Chapter 1938: Turtle shell boat

The physiological structure of the harpy, half human, half bird, is destined that the flying skills of this creature cannot be as good as the real bird. Compared with the hurriedly advancing "Iron Maiden", the flight speed is an order of magnitude worse, and it can only be seen. Seeing the spire of the crystal steel tower hit head-on, it was smashed to pieces before dodge, feathers and pieces of flesh and blood flying all over the sky.
The spire of the crystal tower was blood-stained scarlet, and it was blown dry and wiped out by the high air stream. Qiao An's vision was restored, locking the dense harpy in front of him, and driving the "Iron Maiden" to rush up.
The drum-like sound of smashing flesh and bones echoed in the ears, and the screams were almost inaudible after being left behind.
In this round of collision, at least ten harpy were crushed by the crystal steel tower.
Although the enchantress near the flight axis of the "Iron Maiden" was not directly hit, she was also engulfed by the violent turbulence brought by the "Iron Maiden". Her body lost balance and was taken by Audrey, Holden and Hylar who came afterwards. Kill.
The flying "Iron Maiden" dashed in the air, and the carcass of the harpy was crushed by this brutal and cold steel tower, turning into unsightly broken limbs.
On the deck, Captain Odysseus and the sailors looked up at the battle area in the air, and saw a cloud of blood exploded where the crystal steel tower passed, the scarlet blood rain dripping, and the stained deck was mottled, all with big mouths. Zhang's eyes were dull, and his mind was blank in shock.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it, there is such a sharp way of air combat in the world—the young mage used his own power to chase down hundreds of harpies, scaring this group of arrogant people just now. The enchantress ran away watching the wind.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and more than forty harpies were killed and injured by Qiao An.
Both parties focused on the fierce fighting have not noticed that the weather over the sea has quietly changed, billowing dark clouds covering the sky, and lightning and thunder in the depths of the clouds, indicating that a storm is coming.
Almost all the harpies remaining in the air were frightened by the "Iron Maiden" controlled by Qiao An. At this time, he noticed that the thunderstorm was approaching, and the remaining fighting spirit was also blown away by the wind, and hurriedly fluttered. Take shelter from the thunderstorm on the islands on both sides of the strait.
Qiao An did not chase down the enemy who fled, and followed his companions to land on the deck, transforming back into a human form.
Captain Odysseus also realized that the opportunity was rare, and immediately urged the sailors to return to their posts, taking advantage of the harpy to avoid the thunderstorm and have no time to harass, driving the "coral" across the strait, and struggled in the storm. Sailing.
The thunderstorm rained all night, and the expedition ship drifted with the waves all night. Until the next morning, the sea cleared. The people on the ship boarded the deck again to observe the surrounding waters, and inadvertently noticed that there was a faint shadow on the horizon where the mist was lingering. After getting close, I discovered that it was an island that was not marked on the nautical chart.
Observing through the binoculars, the area of ​​the small island is not too large, not more than half a square mile by visual observation, but the island is full of lush vegetation, full of green shades, and looks vibrant. Judging from the dense vegetation on the island, it is not difficult to infer that the local area has abundant freshwater resources.
The Coral has never called the port to replenish fresh water since it left Elephant Island. After more than half a month of sailing, there is not much fresh water reserved on the ship. The boiler that has been working hard for several days also needs to be shut down for maintenance.
Based on the above-mentioned practical needs, Captain Odysseus proposed to drop anchor near the small island ahead. The sailors stay on the ship to overhaul the power equipment. The rest of the people follow him on the island and collect fresh water.
Sister Hailar and Zion have been holding back on the ship for more than half a month, and have long wanted to get off the ship to relax. Of course, they would not oppose the captain's initiative.
Qiao An had the same plan, besides, he had a special curiosity about the small island ahead.
Just now when he was observing the island with a telescope, he suddenly received a sensory message from "Tears of God" indicating that there was a "mythical creature" nearby, but he didn't clearly tell him where the mythical creature was, even the "mythical stage". "Bit" also did not make an explanation.
Qiao An has experienced similar situations before, and the reason is nothing more than two possibilities: either the mythological creatures are too far away and "Tears of God" cannot give detailed information; or the mythical creatures are extremely alert and aware that someone is there. Investigate yourself and conceal yourself in some way to avoid detection.
Regardless of the specific situation, Qiao An was curious, and faintly felt that the unknown mythical creature was probably related to the small island in front of him, so it was even more necessary to go to the island to investigate.
Of course, precautions must be taken before going to the island to explore. Joan specially took out the "Dragon Scale Amulet" to ensure that the "Return Mantra" attached to the amulet was in a state that could be activated at any time, and the teleportation point was set to the deck of the "Coral" expedition ship.
After going to the island, if he finds that the situation is not good, Qiao An will activate the "Mantra of Return" as soon as possible, and collectively escape back to the boat with his companions, pull the anchor as soon as possible, and drive the boat away.
For safety's sake, the "Coral" expedition ship found anchor in a sheltered area about half a nautical mile away from the island.
Captain Odysseus brought sailors Gulliver and Robinson, as well as the fat cook Sinbad, who went to the island to find fresh ingredients, plus Audrey, Holden, Hylar and Dolly the Parrot, one for six. The birds shared a barge and paddled close to the island.
Qiao An didn’t take a boat, and flew over in the form of a bee. He looked down on the small island from a high altitude, and found that the overall shape of the island resembled a soup spoon inverted in the water. The handle, or as a natural trestle bridge extending into the sea.
Both sides of the trestle bridge are calm and the waves are calm, with excellent sea visibility and no submerged reefs. It is a good natural anchorage. If it is confirmed that there is no danger on the island, the expedition ship can be moored in.
Qiao An was planning to fly to the bushes in the middle of the island to investigate. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a mass of objects floating on the water on the east side of the trestle bridge. He glanced at it more out of curiosity, and couldn't help being surprised.
Floating on the water is a hollowed-out turtle shell, carefully transformed into a small boat, which looks only the size of a washbasin.
Although the tortoise-shell ship is small, its sailing facilities are complete: a flat deck, and a mast almost ten feet high is erected in the middle of the deck. The white sails on the mast are just as large as a tablecloth.
Qiao An became more and more curious as he watched, so he took a "stealth technique" on himself, lowered the flying height, and watched the toy turtle-shell ship nearby.
