Chapter 305 Nagakaporos Temple

Seeing Sok's excitement, Huo Jixing chuckled and didn't care about the silver snake coins in the purse.

His current identity is Sok's slave.

Even if he performs well on the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship, the silver snake coins he earns will be given to Sok first.

Perhaps he thought of this.

Sok glanced at Huo Jixing, and when he saw him nod, he immediately handed the purse to his mother.

Although Sok still looks innocent and enthusiastic like a child.

But he has already begun to support the burden of the family, and understands the dedication of his parents to the family.

This maturity and responsibility are very rare in Bilgewater Bay, where pirates are rampant.

Barnes's eyes wandered between Sok and Huo Jixing.

Then he stood up and said hello to Aretha, and went to the inner room of the stone house.

He and Feder are old friends. It was Feder who brought him into the harpooner group.

In the simple room, Barnes saw Feder lying on the bed.

Compared with the last time, Feder now looks much better.

Although his face still bears traces of pain, his eyes are full of energy.

As soon as the two met, they talked very familiarly and whispered about their own things.

Feder saw that the atmosphere was similar, his expression condensed, and asked.

"Barnes, do you know what Xing is?"

During this period of time, Feder saw that Huo Jixing's temperament had changed significantly, and his body was also a little different, and his inner worries became more intense.

Barnes was surprised to hear this, and directly told Huo Jixing's origin and his relationship with Sok.

At the same time, he also told what Huo Jixing did on the Hunting Tooth Pirate Ship.

"Slave? Dissection skills?"

Feder heard this information, his eyes flickered, and he realized that Huo Jixing's identity was definitely problematic.

Then he thought of Sok's attitude towards Huo Jixing, and he breathed a sigh of relief for his child.

"Sok is no longer a child, he can handle his own affairs."

Barnes spoke at the right time and gave a high evaluation of Sok's performance on the pirate ship.

"As for Xing, the captain and I can see that he has concealed his identity information, which is normal."

"In Bilgewater, there are a lot of people who escape like this."

Fedel sighed softly. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he also understood that excessive worry would not solve the problem.

He must believe in his children and believe that Sok can make the right choice.

However, he was still wary of Huo Jixing.

After Barnes talked with Feidel for a while, he got up and said goodbye, and refused Aressa's retention.

His purpose of coming here this time has been achieved.

Feidel's condition is getting better and better.

Captain Moreira also gave enough silver snake coins for treatment.

Maybe it won't be long.

Feidel will be able to get out of bed and walk and recover his health.

Wait until Barnes leaves.

Aressa returned to the room and told Sok about the use of these silver snake coins.

"I'm going to go to the Nagakabouros Temple tomorrow morning to pray for your father and buy some healing herbs."

Aretha turned back to look at Huo Jixing and asked softly.

"Xing, do you want to go with me?"

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, and he smiled apologetically at Aretha and Sok.

"I won't go. I'll take a walk around tomorrow. You guys go by yourselves."

Sok turned his head to look at Huo Jixing, opened his mouth, and finally said with a smile.

"Okay, then you should be careful and don't provoke the people of the Iron Hook Gang."

"If you are in danger, you can report the name of Captain Moreira."

Aretha saw Sok and Huo Jixing chatting, and brought out the prepared dinner, and everyone began to enjoy the food.

In the warm and harmonious atmosphere, Huo Jixing put away his inner thoughts and enjoyed the dinner time.

Night fell.

The stone house fell into silence again.

Huo Jixing slowly got up, recalled Aretha's words at dinner, and some information about Bilgewater emerged in his mind.

Nagakabouros Temple.

It is a temple built by the Baru people, which has a very special status in Bilgewater.

It also has another name, called the Baru Temple.

The Blue Flame Islands mentioned by the people of Valoran are always called the Serpentine Islands in the eyes of the Baru people who live in water.

They have their own culture, and the core of the culture is Nagakabouros.

The god of life, growth and eternal movement.

People also call her the Snake Mother, the Sea Beast, or the Bearded Lady.

Her usual symbol is a huge sea monster head with tentacles coiled around it.

Even after the construction of Bilgewater, the ancient culture of the Baru people was greatly respected.

It is often reflected in their daily lives, and some cultures are even completely copied.

Including traditional medicine and sea hunting skills.

"Another god!"

Huo Jixing's heart was filled with thoughts.

Although he has set foot in the legendary realm, he has a seemingly high position in the Valoran continent.

But when facing those ancient and powerful gods, he felt as weak as a child.

Recalling Morgana, whom he met in the Demacia capital, and Janna, who guarded Piltover.

Huo Jixing deeply felt the power and mystery of the gods.

The power beyond legend made him feel shocked and helpless.

Facing these ancient gods, Huo Jixing was just a tiny existence.

Because of this, when Aretha invited him to the Nagakapoulos Temple, Huo Jixing refused without hesitation.

He knew that he could not compete with the gods for the time being, and he did not want to take the risk.

Glancing at the night outside the window, Huo Jixing understood that it was almost time and stepped out of the stone house.

He escaped into the shadows and walked forward in the dark and narrow alley.

These winding roads were already familiar to him.

After a while, Huo Jixing came to the Butcher's Bridge again.

This ancient stone bridge spans the cliff and connects different areas of Bilgewater.

Before stepping onto the stone bridge, he looked towards the center of Bilgewater.

It is where the Temple of Nagakaporos is located, and it is also a sacred place in the hearts of countless Bilgewater people.

The temple at night looks particularly solemn and solemn under the moonlight, and many Bilgewater people can be vaguely seen, slowly climbing forward like ants.

Huo Jixing took a deep look at the Nagakapoulos Temple, stepped lightly, and entered the slaughter dock.

He planned to continue with his plan, sneaking into the nearby slaughterhouse and stealing pieces of sea beast meat.

As the night gets darker, the fishy smell on the dock becomes stronger.

In every narrow alley and street of the Slaughterhouse, the gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang patrolled with great vigilance, armed with weapons.

With Huo Jixing's current strength, he simply ignored these ordinary people, sneaked into the slaughterhouse, and quickly harvested the pieces of sea beast meat.

Even if affected by the rumors of thieves, the hunting boats that come and go in Bilgewater Bay every day will bring huge amounts of sea beast carcasses.

Huo Jixing is like a ghost, haunting many slaughterhouses.

He used the fire of Nanli to turn countless pieces of sea beast flesh into flesh and blood energy, and integrated them into his body.

"Um?"

While Huo Jixing was searching for pieces of sea beast meat, he suddenly noticed an extraordinary fluctuation.

It was very obscure, but with the strength he had now recovered, he could still notice it.

"This is somewhat similar to the power in Fedel."

Huo Jixing's heart moved. He looked around at the nearby dark environment and escaped into the shadows.

Slaughter dock.

Reef areas with swollen undertows.

A four-masted ship with ragged sails was moored quietly on the reef beach.

It looks abandoned, with waves swaying nearby from time to time, lapping at the broken hull.

For Bilgewater, every night seemed extra long.

At least since the previous "Bandit King" was deposed, the night has been relatively peaceful.

Occasionally, you can see groups of dock rats baring their blood-red fangs, running across the beach and underground rivers, looking for rotting flesh.

"Help."

Macie lay sprawled on the rotting wooden planks as the waves crashed against the rocks below.

Her heartbeat gradually slowed down, and the two words squeezed out of her throat filled with pus and blood flowed wetly into the sea.

She stared unblinkingly, looking at the shack high up and the stars in the distance.

In the hazy mist, a dark green figure was observing the person in front of him.

He moved closer to Macie and looked at her face again.

Macie's godless eyes pierced through his mind.

[Long hair in the strong wind of the distant sea]

[A dozen people on the deck watched him fall into the sea]

[Then there are the teeth. Not Macie's pearly white teeth. ]

[Yes. Sticky, sword-blade-sized teeth staggered across the hull. ]

[My tongue is too slippery, my eyes are stinging with sweat, and my fingers can’t catch anything. I have to go back to the sea]

[The beast's teeth jammed, then pain. Then darkness]

[The boat is gone. So are the eyes]

[Makiye's eyes are that of a boatman. Yes, she was there. She cut my rope. ]

The dark green figure walked out of the mist, holding the serrated harpoon tightly in his hand, and gestured around Macie's body, as if trying to find a perfect insertion point.

Macie, who was on the verge of death, heard the voice in front of her and turned her blue eyes.

Then a look of disbelief appeared in her pupils.

"No, it's impossible. You."

She wanted to speak out, but no words came out of her blood-filled throat.

Click!

The serrated harpoon sliced ​​open Macie's neck, taking away the last breath of life.

Pike kicked the body with his feet and kept staring at his feet.

He kicked Macie's body all the way to the edge of the dock.

With another kick, the broken body fell into the water.

The sharks smelled the smell of blood and rushed over immediately, circling and biting. The ocean never wastes time.

Until everything stopped and the sea breeze brought the coldness of the night.

Pike took out his list and found Maciel's name.

Her name was scratched out of the parchment in bright red ink.

Also the last crew member of the Terror.

[It’s done, there’s not a single name left on the list, just a bunch of red crosses. Where did I get all these inks]

Parker's heart gradually surged with mania, impulsiveness, and dissatisfaction.

At the same time, a monstrous malice arose deep in his soul.

He couldn't stop. There were many, many more people on the deck.

He might have gotten the wrong list or it might not matter at all.

It's just that these guys want him to die in the Sea of ​​Watchers.

With so many people and so much time, why can't we wait?

Pike stopped in his tracks, the serrated harpoon in his hand cutting through the air and making ripples.

Another sound rang in his mind, not the chirping of a bird or the waves.

It wasn't the gnashing of teeth, nor the screaming in his head, "You can't stop!"

Nor was it the music he heard in Drift City many years ago.

It was the sound of footsteps!
