Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Red Monkey
"What's wrong? Is that puppet important to you? Blood Xiaoyan asked puzzled as he looked at Locke.
"Anne is not a puppet, she is my companion!" Locke said with a little emotion.
"Companions? Could it be that the puppet named Anne is alive? Blood Xiaoyan was surprised.
"Of course, Anne is the navigator on our ship, how could she be dead!" Locke said as he continued to search around.
"But...... But you're not...... It's not that it's a wooden ...... Puppets? Blood Xiaoyan was shocked by Locke's answer, and his originally red little face turned a little white for a while, turning pink, and he even began to spit out when he spoke.
When Locke asked her to look for it, she said that Anne was just a puppet, but she didn't say that the puppet was alive!
"That's right, Anne is a ghost fruit powerhouse, she doesn't have a body in the first place, she just lives on a puppet! Didn't I tell you? Locke heard the intermittent voice of Blood Xiaoyan, looked at her strangely and said.
"You...... You didn't say that! Blood Xiaoyan stammered and whispered.
However, when Blood Xiaoyan said this, the voice was very small, and Locke did not hear it, but had already turned around and continued to call Anne's name while searching.
"You don't have to scream, she won't respond to you!" After a while, Blood Xiaoyan finally came out of the emotions just now, looked at Locke, who was still yelling, and said.
"What? What do you mean by that? Locke turned his head and looked at Blood Xiaoyan with a puzzled face and asked.
"It's useless for me to say that!"
"Why?"
"There has always been a mysterious force hanging over our island! All creatures with souls, if they didn't have the Sword Dust Bead, would be unconscious! Blood Xiaoyan explained.
"Sword dust beads? What is it? "It's the first time Locke has heard of such a strange setting on this island.
"It's the beads around your neck!" Blood Xiaoyan pointed to the beads on Locke's neck and said.
"Huh! How can there be a bead on my neck! Only then did Locke realize that he didn't know when, there was a small red transparent bead hanging around his neck, the same size as the glass bead that had disappeared from the original world.
"This is what we brought to you when we rescued you, I thought you had already found out!" Blood Xiaoyan said to Locke speechlessly.
"That's what it looks like!" Locke touched his head embarrassedly.
"By the way, you said that creatures with souls have to wear this thing to stay unconscious. What's going on? Locke asked, playing with the sword dust bead that was threaded with a rope around his neck.
"I don't know about this, it's been like this since I was born anyway." Blood Xiaoyan didn't know the answer to Locke's question.
"However, if you really want to know, you can ask the village chief." Blood Xiaoyan added.
"But ......" was just when Locke wanted to continue to say something.
A pale red slash suddenly appeared behind Blood Xiaoyan.
"Be careful!" Locke reacted quickly, and the moment the slash appeared, Locke directly pulled the blood Xiaoyan in front of him behind him, and quickly pulled out the Tang knife on his waist to block the slash.
"Twitter~Twitter~Tsk~Tsk~"
After Locke blocked the attack, a strange cry appeared in the direction where the slash had just come from.
Locke looked warily in that direction.
I saw a monkey appear there, with fiery red hair all over its body.
The strangest thing is that the monkey is wearing a pair of pants, with a smaller *** sheath pinned to his waist, and the knife is in his hand, chirping at Locke as if demonstrating.
Behind it is a small puppet in clothes, officially Anne, who has never been found.
"Dead monkey, put Anne down!" After seeing Anne on the monkey's back, Locke rushed directly in the direction of the monkey.
The monkey looked very excited when he saw Locke rushing towards him, and raised the trumpet *** in his hand to meet him.
At first, Locke didn't take this monkey seriously at all, but when he intersected with its sword, Locke found that this monkey's swordsmanship was not weaker than his own, and if he didn't use his ability, he couldn't take it for a while.
A burst of purple light flew out of Locke's body, conjuring up a longsword in the air, and then shooting towards the monkey.
At this time, the monkey seemed to be frightened by Locke's move, and directly turned around and jumped on the trees behind him, and then fled in the direction of the center of the island.
The long sword conjured up by Locke couldn't keep up with the monkey's speed for a while, and was directly dodged by it, and then disappeared directly into the forest in a few flashes.
"Don't run, dead monkey, put Annie down for me!" Locke saw the monkey fleeing, conjured a pair of wings behind his back, and flew directly in the direction of the monkey's escape.
When he left, he said to Xue Xiaoyan behind him: "Wait for me here, come back immediately!" ”
"Locke, wait, don't go over there, it's dangerous over there!" The battle just now happened so fast that Blood Xiaoyan didn't react at all, and when he reacted, Locke had already chased him out.
There was no way, Blood Xiaoyan stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and followed Locke towards the center of the island.
The monkey in front of him was running, and from time to time he looked back at Locke, who was chasing after him, and by the way, he would make a mocking chirping.
"Dead monkey, don't let Lao Tzu catch you, after catching you, he will definitely roast you and eat you." Locke, who was able to urge with all his strength, looked at the monkey in front of him who had been mocking him, and said viciously.
I don't know what's going on, but after Locke woke up, he found that on this island, there was a slight suppression of his ability, and it was obvious from time to time when he was in the village.
But after following Blood Xiaoyan out of the village, the power of suppression became greater and greater, especially in the process of chasing the monkey, Locke's ability became more and more laborious, and because the bones on his body had not completely healed, Locke did not dare to just use physical skills to pursue.
Soon, when he was about to approach the center of the island, Locke's ability could not be used at all, although his whole body was not as weak as if he was soaking in water, but his ability could not be used.
"If it weren't for Lao Tzu's injury, Lao Tzu would definitely catch you!" Locke slowly stopped, looked at the monkey farther and farther away, and sighed helplessly.
"Locke, where are you?" After Locke rested for a while, the voice of Blood Xiaoyan came from behind him.
"I'm sure I'll catch you next time!" Locke glanced again in the direction where the monkey had just disappeared, and turned his head and walked in the direction of Blood Xiaoyan.
"I'm here!"
"Whew~ Fortunately, you're fine, the center of the island is very dangerous, we can't go deep!" Seeing Locke appear intact in front of his eyes, Xue Xiaoyan was obviously relieved.
