Path of light

Chapter 178 179. Nightmare Vine

Roy stood on the sea reef. A faint black mist floated from the depths of the sea reef with the sea breeze. There were foul-smelling corpses of water ghosts everywhere under his feet.

He tried to take two steps forward. A strong mental power hit his brain. Roy felt a strong dizziness. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, the sacred seedlings in his body once again exuded a faint light. The holy light and mental impact were like hitting a huge sponge, and were quickly absorbed by the sacred seedlings.

And Roy felt that the mental power rushing into his body suddenly disappeared, like a roaring train passing by the tip of his nose.

He was obviously sweating profusely, but he was unscathed. Even the sweat beads on the tip of his nose fell on the rocks...

He knew that the front must be full of danger.

At this time, Xiu also climbed out of the sea, his body covered with scales dripping with sea water.

A large number of water ghosts appeared in the surrounding sea and approached the location where the two of them were.

Roy turned his head, only to find that dozens of Naga warriors holding tridents emerged from the sea one after another. The Naga warriors rushing in front used their tridents to stick the water ghosts on the sea rocks, and the Naga warriors holding tridents behind them The Naga warriors with swords quickly chopped off the heads of these evil spirits.

With their strong bodies, they stood on the edge of the island.

As long as a water ghost tries to climb onto the island, he will immediately be chopped down in the sea by the Naga Sea Tribe warriors.

It seems that the enemies of these Naga warriors are also water ghosts... Thinking of this, Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

These sea rocks are not that flat. Roy is wearing leather boots and his feet are still very stiff when he walks.

Xiu pointed to Roy...the water ghosts that kept appearing from the sea, and then pointed to the depths of the reef island, gesturing to Roy to go inside.

Roy stepped on the extremely uneven rocks and asked Xiu: "You brought me here...how can I help you?"

Xiu pointed to the depths of the sea reef.

Seeing Xiu's sincere eyes, Roy could only turn around and walk inside.

This is a piece of sea reef that only emerges from the sea when the tide is low.

There are also some kelp and algae on the reef, covered with oysters, and some conches can be seen in the crevices of the rocks.

In the dark night, everything was wet.

The black mist shrouded the sea rocks, filled with a strange feeling. Just a little bit of inhalation made Roy's head feel dizzy.

After walking more than ten meters inside, Roy finally saw a Naga warrior lying on the rocks...

He was lying on the rock, holding a raised part of the rock with both hands. His face was rubbed against the sharp rock as sharp as a knife, and it had become bloody!

It looked... like having a sweet dream.

But... the process wasn't so pretty.

These sea rocks are covered with oysters, and they are as sharp as knives wherever they are...

The Naga Sea Tribe was lying halfway on the road. Roy walked over quickly and poured a glass of water containing a touch of holy light into the face of the Naga Sea Tribe warrior. Suddenly, a scream came...

Xiu quickly squatted down and communicated a few words in Naga language to the Naga Sea warrior who had faintly awakened.

The Naga warrior covered his face covered with blood with one hand, pointed to the depths of the reef island with the other hand, and muttered a lot.

Xiu and Roy continued to walk into the island, but none of the Naga warriors behind them came up.

Along the way, several Naga Hai clan members were found unconscious on the rocks.

They were all obviously sleeping, but these Naga Sea Tribes were almost all nightmares. Some Naga Sea Tribes had their hands on their necks, looking like they wanted to strangle themselves to death, while others were waving their hands around in panic...

Roy would splash the seawater infused with the power of holy light on their faces again and again, making them wake up from nightmares.

As long as he passed by, the Nagahai tribe struggling in the nightmare would wake up one after another.

Xiu has been walking in front of Roy, but he looks like a drunken drunk at the moment, and his walking is even more wobbly.

The two walked for a while, but saw no Naga warriors or water ghosts along the way...

Roy found that Xiu was walking slower and slower. When he caught up with Xiu and planned to say a few words to him, he realized that Xiu's face was stained with blood, and his eyes, nose, mouth and ears were all bleeding again. …

Roy quickly used the 'secondary healing technique' on Xiu.

A ray of holy light fell, and not only did the seven orifices no longer bleed, but his mental state suddenly improved a lot.

Xiu twisted his huge tail and moved forward quickly...

He didn't pay any attention to how sharp the rocks under him were. Even though several fish scales fell from his abdomen, Xiu didn't make a sound.

Roy followed Xiu, and the two walked for nearly half an hour before they saw a patch of vines on the rocks in front of them.

These vines seem to have been entrenched here for a long time. The entire reef, which is more than ten meters wide, is almost covered by these vines.

These vines looked a bit like thorn grass, without leaves, and all the plants were covered with sharp thorns. Roy walked a little closer and found that there were some flower buds blooming on the branches of these vines, exuding the fragrance of thorns. A dizzying black mist.

When he got here, Roy felt a strong mental shock again...

But the devastating spiritual impact was completely absorbed by the sacred seedling.

Obviously, Xiu was not so lucky. He was so shocked that he sat on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Roy used the 'Secondary Healing Technique' on Xiu again, allowing Xiu's injuries to heal quickly.

A ray of holy light was sent to Xiu Xiu's body, and Xiu stood up straight again.

This time Xiu walked straight to the clump of vines. He pulled out an ax from his waist and chopped down hard on the thorns and vines.

A cane was cut directly in half by Xiu...

The water ghosts around the reef seemed to have gone crazy. They emerged from the sea one after another and rushed towards the island. The pressure on the Janna warriors standing on the periphery of the reef increased suddenly, and some water could be heard in the distance. The ghost's growl.

Roy also took the opportunity to come up and said to Xiu who was swinging a sharp ax:

"It seems like these rattans control the water ghosts!"

Xiu nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with Roy's view.

Roy also took out a hatchet from his magic waist bag. Since he returned from the Magala Jungle, he has almost always carried outdoor items such as water bladders and hatchets with him.

Now this hatchet naturally has its use. Roy imitated Xiu's movements and kept cutting off these thorns and vines.

Chop, chop, chop...

There was only one vine covering a sea reef. The two men chopped down the tree vine until only some rhizomes were left, which had already penetrated deeply into the sea reef.

As these vines were chopped off, the surrounding water ghosts slowly retreated into the sea...

Even the crisis on board the Nautilus was officially resolved. All the water ghosts slowly sank into the sea. In addition to being filled with stench, the ship also clearly recorded the evil deeds of the water ghosts. Everything else has returned to normal. .

Even the faint black mist that filled the air began to slowly dissipate.

A group of Naga sea warriors also came behind Xiu from the edge of the reef island. Everyone looked very embarrassed, but every sea warrior seemed to have a smile of victory on his face.

A white light appeared on the horizon in the distance, and it would be dawn soon...

Xiu swam over with his tail wagging, right in front of Roy, and slapped him.

Other Naga warriors also imitated Xiu's example and high-fived Roy to express their recognition.

The darkness slowly gave way to dawn, and the island was gradually submerged by the sea.

At this time, Xiu patted Roy on the shoulder and pointed to the Nautilus not far away, indicating that he could go back.

Before leaving, he tied two bundles of cut vines and gave them to Roy.

Roy couldn't figure out what these vines were. They looked very powerful, so he didn't refuse and put them into his magic pocket.

Xiu saw Roy accept the vines, and a smile appeared on his extremely ugly face, but it looked a little creepy.

Xiu took Roy to a sea rock, jumped up, and Xiu plunged directly into the sea...

Roy could only bite the bullet and jump into the sea.

Then, Xiu appeared from behind Roy, put his hands on Roy's armpits, and pushed him to swim towards the Nautilus.

Roy found that none of the water ghosts could be seen. Not even the bodies of the water ghosts could be found on the sea. If it weren't for the stench in the air, it would be as if those evil ghosts had never been here.

Xiu sent Roy under the Nautilus ship, deliberately made a huge splash, and then plunged into the sea and disappeared.

The crew of the Nautilus heard the sound of water splashing below the ship, looked over the side of the ship, and then discovered Roy soaking in the sea...

At this time, Roy was still wearing thick leather armor, and even floating in the sea was very difficult.

The crew on the boat quickly threw a rope towards the sea. Roy barely reached the rope and then put the rope around his body.

Everyone struggled to pull Roy out of the sea...

Claire hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Roy didn't seem to be injured except for being a little tired.

Roy was carried back to the cabin by the sailors, changed into dry clothes, and put the wet thick leather armor into the suitcase. While wiping his hair, Roy opened the cabin door and let in Claire who was waiting outside. .

At this time, the Nautilus was ready to set sail...

Last night's battle left a lot of traces on the ship, and the crew even started washing the deck.

Only the young elves returned to their rooms to catch up on their sleep after the battle.

Claire had obviously stayed up all night, and her beautiful blue eyes were bloodshot. Seeing that Roy returned to the Nautilus safely, Claire was extremely happy. She sat on a chair and asked Roy:

"Do you know those Naga Sea Tribes?"

"Well, I am an old acquaintance with the Naga Hai clan who boarded the ship to look for me. His name is Xiu. He once helped me, and I also helped them..."

Roy sat on the bed and explained to Claire.

"I don't know how they got here and took me to an island. Then we cut down a leafless vine there, and then they sent me back to the Nautilus."

Roy added.

"That Naga Sea Tribe came to you just to ask you to go to the reef island with him to cut down vines?" Claire asked in disbelief.

Roy nodded and admitted:

"That's it!"

As he spoke, he took out a thorn-covered vine from his magic belt bag and said to Claire:

"It's this kind of vine..."

At this time, a red sun just rose from the sea. The sunlight shone on the vines, and Roy finally saw that the vines were covered with some weird magic patterns.

And Claire also exclaimed:

"Oh my god, Roy, you actually got a piece of 'Nightmare Vine' back?"
