Chapter 490: The Lost Islands (6)

Jin Yan walked around the town, and he didn't see the people with the doors open, and he didn't see the sergeants again. Obviously, the sergeants stationed here are also Xu Jiping. The main force of the army attacking the Donghua Alien should have evacuated with the defender Hou Ruzheng.

He unfolded a map, which was searched from Xu Jiping. On the map, the terrain of this crab island is wide in the middle, flat on both sides, and there are many peninsulas, like a sea crab, which must be the origin of the name.

There is a city in the middle of Sea Crab Island called Sea Crab City. The town where I am currently located seems to have heard Liang Xiaohuai mention it just now, called North Point Town.

Centered on Sea Crab City, the island is surrounded by seven small towns, including North Point Town, as well as about 20 large and small fishing ports and fishing villages.

Sea Crab Island is about thirty miles north of the continent where the Narcissus Country is located, and the name of this continent is also very interesting, it has the same name as the Donghua Kingdom of Blue Star, called the Donghua Continent. Of course, this is what Jin Yan has known for a long time. When he first entered the Otherworldly Grassland Village, the people in the village told him the name of the mainland. It was the first time he had heard of this from the country of Narcissus.

Knowing that he was at the southern tip of the Donghua Continent, he suddenly felt relieved. The main thing he has to do now is to find the whereabouts of Bai Zhi and the others, and return to the boundary of the original world.

If there is no accident, the boundary point when you come is a stacked stone, and the return must be the same stacked stone. Just find someone who is well informed and ask around.

The whole town was silent, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he prepared to leave this place and go to Sea Crab City. It's just that when passing through the alley of a remote town, someone suddenly shouted in a low voice: "This way! ”

Jin Yan looked at it fixedly, only to see Liang Xiaohuai waving carefully in the shadows of the alley.

He walked over and said, "What?" Do you have something? ”

Liang Xiaohuai dragged him into the alley, dragged him around another corner, entered a dilapidated house, and closed the door firmly.

"You're so daring! Blatantly kill the defending sergeant! Loot your belongings! Dare to take away all the sacrificial corpses for the god of the sea! Liang Xiaohuai said.

"You're wrong, not all, I won't take away the bodies of those sergeants and the local dead." Jin Yan gave verbal correction.

Liang Xiaohuai was stunned. After a while, he said, "Soon, General Hou will get the news." When the time comes, he will come with the strong and the army, and you will not be able to die with nine lives. I really don't understand, not only do you not hide, but you also swagger on the road. ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Jin Yan smiled, at this time, he could still remind himself of the safety of the locals, which was really good-hearted, "You are also a local, why do you want to help me, an outsider?" ”

"I ......" Liang Xiaohuai's eyelids drooped, "Sea Crab Island is a vast area, I, in fact, as islanders, don't want to be buried at sea after death." We don't want our ancestors and ourselves to die in the place where they were buried, and their bones to be buried in the belly of a fish. The year before last, my father died of illness, watching his body float into the sea, I don't know how many fish, shrimp and crabs will become food, I, I am very uncomfortable. ”

At this, his eyes moistened.

"I see." Jin Yan thought to himself, then, General Hou's move is actually against the will of the people and perverse.

"Isn't this what you did to quell the trouble of the Great Horseshoe Crab Demon? If you want to gain, you have to make sacrifices, and you should accept and approve of it. He asked.

"There is a rumor that has gradually become popular in private in recent years." Liang Xiaohuai said cautiously, "It is rumored that in fact, the big horseshoe crab demon may not be because of the corpse sacrifice so that it does not make trouble outside the territory, but in fact, it is because it is injured and cannot leave the territory too far. ”

"Oh?" Jin Yan's heart moved, "What evidence is there?" ”

"Over the years, there have been many immortals who have come from foreign lands to eradicate this scourge. But no one has succeeded, but presumably some people have at least fought against it. Liang Xiaohuai said, "Since it fought and it hid in the sea later, it is very good that it is not the opponent of the comer." Since he is not an opponent, he must have suffered a loss and was injured. ”

"You're right." Jin Yan also thought of this layer and said with a smile, "Indeed, if it was strong and not injured, it would have devoured all the comers a long time ago, where would it hide in the sea." ”

"My father, I've seen it." Liang Xiaohuai suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "My father usually drives a boat to fish, and he will specially avoid that guy's territory. But one day seven years ago, he suddenly returned home in a panic and told me in great panic that he was at sea, far away, seeing the great horseshoe crab demon devouring the corpses of the dead outside its territory! We, the bodies of the dead in our town, were thrown into the sea, and for some reason, they all flowed along the currents to the vicinity of its territory! And it will also rush out of the territorial sea at any time and devour the corpse! ”

My father was so frightened by this scene that he feared that he would be harmed, so he hurried back to the ship. On his way back, he saw the big horseshoe crab demon chasing after him. Fortunately, two immortals came in a boat and were looking for it, and the two sides fought fiercely. My father was an honest fisherman, and he didn't dare to go back, so he went straight back to the village. No one knows the outcome of the battle between the two immortals and the big horseshoe crab demon, but on the third day, my father fell ill, and he thought that he had angered that guy and would bring misfortune to the entire Sea Crab Town. My father was inexplicably ill and died within a few days. As is customary, his body was thrown into the sea. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Xiaohuai sighed in a sighing tone, and looked up and saw: "Or, his old man's body has already become that guy's food." I, I'm ashamed to be a son of man! ”

I see, no wonder he is willing to take a great risk to help himself hide. It's no wonder that he has such a big grudge against the tradition of sacrifice on the island.

"You're hiding here, there's a cellar in the back room, it's very secretive, and if there's any movement outside, hide in the cellar." Liang Xiaohuai said, "Actually, there is no need, they would never have imagined that after you made such a big noise, you hid near them, and there are islanders who are willing to help you." It's called, dark under the lamp. ”

Jin Yan thought about it for a while, and threw out a gold bar, which was cast by Lu Zhe more than six years ago in order to facilitate the use of the other world, each weighing five taels, and it has been placed in the needle box space and has not been used.

"Thank you for your help, you can accept this gold bar first as a reward."

"No, I don't." Liang Xiaohuai resolutely pushed back, "I help you because I see that you have a good heart and are happy." As soon as you make a move, you will be able to directly defeat the defenders of the town. is so powerful, maybe, maybe, you can say a few words for the people in the town, and ask for justice for General Hou. ”
