Chapter 6 The Sea of Suffering is Boundless
For the bones of strangers, all they can do is to bury them. Looking around, you can only be buried under a tree.
The beach is good for digging holes. Guanglong dug up big enough, and Yipinlan poured all the bones into it. After being buried, I wanted to carve something on the tree, but I didn't know what his name was. Anyway, no one came to the bitter sea, so I didn't erect a monument.
Jin Lao is particular about it, saying that the rules cannot be changed. So he engraved the words "bitter sea and bitter people" on the tree, which should be a tombstone.
Xiao Ling said sadly: "He is dead and we are still buried." If we die, who else will be buried? ”
buried the bitter people, and never saw Chu Chu go down the tree. Guanglong called to it, but heard only a squeak but did not show up. Could it be that there is some secret hidden in the canopy?
Among them, only Guanglong is still strong. The good thing is that the tree is sloping, and it is not difficult to climb. Inside the canopy, the branches are pruned and opened, and when you go to the bedroom, the branches are soft and suitable for sleeping.
Chu Chu was wearing the torn clothes of a hard-working man, and was lying on the branches to enjoy the fruits beautifully. It was stunned at first when it saw Guanglong coming, and then ate it regardless of it. Guanglong couldn't help but curse secretly, Chu Chu is really becoming more and more like a human.
There was not much fruit in the canopy, and most of it was swept away by them. You must control the amount of food you eat, otherwise you will have a harder time starving in the future.
Look at the dense leaves in front of you~ place, there is a palm-sized gap, just in front of the vast sea of bitterness. Guanglong thought, the hard-working people are just sitting here looking at the bitter sea and waiting for a miracle.
There is nothing else, Chu Chu is nothing more than laziness if he doesn't get off the tree. Guanglong picked the remaining fruits, threw them all to Yipinlan, and instructed them to reserve according to the amount. Guanglong pulled Chu Chu and turned back, looking up to see a dazzling pattern carved on the trunk.
The sign of spades.
Guanglong froze. Are the bitter people the spades? Maybe someone related to the Party of Spades. It is too coincidental to be able to meet acquaintances in the uninhabited sea of bitterness. The party of spades is really everywhere.
Back on the ground, Guanglong didn't mention the spade pattern, otherwise it would have become the target of public criticism.
The other tree also had a lot of fruit, and they picked it one after another. According to the statistics, the fruit is enough for 3 days. But what to do after 3 days, and then eat the fishy blue light algae? Will there be islands like Twin Tree Island, with fresh fruits?
It's time to think about whether or not to continue going to sea.
Guanglong and Xiaoling are unwilling to cross the ocean, after all, the sea of bitterness is boundless and will never end. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; Yi Pinlan and Jin Lao and his wife advocate going to sea, and Shuangshu Island is only a transit point, and they must use limited resources and time to find opportunities to break through the bitter sea. Even if the chances are slim, it's better than sitting and waiting to die. They can't expect people to come to their rescue, they can only rely on themselves.
Yes, there will be a day when the food will run out. Guanglong doesn't want to die a painful death like a miserable person, and no one cares. He believed that there was no end to the heavens.
Xiaoling has always been reluctant to be displaced, and wants to be down-to-earth and stable. She would rather die than have a place to be buried, and would rather be next to the miserable. They couldn't resist and promised her to leave the next day.
At night, they cut down the branches and leaves of the trees and lit bonfires. This kind of light and warmth was not found in the previous drifting at sea. They sat around and felt the unbridled leap of the flames.
They don't feel sleepy, they have their own thoughts, they think about food, and they fantasize about escaping from the sea of suffering.
Yi Pinlan interrupted the silence, "Everyone, I know that there is no future in the Sea of Suffering. But how do you know without trying? She said to Xiao Ling, the more difficult it is, the more stable people's hearts.
Jin Lao replied: "You said that the bitter sea is shown on the map, do you remember the islands in the sea?" ”
The location of the island in the sea is a matter of food.
Yi Pinlan shook her head and said, "No, it's the sea." Not to mention Twin Tree Island, it doesn't even show it on the map of Prison Island. ”
It's right to think about it, who is okay to come to the bitter sea with no signs of life.
Yi Pinlan continued, "Actually, the Sea of Bitterness was once the sea of exile in our Netherworld. So there was no one to rescue. ”
Mrs. Jin exclaimed, "The bitter sea is your country's penal colony? Are we not criminals? ”
Yi Pinlan responded, "Not bad. The criminals who were exiled to the sea of suffering have never returned, and it can be said that it is more cruel than the death penalty. ”
Xiao Ling looked at the place where the miserable man was buried and said, "We buried a felon. ”
Guanglong remembered something: "Have the people of the Party of Spades ever been exiled to the Sea of Suffering?" ”
Yipinlan said: "Yes. For quite some time, the country has abandoned the Party of Spades and left you to fend for yourselves. ”
No wonder. It turns out that the sick man, Meow Meow, including Midnight and Knight are all exiled felons, and of course there are a few minions. With their strong will, they wandered to the so-called "Prison Island", using the crystal skulls to create planes and connect to their world.
The Party of Spades did not rush to escape, but set up a secret base of the Party of Spades, and also discovered the secret of the Walking Corpse Worm. The dislocation of time and space caused the Soul Express to deviate, teleporting Guanglong and the others, including Fei Nan in the early days.
Is the appearance of Guanglong an unexpected gain, or is it destined.
He believed that Meow Meow and they must have escaped from the sea of misery. Their painstaking business is to find an opportunity to take revenge on the Netherworld.
Jin Lao said heavily: "The bitter sea is not so simple, no matter how big it is, there are still boundaries. There is no mystery about the prisoners who have gone and never returned. ”
Yipinlan said: "Well, the bitter sea was originally bitter because of the salty taste, and there were no living things. What you say about the boundless sea of suffering is not unreasonable, because it can't reach the edge at all. When you get to the shore, the waves roll upside down, knocking over everything you want to get closer to the shore. ”
The waves rolled upside down, and Guanglong still heard about it for the first time.
Yipinlan said: "The most troublesome thing about the bitter sea is the unpredictable climate. ”
They traveled for more than ten days, and the climate was pleasant, which was normal. In other words, it's still early to get to the border.
Knowing the approximate location of the bitter sea, if you want to escape from the sea, you must go east as always.
After discussing for a long time, Guanglong's confidence seemed to have been greatly hit. He ate a blue algae, lit the fire, and then climbed a tree to rest on his own.
The rest of the people also found their own places to rest. Mr. and Mrs. Jin had difficulty moving, so they could only gather around the bonfire, leaving Chu Chu to take care of them. They are not worried about Guanglong escaping, facing the sea of suffering alone is undoubtedly looking for death.
Everything is quiet. Guanglong was lying in the canopy, not comfortable. I can't see the starlight, and all I see are dense branches and leaves. The breeze was blowing, and the leaves were swaying and rubbing, which made his irritability worse. He had to escape alive.
The branches and leaves shook again, and the trunk trembled slightly, and someone had come up. Chu Chu's little thing is coming to make trouble.
Guanglong's eyes were slightly closed, wanting to see what kind of fame it was doing.
It wasn't Chu Chu who came up, but Xiao Ling. The big star didn't sleep in the middle of the night and broke into his bedroom.
Chia Ling tiptoed, for fear of waking up Guanglong. Fortunately, the branches are thick enough~ strong, and they are not fat people, otherwise they would all fall down and disturb the old couple Jin.
Seeing that Xiaoling crawled to Guanglong's side and slowly lay down. Unexpectedly, she hugged Guanglong tightly.
