The cold wind howled, and the clear ringing of bells rang in the woods. Wu Shiyu strode past, and none of the frogs or flying insects could get close.
After leaving the woods, she saw more strange sights. The blue sea surface was blood red and turned into a sea of blood.
A storm condensed in the overcast sky, rough waves arose on the Blood Sea, and several small boats tied with ropes to the shore were teetering on the verge of capsizing.
Wu Shiyu walked down the mountain steps. The ancestors who followed him wanted to gossip but were also very scared. They hesitated at the edge of the woods whether to follow him or not.
In the end, some Zuge followed. They felt that although it was dangerous, Wu Shiyu had the help of the evil cat Wusa, and wherever he went now, flying insects died in large numbers, so it was worth the risk to follow him and have a look.
Wu Shiyu quickly walked up the not-so-long mountain steps and arrived at the coast. Apart from those flying insects, there was no trace of other life.
She jumped off a wooden boat, untied the rope, and directed those who were following the boat to take the wood pulp and start rowing towards the sea cave.
The blood-colored seawater exudes a pungent smell of blood. It is not like the stench of rot, but is fresh and bloody, made up of the blood of countless living creatures.
Not far ahead is the sea cave formed by nature. The entrance has suddenly become pitch black, with no blue or emerald light at all. It looks like the gate to hell.
As soon as the wooden boat sailed into the blue hole, every Zuko felt a strange pressure coming from all around, and they couldn't help but start to tremble.
The entrance to the cave is not very spacious, and some sections are very narrow, with the steep cave walls within easy reach. Because of this, there have been accidents where tourists crashed into the cave wall and died due to cervical vertebra fractures.
Many people have died here, not just modern tourists, but also those who became sacrifices during the ancient Roman period, the ancient Greek period, and the more distant past.
The light in the cave is now magnificent and strange. In addition to blue light and emerald green light, there are also various kinds of light such as red light, yellow light, and brown light, twisted and layered together.
This place is already a mutated space, but I don’t know how it plays a role.
"Here, can we go back?" "Yeah, it's too dark inside..." "It doesn't seem like anything good is going to happen." The Zuges said in panic.
"Go forward, I'll give you chicken legs later." Wu Shiyu said, the bronze fork bell in his hand emitted a pale yellow light, dispelling other distorted light, illuminating a small space around him, as if breaking through the fog and splitting the huge waves.
Of course she could feel the strangeness around her, but that was exactly why she came here, there was a ritual to worship the power of the Black Goat.
The seawater in the blue hole was also blood. She could tell from the thousands of bloody smells, including the smell of blood stains left in the woods.
Apparently it was a family of victims who were dragged here after being attacked from the woods by evil believers, and there were more victims.
The ancestors were not coveting those chicken legs at the moment, but they did not dare to disobey Wu Shiyu. For fear of being kicked into a sea of blood by her, they could only continue to row the oars with all their strength, and their heads were hidden by the planks of the boat.
Within the range, only the paw is raised outside.
The deeper you go inside, the wider the sea cave becomes, and the twisted light becomes more intricate.
Those frog-like flying insects didn't flow out from here. Wu Shiyu hadn't seen any evil believers yet, but felt they were getting closer and closer.
She noticed that the water flow had become turbulent. Originally, except for a period of high and low tide, the water in the sea cave was relatively stable, so it was used as a private swimming pool by the Roman emperors. Now the boat seemed to be heading towards the center of the storm, gradually rocking.
Got to be intense.
"The current is so fast!" "I have no strength, I have no strength." "I can't row anymore..." The ancestors screamed in a hurry again.
"This water is going into the cave. In fact, if you don't row, the boat will go in."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier..." All the members of the group on the boat immediately loosened the boat's slurry in unison, and the boat's paddles stood upright on the cabin.
Wu Shiyu was right. Even if the ancestors stopped, the wooden boat would still flow rapidly along the current to the depths of the cave. It was as fast as losing control. Once it hit the cave wall, it might capsize and topple people.
result.
But gradually, the cave became very wide, like a small square, and the traces she was looking for finally appeared in front of it.
In the middle, the rushing waves hit what looked like a rock. As long as you look more clearly, you can see that it is actually a bunch of people. They are tied and stacked on top of each other, and their bodies are still bleeding.
The water is constantly attacking, swallowing, and dissolving, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive.
Those people are tourists, staff at attractions, and nearby residents.
When the ancestors saw him, they immediately pretended to be dead and made no sound. Wu Shiyu narrowed his eyes.
She couldn't tell how many people there were at the moment. It seemed like hundreds, it seemed like thousands, and it seemed like there were more and more...
No, that's not a reef, it looks like a...pyramid.
Around the human pyramid, there were many whirlpools rolling on the water. Each whirlpool had a stone platform rising from it. Different stone tools were placed on those stone platforms, some were stone axes, some were stone swords, and some were spears.
Shields, stone knives and other objects are all one piece, and each piece is emitting a different light, as if it is connected to other places.
Could that be the "stone weapon" Suetonius mentioned in the history books?
Next to each stone platform, there are several small boats parked. On each boat are three figures in black robes. These people all wear a pair of curly goat horns on their heads. Their faces are hidden in the darkness. The end of the sea cave is not deep.
Bottom line, the number of such goat-headed figures cannot be estimated.
They looked at the intruding boat and seemed to be prepared for it, but they could not hide their surprise.
Wu Shiyu knew from this smell that his appearance was a surprise to them, and their preparations only lasted a moment.
Do they think that there is no one else on the island of Capri, and everything here can be done according to their wishes, such as completing this ritual.
At the same time, the wooden boat continued to rush forward, and was about to hit the human pyramid. Wu Shiyu held the oar with his left hand to steady the boat, and continued to hold the bronze fork bell with his right hand. The mysterious cat power in his body had never been like this
Easily controlled by her.
Bang bang! The sea surface was churning, the wooden boat almost overturned, and the ancestors screamed in panic.
"Oh." Wu Shiyu looked around at the goat heads around him, "Are all of you on the island here? Not bad. It saves me the trouble of running around."
