Chapter 19: Bones in the Ashes
However, no matter how much I asked, the five men remained adamant that what they were seeing was definitely not human, but some kind of animal, or monster, with a mind similar to that of a human.
......
I'm a little speechless.
"Have you found the location of the smoke?" I continued.
Lin Hai nodded: "Found it, but we'd better stay away from those places......"
"Why?" I wondered, "Aren't you going to go to those of your companions?"
"I'm not looking for it...... Because if we continue to look for it, I'm afraid we will all be in danger ourselves. ”
"Why?"
"Because we're in the place where the smoke came from...... Two more people were lost. ”
"Loss? Is it dead?"
"It was captured by those monsters. ”
"So you saw those things again?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's go!" I was annoyed all of a sudden: "Let's go and see again this time! Won't it be over to catch these pretending to be ghosts?"
However, Lin Hai and the other four people all showed a look of fear on their faces: "We won't go, I advise you not to go." ”
"Why?
"Haven't you noticed yet, there's something wrong with this island!" said Lin Hai's expression was the same as his mother's ghost story.
"What's the problem? Isn't that normal? There are flowers, grass, and animals. ”
"Don't you think it's strange why no help has come since the wreck, because this is a cursed island!"
......
I glanced back at my girl, Chen Mengyu and Zhou Qiqi's expressions were the same as mine, obviously thinking that Lin Hai was crazy, while Xia Ran looked like she was listening carefully, as if she was very interested in Lin Hai's words.
Sure enough, Xia Ran immediately asked, "What curse?"
"This island is certainly not visible to others! There are many dangers lurking on the island, and if we want to survive now, we can only protect ourselves, find a place to hide, and then find a chance to leave this island. ”
"I don't believe in bullshit curses, and I don't believe in monsters. I exclaimed, "If you don't go, I'll find it myself!"
"Kid, don't go. The middle-aged woman also frowned and said to me, "You are so young, it is not worth your life." ”
"Auntie, where are the demons and monsters in this world? This must be someone pretending to be a ghost, why don't we just find them out?"
"Even if someone is pretending to be a ghost, then this is a group of people who are not easy to deal with, I advise you to listen to Lin Hai and follow us to find a place to hide. The middle-aged woman continued to persuade.
"No! they can't follow us!" Lin Hai said loudly.
"You still don't trust me?" I said, looking at him in amazement, "Do you think we're bad people?"
"Whether it is or not, there is no way I will let you stay with us. Lin Hai said coldly.
At this time, I remembered that Liu Yong had a quarrel with them before, so I said that I was not with them.
However, Lin Hai was still unmoved, and I saw several other people, except for the middle-aged woman, everyone else also had a resolute expression of resistance to us.
"It was my fault to shoot you in the shoulder just now, but I have already warned you that you should stop looking for it, and it will be considered a flat matter, if you are obsessed, then I can't control it. After Lin Hai said this, he beckoned several of his companions to follow him and quickly burrowed into the depths of the forest.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
However, no one answered me, the middle-aged woman wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Hai with a gesture, and soon the five people picked up a small amount of supplies on the ground and disappeared from our field of vision.
Grass.
Is it so difficult to unite with other survivors?
After the men left, the girl and I stood there for a while, and then I began to ask the three of them for their opinions: "Shall we go to the place where the smoke has just gotten to see what is going on?"
Chen Mengyu seemed to hesitate: "That Lin Hai's words just now don't seem to be alarmist...... Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go?"
However, Zhou Qiqi looked unbelieving: "I agree with Xiao Chen! Where are there any monsters? There must be someone playing ghosts, let's go find them out!"
Then I saw Chen Mengyu and Zhou Qiqi arguing, and finally Chen Mengyu said: "But now that the smoke is gone, even if we want to look for it, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it, right?"
I also glanced at the sky, and the smoke had indeed dissipated, and we had just followed Lin Hai in the woods, so it was impossible to determine the location of the smoke.
Just when I was at a loss, I heard Xia Ran say: "I remember the location of the smoke, if you want to go, just follow me." ”
"Are you sure?" I said, skeptically.
"Sure. Xia Ran nodded: "My sense of direction is okay, it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Xia Ran didn't express her opinion just now, so I asked her what she thought of the "monster" in Lin Haikou's mouth just now.
"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. After Xia Ran dropped such an inexplicable sentence, he picked up the trunk spear on the ground and flashed and walked out in the opposite direction where Lin Hai and them left just now, and Chen Mengyu and Zhou Qiqi and I also picked up their weapons and followed.
Xia Ran's sense of direction was really not covered, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I suddenly saw a large area in front of me that had obviously been burned by the fire.
Since Lin Hai had just said that two of them were missing in this place, we didn't dare to act rashly, so we hid behind the forest and observed for a while, and after confirming that there was no sound, I took the lead and walked cautiously towards the center of the "ashes".
The area that was burned by the fire was about 100 square meters, and the ashes on the ground alone were piled up with a thickness of more than ten centimeters, so you can imagine how big the fire was before.
Moreover, the person who lit the fire did not seem to want the flames to spread to the woods, so he made a fence of sand and soil at the edge of the burning area, and the fire was basically enclosed in this zone.
I picked up the ashes on the ground with a stick and examined them, and at first it was nothing special, it was all burning ashes of grass and trees, but I was frightened when I looked at it.
Because I saw some bones!
None of us knew anything about the skeletal structure of human bodies and animals, and for a while we couldn't figure out whether it was human or animal bones.
I felt a chill on my back, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at us in the surrounding woods, I thought that Lin Hai's words were correct, we couldn't continue to stay here, the current situation was that we were in the light, and those unknown things were hiding in the shadows, and if we stayed any longer, we would definitely suffer a lot.
I was just about to wave my hand to tell the three girls to leave this place quickly, when I heard a "whooshing" sound from the surrounding woods.
......
"Someone!" Zhou Qiqi shouted in a suppressed voice.
Several of our faces changed color with fright, and the palms of my hands holding the hatchet were now covered with sweat.
The "whoosh" continued, and I thought of the scene when Lin Hai shot me with a bow and arrow just now, and thought that in this case, I had to lower my body, otherwise I would become a living target if I was standing.
I immediately shouted for Chen Mengyu and the others to lie down, and now I can't care about the ashes on the ground.
But then I heard Xia Ran say: "Don't lie down......"
"Why?" I asked, frowning.
Xia Ran's voice trembled a little: "Listen...... It's not people who come...... It seems like...... It's a wolf!"
......
"Whew......"
But no, it's a wolf!
I'm grass, could it be that the two missing people that Lin Hai just said were actually taken away by wolves?
Immediately afterwards, I saw two gray figures flash in the forest in front of me.
"Hurry! Stand back!" I yelled.
We were now in the middle of the burning area, and there were no trees to climb in this area, so I took the three girls and quickly stepped back behind me, intending to find a tree to climb first.
However, immediately afterward, several wolf howls were heard from the direction of our retreat, and soon two wolf shadows came out and blocked our retreat.
Grandma's!
One of the wolves seemed to be an old acquaintance! It was the stoutly headed wolf! The wolf raised its head high, as if it were about to let out a piercing wolf howl, but before the poor creature could howl, I saw another thing emerge from the forest behind it, and it was so fast that it threw the wolf to the ground in an instant, and then bit it on its neck.
