Chapter 255: A Living Thing?
Three watches in the middle of the night.
A small boat loaded with a large amount of fishing gear sent by the sergeant to curry favor with the three of them set off for Daze.
The fish basket sways gently in the river breeze.
Ke Wenbin rocked the oar, Xiang Fangsu stared at the map, and Liang Qu held the compass.
There are waves on all sides above Osawa, there are no terrain markers, and it is really easy to get lost without a compass.
When the boat was completely invisible behind him, the boat immediately turned around and made a long arc.
After going out for three quarters of an hour, the three of them re-entered the island, carefully avoiding the eyeliner of the surrounding guards, and touched all the way to the vicinity of the island chain.
"Get off the boat, let's dive over."
The island chain is full of scouts, and the ship targets are too large to be easily detected by scouts.
The trio found a small island nearby, dragged the boat ashore, covered it with bushes, and hid it in the woods.
Fireflies scatter around the bushes, and the annoying chirping of cicadas during the day is the best cover at the moment.
After finishing their hands, the three of them took their respective things and dived one after another, touching the island chain under the cover of night.
The finless porpoises patrolling underneath noticed the abnormal flow and moved closer.
Xiang Fangsu took out the token from his arms and infused it with qi and blood.
The token emitted invisible fluctuations, and several finless porpoises were no longer entangled, and they scattered separately.
Ke Wenbin patted the head of the finless porpoise, and at some point caught a big silver carp, fed it to the finless porpoise, and followed the two in front of him.
When we arrived in the nearby waters, a faint black smoke drifted through the water, and countless small fish floated on the surface of the water with white bellies, all shriveled.
Obviously soaking in the water, they are like smoked fish on the shore that have been dried in the air, as if they will crumble into crumbs when they are pinched.
Xiang Fangsu didn't dare to move forward, and took a step back to make way for his position.
Liang Qu succeeded Xiang Fangsu as the leader, urging qi and blood, and a faint golden mang's body escaped.
The black gas was like snow melted by hot urine, melting on both sides, emitting a transparent channel.
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin followed closely behind, looking at the black smoke that closed again behind them, and grasped the distance to ensure that they would not be contaminated with black smoke.
By the time they reached the island, more than half an hour had passed since they set out.
"Again, don't act separately, we don't know if there is a situation on the island, if there is an abnormality, whether it is a delusion or not, we will talk about it, and if you find it, don't leave the team by yourself."
Xiang Fangsu reminded.
The evil intention of resurrection still lingered in their hearts, and they had discussed it before they set off, but now it was only a matter of re-mentioning it.
"Unswervingly follow Ah Shui's side! I didn't dare to leave. ”
Ke Wenbin spoke loudly.
Just kidding, the black gas on the island is more serious than underwater, and the radiation range of Liang Qu is only two or three meters around his body, and he can't leave if he wants to.
Xiang Fangsu nodded, and the three of them quickly rushed to the center of the island with Liang Qu as the center of gravity.
Cicadas chirp incessantly outside, but silence is silent inside.
Snake corpses, rat corpses, ants, centipedes, and horses all crawled out of the dirt and froze to the ground.
When you step on it, it will shriveled and crumble, and it will be scattered with the wind of the river, turning into ashes, and it will be buried deep in the desert.
Looking at the plants again, they are all dead branches and broken leaves, a small part of them are burned to death, and most of them are contaminated by black gas, draining their vitality.
A few trees grew tall, the lower half was submerged in black smoke, dry and rotten, and the upper part was intact and verdant, with a very contrasting eerie feeling.
Xiang Fangsu approached the tree, and as soon as his fingernails were scraped, the bark of the entire giant tree fell, the trunk of the tree quickly cracked, and the fine cracks continued to spread along the main body, and came to an abrupt end at the junction of life and death.
It was as if if if he moved again, the whole tree would fall, and the balance at the moment was just an illusion.
Xiang Fangsu didn't dare to move again, and continued to move deeper behind Liang Qu, and soon saw several houses.
The Ghost Mother Cult has many buildings on the island, not ordinary temples or compounds, most of which are mud houses made of rammed earth.
In form, it is not much better than ordinary people, but it is more regular and wide, like a barracks.
When you come to the neighborhood, there are more signs of destruction around you.
Most of the trees had sword marks on them, and the ground was littered with corpses, and blood that had not yet dried was spilled on the mud floor, and there were red and black spots everywhere.
There were many bird corpses around those corpses, shriveled but intact, with no signs of trauma.
Liang Qu suspected that the birds were trying to grab food, and rushed into the black smoke only to find that he could no longer fly.
He walked into a large earthen house, and there was no valuable porcelain and Nanmu furniture.
As far as the eye can see, there are clay pots, wooden basins, and furniture made of birch, pine, red almond and other cheap woods.
"What's the picture?"
Ke Wenbin felt extremely shabby, he couldn't imagine living in such a dilapidated home for several years.
To take a bath, you have to chop wood to boil hot water, and halfway through the bath, the water temperature is not enough to go out naked and boil another pot.
"Figure can live your life one day."
Xiang Fangsu ended the chat with one sentence.
Ke Wenbin was bored, he thought about it carefully, this is really the truth.
The purpose of the Ghost Mother Sect is to overthrow Dashun and restore the glory of the past, isn't it trying to live their lives one day?
The contents of the surrounding houses are almost the same, and there is nothing to explore.
Most of the real treasure troves were near the Grandmaster's residence, and they hurriedly rummaged through them for a while before heading deeper again.
The closer you get to the cliff in the center of the island chain, the more terrifying the staggered traces of engagement become.
The knife marks hundreds of meters in width are clearly visible, and it is hard to imagine that this is something that people can do.
When they approached the cliff where Xu Yuelong and the others jumped, a more "gorgeous" compound appeared in front of everyone.
said that it was gorgeous, Liang Qu felt that it was just about the same level as his previous second hospital.
Thinking about the places where great martial artists and even grandmaster-level figures lived the same as before, you can know how shabby their lives are.
"Let's go in and take a look?"
Ke Wenbin gave advice.
"Wait!"
Liang Qu stopped the two.
The two of them tensed their muscles and looked around from side to side.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a voice, it's not right!"
Sound?
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin frowned, and tried their best to let go of their ears.
There was silence all around, and there was no special sound.
Their strength is much higher than Liang Qu, why can Liang Qu hear it, but the two of them don't hear it?
But the two didn't suspect it, they just buried their confusion, pulled out their weapons and leaned towards Liang Qu.
The trio defended in a triangular stance from all sides, ensuring that no gaps were missed.
"Ah Shui, what did you hear?"
Liang Qu pointed to the rocks rising from the ground, which were stained with large chunks of dirt that had been exposed to the air and were gradually drying up and yellowing.
"Those rocks were turned up two hours ago!"
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin were dumbfounded: "How do you know?" ”
"I heard that."
The different moisture content of wet soil and dry soil results in very different sounds, and this is the message given by the two stones.
Hear it?
You just say that it's more reliable to see than to hear!
The two of them thought it was strange, but soon realized that something was wrong.
Two hours!?
There are other living people on the island!
No, is it really a living person?
It has been twelve hours since the battle last night, and even a great martial artist can't stay for so long!
Either the middle of the island, or the ......
The three of them looked at the courtyard again, shuddering, only to feel that it was indescribably weird.
The stone slabs in front of the compound were empty, the shade of the trees rubbed, and the sporadic moonlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and cast onto the ground, glowing with a layer of gray light.
Surrounded by islands, the river breeze has become extremely small and the leaves are almost stationary.
But under Liang Qu's prompting, the three of them carefully discerned, and finally found that something in the shade of the tree was shaking gently, and it suddenly broke away from the shadow range of the leaves, which seemed to be ...... A figure?
The three of them all saw and confirmed all of them, but none of them dared to move.
They constricted the breath of their whole body to the extreme, for fear of being discovered by something in the yard.
Separated by a wall, the three of them watched as the dark shadow moved slowly, moving from east to west and back from west.
Sluggish, sluggish.
Something on the other side of the wall didn't seem to notice anyone coming outside the door.
