Chapter 97
The work of receiving new refugees continued until the evening. A total of 122 living people were rescued. Except for ten unconscious people, the remaining new people were divided into ten groups. The boy scouts led by only two boys were all children, and the others were mixed. Each group had their own fixed place, each led by an old man. They were both managed and monitored. The ten small battalions lined up in two rows like satellites, in the style of guarding. The distance between the camps was only about fifty meters, but everyone was told that they would not be allowed to go to other groups without any trouble.
The new people rescued after darkness followed the leader to their own camping site. The leader called the name and told him that he could rest. They relaxed from the double fatigue of the body and the mind, either sitting or lying down, some were thinking about their worries, while others had already planned to rest.
Several muffled sounds like thunder suddenly came from the sea. People were alarmed and got up to see what happened. In the distance, more than a dozen stars of various colors were arranged neatly and rising into the sky in turn.
Newcomers have never seen this before, and they don’t understand why the stars that always hang in the sky run. In their poor common sense, the celestial phenomena are always associated with some signs. Although so many stars move for no reason, their intuition does not seem to be a good omen. Faces clearly write the word surprise, and some even scream out.
The old people only saw fireworks show for the second time. But they believed that they had different identities and were unwilling to show curiosity and were underestimated. So they pretended to be used to it, and curled their lips to point out the newcomers in surprise. "What a panic, this is the fire meteor set by the gods. It's the beautiful one below." Before they finished speaking, more than a dozen stars exploded almost at the same time, and colorful magnificent flames bloomed in the air.
Everyone was stunned by this spectacular scene. Finally, they had the guarantee of taking the lead and did not turn around and run away. If the newcomers had only a general impression of this god before, they now realized what the concept of real supernatural powers was. Even the stars could be attracted at will, could other abilities be missing? The last bit of doubt in their hearts disappeared without a trace.
The gorgeous fireworks soon disappeared in the night sky. But the old people still stretched their necks to look into the sea. After a while, they suddenly shouted. "Sir, the immortals are back, get up to greet them quickly. Hurry up." There is no need for them to urge them. When they hear that they can see the gods on the island, who dares to be negligent? Everyone was in fear and trepidation. They knelt on the ground like the leader, their scalp firmly against the ground, and they didn't dare to show off.
After about a cup of tea, the sound of foot stepping on the sand came from the front. The brave one secretly rolled up his eyelids and saw only a few girls in gray robes surrounded by a tall white man. Because the distance was a bit far, the group of people were only holding two not-so-bright torches, so they could not see the man's face clearly. But their intuition told them that he must be a god. His wide robe and big sleeves and fluttering clothes were definitely not something ordinary people could pretend to be.
No one dared to look at it too much, and he did not forget to prick up his ears while burying his head deep. The rustling footsteps at night were particularly clear, and every step seemed to step on everyone's hearts.
The man did not stop and walked into the big tent slowly. The girls followed immediately. As the figure disappeared, he seemed to have taken away the majestic power. The pressure in everyone's heart was instantly taken away. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a moment, the sound of breathing sounds sounded in the crowd.
"Okay, get up." The leaders spoke one after another.
The newcomers climbed up and climbed, relaxing their tense and stiff muscles. Soon they found that two people could not bear the impact and fainted. Suddenly, there was chaos again.
The old people expressed their sense of superiority in their hearts in the tone of the people who have experienced it. "Look at your unpromising appearance, you are shocked? You haven't seen the sea beast of God. That's powerful, its body is longer than a street, and a living person is not enough to make it intertwined. That guy doesn't need to breathe when he roars. His eyes are bigger than a lantern, as bright as the sun. When he stares at you, you are like a blind man, and you can't see anything." Of course, they wouldn't say that these are just their guesses. In fact, no one has seen the true appearance of the so-called sea beast. But because of this, this topic has lasted forever. What the monster looks like, how tall and big is, where he lives, how the gods subdue it. Every question is about people's curiosity. Over time, it becomes more and more mysterious. What they are talking about is their recent discussion results.
The old people said it seriously, and the newcomers could not believe it. They couldn't help but splice the appearance of a sea beast in their hearts. Regardless of whether they think it is right or not, there is something that can be confirmed. The text is first released. Everything today will definitely be remembered in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
"But you don't have to be too scared. Lord Shenxian is usually a very approachable person and does not easily cast spells. He will still joke a few times when he is in a good mood. So as long as you have the chance to stay with sincerity."
At the same time, Quan Hao, who returned to the tent, was also having another conversation with his young followers.
"Have you prepared the results of your statistics?" he asked.
"It's done. There are 122 living refugees, 34 children, 39 adult women, 46 men, and three elderly people. Except for ten who are unconscious, we asked the others. Most of the families are farmers. Children have also done farm work since childhood. There are only four sailors who sailed boats, two shops, one tailor, and a zither. They are not locals across the sea, they all fled from neighboring provinces. I heard that the thieves there were even more troubles and occupied more than one province. The family really couldn't stay there. They were not the same group as us, but they also fled to the 'gulf', and were deceived by the high-ranking officials, and were thrown onto the boat after drinking medicine." Heye answered 110 times.
