The Dark Realm is not completely in darkness.
The thick black clouds above would occasionally break through one or two small holes, making the clouds slightly thinner.
Such thinness would allow sunlight from outside to shine in.
However, as we go deeper into the center, such faint light becomes increasingly rare, and it takes a long time to see it once.
Although these lights are weak, they are the only ones in the darkness.
This is also the best time for ships to identify the direction.
Through this dim beam of light that may appear every once in a while, Alka, who was steering the helm, discovered a conspicuous sign.
It was a giant statue standing next to the island.
The height of the statue is at least 20 meters. In the dim light, you can vaguely see a warrior holding a sharp blade and slashing downward.
"Fight the statue, we are almost at our destination."
Xadaiti, who was standing next to Alka and teaching him how to control the boat, also saw the statue and said.
Then he directed Alka: "Turn left, and move forward for half a day, you should be able to reach the area circled on the map."
Hearing this, Alka nodded and followed the instructions, circling the rudder.
The hole in the broken cloud disappeared, and it fell into darkness again.
…
"We're here, it should be within this range."
As they were about to reach their destination, everyone came to the deck one after another.
Nothing could be seen on the dark sea.
At this time, the clouds in the sky broke open a small hole again, allowing everyone to see a small island not far from them.
Alka used a mirror to gather the beam of light and shone it towards the island.
"There is no suitable location. Let's go around and take a look." Andre looked at the island in front of him and found no suitable anchorage, so he gave instructions.
After going around, he saw a suitable landing place.
"This should be the port in the past."
As he spoke, the boat slowly sailed in, and Andre turned his head to look at everyone.
"This island is the one with the map. The situation on it has been explored and it is not very dangerous."
After saying that, Andre thought for a while and said again: "Alka, Jason, Gami, the three of you form a team and explore this island first."
"The rest of you will go with me to the other two islands that have not been explored yet. Let Sofia record them first."
No one had any objection to Andre's team.
Andre also stuffed the map of the island into Alka's arms. The meaning was already very clear. This temporary team was headed by Alka.
Alka stood by the boat and used a searchlight constructed of a mirror to simply check the situation on the island.
The edge of the island was full of lush plants, which was quite different from those islands outside, but some fluorescent plants could be seen in the darkness.
The long-term darkness and the elements that permeated it had already changed the ecology of these plants.
Maybe a lot of interesting magic materials could be found.
In addition, some rubble that was obviously from the collapse of man-made buildings could be seen buried in it.
Many of them had been buried by soil and plants, and these things had long been integrated with the environment on the island.
After a simple look and making sure there was no big problem, Alka turned around and nodded to the two people behind him.
The three jumped off the boat directly.
Well, Gami glided down on a vehicle.
Then Alka turned around and waved to the people on the boat.
Andre nodded on the boat.
"Be careful and don't let your guard down."
Then the boat was under control, left the island, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Only a few light spots could be seen going away.
Jason and Jamie each took out a lighting stone to illuminate the environment around them, while Alka used a mirror to reflect the light and illuminate the way forward for them.
Since it was dark all around, the three of them stayed close together and kept an eye on different directions.
Several people moved forward slowly together, alerting each other to the dangers around them.
At this time, Jason's voice sounded: "Sometimes I wonder why there is no spell that allows us to see the surroundings clearly in the dark."
"Why not, don't you read a book?" Alka asked back.
Gami said directly: "There is such a spell, but neither the church nor other people have recorded the style of this spell. Maybe it has been lost or someone knows it."
"Okay, okay." Jason said helplessly, raising the searchlight in his hand and shaking it around to see if there is anything strange.
As they moved forward, they had come to a place similar to an abandoned town.
These buildings are almost all well preserved, with only some collapses and damages, but their original appearance can still be seen.
But now the outside of these buildings is covered with various plants.
"When the treasure exploded, the people here may not know what happened, and they died here in a daze."
Jason looked at a skeleton lying at the door of a collapsed building not far away, and said with some sighs.
This place is not far from the core of the explosion, but it is just within the range that can be affected and die.
Looking at the skeleton, Jason was ready to go over and check to see if he could collect any useful information.
Alka grabbed him immediately.
"Wait, don't go there casually."
Hearing this, both of them turned their heads and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Alka pointed to the location of the skeleton: "Look carefully, there's something wrong with where the skeleton is lying."
As he spoke, he controlled the light to shake around the skeleton.
"Although there are many plants covering the skeleton's body, look at its bottom. It doesn't look like it's lying there for hundreds of years."
The two looked carefully.
There were some roots, stems, branches and leaves of plants where the skeleton fell, which didn't look like they were pressed down by the skeleton to avoid growing.
It was obviously a situation that would occur if it was pressed down.
However, it is difficult to find such a problem if you are not careful because it is covered by bones and darkness.
Looking at this situation, Jason couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said nervously: "Could it be that this corpse is alive? It can move like a ghost."
"It is very likely."
Jami stared at Jason and asked strangely: "Why are you so nervous? Haven't you seen a ghost?"
Jason shook his head.
He has only joined the treasure hunting team for two years, and he has been running around for the treasure house during this time.
Not to mention that he was just an ordinary person not long ago.
The dead are more like the images in stories and picture books to him. This may be the first time that a real living one appears in front of him.
"Arka, aren't you nervous?" Jason couldn't help but turned around and asked, after all, he felt that Arka should be the same as him.
Even Alka had just officially entered the extraordinary world not long ago and began to know some secrets about this world.
Alka shook his head: "It's okay."
After all, he had some experience.
After saying that, Alka reached out and pulled the locker out from his thigh.
He took out the magazine to check to make sure the bullets were placed inside.
Then he pulled out the pistol from his armpit and popped out the magazine to check the bullets inside.
The bullets in the pistol were obviously different from the ordinary bullets before.
The bullets were engraved with simple patterns, indicating that the bullets had special effects.
Jason also did the same action.
He also took out a pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover, moved the pointer on the dial with his hand, and then closed the cover.
This pocket watch was the magic equipment he had obtained before.
Alka had borrowed it to play with. Simply put, it was something that could increase the user's acuity in a short period of time.
But there was a prerequisite. Before using it, you had to spend magic to move the pointer inside.
Close the cover, and then input magic to rotate the pointer inside to provide gain.
Now Jason just closed the cover, and when he wanted to use it, he would infuse magic into it to make the pointer start to rotate.
Jami drove his own strange vehicle, standing in place, with two rifle-like rock barrels extending from the left and right.
Four tentacles popped out by the way to provide long-range support for the two.
The two slowly walked towards the corpse.
The mirror used for lighting began to adjust the angle, spreading the light around, illuminating a large area.
When the two approached the corpse within 10 meters.
"Crack."
With a sound, the corpse twitched.
A faint green light appeared in the hollow skull. He slowly climbed up from the ground and pulled out a rotten long knife from the place behind him.
Opened his jaw and wanted to roar silently.
His jaw fell directly to the ground, making a sound of Kaba.
…
For a moment, the air became a little quiet.
Alka raised the locker in his hand, and the magic power was infused into the gun from his hand.
A large number of magic patterns emerged on the handle and the bronze-covered decoration behind it.
The trigger was pulled.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, the marbles gathered and fired out.
The gathered marbles were wrapped with a faint white flame, like a fireball.
It directly hit the skull of the skeleton in front of it, and bones flew everywhere in an instant.
The green light flashing in the skull was directly wiped out by the marble.
The remaining bones fell down weakly, and scattered directly into bones on the ground, forming a pile.
"That's it?"
Jason, who was a little nervous at first, looked at the skeleton that fell down with one blow, and was a little confused.
Then he curled his lips in disdain, which was somewhat a waste of his nervous and excited mood.
Jami walked over and said, "It was just an ordinary skeleton, and the bullet he just fired was attached with holy flames. This kind of skeleton was of course easily destroyed."
Jason squatted down, moved the piled bones, and looked at the rotten long knife that also fell next to it.
Knocked it with his pistol.
"What's the use of this knife? It's more like smashing than chopping people."
The three of them also began to look around.
In addition to this skeleton, there are many corpses around, but these corpses are obviously much more normal.
The corpses have long been covered with mud and become dirty, covered with various plants that have grown with them.
These corpses are completely integrated with the earth.
