Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 385: First contact

Just when the Dawn Group fell into the sea ruins, a large number of treasure hunting groups had already followed the treasure map and came to this sea area.

Probably because all the fish have not yet been caught in the net, these treasure hunters arrived at Haixu very smoothly and happily unearthed treasures on various islands.

When Su Lun was being chased, he was in the forest south of Alcatraz Island.

A group of adventurers discovered a shipwreck in the forest and are currently excavating it.

The forest has a rainforest climate, which is humid and hot, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of the treasure hunters at all.

They can find a large amount of ancient gold coins by just digging a shovel into the soil. From time to time, various precious gold and silver vessels, ceramics, and gemstones are unearthed.

It can be seen that this is a treasure ship from hundreds of years ago, and it is full of treasures.

The crew was very excited to find such a rich treasure soon after landing on the island.

"Hahaha, Captain, we have made a fortune this time. This Alcatraz Island is really full of treasures! Just by finding this sunken ship, our cabin is almost full. I really don’t know what else is there in the depths of this island. How many undiscovered treasures are there?

"That's right. Fortunately, the leader is well-informed and got a first-hand chart. When we return to Lingdun this time, we will definitely surprise the guys in the union! Hahaha"

"Our 'Black Panther Group' is really going to be prosperous this time. Oh, I will definitely tell my treasure hunting story to my son when I go back. He will be proud of having an adventurer father."

"But it's so strange. The sky in this sea area has changed so suddenly. The sun can't even be seen. Where did this rich necromantic aura come from?"

"Isn't it said that the waters near Alcatraz Island are dangerous? I only encountered a few undead monsters and didn't see any dangerous sea monsters."

"Who knows, maybe we are lucky? As you know, luck is always an integral part of treasure hunters."

""

The full name of this treasure hunting group is "Prince Carnap's 27th Treasure Hunting Group Black Panther Group".

Yes, this is a treasure hunting group sponsored by Prince Carnap of the Luying Empire. It is an official treasure hunting group and is also a well-known old adventure group in the "Luying Adventurer General Union".

The leader is a burly middle-aged man with rosacea and a big beard. He is "Red Nose" Adolph Myers, the leader of the "Black Panther Regiment".

He listened to the lively chatting of the team members and looked at the lifeless forest. He always had a bad feeling, so he reminded him in a standard Lingdun accent: "Hey, I told you guys to be careful.' Beibei' is very uneasy, there seems to be a huge danger lurking on the island."

"Beibei" is a black panther with shiny coat. It is a purebred "Lanyoute psychic leopard", a rare breed in the northern mountains of Luying. This kind of monster is a natural psychic body with a keen sense of crisis. It is the best partner of animal trainers and many diviners.

Miles said, touching his closest companion.

"Got it, boss!"

"Oh, we have to hurry up, there are many treasure hunters coming behind us. We have to find the [Heart of Four Color Elements] that Mr. Antonio of the Federation of Trade Unions commissioned to find before them"

"Hey, we should be the first to arrive at Alcatraz Island. If the treasure is there, no one will find it before us."

""

The crew members were talking as they dug.

But at this moment, a perception professional suddenly said: "There is something in the west that triggers the early warning device I deployed. It seems to be a human being!"

Captain Miles’ expression suddenly changed: “Someone is coming? How many people are there?”

The man frowned and said, "There seems to be only one."

"One?"

Miles looked confused.

How could there be a lone traveler on this Alcatraz Island?

A look of solemnity flashed in his eyes and he said, "Let's go and take a look."

At this moment, on the beach west of Alcatraz Island.

"Click~"

There was a cracking sound.

Su Lun let go of the weird head that he had crushed. Then he gasped and stretched out his hand to pull out the bone spear that the monster had pierced into his body.

With this pull, a **** arrow shot out from the wound.

With a pale face, he took out a potion and poured it on the wound on his shoulder. White smoke came out, and the burning sensation of being corroded by the undead slowly decreased.

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief after killing this undead monster.

This undead spirit has a strange name. It was identified as [Captain Parker of the Saint Mary]. It was very powerful. He was probably a seventh-level pirate when he was alive, and he was also a fifth-level pirate after his death.

This bone spear can pierce his Rune King Kong body, which is amazing.

And there are still many such fifth-level gold weirdness among the hundreds of thousands of undead monsters before.

"It's a lot of trouble"

Su Lun looked at the dense jungle in front of him, his eyes full of solemnity.

Alcatraz Island is a very large island, and even within the sight shared by Black Crow, there is no end in sight.

It is not easy to find the godhead of Neptune.

He originally planned to take [Sea King Drake] and the group of undead creatures for a walk around the sea.

After all, the longer his side is restrained, the greater the chance of success on Senjou's side.

Unexpectedly, not long after Senjo landed on Alcatraz Island, [Sea King Drake] discovered something. The group of undead monsters changed their previous cat-and-mouse attitude and attacked him like crazy.

Fortunately, the large wave of SS was probably attracted by Senjou and did not pursue them personally. Su Lun's own life-saving methods were not weak, and he managed to escape to Alcatraz Island after using all kinds of methods.

But killing hundreds of chasing monsters in a row also consumed most of his dark spiritual power, which was a bit too much to bear.

But now is obviously not the time to rest, he is going to go round with the large army.

Cold flames appeared in Su Lun's hand, burning the blood and bone spears on the ground, leaving no trace behind.

But just as he was about to wait for his breathing to subside before leaving, a team of people appeared in his perception.

In the blink of an eye, a vigorous black panther and several wind wolf monsters burst out from the dense forest, grinning from a distance.

"Animal Tamer?"

Looking at these monsters, Su Lun raised his eyebrows and naturally sensed that there were humans in the jungle.

After seeing too many undead monsters, he suddenly saw some creatures from the underworld. He was in a good mood and didn't do anything. He just glanced at the monsters.

But just at this glance, the monsters all took half a step back, and their fierce grins became much less fierce, and they were faintly afraid.

Within two seconds, more than twenty people rushed out of the dense forest.

They were holding weapons and had strange and shocked expressions.

The leader, a bearded man with rosacea, saw that Su Lun was really alone, his eyes were full of disbelief, and asked: "Your Excellency, you are an adventurer?"

"Yeah."

Su Lun took a look at these people and guessed some information in his heart. There was no pirate's signature smokey black teeth. They looked like adventurers with good conditions, maybe from Lu Ying.

The bearded man asked cautiously: "Which group are you from? Why are you here alone?"

Su Lun knew that the other party was trying to test his own identity, but he was not interested in talking to these people.

He saw that three people in the opposing team had the "brand of the Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce" on their necks and knew they were slaves.

And coincidentally, the arms of these three people with rolled up cuffs also revealed detailed anchor tattoos.

Su Lun was very familiar with it. It was the symbol that Barrett and the Judgment Group liked to tattoo, so he asked the three of them directly: "Are you three members of the 'Holy Judgment Group'?"

Even if the opponent is facing each other with weapons, he has no hostility towards these people, just because of these three people.

Hearing this, the bearded man's expression instantly changed from cautious to alert: "What do you mean?"

He didn't know how the other party figured it out, but the "Judgment Panel" was now a wanted criminal of the Luying Royal Family, and anyone who shielded him would be committing a serious crime. Because he had an old relationship with the Judgment Committee, he bought several acquaintances from slave merchants through his connections. He had already taken a huge risk. Now that he was discovered, people had to be alert.

Seeing that the three people did not mean to be coerced, Su Lun naturally guessed something. He thought for a moment and said directly: "I don't mean anything else. Captain Barrett is my friend. And he is also on the island now."

Hearing what the Grand Duke said, the expressions of the three holy groups were obviously different. They were looking forward to it, excited, and wanted to ask something.

But because they were cautious, they did not admit it and did not dare to speak.

Su Lun looked at the alert expressions and postures of these people, not wanting him, an outsider, to break into the forest behind them. He also guessed that they had probably discovered some treasure and were digging for it. Otherwise, those who came to hunt for treasure would not have the time to intercept anyone.

But he couldn’t explain it clearly for a while, and Su Lun didn’t want to waste any more time here, so he kindly reminded: “This Alcatraz treasure is a conspiracy from beginning to end. The priest tricked the adventurers into coming here just because they wanted to sacrifice people alive here. This is a 'sea ruins'."

"Forget it, just ask for your own blessings. If I stay here, I will only harm you. Go west and find a river of the underworld. If you can successfully swim upstream, you will be the only one to get out alive. Opportunity."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked in the other direction into the forest without looking back.

No one can come out of Haixu alive unless [Sea King] dies.

They, the Dawn Group, may not make it out alive, so just a reminder is enough kindness

Seeing the stranger in front of them leave like this, the Black Panthers were stunned.

At this time, someone did not realize the seriousness of the matter and asked: "Captain, are we going to let that guy go like this? What if he is a spy sent by a certain pirate group?"

"Red Nose" Miles shook his head and said with a very complicated expression: "Didn't you notice that that person was very calm from the beginning to the end when facing so many of us?"

As he spoke, he looked at the black panther next to him and added: "Besides, Beibei sensed that that person was extremely dangerous!"

The word "extremely dangerous" is very important,

Hearing this, the faces of the people around him all changed, and the young man's calm demeanor appeared in his mind.

This is a bit of an afterthought.

Moreover, it seems that the other party is obviously not interested in treasures or anything like that.

On the contrary, what he said made people think deeply and fearfully.

Someone asked again: "Captain, how credible do you think what that person said is? Is this really a 'Hai Ruins'?"

Myers' expression: "Even if I can't completely believe it, I'm afraid we're in big trouble."

The brief sentences just now contain a lot of information.

Adventurers wandering on the sea have never heard of the name "Hai Ruins".

Is the Temple of Agapatheon borrowing treasures to sacrifice treasure hunters like them alive?

Although I find it a bit unbelievable, there seems to be no motive for deception.

The more they thought about it, the more everyone in the Black Panthers felt chills on their spines.

At this moment, they watched some strange shadows slowly appear in the fog on the sea in the distance.

"Captain, look, what is that!"

At this warning, everyone looked over.

While everyone was paying attention, the black shadow in the thick fog rushed out, and it turned out to be a broken ship with thousands of successes and failures.

And there are countless undead monsters densely packed on the ship.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Black Panther Regiment had never seen such an exaggerated battle before, and they all turned pale with fright.

Myers' ghost flew out of his body and shouted: "Damn it, retreat to the jungle and prepare to fight!"

It turns out that Alcatraz Island is not without dangers, but those dangers have not yet found them.

Now, here we come!

At the same time, almost all adventure groups that entered Hai Ruins were attacked by undead monsters

Alcatraz Island is said to be an island, but it is very large. Su Lun estimated that it is at least dozens of kilometers in diameter.

There are indeed many treasures on the island. Su Lun walked through the forest and saw gold and silver vessels in the mud several times. If he dug deeper, there must be treasures.

These are "sacrificial offerings" accumulated over countless years, and there are even some precious stone tablets and antiquities from ancient civilizations.

But Su Lun had no intention of digging for treasure, because at this time, the large troops from Qianjou were already fighting with the undead monsters.

With the blessing of the eight-armed spider spear, he moved very fast in the jungle. Before long, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The guns are getting clearer and clearer.

Su Lun did not directly participate in the battle. He first released the death bird and overlooked the entire battlefield in the sky.

Looking at it, the monsters in the jungle were rushing in one direction like a tide.

Everyone in the Dawn Regiment has been tightly surrounded by undead monsters all over the mountains and plains. This is worse than the situation in the naval battle. No matter which direction they break through, there are endless monsters.

Fortunately, this is land, and those undead monsters are "the dead who died in the sea", so their combat power on land is greatly reduced.

The members of the Dawn Regiment also found a favorable terrain for positional warfare, and with powerful modern firearms and sufficient ammunition, they were not destroyed by the regiment.

Of course Su Lun couldn't just sit back and watch. He held a black scythe and carried a gargoyle behind him, slashing and teleporting all the way

"Mr. Su Lun is back!"

"Wow! It's great, Mr. Sullen is back"

""

As soon as Su Lun rushed into the position, everyone in the Dawn Regiment cheered.

Before, he restrained the monster alone in the sea, which gave everyone in the Dawn Group a chance to escape. Now seeing him return safely, everyone naturally cheered.

The battle looked fierce, but the casualties among the Dawn Regiment were not heavy.

Under the command of Barrett, the professional corps commander, everyone in the camp fought scientifically and efficiently. The three squads on the front line of the position took turns killing monsters, allowing them to rest and kill monsters efficiently, and the wounded were effectively treated.

Because the undead monsters were not resurrected, Su Lun wanted to search out the "gray mist" when he came in, but was stopped by Qian Jiao.

Coming in now, he also understands why.

Before, because no one harvested souls, it was difficult for everyone in the Dawn Group to kill the undead monsters, but as they fought, they also discovered an experience.

That is, in this situation where the difference between the numbers of the enemy and ourselves is too big, there is an advantage in not killing.

The number of monsters is very large. In fact, the only ones that can participate in the attack are the few monsters in the core of the encirclement circle (very few air units).

After the monster's body is smashed, its combat power plummets, but it will still occupy the "output position" in the front row.

The vast majority of monsters are actually not very intelligent. They only have a few simple consciousnesses, namely: surround and kill.

After Barrett discovered this, he decisively changed his tactics.

Everyone in the Dawn Group is not seeking to kill monsters, but just smash those low-level monsters and pile them outside.

In this way, the monsters behind them will not be able to come in. The actual number of monsters they have to deal with is only one percent or one thousandth.

Of course, if the problem is not solved, there will be more and more monsters, and they will be consumed sooner or later

Probably because they were surrounded, the high-level monsters were not in a hurry to die.

After all, the current strength of the Dawn Group is not weak.

Occasionally, a few high-level monsters would come in and be killed immediately by artillery fire, or be beheaded by Senjou and Barrett.

After killing a few more, things calmed down a lot.

Qianjou even found time to come over and rest.

She saw the blood on Su Lun and asked, "Are you injured?"

Su Lun shook his head: "Small problem."

Now that they are trapped, the top priority is to figure out how to solve the dilemma.

Su Lun was confused and asked: "Sister Qiantiao, what did you trigger before?"

Qian Tiao said: "After we landed on the island, we searched for the 'godhead' of the Sea King in the forest. Then we found an ancient stone tablet in Miss Pandora, which seemed to record some ancient secrets. But the 'archaeology' in the group Before scientists could decipher it, they attracted monsters."

After hearing this, Su Lun finally realized. No wonder [Sea King] turned around in a hurry before. It turned out to be because of touching this.

As he spoke, Qianjou took out the inscription that he had printed previously.

As soon as Su Lun saw those twisted ancient characters, he immediately recognized them and said: "This is the 'Salam script', which is a script from a certain civilization before the Dawn Era. It is at least a hundred thousand years old. ”

Hearing this, several archaeologists and polymaths who were proficient in ancient writing were also overjoyed: "Do you know Mr. Su Lun? Oh, my God, that's great."

Everyone knows that touching the monument attracts monsters, which must be a very important thing.

The inscriptions have been deciphered by experts in the regiment, and Su Lun happens to understand some of them.

There is no need to decipher it 100%. He scanned it once and roughly understood the meaning of the inscription. With shock in his eyes, he said: "This sea ruins may really be buried with an ancient sea **** named 'Ximing'." Leiva'! This Alcatraz Island should have an altar to the sea god, or a cemetery. The inscription records that the **** killed a nine-headed sea monster and resisted the invasion of evil creatures from the underworld."

Everyone looked thoughtful as they listened.

The inscriptions are full of fairy tales, which don't sound like any useful clues.

Qianjou completely skipped the thinking process and asked directly: "Su Lun, what did you see?"

"Well. Now that we know this is the purpose of the gods, we can speculate on many things."

Su Lun nodded, picked up the banknotes and drew a map.

It’s not like he didn’t do anything when he fled all the way, but through the sight of the death bird, he had already memorized the layout of some islands near Alcatraz Island.

The others didn't know what he was going to do, but they all watched with bated breath.

Su Lun's super high brain development allowed him to instantly match the map on the drawing to some pictures he had seen before, and then inspiration burst out instantly.

He continued to use his pen to connect the islands.

Although it was only a part, Tani looked at it and suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Su Lun, is this the starry sky map of the 'Poseidon Constellation'?"

A good navigator must be extremely familiar with the stars, the lights that guide ships at night.

Su Lun nodded. He had not noticed it before, but after reading the inscription, an idea suddenly struck him.

Then he said: "Sister Qianjo, where did you encounter that stone tablet before?"

"Here."

Qianjo pointed out the location with his hand.

Su Lun marked it with a pen, and then used that point as a starting point to draw out several geometric patterns in mysticism. When combined with the "Poseidon Constellation", everything seemed to be clear.

"Shinto must have faith, but the "Pirate Emperor" Francis Drake was just a big pirate, and he had no basis for faith. Therefore, faith can only be obtained through some special means. Since it is the tomb of a god, it makes sense. ”

This is some "common sense" that Pandora told him before that only gods can understand. Once all the clues are connected, the situation will be solved immediately.

He pointed out a few more points and said: "These three points are the most likely to be where its godhead is."

Once the map was drawn, Alcatraz Island was so big that they no longer had to blindly search for it. Those three points were extremely likely.

Besides, Pandora, who was wearing a cloak, didn't speak during the whole process, but when she saw Su Lun analyzing the results with his sharp thinking, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Things suddenly took a turn for the better, and Chijou said again: "The current situation is that we have been discovered. It is impossible to break out on a large scale. Moreover, it will also alert the [Sea King] and come to kill him personally. ”

At this time, Barrett also came over and interjected: "We can definitely hold on for a long time. Su Lun, you can bring Miss Pandora and a small number of elites for a sneak attack. The target is small and difficult to detect."

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded, this was also his plan.

Now we need to turn around and use Barrett and the others as bait.

The current situation does not allow for much hesitation, and he added: "My [Oz's Iceman's Shroud] can avoid the perception of those monsters, so just Miss Pandora and I will go. There are fewer people and more action. Convenience. When the time comes, you will be in this position and can support each other if there is an emergency."

The risk of going directly to the hard steel [Neptune] is definitely not small.

Once discovered, the human wave tactic is of little use.

The combination of Su Lun and Pandora, who can fight and run, is the best choice.

This plan took almost everything into consideration, and the people from Senjo Barrett didn't say much, "Okay! Pay attention to safety."

"Yeah."

Su Lun said and glanced at Pandora beside him.

Pandora nodded slightly, said nothing, and acquiesced

Senjou and the others rejoined the battlefield.

No one noticed that Suellen and Pandora stayed in the marching tent.

With no one else around, Su Lun looked at Pandora and said, "I'm offended."

Pandora nodded, "Yeah."

Su Lun did not hesitate at all and stood behind her, leaning against each other in a very intimate posture.

He remembered correctly that this was the first time the two of them had physical contact. Pandora's body is really special, she is soft and boneless, and her whole body has an extreme softness that is irresistible. Large areas of skin are touching each other, and the curves of the body can be felt really clearly.

The slightly different thoughts disappeared in a flash, and Su Lun wrapped the two of them together with [The Iceman of Oz's Shroud] and completely disappeared into the air.
