Chapter 72: The Mirror Tomb (Part 2)

  Everyone hid behind the rocks, this patch of grass was very tall, and everyone held their breath, soon they saw that wild man walking over.

  Nobody could see his expression, as the hair on his head was too thick and his beard was too long, covering his entire face so that nothing could be seen.

  He was wearing a wild man's attire, and his long hair also covered his upper body. However, it could be vaguely seen that there were many scars on his chest and abdomen, with wounds of varying sizes, both new and old, and some still bleeding, which looked quite frightening at first glance.

  The savage's lower body was wearing that blue-black pants, the pants had been for a long time, and some of them had faded, the pant legs were worn out in a big way, but unexpectedly his pants were still quite clean, I don't know if he washed them often.

  A savage was approaching from a distance with some branches in his hand.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to get a clear look at the person's appearance, but it was really too difficult. If what that notebook said was true, then this person should also be a member of the science exam team and had been stranded on this island for several years.

  Wen Baihe and they walked all the way from the shore, without seeing anyone else. They did see corpses, but didn't know if this person was the only survivor on the island. If he was a survivor, how did he manage to survive?

  Just as he was thinking, the savage had already walked over to this side, and this cave was indeed his residence. The savage was about to push aside the weeds hiding the entrance to walk in when he heard a "rustling" sound.

  Wen Baiyu looked up and saw a fish head corpse crawling towards him. This thing could survive even after leaving the water. The huge fish tail was wriggling on the ground, supporting its body as it moved forward. The corpse's hands were extremely powerful, scratching against the ground with a "sandy" sound as it crawled forward. A huge fish head, incredibly ugly, constantly opening and closing its mouth, its dead eyes had turned into two dark holes.

  Wen Baiyu saw a dried-up fish head corpse rushing over quickly, and just as he was about to go out to help, he was pressed down on the shoulder by Wan Qi Jinghou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and pointed forward.

  Wen Baiyu looked back, only to see the fish head corpse pounce over in an instant. The wild man had loosened his grip on the branch in his hand, and with a "rustling" sound, it fell to the ground. Then, he leaned back in a smooth motion.

  The fish head corpse burst out and slammed into the entrance of the cave, then suddenly turned around and attacked him again.

  The huge mouth opens wide, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and takes a big bite. The savage then uses both hands to prop up the fish's mouth, with his hands separating the upper and lower jaws.

  The fish head corpse's two hands were about to grab when a wild man let out a low growl and with a "Ka" sound, actually forced the fish mouth into two halves.

  The fish's mouth split open and its head let out a "hā-hā-hā" sound, before being flung to the ground with a "plop".

  The savage quickly picked up the branches on the ground, and then "slapped" the tail of the dried fish head onto the ground, immediately hearing the dried fish head let out a furious roar.

  Although the branches are not hard enough and easy to break, the savage specially finds a very thin tail end to nail, it seems that they have found the trick.

  Wen Baiyu touched his chin and felt that this wild man was quite skilled.

  Just then, a loud roar of "Hiss" was heard, and several fish-headed corpses climbed down from the rocks on the mountain like geckos, making a roaring sound, slowly approaching the savage.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Jingshou, his hand made a pressing motion twice, and he decided to wait and see the situation before doing anything. However, Wan Jingshou was generally very cautious and reliable in his actions, so everyone wasn't worried.

  Those dried fish heads surrounded him, the savage retreated a few steps, and the dried fish heads immediately pounced on him. The savage grabbed the neck of the corpse with both hands, and with a "crack" sound, he twisted the fish head off, quickly kicking it to one side, just hitting another incoming corpse.

  There were five dried corpses in total, and the savage immediately took care of two of them. The other three quickly surrounded him from three sides, with two pouncing on him at the same time. Just as the savage was struggling to deal with these two, a fish-headed corpse suddenly pounced on him from behind, stretching out its claws and swiping at his back with a "whoosh".

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes moved, and he immediately picked up the rolling tree branch. With a "whooshing" sound, he threw it out, and just heard a light "plop" sound. The tree branch hit the fish head corpse that was pouncing over, passing through its fish brain and falling to the ground.

  The savage was startled by this movement and immediately looked towards the place where they were hiding, solved the two dry corpses under his hands, and immediately turned around to run.

  Wen Baiyu thought it was going badly and shouted: "Catch him."

  The crowd emerged from behind the rocks, and it was difficult to walk on the mountain. There was only one small path, and if you wanted to get down the mountain, you had to take this route. The savage immediately turned around and ran, extremely fast, and in an instant, he had already pulled away.

  Jiǔ Mìng just got hung up and was furious, looked down and saw the wild man had already run far away, couldn't help but size him up, then suddenly jumped down from the mountain.

  Donghai was startled and wanted to grab Jiǔ Mìng, but it was too late. Jiǔ Mìng's body was agile, and with a "whoosh" he jumped down, did a flip on the ground, and then pounced up, kicking the wild man in the back with a "thud".

  The savage was kicked and immediately rushed forward, fell to the ground, and wanted to get up, but was pressed down by Jiǔ Mìng.

  Wen Baiyu heard that loud "boom", her eyelids twitching wildly. If she hadn't had a sturdy body, her lungs would have been kicked out.

  The crowd caught up from behind, and Jiǔ Mìng smiled at them with a pleased expression.

  Jiuming pulled the wild man up and said, "Be honest, don't run again."

  Although Wen Baiyu couldn't see the wild man's expression, the wild man's head clearly moved a bit, apparently sizing them up, then froze in the direction of Zou Chengyi and took a step back.

  The savage saw Zou Chengyi and indeed had a big reaction. Everyone heard his heavy breathing sound.

  "We didn't mean to harm you," said Wen Baiyu. "We saw a distress signal on the boat, was it sent by you?"

  He said, taking out the badge with the number 13 on it and showing it to him.

  The savage obviously moved a bit, but still didn't speak, his vigilant gaze directed at Zou Chengyi.

  Zou Chengyi also found that he was on guard against himself. When Zou Chengyi struggled in the water with the fish head corpse, his pants were worn out and exposed the blue bones inside, which were exactly the same as the arm of the female corpse in the photo.

  Zou Chengyi shrugged and said, "I'd better withdraw for now."

  The crowd led the savage to the mountain cave, and Wan Qi Jing Hou saw those few fish heads that still had a breath of life on the ground. He took out the dragon-scale dagger and slashed one knife, and those dry corpses died very thoroughly.

  "Despot," said Jiǔ Mìng with a hiss.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't do anything, wiped the dagger clean and put it away, saying: "These monsters seem to be social creatures, if they're discovered by other monsters, there will be trouble."

  He said, leading the way through the underbrush and into the cave, the others and the savage following.

  As soon as everyone walked in, they found that this place was actually a different world. The first thing they saw was the text on the wall of the cave. There were many texts carved on the wall of the cave, but the marks were very shallow, and at first glance, they were ground out with stones. Most of them were what wild men had seen and heard.

  Wen Baiyu handed the badge with the number 11 to Ye Ren, who only then realized that his own badge was missing. He immediately took it back, lowered his head, seemingly examining it repeatedly, then wiped it clean and carefully put it away.

  In the cave, there was a simple bed and a stone table set up. A stone chair that had been ground into shape sat on the floor, next to a very crude backpack that looked especially old. It bulged with something unknown inside.

  They had nowhere to sit, the savage sat on a chair, they couldn't possibly sit on someone's bed, this "room" looked cramped and eerie, really not suitable for conversation.

  He Yi Feng hugged Zou Chengyi and stood at the entrance of the cave, but didn't go in.

  Everyone sat down, and the savage was the first to speak up, saying: "What kind of people are you?"

  Everyone was somewhat surprised, such a slovenly wild man, everyone thought his voice would be very hoarse and unpleasant to listen to. It was even possible that after living on the island for so long without anyone to talk to, he had lost the ability to speak. But what was hard to imagine was that not only could the wild man speak, but he spoke fluently, with a good-sounding voice that was somewhat low and husky, sounding like a thirty-year-old man.

  "We are tourists who went out to sea, encountered a storm, and woke up on this island. When we were on the boat, we salvaged a huge clamshell with this emblem inside."

  Wen Baiyu said, and also handed him badge No. 13.

  The wild man took it over, looked at it repeatedly for several times, his hand was a bit trembling, as if recalling something, sighed, but quickly recovered, pointed to Wan Kuang Jing Hou and said: "He doesn't look like a tourist."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  It's probably because Wan Qi Jing Hou killed the dry corpse too quickly, so it's obvious that using the two words "tourist" to fool the savage is useless.

  At this time, Zou Chengyi let Yi Feng hold himself in, and as soon as he came over, the wild man was obviously emotionally unstable and immediately stood up from his chair.

  Wen Baiyu quickly stood up and said: "Don't be nervous, we may not be tourists, but we're not bad people either, and we don't pose any threat to you."

  The savage said: "What kind of man is he?"

  He, obviously referring to Zou Chengyi.

  Zou Cheng smiled and said: "You have questions you want to ask, we also have questions we want to ask. Since that's the case, why don't we just be open and honest with each other, one question at a time?"

  The savage sneered, and Zou Chengyi also smiled, saying: "You're not at a loss, and in my opinion, you seem to want to know what I am, and whether the death of your companions has any direct connection with me."

  The savage's emotions were completely stirred up, and the cave echoed with his heavy breathing. However, the savage did not take any other action, but stood still, looking in Zou Chengyi's direction, then suddenly sat down.

  The savage said: "What kind of people are you?"

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath of relief, unexpectedly, Zou Chengyi's method was quite effective. Wen Baiyu said: "We are going to sea to find Jianmu."

  What he said is indeed true, but in fact they are not looking for Jianmu, but rather fragments of Jianmu.

  The savage listened silently for a moment, then nodded his head.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'What's your name?'"

  The savage said: "De Liang."

  As soon as he said that, Wen Baiyu thought of what was recorded in his notebook, numbered 11, and indeed someone named Liang, the wild man shouldn't have lied.

  It's the savage's turn to ask questions, saying: "Who is he?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "I'll answer this question myself. I can tell you that I pose no threat to you, I just want to cure my own leg disease."

  Di Liang was half-believing and half-doubting, Wen Baiyu took out the photo of the female corpse and said: "Do you know where this corpse is buried?"

  Di Liang was extremely excited as soon as he saw the photo, and suddenly stood up again, saying: "Where did you find this? Where did you find this photo?"

  This photo was found on a corpse, Wen Baiyu knew. Di Liang obviously asked the person with this photo: "We found it on an old man, unfortunately the old man has been dead for a long time, in the woods, we buried his body."

  Di Liang shook his head and said, "Impossible! I've walked through this forest thousands of times, it's impossible that there's something I haven't discovered! Let alone a corpse!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Then haven't you discovered that there are many stones in the forest? Cut open a stone and take a look."

  He sat back in his chair, took a couple of deep breaths, and looked at the photo for a long time before saying: "That old man is my teacher. My teacher has always been fascinated by ancient civilizations and has spent his whole life researching them. We students followed him on this journey, and several years ago, he suddenly received some important news - he said he was going to sea to find a tomb related to Hou Yi shooting the sun. He said that if he could find this tomb, then the legend of Hou Yi shooting the sun would no longer be just a myth..."

  Di Liang and his group of fifteen people, mostly graduate students, went to sea together to search for the elusive tomb. That day, they also encountered dried fish corpses. Strangely, those corpses did not devour them but instead dragged them into the water. When they woke up, like Wen Baiyu and others, they were lying on the shore, lucky to have survived.

  A group of people began to excavate on the island, searching for things that could help them survive. What excited the teacher was that the feng shui of this island was very strange and there must be a magnificent tomb somewhere.

  They lived on the island for a long time, until they were about to run out of food and water. They finally found the tomb, but there were countless mechanisms inside it. When they opened the coffin, a female corpse lay in it, looking lifelike, with her hands having turned into icy blue bones just like Zou's.

  Everyone was excited, this ancient corpse had never been seen before. However, at this moment, the female corpse surprisingly showed a smile in front of everyone's eyes, they were all scared silly, and then a stream of green water spouted out from the fish mouth of the female corpse.

  Several people's faces were burned, and they were suddenly scattered. As Di Liang escaped, he found his teacher, who told him that there was no time to waste, the mirror was devouring people, and he should run quickly!

  Di Liang couldn't understand what he was saying, and he had already forgotten how he rushed out of the tomb. All around him were the cries for help from his companions, the wails, the tomb was very dark, Di Liang wanted to save them, but he couldn't see anyone, all he could hear in his ears were the mournful cries one after another.

  Di Liang ran out of the tomb, he wanted to leave this strange island, but it was all in vain.

  Di Liang said faintly, "I don't know if you've heard of Weak Water. I tried to chop down trees to make a raft, but the water around this island can't even float a single hair."

  He said, reaching out to touch the carved marks on the wall: "At first I was still keeping track of days, but later, I found that I might not be able to get out for my whole life, and keeping track didn't make any sense. I've already lost count of how many years I've spent on this island."

  According to the notes on the laptop, it has been seven years since they set out, and Di Liang has been trapped on this island for at least six years.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "So many years, your language skills are not a problem, and when we passed through the forest, we found that there are no animals on this island. What do you eat? Or is there someone else on this island?"

  As soon as he said that, Di Liang fell silent. After a long time, he said: "Actually, I don't know if he is human or not."

  Di Liang's words were really unbelievable, and Jiu Ming said: "Could it be that he is a ghost?"

  Di Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I escaped from the tomb, I desperately wanted to escape the island, but couldn't. At that time, I was exhausted, and without food or water, I fainted directly. But when I woke up, I was already in this cave, and a voice told me to go to the shore every day to take a look."

  Di Liang was wandering on the verge of collapse at that time, he seemed to be fearless, walking alone in the forest, and after a long search, he finally found the shore.

  Something very strange happened, there were several fish on the shore, a big clam, opened the clam, and it was filled with water.

  Di Liang tasted some and found it was fresh water, drinkable, and not salty.

  Di Liang was very excited at that time. He found out that there were still people on the island, and the person took care of him when he fainted, and also prepared a lot of food and water for him.

  Di Liang had a normal desire to find this person, but he searched for many years without finding him.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Someone gives you food and water, but doesn't want to show their face?"

  Di Liang let out a wry smile and said, "Yes, and I even think that he might not be human at all, or maybe I'm just imagining things? But the food and water are real, they're here every day, appearing every day."

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "He meets you at the shore every day to pick up food, didn't you ever think of sneaking a peek?"

  Di Liang said: "I've thought about it naturally. At first, I was so hungry that as long as it was food, I could eat it, no matter who brought it over. However, later on, my body gradually recovered, and I also thought about going to take a look. I hid by the seaside and observed for a whole day, without moving from the spot. But strangely, not a single person appeared that day, until evening, when there was still no food or water on the shore. The next day, I continued waiting, but again, there was no food or anyone. I gradually realized that something was off - as long as I waited by the shore, not only would that person not appear, but I would also go hungry. Hunger is one thing, but being thirsty while staring at the seawater on the shore and not being able to drink it is even more unbearable. You tell me, if it were like this, would you still choose to go take a look?"

  Jiǔ Mìng smiled and said: "This is interesting, could it be Tián Luó Gū Niáng?"

  Di Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

  Jiǔ Mìng suddenly said: "That big clamshell, is it the one you used to hold the corpse?"

  He nodded and said, "I've been studying this island for a long time. The island is like a maze, the forest you came from is the simplest part, but this mountain is the entrance to the maze. If you go up, you'll get lost quickly. I've walked for many years and still haven't finished it. That day, I saw the corpse on the mountain, it was one of my companions. I brought the body back, but it was poisonous, so I couldn't put it anywhere. In desperation, I put the body in a conch shell and sank it to the bottom of the sea, thinking that maybe someone would see it if the conch shell was washed away by the seawater."

  Jiumeng said: "It's a pity you didn't casually bury that corpse, that corpse will resurrect and turn into a zongzi that eats people."

  "What are those scars on your body?"

  "This is a map, I drew it myself. There's nothing on this island, and this mountain is a maze. To get out, you need a detailed map, but it's impossible to remember with just your brain, so I drew the map on my body, so I wouldn't get lost."

  As soon as he said that, everyone's back tightened up. This wasn't just painted on the skin, it was clearly carved into the flesh. And to prevent scarring from falling off and becoming invisible after healing, they had to be recarved repeatedly.

  It seems that Di Liang encountered many things on this island and was in great danger.

  Wen Baiyu said: "We want to go find that tomb, can you lead the way for us?"

  Di Liang shook his head, and Wen Baiyu wanted to say something. Di Liang said: "It's not that I didn't bring the way, but because the entrance has been blown up. There are many mechanisms in that tomb. We've already blown it up after entering."

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "Where did you escape from?"

  Di Liang said: "On the mountain, I escaped to a place that should be on the mountain. When I woke up, I was already in a cave. To this day, I haven't found a complete path to climb the mountain."

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said, "So, it seems that the only way to find a way into the tomb is to find the person who saved you."

  Wen Baiyu asked Di Liang: "At what time every day will that person deliver food and water to you?"

  Di Liang said: "When the sun sets, I will go to the water's edge to retrieve things. That day, I found you too, also because of going to the water's edge to fetch food."

  "What is food usually?"

  Di Liang said: "All food is fish, and there is water in the clams."

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "Ah, I like fish."

  Donghai chuckled and Jiuling's face immediately turned red, and he said in a flustered tone: "I meant I like eating fish! Not that I like fish, don't get any ideas!"

  Donghai smiled and said: "I know, I also like eating you."

  Nine Lives: “……”

  Jiǔ Mìng shivered and hid behind Wēn Bái Yǔ's body, saying: "Master, save me! This fish is a pervert!"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly wanted to cover her face, but at this moment, Di Liang was present. In Di Liang's eyes, everyone was an ordinary good person. If he knew that the people around him were not human, who knows if this ordinary savage would collapse?

  Wen Baiyu said: "First of all, we have already locked in our target. I do have a plan, it won't be too unkind, but I need you to cooperate with me."

  Di Liang said: "What plan?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "This person obviously has no malice towards you, and not only did he save you, but also sent food to you. When you went to fetch the food, that person was obviously present too, otherwise how would he have discovered it when you stayed behind to squat? How about this..."

  Wen Baiyu said with a smile, "When you take the food, pretend to be poisoned or sick, and then faint from exhaustion. Let's see if that person will come to rescue you. If he comes out to save you, we'll catch him!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "Indeed, it's a pretty good way."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu gave him a white eye, at this time if he didn't make a sarcastic comment he would die!

  Di Liang felt a bit uneasy, after all, that person had saved him several times, and this was indeed not very kind. However, he also wanted to unravel his own mystery, and who knows, maybe unraveling this mystery would allow Di Liang to escape the island as well.

  Di Liang finally nodded his head.

  Wen Baiyu took a glance at the time and since it was still early, he went on to inquire about the burial with Di Liang in detail.

  Di Liang said that the tomb is a building, a high-rise building hidden underground.

  What puzzled Wen Baiyu the most was why Di Liang's teacher said that mirrors eat people?

  What does this mean?

  What mirror?

  Why eat people?

  Di Liang said that he did not see any mirrors in the tomb, but at that time it was too chaotic, maybe he missed it.

  Another inexplicable thing is that Di Liang woke up in the cave, while his teacher died on a large stone in the forest. There were no fatal injuries on his body, but his death was extremely desperate, as if he had been frightened to death. What's going on?

  Also, Di Liang discovered a corpse. Their team of fifteen people, including Di Liang himself, his teacher, and Number 13, now only had three people left. The other twelve were nowhere to be found, even if they were dead, their bodies must be found.

  Everyone rested in the cave for a while. Wen Baiyu said, "This cave is so close to those monsters' nest, aren't you afraid of being attacked?"

  Di Liang said: "At first I was also afraid, but later found that most of those monsters would not find this side, even if they found this side it would be one or two, today is considered a lot."

  Everyone exchanged a look, took out their luggage, and there was still food inside. Di Liang had a stone pot that looked like it had been ground into shape. He had been eating fish for years and felt like his mouth was full of fishy smell.

  Wen Baiyu took out some canned food and instant noodles, poured them into the pot, and prepared to heat them up for everyone's lunch.

  Di Liang said: "I have fire, wait for me to light it."

  Wen Baiyu was still thinking about what kind of lighter could last for seven years and be so powerful, when he saw Di Liang preparing to start a fire using primitive methods...

  "No need, no need, we have a lighter."

  Actually, Wen Baiyu didn't have a lighter. He stretched out his hand to cover his right hand, as if shielding the wind, and then his palm made a "whooshing" sound, and a small flame landed on the branch, igniting it instantly.

  Di Liang put the stone pot on and started heating up the meal.

  During this time, Di Liang also showed everyone the remaining items he had. There was nothing to eat or drink, and his upper garment was torn and could not be worn. These pants had been washed by the water's edge for so many years.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but imagine Di Liang washing his pants and standing by the water's edge, bare-bottomed, waiting for them to dry. She covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.

  Di Liang's backpack surprisingly had a gun, and Wan Qi Jing Hou skillfully disassembled it, took a look at the bullets inside, which were only one short, and could be used, but didn't know if it would misfire.

  Di Liang looked at his movements, seemingly very skilled. Wan Xi Jing Hou also found a simple tent in Di Liang's backpack, which was brittle due to its age, but if they really went up the mountain, it might still be usable. An old-fashioned flashlight, whose battery had long been drained and couldn't be used, aside from that there was a leather wallet containing a photo.

  Wen Baiyu also went over to take a look, fifteen people, and there was even a girl among them, no one knew where these people were from.

  Di Liang's hair was too long, Wen Baiyu made the flames bigger, almost burning all his hair off. Wen Baiyu then took out the Phoenix Bone Dagger and said with a smile: "You'd better tidy up your hair and beard."

  Di Liang previously had no knife and couldn't trim his hair. With so much hair it was also very hot, so he went to one side to tidy himself up.

  Jiuming also saw that photo, inside there was a big beard, Jiuming smiled and said: "I know, this is Diliang, I think he looks like him."

  He said, just as Di Liang had finished tidying up and walked over, his hair was simply cut off roughly, it couldn't be shaved completely bald, the temperature difference between morning and evening here is quite large, shaving would be too cold, they didn't have any emergency medicine. So they could only cut their hair to a medium length, the beard was all cut off, the phoenix bone dagger looked particularly sharp, there were two blood marks on his cheek, and it was still slightly bleeding.

  Di Liang wiped the blood from his face with one hand and handed the dagger back to Wen Baiyu with the other, saying "Thanks."

  Everyone looked up at once, and suddenly their mouths were wide enough to hold an egg.

  Jiǔ Mìng glared with wide eyes, took a look at the photo and said: "Which one is you?"

  Di Liang said: "We are arranged in order of number, this is me."

  He said, pointing at the person in the middle of the back row.

  He is a young man in his twenties, with a slight smile on his lips, a pair of peach blossom eyes, extremely gentle eyes, and a somewhat bookish air, but he has a tall and strong build, I'm sure there are many girls chasing him, anyway, just one sentence, Di Liang's appearance is absolutely pleasing to the eye.

  It's not just the nine lives, others also thought that the big bearded man in front should be Di Liang, but unexpectedly after he shaved off the long hair covering his face, he looked like a completely different person!

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said, "I'm a bit regretful that I let him shave off his hair and beard."

  "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "What if the person who delivers food to Di Liang can't recognize him at a glance, what should we do?"

  Everyone was silent for a moment, this joke is a bit cold.

  Everyone had lunch, although it was just a simple boiled noodles with heated canned meat, but Di Liang hadn't eaten noodles for several years, and eating them now felt somewhat nostalgic.

  They were in the cave, Di Liang told them some things about going up the mountain. Di Liang's body was a natural map, and every time he walked, if he discovered new roads, he would record them down.

  It wasn't until the sun was about to set that everyone came out of the cave. They made their way through the forest and arrived at the seaside.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, looking from afar, you can already see several fish laid out on the shore, next to which is a large clamshell, its mouth slightly open.

  Wen Baiyu waved his hand, indicating that Di Liang could go past now.

  Di Liang walked over, and everyone hid in the grass beside them.

  Only to see Di Liang squat down, first open the shell and take a look, it's indeed a full shell of fresh water, although this water is not much, but for Di Liang who was stranded on the island, it's like timely snow in June.

  Di Liang actually had some psychological burden, then everyone saw Di Liang fall down...

  Jiuming let out a stifled "heh" and was immediately covered by Donghai, who clamped his hand over Jiuming's mouth. Everyone stared at Jiuming in surprise.

  Nine lives looked at them innocently, not because he was smiling, but because Di Liang's acting skills were too exaggerated. It's unknown whether this kind of mass actor's acting skills can even hook the fish.

  Everyone stared intently, and sure enough, after Di Liang fell down, several small water bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water.

  Wen Baiyu found it somewhat strange, looking at those small water bubbles, and lowered his voice to say: "Fish?"

  Donghai shook his head, meaning it wasn't fish.

  After a few seconds, the small bubble suddenly grew larger, and then with a " splash" sound, a figure emerged from the water.

  Everyone was shocked, is it human?

  And it was a naked person, who looked very small in stature. He emerged from the water, took a look at Di Liang on the shore, and then came ashore, just walking past.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou made a gesture, and the crowd rushed out of the bushes. The man seemed to have been frightened and immediately turned around and ran.

  Di Liang at this time also opened his eyes wide, jumped up from the ground, and then pounced on the person who wanted to run.

  But a strange thing happened, Di Liang had clearly pounced on that person, but the person "poof" disappeared in an instant. Di Liang looked at his own hands in astonishment, there was nothing.

  "Did he run away?"

  Dong Hai said: "That's not necessarily true."

  He said, pointing to the shell on the ground.

  "Ah? Is it really Miss Snail?"

  Di Liang said in surprise: "A shell?"

  Di Liang was a talented student, and for over twenty years he followed his teacher to study, do research, and work on projects. Although his teacher was deeply fascinated by the various myths of ancient times, Di Liang was an atheist who didn't believe in the existence of ghosts or gods. After escaping from the tomb, he still felt a bit dazed, and sometimes he wondered if everything had just been a dream of his - otherwise, why did everyone else disappear, leaving only him alive?

  Now seeing a shell, Di Liang couldn't accept it for a while, but others could understand.

  It's a smallish clam, about the size of a fist, slightly larger than normal clams but nowhere near as large as the big clam they picked up.

  The clam fell to the ground, its tightly closed shell intact.

  The shell of this clam is like a pearl, with a smooth and lustrous exterior, resembling a fine piece of jade, with beautiful and flowing lines on its surface.

  Actually, Wen Baiyu never quite understood why the clam was called the "Noble Lady Clam" or "Xi Shi's Tongue". Those are all beauties, but clams are soft-bodied creatures, all muddy and sticky.

  But now looking at this clamshell, Wen Baiyu can understand that this clamshell is too beautiful and must be a work of art.

  Di Liang picked it up from the ground and obviously felt that the small shell was a bit heavy, shaking it in his palm.

  Jiuming looked at the clam and sucked in a mouthful of saliva, saying: "Pry it open and take a look, I love eating seafood the most."

  Wan Qi Jinghou took out the dragon scale dagger and inserted it into the gap between the shell, Wen Baiyu said: "Be careful, don't damage it."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded, and with a "click" sound, he used some force, and the clamshell opened a gap. Through the gap, he took a look inside, and there were some white things, could it be the flesh of the clam?

  Nine lives would be drooling, greedy to the point of being unable to bear it.

  The clam opened a gap and then closed it with a "bang", also pinching Wan Qi Jinghou's dagger.

  Then the clam began to quiver incessantly, and its quivering was visible to everyone's naked eye.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it you who used a dagger to pry him open, he was scared?"

  He is afraid of being eaten by Jiǔ Mìng.

  Nine Lives: “……”

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou grasped the stuck dagger and with a "ka" sound, he pried it open. This time, he used a bit more force, and the shell of the clam suddenly opened up.

  Inside was not white raw abalone meat at all, but a person!

  A person with a whole body of □□ sits inside, about the size of two fingers together, his whole body trembles, his knees are together, curled up in an oyster.

  The shell of the clam opened, and the little people inside shrunk back, looking at them in terror.

  "Really? Is that really Tianluo Niangzi? Wait a minute, with the way you're sitting like that, I shouldn't be able to see your legs at all."

  He said, stretching out his hand to poke, and immediately heard a "ah!" sound. The shell suddenly closed, just clipping off Jiǔ Mìng's fingers, causing him to yell in pain.

  Jiuming yelled loudly, and Donghai waved his hand slowly at this time. The shell of the clam automatically opened, and Jiuming quickly pulled out his fingers, which were pinched purple.

  Jiuming showed his fingers to Donghai and said, "They're all green!"

  Donghai looked at him and said, "You asked for it."

  As soon as the clamshell opened, the little person inside crawled out and hid in the innermost part.

  "We didn't mean it, really."

  The little man was too small, and his facial expression couldn't be seen clearly by the crowd. He looked at the crowd, then shifted his gaze to Di Liang's body.

  Di Liang seemed somewhat apologetic, took the shellfish, held it in his hands and said: "We have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask you something."

  Di Liang's voice was a little low and gentle when he spoke, possibly because the small person in the clamshell was too small, so Di Liang seemed to be coaxing a child, but that little person finally stopped trembling, seemingly winking at Di Liang.

  Then there was a "plop" sound, and the clam suddenly disappeared, replaced by a naked person. Di Liang had just been holding the clam, and it suddenly transformed into human form, sitting right in his arms.

  Di Liang was startled and almost threw the person out, but fortunately, he only shook his hand slightly. He looked down to see a young boy sitting in his arms, who didn't look more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

  The entire body is snow-white, white like porcelain, but not pale, with a hint of luster, as if the skin is slightly moist.

  It was indeed a little boy, because he was naked, and one glance could see from bottom to top.

  The little boy came out of Diliang's arms and felt a bit embarrassed. He curled up his legs to cover himself, looking at them.

  Di Liang's mind was still reeling, and it really was a clam, but this clam could transform into a human? Wasn't that a monster? But which monster looked so harmless? These people were grabbing and prying, they seemed more like monsters.

  Wen Baiyu and they brought backpacks, hurriedly gave Xiao Haibei a set of clothes, Xiao Haibei wore a shirt, directly from head to toe, body shape like a beast.

  Because Xiao Haibao was always afraid, Wen Baiyu tried to be more gentle, but he felt like a weird uncle and said: "What's your name?"

  The little clam shook his head and said, "I don't have a name."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Eh, so you're a scallop?"

  The little clam nodded.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Did you save this person?'"

  Xiao Hai Bang looked at Di Liang and then nodded again.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Why did you save him?'"

  She looked at Di Liang and after a while, said in a low voice: "Because he is very handsome."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's face turned pale and she almost fainted, what does this mean? Xiao Haibin is still quite honest.

  "He's also very handsome."

  He said, pointing at Wan Gui Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly glared at Wan Jijinghou, and Wan Jijinghou rubbed his nose.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Have you seen anyone else on this island?"

  The little clam shook his head and said, "No more, I've only seen him alone before."

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "You've only seen one person, and you know he's handsome?"

  Donghai pulled out nine lives at once, and it was clear that he also felt that Jiuyi's focus was not quite right...

  But then Little Scallop pouted slightly and thought for a moment before saying: "I just think he's handsome..."

  Di Liang rubbed his forehead and coughed, saying: "Was it by the tomb where you saved me? Can you take us there again?"

  The little clam suddenly opened his eyes wide and shook his hand vigorously, saying: "Cannot."

  Di Liang was afraid of scaring Xiao Haibin, so he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone and asked: "Why?"

  The little clam said: "Really can't go, it's too dangerous, and..."

  The little clam said nothing more and tightly pursed her lips, refusing to look at them.

  Everyone exchanged a glance and thought Di Liang was better at coaxing the child, so Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to push Di Liang forward.

  "What's more?" Di Liang said.

  The little clam raised his head and looked at him, his fingers gently digging in the sand on the shore, quickly digging out a small hole, saying: "It's very dangerous there, and...and you want to find a grave, you must be thinking of...leaving here, then I...I won't see you again."

  As soon as he said it out loud, everyone was stunned, and Di Liang's face couldn't help but turn red.

  Wen Baiyu coughed and said in a strange, uncle-like tone: "I'm telling you, once we find a way out, I'll take you with me, then you can see him again."

  The little scallop immediately perked up and said, "Really?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded vigorously, and Di Liang remained silent for a moment.

  The little clam suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, I can take you there, but it's too dangerous."

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen, there are so many of us."

  It's already dusk, so everyone took their food and returned to the cave first, waiting for dawn before continuing on their way. The mountain roads are not easy to walk at night, and it's like a maze, making it even harder to get through.

  The little clam didn't have a name, so Wen Baiyu said let's call him Xiao Hai for now, and Xiao Hai happily agreed.

  Xiaohai rarely speaks and is basically silent. He can endure loneliness, sitting alone with his eyes wandering around, not saying a word, just listening to others talk.

  This island didn't have any living things at all, and Wen Baiyu had no idea where Xiao Hai came from.

  Xiao Hai said: "I was at the bottom of the sea, not far from the shore. I don't know why I was there either."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Then do you have other companions?'"

  Xiao Hai shook his head and said: "I'm alone, there's no one else with me, the sea floor is all muddy."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Then where did you get your fish from?"

  Xiao Hai said: "It's from a very far place, I swim very far every day to find fish."

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat excited and said: "Do you know the route out?"

  Xiao Hai nodded and said: "I know, but there is a large glass cover around this island. At the bottom of the sea, a small opening was opened, and we can only drill through the opening. We need to dive very deep."

  Everyone listened and looked at each other, there was a large glass cover around the island? What does this mean? Are they locked in a cage? This is really unbelievable.

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, whether it was a glass cover or not, Xiao Hai could get a huge clamshell to bring water over, which meant that the entrance would definitely allow them to pass through. The problem lay in diving, but diving shouldn't be a problem either, wasn't there still the East Sea?

  Wen Baiyu said: "Tomorrow we'll go up the mountain, when we come out of the tomb, let's take a look at that opening Xia Hai mentioned."

  Everyone nodded, Di Liang's face was a bit gloomy, because he had experienced it once, so for Di Liang, the tomb had many terrifying memories, and whether or not he could get out of there was another matter.

  Everyone finished dinner and prepared to rest and recharge for tomorrow's expedition into the labyrinth.

  Xiao Hai hardly ate anything and just drank some water. He said it was fine for him to drink seawater, and the fresh water could be left for them.

  At night, when the fire in the cave was not extinguished, everyone lay down. Wen Baiyu saw a light spot on the top of the cave and suddenly sat up, scaring Jiuming beside him to sit up as well. He vigilantly looked around and said, "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu didn't say a word, pointing to the light spot on his forehead. Everyone saw it, and Xiao Hai rubbed his eyes and sat up too. As soon as he sat up, the light spot changed position and shone directly into Di Liang's eyes.

  Di Liang covered his eyes with one hand, Xiao Hai's shirt was a bit big, the buttons on top were open, just revealing the chest, on the left side of the heart position, there was a mirror-like reflective surface.

  Everyone looked at each other in shock. The smooth surface reflected the light, and earlier Xiao Hai lay down, shining directly on the top of the cave.

  Xiao Hai saw everyone staring at him and couldn't help but lower his head in surprise. He noticed that the button was undone, so he quickly reached out to fasten it.

  Wen Baiyu walked over, didn't let Xiao Hai fasten his buttons, looked at the shiny thing on his chest and said: "What's this thing?"

  Xiao Hai shook his head and said: "I don't know, I've had it since I was a kid."

  Jiuming said: "I know this, don't all shells eat mud and sand? It's wrapped in the mud and sand. In the past when eating shells, there was occasionally glass inside."

  He mentioned eating, and Xiao Hai was so scared that he immediately hid in a corner of the cave, rubbing his own cheek with nine lives.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is like a shard of glass."

  As soon as he said that, Di Liang immediately remembered his teacher's words. At that time, the teacher was shouting loudly, telling them to run quickly and saying in a hoarse voice that there was no time left, the mirror was devouring people!

  Di Liang resisted a bit and closed his eyes, as if unwilling to recall those things, especially the ones related to the mirror.

  "Go to sleep."

  He said, lay down and closed his eyes.

  Xiaohai looked at his own chest, then looked at Diliang who was lying down with his face to the wall. Instinctively, he felt that Diliang seemed not in a good mood, but didn't know why. Xiaohai carefully lay down, looking at his back.

  Everyone also lay down, there were too many problems, couldn't think of anything for the time being, could only talk about it tomorrow.

  Wen Baiyu was lying on Wan Zijun's leg, but Wan Zijun wasn't lying down either, he was sitting against the cave wall.

  The flames were dancing, and Wen Baiyu soon fell asleep. Just as she was sleeping, she felt that Wan Kuangjing's legs moved slightly. Wen Baiyu immediately woke up, and then saw a shadow swaying in the cave.

  The shadow was very long because the flames danced and were cast on the rock wall.

  Wen Baiyu was about to get up when Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, then gently patted him twice, signaling him not to move.

  Wen Baiyu silently turned her head to look over, and saw that Xiao Hai had already climbed up, sat up straight for a while, then suddenly gently crawled forward, crawling to Di Liang's side.

  Wen Baiyu was acting strangely, his movements extremely light, without making a single sound. If Wan Jinhou hadn't moved slightly, Wen Baiyu wouldn't have heard anything at all.

  Xiao Hai sat beside Di Liang, gazing at him for a long time with a hint of a smile still on his lips. Wen Bai Yu found it strange, wondering if Xiao Hai was simply admiring how good-looking Di Liang was.

  At this moment, Xiao Hai puckered up his lips, stretched out a line, and suddenly lowered his head. Because Di Liang was sleeping sideways with his face to the wall, Xiao Hai could only peck him on the ear.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that he shouldn't have looked, and it turned out that Xiao Hai was launching a night raid?

  Xiaohai kissed him and immediately retreated several steps back, then quickly returned to his position, hastily covering his head and lying down. Wen Baiyu thought Dilang had woken up, but it turned out that Dilang's breathing was very stable, and Xiaohai was just being nervous on his own.

  Xiao Hai's lips seemed not to be called a kiss, he puckered his mouth into a line and lightly touched Di Liang's ear, more like a touch.

  But Xiao Hai seemed very excited, and Wen Baiyu could even hear his irregular breathing.

  Apart from Xiao Hai's night raid, the rest of the night was uneventful. At dawn the next day, everyone woke up and gathered around the bonfire, adding some branches to it before starting to prepare breakfast.

  Everyone was having breakfast, and Wan Kuang Jing Hou packed up his luggage, including the tent and guns.

  Everyone had breakfast, and with Xiaohai as their guide, they were ready to set off up the mountain.

  They walked up the mountain, Xiao Hai was small in stature but very agile. Wen Baiyu had seen it last night that Xiao Hai's movements were nimble and especially light, with soft bones, some difficult movements for them could be done easily.

  As people walk up the mountain, they can see many fish head dry corpses' nests, which are filled with a strong smell of stench and rot.

  But all these caves were empty.

  Xiao Hai said: "They usually go out to hunt before dawn and return after dark, they are group activities, only a few will fall alone."

  Wen Baiyu thought that these fish heads could swim very far and attack their ships, saying: "Are these things also from the glass mouth you mentioned?"

  Xiao Hai nodded and said: "Yeah, at first I didn't know how to swim out either, but I secretly followed them out."

  Xiaohai also said: "Moreover, I found that they are just sensitive to sounds."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Sound?'"

  Xiao Hai nodded and said, "Very sensitive to human voices."

  They went all the way up and found that there was nothing in the monster's nest. After flipping over this one, they soon saw what Diliang said the maze was.

  After climbing up the mountain, there is a vast plain. On the plain, trees are densely planted, and as far as the eye can see, only giant rocks can be seen. Those giant rocks form high barriers, forming one path after another, which is really a maze.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the maze with a mixture of shock and amazement, it was clear that this was not a natural formation, but rather a man-made construct. How much manpower must have been spent to build such an enormous maze?

  Diliang had walked through part of it before. Every step he took, he would carve the map onto his body, so that every time he came to walk the maze, he could bring the map with him.

  Di Liang has been here for so many years and still can't get out of the maze, it's conceivable that this maze is extremely vast.

  As people walked in, they immediately felt the grandeur of the giant stone, even sunlight had to struggle to shine through, casting a patchwork of shadows. The gaps between the stones were not only dimly lit but also extremely cool, filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

  They walked from morning, led by Xiaohai, and Diliang also had a part of the map. They didn't walk slowly, but as they went deeper, there were more forks in the road, making it increasingly difficult. Diliang's map had reached its limit and was completely useless, while Xiaohai began to make mistakes frequently.

  They walked until three o'clock, and a sense of panic rose in everyone's heart. The midday sun dissipated, and fog began to rise, making the air humid.

  Wen Baiyu still had a lingering fear of the dense fog at sea, and immediately covered her mouth and nose. Wan Xiang Jinghou shook his head and said, "It's okay."

  Wen Baiyu finally relaxed.

  Xiao Hai's forehead was also sweating, and he didn't seem very familiar with this road. The front part was okay, but the back part started to go wrong, and everyone walked around in circles, getting anxious.

  Wen Baiyu said: "We haven't eaten lunch yet, let's sit down and have a meal first, we can't just keep walking like this."

  The crowd sat down in a circle, just as everyone was making a fire to cook, Wen Baiyu pulled Wan Kuang Jinghou up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

  Everyone has been walking for a long time, and water should be saved for drinking. Another sweat came out, actually didn't want to go to the toilet at all. Wen Baiyu pulled Wan Qi Jinghou to a dead end and whispered: "You help me keep watch, I'll go take a look."

  He said, pointing upwards. Although the giant stone array was very high, it was nothing to a phoenix that could fly. This height was just a small matter, and with a flick of its wings, it could go up.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Be careful, I think it's impossible for it to be so easy."

  Wen Baiyu also thinks so, but how can you know without going up to take a look?

  Wen Baiyu's body suddenly changed, and a golden red light burst out from her body. In an instant, a white six-tailed bird appeared, with its neck held high, looking at Wang Jinghou for a moment before swiftly flying up to the sky, flapping its wings, making a "whooshing" sound.

  Di Liang and the others were sitting not far away, but because of the stone wall in between, they didn't know what they were doing. However, they clearly felt a strong gust of wind blowing over, almost extinguishing the fire.

  Di Liang didn't know what happened, but others did. Zou Chengyi looked up at the sky, while Jiuming quickly covered the fire with his hands.

  A white feather flew up to the sky, and just as Jiǔ Mìng was about to stretch out his hand to grab the fire, a loud "Boom!" was heard.

  The white bird flew up, and before it could flap its wings again, it was about to fly over the giant stone when a "thud" sound was heard. The swan's head seemed to have hit something, and the sound was like hitting a glass wall.

  Wen Baiyu was completely unprepared, and suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. He fell off from above with a loud "thud", but fortunately, Wan Jingshou reacted quickly and caught him in mid-air. The impact of Wen Baiyu's fall from such a great height was tremendous, causing Wan Jingshou to take two steps back before crashing into the stone wall with a loud "boom". Only then did he manage to absorb the shock.

  Everyone heard the noise and immediately ran over to take a look. Di Liang thought that those two people went to relieve themselves, wouldn't they encounter monster attacks?

  As a result, they rushed over and saw Wen Baiyu looking weak and limp, his eyes slightly red, burying his head in Wang Qiuhou's neck, while Wang Qiuhou was holding him in a horizontal princess carry.

  These two look like they're up to no good...

  Di Liang was no longer a child and was already over thirty years old. He immediately misunderstood, hastily turned around the stone wall, and returned to the side of the bonfire.

  Xiao Hai looked at them curiously, and Di Liang beckoned him over, saying: "Xiao Hai, come here."

  Xiao Hai ran over and sat down beside Di Liang after hearing this.

  Wen Baiyu's head was dizzy and swollen, and she fell softly into Wang Qi Jing Hou's arms, with tears streaming down her eyes.

  "Master, didn't you go to the toilet? How can you be so beastly?"

  Wen Bai's head was spinning so badly that she felt like she was going to get a concussion, and she didn't have the strength to care about her life. Zou Chengyi asked: "What happened to you?"

  Wen Baiyu still felt dizzy, a wave of nausea surged up, it seemed that he really got post-traumatic stress disorder. Covering his mouth, he dry-retched and weakly said: "I now believe what Xiao Hai said."

  "What?" said Zou Chengyi.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This island is covered by a glass cover. The cover is along the edge of the giant stone, and I just flew up and hit it, without any defense."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was the one who personally witnessed Wen Bai Yu fleeing to the sky, that speed was astonishing, and he crashed into a solid object in an instant. A big bump immediately appeared on his forehead, it had already turned red and swollen, and it was fortunate that there was no bleeding from the impact.

  Wen Baiyu felt too embarrassed, with a big date on his head and his feet going soft, he couldn't walk at all. Wan Qi Jinghou carried him back to the fire, sat down and asked: "Does it hurt?"

  "It's not just painful, I'm feeling nauseous and want to vomit, and my head is dizzy."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Sleeping for a while will be fine."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, but due to feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, she didn't have the mood to eat at all, and directly fell asleep.

  Wen Baiyu originally wanted to take a shortcut, but it seemed that he didn't walk too well. When he woke up in a daze, he was still on the back of Wan Kuang Jing Hou. The sky had already darkened, and they were still in the giant stone array.

  This situation doesn't seem quite right.

  Xiao Hai was a bit anxious, but he also had no choice. This place was very dangerous and he usually wouldn't come here. He only passed by once when rescuing Di Liang, which was several years ago.

  The crowd didn't rest all afternoon, and it was already approaching 9 pm. Everyone was exhausted, so they found a spacious place, took out the tent from their backpacks, set up the tent, lit a fire, and huddled together.

  Wen Baiyu woke up and no longer felt dizzy or nauseous. Instead, her stomach was growling with hunger.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou put him down and said, "Are you feeling better?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, her movements a bit bigger and somewhat dizzy, but there were no other uncomfortable reactions.

  Everyone sat down, because they had that notebook and pen in their backpacks. Di Liang didn't have to draw on himself anymore. He drew out the road they had traveled, a very complicated big piece, and didn't know what was ahead.

  Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger on their way.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "At night, monsters will return to their nests. Tonight I'll keep watch, you can go rest."

  Everyone had eaten and was exhausted, so they went into the tent to rest. Wan Jie Jing Hou said: "You go sleep too."

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said: "I just woke up, now I can't sleep. It's boring for you to keep watch alone, I'll sit with you for a while."

  The tent is not perfect, although it can be set up, the curtain is gone, and the mouth is exposed, but a tent is good enough, who cares if it's exposed or not.

  Everyone was resting inside, and Wan Jie and Wen Baiyu sat beside them, just blocking the opening and able to see the movements inside.

  Yi Feng took off his own coat and spread it on the ground, then hugged Zou Cheng and lay down beside him, saying: "Young Master, you must be tired too, go to sleep quickly."

  The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, at night the wind blows a bit like winter. Zou Cheng saw him take off his overcoat and said: "I don't need it to keep warm, you wear it yourself, in case you get sick and hold everyone back."

  Yi Feng pushed his glasses and smiled, saying: "Young master, you're mistaken. How could I be sick?"

  Zou Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then thought that it was impossible for Yi Feng to be ill since he had been faking it all along.

  The wind made him lie down well, his own coat was very large, just right on the other side wrapped up, can also be used as a quilt.

  The wind whispered down and said with a smile: "Young master, close your eyes, or else I'll think of kissing you."

  Zou Chengyi's eyelashes fluttered rapidly, apparently startled by Xi Feng's words. Before he could speak, Xi Feng really leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips, saying: "Goodnight, young master."

  Zou Cheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and could only close his eyes, feeling his lips burning with anger.

  Xiao Hai opened her big eyes and saw Yi Feng's parents whispering to Zou Cheng, seemingly a little envious. She stared at them without blinking, completely natural.

  Di Liang felt a bit unnatural for him, so he called out to him and said, "Go to sleep quickly."

  Xiao Hai nodded slightly, pulled his clothes together, lay down, and then looked at his neckline, seemingly without exposing anything.

  He was a bit cautious because of that glass-like thing on his chest, Di Liang seemed to be in a bad mood, so Xiao Hai didn't dare to show up again.

  Di Liang was still with his back turned, facing the tent and sleeping, while Xiao Hai was lying on his side, staring at Di Liang's back, his eyes fixed intently.

  Wen Baiyu felt that even if she were blind, she could see that Xiao Hai must have liked Di Liang. Otherwise, how could he have gone to such great lengths for nearly seven years, every day swimming far away to catch food and find fresh water for him?

  Wan Qi Jinghou and Wen Baiyu sat outside, the weather was quite cool, but they were not deterred. Di Liang had already fallen asleep. When Wen Baiyu saw that the flames were being blown out, she added another handful of fire with a swoop of her hand, making it warm and cozy again.

  Wan Jie Jinghou took off his coat and handed it over to him. Wen Baiyu waved his hand and said, "You wear it yourself, I don't want it."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Then lean on me."

  Wen Baiyu leaned over happily, Wan Jingshou's body temperature was very high, a natural warm stove, plus the temperature of the fire heap, his whole body was warm and cozy.

  They had been sitting idly for a while when Wen Baiyu looked up and saw Xiao Hai sit up again.

  Wen Baiyu immediately pulled Wan Jingshou over to watch Xiao Hai's night raid together.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou had discovered the commotion early on, but wasn't as nosy as Wen Bai Yu.

  The white feathered curtain of the canopy bed was lifted up and looked over, because there were no screens, the movements inside could be seen clearly.

  Xiaohai carefully got up, sat for a while to make sure everyone was asleep, then slowly crawled to Diliang's side. He still had his mouth pursed into a line, almost sucking in his lips, before he lowered his head and briefly kissed Diliang's ear.

  After Xiao Hai finished, he seemed to be somewhat excited, with a flush on his pale face. He quickly ran over, but instead of immediately burying his head and sleeping, he sat in his own position, turned his head to look at Yi Feng and Zou Chengyi, seemingly lost in thought.

  Xiao Hai thought for a long time, then carefully crawled over and came to Di Liang's side, reaching out to touch him. Di Liang seemed to be exhausted and was sleeping very soundly.

  Xiao Hai reached out and pushed him gently, letting him lie flat, then silently laughed and stared intently at Di Liang's lips, touching his own lips again.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly wanted to laugh, it seemed that Xiao Hai was going to launch a sneak attack on Di Liang again.

  As expected, Xiao Hai puckered up his lips again and solemnly lowered his head to kiss Di Liang's lips.

  A brief touch, and Xiao Hai immediately lifted his head, with a flush of excitement on his face, but the smile on his face suddenly froze. Di Liang was staring at him with his eyes wide open, he didn't know when he opened them.

  Xiao Hai was startled and took two steps back, suddenly sitting down in his own seat, a bit flustered.

  Di Liang has sat up already.

  Wen Baiyu watched from outside, thinking to herself, "It's all over, I've been caught."

  Xiao Hai shrunk into a ball and didn't dare look at Di Liang. Di Liang looked at him, opened his mouth, and said: "Xiao Hai, you..."

  Just as he finished speaking, General Wan Xi Jing suddenly reached out and extinguished the burning fire, then said: "There's a sound."

  Yi Feng and Dong Hai had actually woken up early. Jiuling and Zou Chengyi also immediately woke up when they heard the sound of Wan Xi Jinghou extinguishing the bonfire.

  The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

  The sound of "shasha...... shasha......" came from a nearby place.

  It seemed like something was rubbing against the ground and crawling towards them. Its movements were very slow, unlike the previous fish head corpse.

  "The rustling... rustling..." sound continued to echo and was getting closer and closer, everyone came out of their tents.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou made a silencing gesture, signaling them not to move, and himself crouched down and moved forward quickly.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit tense, not knowing what that thing was. Just then, he saw Wan Jingshou stick to the wall and walk past, seemingly disappearing into the darkness. He vaguely saw Wan Jingshou's figure stop, as if waiting for something.

  "Shasha..."

  That thing was still crawling, towards them, just as it crawled out for a moment, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly rushed out.

  "Heh heh!"

  A loud croak similar to a frog's sounded, and Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat - it was Zongzi!

  The crowd chased from behind and saw a black shadow pouncing on Wan Jie Jing Hou. Wan Jie Jing Hou kicked the stone wall, borrowed force to jump up, and the shadow pounced over. Wan Jie Jing Hou happened to fall down, and one foot stepped on his back.

  Zongzi's reaction speed was not fast, and with a "bang" he was kicked to the ground by Wan Qi Jinghou. He struggled to get up, but at this time, the trident of Donghai suddenly appeared on his wrist, and with a "hiss" sound, it was inserted into the ground, pinning Zongzi's neck, making him unable to move.

  Because it was too dark, Di Liang couldn't see clearly where the trident came from and thought it was a weapon held by Donghai, absolutely unable to see that it was an inverted thorn on the back of his hand.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Zongzi struggling on the ground and said, "Wait a minute, his clothes?"

  As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes were fixed on the zongzi, which was wearing a black and blue outfit that was exactly the same as Di Liang's. However, the zongzi's clothes were tattered and covered in blood, with many places stained red.

  This zongzi doesn't have a badge on its chest, it's probably fallen off, but judging from the clothes, it must be someone from Di Liang's team.

  Di Liang was somewhat excited, thinking that his teammate was still alive. Wen Baiyu stopped him and said: "I advise you not to go over there, he's already dead."

  Di Liang said: "Dead? But he's still moving."

  Wen Baiyu shook his head and said: "The female corpse in the tomb will also move, for some reason, they all underwent corpse transformation, now your friend is completely unconscious."

  He said, the zongzi struggled, a roar came from his throat, and he was about to lift his head. Everyone saw that half of his face had been burned beyond recognition, looking extremely terrifying.

  The fingertips of the dumplings had also fallen off, and one bone was broken. The skin and flesh were gone, but a tendon remained, dangling from his hand.

  Di Liang felt a sour heart and couldn't accept it, Wen Baiyu patted his shoulder and said: "What we can do is to bury him."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and pressed it heavily on the forehead of the rice dumpling, which let out a loud "Keng" sound from its throat before falling to the ground motionless, as if it had died thoroughly, or perhaps it had never come back to life at all.

  The road was all stones, and there was no way to bury Di Liang's friend. Anyway, the tent had already been lacking for a long time, so they simply tore off a piece of the tent and wrapped up the body first.

  Everyone put the zongzi next to the tent, Wen Baiyu re-lit the fire, and suddenly the zongzi appeared, leaving people unprepared. Fortunately, it was resolved quickly, and this idea of zongzi is not serious after all.

  Everyone went back to their tents and continued sleeping.

  After this incident, Di Liang was even more out of sorts and had forgotten about Xiao Hai's matter from earlier.

  Xiao Hai let out a sigh of relief, but seeing Di Liang looking gloomy, Xiao Hai was also unhappy.

  Xiao Hai fortunately came out of the tent and sat beside the bonfire, poking at it with a branch.

  Wen Baiyu saw Xiao Hai frowning and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Hai, do you really like Di Liang?"

  Xiao Hai nodded and said, "Because he is handsome."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was speechless for a moment, pointing at Wan Kuang Jing Hou and saying: "Didn't you say he's also good-looking?"

  Xiaohai nodded again and said seriously: "Yes, he is also handsome."

  "What's wrong with him then?" asked Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and grasped Wen Bai Yu's finger, pointing at his own hand. Then he scratched the palm of his hand twice.

  Xiao Hai held up his cheek and said: "Because Di Liang was the first person I saw, he accompanied me for many years..."

  Wen Baiyu thought to Xiao Hai that this was an island under a glass cover, and this island was almost isolated from the world. There were no animals on the road, only dried fish heads. Xiao Hai didn't know how many years he had been trapped in this cover either.

  Xiao Hai said: "When you leave, will you really take me with you?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "That's natural."

  Xiao Hai suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Then I can still see Di Liang... but..."

  Xiaohai frowned again and said: "I was caught by Diliang when I secretly kissed him just now, he should dislike me."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I think it's not, you find a time to ask him."

  Xiao Hai scratched the stone floor with her fingers, her slender fingernails picking at the pebbles back and forth, saying: "I don't dare ask, I'm afraid if I ask, he won't let me follow him."

  Xiaohai fell asleep soon after, and Wen Baiyu picked him up and put him inside the tent before walking out.

  The sky was about to brighten up, and Wen Baiyu's spirit was still quite high. He had been leaning against Wan Kuanghou for half an hour with his eyes closed, and when the sky lit up, he got up.

  As soon as the sky brightened, everyone was about to set off again. First, they ate something. Suddenly, a gust of wind began to blow away the tent, and when he looked up, he saw that the cloth wrapped around the corpse had fallen to one side, seemingly not in the same position as last night.

  Yi Feng furrowed his brow, reached out and grabbed the cloth, shaking it violently.

  Everyone discovered his reaction, turned back to look, and couldn't help but take a cold breath. The cloth was rolled into a cylinder, and inside it was actually empty. After shaking it, there was nothing.

  The corpse ran away...

  Yesterday evening, the corpse was already lying down, it's absolutely impossible to get up again, how did it suddenly disappear and run away?

  Everyone immediately packed up and searched around, but found nothing.

  Di Liang suddenly said: "Have you seen Xiao Hai?"

  "Little Sea?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Wasn't he just here a moment ago?"

  Everyone suddenly became tense, Xiao Hai disappeared, and the corpse also disappeared. Xiao Hai's movements were very agile, but he never had any attacking power. Wen Baiyu was a little anxious at this moment.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly said: "You see."

  He said, pointing to the front corner of the wall. The crowd came over to take a look and found that there was actually a string of pink beads on the ground, each one as big as a thumb, scattered all over the floor.

  Although it was dark last night, there were absolutely no beads on the ground.

  Like pearls, pale pink, shining with a busy luster, scattered all over the ground, and those beads fell to the ground and pulled into a line, leading straight forward.

  Di Liang took a look and suddenly thought of Xiao Hai, saying: "Pearl? Is it Xiao Hai?"

  He said, squatting down to pick up those beads.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou blocked his way and said: "Don't move, it's poisonous."

  Wen Baiyu also lowered her head to look, those beads had not yet taken shape, at first glance they looked like pearls, but were actually water droplets that had fallen to the ground, emitting a faint fragrance, indeed poisonous.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised his eyes and looked forward, saying: "It's not a pearl, it's blood. Moreover, this blood is toxic, don't touch it... It should be Xiao Hai's."
