Mermaid Reef

The survivors on the beach woke up one after another.

The memory of the ghost ship was like a hallucination, and they weren't even sure such an event had happened.

But there were bloodstains on the ground, and there were three people missing in the team.

"Mrs. Fennel and her granddaughter are missing."

"Oh, God……"

No one thinks that Cindy and Mrs. Fenier left by themselves. This desert island is full of dangers, and the thick fog has not yet cleared. How can a young girl have the courage to leave the group with her elderly grandmother?

"They were killed, something must have eaten them." A man broke down and said holding his head.

The corner of the first officer's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Of the two crew members who hid in the storage room with the first officer back then, only one of them was already dead, and the other crew member sneered directly and said, "That's not necessarily the case, you all underestimated that Miss Fenier."

"Are you saying that she is very accurate in Mucang technique?" asked another survivor.

"No."

The crew immediately spoke about the dust explosion.

A young and beautiful woman can walk alone through the corridor of the cabin full of broken corpses, knock on the door calmly, and then sprinkle flour in the narrow and closed cabin to set up a trap, and finally use the narrow passage of the cabin to lure the giant bird into the trap, jumping by herself Go up the gangway to escape the explosion.

"...Gentlemen, please think about it, can there be such a woman? This should be a witch!"

"It's ridiculous, how could there be witches, this is not the seventeenth century!"

Some survivors retorted angrily. This is an old gentleman with the appearance of a scholar. He once stood up and spoke when Cindy's grandmother Narukura frightened the crowd. He brought two bodyguards.

As the old scholar spoke, he found silence around him, looked around in surprise, and found that everyone had a hesitant expression.

Even those few female survivors.

"Wait? Do you really believe in witches?"

After a few seconds of silence, someone said hesitantly: "But... sir, we all saw the ghost ship, and some people saw the mermaid..."

Since all these things exist, isn't it normal for witches?

"Stupid, a witch would fight a giant bird with a hot weapon?"

"But they disappeared and ran away! If they died, we could at least see traces, bloodstains or pieces of clothes!" The crew member said excitedly, "This is not Sable Island at all, it is the hunting ground of the devil! The witch took us Brought here!"

"enough!"

The first mate stopped the frenzied roar.

The crew gasped unwillingly: "If the giant bird reappears, it is impossible to take the two of them and let us who are unconscious!"

"Even if it's like what you said... what if the devil grabs us cruelly, then puts us down, and sees us screaming and struggling with mutual suspicion, and then makes fun of it?" the old scholar asked sarcastically.

"You must have been bewitched by that old witch!" the crew yelled.

The old scholar's bodyguard was not so good-tempered. He took a step forward and glared at the crew viciously.

"You really don't know why Miss Fennel left? We have no food, no fresh water, and insufficient ammunition. Don't wait for the demons to come, someone will die tonight!" The matter was exposed.

Seeing everyone's terrified and suspicious expressions, the old scholar also felt a little regretful.

But at this point, self-deception is pointless.

"...According to the tradition, Miss Feinier doesn't have a reliable protector, and she still has a burden. If the devil is among us, the first thing to look at is lambs like them."

"There is no lamb that can kill the giant bird, she is a terrible witch!" the crew roared with straight necks.

"Witches can be killed at will, that's what you really want to say."

The old scholar saw through the fear hidden in the crew's heart at a glance, and the crew may not have discovered it.

——He was afraid of Miss Fenier, and worried that he would become a victim if he could not survive and needed to kill and eat meat. He was afraid that he would be like a giant bird, which was obviously powerful but fell into a trap and was injured for no reason, and was killed by the wooden barn.

"Stop arguing, you will attract monsters!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that strange figure that looked like a horse riding appeared in the thick fog in the distance.

The giant bird is coming!

"No, run away!"

The survivors fled in panic. They tried to tell the direction, but the thick fog blocked their sight.

The compass doesn't work, the magnetic field here is out of order.

Running, they found that the giant bird didn't seem to want to attack immediately, but followed them not too far away, at a distance where they could see the shadow but never showed their ferocious face.

People kept tripping over rocks and getting stuck in quicksand.

Several giant birds stopped to watch the injured person, and the person struggling and calling in the quicksand, as if suspecting that it was a trap.

"...They can communicate in language, and they know what happened on that ship." Gemil was observing these polluted creatures.

He is quick in action, able to communicate, has group awareness, and can run at high speed.

"Not smart enough," Jason added.

The giant birds watched their prey until the injured man insisted on getting up and running away, then they walked slowly to the quicksand area and pulled out the poor guy.

Hearing the screams behind them, the survivors were sweating profusely and ran even faster.

"No, because they have just been born. In fact, they are not familiar with the terrain of this island at all, and they are not even used to using such a tall body."

If the mutated ability can be fully utilized, there will not even be a living person left on that ship.

The question before Gemil is who "infected" these birds and what they want to do.

In normal times, not to mention Gemil, even Jason wouldn't care about such issues.

However, there was Gu Keluo's toss before, and the threat of the scorching sun god Tonatiu later, no one can tell what will happen next.

So the evil god observed the giant bird, and the giant bird followed the fleeing humans until they came to the lifesaving station on the island.

"The house is intact and unbroken."

"There are still lights in there!"

A house appeared from the thick fog, and it was impossible to see clearly from the second floor up. Two warm yellow lights were on the third floor.

The gray-white exterior wall seems to be poured with cement, and there are circles of irregular brown patterns on the exterior wall, which look very hazy in the fog.

"and many more!"

The pupils of the old scholar who was being carried away by two bodyguards in turn shrank suddenly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

The bodyguard immediately slowed down, but the others ignored his words, especially the crew member who had quarreled with him, was the first to rush to the front of the house, and threw himself directly on the gray-white gate without thinking.

"Help……"

The voices of the crew stopped abruptly.

He looked down at his palm, why is the door soft?

Then he flew high.

There was a big hole pierced through the chest, like a tuna hanging from a harpoon.

People watched in horror as a huge off-white chainsaw protruded from the "house", piercing directly through the prey.

"That's a monster!" The old scholar shouted hoarsely. "Look carefully at the roof. How can there be a house with windows suspended on the roof?"

"...Isn't that the third floor?"

The fog is too thick, and only if you get close enough, you will find that it is not that the second floor is flooded by fog, or that there is no second floor at all.

The two windows above the "house" were opened, and two black eye-stalks "popped" out of the glowing eyes, watching the prey that came to the door in horror.

"Professor Luolai, is this a snail?" the bodyguard stammered.

"I guess so."

The old scholar replied blankly, and the bodyguard ran away carrying him.

The crew member was rolled up by the snail's toothed tongue, and he screamed, before being sent into the dark "gate", there was no sound.

Everyone's mind went blank, and they fled subconsciously.

This giant snail obviously inherited the characteristic of slow movement. When it finished eating the prey in its mouth, everyone else ran out of its hunting range, and it slowly lay down on the ground again.

"Island of the devil! The devil is playing tricks on us!"

Some people couldn't bear the pressure and went crazy, laughing strangely.

The others also lost their strength and sat slumped on the ground.

The giant bird that had been following them seemed afraid to approach this side, and seemed to know that there was a big guy they couldn't resist.

The survivors chattered their teeth: "The monster disguised itself as a house..."

"Don't be silly. A snail walks on the ground. When it is magnified many times, it looks like a house. We didn't see it clearly." The first officer said sullenly.

Those words comforted no one, including himself.

"I don't understand, what do these monsters eat?" the old scholar murmured.

With a huge body, there must be a terrifying appetite, but this is a desert island!

***

Jason stood on the back of the giant snail and tapped the sole of his foot with his sapphire cane.

"Tuk Tuk."

A little hard?

Jason tapped again, and with a snap, a small piece of the shell cracked.

The snail, who didn't realize it at first, suddenly raised its body, and the height of the "house" rose a bit. The two eye-stalks twisted, and the eyes were bright, staring fiercely at the extra "worm" on the back.

It fell backwards, its shell slamming hard to the ground.

Jason's figure blurred for a moment, and he appeared in another position, silently watching the giant snail rolling angrily on the spot.

In the area where the snail used to occupy, there were bloody and broken fur in the crevices of the stone.

"It's its food, maybe a mouse." Gemil judged.

Jason added: "The giant rat after the mutation."

Gemil felt that the snail was very thoughtful, and it was hunting on the giant mouse's nest.

At this time, the snail's body had completely moved away from its position. At this time, a faint breath came from under the stone crack covered by fur.

"Wait, it's here!"

Gemil casually tossed the giant snail for miles, and another gust of wind swept away the shredded fur.

The crowd in the distance couldn't see Jensen and Gemil appearing in the thick fog, but only heard the rumbling movement, and could only drag their sore and weak legs to run for their lives again.

"Toth's house is broken."

Gemil stood in front of the dark crack and glanced down.

The rock palace should have been hundreds of meters deep, but this crack went straight to the former residence of Thoth, the god of wisdom.

The source of the pollution has been found.

The first to be attacked by evil forces should be the rats and insects brought to the island by humans. They killed each other, discovered the source of the breath, and scrambled to occupy it.

In the process, lifeguards and horses on Sable Island were killed.

Then there are the flocks of birds that inadvertently land on the island.

And finally the hapless Elizabeth.

"This crack has been formed for less than seven days."

Gemil looked at Jensen, and Jensen looked at Gemil.

What's the biggest thing shaking the mystical realm these days?Of course it's time to fight in the sewers and wake up all the evil gods!

"The house of the God of Wisdom is so bad? It was destroyed like this?" Jason couldn't believe it.

"No, something came out of it."

Gemil said immediately.

For some reason, there is a newborn evil god in the home of the god of wisdom Thoth. After a traffic accident occurred in the dream realm, the impact of dreams from other evil gods gave birth to that guy's self-awareness, and he suddenly woke up.

After hearing this speculation, Jason looked puzzled.

"This...could it be the heir of Thoth?"

"The God of Wisdom has no descendants. In fact, this feels more like..."

Discarded garbage metamorphoses itself.

Gemil pondered and said: "I remembered one thing. Thoth seriously studied how to create the same kind, and simulated many conditions, but in the end it still failed."

It's hard for Jason to understand. Shouldn't the easiest way to get the same kind of people be to find allies, or find allies to have children?What is the idea of ​​making evil gods by hand?

Gemil said indifferently: "Because he is Thoth, he was born to like to think about how a thing was born, what its essence is, and why it exists... evil gods are no exception!"

Gemil reached out his hand into the crack, and the entire Sable Island immediately shook violently.

"No, I can't get in. The new guy probably smashed Toth's house in order to leave here. The hole here is the biggest and can't be touched anymore... The rock palace now rejects all the power of evil gods. Forcibly breaking in will destroy the rock The structure of the palace."

Gemil would not be happy with that, and this singing mobile island is pretty good.

Poseidon grabbed back the snail that was struggling to climb back, pressed the brainless snail against the crack, and blocked the outflowing breath again.

"Find an investigator to go in through the main entrance of the Rock Palace."

There just happened to be one on the island.
