Chapter Ninety-Three: On the Eve of the Disaster

It's a pity that the third uncle at that time didn't know what they were going to face next.

After arriving on the island, all the people who escaped death were so tired that they could not even stand up. The third uncle was also tired enough, he was besieged by two monsters in the lake just now, and almost bit off an arm, and he was almost dragged into the water, but fortunately, he finally picked up a life.

Looking around, the third uncle's heart couldn't help but feel cold, less than half of these people he brought were left, lying on the ground resting in embarrassment, where is there still half a master's demeanor?

In the face of such a situation, the third uncle's mood can be imagined, this time the team he brought out is all masters in the bureau, and many of them are foreign aid invited from various sects of Xuanmen, and now the losses are so heavy, even if the task is finally completed, it is difficult for him to bear such a heavy responsibility.

But this is not what should be considered at the moment, the situation on the island is not clear, the third uncle did not dare to be careless, and immediately organized people to survey the situation of the entire stone island, and did not find that kind of monster, everyone was relieved.

There were only two ships left, and the hulls were so badly damaged that they could no longer withstand too much wind and waves, and if they were besieged by the monsters in the lake, sinking would be inevitable. The third uncle did not dare to take risks, so he could only stay on the island for the time being, looking for an opportunity to escape.

After a short rest, except for a few injured people, the survivors have basically recovered, during which there are people who have fallen into the water but have not died swimming to the shore, and the third uncle and a few people who still have the strength to rescue these people ashore for treatment.

After doing this, the third uncle counted the number of people, and was surprised to find that less than half of the team just now was left with less than two-thirds at this time, although most of the people who were rescued later were injured, but this was enough to make the third uncle feel relieved.

The third uncle secretly learned the witchcraft of his grandmother, although he didn't get the true inheritance, he finally got it, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten into the position of the deputy director of the Mysterious Incident Investigation Bureau, so he still knew a little bit about witch doctors.

In the shocking change just now, the doctors in the team have been killed, although most of the foreign aid from the Xuanmen sect in the team are knowledgeable in medical skills, but these old ways are very big, unless they have a lot to do with them, it is completely unrealistic to want them to take the initiative to save people, and the third uncle has to take action himself.

In addition to the third uncle, there are still some sensible people in the team, they are merciful, and they are busy with the third uncle, treating the injured, Yang Shumou and Wang Xiaoyi are these people.

Those who can be selected by the third uncle to be selected into the team are naturally not simple people, but after the third uncle checked, he found that all the injured people had torn wounds, obviously, these wounds were bitten by monsters in the lake.

With such a hideous wound, it is difficult to imagine the pain that the bitten person endured at the moment when the wound was torn, you must know that these bitten people are all first-class masters, even in the water, it is impossible for everyone to be so miserable.

The third uncle and the others talked about the monsters in the lake while giving medicine to the injured.

Yang Shumou and Wang Xiaoyi are both old people of the big sect and have seen a lot of things, and both of them feel that the monster is very consistent with the image of the Yaksha ghost recorded in the classics, and another old person who participated in the rescue also agrees with this statement.

While they were talking, one of the members of the team who had bitten off his arm suddenly interrupted them. It was one of the third uncle's subordinates, whose ancestral home was in the East China Sea, and he said to a few people with a pale face that it was not a Yaksha ghost, and he had seen exactly the same monster when he followed his grandfather into the depths of the East China Sea to fish in his childhood, and in the local fishing villages of the East China Sea, this kind of monster was regarded as the most terrible evil god, which would bring disaster, bad luck and death to people, and the fishermen called it a shark.

Hearing the name "Shark Man", several people, including the third uncle, looked stunned, and their faces all showed expressions of disbelief, they came to Toast Tai in a hurry, so they didn't know anything about the legend of the Shark Immortal that circulated in the local area, in their opinion, how could the legendary "Shark Man" appear in the hinterland of this 100,000 mountains?

Moreover, shouldn't the merman be as beautiful as a fairy? How could it be this dignity?

The third uncle was puzzled, so he continued to ask the subordinate whose ancestral home was in the East China Sea about the merman, but unfortunately, the member of the Investigation Bureau moved out of the East China Sea when he was very young, and his knowledge of the merman was very limited.

Yang Shumou and the others thought that they could get more information about the merman from this person, and then look for a way to deal with the merman, but they didn't expect that the final situation would be like this.

In addition to being disappointed, the group really couldn't come up with any countermeasures, so they could only take one step at a time.

Approaching evening, the fog on the lake gradually rose, and no survivors escaped, the third uncle sighed, this time the accident happened, a total of eleven people died, and the number of injured far exceeded this number.

Those who died in the water did not even have a single bone left, and the third uncle finally knew how the red-stained lake water he had seen on the surface of the lake before came from, it must have been left by the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect who entered the lake first and were attacked by the sharks.

Thinking of this, the third uncle's heart suddenly tightened, and he began to worry about my father's safety.

It is an indisputable fact that the Heavenly Witch Sect was attacked by the mermen, but the third uncle searched the entire stone island and found no trace of the rest of the people, so he had to give up for the time being.

As it gets darker, the fog on the lake gets thicker and thicker, and it begins to spread towards the island.

The third uncle was not sure whether the merman in the water would be able to move out of the water, so for the sake of caution, he beckoned the uninjured and moved the injured to the higher side of the ground to camp in case of accidents. It is also thanks to the third uncle's move, otherwise it is estimated that all that is left on the current stone island is the corpse of the decomposing maggot.

After the camp was transferred, the capable people in the third uncle's team arranged many magic circles and means to ward off evil spirits near the camp, as well as a lot of crude traps and early warning measures, and then arranged four more police posts, which was the end.

After nightfall, the fog is thick, and the whole stone island is shrouded in fog, and the night is mixed with surging fog, as well as the faint sound of water around the stone island from time to time, which is very weird.

On the first night, everyone in the team did not dare to be careless, even if so many means were arranged, and there were four guard posts, everyone still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and even slept with one eye open.

However, it is reassuring that on the first night, nothing happened.

The next day, the fog that had filled the night completely cleared, the weather was fine and the sun was shining, and the surface of the lake surrounding the stone island shimmered in the sunlight, and the water surface reflected the magnificent shadows of giant petrified trees, which made people can't help but feel a sense of comfort and comfort.

However, under the surface of this beautiful sunshine, there is a terrifying and terrifying truth, and the bloody scene just experienced yesterday is still vivid, and everyone will certainly not be confused by the appearance in front of them.

However, it is not a solution to be trapped on the stone island all the time, and you must find a way to leave. So, on the second day of boarding Shidao, taking advantage of the good weather, the third uncle organized an escape test.

He had people collect the wreckage of the boat that had been hit by the waves on the shore of Shidao, make a simple raft, and push it out along the waves. Everyone on the shore stared intently at the raft that was floating in the wind, and seeing that it floated out for a long distance and nothing happened, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel relieved, maybe the shark attack yesterday was just an accident.

Just when everyone thought that there was hope of leaving, a splash suddenly exploded on the surface of the water, and a humanoid black shadow jumped up from the water, instantly smashing the raft floating on the water.

This scene happened between the lightning and flint, and by the time everyone reacted, the lake had returned to calm, and the waves were still shining, if it weren't for the raft wreckage floating on the water, everyone would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.

Now the third uncle was completely dumbfounded, judging from this situation, it was a fool's dream to rely on the remaining two broken boats to leave Shidao.

Although everyone saw the fate of the raft with their own eyes, there were still people who did not want to sit on the rocky island and wait for death. A foreign aid from Kwai Shuimen relied on his superb light skill of crossing the river with a reed, and despite the dissuasion of the third uncle, he forcibly crossed the water with a few driftwoods on his back.

Speaking of this Kwai - Water Gate, although it is not a big faction, it is also famous in the Xuanmen, which has been inherited for more than 200 years, specializing in the law of moon and yin. In order to cultivate the power of Kwai Yin, its mountain gate lives with water saving, so the disciples in the door are good at water kung fu.

This Aoi-Mizumon foreign aid does have some ability, three pieces of driftwood, each piece is about 20 meters apart, he just taps his toes, his body is like a bird lightly swept out, and when he reaches the critical point of sliding, he throws out the rest of the driftwood on his back, and then jumps again. Only two pieces of driftwood were thrown, and his figure was not far from the shore of the lake, and in this case, he would surely be able to reach the shore without any problems.

Seeing this, all the masters on the shore became excited, as long as this master of Aoi-Shuimen could land on the shore and escape smoothly, he would be able to bring rescue troops from the outside world, and they would naturally be saved at that time.

Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, and just as the Aoi-Watergate master threw out the last piece of driftwood and was about to leave the lake with his strength, the merman, who had overturned the raft before, jumped out of the water again and smashed the piece of driftwood with one claw.

The master of the Aoi-Water Gate happened to fall at this time, but he had nothing to borrow, and he was in a hurry, so he had to step on the top of the merman who turned out of the water in a hurry, and with a leap of strength, he successfully jumped up.

Seeing that he was about to escape and ascend to heaven, who expected that the merman's seaweed-like hair in the water seemed to come back to life, turning into countless poisonous snakes and strangling Aoi-Watergate master's ankle and pulling him into the water.

The rest of the island is no longer known to the people on the island, but the master of Aoi-Watergate never came out of the water again, and his fate can be imagined.

Such a result is both unexpected and reasonable for the masters on the island. With the lessons of the past, no one dared to try to escape from Shidao now, after all, none of the remaining people dared to be confident that their light skills were stronger than the master of Aoi-Watergate.

The second day of being trapped on the stone island was spent in countless attempts and deliberations, but unfortunately until it was dark, they did not think of a feasible solution, and the fog filled the entire stone island again in the evening.

This night, it was still peaceful, as if the stone island in the middle of the lake was a forbidden place for sharks, or maybe those things could not survive without water. In any case, this is undoubtedly good news for the third uncle and others.

On the third day, there was still no way to escape, and most of the dry rations carried by the team had fallen into the water during the attack the day before yesterday, and they were running out of food.

Fortunately, they found a silver fish in the water, not only non-poisonous, but also very good, the fly in the ointment is that there is no firewood to burn on the island, only raw food, but for the third uncle and a group of people in distress, this is really nothing.

If things continue to develop like this, even if the third uncle and them persist for another half a year, it will not be a problem, but the bad thing will be on this stone island.

Now we already know that Shidao is actually the granary where the merman stores food, but the third uncle didn't know at the time that the three days of comfortable island life made everyone let down their vigilance, and on the fourth day of being trapped in Shidao, something terrible happened.

The day was no different from the previous days, with the weather, the calm surface of the lake, and the incomparably pleasant sunbathing on the shore of the island. The third uncle and Yang Shumou are both people with extraordinary knowledge and rich experience, and they feel very bad about the slackness and decadence of these people, so they have no choice but to sigh and give up.

In the afternoon of that day, the whole mountain forest began to sway violently, and the lake also blew a strong wind, and the water rose suddenly, and by the evening the whole stone island was shrunk, and the water surface was also very turbulent.

Such a vision naturally attracted the attention of some people, but fortunately, the gale did not last long before it stopped, and the third uncle only thought that the weather had changed, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The gust of wind was so noticeable that everyone ignored a huge change that had taken place in Ishishima, one that had caused heavy casualties to the team.

After dark, the third uncle and his party always felt that something was wrong, but they had not been able to grasp the essentials, until the guard post was arranged, the third uncle found out that it was because there was no fog tonight, and the bright starlight in the night sky made the whole stone island appear clean and bright.

The third uncle didn't think much about this, but thought that the climate in the mountains had changed, and besides, there was no fog, and the vision conditions had improved, which was more conducive to preventing danger.

With a cautious attitude, the third uncle did not reduce the guard post, but there were still four people, which caused several people in charge of the guard to complain.

It's just these people who are bad.

This night, including the third uncle and Yang Shumou and others, everyone felt unprecedented exhaustion, physical and mental sleepiness had almost reached the extreme, and it seemed that the starlight above their heads had a hypnotic effect, making them quickly fall into a deep sleep.

The four night guards also had a strong sense of sleepiness, and there was no fog tonight, the situation on the stone island was clear at a glance, and it was really unnecessary for the four people to keep vigil, so several people discussed taking turns to come, one person was on guard for two hours, and rested in shifts.

In the bright and misty moonlight, the three of them leaned on the rocks and fell asleep comfortably, but what they didn't know was that not long after they closed their eyes, the person who left the guard also slowly lowered his eyelids, and slowly a slight snoring sound came from between his snorts, and the last sentry also fell asleep.

None of them noticed that there was no moon in the deep starry sky above the stone island shrouded in the bright moonlight.
