Chapter 169: Landing on the island
I glanced at the old man and feared that he would not be able to swim in the miasma, so I swam to him instead.
At this time, the old three heads had already followed, and asked us how to get over, I repeated what Gu Shaoting said, dragged the old man with one hand, counted three, and began to dive.
I don't know if it's because of the Kraken Demon Pill in my body, after the whole person sank into the water, instead of oppressive and suffocating, he felt extremely comfortable.
Even, when he couldn't hold his breath, he didn't choke on the water, as if the water was full of air.
It's just that this old man choked several times, and seeing that his mouth couldn't stop spitting bubbles, I hurriedly swam forward as fast as I could, and finally even surpassed Gu Shaoting.
It's just that after crossing this miasma, I obviously felt a little dizzy, and the sides of my temples began to ache faintly, which was extremely uncomfortable.
But fortunately, my hand had already touched the stone, and it was so cold that when my hand touched it, my body shivered uncontrollably and stopped.
It didn't take long for a pair of big hands to grab me and drag me and my grandfather up.
When I got to the shore, the old man was already in a coma, and after Gu Shaoting was sure that I was fine, he began to press the old man's chest, and the old man finally woke up slowly after spitting a lot of seawater.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" I squinted at him.
"Girl, without you, I'm afraid that this old man won't be able to swim." As he spoke, he began to gasp for air.
And there was a sound of "coo, coo, coo" under the water, and the three of us hurriedly retreated, but Liu Yan and the old three also came out of the sea.
And, when they came out, they all looked behind us with an incredulous look.
I followed their gaze and found that behind us were black stones as high as mountains, and these black stones still glowed faintly, so that we would not fall into a situation where we could not reach out and lose our fingers.
"Obsidian!" I muttered.
"That's right, this is it, this must be a treasure, a treasure!" Behind the old three, Du Kui's excited voice came from.
"This is not a treasure, but the obsidian that suppresses demons and evil spirits, these obsidian stones are arranged in the position of the five elements and gossip, and you can't move around at will." Gu Shaoting opened his mouth and reminded Du Kui.
And Du Kui didn't seem to have heard of obsidian, what they hadn't heard of, but what would glow was an extremely rare gemstone.
These people think that if they get these things out and sell them, they don't have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.
"Let's go!" Du Kui shouted excitedly, and the people behind him followed.
Gu Shaoting frowned and looked at them, but he didn't stop them, the obsidian was extremely strong, and there was no way for them to pry away a little bit.
"Aren't you leaving?" The third head followed behind Du Kui and the others, and turned to look at a few of us.
Finding that we were sitting on the shore and not moving, we asked suspiciously.
"We still have to wait for Senior Brother Liu." Liu Yan's gaze was staring directly at the calm water.
In Liu Yan's opinion, the most powerful among us is Liu Yusheng, so we have to wait for Liu Yusheng to come ashore no matter what.
Gu Shaoting and I also sat and waited, after all, Liu Yusheng stayed on the boat to lure away those fallen ghouls in order to save all of us this time.
"He probably won't be able to come back, and when we jumped ship, a fallen ghoul had already come out from under the plank, although I didn't see the appearance of that thing clearly, but it was really not small, and there were a lot of underwater ghouls, and he couldn't survive." The third head said and paused: "It's better for you to bring something back with us, it's not a trip in vain." ”
"No need!" Gu Shaoting replied lightly.
The third head could only sigh slightly, turned around and quickly followed Du Kui and them.
A few of us waited for about half an hour, but we didn't see Liu Yusheng, and the old man on the side also said that it was probably more than lucky.
"No, Senior Brother Liu is not only good at kung fu techniques, but also very good at this ability in the water!" Liu Yan retorted.
The old man showed a bitter smile, he said that his two sons grew up by this seaside, and it was not a problem to swim in the water for more than an hour, but what was the result? It's still the same, gone forever.
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and glanced towards the "demon island" with obsidian on all sides.
"Have you really bought a daughter-in-law for your son?" Liu Yan was on the side, wringing the water on his shirt while asking the old man.
The old man's expression was gloomy, but he still nodded.
He said that at that time, all the people who went to sea and did not return tried their best to scrape together money to buy a daughter-in-law for their children, and if they were lucky, they could meet the family of the girl who had just died, and with a little money, the matter would be done.
But if you are unlucky, just like his family, if you don't run into it, you can only spend money to buy a girl.
Not to mention the evil, it also costs money, the old grandfather and his family almost went bankrupt to make up the silver taels to buy a daughter, and then there was no way, so they could only write the names of the two sons at the same time and "send" them to the sea.
"It's madness!" Gu Shaoting frowned and scolded.
"I don't want to, I'm just for the good of my children, I can't help it." The old man said, his eyes red.
"Then someone else's daughter, her life is so cheap?" I looked at the old man, and he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
He knew what he was doing was inhumane, but he said that if he had to choose again, he would still make the same choice, and he just wanted his sons to be better.
"In that case, what are you doing here with us?" At this moment, when I heard what he said, I no longer had compassion for him.
People's hearts are cold and cold.
"Because, after the imperial court was gone, there began to be rumors that people who were not seen at sea were actually caught here, taking care of the treasure, saying that there was a treasure here." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the strange island, "So I wanted to give it a try." ”
"This is a forbidden place, and it is impossible for ordinary living people to survive here." I looked at the obsidian.
It is said in the demon news that obsidian is a magic weapon to suppress demons, and here, there are so many obsidian, it is not easy to think that the monsters that must be suppressed are not simple.
If the living get here, I'm afraid that they will be eaten alive by those things in the near future.
