Late at night, Skull Island, east end, seaside.
The giant mosquitoes on this island are not the only group that besieges the giant tortoises. They also seem to be divided into territories, each occupying one area, and they are all over the entire island.
However, since the tender meat under the giant turtle's jaw changed color, no matter which group of mosquitoes saw it from a distance, they avoided it and did not dare to provoke it at all.
The speed of the giant turtle seemed slow but was actually very fast. It traveled eastward from its original habitat, covering a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers in a short time, and reached the seaside.
Along the way, the giant turtles held their heads high and crossed the mountains and ridges with steps that they did not recognize their relatives. Not only did the mosquitoes stay away, but other giant beasts also did not dare to provoke them.
Stroll around!
Maybe it's not the largest on the island, but without its fatal vital points, it should be considered the strongest in defense. Rounding it off, it's almost invincible.
The body temperature of this big turtle is very high, roughly estimated to be no less than 50 degrees. At this moment, Du Weiguo is squatting on the scales above its head, pretending to be a tiger.
Obviously, this thing's intelligence is not low at all. He knew that Du Weiguo helped it and did not turn against him.
There is also a possibility that Du Weiguo is simply too lazy to answer. Compared to its huge size, Du Weiguo is too small.
The giant turtle has already reached the seaside, but has no intention of stopping. It is about to enter the sea. Du Weiguo is faced with a choice.
Now he might as well follow the giant turtle into the sea. This thing seems quite smart, and maybe he can be sent out of the fog out of repayment.
Of course, the giant turtle may also directly take Du Weiguo to the bottom of the sea, or take him to an unknown place.
Du Weiguo has another choice, which is to leave the golden thigh of the giant turtle and stay on the island to continue dealing with mosquitoes and other monsters.
"Boom~"
At this moment, after the giant turtle collapsed a sand dune, its front legs were submerged in the sea water. There was no time to think, and a choice must be made now.
"Push to the street!"
Du Weiguo let out a long sigh and threw out the Nine Nether Lock so violently that he hooked a piece of bulging carapace on the back of the giant turtle, and then swung it down from the top of its head.
"Wow~"
When Du Weiguo landed on the beach, half of the giant turtle's body had already been submerged in the sea water. The water level suddenly rose and the waves rolled.
"Moo!"
The giant turtle first plunged its head into the sea and stirred it vigorously for a while, then raised its head to the sky and howled excitedly.
After doing this, the giant turtle did not go away immediately. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Du Weiguo with his huge gray-white eyes.
"Moo~"
After a while, it roared twice towards Du Weiguo, and even shook its head slightly.
This island looks like a big bastard who has become a spirit. Its meaning is not difficult to understand at all. Where the hell are you still grinding? Hurry, I will take you away!
Du Weiguo frowned and thought for a moment, then jumped onto a large rock, waved to the giant turtle, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"You go first! I have something else to do!"
Damn, talking to an animal seems ridiculous, but the giant tortoise seems to understand.
It glanced at Du Weiguo one last time with deep meaning, then turned its head very simply, and soon, its entire body submerged into the sea level.
Several waves rolled by, and the giant turtle's figure was swallowed up by the sea water, completely disappearing, and the sea surface became silent again.
"Damn, my free ferry ticket to leave the island is just gone."
Du Weiguo stood on the reef in a daze, looking at the dark sea water, and muttered in frustration.
After much deliberation, he decided to stay. After all, the variables involved in following this giant turtle into the sea were too great, and he had no way of controlling the situation.
In the end, people have to rely on themselves!
If he made a mistake, the giant turtle would take him to an even more desperate place, or he would be stuck in the fog, unable to move forward or retreat.
When the time comes, there won't even be a piece of land to stay on, and the sky will not respond and the earth will not work, then he will be really useless.
If you continue to stay on the island, although there are many dangers and murderous intentions everywhere, there is still room to move and dodge, right?
In addition, Du Weiguo would continue to hunt down that damn clockmaker Earl, which was the fundamental reason why he finally chose to stay.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
Earl, this thief is sinister and evil, and he doesn't hold back the key. What's more, he has powerful helpers around him, so it is very possible that he is not dead at all.
Du Weiguo always felt uneasy unless he pulled off his dog's head with his own hands or saw his body with his own eyes.
On the other end of the island, close to the coastline, is a cave embedded in the cliff.
At this moment, the entrance of the cave has been blocked by stones and sand, and it is dark inside with no light at all.
"Hu~hu~"
Rapid breathing echoed in the cave. Merlin was sweating and sitting on a stone, naked, using his sword to pick away the blood bags on his body.
He had just dragged the unconscious Earl into the mountain forest and was being chased by a small swarm of mosquitoes. The giant mosquitoes were so ferocious that even with Merlin's superb skills, he still got hit.
The brighter the color of the bug, the more poisonous it is. This is an unchanging truth. The giant mosquito on this island is even more terrifying.
As long as it is touched by their ferocious mouthparts, even if it does not suck much blood, but only slightly breaks the skin, a blood bag as big as an egg will immediately swell up.
Needless to say, there are inevitable body sensations such as pain and itching. The most terrible thing is that the mouthparts of this giant mosquito also contain strong nerve-paralyzing toxins, which are equivalent to a large dose of anesthetics and can make you faint instantly.
As long as an ordinary person is bitten by this giant mosquito, he will completely lose consciousness in about ten seconds and be sucked into the human body.
Merlin's body was covered in more than a dozen hideous blood bites, the largest of which was on his back. It was as big as a steamed bun, and it had to be a solid steamed bun like those from Northeast China.
"Shua~poof!"
In the darkness, Merlin's arm was twisted behind his back as if it were boneless. He swung the sword nimbly and cut off the largest blood bag together with the flesh.
At this point, all the blood packs have been processed. Merlin didn't even say a word during the whole process, but just kept breathing heavily.
Not only that, Merlin's wounds were also healing visibly to the naked eye.
He is the Immortal, the legendary sun god of the Aztecs. He is said to be immortal and has extremely powerful self-healing abilities.
After the wound was completely healed and he rested for a while, Merlin slowly stood up and walked towards the depths of the cave. He stopped soon after and at this moment, Earl was lying on his back in front of him.
Earl was in a very bad situation at the moment. He had broken a leg in the sea and was embarrassed. Later, he was affected by a fierce battle between a giant crab and a big mouse, breaking two ribs and damaging his internal organs.
Then, Earl, who fell into a coma, was roughly dragged along by Iverson and Merlin, avoiding all kinds of predators. After dark, he encountered a swarm of mosquitoes, and he was bitten by more than a dozen terrible mosquitoes. Blood pack.
At this moment, Earl fell into a state of severe coma, his body was frighteningly hot, and he was breathless. Looking at this posture, he probably wouldn't survive until dawn.
Merlin squatted quietly next to Earl, staring at him without blinking for a moment. Even in the darkness, his eyes still shone with an indescribable cold light.
Merlin also has the ability to see at night.
I don’t know how long it took, but a cold light suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Merlin suddenly cut open his left wrist, and then opened Earl's mouth. He muttered something in his mouth, and then poured warm blood into him.
"Hmm~"
Almost the moment the blood entered Earl's mouth, his body temperature miraculously dropped, and he groaned, alive.
Merlin's blood had the effect of the living dead, flesh and bones. After the wound on his wrist healed, Merlin began to silently help Earl deal with the blood bag.
When the last blood bag was removed, Earl had woken up, and the wounds on his body were healing quickly. The first blood bag that was opened had already formed a scab.
Earl also has the ability to heal himself, but the speed of healing is far faster than Merlin.
"Earl, you tried your best to find me. This is your ultimate plan, to obtain the physique of an immortal, right?"
Merlin's faint voice sounded in the darkness. It was not angry, and there was no emotion at all.
"Ahem~"
Earl coughed a few times, then held his ribs and sat up slowly. Although his vision had been greatly improved at the moment, night vision was still beyond his capabilities.
Therefore, Earl couldn't see Merlin and could only roughly judge the direction through the sound.
"Merlin, copying your immortal physique is indeed one of my purposes for finding you, but obtaining it under such circumstances is indeed not my original plan."
Earl's voice was weak and broken, but he didn't deny it, but admitted it very bachelorly.
Merlin's tone was cold, implying murderous intent:
"So, you don't know where Anna Kasuri is at all, right? You just want to get my physique and then use me to deal with the evil god?"
At the end of the sentence, Merlin's voice trembled obviously, as if he was angry or fearful.
Earl shook his head, his voice was very calm:
"No, Merlin, I really didn't lie to you about this. Anna Kasuri's coffin is hidden somewhere on Narn Island, somewhere in the headquarters of the Freemasons."
"Masonic Headquarters? Didn't you become active only in the past few decades? How could you possibly obtain her coffin?"
Merlin spoke in an extremely low voice, just like his mood at the moment, the low pressure before the storm.
With his newly enhanced hearing, Earl seemed to vaguely hear the subtle sound of Merlin's tiger head clenching the handle of the sword.
But Earl's voice was still calm:
"Many years ago, Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, led a team of musketeers and rifled cannons, and drove a seven-year-old ocean-going ship across the sea~~"
This dusty history is a bit long:
Merlin, his companion, Anacassuri, and another companion are all immortals, and they have been the patron saints of the Aztec Empire for generations.
The three patron saints correspond to the God of War, the God of the Sun, and the God of Quetzalcoatl.
They did not come out of thin air, they were selected by the previous generation of immortals to inherit the identity of the immortals.
As for the earliest generation of immortals, their origins cannot be ascertained because they are too old.
After each generation of immortals chooses a successor, they will slowly pass on their abilities to their descendants, and then disappear. This process is usually very long.
During this period, the successor has to go through learning, teaching, assessment, experience, etc., which usually takes decades or even longer.
Merlin and Anacassuri were both the last generation of patron saints of the empire, because the ancient and ignorant Aztecs had long been destroyed by the invaders with strong ships and powerful guns.
Merlin, on the other hand, personally witnessed the destruction of the empire, and he was determined that he would never choose another successor, and that he would completely end the Eternal Ones.
Over the long years, he has long seen through and is tired of seeing human nature's shameful greed and never-ending desires.
In the beginning, the Eternal One was like a god in the empire, possessing supreme rights and obeying the law. From the emperor to the slaves, everyone had to respect and worship him devoutly.
Later, the royal family expanded and was no longer willing to submit to others. There was a bad relationship with the Eternal Ones, and even fierce conflicts broke out.
The end result was a sudden dynastic change, accompanied by the permanent fall of an immortal, and both sides suffered losses.
The royal family still discovered the final secret of the immortals. They are not almighty gods. Although they are not old and can heal themselves from injuries, they will die.
Beheading or burning can completely kill the immortal, but it is extremely difficult to do so.
Later, the Eternals reached an agreement with the royal family. They still enjoyed the highest level of worship and etiquette, but they could only silently protect the empire.
Their existence is still a legend, but it is only a legend. Only the direct descendants of the royal family of all generations can know their existence, and the common people will only regard them as myths.
In Merlin's generation, the situation has become worse and worse. They have been carried away by desire. The royal family, which considers itself wise and powerful, has begun to compare itself with the gods, intentionally or unintentionally.
Not only did he deliberately establish himself as the incarnation of the creator god, he also constantly tampered with history and legends, leading the people to regard the immortals as evil gods.
Merlin and Annakasuri were tired of these intrigues. Seeing the increasingly shameless and ugly faces of this generation of emperors, they were disheartened and planned to leave.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Merlin and Annacasuri were first deceived into separation, and then the vicious king deliberately tricked them into drinking a special witch potion that could make them faint.
Then the king wanted to seal them into a double-layered iron coffin and sink them directly into the sea. Fortunately, Merlin's physique and ability were slightly stronger than Anna Kasuri.
They woke up in time when the coffin was sealed, and after fighting their way out, they ran out of energy and finally failed to stop them from loading Anna Kasuri's coffin onto the sea ship.
Later, when Merlin recovered and rushed back to save people and take revenge, the royal family had already drowned Anakasuri in the sea.
The ship sank together, and all the insiders were silenced. Only the king knew the specific location of the sinking.
The king's request at that time was that if Merlin left the Aztecs forever, he would let Anacassuri sleep in the sea, otherwise he would fish her out and burn her to death, and both the jade and the stone would be destroyed.
The immortal will not die when he drowns, but will only fall into deep sleep. And this king is indeed a powerful character, and he has firmly grasped Merlin's only Achilles' heel.
It was not that Merlin had never tried torture at that time, but the king was also a ruthless man. Both of his legs were crippled and he just bit him to death without saying a word.
Later, Merlin had no choice but to leave alone in sadness.
Later, the Aztecs, which were far behind the world's civilization, were destroyed by the Spanish conquistadors in just half a year using only a few thousand guns.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack among civilizations, a complete crushing!
When Merlin, who was wandering alone in North America, heard the bad news, he hurried back to Aztec, although the war had not yet ignited.
But the royal family has been killed! In other words, the insider who knows where Anna Kasuri sank into the sea is gone!
Merlin, furious, killed nearly a thousand invaders in a few days and raided almost all the camps.
But these vulgar and barbaric invaders, apart from plundering gold and silver treasures, did not collect any writing at all, let alone any words about Anna Sukari.
Merlin didn't care about the life and death of this decadent empire at all. He just wanted to find his partner. After searching to no avail, he resolutely left here.
Later, he crossed the sea to Lisbon alone, and found and interrogated the original invaders one by one, and even found the head of Cortez, who had been promoted to Duke, but still found nothing.
From then on, the desperate Merlin began to wander around Europe aimlessly. Finally, exhausted physically and mentally, he lived in seclusion in the Amazon rainforest.
After telling the long story, Earl took a breath and suddenly changed the subject:
"Eight years ago, the Citi Atlantic Fleet's submarine USS Norris was performing a deep-diving mission in the Gulf of Mexico when its sonar inadvertently detected an unknown metal object."
Merlin frowned and finally spoke, his voice hoarse with a slight tremor: "Gulf of Mexico?"
Earl nodded:
"Yes. Later, after salvage, Anna Sukari's coffin was rediscovered. Four years later, it was acquired by the Freemasons, and I happened to be in charge of this matter at the time."
Merlin's breathing was rapid: "You, have you ever opened that coffin?"
Earl shook his head slowly. Unknowingly, he had taken the initiative and his voice became calmer:
"No, the two layers of the coffin are completely sealed. I'm afraid that opening it rashly will wake her up and launch an indiscriminate attack.
At present, I only had time to study the inscriptions carved on it, and through this information, I found you in reverse. "
Merlin stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something. In the darkness, Earl gently touched his ribs. It didn't feel better, it was still painful.
"So, Merlin, I have inherited your power now? Am I the next Eternal?"
Merlin was silent for a while before speaking, his voice muffled:
"That's right, but inheriting bloodline power is a long process. You only have some superficial abilities now."
Earl touched his broken leg again:
"Merlin, will my leg still heal?"
"Yes, but it will take time and ~click~"
There was a sudden sound of cracking bones, and then Merlin's faint voice came: "Correction." (End of this chapter)
