Mechanical Alchemist

Just when the dawn group fell into the ruins, a large number of treasure hunting groups had already arrived at this sea area following the treasure map.

Probably because all the fish hadn't entered the net yet, these treasure hunters came to the sea ruins all the way very smoothly, happily discovering treasures on various islands.

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

A group of adventurers found a shipwreck in the forest and are digging it up.

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

They just dug a shovel in the soil and found a lot of ancient gold coins. From time to time, various precious gold and silver vessels, ceramics, and precious stones were unearthed.

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

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

"Hahaha Commander, this time we got rich, this Alcatraz Island is really full of treasures! Just found this sunken ship, and our cabin is almost full. I really don't know how many people are left in the depths of this island." Treasures unearthed”

"That's right. Fortunately, the head of the group was well informed and got a hand of the chart. This time we return to Lingdun, and those guys in the trade union will definitely be surprised! Hahaha"

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

"However, it's strange that the sky has changed so suddenly in this sea area, and the sun can't even be seen. And where did this strong spirit of death come from?"

"Isn't it rumored that the sea area near Alcatraz Island is dangerous? I only encountered a few undead monsters, and I didn't see any dangerous sea monsters."

"Who knows, maybe we got lucky? 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".

That's right, this is a treasure hunting group sponsored by Prince Carnap of the Lu Ying Empire. It belongs to the official treasure hunting group and is also a well-known old adventure group in the "Lu Ying Adventurers Federation".

The leader was a burly middle-aged man with a rosaceous nose and a beard. He was Adolph "Red Nose" Miles, the leader of the "Black Panthers".

Listening to the enthusiastic chatting of the team members and looking at the lifeless forest, he always had a bad feeling, so he reminded in a standard Lington accent: "Hey, I said everyone, be careful. 'Beibei' Very uneasy, there seems to be great danger lurking on this island."

"Beibei" is a black leopard with shiny fur. It is a purebred "Langyoute psychic leopard", a rare species in the northern mountainous area of ​​Luying. This kind of monster is a natural psychic body, has a keen sense of crisis, and is the best partner of a beast trainer and many fortune tellers.

Miles said, touching his closest partner.

"Understood, boss!"

"Oh, we have to hurry up, there are still many treasure hunters coming. Before them, we have to find the [Four-Color Elemental Heart] entrusted by Mr. Antonio of the Federation of Trade Unions."

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

"."

The crew members talked while digging.

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

Captain Miles' expression suddenly changed: "Someone is here? How many people?"

The man frowned, and said again: "It seems that there is only one."

"one?"

Miles looked puzzled.

How could there be a lone traveler on Alcatraz Island?

There was a look of solemnity in his eyes, and he said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

At this moment, on the beach west of Alcatraz.

"Kach~"

There was a crackling sound.

Su Lun let go of the fifth-order weirdness that had been crushed by him.

Then panting heavily, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the bone spear that the monster had pierced into his body.

With this pull, a bloody arrow shot out from the wound in an instant.

With a pale face, he took out a potion and poured it out on the wound on his shoulder, white smoke sizzled, and the burning sensation corroded by the undead slowly subsided.

Seeing the killing of this undead monster on the ground, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.

The undead with a name are all very strange, and this one was identified as [Captain Parker of the St. Mary (Gold)]. He was also a famous seventh-rank pirate before his death, and he was also a fifth-rank pirate after his death. After being polluted by the undead, he has even more strange assassination abilities.

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

And this fifth-level gold is weird, and there are still many of 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 were full of solemnity.

This Alcatraz Island is a very large island, and even in the vision shared by the black crows, there is no end in sight.

It is not easy to find the godhead of the 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 he holds back, the more likely Qianjo and the others will succeed.

Unexpectedly, not long after Chijo landed on Alcatraz, [Sea King Drake] discovered something.

The group of undead monsters changed their previous attitude of cats catching mice, and attacked him like crazy.

Fortunately, the big boss was probably attracted by Qianjo, so he didn't chase after him himself. Su Lun's means of saving his own life were not weak, and he tried all kinds of means, so he managed to escape to Alcatraz Island.

But killing several monsters in a row and chasing the fifth-order weirdness also consumed most of his dark spiritual power, which was a bit overwhelming.

But now is obviously not the time to rest, he is going to have a round with the big team.

A cold flame rose from Su Lun's hands, burning the blood and bone spears on the ground together, and disposing of the traces left behind.

He wanted to leave when his breathing subsided.

But at this moment, a group of people appeared in the perception.

In the blink of an eye, a vigorous black panther and several wind wolf beasts rushed out from the dense forest, grinning at him from a distance away.

"Beast tamer?"

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

He had seen too many undead monsters, and suddenly saw some creatures in the underworld, and he was in a good mood.

He didn't even make a move, and glanced at the monsters.

But just staring at it, those monsters seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they all took half a step back. Their ferocious grinning attitude has also subsided a lot, and they are faintly afraid.

In less than two seconds, more than 20 people rushed out from the dense forest.

They were armed with weapons, with strange and shocked expressions on their faces.

The leader with a beard and rosy nose looked at Su Lun really alone, his eyes were full of disbelief, and asked, "Your Excellency is an adventurer?"

"Um."

Su Lun took a look at these people and guessed some information in his heart.

Without the signature smoky black teeth of pirates, well-dressed, he looks like a well-conditioned adventurer.

Maybe someone from Lu Yinglai.

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

"."

Su Lun knew that the other party was testing his details, but he was not interested in talking too much with these people.

He looked at the "Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce's brand" on the necks of three people in the opposing team and knew that they were slaves.

And coincidentally, the trio also showed detailed tattoos of anchors on their arms with their cuffs rolled up.

Su Lun was very familiar with it. It was a sign that Barrett and his adjudication group liked tattoos, so he asked the three of them directly, "Are you three members of the 'Holy adjudication group'?"

Even if the other party was facing each other with swords, he had 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 saw it, but the "judgment group" is now a wanted criminal of Lu Ying's royal family, and covering up is a felony. Because of his old relationship with the adjudication team, he bought a few acquaintances from slave traders through his relationship, which was already a great risk.

Now that it has been discovered, people have to be alerted.

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

Hearing this, the members of the three holy groups obviously had different expressions, expecting, excited, and wanted to ask something.

But because they were cautious, they didn't admit it, and they didn't dare to speak.

Su Lun looked at the guarded looks and postures of these people, and it was all to prevent him, an outsider, from breaking into the forest behind them.

He also guessed that there was a high probability that these people had discovered some treasure and were digging.

Su Lun has no interest in treasures, and he doesn't want to waste any more time here. He kindly reminded: "The treasures of Alcatraz this time are a conspiracy from the beginning to the end. The high priest of the Temple of Agapanon tricked adventurers here , I just want to sacrifice people alive here. This is a 'sea ruins'."

He didn't explain clearly in a few words, and he didn't mean to say more, "Forget it, you can ask for blessings. If you stop me, you will only harm you. Go west and find a river of the underworld. If you can succeed Going upstream is the only chance to get out alive."

Saying that, Su Lun turned and walked towards the forest in another direction without looking back.

[Sea King] If you don't die, no one can get out of the sea market alive.

Even the Dawn Regiment may not be able to get out alive, and a reminder is already enough kindness.

Seeing the stranger in front of him leave like this, the Black Panthers were dumbfounded.

At this time, someone didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked: "Captain, shall we let that guy go like this? What if he is a spy sent by a certain pirate group, the treasure we found?"

"Red Nose" Miles shook his head, not intending to intercept him at all, and said with a complicated expression: "Didn't you realize that that man was very calm from the beginning to the end when facing so many of us?"

After speaking, he looked at the black panther next to him, and added: "Besides, 'Beibei' sensed that that person is extremely dangerous!"

The word "extremely dangerous" is biting hard,

hear this,

The faces of the people around all changed, and the calm demeanor of the young man just now appeared in their minds.

This is a bit of an afterthought.

Moreover, it seemed that the other party had no interest in treasures.

On the contrary, what he said made people think carefully.

Another person asked: "Commander, how credible do you think that person's words are? Is this really 'Haixu'?"

Miles is naturally unwilling to believe it, but he also feels faintly uneasy: "Even if we can't fully believe it. But I'm afraid we are in big trouble."

The amount of information in those few short sentences just now is very large.

Adventurers wandering at sea have never heard of the name "Sea Ruins".

The Agapanon Temple is borrowing treasures, and they are going to be sacrificed to treasure hunters like them?

Although I find it a bit unbelievable, it seems that there is no motive to deceive.

The more you think about it, the more people in the Black Panthers feel a chill run down their spines.

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

"Head, look quickly, what is that!"

Everyone looked at this warning.

In the full attention, the black shadow in the thick fog rushed out, and there were hundreds of dilapidated sea ships.

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

The members of the Black Panthers had never seen such an exaggerated battle before. Seeing this scene, they all turned pale with fright.

Miles' ghost flew up and shouted: "Damn it, retreat to the jungle and get ready to fight!"

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

Now, come!

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

Alcatraz Island is said to be an island, but its area is very large. Su Lun estimates that it is at least tens of kilometers in diameter.

There are indeed many treasures on the island. Su Lun walked all the way through the forest and saw gold and silver utensils in the mud several times. Digging deep, there must be treasures.

These are "sacrifices" accumulated over countless years, and there are even some precious steles and ancient relics dating back to civilization.

The value is immeasurable.

But Su Lun was not in the mood to dig for treasure.

Because at this time, the large army on Qianjo's side had already fought with the undead monsters.

With the blessing of the eight-armed spider lance, he moved very fast in the jungle, and within a short time, he could already hear the sounds of fierce battles.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom".

The sound of gunfire became clearer and clearer.

Su Lun didn't directly participate in the battle. He first released the death bird, overlooking the entire battlefield from the sky.

From this point of view, it was clear that the monsters in the jungle were rushing towards one direction like a tide.

Everyone in the Dawn Regiment has been 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 out from, they are endless monsters.

Fortunately, this is land, and those undead monsters are "dead in the sea", and their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Everyone in the Dawn Regiment also found a favorable terrain for positional warfare, and with powerful modern firearms and sufficient ammunition, they were not wiped out by the regiment.

Seeing the situation, Su Lun naturally couldn't stand by and watch. He held a black scythe, and with a gargoyle behind him, he slashed and teleported all the way.

"Mr. Su Lun is back!"

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

"."

As soon as Su Lun rushed into the position, everyone in the dawn regiment cheered in unison.

Before, he contained the monster alone in the sea, which gave everyone in the Liming group a chance to escape. Seeing him return safely now, everyone naturally cheered.

Su Lun responded to everyone one by one.

After he came in, he realized that the battle seemed fierce, but the casualties of the Dawn regiment were not large.

The people in the camp fought scientifically and efficiently under the command of Barrett, the professional legion leader. The three squads on the front line are fighting alternately, resting, killing monsters, and the wounded can also be treated effectively

Entering now, Su Lun also understood the reason why Barrett chose to fight positional warfare.

Before, because no one harvested souls, it was difficult for everyone in the dawn group to kill the undead monsters. But by name, they also discovered an experience. That is, in such a situation where the number of enemies and the enemy is too large, there is an advantage in not killing them instead of killing them.

The vast majority of monsters are actually not very intelligent, they only have a few simple consciousnesses, namely: surround and kill. Although there are many of them, the only ones who can actually participate in the attack are the few circles of monsters surrounding the core of the circle.

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

After Barrett discovered this, he decisively changed his tactics.

The members of the Dawn Group don't want to kill the monsters now, they just smash the low-level monsters and pile them up outside as "meat shields".

In this way, the monsters behind cannot rush in. In fact, the number of monsters they have to deal with is only one percent or one thousandth.

This greatly reduced the pressure on everyone in the Dawn Regiment.

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

After all, the Dawn Group is not weak now, and the high-level monsters are not in a hurry to come and die.

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

After killing a few more, it stopped a lot.

Chijo can even find time to come and rest.

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

Su Lun shook his head: "A small problem."

Now that they are trapped, the most urgent task is to figure out how to solve the predicament.

Su Lun was very puzzled why [Sea King] suddenly found this place, and asked the fundamental question directly: "Sister Qiantiao, what did you trigger before?"

The two already had a tacit understanding, and Chijo knew what he wanted to ask, and responded: "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 'archaeologists' in the regiment have not deciphered it, and they have attracted monsters."

"Stone monument?"

Hearing this, Su Lun came to his senses. No wonder [Sea King] turned around in a hurry. It turned out that it was because he touched this.

"Um."

Saying that, Chijo took out the inscription rubbed earlier.

When Su Lun saw the distorted ancient characters, he immediately recognized them, and said, "This is the 'Salam language', which is the language of a certain civilization before the Dawn Era. It is at least 100,000 years old."

Hearing this, several archaeologists and polymaths who are proficient in ancient characters were also relieved, and said happily: "Mr. Su Lun knows? Oh, my God, this is great."

Everyone knew that touching the stele attracted monsters, so it must be a very important thing.

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

He didn't need to decipher it 100%, he scanned it once, and he 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 god named 'Ximing Laiwa' ! This Alcatraz Island has the altar of the sea god, or the cemetery. The inscription records that the god beheaded a nine-headed sea monster and resisted the invasion of evil creatures from the underworld."

When everyone listened, they showed expressions of thought.

The inscriptions are full of fairy tales, and it sounds like there are no useful clues.

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

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

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

He didn't do nothing while fleeing all the way just now, but he had memorized the layout of some islands near Alcatraz Island through the vision of Sue Dead Bird.

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

After a while, the local map was drawn.

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

He continued to use the pen to link those islands together.

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

An excellent navigator must be very familiar with the starry sky, which will guide the direction of the ship at night.

Su Lun nodded. He didn't notice it before, but when he read the inscription, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Then he said, "Sister Qiantiao, where did you meet that stele before?"

"here."

Chijo pointed out the location with his finger.

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

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

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

He pointed out several of them, and said, "These three points are the most likely where its godhood is."

Once the pattern was drawn, the Alcatraz Island was so big that they didn't have to look for it blindly.

Those three points are extremely likely.

On the side, Pandora, who was wearing a cloak, did not speak the whole time, but seeing Su Lun use his keen thinking to analyze the results step by step, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Things suddenly turned around, and Qianjo frowned again: "The current situation is that we have been discovered. It is impossible to break through on a large scale. Moreover, it will make that [Sea King] alert and come to surround and kill us personally."

"good."

At this time, Barrett also came over, keenly grasped the key point, and said: "We can fight for a long time in positional warfare. The best plan is Su Lun, you take Miss Pandora and a small number of elites to attack. The target Smaller, less noticeable. We are here, and we can also attract the attention of monsters."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, this was also his plan.

Now it needs to be reversed, and Barrett and the others will be used as bait.

There is no room for much hesitation in the current situation, and he said: "My [Shroud of the Iceman of Oz] can avoid the perception of those monsters, just me and Miss Pandora. There are fewer people, and the action is more convenient. To When you are in this position, if there is a situation, you can support each other."

Go directly to Hard Steel [Sea King], the risk is definitely not small.

Once discovered, crowd tactics are of little use.

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

Almost everything was considered in this plan, and Qianjo Barrett and the others didn't say much, "Alright! Be careful."

"Um."

As Su Lun said, he glanced at Pandora beside him.

Pandora nodded slightly, did not speak, and acquiesced.

Thousands of them rejoined the battlefield.

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

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

Pandora nodded, "Yes."

Su Lun didn't hesitate at all, and stood behind her, sticking to each other in a very intimate posture.

He remembered correctly that this was the first time the two had physical contact. Pandora's body is really special, weak and boneless, with an irresistible extreme softness all over her body. A large piece of skin touches, and the bumpy figure feels real.

After a moment of thought, Su Lun wrapped the two of them together with [Oz Iceman's Shroud] and completely disappeared into the air.
