Chapter 425: Mutation - Loneliness 34
Chang Tianhua was afraid that Anjiu was trying to trick them, so after careful consideration, he found her alone and used the excuse that he had captured a lot of skeletons and there were not enough ropes, so he wanted to send them all up at once, and asked Anjiu to take him up.
An Jiu smiled, "Of course, do you want to call your teammates as well?"
"If that's the case...it depends on how many skeletons they capture."
That being said, when Chang Tianhua asked the other two for their opinions, they both said that they had too many skeletons and not enough to keep them.
"Okay, let's go."
Anjiu tied the skeletons together with a rope, tied the top around his waist, and swam upstream with the three of them.
Chang Tianhua and Dong Liniu learned their lesson and put two swimming rings on their bodies. Not only did this save Liu Shen effort, but they also didn't have to worry about not being able to float up.
When they surfaced, they saw the bright snail-dwelling platform at a glance and saw the murderous natives stuffing skeletons into buckets.
The movements are rough, neat, and smooth like flowing water.
It seems that the girl was not lying, the natives really need the skeletons!
An Jiu: "Let's go, you guys go over and say hello too."
Chang Tianhua: "No, no, just say hello for us, we won't go over for now."
Are you kidding? They have shown up in front of the indigenous people before. Wouldn't it be courting death if they go up to them rashly?
Of course, it is safer to stay far away in the sea.
"Little girl, help us deliver this string of skeletons over there. When we get there, tell them we are doing the work for them without asking for anything in return!"
Anjiu took the rope and tied it around his waist.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me."
By the time Anjiu swam over and climbed onto the shore, their hearts almost stopped.
"It should be true. She is not afraid at all."
"Look, the native is coming over! He's actually helping her pull the rope! And he's even smiling at her!"
"This time I believe it. This time I really believe it."
"I hope she can say a few good words for us. We don't have any bad intentions. As long as the door opens, she will let us in. It will be worth it even if she has to catch skeletons for two nights!"
The three of them spoke their own words, and they couldn't help but feel deep admiration for An Jiu.
How do people do this?
Why don't you kill her?
Strange things!
Just as they were complaining in their hearts, the native suddenly raised his head and looked at them with sharp eyes.
"!"
The three of them suddenly froze and felt a chill all over their bodies.
"Is this... a reference to us?"
"Oh no, oh no, they must have recognized us. This may not work..."
Seeing how scared they were, An Jiu curled his lips slightly, turned around and said, "Chief, I found them to be quite useful. After a few words of deception, they worked hard to catch the Skeleton Man. They saved me a lot of trouble. I am quite safe with them around."
The patriarch looked at him with disapproval.
"We can't trust these cunning aliens. They are the most cruel and ruthless. Call them over and I will kill them to prevent future troubles!"
An Jiu advised: "Chief, use them first, otherwise I will be too weak if I rely on myself alone. Resurrecting the tribesmen is the most important thing."
The patriarch looked gloomy and shook his head slowly, then heaved a sigh of helplessness.
"What you said makes sense. Use it first. The yellow knife is still on you, right? If you sense something is wrong, don't show mercy."
"Speaking of Yellow Knife..." An Jiu took out the paper from her pocket and smiled shyly, "Chief, I can't use it."
The yellow knife didn't obey her commands. In her hands, it was just a piece of paper.
It has no power.
"How could that be?" The tribe leader was surprised. "The yellow knife is a weapon that every member of our tribe can use. How can you not use it?"
Anjiu: "It really doesn't work. Maybe something went wrong."
She shook the yellow paper; it was soft and not sharp at all.
"..." The tribe leader was puzzled and thought that there was something wrong with the yellow knife, but when he took it and threw it out, the yellow knife immediately returned to its original shape and created a sound of wind around him.
The three people in the water were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
"Swinging a knife, swinging a knife, are you going to kill us because we can't come to an agreement?"
"No way, it's so far away."
"Hey, it's over. The girl who wanted the knife! Why did she take it on her own initiative? Is she going to do it herself?"
Anjiu imitated the tribe leader and threw the yellow knife, but... it fell quietly to the ground.
"That's it." She was also helpless.
The chief was upset. "It's okay, it's okay. It must be just like what you said. Something went wrong. Don't worry. The chief won't blame you. Collect the skeletons. The three of you!"
He suddenly shouted fiercely to the three people in the water: "Don't think I can't do anything just because you are far away. Go down and catch the skeleton man now. Don't be lazy!"
After he finished speaking, he threw out the yellow knife.
The yellow knife flew rapidly along the sea surface, leaving a trail of ripples behind it. In almost the blink of an eye, it approached the location of the three people.
However, when it was about to touch it, it spun around and flew back.
Only a sharp wind blew on the three people's cheeks.
"Yes Yes!"
The three were so frightened that their legs went weak and they immediately dived to the bottom of the sea.
Although the words of the natives were full of threats, they didn't care. As long as they could be let go when the door opened, it would be fine.
What is temporary compromise?
Anyway, all the supplies have been collected, I can endure it in order to go home!
After driving away the three people, Anjiu and the tribe leader began to deal with the skeletons. All the basins and buckets they had brought up before came in handy.
Put one in a small bucket and two or three in a large bucket. When they start to melt during the day, you don't need to use a shovel to clean them out.
Except for the space it takes up, everything else is good.
Anjiu scanned the sea with a flashlight. Except for the floating ice, all the colorful objects were floating, and each of them had one or two skeletons tied to it.
Even if the patriarch cannot get there by then, he can still drive the snail dwellers to the nearby area.
"How did you meet them?" the patriarch suddenly asked.
"Actually, this isn't the first time I've encountered this. Skeletons seem to be able to locate living people. Their hiding place is densely packed with skeletons. I was just waiting nearby to catch them. They took the initiative to come down to find me."
"Did they tell you what the purpose was?"
Anjiu looked up at the sharp-eyed patriarch. What should he say?
Telling the fellow villagers that the portal would appear on the snail house was a lie to get them to work. If the door was not opened here, there would be no need for them to come up.
You can't make the clan leader angry because of something unknown, right?
As expected, if you tell a lie, you have to make up for it with more lies...
An Jiu said calmly: "I want you to let them go."
The clan leader thought for a moment and said seriously, "We're giving them a break while we're capturing the Skeleton Man."
"Yes," Anjiu nodded, "The skeleton man I caught yesterday has been melted. I sent it to Madam's room to prevent it from being accidentally stepped on and spilled."
"Let's go together. I want to see what her current condition is. After all, the liquid she applied the first time is very special."
