Chapter 156 Investigation Mission Progress +20%
Near the C-91 route, a new unnamed island appeared.
Li Feng and Xia stood in front of a dark cave.
The wind on the island brought the musty smell of the soil in the cave, and the wet and salty smell of the sea in the distance.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, seven figures walked out of the cave.
Slowly, and seemingly tentatively, those people walked to the cave exit, and the sunlight leaking through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves finally shone on them.
With the bright sunshine, Li Feng finally saw those people clearly.
All of them looked bleak and looked nervous or numb.
But looking at their whole bodies, there is no sallow complexion, no missing arms or legs.
Moreover, there were no obvious scars or dirt caused by not cleaning up in time.
Looking at them, Li Feng and Xia couldn't help but look at each other, and they were both confused.
How is this going?
Could it be that the ogre locked them up, gave them water and food, and took good care of them?
But if this is the case, then why do the ogres do this?
Is it true that you need to gain weight before eating?
Although there were many questions running through my mind, they actually only lasted a moment.
Soon, the seven humans had tentatively moved out of the cave.
They were confused and even looked at Li Feng and the black cat next to him with a little fear.
At the same time, Li Feng also saw a young man wearing a blue plaid shirt walking at the front of the group of people.
Thinking of Captain Andrew's words, Li Feng asked:
"Are you Mark?"
"Ah, I...I..."
He must have experienced something. When he heard Li Feng's question, Mark was at a loss, his face full of fear and sluggishness.
Looking at Mark and the men like him behind him, Li Feng comforted him softly:
"I'm here with Captain Andrew to rescue you."
After Li Feng said these words, the other side looked like a pool of stagnant water. They just stared at each other, but remained silent.
It was as if they had been isolated from the world for a long time and had difficulty communicating.
The breeze blowing from the sea shook the leaves for about a minute.
The young man in the blue plaid shirt named Mark whispered to his companion:
"Someone is coming to save us!"
Xu Shi finally figured it out, and like Mark, others around him gradually came to their senses.
"The captain has not forgotten us."
"We are saved."
Gradually, the pool of stagnant water on the opposite side began to flow.
They either burst into tears or hugged each other and cried. Finally, they had the reaction that a person who survives from a desperate situation should have.
Looking at their state, Li Feng became more convinced that the ogres were not simply keeping them here.
There must be something behind this.
They cried and howled like this for a while, and as they cried, their bodies became more alive.
But while they were crying with joy, Captain Andrew's brother Mark suddenly remembered something and asked them to silence themselves quickly.
Hearing Mark's reminder, the other crew members covered their mouths with fear on their faces.
Then, Mark, who had almost returned to normal, tentatively stepped forward and said to Li Feng:
"Sir, there are ogres on this island, and we were captured by those ogres.
Sir, where is my brother? Let's leave this island quickly. "
Mark felt that his mind was confused at this time, as if his thinking ability had been exhausted, but instinctively, he wanted to escape from here.
Upon hearing this, Li Feng first looked at the camp through the perspective of the paper servant.
There was nothing unusual in the camp, and Captain Andrew and the others seemed to be waking up.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, Li Feng said to Mark:
"Captain Andrew and the others are at the ogre camp at the moment."
Seeing that Mark was so frightened that he could hardly stand, Li Feng immediately added:
"Don't worry, all the ogres in the camp have been eliminated. Captain and the others are safe."
Hearing Li Feng's words, Mark was a little confused. His thinking was slow now and he couldn't understand what happened.
Those ogres who were so tall and powerful... just died like that?
Is the writing so casual?
Mark couldn't understand it now, but looking at the expression on the gentleman in front of him, Mark still chose to believe it.
"Did those ogres keep you here?"
Li Feng asked Mark. Judging from Mark's condition, it would be difficult for him to take the initiative to explain anything clearly.
"right--"
Mark nodded and tried to recall what happened a few days ago, but he still seemed to be concerned.
"On the day of the storm at sea, were all the crew members who fell overboard here?"
Li Feng asked as he led Mark and others back to the camp.
"right."
Mark looked back at his companion and thought again:
"Yes, there are seven of us."
"You swam to this island together that day, right?"
Something felt wrong, and Li Feng wanted to ask for all the details.
"Well--"
Mark patted his head, as if trying to remember something:
"It doesn't seem to be the case. There was a lot of wind and waves that day..."
"It was the ogre who fished us out of the sea! I saw it all!"
A voice suddenly came from behind Li Feng. A crew member who had just gone overboard said anxiously.
He strode to Li Feng's side and continued:
"I remember that I didn't eat much of what the ogre gave me. I know everything that happened."
Li Feng looked at the man. Although he was emotional, his eyes were much clearer than those of the other crew members.
He didn't look dull.
But at the same time, compared to the others, this man looked pale and thin, and was weak. It was obvious that he had been hungry for a long time.
"So what happened to you?"
Li Feng asked as he took out a water bag and handed it to the crew member.
The crew member took the water bag and immediately drank a few big gulps, then wiped his mouth and said to Li Feng:
"It was a very windy and rough day, the boat was unstable, and several of us accidentally fell off the deck.
But we are good at swimming, and we saw an island here, so we all swam over here.
But when we were still far away from the island, ogres appeared on the sea.
After that, they caught us on the island, locked us in a cave, and gave us food and water.
But I found that as long as I ate the food given by the ogres, my mind would be unclear and my thinking would become more and more confused.
Just like Mark and the others."
The crew member looked at his companions and continued:
"I feel scared, so I dare not eat those things."
After listening to the crew member's words, Li Feng nodded slightly.
It seems that the food given by the problem ogres is indeed problematic, but what is the motive of the ogres?
And according to what the crew member said, when they fell into the water, the ogres came to catch them.
If you think a little more, it seems that the ogres made them fall into the water.
What's more, the sea storm that only happens once every ten years is also related to the ogre?
However, the ogre's IQ is not enough to do such a thing.
"Besides food, have you encountered any strange things?"
Li Feng asked as he walked through the dense jungle. He could already see the camp from a distance.
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing Li Feng's question, the crew member immediately replied:
"I thought it was a dream, but later I saw it when I was awake.
At night, there will be a blue thing floating on us, and then check us carefully."
"Blue thing? Floating? Check?"
Li Feng was confused:
"How does that blue thing check you?"
"It smells with its nose, or sticks to our chest to listen to our heartbeat."
The crew member said, and still looked afraid, and then he continued:
"But sometimes I'm not sure, because when I asked them the next day if they had seen the blue thing, they all said they didn't see it."
"There's something wrong with the food, and there's something wrong with the cave."
After hearing what the crew member said, Xia, who was walking beside him, said to Li Feng through the contract.
Li Feng felt the same way.
While they were talking, they finally walked back to the ogre's camp.
At this time, Captain Andrew and John, as well as the crew members, woke up with a blank look on their faces.
They looked around and saw primitive tents, as well as various corpses and skeletons hanging on the branches around.
The captain and his men were immediately terrified when they saw that there were human skeletons.
But at this moment, some of them saw the charred land in front of them, and the tall charred corpses on the charred land.
"What is this?"
The terrified and helpless crew gathered together, looking at the charred corpses in panic, and no one dared to move.
"What kind of corpse is this?"
"It doesn't seem to be human."
"Could it be..."
As the captain of a hunting ship that hunts extraordinary creatures in the sea, Andrew saw the two-headed corpse and immediately thought of a creature.
"Ogres, they are ogres!"
Hearing about ogres, the crew was shocked again.
The extraordinary creatures they usually come into contact with are at most fish, shrimps and sea snakes in the sea, where are there such human forms.
Captain John, the chief engineer, and the fat gunner were even more panicked, their memories were still completely stuck on the Raid.
How did they suddenly wake up and arrive at a terrifying camp?
"Hey? Where's Mr. Lai Yin? Why isn't Mr. Lai Yin with us?"
At this moment, someone suddenly realized that Li Feng was not here, and asked in a low voice.
"He's there!"
Just as the man asked, Li Feng was bringing back the crew members who fell into the water in the storm that day.
"Oh my God! God of the Seven, how... Mark?"
Seeing Li Feng coming, Captain Andrew was at a loss and wanted to ask, but he happened to see his younger brother Mark who was with Li Feng.
There were also the other crew members who fell into the water that day.
Andrew ignored the charred corpse of the ogre on the ground and immediately ran to Mark.
And Maxwell's sluggish state was much better than before.
He recognized his brother, and the two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After a sigh of recognition, Li Feng roughly told the captain and the others what happened.
Of course, he made a lot of changes on the question of how to kill the ogre.
In order to keep the identity of the Xia dragon confidential, he could only say that he killed those ogres.
"Seven Gods, you actually..."
When Andrew found out that Li Feng was not in the camp, he originally thought that these ogres might have been killed by Li Feng.
But Andrew knew a little about extraordinary creatures, and he felt that it would be too difficult to do it alone.
Besides, he knew that Li Feng was only a second-level hunter.
As a hunter of a low rank, he had to deal with so many powerful ogres, and his chances of winning must be very low.
But in the end he heard Li Feng narrate the process and found out that he had really killed those ogres, and he couldn't help being shocked.
He and John looked at each other and both remembered that rumor.
Rumors say that on the day last month the demons came ashore and attacked Wind's Rest City.
At that time, the Governor of Storm Island, the Ring of the Earth, and many high-level extraordinary beings took action, but they failed to repel the demon.
But in the end, the demon was killed by Li Feng alone in the process of chasing him.
Later, the situation calmed down, and there were rumors among the people that the true god came to the world that day, protected Li Feng, and used his hand to kill the devil.
At the moment, Andrew and John looked at the ogre corpses on the ground and thought about their own inevitable death. They couldn't help but feel that the rumor must be true.
Those gods in another world are really protecting Li Feng.
Help him resolve the crisis and let him accomplish things that are difficult for ordinary people to accomplish.
Thinking of God, when Captain Andrew and Captain John faced Li Feng, they not only burst into tears of gratitude, but also felt a little more respectful.
The crew members who fell into the water during the storm that day looked at the charred corpse of the ogre in shock and confusion.
The ogre that had brought them the greatest fear in the past few days was actually dead. He was actually killed by the young man who came to save them.
It seemed that he was stimulated, fearful, apprehensive, grateful, grateful, all kinds of emotions were intertwined in his heart, and his slow thinking gradually recovered.
Because the potency of the poison has not completely faded away, at this moment Captain Andrew and the poisoned crew members were conscious, but their bodies were still numb and unable to control their movements.
Seeing this, Li Feng asked them to continue to rest in the camp for a while, and he and Shia took this opportunity to return to the cave to take a look.
Because of the way the ogre kept the crew in captivity and what the sober crew member saw and heard in the cave, Li Feng always felt that there was something weird about the cave.
Since the divination results said that storms on the sea would bring opportunities, he could not let go of the problematic cave.
But when the crew heard that Li Feng wanted to return to the cave, they instinctively tried to dissuade him, saying that it was too dangerous.
But the two captains did not persuade him much. Because of the protection of the gods, they now felt that whatever Li Feng did was guided by the gods and was right.
The sun gradually sets in the sky, and the golden sunlight shines on the dense leaves, filling the green with a golden edge.
As the light in front of them became darker and darker, and the earthy smell became stronger, Li Feng and Xia walked into the cave.
"call."
A magical ball of light lit up next to them.
The bright magical light instantly illuminated the surrounding cave.
"There doesn't seem to be anything here."
Shia looked at it and said it was ordinary, not even a cave with carved murals.
Li Feng also looked around. He found that the cave was not too wide, but only a little long. They had not reached the end of the cave yet.
And just like Shia said, there is nothing here except dirt, stones, and weeds.
"Let's go to the end of the cave and take a look."
Li Feng said, holding the flint in his hand vigilantly.
The sober crew member said that every night, something blue would appear in the cave, and that thing would check the status of each crew member.
Li Feng felt that the strangeness of the cave and the behavior of the ogre's captive crew were inseparable from the blue thing.
With this analysis in mind, Li Feng and Xia turned around a stone pillar, and the end of the cave appeared in front of them.
Under the magical light, they saw clearly that there was a sealed wooden box at the end of the cave.
In the middle of the top cover of the wooden box, a doll about twenty centimeters long was solemnly placed.
From a distance, the doll seems to be a doll made of wool.
Moreover, the body was painted with various colors, making it look dirty.
In front of the woolen doll, there was a white candle burning, and the weak flame on the candle remained motionless.
The still candles, combined with the dirty puppets, create a completely weird scene.
But what surprised Li Feng the most was the wooden box cushioned under the dolls and candles.
Because the seal on the wooden box was painted with the logo of Storm's End.
This reminded Li Feng of what he had heard before. In that long storm, Storm's End Castle also lost a lot of goods.
And because the cargo was lost, Storm's End paid great attention to it and sent a fleet to salvage it.
But why do the goods from Storm's End appear here, and why are there such weird things on them?
Many thoughts couldn't help but pop up in his mind. Just as Li Feng was thinking, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him:
[Hunter promotion mission: Investigate gargoyles and kill the mother of gargoyles. 】
[Task reward: Promote another level to the original hunter level. 】
[Mission Progress: +20%]
