Also included is the question of...it may contain secret messages left by Britney Skye. Chapter 27 The Stink Retracting the pocket telescope with a rope, Carlo spat out the leaves that no longer had any bitter taste, and turned around with a frown. In the afternoon, approaching dusk, the temperature was still high, and his companions: two Shadow Lion agents also came out of the jungle to get some fresh air - a spacious environment is better than a cramped environment at any time. "How is it?" Ethan picked up the kettle and drank some water, then handed the kettle to Zafira. Zafira also drank a little, and like Ethan, stared at Carlo's face. "Just like that~" The blond knight spread his hands, "There is indeed black smoke... and there is more than one, but if they can't get through, we can't get through either. Don't expect it in the short term." "Can you think of a way to at least confirm the other party's identity?" Zafira said. "It's difficult." Before Carlo could answer, Ethan began to shake his head. "The flares and gunpowder in the bag were all soaked. There's nothing we can do except burn smoke like the other side and confirm each other's position." The mountain where the three people fell was quite spacious, with a total area of nearly half of the golf course. And they were lucky enough to find a total of seven emergency rescue kits after searching nearby.
Each rescue bag contains enough dry food and fresh water for one person to survive for a week. Although some of the food and water are damaged or soaked... with these supplies, and some fruits and fern roots to eat, they can survive for a long time. Relatively speaking, this mountain is farther away from other peaks. The nearest mountain peak is ten meters away. If you want to move your position, you have to find a way to cross this distance, which means walking across the uneven and narrow ridge like a knife edge. Not to mention how to maintain balance at an altitude of hundreds of meters, there is a strong depression in the middle of the ridge. So they haven't considered taking this path yet. Carlo glanced at them and said nothing. He already knew that Frick and Hitzfeld were definitely fine, but Blood Spirit Art was a secret between him and Frick, and he didn't want to reveal it unless it was absolutely necessary. "You two injured people rest here." He picked up a thick wooden stick and walked forward. "I'm going to look around and see if I can get some more food." "This bastard is surprisingly reliable." Watching the blond knight walking away, Zafira couldn't help but complain. When he learned about his situation, especially when he found out that both he and Ethan had broken bones, Zafira was actually a little pessimistic. Unexpectedly, this usually neurotic Flintstone Knight was quite reliable. Not only did he find wooden sticks and weave straw ropes to fix his limbs, he also had amazing throwing skills. He could hunt seabirds with just a handful of stones and a wooden stick. "The captain once guessed that they were sent here by the Central Diocese for another purpose." Ethan snorted twice, "You shouldn't have underestimated such guys from the beginning." "Snapped!" On the other side of the jungle, a bird that looked very much like a black-tailed seagull was hit by a stone. It fell down with a squawk and was knocked unconscious by Carlo who rushed over with a stick. Carlo lifted the thing up by its neck and weighed it. Good, we can improve the food tonight. "quack!" A burst of dense calls accompanied by the sound of flapping wings came from far away.
Before Carlo could react, a large group of black-tailed seagulls suddenly flew out from the gap in the cliff about seven or eight meters ahead, which was also close to the deep ravine in the direction of the thick fog. "so much!" Carlo was slightly startled. He did not think about shooting down a few more. Instead, he tightly gripped the stick and concentrated his mind. If Frick were here, he might have discovered something wrong based on speculation like "seabirds in small places have almost no natural enemies, so there must be a special reason for the unusual movement of the birds." But for Carlo, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong - and that was enough. Next, as he watched, three huge gray-feathered strange birds, which looked like small airplanes, rose from below along with the flock of birds. The reason why they are called strange birds is not only because of their huge size, but also because of their overly slender beaks and heads that seem to have no protrusions at all. There was no difference between the head and neck, like a smooth water pipe, making the body appear a little bloated and sluggish. They are undoubtedly the top predators here, and they charge into the flock of birds like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep. The seagulls screamed in panic and fled in all directions, filling the air with falling feathers and screaming noises. While the three strange birds were hunting a flock of seabirds, Carlo hid in the grass and secretly observed the killing. The battle ended very quickly. The bird's claws were like two cutting knives, and one impact could kill or injure four or five seagulls. Most of these seagulls fell off the cliff, but some also fell on the open space in front. Carlo stared at the corpses of the seagulls. He wanted to wait until the strange birds left before collecting the bodies. But what happened next made his eyes widen. Three strange birds landed on the cliff, and took the initiative to tear all the seagull corpses into pieces and threw them down. Are these things crazy? The young knight's eyes widened. It was the first time he had seen such behavior. Such a waste... and many more. Isn't that what they eat? With his limited knowledge on the subject, he couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being. After the strange bird disappeared, he waited for a while, quietly came to the edge of the cliff, and stuck his head out to look down. All you can see is gray feathers that almost cover the entire horizon. There were at least fifty of them. I don’t know what’s further away as it’s all covered by white fog. Carlo's first reaction was to retract his head.
Then he waited for a while and found that there seemed to be no danger and these things did not discover him. So what are they doing lying there? After hesitating for a while, driven by curiosity, he stuck his head out for the second time, and tried to probe as far as possible. After finding the right angle, he saw the strange bird closest to him... It used its long and thin beak to probe into a hole with a diameter of less than 5 centimeters, and lay there motionless. Just as he was wondering what was going on, a light breeze mixed with hot air blew towards him. Carlo's face suddenly changed color, he shrank back, fell to the ground and began to retch. …… At the southern edge of Brays Island, Xia Yibing returned to the camp. "Um--!" Before she even got close, Torres made a sound full of disgust. "You...why do you stink so badly?" This smell...is horrible! He stared at the woman in shock, unable to understand how she could have become like this after just one outing. If you don’t take a shower… no one will have any. There is definitely a peculiar smell, but it shouldn’t be so exaggerated? Cybertron next to her didn't say anything, and even didn't pinch her nose out of politeness, but judging from her lips that had turned into wavy lines, breathing such air was indeed painful. “It was an unexpected discovery.” Xia Yibing shook her head. "Don't you think this smell is familiar?" "You said familiar..." The two were stunned, and then Torres glared: "Mud monster?" Mix together blood, rotten flesh, excrement, corpses of aquatic creatures, all the sources of stench he could imagine, and then ferment them for ten thousand years. As far as he could remember, he had only experienced a similar unique stench once, when he encountered a mud monster. "Did Agent Xia Sha encounter those monsters?" The pink-haired nun asked with concern. "No." Xia Yibing shook her head again, and then briefly described the process of her encounter with the strange bird and how she killed it. "I didn't bring the body back... the smell was too strong, so I left it in the grass along the way." "But... as you can feel, its adhesion is too strong. This cannot be solved for the time being."
"Agent Xiasha." Torres frowned at her. "Do you suspect that there are also rotten...dissolving corpses nearby?" This time the woman finally nodded. Not bad. When the strange bird first appeared, the stench was not very obvious, and she ignored it because she was in a nervous state. But after she cut its neck, and especially when she got close and picked up the body, the smell was so strong that it was horrible. obviously. The source of the stench is inside the body of the strange bird - it is basically confirmed that it is the yellow-white liquid sprayed from the fracture. So where did this liquid come from? Before a second creature that could emit such a stench appeared, she could only speculate that these strange birds had hunted the corpse-dissolving monster. And it was likely not far away. It sounds a bit horrifying at first, after all, this strange suspended island should be very far away from the beach where they found the dissolved corpse. But she believes it is necessary to be vigilant about this. However, she was somewhat surprised by the reactions of the two priests. No questions, no arguments. The two of them leaned over and talked in low voices for a while, then Cybertron stood up and faced her. "Agent Xiasha." "I'm listening." "We are going to share a secret with you." "…What kind of secret?" "ability." The pink-haired nun nodded slightly. "The secret of the appearance of me and Tres." Chapter 28 Dream Demon Xia Yibing was really surprised this time. She was surprised that these two people were both extraordinary people who could manifest spirits, and she was even more surprised that such extraordinary people were willing to reveal the secret of manifesting spirits to her. Because this secret is extremely important to every extraordinary person who can manifest spirits. If it is spread out casually, it may backfire on itself. Take her for example, her "Long Summer" comes from her deepest nightmare. If the content and details of this nightmare - such as the person who died in the nightmare that night, her family...what are the names of her relatives, who they are, and what kind of past they have...if this information is mastered by the Eclipse Church, then the other party can use this information to interfere with her in the next battle against the cultists.
People with weak willpower are not qualified to draw strength from nightmares. If her will was disturbed and weakened during the battle, causing her to fall into that nightmare and be unable to extricate herself, then let alone fighting, she might even begin to corrupt on the spot. So, the secret of the spirit is so important. These two people are willing to reveal it to her. If they were not crazy, then they must have discovered some very important clues through spirit phenomena during the days they were stranded on the island, and this clue was very likely related to the strange bird she encountered. "I want to give you a heads-up - we won't be sharing the details."
