Chapter 105: Secret Technique: Slap in the Face in the Air!
Speaking of which, Matthias is actually a poor worm, but he is completely ...... under the continuous blows Crazy, or like crazy.
He had made a forced landing in the waters near the island thirty-one years ago, and had never been able to leave since, not because he hadn't tried to leave, but because he had tried too many times, and he had thought of all the ways he could imagine.
As a result, it was a failure, a failure, a failure...... A string of failures.
Having tried everything, he always fell short at the last minute, and after feeling his own insignificance and powerlessness, he began to doubt the secrets of this island -
He discovers the hidden ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai on the island and learns that the legendary Sun Queen has incredible magical powers.
Driven insane and paranoid by thirty-one years of living on an isolated island, he used threats and intimidation to generalize a group of victims to form the "Solari" Brotherhood of the Sun, and built a dilapidated town outside the Queen's Ruins.
And most importantly, he firmly believes that the obsession and resentment of Himiko, who died thousands of years ago, is the main reason why no one on the island can escape, and the only solution is to release the ancient Sun Queen.
Convinced that he would be able to leave the island with her permission only after completing his mission to resurrect Himiko, Matthias began a frenzied human sacrifice based on the information he had gathered.
- Whenever a shipwreck occurs and a new victim is left on the island, the Brotherhood of the Sun selectively accepts men as fresh blood and captures women for fire rituals.
It's just that over the years, I don't know how many innocent women have been burned alive, and I haven't seen any response from the Sun Queen.
To this day, Matthias has once again set out for a new target, Sanmantha.
To be honest, in fact, he really found the right target by mistake this time, because Sanmantha's full name is Sanmantha Nishimura, and she is a mixed-race person with dual Portuguese and Japanese citizenship.
And if her blood is traced straight to her ancestors, it will be discovered...... She really could be a descendant of Himiko in a sense.
Even if that bloodline connection is very, very, very weak, but as long as there is a connection, it is enough, and it fully meets the requirements of Himiko to resurrect the soul by borrowing the corpse.
Sure enough, after Laura fell asleep for a while, Matthias suddenly seemed to think of something: "By the way, there is a temple in the mountains not far from here, and there are many of them with the sun symbol you said......"
"Really?"
Shanmantha was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she immediately became pleasantly surprised.
"If that's really the case, it may be able to prove that this is Yamadai, and the temple may be dedicated to the Sun Queen!"
"Of course it's true, and it's not far off, and if you don't mind, Miss Sanmantha, I can take you there now...... "Matthias said very sincerely.
"Now? Uh, but ......" the short-haired black girl blinked, looking a little embarrassed, and she glanced at her best friend who was sleeping with her legs on the other side of the campfire, "now...... Not quite suitable, right? ”
"That place is very close, a few hundred meters through the forest, but there will be wild wolves there, and it is easy to be attacked by them if you are alone."
Matthias struggled to convince Sanmantha: "I'm not able to move on my legs, and your companion is coming back, so I'm going to go straight to your captain at that time, right?" If you don't go now, you won't have a chance......"
"Uh, this...... This ......" Sanmantha looked shaken, her eyes fixed on her best friend across the campfire for a moment.
The old man was right, and besides, he had no reason to disadvantage himself, and not to mention his age, just seeing that he needed crutches to move, Sanmantha didn't feel anything to be afraid of.
It's just that she thinks that it's not right to do a good job like this, after all, if you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, you are afraid of what if.
"If it's really not far away, then I'll go with you." Mo Chen interjected at this time, "Don't wake up Laura, let's just hurry up and go back early." ”
As if grasping some favorable evidence, Matthias hurriedly followed this direction and desperately displayed his eloquence.
Shanmantha's eyes lit up, and after a while, the balance in her heart finally tilted: "Then thank you, Mr. Matthias, and Mr. Mo Chen." ”
She stood up, moved her legs and feet, and then waved her hand energetically: "Then hurry up and go, Reyes and they are coming over too." ”
"You're welcome, just do a little bit."
Mo Chen maintained the false smile that could not see the problem and stood up.
As soon as all goes well, Matthias will order his men to kidnap Sanmantha to the ruins of the ancient royal palace on the island and begin preparing for the fire sacrifice or something.
And as long as he is like now, he is naturally "kidnapped" by them together and follows them, and he will naturally be able to arrive at the location of the ancient palace together...... Immediately after, he was able to try to see if he could kill the dead Sun Queen directly again.
If it can be successful, it probably won't be so troublesome, and waiting for Sister Laura to work hard, and she will be able to end this matter directly.
Although Mo Chen knew that the success rate of his plan was relatively low, and for thirty-one years, Matthias was forced to become a madman, Mo Chen didn't believe that he had exhausted all means.
When he couldn't find a suitable "sacrifice", I'm afraid Matthias should have thought about directly destroying the body of the Sun Queen, right?
But judging from the fact that he is still collecting "sacrifices", I am afraid that there is really only such a way, or only by waiting for the space where the Sun Queen transfers her soul can he have the opportunity to cause damage to this evil spirit and completely destroy it?
It's just that even so, Mo Chen still plans to give it a try, but he really can't think of another way.
“……!!”
Shortly after the three of them left the camp, a thunderclap suddenly sounded at the end of the distant sky, waking up Laura, who was sleeping with her head down and holding her legs.
"Sanmantha?"
"Mo Chen?"
"Strange, where did they go?"
She stood up and looked around with a frown, only to see that the sky was cloudy and flashing, and in a short time the wind rose. The branches of the trees swayed in the wind, and the grass rustled.
Only he couldn't see his best friend and his former temporary companion, and the old man named Matthias also disappeared.
Although Laura tried her best to remember, she only remembered that after she had relaxed her nerves, exhaustion poured over her body like a tidal wave, and she fell asleep next to the campfire unconsciously.
Other than that, I really didn't hear what they were saying, and I don't know where they were going now.
……
……
At the same time, the other side of the island is a coastal forest.
"Everyone, don't give up, before the rescue team arrives, we must first find a way to keep ourselves alive."
The captain of the cruise ship, an experienced middle-aged man, sent out a distress signal before the cruise ship sank, and after drifting to a desert island, he immediately found a group of tourists on board who were also killed.
Broadly speaking, there are thirty or forty people.
It's just that there are no men and women among them, each of them is listless and blind, even if the middle-aged captain is desperately cheering everyone up, no one is willing to raise his head and respond weakly.
It seemed that their spirits and minds had been severely depleted, and everyone was surprisingly similar, after all, they were all muddy walking dead.
The hot sun during the day, the unpredictable weather, hunger, and all kinds of troubles brought about by breaking away from modern civilized society have made them lose all interest in conversation, as well as the physical strength to speak.
The weather was very hot, but the cool breeze brought a hint of coolness, and the gloomy night was even darker than ink in the rolling dark clouds, and lightning could be faintly seen swimming between the gaps in the clouds, like the outline of a dragon and snake in the sky.
I'm afraid it's going to rain again this night.
Everyone knows that summer is an unpredictable season, but it's really rare to see something as unpredictable as this island.
The sky was clear for a while, and the clouds were immediately over, and from yesterday's storm to now, there have been three thunderstorms in just over a day.
What the hell is the climate of this island? Even a tropical rainforest shouldn't be so pitted, right?
All the tourists in distress were just silent, embarrassed, and they watched wordlessly as the captain kept cheering in front and leading everyone forward. They themselves were just moving mechanically, keeping up with the large army and preparing to find a place to hide from the rain and spend the night.
Except for the captain's shouts, no one responded, only the "growling" of everyone's stomachs one after another.
Well, it's not without reason.
The tourists were really happy when they heard that the rescue team had gotten the news, but they were not happy when they learned that they and the others would have to go through a period of survival on a desert island.
At first, they may have thought it was relatively new-
It's a normal thing, and surviving that terrible storm makes them feel very lucky. And as long as he doesn't die, and the other unlucky ghosts have nothing to do with him, he naturally won't feel too sad.
In addition, there is also the captain and staff in the lead, everyone will not be leaderless, the ship was completely sunk before the distress signal, and soon the news of the rescue team coming over makes them feel that the next is not hopeless.
In addition, the feeling of being overwhelmed also dilutes their first impression of surviving on a desert island.
So at the beginning, most of them were full of novelty and anticipation for the next desert island survival, but they were completely ignorant of the difficulties and horrors involved...... Until yesterday to this evening, more than a day has passed.
They finally realized that what they imagined was their own imagination after all, and the world was not intended to run according to their wishes.
Just like this island, survival on a desert island is completely different from the kind of painting style they make up in their brains!
Eat, drink, and have fun, take a relaxing wild vacation, until the rescue team arrives and successfully returns to the civilized world, you can still have an extra conversation in the circle of friends that can be blown for several years in a row......
None of these!
The reality didn't reason with them at all, but just came up directly and slapped them to the ground, arrogantly telling them "Stupid X!" Learn something! ”
Seeing everyone's mental state, after a few simple conversations with the first mate, the middle-aged captain raised his head again and shouted with full of anger-
"Guys, the weather is our worst enemy, and if it weren't for the constant rain, we wouldn't be on a continuous trek...... Trust us and believe in yourselves! ”
"There are so many of us, it's easy to survive on the island, and when the weather is normal, we can all work hard to stabilize it...... Remember, it is your spirit that defeats you, nothing else, and there are no enemies on this island......"
However, the voice did not fall.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Somewhere in front of me, I don't know how far away, suddenly there was a dense burst of gunfire, followed by a violent explosion!
