Chapter 1349 Horseshoe Island

"Have you noticed that there seems to be a group of big birds hovering over Horseshoe Island?"

Aurora pointed to the sky above the island one mile away, reminding her companions to pay attention.

It's a pity that although Joan, Medea, and Ruby also have night vision capabilities, their vision is far less sharp than Lady Giant Eagle, and they can't see clearly the flock of birds she is talking about.

"Most seabirds are active during the day, and few fly in flocks at night..." The bow dragon head statue made a low voice, and it was Kista who was speaking.

Joan's heart moved slightly when he heard it, and he raised his hand to touch the prosthetic eye, activated the "Eagle Eye Technique", and established an invisible observation point above the horseshoe island.

He switched the viewing angle to the "Eagle Eye Observation Point" and looked around. Sure enough, as Aurora said, a group of gray-backed and white-bellied big birds hovered about a hundred feet above the island, with a wingspan of ten feet. Two feet long!

Qiao An had never seen this kind of strange bird before. Although it was slightly smaller than a giant eagle, it was by no means comparable to ordinary seabirds!

With curiosity, Qiao An adjusted the angle, and after careful observation, the surprise in his heart continued unabated.

These creatures hovering over the island have a streamlined body, smooth skin without feathers, a triangular head, and a pair of membranous long fins spread out on the sides, like wings flapping up and down, holding up their huge bodies to soar in the air. It looks like a big bird, but it is not a bird at all, it is more like a group of flying sharks!

Joan took a deep breath and projected what he saw onto the mirror in his hand.

Medea and Ruby saw the group of shark-headed, eagle-winged monsters above Horseshoe Island through the mirror, and they all looked at each other, not sure whether they were birds or fish.

"Flying Shark!"

Auror recognized the group of monsters at a glance, her pretty face glowed with excitement.

"There are more than 30 flying sharks above the island. It is impossible for so many flying sharks to gather on a deserted island for no reason. From this, it can be seen that this is definitely the lair of the sea wolf gang!"

Joan took out the "Navigation Compass", generated a map around "Horseshoe Island", enlarged the map of the area where the island's lagoon is located to the maximum size, and observed it intently.

"Joan, can you see the exact latitude and longitude of Horseshoe Island from the compass?" Medea asked.

Joan nodded, and casually told Medea the latitude and longitude coordinates measured by the "navigation compass", but he never took his eyes off the compass.

Medea opened the storage bag, took out a crystal stone the size of an egg, activated the "messaging technique" attached to the crystal, briefly described the findings of the trip, and attached the longitude and latitude coordinates of the sea wolf's lair, and sent it to To Sir Edric.

After sending the letter, Medea showed a relieved smile, turned her head and asked Aurora and Kista:

"Our mission has been completed, can we return to 'Eagle Island' next?"

"It's just the beginning of the good show, so why rush back!" Aurora said excitedly, "We're all here anyway, why don't we get rid of all the pirates on the island by the way, so as not to leave future troubles."

Medea hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "However, Sir Edric only entrusted us to find the pirate's lair, and did not ask us to destroy the pirates. Besides, we only have five people, and we may suffer losses in a conflict."

"In addition to finding the pirate's lair, we also have a mission to investigate the leader of the sea wolf bandits. This matter has not yet been established." Kista's voice came out from the speedboat, "If we can manage to capture a sea wolf alive, we can force the bandits out. We know exactly what mysterious figure we have taken refuge in."

"I can't even see a sea wolf on the island. Most of them are hiding in the depths of the lagoon. Let's take this opportunity to kill the group of flying sharks patrolling in the air first. When the sea wolf is disturbed and comes out of the water, it's just in time. Catch them all."

Aurora is obviously a "militant" and tried her best to encourage everyone to take the initiative.

"Even including the flying shark, the total number of bandits on the island is less than one hundred. With the strength of the five of us, we can completely wipe out the bandits. There is no need to wait for Uncle Edrick to bring reinforcements!"

Inspired by Aurora, Medea and Kista couldn't help being a little moved. If they wiped out the bandits on the island in one go, it would indeed save a lot of trouble.

"Joan, what do you think?" Medea, undecided, turned to look at the young mage.

Joan was still staring at the "navigation compass" and spoke in silence for a few seconds, but did not directly answer Medea's question.

"Judging from the picture presented by the compass, the structure of the bottom of the central lagoon of Horseshoe Island is very complicated. Countless reefs and coral clumps together form a maze. I even suspect that there are artificial components in it."

"You mean, the sea wolf built a labyrinth at the bottom of the lagoon? What is their purpose?" Medea asked in surprise.

"I don't know that either." Joan shook his head frankly, "What I'm more concerned about is that the sea wolf that jumped into the lake just now disappeared under the lake surface for more than ten minutes, and it hasn't surfaced yet. Isn't he afraid of suffocating to death by breathing on the surface of the water?"

"This...could it be that there are caves full of air at the bottom of the lake for breathing, or using spells such as 'water breathing' to maintain breathing?" Medea guessed.

"The sea wolf I tracked before didn't have the ability to cast spells. As for underwater cavities or huge air bubbles, it is really possible to see them from the 'navigation compass'. However, this is not something that sea wolves can create. We must use powerful Magic is possible."

Joan thought for a while, and then said: "After the sea wolf jumped into the lagoon, the 'Scry' that I applied to him was cut off, which indicates that there is likely to be a magic barrier that blocks detection in the lake. There are indications that there is at least one high-level spellcaster lurking in the lake, and that person may well be the leader of the Sea Wolves gang."

"According to your analysis, the situation on the island is more complicated than what we have seen so far. It is better not to venture on the island. Anyway, wait for Sir Edric's reply first." Medea said cautiously.

Aurora was rather reluctant, but thinking of Sir Edric's advice to her before leaving, she had no choice but to suppress her aggressive temper and respect the safer decision made by Joan and Medea.

"Brother Joan, the group of flying sharks on the island seem to be flying towards us! They must have spotted us, right?"

Among the four people on the boat, only Ruby did not participate in the debate. She had been paying attention to the movement on the Horseshoe Island. She vaguely saw the swarm of flying sharks moving towards the waters where the speedboat was moored, and immediately alerted her companions.

Aurora turned around and looked towards Horseshoe Island, her complexion changed, and she shouted angrily: "We are so far away from Horseshoe Island, and the sky is so dark, the night vision of flying sharks is far inferior to that of our Giant Eagles, it stands to reason It is impossible to see such a far place, how would they know that someone is hiding in this area?!"
