Chapter 69： Landing

Sitting in the boat, Ethan simply sorted out his equipment.

At this time, he was fully armed, and the light armor Chaxi gave him was worn on his body, the wristband from Ishandra and the ring from Zul, the iron rod from the dark world, and the inheritance made by Merlin. The books are all in familiar locations.

The long sword was held in his arms and hung on his waist when he landed.

In addition, Ethan's right belt is also hung with a Beretta, as well as a backpack of ammunition, emergency medicine and other items. On the side of the backpack, there is also a hand of Remington, commonly known as a spray.

It is really armed to the teeth. If the full set of equipment is fully fired, Ethan feels that no one can threaten him in the calm sea.

Only this time, he felt a little unsure, because this time he was going to board an island full of unknowns. In many cases, the most terrifying thing was the unknown.

He has no idea what kind of danger he will encounter, what kind of enemy he will encounter? Or some difficulties that cannot be solved by force.

Apart from being more cautious and making more careful preparations, Ethan has no good way.

Speaking of preparation... After seeing several women headed by Helena, Ethan opened a secret compartment behind the boat, and then took out a lot of weapons, and once again raised his evaluation of this woman.

Before, she was in a posture of not carrying weapons, as if they really did not take any precautions, but looking at the current situation, we can know that no one who can be famous in this sea is a naive idiot.

These women can rise in the wind and water of the calm sea, and they also own a big ship with powerful firepower. They are certainly not fools who don’t know anything. They should have a lot of vigilance at all, and enough of them are hidden on the small boat. Weapons.

Whether it's Ethan's sudden troubles or other dangers, they can deal with them in a timely manner, so that they won't be swept away by the other party unarmed.

With a bang, the boat hit the shore directly.

The structure of this island is rather peculiar. The sea around the island is very deep, not to mention small boats, even if a big boat comes over, it can be docked directly next to the island, and there is no need to worry about running aground.

Helena jumped to the shore as soon as the boat drew on the shore, followed by the two women who had boarded the Aurora together, and Ethan was the last person to disembark.

"You go straight back, don't stay here."

When they got off the boat, Helena directly ordered the two women to leave. It can be seen from this point that she also noticed the anomaly of this island.

"But... if the captain comes back suddenly..."

The meaning of the two women is very clear. If there is an emergency, when a few people fled to the beach and want to leave the island, what if there is no boat?

"If that happens, this boat won't let us leave quickly. It's no different from swimming and running away." Helena waved her hand and insisted on her order: "So you return to the boat and pay attention to the situation on the beach. Just be ready to respond at any time."

Ethan has the same idea. It is definitely a bad choice to dock the boat on the shore. The ghost knows that there will be unknowable changes. If they encounter an emergency and they run out and find that the boat is still there, but it has become dilapidated and unusable, it’s better. Let people stay at a safe distance and be ready to pick themselves up at any time.

It is based on this consideration that he did not let Arthur go with him and let him guard the Aurora.

Stepping on the island, Ethan did not rush into the interior, but stood quietly on the shore and felt it for a while.

"This kind of cold and dead energy fluctuation is more obvious. Every inch of this island seems to be filled with this energy."

If it was before, he would not even approach here, just turn around and leave.

The pollution of magic energy to the spiritual power of the mage is not simply a passive side effect that occurs when the mage absorbs energy. Some extreme energy will actively ‘contaminate’ the spirit of the creature.

Ethan’s previous mental power was not sufficient in terms of quantity or strength. In this environment for a long time, it is difficult to avoid being polluted by this extremely negative energy.

is also fortunate to have practiced on the Paradise Island for half a year before, allowing his spiritual power to successfully condense. Although the increase in quantity is not large, the quality is much better than before, especially the defensive ability has been greatly improved, and it is no longer helpless to fight against the invasion of external energy.

carefully contracted his mental power to prevent the energy from corroding, and then Ethan began to test the impact of this energy on the living body itself.

The method is not complicated, Ethan just scratched his finger, then dripped a drop of blood on the dark ground, and then used mental power to make nuanced observations.

It did not take two seconds before and after, but the conclusions reached are not optimistic.

"This island is full of death breath, this energy has great harm to living things, even dead things will be affected. We can't stay on this island for too long."

His previous actions have long attracted the attention of Helena and the two women. After seeing this young man working madly for a while, he said such a passage, the two men are a little bit dubious.

Only Helena stared at Ethan's eyes seriously, and after seeing him staring at herself without fear, she chose to believe his words.

"We go straight to the center of the island, and come back immediately regardless of whether there is something we want."

This is the most reliable plan at this stage, although the magic stone does not necessarily exist in the center of the island. It’s just that such a large-scale release of energy fluctuations, which should spread evenly to every inch of the island, may be the largest in the center—whether it is Helena or Ethan, it is affected by the fact that this island will have such a situation. The influence of magic stone.

"By the way, the two of you can introduce yourself before you leave, otherwise you don't know what to call it when something happens."

The two women nodded and said their names separately.

is slightly shorter, but very strong is called Marta; the other is as tall as Helena, but with wider shoulders, and a longer man called Eliza.

Looking at the figures of the two people, you know that they are experts in combat. In comparison, Helena is a strong figure, but the lines are not cold and hard, and there is no such angular muscle lines, especially the appearance is softer besides sharp eyes. .

The three women all wore weapons and some leather armor. When Ethan wore light metal armor, she also attracted the attention of several women. Few in the ocean wear metal armor, because once they fall into the water, they would be protected. Your equipment is likely to be a murder weapon that will kill you.

Therefore, most adventurers in the calm sea do not wear armor, and even leather armor is rarely equipped, and they are basically ordinary clothes such as cloth clothes and shirts.

It looks like these leather armors on Helena. I know at first glance that they have not been used several times. They should be the inventory at the bottom of the warehouse just in case.

As for the weapon, Helena uses a pair of double knives, which are inserted on both sides of her waist. Mata and Ilia use the same two-handed sword.

In addition, several women also carried packages, which should contain some food, drinking water and emergency supplies. The difference from Ethan’s bag was that there were no firearms and ammunition. This is standard equipment for adventurers, nothing special.

headed towards the depths of the island, because they didn’t know what dangers would be encountered, Ethan and others were not advancing fast. However, I was worried that I could not stay in this place for too long, and I could not delay the speed of advancement because of caution, so a few people worked in a division of labor, each of whom focused on one direction, and then moved forward as fast as possible.

Ethan and Helena walked in front, one of them focused on the left and front left, and the other paid attention to the right and front right. Marta and Eliza were responsible for the safety of the rear. After walking for an hour, no one encountered any danger.

"Maybe this island has too strong negative energy, so as long as you are careful to be corroded by this force, there is no danger?"

The weird environment made Ethan dare not take it lightly, but he still had to think about it in a good direction. UU reading www. They would relax a lot in this way, but he soon realized that it was wrong.

"Where did the group of people... go?"

In a word, not only reminded myself, but also reminded Helena a few people.

Like Ethan before, they felt that they might be a little too nervous, this island is obviously safe!

But Ethan's words made them suddenly alert. Where did the group of people go before? This group of people are reckless, it is impossible to carefully clean up the traces of themselves and others, right?

"You guys...have anyone noticed traces of footprints just now?"

Everyone looked down at their feet. The dark soil on the island was not hard, and even a little soft when stepped on it, so it was inevitable that a row of footprints were left along the way.

Looking back, their footprints are still very clear, but only those of themselves and others are the biggest abnormality.

"The route we came in before should be not much different from those people..." Helena recalled the forward route of herself and others. Even if they were a little bit different from the group of people along the way, they didn't miss a trace. Unless the group of people went directly to the other side of the island instead of going to the center.

It’s impossible to think about it. It’s the consensus of almost all adventurers to preferentially choose the center of the island. It is excluded from the inside out. In addition to some unfounded speculations, this search method is also because the island does not know when it will sink. , Searching from the inside out is also conducive to evacuation.

"Anyway... be careful..."

Everyone once again raised it carefully and moved forward slowly. All the way to the center of the island smoothly.

Looking at the cave in front of him that exudes a more intense breath of death, everyone shivered uncontrollably.
