But before I could hit the opponent, my wrist was directly grabbed by this person. This person reacted very quickly. He turned his wrist and the diving knife in my hand almost came out, and then a familiar voice came.
, "Zhongyi, it's me, what's wrong with you?"
It was Mr. Mai's voice. I looked up and saw that it was indeed him. At this moment, I was covered in cold sweat, as if I had just taken a shower.
My hand holding the knife was shaking a little, "Mao Lao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you, I...I was a little confused." Fortunately, Mai Lao's reaction was quick enough, otherwise I would
This knife must kill him.
I quickly put away the diving knife, slapped my face hard with my hands, and slapped my mouth several times, and I calmed down a little.
This ghost place is so scary. I have experienced so many fucking things. Even when I faced the two female corpses and the stabbing foal, I have never been so timid. But this place is really like what Jiao Ba said.
, full of evil and gloomy energy.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Mr. Mai held my shoulder and tightened it.
Jiao Ba said next to him at this time, "Oh, Mr. Mai, you came at the perfect time. Just now Brother Yi said that he saw a person, he seemed to be some kind of skinny old man, weren't we planning to go find you?
.”
"Skinny old man? Where did you find it?" Mai Lao was also surprised, and his eyes became very serious, as if they were shining with light.
"In the muddy ground ahead, there were only footprints before, but then Brother Yi said he saw a person." Jiao Ba pointed back with his hand.
"Did you see it?" Mai Lao asked him.
Jiao Ba shook his head quickly and said, "No, I didn't see it. I was observing other places at the time."
I looked at Mai Lao and said, "Believe me, Mai Lao, what I said is true. There was indeed a person just now. Do you remember what I told you before? I saw a figure on the top of the mountain? I doubt it."
That old man just now is him."
Mr. Mai glanced at me and then walked forward. Jiao Ba and I followed closely. He walked to the muddy field and squatted down. Jiao Ba handed him a flashlight and he looked carefully.
He looked at it and said, "There are no footprints in this place."
What? There are no footprints? Jiao Ba and I looked at each other and hurriedly knelt down to take a look. But when we saw it, we were both dumbfounded. All the footprints on the mud were gone.
The chaotic footprints just disappeared out of thin air.
"This... this isn't right. The footprints just now are still here." I still don't believe it. The footprints just now are clearly visible, but now they are just a piece of mud with nothing left. What on earth is going on.
"Yes, there are obviously footprints. This is what I discovered first. It's unmistakable. Why did it suddenly disappear?" Jiao Ba stared at the mud and never moved his eyes away.
Mai Lao said calmly, "Are you sure? Didn't you make a mistake?"
"How is it possible to be mistaken? It's okay for one person to be mistaken, but it's impossible for me and Lao Ba to be mistaken." I was a little angry, but he obviously didn't believe us.
Mai Lao hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to be loyal. I didn't doubt you, but I can't find anything now. You said there was someone on the top of the mountain last time. I can't go to the top of the mountain to have a look."
I quickly waved my hand and said, "Come on, Mr. Mai, I'm not going to the top of the mountain. Let's go back quickly. Jenny and the others are still waiting for us to make a fire."
Mai Lao nodded and said, "Yeah, that's fine, we can go back now, but we are still short of water. Being without water is worse than being without food. We should think of a way to see if we can find some water and go back."
Jiao Ba stood up and said, "In a place like this, there should be edible fruits. Let's look for them. We can also use fruits to quench our thirst."
The three of us searched around here. Except for those weird-shaped trees, I didn't find anything edible. I even wanted to give up. Although I was very thirsty, when I thought about that shriveled tree, I couldn't find anything edible.
Skinny old man, I feel uncomfortable all over.
"Mr. Mai, Brother Yi, we've discovered something." Jiao Ba's loud voice suddenly came from nearby.
Mr. Mai and I hurriedly ran over. Jiao Ba was standing under a tree, raising his head and shining his flashlight on it. "Look, there is something on it. I wonder if it can be eaten."
I looked up along the light. Sure enough, there were many fruits hanging on the top of this big tree. But these fruits were very strange. I have never seen such fruits in my whole life. They looked bright red on the outside, but they were very strange.
I can't see the exact shape clearly.
"I'll climb up and get a few down." I pulled out my diving knife and started climbing up the tree.
Jiao Ba stepped forward and grabbed me and said, "Forget it, sworn brother, I'll do it, you're not in good health." After he finished speaking, he started climbing the tree.
Although Jiao Ba's movements were slower and his posture was more ugly, fortunately, Jiao Ba climbed up relatively safely. Jiao Ba was also smart enough. Instead of picking the fruits one by one, he used a knife to directly cut the branches with fruits.
Cut it off.
In this way, the whole branch will fall to the ground with many fruits. I squatted down, picked a fruit and took it in my hand to look at it. This thing is very strange. Except that it is red in appearance, compared with other fruits
, they are simply different. If you want to say something similar, the shape of this fruit is more like a baby face, and it is also a smiling face, which is very interesting to look at.
"Mr. Mai, what kind of fruit is this? I've never seen it before." I said to Mr. Mai while holding the baby-faced fruit.
Mr. Mai also held one in his hand. After looking at it, he said softly, "It looks a bit like a ginseng fruit? But I remember that the ginseng fruit is white. This fruit is so red. It's very strange. I have never seen it before."
Jiao Ba climbed down from the tree at this time, "How is it? Can you eat it?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen anything like this. Come and have a look." I casually threw the thing into Jiao Ba's hand.
Jiao Ba held it in his hand and stared at it for a long time. Ever since he saw the fruit, he had frowned. Now he took out a knife and made a small opening in the middle of the fruit. Once the small opening was opened,
A red liquid flows from the fruit.
"Holy shit, you're actually bleeding?" I said stupidly.
Mr. Mai also looked at Jiao Ba with a puzzled look on his face. Jiao Ba smeared the red liquid with his hand, then put it on the tip of his tongue to try it. He nodded slowly and said, "Well, it's edible, there's no problem."
"
"What... what on earth is this?" I still didn't understand, and he didn't tell me what kind of fruit it was, he just said it was edible.
Jiao Ba looked at me and said, "I can't remember what it is specifically, but I seem to have heard of this kind of thing. It is a food similar to ginseng fruit, but there is still a big difference. Just wait until I remember it.
Let’s talk about it later. Anyway, this thing is edible, so don’t worry.”
"What on earth is that?" I always feel that this fruit is weird.
Jiao Ba said a little impatiently, "Are you annoyed or not? You don't care what it is, as long as you can eat it."
I glared at him and said, "Damn, what if I get poisoned by drinking it?"
Mai Lao said with a smile beside him, "Haha, it shouldn't be possible. Didn't Xiaoba try it just now?"
"That's right, I've already drunk. What are you afraid of? Come on, let's go back quickly. They are still waiting for us." Jiao Ba directly picked up the firewood and walked out.
Mai Lao and I picked these strange fruits, each of us hugged a pile, and followed Jiao Ba's footsteps and walked back...
On the way back, I didn't dare to look around anymore. I was afraid of seeing the old man again. He gave me a feeling not only of unknown mystery, but also of a terrible murderous aura, like a ghost, which made people frightened.
of.
Especially his orange cat eyes. Apart from this color, how could he be exactly the same as the man in black with cat eyes? There was almost no difference. For a moment, I even suspected that he was the man in black with cat eyes.
But judging from his body shape and the unpleasant smell, he is very different from the man in black with cat's eyes. The two are obviously not on the same level. He is skinny and as dry as firewood, but the man in black with cat's eyes is
He is tall and tall, and his body is burly. There is really a huge difference.
Judging from the clothes he wore, he looked like a beggar, especially his messy hair, which made people confused. It was so messy that it looked like a lonely ghost.
Excluding the fact that he is not the man in black with cat's eyes, then who is he? It can't be the legendary savage, right? Could it be that... he has some kind of connection with the man in black with cat's eyes? I can't figure it out, and for the time being I can only
Now that I understand it, I really can't think of a better reason.
I carefully thought over and over what happened just now. Did that shriveled old man live here all the time, or was he like us, in trouble and got here?
Furthermore, why did he follow us all the way? If he wanted to kill me, it would be easy because I could hardly detect his whereabouts. He was so close to me that I couldn't even feel it.
If he really wants to kill me, it would be easy, or does he want to scare me deliberately so that we can retreat? There must be something wrong here. This wizened old man will never appear here for no reason.
In front of me, this was obviously his intention.
What secrets does this weird island hide? There must be some kind of connecting relationship, but I still can’t figure out what it is.
I suddenly felt that it was not a coincidence that we were able to land on this island. It seemed that there was an arrangement somewhere. All these problems would have to be returned to that huge underwater cave. If we had not been sucked into the cave entrance,
There is no way we can come to this desert island...
