Chapter 901, Hairy Monster

After introducing the 'Loser's Knife', the Elf Elder continued to introduce other props and wonders.

Wu Heng took another special look at the explosives.

【Explosive Flame Pack】

(Description: A package of multiple explosive stones tied together. When the triggering conditions are met, the thunder stone will release a powerful explosion effect, causing great power to the surrounding creatures and objects.)

It is about the size of a package and is wrapped in oilcloth.

Explosive Stone is a type of magic item. It is not gunpowder so it can be used underwater, but the effect should not be as good as on land.

After introducing the items, the elf elder continued, "Chief, the scrolls that allow you to keep breathing underwater can provide about 20 minutes of time. The quantity is sufficient. You need to calculate the time well and keep using the scrolls when you are underwater."

After the watch became a best-seller among professionals, Treasure Island's name for time also spread outside the island.

When communicating, the concept of time is no longer vague, but precise time such as 20 minutes is expressed.

The dwarf elder added, "The premise for destroying the array is that there is no way to bypass it. It is not clear whether there will be other dangers underwater."

"The ghost has checked, and there are traces of array patterns on other routes as well." Wu Heng thought for a moment, and then said, "And I suspect that the rift is the entrance for our trip. If we want to complete this archaeological excavation, we cannot avoid this vortex."

The two elders frowned, thinking about Wu Heng's words.

There are also traces of array patterns, which means there may be danger.

Now there is only this one ship left, and I dare not gamble whether those formations will be effective.

The elf elder sighed and said, "Then let's select a few people to go into the sea."

Squeak~!

As they were talking, the door opened and Philippa walked in directly.

Seeing the two elders in the room, he put away his lazy look and said seriously, "Chief, the two elders have arranged cabins for the people on board, which can just meet the accommodation needs of everyone."

"Yeah." Wu Heng nodded.

Philippa came over and sat down nearby.

The dwarf elder continued the previous topic and asked, "Chief, are you sure there is no danger down there?"

"The ghost has explored twice and found no danger, but the possibility of some potential danger cannot be ruled out." Wu Heng replied.

The elf elder thought for a moment and said, "There are two diving artifacts and more scrolls. I think it would be more appropriate to arrange five people to go down, and arrange people above to meet them."

"We hunters will arrange three people." The dwarf elder said directly.

Hunters are good at exploring and dealing with the dangers of some ancient sites.

"Then we will send out two of us to provide timely support if there is any danger." said the elf elder.

Wu Heng glanced at the two people who had discussed it and said, "You don't need to arrange anyone. I can just let Skeleton go into the water."

The two of them looked delighted. Since Wu Heng didn't mention it, they didn't want to bring it up either.

"Then I'll trouble you, Chief." The elf elder immediately thanked him.

Wu Heng continued, "Take the rare items back first, and we'll go to the sea again tomorrow."

The two looked at each other, put away the props on the table, stood up and saluted, "Then we won't disturb the leader's rest."

Then, he nodded to Philippa and left the room.

Wait until the two of them leave.

As Philippa made the bed, she asked, "Skeletons aren't afraid of the dark, so why are they going into the water tomorrow?"

Wu Heng explained, "We just escaped, so we gave them some time to recover. Besides, the visibility is better during the day, so if there is any trouble underwater, we can find it in time."

"Okay, as long as you've made up your mind." Philippa quickly made the bed, then sat at the table and made a video call to Minnie and the others.

As soon as the call was connected, Philippa said in an exaggerated tone, "Minnie, we encountered a whirlpool. Both ships sank and many people died."

The other side was also full of people, Minnie asked: "You and the master are not hurt."

Philippa patted her chest twice, "Are you still not confident that I'll be the captain? I've protected Wu Heng very well, don't worry!"

Andvier's voice continued to come over, "What's going on? Tell us."

Philippa leaned forward and said, “We just arrived here today and were planning to rest on the shore, but when the boat approached the island, the entire sea surface began to spin, like an hourglass.

I have photos here, I will send them to you later, it is very shocking, and then the two broken ships of the association sank, and we had to rescue them, which was a drag. "

Wu Heng reminded from the side, "Talk about your own things, don't talk about these."

"Oh!" Philippa agreed, then lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoxiao, there is a large magic circle under the water, which caused a whirlpool in the sea..."

Philippa chatted with the women of the family.

Wu Heng went to the control room and asked the skeleton to move the ship a little further away from the area.

Wait until late at night and return to the cabin to rest.

……

The next day, early morning.

The deck was filled with fog, and the sea breeze carried the salty smell of the sea.

After a night's rest, the association's members had almost recovered and all gathered on the deck.

"Chief, the rare items have been brought here." The elf elder took out all the rare items.

Wu Heng took a look, picked up the 'Explosive Flame Bag', 'Loser's Knife' and 'Hammer', stuffed the three items into his backpack, and hung them on the skeleton that was about to go into the water.

After the preparations were almost done, Wu Heng looked at the others and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The elf elder said: "The effect of the carving knife has a certain success rate. If it doesn't succeed once, you need to try a few more times."

Wu Heng continued to look at the dwarf elder, who shook his head, "I have nothing to say."

"Go down! Go downstream first." Wu Heng patted the skeleton's shoulder.

The skeleton jumped up and jumped into the sea with a "splash".

Then swim underwater.

Wu Heng said: "Philippa will command the ship, and the two elders will lead people to guard the surroundings. If any target approaches, we can attack in advance."

"Yes!" Everyone responded and quickly dispersed as ordered.

Wu Heng returned to the cabin and said to the ghosts in the room: "I will use the divine presence to possess the skeleton. Xiaoxiao and Benny will follow me to the bottom of the water. Glenda will protect my body. If there is any danger, I will possess it and escape."

"it is good."

"clear."

Xiaoxiao and Benny disappeared directly through the ground, and Wu Heng also released [Divine Presence], and his divine consciousness descended on the diving skeleton.

……

The spirit woke up in the skeleton, surrounded by turbid sea water mixed with broken wood and debris.

This skeleton is a level 12 ranger who was a pirate in his lifetime. After being transformed into a skeleton, he still retained the ability to swim.

Even if the body is just a skeleton, it can still swim in the water.

"Uncle, is that you?" Xiaoxiao and Benny also flew down.

Wu Heng nodded, indicating that it was him.

"It's over here, follow me." Xiaoxiao waved her hand and swam down first.

Wu Heng controlled the skeleton and followed closely behind, continuing to dive.

I don’t know how long it took, but beneath the turbid water, I could see broken shipwrecks covering the seabed. A cursory glance showed that there were at least a hundred of them.

Some are nearly buried in mud and sand, others are covered in seaweed and barnacles, and others are newer and younger.

Philippa said that no pirates had discovered the island.

It is very likely that the pirate ships that have been discovered are already underneath here.

As they were getting closer to the seabed, there was no need to continue leading the way. Xiaoxiao and Benny followed the skeleton downwards while chatting about their speculations about the formation.

The skeleton's paw landed on the bottom of the sea, and suddenly a feeling of being hated came from the ruins of the sunken ships standing on the side.

[Hate Sense] was triggered.

Wu Heng turned his head suddenly and looked over, and saw a pair of dark blue eyes staring at him from the cracks in the broken shipwreck.

"Ah~!" Xiaoxiao turned her head, was startled, and hid directly behind Wu Heng.

Benny also looked at the other party warily.

It was in human form, covered with long, messy black hair, floating in the ocean current like a sea urchin, with dark blue eyes, and claws clinging to the broken hull, with animal-like "webbed feet".

what?

I've never seen such a thing before, it can actually live on the seabed.

Moreover, all three ghosts had checked the seabed and there was definitely no such monster before last night.

Is this the monster protecting the formation?

Or maybe, after each whirlpool, these things know that there will be dead people and come here to look for food.

Thoughts arise from my mind one after another.

"Wu Heng, a level 9 monster, not a big problem." Benny said.

Not a big problem?

As if in response to her words, blue eyes appeared one after another from the abandoned ships around them.

Further back, some even jumped onto the roof of the sunken ship and stared at this side.

Now the problem is big.

There are at least a hundred of them, and it is inconvenient for them to move underwater, so it is hard to say whether it will affect their ability to destroy the formation.

"Uncle, I guarantee that there were no such hairy monsters yesterday. They must have run over from nearby." Xiaoxiao made a gesture of an elementary school student raising his hand and made the assurance.

Penny also said, "It was indeed not yesterday."

Wu Heng nodded and quickly glanced forward. The formation pattern detected by the ghost appeared in his sight.

The exposed areas outside the silt are made of stone, which is carved with complex and dense patterns.

It's an array pattern. Even if you don't understand this aspect, you can tell that it's an array pattern that works in a related way.

At this time, a hairy monster tried to move forward.

Wu Heng raised his head to look at it, then immediately stopped approaching, but he just waved his arms and floated in place.

Then, the hairy monsters around all moved forward.

They rushed towards him quickly, like countless balls of wool, dragging dense threads and converging towards this side.

damn it!

Wu Heng pointed his finger at the two ghosts, quickly marked the formation pattern, and then pointed at the approaching monster.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xiao looked around.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Beni said: "Let's hold them back while Wu Heng goes to destroy the formation."

"Kill! No one is allowed to bully my dad." Xiaoxiao yelled and rushed towards the hairy monster in the front.

The possession was successful, and then the head made a crackling sound, the hairy monster opened its mouth wide, spit out a few bubbles, and its body sank downwards.

But unlike humans, the hairy monster did not die immediately. Instead, its body kept twitching and it was still trying to stand up.

Such high physical resilience?

His neck was twisted but he is not dead yet.

But one good thing is that these monsters can still possess people.

Benny also quickly rushed towards the approaching hairy monster and quickly broke its neck.

The skeleton was swimming forward quickly on the seabed, surrounded by monsters with long black hair. Before they could get close to the skeleton, ghosts possessed them one after another, blocking them and twisting their necks.

Wu Heng swam hard, getting closer and closer to the formation pattern.

A hairy monster fell in front of him, its claws still grabbing forward with all its might.

Finally, Wu Heng approached the array pattern, took out the hammer and carving knife from his backpack, and smashed the array pattern.

Dang~!

The carving knife left a white mark on the stone.

Dangdangdang~!

Click~!

A crack appeared in the middle of the stone, completely breaking the intricate array pattern.

A wave of energy spread out and the magic circle became ineffective.

Wu Heng turned around and swam upwards, grabbing the skeleton's ankle with his sharp claws.

Then, countless balls of wool wrapped the skeleton tightly.

Benny said: "There are too many. We can't kill them all."

Wu Heng threw the carving knife aside, reached his skeleton arm into his backpack, and turned the button of the "explosive bag".

Then, release [Divine Presence] and the divine consciousness returns.

……

inside the cabin.

Wu Heng stood up again. Grenda, who was reading a book, glanced at him and said, "Is it going well?"

Boom~!

Before he could answer, a huge explosion was heard outside, and a column of water several meters high shot up into the sky.

The ship began to rock violently, then stabilized.

Glenda's eyes widened, he stuck his head out, looked at the location of the explosion, then retracted his head and said, "Is there any danger under the water?"

"There were a lot of black-haired monsters below, and the car almost overturned." Wu Heng said.

I still feel a little aggrieved.

According to Benny, these monsters are around level 9 or 10.

Don't say that I'm a hero now. Even when I became the captain, I wasn't so helpless.

You also need to detonate bombs to destroy those monsters.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the cabin door, and Philippa's voice came over, "Captain Wu Heng, there was an explosion in the sea, and there are many black-haired corpses on the sea."

Wu Heng opened the door and walked out.

Philippa and the two elders stood anxiously at the door.

"The formation has been solved. Let everyone be alert. There are black-haired monsters below. Be careful of attacking the ship." Wu Heng gave orders as he walked.

The order was passed on.

Wu Heng walked to the deck and could see some black-haired corpses floating up.

At this time, the ghost flew back with the carving knife. Wu Heng took the carving knife and returned it to the elf elder.

Xiaoxiao then crawled into the body and shared the following scene.

The explosion killed most of the hairy monsters, and the remaining few also fled in other directions after the explosion and disappeared.

After sharing the screen, Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao and said to the others, "Those hairy monsters have run away. They probably won't come closer."

Huh~!

After saying that, a relieved sound came from behind.

The elf elder said: "Chief, I want to take two monster corpses back for research."

"Go, fish out all the bodies." Wu Heng said to the side.

The skeletons, Shiny and Jumpy, flew out, salvaged the bodies from the sea, and dumped them on the deck.

Scholars in the team who were familiar with some of the organisms began to inspect.

Wu Heng said: "You keep two for yourselves, and I will transform the rest into skeletons, which may be useful later."

The elf elder nodded and had the body wrapped up and put into the space ring.

Wu Heng released [Battlefield of the Dead], transforming all the corpses into skeletons.

[Skeleton Sea Monster (Level 10)].

No more long hair on the body.

The level is only around 10.

The feature is free movement underwater.

"Lower the two boats and try the whirlpool area." Wu Heng continued.

The door at the rear of the frigate opened, and a small boat was released to explore the area.

After trying several times and seeing that there was no problem, the battleship circled the edge twice more.

After confirming that the formation had failed, Wu Heng ordered, "Move forward, get closer to the island."

"Yes!" Philippa replied immediately.

Everyone in the archaeological team also began to get excited.

Finally we can get close to the island.

"Thanks to the chief. If you hadn't come, we would all have died here." The dwarf elder came over and said respectfully.

When he was on Treasure Island, he complained that he had stayed too long waiting for the leader Wu Heng.

Now it seems that these few days have saved their lives.

If Wu Heng hadn't come with us, we wouldn't have been able to return alive, let alone do archaeology.

Wu Heng nodded, "No need to be so polite, we are all members of the association when we are outside."

The people around him became more respectful.

……

The rest of the journey went very smoothly.

The battleship was getting closer and closer to the small island ahead.

The crack in the middle of the island faced the crowd, and the cliffs on both sides were damp, moss-covered black stones.

The sea breeze roared into the crack, making a sound like ghosts howling.

Soon, the ghost came back from the investigation in advance and entered the body to share the picture.

Deep in the crack, there is a flat fortress-like building, and walls, watchtowers and other buildings can be vaguely identified.

Behind the wall, there were groups of iron golems kneeling.

It is very similar to the puppet on the ship tomb, kneeling on the ground with its hands on its legs and a long sword beside it.

Is this a military camp?
