Chapter 281 Weird ruins everywhere
"Hiss..."
The glutton neighed and swooped over the sailboat, the strong wind carrying it blowing the sails.
Wow...
The sailboat shook violently several times, and Rhaegar staggered and almost fell over.
Barely able to steady his body, Lei Jia was stunned and said: "Glutton, what's wrong?"
Watching the glutton circling rapidly, I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Ever since entering the Sea of Smoke, Gluttony has been a little abnormally vigilant.
Until he was attacked by the stone people, the glutton conveyed his restless mood and acted very angry.
"Hiss..."
The glutton sensed the driver's exploration, shook its dragon head, neighed, and flapped its wings in vent.
Seeing this situation, Lei Jia looked solemn and felt troubled.
As his thoughts turned, he unconsciously glanced at the land in the distance and ordered: "Stop and go ashore!"
The Sea of Smoke is an ominous place.
From the moment they entered, they had been in a dark and depressing environment.
It’s hard to catch a sunny day, so it’s better to simply take a rest.
"Yes, sir."
After experiencing the volcanic eruption and the attack by the stone people, the sailors and mercenaries were also exhausted physically and mentally, and quite agreed with the proposal of going ashore.
Rhaegar took the chart from Robert's hand and patiently observed and analyzed it.
In their haste to evacuate, they were somewhat off course.
However, according to the marks on the chart, the distance was much closer and we did not lose our way.
The sailboat drifted for half a day and finally arrived not far from the land.
The so-called running to death at Wangshan.
With land right in front of us, sailing would take a lot of time.
The sailor anchored the sailboat outside the rocks on the edge of the beach and dropped the anchor.
Plop——
Several small boats entered the sea and rowed to the beach.
"Hiss..."
The glutton landed first, his green vertical eyes cold and ruthless, and an irritated growl erupted from his throat.
As soon as Rhaegar landed, he immediately ran forward and said nervously: "Glutton, my man, are you okay?"
call--
The glutton shook his head and hit his nose hard, causing the driver to stagger with the smelly air waves.
"Dude, don't do this."
Rhaegar covered his mouth and nose and approached with open hands.
They have been together for many years and have a deep relationship with each other.
The glutton stared at him, slowly lowered the dragon's head, twisted its body and crawled to the ground.
"Good boy..."
Rhaegar's eyes were full of concern, and he put his hands around the glutton's ferocious dragon kiss, rubbing it hard with his palms.
His dragon loved the close touch, which calmed its emotions.
The glutton gasped and reluctantly arched, accepting the driver's comfort.
After a while, Rhaegar asked softly: "Man, does the sea of smoke make you uneasy?"
"Roar……"
The glutton growled, his green vertical eyes flashing with disgust.
"I understand, let's hold on for two more days."
Lei Jia had a guess in his mind. It was probably something in the sea of smoke that was affecting the dragon.
A similar scene happened to him not long after he trained his dragon.
On Crab Claw Peninsula, Gluttony refuses to enter the Swamp of Despair and has a strong killing intent towards the shadow half-dragon that imitates it.
Fortunately, the glutton at this moment was connected with him and remained rational and obedient.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
The glutton calmed down, closed his vertical pupils tightly, and lay down on the beach to take a nap.
Under the warm sunshine, relax your body from time to time and feel the heat of the sun.
Rhaegar rubbed its dark scales and retreated.
On the other side of the beach, mercenaries held scimitars and kept pushing back several guys dressed as sailors.
Rhaegar came over and recognized the identities of several sailors.
Patients infected with greyscale on a smuggling ship.
These guys also wanted to beg Rhaegar to let them go and take them back for treatment.
Rega was in no mood to pay attention and said calmly: "Drive them away. This land is already their gift."
Most people deal with greyscale patients by just finding a remote corner near the sea of smoke and dumping them.
Now we have found a piece of land with green plants and fresh water, which is enough for these greyscale patients to spend the last period of time when their sanity disappears.
The mercenaries followed the instructions and led the greyscale patients in chains and drove them to the hillside behind the beach.
Rega turned a blind eye and ordered: "Rest where you are for the night and set off tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
…
The next day.
At noon, the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
A huge black dragon cut through the sea level, grabbed a big fish with its hind legs, and threw it into the dragon's kiss as if it was wedged between its teeth.
Behind the dragon, the three-masted sailing ship sailed slowly into a narrow tributary.
On the deck, Rhaegar held the railing in his hand and closed his eyes to face the sea breeze.
Before I knew it, Robert's surprised voice sounded: "Sir, we can see the ruins of the stone bridge ahead."
Rhaegar raised his eyelids upon hearing this.
As soon as you see it, the tributaries are relatively narrow. The ridges on the north and south sides are covered with vegetation. A huge ruin with messy rocks appears not far ahead.
The ruins are huge, very huge!
There are more than ten miles of sea spanning the north and south banks, and occasionally one or two bridge piers are exposed.
But the bridge has long since collapsed, leaving only the dilapidated buildings on both sides that can vaguely see its former glory.
The iconic ruins appeared in front of him, and Rhaegar was extremely happy: "Speed up the sailing, we are almost at our destination."
Robert was also very excited, shouting and urging the helmsman and sailors.
The sailboat immediately increased its speed and moved along the coast of the ruins of the stone bridge, which was a long distance.
Gradually, haze appeared again on the sea, blocking clear sight.
With the contrast of the clear sky, Rega sniffed and frowned unconsciously.
The haze has a strong sulfur smell mixed with a faint stench.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, there seemed to be some fine particles mixed with the haze.
Rega's eyes were deep and he murmured to himself: "The harmful minerals left behind by the volcanic eruption."
After taking two deep breaths, my lungs felt a little stuffy.
Rega vaguely noticed that this should be one of the factors that made the glutton restless.
The haze of the sea of smoke is mixed with substances that make the dragon uncomfortable.
"Prince, there is an unusual pile of rocks that may be your destination."
Robert came over with a chart and swallowed excitedly.
Once you reach your destination, it’s not far away to return home.
At that time, he will be able to receive a large amount of gold that will be enough for him to enjoy himself for the rest of his life.
"Ashore, remember to leave some people to guard the sailboat."
Rhaegar also saw the pile of rocks in the distance that could only be described as "magnificent" and gave his orders cautiously.
The pile of chaos was simply a hill of piled stones.
Dark walls could be vaguely seen on all sides, covered in ruins by rocks and rotten wood.
The sailboat docked on the coast, and Rhaegar led fifty mercenaries ashore and rushed to the pile of rocks.
The entrance to the ruins was easily found through the marks left by the smuggling ship.
It was a dark cave hidden in the center of the ruins, with only a corner exposed.
The entrance to the cave is densely covered with messy footprints.
Rega frowned slightly, selected a few of the most skilled mercenaries, and ordered: "You go down first to explore the situation."
"Yes, sir."
Several mercenaries did not hesitate and walked into the cave one after another holding torches.
Anyone who is capable in this line of work is a master who cares about money rather than his life.
Rhaegar and his dragon were watching from outside, and they didn't dare to go in.
"Hiss..."
The glutton landed on the ground, stepped on the rocks with his feet, and put his head back and forth to smell the smell.
Rhaegar felt a little strange, and the boots under his feet swept across the footprints at the entrance of the cave.
After waiting left and right, several beams of fire appeared at the entrance of the cave. A mercenary emerged from the cave with cold sweat on his forehead: "Sir, there is a deep passage in the cave, and there are some weird things in it."
Rega's thoughts turned and he simply said: "Leave a small team to guard the entrance of the cave, and the rest will follow me."
The mercenaries who explored the road were fine, they just said there were some "weird" things.
Eighty percent of the time there is no danger, but there are some situations that are beyond common sense.
boom--
Jumping into the dark cave, led by the scouting mercenaries, Rhaegar continued to go deeper under the protection of everyone.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, and the tunnel inside gradually widens.
And it is very dry, not as cold and humid as ordinary underground caves.
After a while.
Halfway through the tunnel, something so-called weird appeared.
Karcha——
A mercenary accidentally stepped on a bone and when he lowered his head, he discovered that it was a skeleton.
The skeleton is human, covered in old armor.
There are many similar skeletons, more than a dozen scattered here and there.
"grown ups."
A mercenary looked puzzled, lay down on a piece of breastplate, and handed it over respectfully.
Rhaegar held up the torch and shined. The left chest of the breastplate was engraved with the emblem of a roaring lion.
Rhaegar was familiar with this emblem and asked in surprise: "Lannister?"
I checked the breastplates of other skeletons and found that they all had the emblem of the Lannister family.
There is no doubt that these remains are those of House Lannister soldiers.
Robert broke a bone with his foot and marveled: "Sir, the bones will break when touched. They are very old."
Rhaegar did not respond, inexplicably remembering a legendary past event of the Lannister family.
"Forget it, move on."
Time waits for no one, Rhaegar shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind.
"Sir, look, this is it!"
At this time, the mercenaries who explored the path hurriedly returned, pointing eagerly at the corner of the tunnel.
Rhaegar cast his gaze and saw several different remains.
His body was covered with greyscale sores, his joints were twisted and limp on the ground, and the smelly blood soaked the soil.
"Shi Min's body is still fresh!"
Rhaegar perked up and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate.
Each of these stone people was as skinny as a stick, and their eyes were wide open when they died, with blood coming out of their mouths.
The fatal injuries were on the chest, neck and head.
It seemed that a spear had penetrated the whole body, leaving a bloody hole.
"This is not a spear wound."
Rhaegar's eyes flickered and he made a direct judgment.
He is good at using spears, and naturally he also knows what the wounds of spears look like.
The wounds on Shi Min's body were smooth and surprisingly large.
It was as if a bloody hole had been forcefully dug out.
Rhaegar had seen similar wounds like this.
The shadow monster left behind by the Shadowbinder attacks like tentacles, directly penetrating the human body.
At this thought, the alarm bells in Rega's heart rang loudly, and he said vigilantly: "Everyone ensures that the torches are burning and the tunnel is illuminated as much as possible!"
Seok Min's body was left recently, and the blood had just dried.
There may be unknown creatures like shadow monsters in the tunnel.
Flame is an indispensable defensive weapon.
