Chapter 221: Shadow Island (8)

Shi Lang and Ancestor Hua looked ahead at the same time. I saw the figures of two women dressed in white disappearing in the thick fog, and the two figures seemed to be floating in the air, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes far and sometimes near.

"Catch up. I still don't believe that there are ghosts on this island. Shi Lang pulled out the embroidered spring knife and led Hua Xianzu and Bau to chase forward in great strides.

The two figures in front of them are as if they have been calculated, always keeping a distance of about ten meters from the three people behind them.

After Shi Lang and the three of them chased forward for more than ten minutes, a low mountain cliff appeared in front of them. The figures of the two women just now seemed to evaporate at this moment, and they disappeared without a trace.

"Look, two commanders." Bau suddenly discovers an irregular cave beneath the cliff.

"Did you hide inside?" Hua Xianzu said.

"If we want to stay on this island for a long time, we have to find out who these two figures really are. Whether they are friends or foes, we have to catch them and see what is going on. Shi Lang said.

"Yes, thinking of the rumors that I heard about the haunting of the island before, these two figures are a little strange." Hua Xianzu said.

"Wait a minute, two commanders, I'll go in and check."

"No, in the face of unknown danger, the three of us had better be together. Let's go in together. ”

Shi Lang didn't want to put Bau in danger alone, so he took the lead in drilling into the hole with a knife. Hua Xianzu and Bau followed behind Shi Lang and entered the cave in turn.

Entering the cave, the light immediately dimmed. The cave was just high enough for three people to stand and walk.

Shi Lang held the embroidered spring knife tightly in his hand, and led his two companions, who were also armed with weapons, to carefully touch the depths of the cave.

There are stumbling gravel and stone pits underfoot, and if you are not careful, you may fall.

As they walked inside, the trio gradually adjusted to the dim light inside. It is a lava cave with walls full of protruding rocks. The ground is a little damp.

A corner appears in front of you. Shi Lang, who was walking in front, had just turned around, and was suddenly hit by a hard object under his feet. Shi Lang looked down, and the damp ground was full of white bones.

"It's human bones." Bau stepped forward, looked down and said.

"So many bones! It seems that there are more than a dozen people who have died here. Hua Xianzu said.

"Who are these people? How did they die? Shi Lang squatted down and used the embroidered spring knife in his hand to open the skull of a dead man to see what was going on.

At the moment when Shi Lang opened the skull, the three of them almost found the same thing: on the soft ground under the human bones, fist-sized dirt bags suddenly protruded, and then, the soil bags were instantly broken by something, and from under the dirt bags, huge ants scrambled to crawl out.

"No, it's a man-eating ant. Come on. Bau screamed in horror and turned to run.

Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor were also shocked by Bau's performance, and at the moment when the two of them were stunned, the ground under their feet was already densely crawled with ants, and the ant colony quickly gathered and attacked the two.

Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor did not dare to slack off, and quickly turned around and fled for their lives.

Tens of thousands of ants quickly gathered behind them, and the ant colony followed the three of them like a lava pouring down from the top of the mountain.

"These tens of thousands of ants will devour a pig in ten minutes, and we have to get out of the cave quickly. It's safe to get to the outside of the cave. They are afraid of light. Bau said as he ran.

"It seems that those bones were left behind by these ants after eating the human body." Hua Xianzu said.

"It's a good thing that Bau is here, otherwise we would have been surrounded by ant colonies." Shi Lang was a little afraid.

The three of them ran wildly panting, and finally saw the light at the entrance of the cave.

"Wait!" Hua Xianzu just wanted to rush out of the cave, but was suddenly grabbed by Bau behind him.

The three of them discovered at the same time that the entrance to the cave that had just been opened had been sealed by a dense spider web. Above the spider web, there were several fluffy spiders the size of fists.

"Red killer spider!" Bau exclaimed again.

"Is it dangerous?" Shi Lang asked Bau.

"This giant killer spider has a keen sense of touch, as soon as the spider web moves, it immediately senses the location of its prey, and then quickly climbs on the prey and attacks with unimaginable speed. Its teeth are capable of emitting a highly venomous poison that is no less poisonous than a cobra. ”

"We're going to rush over quickly." Hua Xianzu said anxiously.

"No, I can't. Its cobwebs are different from ordinary cobwebs and are full of toughness. If you break in, it will immediately wrap around the person and you can't get rid of it. It is not possible to rush unless it is burned with fire. ”

"Do you have a fire sickle with you?" Shi Lang touched his pocket and asked the two companions.

"Nope."

"I didn't bring it either."

"Do you want to smash it with a stone?" Shi Lang asked.

"It's all small rocks in the ground, and it doesn't work at all. Even if you can make a hole in a spider's web, the spider will quickly fill it. Bau shook his head helplessly.

"Are we going to die in this hellish place?" Shi Lang sighed.

At this moment, a woman's wild laughter came from outside the cave: "Hahaha...... ghost of the Japanese country, let you taste the taste of ant gnawing today." Sisters, I avenge you once again. ”

"Sister Cambodia, let's get closer to the entrance of the cave and take a good look at the tragic death of these three Japanese ghosts." It was another woman's voice.

The three of them followed the sound to the entrance of the cave. At the entrance of the cave, two faces of gloating women appeared.

"Zhuqing? Is that you? Bamboo green. Shi Lang suddenly looked at one of the women with a familiar face.

"You...... Who are you? How do you know my name? The woman asked, surprised.

"It's really you, Zhuqing. I'm Shi Lang, Shi Lang who once saved you. ”

"Really? Brother Shi Lang. How did you get here? ”

"It's hard to put into words. You find a way to get us out first. There was a large swarm of man-eating ants chasing us in the cave. Hurry up! ”

"Good. I'll figure it out. Cambodian sisters, hurry up and get them out. Mistaken. They are mine...... Friends, not Japanese people. ”

"Good. I'll light the torch. The woman, known as Khan Li, took out the scythe from her bosom, lit the torch in her hand, and brought the burning torch close to the spider's web. The cobwebs were instantly ignited, and several poisonous spiders lying on them fled in panic.

"Brother Shi Lang, come out quickly!" Zhuqing shouted.

Shi Lang and the three of them rushed out of the cave quickly.

Looking at the ant colony that had just caught up and was lingering at the entrance of the cave, Shi Lang and the three couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Shi Lang, you ...... How did you get to this desert island? Zhu Qing looked at Shi Lang and the three of them and asked.

"We're here on a mission. Why are you here? Aren't you a monk? ”

"It's hard to put into words. It's all made by the hateful Japanese people, so I have nowhere to stand, so I have to hide on this desert island to survive. ”

"That'...... She's ......"

"I forgot to introduce to you, this is a Cambodian girl, her big name is Li Youmei, she used to be a well-known prostitute in Busan. It was also because of the Japanese people that they were forced to stay on this desert island. Cambodian sister, let me introduce to you, this is what I once told you, the big brother of Daming Jinyi Wei Shi Langshi who once saved me. ”

"Brother Shi, hello!" At this time, Li Youmei, who had already extinguished the torch, hurriedly saluted Shi Lang.

"Hello! Let me introduce you to two of my colleagues, this is Commander Hua and this is Commander Bau. ”

"Good two commanders!" Both women saluted.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"Commander Hua, Commander Bawu, this is Zhuqing, a Korean woman that I rescued from the Japanese in Namwon City with the commander and Lao Shi."

Hua Xianzu and Bau nodded to Zhu Qing.

"Hey, Brother Shi Lang, why don't you see Sister Ru Liu? Didn't he come with you? ”

"Come on, in the three houses to the south. Why don't I lead you there, and you will see you?" ”

"Okay. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss Sister Ruliu a little. ”

"Then let's go now."

"Okay."

The five of them walked back along the path where Shi Lang and the three came.

"Hey, Zhuqing, tell me how you got to this desert island." Shi Lang said to Zhu Qing as he walked.

"Since you left, I have been practicing in the nunnery with peace of mind, hoping that I can completely forget the past and live the rest of my life quietly.

"But a few months ago, the Japanese ** team that withdrew south from the direction of Wang Jing passed through Nanyuan City. When the Japanese people passed through our nunnery, they forcibly took away all the young nuns in the nunnery.

"The teacher was too angry and reasoned with them. A frenzied Japanese ** official hacked Shi Tai to death on the spot.

"On the way south from Nanyuan, we were humiliated. After being taken to Busan, we were taken by them to their warships to serve their naval army.

"While they weren't looking, I quietly jumped into the water and swam desperately to the Shadow Island. Here I met a Cambodian girl who has been on this island for more than a year. We live a pure life here. ”

"Then why are you pretending to be ghosts to scare us?"

"Brother Shi Lang, this is a misunderstanding. We thought you were Japanese people. To tell you the truth, before I landed on this desert island, Cambodian Sister had already used this method on this island to effectively kill dozens of Japanese people who had been stationed on this island, and finally forced the Japanese people on the island not to dare to stay any longer and evacuate all of them from the desert island. ”

"Oh, I see. It turns out that the haunting on Shadow Island that we heard about was actually done by you. Hua Xianzu said to Li Youmei.

Li Youmei's eyes were cold and said, "Yes." I did it. If they stay on this island, I'll kill them all.

"You may have heard that after the Japanese occupied Busan last year, they forcibly brought more than 20 prostitutes from Busan City to this Jeoping Island to celebrate. I was one of the two dozen prostitutes.

"On this island, the hateful Wa people not only demanded that we provide them with singing and dancing performances, but also manipulated us, and even forced us to provide them with sexual services.

"My sisters and I were so angry that while they were drunk, we jumped off a cliff with one of the Japanese in our arms, hoping to die with them. Since I was familiar with the nature of the water, I struggled to climb to the shore and survived by jumping into the sea. The other sisters who jumped into the sea were buried in the sea with the Japanese people.

"At that time, I quietly climbed into the grass on the cliff and looked out. The dehumanized Japanese buried all the remaining nearly 20 sisters on the island.

"I fought back my anger and almost fainted. After the Japanese people on the island had left, I rushed to the place where my sisters were buried alive and frantically picked up the earth and rocks with my hands. To my disappointment, the buried sisters have long since lost their breath. At that time, I held my head in my hands that were ground up and bloodied, and cried until I fainted.

"When I woke up, it was midnight. Looking at the desolate island, I was terrified. I panicked and reburied my sisters, and then hid alone under a rock, and spent an unimaginably frightened night.

"The next day, I came to the shore, hoping to meet a fishing boat that would take me away from the desert island. But the weather didn't work out, and I waited a whole day, and I didn't wait for a fishing boat.

"Then I waited for three more days, but there was still no sign of the fishing boat. In desperation, I had to temporarily abandon my plans to leave the island and began to think about how to survive on this deserted island.

"In the beginning, I was worried about the predators on the island, so I climbed the trees at night and spent the night. Later, it was found that there were no fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves on this desert island, except for some poisonous ants and insects. There are many herbivores such as wild goats, rats, and rabbits, which provide good conditions for me to survive on the island. ”

"And where do you live?" Shi Lang asked.
