Chapter 5 The Sirens(1/2)
After the founding of Taoyuan, the first southern expedition was put on the agenda.
The north and south have been divided for thousands of years, and because of the birth of the Miracle, expeditions are no longer a luxury.
At this time, Taoyuan Island relied on the ore, fish products and various seafood produced, and sold well in the Northern Mainland. It has developed the entire commercial network to a huge extent and provided a huge amount of money for Taoyuan.
Because the Holy Fire Cult is dominating people's hearts, it has always been relatively peaceful. The belief in the Holy Fire Cult has been rooted for thousands of years. In addition to being broken by very powerful external forces, the limit of Taoyuan's development in the North is nothing more than that. Although Taoyuan is currently huge, it is also a delusion to try to fight against a sect whose believers are spreading across the mainland by just an emerging force.
Moreover, Yang Zheng had no intention of confrontation, and the doctrines promoted by the Holy Fire Cult still helped to condense human power.
Yang Zheng focused on the Southern Continent, the land where he had left countless memories.
Yu Lei is also full of expectations for returning to the Southern Continent. For him, it is where he grows. No matter how painful the memories he leaves, he hopes to set foot in the Southern Continent again. However, this time, he will appear as a strong man, and no longer the cannon fodder he had ever been dispensable.
The tense expedition is in full swing.
In addition to the Miracle, eighteen giant armored ships will join this expedition, and Taoyuan will create a perfect expedition team.
The significance of this expedition is too great. In addition to rekindling the two continents, it also involves the next grand plan for Taoyuan. Compared with the Northern and Southern continents, the Southern continents are the focus of Yang Zheng, and the chaotic times there are the fertile soil for cultivating Taoyuan.
At present, except for the mysterious and unpredictable sea clan, there is no force that can threaten Taoyuan across the sea. Therefore, Yang Zheng does not have to worry about Taoyuan's defense. He brought the top power of Taoyuan to prepare for the expedition. In addition to the elf prince who even Yang Zheng cannot see through his strength, Yu Lei and his most elite troops in the Crusader. There are also high-end members of the shadow army, and the three top three advanced magicians among the ancient magicians.
Apart from that, Mixueer will certainly not fall behind.
After the ice melted in spring, the long-distance voyage was finally completed. Yang Zheng led the troops onto the journey.
Because of the last expedition to the Magic Islands and the quite complete charts, Yang Zheng's early journey was quite smooth, and the Miracle and the eighteen armored ships kept evenly high-speed.
In the center of the Miracle, an exquisite and complex magic circle stands there.
This is the greatest transformation of Miracle in two years. The magic circle map is the perfect crystallization of space magic, connecting the Miracle and the ruins of the castle. This is also the biggest barrier for Yang Zheng to dare to make an expedition. With this magical passage, Yang Zheng can enter the ruins of the castle from Miracle at any time. Even if he encounters a devastating disaster, he can just escape through this passage.
The ruins also connect the space passage with Taoyuan Island. If necessary, Yang Zheng and the others can even return to Taoyuan Island in a very short time.
This kind of magical civilization can no longer be described simply as magical. It is a miracle greater than the Miracle, representing the highest level of ancient magic.
Although it took countless efforts to create this magic circle, Yang Zheng still felt it was very worth it.
The only disadvantage is that the array map consumes extremely huge energy and the transmission volume is not large at a time, so Yang Zheng does not use this array map easily. This is his secret weapon.
At this time, Yang Zheng was standing on the deck with Mixueer in his arms. Since they were currently on the established route, Yang Zheng was not afraid of accidents.
As the sky was filled with a long and distant whisper.
A black dot was flying at high altitude behind.
The dark spots getting closer and closer gradually showed his huge body in front of everyone, which was a huge flying beast.
The people on the deck avoided entering the cabin door, and only Mixue'er waved her tender little hands like a lotus root and pointed at the back.
The flying beast was so fast that it dived, pierced from a height of 1,000 meters, and rushed into the seabed while rubbing the huge hull of Miracle. The huge splash of water pounced on the deck, and even Miracle shook twice. Not long after, from the other end of Miracle, the flying beast crawled out of the sea again and slapped over Miracle, flapping its wings and floating in the air, then loosened its claws, and two sea fish three meters long were thrown on the deck. Only then could the figure of the giant beast be seen, which was more than ten meters long, with a huge body of nearly twenty meters of wings and a bronze armor-like horny outer body.
The shell was filled with a faint luster. The big head had a strange curved corner, which was slanted backward, making the giant beast's head full of a trembling and tough aura. His mouth was long and a bit like a pterodactyl, but his teeth seemed to be more cold than any sharpest knife, emitting a blue cold light. It must be full of terrifying venom. What shocked the most was the giant beast's eyes. The red one was not as radiant as the eyes of the beast. The luster was faint, just like two gems slightly larger than the fist, emitting a strange light, making people feel that they were indeed full of wisdom like humans.
The pressure generated by such a giant beast is enough to make humans tremble, especially as it hangs above its head, as oppressive as a mountain.
However, the two people in front of him had no such awareness at all. Mixueer waved her little hand and shouted angrily: "Xiao Hei, you are naughty again!"
It turned out that this was a small beast brought out from the ruins for more than two years, and at this time it grew into such a terrible monster.
Xiao Hei sniffed a few times in the air and shook his head. Suddenly, water droplets were still ticking on his body, and they fell on Mixuer and Yang Zheng.
Mixue'er screamed, and a foot-long ice ridge suddenly appeared in her hand, and she shone with light blue.
She shook her hand and smashed it towards Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei also let out a strange cry, and a scream soared into the air. The huge wind that flashed made Yang Zheng's hair sway wildly. Ice edge chased Xiao Hei to a height of 1,000 meters before Xiao Hei's pain came.
Yang Zheng touched Mi Xueer, who was still pouting, and shouted at Yu Lei, who was leaning into the cabin door: "What are you hiding? Why don't you ask someone to get these two fish down?"
Yu Lei touched his head. He waved his hands behind him a few times, and a few sailors emerged from behind. At this time, he shook his body and walked out of the cabin door and looked at the sky again. There, Xiao Hei was still hovering. After a while, he rushed to the clouds and disappeared.
"Good, every time I see this guy, my legs and feet are trembling. I'm so scared that I really don't know what?"
Yu Lei said this, and the sailors behind him were even more unbearable, and their faces turned blue. Obviously they were scared very much.
Yang Zheng said: "This is a natural fear of high-level creatures. Although humans are primates, they suppress this instinctive fear to the minimum, they will still be affected. If they are ordinary creatures, even low-level monsters may be scared to resist."
"You two freaks, father and daughter, are nothing."
"Uncle Xiao Lei, what did you say?" Mixueer raised her head alertly.
Seeing the bad things in her eyes, Yu Lei waved his hand quickly: "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything... I was thinking that the weather is good today, ha...haha..."
"You look fake..."
When Yu Lei smiled bitterly when he heard Mi Xueer suddenly say this old-fashionedly.
As she gets outside, Mixue's natural intelligence has been fully demonstrated. Although she looks like a person who is harmless and cute, she is actually surprisingly precocious. Moreover, Mixue's natural understanding of magic is far beyond ordinary people, Yang Zheng has now gradually understood what Vicky said about "the inheritor of magic".
Mixue'er is gradually moving towards the terrifying magician, and she is only nine years old now.
"Brother Xiao Zheng, as shown in the current chart, you should be able to go to the Magic Islands in another day."
Although the Magic Islands have been destroyed, Yang Zheng and Legolas have set up an outpost here, which is also the farthest place that Taoyuan forces have reached.
Yang Zheng nodded: "When you get there, we will fix it, and we will slow down the next voyage."
The next day, the Magic Islands arrived. At this time, the Magic Islands were as desolate as ever. The land that had been ravaged by the sea tribes still did not grow any grass. The outpost of Taoyuan was set up on the coast. Although it was not the first time that Yu Lei and the others saw the scene in front of them, they still felt sad. Every time they looked at the miserable scene, they deepened their anger and fear towards the sea tribe.
Legolas's eyes were even more gloomy and terrible.
In order not to stimulate the Elf Prince, after a day of repair, the expedition team set out on the voyage again.
That night, Miracle quietly cuts waves on the sea.
Yang Zheng gently pulled his hand out from under Mixuer's neck, helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and walked out of the room with a slight corner.
The sea breeze blows slowly from the deck. At this time, the night sky is like a mirror, the starry sky is brilliant, and the sea surface is sparkling. Such a quiet and beautiful night,
Yang Zheng removed his upper body of lichen and lay on a platform of Miracle.
Close his eyes, he enjoyed this moment the most. He had nothing else around except the quiet sound of waves, and his mental power was spreading everywhere, and he felt like he was wandering in the vast universe... Walking in the infinite and vast space, transcending the boundaries of the body, integrating with the great nature, feeling that all things in the world operate in a constant and wonderful regular manner.
In an instant, you can reach the top of the plateau, either look down at the covered rainforest at the foot of the mountain, or walk to the infinite desert, or dive into the trench that is ten thousand feet deep in the sea.
The operation of mental power is becoming more and more perfect.
Perhaps in the future, we will eventually understand the new realm of mankind and be in line with Scarlett or Barbie.
Suddenly, a burning feeling came from the shoulders.
Yang Zheng pulled out of the spiritual travel and reached out to touch it. The blue tooth mark on his shoulder was emitting a glimmer of light.
He frowned and looked at it. At this time, the sea surface seemed to be still. Under the night, the green coast outlined narrow lines under the night. The sea breeze also gave up the blowing, and the Miracle was entering a still world. Without the power of the sails, the Miracle was slowly slowing down.
Such calmness was like entering another dream, but it reminded Yang Zheng of the weirdness of the last trip.
He gently stroked the teeth marks on his shoulders and jumped off the platform. The Miracle was terrifyingly quiet.
Repeatedly, everyone fell asleep, leaving only Yang Zheng, a living creature.
In the darkness, the faint music is rising and falling.
However, this time, Yang Zheng's eyes were clear, and he could feel that the tooth mark was reminding him something.
Behind Yang Zheng, a black figure slowly emerged, the aura of the underworld emanated, and the bloody eyes were faint, like a demon coming across the Nine Netherworlds.
Yang Zheng raised his right hand and waved it gently. The demon's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he was a little unwilling to hide slowly.
At this time, foreign objects indeed appeared in the sky. They were two white dots flying from the green coast in the distance. When they got closer and closer, they saw their strange faces and white bodies covering their feathers.
Although Yang Zheng did not move much, his body muscles were already in a state of imminent rupture.
When two white shadows fell on the deck, their bodies, which were originally birds, turned into charming bodies. Their perfect appearance was amazed by Yang Zheng.
The two women saw the tooth marks on Yang Zheng’s shoulders and looked at each other.
They raised their hands slowly, and they all had long crystal-like armor on their fingers, but under the night, they looked like crystal swords. A sweet and crisp sound rippled in the night sky.
"Is it useful to find him?"
"Why did my sister choose this human? Although he is very strong, he is probably not the opponent of the Wies barbarian..."
Yang Zheng couldn't help but speak out: "Who are you?"
The two women turned their eyes to Yang Zheng again, and their deep green eyes seemed to absorb the man's soul. Even a man like Yang Zheng, who had strong self-control, felt his blood boiling all over his body, and his lower body reacted faintly. These two witches who looked like humans and inhumans were full of natural charm, which was even more unbearable than the succubus from the abyss.
He looked at it again. One of the witches in the ground with silver hair hanging down to his hips opened his lips and said, "We are the witches in the banshee, I am Kalybdith, she is Skira!"
"Siren Banshee...Siren Banshee..." Yang Zheng chewed it twice gently. Suddenly his mind was shocked and he came back to his senses.
Although I have never seen it, this legendary creature is recorded in ancient books in magic ruins.
Legend has it that there is an island on the distant sea surface. Three Siren sisters singing magic songs live by the cliff. The Seyr sisters on the half-person peninsula sit in a bush of flowers. Singing confusing songs, the sweet songs lead the passing ships to the island, and then hit the reef and ships to destroy. Passing seamen and ships are all confused and go towards destruction, and none of them are spared.
Look at their physical characteristics, as well as the human face and bird bodies when they came, they are indeed the legendary Siren Banshee.
Yang Zheng suddenly felt shocked, thinking of the terrible legend, his hand was already on the handle of the knife, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"What do you want to do?"
He had noticed the strangeness around him. The banshee didn't know what method he used to stop the Miracle and the eighteen armored ships thereafter, and the people on the ship had no respite.
Feeling the violent oppression, the Siren Banshees showed a look of surprise.
"Sister is right, this man is not tempted by "Heart Erosion"." said Skira, with long yellow hair.
