People's Grand Voyage, I start a game with a ghost ship - Chapter 379

c379 Transformation Ritual Part 1

Inside Cook Island, the digestion pool of the sea lung.

There are ports all around here, which are used as lakes by humans. There are even docks for maintaining and modifying ships and a number of shops.

Unfortunately, most of the areas are abandoned, dirty, and filled with abandoned debris. There is not even a single ship moored at the port.

Yang Yi did not stay at these buildings for long, but went directly to the source of the bloody smell. After turning around for a long time, he came to the other end of the digestion pool and finally found something.

There were a few dark brown marks on the ground, which were blood stains that had dried up not long ago. Yang Yi touched them with his hand and found that they were not completely dry. It was probably not long ago.

“Where are all the people here?”

Tricia floated aside, looking around and complaining.

“Go up there and take a look.”

Yang Yi stood up and came to the elevator not far away.

This is a human elevator with a wheel on it. If it is turned, it can be moved up and down through the pulley mechanism.

Yang Yi tried to start it, but it was a bit difficult, so he turned into a werewolf and exerted force again. With a click, the wooden handle of the wheel broke directly in Yang Yi’s hand.

This is probably because the equipment is aging and no one has used it for too long.

This group of natives may not use this elevator at all.

“There is a ladder over there.”

Tricia reminded, flying over to the ladder, Yang Yi followed behind, and did not remove the werewolf form.

When he came closer, Yang Yi was sure that this was the common way for this group of people to travel, because the ladder was shiny and shiny, and it was obvious that people often used it.

He looked up and saw that the vertical ladder was several hundred meters high, and there were no safety measures, leading directly to the top floor.

But Yang Yi didn’t need to climb that high.

He took off the big fish man’s head cover and smelled it again, and determined the approximate number of floors. The bloody smell was concentrated 150 meters above, about 30 floors away.

Yang Yi put on the fish man’s head cover again to isolate the dizzy stench, and grabbed the escalator and began to climb up.

Tricia followed behind, holding the newly acquired mini revolver in her hand, ready for battle.

…………..

Ten minutes later, Yang Yi stopped at the 30th floor, because the source of the bloody smell was in front of him – a cave leading to a deeper cave.

At this point, the traces of life became particularly obvious, not only there was a burning brazier, but also a light container hanging from the top that emitted a faint glow.

“This looks like a residential area.” Tricia judged.

Because the walls of this entire floor were dug with holes and doors, extending all the way until there was a larger hole three hundred meters away, leading directly to the inside.

“Be careful, don’t get too far away from me.”

Yang Yi said, stepping on the creaking wooden floor and walking forward.

After advancing more than a hundred meters, he suddenly stopped because of a faint gurgling sound coming from the room on the left.

Yang Yi signaled Tricia to be quiet, took out the roaring flintlock, and pushed open the half-closed door.

Suddenly the sound became clearer, like the sound of boiling liquid.

But there was no one inside, only some old furniture, many of which seemed to be modified from other items and had irregular shapes.

Yang Yi scanned the area, not missing any corner, and walked in only after making sure there was nothing unusual.

Tricia followed him in, and the room was illuminated by the light from her body.

Yang Yi quickly found the small room where the sound came from.

That should be the kitchen, and when he walked over, he found that the stove was burning and something was cooking.

And there was a faucet in the kitchen, one end of which was directly inserted into the inner wall of the wall, that is, the body of the sea lung.

In this way, as long as the faucet is turned on, the sea squirt acid will flow out along the pipe.

“This person is also careless, the pot is still boiling, and the person left.”

Tricia looked around, collected the pieces of dried fish hanging on the wall, and learned to loot supplies.

Yang Yi had no intention of looting, and the most important goal now was to find the people on this island and find out what happened.

He stared at the boiling and shaking pot for a few seconds, and suddenly had a guess, and opened the pot directly.

A white mist with a meaty aroma rose up, and inside was a pot of boiling thick white soup.

This was very much like a thick soup made from fish, and it tasted delicious and mellow.

“What a nice smell!”

Although Tricia blocked her nose with cloth, it was obviously not tight enough, and she still smelled the aroma and flew over immediately.

But her act of drinking secretly was stopped by Yang Yi, who grabbed her and caught her back.

“Wait a minute.”

He stopped Tricia, feeling that things were not that simple, and scooped it with a wooden spoon beside him, and directly scooped up a boneless and boiled human arm bone.

“Is this…cooking human meat soup?”

Tricia immediately lost the desire to drink.

Yang Yi narrowed his eyes and realized that he had guessed right.

As early as when Su Na dissected the half-fish man, she found that they were eating people, so Yang Yi thought of this possibility, and found that it was true after a try.

This group of natives had no shortage of food. There were not only dried fish in the kitchen, but also black-skinned potatoes and pickled sour persimmons in a jar.

So they cannibalized people only for other reasons, not because they were short of food, such as a transformation ritual.

Yang Yi took a photo and sent his guess to Suna, then took the whole pot of thick soup aside.

“It’s possible. Check the room to see if there are any ritual arrays or similar things, and take a photo and send it to me.”

Suna replied.

Yang Yi immediately began to search, but found nothing extra.

Moreover, the owner of the house seemed to have no habit of keeping records, and not even a piece of paper was found.

“Let’s go.”

Yang Yi said to Tricia.

The latter took advantage of these few minutes to pack up all the food in the kitchen and put it into his purse, except for the pot of human soup.

The two left, closed the door, and continued to the passage ahead.

This time Yang Yi didn’t stop any longer, and his steps were obviously much faster, making a crunching sound when he stepped on the ground.

Two minutes later.

They arrived not far from the passage.

“Shh!”

The wolf ears in Yang Yi’s mask trembled, and when he heard the movement, he immediately covered Tricia with a cloth dyed black by the core of darkness, and the surrounding light suddenly became very dark.

The shimmer of blue light spots on the wall became the main light source.

Then there are scattered braziers and vessels of light that emit a faint glow.

“What’s wrong?”

Tricia sent a private message.

“There’s someone talking in front. You might be discovered if it’s too bright. Stay inside for a while.”

Yang Yi replied, carrying the black bag containing Tricia and holding the roaring flintlock gun in the other hand. He crouched and tiptoed forward.

The voice in my ears gradually became clearer. It was someone speaking in fish-man language.

“…Great Sage, I have completely followed your instructions, but why am I still not completely transformed into a fish-man? What is the reason for this?”

A special fishman, one meter and five meters tall, with limbs no different from those of humans, knelt on the ground and asked.

He has almost become a fish-man. Except that his limbs have no scales, he is no different from a fish-man.
