Chapter 15 Gravel Island (3)

Zhu Zhu saw tens of thousands of demon fishes through the ice surface. They used their huge mouths to rush the ice layer again and again, trying to rush out, which was even more terrifying. Duan Yuhuang had already taken Duan Shan and Zhu Zhu toward the second wooden board. At this time, the frozen water surface shattered like a glass, causing the frozen power of the water surface to completely disappear, and the water surface returned to its wavy state. At this time, the second wooden board just fell, and Duan Yuhuang flew up again with some force. The demon fish that broke through the ice surface seemed to be trapped beasts that escaped the cage and shot over. They were still greeted by the extremely sharp sword light. The sword light was obviously much slower, and several demon fish broke through the sword shadow and bit Duan Yuhuang. The pain and numbness spread throughout his body. Duan Yuhuang suddenly found that the third wooden board became extremely far away.

At this moment, a wooden board flew from nowhere and landed properly at Duan Yuhuang's feet. The old man tried his best to fly out on the wooden board. He had no choice but to approach the water shore and find a way to throw the two children ashore. But once again, another wooden board flew over, almost at his pace. But before he could step on the wooden board, another wooden board flew over, with a very fast speed, and it actually landed on the water surface earlier than the wooden board. But the wooden board fell to the position before he landed, which made him unable to step on.

At this time, the water surface exploded, and countless demon fish jumped out, which made Duan Yuhuang face the danger of biting the fish when he stepped on the wooden board under his feet. However, there was no way out. If he didn't step on the wooden board, he would fall into the water because he had nowhere to take advantage of the force. At the moment he stepped on the wooden board, there were more than a dozen demon fish on Duan Yuhuang's legs, but he still flew out with his heavy body.

It was two or three feet away from the water bank, but in Duan Yuhuang's eyes it was as hard as a natural barrier. His whole body was already numb and stiff, as if a heavy bull had fallen into the river and began to sink. His consciousness began to blur because of the toxins of the demon fish, and only a blue sea water was left in his eyes.

With a "bang", a huge white figure fell into the sea, splashing huge waves of water. "Xiaobai" suddenly appeared, and with a slap of the huge tail wing, Duan Yuhuang and the other two flew out again and landed heavily on the shore. The water began to stir up huge splashes, as if the undercurrent of the ocean was surging. Sometimes, a baby-like sound came, and then a large number of demon fish flew over the shore. When everyone felt a violent and severe pain in their minds, the surging sea water suddenly calmed down. "Xiaobai" revealed a huge figure again, watching Duan Yuhuang scream like a baby, and it seemed very impatient. Its body was already covered with scars, and there were demon fish hanging in many places, like blood-sucking insects. From the distance, there were waves surging from the windlessness, and countless demon fish stood at the tide, rolling up layer by layer, rushing over again.

Youhua led You Ruomeng over, and sighed at the bloody figure of "Xiaobai" and the sea tide of the demon fish surging. She reached out and took out a green amber pendant from Duan Yuhuang's waist. The light flashed in her hand. A mist rose up around "Xiaobai" and then the huge figure disappeared. Youhua cleared the demon fish on Duan Yuhuang's body, then took the white jade bottle from Youruomeng, poured out two Tianlu pills and fed them into Duan Yuhuang's mouth.

Duan Shan and Zhu Zhu were both shocked, and then asked in a crying voice: "Is my grandfather dead?" "How is my master?" Youhua said quietly: "He was just injured, and it will be fine after a while." The little girl stopped her tears and raised Duan Yuhuang's head in her arms. Zhu Zhu followed Old Man Zhu to hunt but knew some tricks of life and death. He reached out and touched Duan Yuhuang's neck for a while, and said with relief: "Master should not die! Oh! No, it's okay." Duan Shan still had tears on the corner of her eyes. He heard Zhu Zhu say this and giggled, "You are so stupid!"

At this time, the middle-aged man walked over with Niu Ben as if nothing had happened, looked at Duan Yuhuang coldly and left. "I think you should be careful in the future. You know the reputation of Bichan Palace." Youhua seemed to say to Dahai, with a strange look in his eyes. The middle-aged man paused for a moment, and said, "Since you have already made grudges, what's the harm in getting deeper?" Then he left slowly.

This is the only building on the gravel island except the star pattern array. Although it is simple, it can at least shelter from wind and rain. It was left by the powerful man who built the star pattern array, which allows people who come to the gravel island to rest for a while. However, few people live here because there are very few people coming to the gravel island. People who come to the gravel island will go to the Qixing Island as soon as possible through the star pattern array. It is hard to say whether Duan Yuhuang and others will be the first batch of residents here since the completion of the star pattern array. However, from the thick dust deposited in the room, it can be concluded that no one has lived here for a long time, or no one has ever come in. This is an island with a humid climate and the dust will be adhered to and sink by thick water vapor before it has even flew up. There is only one reason for the accumulation of such heavy dust, that is, it has been a long time.

The cottage is very simple, with stone tables, stone benches and stone beds. Each one is carved from a whole piece of rock. From the tabletop like an artwork, you can imagine that the craftsman must have put a lot of thought on it at that time, because there was a pattern carved on the smooth tabletop. Zhu Zhu faintly felt that this pattern looked like a star map, and then it was confirmed from Youhua's mouth. The star map looked very simple, just like the original ancient text. The star domain could not be seen, the pattern could not be seen, and there was no difference between it and the child's graffiti. However, Zhu Zhu felt a vast and ancient atmosphere, thick and solemn, giving people a sense of oppression.

Duan Shan immediately became interested when she saw the star map on the desktop and smiled: "I want to carve it too." However, she was dedicated to carving for an hour without leaving any marks on the excessively hard table. She suddenly saw the long sword standing beside the stone bed, and became interested again. However, the long sword was too heavy, and it was already a bit difficult to hold it in her hand, let alone use it to carve the stars on it. Youhua smiled and said, "There should be a powerful seal on it, it is difficult to destroy them." The little girl blushed and argued, "I am not destroying it, but I just want to carve the same star on it." Youhua suddenly condensed her expression and said, "Even Is it difficult for me to leave a mark on it."

The little girl knew very well how powerful the charming and beautiful woman in front of her was. Even her grandfather had to give her three points. Compared to her, she was completely different from her, but she still turned her head and asked: "Are you saying I can't carve stars on it?" She had to admit defeat, but she still confused the meaning of "can't". You Ruomeng was much quieter than Duan Shanlai. She looked at the star map on the table and then looked away. In fact, the stone benches in the hut and the walls that had been peeled off from time were engraved with different star maps. However, the simple walls were obviously not as strong as the stone tables and stone benches. Many of them had been damaged, leaving only broken marks. In addition, there was nothing in the hut that could arouse the interest of several people.

Youhua waited until Duan Yuhuang woke up and left with You Ruomeng. She did not mention her previous affairs with the middle-aged man because it was just her personal matter and she did not want to have any relationship with Duan Yuhuang anymore. Youruomeng still wanted to stay and play for a while, but after Youhua said a few words in her ear, she followed her obediently.

After Youhua left, Zhu Zhu thoroughly cleaned the cottage two hours later. His handsome face began to flush, and he was already a little tired. Looking at the clean and tidy cottage, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. Although it was worse than the house his grandfather, Old Man Zhu cleaned it up, it was quite good. After all, this was the first time he had done something well in full. Duan Shan was also interested in participating in it. With her spirit of making jokes, Zhu Zhu could only follow her and clean it for the second time.

The gravel island was almost a deserted island. Zhu Zhu took a lot of effort to catch a pheasant and a hare from the woods. He learned from his grandfather, Old Man Zhu, and handled two wild game with great difficulty, just because Duan Yuhuang's long sword was indeed a bit inappropriate. However, Zhu Zhu only found a wild peppercorn and a clove from the woods. Although the seasoning was a bit incomplete, he had to use it and cut it into pieces and put it in the belly of the pheasant and hare. He picked up some dry firewood from the woods and lighted a bonfire outside the hut, which made the surroundings bright.

Zhu Zhu built the grill and started grilling. Soon, the pheasants and hares on the grill began to flow oil on the slightly yellowed skin, and the aroma slowly spread out. Although it was not as good as Old Man Zhu's skills, it smelled like mouth-watering on this deserted island.

Duan Yuhuang did not eat these, but asked Zhu Zhu to return to the shore and picked up a few pieces of demon fish's corpses. This time he did not eat raw, but asked Zhu Zhu to clean it and then cook it by barbecue, which was still full of relish. The most satisfying thing may be Duan Shan, who almost never stopped her mouth, and she also said the first half of the sentence and then continued to say it, which made Zhu Zhu laugh.
