Skull Kingdom
Qi Yuan wanted to send Gu Lin out, but before Gu Lin could react, the scene in front of him changed and he fell into the water.
Gu Lin: "Brother Yuan... Gurgle Gurgle..."
Gu Lin just gurgled twice and spit out two bubbles before he was pulled out of the water.
The one who lifted him out of the water was the boss in the double hat, and then Song Ran also came out of the water, followed by the black-robed skeleton.
Gu Lin wiped the water off his face with his little hands: "Brother Mao Mao."
Then he lowered his head to look in the water again, and scratched the surface with his little hands: "Where is my brother Yuan?"
Double hat boss: ""
The double-hatted boss held Gu Lin in one hand, his eyes fell on the black-robed skeleton, and he raised his eyebrows.
"It's back to normal," Song Ran said as he looked at his hand. Seeing the black-robed skeleton, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh wow."
The black-robed skeleton stared blankly at his own reflection in the water. He slowly raised his hand and touched his face.
Its face is no longer a skeleton, but a normal human face with wrinkles and slightly cold skin, but the flesh and blood under the skin is so vivid and real.
The black-robed skeleton looked to be in his fifties. He looked at his slightly aged hands and seemed to find it hard to believe that he had actually turned back into a normal human being with flesh and blood.
He remembered that the reason he was here was because he was pulled down by the double-hatted boss.
He suddenly looked up at the Double Hat Boss, who had turned back into a human being, which meant that the Double Hat Boss's speculation was very likely true.
The double-hatted boss said, "Let's talk about it after we get ashore."
The few of them were now in the sea, no longer in the Black Swamp.
The black-robed skeleton looked up at the sky and was stunned for a moment.
It is night now. There is a solitary moon in the sky, the moonlight is cold and clear, and it is half hidden behind the clouds.
The sky over Skull Island is always dark, like an upside-down abyss, and you can't see the sun, moon, or stars at all.
This is not Skull Island.
The black-robed skeleton hadn't seen the moon for a long time and couldn't take his eyes off it for a moment.
The man in the double-layer hat carried Gu Lin ashore, put him on the beach, and sat down beside him.
Song Ran also went ashore and saw the black-robed skeleton still standing stupidly in the water, staring at the moon in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, Su Qiao and others also surfaced.
Several people noticed the changes in Skeleton Lady at first glance.
When she was originally a skeleton, the Skeleton Girl was already very beautiful. After being filled with flesh and blood and turning into a normal human, she became even more beautiful and dazzling.
The Skeleton Lady looks young, about twenty years old, with pretty features and a pair of sparkling peach eyes.
The Skeleton Lady raised her slender white fingers and looked at them over and over again in the moonlight, her expression somewhat blank and dazed.
The few of them soon saw the black-robed skeleton transformed back into a normal human.
They've all changed back.
So, if you jump off the whirlpool, you can get out of the Black Swamp, leave Skull Island, and the curse will be lifted.
Su Qiao saw Gu Lin, who had turned back into a little dumpling, sitting on the beach, and walked towards the beach: "Dumpling!"
Gu Lin waved her hand: "Sister!"
After turning back into a human cub, Gu Lin held the bottle of milk in his arms and started drinking it again.
Gu Lin sat between the double-hatted boss and Song Ran. He drank milk and chattered to the two about his entry into the dark space.
Gu Lin narrated in a baby voice: "Zizi met a new friend, he is a little star, his name is Brother Yuan."
At this time, Su Qiao came closer and just heard Gu Lin's last words. He smiled and said, "Who is Brother Yuan?"
There should be no children younger than Tuanzi in the game. No, there are not even children.
The black-robed skeleton said that it was because their God of Creation had no concept of children, and it was very likely that the main god of the game had no concept of children.
Gu Lin's face was serious, and his tone was full of inexplicable boasting: "It's Brother Yuan. Brother Yuan is younger than Zaizai. He is Zaizai's Brother Yuan. He said he wants to come and play with Zaizai again."
Three people: "..."
Gu Lin seemed very happy, his little face was full of excitement, and he kept showing off his brother A Yuan to the others: "Zi Zi is no longer the youngest, he is also the older brother, because Zi Zi has a brother A Yuan!"
After hearing this, the three of them fell silent.
Jumping into the whirlpool took only a moment, no more than a minute. They did not see the dark space that Gu Lin mentioned, nor did they see any younger brother A Yuan who was younger than Gu Lin.
But they knew that since Gu Lin said so, it must be true.
In horror games, ghosts are rampant. Maybe that little brother A Yuan is a water ghost or something. When he saw Gu Lin, who was of the same age, he pulled the kid into his independent space.
Fortunately, the other party sent Gu Lin back safely, so he probably had no ill intentions.
After everyone got ashore, the atmosphere became a little stagnant for a moment.
The black-robed skeleton suffered the greatest impact. It has always been extremely devout in its belief in the Skeleton King, but the current situation has proved that what the double-hatted boss said might be true.
The Skeleton King they have always believed in may really be just a joke.
At this moment, a group of people in military uniforms rushed out from the dark jungle not far away, holding rifles in their hands, pointing the muzzles at the crowd, and surrounded them.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then raised their hands tactfully.
Gu Lin looked at the others. He still had some milk in his hand. He followed the others and raised one of his short hands to his head, while holding the milk with the other hand, unwilling to let go.
Finally, a young man in his twenties came out of the crowd. He had a colonel badge on his uniform and looked at everyone with a fake smile: "Welcome to the Skull Kingdom, my friends from Skull Island. I am Colonel Xiao from the Skull Kingdom."
Everyone: “…”
Skull Kingdom
This is the Skeleton Kingdom
That Skull Island is...!
Colonel Xiao glanced at the crowd, and when he saw the short little ball sandwiched among the crowd, his expression paused and he looked surprised.
He looked Gu Lin up and down, not quite understanding: "Why is there such a small baby here?"
After hearing what Colonel Xiao said, everyone looked at Gu Lin and immediately realized that there were no children here either.
Colonel Xiao looked at Gu Lin for a while, and Gu Lin blinked his big eyes and looked at him fearlessly without delay, without delaying his drinking of milk.
Colonel Xiao laughed: "This year's offerings seem to be a bit of a surprise."
His smile faded, he looked away, and made a gesture of invitation to everyone: "We have been waiting for a long time, and the Skeleton King is waiting to summon you."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, but no one moved.
Song Ran said: "The Skeleton King really has a Skeleton King"
Colonel Xiao laughed and said, "Of course, don't you also offer sacrifices to the Skeleton King every year?"
As he said this, he chuckled, "It's really silly and a little cute."
Everyone: “…”
So, they have been waiting here for a long time because Skull Island holds sacrifices every year, and they know that sacrifices will come out of the Black Swamp at this time.
Everyone looked at the guns that were pointed at them. The soldiers had numb faces and did not even blink. They looked at them as if they were looking at objects.
No, it should be a living sacrifice.
The black-robed skeleton looked at one of the soldiers with wide eyes: "Louis, you are Louis"
Upon hearing this, the others looked over and looked at the soldier that the black-robed skeleton was pointing at.
The soldier looked to be in his thirties, and he also pointed his gun at them. When he heard the words of the black-robed skeleton, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not move his gun away.
But his reaction showed that his name was indeed Louis.
Colonel Xiao looked at the black-robed skeleton with great interest, then at the soldier named Louis, and ruthlessly revealed the truth: "Yes, Louis is one of the members of the skeleton squad sent by your Skull Island."
"To be honest, we were also quite surprised. They are just a bunch of nutrients, but they actually want to lift the curse."
As soon as the word "nutrient" came out, the air was silent for a moment.
Nutrients. Skeletons are just a group of nutrients that provide nourishment to the entire Skeleton Kingdom.
Skull Island is not the Skeleton Kingdom, but a cursed land that continuously provides nutrients to the Skeleton Kingdom.
The black-robed skeleton was shocked: "No, it's impossible, he is Louis. We sent out the skeleton team five hundred years ago, but he looks no more than thirty years old."
"Impossible, how can it be impossible?" Colonel Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "He is indeed a frog in a well trapped on Skull Island."
Black Robe Skeleton: "..."
Colonel Xiao smiled and said, "This is the Skeleton Kingdom. The Skeleton King is over ten thousand years old, and the average life expectancy of humans has reached 1,500 years. Louis is only over five hundred years old this year."
"We in the Skull Kingdom are able to increase our lifespans, and thanks to your contributions, we are able to achieve immortality."
As Colonel Xiao spoke, he threw his head back and laughed so hard that his entire shoulders were shaking, as if he was mercilessly mocking the skeletons' stupidity.
The black-robed skeleton's face was gloomy, and he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.
What the double hat guy said is correct.
They prayed to God to protect them, but it was God who harmed them.
*
Everyone was taken to a luxurious palace.
The ground was flat and smooth. Gu Lin didn't let anyone carry him anymore. Instead, he rode his little scooter, paddling along with his little feet.
Gu Lin was showing off brother A Yuan to 9527 in his mind: [Zi Zi was calling 9527, but 9527 ignored him. Then Zi Zi met brother A Yuan. 】
9527: [Little anchor, I was blocked and didn’t hear you calling me at all. Is there anyone younger than this little anchor, A Yuan?】
Gu Lin said: [Well, brother Yuan is smaller than Zaizai, he is just that tiny. 】
9527: [……]
Gu Lin has no friends in real life, but after entering the horror game, he made a lot of friends. However, they are all much older than him, and he has no friends of the same age.
Now I finally have a good friend of the same age, and I cherish this friend very much.
I just don’t know when my brother Yuan will come to play with him.
After entering the palace, only Colonel Xiao led everyone in, and the other soldiers stopped outside the palace.
Colonel Xiao walked in front of the crowd with his back straight. He looked back at the delicate little ball from time to time and couldn't help saying: "We don't have any children in the Skeleton Kingdom yet. Maybe the Skeleton King will keep this little baby. As for the others..."
He snorted and chuckled twice, and stopped talking.
Others: “…”
Damn, NPCs are really double-standard.
Their lives are lives too.
After many twists and turns, the group, led by Colonel Xiao, passed through layers of traps and finally arrived at a secret room.
When the secret room was opened, everyone was stunned when they saw the scene before them.
Behind the secret room is the endless black swamp and the winding rose coastline, with butterflies dancing above the black swamp.
An old man with a pale and wrinkled face, dressed elegantly, with a stiff smile that revealed a hint of weirdness, was looking at everyone with a smile.
This is... Skeleton King
To be honest, it looks scarier than a skeleton.
