Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 309

"How did you do that trick just now? It's actually able to modify other people's memories. I haven't seen you use it before." Jason leaned against Alka and asked in a low voice.

At this time, they still maintain the formation just now, but the one leading the way in front has become the old man in the boat.

Hearing this, Alka said softly: "It's a technique to use dream clouds, and what you said is too exaggerated, it can't achieve such an effect at all.

The reason why the effect was achieved just now is because of a coincidence that the conditions just happened to be met. "

Alka only used the simple sleeping ability, plus certain hypnotic techniques.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a skill modification.In this world with souls and magical powers, memory and soul are highly bound.

Being able to modify memory means being able to affect the most essential soul of life.

This is not justified by a small ability, which is why Jason and the others were surprised.

From the frightened and angry look of the old man when he saw Julia's fishtail just now, he knew that he himself was unbelievable.

That look of trembling with fear can't be faked.

This obviously reached the condition of a nightmare, which is one of the most instinctive reaction mechanisms of the human body.

Too much fear and unbelievable things can easily make people feel that they don't seem like reality.

Alka immediately put him to sleep, and then performed a very simple hypnosis technique.

This memory is still in his mind, but the old man can tell from his appearance that he is not young, and his strength is very weak for Alka.

With Alka's strength at this stage and his finer control over the fog of dreams, it is easy to make some detailed experience changes to it.

During his deep sleep, he used hypnosis techniques to make him really regard the memory just now as a nightmare.

because it meets the conditions.

And it was just a momentary thing, something that just happened.

Under various conditions, the effect just now was achieved.

So this is not a memory modification at all, but just an ability to adapt to changing circumstances, accomplished through the fine manipulation of the fog of dreams.

After roughly understanding what Alka meant, Jason nodded.

In that case, there is nothing to be interested in.

And the old man's skill in controlling the fish also amazed everyone.

He was sitting in the small boat, waving the fishing rod in his hand, surrounded by a large group of sea fish.

This is a fish that is about the size of two palms on average. It has light black scales and looks fat.

You can tell at a glance that it is the kind of fish that can produce a lot of meat.

Looking around, there are at least a few thousand of them surrounding them, paddling under their boats and under their feet, without any fear.

It seems to have been used to it for a long time.

Even the stone-shaking guns around the old man's boat could still see a few huge fish of this kind.

As long as a full leg of a normal person, they push the boat to sail.

No wonder they didn't see the spell on the boat just now, nor did they watch the old man paddling.

But the ship can still move slowly.

The old man was just like the first time they saw him, he was a herdsman.

It's just that the fish are herded.

It was the first time I saw such a new group of people, and I felt a little novel.

"Okay, it's time for you to play a role." Alka looked at Jason and said.

Jason nodded, rolled up his trouser legs a little, and jumped off the boat.

However, his feet did not directly step on the bottom of the water. A crystal emerged from his feet to lift him in the water, and he drove forward.

He quickly came to the side of the old man's boat.

After a while, everyone could see Jason talking happily with the old man.

Communication is his forte, and it's why he's the primary intelligence gatherer on board.

Alka sat on the boat, staring at the front in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Why is he so afraid of Julia?" Xia Daiti, who was at the helm, asked softly.

This is a question that must be understood.

Alka shook his head, he was also thinking about this issue.

The old man's previous behavior could not be faked. Seeing Julia's expression was like seeing a ghost.

This is obviously not in line with what they expected before.

They thought it was because of the connection between this area and life, but it must be so similar.

But through him looking at Julia Fishtail, the kind of fear that confronts a mermaid.

There's even the emotion of anger that follows fear.

The relationship between the two may not be as... harmonious as they thought.

Julia seemed to be aware of this herself.

As for the specific reason, it is not known.Even if they know so many research reports, it is simply about the situation in this area, not the origin between them and life.

Not to mention the information about conflicting customs and religions.

Led by the old man in front, they soon saw a... village in front of them?
If it is a village.

Because the appearance of this gathering place is not the same as the village in their minds, those buildings make them feel strange.

No, very strange and surprising.

The front is still the sea area, and there are no mud rocks or small islands.

It's just that above the sea there are living areas built with various wooden boards, rattan and plants.

These house-like things look like huge spherical objects woven from vines.

There is a round opening in front of the round vine house, which is the entrance and exit gate.

The house is like floating on the sea, the reason why the circular house structure will not roll over.It is because it is surrounded by flat wooden boards and rattan winding for fixing.

able to keep him afloat in a steady manner.

But even so, you can clearly feel the feeling of the house shaking slightly with the waves on the sea.

Seeing this situation, Jason, who was communicating with the old man from time to time, asked immediately.

"Is this your village? This... is too interesting."

"Haha, it's not the same as where you live outside. This is Piaoqiu Village." The old man smiled a few times and introduced it happily.

Evidently he loved his village very much.

Jason looked at those houses and asked curiously, "How was this house built?"

"Using the [Vine Length] spell."

"[Tengchang]?" Jason asked strangely.

What kind of spell is this?The name alone sounds a bit too strange.

"It's a very simple spell that outsiders from the Church of Our Lady could easily learn. Let me demonstrate it to you."

The old man said and waved his hand.

The magic power swayed out, and then Alka saw the place formed by the entangled vines in the sea below, and some vines began to break away from the entanglement and began to grow upwards.

Under the control of the old man, it sticks out of the water and weaves into a ball, floating along the waves.

But because it is connected to the vines below, it is firmly tied, even if it shakes, it will not completely float away.

This is obviously the same as the structure of the houses in the village, except that the structure of the house is larger, and more vines may be used.

At this moment, Arka understood how the houses in this village were constructed.

This is also very interesting.

As they came to the village, the presence of Alka and the others was too conspicuous.

A middle-aged man who doesn't look very old is wearing rattan armor made of strange vines.

Holding a trident with metallic luster in his hand, he walked towards them.

...No, not by walking.

When he got a little closer, everyone realized that he was sitting on something.

It was a strange creature with a body length of one and a half meters. It could be seen that it had four limbs, a slender head, and a long tail swinging.

It looks a bit like a crocodile, but a bit like a fish.

And although the trident in his hand had a metallic luster, Alka felt that it should not be a metal weapon.

It would be too strange for such a person who has lived at sea for a long time to use metal weapons.

Losses can easily occur.

It doesn't make sense, it looks like some kind of wooden weapon with a metallic luster.

Should be very sturdy.

The strength is also in the second stage, but it is a few spirals stronger than the old man's strength.

It feels like we are about to break through to the third stage.

After swimming over with a strange creature, he looked at everyone warily.

Among them, I took a special look at Alka, Xia Daiti and Jason.

Obviously he noticed the difference between the three.

The only strange thing about the three of them may be that all three of them believe in the Virgin Mary and can be regarded as members of the Church of the Virgin Mary.

"Uncle Keke, who are they?"

Hearing this, the old man named Keke led them all the time and smiled: "They belong to the Church of Notre Dame, and they happened to crash into Zehai in our direction, so they came up to take a look."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at everyone vigilantly again.

Seeing that Alka was clearly the leader, he nodded.

"I hope you don't do anything bad in the village."

The crowd nodded.

Following behind the two of them, they walked towards the village.

The area of ​​the village is not small.

After all, the spherical house floating on the sea is indeed very strange.

The arrival of their group of outsiders made the surrounding residents couldn't help turning their heads to look at them.

Especially some children, when they saw the huge pile of dolls on the boat, their eyes were shining.

But they didn't dare to come here at all, not because they were timid.It's because their parents have held them firmly and looked at their children with very unkind eyes.

Obviously, if they want to break free, they must be beaten by their parents.

As soon as I entered the village, I seemed to have arrived at Uncle Keke's house, where he lived very close to the entrance of the village.

He waved his fishing rod, and thousands of fish formed a straight line and swam towards the bottom of a house made of two spheres.

The structure of this house and its surroundings is a little different, because there is an obvious fence behind the circular house, which encloses a large circle.

Those fish entered the fish pen through the sea water below.

Apparently a place for farming.

"This is definitely not the place you want to stay, after all, this is just an ordinary village.

If you want to go to the mud, you have to walk in this direction for a few days. "

The middle-aged man with a trident looked at the crowd and said.

"Mud?" The name made Jason a little strange.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, it's the island you outsiders mentioned."

After hearing this, everyone understood what the so-called muddy ground meant.

After all, according to the structure of this Zehai, they can live a normal life even outside the island, and they don't necessarily have to live on the island.

After generations, there may be no so-called island concept, and it seems more reasonable to call it muddy land.

"Of course, we are just a little curious, after all, it is a village living on the sea.

We'll be leaving in a moment, thank you for your guidance. "

Alka nodded beside him and said.

It could be seen that this middle-aged man, who looked like a militiaman, was able to let them walk around the village because he saw that Alka and the others were believers of the Holy Mother.

The village seemed unusually xenophobic. Whether it was to protect the safety of the village or something else, it was completely understandable not to allow them to stay in the village.

After hearing Alka's answer, all the middle-aged men nodded in reassurance.

"Quick, you are so rude."

Uncle Keke, who was by the side and did not leave, said aloud.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Quick sighed helplessly.

"Uncle Keke, there is no way to do this, for the sake of the safety of the village. Now is not a good time to take in outsiders for sightseeing."

Keke was also a little helpless, but he didn't refute his words, he still looked at the people in Alka and said, "It takes about three to four days and nights to go there from here.

There are many people in the mud, and they are more inclusive.You can rest there safely, but you'd better move fast.If you are slow, it will be too late. "

"What do you mean?" Arka frowned at these words.

Obviously not a good thing.

Just as Quick was about to explain, he heard an older voice from behind.

"Let me speak."

The voice was old, and an old man standing on a strange creature with his back hooked was carried over.

The creature beneath his feet was the same creature the militia had expected.

Just asked, it seems to be called crawling fish.

"village head."

"village head."

Hearing the voices of the two, the old man just nodded.

The old man looked at Alka and the others.

"Well, you don't seem like bad people, but I hope you understand that the village is quite tense during this time."

Afterwards, without waiting for Alka and the others to reply, the old man rambled, "The monsters from the Desecrated Land are coming again, we have to be prepared.

It's been a few days since the big gardener sent word, so if you're going to the mud, you'd better hurry. "

"The monster in the desecrated land?"

"It's the area you call the boundary between life and death, where there are many monsters and they hate all life.

Over the years, every once in a while, they will gather to attack outside, and our place is the border.Next to that profane place. "

In this way, they will understand.

The monsters in the area at the junction of life and death are indeed extremely aggressive, even if they only pass by the sea far away.

But once they are seen by the monsters above, those monsters entangled by undead and plants will try to attack them.

Those who have long-range attacks keep using them, and those who don't have all kinds of vines and even reefs and throw them at them.

It is almost inevitable to be neighbors with such monsters.

It's better to say that this place can be well preserved, which is already very good.

Because Alka didn't seem to see any protective measures in this village.

Finally, the village head thought for a while and said: "If you don't mind, you can go to the muddy field with the village team.

This may save a lot of time, they often go this way. "

"Village Chief!" A middle-aged man named Quick frowned and shouted beside him.

He obviously doesn't trust Alka and the outsiders like them.

"Don't worry, Quick, they are not bad people, believe in the wisdom of the old man."

Hearing this, the middle-aged militiaman had no choice but to nod.

The last village chief began to explain to everyone.

"Our village needs to transport some materials to the mud, so you are the area, the place that is mainly attacked, and you need material resources.

The last wave of supplies in our village has not been delivered yet, and we are about to leave. If you don't mind, you can go together. "

Arka turned her head when she heard this, looked at the crowd and asked for their opinions.

The people behind did not communicate, and they all nodded in agreement with this idea.

If you can speed up, why not do it.

As for whether there is any danger, they need to be vigilant enough.

"Okay, we can act together. If we encounter danger, we will also help."

The old man smiled and nodded: "That would be great, come with me."

Speaking of which, the old man brought Alka and the others to the end of the village.

This also allowed them to pass through the center of the village and simply walk around the whole village.

There seem to be many herders like Keke.

Because half of the houses have this structure, and they saw many of those fat-headed fish swimming around here and gathering in the village.

This seems to be a specialty of their village.

Come to the tail.

Here, as they say, a lot of supplies have been piled up.

These materials are packed in sealed rattan balls, and it can be seen that there are some unknown wood and a lot of fish products inside.

There are more supplies placed on a long board with a concave shape.

A longboard has a flat bottom and floats on the sea.

In front of the long board is a slender strange fish, more than three meters long.

The huge body shape and the slender and wide fish tail can make people clearly realize how powerful it is in the water.

There is a saddle-like device buckled on this fish, with two rattan sticks protruding from it and tied to a long wooden board.

There is also a person sitting on the head of the board, also holding something similar to a fishing rod in his hand.

There are a total of three fish pull wooden boats like this.

If you insist on comparison, it is a bit like a carriage.

It can also be called a fish cart.

There are 6 militiamen who look a bit strong next to them, and their strength is all around the second stage.

Their outfits and weapons, as well as the reptiles they ride under them, are exactly the same as Quick.

When Alka and the others arrived, most of the supplies had already been loaded and they were ready to leave.

The village head brought them over and talked with the leader, a middle-aged man with a beard.

"They will follow you to the mud, and they can take care of each other."

As the bearded leader nodded, he was not disgusted or embarrassed at all.

Finally, looking at Alka's smile, he stretched out his hand and shook it.

"Just call me Madru."

"Call me Alka, I'll be begging you a lot these days."

"You look much better than me, we should be taken care of by you."

After the two strangers who had just met were a little polite, they walked together under the eyes of the village chief.

The transport team from the village walked ahead, and Alka and the others were a few meters behind, following behind with a certain distance.

"What a strange way, this place is really interesting."

Simon looked at the transport team ahead and couldn't help but smile.
