"I still have something to do today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow, this place is simple, I won't leave you behind, you can take care of yourself." Zhou Xuan didn't intend to be polite to these people, and then issued an eviction order.

The big black man snorted, held back his anger and led the person away.

Having solved the trouble in front of him, Zhou Xuan's mind was no longer here, and he was desperate to find the whereabouts of the Divine Painting.

Simply said hello to Reiko and Koji, turned over and climbed onto Xiaobai's back, regardless of whether it was happy or not, urging it to fly only to the sky.

It's the first time that the three of them have seen someone riding a monster flying in the sky, and today is considered to have gained knowledge.

It's good that those people didn't see it just now, otherwise they would have a new understanding of Zhou Xuan.

The instrument of Zhou Xuan also recorded the coordinates of yesterday's vicious fight with the monster, and flew straight over, and an hour later, he had already arrived at the destination, flew around the neighborhood, found nothing, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xiaobai, take me to them." Zhou Xuan directly gave the order.

The eagle was already psychic, although it couldn't speak, but it could basically understand what Zhou Xuan said, and after a long roar, it flapped its wings and flew east.

It no longer controlled it, and left it to find its own direction, and this time it flew for a long time, for three hours, and then it kept hovering over a sea area, refusing to leave for a long time.

"Xiaobai, what do you mean, why don't you leave?" Zhou Xuan asked, looking at the nearby sea, but found nothing.

Xiao Bai screamed briefly, and guessed that this was probably the place where it flew away yesterday, but it had been too long, and it didn't know where the Divine Painting was now.

How can this be good, even Xiaobai can't find the trace of the Divine Painting now, has it sunk?

This conjecture is not unfounded, the loud noise on the sea he saw yesterday, and the black smoke, most likely the Divine Painting has been attacked, but the damage should not be too great, otherwise it would not have been driven here.

Looking at the numbers on the positioning instrument, this sea area should still belong to the shallow sea area, and a cruise ship the size of the Shenhua should not be difficult to find even if it sinks.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan asked Xiaobai to lower his height, turn over and jump, although his water nature is not very good, but with Xiaobai here, he has nothing to worry about.

He held his breath and groped around underwater for a long time, until the sun turned west, and still found nothing.

It's getting late, and I feel that my ability to be alone is too small, and how can he find such a wide sea alone?

He thought of asking Reiko and them to help, but there are monsters everywhere on this sea, and if they encounter monsters like yesterday again, Reiko and them will be in danger.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the sea is getting colder and colder, and Xiaobai Zai in the sky above has been waiting impatiently, and he keeps screaming, urging Zhou Xuan to return.

Yesterday, I soaked in the sea for a day, and my body has not fully recovered, and today I tossed for a few hours, and I was already tired, so I had to return in a huff.

When I returned to Reiko's house, it was almost early in the morning, the lights in the wooden house were all out, and Reiko's family should have fallen asleep.

Zhou Xuan landed softly in the woods, quietly pushed open the door of the cabin where he slept yesterday, took off his wet clothes, and lay down on the bed.

As soon as he lay down, a candle suddenly lit up in the wooden house next door, and then he heard a knock on the door of his side, and Reiko walked in with a porcelain bowl that was still steaming.

When he entered the door, he smiled sweetly at Zhou Xuan, put the porcelain bowl on the wooden table at the head of the bed, and then gestured a few times and withdrew.

Zhou Xuan stretched out his head to see that the porcelain bowl was filled with a fish weighing two or three catties, and it was still steaming slightly, presumably Lizi specially reserved it for him.

Although he has long stopped eating this kind of food, in this foreign country where he is not familiar with life, it is rare for someone to care so much about him.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next morning, after resting for a whole night, I got up early, rocked the fishing boat of Lizi and them alone, and went to sea again with Xiaobai.

Not only is his water not good, but his oaring skills are even worse, but he can't soak in the sea all day, and no matter how strong Xiaobai is, it is impossible for him to fly on the sea all day long, and always give it a place to stay.

That's why he reluctantly rocked the boat and went out to sea alone.

Afraid that Lizi would have to come over to help, he set off without saying hello.

He drove the boat all the way until noon, when he reached the sea area of yesterday, and he rocked the boat around the sea area, and occasionally went into the water to investigate, but found nothing.

When night fell, he returned to Reiko's house with a dejected face.

At this time, Koji was also there, and Reiko's grandfather was cooking on the fire, and the smell of rice wafted from the iron pot.

As soon as Zhou Xuan got off the boat, Reiko pulled him and asked him away.

Koji followed, translating on the side: "She asked you what you were doing all day?" Everybody's worried about you. ”

"I ...... Go to sea to find the companions who came with them, their whereabouts are now unknown. ”

After listening to the translation, Reiko shook her head again and again and said a lot in Japanese.

"Reiko said that there are sea monsters on the sea, so it's better not to go to sea casually." Koji translated.

Zhou Xuan smiled gratefully and said, "It's okay, I'll be careful." ”

"Do you have any news of them?" Reiko asked.

"No, I'm going to look for it again tomorrow." Zhou Xuan carried a harpoon ashore, feeling more tired than soaking in the sea all day.

"I'll go with you tomorrow...!" Reiko suddenly said this, which startled Koji, the translator.

"That's not good, as you said, the sea is too dangerous, isn't this a joke, or should I take it myself?"

Zhou Xuan didn't want such a kind girl to take risks with him, so he hurriedly said to Koji: "You persuade her." ”

Koji cast a helpless look and said, "Reiko is a very stubborn girl, and no one can persuade her to do what she is determined to do." ”

"By the way, today Kimura sent someone to call you, and also sent a bag of rice, so you can hurry up and report there." Koji continued.

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Don't worry, let them wait, I have important things to do in the past few days, and I will naturally report when I finish it." ”

"Big brother, do you really want to join them?" Reiko asked suddenly.

Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, don't you want me to go?" ”

Reiko shook her head: "I can't do your thing, but these people are not good people, and it's not appropriate for you to help them." Big brother, if it's because of us, you don't have to grieve yourself, it's a big deal, let's leave here secretly, with the protection of big brother, we should be able to find a safe place to settle down. ”

Zhou Xuan raised his head and exhaled a breath, and said: "Lizi, I know what you think, I won't tell you, I didn't really go to them, I just went to find out the truth, I turned out from it, the world is now so big, but there is no safe place anymore, even the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests are full of all kinds of ferocious and tyrannical monsters." A truly safe environment can only be created by oneself, and if you don't destroy these monsters that can be seen everywhere, the world will never have a peaceful day. ”

Koji listened excitedly on the side, and asked: "Big brother's ambition is admirable, I don't know what the plan is, I'm willing to follow the big brother, even if it's just to be a translator, I can contribute." ”

Zhou Xuan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, wait until I find my companion first." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." Koji immediately asked for help.

Zhou Xuan's head is big, one is not enough, and another one is coming.

Having the intention of rejecting him, but not wanting to discourage his enthusiasm, it seems a little difficult.

At this time, Reiko came forward: "What are you going to do, have you ever been to the sea?" Can you swim? Will you sail a boat? ”

A series of questions were asked, and he was speechless.

Zhou Xuan smiled, it seems that this arrogant little boy is still governed.

Reiko's grandfather was ready, so he had to call Zhou Xuan to eat together, Zhou Xuan couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, and he didn't want to reveal the secret of eating corpses, for fear of scaring them, so he could only reluctantly eat some.

After the meal, he came out of the woods alone, hunted a few knife dogs, and quietly had a full meal with Xiaobai.

While he was feasting, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the woods.

Zhou Xuan shouted vigilantly: "Who is it?" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, it's me." A boy in a student uniform sneaks out.

"Koji, what are you doing sneaking in the woods?" Zhou Xuan said.

Koji rubbed his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's the eldest brother who sneaks around himself, right?" Don't worry, I won't reveal your secrets, I know the secrets of the supernatural, you all eat monster corpses, not rice. ”

Zhou Xuan scolded with a smile: "Little ghost, you know everything." ”

Koji looked like a matter of course: "Of course, it's no secret that those guys under Kimura hunt monsters everywhere and raise monsters in the yard for food." ”

Zhou Xuan became interested when he heard this, and asked, "They still raise monsters?" How do you know what they feed monsters with? ”

Unexpectedly, when this sentence came out, the little boy's face closed with a smile, revealing a look of indignation.

"What else can you use, of course it's people." The little boy spoke amazingly.

"What?" Zhou Xuan stood up in shock.

"Since these people are so unconscionable?"

Koji nodded and said: "Big brother, you just came from abroad, you don't know anything about the situation here, after the outbreak of the virus, this Kochi County has become the residence of the Kimura family, they often fight with outside forces for turf, and the casualties are very serious, and then I don't know where to learn about the evolution method of the supernatural, they began to cultivate the anomaly, at first they were directly hunting the monsters outside, and then they thought the evolution speed was too slow, so they began to raise monsters, and forced the nearby people to go out to fish every day, Monsters eat an astonishing amount of food, and now that there are fewer and fewer fresh animals, they will catch some disobedient survivors to feed the monsters, and then give the evolved monsters to those who have abilities under them. ”
