The entire hair and clothes on her body were soaked through, and they were cold against her body, just like An Huiling's mood at this time.

When will these days end?She didn't have an answer in her heart, but she knew she had to persevere.

"Elder brother, come and save me..." she murmured.

This is already An Huiling's third day of survival in this strange world. In the middle of the night last night, three small monsters the size of wolf dogs used their keen sense of smell to find An Huiling hiding in a hidden place. After a short but fierce fight, Finally, with the cover of a stun bomb, An Huiling successfully broke out of the siege of these little monsters, finally found a new shelter, and survived until daylight.

After taking the time to rest for a while, An Huiling started searching everywhere again.

This time, she set her sights on those books and information about this resort.

After all, in this situation, she had to do something to increase the possibility of escaping from here, and to take a step back, she should at least increase her chances of survival as much as possible.

So, for some beings, if this is a "game", then based on her previous experience in games, which is not very rich, she must find the clues.

After some consideration, An Huiling set her sights on information about this resort and the Poseidon belief.

She first needs to figure out as much as possible what exactly is she facing?

According to the map in her hand, An Huiling discovered a small library located on the northwest side of the scenic spot, so she went there...

........................

This is a library with quite a sense of design. The entire appearance has a very strong island style.The library has two floors, and each floor has a large number of bookshelves arranged against the wall, with various books placed in between.There are many tea seats arranged in it, which seem to be for guests to drink tea or coffee while reading.

There is a small tea bar at the entrance of the library, which seems to be able to provide some special refreshments and drinks, but it is empty at this time and there is no one at all.

An Huiling carefully walked into the library. The library was silent, but she soon discovered something unusual in this library.

That is, on the ceiling of the library, there are life-size faces protruding from the wall, as if someone is trying to get out of the wall. Some of these lifelike faces seem to be wailing, Some seemed to be laughing wildly, while others seemed to be crying.There were hundreds of faces all over the ceiling. An Huiling carefully observed them for a while and found that these faces did not seem to pose any real threat. Then she increased her vigilance and walked in.

An Huiling started searching from the bookshelf at the entrance of the library on the first floor. The library may not seem big, but there are actually a lot of books. Fortunately, many of the bookshelves here have nameplates, and the nameplates mark the titles displayed on the bookshelves.

An Huiling briefly checked several bookshelves and found that most of the books were about travel, novels, popular books and other reading materials for leisure time. In addition, there were also many various magazines and newspapers, most of which were about finance, entertainment and so on. The main types are gossip and news.

However, this was not what An Huiling needed. She only checked it briefly and then went to check other bookshelves.

On a bookshelf on the second floor, An Huiling found some books about the geography and humanities of the Sulu Islands. Before the colonial era, the islanders of Sulu Island were still in a relatively ignorant tribal system and did not have their own written language. , naturally will not have its own historical records.Therefore, similar books were written by later scholars and explorers.

An Huiling browsed through it briefly, selected a few books that related to local information and took them with her, and then walked out. This library was really weird, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.

After leaving the library, An Huiling casually found a wooden deck chair by the roadside to sit down, and then began to read the found books one by one.

Soon, she found some records about local beliefs in a book called "Exploration of Sulu's Native Culture and Tribal System."

This is a book from quite some time ago. The author, Le Xianlin, is a folklorist who visited various tribes on the islands during the period of great development of the Sulu Islands.

2Chapter 16 Poseidon Worship

According to the above records, the original social form of the local indigenous peoples in the Sulu Islands was tribalism. At the same time, before the introduction of Taoism and Buddhism, sea god worship and religious beliefs similar to animistic worship were the main beliefs of the local indigenous people.

Before Jokhang occupied this place, most of the local tribal disputes were not over land and other sources of livelihood. Most of the conflicts between them originated from religious activities, especially the wars between some indigenous tribes, which were often over captives. The population is used to worship the gods.

Many tribes on Sulu Island had a widespread tradition of human sacrifice at that time. From this perspective, it was a rather cruel and bloody religious culture.This religious form was greatly impacted after the entry of the more powerful Zhuxia culture, and has now mostly been replaced by the Taoist and Buddhist religions that have more complete theoretical systems and stronger organizations.

In the traditional religious beliefs of local indigenous peoples, they believe that all land and natural things were created by gods before the emergence of humans. The same things that were created include humans themselves.

And these gods still exist in nature and influence everything in nature.They maintain the safety of their tribe and even themselves by pleasing the gods.

Among the local beliefs, the one most worshiped by them is the sea god Argon. The author of the book speculates that this is probably because the geographical factors of the island environment are greatly affected by the marine climate.

In local mythology, the sea god Argon is a typical fierce god with a moody personality who likes to capsize ships in the sea and drag fallen crew members into the sea for fun.At the same time, based on Le Xianlin’s communication with the local indigenous priests, he discovered that in the local belief system, the sea god Argon is, to some extent, no longer simply the god in charge of the ocean.In addition to oceans and waters, its authority also includes dreams, illusions and even death...

It can be said that the local people's worship of Argon in their sacrifices is somewhat generalized. However, this situation is relatively common in the worship of many gods.A typical example is Guan Gong in Zhang Jing's previous life, who gradually evolved from a martial saint to a god of wealth, and even had more power... However, Le Xianlin confessed in the book that he could not verify whether there was a reason for the worship of Argon. The simple Poseidon gradually turned into a situation of multiple powers.

However, the book also describes some legends about Argon told by priests. For example, in local legends, Argon is sleeping in the abyss of the sea. When local children are noisy, their parents also He would scare them with Argon, saying things like: "Don't make any noise, Argon will wake up if you make any more noise!"

However, with the development of colonization and the gradual development of the Spice Islands, clergy from religions within the empire such as Taoism and Buddhism also came here for missionary work.

Compared with Taoism and Buddhism, which are more complete in theory and do not require bloody sacrifices, the native beliefs of the Spice Islands seem a bit primitive.Especially under the impact of modern lifestyles and ideological culture, coupled with the fact that the imperial official has never recognized these "obscene sacrifices" that have not been approved by the empire, gradually many indigenous people began to change their beliefs. Today, hundreds of millions of people in the Spice Islands Most of the population has converted to foreign religions. Most of them believe in Taoism and Buddhism, and a small number of people believe in Western Shengqi religions.

The descriptions of Argon's faith in these books are not very in-depth. Most of them are simply introduced as a kind of folklore behavior. However, this has given An Huiling a general understanding of what this kind of faith is like.

After understanding this, An Huiling couldn't help but think of what he said when she met the hanged man.

"You are guilty... you sinners who have turned your back on God..."

Abandoning God... An Huiling frowned and thought for a while. Could it be that the people here have changed their faith? !

But, even if I know this, how should I get out of this area?

An Huiling realized her lack of knowledge about this kind of thing. If the senior brother were here, he might be able to grasp the core of the problem quickly...

"...We have tried various methods so far, but none of them have very good results."

"Yes... yes... we have tried it, and all the drones we sent out have lost contact... This kind of fog can cut off our communication signals."

“……………………”

"Yes...yes...I understand, we will continue to try..."

"……………………"

Putting down the phone in his hand, the fleet commander, Captain Tang Mingchen, sighed. Shangfeng took this matter very seriously and repeatedly emphasized that he should try all possible means.

At the same time, Shangfeng also vaguely informed him in the communication that this incident has attracted the attention of some Western powers. For example, Luen has made an exploratory request through the diplomatic level to send reporters and open the blocked area.Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently trying to excuse itself by saying that it has not received any reports of unknown events and needs to communicate with local authorities to learn more about the situation.

This also means that if the military cannot make progress in a short period of time, then when more and more eyes gather, the incident will become uncontrollable...

And if that happens, there is a high probability that I will not be able to escape as a bad person, and my future will probably be bleak...

In particular, according to the intelligence received so far, the foggy area is a high-end tourist area, and some influential dignitaries are also trapped inside. This is the most troublesome, and it also makes public opinion control exponentially more difficult. Increase.

Not only abroad, but also at home, some media have caught wind of the incident and are trying to find some explosive news.It is said that reporters have appeared outside the blockade area.

However, I have to say that I have never encountered such a weird thing since I joined the army. So far, the fleet has used a variety of detection methods, but these fogs are like a black hole that can isolate signals, completely useless. Detected by methods such as radar.

The previously dispatched drones also lost their traces one after another after entering the foggy area.

Not long ago, some marines took the risk and ventured into the foggy area. However, the result was that after entering the fog, these soldiers seemed to have traveled more than ten kilometers out of thin air and reached the other side of the fog.

2Chapter 17 Worse developments

In this fog, there seems to be some kind of power that can distort space.

According to Shangfeng, the expedition team from the Imperial Academy of Sciences has been formed and will arrive here soon. They will then be given some technical guidance.

However, overall, military leaders still hope that they can solve the problem as soon as possible.

From time to time, there will be faint murmurs in the ears. This situation has not happened in the past few days, which means that the situation is indeed developing in a worse direction.

An Huiling already had some experience at this time. She knew that she must not pay attention to these murmurs. If she listened to these murmurs attentively, there would probably be unpredictable risks.

She tried her best to focus on the movements around her. This foggy area contained countless dangers at night.

The drizzle in the sky was still falling, and there was a puff of water vapor surrounding it. There was a sound of flapping wings in the sky not far away, and there were dozens of strange and twisted looking monsters hovering at low altitude.

An Huiling carefully lay down on the ground. At this time, she was hiding under a heavily rusted vehicle. She remained motionless to avoid causing trouble.

This was the third night in this strange area. An Huiling had gradually begun to accumulate some experience and began to learn how to avoid those monsters more effectively.

However, what worries her is that tonight, some new varieties of monsters seem to have appeared around her.

After the monsters in the sky flew away, An Huiling carefully got out from under the vehicle. Not caring about her disgraced appearance, she got into a bush not far away. After becoming a first-level monk, Although her skin looks the same on the surface as before, in fact, its strength is no longer the same, so when faced with the scratches of these plant barbs, apart from some discomfort, it does not bring her any harm. to further trouble.

She carefully changed her position, adjusting from one hiding place to another. As she moved, she looked left and right to pay attention to where she could become a long-term refuge tonight.

However, before she could walk a hundred meters away, a wave of heart palpitations suddenly came over her, and An Huiling hurriedly rolled over and hid in a ditch nearby.

At the same moment as An Huiling rolled away, a huge monster hit the spot where An Huiling was standing like a huge stone, causing splashes of water and a loud thud.

At this time, An Huiling had already seen the monster clearly. She saw that the monster was as thick as an adult brown bear, with abnormally long arms. The upper limbs were visually much longer than the lower limbs, and the head was that of a human. There are scars all over it, there are no whites of the eyes, the eyes are pitch black, there are no mouths and ears, and hot breath comes from the big nostrils that are turned upward.

This monster's body has a carapace similar to that of aquatic animals, and bone spurs of different shapes are all over its body. To the naked eye, its defensive power is quite amazing.The positions of its hands were not hands or claws, but two sharp giant claws like crab claws. These giant claws dragged on the ground, making a tooth-ache-inducing sound.

It was too late, but soon, the moment An Huiling met the monster's eyes, the monster was already on all fours and pounced towards An Huiling.

An Huiling lightly jumped onto a bus parked on the side of the road not far away, and quickly took off the rifle on her back.In their hellish state, these vehicles all showed signs of rust, as if they had been parked for decades.

The monster jumped into the air without stopping, its body dwarfed, and whoosh!It was like a giant hammer demolishing a house, flying towards it.

An Huiling jumped up again, and at the same time, the monster had jumped to the top of the bus.

"Bang!!!"

The windows of the bus burst out one after another, and a hole was torn open in the roof by the monster's pliers. The bus body could not bear its weight, and it made a heart-breaking squeaking sound, and half of it collapsed.

"Tap tap tap..." An Huiling jumped in the air and fired a shot, hitting the monster. After that, she fell to the ground, turned around and ran away.

The bullet landed on the carapace of the monster, only causing a few cracks in the carapace, but other than that, it had no useful effect.

"call!"

With another leap, the monster opened its two giant pincers and charged after An Huiling.

Just as the monster flew forward, An Huiling ran forward and continued to fire bullets from the rifle in his hand, targeting the monster's head.

The monster's movements were wide open and closed, but extremely fast and violent. It swayed and dodged An Huiling's bullets, and pursued An Huiling closely.

I saw it leaping up again...

"puff!!"

The monster's pincers, like a boulder falling to the ground, inserted into the position where An Huiling had just stood. Two ravines were pulled out of the hard ground, and the soil rolled up.

The moment after the monster pounced, the moment the pair of pincers hit the ground, An Huiling rolled on the ground several times, stood up, and fired a grenade.

Using a grenade at such a close distance, An Huiling herself was affected to a certain extent and was thrown away.

And the monster was finally hit hard this time. The grenade hit the shoulder on the right side of the head, shattering the carapace on its shoulder and cutting a deep gash in the neck on the side of the head. The blood instantly dyed a large area of ​​land red.

Unexpectedly, the monster's actions did not seem to be hindered at all. It completely ignored the damaged wounds, only paused slightly, and then rushed out at an even faster speed.

"Click, click, click..." An Huiling continued to climb up to the top of a nearby building and continued to shoot back. However, when she pulled the trigger next, it was a miss. The bullets had been used up at some point.

An Huiling was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that she had no time to count bullets due to her lack of experience.

An Huiling threw the rifle at the monster, jumped to the top of another building, and ran away at a faster speed.

The monster seemed to have been deeply angered by An Huiling's attack just now. It let out a low hissing sound, then rolled into a ball like iron gall and shot towards An Huiling's direction.

But compared to An Huiling's movement, it was a bit bulkier after all. This tank-like attack could only hit the bottom of An Huiling's feet again and crash into the building.With a sudden explosion, the ruins of the building collapsed.

Chapter 248 Amulet

Unusually persistent and ferocious, the monster that rushed into the building stood upright again and jumped out from inside. Relying on its height, long limbs, rough skin and thick flesh, without any defensive movements, it accelerated towards An Huiling. .

The house leaked and it rained all night. At this moment, the movement here alerted a group of monsters that happened to fly close.

Each of these monsters is as tall as an adult, flapping a pair of wings that look like a mixture of bats and flying fish fins. There is no head visible on their bodies, only one protruding forward. The huge mouthparts are covered with tentacles, the twisted body is covered with scales like insect carapace, the abdomen is as fat as a praying mantis, and the six slender and sharp legs are reminiscent of some marine arthropods.

These monsters screamed and flew towards An Huiling who was leaping upstairs...

Now, An Huiling is really in trouble...

These monsters screamed and circled, passing over An Huiling's head at high speed, trying to hook her with their sharp claws and take her directly into the air.

Among them, some monsters spit out some kind of pus directly at An Huiling, and this liquid hit An Huiling's body at an extremely fast speed.

Not daring to receive such an unknown spit, An Huiling could only roll continuously again to avoid the attacks of several flying monsters.However, the carapace monster behind him was approaching again in an instant.

Suddenly feeling panicked, An Huiling bent her legs and used the force of pushing against the wall to launch herself diagonally towards the center of the street.Rocks and bricks flew behind him, and ashes were scattered everywhere.

At this time, the monsters in the air also followed and launched another attack. With her left arm and right arm bent, An Huiling was directly grabbed by a flying monster's claw hook on her left shoulder, and her body was violently pulled by a huge force. , with a blurted scream, she was taken into the air.

At this critical moment, she gritted her teeth, twitched her left wrist with her right hand, held the long sword in her hand, and then swung the sword to slash the leg of the flying monster...

The monster's jointed limbs were chopped off, and An Huiling's body lost its balance and fell directly from more than ten meters in the air.
