Chapter 180: The Catacombs

Seeing Meng Nan coming, the panic in this Zhi Qi's eyes became even heavier, its body trembled, and it looked at Meng Nan with a winc.

Meng Nan is well versed in human psychology, and most of the people with twinkling eyes are divided into two kinds, one is treacherous, and the other is cowardly by nature. Although this Zhiqi is not a human, but according to Meng Nan's estimation, this guy should belong to the latter, otherwise it would not have seen that he didn't even dare to scream.

How to communicate with it is a big problem at hand. Meng Nan thought for a moment, turned around and took a grilled fish that they had eaten leftover, handed it to this Zhi Qi, and untied the rope on its body by the way.

Zhi Qi looked at Meng Nan in fear, and saw a friendly smile blooming on Meng Nan's face.

No matter at any time, a smile is always the best tool to melt indifference, and under Meng Nan's innocent smile, the fear on Zhi Qi's face gradually receded. It reached out and took the grilled fish, took a careful bite, and immediately stared at Meng Nan, observing his reaction.

Meng Nan smiled and spread his hands and made a casual movement. Only then did Zhi Qi put his heart down and took a bite of the grilled fish again.

From the allusions that Yin Ruoqing said, it can be analyzed that Zhiqi, a creature, is more concerned about the desire for the stomach. So Meng Nan launched a friendly offensive with food, and sure enough, it succeeded.

This Zhi Qi put his heart down, and he could finally feel the wonderful taste coming from his mouth. It gulped down the grilled fish, and after eating, it licked its grease-filled hands before looking up at Meng Nan, and the panic in his eyes was no longer visible.

While it was eating the fish, Meng Nan had already put a few thin branches into the bonfire, burned the branches, and made a few simple charcoal pens.

Zhi Qi and Yin Ruoqing looked at Meng Nan with big eyes, and saw him squatting on the ground. Sketch it out with charcoal.

Meng Nan drew several pictures, the first one, he and Yin Ruoqing were drifting on the sea in a boat, and the second one, the waves were surging and the boat was overturned. In the third picture, he and Yin Ruoqing were washed up on a desert island by the sea, and in the fourth picture, Meng Nan cut down trees and made a small boat, and the two sailed away from the island.

Although there are few strokes, Meng Nan has received special training from Mrs. Su, and these paintings are very expressive and completely reveal his experience and intentions.

That Zhi Qi scratched his head and looked at it for a while, then nodded to Meng Nan. Shaking his head again, the two furry hands gestured for a while, and finally shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

Meng Nan and Yin Ruoqing glanced at each other, knowing that Zhi Qi should have understood his painting and probably wanted to express something, but its expression was too difficult. It's hard to understand.

Zhi Qi is also very self-aware, and he knows that he can't express himself very clearly. He scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously for a while. Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

Zhi Qi pulled Meng Nan's clothes, pointed outside, and motioned for him to go out with him.

Meng Nan's mind was racing, this Zhi Qi seemed to have a relatively cowardly personality, and this kind of character generally did not have any harmful intentions, so he told Yin Ruoqing two sentences. followed Zhi Qi out of the cave.

At this moment, night has quietly fallen, and it is pitch black outside. This Zhi Qi didn't know whether he was familiar with the terrain or could see at night, so he took Meng Nan through the forest and beat the leaves like walking on the ground, and came to a forest at the foot of the mountain.

In the middle of the woods. Zhi Qi led Meng Nan to a very thick tree, and he reached out to pick up a pile of weeds under the tree, and a dark hole was revealed.

Zhi Qi jumped down, and Meng Nan took a deep breath and jumped down with it.

Walking in the gloomy cave, Meng Nan always looked at Zhi Qi vigilantly. However, this Zhi Qi seems to be really simple by nature, and he doesn't mind handing over his back to Meng Nan at all. It took Meng Nan forward in a circle for a while, and a spacious open space appeared in front of the two of them.

As soon as he arrived, Meng Nan smelled an extremely strong rancid smell. Wooden stakes with thick bowls were inserted into the ground, and from time to time there was a miserable green fire that flickered and then disappeared. Seeing those phosphorus fires and smelling the smell of the dead, Meng Nan immediately understood that this was probably a cemetery. Those stakes, which are about the meaning of tombstones.

Meng Nan looked at Zhi Qi in confusion, and saw that this Zhi Qi stretched out his hand and shook it, and a tree trunk magically appeared in his hand. The trunk of the tree glowed orange in the darkness, dimly illuminating the surroundings.

Glow-in-the-dark trees? That's how Meng Nan understands it. I saw Zhi Qi holding the glowing tree trunk, bypassing the tombstone trunks that were erected on the ground, and came to the corner of the clearing.

Zhi Qi set the glowing trunk aside, and once again used its spatial manipulation ability to take out a wooden tool that resembled a shovel and dig it up in the ground.

After a while, the soft earth was dug up, and a highly decomposed corpse was revealed.

Through the hazy orange-red light, Meng Nan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this disgusting corpse.

This corpse turned out to be not Zhi Qi, nor a human being, but a Xiaoyang.

Although the muscles of the corpse's face had fallen off a lot due to decay, Xiao Yang's characteristic protruding snout was extremely obvious, and Meng Nan frowned silently. The appearance of this corpse actually didn't help him in his current situation, and he really couldn't think of what Zhi Qi would do with him.

After Zhi Qi dug out Xiaoyang's corpse, he didn't stop, its tools started again, and after a while, another corpse was dug up next to it.

The time of death of this corpse is about a little closer than that of Xiaoyang. It still remains in a lifelike state, or there is another possibility, and the corpse will never decay. Because, this is the corpse of a purple devil.

The invulnerability of the purple devil, Meng Nan has already seen it, although Meng Nan is confident that if he has a lightsaber card, he can easily deal with a purple devil, but in this environment, his survival ability is actually not as good as a purple devil.

Thinking of this, Meng Nan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. At this time, Zhi Qi had already dug the third grave pit.

The corpse in this pit was only white bones, and it was no longer possible to tell what race it originally belonged to. However, after digging out the bones, the Zhi Qi stopped his movements, leaned down and searched the white bones for a while, and after a while, he found a small sealed wooden box.

Zhi Qi handed the small wooden box into Meng Nan's hand, Meng Nan looked at it suspiciously, Zhi Qi grinned, and made a gesture to ask Meng Nan to open it.

Although this Zhi Qi has always been very friendly, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Meng Nan was afraid that there was something in this wooden box, so he did not open it immediately, but carefully observed Zhi Qi with scrutinizing eyes.

Seeing the look on Zhi Qi's face, full of flattery and flattery, Meng Nan didn't think that Zhi Qi could have acting skills to hide from himself, so he immediately opened the small wooden box carefully.

Inside the wooden box was a stack of moon-white hard things. Like a book, it was threaded with silk thread. Meng Nan carefully flipped through one sheet and immediately froze.

The seal engraved here turned out to be the common language of the Federation......

Meng Nan turned his head and saw Zhi Qi's flattering smiling face and the gestures he gestured.

The bright and extinguished bonfire, the fragrance of the sea fish barbecue overflowed, that Zhi Qi had already gobbled up seven or eight big fish, Meng Nan looked at its slightly bulging belly, and wondered if its stomach was also located in another space, this thing was so edible......

It is about Zhiqi's nature to be greedy, so this Zhiqi will taste Meng Nan's grilled fish, eat the marrow and know the taste, and give this box to Meng Nan in exchange for Meng Nan's grilled fish.

Taking advantage of the interval between the grilled fish, Meng Nan and Yin Ruoqing had already finished reading the words engraved on the thing. At the same time, the two of them had a feeling of the vastness of heaven and earth, and they were shocked by what was recorded on it, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

This thing is made from a kind of seashell in the sea. In the Sona Empire, this kind of thing has a resounding name, called Siyu.

Siyu explained that it was the logbook of the Sona Empire. This is the legacy of Captain Billy, the most legendary Captain in the history of the Sona Empire. Of course, this is his boast in his thoughts. Or it could be the truth.

According to the records in Siyu, the territory of the Sona Empire is several times larger than that of the Kepu Federation. Like the Kep Federation, they are all of the same origin. The people who lived together in the midst of natural disasters.

Later, these people left the source of development together, each looking for a safe place to survive. The ancestors of the Kepu Federation established the Federation in the Promised Land, while the ancestors of the Sona Empire vigorously developed various technologies and improved the human living environment in a difficult and difficult environment.

The people of the Sona Empire have been committed to the expansion of the country's borders, and they have established many enclaves and military bases in the vast desert land area outside the federal walls. Only the walls of the Federation are a trench that they have not touched for the time being.

On land, the walls of the Yorkep Federation caused the Sona Empire to lose a lot, so they set their sights on the sea.

Finding a sea route from the sea and going straight to the heart of the Kep Federation is the ultimate dream of every navigator of the Sona Empire. If it hadn't been for an accident, this dream would have almost come true a hundred years ago.

According to Captain Billy, he miraculously drifted to the shoreline of the Federation after months of sailing on the vast sea.

Captain Billy was a bold and careful man, and he actually lurked in Huayu City on the coast of the Union for three days before returning to the sea and setting sail with the results of his investigation of this country.

Captain Billy didn't record the experience of those three days in great detail, but there was one comment that made Yin Ruoqing, who was a member of the Federation, feel extremely ashamed.

"This is a country lost in the shadows of cards. Their people are accustomed to a literary and artistic life, and when war is ignited, they are as fragile as shells in the sea......"

Lady Luck didn't always favor Captain Billy, and on his way back, he was caught in the same tornado that Mennam had encountered, and the ship was shattered, and he was washed up on the desert island...... (To be continued......)
