I'm not a dog and don't have a keen sense of smell, so I can't rely on scent tracking.
Although those natives have long since disappeared, I still have my own ideas.
In the dense jungle, I walked along traces of bright red and fresh blood.
The blood was left by the great ape. Since the leader of the natives could summon the great ape, perhaps he could follow it to find traces of the natives.
Of course, I'm not entirely sure whether I can really find Fatty Wu and the others by doing this, but it seems that this is the only way available at the moment.
In fact, the road is not as difficult as before, because I have been following the path taken by the big ape, so the big ape has already cut a path in front of me, so it is not that difficult to walk. Too difficult.
I don’t know how long I followed the blood trail, but it was not until I crossed a small river in the mountains that the blood trail stopped.
Almost at the same time when I saw the blood stains stop, I heard a series of slight low roars. Looking for the sound, I actually saw a huge cave not far away. At this moment, the great white-haired ape was inside the cave, looking out. .
Soon, the big ape saw me, and a trace of fear flashed through its eyes again, and it quickly retracted its head into the cave, never to be exposed again.
At this moment, I was only five or six meters away from the cave where the big ape was, and I seemed to have seen the dense pile of bones at the entrance of the cave.
There are animals and humans among them.
"Ho ho ho...!"
A shout came from a distance, and it seemed that the sound was not very far away from me.
I know that the sound was made by the indigenous people. As long as I follow the sound, I should be able to find Fatty Wu and the others soon.
I glanced at the huge cave with cold eyes, and then continued walking in the direction of the sound.
After walking for about ten minutes, I walked out of the jungle and stood on a cliff with a height of 100 feet.
Looking around, there is a seemingly ancient city under the cliff, with high walls and beacon towers around it. The style seems to be a product of the Warring States Period.
I could vaguely see the lights shining in the city, and there seemed to be at least hundreds of natives among them, including three figures that I said were familiar to me. They were Fatty Wu, First Sister, and Chen Guishou.
Seeing that they were still alive, I felt a little more comfortable, but I didn't dare to relax, because this was only temporary. If those natives were really cannibals, Fatty Wu and the three of them could still be killed anytime, anywhere. Lose your life.
I don't know if I can rescue Fatty Wu and the other three from the hands of hundreds of natives. But at the moment, I have no other better way. I can only take it one step at a time, and first get over this cliff. Go up and down and make plans.
Searching along the cliffs, I soon found a relatively less steep slope. There was a path that I thought was trampled on the steep slope, which must have been the only way for the natives to return to the city.
After leaving the cliff, I entered the valley. This place was completely different from where I was before. There were very few trees here. Perhaps they had all been put down and used as fire materials.
Slowly the sky has become slightly brighter.
There was no time to lose, so I galloped all the way, and before long I had arrived in front of the ancient city.
I had observed when we were on the cliff that there were not even a single native outside the ancient city. It seemed that all the natives were concentrated in the ancient city, perhaps waiting to share the three so-called trophies.
The huge ancient city was placed in front of me, and it felt so majestic to me. However, it had obviously withstood thousands of years of sea wind erosion. The originally strong and neat walls were now in ruins and dilapidated.
On the huge city gate, there are three characters engraved in seal script. These three characters are easier to recognize, so I can read them at a glance.
Eternal City!
I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the word "immortality". I remember Chen Guishou once told me personally that this island is not a fairy island at all.
But how to explain this now? Is it possible that Chen Guishou also made mistakes?
At this time, the gate of the ancient city is tightly closed. If you want to enter, the only way is to climb the city wall with bare hands.
Fortunately, this city wall is not too high. It is only ten meters high from top to bottom. In addition, it has been corroded by the sea breeze for thousands of years. There are many places for me to climb, which also greatly gives me the ability to climb. of convenience.
Even so, it still took a lot of effort when I actually climbed to the top of the ancient city wall.
After reaching the top of the city wall, I clung to the bluestone bricks under me and quietly poked my head downwards, just enough to have an unobstructed view of everything in the city.
It was a little far away before and I couldn't see it very clearly. Now that I'm close at hand, I realize how different this ancient city called Changsheng City is from the real ancient city.
This ancient city only built the outer city wall of an ancient city. There are no houses or buildings inside the ancient city. Instead, there are low thatched huts built by the indigenous people.
There is a high platform in the center of the city. A disheveled native with an animal skull on his head is dancing and roaring. He looks like a wizard from this indigenous tribe.
Under the high platform, next to a very huge fire stood three stone pillars. The three of them were tied by vines on the stone pillars.
On the periphery of the fire were hundreds of indigenous people, all of whom stood quietly and looked at the wizard who was shouting and jumping on the high platform.
"Ho ho ho...!"
As the wizard roared loudly, hundreds of natives joined in, and then knelt down in unison, kowtowing endlessly to a strange stone statue on the high platform.
It was a stone statue of a ferocious beast. Although it had also been eroded by the sea breeze, it was still possible to identify what kind of ferocious beast it was through its body shape and appearance.
It looks like a tiger but not a tiger, it looks like a lion but not a lion, it looks like a dragon but not a dragon, it looks like an ox but not an ox.
Suddenly two words popped out of my mind, Qilin!
It is said that immortals and unicorns live on the fairy island. Now I have seen the stone statue of Qilin in the ancient city of this island. Is this really the legendary fairy island?
I was staring blankly at the Kirin statue on the high platform, when I heard the wizard roar again.
This time hundreds of natives stood up again, and three natives who also wore animal skulls walked out from them. They held stone spears in their hands and walked towards Fatty Wu and the three of them respectively. There's that indigenous leader who summoned the great ape!
Faced with such a scene, the first sister had already screamed and lost her voice.
Chen Guishou was quiet, with his eyes slightly closed and his head tilted up against the stone pillar, obviously ready to die.
As for Fatty Wu, he was in sharp contrast to Chen Guishou, who was struggling and roaring at the same time, and even the stone pillar that bound him shook.
"Damn it, the natives are going to start eating people. Xie Dongzi, where did you die? Come and help!"
Fatty Wu was so anxious that he burst into tears. It was obvious that he was really scared.
Things have reached this point. If I don't take action, I'm afraid the three of them will really die here.
As for how to break through the encirclement of hundreds of natives and leave this closed ancient city, it is no longer what I want to consider at the moment.
Seeing that the three natives had stopped in front of the three stone pillars, the spears in their hands were already raised high.
I didn't want to think too much. I just wanted to shout and then jump forward to save people.
boom!
I just opened my mouth and before I could shout out, suddenly a gunshot sounded.
Looking at the fire in the city, the native in front of Chen Guishou actually fell down.
Bang bang!
Two more gunshots rang out, and the other two natives fell down in response.
It wasn't until this moment that I noticed a person standing on the beacon tower opposite. At this moment, he was looking at me with a sinister smile.
"Eldest nephew, my uncle is here to help you, the rest is up to you!"
After saying that, he jumped out of the city from the beacon tower and disappeared.
