Chapter 24 Chapter 24 The boy knelt on the ground and coughed suddenly...
The young man knelt on the ground and suddenly started coughing, as if he wanted to cough out all the water he had drunk before. He didn't know what he coughed out, but the sea water he had drunk before was all vomited out without a drop left.
After a long time, he sat on the ground, looked up and found that he had come to a small island. There was a small bright sun above his head, which was very gentle and completely different from the outside.
The island even had green trees and green grass, with furry, round coconut trees hanging on them, and small red fruits on the tips of the grass that looked like snakeberries.
Little red crabs were crawling around with their claws outstretched, and pink starfish were lying on the ground, which was covered with a layer of yellow sand with scattered gray stones.
A man with fish scales on his face squatted beside him and looked at him. When he looked into the man's eyes, he could see that both of the man's eyes were blue, the same color as sea water.
He really wanted to think that the scales on the man's face were caused by some strange disease, but the man's ears looked like some kind of organ of a fish.
He really didn't know what kind of disease would make a person become like this.
The man smiled at him, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Blue Eyes, a resident of Mermaid Island."
"Hello." The young man wanted to reach out his hand but felt it was too dangerous. He felt that the other party had the ability to swallow him up at any time, so he stepped back, kept some distance, and spoke cautiously.
Blue Eyes was not discouraged. He smiled and stretched out his hand, sat opposite him, looked at him, and asked with some confusion and curiosity: "What time is it outside?"
The boy hesitated and shook his head, saying, "I'm not sure. It was still dark when I got here."
Blue Eyes chuckled and said, "I'm not asking you about the time, I'm asking you about the dynasty."
The young man stepped back further and asked cautiously, "How come you don't even know this? Isn't this something everyone knows? Even if you don't know the exact year, you should know the dynasty."
"I haven't been out for a long time," Blue Eyes spread his hands, drew out his voice, which sounded like a whistle, and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me?"
“Why haven’t you been out for so long? This place looks like you can survive, but in fact there are many necessities missing. You look so clean, you don’t seem to be short of necessities.” The young man was very puzzled and said with a frown.
Blue Eyes sighed, looking a little sad, holding his face and said, "The seal was broken recently, so I can send some fish out, but the seal was fine before. I can't get out myself, and things related to me can't get out either. Haven't I been here for a long time?"
The young man frowned, "So, you sent the human-faced fish out there? How did you get it? Did you cultivate it specially?
Or were those fish contaminated by something, so you raised them and released them when you could in order to make people discover you?
Did you let those fishermen catch the fish on purpose?"
The man stared at the boy with blue eyes and smiled: "I sent them out, I didn't cultivate them specially. Those fish existed a long time ago and lived near this island.
But after this place was sealed, it couldn't get out just like me. I didn't raise it on purpose, but I did let it out on purpose to let people outside catch it, so that someone might come here and find me."
He crawled towards the boy, his crawling posture very much like an amphibian such as a lizard or crocodile, and as he crawled, the organ behind his ear stood up like a flag raised before a war.
A dangerous and tense atmosphere permeated.
The young man stepped back quickly and shouted, "Don't move! You just want to be discovered, don't you? Now I've discovered you! I can take you away, my ship and people should still be outside, but if you continue to delay here, you can't be sure what will happen!"
Blue Eyes smiled and said to him, "I can go out just as well after I eat you and become like you. It won't attract any attention. Thank you for coming. We will go out together. Don't worry!"
Although the voice was gentle, the face gradually turned into a scaly, blue-green color. The corners of the mouth were cracked to the ears, revealing a bright red, forked tongue, making the whole person look more like an amphibian reptile.
The boy quickly got up and ran, shouting, "We can still discuss this! You don't have to eat mine! There's a lot of food out there! Much better than mine!"
Blue Eyes laughed loudly and rushed behind him in a blink of an eye. He said to him, "How can the things outside compare to you? You are the first one to fall here after the seal was broken! If I don't eat you, who will I eat? If I don't eat you, I still can't get out. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who set up this seal!"
As he spoke, Blue Eyes threw the boy to the ground and bit his neck.
At the same time, the Swordsman who was in the villa halfway up the mountain heard the system screaming, "Go save the boy! He's dying!"
Although the swordsman didn't understand why, he still stood up, determined the boy's position, and appeared beside him. He just happened to see that Blue Eyes was about to bite off the boy's neck, so he took out his sword and slashed at him.
Blue Eyes felt a sharp pain in his back and screamed. He immediately spat out the neck in his mouth and rolled to the side, trying to avoid the dangerous source that was causing him so much pain.
He didn't know that what was causing him pain was a sword intent, which he couldn't avoid no matter how hard he tried. When he looked up, he was hit. He screamed again and lowered his head to spit out the blood in his mouth.
The ground was quickly stained blood red.
The young man was still in shock. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, shivering, sweating profusely, and his face was pale. He didn't know whether he should get up or what had happened. He could only pray inwardly.
The swordsman took two steps forward, touched the boy with his scabbard, and asked in confusion and concern: "Can you still stand up?"
When the boy was touched by the scabbard, he was caught off guard and shuddered. When he heard the familiar voice, he immediately got up from the ground. He looked up and found that it was the sword holder. His eyes reddened and he suddenly felt very wronged. With tears in his eyes, he choked and complained, "That thing wanted to eat me!"
The sword bearer nodded and comforted him, "Don't be afraid."
The Sword Bearer said, expressionlessly walking towards Blue Eyes who was resting against the tree trunk.
Blue Eyes wiped the blood from his mouth. He could neither run nor fight, so he looked the swordsman up and down with disdain, sneered, and said loudly: "You are a great swordsman, and now you are so mean?
When you sealed me, you said something high-sounding and said that I would come back to find you on the day the seal was broken. If you mend your ways, I would not pursue the matter. If you refuse to repent, I will kill you here.
The seal is only broken today, and it has not been lifted yet, but you can't wait to send someone as bait to provoke me, so that I can attack him, and then you can appear here with a legitimate reason and kill me?"
The smile on his face suddenly became full of malice and ridicule: "Who did you learn such despicable tricks from? Could it be a demon? In fact, he is indeed the best among them. I admit he is inferior to him.
You have already met him? Why don't you do it? Are you reluctant to do it? If so, why don't you just convert to him with me? He will be very happy if he knows! Hahaha!"
The swordsman was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was talking about for a moment, but he felt that if he continued to talk nonsense like this, there would be some strange hidden danger, so he took two steps at a time and was about to take action.
The young man next to him suddenly realized that the monster Blue Eyes was talking about was Li Baili, and he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you rotten mouth! You are the monster, you are despicable!
Is it your turn to sow discord here?"
The Sword Bearer glanced at him, surprised at his excitement.
His voice stopped abruptly, as if he suddenly realized that it was not him who should speak at this time, or as if he suddenly realized that this was not what he should say.
He fell silent, and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that what the blind man said was true? Is it true that the Sword Holder and the late emperor were entangled in the previous life?
Blue Eyes was also a little surprised at the current situation. He looked at the two people, gloating a little, clapping his hands and laughing: "Great! He has begun to win people's hearts now? The destruction of the human race is just around the corner! I'm already looking forward to it! Great!"
The swordsman didn't want to hear him laugh, so he walked forward and pierced his scapula with his sword. He let out a cry and watched his wound bleed.
The Sword Bearer drew out his sword, took out a bottle of medicine, pulled out the cork, and poured the contents of the bottle onto Blue Eyes' wound. There was a water-like liquid in the bottle that smelled subtly sweet and fishy.
Blue Eyes didn't react in the first second, but started screaming in the second, scratching his wound frantically with his fingers, rolling on the ground, his expression distorted and painful, tears streaming down his face, sweating profusely, unable to control himself, banging his head against the tree trunk, wishing he could commit suicide.
Maybe he now feels that even death is better than being in this pain, but in his current state, he doesn't have the strength to commit suicide even if he wants to.
The sword-bearer took the bottle back, stood beside Blue Eyes with the sword in hand, and looked at Blue Eyes who was rolling back and forth on the ground. His eyes were calm, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a gentle and somewhat interested smile on his face.
The young man was listening to the screams and looking at the smiles. He shivered secretly and felt a little cold. He couldn't help but pull at his clothes and wrap himself up. He thought: Maybe the sea water is too cold, so I just realized it now.
The swordsman stabbed Blue Eyes into the ground with his sword. Blue Eyes continued to waile, but his body was nailed to the spot and could only tremble there. Every scale showed signs of falling off.
The Sword Bearer asked him, "How many seals like yours are there?"
Blue Eyes laughed wildly, "Too many to count!"
