"Oh no, where is Kate?？”Junero had already arrived at the place where Kate had been attacked. He held a kerosene lamp and could clearly see a few corpses lying on the ground. He recognized them. They were all members of Kate's group. The pirate who had vowed to protect Kate had already been decapitated. He had been shot by several arrows. It was probably done by humans. The enemy was simply too cruel.
Junero started searching the surroundings, hoping to find traces of Kite. Soon, he found a corpse. It looked like it was naked. Arrows were scattered all over the ground. There were a few scratches on its body, and it looked like it had been attacked by a wild beast. These should be the people who attacked Kate. They were probably the natives of the turtle shell. The strange thing was that these giant creatures that wanted to dive to the bottom of the sea could actually live on the turtle shell. It was simply unimaginable.
Junero was puzzled by the wound on the corpse. Could there be other large beasts in the forest? Junero called Kite's name again, hoping to get a response. However, he was disappointed. The forest was silent. Fortunately, there were a few new corpses in the surroundings. It seemed that they had died from the attacks of wild beasts. Junero followed the direction of the corpses and could vaguely sense that Kite was not far ahead.
"Halt!" There was a shout in the darkness, and Junero heard a hissing sound. He knew it was the sound of a sword being unsheathed. He had no idea where the other party was in the dark forest, so he could only look for him based on the direction of the sound. He stopped and looked in that direction.
"Crack, crack!"
The woman's every step made a crisp sound of metal colliding. She walked very slowly and carefully. Junero could feel that she was full of vigilance against him.
"Miss, I have no ill intentions." Junero said, trying his best to look harmless. After all, he did not know the other party's intentions.
Not long after, the woman walked out from the shadows. Her eyes were bright and spirited, her eyebrows were trimmed, her nose was straight, and there were dimples on her cheeks. She was really beautiful. The light shone on her face, making her snow-white face rosy. The woman's blue eyes had a hint of the blue of the sea. Her golden hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying at the back of her head. She looked very cute. Although she was wearing a heavy silver armor, it could not hide her graceful body. The majestic existence in front of his chest made people's imaginations run wild.
"What do you do? Why are you here?" The woman raised the sword in her hand and pointed it at Junero. Her beautiful eyes were tightly locked, and she was on guard, afraid that Junero would do something extreme.
"I'm a pirate. My name is Junero. I mean no harm. My brother is lost here. I'm here to look for him. Have you seen him? It was a little brat, about 1.5 meters tall.”Junero could tell that the woman in front of him was not the one who attacked Kate and the others. After all, there was no blood on her. Junero recognized the sword in her hand. It was a Western sword, but she didn't have any killing intent. Judging from her temperament, Junero guessed that this woman was a lady from a wealthy family who had come out to " play " in order to stimulate someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see any little ghosts, nor did I see any living people.”She was not disgusted by Junero's simple self-introduction. Looking at Junero's harmless face, the woman believed his words for the time being. She put down the sword in her hand and sheathed it.
"Miss, may I ask if you can tell me your name? Do you know what those people in the forest do? What else is inside?" Junero asked, hoping to get some useful information from this woman.
"My name is Reyne. Stukar, a descendant of a pirate.”Junero could tell at a glance that this was a lie. A pirate with such a temperament definitely couldn't be nurtured. She was definitely a daughter of a wealthy family. However, that wasn't important. The important thing was to find information about Kate. "These primitive people have lived here for generations, but they weren't like this in the past. They used to be a group of very well-behaved people, but I don't know when they started to become ferocious and very xenophobic, as if they were controlled by something. I only came here recently to understand what caused them to be like this.”
"Their nature isn't like this?"
"Yes, I don't know when they became like this. Now, he looked delirious and his eyes were glowing red. He was quite aggressive. I've been investigating here for a month, but I haven't found any important information yet.”Reyne saw that Junero didn't have any ill intentions, so she told Junero everything she knew in the past month.
"Eh? Previously, when the World Turtle was under the sea, how could you and them survive?”Junero asked curiously. After all, he had seen the World Turtle lift his entire fleet from the water with his own eyes. He could not imagine how these people spent their time on the World Turtle.
"Sigh, this is all thanks to this strange forest. When the forest entered the seabed, a huge bubble would form around the forest, enveloping the entire forest. Seawater could not penetrate the bubbles, so the people here could live under the sea with the World Turtle.”Reyne answered Junero's question. She had done the same when she first arrived. She had been quite frightened at that time. She did not expect the World Turtle to dive. Fortunately, she had personally experienced the World Turtle dive in the forest. The forest created bubbles that enveloped the entire forest.
Thank you very much, Reyne." Junero prepared to leave. After all, there was no news of Kate here. It seemed that he had to continue searching.
" Wait, Junero!" Seeing that Junero was about to leave, Reyne hurriedly stopped him." I heard some movement in the forest earlier. It came from the direction of the primitive village. It looks like they're chasing something or someone.”
" Thank you, Reyne." Junero's eyes lit up. He was most likely chasing after Kite. Kite had good eyesight and was very agile. He believed that those primitive people wouldn't be able to catch up to him. "I wonder if you can take me to their village. After all, you're more familiar with this place.”
"Okay, I can also take a look at what the people in that village have become. Before, they weren't all like this. It felt like an infectious disease. Slowly, the number of people who became ferocious increased.”Reyne actually wanted to take a look at the village of the primitive people because she needed to investigate them. Their strange behavior was exactly the same as the spell that the wizard she met before used. They were both controlled, so she had to find a way to break free of this control because there was an important matter that she had to solve.
