Chapter 489: The Lost Islands (5)
Seeing that the tip of the blade was at the tip of the throat and his face was like earth, the leader of the silver helmet did not dare to hide it in the slightest, and said: "For many years, there has been a sea area in the north and north of our Sea Crab Island. Yes, there are even more unlucky, directly the ship is wrecked and people die. It turns out that the area where it is doing the strange is still small, and it is supposed to be its territory. Later, it appeared in various seas, even around Sea Crab Island. Some immortals went to investigate, saying that there was a huge horseshoe crab demon in the sea area, but the horseshoe crab demon was strong and occupied the sea advantage, and the immortals had no choice but to do it. During that time, the surrounding fishing boats were afraid to leave the port, the fishing boats were abandoned, and the fishermen lost their income and changed careers. ”
"Sixteen years ago, General Hou Ruzheng was appointed by His Majesty the Lord of the Immortal Kingdom to serve as the general of the garrison here. He dreamed of a black-armored god at night, telling him that if he wanted to keep the island safe, he had to do two things. First, you are not allowed to enter the territory of the horseshoe crab demon, which can not only protect yourself, but also not anger the fish demon. The second is that the dead on the island are all buried at sea, and the bodies are thrown into the water. If these two things are done, the horseshoe crab demon will not easily leave the territory, and it will also be able to keep the sea crab island safe. ”
General Hou followed the instructions of the Wujia gods and strictly ordered the islanders not to trespass. He also demanded that all islanders be buried at sea after their deaths. Sure enough, except for the original horseshoe crab demon territory, there was no strange thing in the rest of the sea area that it did to hurt and eat people. For this reason, General Hou ordered people to build a sea temple on the island, and according to what he saw in his dream, he set up a statue of the Wujia god and sent troops to guard it. He and the fishermen often went to pay their respects. Especially after the death of the people on the island, they must worship the god of Uggar, and then throw the body of the deceased into the sea. ”
Hearing this, Jin Yan finally understood that the corpses of so many dead people at sea were not deliberately abused by these defenders, but because of customs.
Jin Yan asked the Silver Helmet, "What do you call it?" What position? ”
"Xiaguan's surname is Xu, his name is Ji Ping, and he is the deputy general of the garrison of Sea Crab Island." The silver helmet's whole body was sore, and even the wry smile was deformed, only his speech was still clear.
After all, there is no needle in the head. Scold.
"General Xu, let me ask you something again. How did the revelation of the god of the sea come about? Jin Yan continued to ask. He had to figure out what's going on on the island.
"Ever since, ever since General Hou built that temple and organized worship from time to time, he has received revelations from the god of the sea at some important times. These revelations are in the form of dreams, sometimes predicting storms, sometimes predicting doom, and sometimes predicting the actions of the enemy. For example, this time, it was the sea god who told General Hou in a dream that there was an invasion from the outside world that was going to enter the island to burn and loot. This has happened before, and on several occasions there have been pirates from the south...... We were all able to deploy in advance, defeat the enemy, and save the day. This time too, we basically killed all the invaders who suddenly appeared inside and outside the island......"
Remembering that among the dead were members of the "Heavenly Court" organization, Jin Yan was in a very bad mood.
"Where are the people you killed, the weapons and equipment on your bodies?"
"It's all stored in the camp on the shore." Xu Jiping answered honestly.
At this time, another group of sergeants from the rear heard the sound, and they surrounded Jin Yan in the middle in a semicircle.
"If you don't want your lieutenant to die, get out of here!" Jin Yan shouted.
"Go, go away." Xu Jiping shouted weakly.
The lieutenant was held hostage, the tip of the knife was in the throat, and the sergeants had to retreat.
"Let them bring all the belongings of the dead. Then the bodies of the deceased were recovered. Jin Yan said.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Xu Jiping was shocked, "In that case, it will anger the sea god, and it will also cause the anger of the big horseshoe crab demon!" ”
The sergeants were equally shocked, most of them were natives of Sea Crab Island, and they had grown up listening to stories about the sea god and the great horseshoe crab demon.
"If you don't do it, you will bear my wrath now." Jin Yan said coldly, "I'll kill you first, then kill your underground subordinates, then kill the soldiers in front of me who dare to face me with knives, and finally kill your General Hou." Do you believe it? ”
Listening to his threatening tone, thinking that he and the others were knocked to the ground even if they were not opponents, and then looked at the tip of the knife that was close at hand, Xu Jiping was speechless for a moment. After a while, he gritted his teeth and shouted to his subordinates: "Go! Do what this immortal master wants! ”
The sergeants obeyed the order and gathered more sergeants, and several of them brought over the weapons, equipment and items collected from the deceased, while most of the others went to the sea by boat to retrieve the corpses.
Jin Yan first put a large number of things into the needle box space, and even unceremoniously collected all the weapons and equipment items of all the sergeants on the beach. Xu Huanping even had his silver helmet and armor stripped away.
Fishing up a corpse, as long as you see that the clothes are from Donghua Kingdom, it will also be included in the needle box space. Everyone is from the same world, even in the spirit of humanitarianism, so that the body can return to its hometown after dying in another world.
It took about an hour for the sergeants to use six boats to retrieve all the bodies. Five of the corpses were law enforcement officers of the "Heavenly Court" organization. Not only do they have uniform and equipment, but they also wear a silver name tag around their necks.
Fortunately, the members of the third squad are not among them.
"You, if you do this, you will be retaliated by the sea god!" Xu Jiping gritted his teeth and said.
"I'm curious what kind of sea god it is, and it needs to be sacrificed with human corpses. I wouldn't mind getting acquainted with it if I had the chance. Jin Yan replied coldly.
After doing this, he raised his hand, and the plum blossom needles on all the sergeants seemed to have received orders, and flew back to his palm, slowly floating in a rain of needles. Then it vanished again and was stored in the space of the needle box.
This trick is now very handy.
Strode towards the complex on the shore. In the shore area, there was originally a large group of fishermen and people watching the excitement, and when they saw him approaching, they all dispersed with a bang, just like avoiding the plague god, and they couldn't avoid it. And then there is the appearance of families closing their doors and closing their doors.
Jin Yan: ......
But he will not disturb the people. So I walked slowly along the road on the shore.
It's a town-like place, with houses cut out of various reefs and roofs covered with seaweed. In the yard of each house, fishing nets and fishing gear, as well as dried fish of various types of seafish.
At this time, this small fishing town is frighteningly quiet.
