Chapter 396: Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood
Xia Yu, Luo Xiaofeng, and Lu Yong all dived underwater, and the two young men wiped the rain from their faces and continued rowing.
The two boats moved forward a little further, and in the middle of the storm, a crow flew over.
The two youths stopped, and the crow landed on the side of the boat, its mouth opened, and a piece of gold fell on the boat.
"There's a Raven, thank you, thank you," the two young men picked up the gold and thanked the crow.
The crow croaked, which meant to tell the two young men to hurry away. The two young men put away the gold, left a small boat full of daily necessities, and rowed the boat in the direction of Yangjiazhuang.
Xia Yu dragged the rope in his hand, pulled Lu Yong, and Luo Xiaofeng hid under the boat, he watched the two young men drive another small boat, walking farther and farther, until they walked out of the sea of death and out of the area covered by dark clouds.
As soon as the two young men walked out, the wind and rain stopped, but the dark clouds had not yet dispersed.
The crow stood on the boat, flapping its wings and croaking twice, and the boat moved on its own and drifted away into the distance.
Xia Yu quietly poked his head out of the water, looked at the crow, and found that this crow was not like an ordinary crow, its eyes were blood-red, and there was a terrifying aura of (yīn) on it.
The crow stood on the side of the boat, as if it were a helmsman, croaking and directing the boat forward.
Xia Yu found that the boat was gradually approaching an island, and after taking a closer look at the island, Xia Yu was surprised.
The island is not too big, and there are hills on the island, all of which are piled up with human heads, some of which are dried into skeletons, some of whom have black and rotten hair, and some of whom have fresh heads and clear facial features.
These hills are piled up, and tens of thousands of heads are needed, not to mention them. Seeing tens of thousands of human heads appear in front of his eyes, the kind of shock that goes straight to the depths of his soul is simply difficult to describe in words.
This small island should be the legendary Skull Island.
The crow commanded the boat to sail to Skull Island, close to Skull Island, Xia Yu found that the sea water on the shore was slimy, mixed with a large amount of blood, and there were eyes, hands and feet, intestines and other human tissues floating in this blood water, Xia Yu almost didn't hold his breath and vomited.
The boat finally landed, and Xia Yu saw big trees on the shore again, these big trees had no leaves, they were bare, and their branches were horizontal, like hideous monsters. There were corpses hanging from the trunks of the trees, like the fruit of a large tree.
Xia Yu remembered the little beggar he saw on the beach, no wonder the little beggar was crazy, seeing this scene, the person who can not collapse is definitely a god.
The crow fluttered its wings and croaked twice, Xia Yu took the opportunity to get out of the water, took Luo Xiaofeng, dragged Lu Yong, and ran to the shore.
Lu Yong stayed in the water for a long time, poured a belly of seawater, choked and rolled his eyes, sprayed water from his nostrils and mouth together, and became a waste person.
Xia Yu threw Lu Yong aside and went to support Luo Xiaofeng, Luo Xiaofeng saw the scene in front of him, the hairs on (shēn) stood up one by one, and he was about to scream when he opened his mouth.
Xia Yu hurriedly stepped forward, covered Luo Xiaofeng's mouth, and whispered, "Don't make noise." ”
Luo Xiaofeng is a martial artist and thinks she has some courage, but after seeing the horror of this Skull Island, she is still trembling with fear, her legs are weak, and she can't stand.
I can't imagine that there is such a terrifying place in the world.
Xia Yu patted Luo Xiaofeng, made her feel a little strength support, dragged her, and hid behind a dead tree.
The crow stood on a dead tree, croaking, and after a while, a flock of skeletons creaked over and began to carry the ship's cargo. The skeletons took their cargo and lined up to walk deeper into Skull Island.
Xia Yu took a look, and the entire Skull Island was full of ghosts, except for corpses, dead trees, stones, and clods of soil, there was nothing to be seen, and there was no trace of life.
Xia Yu thought to himself, people say that hell is terrifying, and the real hell is this scene.
Xia Yu looked at Luo Xiaofeng on the side, and was so frightened that he was paralyzed, and he couldn't do the task anymore.
Xia Yu said: "Senior Sister Luo, you are watching Lu Yong here, wait for me, I will come back in a while." ”
Luo Xiaofeng frowned, tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and nodded towards Xia Yu.
Xia Yu tiptoed, slipped out from behind the dead tree, turned around on the skull island, and saw a large group of crows croaking and hovering in the air, and there were two people sitting there playing chess under the crow flock.
One of these two people is a fierce-looking old man, and the other is a camel with a strange and ugly appearance, Xia Yu took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it to look at it.
There is a portrait drawn on the paper, very similar to the old man with the evil face, who is the target of this mission - the old monster.
The other camel is the demon of Skull Island, called the Flower Camel.
The camel and the old monster sat on a stool made of bones, and the table in front of them was covered with a large piece of spliced human skin, on which were placed bone cups and bone plates. The bone cup contained bright red human blood, and the bone plate contained a bunch of human eyes.
The old monster and the flower camel stared at the chessboard, drinking a mouthful of human blood from time to time, chewing on the eyeballs of individuals, crunching and crunching, and they felt extremely sour when they listened to it.
"General, camel, you lost this game of chess again, hahaha~~~"
The old monster used a series of cannons and killed the old handsome man of the camel.
Hua Huozi stared at the chessboard, scratched his head, and shouted: "No, no, I didn't see this move just now, go back to chess, take a step back." ”
The old monster said: "Camel, if you lose, you lose, don't be fooled, today you have lost me eight games in a row." ”
"You let me take a move back, I'm sure I'll win this game!"
The old monster said: "Don't play, don't play, I'm hungry, look, everything you want is here, hurry up and prepare, let's eat." ”
The skeletons put the goods in front of the camel, who checked it, nodded, waved his hand, and shouted, "Send them all to the warehouse." ”
The skeletons picked up their goods again and walked towards the storeroom, which was a low stone room with no doors or windows.
In addition to the camels, crows, and skeletons on Skull Island, there are no outsiders who come to visit, so there is no need to prevent thieves and thefts.
The skeletons put the goods in the storeroom, and then turned (shēn) away, and Xia Yu saw that they were all far away, and quietly slipped over.
Xia Yu doesn't know much about the situation of Skull Island now, and he doesn't know what the strength of the flower camel and the old monster is, so Xia Yu didn't rashly make a move against the flower camel and the old monster.
Xia Yu found that there was a row of stone rooms next to the warehouse, and this row of stone rooms was equipped with doors and windows, which was more spacious and taller than the warehouse. Xia Yu thought to himself, this row of stone houses should be the residence of Hua Camel, go in and search it by himself to see what there is.
Xia Yu slipped into the stone house, and the furniture in the stone room was very simple, and many of them were sold to Hua Camel by the villagers of Yangjiazhuang.
Xia Yu is in the house
I searched and found a large wooden box, which was tied with two belts on it for easy carrying.
Xia Yu opened the big wooden box, which was full of pictures, and these pictures were all portraits of young girls and young women, which were vividly and lifelike.
Xia Yu faintly felt a breath of life coming out of the portrait.
Xia Yu remembered what the teacher of the task department told him before doing the task, saying that the old monster was proficient in some evil arts and could capture people's souls, could it be that these portraits were sealed with people's souls?
Xia Yu was thinking about it, and the voice of an old monster and a camel came from outside the house.
"Old monster, let's go inside, let's have a few drinks. ”
"Camel, don't be foolish when you're drinking. ”
Xia Yu glanced at it, the old monster and the flower camel had already walked to the door, and it was too late for him to run.
In a hurry, Xia Yu shrunk (shēn) and hid under the stone (chuáng).
The flower camel and the old monster entered the house and sat on the stone bench, and Xia Yu hid under the stone (chuáng) one meter away, secretly looking at the flower camel and the old monster.
The flower camel shouted outside the house, "Bring all the food and drink!"
After a while, several skeletons entered the room with wine and food like shopkeepers, and placed them on the stone table in front of the flower camel and the old monster.
Xia Yu took a look, these wines and dishes were all sold by the villagers of Yangjiazhuang to Hua Huozi.
Hua Huozi poured a glass of wine for the old monster and said, "This is the old wine of the Imperial Wine Workshop, and it took those people in Yangjiazhuang several months to buy it for me." ”
The old monster picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said, "Well, it is indeed good wine, good wine." ”
The flower camel tore off another chicken leg, put it in front of the old monster, and said: "Try this, Lao Wang's grilled chicken, it's delicious, I have to eat one every day, and I can't eat enough." ”
The old monster picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, enjoying the pleasure between his tongue and mouth. Eat a bite of chicken legs, take a sip of wine, the old monster's face is full of happiness.
"Ah, camel, you are too happy, this is simply the legendary fairy (rì)," the old monster was very envious of the flower camel.
Hua Huozi said: "I am alone on this Skull Island, except for eating and drinking, there is nothing else to do, this time you come, you must stay for a few more days, play chess and drink with me." ”
The old monster was full of oil, chewing on the chicken legs, and nodded again and again, "Okay, I wish I had a few more days of this fairy (rì)." ”
The camel and the old monster chatted and drank at the same time, and soon drank up a jar of wine, and the camel asked the skeleton waiter to bring another jar of wine. The skeleton waiter brought a jar of wine and placed it on the table.
The flower camel grabbed the wine jar and was about to pour the wine, when he suddenly stopped, and the god (qíng) was serious, wrinkled his nose and sniffed.
The old monster asked, "What's wrong?"
"I smell a stranger. ”
Xia Yu secretly said something bad, and shēn shrank into the corner, praying that the flower camel would not find himself.
The old monster said: "Camel, are you drunk, there are only two of us on this Skull Island, where are the strangers?"
"I've lived alone on this Skull Island for so many years, and when a stranger appears, I can smell him at once, yes, there must be a stranger on this island!"
