Chapter 116 Bronze Statue (two in one)

"Huh? In my impression, there is indeed an island near Liuhua Port. You can also see it across the sea from a promontory. It is estimated that the distance will not be too far. How come it has not docked after driving for about an hour?" Li Nuowei

I am deeply puzzled. As someone who grew up in Lihuagang,

Citizen, he has an impression of the island that Drake mentioned. Although he has never had the opportunity to land on the island, based on his estimation of the distance and the power of this speedboat, even if he drives slowly for safety

If we lose speed, we should be docking in half an hour.

"Look at the radar and other reconnaissance instruments?" Drake also felt the strangeness of the fog.

Li Nuowei frowned and said: "I have seen it. The radar is currently calm and there is no response from other reconnaissance instruments. Although this level of heavy fog will interfere with the instruments to a certain extent, it will not cause any response at all.

…It was as if we had veered off course and sailed into the sea where there was nothing for several kilometers, not even a fish in the sea.”

As soon as they finished speaking, the two heard the sound on the reconnaissance instrument, and a signal source appeared within the reconnaissance range of their ship.

"It seems to be a signal from another ship." said Li Nuowei.

"Come closer and take a look." Drake said, and he turned around to prepare weapons. There were some fishing and fishing equipment on the boat, and even strange prohibited equipment such as machetes and fishing guns.

The owner of this speedboat is probably an experienced fisherman.

Li Nuowei and Drake were already fully armed. Seeing the speedboat getting closer to the signal source, they only felt that the temperature of the sea air had dropped a few degrees, and the soles of their feet felt cold.

However, when the speedboat was about to arrive near the signal source, neither Lee Noway nor Drake saw a complete ship. They only saw the wreckage of the yacht that had been torn into pieces by some terrible force, and two bodies.

Corpses that had been bitten beyond recognition were floating on the sea along with the wreckage of the ship.

Drake braved the courage to go to the side of the ship to take a look, and recognized the identities of the two floating corpses. They were all dressed in black and had the unique organizational marks of the Mysterious Agents on their clothes. They were the Mysterious Agents who landed on the island first to investigate, but

Poor guy died here.

There were no waves on the sea at the moment, but Drake still felt the coolness of a cold wind, which spread from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body, freezing his cursed and transforming body.

Although he didn't know what the two dead occult detectives had experienced during their lifetimes, their rotten faces that had been bitten by unknown creatures still showed the look of fear.

Drake thought of the damn group of murlocs that had appeared in his nightmares. Only those sluggish, blind and terrifying guys could cause such destructive power. The two unlucky guys who fell into the sea were surrounded by those murlocs.

They were entangled, bitten and chewed to pieces by their sharp saws, their skin and flesh were ripped open, their internal organs were hollowed out, and the sea was dyed red with blood...

He gritted his teeth, saliva and blood seeping from between his teeth.

"Drake! Look ahead!" Just when Derek was wandering in his bloody thoughts, Li Novi's voice woke him up, and he broke into a cold sweat. He was annoyed at what he was thinking, but his eyes were subconscious.

He followed Li Nuowei's prompt and looked over.

I saw a huge black shadow hiding behind the white mist in the vast fog on the sea. It seemed like a terrifying crouching beast lurking on the sea, but its majestic and huge body could not be completely covered by the sea.

Cover, that is the part of its body exposed on the sea.

Drake couldn't help but think of the giant fish-man that appeared in his nightmares, the giant beast from the sky that his fanatics considered to be the "God of Anhai".

He tightened his grip on the fishing gun in his hand and stared straight ahead with his yellow eyes, feeling that the black image was moving or not.

The speedboat moved forward and cleared the fog. Drake slowly took a breath because he saw the beach. It turned out that the black shadow he saw in front of him was an island, and that was the island he and Li Nuowe were going to land on.

The speedboat docked, and Drake and Lee Noway got off the boat with weapons in hand. They stood at the dock of the island and looked at the silent island. The uneasiness in their hearts rose and fell again, as if they had heard the last ten seconds of hide-and-seek.

Countdown, heart-pounding.

Stepping onto the island, Drake saw several series of human footprints and unknown reptile footprints on the road. Judging from the footprints left on the beach, it was not difficult to guess that the "animals" had webbed structures.

, it’s that group of fishmen.

Li Nuowei and Derek looked at each other in silence. They could already feel the mood of the mysterious detectives who came to the island to investigate from the messy and dense footsteps on the beach. When faced with such a dense group of alien monsters that surrounded and attacked them, they must have

Even veteran detectives who have experienced great storms will be disturbed by this.

There is another reason why they dare not speak. They are afraid that the group of fishmen who have landed on the island will still linger on the island. The seemingly dull and devilish group of fishmen may be quite cunning and cunning, and they may still be hiding in the dark corners of the island.

Looking for traces of strangers, if they are unfortunately discovered, they will suffer the same fate as the two floating corpses they saw on the sea.

But after they walked around the island for more than ten minutes without encountering any fish-men, the two of them relaxed their tense hearts.

The island seems to have experienced an earthquake of unknown origin. Many buildings on the island have collapsed, with broken tiles and bricks everywhere, and dilapidated walls standing on top of the ruins like scarecrows in dry fields.

"Did there be an earthquake here?" Li Nuowei picked up a wet wall brick. It was heavy and hard.

Drake had a different view on this, saying: "Maybe it wasn't an earthquake, it looked like something had stepped on it."

"Step on?" Li Nuowei scratched his scalp that suddenly became itchy, "Has the God of An Hai woke up?"

"I'm afraid not." Drake said with a heavy expression. "Although this one is big, it feels like it's not enough. And I still remember what the taxi driver said, that nursery rhyme said... the stars have returned."

At that time, it will wake up from its slumber and break through the seal, but it's obviously not that time yet."

Hearing this, Li Nuowei was silent for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. If everything here is really trampled to pieces, then according to my previous experience, the shadows I saw in the fog should indeed be

It's bigger, after all, it's a guy who can stir up the sea water and create tsunamis just by moving on the sea surface.

Although this giant beast that can crush houses is huge enough, compared with that thing, it may be much inferior."

Drake laughed dryly and said feebly: "This is really a confusing fact. I remember you said you wanted to 'slay the gods'. Is this really something we can deal with manually?"

"You have to find a way to try." Li Nuowei didn't have much entanglement on this. He looked at the other party with a funny look and said, "I, a person who has died thousands of times, have never thought about giving up, but you are already thinking that it is impossible.

Is it done?"

"I just can't think of a way." Derek shook his head.

Li Nuowei smiled and said: "I will think of a way. Just keep living with hope."

Drake looked at Li Nuowei, who always showed a naturally confident look, and felt inexplicably convinced and reassured, but he didn't say anything and just continued walking among the ruins with Li Nuowei.

Not long after, Li Nuowei and Drake discovered a dilapidated ancestral hall.

The statue of the Dragon King enshrined in the ancestral hall fell into pieces after an accident. However, the strange thing is that the inside of the broken statue was not empty, but another bronze statue of a fishman, which was more beautiful in shape.

Like the God of Anhai in Drake's memory.

If it were just a bronze statue of the God of Anhai, neither Drake nor Li Nuowe would be too surprised. However, what makes one's pores tremble is that the bronze statue seems to be alive, with countless things crawling on its body.

Densely packed black eggs stared at them like crabs' eyes.

Some of the fleshy eggs have burst open, and unknown soft-bodied fleshworms emerge from the thick slurry flowing out from the inside and pupate outside.

"That's disgusting." Derek's entire face wrinkled up in disgust, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Although Li Nuowei was also disgusted, his expression was more of a calm observation, and then he said: "Those things are probably crab leeches, a parasite that lives on fish, crabs and other marine organisms."

"I know those are parasites, but why are they parasitic on the bronze statue? Parasites parasitize on dead things, don't they parasitize a lonely person? And they are still alive and hatched." Drake was curious.

ask.

Li Nuowei: "I don't know, that bronze statue may have some special power."

"Is it possible that the bronze statue is alive?" Drake guessed that he had encountered too many strange things, and he was now trying to put aside his inherent three views to think and reason.

Li Nuowei: "It's possible. Do you want to try burning it?"

Derek glanced at him and agreed: "Then give it a try."

Immediately afterwards, the two found dry cloth from other places in the ancestral hall, and found oil lamps, matches, candles, etc. from under the shrine. They used them to make simple torches. Drake poured kerosene on the bronze statue.

Then he piled dry firewood around the bronze statue and lit them on fire.

boom!

The raging fire immediately wrapped around the bronze statue. The bronze statue was bathed in fire, and the crabs and leeches covering its body were shrunk and curled up silently in the fire, and finally turned into charcoal.

The strong smell of kerosene smoke entered the noses of Li Nuowei and Drake. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the west. The surrounding trees were blown and swayed, the leaves made a rustling sound, and the cracks in the ruins made a sound.

The strange sound was like the scream of some kind of creature dying tragically, and the fire on the bronze statue was quickly blown away by the wind.

The wind dispersed and the fire dissipated, but Li Nuowei and Drake saw a scene that made their scalps numb.

I saw that the already hateful-looking bronze statue of the fish man took on a completely different posture at this time. It showed a ferocious look with fangs, its body was burnt and black, and its posture was curled up in a weird way. It crawled out half of the statue of the Dragon King.

body.

They have been looking at the bronze fish-man statue that was burned by the fire, but they have never seen any other movements of the bronze fish-man statue, and they are also very sure that their memories are not wrong. The bronze fish-man statue is indeed

There were different changes after being burned by the fire, which proves the fact that the "bronze statue" may be alive, because if it is a real bronze statue, it is impossible for such a level of flames to burn the bronze statue out of shape.

Based on his instinctive reaction to fearful things, in order to confirm that the creature disguised as a bronze statue was really dead, Drake picked up a piece of brick and hit the bronze statue with great accuracy.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and the bronze statue was broken into several pieces and scattered. Each piece exuded the smell of roasted colloid and a faint smell of poisonous plastic.

The unpleasant smell made the two of them cover their mouths and noses. After seeing the internal structure of the bronze statue, they finally confirmed that the bronze statue was a kind of creature.

They couldn't help but feel lucky, maybe the bronze statue had been sleeping all the time, so they didn't notice that they were hurting it, so they didn't suffer any harm when they set fire to each other.

"It's such a curious and insidious thing." Derek wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then the two carefully investigated the ancestral hall and found an entrance to the tunnel in the woodshed behind the ancestral hall. However, after opening the entrance, they found that the tunnel had been sealed by collapsed stones. They quickly guessed that someone had deliberately bombed it.

This tunnel was destroyed, and this was probably the work of the mysterious detectives who landed on the island.

The houses here have obviously been investigated by the occult detectives, and there is not much value in continuing the investigation.
To be continued...
