56 Cracking Ritual
ββ¦β¦ Hell yes! The captain wiped his face hard.
The ship cut through the fog, and Tan Yue silently looked at the identical island in front of themβthe island should have been behind them, not in front of them.
They had been wandering around the periphery of this ghost island for ten hours, from afternoon to evening, and each time they saw through the fog, they saw another ghost island.
"Let's go back." Tan Yue said, "The weirdness of Ghost Island, you should look for clues on Ghost Island." β
So instead of moving forward, the ship made another way through the fog and returned to the strange island.
Tan Yue remembered the boy wolf cub in the cave and decided to climb the mountain again and ask the wolf cub for clues about the island.
The island is still infested with the living dead, and the zombie tide of two years ago has been consumed by the wolf mother, but the remaining living dead and mutated animals and plants are still dangerous. Tan Yue thought of the wolf cub, he had been living in the cave to avoid danger, and the cave was tightly covered by the bones of the wolf mother, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
It was already night, and everyone rested for the night in the house near the shore, and woke up to the birdsong on time the next morning, ready to embark on the journey to find a way to break the game.
The soldiers are still divided into two routes, Guo Pingfan and others from Noah City are in a team, and Tan Yue, Zhou Chenghua and others from the land are in a team. Tan Yue glanced at each other, each thinking the same thing, that is, to go back to find the only survivor on this island, the wolf cub.
The land team set off towards the depths of the forest, but the Noah City team went straight to the ruins of the aborigines of Ghost Island. There is no place where there is a greater chance of finding clues than the community of villagers.
Guo Pingfan and others walked around the village. The village is very large, and it can be seen that it was prosperous and lively during its lifetime, so it is even more embarrassing to face its ruins.
There is indeed an ancestral hall in the village.
Guo Pingfan narrowed his eyes and focused on the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is made of wooden houses, and the color of the wood is dark reddish-brown, and when you get closer, you can smell the strange fragrance emanating from the entire ancestral hall - it is the fragrance of the wood that is the building material of the ancestral hall. Even after experiencing the crisis of the living dead and the end times, this aroma is still not masked by the smell of corpses, which is refreshing.
The ancestral hall is very large, and when you walk in, you can see that there are many tablets in the hall, and the names on them all start with the word "Xu".
There were traces of incense burning on the tables on both sides, and the ashes of the incense fell on the table, and two years later, they were still scattered in pieces.
Guo Pingfan took a closer look at the past and walked into the inner room again.
The inner room is a library pavilion, and surprisingly, even in the hall of the ancestral hall, there are the corpses of the living dead, but the library in the inner room is clean and clean, as if it has never experienced a crisis.
Guo Pingfan called someone in, and the team members from Noah City were all shocked, and then their faces showed joy.
There are books, and there is hope. Maybe the way to break the game is hidden in these books.
Guo Pingfan took people to soak here all day.
The books that can be placed in the ancestral hall naturally have their importance, and the information contained in them is also really useful.
The island has a long history, dating back to the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, the island's inhabitants have lived a self-sufficient and secluded life, and it is a veritable "Taoyuan Island".
The inhabitants of the island boast of noble blood, and each of them has a mysterious power in their blood, which can support them to complete magical rituals such as sacrifices, and also bring many conveniences to their lives. The most powerful person in the bloodline is known as the "Great Wizard" and is responsible for presiding over every ritual. The reason why Ghost Island can disappear from the map is because of such a magical ritual.
If Tan Yue was here, she would guess the truth about the ghost hitting the wall. The 331 incident has taught Ghost Island a painful lesson, and the remaining villagers are likely to perform some kind of ritual in order to prevent the virus from spreading out, and not to let outsiders disturb their ancestors, so that those who enter Ghost Island will never be able to get out, and those outside will not be able to enter.
Tan Yue and his party were able to find the location of the island, which was the credit of Tan Yue's system.
Guo Pingfan also guessed that the ghost hitting the wall was the result of a certain ritual by the villagers, and he shared the news with the team members: "As long as it is a ritual, there is a way to crack it, and I believe that there must be a way to crack it in these books!" Don't give up hope, victory is just around the corner. β
However, he couldn't stop worrying. Some rituals have harsh and complex opening conditions, and with their configuration, even if they find a ritual to crack the ghost wall, they may not be able to successfully complete the cracking ritual.
β¦β¦
There are a total of seven people in the land team, Tan Yue, Zhou Chenghua, Xiao Miao and Qin Heng have been on the mountain before, in addition to Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng's senior sister mind reader, and Director Liang of S City researcher.
They had already been delayed at sea for a week, and Qin Shuye only had three weeks left to wake up. Tan Yue and the others went to sea to find the dream tapir, and in S City, the research institute on land was also constantly looking for ways to stimulate Xie Wan to wake up. Only when Xie Wan woke up could the spell that had been placed on Qin Shuye be withdrawn.
As for what Xie Wan thinks, this is not within everyone's consideration.
Tan Yue used the spider mother to travel on his behalf, carrying a group of people through the forest up the mountain, and arrived at the bones of the wolf mother in the evening of the same day.
The wolf cub is no longer where it was.
Tan Yue was not surprised by this, with his cautious personality and the sense of crisis of long-term survival in the wild, once the residence was discovered, he would definitely have to change places. This is the wisdom of survival, but it's a pity that the wolf mother bought a shelter with her life.
But Tan Yue is sure that he won't go far.
The wolf cub is young, the foot distance is short, and there is a lame wolf cub, how far can it leave in more than a day?
Tan Yue and the others continued to search for him up the mountain, and finally caught the wolf cub and his wolf cub in another cave at noon the next day.
The wolf cub was even more uneasy when he saw that there were three more people this time, squatting in the distance and baring his teeth at them, and the emotions in his eyes were full of hatred and unkindness. In his understanding, it was these outsiders who ruined life on Ghost Island.
Tan Yue squatted down and said like last time: "We have no malice, can we sit down and talk like last time?" β
The wolf cub had no problem with Tan Yue, the person who gave him food, but he didn't like the eyes of the remaining three strangers.
Tan Yue said: "We left the island by boat yesterday, but we couldn't get out. β
She briefly told the wolf cub what had happened to them.
When the wolf cub heard this, his face turned pale, as if he was terrified.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the village, Guo Pingfan finally found a way to crack the ghost wall:
Sacrifice the life of one person who has the power of the bloodline to break this method.
