Pirate's Swamp Fruit

Chapter 233 Chapter 231

Soon, the news about a terrifying sea monster appearing near the sea quickly spread throughout the pier, and everyone talked about it, talking about the sea monster.

"It is said that the sea monster has eight tentacles like sickles, and it grabbed a sea king that was bigger than a mountain. With a light twist, the sea king was twisted into pieces."

"I know, I felt something was wrong the day before yesterday. That day I saw a huge shadow swimming past the deep sea from a distance. It seems to be the sea monster you mentioned."

"I heard that the sea monster has eight heads."

"I heard it has eight human feet, and it's a fish with a human face."

As the rumors became more and more exaggerated, Kakaro and the others at the pier gave Wilder a strange look, and murmured, "I may know the sea monster everyone is talking about. He does have a human face and human feet."

"Are you going to stand here forever?" Wilde glanced at the few people, and then they came back to their senses, Kakaro coughed a few times in embarrassment, "Then Mr. Wilde plans to be with us...? "

"No, you guys go shopping, I'm shopping around the island." Wilder said and walked towards the island, leaving Kakaro's back.

Looking at each other, Kakaro waved his hand, "Let's go, hurry up and get the supplies back, and then set off early, I have no choice but to arrive at the capital of the seven waters, and then go back, I swear, I never want to deal with this man again gone."

The other navies nodded in sympathy. Wilder was a beast and a lunatic in their hearts, and it was better to stay away.

Wilder stepped on the huge stone floor that was full of primitive features and was hewn out by hand one by one, and walked at a leisurely pace.

There is moss between the stones, and the houses on both sides are also made of wood and stones, covered with green vines and other plants. As you walk away from the bustling city, the surroundings gradually become quiet, with only occasional sporadic few Small courtyards are dotted on both sides of the path that gradually turns into dirt, and dense forests appear above the line of sight.

Occasionally, a few indigenous people carrying working tools would pass by, and they would look at Wilder curiously.

Wilder intends to find someone to ask about the situation. The legend about this island is just a description of one or two sentences he read from a tree. Let alone whether there is such a monster, even if there is, it must first Knowing where the monster lives is the only way to meet it.

Just at this time, an old man was leaning against the gate of the yard, smoking a cigarette with a special shape, and there were several young and strong men talking to him around him. From the yard behind him, it was obvious that the old man was a highly respected person in charge, newcomer , What kind of question is it to ask such a person is the most appropriate, old age is destined to make them know more old things than young people.

Putting on a gentle smile, Wilde walked up. At this time, the old man and several young people who were chatting outside the yard also saw Wilde coming, and they all turned around and looked at him with a little bit of guard in doubt.

"Hello, I am a traveler."

"Suoga!" Several people lowered their vigilance, scratched their heads and looked at Wilder, "What's the matter?"

The simple and innocent behavior made Wilder smile even more, and went straight to the point, "I've heard the legend about the monsters on the Aboriginal island, and I'm very interested in it, and I want to know more about it."

"Oh, you said that, that is not a legend, it is real." The old man said while smoking a cigarette in a dull and boring way, "although no one has seen his appearance, because everyone who has seen him is dead. .”

Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Wilder, "You want to enter the forest? Then I have to warn you, don't go east. This is my advice to you, an outsider traveler."

Wilder smiled inwardly, but on the surface he looked puzzled, "Why?"

"Because of the legend you said, its lair is in the innermost part of the forest. I can't guarantee that it will run from the innermost to the outermost, but I can be sure that you will not encounter it in other directions. Yes, because it is a valley with some cliffs, its huge body is destined to make it impossible for it to pass through the cracks of the valley freely like humans, so if you really want to go to the east, you should stop outside the valley in the end."

"Oh, thank you so much, your advice is very useful." Wilde took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the old man, "Maybe you can try this, it's my thank you gift, he smokes more than you This may... be better, but not necessarily."

The old man reached out to take it, staring at the cigarette in his hand with bright eyes, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will show you another news with mercy, although everyone who saw that monster died, But it doesn't mean that people don't know what it looks like at all. At least I was lucky enough to see it when I was young. Of course, it was just a quick glance, so I can live. You know that everyone who saw it for real is dead. And this is the reason why I can live to be 85 today, am I surprised? The secret of my longevity is a secret, I can’t tell you this.”

Wilde watched the old man chattering without interrupting, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the young people next to him couldn't help it, grabbed the old man's hand curiously and excitedly and shook it, "Grandpa Baika , have you really seen the appearance of that monster when you were young? What does it look like?"

The old man known as Baika was so shaken that his eyes turned white, and he almost died on the spot, "Get out! Stop! Stop! Damn you!"

The young man was very excited for a while, but he also realized that the old man Baika was about to be shaken to death by himself, so he quickly let go of his hand, stood aside and said anxiously: "Grandpa Baika, tell me quickly, what does that monster look like?"

Bai Ka glared at him fiercely, snorted coldly, and casually raised the cigarette rod in his hand and smoked it at him. When he was about to draw it, he remembered something, stopped immediately, looked at the cigarette rod, and found that it was in good condition. Wushang heaved a sigh of relief, glared at him again, and said slowly.

"When I was young, I was like you now. I was curious about what the monster said by the adults looked like. One day I made up my mind to see the monster. I didn't tell anyone. Let’s go, I remember that it was late at that time, probably like it is now.” Following Bai Ka’s words, several young people unconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the sky, and the sun had already set.

Baika seemed to be recalling the scene at that time, and continued, "When I approached the valley, I walked very slowly, and I didn't even make a sound of footsteps. I was afraid that even if I made a little sound, the monster would detect it, because I often I heard the adults say that the monster has very sensitive ears and can hear the footsteps outside the valley. At that time, he will wait in the cracks of the valley. It likes to eat humans very much. Only those who cannot stand the temptation and curiosity will be killed. Attracted to the cracks in the valley, that's when it feasts."

"Temptation?" Wilder noticed the word.

Baika glanced at him and nodded lightly, "That's right, that monster has a magical talent. It can release a smell that makes humans feel particularly fragrant after smelling it, just like barbecue. Of course, Some people also say that it is the scent of flowers, and some say it is the smell of blood. In short, everyone smells something that is very attractive to him. I don’t know what others think about this issue, but I think the person who smells blood A man of taste must be a pervert."

"Yes." Wilde felt the same way.

Bai Ka glanced at him again, this time with a hint of admiration and relief in his eyes, and the young people next to him caught the meaning in his eyes, and immediately nodded as if they had caught something, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes. "

"Damn it, don't interrupt me." However, Bai Ka scolded dissatisfied in return.

After cursing, Bai Ka took a puff of cigarette and continued, "So, that monster not only has terrible hearing, but also has this kind of talent like hallucinations or drugs that can make people be attracted to it unconsciously. Of course, Maybe its sense of smell and vision are equally gifted, but no one can say for sure.”

"As you know, I slowed down when I was approaching the crack in the valley, so in fact I didn't make a sound, or maybe I did, but I deliberately slowed down so that the monster didn't recognize that it was human. Footsteps, so I didn't smell anything strange until I got to the crack."

"But Grandpa Baika, how did you see that monster? In that case, the monster shouldn't be waiting at the crack, could it be that you entered the valley?" The young man looked at him with disbelieving eyes after he finished speaking.

"Damn! Damn! Why do you always like to interrupt my words! Don't you know that the elderly have a bad memory? Can you understand the difficulty I had in recalling that time?" Baika stood up angrily, and smote the cigarette He hit the young man on the head.

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I promise I won't ask!" The young man covered his head and said with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Bai Ka became even angrier and pumped harder, "Damn it! It sounds like I'm a very unreasonable old man. I'm not someone who would curb young people's curiosity, nor The old man who will deprive the young man of asking questions! Remember! What you just did was interrupting an old man's words, not asking questions, and the two cannot be confused."

Bai Ka spoke angrily, and when he calmed down, he stroked the cigarette rod in his hand with a distressed face, and took a puff of cigarette when he saw that it was not deformed.

Wilder gave the young man a sympathetic look. If possible, he would quietly hand him a pack of cigarettes and ask him to honor his white card with the cigarettes. Maybe the treatment he received would be completely different from what he is now?

"Let's talk about the monster's appearance. I can't remember the exact process. It's not so much the appearance as the shape. I was very lucky. I saw it at the first glance when I just arrived at the crack. An unforgettable scene.”

"But didn't you say it's hard to remember? Why do you say it's unforgettable forever?" The young man leaned over and asked puzzledly.

"Oh, God, Mr. Traveler, please wait a moment, let me settle my personal affairs, I believe you are already tired of this damn guy, I will deal with him now. Next I will tell you about my An unforgettable experience when I was young." Baika stood up and smiled at Wilder, who smiled back and nodded.

I don't know if it was Tie Hanhan or what, but at this time the young man hadn't noticed that something was wrong, but pointed at the white card with a face swollen like a pig's head, and said suspiciously: "Look, you clearly Saying it is unforgettable, this constitutes a contradiction with what you said before."

"Mystery will kill—the continuous smoking of the pile of cigarettes—the dance of one hundred—four and eight!" A poetic move name rushed out of Baika's throat!He jumped up, and the cigarette rod fell on the young man's head!
"..."

After a shrill scream, the young man's face was completely out of the scope of the pig's head, and turned into a steamed bun, the kind of steamed bun that was not properly placed, resulting in a sticky ball.

"I swear I won't ask...don't interrupt...Grandpa Baika." Sitting obediently, the young man said to the wall, his eyes were covered with meat, so he couldn't see the outside world.

Baika sat back by the courtyard door again, took a puff of cigarettes and knocked out the ash, took out a pack of cigarettes that Wilder gave him, opened them, lit one and smoked it, suddenly it seemed that he had experienced He showed an expression of enjoyment like a kind of joyful movement, and took a few puffs in succession before starting to speak.

"It was a monster with a body similar to that of a snake. It was far away from me at the time, and because it was covered by trees, I couldn't fully see its appearance, but just from that one glance, I could tell that its size was different. How big."

"How big?" Wilder asked.

Baika smoked a cigarette and said, "Let's put it this way, at that time, behind the monster was a huge tree with hundreds of years of age. You know, people like us who deal with forests every day can roughly judge it at a glance The age of the tree, the big tree needs at least ten people to hug it with outstretched hands, but the monster just rolled over and broke the tree. Its size is at least five times that of the tree above."

"Terrible power." Wilde said.

Bai Ka nodded, "Yes, judging from its size, if you want to crush that tree, even if it is five times its size, you can't do it. It can only be said that the monster's strength is greater than its size. There are many. The scariest thing is..."

Bai Ka looked around mysteriously, then lowered his voice and said, "Do you know Shenlong?"

"Dragon?" Wilder showed some surprised expressions very cooperatively.

Bai Ka sat back again, nodded, and said with certainty: "I suspect that monster is actually the legendary dragon, because I saw a pair of big horns through that quick glance. Does the dragon have horns?"

"Yes." Wilder said with certainty.

"So, that monster is actually the legendary Shenlong! It's just that it's not as friendly as in the legend. He eats humans! And he likes to eat humans!"

"I want to go there and meet the "Shenlong"." Wilder said with a smile.

Baika froze when he was about to put the cigarette into his mouth, and the pig-headed bun boy turned around from facing the wall.
