Chapter Twenty-Three: The Island of Godfall
On a small island full of tropical atmosphere, Xia Yang, Xia Xia and other nine people had just stepped off a ship, and it was already the afternoon of the next day. Xia Yang's face is not very good, anyone who has been flying for a night and drifting on the sea for most of the day will probably be like them.
Brother Ghost and the Prophet did not come back with Xia Yang and the others, and what greeted them on the island was a half-hundred old man with a white face and no beard but an unusually vicissitudes of life.
"Are you also an Awakened One?" Da Hei asked stunned.
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I am also an Awakened One, you can call me 'Bull Demon King'." ”
Not only other people were surprised, but even Xia Yang was a little surprised. The Bull Demon King may be the oldest awakened person Xia Yang has seen so far, Ma Youcai's dead fat man is said to have given birth to a baby very early, and there is no wrinkle on his round face, so he looks like he is in his thirties.
After all, the abilities of the awakened are obtained through the game "Miao", and most of the people who play the game are young and middle-aged, like the age of the Bull Demon King, and it is rare to have the leisure to play the game.
Xia Yang noticed that when facing the Bull Demon King, his instincts didn't work either. Could it be that this is a sign of the awakening of a new ability, which is why it is so unstable?
"Uncle, come, let's try to compete!" Da Hei shouted as he touched two iron fists.
The Bull Demon King's face stiffened, and he asked a little depressedly, "Do I really look that old?" I'm only thirty-five years old this year, and you call me uncle......"
Everyone was a little stunned, the Bull Demon King was only thirty-five years old, and his face was too old, right? Da Hei ignored the Bull Demon King's depression, and shouted, "Then I'll call you big brother, right?" Be careful, I'm coming! ”
Xia Yang now knows that Da Hei is actually a battle maniac, not only hostile to him, but every time he sees other awakened people, he will shout to compete, but although this thing is still a freak!
The big black monster is to blame, the prophet can feel that he is an awakened one, but he has no ability at all, and the only characteristic that is worth highlighting is that he wants to fight when he sees people, and he has been defeated repeatedly.
The Bull Demon King saw Da Hei rushing towards him like a mad dog, his expression did not move, until Da Hei's two iron fists were about to touch him, his body was slightly sideways, and at the same time, he patted the dragonfly lightly behind Da Hei's head, and then withdrew his hand and jumped to the side and said: "Don't fight, you still have some strength to deal with others, this island is not so safe, you can only rely on yourself." ”
Da Hei was not convinced, and wanted to rush up, but was stopped by several other people who came with him. Da Hei may be a fan of the authorities, but the other eight people, including Xia Yang, can clearly see that even if the Bull Demon King does not use any Awakened ability, he can easily deal with most of the people present, he himself has kung fu, and the Bull Demon King obviously has something to say just now.
"Big brother, you just said that this island is not safe, what is going on?" Someone asked.
The Bull Demon King smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk as we go." ”
The afternoon sun on the beach is very good, the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell lingers in everyone's noses, the island is lush, trees, weeds are all over, only a winding old road destroys the wilderness scene, under the leadership of the Bull Demon King, Xia Yang and others got on the open-top sightseeing car that had been waiting for a long time.
The Bull Demon King drove the car slowly and explained to Xia Yang and the others: "This island is called Shenluo Island, which used to be a secret laboratory, and in order to keep the laboratory secret, there is a magnetic field jamming device built on the island, and the plane cannot locate its existence, and all the materials can only be sent to the sea by freighter, and no one is allowed to land on the island without permission, otherwise they will be attacked by the island's defense system." ”
"Will we be attacked?" Da Hei exclaimed with some excitement.
Xia Yang didn't understand what the big black head was made of, and why he was so excited about being attacked.
"I was talking about half a century ago, and then because of a major accident, the laboratory was completely destroyed, and then the island was abandoned for special reasons......"
"How did the lab get destroyed? What are the special reasons? Da Hei interrupted the Bull Demon King's narration and asked.
The Bull Demon King seemed to feel helpless about Da Hei's impatience, shook his head and said, "You really asked me, I don't know what is going on, but it is likely to be related to the current situation on the island." ”
"What's the situation?"
"After the formation of the Magical Alliance, we needed a place that was not noticeable and large enough to house the members, and after a long journey, we finally discovered this place. But when we arrived, we found that there were a lot of powerful creatures living on this island, and they were all completely new species, no, more precisely, hybrids of various animals. Have you ever seen a lion with feathers all over and can fly? Does it feel like something out of the game? I'm telling you, they're real on this island, and if you encounter them, be careful, they're real killers, and many of the Awakened have already died at their hands. ”
The news came as a surprise to everyone, as the Awakened, they had internally distinguished themselves from ordinary people since they possessed some kind of magical ability, which made them forget that in most cases, they were still ordinary people.
"However, the reason why the Magical Alliance gathered the Awakened here is to prevent those illusory monsters from harming other innocent people, in this regard, Godfall Island does meet our requirements, and importantly, after the Awakened have the experience of fighting those hybrid beasts, it is more convenient to deal with the illusory monsters, this is simply a training ground tailored for us!"
"I would like to improve the abilities of the Awakened, but I don't want to ......die," someone said cowardly.
The Bull Demon King nodded, expressing understanding: "The purpose of our Magical Alliance is to come and go freely, if any of you want to leave, someone will take you away when the next ship sends you away, and you can stay in a safe area until then." ”
The news of the death of the Awakened weighed a big stone on everyone's hearts.
After walking for about ten minutes, the sightseeing bus stopped in a temporary vacant lot, and five simple wooden houses were obviously newly built, and the wood on the periphery of the houses was still wet, and a few figures could be vaguely seen walking around.
"This is a special place to take in newcomers, and it is also called a safe area by us, but in order not to attract the attention of those alien beasts, too many people cannot gather in one place at the same time, otherwise once the beast herd is attracted, except for a few awakened people with special abilities, most of our awakened people will inevitably die, so all the awakened must be dispersed." The Bull Demon King cautiously explained.
"I want to ask, how many Awakened people are there on Godfall Island so far?" Xia Yang, who had been silent, asked.
