Chapter 557 Water Traces
"So heavy—"
Peggy's tone was somber as she looked up at Dick. "Could you help me take off my chainmail? I can barely walk in it."
Dick glanced at Peggy: "Chain armor can avoid a lot of damage. What you're wearing is already a set of leather armor, which doesn't offer much protection. You have to wear chain armor."
Safety is the top priority, especially Peggy's safety.
"But I'm really exhausted," Peggy said.
"Then you shouldn't have come with me in the first place," Dick said.
"Here we go again. I really don't like hearing you say things like that," Peggy said grumblingly. "Besides, staying here is too boring. I'd rather be tired than keep waiting."
Then you should shut up and quietly follow behind.
"I should have told her, right?" Dick thought to himself. "A good servant must learn to keep silent."
But it's estimated that Peggy never intended to be a good servant; she was just enjoying the novelty.
"This road can be dangerous, Peggy," Dick warned again.
The periodic earthquakes and the looming, towering monsters in the distance all told Dick that this island was anything but simple.
Moreover, it seems that multiple forces have simultaneously landed on Fallen Feather Island, and humans, unfortunately, love to deceive and plot against each other.
They kill each other.
Dick had to be careful, as his injuries had not yet healed.
At this moment, he was leading a team of five people.
The remaining three were elites selected by David for Dick, and they possessed considerable combat capabilities.
But if possible, Dick wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible.
They carried essential supplies for the exploration: tents, living tools, portable food, and clean fresh water.
There were also some medicines for emergency wound treatment, but Dick just hoped he wouldn't need them.
But Dick had no idea what was on that island.
According to Jonas Farrell and Anne, his goal was to find the stone-skinned parrot on the island and ask this legendary creature some questions.
The specific questions were in the envelope, and Anne instructed that they could only be viewed after seeing the stone-skinned parrot.
But do stone-skinned parrots really exist on this island?
Indeed, the island is teeming with parrots.
Three of the four exotic parrot species—the black-and-white parrot, the pheasant, and the dragon-scaled parrot—have already appeared.
Perhaps, the stone-skinned parrot exists on this island.
But how to find it is the key question.
Suddenly, Peggy said, "Hey, Dick, how about you catch me a few parrots to take home?"
"These wild birds are uncontrollable and may bring disaster and danger," Dick immediately refused.
"How boring—" Peggy, walking beside Dick, pouted.
Her head darted around, seemingly seeking more visual stimulation to pass the time.
However, her attitude at times did indeed cause Dick some concern.
But Peggy never left Dick's side from beginning to end, which is commendable.
Moreover, if they have any ideas, they will consult Dick in advance.
Although Dick approved of this behavior, he still hoped that Peggy would have fewer thoughts about it.
Dick examined his body and found it still somewhat stiff.
The serious injury he sustained a few months ago still has an impact on him.
If it weren't for Miss Harriet's superb medical skills and Mr. Mosley's guidance, he might not have woken up at that time.
It's already a miracle that I've recovered to about 80% of my physical condition.
Nevertheless, Dick had some inspiration after his last conversation with Mr. Mosley.
Dick gained a deeper understanding of "How to Train Your Dragon: Uriel's Fitness Secrets".
The power of the Dragon's Secret Technique seems to be used not only in combat, but its body specialization, which is as strong as that of an ancient dragon, may also be useful in daily life.
For example, the "Blue Dragon Eye" allows Dick to easily detect the presence of dynamic objects.
The "Green Dragon Horn" allows Dick to maintain a calm mind at all times.
However, these two profound techniques are extremely difficult to use. Dick must concentrate on controlling his power in order to maintain these techniques.
Using multiple profound techniques simultaneously is inherently difficult.
Dick had learned many martial arts techniques at the Knight Academy, but all martial arts techniques had standard operating procedures.
The academy explained everything in great detail, from the stance to the details of the body movements.
In fact, Dick also discovered that some martial arts techniques were combinations of basic martial arts techniques.
However, the difficulty of using these combined martial arts techniques did not increase much when learning them.
But Dick could foresee that his predecessors must have put in a lot of effort to develop these martial arts techniques and standardize their templates.
Dick, who was about to use multiple profound techniques simultaneously, also had to go through this process of exploration.
It's a pity we're not in the library right now; perhaps Mr. Mosley could offer Dick some useful advice.
However, Dick also discovered that after prioritizing the use of the "Green Dragon Horn," it became much easier for him to use other secret techniques.
This was probably because this profound technique enhanced Dick's mental abilities.
In short, given Dick's current strength, he can probably defeat any enemy, unless they are too difficult or too numerous.
Moreover, this was with Peggy along.
Despite being a bit overconfident, Dick felt that he might be able to hold his own against the loyal dog for a while.
Just then, Dick suddenly noticed that something seemed amiss ahead.
Dick strode over and squatted down to examine the area.
Peggy quickly followed behind him: "What's wrong?"
“The ground is damp,” Dick replied, “but there’s no sign of rain nearby.”
"Ah!" Peggy nodded in sudden realization. "So, something got wet here?"
"Localized dampness is probably nothing to be alarmed about."
Dick slowly stood up and looked along the watermarks. "But look," he said, "these watermarks form a long, narrow band, which means a huge amount of water. Who would carry such a large amount of water and wet the ground?"
Dick had no idea of this intention.
Peggy seemed to agree, nodding. "So what's going on?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not normal," Dick said, narrowing his eyes. "And this island is the anomaly itself. My purpose right now can also be described as absurd—perhaps we can start by tracing this water trail."
At least, this is a possible approach.
Dick, intending to investigate, gave Peggy a look, and she paused for a moment, presumably indicating that she would be careful.
He then gave the other three clear instructions and began to follow the water trail.
The further Dick walked, the stranger it seemed; the ground was damp, and there was no sign of it fading.
The water stains became even more noticeable as Dick approached.
Suddenly, Dick noticed something moving ahead.
He immediately activated his "Blue Dragon Eye" to observe, and saw a group of tall humanoid creatures slowly moving forward.
Wherever they went, they left watermarks.
Dick took a deep breath, just as he was pondering how to deal with the situation—
He heard Peggy scream, "Ahhh!"
A huge creature with bluish-gray skin is attacking Peggy.
