Chapter 173 Thick Fog Disperses

It's strange to think that when I came out of Lop Nur, I vowed never to go to any more ruins, but after I really experienced those things, I would feel boring after living a plain life.

In addition, Grandpa's matter has not been resolved, so this trip to the ruins island will be an important step in the whole game, and no wonder I will be a little excited.

When we arrived at the port, there was a cloudless clear sky in front of us, and there was a blue ocean in the distance, but there was a thick snow layer on the beach. Only in the area washed away by the waves could we see a little yellow sand.

I saw the somewhat dilapidated fishing boat, which still looked rusty and full of vicissitudes.

At this time, Nobita pointed to the front of the boat and said, "There seems to be a man there."

We looked in the direction he pointed and saw a woman in black sitting on the trestle under the bow.

"It's her!" The village head's tone seemed a little surprised.

Needless to say, I can also see that the woman in black is the witch in the village, that is, the woman who has a mysterious relationship with Yuchen.

What is she doing here? We all have such a question in our hearts.

So we walked over, stepped on the snow, and came to the trestle.

The woman obviously heard our footsteps, moved her back to us, and then stood up from the trestle.

She has a thin veil on her face and can't see her expression clearly.

But the dark brown eyes looked at us a little indifferently, and then said, "Are you going to the ruins of Durban City? I want to go together."

This is very plain, like a command, with an unquestionable taste.

Daxiong hated Yuting very much, so he didn't have a good impression on this woman. Hearing her say this, he immediately became unhappy. He stepped forward and said, "Who are you? Where do you want to take you to save you? Where can I put my face?"

After saying that, he waved to us and said, "Don't pay attention to her. Let's go. Let's get on the boat."

As Nobita spoke, he walked to the boat ladder, but after a few steps, he found that we were all standing still.

Because we have seen it for a long time, the village head's expression seems to be a little strange.

The village head frowned deeply, thought for a long time, scratched his bald forehead and said, "Witch, have you finally decided to intervene in this matter?"

The village head's tone is very respectful, and it is obvious that the status of the witch is much higher than that of him.

Although I have also heard from Mrs. Rabilović that the witch is the highest-ranking person in the village. Every year, she presides over all the religious activities in the village. In the New Year, everyone will bring tributes to the witch and ask her to bless the village.

Although I don't doubt these rituals, the witch was too low-key from the beginning.

In other words, there is no leadership at all, so I have been ignoring her.

Now that she has stood up, the village head can only listen to her.

The witch in black veil heard the village head ask him, but did not answer at all, but turned around and walked to the boat.

Nobita looked at the woman in black who was so rude and wanted to say something else.

I grabbed him and said, "Stop talking, you will die if you say less."

Nobita got on the boat with aggrieved face and a thick neck.

When the woman in black got on the boat, Daxiong whispered to me, "Look, I have to find an opportunity to let this little woman know how powerful I am."

I didn't encourage him or stop him, I just smiled.

The boat set sail quickly.

We finally rode the wind and waves, crossed the ocean, and set out in the direction of the ruins island.

It is said that it is hundreds of nautical miles away, but it only takes more than an hour by boat.

When we arrived at the ruins island, we all boarded the deck and looked at the island in the distance without saying anything.

The relic island in front of us is still lying on the sea so silently. From a distance, it looks like being submerged by the smoke waves on the sea, which is a little inconspicuous.

What Daxiong and I are most concerned about is whether the fog on the ruins island has dissipated.

If the fog has not dissipated, we will run away in vain this time.

But when we arrived near the ruins island, we were still disappointed.

The fog on the island is still so thick, as if it has never changed.

Only the snow on the coast indicates that the heavy snow hit the island a few days ago.

Andre laughed when he saw such a scene.

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "How's it going? I said you can't be in a hurry..."

I even looked a little gloating, as if he didn't want to go to the ruins island at all.

The more I look at this Andre, the more weird I feel.

However, Andrea didn't know what I thought. When he saw the thick fog on the island, he said to the village head, "Take the boat back."

At this time, Nobita quit and pulled Andre and said, "No! No way! How can you just leave when you are here? What's wrong with the thick fog? I don't believe it in broad daylight. I have to go to the island to have a look. After saying that, Nobita will jump into the sea.

Andre hurriedly grabbed him, but how could an old man pull a fat man more than 19 meters?

I saw Nobita exerting his strength and rubbing against the side of the boat little by little.

Although I know that Nobita is anxious and shouldn't have gone up to pull him, it's not good not to give Andre face. After all, he is all for our good.

So I was ready to pull Daxiong, but at this time, I accidentally glanced sideways.

The woman in black stood in the cabin and did not come out, and she held a crystal skull in her hand, which seemed to be saying something.

When I looked at the woman in black and looked at the ruins island, I found that the thick fog gradually became thinner.

That is really thinning at a speed discernable by the naked eye, and those buildings hidden in the thick fog slowly become clear.

So I came forward and grabbed Nobita and said, "Look! Look at the island!"

Nobita and Andre looked up at the island together, and then were shocked at the same time.

Andre was stunned for a long time and said, "It seems that we have come at the right time..."

At this time, I couldn't help looking back at the woman in black. She had hidden the crystal skeleton and was looking up at me.

I didn't want to think that I exposed her, so I hurriedly looked aside.

At this time, I only heard an ordinary sound, and a * sound of falling into the water sounded from my ear.

I looked back and saw that Nobita finally jumped into the sea, which showed how excited he was.

Andre looked at Nobita struggling to swim on the sea and smiled helplessly.

When our ship arrived at the ruins island, the thick fog had almost completely dispersed, and the buildings of the whole ruins island appeared in front of us.

At this time, I was really shocked to see the overlapping broken walls built on a hill about 500 meters high, layer by layer.

Although the fog has not completely dissipated, although there are only collapsed houses and sculptures left in those magnificent buildings, the streets, markets, altars, and even the Colosseum are all present in front of us.

, and the dilapidated lighthouse we saw before stands at the highest point of the hillside.

I can imagine how prosperous it would be when thousands of lights on this hill illuminated the whole sea.

We seem to have found another ancient Roman Empire, with black walls telling its glory.

Everyone was stunned. Only Andre remained calm. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? It used to be very brilliant here. What we see now is only the buildings of the earthly world, and under this mound, almost the whole mountain has been hollowed out. The underground world is more complex, and it is the concentration of royal power. What we are looking for is inside.

When he said this, we all became interested.

Nobita first asked, "Is there a lot of babies below?" ...Oh, no, I mean cultural relics."

I interrupted Nobita and said, "But are the buildings underground full of danger?"

Andre nodded and said, "In those years, I almost died here. In retrospect, it was 20 years ago."
