From Prisoner to Si Chen

Gilan grabbed the harpoon hanging on the outer wall of the cabin and swiped it gently on the sea surface.

Wow.

He retracted the harpoon and stretched out his fingers to gently touch the red seawater stained on it.

After looking at it for a while, Gilan sniffed again.

‘There’s nothing special about it. It has a unique salty smell just like ordinary sea water…but it’s not blood. It’s just red in color and looks similar. ’

He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

'Legends are just legends after all. How could the sea of ​​blood really be formed by the blood of the evil god...'

Things in the field of occultism are often accompanied by unique magnetic fields, which are like high-risk radiation and pose an extremely fatal threat to ordinary people.

If the blood sea is true as rumored, then the residents of Late Autumn Town would have been killed by such a huge magnetic field.

Gilan stood alone on the deck aisle, looking at the scarlet sea, feeling that the unique scenery in front of him had a different kind of beauty.

After standing for a while, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and returned to the cabin...

Three hours flew by in a blink of an eye.

The two small fishing boats that the group of people were on were slowly approaching an isolated island.

This island is the destination of this mission.

From a distance, Jilan noticed that the island was covered with dense forests, but there were no signs of human habitation. It seemed like a pure natural primitive island.

Deep in the island, there seems to be a towering mountain peak, which is constantly emitting high-temperature white smoke into the sky.

'That's...a volcano? ’

Ji Lan frowned.

He also discovered that there seemed to be a huge number of marine life corpses piled up on the shore.

These corpses ranged in size from small to large, and most of them had begun to decay, attracting a large number of seagulls who gathered and were constantly pecking at these corpses.

There were also dark cloud-like flies and insects, flying around in dense numbers, which made people quite uncomfortable.

The sea breeze carried the stench and blew it into the cabins hundreds of meters away, making the group almost nauseous.

As the two fishing boats docked and anchored, everyone disembarked from the tidal flat and landed on the island.

"It stinks!" Kaya pinched her nose as soon as she got up and looked at the fish carcasses on the shore with disgust. "Why are so many blood sea creatures dead here..."

Everyone turned to look at the shore with shocked expressions on their faces. Such an abnormal scene made them more vigilant.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is a red whale that has just died. It is quite huge, more than twice as big as the fishing boat docked on one side, with a total length of more than 30 meters and a visual weight of nearly 200 tons.

This red whale has a smooth body, including its baleen, and almost its entire back is dark red, with white spots on its sides. The abdomen is light gray with wrinkles and seems to have the function of expansion and contraction.

Gillan also discovered that this red whale was covered with dense parasitic barnacles... However, the shape of these barnacles was completely different from what he remembered.

It is not a round ball like a follicle, but a rectangular shape with sharp edges. It was as if pieces of dark green and gray stone bricks were inlaid on the body of this red whale.

"What a magical ecosystem..."

The dwarf Renault adjusted his thick glasses, sat on the shoulder of his friend Mugur, and couldn't help but sigh.

The sharp-eyed Buweig suddenly discovered an unusual detail. He took two steps forward and reported to Ji Lanhui in a low voice:

"Mr. Gillan, the body of the red whale seems to have been artificially processed..."

"Um?"

"There was a fine incision on the front abdomen of the red whale. Someone must have taken out its heart."

Buweig looked at the huge corpse and said solemnly.

Celine on the side nodded.

The short-haired woman seemed to have some understanding of the structure of the red whale and added:

"The red whale has only one heartbeat per minute. Its heart is quite large compared to humans, with a diameter of nearly 2 meters and a weight of between 450 and 550 pounds."

"The length of that opening is almost the diameter of the heart...Buweger's guess should be correct."

At this time, Renault jumped off Muguer's shoulder, then walked to the group of corpses on the shore, took out his gloves, put them on, and squatted down to check.

"The corpses of these blood sea creatures are also injected with an attractant, which will continuously attract other blood sea creatures to come closer, causing them to be stranded and die."

Renault adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Maiev frowned and said:

"Could it be the federal research force lurking in Late Autumn Town?"

During the voyage, Gillan took out the logbook he obtained from the MacMillan Energy Factory and the contact letters he obtained from the Blood Harbor gang's underground shelter, and transferred the information of "Golden Force No. 7" The matter was informed to everyone.

Therefore, they all know that there is a secret research team that is secretly collecting blood sea creatures and red whale hearts for some kind of research.

Maiev's guess was very reasonable, and everyone couldn't help but nod.

"Proceed with caution."

Ms. Teresa looked at everyone and gave instructions.

"Golden Troop 7 has probably been here before and hasn't even left yet... We lack intelligence on the enemy and remain cautious."

"Yes, Ms. Teresa."

Everyone agreed.

Immediately afterwards, the group of people carefully left the shore and walked into the forest.

According to intelligence, the "Level 2 Nightmare Monument" that was the mission target was located deep inside the island, right on the volcano that Gilan saw.

As the saying goes, Wangshan is like a dead horse. It seemed not far away, but everyone hiked for more than two hours. Near evening, they just arrived at the foot of the volcano.

And here, there is actually a small village that is isolated from the rest of the world!

As soon as the group set foot here, they were blocked by a group of plainly dressed villagers.

These people were male and female, old and young, with fair skin and brown-red hair. Almost all of them had a farm tool or an ax as a weapon. Their expressions were unkind, and the language they spoke was also unfamiliar to everyone.

"Jili gua la! ji li, ji li gua la!"

The leader, a bearded middle-aged man, glared at Ji Lan and others, speaking in an incomprehensible language.

Beside him, there was a girl wearing off-white linen clothes and bare feet. She was wearing braids, holding a plump orange cat in her hand, and was looking at these strange strangers with curiosity.

"Are these people the original inhabitants of the island?"

Maiev looked at the battle and asked curiously.

"What are they talking about?"

"I don't know." Kaya shook her head.

Everyone was surrounded by villagers, but they were not afraid. After all, the other people were just ordinary people, and it was a fool's errand to hurt them.

However, as official members of the empire, Gilan and his party did not think of conflict and rashly harmed this group of island residents.

"Does anyone understand their language?"

Ms. Teresa rubbed her temples with a headache, turned around, and asked everyone.

However, the members of the second group and even the four "Thorns" reservists who came for support remained silent or shook their heads helplessly.

Ms. Teresa couldn't help but sigh.

However, at this time, Jilan took a step forward and said in the same strange and awkward language:

"Chirping, chirping, chirping..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal with a calm tone.

Hearing this, the villagers looked at each other in confusion, but the middle-aged man who led the group looked surprised. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said something, which made the villagers put down their weapons.

"Huh?" Ms. Teresa raised her eyebrows and looked at Gillan in surprise. "Do you understand their language?"

Everyone else present was also very surprised. They didn't expect Mr. Gillan to say what the other party said.

"They are indeed the aboriginal people of this island, and they speak the 'Autumn Language'. This language is a variant of the 'Mediterranean Language', and it also retains the ancient rhymes. Apart from professional linguists, I am afraid that few people have mastered it."

Gilan nodded and explained.

Everyone's expressions were astonished, and their hearts were even more surprised.

Mr. Gillan actually dabbled in such a rare language...

"Thanks to you, Gillan."

Ms. Teresa smiled.

"Then what were they talking about just now, and why are they so hostile to us?"

"This man is the head of the 'Blafell Village', his name is Yernei Siedamba Alecius... He said that they have lived on this 'Island of the Whale God' for generations. The family of gods."

Ji Lan pointed at the middle-aged man and said.

"But recently, strange outsiders have landed on the island. They not only hunt the creatures on the island arbitrarily, but also fish for blood sea creatures and even red whales in the nearby sea. They also capture their tribesmen."

After saying that, Ji Lan thought for a moment and then said:

"They mistakenly thought we were with that group of outsiders, so they were hostile."

"I see……"

Everyone looked stunned.

Kaya frowned, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she said:

"Those so-called outsiders are probably the Federation's No. 7 Golden Troop. They captured these aborigines probably for human experiments!"

"Damn federal bastard!"

Mgul cursed in his childish voice.

"They must pay the price!"

"Calm down, Mgul." Garnold said in a deep voice. "Our mission here is to eradicate the Nightmare Monument. After the mission is over, we can talk about other things."

Maiev shook her head and said:

"Even if we don't go to trouble them, they will never let us remove the monument smoothly."

"Jilan, please briefly explain to them the dangers of the 'Nightmare Monument'... After we finish dealing with the 'Nightmare Monument', we will help them deal with the group of outsiders."

Ms. Teresa said to Gillan.

Gillan nodded.

He spoke a few words to the middle-aged village chief named Yerney in quite pure Autumn language.

Hearing this, the village chief and other villagers looked shocked and doubtful.

"Jiliguala." The village chief of Yernei thought for a while and said to everyone.

"He said yes, but he would send a few people to follow us."

"Okay." Ms. Teresa did not refuse. "We are relatively new to this island, so having the indigenous people as our guides can save us a lot of trouble."

Gilan acted as an interpreter and conveyed her meaning to the village chief of Yernei.

The other person's expression softened and he nodded.

After a while.

Yerney personally led the team, led four young and middle-aged tribesmen holding axes, and the little girl, and followed everyone up the mountain.

"Why is this girl here?"

Maiev glanced at the girl holding the orange cat and couldn't help but look worried.

Jilan said calmly:

"She is the village chief's daughter, her name is Sangasulun Siedamba Alecius. She has had a keen awareness of this land since she was a child. It was the village chief of Yernei who took the initiative to call her."

Everyone looked at each other and had no objections.

The names of these aboriginal people are quite troublesome because they are too difficult to remember.

The vegetation on the mountain is very lush, and it can be recognized at a glance that this land has a long history.

And because it is located in a volcano, it has been nourished by volcanic ash in the past years, so the growth of plants is amazing.

It was getting dark, and no one took out their lighting tools.

One is because they are all mystics, with extraordinary eyesight and perception, and can see the environment clearly without lighting. The second is that they don't want to attract unnecessary attention. After all, the enemy doesn't know where to hide.

Fortunately, the night vision abilities of the accompanying aboriginals were pretty good, so everyone simply walked forward in the dark.

When traveling to the mountainside, Jilan suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Stop! Something's wrong!"

He also said it again in Qiuyu.

Everyone was startled and stopped quickly, alert to their surroundings.

Wow——

Not far ahead, there was a sudden movement in a bush.

Before anyone could come forward to check, they heard a subtle sound breaking through the air.

call out! !

Kaya, who was walking in front, narrowed her eyes, took out the dagger from her waist, and swung forward suddenly.

when! !

Sparks shot out in the darkness, and a 9mm round-head bullet was immediately cut in half by a dagger and sank into the soil behind him.

"There are enemies! Silenced firearms!"

Kaya just finished speaking.

Toot toot…

Whoosh! !

The bullets whizzed towards Ji Lan and the others.

The faces of the group darkened, but they all reacted in time. They deliberately stood in front of several aborigines, blocking with daggers or their own weapons.

There was no mysterious person present who was lower than level 3. Facing silenced firearms, there was no pressure.

Ms. Teresa snapped her fingers.

Snapped!

A dazzling golden light flashed, directly deflecting all the seven or eight incoming bullets.

Immediately, she shouted coldly:

"Gilan, Kaya, Maiev."

The three people named didn't say much and rushed out in perfect agreement.

Guillen was the fastest.

His figure looked like a ghost, passing through two afterimages, and arrived behind the bushes.

A man wearing a white hazmat suit and anti-miasma mask was there, holding a silenced pistol.

Seeing Jilan's appearance, he couldn't help but be startled.

Bang! !

With no expression on his face, Gillan hit the opponent with a knee, hitting him in the face.

Amidst the loud noise, the attacker's head shattered on the spot, and his whole body flew backwards, rolling to the ground without moving.

Rustling——

Not far away, a few more black shadows moved around, turned around and ran away.

Jilan's hearing was amazing, and he captured the subtle sounds of those people communicating through the headsets:

"Retreat, return to the team."

"Report to Major General Claudemire for the next round of interceptions."

"yes."

Ji Lan narrowed his eyes and immediately ran after him.

This group of federal secret research troops obviously did not intend to let them dig the grave smoothly.

Gillan is prepared to clear up this unstable factor in advance.

"Ms. Teresa, I'm chasing northeast, notify Maiev and Kaya to follow."

He touched the headset and said calmly.

Without stopping, the figure quickly disappeared into the forest.
