Dream Guide

Situ's words made Su Huilan wake up from a dream. She always felt that something was interfering with her conscious judgment, like tentacles wandering around in her spiritual world, affecting her decisions.

She believed that her mental power was quite strong and she could even experience auditory hallucinations, so it was not surprising that Alice could see the resurrected Halsey. That was probably just a dream she had after being hypnotized!

It's just that Mrs. Larry seemed very sober at the time. Although her willpower was much stronger than Alice's, she was only an ordinary person, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Aoki thought it was impossible. The Itesans did not have a sacred staff and could not mobilize the spiritual force field on the island. They only relied on the spiritual superposition of the three tribes of savages. How could it be so strong?

"If it's really that strong, those few priests don't have to agree to negotiate at all. They can just form a formation of more than a thousand people and push them over." He said.

Situ said: "It should be that the altar has some kind of channel connecting other spiritual energies, so their spiritual formation cannot leave the altar."

Aoki narrowed his eyes and looked at the three suns in the sky, "Is there a third party force?"

"It's hard to say." Situ also looked up.

Su Huilan also raised her head unconsciously. Whenever she saw three suns in the sky, she felt that the world was particularly unreal.

Dua, who has been silent all the time, said: "It doesn't look like it was fake when the Itsa people negotiated with us. At least there is no element of deception subconsciously."

Situ nodded, "This is also what I am wondering about. It would be ideal if the Itesans could unite. They are more familiar with Ramla than we are. Activating the five altars is not a small project. Without their help, we It’s very difficult to complete. And there are only three tribes here, and aside from the fact that the Tosho tribe, which represents fire, has been solved by Ronald Cohen, we at least have to face the Chayak tribe, which represents ice.”

Aoki said: "Everything is just speculation now. We can't wait here. We have to go ashore to help them."

As he spoke, he took out a wicker stick from the inner pocket of his windbreaker and handed it to Su Huilan along with the soul of wood in his hand. He said, "Hold it for me while I go get the boat." He jumped off the side of the ship and splashed a lot of water.

Before Su Huilan could react, there were two more things in her hand.

The ebony staff is a bit heavy and has a strange feeling when you hold it in your hand, as if it is alive. Fortunately, it is not as hot as the Soul of Fire. It just gives people a sense of ancient oppression, as if they are in a dense primeval forest.

But Su Huilan's attention was entirely focused on the wicker.

When she was on Tubuai Island, she knew that Aoki had this wicker in his backpack. Of course she also knew the significance of broken willow in Chinese culture and guessed the origin of this wicker.

But she didn't expect that after going through so many dangers, losing her bag long ago, and even almost losing her life, Aoki would still put this wicker on his body.

The willow branches are actually still glowing with green, as if they have never left the land and are not drying up at all. A few buds have just emerged from the branches, opening slightly like a baby's mouth, looking for its mother's chest. .

Su Huilan actually felt a touch of warmth from the wicker, just like when she was a child watching the snow melting at the door of her house and welcoming the first ray of spring breeze.

She suddenly thought of home, her father, and everything on earth.

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and fell on the back of her hand, crystal clear, reflecting the sun and the green of the wicker on her hand.

For the first time she felt the power of life.

There are lush woods on the shore of the lake in the distance, but those trees, grass, and flowers have never made Su Huilan feel like this. Those are things from another world, they don't belong to her, and she doesn't belong to this world either.

She suddenly understood why Aoki kept carrying this willow stick. But for some reason, there was a hint of loss rising from the bottom of her heart, leaving her at a loss.

When she came back to her senses, Aoki had already swam far away, and soon disappeared. Only the waves he made after swimming were still flowing towards the Swordfish.

When Aoki appeared in sight again, he was already standing on a raft, wet all over, with his hair sticking to his face, a windbreaker wrapped around his waist, and a long pole in his hand, which reminded Su Huilan of the long journey in Journey to the West. A stone monkey who went to the ocean to become a disciple and seek immortality.

The raft leaned against the side of the destroyer. Aoki used a pole to set up the gangway and waved upward: "Come down!"

Needless to say, Situ and the other three were already walking down the gangway.

Su Huilan stepped onto the raft and returned the wood soul and wicker to Qingmu. Looking at his embarrassed look, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's rare to see you change your appearance."

Aoki and the other three people all boarded the raft, and then they walked to the end of the raft, hit the hull with a pole, and pushed the raft away.

When Su Huilan heard his footsteps, she noticed the pull-ups on his feet and said, "Are your pull-ups glued to the soles of your feet? They won't fall off even when swimming!"

Aoki evaded the important point and said, "It will float even if it falls."

Su Huilan suddenly remembered that this was not the first time that such a miraculous thing had happened. When he passed the backward waterfall from the Sanqi tribe and was washed here by the flood, his pull-up board did not fall off, but he just experienced such a dangerous situation. No one noticed.

She looked at Qingmu, looked at Situ, and then saw Du Wa, whom she had just met, and suddenly felt that there were monsters around her, not a normal person. But then I thought about it, how could this be a normal world? Even she herself may not be a normal person!

She curled her lips, asked no more questions, and looked toward the shore. The most important thing now was to find Mrs. Larry and Alice.

Maybe it was because of the warm sunshine. When she turned around, she saw that Aoki's body was no longer wet and had returned to its original appearance.

Su Huilan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, wondering if this guy had been in the water just now, or maybe it was his own imagination. But in that case, where did the raft they were riding on come from?

At this time, they saw a small boat rowing out from the opposite shore of the lake. And there was a crow in the sky, and the coal boss appeared in sight.

"Quack, quack, they have been kidnapped by savages! Quack, quack, they have been kidnapped!" The crow screamed and landed on Aoki's head.

"Speak slowly and clearly. What did you see?"

"Quack, I saw Mrs. Larry and Alice being tied to two very tall pillars, with firewood piled underneath. The savages wanted to burn them to death! The savages wanted to eat people! They were about to be turned into kebabs and sauced meat. Alright!"

"Where?"

"At the altar!"

"You mean tied to two very tall pillars?"

"Yes."

Of course Aoki knew that savages could eat people. He and Su Huilan had seen with their own eyes that they roasted people on fires and ate them, but why were they tied to high pillars?

"Is it on fire?" he asked.

"I wasn't even a baby when I left, and now I don't know what a baby is!"

"What were the savages doing when you saw them?"

"Reciting sutras! Hmm..." Crow tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Could it be a pre-dinner prayer?"

"Oops!" Situ said, "The Itesans are going to sacrifice them to their gods!"
