Chapter 1297 Returning To Devil Maw Island (7)(Chapter Preview)
"You guys should have noticed by now, right?" After walking for a while in the forest, Mad Eye, who was leading the way, suddenly muttered something. No one knew who he was talking to.
"Go your way, we know what we're doing." Two seconds later, neesru, who was following him, took the opportunity to answer, and then turned back quietly, giving brother garlic and the others a look.
Brother garlic understood and slowed down his pace. He waited for the Pirates to pass by and slowly walked to Blackbeard's side.
"Captain." As soon as brother garlic called him Captain, Blackbeard said,"don't worry. If you encounter any situation, you can act according to the situation."
"Yes." Hearing this, brother garlic nodded respectfully and rushed back to the restaurant.
From the perspective of others, the conversation between these guys might be a little confusing and inexplicable, but the people involved knew very well that they were discussing the same thing. There must be someone else in the forest.
From the broken branches, the rocks on both sides of the road, the tracks of heavy objects, and so on, he deduced that a large group of people had collected all kinds of materials in the forest and moved them to a certain place.
Although he didn't know if they were trying to hoard supplies or build some kind of facility, no matter what the situation was ... It was highly likely that these people were still in the vicinity of devil's mouth Island.
In other words ... The Pirates, as "latecomers," could encounter these unknown people at any time, or even have a conflict with them.
........
Buzz buzz buzz
The worst situation happened five minutes later.
Accompanied by a strange muffled sound, Mad eye's footsteps stopped.
"It's a magic array. " Mad Eye was calm. Even though he was cuffed and his combat power was restricted, he still had the demeanor of a Captain.
"Don't move first. " Neesru quickly saw that Mad eye's right foot had stepped into the edge of a huge array. Therefore, he quickly opened his arms and stopped his companions behind him. The entire pirate exploration team also stopped for a moment.
"Hmph ..." Mad Eye sneered and raised the shackles on his hands."Do you think I dare to move around in my current state?"
Neesru didn't pay attention to him. He just looked to the left and right of the forest, and then stepped forward to check the array.
At this moment, the activated magic circle was emitting a faint light and constantly letting out a soft buzzing sound. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see that some of the rune lights were flowing in a straight line in the air above the formation. On the ground, there were also clear light patterns floating.
Neesru looked out along the edge of the array and found that the arc on the edge was very small and extended into the distance ... It could be seen that this array covered a very large area in front of them.
"You can understand it?" Seeing neeslu's focused expression, the Mad Eye was a little expectant.
"No, I don't understand at all." Neesru didn't beat around the bush and simply gave a very honest answer.
"Then why are you pretending to see it?" Frenzied eye was not polite to him. Even though he had become a prisoner, he still said whatever he wanted to say.
"Ha ... It's normal to take a look." Before neesru could reply, Feng bujue's voice rang out."Just like those people who have an engine that explodes, even though they know nothing about machinery, they can still lift the engine cover and stand there for a long time ... As if they can fix the car by just looking at it."
As they spoke, brother Jue had already walked up from behind.
Mad Eye looked back at him and snorted,""Hmph ... Look at your leisurely attitude. I'm sure you can understand it, right?"
"Of course you can." Feng bujue replied.
In reality, Feng bujue could really 'understand' the formation this time. Even if he didn't use the data point of view to "analyze" it, he could understand the principle.
This was because ...
"This is one of the sensing circles of The Phantom church." As brother Jue spoke, he walked to Mad Eye and, without warning, patted him on the back.
Mad Eye was caught off guard by this sudden move and was immediately pushed a few steps forward, his entire body entering the formation.
"What are you doing?" Mad Eye, who had regained his balance, turned around and roared at brother Jue.
"I'm just using my actions to tell everyone that this formation is not offensive. " Feng bujue replied calmly.
When he finished speaking, Mad Eye also looked down at himself. He had indeed not suffered any injuries.
"Then you can come in by yourself! Why are you pushing me?" Frenzied eye was still a little depressed, so he added.
"What are you saying ... What if I misjudged? You dying is better than me dying. " Feng bujue used his actions to prove that ... Arguing with him would only make him more depressed.
Upon hearing that, frenzied eye's anger points shot up.
Feng bujue did not want to continue teasing this honest captive on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject.""To put it bluntly, it's like a string with a Bell. It's mainly used to inform the person who set up the formation ... That someone has entered the range of the formation."
"How do you know so much?" The Mad Eye asked again.
Brother Jue shrugged."I once asked Talim, who is in charge of this, to show me the diagrams and functions of all the regular magic circles of the church of illusion. Actually, there aren't that many ... About a hundred, and most of them have a certain pattern. I can draw some of them."
"From what you're saying ... You're friends with The Phantom church?" Mad Eye asked.
"There is." As Feng bujue said that, he walked into the formation and gave neesru a look, signaling that they could continue."But that kind of friendship ... Might not be trustworthy at the critical moment."
Neesru got his instructions and motioned for the people behind to follow, so the team started moving again.
"Hmph ... Using each other, is it?" Mad Eye asked as he continued on his way.
"More or less." "My philosophy is that as long as there is no absolute conflict in terms of principles, when there is a common interest, we can work together," Feng bujue said.
"Hehe ... It sounds like you and Blackbeard are in that kind of relationship." Frenzied eye was also an experienced person and immediately revealed the truth.historical
"You don't need to worry about this." Feng bujue did not have much of a reaction to that. He continued calmly,"for now, you should try to survive this situation first."
While the two of them were conversing, the 30-man pirate exploration team had already entered the range of the array.
Starting from that place, Feng bujue left his original position and moved to the front of the team, almost walking side by side with Mad Eye.
Due to his relationship with The Phantom church, it would save him a lot of trouble if he showed up in front of them.
It was not wrong to say that, but ...
........
The atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser as the team moved forward for another ten minutes. Just as the surrounding forest became denser and denser, a change ... Occurred.
Xiu Xiu Xiu
"Be careful!" As neesru shouted, a magic arrow had already arrived.
This arrow was shot from the forest in front of the group, and it was aimed right at Feng bujue's face.
Brother Jue did not panic. With his reaction speed and zero-time difference calculation, he had countless ways to Dodge an attack of this speed. However, to prevent Mad Eye from being affected, brother Jue still used telepathic finger to catch the magic arrow.
"I say ..." As the demonic arrow disappeared, Feng bujue turned to the forest and said,"you should have looked carefully before you attacked. You should have recognized me, right?"
After he said this, he waited for a few seconds, but the only response he got was silence.
"What's wrong?" Brother Jue saw that the attacker did not respond, so he continued,"you think I'm a fake and you're not sure?"
However, after the second question, there was still no movement in the forest.
At that moment, Feng bujue sensed something ...
"Retreat!" One second later, brother Jue's expression changed. He turned around and shouted at the Pirates behind him.
Unfortunately, he was a little too late.
Almost at the same time as he said "retreat," a bright light burst out from the back of the team and shot into the sky.
Intense light energy gushed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption, forming a cylindrical pillar of light that soared into the sky and expanded rapidly, carrying out a terrifying attack on everything in this area.
After the explosion, one could see from a bird 's-eye view of the North Island that ... A circular hole had been blasted out of the island. The boiling sea water in the hole was still billowing with smoke.
