140. On the eve of the storm

Such a huge creature is like a well-trained pet dog in front of the whale man, I can't help but be amazed, and translated: "I have always called it Little Slippery Head, it is a very intelligent octopus, it can remember the people who have been seen by it, in fact, the elephant trunk octopus is not as scary as people think, if you think it is a friend, then you will be its friend, if you think it is a monster, then it is a monster." ”

I said, "I don't have the guts to see such a terrifying creature as a friend, but I do wonder why you can control these giant aquatic creatures?" Have you ever learned summoning? ”

The interpreter seemed a little puzzled, "What is summoning?" ”

"It is a kind of witchcraft used by the Central Plains wizards to control the thoughts and behaviors of animals, and if you can master it to the highest level, you can control all the animals in this world."

"I've never heard of this kind of thing, whale riders and sea creatures are not controlled and controlled, but family, brothers, friends, animals, no matter how big or small, are part of the family for us, so we dare to play with any large aquatic creatures, and they have never hurt us, of course, as long as you don't dangle in front of these creatures when they are hungry, it is really dangerous to do that."

"I see, you are indeed bold enough." I smiled, and I was deeply impressed by these strange human beings, and only those who are truly willing to touch nature and become one with nature can be recognized by these natural creatures.

"The courage of the whale rider must be the greatest among the human race, and I will not be humble with you on this point."

It's an unusually busy sea, with crystal clear waters and a colorful underwater world of coral reefs at the bottom, interspersed with many marine creatures, from giant sea beasts like elephant nose octopuses to tiny creatures like krill, and our sea boat floats on it as if we were watching a 5D special effects movie, everything makes me feel so unreal and unreal.

As the ship docked, the interpreter said: "The Sea Queen will hardly be seen on the island, and it should be about fifteen nautical miles to the west of the island, which is a relatively open offshore area, and the Youwang Tomb is located under it. ”

I said, "Don't worry, we will never touch the tomb of the king of You, brick by brick." ”

Some sailors still didn't know the significance of the Youwang Tomb to the whale pilots, and immediately asked after hearing my words: "What's the point of us coming here if we don't open the Youwang Tomb?" ”

I said: "Brother, if you believe me, don't touch the Youwang Tomb, it's a holy place for people, and we people must abide by some rules when doing things outside, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to move an inch." ”

Later, a group of people went up to the island and saw the surrounding plants covering the sky and the sun, which shows that the island is not very popular, but in the middle of the dense woodland there is a huge offering table, and the tributes placed on it have long since "disappeared", but there are many broken dishes around the table, I said: "This is the altar where you worship the Queen of the Sea?" ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly felt a bang on my forehead, I almost fainted in pain, only to see a stiff snakeskin fruit hit me, at first I thought it was a natural fall, I was unfortunately hit, I didn't expect to look up and see dozens of sturdy monkeys squatting on the tall tropical woods, looking at us with fierce eyes, unlike the monkeys I saw, the monkeys here are more insidious, and do not make any roars, just look at us with compassion.

I laughed and said, "These animals are good marksmanship." ”

After that, I also picked up small stones from the ground and prepared to fight back, but the translator pressed my hand and said, "Don't mess around, your dealing with these monkeys is equivalent to dealing with the queen of the sea, so don't offend the monkeys without all preparations." ”

After saying that, he made a gesture, only to see the accompanying whale rider carrying two bags of hemp, I thought it was with our own food, but I didn't expect to open it inside is a variety of melons, fruits and vegetables, they put these things neatly on the altar, after a while I saw the bushes shaking, monkeys appeared in all directions, only to see about a hundred monkeys began to "gather" around the altar, and the monkey's sharp cry also shook people's eardrums faintly painful.

We took this opportunity to bypass the monkeys and head towards the back of the island, the topography of this island is not the same as before, although the whale man's "hospitality hotel" although the trees do not seem to be as lush as here, but they are all over the island, can effectively block the sun, and although one side of the island is shaded, but the other side is bare and grassy, and the terrain is as high as a small mountain, which is full of dark brown ash and guano everywhere, but the most terrible thing is that there are human bones everywhere here, some are broken, Some are intact.

I was surprised and said, "Could it be that these are all done by the Sea Queen?" ”

"That's right, most of these people are grave robbers and pirates." Translated.

I laughed and said, "It can be seen that tomb robbing is really a very expensive thing. As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned to the sailors and said, "How many of you are there?" ”

"Five people, what's wrong?" One person didn't know why.

I didn't need to count it, I could see at a glance that there was one sailor missing, and it was the one who had just asked about the situation of the Youwang Tomb, I immediately realized what was happening and turned around and headed down the mountain, and the translator grabbed me and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"If you don't go back and stop it, he'll definitely get the boat away." I said anxiously.

The translator said very calmly: "With our current distance, even if we go back immediately, it is impossible to have time, no one can stop a person from having greed in his heart, only death can make him understand that his actions are wrong." ”

I sighed and said, "So he has to die?" ”

"Unless he's super capable or has a miracle, your friend won't have a chance of surviving."

I felt a little sad to hear him say this, but it was not something I could stop from coming, and I quickened my pace of climbing, and soon stood on the highest point of the island, and sure enough, I saw that the sailor had already rounded the island where we were under the tutelage of the sea breeze, and was "full speed ahead" ahead, and I exclaimed, "Come back quickly, it is not a place where you can go if you want to go." ”

only listened to the man: "Big brother, forgive me for acting privately, and I will come back when I figure out the location of the Youwang Tomb, and I won't make it difficult for you." Ignoring what I said, he pulled the windy sailboat in the direction of the Youwang Tomb.

The translator sneered and said, "Do you know why his ship is going so fast? ”

"Downwind, could it be that there is a motor under the boat?"

"The tailwind is only one aspect, but under normal circumstances, the sea breeze is not so strong, don't look at the sun shining now, the climate on the sea can change."

"You mean it changes in a few moments?"

"Why did I choose to bring you here today? It's because we know that a storm is forming nearby, and the probability of the sea queen appearing in this climate is the highest, otherwise wouldn't this trip be a tour? Who is in such a good mood? ”

Hearing this news, I couldn't help but feel even heavier, and looking into the distance, I could indeed clearly see that a large number of dark clouds were being generated in the sky in the distance, and the translator stood beside me and pointed to a sea area dotted with reefs in the distance and said: "That is where the Youwang Mound is located, the local sea conditions are very complicated, and if you are not careful, the hull will touch the reef, especially after the storm rises, it is impossible for you to control the hull to avoid the reef, so you don't need those monsters or sea queens to take action, this person must have gone and never returned." ”

I said gloomily, "Let's not talk about it, if we are here for the Sea Queen, then what should we do when the storm comes, when it appears?" ”

Translation: "The Sea Queen will only live in this barren area, and there is a cave in the cliff to the south of the island, which is one of the monkeys' nests on the island, but this group of monkey spirits will definitely not inhabit the area facing the storm when the storm hits, so this is our place, and you should be able to clearly see everything you want to see and the process of the Sea Queen climbing the island to the shore." ”
