Chapter 19 Treasure Hunt

A few people walked into the woods along the blood trail that passer-by D had crawled all the way, and then stopped within the approximate range where passer-by C might have been attacked by something just now.To say that several people have also experienced bloody storms, their perception of the smell of blood and murderous aura is not weak.But at this moment in the forest they were in, there was nothing that would make them feel threatened.

Strangely, Itachi looked down at the large pool of blood on the ground.The murloc just now should have been cut in two at this place. Seeing that he was able to crawl out of this distance before dying, the speed at which he was cut in two should have been very fast.Itachi narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, in such a quiet environment, he didn't know who came from, and made a crisp "click".Itachi looked up at the four people around him one by one, and his gaze finally fell on Gintoki.

I saw a chocolate bar in Yinshi's mouth, and seeing Itachi looking at him, he bit off the chocolate bar that was still in his mouth just now, and handed the remaining half to Itachi: "You Want to eat it? I found it from the previous village. If you can’t stand seeing this bloody scene, you can tell me~ I’ll put away this half chocolate bar for you, and eat it when you’re sad Some sweets will make you feel better." Yin Shi said clearly.

Ke on the side couldn't help but retort: ​​"Wouldn't it be more disgusting to eat sweets after seeing disgusting things?" Disdainful of Yin Shi's theory of sweets, Ke took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket - it should be from the previous I found it in the village, took out a cigarette and put it in my mouth, touched my pocket, and realized that the lighter had been dropped before, "Ginji-kun, please excuse me~"

Yinci turned around and saw Ke pointing at him to the unlit cigarette on his mouth: "Smoking in the forest is easy to cause fire." Although he said so, he snapped his fingers and lit the cigarette for Ke. a cigarette.

"It's like being bitten off..." Itachi muttered to the blood on the ground.

"Huh——" Hearing Itachi's words, Ginji shuddered all over, and looked around in fear.

Although the trees where they were at this time were not very dense, the canopies of those trees were huge, interlaced with each other, blocking most of the light.It's no wonder Ginji felt scared. Even though this place wasn't as dark as it was at night, a person just died inexplicably just now, coupled with the gusts of wind blowing from time to time, people couldn't help but think in the direction of horror.

"If you bite it off, how big a mouth would it be..." Itachi tried to draw his waist, and then gestured a mouth that could bite an ordinary person in two with his bare hands, and finally pointed to Ginji's side A tree, "The mouth must be at least as big as the cross-section of the trunk of that tree, right?"

Ginji was startled by Itachi's words just now, and now he carefully glanced at the big tree next to him because of Ke's words, but at this time the Red Corpse Tibetan came to add fuel to the fire: "Yeah~ maybe it's This tree ate the lower body of that person~" The red corpse spoke neither fast nor slow, and his voice was nice, but for some reason it reached everyone's ears, what he said seemed to have some kind of magical power, People unconsciously wanted to believe his words, and began to imagine the scene of trees eating people in their minds.

The pure Ginji was obviously guided by the voice of the red corpse, and unconsciously imagined the scene of the tree suddenly coming to life, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards him.He was so frightened that he suddenly turned into a bear, and threw himself into the arms of the red corpse who had been waiting beside him for a long time.

The ferret circled around a few particularly thick trees nearby, but found no bloodstains on the ground near those trees. "If these trees really eat people, then they shouldn't just eat that murloc." Itachi swept away the fallen leaves at the root of one of the trees with his feet. There was still a thick layer of fallen leaves underground, but it had just begun. Rotten, although the smell is not much better than a rotting corpse, but there is indeed no trace of life disappearing around here.

"That's right~ there are no bones around here~" Ginji seemed to be emboldened by Itachi's words, and got down from the red corpse and returned to the size of an ordinary boy, but he never dared to leave the red corpse's side.

"No one stipulates that plants must spit out bones when they eat people, right?" Chi expressed helplessness at Yinci's innocent words.

"Hey, let me tell you, please don't take it for granted that 'plants cannibalize' so casually? It's not within the range of ordinary people's acceptance!" Yinshi confirmed to the others so quickly The conclusion that "that murloc was actually eaten by a tree" also expresses helplessness.

"If it's not a plant, is it some kind of monster?" Ke proposed another possibility, "But we didn't hear any footsteps at all, and there were no strange footprints around here." But he quickly denied it by himself. .

"Maybe it's a very light, walking man-eating plant!" Ginji finally let go of his courage and joined the ranks of guessing the murderer.

"Maybe it's a seed from an alien. It experienced a completely different cultivation condition on this island than it was on the mother planet, so it went berserk after it matured?" The prince always gave them troublesome experience, sorted it out, and proposed another possibility.

Originally, it was just nonsense, but I didn't expect that everyone would look at him with reverence like "You've got the truth!"Afterwards, their five-member team carried out the usual behavior pattern of only action without planning, and rushed back to the original path, preparing to grab a few people from the dead murloc's lair to ask about the runaway seed.

It's just that when they followed the path trampled by the pirates carrying heavy objects to the old den of the protection fee pirates, all they saw was a mess on the ground.Blood was splattered everywhere, and with a random glance, one could see the head stuck in the crevice of the stone.There were quite a few human heads that rolled to the ground, and most of them had expressions of wide-eyed or surprised or terrified expressions on their faces.

"Doesn't that runaway seed like to eat human heads?" Because this pirate's lair is much brighter than the forest before, so even though there are so many human heads, Ginji doesn't feel afraid, on the contrary, he is very concerned about the ones left behind. Those body parts expressed doubts.

"Maybe, if you eat a human head, it would be inconvenient to spit out the bones?" Among them, only Ke would seriously think about the unnutritious questions Yinci raised, and most of the time, Ke's answers would only be better than Yinci's. The problem is even less nutritious.

"The nutritional value of the human head is very high~ For example, the eyes and brain are rich in nutrients, and the taste of the ears is also very good." Chishi took up the topic of Ginji and Ke with great interest.

Hearing the words of the red corpse, Ginji inexplicably felt a sinister energy creeping up his back: "Mr. Red Corpse, did you say that because you have eaten it?"

The red corpse Tibetan seems to enjoy seeing Ginji's frightened appearance. Although he wants to nod his head and answer Ginji's question in the affirmative, but if the frightened Ginji never comes to him for shelter again, the loss outweighs the gain. .After weighing the matter, the red corpse could only answer in this way: "It's just the feeling when dissecting."

While several people were discussing the taste and nutritional value of the human head, Itachi walked around the pirate's base roughly, and it didn't look like there would be any survivors.So call everyone, you can start looking for food, water and treasure.

It is relatively more convenient to find food in the pirate base than in ordinary villages.Pirates usually pay attention to eating meat and drinking in large bowls, so there will never be a shortage of wine and meat on the pirate ship.Itachi was thinking about how to move the wine back. The fresh meat on the other side should not be stored for a long time, but there is also a lot of cured meat in stock.These foods were piled up in what looked like a kitchen, so Itachi piled them up like this first, and then went elsewhere to see what tools could transport so many jars of wine back.

When Yinshi was actively looking for the treasure, he stumbled into the cave that was arranged like a room by mistake, and saw many reward orders posted on the wall of the cave.Yin Shi tore them off one by one, went out of the cave, and called other people to come and watch these wanted notices.

"We can bring back the head that matches the portrait, maybe we can make a fortune." Gintoki's wishful thinking was echoed by others, although itachi was the only one who nodded.

The five continued to explore separately, but still found nothing.Seeing that it was getting late, they got together again to discuss countermeasures.

"Generally you don't hide treasures in places that are easy to find." Yinshi touched his chin and said first.

"Nonsense!" Ke glared at Yin Shi because of his unnutritious words, "Generally, the boss hides treasures, and they don't hide them where they are easy to be found by their own men. Who knows if those men are reliable, and will one day Rebellion, kill the boss to seek the treasure?"

"Ke Jun, although I really want to agree with you, don't you think your thoughts are too dark?" Yin Shi said while shaking his head, "Young man, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go. You can't always see the dark side of this world. You still have a bright future waiting for you!"

Itachi ignored Yinshi's trickery, he looked up at the sky that was reddened by the setting sun, turned to the red corpse and asked, "Mr. Red Corpse, how long have people here been dead?"

The red corpse took a closer look at the head he did not know where he got it: "Although there is no way to be sure, it has been dead for at least one to two days."

"That's very possible. The runaway seed will only appear at night, or in places where there is no sunlight." Hearing what the red corpse said, Itachi thought for a while and said.

"That is to say, we must find the treasure before the sun sets, or we will wait to fight the suspected alien creature?" Yinshi's final analysis and summary got everyone's nodding approval except Yinji.
