Alec, who was excited, was splashed with cold water by Matt and looked at Xiaoyao pleadingly.

"Wait for tomorrow, and rest in the evening." Xiaoyao said.

The location has already been determined, so there is no hurry.

Such a dark and rainy night is indeed not conducive to action, and we will see it during the day.

The cursed city is not to be feared, we have Xia Eleven!

"By the way, what's going on with the radio?" Xiaoyao looked at Matt and asked, "When we tried to contact the outside, we heard wailing. ”

"Did you hear that, too?" Matt's face changed slightly, and then he laughed again, "Then you're finished, you can't do without it." It's the cursed sound of the City of Damned, and anyone who hears it will definitely be left behind and unable to leave. ”

He seems to have some self-destructive tendencies, and his words are quite provocative.

However, the Dream Apostles are a group of people who value profits, and they don't care about Matt's provocations, and ask in detail about the Cursed City.

Matt, as a misguided entrant halfway through, doesn't know much about this cursed city.

He didn't know the origins, the reasons for their formation.

A lot of what I know is just the information left in the diary of the "seniors".

There was no source of the formation of the City of the Damned in those messages, and Matt could not have known.

All he knew was that if he lived in the City of Damned for a long time, he would become a cursed shadow and lose control of his body.

The feeling of hunger will always be there, and no matter what you eat, it will not be filled.

After entering the bottom of the sea, you will continue to be choked "dead" and resurrected.

Other than that, he didn't gain more power, he didn't become stronger, and his actions were similar to ordinary people, or even a little slower.

Cursed Shadow does not drown, nor does it "die a normal death".

However, it will die unnaturally.

It is possible for outsiders to kill the Cursed Shadow, but most outsiders will gradually lose the courage to resist in the face of the Cursed Shadow.

Even a few will go crazy ahead of time and be dragged into the sea by the Shadow of the Damned.

"Then after being with you for a long time, we will also be affected?" Xiaoyao asked, giving Alec one more look.

They're fine, don't worry, the problem is Alec.

"I won't." Matt shook his head, he remained self-aware, but instead did not gradually affect the other outsiders.

Not long after Matt first became the Shadow of the Damned, he and a group of outsiders spent more than a month (night) trying to find a way out.

Although he failed in the end, he was able to prove that Matt would not affect others.

But one thing is that it's hard for outsiders to kill Matt.

Even later, someone is inexplicably obsessed with Matt.

Matt chose to conceal this information.

This group of people is different, and it will be his hope of relief - one way or another.

After understanding the situation, everyone deliberately asked Alec and Matt to keep a certain distance.

Time passed, and Alec, who was tired and hungry, could not hold it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

In order to prevent Alec from catching a cold or something, Xiaoyao and the others also gave him a little qi (internal force).

As the day approaches, Matt becomes more and more agitated, and he is about to return to the cold and dark bottom of the sea, where he continues to endure the torture of being "drowned".

"If you can't get out, kill me."

The sky outside had already appeared a little white, and Matt stopped pacing uneasily and looked at Xia Yanzhen.

"That's how you want to die?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"It's a relief." "If you're as unlucky as I am and haven't gone crazy, you know what it's like." ”

"There's no hurry, if we can't get out, we'll always see you again in the evening." Xia Yan was really unhurried.

Matt seemed to want to say more, but suddenly his face changed and became numb, and he turned and walked to the door, and left mechanically.

"Keep up."

A group of people followed.

Returning to the evil carries Alec, who is still asleep.

Matt left the house and walked step by step in the direction of the sea.

Not far away, there were other Cursed Shadows walking into the sea like them, and they looked much like Matt's.

Dusk eyes, bulging mouths, and fine black-brown scales, as well as dark green and almost black-brown mucus.

There are also things to say differently.

It's that the clothes on these Cursed Shadows are tattered, not as intact as Matt.

In addition to their tattered strips of clothing, the Shadow of the Damned was wrapped in aquatic weeds and inlaid with shells and the like.

The Cursed Shadow ignored Xia Yanzhen and the others on the way back, and walked straight towards the sea.

"Stop and see." Xia Yan really thought about it and said.

Tiamat tried to stop one of them.

The cursed shadow reacted as soon as it was blocked and pounced on Tiamat.

The surrounding cursed shadows continued to walk towards the sea, oblivious to what was happening around them.

Tiamat stepped out of the way, and the Shadow of the Damned gave up after a brief chase, re-heading into the sea.

Return to the sea is the first priority.

One by one, the shadows of the curse walked into the ocean and disappeared.

Xia Yanzhen took out the observation magic mirror and went deep into the sea, and could see the seabed on the shore, and one by one the cursed shadows rooted themselves in the seabed, densely packed, like seaweed, constantly twisting their bodies with the surging waves.

From time to time, large numbers of white bubbles emerge from their mouths and noses.

These bubbles rise, forming bursts of white foam on the shore of the sea, completely obscuring the not-so-deep underwater scene.

The water on this shore is already dirty, mainly black and gray, and exudes a strange smell.

It is definitely not reminiscent of blue sky, golden sand, and clear sea.

Xia Yanzhen adjusted the angle of the observation magic mirror, "Look around", the number of cursed shadows was quite amazing, more than they had seen last night.

These cursed shadows form at the bottom of the ocean that look like corpses, but they are not corpses.

“……”

Xiaoyao and the others were uncomfortable for a while, and they involuntarily looked away.

Even if they feel like they watch it for a while, they will slowly "fall" into this strange scene.

Keen perception reminds them not to keep watching, something will happen.

"It's a weird place." Xiaoyao said.

Xia Yanzhen put away the observation magic mirror: "Let's see if I can go out." ”

"Okay." A few people randomly chose a direction and walked towards that direction.

It was normal at first, but as they walked, as they approached the edge of the town, the expressions of Xiaoyao and the others changed significantly, and their steps became sluggish.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"What's the sound...... Xiaoyao and the others showed a slightly pained expression, "echoing in my ears, very harsh." ”

In the midst of such sounds, their sense of direction gradually lost, and their bodies involuntarily tilted.

"What about you?" Xia Yanzhen looked at Tiamat.

"Yes, but not so severe." Tiamat said.

It also heard those rustling, eerie sounds, and it was hard to describe what they were.

If I had to say anything, it was the sound of the wind, the sound of the waves, the wailing of people, the wailing of people, and the complex sound of various sounds mixed together.

These sounds exceed the limits of what the average human brain can accept.

It makes people confused and don't know where they are.

Just follow the instinct to leave, and return to the town in the absence of a sense of direction.

Xiaoyao and others were affected.

They had a headache, but they could still tell the right direction, but they walked a little crookedly, so they didn't really get stuck here.

As for Alec in his slumber, he was not affected in the slightest.

With Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat leading the way in front, Xiaoyao and the others can still stabilize the direction.

The moment everyone actually stepped out of the town, those weird and strange sounds disappeared suddenly, and the real waves, sea breeze, and seabirds such as seagulls could be heard.

"Hoo ......"

Xiaoyao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and adjusted the state of internal force.

It didn't take long for it to return to normal.

Even if there is no Xia Yanzhen to lead the way and give them time, they can leave this cursed city, but without a stable "signal tower", it is estimated that it will be more difficult.

It wasn't as easy as it is now.

Xiaoyao turned to look at the town behind him, and said thoughtfully, "I feel that this place may be shrouded in special waves. ”

"Waves?"

"It's radio waves or something." Xiaoyao said.

He was thinking about it after the weird noises came over the radio.

"You're saying it's a natural phenomenon?"

It was not Xia Yanzhen who was questioned, but the other members who would never forget.

"No, I just suspect that this particular wave exists, and as for how it came about, who knows." I put on a look like I was just guessing.

"Don't think about these useless things, we should go to Mouth Island." Chan You, a member of the unforgettable list, said.

The two-month task time is not short, but if you really encounter something or a bottleneck, you will find that the time is urgent.

The failure of this mission is obliteration, and there is no room for maneuver.

Oh, Xia Yanzhen still has it, he has a third-order supreme powerhouse badge, which is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, which can offset an obliteration due to mission failure.

Don't forget that there is no such badge.

The thirst for completing the task far exceeds that of Xia Yanzhen.

"Let's go to the beach first......" Xia Yanzhen gestured to Tiamat.

Tiamat soared into the sky, transforming into a dragon in mid-air, skirting the town and approaching the shoreline on the edge of the town from the sea.

It opened its mouth, and fierce dragon breath poured into the water.

The sea was boiling, and a large amount of white mist rose up, forming scorching water vapor.

The Shadow of the Damned at the bottom of the ocean has been destroyed in large numbers, including Matt.

After some wanton destruction, Tiamat flew back to Xia Yanzhen and landed beside them.

"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen came to Tiamat's back first.

Xiaoyao and the others also boarded the dragon's back with a bit of excitement.

Tiamat flapped his wings and flew high.

To be honest, dragon riding is not a fun thing to do.

Tiamat's dragon back is quite broad, and it is no problem for a few people to stay.

But when it really flies, the cold wind from high above can easily blow people around.

There is no seat on the dragon's back, so it can only rely on its own strength to maintain its balance and not be blown down.

After the initial excitement, they had to keep their balance in luck while protecting Alec.

The protection of the guards is very good.

Hopefully, this Alec is worthy of his status as a prince in a fairy tale and can attract a mermaid princess.

After making sure that Xiaoyao and the others could withstand high-speed flight, Tiamat sped up.

Leapfrog ship after ship and fly over island after island.

I also passed by several islands that looked relatively large.

This world, the area currently explored, as Alec put it, is only islands and oceans.

A large number of islands are scattered throughout the vast expanse of the sea.

"It's almost there."

A few hours later, Tiamat approached the island of Mouth on the chart.

The distribution and shape of the surrounding islands are the same as on the charts.

Everyone looked down, and the shape of the mouth island at their feet was quite strange, looking like an irregular circle, and one of them had many "tentacles" extending outward.

"Why does it look like an octopus?" Xiaoyao looked down at Mouth Island.

There is only a part of Mouth Island on the chart, so you can't see the whole picture.

Looking at it now, I see that the island looks like an octopus.

Many long, narrow land sections extend outward, like the tentacles of an octopus.

The irregular part of the original shape is the body of the octopus.

On the "body", you can also see some potholes and gaps.

Like many islands, Mouth Island is inhabited on the edge of the island, and the "tentacles" and gaps that grow are natural harbors around which many port towns have formed.

The boats come and go, and the appearance is quite lively, which is not the same as the uninhabited island that everyone imagines.

Finding a spot where there was no one occupied, Tiamat fell quickly, unnoticed by the others.

A group of people officially set foot on Mouth Island.

At this time, only a day had passed since the mission began.

It was still very bright, and it was still a few hours before nightfall.

It's not inefficient.

After landing, MEmu woke up Alec.

Alec woke up with a dazed face, if he remembered correctly, weren't they in that City of the Damned?

What is this place?

It looks like a wilderness, surrounded by large trees.

"We're leaving the City of the Damned?" Alec, who came to his senses, was pleasantly surprised.

The temporary guards are too reliable.

"Well, it's already at Mouth Island." Xiaoyao said.

"What? Got to Mouth Island? Alec's face was full of surprise.

That's not right, how did he get to Mouth Island after a good night's sleep?

"Don't worry about it, let's go to the town to find a place to settle down first, it's still quite lively here." Xiaoyao used the mindset technique again to convince Alec directly.

Let him be obedient.

"Oh, oh."

Alec nodded involuntarily.

Either way, it's a good thing to be on Mouth Island, and he can look for the legendary merfolk.

Several people walked in the direction of the town.

Mouth Island followed the basic form of the island with high in the middle and low on all sides, and Xia Yanzhen and the others walked on the "mountain road".

For them, the trail is not an obstacle at all.

Even one more Alec would be unimpeded.

After a while, the crowd approached the town, and a paved road appeared in front of them, and not only that, but also saw a railway.

The railway loops around the island, connecting the towns on the Isle of Mouth together to form a single unit.

"That's a lot of people."

Entering the confines of the town and seeing the people on the road, Alec spoke.

They also looked at the crowd around them.

There are railroad tracks, "trains" on Mouth Island, but nothing like a steam locomotive seems to have developed.

The means of transport on the island that you can see are all rickshaws.

There are two types, one is a rickshaw that can seat two or three people, and a "hand-pulled cart" that uses foot power completely.

The other is much larger, the kind of enclosed or semi-enclosed carriage.

But it's not the horses that pull the cart, it's the "bicycle".

The front of the car is a combination of two or more bicycles, ridden by multiple drivers, much faster than a simple "hand-pulled bike".

The former is mainly rented, while the latter is a private vehicle.

Those cyclists are professional "drivers".

In the archipelago world, horses are a very rare and precious species, and only a few islands with a large enough area have horses.

Even Alec's Indian royal family has only a few dozen horses.

These horses are still viewed as exotic pets, and they are rarely ridden by themselves.

Not to mention pulling a cart with a horse.

This kind of extravagant behavior has not been thought of by many royal nobles.

Horseback riding is already a very noble and elegant sport.

"Let's find a place to settle down first...... Xiaoyao said.

After tossing and turning all the way, they were only slightly tired, but Alec actually couldn't hold it anymore and needed to eat well and really rest.

After he finished speaking, seeing that Xia Yanzhen didn't react, he stepped forward and whispered, "Eleven big guys? ”

"Just call me Xia Shiyi." Xia Yanzhen came back to his senses, "Didn't you see it?" ”

"What?" Xiaoyao looked around a little dazedly.

Except for the crowds coming and going, he didn't find anything special.

If I had to say it, there were many people who came and went, and they all wore weapons around their waists, some of them were revolvers, some were iron rods and even daggers, short knives and short swords, and the like.

They are completely above board, suggesting that law and order on Mouth Island may not be so good.

But the words were said by Xia Yanzhen, even if they didn't find anything, it wouldn't affect Xiaoyao and the others to be vigilant.

They looked around.

The free air machine is pulled, and the sword on his back may be unsheathed at any time.

The sudden solemn atmosphere made Alec nervous too, and instinctively hid behind the carefree.

The effects of the Mindset make Alec trust MEmu very much.

Otherwise, he should have hid behind Tiamat, the macho man.

With Tiamat's tall stature, Alec could almost be completely covered.

"What do you see of this person?" Xia Yanzhen didn't sell it, and vaguely pointed to a person, who was squatting on the side of the road, his eyes sweeping over the crowd of people, looking like he was angry.

There was also a dagger hanging from his lap, which looked like a local thug.

"Not young, chestnut curly hair, a little bald, a big and bulging nose, and red." Xiaoyao quickly described the appearance of the gangster, "I guess I drank a lot." ”

"Sure enough, that's right." Xia Yanzhen whispered.

The people he saw were not the same as the descriptions of Xiaoyao.

This man did have chestnut curly hair, but it did not look like a human being, the whole head was dark green, with fine and dense scales, and its appearance was simply a fish head.

It is somewhat similar to the green fish head that has been popular on the Internet for a while.

But to be realistic, you can even see a little mucus flowing out of the gaps in the scales.

"Captain Xia, what did you see?" MEmu changed his name.

He couldn't really be called Xia Yan Zhen Xia Eleven.

"Wait." Xia Yanzhen motioned for Xiaoyao to be restless, and took out the Ghost Shooting DV and the Mirror of Truth from the imprint space.

"Huh?"

After a few seconds, Xia Yanzhen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Whether it is a ghost DV or a real mirror, the people presented look the same as described by Xiaoyao.

The mirror of truth blurred for a moment, and it almost succeeded.

But in the end, what is presented is still the appearance of a normal person.

"This man has a fish head." Xia Yanzhen said, "Neither of my two pieces of equipment can decipher its true appearance, which is a bit interesting. ”

It's not just the gangster, there are many people on the road, and they also look like fish, but the degree is different.

Some people have only a little characteristic, and some people, to a high degree of fishing.

"It seems like something changed for a moment." Xiaoyao took the mirror of reality and looked at it, "This person ......"

"He's coming." Alec said nervously.

Xia Yanzhen and a group of them were standing here, it was still very eye-catching.

Others don't say it, Tiamat stands there like an iron tower.

But the mermaid-headed thug, apparently fearless, came to the crowd step by step, and asked in a condescending tone: "What are you looking at, Outer Islanders?" ”

Outer islanders are the basic name of the archipelago world.

People who are not from this island can be called outsiders, with a slight sense of superiority of "native islanders".

Other derogatory meanings are not significant.

"Ah......h

The language of the Isle of Mouth was different from the languages he knew.

I couldn't even guess what it meant.

The Dream Apostle comes with "Proficiency in Language".

Naturally, there will be no such troubles.

Xia Yanzhen covered his mouth and nose to block the fishy smell that came to his face: "Your local gang is not very polite, you need to teach a lesson." ”

Tiamat behind him showed a sinister smile and stepped forward to make a brazen move.

I've encountered such an obvious mermaid, so I naturally want to catch it and interrogate it.
