Otherworld travel

Chapter 3

Shanglu finally figured out what was wrong with what had been lingering in his heart since last night.

After the monster left yesterday, Calamus and the others seemed like nothing had happened. They didn't feel the fear when they first saw the monster. After returning to the dormitory, they reacted as if they had just watched a normal party.Moreover, several people had an accident last night, including a teacher. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the school to have no reaction at all, and organize students to go on a trip the next day.

Sure enough, there are problems with this school and the students in it.However, I still have to go to the fishing village today. The monsters I saw yesterday were also related to fish, so I might be able to find a way to go back there.

Before Shanglu could think about it, Changpu looked at him in surprise, "Is there any problem going to the fishing village?"

"Ah, it's okay, but I haven't prepared anything yet, so I'm a little anxious." Shang Lu quickly returned to God.

"Oh, there's still time, don't worry, we haven't prepared anything yet."

Taking advantage of Calamus and the others not thinking too much, Shang Lu hurried to the bathroom and avoided the topic.

When it was time to gather in the classroom, every student in the class was a little excited. It was a normal student who didn't have to go to class and was happy to go out to play. Except for Phytophthora, no one seemed to remember the monsters from last night.

After the teacher finished roll call, he took the whole class to the school gate to gather.There are several buses parked at the gate, which are specially rented by the school this time to take senior high school students on a trip to relax.

Sitting on the bus, Shang Lu tightly hugged the backpack in his arms.This is the bag he borrowed from Calamus this morning. It contains the lighter and flashlight he bought at the convenience store.Luckily I woke up with my phone and wallet in my pocket, but it's worth pondering that the phone still works in this place.

After driving for about half an hour, the bus arrived at the small fishing village.

The fishing village is really small, and the villagers I saw along the way all showed simple and honest smiles to the passing students, looking very honest and simple, nothing out of the ordinary.

But it was still broad daylight, and those monsters were afraid of light, so it was unlikely that they would appear.

Just as Calamus and the others guessed before, they experienced how to fish after arriving at the fishing village.The school contacted several fishermen in advance and asked them to call the students to fish.Because it is a small fishing village, there is not such a big place to accommodate hundreds of students and teachers to eat together.

However, Calamus is rich, so he paid for it and took Shang Lu and the others to a fisherman's house for dinner.

The hostess of this house is very good at cooking and the dishes are very delicious.Although Shang Lu was still worried about the current situation, after taking a bite of the small yellow croaker, he temporarily forgot about these problems and had a good meal.

After the meal, Phytolaca took a walk in the fisherman's yard to digest food, and Calamus and his family were chatting with the fishermen's family.Although Shanglu was walking, he also paid attention to their movements, hoping to obtain some information.

Through their chats, Shanglu knew that there were many dugongs near this fishing village a long time ago. The dugong bones could be used to carve objects, their skins could be used to make leather, and they could also eat meat and extract oil. Therefore, they were hunted and killed by fishermen.However, because the number of dugongs is extremely rare now, and it is a national first-class protected animal, there are no fishermen to hunt and kill dugongs now.

Hearing this, Shang Lu slowly stopped his digestion.After what happened last night, the school still organizes students to come to the small fishing village. Although the memory of those students seems to have watched an ordinary party last night, there must be something special about this small fishing village today. .Maybe those monsters who went to school last night came from this small fishing village.

But so far, this small fishing village seems to have nothing special except that many dugongs have been hunted and killed in the past.The dugong is considered the archetype of the mermaid.

Could those humanoid monsters with scales and webbed hands last night have something to do with dugongs?But shouldn't the mermaid's lower body have a fish tail? The lower body of those monsters is not a fish tail.

The information he has obtained so far is still too little, and he still doesn't know much about the current world situation, so he can't deduce complete information based on the few clues.

The afternoon is free time for activities. After the teacher told the students to pay attention to safety, they were asked to disband on the spot.

Calamus and the others walked towards the beach, preparing to go "treasure hunting" in the sand by the beach.Shang Lu had no idea how to go back, so he simply followed Calamus to the beach.

Perhaps because they didn't want to be disturbed by other students on their treasure hunt, Changpu chose the direction to go to the beach without meeting many people along the way, and it was getting farther and farther away from the gathering place.

After walking for a while, Calamus and the others stopped on a piece of sand and scattered all over the sand, digging and digging, probably to see if there was anything new in the sand.

Shanglu was not interested in "Taobao", and really didn't know what to do, so he just sat on the sand and watched Changpu and the others dig a hole.

"Eh, what is this?"

Calamus seemed to have dug something in the sand, so he quickly called Bai Yu and the others to help.

Seeing the three of them gathered together, Shang Lu was a little curious, did he really dig something.He couldn't help standing up and walking over there.

When they got closer, they just saw Calamus and the others dug out a stone sculpture from the sand.It is about three meters long, and the calamus three worked together to dig it out. It looks a bit like a fish.Shanglu approached and looked carefully, and found that it was very similar to the dugong he had seen on his mobile phone before.

It is estimated that the stone sculptures were made when the village mainly hunted and killed dugongs in the past. Now that the killing of dugongs has been banned, these stone sculptures have been thrown away.

Changpu and the others saw that what they dug out was a stone sculpture, they lost interest in an instant, and continued digging in another place.

When the teacher came to call for assembly, Calamus and the others found nothing but a few shells, and walked to the assembly point dejectedly.

When we assembled to go back to school, it was getting late, and looking at the sky, it looked like it was going to rain.While they were waiting for the bus to go back to school, the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the light of the sky, and suddenly it looked like it was dark.

Looking at the dark sky, Shang Lu's heart skipped a beat, and then he saw the monster from last night appearing in front of him, and at a glance, it almost blocked the way ahead.And now, they are walking towards the gathering place.

Just when Shanglu wanted to repeat the old trick and use fire to expel the monster.It started to rain in the sky, at first it was just a drizzle, but in a blink of an eye it became heavier and heavier, and instantly made people feel cold.

But those monsters were extremely excited under the rain, and even their walking speed increased a lot.

It was raining too much, and the fire couldn't be ignited at all. There was no other way, Phytophthora could only run in the opposite direction, planning to find a place to hide first.The surrounding students had already dispersed in different directions.

While running, Phytophthora grabbed the calamus along with him.Subconsciously, he felt that it was better to stay with this person.

Shanglu ran towards the fishing village, and he didn't see anyone along the way.The fishing village, which was still very lively during the day, is now deserted, and the villagers seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

In other words, they all turned into monsters at night.Thinking of this possibility, Phytophthora got goosebumps all over his body.I had eaten at the villagers' homes during the day, but it was hard to imagine that they would become monsters at night.

Thinking that the food he ate during the day might have been made by those monsters, Phytolaca felt a twitch in his stomach and felt a little nauseous.

Running around is not an option.Shanglu ran into a fisherman's house and closed the door.Pulling the calamus to hide in the house, slowly probe through the window to observe the situation outside.

There is no sign of the monster outside the window yet.It is estimated that the students dispersed, and the monsters dispersed to chase the students.They ran so fast just now, the monster probably couldn't find it for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Shanglu found firewood from the house and lit it to keep warm.The rain was so heavy that the clothes were all wet, and it was easy to catch a cold if the clothes were wet.If you don't dry your clothes first, before the monster finds you, your body probably won't be able to bear it.And with ready-made fire, when the monsters really come, there is also a defense.

After drying the clothes and gradually recovering his body, Shanglu breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Calamus, feeling a little strange.

He hadn't spoken a word along the way, and now he lowered his head and remained silent, a bit unlike him.

Before Shang Lu could ask, there was movement outside the window.

Several students ran towards this side, followed by several monsters.The heavy rain hindered the movement of the students, but facilitated the monster. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the monster was about to catch up with those students.

Shanglu was debating whether to go out, after all, those students had their own problems.

Before Shang Lu could finish his entanglement, the students in front disappeared out of thin air.

Shang Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked carefully, and indeed disappeared.He couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't go out, otherwise those students would disappear, but he would be surrounded by monsters, it would be more harm than good.

But how those students disappeared, Shanglu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, it could only further prove that those students were also unusual.

But although the students were gone, the monster was still outside the window.Shanglu stared at their movements with bated breath, lest they find someone in the house.

The monsters turned around like headless chickens for a while, then went straight forward.

After confirming that there were no traces of monsters outside, Shanglu turned around.

When he saw Calamus, he found that his clothes were still wet, "Why don't you dry your clothes?"

After Shanglu finished speaking, he didn't get any response from Changpu. He thought it was because his voice was too low that he didn't hear him, so he slowly took a step closer to Changpu, and when he was about to ask again, Changpu raised his head.

Shang Lu was caught off guard, and directly made eye contact with Calamus. Looking at those dark eyes, Shang Lu suddenly felt a chill, and felt that something was wrong.
