Tides: Years of Dawn

Tristan and Gareth were really floating, because not long after entering the sea, a big wave hit them and they lost consciousness.

So he fluctuated ups and downs in the arms of Mother Sea, drifted for a day and two nights, and managed to maintain his breath until he was washed to another coast.

When Tristan woke up, he happened to see the sun rising in the east.The sunlight made his eyes a little uncomfortable, but the next second he regained his sanity, he immediately tried to turn over and look for signs of Tristan.

He failed to turn over because his legs were bound.

He struggled for a while, trying to see if the seaweed was entangled with him, but when he squinted his eyes and saw the figure standing next to him, his whole body went limp, and the body that had just stood up fell back to the beach.

"...You, what monster are you!?" Tristan wanted to be calm, but his heartbeat was so violent that he couldn't calm down at all.

If he wasn't dreaming at the moment, then what was standing in front of him was a thing that was half man and half octopus.It wasn't aquatic plants that bound his legs, but two tentacles sticking out from under the seaman's robe.

When Tristan yelled, Crewe was also a little panicked, and jumped back a little bit—it was only then that Tristan realized that octopuses can also jump—gazing at him with wide eyes, stammering—” Then... then what kind of monster are you!?"

Crewe never thought that once in a while when he got up early for a walk, he would run into two unidentified creatures washed up on the beach.

Crewe has never seen a human being, but he knows that once a seaman is unconscious, he will definitely show the characteristics of a sea beast, which may be anywhere in the head, arms, scales, fins or gills.

But he looked around the two sleepy guys several times, but he still didn't see any sea people's characteristics on them.

He boldly infers that this species that has been soaked in water for a long time still has two legs is probably a human.

So he struggled for two or ten minutes between the two options of "pretend not to see and go home and hide" and "tie up whatever it is first before talking about it". As a result, Tristan moved, and he instinctively stretched out his two arms. Tentacles bound him.

So Crewe wasn't ready to face humans, and obviously, the other party wasn't ready to see talking octopuses either.

The old and the young confronted each other for a while, and Gareth also woke up.

Crewe quickly stretched out two more tentacles, intending to repeat the same trick and tie up the second person, but unexpectedly, Gareth coughed violently, turned over and vomited two mouthfuls of seawater.

Crewe's tentacles flinched back a little in fear, and Gareth saw him.

Gareth shuddered, and immediately pulled out a stick that he had instinctively passed on at the market earlier—he wanted to smooth a knife, but unfortunately he couldn't find it, so he had to find a stick that looked like a rolling pin— Tentacles raised towards Krue.

Crewe was about to cry, he was really scared.

His eye sockets instantly turned red, and his tentacles kept trembling and curling.

He felt that the person in front of him was going to rush over and give him a stick. During this process, he had no time to find a rock crevice or a pot to hide, so he would be knocked unconscious, and then thrown into the sea and drifted to nowhere.

Of course, it is also possible to be ripped apart by sharks or turtles eating octopus before drifting far, as an unexpectedly good breakfast.

But who would have thought that Gareth was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smiled, and said to Tristan who was still confused next to him-"Oh my god, this... this little octopus is so beautiful!"

"...Well, it looks delicious." Tristan answered dryly.

After hearing this, Crewe let go of his tentacles, cried out loudly, and squirted ink all over his face at Tristan.

Things developed like this, beyond the understanding of two humans.

Especially beyond Tristan's understanding.

At this moment, two old hunters and a little octopus are sitting on the beach. Tristan managed to wash off the ink on his face, but Gareth seemed to be able to adapt to the current environment, coaxing and crying like a victim The violent octopus asked this and that with great interest.

"Is your ink poisonous?" Gareth turned to ask the octopus, looking at Tristan's black pants.

Crewe sniffed, "...No, no."

"Are you an octopus?" Gareth asked again.

Crewe bit his lip, rubbed his hands and pressed them against the tentacles, "I...I am half..."

"Are all of you here half and half?" Gareth stretched out his arm, trying to touch the octopus tentacles, but the tentacles shrank back and retracted his robes.

"No, it's not...I..." Crewe looked up at Gareth timidly. Seeing that the human was a head taller than him, he pursed his mouth again—"I...I don't know..."

"Then your octopus friend is also the same as you, they all look so good-"

Gareth still wanted to ask, and when the salty pig's hand changed direction and wanted to touch Crewe's head again, Tristan snorted, twisted his coat washed in sea water, and said in a rough voice—"Don't What the hell is there, let me ask you," Tristan's face sank, and he turned to look at Crewe—"Are you Cliff Island?"

Of course not, Crewe has just returned from Cliff Island for a few days.

In fact, just as Gareth had thought before, they couldn't help but decide the direction when they plunged into the sea.They didn't float in the direction of Cliff Island, but instead changed direction with the violent wave and floated to - "Haicheng Island... This is... Haicheng Island."

Tristan and Gareth glanced at each other, the former wanted to take out the crumpled map, but the paper on which the precious map was drawn was completely stained with ink, and it melted during the unfolding process.

Tristan clicked his tongue and threw the ball of paper away, "How do I get to the jellyfish's house?"

"Water..." Krugang wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that Tristan's expression was particularly scary. He gritted his teeth, stared at the small sand on the beach, and asked softly—"You...why do you Go to the jellyfish's house..."

"We're going to find someone, don't worry, we're not malicious, we're not wizards." Gareth replied.

Now his salty pig's hand touched Crewe's head, unexpectedly, just as he touched the hair, another tentacle came out from the lower part of the robe with lightning speed, wrapping around his wrist firmly.

Crewe's reaction was based on a defensive instinct, and when he wrapped Gareth around, the feeling of fear came to his heart lately, so he timidly let go of the tentacles, and stepped softly on the ground.

"...I, I don't know...you can't just leave." Crewe lied.

The two people in front of them are human beings, monsters that can eat sea people. Crewe has heard of the cruelty and horror of human beings since he was a child, not to mention Tristan's previous threats also confirmed this possibility.

Not only that, Tristan, who heard Crewe's prevarication, stood up again, grabbed the wooden stick in Gareth's hand, bowed his head and shouted at Crewe—"Don't play tricks! Be careful I'll touch you!" Cut them off one by one! Answer the questions honestly!"

Crewe quickly backed away, and Tristan thought he was about to spray ink again, so he also took a few steps back quickly, taking a defensive posture.

So the two sides turned into a confrontation again, silently standing by the sea like three lifelike sculptures.

After a while, Gareth calmed down again—"We really mean no harm, don't be afraid."

Gareth held out his hand, trying to treat the little octopus like a fool.After all, this trick was effective on the fool before, maybe it is effective on all half-human, half-animal creatures.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Crewe.

Crewe didn't approach him, but shrank further away.

His eyes stopped on Gareth's face, and then he saw his short stubbled chin, then the abrupt Adam's apple, and then fell on the chest that exposed the branding in the open collar.

The moment he saw the brand mark, a chill ran down Crewe's back.He had seen such a brand and remembered it vividly.

That's right, that was the mark on every monster that rushed towards him during the night when he was locked in the waiting room.

Gareth and Tristan are dangerous beings, both in their human identities and in their branding.Crewe immediately realized that this matter was not trivial, but he was still not sure what to do.

So even if the old hunters didn't lie, they weren't wizards in the strict sense, and they really didn't think of cooking Crewe to eat, but Crewe lied, and those lies seemed to be activated, and suddenly popped out.

It's just that the old hunter couldn't doubt the truth of it, because the little octopus looked so scared and honest, and the lies were mixed with the truth, making it impossible for them to screen.

He hesitated for a while, as if confessing the torment he had experienced before.During this short period of time, another small island appeared in his mind.

So he said, go up—"Go, up, all the way up, go, go west..."

Crewe pointed to the road under his feet. Behind the beach was a small forest that looked exactly the same as before.

The Cracked Rock Islands are full of jungles like this, with identical beaches everywhere, endless seas everywhere, and small piers that have no difference except for the number of sea people.

Crewe wriggled his tentacles and moved to the road, pointing backwards along the road—"To...go along the road, Haicheng Island is very small...you will see a fork in a short time, the fork on the left leads to The pier, the fork on the right leads to the church, you... go to the pier."

Haicheng Island is the smallest of the four main islands, and has the largest population density, so——"You can't tell where you are going, if you talk too much, everyone knows that you are human, then you will be... blindfolded and tied up." Stones, thrust into the sea from cliffs."

Crewe looked at the two of them in awe, and they looked at each other again.

Tristan made a few more threats with the stick, and Crewe shrank back a little each time he threatened.He looked like he couldn't tell a lie, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.

"Then how the hell did you tell them where they were going?!" Tristan grinned viciously, "Don't just give us an answer to fool us, or I will tie you up and pull out one of your tentacles if you find you lie once. .”

"...I, I don't have it!" Crewe was anxious, he frowned, his eyes turned red again, "You, if you tie me up, my family will look for me, and you are more likely to be discovered, and more... "

Crewe muttered, and I couldn’t make it up anymore, so I had to change the subject and answer Tristan’s question——“The port is between Cliff Island and Haicheng Island. Even if you don’t say it, the ship will going in that direction..."

Tristan glared at Crewe again, and after discussing with Gareth, he finally decided to do what the little octopus said.

After all, they really can't tie up another seaman. The two who were knocked out before just stripped their clothes, which almost caused them to be exterminated.The sea folk's powers are frightening, and the old hunter decides to go it alone.

Gareth made a final confirmation—"When you get to the cliff and continue to go north, it's the home of the jellyfish, right?"

Crewe nodded, "The jellyfish's house is at the northernmost tip of Cliff Island, you will pass by the sea monster's house and the sea snake's house first."

After speaking, he continued to look flustered and glance at the two with evasive eyes, and finally got the approval of the two old hunters who were already a little confused.

When Crewe watched the two old hunters walk up to the woods on the side of the road and quickly disappeared into the woods, he felt a soft hand and sat down slumped.

That's right, if you go to Cliff Island, you can indeed find the remote old jellyfish house after passing by the sea snake's house and the sea monster's house.

But Tristan and Gareth can't reach Cliff Island. The direction Crewe points to will take them to another place—that is, the prison island is set up and the island is full of police guards.

After what happened with Geraint and Gao Wen, Crewe had no way to report this matter to Rael.Leyle wouldn't believe what he said, so Leyle could only see what he said.

At the same time, Crewe would definitely not report this matter to his family, otherwise he really wasn't sure what the negative old Clough and Saru and Elena who were full of malice towards him would do.

Of course, Crewe couldn't bother Gao Wen anymore.He has already realized that his contact with Gao Wen will not only cause trouble for himself, but also cause trouble for Gao Wen who has been helping him.He didn't want to be a complete trouble, at least not yet.

Crewe sat there blankly for a while, then stood up, looked around, and after confirming that there were no hunters or sea people around, he also set foot on the main road.

He was speeding forward on the main road, swinging his tentacles, and he also had to reach the fork in the road.

It's just that he wants to go to the other side of the fork, and his destination is the real jellyfish house.

O///特///Pu///People in the Si family may not value the words of Little Cru, but he has not forgotten that there is someone in the jellyfish family who trusts him and is trusted by him——Andre Aka Leaf.
