no puppet

When I woke up, there seemed to be some faint light in the sky.

Yin Chun half-opened his eyes, feeling that the twilight was far away at the sea level, so weak that it was almost blurred, as if he couldn't touch it no matter what.

The surroundings are also unprecedentedly quiet and peaceful. The noisy human voices that were entrenched in the ears, as well as the earth-shaking waves and strong winds, seem to have stopped abruptly at that brief moment when the white light suddenly appeared.

"Xie Hengyan?"

Yin Chun's voice was already hoarse, and he managed to raise his head, but what he could see in front of his eyes was a gray mist.

"Xie Hengyan?!" Yin Chun yelled again, but still didn't get a half-sentence answer, "Yanyan, where are you... at least answer me!"

At that time, he was submerged in the bone-chilling sea water, beside him were the countless broken pieces of wood left on the sea surface after the collapse of the big ship, and the dilapidated wooden boxes that surfaced after the sinking of the warehouse. He could probably recognize which side was the bow. , which side is the stern, including the sails and masts that were broken in the strong wind, can almost be clearly identified.

——Everything seems to be almost the same as before.

But when Yin Chu stretched out his arms and swam several times around the area within sight, he never saw any familiar figure in the group.

There was no cry for help, no cry, and no Xie Hengyan by his side... There was nothing, the world he saw was like a blank sheet of paper.

Yin Chun has searched the surrounding area many times, including all the broken wooden boxes visible on the water surface, and countless parts of the hull that are cracked and scattered, but he has found all the inconspicuous corners that can be used to hide people. Through the bottom.

In the end, Xie Hengyan was still nowhere to be seen.

"Thank you Hengyan!"

Yin Chun's eyes became darker and darker. At this moment, he seemed to be the only living person left in the world, immersed in the sea water as if he had lost his soul, and for a moment he didn't know where to go.

He still vaguely remembered that a huge wave suddenly hit him just now, and the distance between him and Xie Hengyan was only a few inches at that time—maybe if he poked a little further, Yin Chun could completely smash him Hold the arms together.

...But Yin Chun didn't react immediately, the waves came too suddenly at that time, Xie Hengyan's whole body was completely powerless, and she curled up at the bottom of the box as if falling apart, unable to struggle outward at all.

Therefore, after the huge wave that was caught off guard, Yin Chun was forced to be involved in the fast and turbulent water, Xie Hengyan also rolled and fell into the bottom of the water, and even the whole wooden box was sinking continuously—Yin Chun could feel it. The puppet's aura is close at hand, unexpectedly this time all the way up from the bottom of the water, everyone around him seems to have evaporated in place, and there is a vast expanse above the huge sea, except for the small half of the ship that was broken before, Yin Chu can no longer None of them appeared in front of them.

The current situation made him feel extremely disturbed.Because there are usually only two outcomes, either Yin Chun himself broke through the barrier, and everyone else was forced to stay inside the barrier, unable to get out of it when the huge wave rolled.

And the other one is completely the opposite—this is what Yin Chun hopes, even if he is left here alone, as long as Xie Hengyan can successfully break into the outside world, his severely damaged wooden body...maybe be able to get a certain amount. degree of repair.

Yin Chun was looking forward to it at first, he wanted Xie Hengyan to live more than anything else.

——But the facts often do not meet people's wishes, but continue to extend in another completely opposite direction.

Just when Yin Po was immersed in the water and tried to grab a piece of driftwood and continue to search elsewhere, a series of piercing and sharp birdsong suddenly came from above his head.

Yin Chun originally thought that there were drowned floating corpses nearby, which attracted a group of birds of prey that eat the dead human flesh for a living.But when he heard the sound of flapping wings getting closer to him, as well as the very familiar croaking bursts in his ears, he felt that he was probably far away from the beach at this moment, and there was no place where those carnivorous raptors could rest.

Now what is it that is clamoring and circling above its head... what could it be?

Yin Chun raised his eyes suddenly, and it was only then that he saw clearly that there were more than a dozen huge falcons that were brown and black in the sky, shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, and buzzed one after another!

...really a falcon!

Yin Zhu once suspected that he had hallucinations.

There will be a falcon here, could it be that...

"!!!"

In an instant, he realized that he was about to reach into his sleeve to fetch a few pieces of talisman paper for suppression, but it was too late.

Because at the same time, a sharp and long eagle whistle sounded suddenly in the middle of the sea—then the slender figure of the woman stepped across the water, touched lightly on the broken logs floating around her, and looked up at the circling sky. All the falcons ordered sharply: "Falcon... catch him for me!"

Yin Chun had no time to dodge, once those ferocious strange birds received the order, they would attack him like a storm!

All of a sudden, the broad sea, which should have calmed down without wind and waves, once again set off bursts of loud and fierce hissing.Yin Chun had been busy working on the ship for several days, and Fang had suffered such a ruthless catastrophe. Now he was already exhausted, so when the birds flew up, he had no way to resist at all.

In the chaos, only Rong Shilian's sinister, heavy, distorted, but expressionless pale face could be vaguely seen.At that time, she was drenched all over, and her slender body was trembling in the sea breeze, so the weight of her whole body was almost maintained temporarily by the falcon flying back and forth.

"Where's the little monster?" Rong Shilian shouted loudly, "And those damned monsters... where did you hide them?"

Yin Chun didn't speak, and Rong Shilian made a gesture, and the falcons quickly flew away, taking the initiative to make an empty path for her.Under the cold golden sunlight among the clouds in the morning, Rong Shilian stretched out his hand to lift Yin Chun's collar, his gaze was as sharp and ferocious as a knife blade: "Speak, where are they all?"

"I don't know." Yin Zhu's complexion was gloomy, his whole body was almost surrounded by a layer of dead air, his voice was hoarse and heavy, as if he had almost touched the edge of despair.

Rong Shilian just looked at him, then let go of her hand as if being pricked by a needle.After a while, she asked herself incredulously: "Could it be that...they are all trapped in the barrier?"

"..."

Yin Chun didn't answer, nor nodded or shook his head.

"No...impossible!" Rong Shilian's face turned a bit ugly, "The gap in the barrier was so big just now, the whole ship rushed out with the waves, why didn't they come out together? "

Yin Chun's expression was indifferent, as if what she said had nothing to do with him.

"Why are you pretending to be dumb? Answer me!" Rong Shilian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help shouting, "How could they not come out?!"

Yin Chun didn't even look at her, he just said dumbly: "... how do I know?"

Now that Rong Shilian was able to summon the Falcon from Rong's mansion, that only shows one thing - after a sudden huge wave just now, Xie Hengyan was washed away together with the rest of the people, and they couldn't escape from the gap in the barrier. Edge get away.

And now what is the most ridiculous thing?All the people who should have come out did not come out, and Rong Shilian, who should not be released the least, was together with Yin Chun, and he was the only one left in the empty sea at this moment, standing face to face and staring blankly.

Yin Chun only thought it was funny, it was so funny that he couldn't tell.Afterwards, he couldn't hold back, and stood in front of Rong Shilian, his laughter was ironic and sad that he had never seen before.

"What are you laughing at?" Rong Shilian asked incredulously, "You miss that person so much, and now life and death are uncertain...why do you still laugh?"

Yin Chun laughed, and then said no more, but Rong Shilian was slightly stagnant, and then he understood, his expression became a little complicated and unspeakable.

"Why, do you think... that the little monster escaped a catastrophe because it didn't come out?" Rong Shilian's face twisted, and he taunted him, "Then you are totally wrong, Yin Zhen, he Even if it didn't fall into my hands, how long can he live in the box with his half useless wood now that the hull is destroyed?"

long time?one day?

Why didn't Yin Chun carefully calculate the time?

"No matter where he died..." He smiled lightly and said indifferently, "It's better than dying in your Rong Mansion."

It was the only fluke he had at last.

But Rong Shilian couldn't understand why Yin Chu got lucky.Because in her eyes, death represented the end, which also meant admitting defeat.

——In this earth-shattering struggle, she alone won vigorously, while all the others were losers, and they were just ugly foils along the way.

"What's there to laugh about?" Rong Shilian said to Yinzhu, word by word, "I won...Yinzhu, do you understand, I won!"

Yin Chun remained silent all the time, and Rong Shilian could hardly find the desolation of a defeated person on his indifferent face... On the contrary, his expression was still sarcasm, Rong Shilian couldn't even tell for a moment, what was his reason? Ironic about something.

Maybe it was because of her in front of him, or maybe it was just for himself.

"I think you are crazy."

Rong Shilian shook his head, finally raised his hand, and summoned a group of raptors flying high beside him: "It's time for the sea ship sent by Rong's house to support - Falcon, hurry back to the house to inform my elder brother, Ask him to send an extra group of people to take a boat to inspect this area carefully. Maybe the monster has already come out of the barrier, but it’s just that it’s been too late to show itself..."

The sunshine in the early morning was icy cold and wet like never before, but now it is shining on the countless wood residues on the water surface, as if it is igniting the last sliver of hope.

"Also, I have to find a way to let that old man from the Biyu Mansion know... I have made a great contribution today and brought back his 'good' apprentice."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Life and death are happening every day...

Tomorrow the perspective will switch to Yanyan, today is just a brief foreshadowing.

I will tell you the facts, Yin Zhu is much worse than Xie Hengyan...

ps, here Yin Chun and Rong Shilian have time to talk, why he didn't take action to resist, in fact, it is because he is already very tired, tired and tired, and he has no energy to continue to fight in this situation!

And about the falcons in Rongfu, they are not ordinary falcons, they can understand human speech after training and training, and they are far more ferocious than ordinary birds...Anyway, they can do things that ordinary eagles cannot do. arrive.

For example, the puppet bird raised by Xie Cong is the same~
