Ma Le and Laura didn't take two steps before they saw a path with many torii gates built like large gates, so it seems that this is indeed some ancient Japanese ruins.

The cries for help in the distance became more urgent, and from time to time there were gunshots, and the two quickened their pace, and soon came to an ancient Japanese-style wall, only to see Whitman leaning against the wall, holding a pistol and confronting five or six wild wolves. One of those wild wolves was wounded and had learned the power of the bullet, so he didn't dare to move forward for the time being, but just circled around him, looking for an opportunity.

Laura bent her bow and arrows, and Ma Le rushed straight up, and the two of them eliminated these wolves and saved Dr. Whitman. After a great deal of thanks, the bespectacled professor began to explain the latest findings.

"Look, this wall, and here, a huge door, which requires two people to turn the winch at the same time to open, and the pattern painted on it is at least hundreds of years old, what a remarkable find!" Whitman danced with excitement. "Come on, let's open this door together, I'll turn this way, that one...... Mr. Bell, please turn the winch over there! ”

"But the winch over here doesn't have handles...... Laura, touching the winch, "and a sturdy stick needs to be stuck in it...... I'm looking around for ......."

"No need!" Ma Le waved his hand, walked to the door, squatted down, inserted his hands into the crack of the door, and lifted up forcefully, "Get up!" Just listening to the squeaky sound, nearly a thousand catties of heavy dà door was lifted up by him!

"Oh, I can't see it, Bell, you have a lot of strength!" Laura exclaimed heartily.

In front of the sister-in-law, Ma Le naturally couldn't fall, and raised his chin, "Why don't you see it, I still have more skills!" ”

Behind the door, there is a winding mountain road, and the three of them enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, while walking past rows of torii gates, and finally at the end of the path, a stone statue of a woman comes into view.

Seeing this stone statue, Whitman was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ran up: "This, that's right, this is really Himiko, that legend turned out to be true, we actually came to the ancient Yamatai Kingdom by mistake!" ”

The three of them were happy, and Ma Le's ears suddenly moved, and he grabbed Laura and protected him in his arms. Several gunshots followed, and bullets hit the feet of the three men, and one shot hit Ma Le's back. With a few muffled words of Russian, a group of men dressed in tatters and armed with weapons came out of the bushes and pointed guns at three people.

The leader was a Russian, fluent in the Russian dialect, who asked several people to lay down their arms, and next to him there was an English-speaking translator.

Although Dr. Whitman has a gun in his hand, he is a powerless scholar after all, and when he saw this battle, he was instigated on the spot, and put down his pistol after a few words of confrontation, "We will not resist, and you can do as promised, right?" ”

Laura naturally didn't do it, and yelled at the doctor: "What are you doing, you have a gun, don't give in, putting down your weapons is equivalent to being at the mercy of others!" "What do you know, young man, don't be impulsive, leave it to me here, listen to my arrangement, don't resist!" Dr. Whitman fell to his knees and turned back to scold Marley and Laura.

Laura naturally didn't plan to give in, and hurriedly unloaded the bow and arrow from behind her back to prepare for a counterattack. At that moment, another person rushed out of the grass behind her, intending to subdue Laura from behind.

"Bang!" With a shocking gunshot, the sneak attack guy fell to the ground, and the neck was gone, and the broken flesh splashed Laura's body, shocking the rich daughter who had just come out of school.

It was Ma Le who shot naturally, he picked up the shotgun and fired wildly at the rest of the people, the blue quality shotgun was amazingly powerful, hitting ordinary people, the heavy was a severed limb and a headshot, and the light was also a blur of flesh and blood, and before everyone could react, he was all taken away.

Whitman knelt on the ground and held his head, and it took a long time to dare to open his eyes, only to see Laura standing with a bloody face, his eyes glazed, as if he was frightened by the scene in front of him, and the initiator of this bloody scene, Ma Le. Then calmly blew the gun pipe: "Let's go, go up the mountain, since there is a statue of Himiko here, maybe there is also the key to unlocking the curse!" ”

It took a long time for the two to recover. As modern people who have walked out of civilized society, they have never seen a scene of murder. But at this moment, not only did I see it, but the murderer still used cruel means of being ruthless and ruthless, and smashing people to pieces! How can they still be calm.

Compared with the cowardly Whitman, Laura recovered a little faster, looking at the bloody corpses, and smelling the blood on the body, the girl suddenly felt a burst of nausea, and ran to the side to help the tree trunk retching.

Ma Le walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and handed her the shotgun in his hand: "These guys are crazy, if you don't kill them, they will kill you." At this time, if you want to survive, you can only be ruthless. Adapting to killing may be hard, but it's the only way to survive! ”

Laura took two deep breaths, looked at Ma Le's eyes, and nodded helplessly: "Thank you, you're right, but ......" She turned her head to look at the inhuman-looking corpses, and finally instead of taking the powerful shotgun, she walked over to the dead Russian and pulled out the pistol and magazine on his waist. "I'll use this more easily!"

The girl didn't appreciate it, and Ma Le didn't care, so she called Whitman, who was still kneeling in a daze, and the three of them walked towards the mountain.

You can already see the magnificent ancient buildings on the hill here, which seems to be a huge temple, and the wooden buildings are built against the mountain, which looks majestic and precipitous, and antique. According to Whitman's speculation, the temple must be at least a thousand years old, and it should have been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it is rare in the world that it can still be so intact today.

But he had not gone far when there was a sudden noise on the mountain, and from time to time gunshots could be heard, and then the buildings of the monastery were lit up with sparks, and they spread rapidly, and soon the whole hill was ablaze, and the night sky was as bright as day.

"Could it be that there is also a battle in the mountains? Shall we wait? Ma Le frowned, if it was an attack by ordinary people, he could still deal with it, but to get into this kind of fire, if he was not careful, Laura might die, some of which were too dangerous.

Laura shook her head: "The place that Rose and I agreed on is behind the temple, the terrain here is complicated, and it is very likely to get lost in the detour, so while the fire is not too big now, hurry up and rush over!" ”

Ma Le said in his heart that the life and death of that Ross is my, and it is the king to quickly find the source of the curse and crack it! However, the system restricted him from coercing Laura, and after several attempts to persuade him to no avail, he had to go with her.

Fortunately, there are mountain springs and waterfalls on this mountain, and the trees are wet and humid after the rain, and although the fire is widespread, it is not fierce. The trio made their way up the hill and found the corpses of several sailors on the Perseverance, and then contacted the thugs they encountered along the way, and speculated that this was probably one of the colonies of the island's zealots. They spotted the sailors of the Perseverance, grabbed and escorted them here, not wanting the sailors to escape, and caused a fire in the chaos. But it's too late, and looking at the number of corpses, it is estimated that there are no surviving sailors.

Along the way, she killed a lot of fanatics, and Laura stabbed a few of them, and gradually got used to the feeling. Only Whitman, who didn't fire a single shot from beginning to end, just followed in fear.

When they finally reached the upper floor of the temple, there was a cliff in front of them, and according to Laura, Rose was now behind the cliff. But this cliff is at least forty or fifty meters high, Ma Le is not afraid, how can ordinary people go up?

"If you really can't do it, just give up!" "Believe me," said Marle, "even if we find the captain, we will not be able to leave this island, and the first priority is to find a way to break the curse." As far as I know, those fanatics also become thugs because they are trapped on the island, and if we break the curse, there will be no fighting on the island, and everyone will be safe! ”

"Even if there is a curse, I will find Rose first! Without him, even if the wind and waves are calm, we can't leave here! Listening to Laura's tone, he obviously didn't believe in Ma Le's way now, and insisted on going up the cliff. Walking along the mountain wall for a while really made her find a gap, this stone crack is about one meter wide, the inner wall is rough, until it leads to a mine hole more than 20 meters above the ground, this kind of thinner mountain, the mine hole is generally chiseled, there should be a road to go, just use here to climb over the cliff!

Laura looked at the top of the mountain, touched the rock wall, and finally made up her mind, leaning her back against one side of the rock wall, pedaling the other side, and assisting with both hands, so she relied on friction to slowly climb vertically upward.

Ma Le had no choice but to follow. But this kind of climbing was nothing to him, and it was an impossible task for Whitman. The professor stood at the bottom of the rock and shouted, "Hey, what are you telling me to do?" You two, hey! ”

Ma Le was already halfway up the climb, and when he heard the shouts below, he had to take out a bundle of rope from the storage space, tie one end to his waist, and throw the other end down. "Tie this to your body, and I'll pull you up!"

Whitman also tied the rope around his waist, and with one hand, the guy was lifted off the ground and swayed underneath. In this way, Ma Le carried him and began to climb up, and at this time, Laura was a few meters away from climbing to the top of the mountain, and victory was in sight.

But at this moment, Ma Le's Miracle Badge suddenly issued an early warning, and a red point of light on the minimap was moving here, it was the hostile adventurer, Drasel of Dark City!

"Damn, why is this time coming!" Ma Le looked in the direction of the red dot knowledge, and saw that not far away, halfway up the mountainside, a black shadow was standing under the rock wall, picking up a staff with a simple shape, and pointed at it!

"Oh no, he's going to kill people directly!" Ma Le remembered the other party's information, this guy's staff should have a long-range attack skill, if Lara is hit, she will definitely not survive!
