive in this area to the people of her faith.

Because just one plant almost wiped out most of the plants.

Moreover, the flowers planted are dense and lush, and each flower can produce many. Even after planting and picking, the plants will not wither but will continue to bear fruit.

This means that the residents on the island are not too short of food, let alone a supplement of fish.

And they did not see any building similar to a church on the island.

Because the official power of the entire region is the church, the so-called religious power of the Flower Fairy.

And there's another important factor to consider.

A powerful god from tens of thousands of years ago is buried in this area.

Don't worry too much about anything strange.
