Chapter 1223 Return to Zumo Island (VIII)
"Huh... it was so dangerous. I almost capsized in the ditch."
Two seconds after the explosion, Feng Sansan's unconscious figure reappeared, but he was holding Crazy Eyes by the collar with one hand and floating in the air. His position was exactly at the edge of the explosion range. affected by it.
"You guys react very quickly." Crazy Eyes, who was pulled out of the dangerous area in time by Brother Jue, did not change his attitude.
"It's already slow. If I had realized what the other party was going to do a few seconds earlier, I might have been able to counterattack before they launched their attack." Feng Bujue replied.
"Them?" Crazy Eyes was just about to ask about this word, when a translucent black sphere slowly rose out of the billowing smoke ahead.
Through the smoke, Feng Bujue could see three people standing in the sphere, namely Blackbeard, Honghu and Snow.
"As the people responsible for exploring the path, can you two explain...what is this situation?" Blackbeard at this time naturally looked unhappy. Although he and the two people around him were unscathed, his helpers may not be able to escape from this attack.
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue thought thoughtfully, "According to my observation... this should be a mixed spell of Mega_Brand and Elmekia Flame. Although it is just a powerful earth The magic is combined with a spiritual magic, but because the magic power of the caster is extremely high, after it is actually released..."
"Who asked you about the principle of magic?" Blackbeard became impatient before he finished speaking and interrupted, "I'm asking you why you didn't discover the enemy and send out a signal before this attack was launched."
"I discovered it." Feng Bujue spread his hands, "Didn't I shout 'withdraw'?"
"Are you kidding me by shouting a second earlier?" Blackbeard asked again.
"Tch... I also wanted to shout earlier." Feng Bujue said, "But there is no energy fluctuation at all before the opponent casts the spell. What can I do? If you don't believe me, ask your cadres... uh..." he said He looked down and glanced into the still smoking sea water, "Are they not dead yet?"
Blackbeard did not answer his question, but continued to ask: "Since there is no energy fluctuation, you shouldn't be able to advance even one second, right?"
"Huh... Indeed, I didn't sense any signs that strong magic was about to be activated, but before the attack just now... I caught a magic arrow." Feng Bujue said.
"So what?" Blackbeard asked.
Feng Bujue said: "Generally speaking... that doesn't mean anything, but as a person like me, when I encounter something, I will come up with a hundred possible hypotheses; and one of the hypotheses happens to be--' It's a positioning arrow'.
Blackbeard is very shrewd. After Brother Jue said this, after he thought about it again, many things became clear.
"You mean...there's more than one person on the other side?" Blackbeard quickly changed the question.
"At this stage, that possibility is very high." Feng Bujue replied, "You also saw the trick just now. Although it is a mixed magic, it is not very advanced; it can produce such power purely because of Relying on the support of huge magical energy." He paused for half a second, and then said, "If there is only one magician, then there will be a problem... A magician with such magical energy really doesn't understand. Are you using other more advanced and more efficient spells to attack?"
"Oh~" After hearing this, Snow also understood, "But if a large group of average or even weak magicians gathered together to cast spells, this would make sense."
"That's right." Feng Bujue continued, "So, the magic arrow I took before was undoubtedly used to locate the target for that large group of spell casters." He paused, and then said, "By the way, One thing to mention... Judging from the magic energy coming out of the magic arrow, the guy responsible for positioning is very strong. I also have a general understanding of the level of the believers in the Phantom Church. This guy must be at the cadre level, which means... He clearly knew me, knew my identity, and heard my warning, but... he still launched the attack."
"Oh?" Blackbeard groaned, "This is a bit strange...".
"Ha!" Crazy Eyes laughed dryly at the side, "Why do I think it's quite normal?" He turned to look at Brother Jue, "If a person like this just stands in front of me, I have the power to hack him to death." It was impulsive and the other party couldn’t hold it back for a while, which I can totally understand.”
"Hmph..." Blackbeard heard a sneer on his lips, "That makes sense."
While these people were floating in the sky and talking, in the area that had just been flattened by the magic light explosion...in the boiling seawater...one after another, figures slowly climbed up from the water.
"I seem to have been deafened by the explosion." The first person to land was Mark Nuchou. As he walked, he shook the big horse head around his neck.
"Alas..." His brother Mark Tuda followed closely behind. After hearing his brother's lines, he sighed, stepped forward and grabbed the other person's head with both hands, "Idiot! What's the use of shaking it flatly?" When he said this, he had already pulled his brother's head and tilted it to the left and right sides respectively.
"Eh?" Mark Neckou was overjoyed at the time, "Okay~"
"Nonsense, wouldn't it be better to just pour the mud out of your ears?" Even though Mark Houda's IQ is not high, it is still good compared to his younger brother; maybe... because he has a human head, So IQ prevailed.
At this time, on a mud slope five or six meters away from them, Mr. Voge and Nesru also came out of the water one after another.
"Puh--Damn it! What I hate most is taking a bath!" After spitting out a mouthful of sea water, Mr. Voge still cursed.
And Nesru beside him looked very lost at this moment; because... the reflection in the water had told Nesru that his "cake head" had completely collapsed at this moment... drooping into an abnormally short "watermelon taro" hairstyle.
In addition to these four cadres, Garlic Brother, Godfrey and Madi were basically fine, and they all came out of the water soon.
However, the situation of the remaining 19 pirates was not optimistic... Even though they were members of the Blackbeard Pirates, not everyone could survive such an attack; among the 19 people, four never left the Demon Island alive, another six were seriously injured and lost their ability to move, and nine were also injured to varying degrees.
Under such circumstances, Blackbeard still decisively issued orders - he asked the Garlic Trio and the wounded who were still able to move to take all the injured crew members back, and then take the 19 uninjured people back.
Blackbeard, the three players, Crazy Eyes, and the four officers on the ship continued to move forward, leaving marks along the way so that Garlic and the others could find the way when they brought reinforcements.
In this way, the team of thirty people was reduced to nine people, one of whom was Crazy Eyes who had no combat power and might escape or betray at any time.
Even so, Brother Jue still did not see the slightest sense of crisis and tension in Blackbeard's brows...
Although he did not show it, Feng Bujue had a faint feeling in his heart... Blackbeard's purpose of coming to the Demon Island this time was probably not just to find his son, old subordinates and treasures; this island... obviously also hides some secrets that cannot be told. (To be continued.)
