What's under Chapter 10

Chapter 10: An Unexpected Ending

The sailor, as if frightened by something terrible, sat down on the deck, and scrambled in, screaming in horror.

The shadow of the bat came out of nowhere, and the first swept to the spot where the sailor had just stood, and looked down at the ship.

However, the light was too dim, and only the swaying water surface could be faintly seen.

When the bat shadow turned around, Long Wei, Nian Jiuling, and Leng Yue had also rushed over and gathered around the frightened sailor. The sailor fell on the ground

, with a look of fear on his face, and a muzzle in his mouth.

Long Wei leaned over and grabbed his shoulders and asked, "What did you just see?" ”

The sailor shuddered: "Man! ……”

When the sailor was asked for more details, he was clearly too frightened to explain. Long Wei could only order his sleeping hole and let people take him down

Go and rest.

Long Wei hurried to the side of the ship, his eyes on the sinking sea. Suddenly, there was a splash on the water, and something floated up. he

Gathering his eyes, it seemed to be a floating corpse, and he hurriedly ordered someone to salvage it to take a look, and it was Fang who had just fallen into the water. The deceased had just fallen into the water, but his body was stiff, his expression was frightened, and his face was pale. There are purple strangulation marks on his neck, apparently from suffocation.

The living passed glances to each other, seeing only their panicked faces in each other's pupils.

Panic suddenly enveloped the entire ship like a dark cloud. I don't know who shouted: "Return!" Return! ”

There was a sudden chaos on the ship, the anchor was over-anchored, and the rudder was turned.

With a roar, Long Wei's long sword was unsheathed.

However, before he could act, some sailors fell to their knees. Then hula, all the sailors knelt.

"Please let the ship sail back! We shouldn't be here! This is forbidden land, forbidden land! If we don't leave, no one will want to go back alive, we will all die! The sailors were hoarse and wept.

Long Wei's eyes were like ice and snow crushing, and the chill seeped through: "If you mention returning again, I will guarantee that you will die now." ”

The sailors looked at Long Wei with pale faces. Don't dare to make half a move.

No one dared to go back to the cabin and stay alone, all gathered on the deck, and the people were more daring. No one dared to steal the lifeboat and escape

Just thinking about the situation of a small boat drifting in this terrible sea makes me feel like I am killing myself.

In the middle of the night, suddenly, a dull sound of trumpets came from an indiscernible direction.

Leng Yue, who was drowsy in Nian Jiuling's arms, suddenly raised her head. Confused, he said, "The sound of the horn." Did you hear that? ”

"I hear you." Nian Jiuling said softly, gently pressing her head back into her arms, "Don't care, sleep." Fingers lightly on the back of her neck to sleep

The acupoint was pressed. So Leng Yue fell asleep comfortably.

Nine-year-old tightened the person in his arms. The sound of the horn in the dark night is eerie. For some reason, he always felt that the sound of the horn was like a death knell, conveying an ominous meaning. Tonight is destined to be an ominous night. It's best for her to fall asleep and not to be frightened by terrible things.

The sailors were jubilant. Someone shouted in surprise: "Trumpet! It's the sound of a trumpet! This means that it is not far from land! "When you go to land and find a down-to-earth feeling, you don't seem to have to worry about your life.

Only the dull, long sound of the horn, one by one, sounded slowly, for a long time.

When the horn stops, the nightmare begins.

Leng Yue slept so deeply that when she woke up, she couldn't remember where she was. The eyes are not yet open. The first subconsciously

The action is to raise your hand and touch it. When the palm of his hand touched his slightly cool and smooth cheeks, his heart suddenly felt calm.

Climbing the neck of the ninth year, he sat up straight, and asked lazily, "What time is it?" ”

"It's just dawn."

"Hmm...... Hey? Why is it so quiet on board? "From the confused state of sleep, Leng Yue gradually woke up, and finally felt something strange. Past this

At some point, it should be preparing to set sail, and the ship should be busy. And at the moment it was strangely quiet, and I couldn't hear the slightest sound of the sailors working

There was a fishy smell that stagnated in the air.

Nian Jiuling's expression was a little strange, and he didn't answer her question. So she looked to the side, and saw Long Wei, Bat Shadow, and the cat

Standing in the middle of nowhere, he raised his face and looked in the same direction. She followed their line of sight and exclaimed, "What's that?" ”

A huge island is just around the corner!

Only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the bow of the moored ship, there was an island full of deep black reefs. And last night before they anchored,

It's an empty sea, and there's no land outside of it within a few nautical miles!

Looking up, this island that appeared out of thin air could not see a single vegetation or any sign of life, only the reef along the coast of the island was hideous

The topography of the island is also quite treacherous. Leng Yue, who was extremely shocked, staggered to his feet while holding Nian Jiuling's hand: "Island? Where did it come from? Yesterday Ming

Ming is not here yet! …… By the way, did you sail last night? ”

A few people didn't say much, Long Wei picked up a few wooden planks and threw them hard. Planks of wood fall sporadically on the sea between the island and the hull. Longwei and bats

The two of them flew out one after the other, borrowing a few strokes on the floating plank on their toes, jumping lightly, and in a few moments they were already on the shore of the island

of the reef.

The island is unexpectedly big. As they watched from the boat, they only saw a corner of the island, and she looked as far as she could see

It is very large, and the view is blocked by the higher reefs, and it is impossible to estimate how large the island is.

At first glance, this craggy reef only feels like it is open and clawed, and there is no regularity at all, but a closer look reveals that there are narrow passages hidden between the reefs, turning around

It's complex, like a labyrinth.

After walking only a few steps, I heard a strange roar behind me. Several people turned around in surprise, only to see that the water around the boat moored not far away was rapidly rotating and tumbling, and the hull of the ship was also spinning in place.

Before a few people could understand, they saw a black hole-like whirlpool suddenly form on the surface of the sea, and the hull of the ship suddenly stood up, making a terrible cracking sound

, as if being pulled from under the water by the devil's giant hand, was quickly sucked into the bottom of the sea, and in the blink of an eye, only some broken wooden planks were left to float on the surface of the sea. The sailor who did not come down from the ship and the mysterious woman were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Long Wei urged: "It's not early, let's get on the road." ”

Yes, she is here to think of old death, and she can't find the answer. As soon as he turned around, he took hurried steps and walked on the road. Originally looking for treasure

The sense of anticipation has turned into uncontrollable anger. She vaguely felt that as long as she found the treasure, she could solve the mystery that was suppressed in her heart - this

Broken treasure, why so many people die for it.

The road under your feet – if you could call it a "road", is a reef except for the reef. It's craggy, sharp, slippery, and extremely difficult to walk.

The three of them have a good foundation and walk decently.

The passages between the rocks are tortuous and complicated, sometimes going underground, and you have to drill through long caves. There was standing water in it, and everyone's clothes were soaked. Walk for a while

Son, Leng Yue has to climb to a high place to take a look. When I climbed a certain height, I found a strange figure lurking among the reefs, a pair of dark and dull sluggishness

eyes, peeking at the cold moon standing on a high place. She slipped her feet in fright, and almost didn't fall off the rock.

When they looked closely, they saw that the places where the figures were lying in ambush were not on the path they had to pass.

She remembered the paper maze game she had played as a child. The right route is unobstructed, and the wrong route has monsters, traps, and other traps.

This is a real labyrinth. If you make a mistake, you will be killed. If it weren't for her living map, the people who trespassed on the island without permission would definitely be with her

Those weird things meet in a narrow way.

However, there are times when monsters stand on the wrong side. They probably waited in the maze for too long, and finally someone went to the island, but they didn't go the wrong way

to relieve their boredom, they crawled close to peep with their heads probed. As soon as he saw them approaching, he quickly crawled away, making a sound of sluggling.

So one of them was too curious, and the other accidentally fell right in front of them in the path they were on.

The black-robed, drenched strange man realized that he had made a mistake and was anxious to climb back to his job, but he fell down

The place was a stone wall several meters high, and in a panic, I couldn't jump on it, and when I saw them approaching, I was so nervous that I shrunk into a ball, half-squatting and half-lying in the way, with long hair

Filthy seaweed was attached to it, his face was pale and swollen, his long black and yellow teeth protruding from his mouth, and he couldn't tell his age, and a pair of hollow and gloomy eyes stared at him

Guys.

Leng Yue suddenly shook off his hand and walked towards the guardian who seemed to be somewhere between man and animal.

Nian Jiuling was taken aback and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Long Wei suddenly rushed forward from behind him, shouting: "Yue'er, don't be reckless!" ”

The place where Nian Jiuling was standing was very narrow, and Long Wei rushed forward like this, and the two of them were crowded together, but no one would let them

Everyone, desperately wanted to squeeze to the front to grab Leng Yue, but the two of them got stuck there......

The two of them were ruthless without saying a word, and their eyes were short-sighted, and sparks splashed everywhere.

At this time, Leng Yue walked up to the guardian and looked down at it with her chin raised. The half-human monster suddenly screamed and fled in embarrassment, Leng Yue closed her eyes and sighed deeply, that is a person, a real person. I don't know what kind of medicine I took and became a half-orc......

It's okay to be tired and hungry along the way, but thirst is life-threatening. They were in such a hurry that none of them had brought water bladders. After running around for most of the day, my throat was dry and smoking. And the puddles that accumulate around the island are also full of salty and bitter water, and they are impossible to drink.

This made them clearly aware of a serious problem: the ship had sunk, and even if they found the treasure, how would they return? All fresh water and offerings

Yang has sunk into the sea with the Leo, and the island where this treasure is located rises and falls in the sea from time to time, how can there be fresh water and food?

There is no way out for them. At that time, even if you find the golden mountain, you can't use the gold as food and water to drink, won't you hold the gold mountain and starve to death?

This conjecture weighed down on everyone's hearts, but no one said it. Since it can't be solved, it's useless to say it, and it's better to be temporary

Avoid the question and find the treasure again.

However, Jiuling took out a few grassroots-like things in time and distributed them to everyone, saying that they could quench their thirst by holding them in their mouths. Leng Yue was busy stuffing in

In his mouth, he suddenly felt a coolness spread along his throat to his abdomen, temporarily deceiving his thirsty tongue, and it was really a lot more comfortable.

Seeing that twilight was coming and time was pressing, even if he was physically exhausted at this time, he did not dare to slack off. Leng Yue, who was walking in the front, turned a sharp bend, and before she could see the situation in front of her, she felt that her feet were empty, and with a scream, the whole person slipped down!

Fortunately, Nian Jiuling followed close and grabbed one of her arms.

She felt the force of her fall stopped, but her feet were still dangling. Trembling opened his eyes, looked at the nervous face of the old Jiuling above his head, and then to

Look under your feet. This time, I almost didn't faint.

Below is a veritable abyss, the deepest black hole, and you can't see anything clearly.

As soon as her arms tightened, she was pulled up and plunged into Nian Jiuling's arms, her legs so weak that she couldn't move for a long time.

After calming down, I opened my eyes to see where she had fallen. It was a huge, very big bottomless pit. How to describe it

How big is it? Leng Yue was born with a clear idea of size and mileage. It was only when they were on the edge of the pit that they realized

WHITE: It turned out that the whole island was like a giant hollow funnel, and they had trekked all day, just crawling on the edge of this funnel.

A cool gust of wind poured up from the bottom of the pit and poured into the mouths of several people who were open in surprise, and tasted the heavy salty smell.

There is no other option.

"Get into the pit!" Decisively came out with two words, took the lead in finding a suitable foothold, and tentatively moved down. Moved for a moment and looked up at the people above

Said: "Algae is attached to the stone, it is a little slippery, you must be careful." ”

Look at the book rim for the first time
