"Mr. Longhu?" I asked, but seeing his elusive look, I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

If I could still bear it a little when I first saw the ghost on the Sea Monster, when I saw this guy with his back to me, I felt terrible fear and terror from the bottom of my heart. This fear was like a force pulling downwards, it gripped me, cold, chilling, suppressing, and numb, and I felt that it came from some intention, not from something in my own body.

If we use an appropriate expression, it would be a hundred spiders scratching your heart.

He slowly turned around, his face had no other facial features except a grinning mouth. His voice was also ethereal and unpredictable, and he said, "I'll give you a choice. Those who respect my name and obey me will live even though they die. Sacrifice your soul to me and you will have eternal life. If you go against me, you will not live even though you are alive. You will be devoured by the bones and your heart, and you will be doomed forever. You will not be able to enter the gates of heaven or the gates of earth. From now on, you will be outside the Three Realms and separated from the Five Elements. You cannot survive without the Tao. Consider it."

"Why do these words sound like those of some evil cult? Oh, no, not like, but exactly. Under your influence, Terry Buck fell from a respectable nobleman into a notorious pirate leader. It was all instigated by you. So you are the leader of that cult and the manipulator behind the scenes, right? It seems that all the guesses of Yunwen and I were correct." I said.

"Obey me, or go against me? Choose your choice." The other party said again.

"If I have to answer, I choose not to obey, because I don't believe in eternal life. It is enough for me to live a good life now," I said.

The other person's face, which had no other facial features, trembled for a moment, but the mouth was slightly tilted, as if in a mockery, and then it disappeared like smoke, and I also felt that the entire dream world was shaking, and then shattered, and I heard a sound coming from far away, it was the shouting of three girls, whoosh, I woke up from the dream, only to see the three of them shaking my arms hard.

I thought the shaking in the dream was caused by them shaking me, but now I realize that it was not only human-induced shaking, but the whole house was shaking, and the entire floor was vibrating madly, so violently that I even had difficulty sitting up. The scary thing is that the wood used to build the house of this inn is very old. It is good enough to serve as a shelter from wind and rain, but its sturdiness is completely worrying.

Bang, bang, bang…

The three of us fell from the building one after another, unable to hold on to the ground, and everything around us was shaking violently, collapsing, breaking, and being destroyed step by step. The bonfire was extinguished by countless wooden boards and other objects that fell from the upper floors, and we were immediately plunged into a dim environment.

The scared girls screamed!

"Everyone, come with me quickly, otherwise we will be crushed in these collapsed buildings. There are no search and rescue teams or search and rescue dogs outside. If you are crushed, you will die. Hurry!" I shouted.

However, when I finally stood up, Yunwen grabbed my hand. At the same time, Bailu and Yingchun had already run towards the backyard, but they obviously had a longer distance to run and the probability of being hit was higher.

"Why aren't you listening?" I asked.

As I was asking, I suddenly heard Sanfu's neighing and being hit by falling objects. Yunwen let me go and said hurriedly, "Go out first, to the backyard, and we'll talk outside."

But I had already heard a loud shaking sound coming from the beam, and I was afraid that a larger falling object was brewing. Judging from the sound, it was probably a beam. If that thing fell from above and hit someone, it would be a serious matter. In addition, if it was broken, there would be a lot of chain reactions, and if it kept falling down, even if I survived, I would be buried alive!

At this moment, something hit my head. I touched it and it was the dagger. I immediately thought of a solution. I chased after it, listening to the sounds of the beams and reins moving in two directions. The creaking sound of the beams became louder and louder. I was afraid it couldn't hold on for too long, estimated it would be only five or six seconds, so I made a note of it.

While running towards Yunwen, he drew out the dagger in his hand and saw that it was almost done, and silently said: "Five, four, three..."

Sanfu can definitely break the rope by himself now, but he doesn't know it. He is used to being obedient and doesn't have the brains to think that he can't break free when he is tied up. It is a kind of thinking inertia, so it is unlikely that he can break free by himself. If he can't break free, Yunwen will have to help him, but if she helps him, the beam may hit them both.

So I had no choice but to take a risk and take a gamble. I had already heard the friction between the horse rope and the beam, so the direction was clear. The friction sound came from the knot of the rope rubbing up and down on the beam, so I could determine the position of the knot. As long as I broke the knot, I could release the horse and get out of trouble.

Predict the magnitude and frequency of the activity and have a pretty clear idea of ​​it.

Two, one!

You only have one chance.

I threw the dagger out suddenly and grabbed Yunwen's hand to prevent her from getting close. Then, with a thud, the dagger stabbed into the beam. At the same time, I heard the tearing sound of the rope fibers being cut. The horse broke free and I pulled Yunwen back, but the time was still a little too late. Although the horse ran out, Yunwen was too close. Before I pulled her back, the beam had fallen and hit her head with a bang. So when she returned to my arms, there was a bloody hole on her head and she fell into my arms and fainted.

Sanfu loyally guarded his master. He walked towards this side and half-knelt down. I helped Yunwen onto the horse and quickly sat on it. Sanfu ran forward in the dilapidated house. He used his dragon horns to knock away countless obstacles, and dodged countless falling objects with his rapid leaping momentum. There was a faint glow of fire, and it could be seen that the road to the backyard was blocked. If we rushed there, we might die there.

So no matter why Yunwen asked me to hide in the backyard, I couldn't do it now. In order to survive, I rode Sanfu and took Yunwen all the way to the main door. Just as we rushed out of the door, the whole house behind us collapsed. The wooden house of the post station where we depended for survival was reduced to a pile of rubble and ruins in an instant.

I ran out of the courtyard and was about to take a rest, but I found that the moonlight was blocked and it was so dark outside. I had seen cloudy nights, but at least there was a layer of light, but this was the first time I had seen such a dark night.

When we got out of the house and came to the center of the courtyard, the horse's pace became much slower. This was a relatively open space and a safe area. The house had almost collapsed and would not have a secondary impact on us. It was a temporary refuge.

I was getting off my horse and helping Yunwen down, intending to check her injuries and treat them briefly, but the light was too dark and the Jinque Sword was still under the collapsed house, so the light was a big problem. I could only feel the wound with my hands, and I could feel the blood gushing from her head. I went to get a stone and chiseled a piece of ice from the canal to relieve her pain first.

The material of the clothes was too hard to be torn off for the time being, so he could only wipe the bloodstains next to her and dared not touch the wound. At this time, Sanfu applied another patch on Yunwen. It had the effect of Longpo Lin on it, and the wound was mostly healed after one lick. However, the shock in her brain might be fatal, so she had to find Bailu to save her.

The external injuries were slightly healed, so I picked Yunwen up. Maer was worried that Yunwen was injured, so he followed me all the way. I was about to go to the backyard to look for Bailu and the others, when I suddenly found a black shadow on the ground that seemed to be moving. But there was no moonlight, so where did the black shadow come from? In addition, the earthquake seemed to have started again. This island didn't seem to have frequent earthquakes all the time, otherwise why would this post station exist for hundreds of years? Until tonight, it was destroyed overnight.

"Running to the backyard? No moonlight? What the hell... Could it be that the source of the earthquake is not plate movement, but some other reason?" I said and looked up.

When I saw this, my head started buzzing and I was stunned!

It turned out that there was moonlight, it was just blocked. The earthquake was not caused by plate movement, but something moving. As for why Yunwen asked me to run in the backyard, I think I understand it now.

Damn, there’s a huge monster as big as a hill sitting outside the gate. Running to the front yard is basically seeking death!
