This small island is not big. Everyone walked along the beach and returned to the starting point. The whole process did not take more than twenty minutes.
They saw an old fishing boat in the middle of the road. It was stained with rust. It must have been unused for a long time and had no one to maintain it.
"Is the owner of this boat the same person as the owner of the stone house?" Zhang Feng looked at the stone house on the hillside and asked curiously.
Zhang Ze nodded: "There is nothing here except this stone house. The fishing boat should be his."
He looked at the giant god and said: "Boss giant god, there is nothing on this island worthy of our attention. Only the stone house is left. Let's go and take a look."
The giant god nodded: "I think the same as you, let's go together, but be careful."
So, everyone approached the stone house cautiously. They saw a lot of domestic garbage piled up outside the stone house, exuding a foul smell. They began to wonder whether the owner of the stone house was still alive.
"People won't die in it, right?" Tian Tianmei asked worriedly, "There is nothing on this island, and you can't eat the fish in the sea. How can people survive?"
He moved the knife and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, there are no people here at all, I suspect it is a monster!"
His speculation is also reasonable. The living environment of this island is not suitable for humans at all.
However, this world has been polluted, and no matter where it is, it is not suitable for survival.
The Dragon King immediately showed his weapon and said: "If it is a monster, then I will kill it directly!"
"Don't worry yet!" Zhang Ze waved his hand: "We have to figure out where the stone door and the key are. Otherwise, where should we look for them?"
Surrounded by the vast sea, even if Zhang Ze takes everyone on the Dark Dragon King to go out to sea to search, it is still uncertain whether they can find anyone.
Besides, there must be a reason why this level of the Demon Realm starts on a small island. This is the hint given by the designers of the Demon Realm to the adventurers, telling them that the clues are on this island.
The stone house is the only building on the island, so its importance is self-evident.
"Let's go into the stone house to find someone." Liu Yueying walked over first. She was much calmer than the Dragon King, and everyone felt more at ease.
Knocking lightly on the broken iron door, Liu Yueying shouted: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"
"Who's out there?"
An old voice came from the room, it was an old man.
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little relieved, as long as they weren't monsters.
Because people can communicate, monsters probably have no choice but to take action.
Liu Yueying immediately said: "Hello, uncle, we are travelers passing by and want to ask you about something. Can we come in?"
"Why do you strangers want to enter my house? Don't come in. I'll go out and talk to you!"
The old man's tone was very aggressive, as if someone owed him a large sum of money, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
So everyone backed away, and after waiting for a while, the iron door was opened, and an old man in a wheelchair with a shotgun in his hand came out, scanning Zhang Ze and others with vigilant eyes.
There are only a few strands of white hair left on his head, his face is haggard, and his skin is covered with large and small red patches. He looks like he is over eighty years old, but he is in good spirits.
"Who are you? Where do you come from?"
The old man glanced at the beach and saw no ships. He also saw that Zhang Ze and others were dressed strangely. He suddenly felt suspicious. He couldn't help but clenched the shotgun in his hand. Judging from his posture, he was about to fire at any time.
The giant god told the truth: "Uncle, we are not from this world, but travelers from another world. I know this is incredible, but I didn't lie to you."
I originally thought I would have to explain a few more words to make the old man understand, but who knows, the old man nodded: "I have known for a long time that you are not from this world!"
Everyone was stunned, and the little princess Qian couldn't help but ask: "How did you know?"
"Because I am the only one left in this world!" The old man's voice was a little low, and he sighed: "You have also seen what the sea looks like? It has been completely polluted, and no living thing can survive. Everything is ruined. died!"
"Forget it, what's the point of talking to you outsiders?" The old man shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention those sad past events. He looked up at Zhang Ze and others and asked, "What are you doing here? This place has already been nothing left."
Zhang Ze said: "We are here to find a stone door and its key. Old sir, have you seen it?"
"Shimen?" The old man pondered for a moment, then shouted: "I remembered, it turns out it is the Shimen you are looking for!"
Everyone was confused, and the old man explained: "In the depths of the sea, there is a huge stone door. It has existed a long time ago. At that time, the world was not polluted, until the monster came..."
The Dragon King interrupted the old man: "Then can you take us there? By the way, do you know where the key is?"
Yiye Zhiqiu poked the Dragon King and told him not to interrupt others, it was impolite.
Sure enough, the old man was unhappy. His old face sank and he said angrily: "I don't know! You can go find it yourself!"
After saying that, he rolled his wheelchair and returned to his stone house.
Everyone stared at the Dragon King, who curled his lips and said, "I didn't know this old man had such a bad temper!"
The giant god hurriedly went up to explain: "Uncle, don't be the same as him. We will not let your efforts go in vain. If you have any requests, just ask them and we will try our best to satisfy you."
The old man stopped, thought for a while and asked, "Can you really meet my request?"
"We will try our best!" The giant god nodded.
"Okay!" The old man turned around and said, "Then you go and help me collect five ingredients. I haven't had a decent meal in a long time."
Everyone looked at each other, and Yiye Zhiqiu nodded and said: "Okay, please tell me, what ingredients to collect and where to collect them?"
"You guys wait a minute."
The old man returned to the stone house. After a while, he took out a piece of paper with Chinese characters written on it. Zhang Ze and others were surprised that the old man could actually write Chinese characters.
"This is my mother tongue, of course I can write it!" the old man said proudly: "It is the most beautiful writing in our world!"
Taking the paper, everyone came forward to look at it, and saw that there were five recipes on it, each requiring five ingredients.
Below is a map hand-drawn by the old man. It seems to be the sea. There are five locations in it, corresponding to the five ingredients.
The five ingredients are: the brain of the rubber monkey, the paws of the iron bear, the legs of the explosive bug, the gallbladder of the thunder snake and the wings of the three-headed bird.
"What does this map mean, let's go to these five places to collect five kinds of ingredients?" Xiaoniaoyiren asked, looking at the content on the paper.
The old man nodded: "Yes, you can take my fishing boat out to sea and go to these five locations to collect ingredients, but I want to remind you that these creatures have mutated and are very dangerous. If something happens to you, I won't care!"
