Chapter 22: No Sign, No Faith

Don't even think about picking up things that fall on the beach. Early in the morning, the beach was noisy. The three of them squinted for a while, and now they were still in good spirits, hiding far away on a rock pile on a high place to look over there. Qi Huan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw what was going on.

"It turns out that these monsters ...... Is there a brain? ”

"Huh?"

"They can talk."

"Aren't they just screaming?"

"No, they seem to be able to talk. Well, you see if they're talking to the villagers. ”

It's really a little far away, and Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan look a little difficult. They couldn't understand why this kid's eyes were sharper than those of the "hunters". The two of them narrowed their eyes and tried hard to look that way, but they did see a large number of people gathered there. Some of them were wearing dark robes, the color and style were not uniform, but they were all a little tattered, and they didn't know what material they were. The two of them could also tell as quickly as Qi Huan that it must be the youkai who attacked them last night. Although they cover their bodies and heads, they behave in the same way as they did last night. When I walk, I swayed slightly, as if I was moving my feet forward from left to right. Human footprints are deeper on the sand, they are very shallow, almost none.

The robed yokai were taller than humans, and the shortest were half a head larger than adult males. People talk to them face-to-face, and occasionally there are auxiliary movements on their hands, but they are all common. During the day, they resemble people.

"They can speak human language, huh?" Jun Aoyan was a little strange.

"Cut, maybe someone is talking nonsense."

"Not really, right?" Qi Huan scratched his head, "Alas, our luggage has been discovered, and now we all know that outsiders are on the island." Well, it's harder now. ”

Bai Ya glared at him: "Then who told you not to take it all." ”

"Then why don't you - forget it, as if we weren't exposed last night, it didn't turn out the same."

"Yes, it's the same, what are you more real?"

"Stop arguing." Jun Aoyan warned them in a low voice, "This distance, don't invite that group of people." ”

"You say...... Could this be the oracle of the two children's mouths? ”

"That's it?"

"That's it?"

Jun Aoyan's brows furrowed, and he commented with prejudice: "What's wrong to believe, believe in this kind of monster?" ”

"The same cannot be said. It's not appropriate to judge people by their appearance, and neither are youkai...... Of course, I'm not saying that these stinky fish and shrimp are good, I mean, maybe they have any real skills. Qi Huan pondered, "Some gods are not also three-headed and six-armed, or ivory wolf claws. It is only when they embody some inhuman qualities that people believe that ghosts and gods are different from humans. ”

"Then maybe the archipelagists have deceived these monsters?"

Qi Huan shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. But...... Maybe we can grab a villager and ask. ”

"What?" Jun Aoyan suspected that he hadn't heard clearly, "No, it's impossible. It's too risky, whether he says it or not, we'll definitely be exposed when we put him back. ”

"Won't it be exposed now?" Bai Ya asked rhetorically, "Whether you say it or not, don't let him go back." ”

Although the idea was Qi Huan's suggestion, he was a little awkward: "Isn't it a little inhumane?" ”

"My humanity has been exhausted by those two little children. Think for yourself, the child is still that virtuous, and these adults don't know what their brains have been washed into by the sea. ”

"Well, that's right. In this way, even if you catch someone, you can't ask why. ”

"Then what's the solution?"

"Why don't we leave it alone and go straight into the hinterland."

Jun Aoyan turned his head and looked at the endless greenery. When it was dark, those things only had outlines, and they couldn't tell the specific shapes. But after dawn they found that these plants were very special, most of them had never seen before. Even if some can barely call out their names, they are a little different from what they used to know. There were only two paths they could take: either through the sprawling village by the sea, or through this strange, uncharted jungle.

The trees here are connected to the sky, and only the thin rays of sunlight leak in between the leaves, and there is an indescribable sultry heat. There is a damp fragrance in the air, but this smell also changes, and sometimes it becomes sour, and I don't know if it is harmful to people. Bai Ya didn't tell them that when they were asleep at night, he saw a beautiful flower devouring a chipmunk...... The structure of the flower resembles a tongue, exuding a sweet smell that even a person can smell and even see the nectar in it. It lured the chipmunk to pass it over, slowly retracting, and suddenly the larger green pocket closed, enclosing it and the outstretched flowers. At dawn the next day, the flower reappeared in its place, and its color seemed to be more vivid.

This jungle is full of unknowns. Even the cries of birds and insects last night were different from what they were familiar with, and no one could guess the exact species. On the other side of the village, you have to deal with people and the terrifying-looking youkai.

"Ah, that's bad." Qi Huan's tone suddenly became tense.

Jun Aoyan looked over there and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is a magic weapon in the fallen chest...... It was prepared by the imperial court. Although it is not valuable, there are some items that are not commonly used on weekdays. If you can bring it, it will be a lot less trouble. I stuffed one or two little things that I had brought with me. ”

"Don't." Ao Yan shook his head, "This can't be helped. Unless we go and get it back. ”

"No...... Still have to take it away. Bai Ya unexpectedly supported Qi Huan, "If those monsters or villagers have a spell that divins the direction, they will track it down to us." They must all be taken away or destroyed to prevent future troubles. ”

"That's what Bai Shaoxia said."

"Okay." Jun Aoyan was a little melancholy, "I'm ...... I don't know much about that. Since you say so, do so. ”

It's back to square one: is it really going to kidnap a villager?

"It's okay to tie up a youkai."

"Are you serious?"

The two looked at Bai Ya in horror. How do you think this product is a one? But looking at his always serious look, they couldn't say anything. This sounds ridiculous and unworkable.

"I can't even understand what they're saying, what else do you want to do?" Qi Huan felt that he had heard a big joke.

"If the villagers can understand it, why can't we? There must be some way. Even if you really can't do it, you can catch one and slowly try out its weaknesses. ”

Bai Ya said solemnly, and the eyes of the other two suddenly became weird. The look looked like he was looking at a patient with an infectious disease, a little fear mixed with a hint of disgust.

"What? What kind of eyes are you looking at? ”

"Wow, Lao Bai, your heart and eyes are not ordinary villains."

"I also think something is wrong...... When my father led the team, he always hated the abuse of prisoners and the torture of confessions. ”

"Huh? What's the matter, your dad reasoning with them? ”

“…… So generally my father doesn't judge. ”

“……”

Qi Huan really didn't know what to say. Just this silent kung fu, Bai Ya said again:

"That's a youkai, don't forget how dangerous yesterday was. Jun Aoyan, don't the injuries on your body hurt? ”

"Ah......h

Saying this, Qi Huan also remembered. Ao Yan was scratched a few times by a monster. She pulled back her clothes slightly, worried that the blood would seep into the fabric and scab over. It wasn't like she hadn't felt that taste, it was worse than a new slash. Fortunately, she didn't bleed much, but the four wounds of different lengths appeared very deep, like four thin furrows, black in color. The rest of the skin is normal, and the face is not particularly painful. To be honest, if it weren't for Bai Ya's reminder, she would have forgotten about her injury.

"Well, don't worry about it......" Qi Huan asked cautiously.

"It's okay, I'm not in pain."

"The devil knows if it's going to get sick." Bai Ya pointed in the direction of the village, and there were many fewer people on the beach, "I don't know how many days it will take to walk in this dense forest, so we can only choose the village side." Maybe only the villagers have medicine. I haven't dealt with it all the time, I'm afraid I'm going to die next to the tree. ”

It seems to be the only way. They still summed it up and decided to get closer to the shore first. A lot of people should have searched for them, and now is a good opportunity. Doesn't the saying say that the most dangerous place is the safest?

"Wait a minute." Qi Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and conjured three white pills out of thin air.

"What is this?"

"Ate this. This is the Baihua Pill that I once stole, it will make the monster unable to smell people, and many charlatans use this thing. We need to be fast, it can only hold up for an hour. ”

"You really have a lot of strange things...... Jun Aoyan sighed.

The three of them went around and sneaked into the village. Sure enough, there were no people in the village, men, women, and children were mobilized. They crawled against the wall and hid behind a humble house. There were a few youkai guarding the box with the utensils, and a few people were kneeling, seemingly injured in the village, and they were unable to move. Judging from the weapons in the hands of those robed monsters, they must be monsters who fought with the three of them.

There is no communication between youkai. They are like a whole, and no matter who does anything, they can intersect with each other, as if they share the same brain. The ability to make this judgment quickly also benefited from last night's fight. They fit too closely together to be taken apart. After waiting for a long time, an old man finally said something to them. The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and they couldn't hear it clearly, and they wanted to stick out their ears like rabbits.

Then, one of the youkai replied.

It was a very strange sound, indistinct, sticky, and not a single sentence was out of tune. At first, Bai Ya thought it was too far away to hear clearly, but no matter how hard he tried to listen, he could only get the slippery sounds like different animals swallowing saliva. And many of the sounds are overlapping, I don't know how one mouth can say them.

“…… Do you hear me? Jun Aoyan asked.

Bai Ya didn't speak, and Qi Huan shook his head in disappointment.

"What kind of bird language is this......

"What's even more terrifying is that the uncle has no obstacle to communicate with it, and I accept it."

"If you want me to say, just a few monsters, rush out and kill them all, and then tie up the rest."

"I said Lao Bai, can you not always be so violent. What if I hurt a villager? ”

"What's the matter, their lives are more valuable than your own?"

There was a bit of a commotion here, and the youkai with a keen sense of hearing quickly noticed it. The three of them immediately held their breath, only their eyes dared to roll. After one of the youkai pointed to the house with his weapon, the old man waved his hand, picked up the crutch on the side, stood up, and hobbled towards them.

Bai Ya clenched the knife in his hand.
