I Was Once a Legend
89 Domingo
Cui Zuojing rolled on the spot immediately, but the sharp axe did not hack as expected.
The arrow of the crossbow arrow emerged from its chest, and blood dripped from the arrow down the blood trough.
The axe released his hand, and he looked down at the arrow that pierced it from the back incredulously. There were several vague and dull sounds in his chest, which turned into a black mist and dissipated.
Cui Zuojing got up from the ground, and the blond-eyed man was standing opposite him, holding his crossbow flat, his face indifferent.
Domingo and Cui Zuojing glanced at each other, drawing another crossbow from their waists, winding, sideways, raising their hands, aiming, and pulling the trigger.
The arrow made of metal seemed to bring a stream of streamers, and in the "sweeping" air-breaking sound, it pierced the pipe that had just jumped to the top, and was planning to plop and investigate the captain, biting the other who broke his neck. The head of a cat.
The monster died on the spot.
Dong Zheng, who was raising his hand and poking it away with a stick, was silly.
Domingo slowly withdrew his hands, his gray eyes like the temporary sky at night.He was tall and stood upright. The whole person seemed like a tall cedar in the ice and snow of Northern Europe. Even if the sky collapsed, it would not damage the cold and lonely breath of him.
Not at all like a Spanish.
Dong Zheng frowned.
He stood next to Cui Zuojing, couldn't hold back, and whispered to the teenager: "I would have killed it immediately."
Cui Zuojing waved his hand, Dong Zheng did not have the ability to add bonuses, nor did he have the right weapons. It was already very good to be able to do this: "Have you been injured?"
Dong Zheng showed Cui Zuojing a bleeding wound on the back of his right hand: "Just scratched it."
Cui Zuojing sighed: "Fool."
Domingo hung his crossbows around his waist, walked over to squat down next to the cats and dogs, and fiddled with the extra lush hair around the neck of the monster, saying: "This is a legendary monster in Scandinavia. , The Latin name is Gulon, which means Gluttony.
"They are naturally greedy. When they find food, they will devour it until they can't swallow it. At that time, they will trap their bodies between the narrow branches, squeeze the abdomen desperately, so that all the food in the abdomen will be excreted. Until there is only one white bone left in the prey.
"While hunting, they used to hide on high branches and suddenly jumped down to attack."
Cui Zuojing also remembered it. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and cut one of Gulon's front paws into Dong Zheng's pocket: "This thing's paws on his head can treat dizziness and tinnitus. It should be useful to you."
Dong Zheng silently accepted it. He stared at Domingo and put a hand on Cui Zuojing's shoulder.
As if to announce something.
Domingo didn't feel very good for Dong Zheng. To be precise, it was a strong sense of crisis.
More knowledgeable than him, better than he can fight, and saved Cui Zuojing at a critical moment.
"Thank you for saving me." Cui Zuojing said, "But why are you here? Are you not with Dong Linhai?"
Domingo said concisely: "Lost on the road."
Bullshit.Cui Zuojing rolled his eyes in his heart. The central garden is on the deck. Can you lose it all the way to the power cabin?
People with a discerning eye can hear Domingo lying, but since the person doesn't want to say more, it's not good to chase his face and ask questions, after all, he has just saved him.
"Okay, I can't see that you are still a lunatic." Cui Zuojing smiled, no matter how he thought about it, and how much bad water was in his stomach, Cui Zuojing was like a simple teenager when he smiled. Because humans and animals are harmless, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance.
"What attacked me just now? You should be so knowledgeable."
"Iblis, Iblis, was created by the Smokeless Flame, because he did not want to bow down to the human beings made of black mud, refused to kneel down to his ancestor Adan, and accepted the sentence of being expelled to hell before the end of the trial. For revenge , They vowed to do everything possible to lead all humans off course."
The three crew members only came to a halt at this time. They did not expect that the guests who actively applied to join the search were so powerful that they suddenly turned them from protectors into protected persons.
"Stolen people are these things? Shouldn't they all be monsters in mythology? How could they really exist?"
Cui Zuojing shrugged, but he could not explain to the crew that this is not the real world, only silence.
At this time, other teams who received the search captain's signal also came over, and when they saw the two monsters on the ground, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
Gulon, who was stunned by Cui Zuojing, was still alive. The crew tied it and the body of his companion to the stick with rope, just like the ancient people carried pigs, carrying these two fierce monsters to report.
Cui Zuojing originally planned to leave. Judging from the lack of food on the ship, there were only three stowaways, exactly two Gulons and one Ibrese.
But Domingo turned his head to look in a certain direction and frowned slightly.
This success stopped Cui Zuojing.
Dong Zheng also looked in that direction. From the kernel of the program that calmed down after entering the box, there was suddenly a trace of abnormal fluctuations.
It was a totally chaotic, disorderly fluctuation.
"What's wrong?" Cui Zuojing asked in a low voice.
"There seems to be something." Dong Zheng replied, "Go and see."
While the crew were studying the chaos of Gulon, Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng sneaked away, Dong Zheng could only vaguely perceive the general position, the layout of the power cabin was very complicated, he took Cui Zuojing around and around, Finally gradually approached the source of the fluctuation.
Domingo followed silently, saying nothing or saying nothing.
They found a small box in a very secret, almost completely surrounded by a pipe. The box was slap-sized and closed on all four sides. Dong Zheng carefully looked at it several times and found nowhere to open it.
That chaotic energy fluctuation came from the box.
On the small piece of ground where the box was placed, there was a black hexagram.
Dong Zheng: "Solomon Seal?"
The Solomon seal, also known as the hexagram, a large satellite, was placed on the national flag of Israel as a symbol of Jewish culture.
It is rumored that King Solomon has a ring with a six-pointed star that drives the power of the ring, and inside is sealed the king of the devil, Asmode, so Solomon can "hold the prince and command the princes" and let other demons work for him.
"Is this box sealed?" Cui Zuojing flicked the box lightly. He could only pick out what was in it, but could not judge the specific situation.
Judging from the two monsters that appeared just now, Dusk Island and mysticism have a certain relationship with Zhiguai. Unfortunately, Cui Zuojing does not understand these things.
If Fu Zhe is here, with his breadth of knowledge, it will certainly be much smoother.
But... Domingo seems to know a lot?Even an image from Islam, such as Ibrese, can say the truth.
Cui Zuojing is a little puzzled. If Dong Zheng can feel the six-pointed star seal because the ability belongs to the spiritual realm, it is the brain and the developer, what is the reason for Domingo?
He found it even earlier than Dong Zheng. If it were not for him, he and Dong Zheng would not notice it.
He turned his head to look at Domingo. The man stood behind them. The silver-white crossbow hung on his waist. The pattern was complicated, the structure was smooth and tensioned, and there was a cold silver light.
When Cui Zuojing saw it, he saw at first glance that it was an excellent weapon, so good that it made him feel itchy.
Domingo's lips twitched, and he seemed to want to smile at him, but he was quickly suppressed, saying: "You can handle it at will, don't worry about me."
This sentence just said that Cui Zuojing was at heart. He was originally afraid that Domingo would compete with him and Dong Zheng for the ownership of the box. After all, this must be an important customs clearance item.
"Then we're welcome." Without unnecessary disputes, Cui Zuojing was happy, put the box away, and didn't forget to say, "Thank you, brother."
Domingo: "It's fine."
Dong Zheng:…………………………
He became more and more uncomfortable.
The three were ready to leave the power cabin. This time it became Domingo walking at the front. Cui Zuojing looked at his back, thoughtfully.
Where did he meet this person?Always feel... a bit familiar?
Domingo should take them along the nearest path, and Cui Zuojing did not know how he was so familiar with the power cabin structure.
They walked on the plank road, stepping on the iron plate and making a rattling sound. Cui Zuojing glanced down, and suddenly his eyes were stagnant.
"What's that?" He asked Dong Zheng by cuffing, pointing at the row of pipes below.
Dong Zheng looked along his fingers, and the bones were scattered scattered on the pipes. The hollow structure of the ribs obviously belonged to a person.
"Any other people have been eaten?" Dong Zheng murmured.
Indeed, nearly 50 hours have passed since the food was strictly controlled. The previous crew had only been eaten a part, which is probably not enough for the three monsters.
And according to Gulon's hunting style, it really looks like they eat it.
Domingo seemed to think of something, frowning, and expressions other than expressionless expression on his face were rare.
Dong Zheng: "Let's go, tell the captain first, if this person has been missing for a long enough time, it is impossible for no one to find out."
They went to the deck, and all the search teams were gathered here. There were two Gulons under the captain's feet. The stunned one had already woken up and was howling.
No matter the crew or the crew of the program group, there are many fears hiding behind, only the pilgrims are indifferent.
The captain asked the program crew to borrow a microphone and chanted: "Gentlemen and ladies, as you can see, these two compatriots have killed these two compatriots these days, and the stowaways that have caused everyone to panic are these two monsters. Now they I have been caught and no more dangerous things will happen, please rest assured."
"Please come over, I want everyone to be a witness. From today on, no creatures who ran to the ship without permission disturbed us."
Four strong crew members stepped forward, lifted the two Gulons separately, and threw them into the sea under the watch of everyone.
The wide sea immediately engulfed the two monsters, and the splashing water quickly calmed down.
People cheered and clapped. Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng stood at the back of the crowd and applauded symbolically.
Domingo didn't know where he was going anymore, this man was like a ghost, the trail was a mystery.
Cui Zuojing looked around and gave up without seeing him.
It doesn't matter much to him anyway.
