It is said that "Bai Mei" took Xueting and "Tieshi" to the island, intending to find some supplies, especially the urgently needed fresh water. The three of them carried plastic buckets and guns and walked cautiously through the woods on the island. The ancient and magnificent palace looked even taller when they got closer, and the granite pillars could be clearly seen through the gaps in the tree crown. arrive. The three of them are not in the mood to explore unknown places now. They just want to find supplies quickly so they can search and rescue Ling Hao. They don't want to get involved and cause any trouble.
I walked on tiptoe, not even daring to speak loudly. After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up. There was an open area of several hundred square meters without any trees, not even grass, vines or other plants. It is a quiet and deep pool, as clear as a sapphire embedded in the ground. There are some fallen leaves floating on the water, but when you look at the bottom of the pool, it is deep and dark, and you don't know how deep it is.
The three of them came to the edge of the pool cautiously, and "White Plum" watched the surroundings vigilantly. Perhaps because it was isolated overseas, there were not even a single bird, and the dead silence made people feel a little uneasy.
Xueting scooped up some of the pool water with her hands and tasted it, nodded and whispered: "It is fresh water, and there is no peculiar smell. Although this is a deep pool, it must be living water. There must be underground water veins below. For safety reasons, we It’s better to put some water purification tablets in it, boil it before drinking, and quickly fill it with water.”
"White Plum" and "Tiesh" were overjoyed. To be honest, hunger was bearable. On the sea, they could catch some small fish with the lights on the boat or with nets to feed themselves, but it was absolutely impossible without fresh water. They The few plastic buckets they brought contained enough water for them to last for a week. The two of them pushed aside the fallen leaves from the water and began to fill the water, while Xueting guarded them with a gun.
There was a "click", which seemed to be the sound of a branch breaking. It was not very far away. Although the sound was not loud, it was like a thunder in the ears of Xueting and the others. The three of them stopped their movements at the same time and alertly Look around.
With a rustling sound of fallen leaves, a large group of "coconut crabs" crawled out of the forest. Xueting and the others breathed a sigh of relief. "Coconut crabs" are not uncommon animals, although their pliers are powerful enough to pinch them. Open a coconut, but it will not attack people unless provoked. However, this is the first time I have seen so many "coconut crabs" acting in unison, and it looks spectacular.
"That's not right." "Bai Mei" frowned: "I have never seen coconut crabs crawling so fast. Why do they look like they are running for their lives?" She looked at groups of coconut crabs staggering away from them. They passed by and hurriedly climbed around the pool towards the forest on the opposite side. Sure enough, it seemed as if something was chasing them behind them.
Xueting felt that something was not going well, so she pulled the two of them and planned to run away, but it was already a little late. The branches in the forest were swaying even more fiercely, and a dozen tall figures rushed out quickly, agile and full of power. , they picked up the coconut crabs on the ground and stuffed them into their mouths and chewed them, as if the hard shell of the coconut crabs was as delicious as potato chips.
These guys are no strangers to Xueting and the others. They are the Abyss clan, but they are a little different from those seen at sea. Their shells are as off-white as sea sand, and each of them wears a helmet made of bronze. , perfectly protecting their only weakness. In addition, each monster carries a simple long-handled curved recurved scimitar on its back. The shape is a bit like the ancient Egyptian "Hittite scimitar" but the handle is as long as the ancient Chinese "plain knife". These Although the knife has a metallic luster, you can't tell what kind of material it is made of. It is pitch black, but the cold light on the edge shows that it is as sharp as a modern knife. If the Abyssal clan seen at sea before looked like pure beasts, the ones in front of them were obviously intelligent, and even more like a group of soldiers with standard equipment.
Xueting and the other three ran wildly with buckets in their hands. The soldiers of the Abyss clan easily discovered them. They yelled at each other twice and then chased after them. These guys are as agile as swimming fish in the sea, and they are as strong as antelopes on the shore, and their jumping ability is comparable to that of kangaroos. After a few ups and downs, they caught up with Xueting and the others, took off the big swords on their backs, and planned to chop them.
The three people in front were not easy to mess with. Seeing that they were being overtaken by the latter, they dropped the bucket in their hands and raised their guns. "White Plum" took the lead in firing, with a long burst, and seven or eight bullets accurately nailed the target. Sparks flew from the helmet of the Abyss soldier at the front, but it did not penetrate. However, the force of the bullet was enough to make the guy fall to the ground on his back. Even if his neck was not broken, he would still be dizzy for a while.
Seeing their companions fall to the ground, the soldiers of the Abyss clan behind them let out an angry roar, and they all used their swords to chase after them. Xueting and the others had no choice but to retreat with cover and fire, and ran towards their ship.
It is conceivable that their retreat speed could not be as fast as the Abyss Clan soldiers chasing after them. The 5.56 mm caliber rifle bullets hitting the opponent were like hitting rubber lumps, bouncing everywhere with "bang bang" All, only the sparks flying on the helmet, and the blocking effect is very limited when the opponent is on guard. Xueting cursed, took off a defensive grenade from her strap, picked up the ring with her thumb, and threw it behind her with all her strength. A dull explosion sounded, and a large pile of fallen leaves was blown away. Two Abyss soldiers somersaulted and fell to the ground, letting out an angry howl. The others were also frightened by the power of the grenade and slowed down. The pace of catching up.
"Run away now!" Xueting and the others didn't even care about the buckets and ran like crazy. If they kept running like this, they would be back on the boat in less than 10 minutes.
At this moment, a loud howl of beasts resounded throughout the island, causing the branches and leaves of the trees to rustle. Even the soldiers of the Abyss clan stopped obediently and prostrated on the ground, as if facing the gods. .
Xueting's face suddenly turned pale: "This is indeed the Beihai Dragon Palace. The sound just now was undoubtedly the dragon's roar. We are in big trouble this time!"
"White Plum" and "Iron Wire" didn't look good either. Although they thought Tianlongyi's theory was pure nonsense, even a fool could tell from the beast's roar just now that it was a huge and ferocious beast. If they encountered Come on, let alone the three of them, even the three more are not enough. The only solution for now is to hold back one breath and escape.
A white cloud floated from nowhere in the sky, covering the rising sun that had just risen. The wind began to rise on the island. Sure enough, the dragon was about to appear. When the wind and clouds met, the three of them felt a huge terrifying pressure approaching from behind. , that sense of threat even made them feel suffocated, but none of the three dared to look back. They were afraid that if they took one look, they would lose all the courage to escape, so they could only run wildly and resign themselves to fate.
The woods began to become sparse, and the beach was right in front of them. Xueting had even seen their broken fishing boat. However, there was a strong wind behind their heads, as if a high-speed train was hitting them. The three of them felt at the same time. Yi Liang, it looks like he is dead this time.
"Wait a minute, do it, these are our own people!" A hoarse voice like metal friction suddenly sounded, like a saw blade cutting across the eardrum, making people's scalp numb, but the strong wind behind Xueting and the others' heads suddenly stopped. Stopping, the three of them rolled and crawled to the side of the boat. They were almost exhausted. Only then did they dare to look back at themselves.
I saw a row of more than thirty off-white Abyss Clan soldiers standing neatly on the edge of the woods and the beach. Each of them held a big sword in his hand, like a warrior on the military formation who was ready to charge at any time, unaware of the strong oppression just now. Where does the feeling come from.
"Are you okay?" Ling Hao's voice sounded from the boat, making the three of them stunned. When they looked up, they saw Ling Hao, Tian Yong and Annie all smiling and looking at them from the side of the boat. .
"We are not dead, and we are still alive and well. Are you surprised or surprised?" Tian Yong smiled "hehe" at Xueting. The latter's eyes suddenly filled with mist, and she slapped Tian with a wave of her hand. Yong's face said: "You are a black-hearted and short-lived person. I am blind and want to follow you!"
Everyone laughed awkwardly and didn't know what to say, but only then did Xueting and the others see a figure as big as a Transformer walking onto the shore from behind the fishing boat. The fierce aura immediately frightened them. .
However, this huge monster didn't even look at them. Instead, he shouted into the woods: "Tayao, your father is here to see you. Would you like to come out and see you?" The voice was hoarse like metal friction. Compared with it, Shui Lingxing's Smoking and drinking, my voice is like the sounds of nature. It turned out that it was this monster who had just spoken out to save the lives of three people.
"Don't get too close. Hundreds of years ago when I was almost given away as a political gift, I no longer had a father. You have to leave within ten breaths with all the living and dead things related to you, otherwise they will all turn into pieces." !" A female voice as clear and sweet as a copper bell sounded from the forest, but it was so cold that there was no warmth at all.
"My child, it was my father who couldn't forgive you at the beginning, but for the continuation of the Abyss clan, I have no choice. We won't talk about the past. Can you come out and let your father see you?" The monster is like an old man. He was pleading like a father, but the ferocious aura at the beginning was completely gone.
Xueting and the others blinked and looked at Ling Hao with question marks on their faces: "What is going on? What kind of drama is this?"
Ling Hao smiled and whispered to them: "This is King Tumi, the leader of the Abyss clan. This clan has some connections with my ancestors, so they should be considered 'one of our own'." Ling Hao explained, it turns out that the five A hundred years ago, Huxie emerged from the Abyss clan and fought against King Tumi, causing a split. Although his personal strength was not as strong as King Tumi, he had a large group of young supporters. King Tumi is getting older day by day, but Huxie is a young man. If things go on like this, the balance of victory and defeat will naturally tilt towards Huxie's side. King Tumi could also choose to put down the rebellion immediately regardless of the cost. However, he could not bear to see the Abyss clan disappear due to large-scale cannibalism. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the throne, but he knew that according to Huxie's idea, after unifying the Abyss clan, he would If they want to declare war on mankind, although the Abyssal Clan is fierce, their technology is low and their numbers are sparse. How can they be mankind's opponents? In order not to destroy his family, he had to use some less honorable methods.
King Tumi knew that Huxie was very fond of his only daughter Tuyao. The girl's mother was from the snake tribe. It was extremely difficult for different races to produce offspring through intermarriage. However, Tuyao was miraculously born, even though her mother died of dystocia. , but Tayao inherited her beauty. Compared with the ugly Abyss clan, she was simply an angel-like existence. King Tumi regarded her as the apple of his eye and loved her since childhood. However, for the continuation of the race, he had to agree to Tu Yao married Hu Xie and wanted to take advantage of the wedding to get close to Hu Xie and kill him, thus eliminating the ethnic division.
Although the plan is good, how can Tu Yao agree to marry the cruel and rude Huxie? Originally she hated him extremely, but now her father asked her to marry this guy. She begged hard, but her father seemed to have a heart of stone and showed no intention of wavering. The little girl was desperate and had thoughts of death.
There is a small island above the Abyss Clan city, and there is a temple built by someone at an unknown time. This temple already existed when the Abyss Clan came to this space. They are naturally very curious about this place. But all the people who went to the island to explore never returned. Various rumors were flying all over the sky. Some even said that this was the residence of gods. Those chosen by them would become apostles of gods and possess powerful power. Those who were not selected would become the apostles of gods. Will be mercilessly killed by God. Gradually, this island has become a taboo place for the Abyss clan.
On a rainy night, Tu Yao escaped from the city alone and came to the island, planning to break into the temple to find out. If the rumors were true and she was chosen by the gods, then she would be able to control her own destiny by becoming an apostle of the gods and possessing powerful power. , if she was not chosen by God, it would not matter if she was killed. Anyway, it would be better for her to die to marry Huxie.
Tu Yao entered the temple smoothly. There was a dazzling energy bead suspended in the main hall of the temple, as big as a baby's fist. For some reason, Tu Yao felt an inexplicable hunger after seeing it. Then there was an uncontrollable appetite, so he swallowed the beads. This was terrible. The violent and strange energy caused huge changes in Tu Yao's body, and also caused extreme pain. She escaped from the temple, wreaked havoc on the island, and finally passed out on the shore. King Tumi learned that his daughter had escaped from marriage, and went all the way to the island to bring back the comatose Tuyao. When Tuyao woke up, she found that she had become ugly. Although her power was shocking, for a girl, The original beautiful appearance was ruined, and the inner stimulation was self-evident.
Tu Yao fought her way out of the Abyss Clan's city and returned to the island. This became her territory. Hundreds of her former bodyguards also followed her to the island. From now on, no one else can approach the island. , otherwise you will die. Even when the desperate Huxie came once, he was almost crippled by Tu Yao. Over the years, Tu Yao must have a deeper understanding of the temple. I wonder what she fed her subordinates to make those ordinary Abyss clan become what they are now. What is certain is that she has been looking for a way to balance the strange energy in her body, and wants to restore her previous appearance while retaining her strength. However, the residence of the gods does not belong to her after all. Presumably the temple did not show her all the power. Secret, otherwise she wouldn't have to stay here all the time.
Anyway, Tu Yao hates the Abyss Clan. She hates both factions on the bottom of the sea. Over the years, she has killed countless Abyss Clan members who intentionally or unintentionally broke into the island. Knowing that Ling Hao's people strayed into the island by mistake, King Tumi quickly led him to rescue them, telling Ling Hao everything that had happened on the way. Fortunately, he was in time and saved the lives of Xueting and the other three.
Ling Hao and the three of them whispered, and there was a rustle in the woods. A snow-white giant suddenly emerged from the forest. Ling Hao and the others were stunned. After half a minute, he cleared his dry throat. He asked King Tumi, "Is this your daughter Tayao?"
