Chapter 0135: Death Tentacles
"Well, it's not getting early, so let's go out and look for anything we can use as a quilt cover for the evening," I said eventually.
However, as soon as I finished speaking, before I could lift my feet, there was a commotion outside the temple, and many people shouted words such as "boat, boat", which was very lively.
Hurrying out of the temple, the two of us also saw a lot of people running towards the golden sand beach below the island, and from a distance, there was a steamer floating on the sea at this time. I felt strange, and the fat man on the side recognized the ship at first sight, it turned out to be the freighter that disappeared near the scene of the sea and sky not long ago.
Looking at the crowd that frantically rushed, it was impossible to guess that they must be preparing to go to the ship to find supplies to fill their stomachs and survive the coming dark night.
When the two of us came to the freighter, which had already run aground on the golden sands, there were already a lot of people who had disembarked with supplies, and it seemed that they did not dare to stay on the freighter for the night, after all, the periphery of the sea was much more dangerous than the island.
While it was still safe and there were no monsters attacking, the two of us quickly got into the cabin of the freighter. When I went in, I found that there were all kinds of materials inside, including food, drink, and use.
After grabbing a few quilts and some canned food, the two of us quickly disembarked from the boat, and finally spread out in an open space in the temple, waiting for the night to come.
Since the night may not be peaceful here, Jack, who is a shipyard, decides to patrol outside the temple with a dozen or so of his soldiers in turn to ensure everyone's safety inside the temple.
It was getting dark soon, and I ate some canned food and got ready to go to bed, as the whole temple was full of people sleeping on the floor, so I wasn't too worried, because I wasn't alone in any danger.
said that he was sleeping, in fact, most of the people present were with their eyes open, and the sea fat man was one of them, in fact, they can't be blamed, after all, in this weird place full of mysteries, who can sleep without heart and lungs, unless he is the kind of person who drinks half a catty of burning knives and falls asleep.
I'm one of the more soundly slept in the crowd, because I know that I don't need to worry about safety, and someone will wake me up when the time comes.
Sure enough, around the wee hours of the second half of the night, I was dreaming that I was drinking Moutai and sunbathing on the beach, when I was woken up by the rude sea fat man, and I heard him say: "One guard, one guard wake up quickly... There seemed to be gunshots outside, and there was a fight..."
Originally, I was still in a daze, but when I heard the sound of screams and gunfire outside the gate of the temple, I suddenly got up with a spirit. Despite the panic, I didn't get into a mess like the rest of the people in the temple, but stood quietly in a corner, watching what might happen next.
Soon, the door of the temple we were in was slammed open by a black soldier, but before he could rush inside, a branch and vine shaped like a snake suddenly wrapped around his neck, and then was dragged away with a whimper.
With the help of the dim light in the temple, I could see his eyes full of horror, so frightened and helpless.
After the door of the temple was slammed open, the people inside were even more panicked, and the next moment everyone saw that vine branches with open eyes swam in like snakes, and they looked at everyone present as if they were looking at their prey.
When the first scream in the crowd sounded, it meant that a frantic battle began, and countless vine branches were like terrifying tentacles from hell, tossing and wrying through the crowd, as if they were about to pull the people inside out one by one to fill the belly of a huge monster.
It's very strange that the two of us and the sea fat man who were hiding in the corner were not attacked by any vine branches, as if they couldn't see the two of us. Some of them even shot straight at me, and eventually jumped at the others next to me when they were a few centimeters away from me.
In the whole process of panicking, the fat man was frightened and his face turned pale and trembled for a while, I don't know what is going on? There were several speculations that those vine branches came from the great ChinaSi Great China, so they didn't kill the two of us.
I naturally chose to ignore this ridiculous remark of the sea fat man, in fact, I already had the answer in my heart, that is, the reason for the blood sacrifice during the day.
I have to say that in this strange vine branch attack, some people who are particularly deep in the water have also surfaced one by one, and they have shown their skills to fight to the death with the vine branches equivalent to death tentacles.
Because the characters in it are not simple, the whole fierce battle was infinitely prolonged, until the sky gradually brightened, this bloody massacre came to an end, and the entire temple was full of broken vine branches and human stumps.
In the end, unscathed, I and the fat man began to clean up the battlefield, checking whether there was a third living person on the entire isolated island.
Seven or eight hours ago, there were dozens of people shuttling around the entire isolated island, and in less than one night, this really became an isolated island, and there was no half of the figure.
At the beginning, the fat man and I were still puzzled by the fact that the whole island was not the slightest bit angry, and said that this person who was entangled by countless tentacles and vine branches had to have a corpse even if he died?
However, it wasn't until we saw the towering ancient tree full of humanoid fruits that it dawned on us.
It turned out that they were all hung on this towering ancient tree, and at this time, a layer of white hair had grown on Zhou's body, and it was gradually turning into the huge fruit with crimson sap that we saw when we first came yesterday.
At this time, the mysterious and strange ancient trees were full of huge fruits, some of them were still showing human form before they became substantial, and some were gradually ripening tightly wrapped in white hairs on the tree. It's hard to imagine that if the two of us were attacked by countless ghost-like vine branch demons like them, we probably wouldn't have escaped becoming one of the many fruits on it.
"Ahem..."
Just as the fat man and I were looking at the humanoid fruit hanging in our hearts for a while, a low cough sounded from the corner of the ruins outside the ancient temple, and when the two of us turned back nervously, Captain Jack, covered in blood, walked out, and he looked at the two of us with a slightly dull gaze, and was in a daze for a long time.
When we saw that there were still living people, we immediately rejoiced, and the fat man ran over to him and gestured to him, and at the same time spoke English in an unknown country, obviously wanting to talk to him.
Jack is probably about thirty years old, and it is possible that Westerners are naturally stronger than Asians, but he is very tall and burly.
He saw that the fat man was dancing and talking a lot of nonsense, and finally shook his head bitterly, and said in Chinese, which is not very fluent: "I know a little bit of Chinese, I think we can communicate very happily." ”
Somehow, I'm awkward about foreigners talking, not because I hate it, but because I feel that the way I speak is very different from ours. For example, just now, if you know Chinese, you know Chinese, why do you think we can communicate very happily?
The sea fat man did not feel anything unusual about the other party's speech, and seeing that the other party could speak Chinese, he also saved a lot of things, and directly stopped the movement in his hand and asked: "Why is it just you, your soldiers?" ”
"Last night, all my soldiers were killed," said Jack, as if curious about the two of us standing here unscathed, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, how can you two not have a little trouble?" ”
He didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, he didn't know what was going on inside? He had no choice but to look at me and motioned for me to answer.
I also don't know how to answer, not to mention that the mysterious blood sacrifice is my guess, even if it is true, I don't know the details and authoritative concepts in it, I'm afraid it needs to be explained by the person concerned.
