Chapter 1176 Landing on Hewlett Island
Chapter 1176 Landing on Hewlett Island
Strictly speaking, this island lies less than 800 nautical miles from the southern island of the Kingdom of Revendreth. Centuries ago, it served as a distribution center for Revendreth's goods. However, after the second eruption of the active volcano hundreds of years ago, the last residents chose to migrate away. Hewlett Island has since become a semi-explored island, with only scientific expeditions with a full team of meteorologists occasionally setting foot on the island.
In Zhou Ning's previous life, when he arrived on Hewlett Island for the quest to become a fire mage, the island's ecology was already somewhat unique. Perhaps due to the influence of the weather and tides, the island's climate was beyond description, changing almost every ten minutes. Zhou Ning had nearly died miserably while completing this quest, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Of course, with my current strength, it is enough to crush them.
Zhou Ning came to the deck. At this time, the team of meteorologists from the royal family of Revendreth had already started to get busy. After reaching the demigod level, meteorologists can control many weather factors, but more and more props need to be prepared.
The group of players on the Lina were extremely excited at this time, chattering non-stop and wishing they could jump into the water and swim over.
"Damn, I'm so excited! I heard that there are a lot of powerful monsters and savages on this island. Will a pretty boy like me be in danger?" Super Blue Cat said excitedly.
"No, they look down on you. I'm the one who should be worried." Brother Tangshan said quietly.
"You are all no match for me. Do you know why I am called the national husband? I am the one who should be worried." Shuidi Chenxing interrupted.
Jinse cast a disdainful glance at the three of them and couldn't help but chuckle. They had the nerve to call themselves pretty boys?
Zhou Ning curled his lips, inexplicably feeling a little annoyed to see them doing nothing, so he casually assigned them a task, asking them to assist the meteorologist team in transporting props.
The advantage of having a high status in the players' hearts is that they will never refuse any request from Zhou Ning. At this time, it was like winning the first prize, and they couldn't wait to surround the group of meteorologists.
Because the ancient city of Waters had become a secret kingdom of God, even Zhou Ning was unable to capture its specific location in a short period of time. He could only use the "compass that cannot point north" that Zhou Ning got from the Pirates of the Caribbean world to find the location.
Therefore, just like the Hood Island adventure at that time, this adventure team had to set up camp and rest first, and at the same time detect and collect meteorological data on the island before setting off early the next morning.
This is also something that cannot be done.
……
At 1453:10 pm on October 8, 11, the Lina passed through a hurricane area and successfully arrived west of Hewlett Island and anchored.
There is a renovated ancient elven-style port here, and there are ships anchored there on the island. They are several official demigods from the "Iron Ho Faction", an intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Revendreth. They had brought people to this island a day or two ago and had already set up a camp.
What surprised Zhou Ning a little was that almost all of these official demigods were injured, and in the port, in addition to a few ships flying the flag of the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth, there were countless ships with flags of various colors anchored there. There were almost hundreds of ships densely packed there, including passenger ships, merchant ships, pirate ships, and even warships. It looked like a ship graveyard.
But at this moment, there was no sign of life on any of the ships. It was quiet and indescribably strange.
After the fleet docked, Zhou Ning stepped off the Lina. Then, like wild dogs on a loose rein, the players followed, curiously surveying the surrounding scene. XB, along with a group of players, surrounded the official demigods, asking questions from time to time:
"Have you eaten? Are you hungry? I brought a lot of delicious food here."
"How did you get hurt? Can I help you get revenge?"
"Do you have any missions there? I can do anything!"
They were defeated on the spot. Seeing this scene, Leonardo covered his eyes with exhaustion.
On the contrary, several heroes who opened the door were carrying various equipment with proud looks on their faces. They didn't look like they were doing hard labor, but rather as if they had picked up money.
At this time, seeing Zhou Ning, the eyes of several official demigods lit up. The current official demigod broke free from the encirclement, came to Zhou Ning, bowed reverently, and said in a deep voice:
"Great God of Knowledge and Desire, my name is Frick. By order of His Majesty the King, we have set up camp along the river in advance. We have also prepared food and drinking water, and we are ready to camp and rest at any time."
That's very thoughtful... Zhou Ning smiled and nodded, "Well done."
Jasmine raised her Life Staff at this moment, and the light shone through it, healing the wounds on the opponent's body. Then, Zhou Ning casually asked:
"What are the injuries on you? Who left all those boats at the dock?"
Frick showed a lingering fear on his face and smiled bitterly:
"You may not believe this, but the ones driving these ships and attacking us were all animals. Although their levels were uneven and there weren't any strong ones, there were simply too many of them. It took a lot of effort for us to repel them."
"We've been stationed here for three days now. Every day, countless animals arrive on the island via boats, some even from the sky or the sea. They follow a demon and continue to penetrate deeper into the island. Only today did they stop."
Zhou Ning nodded slightly thoughtfully, looked at Frick deeply, and said nothing.
This was consistent with what he knew. The final destination of those migrating animals that had mastered various knowledge should be the ancient city of Waters on the island.
However, the closer Zhou Ning got to the ancient city of Waters, the more uneasy he felt. The island seemed to have a "secret" effect that weakened his inspiration, but the feeling of uneasiness and crisis was always like a thorn in his side.
If I remember correctly, the God of Death should have the power of "secret".
The players pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation between Zhou Ning and Frick. In their opinion, this should be a cutscene of the main quest, and they should be able to analyze a lot of useful information.
But to their disappointment, Zhou Ning did not say much, but followed several Tiehuo sect demigods directly to the camp prepared in advance.
The camp is less than 2 kilometers away from here, and the scenery along the way makes Zhou Ning feel a little unfamiliar.
In his impression, Hewlett Island was half covered with lush green forests, and the other half was active volcanoes and scorched earth, with elemental monsters everywhere.
But at this time, the more active breath on the island was the dark green breath of death, forming a strange situation where the breath of death, life elements and fire elements coexisted and were active together, and a strong breath of divinity remained.
There were piles of blood everywhere on the road, but no bodies were found. Clouds of dark green mist, as if solidified, filled the air.
This is obviously not normal.
Jasmine's voice rang in Zhou Ning's mind:
"Wayne, be alert. I feel there are many evil auras around."
