Chapter 31: The Mysterious Dwarf
According to what Yu You said, the demon clan's attack on Luowei Island happened about a month ago, in just one month, can hundreds of corpses rot to this extent? Even if the skin and flesh are devoured by the demon clan, at least there should be some meat residue left, why are the white bones in the giant pit so clean, there are no corpse insects, and there is no smell of rotting stench.
Xia Yu felt that things seemed a little weird, but he didn't think much about it, after all, his understanding of the demon clan was very shallow, maybe there were some monsters in the demon clan who liked to eat carrion.
Yin Li comforted Yu You, and everyone was about to continue to move towards the underground palace.
"Wait!" said Inujun, suddenly.
Yin Li said in a low voice: "What did you find again?"
Inurong crouched down and sniffed back and forth in a messy bush not far away.
"Is it a monster?" Yin Li said worriedly.
Dog Rong raised his head and frowned: "It's not a monster, it's a person!"
"People?"
Pointing to the grass, Inurong said, "There's a guy who came here just now!"
"What?" the crowd was shocked.
Yin Li asked Yu You, "Could it be your clansman?"
Yu You hesitated: "It shouldn't be possible, it's impossible for my people to come here at this time." Looking at the dog Rong, "Could it be that you smelled it wrong?"
Dog Rong said: "No, this person's breath is very strong, I can even conclude that this person is not only a living person, but also a living man, and he is not very old!"
Yin Li frowned and said, "Could it be that there are other people on this island besides the Xiling clan, and why did this person come to this place?"
Dog Rong said: "I suspect that this person may have discovered us when we came over just now, but because the aura of the white bones here was too strong, it covered his breath, so I didn't notice it for a while!"
Yin Li's brows furrowed even deeper: "If he has already discovered us, then why didn't he show up? We are all human races, will it still harm him? He has no reason to avoid us!"
"Things seem to be a little strange......"
Xia Yu didn't speak all the time, just observed quietly, and couldn't help but say at this time: "I think we should find this person first, ask what is going on, and then go to the underground palace." ”
"But Lord Zhansi, if we can't get to the entrance of the underground palace before dark, then my clansmen ......"
Yin Li glared at Xia Yu and said, "That's right, even if this person is acting strangely, we don't have time to go out of town, if you want to find someone, then you can go and find it alone!"
At this moment, the harlequin suddenly said: "I also think that I should find someone first, and then go to the underground palace." ”
Yin Li was stunned: "Harlequin you ......"
Dog Rong glanced at him and said, "Be careful in everything, this person behaves so strangely, there must be a reason for it, I think he shouldn't have gone far at this time." ”
Yin Li snorted and said no more.
Dog Rong said: "Miss You, you don't have to worry too much, we will definitely be able to get to the entrance of the underground palace before dark!"
Yu You lowered her gaze and hummed softly.
The dog Rong immediately used the power of the spirit nose and chased all the way along with the breath left by the mysterious man.
The crowd deviated from their original direction, and no longer headed toward the center, but toward the west side of the island. The trees in the west became denser, and the speed of the crowd gradually slowed down, and the shadows of the trees overlapped in all directions, and the pine trees were of different shapes, like ghosts.
After walking for an hour, others were fine, but Yu You gradually couldn't walk. The serious injuries she had suffered had not yet healed, and now the scarlet blood spots began to ooze from the clothes around her waist, and her face was becoming paler.
"Take a break. Yin Li said.
While everyone sat down to rest, Inurong was still searching for the breath of the mysterious man nearby.
Xia Yu sat for a while, and suddenly felt a little anxious, so he got up and entered the woods, and walked behind a tall bush to get up, and the smell of urine was pungent for a while.
The face of the dog Rong in the open space in the distance changed, and he hurriedly withdrew the spirit nose totem, covered his nose, and secretly scolded: "Phew!"
Xia Yu finished his convenience, shook twice, snorted, and was about to go back, when suddenly a dark voice sounded above his head: "You shouldn't come here!"
Xia Yu looked up in horror, only to see a colorful snake head poking out of the dense pine needles above his head, spitting scarlet letters, looking very hideous.
Xia Yu hurriedly took two steps back, and said vigilantly: "Are you a monster?"
The snake said: "What are you doing on Luowei Island?"
Xia Yu carefully observed and found that the voice did not come from the snake's mouth, but from behind the pine needles, and shouted: "What the hell are you, why are you sneaky and afraid to see people?"
The voice said, "Who said I don't dare to see anyone? I can see you, but you can't see me!
Xia Yu listened to his tone, and seemed to have no ill intentions, and asked, "Are you human?"
The voice said, "Of course I'm a human being! I've been a human being since I was born, and I've been a human being for decades, so you dare to say I'm not a human being?"
Xia Yu seemed to be a little entangled when he heard what he said, and asked, "The person who appeared next to the white bone pit just now is you?"
The man said, "What if it's me?" You haven't answered my question, what are you doing here on Lok Sho Island?"
Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You have to tell me why you came to Luowei Island first, so that I can tell you why I came." ”
The man said: "No, I asked first, you answer me first!"
Xia Yu said: "You ask first, so you should say it first, so as to reflect your sincerity." ”
The man snorted and said, "You dare to play tricks with me? To tell you honestly, I play tricks, even I can't control myself, I play with you for three days and three nights, I don't even need to drink a drop of water, when it comes to lip service, no one in the world is my opponent, you'd better weigh your own ability, the person who should be anxious now is you, not me!"
Xia Yu saw that he was not finished, and he really didn't want to be entangled like this, so he said, "Okay, I'll say it first." Just as he was about to speak, the man interjected again: "This is decent, you can say it!"
Xia Yu said: "We came to Luowei Island to save the Xiling clan besieged by the demon clan!"
After hearing this, the man was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "What did you say?"
Xia Yu was a little annoyed: "What's so funny about this?"
The man said, "Of course it's funny, it's funny, it's funny!"
"What's funny?" Xia Yu said angrily.
The man said: "'Save the Xiling Clan', it's funny here!"
Xia Yu snorted and said, "Do you think there are only so many of us?"
The man also snorted and said, "I don't care how many of you there are, no matter how many people come, and all of them have evolved to the tenth order, you can't save the Xiling clan!"
"Why?"
"Because there are no Xiling tribes on Luowei Island at all!" the man said coldly.
Xia Yu was stunned when he heard this, frowned, and said, "What did you say?"
"There is no Xiling clan!" the man said again.
Xia Yu sneered: "Everyone knows that there is a Xiling clan, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
The man said: "Ten years ago, there was a Xiling clan, if you had come ten years earlier, maybe you could really save the Xiling clan, but now, it is in vain to come and die!"
Xia Yu felt a sigh in his heart, he remembered the strange white bone pit he saw before, and after a while, he asked, "What happened ten years ago?"
The man said: "What else can happen, of course it is killed by the demon clan!"
Xia Yu said slowly: "You mean that the siege of the Xiling Clan by the Demon Clan did not happen a month ago, but ten years ago?"
The man said: "That's right, the current Luowei Island is a demon island, you said that a few of you ran up, are you going to die?"
Xia Yu was silent, if what this person said was true, then the biggest question now was - what is the concubine who claims to be from the Xiling clan?
Is it a youkai?
No, if it was a monster, she wouldn't have the guts to go to Huaxia Shenzhou alone. There are so many capable people on Shenzhou, not to mention others, just the dog Rong and Qianxiang that Xia Yu has seen, can easily see through her true face.
The spirit nose totem of the dog can smell the breath of the monster, and the spirit eye totem of the thousand phases can see through the true appearance of the monster.
So you must be human!
However, since she is a human being, why did she trick them into coming to Luowei Island? She had shown her ability to weave totems in front of Xia Yu and them, so she was indeed a member of the Xiling tribe, so the demon clan on the island was her enemy, so why did she deceive them into her enemy's house? What was her purpose?
Xia Yu thought about it along this line of thought, and found that there were too many doubts, and it didn't make sense anyway, at this time, he suddenly woke up, what if he changed his thinking? When the conclusion seems ridiculous, it often means that the premise is wrong, what is the premise he just had? It is "if what this person said is true"!
Xia Yu's face showed a cold color, secretly urging the Pangu totem, and was about to become bigger, the colorful strange snake seemed to notice something, and suddenly retracted back into the pine needles, Xia Yu was slightly stunned, and the voice behind the pine needles said: "Do you want to do it?!" Without waiting for Xia Yu to react, he saw a shadow fly out, Xia Yu only felt a pain in his throat, and he had been bitten by the strange snake, and suddenly a black gas spread down his throat, like a rapidly growing tree root.
Xia Yu's throat gradually lost consciousness, unspeakably uncomfortable, seeing that the black qi was about to spread to the heart, suddenly the Pangu totem emitted a burst of black light, and the black qi suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and he was afraid to move forward.
The man on the tree couldn't see the situation under Xia Yu's clothes, thinking that he had been completely eroded by the poison and had lost the ability to resist, so he jumped down with confidence, and it turned out to be a dwarf with white hair.
"You want to do it with me, you're still tender!" the dwarf smirked.
"What do you want?"
"How about it, hum, I'm going to teach you what it means to respect the elderly! After learning a little fur, I dare to go up to Luowei Island to show off, when I was young, I couldn't dissipate my anger if I didn't hang you on a tree for ten days and half a month, now I have a lot of old people, and I just have raised everything, but I haven't raised anyone, so you can be my pet!" The dwarf said and grabbed Xia Yu's neck, lifted him up, clamped him around his waist, and jumped into the depths of the woods and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
