Chapter 700 Two Strange Men Emerge from the Water
The four of us looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
The vortex finally turned into a huge black hole with a diameter of more than ten feet, from which spewed out disgusting stench.
Xiaoying covered her nose and said, "Brother Xiaomu, let's go. It stinks here."
Chu Xiaomu made a gesture of silence, indicating to the three of them not to speak, because he heard strange noises coming from the black hole.
Lu Lin Nan Ge gently drew out the short sword from his waist. The tip of the sword flashed white light, which was the sign of launching spiritual magic.
Under the incredulous gazes of the four people, two ugly and strange-looking monsters walked out of the black hole.
The two men looked very similar, with short heads, flat mouths, long arms and legs, and webbed fingers. Their soles also had webbed feet, similar to the shape of duck feet, and were about one foot in size, so they could stand directly on the water.
The two strange men seemed a little surprised to see four people standing on the reef. One of them looked at the other, puffed up his throat twice, made a gurgling sound, and said in a strange voice: "Where are these people...?"
The other weirdo also grunted twice in response, and said in the same awkward and strange accent: "Man... valley..." His accent was extremely strange, and the last few words were vague and unclear. It seemed that he was saying something about "valley" and also a bit like "thank you".
Chu Xiaomu and the other three felt that their voices sounded like the common language of the four countries, but they were so strange that they could not understand what they meant. They also did not know whether they were good or evil, and did not know whether they should respond or how to respond. Fortunately, three of the four of them were quite capable, and they thought they could deal with these two strange spirits that came from nowhere.
Lu Lin Nan Ge frowned and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" The white light on the tip of the sword became brighter, and it was obvious that she was applying more and thicker spiritual power to the dagger.
Then he whispered to Chu Xiaomu and the other two, "I think they are from Lanming Country."
Lanming Country is the Water Country. Lanming Country is the proper name, while Water Country is the customary name used by the people of Cangmu Country and Baixue Country. Chu Xiaomu and Aqi have both seen a Lanming Country person, who is Hai Wuqing, who was also a slave in the Jiaoshan Mine in Jinyang City.
Hai Wuqing is from Pearl Island in the West Sea, which is only a thousand miles away from Baijun City and Yuzu Island. Because the island is rich in pearls, it often trades with the people of Cangmu Country. The people on the island are influenced by the culture of Cangmu Country, so they are very proficient in speaking the common language of the four countries.
Moreover, they have learned the diet, clothing, house architecture, etc. of the Cangmu people for thousands of years. Although they still clearly retain the characteristics of the Lanming people in appearance, they are closer to the Cangmu people than the Lanming people on other islands far away from the mainland.
Hai Wuqing's appearance was considered very ugly in the eyes of the Cangmu people, but the two Lanming people in front of him were more than ten times uglier than Hai Wuqing. Their necks were almost short, their eyeballs were almost half bulging out of their eye sockets, their mouths were extremely large, and the corners of their mouths almost exceeded the roots of their ears. Moreover, their ears were not really ears at all, but just two protrusions half a finger long, like two fleshy buds.
Xiaoying couldn't help but chuckle and said softly, "They look like two big toads."
Aqi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Xiaoying, you have a sharp eye and can see through the secret at a glance." But he was glared at by Lu Lin Nan Ge again.
Chu Xiaomu signaled to keep quiet and listen to what the two weirdos had to say.
One of the weirdos from Lanming Country said, "The black one... is returned, and they won't kill... us..."
The words "not to kill" and "we" were relatively clear, and the four of them could hear them. Aqi said, "If you are not evil people, not evil spirits, we certainly won't kill you."
The two weirdos looked at each other for a few seconds, and a few strange "gurgling" sounds came out of their throats again. The weirdo who had just spoken said again: "The black ones... return them, don't kill... us!" It seemed as if he emphasized his previous words.
Aqi said: "I guess you should be the spirits of Lanming Country. As long as you don't come to make things difficult for our Cangmu Country, we will certainly not kill you."
The two weirdos had ferocious looks on their faces, and seemed very dissatisfied with Ah Qi's answer. Another one suddenly shouted, "Don't kill... us... you!"
Aqi wanted to explain to them again, but Chu Xiaomu pulled him back and said, "Everyone, be careful. They might have mixed up what they said."
Aqi recalled almost everything the two weirdos said, and indeed realized that they had spoken in reverse order. When they said "don't kill...us", they didn't mean not to kill them, but meant "we won't kill you four"!
The four of them understood what was going on and were actually a little nervous, because they had never seen these two strange spirits before and didn't know how to deal with them. People tend to be afraid of things they don't understand.
Lu Lin Nan Ge snorted and said, "It's not certain who will kill whom yet, let's see what you can do!" He swung the dagger in his hand, and a white flash fell beside the two weirdos, making a sharp crackling sound and a large splash of water.
The weirdo who just yelled said again, "The black tripod... is back!"
Chu Xiaomu and the other three still didn't understand what he meant and looked at each other for a moment.
