Chapter 629: The Waves Are Surging
There was the occasional "snapping" of wings around me, and everything else seemed so quiet and dead.
The ten people looked at the hundreds of tons of sugar left in front of them, and the layers of arthropod corpses under their feet, and all of them had mixed feelings for a while.
Just this small piece of scorpion under your feet, there are about three or four scorpions alone. If each one represents an Inhuman, then they will have to face at least more than twenty, most likely Intermediate or even Advanced Inhumans.
Almost instantly, everyone gathered in a circle, raising their swords in unison to be vigilant and watching for any signs that could be seen.
But except for the occasional cool breeze blowing around, there was not even a living flying insect.
It's weird, it's weird!
Locke suppressed the horror and disgust in his heart, and took a deep breath of air mixed with a rich stench: "Watch out for each of the three in a group of three, Sam!"
Speaking of this, he looked back at Sam beside him: "You follow me, if an accident happens, we will do our best to cover your escape!"
"Yes. Sam was shocked when he heard this, but looking at Locke's undeniable eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, and squeezed one out of his teeth: "Yes!"
The ten people were divided into groups of three, three or four and dispersed, and when Locke and the others went around to the side of the sugar pile, Sam suddenly pointed to the cave not far away and exclaimed in a low voice: "Chief, look there, there are no insect corpses there." ”
When Locke heard this, he immediately looked at it, and after seeing the depression vaguely, he immediately ordered in a low voice: "Go, go over and have a look." ”
The four of them stepped on the nearly three-inch-thick insect corpse, and as they got closer and closer, everyone's expressions became more and more serious. Because they all found one thing, the depression was vaguely human-shaped.
And in the stench of insect corpse fluid, there seems to be a trace of blood.
When they came to a distance of three or four meters from the depression, Locke suddenly signaled for everyone to stop, flicked the thick insect corpse in front of him with the tip of his knife, and then bent down to pick up two long strips of animal skin.
Sam and the three couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, would Inhumans be able to wear clothes?
According to what they know, some of them do wear them. But the Federation people almost never wear animal skins, and even the Maple Leaf Country is very rare.
"North Thang!" Locke subconsciously muttered, "The level of fur nitration is very high, and there is no variegation, if this is a shoulder or vest, it must be worth two gold coins." ”
"Boss, I don't think so. Sam suddenly frowned and replied: "With so many insect corpses, if it was really a collusion between humans and Inhumans, I am afraid that I would not be able to hold back to do something for a long time." ”
Speaking of this, Sam himself was stunned: "New Town! Plague! Damn it!"
"Shhhh ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bald subordinate suddenly became an inch shorter, and immediately stopped on the spot and reported softly: "Boss, there is a situation under my feet." ”
After speaking, without hesitation, he used the long knife as a shovel, bent down and quickly pulled the thick insect corpse in front of him.
Seeing this, the three of Locke immediately came over to help, especially Sam's step was a little big, and he instantly felt the sunken edges and corners under his feet: "It's an indentation." ”
As he spoke, he had already pushed away all the insect corpses, and after seeing obvious traces of about one square square, Locke suddenly raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "It's such a heavy thing, at least five or six hundred catties or even heavier." ”
The other two groups went around and found that there were insect corpses all but insect corpses around, and they immediately came over to join Locke.
When one of the groups came to the cave, the subordinates waved their knives and pulled them casually, and immediately looked at the foot of the mountain and exclaimed: "Chief, there are footprints, and the force of stepping on it is so great." It's a woman, or an underage male!"
Locke immediately hurried over when he heard this, lowered his head and frowned after carefully distinguishing it: "I can't be sure if it's a man or a woman, but this guy uses the ball of his forefoot to exert force!"
After speaking, he immediately got up and looked up and slowly checked: "There are no other traces of the mountain, unless." ”
"Jumped up in one step?" The other people around him immediately looked up when they heard this, and Sam, who was just behind him, grinned and muttered, "This must be more than twenty meters high!
"Don't guess!" Locke immediately put away his knife and moved his muscles: "Sam will take a group of people into the cave to search, and I will take the rest of the people to the top." Seeing is believing!"
Although the mountain wall is steep and dangerous, it is good in terms of height. These Golden Guards were all generalists, and Locke and the five of them climbed to the hillock with their bare hands.
It's just that after some careful searching, I found that except for some traces of fighting, there was not even a drop of blood left.
Helplessly, the six of them climbed back down the mountain again, and just as Sam and the four of them also came out of the cave: "Boss, see what we found?"
Locke saw the hideous fist glove in his hand at a glance, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but nod lightly and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes. The subordinate standing in second place raised his left hand and shook it: "In addition to the fist gloves, there are only a bunch of insect eggs and insect corpses left, and these four broken copper and iron." ”
"Let's go. Seeing that his subordinates were quite interested, Locke couldn't help but smile and greeted: "Report the matter here to Your Highness first, and the future can only be said later." ”
"Yes. The response of the nine people was a little weak, and they were about to meet the stranger, but they saw nothing but a pile of corpses. You must know that the reason why they exist is to prevent the appearance of Inhumans.
But now, when there was hope just now, it was shattered, and that feeling was really not a good feeling.
But they also knew their identity, so they could only forcibly suppress this desire to fight, and quickly followed Locke out of the valley.
In the Principality of Jewels, in the outer seas, four warships of all sizes are sailing in a raging storm.
When I went out to patrol the sea, it was still sunny and sunny, but I didn't know that it was less than a hundred nautical miles away from Baiou Island, and the damn weather suddenly turned around and didn't recognize anyone.
Rear Admiral Wagner-Thal was very depressed, but at this time he could only be very helpless, fixed himself in a chair in the flagship command room, and let the wind and rain constantly blow his warship.
But occasionally looking out the window at the growing waves, and the occasional sound of metal twisting from the hull, I felt more and more anxious and uneasy.
Suddenly, a 100-meter wave rose high on the starboard side, and instantly slapped on the supply ship accompanying him. Just when he was secretly worried about the uncooked goods he had exchanged, he only felt that his hull was instantly raised high.
Hurriedly holding the handle with both hands, he commanded loudly: "Zuo Manrudder! Hurry! Beware of crashing into our supply ship! Hurry!"
As soon as the words fell, I only felt a shock of the entire hull "bang!", and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Damn!"
