wicked immortal

The Twelve Guardians!

Zhao Yuan can now be sure that there is at least one more terrifying existence on top of the Twelve Guardians.

After leaving the giant tower, Zhao Yuan sneaked around the island, trying to find the whereabouts of the Red Heart Tree.

There are at least 11 experts on the same level as Li Hao on this island, Zhao Yuan didn't dare to make a big noise, so he could only search bit by bit.

The island is not as small as Zhao Yuan guessed. In fact, the island is very big. Zhao Yuan walked dozens of miles along the forests by the sea, but he still didn't see any people. Extend life in front.

It's a pity that you can't fly into the sky to observe, otherwise, you can take a bird's-eye view of the island and immediately see the topography of the island at a glance.

Zhao Yuan couldn't think of a better way, so he could only search a little bit, hoping to find clues.

Now, Zhao Yuan is not only looking for the Red Heart Shenmu, but also hopes to find out about the situation on this island.It's a pity that if he hadn't been discovered by those women, he would have been mixed among the slaves now.

However, Zhao Yuan also secretly rejoiced that if it wasn't for being discovered, he might have been sent to the construction site to be enslaved by now,

It is impossible for a slave to have access to core secrets.

It seems that being discovered is a blessing in disguise.

If you mix among the slaves, you will either swallow your anger and be enslaved, or you will fight your way out.No matter which one he chooses, Zhao Yuan will not end well. It is better to slowly search for clues like now.

After traveling for dozens of miles, Zhao Yuan found the smoke from the kitchen.

After seeing the cooking smoke, Zhao Yuan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly walked towards the place where the cooking smoke was.

Judging from the density of the cooking smoke, that place should be a human settlement.

There are people who have rivers and lakes.

There are people who have society.

There are people who have a country.

Someone has intelligence.

There is hope for someone...

Soon, Zhao Yuan arrived at the destination, and after observing the incense for a long time, Zhao Yuan was sure that this was an ancient small fishing village. From the fishing gear in front of the house, he could tell that the people here had been there for a long time. With no contact with the outside world, they still maintain some ancient fishing methods.

There are more than 30 households in the small fishing village. If one household is calculated as three people, that is about a hundred people.

Zhao Yuan decided to take a risk.

Zhao Yuan put the camouflage uniform in the Xumi ring, made a rag towel around his crotch, soiled his body, and then found a remote and dilapidated wooden house. Through the investigation of the "quiet" realm, Zhao Yuan had confirmed that , In this wooden house, there are two elderly people, a woman, and a child about ten years old.

Zhao Yuan did not choose randomly, but deliberately chose.

Families like this are mostly kind-hearted.

"Ah..." The door was opened by a young woman with good features but a bit haggard. Seeing Zhao Yuan who was almost naked, the young woman let out a cry of surprise.

"Help me, save me..." Zhao Yuan protected the door frame, before he could finish his sentence, he passed out.

The next thing is a matter of course.

Zhao Yuan was hurriedly carried to the bed. After drinking a bowl of boiling fish soup, Zhao Yuan "woke up".

"Are you a worker in the cemetery?" An old man with a vicissitudes of life looked at Zhao Yuan vigilantly.

"Yes." Zhao Yuan immediately guessed that the "cemetery" the old man was talking about should be the huge square stone tower.

"How did you get here?" The old man didn't relax his vigilance.

"I was caught on a cargo ship a few days ago. After getting off the ship, I arrived on this small island. There was a group of vicious people who supervised me to work every day. I couldn't bear the torture, so I pretended to be dead. They threw me I got off the cliff, I was lucky, I survived, along the seaside, I found here..."

Zhao Yuan's answer can be described as flawless, he said that he was just arrested, this avoids being exposed by interrogation, and at the same time can conceal his strong body, after all, most of the slaves on this island are skinny and skinny. His strong body was out of place.

"Old man, what should we do?" The white-haired old woman had a look of fear on her face.

"What can we do, don't send him there, otherwise, the people in the cemetery will find out, and our whole family will die without a place to bury him." The old man sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Ah... I beg you, please..." Zhao Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he begged bitterly.

"Young man, it's not that we don't save you. There are only a hundred or so people in our village. If we leave you behind, people will definitely find out. Once the people in the cemetery find out that we have taken in outsiders, our whole family..." There was a trace of unbearable color on his face.

"Old man, what will they do to him if we send him back?" asked the gray-haired old woman.

"..." The old man was silent for a while.

"Old man, keep him!" The old woman gently touched Zhao Yuan's cheek, and there was a hint of doting in her cloudy eyes.

"Hey, look, look, you think of the pillar again..." The old man shook his head.

"He looks so much like the pillar..." The old woman was already in tears, and the young woman behind her was also in tears.

"Let's think about it first." The old man looked at the young woman with tears streaming down his face, and sighed.

The three of them discussed for a while, and finally reached an agreement with Zhao Yuan not to report him, but they had to stay and help their family.

Of course, after everyone made a decision, Zhao Yuan understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that there was a young and strong man in this family, whose nickname was Zhu Zi. The young woman is Zhuzi's wife, and the ten-year-old child is Zhuzi's son.

The meaning of the two old people is that the daughter-in-law is still young and cannot be a widow, so it might not be a good thing to keep Zhao Yuan to marry her.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yuan to get to know the family.

This is a nearly destitute family.

When Zhuzi was still there, the family was able to barely get by, and they were happy. Only after Zhuzi, the pillar, died, the family was on the verge of collapse.

That night, the two old men were chattering endlessly about doing work for their daughter-in-law. In the end, the daughter-in-law gave in and stayed silently with Zhao Yuan.

Looking at the haggard but still charming face under the light, Zhao Yuan secretly sighed.

This is a miserable woman, but in such a short period of time, two old men decided her fate, and she didn't even have the slightest understanding of Zhao Yuan, such a strange man broke into her life straight away .

"Go to sleep." The woman turned off the oil lamp, her face was numb, without the slightest expression.

"Is Zhuzi really dead?" Looking at the undressed woman in the darkness, Zhao Yuan couldn't bear it.

"Dead." The woman's delicate body trembled.

"you sure?"

"...sure." The woman hesitated for a moment.

"Perhaps he is still alive."

"..." The woman was silent for a while.

"Or, let's wait. If he really can't come back, you can live with me." Zhao Yuan sighed.

"You are a good person." The woman said softly suddenly.

"No, I'm not a good person." Zhao Yuan smiled wryly, but he was a famous villain on the list of the Great Qin Empire.

"Go to sleep."

"Go to sleep."

The woman put on her clothes slowly again, and lay down with her clothes on.

"What happened on this island?" Zhao Yuan knew that the woman was not asleep.

"They are demons..."

Amidst the woman's voice of hatred, Zhao Yuan had a preliminary understanding of the island.

About 30 years ago, before the woman was born, a group of cultivators came to the island. At first, the cultivators were friendly and exchanged some things with the local fishermen for seafood and other things. However, within half a year, They showed their hideous faces.

The cultivators began to imprison the fishermen and force them to build a "cemetery". This situation lasted for half a year.

After that, more and more slaves were brought to the island, and then the fishermen on the island were released to go home.

Released home does not mean freed.

When the fishermen go home, they just change to a form of slavery. They must hand in a certain amount of seafood every day. If they fail to do so, they will be punished.

As there are more and more managers on the island, more and more fish are needed, and the fishermen are miserable. They rush around the sea every day, even in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons. slack.

Zhuzi was buried in the belly of a fish because he went fishing in a rainstorm.

In fact, in recent years, more and more fishermen have died in the sea due to bad weather.

"What is the cemetery for? Is it really a cemetery?"
