Chapter 250: The ...... Carefully Searched in the Wreckage
The wreckage of the wooden boat is nowhere to be found, and the dead body is full of mysteries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"These ...... It's the wreckage of the wooden boat, yes. ”
The girl with long silver hair stood cautiously on the reef, and even if she stepped on it barefoot, she could easily be swept away by the sudden waves, so she did not dare to be careless at all, but moved her steps very steadily, and even the small figure of a girl, who was not even a girl, seemed so small in front of this magnificent sea.
Large pieces of broken wood in front of the reef area continue to rise and fall with the surging waves, perhaps most of the wreckage has been swept into the endless ocean, but there are still quite a lot of wreckage stuck between the cracks of the reef, even if it is soaked by the seawater, you can still vaguely see a trace of the shape of the wooden boat.
She was a step too late, perhaps.
Mu Xue suddenly had this thought, as far as she knew, there was no large-scale plan to go to sea in her tribe, so it was obvious that such a large piece of wooden boat wreckage would appear here only because of the Moon Prayer People who crossed the sea from the Northern Yuan Continent, but at this time, there were only large pieces of wooden wreckage between the reefs in front of her.
Did the boats shatter because they finally hit the reef beach on the shore? She sincerely hoped that this was the case, for the scene before her was not only explained by the broken ships of the crossers, but also for an even worse reason: the boats had already broken in the wind and waves during the crossing, and then they had been washed up by the constant waves on the surface of the sea all the way to the shore and stuck in the reef.
The same ending, but the cause is likely to be two diametrically opposed situations, what is the life and death of these people who cross the sea......
At least for now, there is no movement near the wreckage of the boat...... Mu Xue secretly raised her vigilance, this coast can be said to be very barren, after leaving the forest, there is only a lone pale tree growing quietly near the reef, and even the roots have been soaked in the seawater. It was a sea salt tree, and Xinglan had seen its kind in the vicinity of the saline land, a very strong salt-tolerant tree that could even grow directly in the sea, and its pale surface was not actually the bark, but the salt discharged.
Suddenly, Mu Xue was slightly stunned, and then cautiously jumped onto another reef, while holding the little rough spot on the reef tightly with her hand, looking not far away, the wind blowing from the sea with a salty smell came to her face, so she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, but she still saw clearly what was floating in the gap of the reef.
Is that...... One hand, one sticking out of the sea, stuck between the crevices of the reef, the whole hand was covered with colorful and messy spots.
Mu Xue's face was a little unsightly, and she subconsciously stretched out her arm that was still silver, and compared it, she quickly realized what it meant, and sighed softly, her face a little heavy.
Even if it has been frozen for a long time, it can still be seen that this hand has struggled, Mu Xue didn't think about rushing over to save people, because it was completely unnecessary, unless he was willing to make it like this, there was only one possibility for the skin of the Moon Prayer person to show this kind of color spots with chaotic pigmentation.
She bent down lightly on the reef and grabbed the palm that seemed to have been casually soaked in a dye bucket, which was larger than hers, but it was soft and completely unresistant. Taking a deep breath, she jerked upwards with all her might, pulling the body that had been immersed in the sea directly above the surface.
Bubbling one after another protruded from the skin covered with a large amount of variegated color, the body that was so thin that there was almost no fat looked as if it was a skeleton, this was a female moon prayer corpse that looked to be about thirty years old, and even began to emit a rotting stench after leaving the sea, and the silver pupils on the face had swelled up due to the loss of muscle control in this long period of soaking, and almost completely turned into the circle of the full moon.
At a glance, you can tell that this moon prayer man has been dead for a long time.
As a child who grew up in the forest, Mu Xue didn't feel any fear and retreat from corpses, even if it was the same kind of corpse, it only made her feel a little sorry...... There were already countless people of the Moon Prayer clan who died in front of her, and even if the lack of food on the Nanyuan Continent was not serious, it didn't mean that they could live comfortably.
She dragged the body up the reef again...... Since the Moon Prayer Man's own arm strength is very strong, even if she is still young, she can easily drag the adult corpse up, and carefully examine the face of this corpse, and confirm that she has no impression of this face, then it is very likely that this corpse is left behind by the group of people who crossed the sea.
This is not good news, Mu Xue felt a little troublesome, if this corpse died after the successful landing of the sea crosser, then there is no reason for other moon prayers to let the body of their companion be stuck in the reef crevice and ignore it, so it is very likely that this is the moon prayer who died in the ocean, but in the end, it was washed away by the waves in this ocean until it was washed to the shore of the Nanyuan continent.
This undoubtedly made the possibility of the existence of survivors lower, which was really not good news for her, in this wild age, it was not the kind of situation that could have a massive population of billions, and the lives of each clan were extremely precious.
A few crisp collision sounds brought Mu Xue back to reality, she looked at the source of the sound with some amazement, it was from inside the corpse in front of her, suddenly, as if she realized something, she quickly turned the corpse in front of her over. The back of the corpse, which looked woundless on the front, looked extremely hideous and terrifying, and the surface of the large area of skin was no longer the color of the Moon Prayer Man after his death, but almost carbonized black, shattered at the slightest touch.
"It's ...... What caused it? Mu Xue looked at the back of this corpse with some shock as if it had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, there was a crack in the middle of the carbonized skin, and even the rotten internal organs could be clearly seen inside, and in this crack...... The source of the collision sound finally appeared in front of Mu Xue.
The small body is wrapped in an oval carapace, and the sharp limbs are constantly cutting the minced flesh from the corpse and stuffing it into the mouth, and its shape is believed to be not strange at all, this is a tide horseshoe crab, perhaps it has stumbled upon this sumptuous meal is feasting.
Mu Xue frowned, as a member of the Moon Prayer People, she naturally didn't want to see the corpses of her compatriots being eaten by other creatures, but to put it bluntly, the tide horseshoe crab didn't do anything wrong, so she just gently grabbed the tide horseshoe crab that realized that something was wrong and began to struggle, and then casually threw it into the distant ocean, splashing a small splash on the boundless blue...... Well, you can't kill it.
The action of grabbing the tide horseshoe crab seemed to touch something, the hand that the corpse had originally placed under the water trembled and then slowly let go, Mu Xue realized that it seemed to be holding something, she cautiously broke the remaining fingers, but did not reach out directly to touch it.
This is to be on the safe side, even if it has been soaked in seawater for so long, who can guarantee that there will be no toxins on that unknown thing that can be effective on skin contact?
However, what emerged from the corpse's hand still made Mu Xue feel a little confused, because it was something she had never seen before: "What the hell is this?" Is it something unique to the North? ”
It was a soft, blue floc that looked like some kind of plant fiber, but she wasn't sure what it was.
"The petals of the colorful cloud flower...... How did it end up here? A crisp girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind Mu Xue, making her so startled that she almost slid down the reef on her feet, but a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her tightly, although the arm was not very strong, but it had great strength, "Be careful, if you fall into the sea, you will be in trouble." ”
Escaping from the crisis of almost falling into the sea, Mu Xue, who was still a little frightened, relaxed a little, although he didn't know how the other party appeared behind him quietly, but the existence of being able to communicate was naturally not a dangerous beast, not to mention that the other party had almost saved his life just now.
However, when she looked back at the appearance of the girl who was about the same age as herself, Mu Xue was still a little stunned and exclaimed: "You, you, you...... How could you be ......"
"Look, I knew it was going to be this reaction." The girl looked at the black and white Tai Chi bird on her shoulder, chuckled, and didn't know if she was talking to herself or really talking to the bird, and then looked at Mu Xue with a somewhat strange look, but at least Mu Xue could see that there was only a kind teasing in it, "So, let's introduce myself...... I'm Xinglan. ”
"......" Mu Xue was still in a daze, maybe she suddenly saw a person who didn't look like a moon prayer person at all, but not only could she communicate normally but also dress neatly, even if she got along with Lonely Cloud all year round, she couldn't react...... After all, there is still a big gap between the two.
Yes, Mu Xue didn't know Xinglan, to be precise, Yunmo and Yumo kept their promise to Xinglan very well, and didn't tell Mu Xue these things, even Lonely Yun only met her often after being bumped into by accident. Of course, Lonely Yun himself also likes to stay with Mu Xue, and his intimacy is far greater than that of Yunmo and Yumo.
So, why did Xinglan suddenly decide to take the initiative to meet Mu Xue? In this regard, the tide knot nesting on her shoulders could only helplessly look up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and the perennial relationship has made her deeply understand how jumpy Xinglan's thoughts are...... Unreliable in all senses, maybe she suddenly had a bad taste attack and thought it was funny.
"Na ......" Xing Lan didn't care about Mu Xue, who was still a little stunned, and directly bent down and picked up the trace of blue flocculent from the corpse's hand, revealing a playful smile, "Although there has been deformation in various senses, there will be no mistake in the relevant genetic identification, something really interesting has happened, how can there be petals of Caiyun Flower here?" The life of the Dragon Soul Chronicle......"
