Chapter 333 Shipyard and Unexpected Gains

At noon that day, the dwarf took the boat that Iris took back to Storm Bay.

Carl, Hope, Nia, Shadow, Mitris and Iris continued to take the boat to the east coast of Xen'drik, and planned to spend the night here and then find a port to dock and go to Lonely Mountain.

However, after spending the night, Carl and his three girlfriends looked a little hesitant when they got up to eat.

"What's wrong? Did you have bad sex last night? I have a secret medicine that the Winter Son Druids use to help rare wild animals reproduce~! If you beg me, I can consider giving it to you."

Mitris didn't make any moves, and a bottle of pink alchemy potion appeared in Mitris's hand.

Nia looked over when she heard the sound, but with just a glance, she recognized that the ingredients of the potion were just three times concentrated love potion.

'I can make ten times concentrated! '

After her mind wandered a little, Nia realized that now was not the time to think about these things.

After tidying up her hair, her face glowed slightly, and she asked Iris:

"Iris, I remember that psychics of the distorted mind sub-profession are often accompanied by some physical changes, then, then..."

When it came to the key point, Nia's face suddenly turned red, and she was stuck for a long time, and couldn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, Iris continued to say what Nia said at the beginning:

"Yes, except for the psychic power obtained from the dream spirit, psychics of other paths all belong to distorted minds, and some physical deformations will occur.

Among them, some will grow twisted tentacles on their bodies, some will have distorted aesthetics, and some will secrete strange mucus somewhere in their bodies from time to time..."

When giving examples, Iris carefully observed the expressions of Carl and the other four, trying to analyze what happened to Carl.

But she failed.

However, seeing that Carl didn't seem to have any extra limbs, Iris thought it shouldn't be a big problem, so she comforted him:

"It shouldn't have much impact. Just pay attention to giving Carl more nutrition in normal times."

After standing there for a long time, she finally gave this suggestion.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first."

Covering his forehead, Carl awkwardly changed the subject.

After eating, everyone worked together to steer the ship westward.

The defeated Dalcat soldiers now don't know where they have gone. They seem to have left in the ironclad ships that can still operate.

At about noon, Carl and his team finally arrived at a small port.

However, judging from the dilapidated houses and vibrant weeds around, this port has probably been abandoned for a long time.

"I'll take the three of them to explore, and you should be careful on the ship."

After giving Hope a word of advice, Carl instantly put on the power armor, then floated into the air and flew towards the depths of the abandoned port town.

The three iron ant constructs changed into flying saucers and followed closely behind.

After the system upgrade, these three guys became much more agile, and seemed to have a certain degree of intelligence.

However, according to Carl's test, their IQ is limited, roughly the same as that of Border Collies.

This made Carl feel that he had three obedient and sensible mechanical dogs, but their appearance was similar to that of ants.

After flying forward for a distance, a winding river caught Carl's attention.

This river did not seem to flow into the sea from the land, but flowed back from the sea.

There were some traces of artificial excavation on both sides of the river. Carl winked at the three iron ants, and then led them along the river.

"Huh? Is this... a shipyard?"

Ten minutes later, just when the floating effect of Carl's psychic power began to become dull, the river in front finally came to the end.

It was a huge dilapidated factory shed. Because of the cover of rocks, Carl and his friends did not find it when they were at the port.

The factory shed here seemed to have been through wind and rain for a long time, and the metal railings were covered with rust.

Carl flew in from the gap and found that this place was indeed a factory for repairing and building ships, just as he had guessed.

However, there were a lot of bloodstains on the ground here, and it seemed that a battle had taken place.

"Was it invaded by the tribes in the wilderness, or was there an internal conflict? But there is no breath of negative energy here, and it seems that no undead spirits have been born."

After looking around, Carl made a judgment.

At this moment, the iron ants seemed to have discovered something and began to make a "beep beep" sound towards Carl.

They could not master the language yet, but they could understand the words of Carl and others.

Carl flew straight over and found that three iron ants were pointing at a lever.

Without thinking too much, Carl directly pulled the lever.

With a "boom" sound, the door of the factory shed slowly opened, revealing the river outside.

"Oh! Good job! We can park the bronze-wood warship here!"

Although a bronze-wood warship is valuable in terms of raw materials and craftsmanship, Carl obviously cannot drive it all the way to Lonely Mountain.

Carl originally planned to abandon the ship directly at the port, but now that there is a better place to dock, he naturally would not waste it.

"Search the area to see if there is any danger. I will go back and bring the boat over!"

Carl patted the three iron ants and flew back into the sky.

The iron ants seemed to feel that they had helped Carl, and they celebrated with dancing after Carl left.

When they had their fun, they began to patrol the shipyard as Carl had just said.

In the shadows, a creature that looked like a black panther but had six limbs and two tentacles extending from its shoulders looked at the patrolling iron ants and gurgled in its throat.

This is a displacement beast. Judging from the muscle contours and appearance of its body, this displacement beast is already an adult.

They are cruel hunters who hunt and play with their prey because they are bored.

It is rumored that they were born in the Fairy Wilds and are mortal enemies with the Flash Dogs who will fight when they meet.

After killing the prey, the displacement beast will use the tentacles on its shoulders to carry the prey's body to a safe place to eat. This is probably the reason why there is blood all over the shipyard but no body remains.

Looking at the three iron ants, the displacement beast moved slowly and hid its body with the help of shadows.

It has a high intelligence and is very proud of its hunting skills.

Iron ants are something it has never seen before, so it plans to hunt two for fun.

Skillfully displaying its abilities, the displacement beast's figure was trance for a moment, and then it appeared directly in another place.

This is not a flash or teleportation, but it uses its own ability to shift its own image.

The real displacement beast is still standing here, and it is just an illusion in the distance.

This is the origin of the displacement beast's ability.

With a cruel smile on the corner of its mouth, the displacement beast deliberately made some noise and waited for the prey to come.

It doesn't know how many times it has used this hunting technique, but every time it is very effective.

Just when it imagined that the iron ants were deceived by itself and then killed by itself under its fangs and claws, suddenly, a beam of energy beam flew towards this side.

The energy beam flew dangerously past the tip of the displacement beast's nose, and it could clearly feel the biting coldness in the energy.

No, buddy.JPG

Unexpectedly, the prey this time was a group of guys pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. The displacement beast turned around and had already had a vague intention to leave.

At this moment, one of its claws suddenly stepped on a dry branch.

A crisp cracking sound was heard immediately, and the next second, three spells of different colors surrounded the direction of the sound.

Seeing the power of frost, fire and lightning coming, the displacement beast rolled on the ground and dodged the attack directly to the side.

But the iron ants completely regarded it as a dangerous element, turning into a flying saucer on the spot. They flew towards this side quickly regardless of the possible danger.

At the same time, the special version of the magic cannon behind them continued to fire.

Seeing the iron ants catching up, the displacement beast admitted that he was a little panicked.

These three weird guys looked inconspicuous, but I didn't expect them to be so aggressive!

The body rushed to the side for a few meters, and the displacement beast quickly used its ability again to create its own phantom on the other side.

It wanted to attract three iron ants to attack its phantom, and then take the opportunity to escape in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, the iron ants quickly adjusted the trajectory and attacked the phantom.

The displacement beast, which had played tricks on the iron ants, grinned, then turned and fled to the other side as quickly as possible.

But at this moment, it suddenly felt a cold energy hit its back.

The two tentacles were quickly paralyzed, as if it had never had them.

The displacement beast was about to turn around, but found that its body was stiff, as if it had encountered the truth.

Immediately afterwards, more and more parts of its body lost consciousness, and in the end even its consciousness was blurred.

When Carl drove the boat back to the shipyard, he found that his pets were surrounding an ice sculpture frozen by solid nitrogen, defending it with full vigilance.

"Hey! An adult displacement beast? I heard that the fur of this thing is very popular among the noble ladies of Khorvaire. Well done!"

Looking at the three iron ants with a smile, Carl stroked their hard metal bodies and gave these little guys the rewards they deserved like petting a dog.

The fur of this displacement beast is big enough, and he feels that he can cut a shawl for each of Hope and the other two.

Carefully carrying the ice sculpture of the displacement beast to the river, Carl and the three iron ants sank it into the water, and then slowly heated the surrounding water surface to keep the river water at a certain temperature as much as possible to help the displacement beast thaw as soon as possible.

As expected, the displacement beast is dead.

The conditions required to revive a living thing after freezing are still very harsh. The cells of the displacement beast died because the liquid inside the cells was pierced by ice crystals after the body was frozen.
