A few minutes later.
When Gounières came to the kitchen, the three deputies of the Demon Whale Adventurer Team were all gathered in the dining room on the second floor of the cabin.
Martel also brought Gounières today's breakfast, which was fish offal with rice.
"Have we arrived at the Shadow Islands?"
Gounières sat down and asked Yassen while eating breakfast.
It was a bit unusual to call Gounières over for breakfast this early in the morning.
"Yes! We're almost there. It can even be said that we've arrived at the edge of the Shadow Islands. "
Gounières heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. They had finally arrived.
While eating breakfast, First Mate Yassen Howell quickly responded.
"The reason why I called you over so early today is because …"
"It's mainly because …" Yassen lowered his voice. "The Merfolk have their eyes on us."
Gounières pondered for a moment before asking, "Haven't the Merfolk been paying attention to us since we entered the Sea of Mist?"
"But it's different this time."
"In the past, it was the Deep Sea Races. They hated us when we sailed on the surface, but they wouldn't go as far as to fight us to the death. "
"As for those few battles, you also know that those fellows fled after suffering."
"This time, it's the Yaksha Fishmen who have their eyes on us."
"Those guys have always considered the Misty Shadow Islands to be their clan's sacred land."
"They don't allow anyone to touch them or even land on them."
"If there are more than a dozen demonic sea ships coming over, the Yaksha Fishmen might not dare to attack us."
"But we only have one demonic sea ship, and we don't have any high-level Transcendents. The Yaksha Fishmen will definitely test us. "
"These Yaksha Fishmen are very cautious. According to past information, they'll observe us for half a day to a day before attacking."
"So, we should take advantage of the half a day to a day gap before they attack."
"Captain, you'll need to use mystical items to explore the Shadow Islands."
"If we can go in and search for treasures, then we must fight a good battle. We must beat them until they feel the pain and stay away from us."
"Only then can we safely search for treasures."
"If we can't enter the Shadow Islands, then there's no need to fight these Yaksha Fishmen to the death. After all, they have a few powerful high-level Murlocs.
"However, the Shadow Islands are quite large, and there are many submerged reefs around the coastline."
"The Origin Energy near the Misty Shadow Islands is very strange, and there are also strange whirlpools in several places."
"In addition, the core of the archipelago, Shadow Island, has a mysterious deadly force that will occasionally spread out to kill."
"The Yaksha Fishmen can't get too close.
"Our plan is to anchor the demonic sea ship here and have a large number of crew members to guard it."
"I" Howell, Captain, I can's Howell Wolf Fishmen.......
"I can make you invisible. Besides, it's still early in the morning. There aren't any powerful yaksha fishmen nearby. They won't notice us."
"It's a good time to explore the Shadow Islands."
"And that's why we woke up so early."
It had to be said that when they approached the Shadow Islands and discovered that there were yaksha Fishmen watching them, they were quite surprised.
Yassen Howell's tactical qualities and prudence were more reliable than Gounières' captain.
"You don't have to go. I'll go alone."
Gounières said after some thought.
"Hmm?"
The few of them looked over in surprise.
Gounières said this because Gounières had opened the system just now.
A miracle event appeared on the miracle page.
Although he only skimmed through it.
However, Gounières had already confirmed that the Misty Shadow Islands was a treasure trove.
After several fortuitous encounters, Gu Nie was very clear that this fortuitous encounter might be another good opportunity for him to bring about an extraordinary change.
In fact, the entire Demon Whale adventurer team might even benefit from it.
Gounières explained his plan to the others.
"I have an Invisibility Scroll. Moreover, I can easily walk on the sea alone without causing any commotion.
"It's much more convenient for me to move alone on the surface of the sea than for the two of us to move in the sea.
I'll be able to circle the Shadow Islands very soon.
If you follow me, I'll have to take care of you if anything happens.
So, I'll go alone. "
Gounières's words were reasonable. Yassen couldn't find a way to refute them.
"Let the captain go alone!" Old Haitu spoke at this time.
"The captain can go and come back quickly.
Moreover, you're a Tier 4 expert. You're the backbone of the Magic Whale. If those yaksha fishmen attack, you'll be able to defend us. "
"Alright, I'll guard the Magic Whale." Yassen nodded.
"Captain, you have to be careful."
"I know. Wait for my good news!" Gounières nodded.
…
About a kilometer away from the Magic Whale.
In the depths of the dark and silent fog.
Above the sea.
There were more than fifty yaksha fishmen here.
These yaksha fishmen had horns and fins on their heads, long and muscular arms, and slender bodies. These yaksha fishmen had a ferocious and savage aura, filled with the ferocious aura unique to deep-sea tribes.
There were more than fifty yaksha fishmen, and each of them was holding an icy blue trident, which was glowing with a cold light. These tridents were the origin of the name of the Yaksha Fishmen Tribe.
Of the fifty yaksha fishmen, most of them were Tier 2, a few were Tier 3, and the two in the lead were Tier 4.
Among these fifty yaksha fishmen, there were two Tier 4 humans.
At this moment, in front of these two Tier 4 humans was a 'Water Magic Mirror' with a diameter of about one meter, used for long-distance surveillance.
At this moment, the Magic Whale floating on the sea was displayed in the Water Magic Mirror.
"Sir Alus, you should know better than us the duty of guarding this time. The High Priestess' ceremony won't allow any mistakes. "
"What if these fellows interrupt the High Priestess' ceremony?"
"All of you are going to be sacrificed."
The slightly plump 'Wagner' who always had a faint smile on his face said softly.
The Tier 4 yaksha fishman called Alus said in a gloomy voice, "Don't worry, we'll attack first and test the strength of these humans."
"If they're too weak, we'll directly wipe them out."
"If they're too strong, we'll have to invite the high-ranked powerhouses of our tribe to come and wipe out these fellows of unknown origins."
"Or we can kill some of them and capture some of them to bring to the ceremony. I'm sure the High Priestess will like these offerings."
"Very good!" Wagner looked at the demonic sea ship in the Water Magic Mirror and nodded lightly.
"Although I don't know where you're from, coming to the Misty Shadow Islands at this time is simply throwing your lives away. The ceremony for the birth of an Extraordinary Master isn't something you can disturb. What a group of pitiful fellows."
…
Ten minutes later.
In the captain's cabin, Gounières entered the state of being compatible with the Profound Darkness.
With a flip of his hand, Gounières took out an Advanced Invisibility Scroll.
Following the activation of source energy, a faint white light flashed, and Gounières' figure disappeared.
While in the state of invisibility, Gounières looked at his own body.
His body was in a weak state of invisibility.
In this state of invisibility, Gounières was looking at himself. In the eyes of others, Gounières didn't exist at all.
Gounières silently jumped out of the open window of the captain's cabin.
After jumping over the side of the ship, the invisible Gounières landed on the surface of the sea. There weren't any ripples, and the waves were still gently rising and falling.
Then Gounières looked around.
"Before, I always felt like I was being spied on. Now that I'm in the state of invisibility, it's gone. It should be those Yaksha Fishmen secretly causing trouble."
"I have to act quickly and return before those Yaksha Fishmen attack."
Then, Gounières looked in the direction of the Misty Shadow Islands and quickly moved forward.
While moving forward, Gounières opened the system and carefully looked at the Fortuitous Encounters.
Fortuitous Encounter: Ancient Shadow Door
Fortuitous Encounter 1: Holy Shadow Rune
Fortuitous Encounter 2: Holy Shadow Magic Stone
Fortuitous Encounter 3: Ancient Shadow Door
Gounières gradually opened the contents and details of the three Fortuitous Encounters, as well as the things to pay attention to during the Fortuitous Encounter.
About ten minutes later.
At the end of the Dark Mist, some huge and strangely shaped reefs could be seen.
Gounières had already arrived at the edge of the Misty Shadow Islands.
Looking at the strangely shaped reefs that looked like some kind of strange roaring shadow beasts, Gounières couldn't help but tremble.
Gounières's mouth curved into a smile.
"No wonder the Misty Shadow Islands are mysterious and strange in the sea. It's a place of death filled with terrifying power."
"Those Shadow Beasts that seem to have the bloodline power of the Ruler and strange innate abilities live here."
"It's not strange at all that this place is a place of death."
Through the system, Gounières understood.
On the core island near the west of the "Misty Shadow Archipelago", which was also the "Shadow Island" that people feared the most, lived a strange species that didn't have flesh and blood, didn't have a soul, and didn't have a form of energy — Shadow Beast!
The name Shadow Beasts was given by Gounières according to the system's detailed description.
Shadow Beasts didn't have flesh, blood, or soul, and couldn't absorb any form of natural origin energy.
Therefore, it would not be attacked by any form of physical attack, soul attack, or energy spell attack.
The only thing that could affect them was shadows!
