Chapter 58: Zudao (Part II)
I saw a familiar light, after turning the big bay.
And when I saw this light, my heart suddenly began to get excited, and I understood that even if I didn't have an ancestral island and didn't have so much spirit, this kind of light was enough to make me excited.
At this time, this light is not bright, but has a unique dark blue color, which can even make people think that it is dark.
But if you haven't been to the real underground and felt the real darkness, you won't know that even the darkest night will have a unique light that shines on the whole earth.
I've been in the dungeon for almost a month, and as someone who was born and raised on the surface, I've started to miss the surface world immensely, but I can't leave it for the time being.
Now, I see this light, which is the light of the night, the light of the surface world, how can I not be excited?
I glanced at Emperor Tong, and he just turned around to look at me with a hint of his characteristic 'sneer', and then said teasingly: "Ye Zhengling, it seems that I don't have to beat you." ”
"Yes!" I shouted almost excitedly, and ran along the path of the underground river towards the source of the light.
In the process, I heard the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, I smelled the salty smell unique to the seashore, with the moist scenery coming from a cave, and the only hole, as I ran, I saw the deep blue night sky, saw the twinkling stars, and my heart that had been suppressed in the dungeon felt a release, a sense of ease that I had never felt before, an urge to cry as I got closer and closer to that side of the sky.
I rushed out of the hole in one go!
At the entrance of the cave stood countless protruding rocks, spreading out to form a natural barrier to the dangerous shoal of ships, and the sea was constantly washing here, but on both sides of this dangerous shoal was a stretch of white sand.
With excitement and excitement, I jumped up from the edge of the hole, grabbed a protruding rocky hem, and climbed up excitedly.
Standing on the top of the rock, I saw the endless sea, and when I looked up, I saw a clean night sky that I hadn't seen in a long time, and the twinkling stars seemed to be above my head!
I couldn't care about the wheezing of running all the way, I couldn't help but stand on the rocks and roar loudly, and my response was mixed with the sound of the waves crashing, constantly reverberating, I closed my eyes, felt the sea breeze, and suddenly felt how precious everything that human beings have, at least I don't have to hide in the ground to survive, and we should cherish it, and I should protect it!
"Want to go for a walk?" At this time, the voice of the Tong Emperor came to my ears, and I don't know when he had climbed the rock, smiling, obviously satisfied with my 'exaggerated' reaction.
I raised my eyes and looked around, this is a typical island, behind the beach, there is a dense jungle, I stand on this rock and cannot see the edge of the island, which means that this island is very large, and the jungle is not quiet, but from time to time there is a roar or two of wild beasts, that roar has a desolate atmosphere, it is impossible to tell what kind of animal it is, but it always makes people feel a kind of life.
There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, this is the ancestral island, the island that belongs to the demon hunters, and preserves the last inheritance of the demon hunters, I should cry when I think of this, right?
"Don't make such a disgusting expression, you just saw a little bit of Zujima. And Zujima has a lot, a lot of things! Each one is enough to shock you. However, you newcomer, don't wander around, this island is definitely not completely defenseless, and once you are hit in some places, Ah Da may not be able to save you, and you are good at causing trouble. Emperor Tong taunted me.
I don't bother with him, I'm used to it.
Turning his head, Emperor Tong suddenly jumped off the rock and jumped into the sea.
"What are you doing? So want to swim? "It turns out that Emperor Tong loves sports so much?
After a while, Emperor Tong came out of the water with a head, and casually threw a fish in his hand back into the sea, here is rich in products, Emperor Tong so casually jumped down, can catch a fish, I am more and more full of this ancestral island full of an indescribable love.
"You also come down, this is the ancestral island, for you and me, it is sacred, I don't want to set foot on the ancestral island with you in blood." The Tong Emperor was in the water and shouted to me.
I smiled and jumped into the water without hesitation.
The water was cool at night, but it was warm compared to the water of the dark river in the dungeon, and I was so happy that I let the water wash away my blood, and I could even feel the fish swimming under my feet, gently rubbing against my skin.
After a rough scrubbing, Emperor Tong and I walked onto the beach wet.
The sand here is white and soft, the stretching coastline forms a charming arc, and walking on such a beach under the stars is full of pleasure, but unfortunately it is not a beautiful woman by my side, but a child emperor.
"Isn't it beautiful? But it's a brutal sandy beach. Emperor Tong coldly said this to me.
And we walked right past this stretch of sand, and then from a large corner, to another stretch of sand that had not been seen before, the same white and soft sand, the water gently washed here, but at the edge of the beach near the edge of the island's jungle, a staircase like a.
The stairs are not high, only three short steps, and the span between each step is about one meter, and the width is no more than two meters.
Emperor Tong glanced at the carvings, then strode towards them, then lit a giant oil lamp at the edge.
I stood more than ten meters away from the stairs, and with the light of the oil lamp, I saw that the carvings were all human figures, each of them was lifelike, different faces, different hairstyles, but they were all resolute expressions, judging from the carvings, their clothes were not so neat, and the armor they wore was also full of traces, and they all held up the weapons in their hands, making various attacks and defenses.
It's like an eternal war, but they all exude the courage to die without regrets.
The Tong Emperor jumped up the stairs and gently stroked a statue, and at this time, I also walked over and jumped up, also quietly gazing at these carvings.
"Zujima is big and has a lot of secrets. In just a short period of time, I can't take you to visit the entire Ancestral Island! After dawn, we have big things to do, and I need to rest. But I think there are a few places that I must take you to see, and this is the first place. Emperor Tong put his hands in his pockets, and in the starlight, his side face showed a kind of piety.
"What do these carvings represent?" I couldn't help but become pious, if nothing else, for the kind of momentum and courage exuded by these carvings, which is also worthy of being faced.
"On behalf of every demon hunter who died guarding the ancestral island. This is only part of what can still be remembered and carved out, and more of it has been submerged. As he spoke, Emperor Tong's hand waved, and I followed his hand to look into the distance, and the staircase-like structure spread along the coastline with no end in sight.
And I can see no less than a thousand carvings.
"There is no doubt that this monument has been circling around the island until it is close to the beach on both sides of the cave! Because of their protection, they have never allowed those demon clans who came to attack the ancestral island to get close to the sandy beaches on both sides, so in order to show this merit, the stairs will keep rising, but they will not spread to the sandy beaches on both sides. Today, there are already three floors, and I don't know if there will be more in the future. The voice of the Tong Emperor seemed a little distant in the sea breeze.
"So many demon hunters?" My heart was filled with a kind of sadness, and I subconsciously said this sentence, which was a pity for my life and a grief for the demon hunter.
There have never been many demon hunters, even if Nie Yan is in an era where the statistics are not so complete, it will definitely not exceed 100,000 people, which is still an exaggerated number, in fact, even less, but he doesn't want to sacrifice so much here.
"The demon hunters who can stand on this ancestral island to guard are the elite of the elite, and this is the long river of time that has accumulated so much. In fact, it has always been inherited, and the demon hunters who guard this place are not only trained from the dungeons, but also drifted from the mainland to follow the envoys of the ancestral island at all costs. Isn't it every year that demon hunters go missing? We thought it was a demon belly, but in fact, many of them came here with the envoys of the ancestral island, guarding the ancestral island. The boy emperor looked at the night sky and said, the wind blowing his hair.
"Is that so? A secret that has never been told has been passed down, and each generation of demon hunters is guarding their own inheritance, nameless sacrifices, and no one knows their exploits. yes, what does heritage represent? It represents nothing more than the hope that the demon hunt will continue. I also looked at the distant sky and said in a deep voice, my heart overflowing with a feeling that was about to explode.
"That's one of the sources of my obsession, when I saw this monument. Can you understand? No one is a cold-blooded animal, and after seeing so many people sacrifice for protection, he will also be willing to sacrifice, putting aside life and death. Emperor Tong jumped down the stairs and kicked the white sand under his feet.
I also jumped down and whispered, "This is the Great Wall that belongs to the Demon Hunters, and I am proud that I can be the one who walks at the forefront in this era." ”
"Don't mention this, I'm going to want to beat you up." Emperor Tong said something to me, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.
I turned to look at him, "Take me to the next place." ”
