Chapter 174 Island

Seeing Andrea's lingering expression, we guess that the last time he came here must not be a pleasant experience.

It's right to think about it. If the operation goes well, I don't think he will need us.

Nobita was obviously very curious about Andre's last experience, so he asked, "Professor, can you tell us what happened last time?"

Andre frowned, thought back for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "It's hard to say. As we walked, I almost died that time."

After saying that, Andre looked up at the black royal city in front of him, which seriously gave birth to a strange light.

He looked up, took a deep breath, and then walked up the hill.

We hurriedly followed, because the mist had not dissipated. There were many houses in the royal city on the hill, and the streets were naturally very complicated. If we didn't keep up, we would disperse.

The village head waved to us behind us and shouted, "From today on, I will wait for you here at dusk every day. If you encounter any danger, remember to come back here!"

I know that the village head is worried about us, because there are too many legends about the ruins island.

So I also waved to the village head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After waving my hand, I turned around and just wanted to follow. Suddenly, I saw a veiled face almost nose to nose, which scared me.

But I recognized that this was the mysterious witch, and the strange fragrance on her body rushed into my nose.

I moved my face away from her face, breathed a breath, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You saw it, didn't you?" The witch's Chinese is still not very authentic.

I was stunned for a moment and said that she was definitely asking me what had happened in the cabin before, so I pretended to be stupid and said, "I didn't see anything."

The witch stood there staring at me with cold eyes.

When I saw her like this, I stammed a little and said, "I... I'm leaving. If you don't follow me, I won't look for you later!"

After saying that, I walked quickly towards the shadow in front of me, and the witch's voice came from behind: "If you dare to tell others, I have many ways to cure you."

When I heard this cold voice, I couldn't help but feel a little cold on my back, and I don't know how this woman practiced this kind of chilling kung fu.

We walked along the beach and passed the cylindrical warehouses built on the beach. Far ahead were stone steps. Two huge sculptures formed the door to the depths of the royal city.

The sculpture is about seven or eight meters high and is a warrior in armor. The style of the armor is a bit like the dress of an ancient Western heavy armored knight, but there are some hanging spike-like decorations where the helmet is close to the cheeks.

The statue is carved from a huge black sea stone, with thick lines, but it highlights the muscle lines on the warrior's arms, which is extremely powerful.

Obviously, this country must have experienced many wars before, so this powerful sculpture is used as the door god, which reminds me of the war sculpture of ancient Greece.

The erosion of the years makes the face of these statues unclear, and the lower body of the statues is still hidden in the fog, which is far away from a little unclear.

However, I still found that on the foreheads of the two sculptures, there is a hole about the size of a fist, which is irregularly oval, and I don't know what it is for.

We were not in a hurry to climb the steps, but stood still and looked at the road above.

Andre said to us at this time, "The thick fog has just dissipated, and the sea women may not have completely retreated, and you also saw the wounds on those sea women last time, so you have to be more careful this time. The people behind must follow closely. It will be very troublesome to be left alone. There are countless strange things in this royal city. It's far beyond your imagination."

We all nodded. Although it was broad daylight, we still turned on the flashlight so that we could recognize each other's positions in the fog later.

After saying this, Andrea took all of us and continued to walk forward.

I took a few steps forward and found that Lauren behind me did not follow, but tried to smell something on the ground.

Since landing on the island, Lauren has been very quiet, constantly sniffing the ground with her nose.

I knew it was eager to find the owner's clue, so I sniffed desperately.

And at this moment, it seems to have found something.

So I used the simple plastic flashlight in my hand to shine on the ground and found that there was nothing on the ground.

Seeing that the people in front of me had gone far away, I clapped my hands and said, "Laren, follow me!"

Lauren seemed to understand what I said and smelled it on the ground, so she ran to me as if she couldn't let go.

We walked carefully forward, stepped over the stones that fell from the top of the mountain, and walked to the bottom of the two statues.

The seven- or eight-meter-high statue is already very majestic. Standing under them, you will feel the grandeur of the royal city.

At this time, Nobita asked curiously, "Professor, what are these two statues?"

Andre looked up and said, "I don't know the details, but you can take a look. Although these two sculptures have a human body and a long sword in hand, they have a fish tail. I think this is a worship of the sea by the ancients."

When he said this, we all looked at the bottom of the statue. In the hazy fog, we saw that the two statues had no legs, instead of a black shadow rising back.

I looked closely curiously and saw that the tail of the fish was not an ordinary fish, not only without scales, but also forked, so it was either a dolphin or a whale's tail.

At this time, I pointed to the forehead of the two statues and said, "What is the small hole in their forehead?"

Andre looked up and said, "These are two lamp holes. There used to be lights in the hole."

In fact, I don't understand. Generally, the holes in this kind of statue are used to put lamps, but the holes in the lamps are generally in a relatively regular shape. This kind of oval irregular hole does not seem to be weathered, and I always feel a little strange.

But now it is a waste of time to investigate such a meaningless thing, so we walked over from the two similarly weathered swords in the hands of the statue and climbed the broken stone steps.

The stone platform is still quite long, and the slope is steep, so that we can't see any buildings built on it when climbing the steps.

On both sides of the steps are small buildings with a large drop. It used to be a place where ordinary residents lived, but now they are wrapped in fog, occasionally revealing a broken wall. Obviously, this should be the place most damaged by the tsunami.

As I walked up, I asked Andrea, "Mr. Andre, you just said that the place we are looking for is in the underground of this royal city, so where are we going down?"

Andre did not look back at me, but said to me in a low tone, "Don't worry, there are only a few entrances to the dungeon. We don't want to go down from there. We won't go forward for a long time, it's the ruins of the Royal City Grand Theatre, where there is an entrance, from which I went down. But we used explosives to deal with sea girls in the passage, so this passage is now closed. We need to go straight along the street and go near the lighthouse to have a look. I didn't go to the lighthouse last time. Maybe I found something else this time.

He slowed down and said, "And under the lighthouse, it is the royal city. There are many books in the library next to the royal city. Although after so many years, these books made of brown paper have all been rotten, I can't guarantee that there are any other clues there, such as stone carvings or mural collections. "

Of course, we have no objection to Andre's suggestion, after all, he knows it better than us.

After climbing up the steps for 30 or 40 meters, we already feel a little tired, and the scenery on both sides does not seem to have changed. It is still those dilapidated houses and the long-lingering mist.

I felt a little bored. I took out my mobile phone and looked at it. Half an hour had passed, and we still got nothing.

At this time, I looked up and heard a buzzing sound in front of my face, as if a fly flew by.

"Strange? Why are there flies here?" I was thinking about it when suddenly Lauren shouted manicly in front of me and ran forward quickly.

I didn't have time to hold it, so I shouted, "Laren! Come back!"

Laren didn't listen to me and rushed into the mist in front of her.

And we also saw from afar at this time. Far ahead, there seemed to be a huge black image floating over like a rag, making a humming sound.

"What is that? A group of flies?" I was a little puzzled when I said to myself.

Several other people have obviously seen such a situation.

Especially Liang Qian, who was walking in front of me, now she turned around and looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.

Then she touched her backpack and took out something wrapped in red cloth.

I know it's a unicorn bone incense burner. Liang Qian used to use this to avoid poisonous insects, but now she guess she will use this again.
