Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 27 Strange Footprints

The second uncle smiled, "It's okay now, we have the hair mound seal in our hands, the blessing of the heavenly officials, and there are no taboos." We're going to make it this time! ”

Wenmo and I also nodded.

"Okay, it's not early, we have to hurry tomorrow, let's rest!" The second uncle said hello, and the three of us went back to the tent and slept peacefully.

Listening to the waves and drinking a little wine, I slept soundly. I don't know how long I've been asleep, and I don't know what time it is.

I looked up and found that the second uncle was still asleep, but the position next to Wenmo was empty.

Where did Wenmo go? Did you go out and pack your bags?

I got up and got dressed, intending to go out and have a look. But as soon as I unzipped the tent, I was taken aback by what was happening outside.

I saw that the outside of the tent was full of thick and heavy fog, and the heavens and the earth were connected, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly. The boundless sea around them is gone, and only the sound of the waves can be heard.

I speculate that the visibility around will not exceed twenty meters.

Since I came back from Qilian Mountain, I have some shadows in the fog, and I always feel that there is something terrible hidden in the fog, especially this dense fog.

I rolled over and pulled out my flashlight, even though I knew that in this level of fog, the light of the flashlight was really useless. However, the light always gives people some sense of security.

I held up my flashlight, cautiously walked forward a few steps, then looked around, and shouted softly: "Wenmo!" Wenmo! Where are you? But no one responded.

I didn't dare to go too far, and I was sure that if I walked a few more steps, I would definitely not even be able to see the tent when I looked back.

I could only take the tent as the center of the circle, and the distance I could see the tent as the radius, and began to look for traces of Wenmo in this range.

Just as I was about to go around to the back of the tent, I suddenly felt something grab my calf.

I was so scared that I stumbled and almost fell. I hurriedly raised my flashlight and shone it, "Don't shine, it's me!" "I took a closer look, and the principle was Wenmo.

I sighed, "Holy! Big brother, are you trying to scare me to death! Why don't you sleep here in the middle of the night? ”

Wen Mo waved his hand, "It's not the middle of the night, it's almost seven o'clock in the morning!" Also, you look at this. As he spoke, Wen Mo pointed to the ground.

I moved the flashlight and looked at the place where Wenmo was pointing, and I saw that there was nothing more than dark brown rocks on the ground, and I didn't see anything.

So I asked Wenmo, "What are you asking me to watch?" ”

Wen Mo pointed to my flashlight, "Turn off the flashlight, so you can see it more clearly." ”

I didn't understand much of what he was saying, and I could see clearly by turning off the flashlight, but despite that, I turned off the flashlight as he said.

As soon as the flashlight went out, the surroundings fell into darkness for a moment, and my eyes slowly adjusted, and I looked at the place where Wenmo pointed again.

Only then did I realize that there were some glowing traces on the ground. I took a closer look, and the marks seemed to be footprints, strangely small footprints, and barefoot, a bit like human footprints, but like some kind of fleshy claws.

"There's phosphor stuck to this thing?" Looking at these glowing footprints on the ground, I felt a little strange.

"It shouldn't be like that." Wen Mo shook his head, "These are not the effects of fluorescent agents, this should be luminescent bacteria." ”

"Glowing bacteria? What is it? ”

Wenmo told me that luminescent bacteria are fungi that attach to some deep-sea fish and can glow in low-light seas.

"So you mean that this footprint was left by some animal from the deep sea?" I couldn't believe it, because I didn't know what kind of deep-sea animal would have such a pair of claws. And the most bizarre thing is that from the arrangement of the footprints, we can see that this animal walks on two legs.

These small footprints were a little messy around the edge of our tent, indicating that the hole had once lingered here. This must have happened when we were sleeping, and I made up the scene in my head, and I felt a chill.

Looking at the arrangement of these footprints, it should be from the direction of the edge of the island. We followed the footprints, looked at the past, and it did stretch all the way to the sea.

Small in size, standing on two feet, coming from the deep sea, all these conditions add up, I feel like I don't know much about the world.

Just when I was still pondering, Wen Mo next to me suddenly shouted: "Not good!" Then he turned and ran in the direction of the tent.

I turned on the flashlight and followed closely behind so as not to fall behind in the fog, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Wen Mo said as he ran: "Didn't you notice? These footprints are only those who go out, and those who do not come back! ”

Hearing Wen Mo's words, my heart was suddenly shocked, we were really careless just now, and we didn't even notice this, which means that the thing is still there, just around the tent, and the second uncle is in danger!

The two of us desperately ran back to the tent, and I opened the tent and shouted: "Second uncle, be careful ......"

I was halfway through my sentence when I noticed a small black figure in the middle of the tent by the light of the flashlight in my hand. Wen Mo and I were stunned at the entrance of the tent all of a sudden, neither of us dared to act rashly, with the distance between it and the second uncle now, if it suddenly attacked, Wen Mo and I would definitely not have time to rescue.

Sadly, the second uncle heard half of my shout, woke up, raised his head and asked angrily: "How ......" The second uncle just said a word, and immediately swallowed all the remaining words, because he had already seen the short black shadow in the middle of the tent, and at this time the thing may have been frightened by the second uncle's voice, turned his head and grinned at the second uncle viciously, leaking a mouthful of sharp white teeth.

The second uncle was really an old man, so he didn't panic, but quietly stretched out his hand to the short knife next to him. I wanted to cooperate with the second uncle to attract the attention of that thing, so I shook the flashlight in my hand a little, and it was in this flick that I saw the appearance of this thing clearly, and to my surprise, this thing looked like a child! The only difference is that this thing is covered in scales. What the hell is this!

And at this moment, the second uncle made a move, pulled out a short knife and slashed at the back of this thing. But this thing was very keen, and with a strange scream, he jumped high and dodged the knife. Immediately afterwards, he landed and kicked on the ground, rushing towards me and Wenmo.

I saw Wen Mo reach out and touch his waist, but found that the short knife was not on his body. And I was surprised by the way this thing looked, and I didn't react at once. Seeing that the thing had already fallen in front of my eyes, Wen Mo pushed me aside, and the moment he saw that the thing had just rushed out of the tent, Wen Mo jumped in the air, and a side kick happened to hit the thing, and it was kicked to the side with a bang. Once again, I was impressed by Wenmo's reaction speed and skill.

The two of us hurried over to take a look, only to find that the thing was gone. We turned off the flashlight and saw some scattered and blurry footprints, like the direction of the sea. We reckon that thing is gone.

The second uncle also ran out with his clothes on at this time, "What about that thing?" ”

I shook my head, "No, I guess I ran away!" But what the hell is that? ”

"I don't even know what it looks like, and I don't know what it is." The second uncle said, wrapping his clothes tightly. "Where's Wenmo? Know that thing? ”

Wen Mo looked at the direction in which the thing left and said: "I once heard that there is a thing in the sea, called a sea child, legend has it that this kind of thing is like a child, covered with scales, although it has a violent personality, but it is very spiritual, and every time it appears, there must be a reason. I haven't seen it yet, though, so I'm not sure if it's a kappa. ”

The second uncle hugged his shoulders and shivered, "Anyway, this place can't be spent overnight anyway, let's go back to the ship as soon as possible!" ”
