Chapter 32 Loli, I Really Haven't Kidnapped Her
"Tsk tsk, two demigods, a group of golds, and they know how to cooperate? Is this the regular army of Seriphos?"
Ron, paddling at the edge, felt the wildly surging ether tide on the island. He slowed down his paddling and glanced at Xuester beside him with a smile.
"It seems that His Majesty the King has really invested a lot of money in this."
Realizing that there was no way to get off the pirate ship, Xuester had a sad face, nodded helplessly, and told all the information he knew about the 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 Seriphos had felt urgent pressure and danger. After all, Greece had a fine tradition of killing one's father to ascend to the throne.
So he issued rewards one after another and sent people to look for the legendary blood of Gorgon.
But most of the conventional civilian forces are gone forever.
In the end, King Seriphos, who could no longer wait, simply gathered all his forces, spent a large sum of money to hire Hermes' followers as guides, and went all in on this exploration.
However, the result might disappoint him.
The fleet that landed on the island searched the entire abandoned temple but failed to find the legendary Gorgon.
“Boom!”
Another loud explosion on the island interrupted Xuester's narration. Dazzling flames shot up into the sky, and broken arms and limbs flew in all directions.
Seeing the tragic battle and the horrific destructive power of both sides, Xiuster couldn't help swallowing and his face turned pale.
"Who are those people who are chasing you?"
"Atlantis Guards..."
"hiss!"
Hearing that nonchalant answer, the demigod descendant of Hermes broke out in a cold sweat and groaned in his heart.
Now, not only did they screw over their employers, the Seriphos, but they also got in trouble with the Atlanteans who were rampant on the sea.
If I consider my life, I'm afraid I'll have to say goodbye to going out to sea to make a living.
At this moment, with waves of strong vibrations, the entire sea surface began to ripple with huge waves, causing the small boat the two people were riding on to sway from side to side, and the ether factor content in the air was also rising steadily.
Luo En's brows were knitted together, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Something is wrong. Those Atlanteans have been crippled by him. They shouldn't be so strong...
And the source of the vibration didn't seem to come from the ground, but... underground? !
After a brief pause, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked up at the shaking island.
"boom--!"
At the same time, there was a roar that sounded like the collapse of heaven and earth, and a hideous crack in the ground tore across the entire island, as if leading directly to the abyss where the underworld was.
The rustling sound of snakes climbing and hissing came in the darkness, like steel needles piercing everyone's hearts and eardrums.
Panic, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions spread uncontrollably.
Then, two hideous and huge shadows gradually emerged with terrifying outlines in the thick night.
It was a magical beast with a purple snake tail in the lower half and a human female in the upper half.
She was a goddess with golden wings and a cold and beautiful face.
—Gorgon, the snake-haired girl!
"Bang!"
Claws covered with snake-like scales crossed the abyss and climbed onto the broken temple square. Two figures as towering as hills rose higher.
The ether magic factors that were frantically converging towards the invisible island were excited and active in the air, and the purple-red light produced by the fierce friction illuminated most of the dark sky.
In an instant, the powerful magical reaction made Loen's eyelids twitch on the sea, and goose bumps appeared on his back.
God level! Two!
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiuster beside him 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 that escaped from the Alima Crypt. They're demigods at best!"
The demigod descendant of Hermes was also swallowing wildly, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, and his face was filled with fear.
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 gods and monsters that are also demigods at most.
unless……
At this time, the two Gorgons on the island, who had transformed into their complete forms, had already launched a bloody massacre against the intruders.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Dense purple-red light beams swept across the sky and fell to the ground like a meteor shower. The entire temple square was plowed several times in an instant.
Red and black scorched earth mixed with flesh, blood and limbs were scattered all over the place, and wisps of green smoke rose from conical pits tens of meters deep.
With just this one strike, seven or eight people from Seriphos and Atlantis were killed in an instant.
Those who survived are all genuine gold-level elites!
"That old coffin-ladle from Serifos played a trick on me!"
At this moment, after witnessing the tragic situation on the island and experiencing a flash of lightning in his head, Xuester, with a chill on his back, couldn't help but start cursing.
"not necessarily……"
A low voice at the side brought the frightened Xuster back to reality, muttering softly.
"It is possible that when they first landed on this island, they were only demigods, but in order to fight against the constant pursuit and to survive, they successfully broke through their original rank and became complete gods just before you arrived..."
As for the specific reason, Loen had a vague guess based on a few things he had taken from the Seriphos warship before.
He opened the magic circle, took out a few stone tablets engraved with wavy secret characters, took a deep look at the abandoned temple on the island that was beyond recognition, and his lips moved silently.
The old sea god Pontus never expected that this was his former temple.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising.
After all, this ancient god has been a model worker in Greece since his death. Not only has he dropped gold coins everywhere, he has also greatly enriched the ecology of the primitive ocean, leaving behind endless benefits.
It is likely that the three Gorgon sisters, who were originally hunted and conquered everywhere, were able to successfully advance on this invisible island with almost nothing but waves and rocks, because they took advantage of the old sea god Pontus and inherited part of the grace of the ocean.
Therefore, in Greek mythology, there are two speculations about the identities of the three Gorgon sisters: "daughters of Typhon, the ancestor of demons, and Echidna, the mother of snakes" and "daughters of Phorcys, the father of all monsters, and Keto, the mother of sea monsters."
By the way, although Phorcys, the father of all monsters, and Keto, the mother of sea monsters, are nominally the children of the old sea god Pontos and the parents of the three Gorgon sisters, their blood and divinity seem to be purer than theirs.
However, the future demigod hero Perseus used only Medusa's head to turn the so-called mother of sea monsters, Ketuo, into stone.
It is obvious that the three Gorgon sisters are the more perfect successors.
At this moment, Loen looked at the two Gorgons who were constantly emitting divine pressure on the island and began to violently clear the area, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The constant hunting and harassment from the outside world has made the three sisters deeply wary and hostile towards outsiders.
Not long ago, after obtaining the legacy of the old sea god Pontus through some means, they did not disappear, but simply hid in the basement of the temple to sleep, waiting for promotion.
And those outsiders who broke into their territory happened to run into the muzzle of the gun, waking them up early.
Fortunately, I didn’t rush up to get close to him at the first moment, otherwise I would have died without knowing how I died.
Once again, Loen congratulated himself on his wisdom and caution, and at the same time grabbed the oars, ready to evacuate the dangerous area as soon as possible.
Even if you want to establish good relations with the three Gorgon sisters, now is not the time.
Save your life first, and we’ll talk about it later.
As Loen thought about it, he increased the speed of paddling.
However, as the sound of waves spread and touched the island, his heart suddenly contracted and he felt a sudden and strong sense of crisis. He felt 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 a low growl coming out of his mouth, Loen's face changed and he fell down without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, the snake's vertical pupils flashed with madness and anger, and it looked down at the sea surface coldly.
As their eyes met, Cousteau, who was caught off guard, felt his body sink, and his consciousness continued to fall and sink into the darkness.
"laugh!"
The next moment, the purple-red magic eye opened and closed, and a beam of magic power compressed to the extreme swept across the sea, causing huge waves, and the sea surface fell into chaos and darkness.
Finally, the night ended and dawn came.
The turmoil and chaos of the deep sea were washed away by the rising sunlight in the early morning.
“Crash!”
With a crisp sound of water coming out, a tall figure, soaked all over, flipped from underwater onto a small boat floating quietly on the sea.
“Ahem…”
Lorne lay on the deck, coughing slightly, then looked around at the calm sea, and lay down exhausted, gasping for breath.
Is this the gap between a demigod and a god? Isn't this too scary?
After a brief rest, Loen stood up while complaining in his heart. He looked at the half-remaining human sculpture on the deck with his wandering eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"I told you to get down but you didn't listen. Now look what happened. Even Zeus can't save you this time."
After a few seconds of silence for an unfortunate descendant of Hermes, Loen 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 troubled.
Without a guide and without knowing the direction, where should I go?
As depression surged into his heart, Loen couldn't help but criticize the culprits who had caused this unprovoked accident.
Three ladies, I'm just passing by. Is it necessary for you to fire at me?
“Crack!”
Just as a victim was making an angry accusation, a strange shattering sound came from the cabin under his feet.
Along with it came a familiar smell that made his blood pressure soar.
Gorgon!
Loen turned his neck stiffly, forced a dry smile on his face, and looked at the open cabin behind him. His eyes changed from hypocritical flattery to doubt, and finally to complicated astonishment.
At the deepest part of the cabin, piles of secret stone slabs and bronze sacrificial vessels slid down, revealing the outline of a half-human-high purple-red cocoon, which rose and fell with the frequency of its breathing, and a beating sound like a heart could be heard.
And inside, a petite human figure was curled up in the amniotic membrane with its arms clasped.
The sun rose, and a ray of light shone into the dim cabin.
Inside the purple-red cocoon membrane, a pair of eyes opened as if sensing something, and the pure and unique rectangular pupils looked faintly at the figure standing outside the fetal membrane.
The corners of Loen's mouth twitched slightly, and his thoughts were churning.
He now finally understood why only two of the three Gorgons appeared last night, and why the two sisters went crazy and slaughtered all the intruders on the island and fired at him.
This seems to be a big trouble!
