Chapter 172: Strange Voices in the Forest
Everyone followed Oia's example, lying on their knees so that their bodies could be hidden under the grass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, they all listened intently for a long time, but there was no sound, and it was still very quiet, with the occasional slight rustle of the leaves in the breeze.
"Oia, did you hear me wrong?" asked Tex in a suppressed voice.
In the darkness, Oia replied, "No, I'm sure it was the sound of someone walking, and the sound was clearly a fallen leaf trampling on the ground. ”
Although Tex was skeptical, Jack did not question Oia's conclusion in the slightest, he knew that Oia had lived in the rainforest since he was a child, and would deal with trees and sea beasts almost when he went out, and his familiarity with the forest environment was almost impossible for others to compare, and he could definitely hear the difference between the sound of the wind and the sound of people walking.
"However, there is no sound but the wind. Turks said again.
Oia whispered again, "Be quiet, listen carefully." ”
The crowd calmed down again, and listened carefully, but still heard only the sound of the wind.
"Listen, here we are again...... Click, click, click, listen, now the footsteps are hurried again! It seems like there is only one person, but it looks like there is more than one, because the footsteps are very messy. ”
Oia's analysis left everyone confused.
"What, why is it that you're the only one who hears different voices and we don't hear anything?" complained Mela.
"I don't know. After a moment of silence, Oia reported to the group: "I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, as if ...... It's coming our way!"
When Oia said this, her tone was very mysterious, as if the person who came over was really purposeful.
He stopped. ”
Just as everyone was about to get up, Oia, who was lying on the ground and listening, spoke again.
"Don't be mysterious, if you really hear someone walking, and it's a person, then we can just go to him?" said Turks.
Although Jack also felt that Turks' words were reasonable, it seemed that it was not wise to expose himself before he knew whether the people on the island were friends or foes with him.
Luthor stood up without worrying about anything, always thinking that as long as he was a Kechisa, he would not do himself any harm.
"How many of you ...... Get down!" Luthor said as he fell nervously to the ground again.
"What's wrong, Luther?" asked Turks nervously.
"Shhhh
Luthor snapped.
"Do you see clearly?" asked Turks again.
"Nonsense, we're all dark here, just the little light in the woods, can I read that wrong!?"
Curious, Jack slowly raised his head and straightened up, revealing a little of the grass. Sure enough, I also saw the little light flickering in the depths of the forest, and the light was obviously still moving, as if it was looking for something, and it seemed to be lost.
"Are we being discovered?" said Jack as he crouched down.
Oia was still listening to the voice that only he could hear, and replied, "Probably not, if it was discovered, the other party would have seen our light a long time ago, but since they also have light, then we should both be able to know about each other's existence." But it was the voice that I heard first, and then I learned from your mouth that there was light. ”
"What then?" asked Mera anxiously.
"I don't know, now, I have to wait for the other party to act first. I'm not quite sure if he's going to come to our side yet, I'll hear again. ”
After saying that, Oia directly attached his head to the ground and motioned to everyone not to move.
In the jungle, he was taught from an early age to use the function of the land to conduct sound to monitor the woods or the ground in front of him for sea beasts from a distance, and in this way, the Murak people defused countless attacks by sea beasts, thus making their country peaceful for so long, and at the same time creating such an innocent prince.
"He seems to stop a few steps, as if he stopped once in front of a tree, and was walking one by one. ”
Everyone didn't speak, quietly listening to Oia's report.
"It's about 100 meters away. ”
"Fifty meters".
"Ten meters. He's coming. As soon as Oia finished saying this, everyone could clearly see from the grass that an unusually bright white light pierced everyone's eyes through the gaps in the grass.
Maybe it's because he's been in the dark for a long time that Jack feels so uncomfortable.
But I could hear the light coming by, and the sound of someone whistling, and it was very leisurely.
"Shall we run?" asked Mela.
"Nope. Wait for him to come. Then Luthor stood up.
The crowd followed suit.
Jack could see that the light kept flashing in the woods in front of him, and the leisurely whistle echoed in his ears, but the whistling man was not in a hurry to move forward, but still followed the previous rhythm, walked to a tree, stopped, observed, and then continued to walk.
Finally, like a person holding a white light aloft, he saw five people on the path.
As if frightened, the other party asked, "Who are you?!!Why are you here!?What are you doing here!?"
Luthor covered his eyes very calmly, and after slowly getting used to the light, he said to the voice, "We are humans from the Tana continent, and we have come here to find the Kekisa. ”
At this moment, the person behind the white light only had a vague outline, and he could not be seen, but from the sound of the voice, this person should be quite old.
The old man did not move, and continued: "There are no Kaichisa here, you have gone wrong, hurry up!
"I knew this was the Netherworld, and we searched for a long time to find it. You're a Kechisa, aren't you?" asked Luthor again.
"What Kekisa, you're on the wrong side! This isn't what you said about the Netherworld, you'd better hurry up, or I'm welcome!"
Oia couldn't help laughing, and replied, "You're welcome, uncle, are you? We just want to find the Kaiqisa, and there is no malice, why would you be polite to us? Besides, there are so many of us, and you only need one. ”
Luthor immediately responded to Oia's recklessness by scolding, "Don't talk!"
Then he replied to the old voice: "Don't get me wrong, there is nothing else, he is a child, he is not sensible, I hope you don't care." You see, this is the Scepter of Blood Withered that the Kekizas gave me. With that, Luthor stomped the scepter in his hand three times and lit it up.
The people in the forest did not respond at all. (To be continued.) )
