Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

"What is so big?" Xia Chuan's eyesight has its limit, after all, there is no light in that area, and it is good to be able to see the outline, but it is not clear at all.He glanced at Aegon, feeling that he was really keen to spot the shadow in the distance in such a dim light.

In fact, judging from the short two days they spent together, the acuity of the senses and the agility of the hands of these primitive residents are far beyond ordinary people, even the elderly and children are no exception.

Deep Blue's ears moved slightly, and after listening for a while with a frown, he said, "There's more than one."

Xia Chuan was taken aback: "More than one?"

"Yeah." Shen Lan said, "The voice is too low, and I can't hear it clearly, but it's definitely not one, but a group."

Aigon was pointing in the direction of the shadow of the tree with his finger up, talking to everyone quickly.After listening to Aegon's words, their expressions gradually became ugly - each of them was tense, with a lingering fear in their guard.Judging from their reactions, nine times out of ten they have encountered similar scenes and suffered a lot.

But this time, they gathered so quickly that almost the whole tribe was here, so they naturally gained a lot of confidence, so although there was fear, no one had the intention of hiding and retreating.Laura and the other women were a step behind the others, and each of them held a few wooden branches with fire in their hands.

They ran around the base of the fence and distributed the wooden branches to the crowd.For a while, the fire on the fence went out, and the fire that was already burning on the watchtower made the night a lot brighter.

Under the reflection of a circle of flames, the outline of the black shadow beside the trees down the slope became much clearer.The black figure was also shocked by the flames, and obviously retreated a little towards the back of the tree.With this movement, Xia Chuan finally discovered that the huge black shadow was really composed of several smaller black shadows.

As Deep Blue said, there is not one visitor, but a small group.

The small section of wall where Xia Chuan and Shenlan stayed was located between the watchtower and the gate.

On their left, Aegon clutched the stone arrow, staring sullenly at the black shadow.When the black shadow receded slightly, the expression on his face relaxed a little.On the right side of them, Laura was holding Alan by the door and looking out. After two glances, Laura raised her head and said to Xia Chuan and the others: "Hey - it moved! Ordinary beasts are a little afraid of fire." , so many torches are being held up, they seem to be retreating a bit!"

Xia Chuan originally thought the same way, but just after Laura finished speaking, he found that the black shadows that had dispersed a little bit gathered in the middle again. After hesitating for a moment, instead of retreating, they instead Moved a few steps forward.

"No retreat..." Xia Chuan frowned, feeling a little surprised by the situation.

"Ah?!" Upon hearing what he said, Laura glanced again from the door, wondering, "It's really strange, they still don't retreat like this? Could it be that they still want to attack by force? It shouldn't be..."

She was muttering on her side, and the others also started talking.

Xia Chuan saw not only Aigon, but even the leader who climbed up to the watchtower and stood beside Aigon was a little surprised.He thought for a moment, and then said something to everyone briefly and forcefully. After hearing this, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, put on a posture ready to strike at any time, and stared nervously at the slope.

Even Deep Blue let out a hiss, as if he didn't understand the motives of those black shadows.

At this time, almost all the people of the clan are waiting here, even if they are really terrible, the price of attacking them will definitely not be small, and it is really not a good deal.Even if they don't know how to calculate these, according to the habits of most wild beasts, they shouldn't have such aggressive behavior.

But the fact is that the group of black shadows walked back to the tree again, half hidden in the shadow of the bushes, and under the light of the fire, some of their bright eyes could be vaguely seen.They just stayed there staring at each other like a tiger, confronting the people in the wall from a distance.

Xia Chuan could even see a few of them bowing slightly, assuming a posture ready to attack.

The leader whistled and raised his right hand high into a fist.Seeing this gesture, everyone moved towards the front one after another, and gathered in the very center in a very short time, all their weapons were pointed at the black shadow.For a moment, there seemed to be a silk thread stretched between the two parties. If either party made a slight move, the confrontation would be on the verge of breaking out.

Just when Xia Chuan also arched his body and changed into the most suitable posture for attacking.A man who looked a bit older hurried over, he called Aigon anxiously, then panted and gestured with his hands and said something, he spoke extremely fast, Xia Chuan felt the surrounding people The others were a little dazed and couldn't hear what he was saying.

But Aigon's expression suddenly changed!

He asked the old man anxiously, and the old man raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction behind, and then explained a few more words.

This posture, it seems that something unexpected happened, and it has something to do with Aigon.

Just as Xia Chuan was observing the movement of the black shadow down the slope, and scanning the situation on Aegon's side with his peripheral vision, Shen Lan suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, let's go!"

Xia Chuan frowned: "What?"

When he asked this, his body reflexively followed Dark Blue and jumped off the edge of the wall, and then passed through the group of earthen houses very quickly, heading straight to a certain place.The leader called them a few times behind him, and even Laura exclaimed, "Why are you going?"

Shen Lan didn't turn his head back, and didn't answer at all, let them call, but answered Xia Chuan's words in a low voice: "There is movement here!"

When he said this, the two of them had already run to the foot of a side wall. Deep Lan didn't even care that there were sharp-edged stone pieces inserted into the wall, and grabbed onto the wall, and rolled over in two strokes. His body was so agile. Incredible.Xia Chuan was a step behind him, and saw the special traces on the earthen wall before climbing over the wall——

Those were a few extremely obvious deep marks, which seemed to be scratched by the sharp claws of some kind of beast.Xia Chuan inexplicably thought of the scratches he saw on the door of the storage room when the food was lost that day, and felt that the two were somewhat similar, but this time the ones were bigger and sharper, and looked more threatening.

He followed Shen Lan and climbed out of the wall. After running for tens of meters, he saw Shen Lan's back, and saw him wrestling with three half-person tall black shadows.At the same time as Xia Chuan came over, there happened to be a fourth black shadow rushing over from the side. Shen Lan grabbed the gap, kicked the black shadow in the abdomen, and swung it impartially in front of Xia Chuan, not forgetting to take the time to say: : "Send one for you to play with!"

Xia Chuan said with a blank face: "...you are very thoughtful, thank you so much."

The beast seemed to be rough-skinned and thick-skinned. After being kicked to the ground by Shen Lan, it struggled a little, then immediately jumped up and rushed towards Xia Chuan.Xia Chuan raised his hand to restrain its two front paws, then kicked the softest part of its abdomen, and then swung it sideways, throwing it heavily to the ground.

It was only after confronting each other at a close distance that Xia Chuan could clearly see the appearance of this kind of beast—they looked a bit like wolves, but their hairs were very different. Each hair was longer than wolves, but they were thick and hard. On the body, it seemed weak and strong.

Their eyes glowed faintly in the thick night, and when they stared at people, they were full of coldness and murderousness, which sent a chill down people's spines.And their teeth are also extremely sharp, especially the upper teeth, the front teeth are extremely long, and as they bared their teeth, the teeth are clearly exposed, glowing white.

Those teeth are strong enough to penetrate all kinds of hard things, including the thick fur of animals, let alone human skin.

As soon as Xia Chuan threw it to the ground, it followed Xia Chuan's movement and raised its head abruptly. Its four sharp front teeth were about to plunge straight into Xia Chuan's neck.However, Xia Chuan's reaction speed was faster than its attack speed. He grabbed the beast's teeth with his backhand, and with the last force, he blocked it at a distance of less than ten centimeters, and the tip of his teeth almost rubbed Xia Chuan's face. With the arm passing by, with a little more weight, the flesh can be cut open directly.

This blow looked very dangerous, and it seemed that he was a little scared to avoid it, but Xia Chuan had a calm face, showing no sign of fear.On the contrary, Shen Lan, who kicked the beast over, frowned and raised his hand to help, but Xia Chuan slapped him back before he could make a move.

For Xia Chuan, although this beast was not a piece of cake without danger, it did not cause much trouble, so Deep Blue could naturally handle it.

Although the three fast-moving beasts are indeed troublesome, Deep Blue is holding his breath today. He was having fun getting close to Xia Chuan in the house, but he was disturbed by these beasts, so that his body was covered with bruises. There was no place to vent his anger. At this time, he caught three of them, and his whole body exuded the aura of provoking the other. He was merciless in his hands and feet. While beating the three beasts, he followed his movements and complained: "Troublemaker!" end!"

Xia Chuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that.

The two escaped almost at the same time, leaving the body of the beast lying on the ground, and continued to run forward.

"Anything else?" Xia Chuan asked after following him. After all, he scanned around while running and didn't see any more running shadows.

"I saw them throwing people over just now." Shen Lan stopped at the same time as she replied, and swept around from where she was.

Because of his limited eyesight, he didn't see anything clearly in this circle, but Xia Chuan looked at the surrounding ground when he heard what he said.

He saw a black shadow slightly raised on the grass not far away at a glance, because the light there was really dark, let alone dark blue, even he himself was not very sure when he saw it, so he stepped forward to confirm it again ——

As soon as he stepped forward, he could clearly see the bump on the ground - it was a half-grown child lying face down, judging from the size alone, he looked about ten years old.The hair on the head is a bit long, and because the face is facing down, it is impossible to tell whether it is a girl or a boy.

Xia Chuan quickly stepped forward and squatted down, turning the child over.While feeling the child's heartbeat with squinted eyes, he quickly glanced at the injury on the child's body, but the light was too dim to see clearly.

At this moment, there were a few chaotic footsteps from behind, and it sounded like a small group of people rushed over.They brought a few torches, which immediately illuminated the child lying in front of Xia Chuan.This is a boy with prominent browbones, deep-set eye sockets, and high cheekbones...

Xia Chuan only felt that this face was slightly familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that this child was seven points similar to Aigon.

The primitive people living here generally lived much shorter than modern people, and the age of childbearing was much earlier.So much so that Aigon seemed to be about the same age as Xia Chuan and the others, and the children were already this old.

In this world where dangers are everywhere, and one meal may not be fully guaranteed, the survival rate of children is always astonishingly low. It is definitely not easy to raise a child safely to such an age.But now the child lay lifeless on the ground.

Under the light of the fire, Xia Chuan finally saw the scars on his body clearly - neck, chest, arms, thighs... there were traces of being scratched by the sharp teeth of wild beasts everywhere, especially the deepest and most serious ones on the neck and chest.The child was covered in blood, and his chin was smeared a little. He looked terribly frightening.

After hearing what the old man said, Aegon also got off the watchtower and went straight here.It's just that his leg was injured, and it was still not convenient to walk, and he was a little limping.However, he was not pulled too far by the others, and he quickly followed, showing that he was running with almost all his strength.

Xia Chuan firmly pressed the wound on the child's neck, although the effect might not be significant anymore.

Aigon pushed aside the few people in front of him, and saw his child lying on the ground covered in blood at a glance, and immediately went crazy.His eyes were bloodshot, his skin lost all color in an instant, and his expression became dazed, as if the world was spinning in an instant, and he couldn't even figure out where he was.He called the child's name a few times, which sounded somewhat similar in syllables to his own name, "Aron".

The voice was extremely hoarse, it sounded like it was scratching sandpaper, and a little bit of blood was squeezed out of his throat.

Someone helped to call the two women who were in charge of treating injuries in the tribe, and Laura dragged Allen to follow in a hurry.She had guessed that there might be some wounded, and wanted to follow to see if there was anything she could do to help, but she leaned forward to look at Aaron's injury, and then put her hands down without saying a word.

Be it Xia Chuan, Deep Blue, or Laura, one can tell at a glance that Aaron is basically hopeless.
