Chapter 32: Loli, I have never abducted you
“Tsk, tsk, two demigods, a bunch of gold, and they still know how to cooperate? Is this the regular army of Serifos?”
Lorne, who was paddling on the edge of the water, sensed the wildly turbulent ether tide on the island, slowed down the oar speed, and glanced at Shuster next to him with a half-smile.
"It seems that His Majesty the King has really spent a lot of money on this."
Houst realized that there was no way to get off the pirate ship. With a sad face, he nodded helplessly and told all the information he knew about this exploration.
It turned out that as his adopted son Perseus grew up and showed extraordinary talents, coupled with his own gradual aging, the ruler of Serifos Island had already felt the urgent pressure and danger. , after all, Greece has a fine tradition of killing fathers and ascending to power.
Hence, he successively issued bounties and sent people to search for the legendary blood of Gorgon.
But most of the conventional civil forces are gone forever.
In the end, King Seriphos, who could no longer wait any longer, simply gathered all the fighting power he had, spent a lot of money to hire followers of Hermes as guides, and devoted himself entirely to this exploration.
However, the result may disappoint him.
The fleet that landed on the island searched the entire abandoned temple, but could not find the legendary Gorgon Banshee.
“Boom!”
The island exploded again with violent explosions, interrupting Shuster's story. Dazzling flames shot up into the sky, and broken arms and limbs flew in all directions.
Seeing the tragic battle situation and the terrifying destructive power of both sides, Shust couldn't help but swallow his saliva and turned pale.
“Who are those people who are chasing you?”
“Atlantis Praetorian Guards…”
“Hiss!”
Hearing that careless answer, the demigod descendant of Hermes broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and cried in agony in his heart.
This is good, not only did they trap the Serifians who were employers, but they also offended the Atlanteans who were roaming the sea.
If you are concerned about your own life, I am afraid that I will basically say goodbye to going to sea to make a living in the future.
At this moment, as strong vibrations came one after another, huge waves began to rise on the entire sea surface. Even the boat the two of them were riding in kept swaying from side to side, and the ether factor content in the air was also rising. .
Lorne's eyebrows knitted together, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
Something's wrong, those Atlanteans have been crippled by him, they shouldn't be so strong...
And the source of the vibration does not seem to come from the ground, but... from the underground? !
After a brief pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head to look at the constantly shaking island.
“Boom—!”
At the same time, there was a roar of earth-shattering, and ferocious cracks in the ground tore open the entire island, as if leading straight to the abyss where Hades was.
The rustling sounds of climbing snakes and the neighing sounds came in the darkness, like steel needles piercing everyone's hearts and eardrums.
Panic, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions are spreading uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, two ferocious and huge shadows gradually emerged with terrifying outlines in the rich night.
That is a monster with a purple snake tail on its lower body and a human female on its upper body.
That is a goddess with golden wings and a cold and beautiful appearance.
—Gorgon, Gorgon!
"boom!"
The claws covered with snake scales crossed the abyss and climbed up the broken temple square, and the two towering figures like hills rose further.
The etheric magic factors that gathered crazily towards the invisible island were excited and active in the air, and the purple-red light produced by fierce friction illuminated most of the dark sky.
In an instant, the powerful magic reaction made Lorne's eyelids jump on the sea, and goose bumps exploded on his back.
Divinity level! two!
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Shuster aside, and spoke dryly.
“Are you sure you are here to hunt them?”
"I don't know either! The higher-ups said they were just gods and monsters who escaped from the Arima Crypt, and they were at best demigods!"
The demigod descendant of Hermes also swallowed furiously, his upper and lower teeth couldn't stop chattering, with a look of horror on his face.
Two demigods, plus a pile of gold, and a demigod descendant of Hermes as external aid. This lineup is definitely enough to deal with three monsters that are also most demigods.
unless…
At this time, the two Gorgon banshees on the island had transformed into their complete forms and had already started a **** massacre against the intruders.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Dense purple-red beams of light passed across the sky and fell to the ground like a meteor shower. The entire temple square was plowed several times in an instant.
The red and black scorched earth mixed with flesh and blood limbs was scattered everywhere, and conical pits tens of meters deep were emitting wisps of blue smoke.
With just one blow, seven or eight people on both sides of Serifos and Atlantis were dead.
These remaining ones are all genuine gold-level elites!
“That old coffin scooper from Serifos Island is actually playing tricks on me!”
At this time, after witnessing the tragic situation on the island and experiencing a flash of lightning in his head, Shuster couldn't help but start to curse.
“Not necessarily…”
The low voice on the side brought the frightened Xiu back to reality and murmured faintly.
"It's possible that they were only demigods when they first landed on this island, but in order to fight against the constant pursuit and survive, just before you arrived, they successfully broke through their original ranks and upgraded to full gods. …”
As for the specific reason, Lorne vaguely guessed it based on the few things he had picked up from the Serifos warship. He opened the magic circle, took out a few stone slabs engraved with wavy secret texts, and took a deep look at the unrecognizable abandoned temple on the island, his lips and teeth moving silently.
Old sea **** Pontos didn't expect that this was his former temple.
But after careful calculation, this is not surprising.
After all, this ancient **** has been regarded as a model worker in Greece since his death. Not only did he make gold coins everywhere, he also greatly enriched the ecology of the primitive ocean and left an endless legacy.
I am afraid that the three Gorgon sisters who were originally hunted and conquered were able to be successfully promoted on this invisible island with almost nothing except waves and stones because they licked the bag of the old sea **** Pontos. Inherited part of the ocean's blessings.
Therefore, in Greek mythology, the three Gorgon sisters have the names of "the daughters of the demon ancestor Typhon and the snake mother Echidna" and "the daughters of Phorcys, the father of monsters, and Ceto, the mother of sea monsters" Two conjectures about the origin of identity.
By the way, although Phorcys, the father of all monsters, and Ceto, the mother of sea monsters, are the children of the old sea **** Pontos and the parents of the three Gorgon sisters, their bloodline and divinity seem to be more pure than those three. .
However, the future demigod hero Perseus only used Medusa's head to turn Ceto, the so-called mother of sea monsters, into stone.
Obviously, the three Gorgon sisters are the more perfect successors.
At this time, Lorne couldn't help but feel a little scared when he looked at the two Gorgon banshees who were constantly exuding divine pressure on the island and began to violently clear the area.
The constant pursuit and harassment from the outside world have made the three sisters deeply wary and hostile to outsiders.
Not long ago, after receiving the legacy of the old sea **** Pontos through some means, they did not disappear. They just sneaked into the temple to sleep underground, waiting for promotion.
Those outsiders who broke into their territory accidentally bumped into the muzzle of the gun, waking them up in advance.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't rush up to get close to him immediately, otherwise I might have died without knowing how.
Lorne once again felt lucky for his wisdom and caution. At the same time, he grabbed the oar and prepared to evacuate this dangerous area as soon as possible.
Even if you want to have a good relationship with the three Gorgon sisters, now is not the time.
Save your life first, let's talk about it later.
Lorne thought as he increased the speed of the paddle.
However, as the sound of waves spread and touched the island, his heart suddenly twitched, and a sudden strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously. His whole body was like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark, and a biting chill instantly spread throughout his body.
“Get down~!”
With the low roar that came out of his mouth, Lorne's expression changed and he threw him down without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, the snake's vertical pupils flashed with madness and anger, glaring coldly towards the sea.
The four eyes met each other, and Houston, who was caught off guard, felt his body sink, and his consciousness continued to fall and sink in the darkness.
“Tsk!”
The next moment, the purple magic eye opened and closed, and a beam of magic power compressed to the extreme swept across the sea, setting off huge waves and plunging the sea into chaos and darkness.
Finally, the night comes to an end and dawn comes.
The turbulence and chaos of the deep sea are washed away with the ray of sunshine rising in the morning.
“Crash!”
With a crisp sound of water coming out, a tall figure soaked in water rolled over from the water onto a small boat floating quietly on the sea.
“Ahem…”
Lorne lay on the deck, coughing slightly, then looked at the calm surroundings, lay down exhausted, and gasped for air.
Is this the difference between demigods and gods? Isn't it too scary?
After a brief rest, Lorne cursed and stood up. His wandering eyes looked at the half-shaped human sculpture on the deck, and he shook his head helplessly.
“I told you to lie down but you didn't listen. It's fine now. This time Zeus can't save you even if he comes.”
After a few seconds of silence for a certain unlucky Hermes blood descendant, Lorne raised his hand and threw half of the stone sculpture into the deep sea. He sat on the deck and looked at the unfamiliar sea around him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Without a guide and no idea of the direction, where should I go now?
As depression welled up in his heart, Lorne couldn't help but curse the several culprits who caused this unprovoked accident.
Three eldest ladies, I'm just passing by, do you have to shoot a map cannon at me?
“Click!”
Just as a victim was complaining with grief and anger, a strange cracking sound came from the cabin beneath his feet.
Following this, there was also a familiar smell that made his blood pressure soar.
Gorgon!
Lorne stiffly turned his neck, forced a dry smile on his face, and looked at the open cabin behind him. His eyes gradually changed from false flattery to doubt, and finally settled into complex astonishment.
In the deepest part of the bilge, piles of secret slates and bronze sacrificial vessels slid down, revealing the outline of a giant purple-red cocoon half a man's height. It rose and fell with the frequency of breathing, sounding like the beating of a heart.
Within that, a petite humanoid silhouette was curling up in the fetal membrane with its arms folded.
The morning sun rises, and a ray of light shines into the dim cabin.
Within the purple-red cocoon membrane, a pair of eyes opened as if feeling something. The pure and unique rectangular pupils looked faintly at the figure standing outside the fetal membrane.
The corners of Lorne's mouth twitched slightly, and his thoughts were turbulent.
He now finally knew why only two of the three Gorgon banshees appeared last night, and finally knew why the sisters went crazy and slaughtered all the intruders on the island, and even fired map cannons at him. .
Now, it seems like we are in big trouble!
