Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Sitting on the boat, Ethan simply sorted out his equipment.

At this time, he was fully armed, wearing the light armor that Chassi gave him, the wristbands from Isandra and the ring from Zul, the iron rods from the dark world, and the inheritance made by Merlin. The books are all in their familiar positions.

The long sword was held in his arms, and it would hang on his waist when he got to the shore.

In addition, there was a Beretta hanging on Ethan's right waistband, as well as a backpack of ammunition, emergency medicine and other items, and a Remington, commonly known as a sprayer, was inserted on the side of the backpack.

It can be called armed to the teeth. If this full set of equipment is fully fired, Ethan feels that there is no one who can threaten him in the calm sea.

It's just that this time, he was a little clueless, because this time he was going to land on an island full of unknowns, and the most terrifying thing in many cases was the unknown.

He had no idea what kind of danger he would encounter, what kind of enemy he would encounter? Or some difficulties that cannot be solved by force.

In addition to being more careful and preparing more Zhou Xiang, Ethan also has no good way.

Speaking of preparations... Ethan saw the women headed by Helena, opened a hidden compartment behind the boat, and took out a lot of weapons, and he raised his evaluation of this woman again.

Before, she had a posture of not carrying a weapon, as if they really didn't take any precautions, but looking at the current situation, we can see that no one who can make a name for himself in this sea is a naive idiot.

These women can thrive in the calm sea, and they also own a big ship with powerful firepower. They are definitely not fools who don’t understand anything. They should have a lot of vigilance. weapon.

Whether it was a sudden attack on Ethan's side or any other danger, they could all deal with it in a timely manner, so as not to be caught by the other side unarmed.

With a bang, the boat hit the shore directly.

The structure of this island is rather peculiar. The water around the island is very deep, let alone a small boat, even a large boat can dock directly against the island, so there is no need to worry about running aground.

Helena jumped to the shore the moment the boat came to the shore, followed by the two women who had boarded the Dawn Goddess together, and Ethan was the last person to disembark.

"You just row back, don't stop here."

When they all got off the boat, Helena directly ordered the two women to leave. It can be seen from this point that she also noticed the abnormality of this island.

"But...if the captain comes back suddenly..."

The meaning of the two women is very clear, what if there is an emergency, when a few people flee to the beach and want to leave the island, what if there is no boat?

"If that happens, this boat can't let us leave quickly, it's no different from swimming and escaping." Helena waved her hand and insisted on her order: "So you all go back to the boat and pay attention to the situation at the seaside. Always be ready to respond.”

Ethan is of the same opinion. It's definitely a bad choice to dock the boat on the shore. The ghost knows what unknowable changes will happen. If they encounter an emergency and come out and find that the boat is still there, but it has become tattered and unusable, it would be better. Keep people at a safe distance and be ready to receive yourself at any time.

It was based on this consideration that he did not let Arthur go with him, and let him stay on the Dawn Goddess.

Stepping on the island, Ethan didn't rush inward, but stood quietly on the shore and felt it for a while.

"This cold and dead energy fluctuation is more obvious, and every inch of this island seems to be filled with this energy."

If it was before, he wouldn't even approach here, just turned around and left.

The pollution of magic energy to the Mage's spiritual power is not simply a passive side effect that occurs when the Mage absorbs energy. Some extreme energies will actively 'contaminate' the spirit of the creature.

Ethan's previous mental power was insufficient in both quantity and intensity. Under such an environment for a long time, it was difficult for his mental power to avoid being polluted by this extreme negative energy.

It was also fortunate that he had practiced on Paradise Island for half a year before, allowing him to successfully condense his spiritual power. Although the improvement in quantity is not large, the quality is much stronger than before, especially the defensive ability has been greatly improved, and it is no longer powerless to fight back against external energy intrusion.

Carefully shrinking his mental power to prevent this energy from eroding, then Ethan began to test the impact of this energy on the living body itself.

The method is not complicated, Ethan just scratched his finger, and then dripped a drop of blood on the pitch-black land, and then used his mental power to make meticulous observations.

It didn't take two seconds before or after, but the conclusion was far from optimistic.

"The island is full of death, and this energy does great damage to living things, and even the dead are affected. We can't stay on this island for too long."

His previous actions had long attracted the attention of Helena and the two women. After seeing the young man busy with his work for a while, he said such a sentence, and the two subordinates were a little dubious.

Only Helena stared at Ethan's eyes seriously, and after seeing him look at her without fear, she chose to believe his words.

"We go straight to the center of the island and come back immediately with or without what we want."

This is the most reliable plan at this stage, although the magic stone does not necessarily exist in the center of the island. It's just that such a large-scale release of energy fluctuations needs to spread evenly to every inch of the island, so the one located in the center may be the largest - whether it is Helena or Ethan, the default is that this island will be affected by such a situation. The influence of the magic stone.

"By the way, the two of you should introduce yourself before you leave, otherwise you won't know what to call the situation."

The two women nodded and said their names respectively.

The shorter, but very strong, was called Marta; the other, who was as tall as Helena, but with wider shoulders and longer, was called Eliza.

Looking at the figures of the two, you can know that they are experts in combat. Compared with Helena, although she has a strong body, her lines are not cold and hard, and she does not have such angular muscle lines, especially her appearance is soft and beautiful in addition to her sharp eyes. .

The three women all carried weapons and wore some leather armor—when Ethan put on the metal light armor, he also attracted the attention of several women. Few of them wore metal armor in the sea, because once they fell into the water, they would have The equipment that protects you can be your deadly weapon.

Therefore, most of the adventurers in the Sea of ​​Tranquility do not wear such things as armor, and even leather armor is rarely equipped.

For example, the leather armors on Helena's body, you can tell at a glance that they have not been used a few times, and they should be stockpiled at the bottom of the warehouse just in case.

As for the weapons, Helena used a pair of double knives, which were inserted on both sides of her waist. Mata and Illya use the same two-handed sword.

In addition, several women also carried packages, which should contain some food, drinking water, and emergency supplies. The difference from Ethan's package was that there were no firearms and ammunition. This is all standard equipment for adventurers, nothing special.

Moving towards the depths of the island, Ethan and others were not advancing very fast because they did not know what danger they would encounter. But I was worried that I couldn't stay in this place for too long, and I couldn't delay the advance speed because of caution, so several people worked together, each focused on one direction, and then moved forward as fast as possible.

Ethan and Helena walked at the forefront, one focused on the left and front left, and the other on the right and front right. Marta and Eliza were responsible for the security of the rear, and they walked all the way for an hour, and no one encountered any danger.

"Perhaps this island has too strong negative energy, so as long as you are careful to be eroded by this force, there is no danger?"

The strange environment made Ethan not dare to take it lightly, but he still had to think in a good direction. It would be a lot easier for them that way, but soon he realized something was wrong.

"Where did that group of people... go?"

In a word, not only reminded himself, but also reminded Helena and several others.

Before, like Ethan, they felt that they might be a little too nervous. This island is obviously very safe!

But Ethan's words made them suddenly wake up, where did the group of people go before? This group of people is reckless, it is impossible to carefully clean up the traces of themselves and others, right?

"You... did anyone notice the footprints or something just now?"

Everyone looked down at their feet. The dark soil on the island was not hard, and it was even a little soft to step on, so there were inevitably a row of footprints along the way.

Looking back, their footprints are still very clear, but only the footprints of themselves and others are the biggest abnormality.

"The route we came in before should be not much different from those people..." Helena recalled the route of her and others' progress. Even if they walked along the way, they were a little bit different from the group of people, but they did not meet any traces. , unless the group went straight to the other side of the island, rather than the center.

If you think about it, you will know that it is impossible. It is the consensus of almost all adventurers to give priority to the center of the island. They are excluded from the inside out. Except for some unfounded speculation, this search method is also because the island does not know when it will sink. , the search from the inside out is also conducive to evacuation.

"Anyway...be careful..."

Everyone raised caution again and moved forward slowly. All the way to the center of the island smoothly.

Looking at the cave in front of him that exudes a stronger aura of death, everyone shuddered uncontrollably.
