Imperial Hunters

In the next few days, by relying on her unique physique and the miraculous medicine from the surrounding camp, his condition and spirit gradually improved.

In addition to the seaweed that Mayer's grandson brought for him every day, he also caught a large octopus or two from the lagoon, with local spices and coconut coconut milk.

On the other hand, Wei Wuji held onto Chen Xiaohua and disappeared for a period of time every day. They were companions who went to the Heavenly Tomb Stage to find that Garuda Bird.

He found that it was a mother bird and connected it to the way it chased away the sea crow near the Heavenly Tomb Terrace. He suspected that its nest was somewhere over there, perhaps it had driven away the sea crow to protect its own eggs or the safety of its young.

Although it was not clear why the Garuda bird had been found outside Naga Island, if other adults were to be found alive now, they might be able to rely on the same huge bird to search for Ringa as the one that had been found in Riyadh.

It was a pity that after searching the surroundings of the divine mountain, they found nothing. It seemed that their only hope now was to rely on that cunning Maya, hoping that he would be able to persuade the old Magus to guide them.

Every morning Ashley would help Yao out, and by noon Mae's grandson would bring them the seaweed and octopus he'd collected and caught early in the morning. Although she could not speak a single word, she still asked him to eat with her for a while and gave him the name of "Great Sage" in Chinese. Because Wei Wuji had always felt that this child looked like a monkey.

The Great Sage was a very outgoing child. Sometimes, in order to show off or feel happy, he would dance for himself, as if he was showing off the natives of the island to fish. At the climax of the dance, the Great Sage would shout Laska, Laska!

Yao Ling curiously asked Chen Changsheng what he meant by 'Laska' in the local language. Chen Sanxian told him that Laska was a sea monster from the local legends, Zhang Sha's meaning. Its upper body was that of a shark, while its lower body was that of an octopus, which moved extremely fast. It was said that it could fly out of the water to attack the fishermen on the fishing boats, and most of the legends about this kind of shark were spread on the nearby islands. Some people said that this was an ancient sea monster, while others said that it was an artificial monster cultivated in American laboratories.

That morning, Ashley had just helped Yao Ling out of the room when he saw Mae and Chen Sha and the others rushing over.

Chen Changsheng asked if they had seen the Great Sage. Ashley shook his head and said that he had not. Furthermore, the Great Sage would only come to deliver food to Yao Lin every day at around noon.

Chen Chou Sheng frowned as he chatted with Mae. From the looks of it, Mae might have felt that her grandson had been hidden by Chen Chou Sheng and the others. At times, he would threaten or plead bitterly, while at times, he would helplessly explain over and over again that he did not, and would not, harm his grandson.

After half a day of searching and inquiring, there were finally a few young children who spoke the truth.

In the morning, they went to the lagoon to play with the Great Sage. When the Great Sage jumped into the lagoon to fish for seaweed, they were also swimming in the water, but the Great Sage suddenly appeared from the water and warned them to hurry up and go ashore.

These children grew up listening to Laska's legend. The fear of these sea monsters was deeply imprinted in their hearts. They didn't bother with the Great Sage as they swam to the lagoon's shore, but they never saw any trace of the Great Sage.

After returning home, these children were afraid that they would be punished by their parents and Elder Mae, so they chose to stay silent. Only when they saw Mae and her family anxiously searching for the Great Sage did they finally speak the truth.

Everyone was shocked and saddened by the news. They didn't expect that this small island would have so many disasters. After experiencing the invasion of the Garuda Bird, there were actually legendary deep-sea monsters living in the lagoon.

Despite the danger and dissuasion, Mae insisted on going into the water to find her grandson. Some of the islanders, who were good and brave, took the harpoon and dived into the lagoon with him, but found nothing.

These days, Ashley, Yao Yin and the others had a very good impression of the Great Sage, especially Yao Yun. She was very grateful to this simple and lively youth for taking care of her and worshipping her.

Chen told everyone that the people here valued the funeral of the deceased very much. They cared very much about the afterlife, and believed that if a person could be buried on the summit of their ancestor's mountain after death, then the soul of the deceased could go to heaven or reincarnate, and if they could not be buried successfully, then the soul of the deceased would have to suffer in hell. Therefore, Mae and her family had to find the corpse of the child.

However, even though the lagoon was not small, he had used so many people to search it every day. Not only were there no remains of the Great Sage, but there was also no sign of the sea monster Laska.

At this moment, everyone naturally wanted to help Yao Ling and Wuji, but the two of them had never heard of this kind of monster called Laska, a half-octopus and a half-shark.

They thought it was impossible for such a strange creature to exist in the world, and they didn't believe in any sort of sea monster produced in American laboratories. It was likely that this was a unique, unknown species of rare fish that the superstitious fishermen had extorted from the sea monster.

However, for these matters, just guessing was not the end of the story. After that, he asked the locals about the situation of the lagoon and made a bold guess: "I asked the local fishermen about the caves that lead to the sea areas outside the island, and there were also many large octopus and sharks in the sea area. I suspect that the so-called Laska must be these aquatic hunters."

Ashley questioned his guess. "No, people here say Laska isn't an octopus or a shark. They're sure Laska is a hybrid of an octopus and a shark. These fishermen have been dealing with the sea for generations, so they can't be wrong, can they?"

If it's a single shark or octopus, of course they won't recognize it wrong, but what if it's an octopus and a shark that appear together? Do you think it's possible that the people who witnessed Laska actually saw the shark and the octopus kill each other? If a big octopus was fighting with a shark, the fishermen who were not very close and could not see well would think that the octopus was a unique creature.

Everyone listened to what he said, but the most important thing right now was whether they could find the Great Sage's corpse, even if it was some broken bones or clothes, so that they could hold a funeral for him. However, even after so many people searched the entire lagoon, they still couldn't find anything. Could it be that Laska had devoured him?

After thinking for a moment, Yao Ling said, "There are no large aquatic animals living in this lagoon. It is very possible that the killer entered the island through the caves that connected the lagoon to the sea area. I think that the possibility of the large shark infiltrating this place is very small, so the culprit should be the octopus." It's a huge octopus big enough to trap the Great Sage and drag him into deep water to drown! "

Wei Wuji also agreed with Yao Ling: "The size of an octopus does not prevent them from passing through very small areas. Furthermore, their strength and hunting skills are both very strong. If they want to drag a child of the Great Sage's age into the water, they don't even need the body of a monster to do it. Furthermore, according to the octopus's habit, the Great Sage was probably dragged back to his lair after he drowned, which was why no one could find any clues about him in the lagoon. "Maybe this octopus took him to some corner of the cave or even out of the island. Now, the most reliable method is this."

"I'll go down and take a look." Yao Ling suddenly interjected from the side.

At the moment, the burden of finding the culprit could only fall on him and Wuji. Even though he was injured, Wuji had a deep-water phobia, and if he were to go down, he would torture himself to insanity before he met Laska.

For now, he could only use some medicine to control his pain and force himself to go into the water to see what was going on before coming back to think things over.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wuji shouted with a flushed face: "I'll go! Third brother, what are you doing in the water? Are you tired of living? Wouldn't I be finished if I were to go! "

Yao Yun still wanted to say something, but Wuji firmly said, "I am also a hunter."

Indeed, he had always treated Wei Wuji as his own brother and had always protected him from taking risks. However, he had forgotten that he was also the direct descendant of the hunters of the besieging camp. Even though she usually protected him for his own good, she had still underestimated Wuji in her heart.

He patted Wuji's shoulder and only warned him to be careful. Then, he gave him the Water Spider that he had been using.

Wei Wuji practiced the martial arts of the Southern Faction in the Siege Camp. Actually, he was much better at swimming than Yao Yun. It was just that he and his family had been greatly frightened when they went to catch the giant water tribe when they were young. He knew Yao Yun was thinking for him everywhere, but as the descendant of the besieging camp, he also had his own pride. Moreover, with Yao Yun's current physical condition, he couldn't risk being sent into the water again.

Wuji accepted the Water Spider and smiled to reassure everyone. Then, he prepared to dive into the lagoon alone to explore the situation. Ashley felt uneasy and wanted to ask some fishermen to accompany him. The reason why Wuji rejected them was not because of pride, but because the secret arts of the besieging camp were not to be easily shown to others. Thus, they had tried their best not to use them in front of outsiders. In the end, he only brought the little girl and Chen Xiaohua with him, telling them to wait by the lagoon's shore for reinforcements.

Yao Ling and Chen Sha were leisurely drinking cold drinks in the room. Ashley was even more worried about Wuji's safety as she looked at the scarred Yao Yun. She really did not want any more danger to come to the two of them.

Chen Sha Sheng consoled her by the side, "Don't worry, Miss. After all, they are the descendants of the Siege Battalion. "You'll find out soon enough. In fact, even the two of them are looking down on themselves. With this old man's experience, these two little brothers will get into big trouble sooner or later."
