Dark clouds obscured the entire sky, and the huge waves on the seashore hit the reef as soon as they hit the reef, setting off thrilling breaking waves.

The rain was pouring down, the field of vision was dark, the visibility was very low, and fifty paces away, the sky and the earth seemed to become one.

Instead of braving the rain, Needlegold's team left the beach and hid in the nearby rainforest.

Although the likes of needle gold and mane are not afraid of this rain. But most of the people in the team are ordinary people, even if they are bronze levels such as cyanobacteria and cords, their physical fitness is far from qualitatively changing.

It is very dangerous for them to brave the torrential rain and haul so many heavy supplies.

If you exercise vigorously and get soaked all over your body, it's easy to get sick.

They had just experienced the test of an illness, and of course they didn't want to take the initiative to find this trouble.

At this time, the rainforest became a natural refuge for everyone.

The lush foliage and dense vegetation make it easy for people to find shelter from the rain, and when combined with the tent, it can even form a completely dry and warm place.

Listening to the sound of the rain outside the tent, Needlegold's heart was silent.

He constantly released ultrasound waves, probing everything around him.

He found that ultrasound does not penetrate rainwater, but it is reflected well. However, in a rainstorm, the raindrops are dense and the water vapor is diffuse, which will greatly attenuate the detection range of ultrasound, and the detection results are relatively blurred.

Despite this, the range of ultrasound waves still enveloped the entire camp, and any unexpected situation was immediately noticed.

According to the ultrasound investigation, except for the person in charge of the guard, who braved the rain, the rest of the people were almost huddled in the tent, and there was no negative emotional expression such as irritability.

"Now people's hearts are stable. ”

"The previous cheap dinner with a dozen bottles of rum was a big deal. ”

"Just wait for the rain to stop......"

Needle gold is looking forward to.

However, the anticipation lasted for several days.

The torrential rain continued to fall, and the crowd began to become more and more restless. However, whenever the needle gold appeared in front of them, there was no need for the needle gold to say anything, and everyone's irritability and worry would be greatly reduced.

The prestige of needle gold has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Food is rapidly depleting, and water reserves are stretched to the limit.

The most irritable are the boatwrights.

He reported to the needle gold alone: "The situation has become troublesome, my lord. If it doesn't rain, we're going to build a dockyard. It's quite a project, and I'm worried that we won't have enough timber for the shipbuilding. ”

"Even if we were to make a dockyard and use all rainforest wood, it would take a lot of manpower. ”

"In the original plan, there were a lot of parts that could be made outside. But now if the rain doesn't stop, all the work has to be done in the dockyard. As a result, our shipyard will have to be expanded many times over!"

Needle gold can only comfort the boatman: "You are the most professional person among us in building sea ships." I don't have any good ideas, but even if I build a dockyard, it's just a matter of taking a little more time and putting in a little more effort, isn't it?"

"As long as we succeed in building a ship and get out of here, it's worth it, don't you say?"

The shipwright was stunned, and then he was convinced: "My lord, you have perseverance and patience that ordinary people can hardly match. I feel so much better to hear you say that. ”

The rain finally subsided.

Sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's light, sometimes the sky is overcast, and the sea breeze is chilling.

When it's not raining, or just a little rain, the procession moves forward.

Wait until the rain is a little heavier, and then stop.

"This damn rain!" cursed Kuromaki, if it hadn't rained, according to the itinerary, they should have arrived at Camp 1 by now.

"Be sure to protect the wood. Especially the wood for the keel!" the fourth shipwright was very worried about this, and kept a high level of concern.

When night fell, Zidi secretly came to the tent of needle gold alone: "My lord, this is the potion I made, and it is made with a poisonous mushroom as the main ingredient. The agent is slightly toxic, can invigorate the spirit, especially can dispel cold and increase flavor. ”

It's a great gadget.

When he heard this, his eyes lit up: "Can we make more? Can we promote it to everyone?"

Zidi shook her head: "Only people with strong physical fitness can ignore this toxicity." At least there must be a black iron level of life. ”

"Thank you, Zidi. "Needle gold said gently.

Zidi smiled back.

The rainstorm became less and less frequent, and the duration of the drizzle increased, sometimes for the whole day.

The team marched forward in a drizzle.

"It's weird. "According to this season, the rainy season has not yet arrived. But we've been raining for more than a week. ”

Cangsu gave some guess: "Perhaps, the weather on the island is not natural. The lord of the island is likely to control the weather, so the island is able to distinguish the very different landforms. These landforms have to have different climates for a long time to remain the same. ”

Zidi had a new question: "So why is the climate of the rainforest abrupt now? Does it mean that the means of controlling the weather around the island are failing?"

Cangsu shook his head: "I don't know." We haven't been on the island for long, and it's not uncommon for rainforest landscapes to have this kind of rainfall. But if deserts, forests, volcanoes, etc., are raining like this at the same time, it is not normal. ”

Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to know what is happening in the desert, in the forest, in the volcanic landscape.

The ultrasonic exploration of needle gold is far from that far.

In the afternoon, the drizzle was still falling, and the sky was overcast, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

The half-elf scout in front reported: "I see, the first camp is ahead!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then cheered in unison.

After such a long journey, hardships, and many risks to their lives, they finally made it back to Camp One.

There was no accident with the needle, and his ultrasound had already probed the first camp.

"It's just...... Why isn't there a single person in the camp?"

The good news brought back by the scouts boosted the morale of the team, and the pace of everyone unconsciously accelerated.

Sensing this, Needle Gold immediately ordered, and the team quickly returned to its original speed, and at the same time, Needle Gold also sent a scout team to communicate with the people of Camp 1.

Such a cautious and prudent approach was secretly appreciated by Mane.

The orcs took the initiative to go to the first camp first.

Needle Gold answered him, and took care of everything.

Mane's mood was actually a little impatient, and he was in a hurry to catch up with the rope and the boatwright, taking a large number of fighters with him. Only one acting leader was left in the camp, along with eight combatants.

"I wonder if the camp is okay?"

Mango led several people to the first camp.

No one greeted them, not even guards.

The silence of the camp made Mango feel bad, and cautiously entered it to investigate.

A moment later, he walked out unflawed with the scout team, his brow slightly slackened.

Joining up with the rest of the army, Mango handed over the letterhead he had left behind in the camp to Needlegold.

The needle gold opened a list and understood the reason.

It turned out that the first camp started very early, and there was an incident of a mysterious beast attacking and killing. Mango also personally patrolled the camp at night to curb the number of killings.

But as Mango pursues Si Si and his party, the killings happen again, and become more frequent.

The people in Camp 1 were terrified, no one could find the murderer, and no one could protect the lives of the people. In the later stages of the situation, people died almost every day.

Even the acting leader left behind by Mango was killed.

The people were emotionally devastated, believing that Camp 1 had become a cursed place, and that it was the invisible devil who had taken the lives of their companions.

As they left Camp One, they found a small valley in the nearby rainforest.

The last to go, fearing the return of Mango or the first expeditions, left a letterhead indicating the exact location of the valley.

Knowing this, Needle Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave the order, and the team continued to move forward, turning to the small valley.

in a small valley.

The frightened multitude gathered together.

"It's gone, someone else is gone!"

"It's here, it's here!"

"The devil didn't stay in the first camp, it came with us, and if he doesn't kill us, he won't give up!"

The crowd shouted loudly, and the panicked emotions spread, making people even more panicked.

Rudderless ship.

The acting leader is dead, and the mysterious beast attacks and kills people even more terrifying - there were corpses left before, but now they are gone.

"I don't think it's a devil, it's a monster. It is drilled out of the ground, and every time it mysteriously disappears, there is a hole in the scene. Usually it is a hole in the ground, sometimes a hole in the mountain wall. There are also sites that are located near the water, and we can't see the hole, but I think it's likely that the hole is covered by river water or vegetation. A clear female voice came.

Everyone was stunned, and countless pairs of eyes focused on the past.

It was the finch fan who spoke.

She wore a dark green dress, black hair, hanging down to her waist, she had beautiful eyebrows, but her eyes were blue, her chest was round, and her figure was hot, like a mixture of Orientals and Westerners in the empire.

Being watched by so many people at once, the finch fan looked a little cramped and nervous, but he still continued: "We have to unite, we must fight back, otherwise we will be defeated by that mysterious underground demonic beast one by one!"

The analysis of the finch fan is reasonable, and she exposes a corner of the mystery of the murderer.

However, everyone was hesitant to her proposal to fight back.

"Can we handle it?"

"Is it really a monster?"

"A lot of people died, even the acting chiefs. What can we do with it?"

"The sorrels ran away, and they were afraid. Mane Ge may not be like this, saying that they are chasing them, what is the truth?"

"I think that to fight back is to take the initiative to die, and it is better to run away separately. That's what Marlin and Mango did. ”

"Fart!!" Suddenly, a loud voice exploded.

The orc, dressed in steel armor with a single left arm, strode out of the bushes and appeared in front of everyone.

It's Mane.

The crowd was stunned and immediately ecstatic.

"Mane, it's Manego!"

"You're finally back. ”

"Oh my God, am I not hallucinating?"

The crowd rushed towards Mango, but Mango took a half-step back and sideways to make way of a passage.

At this moment, a young knight walked out slowly.
