018. Shadows in the Darkness

Zhou Xiaowen looked at all this, and after Taozhaide carried his back, he sneaked up and said to the debt: "Little City Lord, is it okay for you to deceive your dad like this?"

He snorted, and took out a little ragged booklet from his pocket of his clothes. It was full of sound pronunciations written in small coal pens, and the words and sentences of chairs, stools, meals, sun, moon, etc. are also annotated below.

"Just just a few words, I'm about to get my brain bigger."

He took a sip of the drink with debt and said with an unhappy look on his face

"What I call communication now is just the simplest, okay? I'm very good and so on. Complex sentences are not that easy to read. I think, in the eyes of these immortals, I am like a fool who is mentally retarded, who can only speak words and can't connect sentences at all, right?"

Put down the wine glass: "My dad is stupid enough. If he really asked him to learn this language, he would probably go crazy."

Zhou Xiaowen flipped through this manual that seemed to be almost full and exclaimed: "But the little town lord, you are also very powerful. In just over a month, you have collected so many languages ​​from Yingxian Island."

Debt shook his head: "What's the use of collecting it alone? The Yingxian seems to have no words of his own. In their eyes, words seem to have some very powerful symbolic meaning, something that only God can use. Language is passed down from generation to generation through oral transmission. I wonder how to achieve the goal if there is only language but no words..."

Zhou Xiaowen: "Purpose? What's the purpose? Has you said that, you haven't mentioned your purpose for coming to this island yet?"

Owe debt to drink another sip of the drink: "I heard that there is a god on Yingxian Island who has a kind of elixir in his hand. We need that kind of elixir to go back and save people."

The hunter seemed to care more: "Save people? Who can save? There is something in this world that Guanghan City Lord cannot do? No, who is that person? He can have such a great face and let the leader of the Central Plains take action personally. He traveled thousands of miles to this Yingxian Island to seek medicine to save people?"

He sighed and seemed helpless: "You know how to save an ordinary farmer. My father has always been a bad mind and will agree to some messy things casually. Isn't this? He brought us to the island."

When Zhou Xiaowen sighed, he owed debt and continued, "But don't tell my father that you know the purpose of our coming here. He always knew that I was against this matter. A city as big as Guanghan City had to take care of it. It was just a joke that he had left for so long for an ordinary farmer. But every time I opposed my father, he would confront me, and it would not make sense. Instead, he would annoy me all day long. For my ears to be purified, don't tell him. Otherwise, he would definitely annoy me."

Zhou Xiaowen nodded and continued to drink.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and after midnight, the atmosphere of the banquet faded slightly.

Around the extinguished bonfires, Yingxian did not return to their huts, but lay down and sleep directly among the grass in the canyon.

The sea breeze is warm, and it also brings this warm wind while blowing salty. Zhou Xiaowen and the debt are now drunk. He is like these heroic immortals lying on the haystacks, enjoying the stars in the sky, and gradually falling asleep peacefully.

Sleeping night. Everything seems so quiet.

Even the sound of waves in the distance seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Yuanshi Xian General's most silent moment was given to this island that seemed to be completely isolated from time...

Quiet……

Quiet.

quiet.

Tao Zhaide suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion, looking at the extinguished bonfire and was also very surprised at the Yingxian lying around.

"I just meditated for a moment...why did they all lie down?"

Tao Zhaide frowned and couldn't figure out the problem. He looked at the debt not far away, and saw that his girl was now opening her mouth and snoring very readily, so he felt relieved. However, when his eyes turned to Zhou Xiaowen on the other side...

A figure is now facing Zhou Xiaowen with a pot with a pot.

And from Zhou Xiaowen who had already fallen asleep and seemed to know nothing, some small things seemed to be drawn, and were sucked into the pot little by little...

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Taozhaide opened his mouth, the man holding the pot seemed to be startled and looked at it. After picking it up, he picked it up and ran away.

If this person did any other moves, Taozhaide might not have done anything yet.

However, as soon as the action of "escape" appeared, Tao Zhaide's instinctive reaction was to jump up immediately, spread his legs and chase the man directly.

"Hey, don't run away"

Taozhaide shouted, his voice echoing in this canyon

But it was obvious that the man was extremely familiar with the terrain in the canyon, remembering when to run and when to jump clearly, on the contrary, Taozhaide tripped several times on the bumpy mud ground because of the unclear terrain and the dark vision at night. The distance between him and the man was getting farther and farther away.

"You stop"

Tao Zhaide shouted, seeing that the other party was about to run away. At that moment, he picked up a ball of mud from the ground and threw it at the man's head.

With a click, the mud ball hit. However, the soft mud ball did not cause much damage. The man holding the pot jumped and finally ran out of the canyon and disappeared.

Taozhaide chased him out and looked left and right. Although the vast island was not big, it was not easy to find someone early in the dark. After searching for him, he quickly turned back. Looking at these Yingxian people who had not woken up because of drunkenness, they immediately rushed to the side of the debt and pushed her to wake her up.

"Girl wake up, wake up"

He yawned his debts and slowly opened his eyes: "What are you doing... Dad... It's not dawn yet..."

Taozhaide was a little nervous and hurriedly said, "Do you feel some pain? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He patted his head with debt: "Woo... my head hurts... I drink without mental power... I will really hurt my head..."

Seeing that this girl seemed to be fine, Taozhaide quickly turned to Zhou Xiaowen over there. At first glance, Zhou Xiaowen seemed to have no problem and was sleeping soundly. Taozhaide quickly reached out to push him, trying to wake him up.

but……

For this hunter who came with him, no matter how he pushed or how he called, he seemed to be unable to wake up. To be continued.
