Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 52: Visiting the Prophet and Enlightenment on Swordsmanship

"It feels really good to be back in the territory."

The outline of the Mistcrow tribe appeared in sight, and Jackham couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah."

Reilly exhaled softly. This nearly month-long journey seemed like several years had passed. The nerves that were tense every day were extremely tiring. At this time, he could finally relax.

After coming to this world for more than ten years, I have completely integrated into it without realizing it, and this territory has become a harbor like my hometown.

Although the process of this baptism of the Raiders was tortuous, the harvest was not small. It not only increased the knowledge of the outside world, but more importantly, improved the strength.

The second violent rage was not part of his original understanding, but the advanced ability he unexpectedly activated in a desperate battle, and the price was within an acceptable range.

After using the second violent rage, I observed that the condition of the sword bone was only 30%. After more than 20 days of training, it had recovered to just over 50%.Since the sword bone can be restored, even if the recovery is relatively slow, being able to use this ability that even war commanders dare not use is obviously a pure enhancement in strength.

Everyone slowed down their oars, and Rayleigh also saw two figures, one large and one small, waiting at the port in the distance, and a feeling of warmth arose in his heart.

The warship docked, greeted the people around him, then disembarked and walked toward the two family members.

After walking closer, Reilly took out two carefully selected shells from the Shell Tribe: "I just brought a random gift from the Fern Strait. I don't know if you like it or not."

Itiya took the white shell that was shaped like an umbrella, with a smile on her face: "My sister-in-law likes this gift very much."

Seeing that the person in front of her was intact, she felt relieved.I heard a few days ago that there might be a war with the Blackfish tribe, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep.

My sister also took the bronze-colored shell, which was shaped like a thumb ring. She narrowed her eyes and expressed that she liked the shell, and then said happily:

"Hey!"

After saying that, he put the shell into the belly of the Wheat Terrier Crow.

……

The day after returning to the tribe, Rayleigh went to the Prophet's Cave.In the dim cave filled with hallucinogenic powder, the figure of the prophet was faintly distorted in his sight, and then quickly returned to normal.

"Very good willpower." A hoarse voice came out.

Seeing those eagle eyes regain their clarity instantly after entering the cave, although Prophet Bai's tone did not change, he was somewhat surprised in his heart.Normally speaking, being able to be immune to the influence of hallucinogenic powder can only be achieved by at least those berserker warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles and are as determined as iron.

"There has been some growth recently." Rayleigh replied.

In the past, he had fallen in love with the hallucinogenic fan of the person in front of him when he first met him. He had always stayed away from this prophet over the years.After all, he has the secret of being a time traveler, and he can't predict whether it will be revealed if he is addicted to hallucinogenic powder.

Of course, even if it is revealed, there is a high probability that it will be regarded as nonsense, but it is somewhat unpleasant.

But things are different now. After fighting the extreme sleepiness on Prisoner Island, and then starting the violent and difficult experience again, his will is as firm as iron now, which is incomparable to what he used to be.

He also asked Staff and Bartholomew, and the answers he got were enough to dismantle the influence of hallucinogenic powder for a warrior with strong willpower.

After the small talk, Rayleigh started to get down to business: "I want to know whether the attack by the Blackfish Man this time may be related to this tribe?"

"Many people have asked this question in the past two days." The hoarse voice continued, "If it is related to the people of this tribe, who in the tribe do you think will benefit the most?"

A name crossed Rayleigh's mind, but he didn't speak.If Blackfish's raid was completely successful and three of his geniuses were killed, among which Kaysen was the next generation leader of the Barnard family, then Basholmo would be blamed.

At least he is no longer destined to be the leader. The only person in the tribe who will benefit the most is...

"Commander Daun is a person with a bottom line. Even if he competes with Commander Basomo, he will not do such behavior that seriously weakens the strength of the tribe." The voice of the white prophet continued to come out, "The day you leave, I The three white crows did not find the raven flying from the territory to the Black Fish tribe."

"The greater possibility is that the Blackfish tribe had already planned to attack. They were witnessed by the waiting Blackfish people in the Haast Strait. They had enough time to send the news back and bring their people over. If the raid is successful, the biggest The beneficiary is the Blackfish tribe after all.”

The White Prophet paused, "Of course, there are no other possibilities at all. The most correct answer lies with the wild boar Olaf. But no one can guarantee whether he will tell the truth or release a message to alienate. Therefore, the old man has given up pursuing this matter."

old man?

A strange look flashed in the eagle's eyes. The old man was obviously talking about Chief Barnard.

Reilly put aside this matter and asked the second question: "Is there any medicine that can quickly recover physical injuries or replenish body energy?"

"No, but I can recommend you a good place. There are some dangers." Bai Xianhe has been busy with business these two days, so he naturally learned that the person in front of him started a second violent rage in Prisoner Island, even though this guy is extremely talented. , but my body must have suffered a huge deficit.

"Please advise."

"The Kirigakure Forest." A trace of nostalgia flashed across the vertical pupils, "The grouse there is a great supplement. The fog is always thick in the Kirigakure Forest. It is also an excellent place to practice sightless combat skills."

Rayleigh was immediately interested. It could not only speed up physical recovery, but also practice the sight-free exercise skills that were about to be scheduled. It was indeed a good place.

However, the Kirigakure Forest, which is located at the junction of the two tribes, belongs to the Moriji tribe after all, and is listed as a forbidden area. It is better to ask clearly about any concerns:

"What will happen if someone from the Senji tribe discovers it?" "You can't reach a place where you can't see your fingers. As long as you are careful, you won't be discovered. What you need to worry about is your own safety." Bai Xianhe said as he spoke. He threw out a small bamboo tube, "The snakes, insects, rats and ants there are densely packed, and the tube contains fear-repelling powder, which will be of some help to you."

Lei Li took the bamboo tube and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

It's rude to take other people's things without asking.

"Just bring me a Mori chicken. I haven't eaten it for a long time." The hoarse voice was full of pleasure.

"Okay." Riley nodded.

"By the way, this is for you." The parchment rolled up into the size of a finger flew over in Prophet Bai's hand.

Rayleigh opened the parchment and glanced at it. There were three names written on it and some information, but he couldn't give a definite answer.

One of the names has a cross, so it can be ruled out.

……

After returning home, it took a day to build a simple raft.

At dawn the next day, the three of them carried bamboo cages with clothes on their backs and a raft, taking advantage of the darkness to arrive at the junction of the two tribes.Across the Heishui River, which is more than ten meters wide, is the Kirigakure Forest shrouded in fog all year round.

Near the river bank, crows suddenly flew away from the trees on both sides.

ga-

Following the direction in which the crow flew, Rayleigh raised his head and glanced at the sky. Large dark clouds continued to condense together:
"It is going to rain."

"Well, let's go there quickly." Itia looked away from the sky that was completely clouded in an instant.

The current of the Blackwater River was not very fast at this time. The three of them stood on the raft, put on their bamboo hats, held on to the poles, and soon reached the other side.

The heavy rain followed closely behind them and fell from above their heads. In less than a few breaths, it blurred the surrounding vision like splashing ink.

The three of them hid under a big tree, with a raft on top of their hats that blocked most of the rain. There were still large water columns flowing down the gaps in the raft, and they were soon soaked in the water.

After a heavy rainstorm that lasted for several minutes, the rain gradually slowed down, but the feeling became more and more depressing.

rumbling rumbling...

The lightning in the sky suddenly flashed, and the next moment, there was a loud bang, and a deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the ears of the three of them. Itia felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Not far away in the sight, I saw a big tree bursting with flames, leaning and falling to the ground.

When she heard the thunder gradually subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the two people beside her. The younger sister's slightly dull face did not change much, while the older brother's eyes were shining brightly.

"What did you see that made you so excited?" Yitiya asked doubtfully.

The fire in the distance was extinguished in the rain, and Rayleigh withdrew his gaze: "I was wondering if I could make my swordsmanship as fast and powerful as the lightning just now."

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the sword-drawing technique.

The sword-drawing technique is fast enough, the sword blade and the iron scabbard create a dazzling flash, and it also has the effect of depriving the opponent of sight, making it very suitable as a stunt.

It's a pity that the sword inherited by the family in my hand has been through too many battles and has been repaired again and again. In addition, the sword body is straight and may not be able to withstand the explosive force caused by drawing the sword, and it is easy to break.My family is not rich now, so I have no money to build a fine long sword.

"Sister-in-law, I believe you will be able to do it in the future." Itia sighed slightly, and the lightning struck the tree. She was still glad that it did not hit the tree and shocked the power of the world, but Rayleigh had already thought of swordsmanship, and he was truly talented in swordsmanship. of genius.

After hiding for more than an hour, the rain gradually subsided.

"While the rain is light now, do you want to find a place to stay?"

As soon as Itiya finished speaking, she heard a dense and creepy sound coming from the raft above her head.

"what sound?"

The three of them looked up and saw more than a dozen large and thick centipedes crawling down the tree trunk behind them, and some of them had already landed on top of the raft.

Itia frowned. Not only on the raft, but also from the corner of her eye, she saw some centipedes crawling out from under the surrounding trees.

However, the younger sister looked happy and left from under the raft. With a few strokes of the Saxon sword in her hand, the raft and the centipedes on the tree trunk all turned into two halves.

"Heavy rain and thunder. This kind of weather is prone to accidents. We have to be careful."

After placing the raft and sprinkling some repellent powder to deter small snakes and insects, the three people wearing bamboo hats began to walk deeper into the forest.
