Chapter 6 Section 4

  "What's next?" Fang Yuan still had something on her mind.

  "What happened later? Later, my grandfather returned to the fishing village with great difficulty. He never went to the Sea God Island again. Moreover, he left us a terrifying nursery rhyme."

  "Ballad?"

  "Yes, the ballad." Quan Shu's voice turned exceptionally gloomy. "The fragrance of blood / Awakens the dormant evil spirit / Transcending the shackles of time and space / Evil burns in the darkness."

  As if there was wind, gently sweeping by.

  When she heard Quan Shu's soft singing, Fang Yuan's calm heart suddenly throbbed restlessly. A strange picture emerged in her mind: everywhere were human corpses, blood gushing like a flood, and the terrifying evil spirits deep beneath the earth slowly awakening with the nourishment of blood, the evil dark fire bursting forth like fireworks.

  Fang Yuanyuan vaguely felt that there was a certain unknown monster living on the Sea God Island! And this monster had some kind of mysterious connection with her Blood Jade! Perhaps, this monster was what Quan Shu called "evil spirit".

  "What's wrong, Fang Yuan? Why aren't you going to the living room to play cards, but instead hiding here listening to Uncle Quan tell stories?" Chen Feng suddenly appeared, wearing casual clothes.

  Fang Wei smiled slightly: "I like quietness, appreciating the sea view and listening to Quan Shu's stories here is not bad either. Besides, I don't know how to play cards."

  "Even the simplest tractor won't hit?" Chen Feng feigned surprise, "Nowadays girls still don't know how to play cards? Or else, let me teach you how to play?"

  "No need, thank you. I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, maybe it's seasickness, I want to rest for a while." Fang Yuan apologized with a smile and walked out of the cockpit, entering the bedroom to rest.

  She lay on her back in bed, gently closing her eyes, relaxing all over, and a sense of emptiness in her mind. The blood jade on her chest had a subtle warmth that gradually spread throughout her body.

  Fang Wan woke up amidst a burst of cheers. It turned out that the yacht had arrived at Hai Shen Island. She glanced at her watch, 11:40, and the yacht had been sailing for exactly four hours.

  Seven people got off the yacht and headed towards the central area of Hai Shen Island. As they were about to disembark, Quan Shu was still reminding Chen Feng: "Feng Xiao, be careful with everything on the island, if anything happens, call me, don't try to be brave. I'll come pick you up in seven days."

  Chen Feng's mobile phone is a global satellite positioning mobile phone, which can make calls anywhere, and this is also the main reason why Uncle Quan finally agreed to Chen Feng's adventure on Hai Shen.

  The island of the sea god is not big, and it looks no different from an ordinary island. The golden beach, the lush forest, the refreshing sea breeze, the waves... It's like a paradise on earth.

  However, Fang Yuan still felt that something was off. For some reason, she felt that the Sea God Island was gloomy and filled with evil energy.

  After walking for over forty minutes, they suddenly appeared in front of a dozen or so flat houses. Just as everyone was shocked, Chen Feng magically pulled out seven keys.

  "My father's friend originally wanted to build a resort on the Sea God Island, and these houses were built by him. This time I came to explore the Sea God Island, I specifically asked him for the keys to seven rooms. One person per room, each room only has one key."

  "Fangjuan asked: 'Why didn't your father's friend continue to open it?'"

  Chen Feng said: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because the business prospects here are not good; maybe he has other more important businesses to operate and doesn't have time to take care of this."

  A desolate and uninhabited small island, yet there were more than a dozen independent bungalows built on it. Each house had only one door, and even the windows were reinforced with hard steel bars, giving people a feeling of being in a heavily guarded prison cell.

  Near Pingfang, there is a natural lake. The water of the lake is particularly clear and you can see the small stones at the bottom of the lake clearly.

  Qiu Shui let out a cheer and jumped to the lake's edge like a light bird, stretching out her hand to scoop up some water.

  "Be careful!" Fang Yuan suddenly pulled back Qiu Shui.

  "Fang Yuan, what are you doing?" Qiu Shui said with some displeasure.

  "This lake..." Fang Yuan gazed at the water in a daze, as if deep in thought. "I always feel that there's something strange about this island."

  "What's strange? There isn't even a bird here!" Zeng Yingjie said indifferently.

  Upon hearing Zeng Yingjie's sarcasm, Fang Yuan didn't get angry, but instead looked enlightened: "Right, that's the strange thing. On this island, you can't see a single bird! Think about it, which sea island doesn't have birds? And it's not just birds, you can't even see any insects! In this lake, you can't see a single fish, not even a water strider."

  Indeed, on the entire island, apart from them, there wasn't a single living creature in sight.

  Seven people stared at each other in silence, the air suddenly becoming heavy.

  "Ah!" Autumn water suddenly let out a sharp cry!

  "What's your name!" Zi Die said discontentedly.

  Qiu Shui covered her mouth with her hand and pointed to the ground with her finger.

  On the lakeside, there was a wet trail with several blurry footprints on it.

  "What is this footprint?" Chen Feng measured the size of the footprint and compared it with his own. It was clear that the footprint on the water mark was much larger than his.

  "If this is a human footprint, then the person must be over two meters tall." Chen Feng muttered to himself.

  "But on the island of Haishen, apart from us, there shouldn't be anyone else!" Wan Liao Hai said slowly, "I just stood on high ground and looked around with binoculars, I couldn't see any smoke from cooking, nor could I see any boats by the shore."

  "Perhaps these footprints were left by previous tourists." Chen Feng said with a pretended ease, "Since we are here for adventure, it's not like we would be scared off by just a few footprints!"

  Although she said so, Fang Yuan still couldn't put her mind at ease. Those footprints were clearly left not long ago. Could it be that these were the footprints left by the legendary "evil spirit"?

  Enormous body, flying like a bat, sucking fresh blood, huge striking power... As soon as Fang thought of Quan Shu's description, her scalp felt numb and chilly.

  Everyone was busy all day, but nothing happened in the end. Finally, it got dark and they went back to their rooms to sleep.

  In the dead of night, a mournful cry suddenly echoed: "Ah——"

  In the silence, the scream sounded especially terrifying, endless, as if bearing countless pains. If not heard with one's own ears, it would be impossible to believe that such a mournful sound could come from a human being.

  "What's going on?"

  They came out of their houses and gathered together in a state of panic.

  The scream came from Zeng Yingjie's house.

  With a surge of courage from the crowd, Wan Liao Hai somehow managed to find a large axe and led everyone to the door of Zeng Ying Jie's residence.

  "Zeng Yingjie, what's wrong with you?"

  No one answered him. The mournful cries continued, and from time to time came the sound of drawers being pulled out and furniture being overturned, as if Zeng Yingjie was wrestling with something.

  But what could make Zeng Yingjie, a third-degree black belt in taekwondo, so fearful?

  Qiu Shui suddenly let out a sharp cry, pointing at the ground, and leaned softly against Zi Die's body, her lips trembling, unable to speak.

  Along with Autumn Water's fingers pointing away, on the floor in front of Zeng Yingjie's room, a slow stream of crimson blood flowed out, as if it were a brook that quickly spread.

  "Fragrant blood, awakened evil spirits, wicked breath......" Fang Yuan muttered to herself.

  "That's enough! Shut up!" Wan Liao Hai glared at Fang Yuan with a fierce gaze, raised his large axe and struck the door.

  The door was very strong, and even with Wan Liao Hai using all his strength, he could only slowly destroy the door.

  Zeng Yingjie's miserable cry grew weaker and weaker, finally stopping abruptly after a high-pitched scream, as if cut off by a pair of scissors.

  Wan Liao Hai's face was covered in sweat, and with his repeated efforts, the iron lock was smashed to pieces, and the door was kicked open by him.

  In the house, Wan Liao Hai was no longer in human form, his whole body covered in blood, shrunk severely, eyes wide open with black spots all over the whites of his eyes, looking extremely terrified and painful.

  His hand still tightly grasped a sharp military dagger.

  The window was closed and there were no secret passages in the house. In a completely sealed space, in front of them, Zeng Yingjie died inexplicably like this.

  There was also a packet of instant noodles on the table that Zeng Yingjie had eaten.

  "Look, there are words here!" Zi Die exclaimed, pointing at the wall.

  The wall originally had some island scenery paintings, which were also torn to shreds at this time, revealing the blood-stained characters that were originally covered.

  The characters are written in cursive script, with bold and powerful brushstrokes, unbridled and difficult to decipher.

  "The fragrance of fresh blood/Awakens the dormant evil spirit/Pierces through the shackles of time and space/Evil burns in the darkness." Fang Yuan read on, word by word.

  This time, no one told her to shut up.
