The cold and wet corrosive sea breeze blows in the face.
The people who left the oppressive and warm cave gathered on the broad and cold broken mountain.
Hmm... and there was Mu Su who was dragging the hemp rope with a groan, and the hemp rope was dragging the raft, with two corpses on the raft.
The mud that had been spilled there had not yet dried up, emitting a fishy smell that was stronger than the sea breeze, as if it came from the deepest mud on the seabed.
After completing the inspection, Qianye heard the sound of dragging and looked at the helpless player following him.
"Musu came forward and threatened us if I didn't let him..."
Qianye nodded lightly and said nothing. Anyway, it was a game and there was no need to take care of the corpses of his companions. Let Mu Su play with them.
"But we have to keep an eye on it to prevent Mu Su from using the body to sacrifice."
Wang Wen Wen Che added that this kind of thing has happened before - in the last round of the championship.
The crowd approached the north coast along the gentle slope.
Compared with the half cave that can be seen in the distance, the viewing distance of the coast is much inferior. But that's not why they came here.
The crowd dispersed, and Qianye approached the second mud mark. The same strong sea smell came out. I don't know if it was the monster itself or the smell carried by the mud.
Unfortunately, the environment was unfamiliar and Qianye, who lacked reference objects, was unable to determine the source of the silt.
The only remaining clues are the footprints found along the silt on the rough gray-brown sand that have not been erased by the tide licking the beach.
It's like a shell, but more slender, flat and lacks texture. There is only one pair of footprints, which means there is only one.
"Hmm...it is indeed a flipper, an amphibious creature that can briefly come to land?"
Wang Wenwen was lost in thought, and followed Qianye, who was following his footsteps, closer to the coastline, until the sea wind and dampness hit his face.
Qianye turned around and saw that the traces of flippers extending from the sea were heading straight towards Broken Mountain, indicating that it had a clear purpose - to reach Broken Mountain, or the players in Broken Mountain.
If it swims straight in the sea... Qianye looked at the sea and saw that it was northeast of the initial island, while the Broken Island was due north.
Although the source of the disturbing sacrifice has not been traced, the good news is that it does not come from other unexplored islands and will not affect the players' subsequent actions.
Players drilled into the dry forest, cut down wood to make rafts, and prepared to explore the second island. However, the players soon discovered that the bottomless water might be shallower than imagined.
Several players stood on the sea dozens of meters offshore. The water was so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom and the water was up to their knees.
The Broken Islands were obviously once one, and the islands below sea level formed shoals like inland seas, which seemed to be able to flow through.
It just makes people wonder, there is only half of Broken Mountain, where did the other half go?
The second island is about two miles away from the initial island. Before the players went deeper, Qianye called them back and explored the way with a branch.
At the same time, they continued to cut down trees. If the road was not accessible on foot, they could still cross it by raft.
"Do you want to go to the second island? But our main mission hasn't been completed yet."
[The main mission has been updated]
After Wang Wen Wen Che finished speaking, the system prompts appeared in front of his eyes.
[Main mission: Pioneer]
Explore the first island (completed)
Find biomes to communicate with (work in progress)
Content: Your actions symbolize your choices. Rather than swallowing up tragic nightmares with unwarranted kindness and succumbing to the threat of sacrifice from weird tribes, you prefer equal exchange - remember the choice you make at this moment. It will forever change your future path.
The new main line appears because the content has no beginning or end.
"Where did Mu Su go?" Qianye suddenly woke up and looked for Mu Su, whom he hadn't seen for a long time: "Has anyone seen him?"
Because the body also disappeared...
Soon some players said that Mu Su dragged the body into the woods, and Peter Parker followed.
Qianye contacted Peter Parker and received information: Two corpses were buried in the eyeball sea by Mu Su to be used as fertilizer.
Contacting the main mission that happened to be updated, she pieced together the truth.
There are three conditions for completing the main mission "Exploring the First Island". One is to supply cave stone nightmares, one is to contact the amphibious existence that arrived last night, and the last one is to make a deal with the Eyeball Sea.
"Is it good or bad?" Tianmo asked.
"I think... it should be a good route." Qianye answered hesitantly.
After all, in the main content, the other two conditions are filled with some disturbing malice. And the exchange of equal value is relatively equal. Just because the trigger was Mu Su, Qianye subconsciously speculated and hesitated.
Peter Parker sent back the news that Mu Su was returning. While waiting, the players who were walking deep into the sea began to retreat.
There was only one mile left from the second island, but the water depth had already reached their chests, and the shallow waves from the deep sea knocked them down several times. Because the players could not float in the Dead Sea, they had to return the way they came.
At this time, the bouncing shepherd emerged from the depths and hid behind the tree for a short time. When he reappeared, he resumed his calm pace with a pipe in his mouth.
Wherever Mu Su passed, the players who were logging stopped, and the players who were tying the raft stared blankly.
"How did you do it?" Qianye asked.
"This is the reasoning of the famous detective Mu Su." A hoarse and deep voice sounded.
But everyone knows that it was just a coincidence that Mu Su triggered the main plot - he simply wanted to use the two corpses as fertilizer.
***Snapped--
"Wow - what a great reasoning - how did you do it -" Sakura cheered stiffly and clapped her hands stiffly.
Musu whispered nonchalantly: "As Seventeen...Seventeen...what's your name? Yes, the famous detective of the Seventeen Ghost Detective Agency, this is just a trivial reasoning."
The smile gradually fades.
Oh! When Shi Qi saw me taking the initiative to promote the detective agency, he would be so moved that he threw himself into his arms and groaned. Then I took advantage of the situation and moved his hands up and down to hug the monkey and steal the peaches... Huh?
Qianye and Wangwenwenqie soon learned the truth of the matter through probing: Mu Su took the body to the Eyeball Sea and buried it in the flower garden. The owner of the Eyeball Sea, who was grateful for Mu Su's behavior, gave Mu Su two eyeballs, triggering an update to the main quest.
"Can you show me your eyes?"
Musu's response was to throw the two wooden boxes containing the eyeballs to Qianye: "Here you go."
"……Thanks."
"Anyway, I've eaten enough." Mu Su patted his belly and walked to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.
Mu Su looked into the distance quietly, as if reminiscing about something, and his temperament quietly changed.
At a certain moment, Yue Wei came to Mu Su and gently brushed the hair beside his ear: "If you feel sad, just tell your troubles to the sea."
"Isn't this bad~"
Mu Su broke away from the memories and twisted her fingers around the corners of her clothes.
"Believe me, this will work. The sea will take away your worries." The artistic Yue Wei smiled.
Mu Susu nodded, pushed away a few players chatting on the beach, and walked to the beach with their surprised eyes. Facing the sea, he took a deep breath and shouted: "Humph, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
