Chapter Twenty-Eight: Battle Ornament× Black Lake× Mark III

Rest, there was no fire, and it was pitch black.

Qi Yu took out the Tephnut Eye. The green light scattered around the surroundings, and instead of the vitality of the day, it looked gloomy and gloomy, barely enough to see the surroundings clearly. Qi Yu chewed a few bites of fried noodles, and after a while, he had to replenish food and water if he had no appetite.

Looking at the few white remains that were particularly conspicuous at night on the black ghost-like liquid not far away, Qi Yu sighed and fell into a deep sleep leaning against the wall of the tower.

In his dream, Qi Yu saw the little guy and looked at him quietly; Seeing that Mark was calling him anxiously, but he was indifferent, his heart was cold.

When I woke up, the sky was a little gray, and Tefnut's eyes were still shining around, and it was a night long.

Qi Yu wiped his face and stood up, and in front of him, the two brothers He Mo were smearing black and blue symbols on each other's faces, like lions, which was the symbol of the kingdom protecting the god of war.

Muto was on guard everywhere, smirking at the same time, looking at the two of them, and learning to smear on their faces, but they didn't look like a lion, but they were fat and cute like a lion dog. Happily smearing, Muto felt the movement around him, turned his head and saw Qi Yujiong's eyes beside him looking at him, and couldn't help but stretch his hand behind him.

The two brothers were also painted at this time, looking left and right with high spirits, but when they saw Qi Yu looking at Muto's situation with an interesting face, they were immediately ashamed.

Qi Yu was a little confused, it was normal to paint war ornaments, why did he look so shy. On closer inspection, the paint used to paint is not the mineral ink that Qi Yu used to write papyrus. The red mineral ink is painted on the face, and then it is illuminated by the green light, and the light is not good, and the blue is very chic.

Qi Yu didn't say anything, just some paints, nothing but writing, but people didn't ask themselves to get up and change shifts all night, this intention is even more rare. Walking up to the two He Mo brothers, Qi Yu's serious face finally showed a smile in the past few days.

"Here, paint me one too."

............

Refill the water with Tephnut's eyes, and Qi Yu, who was accustomed to the stench around him, ate breakfast without changing his face.

He Mo finished packing up and carrying the shield, but looked at a place in front of him, but there was a sigh.

"What's wrong?" The other three gathered together.

"Qi, you look at the black water, is it too much?" He Mo looked at Qi Yu with some confusion.

"It's a bit much." Qi Yu ignored the more fragrant smell after approaching, and squatted down to take a closer look.

Quietly, the level of the black liquid rose up, and the place near the abutment of the tower was clearly flush with the abutment, and a very slow flow could now be seen.

"Let's go and see where this water comes from?" Qi Yu felt a little strange.

After turning around, they noticed that the water was flowing in from the other side through the border of the tower. Qi Yu felt the need to look further, after so many crises, Qi Yu's sixth sense became more and more keen.

Passing through the border, the fog has become extremely thin where the water gathers, and the horizon is becoming more and more open. Qi Yu and his entourage walked in the direction of the flood, and the more they walked, the more frightened they became. I don't know how long they walked, but the black and gray stone rice in front of Qi Yu and them was no longer visible, and in front of them was an endless black lake.

And the shoreline of the lake has been slowly approaching, swallowing the black-gray stone fields under their feet inch by inch.

Are you going to turn into a sea? When did such a scene appear on the land of divine punishment?

They couldn't go in anymore, Qi Yu and the others were going to retreat instead, and the black lake was driving them out.

The stench was almost forming, and Mutt took out a linen cloth and soaked it in some water for everyone to cover their mouths and noses to temporarily reduce the stench. With the help of the temporary mask, Qi Yu had the patience to look farther, and in the distance, in addition to the lighter fog, there seemed to be some white shadows looming.

Everyone was panicking, which was completely beyond everyone's understanding.

"Qi! You see! Aite stabbed Qi Yu, who was looking.

The spear was pierced deep into the lake by Aite. The moment the tip of the spear flipped up, a piece of black and gray could be seen, and then it was submerged in black. The black and gray is stone rice, which is conspicuous against the background of this black water.

The lake in front of you is only a shallow layer, but no one has the courage to walk into it, and the unknown in the depths deters everyone.

............

Qi Yu decided not to bother with the source of the black water, and went directly to the location indicated by the second royal edict. Just as he tried to get Muto to find his way, he found that Muto was standing still staring blankly at the distance of the lake, allowing the black water to overflow the soles of his feet.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yu hurriedly pulled Mu Tuo back.

Muto shook his senses, turned his head and looked at Qi Yu with a frightened expression, "Qi, didn't you hear?" ”

"Hear what?" Qi Yu asked puzzled.

"Numbers, you change the headband, the numbers in the signal." Muto's face became even more panicked, and the lion dog war ornament on his face became more distorted, but there was no hint of ridiculousness, only coldness.

Qi Yu hurriedly changed into the head ring of the sucker. After a while, Qi Yu's face finally changed: "You mean ......?"

"Well, there it is." Muto nodded, took his right hand back from behind him, and pointed at the black sea, the depths.

The tower of the second oracle was in the depths of the Black Lake, something that no one had expected.

What's worse, I don't know when the way has been flooded with black water, and it becomes unrecognizable.

The two He Mo brothers and Mu Tuo all looked at Qi Yu, and all three of them were waiting for Qi Yu.

Giving up halfway is not Qi Yu's style. Rising to the challenge is the last option. This was a decision Qi Yu made in his dream last night. Since fate has put all the difficulties in front of us, let's go through them.

Qi Yu made a choice, but he didn't answer everyone immediately, he always had to find something that could be used.

Qi Yu looked around, and the places in his field of vision that were not submerged by the black water became smaller and smaller, as short as a few minutes, or as long as ten minutes, and this place would be completely submerged.

That boundless blackness puts too much pressure on everyone, and we can't wait any longer. But there was no place to step into or out of the lake, and there were no tools to draw from.

Qi Yu carefully observed the things on everyone's body, and his eyes finally fell on Mu Tuo, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was really an endless road.

Qi Yu walked over to Mu Tuo and took down a few things, distributed them to everyone, and acted first.

What was removed from Muto was a water bottle containing honey, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with ears on both sides. Qi Yu pulled off the cork of the bottle and poured out all the honey inside, passed the sackcloth strip through the ear of the bottle, and then tied the bottle mouth upwards to the sole of the shoe, and a thing that could barely be called a stilt was born.

The other foot was concocted in the same way, and after getting it done, Qi Yu grabbed Mu Tuo next to him and stood up, the amphora water bottle was very strong, not very high, and the bottom of the water bottle was sunk into the stone rice, which was very stable. Qi Yu was very happy, after all, it was the folk culture of his hometown that helped him a lot.

Seeing Qi Yu conjure up such a thing, the three of them were dumbfounded and their sorrow dissipated, although this black water is shallow, no one wants to go there.

For this black water of unknown origin, everyone has a bad premonition in their hearts, even if they were in the tower before, it was not okay to spend a night with this thing and the remains, but everyone's feeling of the danger of the black water increased.

The boundary of the tower that is inviolable to all evils, this black water can bring the corpses in, how to say this.

The other three followed Qi Yu's method and tied stilts made of water bottles to their feet, although they were a little unaccustomed to it, their sense of security improved a lot. Aite, who has a flexible posture, was the first to get used to the change in his feet, and even ran two steps boldly, and there was no problem at all. The tribal craftsmanship embodied in the sturdy water bottle was a bit unexpected by Qi Yu.

After getting these things done, Qi Yu and Mu Tuo once again identified the direction, the sound of the signal from the tower in his ears was very clear, there were signs of continuity, and the interference of the old signal did not appear again, and the distance had already come more than halfway.

The four of them stepped into the vast black lake in a formation. Aite stretched out his spear at the front to find the way, just in case. The rest of the people followed in the direction indicated by the signal, bringing a little bit of black water to the bottom of the bottle.

What they didn't see was that on the smooth surface of the liquid, fine lines floated like thin folds on black satin, constantly stretching behind the line.

............

The signal was getting closer and closer, and Qi Yu's heart was getting more and more uneasy.

The white shadow in the air was very, very far away, and they had no intention of coming over at all, and Qi Yu and they would not provoke it.

Where is the danger? There was not a trace of fluctuation in the surface of the lake passing by, and nothing could be seen, but the premonition of danger was getting stronger and stronger.

Let's wait until we get to the tower, Qi Yu thought so, but didn't do it. Qi Yu straddled the gun in front of his chest, but pulled out a short knife in his hand, everyone hurried together, they couldn't close the distance at all, it was too dangerous to use the gun.

He was not the only one who began to be on guard, He Mo invariably took off the shield, Mutt's hand grabbed his ass again, and the other hand picked up the short knife like Qi Yu.

Aite suddenly slowed down at the front, turned his head and looked at Qi Yu and them, and said with a puzzled face: "Do you feel ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a slender white shadow jumped out of the water and came straight to everyone's legs and feet.

Qi Yu felt like a gust of wind behind him, brushing the ground and skimming under his feet, and landing behind him.

"Don't stop! Rush over! ”

Qi Yu didn't dare to look back, quickened his pace, and ran. There was indeed something in the water, but fortunately the bottle was so high that the white shadows couldn't bite everyone's feet when they jumped.

It's just that the lethality of those white shadows is not small, and they can't bite the legs and feet, but they leave long marks on the water bottle, and even some depth. After the sound of brushing, the porcelain vases on everyone's feet became numb faces.

The lethality is so great, there is trouble, Qi Yu frowned, the only thing that can be comforted is that the signal in his ears is already about to be connected.

"Ahh

An angry shout came from the front of the line, it was Aite's voice.

Qi Yu hurriedly looked forward, but saw a white shadow shaped like a snake flying over the heads of the running people, and a little white shadow sprinkled down, and a fishy smell rushed straight into his nose, it was the blood of that thing. However, it seems to have been solved by Aite.

"Watch out for the ruthless guys!"

Aite's voice came from the front, and it seemed that he was fine. Qi Yu glanced at Aite's running posture that was a little unnatural, and it was estimated that he was attacked by the ruthless guy just now. Before he could finish worrying about Aite, a white shadow that flew by just now jumped towards Qi Yu from the side.

Running only cares about the front and ignores the side, not to mention that the black water is opaque, and you can't see what's underneath at all. Qi Yu dodged the white shadow attacking from the side, and with a slash of his knife, the white shadow became two, falling back into the black water with a little bit of white.

The tiny white shadows under his feet kept jumping out, and the sound of gnawing at the porcelain vase was not broken.

If you go slow, the bottle will break, and if you go fast, the bottle will break. Qi Yu was a little anxious in his heart, but he saw his partners in front of him disappear one by one.

When they entered, Qi Yu's heart was completely relaxed, and after running a few steps, the tower suddenly appeared in front of him. There was a click under his feet and he fell.

One step away, Qi Yu's heart sank, but he felt a strong force under his arms provoke himself and leap into the border from the air.

One is Ait's spear, and the other is a barrel stick.

A familiar face appeared in front of Qi Yu's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to himself rolling on the ground.

Mark.

............

After catching Qi Yu, Mark did not hesitate to half-squat on the ground, picked up the stick, and aimed it behind Qi Yu.

The gray-black handarmor twisted heavily on the black-gray metal shaft.

The sound of "hum~ka~" sounded for the first time in a long time.

The black water behind Qi Yu instantly evaporated, leaving a straight blank space. By the way, he picked up the countless stone rice below and flew out "Si~Si~". A dozen broken stout white shadows gradually stagnated and squirmed on the ground.

The power of the blow made everyone stunned.

Mark turned around without changing his face, facing Qi Yu, his face melting ice.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Yu looked at the man in front of him in surprise, the man who was running wild on his back on his back in the night of the snow forest.

Whether it's Mark or not, just think he's Mark, Mark Three.

Mark 2 came out of Nutao Town with Qi Yu, but covered Qi Yu's headshot on the stone plain and died.

After guiding Qi Yu and his son to the Maple Valley bunker, Mark stayed in Nutao Town and never looked away.

Seeing the familiar face again, Qi Yu's heart was flooded with heavy memories.

Mark No. 3 looked at Qi Yu, couldn't suppress the smile of joy on his scorched face, swung around Qi Yu's shoulder, and looked at Qi Yu warmly for a long time before he said incoherently: "I know!" I knew it! You must be fine! ”

"You know what? You've killed God! ”

Qi Yu was a little confused, killed the gods? When? Which god?

Mark III still did not stop talking excitedly.

"All my comrades-in-arms don't believe it! But I just believe! ”

"You appear in front of me now, and you prove that I am right!"

"That's God! It's a copied god, but it's also a god! ”

"No wonder our weapons didn't work that day, how could a god be killed by an ordinary weapon?"

Only then did Qi Yu react, it turned out to be the invisible monster of the day. The other three people next to him also looked at Mark 3 with a blank eye, hoping for more details, only to hear Mark say even more exciting news.

"Qi! I will definitely take you to our chief, a warrior like you deserves the highest reward!" ”

"Go to the Praetorian Guard! The mightiest warriors should defend our great queen! ”

"We, Chief Mark, would be willing to recommend you!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

Speaking of Qi Yu's name, the gushing Mark III suddenly stopped, a little embarrassed.

Qi Yu also felt a shock in his heart when he heard the information in the words.

The air was a little awkward.

They all worked hard together, but they didn't even know each other's names. Although Qi Yu gave the other party a pronoun of Mark 3 in his heart, he really wanted to know what the other party's name was, so he smiled and took the initiative to break the embarrassment: "Call me Qi, what about you?" ”

Mark No. 3 also let go: "Well, Qi, I finally know your name, I'm Mark." ”

After speaking, he was still unsatisfied: "Qi, I still have two brothers, both named Mark. ”

"One is the chief I just mentioned, who is also my brother; One is my younger brother, who went out to investigate and disappeared. ”

"We are triplets, we have no parents since we were children, the royal palace adopted us, and the queen herself named us, saying that we looked the same, and we were all called Mark, but we were not given surnames."

Qi Yu set off a storm in his heart. There are actually three people like Mark in front of him, and all three of them are called Mark. What does this have to do with the Mark that Qi Yu is familiar with? What role does the queen play in it?

My heart turned a thousand times, but my face didn't move. Qi Yu paused, took out the headband and handed it to Mark Three: "Mark, give your brother's headband back to you." ”

"The weapon of the warrior who died last time is also in my tribe's house, but it doesn't seem to be useful. You tell me your address in the royal city, and I will send it to you. ”

Mark No. 3 took the headband and couldn't help choking a little, but he didn't see Qi Yu's hand behind him gesturing to He Mo and the three of them.

"Or, if you have time to wait for us to finish hunting the royal offerings, go to my house in the tribe to get it, and be a guest by the way. The last time I was in the snowy forest, I didn't eat my best food, right? ”

He Mo and the three of them were a little inexplicable when they saw Qi Yu gesturing to them, and when they heard the last sentence, they immediately looked at each other, revealing joy. Muto ran over and said with a smile, "Yes, yes." Qi Yu is our young patriarch and is very hospitable. ”

"His wife is the daughter of the old patriarch, and their family must be very happy to see you, Qi Yu's life-saving benefactor."

Muto's words were very slippery, that is, the butt under his hand was getting more and more itchy.

Hearing this, Mark 3 looked at Qi Yu with some surprise, as if he hoped to get his invitation.

Qi Yu looked at Mark No. 3 and sighed in his heart, he had finally reached the step of deceiving others. Qi Yu called Mu Tuo to take out a pen and paper, drew the route when he came, and handed the papyrus to Mark No. 3: "Mark, this is the route to our tribe, or you go directly to the tribe and wait for me." ”

Qi Yu paused for a moment, but still decided to say directly: "Of course, if you can, can you help us go hunting together." For the hunted royal offerings, our tribe can take some errands, and the rest will be yours, what do you think? ”

"Good. Let's go hunting together. ”

Mark looked at Qi Yu without the slightest hesitation.
