379 The Skeleton of A Dragon Part 1 (1/2)

”Master?” Saleen finally exited Sika's room and Nailisi who was guarding at the door called him. She saw Saleen wearing a glove on his left hand. She was angry, she did not know what master did for Sika that spent so much power of life.

Saleen felt Nailisi's dejection. He patted her head and said, ”Nailisi, where are we now?”

”We haven't entered the Oceanic Ice Block yet. Soldier is very careful, constantly drawing the map.” Nailisi then saw Sika walking out from her room with her full suit on, she instinctively stepped back.

Sika made her feel a kind of danger, a power that could ruin her life. What was going on?

”Where's Banchajanna?

”He went out to hunt for red phosphorous prawn twice, the result was good. We are getting closer to the strong magic beasts' hunting territory, Banchajanna dared not offend.”

”That's good, I was worried that he would get himself into trouble. Let's go, Nailisi, I'm hungry.”

”Mm, I'll go get Jola.” Nailisi felt the danger of Sika and she did not want to provoke the Caucasus woman. As Sika's character was more straightforward, no matter what trick that she played on Sika it would get exposed. That would only lead to one outcome; Sika waving her cudgel to smash her into meatloaf.

It was okay if Saleen was next to her, as he would naturally stop Sika. If Saleen was not there, Sika would not care who she was. Nailisi smiled at Sika to show good will. That was the first time she realized that there were humans that demon could not deal with.

Sika's temperament did not necessarily mean that she would be easily cheated. Everyone who wanted to play a trick on her had to consider the outcome, which was Sika's fighting ability and her thinking method. Sika did not only have a cudgel anymore, she had a few thousand Caucasus warriors following her. If anyone pissed her off, they should be ready to be killed by the Caucasus people.

The way Caucasus people treated their high priests was simple. If you were to harm their priest, they would trade their life for yours. Once a Caucasus believed in something, one would never be able to change their mind with other interest. That would be the most troublesome matter.

In Nailisi's eyes, there were a few thousand passionate warriors behind Sika and there was no way to shake their belief.

”Forget it. No matter how strong you are, you slept with master anyway. Nailisi was thinking in her heart and that made her feel better.”

Sika grinned at Nailisi and said softly, ”This armor can feel bad intention of others. Although you are Saleen's maidservant, don't have any bad thoughts about me. I know you but my cudgel doesn't.”

”I know, Sis Sika, I am born that way. Please excuse me.” Nailisi almost never admitted defeat and Sika was surprised.

The few of them came to the first floor. It was morning and the mages just got up. They were helping the winged skeleton to control the ship while it patiently added more map coordinates on the magic compass.

The Oceanic Ice Block was really dangerous, there were many grade-8 magic beasts on its outer border. If it was not for the special attributes of the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat that made the magic beasts ignore them, those grade-8 magic beasts would make the ship sank then and there.

The magic beasts were distributed regularly according to the distribution of their prey. When the winged skeleton was drawing the map, it noted down the area with more dangerous nests. The ocean was only two thousand meters deep and some magic beasts could submerge to the bottom of the sea and damage the ship. Banchajanna did not attack, but only hunted some red phosphorous prawn at two spacious hunting grounds.

He needed Saleen to make decisions on what magic beasts to hunt and it if failed, they had to think of way to escape.

Even though Irene had the sailing route back then, the powerful magic beasts around were too fierce so she had to avoid them carefully at all times. She would leave after she got some benefit. If not for the Oceanic Ice Block being richly endowed, Irene would have been rich overnight, why would she be bothered by loss of a ship.

Jola was ordered by Nailisi to go to the kitchen. He followed Nailisi's instructions without questioning and he did not cast eyes over other's property anymore. She belonged to Saleen. There was no use thinking about her.

Saleen and the winged skeleton connected to enquire about the harvest of the past few days.

The winged skeleton knew more than Nailisi. Saleen heard and he was satisfied that Banchajanna had quite a good harvest although he only went out a few times.

The number of red phosphorous prawn was similar with the last hunt, but the quality heighten quite a bit. The closer they get to Oceanic Ice Block, the better the quality of the prawn. To a sorcerer, the prawn did not have much use. To a mage, the grade-4 magic nucleus in the prawn could be used for practice. For Saleen's army, the shell could be made into equipment. It was definitely the best choice.

Those stronger magic beasts might be able to provide better materials, but even Banchajanna had no confidence that he would win against them. If the Three Kings were there, it would be possible, but there was only Banchajanna alone and he had the ship as a drag. Facing magic beasts above grade-8, he had to hold back.
