But before I could pierce the other party, my wrist was directly clasped by this person, this person reacted very quickly, his wrist turned, the diving knife in my hand almost came off, and then a familiar voice came, "Zhongyi, it's me, what's wrong with you?" ”

It was Mai Lao's voice, I looked up, it was really him, and I was covered in cold sweat at this moment, just like taking a bath.

My hand holding the knife trembled a little, "Mai Lao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you, I'm a little messy." "It's thanks to Mai Lao's quick reaction, otherwise I would have stabbed him to death.

I hurriedly put away the diving knife, patted my face vigorously with my hand, and after slapping a few big mouths, I calmed down a little.

This ghost place is really scary, I've been through so many things, even when facing those two female corpses and the thorn foal, I've never been so timid, but this place is really like Jiao Ba said, full of evil and yin.

"What the hell is going on? Why do you look so bad? Mai Lao grabbed my shoulders and tightened hard.

Jiao Ba said beside him at this time, "Oh, Mai Lao, you came at the right time, just now Brother Yi said that he saw a person, it seems to be some kind of thin old man, isn't this the two of us planning to look for you." ”

"A wizened old man? Where was it found? Mai Lao was also taken aback, and his eyes became very serious, as if they were shining.

"It's in a muddy field in front of me, there were only footprints before, but then Brother Yi said he saw a person." Jiao Ba stretched out his hand and pointed back.

"Did you see that?" Mai Lao asked him.

Jiao Ba shook his head quickly and said, "No, I didn't see it, I was observing other places at the time." ”

I glanced at Mai Lao and said, "Believe me, Mai Lao, what I said is true, then there was indeed someone just now, do you remember what I told you before?" I see a figure on the top of a mountain? I suspect that the old man just now is him. ”

Mai Lao glanced at me, and then walked forward, Jiao Ba and I followed closely, he walked to the mud and squatted down, Jiao Ba handed him a flashlight, he looked at it carefully and said, "There are no footprints in this place." ”

What the? No footprints? Jiao Ba and I glanced at each other, and quickly squatted down to take a look, but after seeing it, we were all dumbfounded, the footprints on the mud were all gone, and the previous row of chaotic footprints disappeared out of thin air.

"That's not right, the footprints are still here." I still don't believe that the footprints are clearly visible, but now it's a piece of mud, there's nothing, what the hell is going on.

"Yes, these footprints are obviously there, this is what I first discovered, I can't be wrong, how could it suddenly disappear." Jiao Ba stared at the sludge, and his eyes never took his eyes off.

Mai Lao said calmly, "Are you sure? Didn't look away? ”

"How can it be possible to look away, it's okay to look away alone, can't I and Lao Ba both look away." I'm a little angry, and he obviously doesn't believe us.

Mai Lao hurriedly explained, "I don't mean that loyalty, I don't suspect anything about you, but there is no way to find anything now, last time you said that there were people on the top of the mountain, unless you go up to the top of the mountain to see." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Come on, I won't go to the top of the mountain, let's go back quickly, Jenny, they are still waiting for us to make a fire." ”

Mai Lao nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, let's go back, but we are still short of water, no water, more sad than no food, we should think of a way to see if we can find some water to go back." ”

Jiao Ba stood up and said, "In a place like this, there should be edible fruits, let's look for them, and we can quench our thirst with the fruits." ”

The three of us searched the surrounding area, and I found nothing edible except for the strangely shaped trees, and I even wanted to give up, although I was thirsty, but when I thought of the shriveled and thin old man, I felt uncomfortable.

"Mai Lao, Brother Yi, there is a discovery." Jiao Ba's loud voice suddenly came from nearby.

Mai Lao and I hurriedly ran over, Jiao Ba was standing under a tree, looking up and shining a flashlight on it, "Look, there is something on it, I don't know if I can eat it." ”

I followed the light and looked up, and there were a lot of fruits hanging on top of this big tree, but this fruit was very strange, I had never seen this kind of fruit when I was so big, it looked red and red on the outside, but the specific shape was not clear.

"I'll climb up and get a few down." I pulled out my diving knife and was ready to start climbing the tree.

Jiao Ba stepped forward and grabbed me and said, "Forget it, Brother Yi, let's come, you can't do it." After he finished speaking, he immediately began to climb the tree.

Although Jiao Ba's movements are relatively slow and his posture is more ugly, fortunately, Jiao Ba climbed up safely along the way, and Jiao Ba is also smart enough, he does not pick them one by one, but directly cuts off the branches with fruits with a knife.

In this way, the whole branch will fall to the ground with a lot of fruit, I squatted down, picked a fruit and looked at it in my hand, this thing is very strange, except for the appearance of red, compared to other fruits, it is simply a four-like, if you want to say something like something, the shape of this fruit is more like a baby face, and it is still a smiling face, it looks very interesting.

"Mai Lao, what kind of fruit is this? I've never seen it. "I took this baby-faced fruit and said to Mai Lao.

Mai Lao also held one in his hand, and after he looked at it, he whispered, "It looks a bit like ginseng fruit?" But the ginseng fruit I remember is white, this fruit is so red, it's strange, I haven't seen it. ”

Jiao Ba climbed down from the tree at this time, "How is it?" Can you eat it? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen anything about it, so come and see." "I casually threw this thing into Jiao Ba's hand.

Jiao Ba took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, since he saw this fruit, he frowned, and then he took out a knife and opened a small opening in the middle of this fruit, and as soon as this small mouth was opened, a red liquid flowed out of this fruit.

"Damn, it's bleeding?" I'm an idiot.

Mai Lao also looked at Jiao Ba with a puzzled expression, Jiao Ba stuck the red liquid with his hand, and then put it on the tip of his tongue and tried it, he nodded slowly and said, "Well, you can eat it, there is no problem." ”

"What the hell is this?" I still didn't understand it, and he didn't say what kind of fruit it was, just said it was edible.

Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "I can't remember what it is, but I seem to have heard of this kind of thing, which is a kind of food similar to ginseng fruit, but there is still a big difference, you can wait until I think about it, anyway, this thing can be eaten, so don't worry." ”

"What the hell is that?" I always felt that this fruit was weird.

Jiao Ba said a little impatiently, "Are you annoyed, you don't care what it is, just eat it." ”

I glared at him and said, "Damn, what if I get poisoned." ”

Mai Lao smiled next to him and said, "Hehe, it shouldn't be, didn't Xiaoba try it just now." ”

"That's right, I've drunk what are you afraid of, let's go, let's go back quickly, they are still waiting for us." Jiao Ba directly picked up the firewood and walked out.

Mai Lao and I picked this strange fruit, each hugged a bunch of them, and followed Jiao Ba's footsteps to go back

On the way back, I didn't dare to look around anymore, I was afraid to see the old man again, he gave me the feeling of not only unknown mystery, as if there was a terrible murderous aura, like a ghost, which made people frightened.

Especially his orange-yellow cat's eyes, except for this color, how could he be exactly the same as the cat-eye man in black? There was almost no difference, and for a moment, I even suspected that he was the cat-eyed man in black.

From his body shape, as well as the unpleasant smell, there is a big difference between him and the cat-eye man in black, the two are obviously not at the same level, he is skinny and shriveled, but the cat-eye man in black is tall and big, and has a burly physique, which is really too different.

Judging from the clothes he wears, he is almost like a flower who asks for food, especially his messy hair, which makes people even more incomprehensible, and the scattered hair makes people look like lonely ghosts.

If he is not a cat-eye man in black, then who is he? It can't be a legendary savage, right? Could it be that ... Does he have some kind of connection with the cat-eyed man in black? I don't understand, I can only understand it this way for the time being, I really can't think of a better reason.

I pondered over and over again, the shriveled and emaciated old man, had he been living here, or had he been shipwrecked here like us?

Besides, why did he follow us all the way? If he wanted to kill me, it would have been easy, because I could barely detect his whereabouts, and he was so close to me that I couldn't even feel it.

If he really wanted my life, it would have been easy, or was he trying to scare me so that we would have to retreat? There must be something wrong with this, this shriveled old man will never appear in front of me for no reason, this is obviously his intention.

What secrets are hidden in this strange island? There must be some kind of connection in this, but I don't know what it is.

I suddenly felt that it was no coincidence that we were able to land on this small island, as if it was arranged by the dark, and all these problems had to be returned to that huge underwater cavern, and if we were not caught in the hole, we would not have come to this desert island at all
