he came from the void

The moon that the sailors used to locate was hanging low at the junction of the sea and the sky, and it had been like this since last night, as if the Siren sailed into the infinite eternal night.

But from a geographical point of view, it is impossible for the Shadow Island to have Eternal Night. This is an illusion that everyone can see, and it is not real.

"I can't see anything." Kahn, who found nothing, put down the binoculars and picked up the compass instead.

"In the past few days, I have checked the compass seven or eight times a day, and I can confirm that our direction has not deviated too much. If there is no wind, then paddle forward."

Kahn said with some uncertainty that no one on the entire ship had ever been to Shadow Island, and only he knew that the destination was southeast of Bilgewater.But if you just know the direction, there is no guarantee that you will be able to find the Shadow Island.

Unable to see the change of the moon phase and unable to read the star map, the ship completely lost its direction and could only go by feeling.

"That's the only way to go." Sarah ordered the crew to go down to the cabin to paddle. As long as it is a sailboat, oars will be prepared for use when there is no wind.

Kahn also followed, supervising the work of the sailors.

He immediately sensed that the atmosphere in the cabin was not good. The phantom of Yong Ye caused everyone to have their own anxiety, and they didn't put their minds on the oars in their hands at all.

Such unaligned oars may change the navigation of the ship, miss the Shadow Island or directly plunge into the core and most dangerous place of the Shadow Island.

Something has to be done to change the status quo.

His eyes aimed at the scimitar on Lei Wen's waist. The hilt was carved with a skull, and he took a step forward and drew it out.

Raven has always boasted that the texture of this machete is the purest sun-steel, and he offered a whole bottle of ten-year-old rum to the bearded lady to buy it.

But Sarah told Kahn that the knife was actually a counterfeit.The workmanship of the gauntlet was too crude to be made by Demacian craftsmen, but she didn't tell Raven.

Raven watched Kahn pull out his beloved scimitar, thinking he was going to do something, so nervous that he hesitated to speak, stretched out his hand towards him and put it down, a little at a loss.

Kahn took the knife, pointed it at the pillar next to it, and knocked loudly.The sound attracted the attention of the sailors, and all eyes turned to him.

"Give me a little relaxation, anxious emotions will resonate with the undead. Do you know what this means?"

No one answered, but everyone had a similar answer in their minds—that's definitely not a good thing.

Kahn returned the knife to Raven, and changed the topic: "If you don't want to be attacked by the undead after nightfall, then think of something happy."

The sailors looked at each other, and one sailor suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Kahn asked.

"I thought of something happy. My wife gave birth to a boy," said the sailor.

"Congratulations, our captain will pay for your son's milk powder when we go back."

Sarah snorted, feeling both angry and funny. As an unmarried woman, she has to pay for other people's milk powder, which is really easy to mislead others.

But for the father of a baby, powdered milk money sounds like more motivation than a few krakens.

Maybe it was the sailor’s sincere smile that infected other people, causing them to think about the word happiness, maybe it was a casino where they made a lot of money playing dice, or spent a good night with a girl who saw the right eye, in short, the atmosphere was very fast It becomes full of enthusiasm, and the evil spirits do not invade.

The Siren finally moved forward steadily.

Two days later, Sarah finally found land.

At the other end of the telescope is an archipelago larger than the Python Islands, surrounded by black mist, looming.

"The black mist, the archipelago, it's the Shadow Island!" After getting Kahn's affirmation, the news spread on the ship, and the sailors came to the ship to see the true face of this legendary island.

The black mist enveloped the archipelago tightly like a shroud, and one could smell an absurd aura from a distance, which was disturbing.

But in the past few days, whenever the name of the Shadow Isles was mentioned, the heavy pressure was overwhelming.

But when they saw the black mist, they felt a sense of relief.

Tangible threats are much easier to deal with than invisible terrors.

"We have to get closer, but we still can't take it lightly!" Sarah said: "There are countless undead lurking in the black mist, eager to get delicious souls. Most undead can only exist by relying on the black mist, but there are many of them Some powerful people can exist alone without the black mist, and some even can control the black mist. In short, be careful, and tell me immediately if there is anything wrong."

Naturally, it was impossible for Sarah to know this out of thin air. These were all she asked from Kahn.

The black mist is the carrier of the curse, it has terrible lethality to the living, it can absorb the vitality of the living invisibly, and is imprisoned in the black mist forever.

If ordinary people enter the black mist without any protection, they will probably walk and then turn around to see that their body has collapsed.

The Siren continued to approach the Shadow Island, during which Kahn and Kai'Sa all came to the deck, holding binoculars and watching the appearance of the island revealed in the gap of the black mist.

Sometimes, luminous spirits can be seen emerging from the black mist, and then swallowed by the black mist in the blink of an eye, disappearing.

And Sarah covered the skin armor and jumped into the black sea.

The closer you get to an island, the easier it is to hit the rocks, and you can't see the hidden reefs under the calm sea on the boat.She didn't want the Siren to be silent here so that no one on the ship could go back, so she could only go down to the sea to explore the water depth and seabed features near the ship.

In order to ensure that she would not be separated from the Siren, Kahn had her go down with a rope tied around her waist.Kahn will always observe the tightness of the rope. If Sarah breaks away from the rope, it means that something happened to her.

The sea water here is icy cold, and completely different from Bilgewater's seas full of piranhas, there is no sign of life in the sea around Shadow Island.

Three clusters of glowing eyes searched underwater, unable to see any signs of life.

The bottom of the sea is full of shipwrecks. Since 1000 years, countless civilizations have wanted to obtain the forbidden magical relics on the Shadow Isle, but most of them have fallen here.

She leaned over and took a closer look, and found that these ships were not sunk by hitting a rock, and there were no sharp reefs around many of the wrecked ships... It was more like being sunk by something.

Are those hulls sunk by sea monsters or something?

Suddenly, there was a pull on the rope, and Sarah immediately surfaced, looking up.

"We can't get any closer." Kahn pointed to the black sandy beach shrouded in black mist on the island: "That's not where we can land. Go around the island to the south and look for a place without black mist."

Chapter 293 Shark Chariot

Not long after Sarah dived into the water again, a roar suddenly came from the seabed in the distance, causing the black sea water to churn.

The sound continued to come from the front, and it continued to expand, and then a ship wreck tens of meters away suddenly exploded, and a terrifying chariot rushed out!

Sarah swears that she is absolutely right, this is a chariot, a chariot galloping in the sea.

This is the Shadow Island, and the ordinary laws of physics can no longer restrain the strange undead.

A ghost shark with a bloody mouth is pulling a broken but terrifying chariot through the reins. The crazy undead knight stands on the chariot and spurs the shark, rushing towards the Siren.

Sarah suddenly understood how the wrecks on the sea floor came from.Looking at the speed and strength of that shark chariot, it can definitely knock a big hole out of the Siren!

She can't let this undead succeed!

Sarah raised her arm and threw out the crystal pistol, firing a salvo at the Shark Chariot.

The purple arc hit the shark's body, causing a wild flick, and the glowing soul fragments peeled off like tiles.

However, the shark did not collapse because of this. The originally relatively complete form looked completely zombified, exposing bones and gums, and translucent flesh and blood hung on the ethereal bones, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

The undead knight looked at Sarah viciously, using the ghostly will-o'-the-wisp in its eye sockets.

With a piercing scream between its teeth, it turned around and drove the shark chariot towards Sarah, who quickly floated to the surface.

The speed of the Shark Chariot was so fast that Sarah couldn't get out of the water in one breath.She turned and dodged flexibly underwater, and the rope behind her waist was cut off by the knight.

The knight drove the shark to the surface of the sea one step ahead of her, and when he was about to turn around and rush back, the scorching missile arrived as expected, blasting him and the chariot to pieces.

The Shark Chariot exploded into a shiny bubble and disappeared into the darkness.A wisp of black mist gathered from the place where he disappeared, got into the black mist covering the archipelago, and merged into one.

The sea was silent again, and Sarah emerged from the water to see Kai'Sa standing on the figurehead with her shoulder pods spread out behind her.

"Are you all right?" she asked.

"It's okay, it appeared suddenly, and I hardly felt any warning." Sarah swam over and grabbed the broken rope: "But I found that there are no hidden reefs under the sea, so we can speed up. This island is comparable to Bilgewater is several times better, and if we don’t hurry up, we may not be able to complete a full circle in a week.”

"Thank you." Kahn came over and said through the horizontal bar.

He looked at the black fog on the Shadow Isle with meaningful eyes.

"The undead will not really die, its soul returns to the black mist, waiting for the next resurrection. This is the first time, but it will never be the last time, be prepared, it is not absolutely safe outside the black mist Yes, only relatively speaking..."

……

About two days later, after a hook-shaped voyage, Kahn finally saw a small rocky island in the telescope that was not shrouded in black mist.

A pier extends out from the island, and several small boats are moored around it. There is a lonely tavern on the island, which is a boat house built upright with the front half of a ship. There is a faint but warm candlelight emitting from the windows and doors.

"We're here." Looking at the doubtful eyes cast by the other people on the boat, Kahn replied concisely.

The Siren approached like a pier, and immediately two people ran out from the tavern on the island, and one of them, a woman with a prosthetic hook, shouted at them through the waves.

"The boat is too big, don't stop here! It will be discovered by the undead!"

"Then where should we park?" Sarah stood on the front deck and responded loudly, with Kaenkasha and First Officer Raven standing beside her.

"Go back, you shouldn't have come with such a big boat, if you don't make money, you won't have so many rooms for you to live in." The man among the two said.

What the man said made Sarah frowned. She looked at Kahn, and after getting confirmation in his eyes, she replied, "Sorry, it's our first time here. But we can't just leave empty-handed like this."

"Gawen, I will receive my guests, don't meddle in your own business here!" The woman pushed the man, then capsized into a small boat and rowed towards the Siren not far away.

"Okay, you are the proprietress, you have the final say." The man named Gavin said helplessly.

The woman offered to go to the deck of the Siren. She only had one hand and needed help.Sarah was more than happy to do it, and the proprietress seemed enthusiastic.

The sailors used crawling nets to lift the proprietress to the deck, and Sarah took the initiative to introduce her.

"I am Sarah Doom, captain of the Siren."

"Sarah Doom? This is not her real name, but it doesn't matter. The name is just a code name. Many people who come here have their own secrets."

The proprietress carefully fiddled with the crooked prosthetic limb, facing a boat of people of unknown origin, not only did she not have any fear at all, but she said excitedly: "My name is Fayette, and I used to be a captain, but now I don't make money. Miss proprietress who doesn't return. If you want to stay in the store, you must listen to my arrangement. My store has been here for ten years, and no one is more familiar with this area than me."

Sarah nodded: "Is this tavern called No Earning No Return? It's a good name."

"Are you also treasure hunters? Come to the Shadow Isles to find the lost treasure?"

"Yes, we have come to find a sacred object that means a lot to us."

"Do you have a goal? Then I wish you success. If you don't make money, you won't return." Fayette walked to the front deck, squeezed away Kahn and stood in his position, pointed to a reef not far from the direction of Shadow Island and said: "Did you see that huge black reef? It split in two in the middle. You can hide your boat in that crack to avoid being discovered by the undead of the Shadow Isles."

The Siren turned around and sailed towards the black reef. As Fayette said, there was indeed a natural gap in the middle of this huge reef, and the width was just enough for the Siren to pass through.

"I originally wanted to open the tavern here, which is obviously more secluded than the island." Fayette said.

"What made you change your mind?"

"It is the cornerstone of this tavern. It is too heavy to move here. As for what it is, you will know when you get back. Hurry up and drop the anchor, and don't come out to wander after dark."

Crash... The sailors moved, and the heavy iron anchor sank into the sea. Although the sea water near the Shadow Isles hardly fluctuated, it was better to do it just in case.

Then, the proprietress knocked on the bow of the Siren's mermaid with an iron hook, making a bang bang sound, showing no sympathy at all.

"Well, there are only twelve rooms in my tavern, and most of them are full of people. I can only entertain a few of you, so hurry up and choose someone."

"This……"

Chapter 294 If You Don’t Earn, You Can’t Return

"This...can only accommodate a few people?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, the fewer people, the better. You don't need to waste so many rooms if your ship can accommodate people. You don't earn no return. In fact, it was built by the boat I was on when I used it. At that time, my boat ran aground in the On the beach, I was rescued after being trapped for a week. At that time, I was dying. The dog I brought along with me ate the dry food soaked in sea water and died, and an arm was taken away by the screaming ghost... I ran sideways , in short, there is not much difference between living in a tavern and living on a ship."

Looking at the increasingly late sky, Fayette realized that he had to hurry up, so he stopped talking.

"Then let my younger siblings go." Sarah pointed to Kahn and Kaisha.

Kahn is the initiator of the plan, he must stay in the tavern to inquire about information.And Kai'Sa is always inseparable from him, so it is naturally impossible to separate them.

"Aren't you going?" Kahn saw that Sarah didn't say anything about himself, so he asked.

"I won't go for now. I have to stay on the ship and spend the first night with my crew. I will check in after confirming safety."

Sarah felt that all three symbiotes could not be accommodated, otherwise, once the undead struck, the crew of the Siren would not be able to resist effectively.By the time the three of them support the past, I am afraid that the reduction of staff has already occurred.

Seeing that Sarah had her own concerns, Kahn didn't say anything.

He asked the proprietress: "This is the first time we have come to Shadow Island. There are many things we don't understand. Can you tell us how to protect ourselves in the face of the undead?"

"For the black mist, as long as you don't get close to it. And there are many kinds of undead, I can only talk about it in general."

Raven was very discerning. Hearing what Fayette said, he quickly took out the sailing diary and prepared to write.

"In the Shadow Isles, there are many kinds of souls, and there are many ways to expel and destroy them. Some souls are bound to entities, such as armor, weapons or amulets in front of them. As long as the entities are destroyed, in most cases , and their spirit counterparts are destroyed as well. To be sure, sorcery and hextech can harm them, as can silver, blessed, or arcane-infused weapons, and many souls still Afraid of flames and direct sunlight. Think about this question carefully, and ask me in detail later.”

"There may be qualified weapons in Planck's treasure, and Lei Wen will go down with me to have a look later, and take out the ones that are useful for everyone's self-defense," Sarah said.

"Wait, when we came here, we met a shark chariot, did that thing look like this when it was alive?" Raven took down what Fayette said, and asked his own question.

"I haven't seen what you said, but he certainly wasn't like this from the beginning... The appearance of some souls will reflect their core essence over time. And souls with similar temperaments sometimes Merge into a more powerful spirit body, so when you encounter any kind of undead, don't feel strange."

Kahn recalled what the proprietress said, and felt that the Shark Chariot should be a heavy knight full of destructive desires.
