Ye An

Chapter 146 The Truth

Lifelike people turned into unrecognizable dust in an instant.

Xiao Yun walked closer, bent his knees, and found a black long knife from under the man's ashes.The scabbard has disappeared, and the blade is covered with thick black, full of coagulated blood, including mutant beasts and traitors in the fleet.

Over the long years, the blood has solidified and hardened, soaking every mark on the back of the knife.

Lifting the long knife in front of him, Xiao Yun stared at the damaged blade for a long time.Then he put down the long knife, tore off the coat, and spread it on the ground.

"Master Xiao..." Ye An hesitated to speak, not sure what to say.

"En." Xiao Yun responded with a monotone, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his transparent white wrists and forearms.

The black coat covered the floor, Xiao Yun carefully picked up the scattered ashes, wrapped them all in the coat, and tied them up firmly.

Seeing this scene, Ye An's throat felt a little congested.

With all the previous clues and the man's facial features resembling Xiao Yun, he was able to guess the man's identity.It is only one step away from the truth, but no one can predict such an accident, and it is definitely not comforting by a joke about the world.

After collecting the man's ashes, Xiao Yun sat on the ground leaning against the wall without saying a word for a long time.

Ever since the trip to a thousand cities, he had asked some clues from Gray, and he had a premonition, but he never expected that the moment he unlocked the answer, he encountered such a scene.

Xiao Yun's emotions were too strong, never before, even if he didn't intentionally assimilate, Ye An could still perceive clearly, and even be infected by him, the emotions collided violently, and his nasal cavity felt a little sore.

"Master Xiao."

Xiao Yun raised his head, his eyes fell on Ye An's face.

Ye An took a deep breath and said, "Can I go there?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yun nodded and made room for a seat by the wall.

Ye An walked up to him, sat down next to Xiao Yun, didn't say anything comforting, but patted himself on the shoulder and said, "Do you need it?"

Xiao Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and when Ye An thought he would not accept it, he suddenly slid down, rested his head on Ye An's shoulder, and closed his eyes.In the silence, the intense emotions suddenly rose up, like a raging ocean wave, reaching a high place, and finally began to slowly fall back.

Leaning on Xiao Yun's shoulders, his whole body was wrapped in coldness, half of his body seemed to be snuggling on ice.Fortunately, Ye An had gotten used to it, and with the influence of the mutated octopus residue, he didn't shiver from the cold, nor did he feel any discomfort.

After sitting for a while, Ye An bent one long leg, glanced sideways at the head on his shoulder, controlled the urge to reach out and rub it, put his arms on his knees, looked at the animal skin rolls in the room, carefully released his emotions, Trying to let Xiao Yun's emotions settle down further.

"My father." Xiao Yun said suddenly, his words were a bit out of date, but Ye An understood.

"I had a hunch and prepared for it, but I just never thought it would be like this."

Ye An could perceive all Xiao Yun's emotions at the moment without any hindrance or cover.

Even if it was a skeleton instead of the lifelike face before, Xiao Yun would not have such a reaction.Such emotions and actions are almost completely different from the Lord of the Hunter City in Ye An's cognition. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it at all.

"I know something is wrong with me." Xiao Yun opened his eyes and whispered, "But I can't control it."

Ye An suddenly realized that even unconsciously, his emotions were affecting Xiao Yun.

The two had assimilated before, and anyone Ye An assimilated, whether it was a human or a mutant beast, would have a certain connection with each other. This connection may weaken over time, but it will not disappear completely.

Knowing this joint, Ye An was suddenly a little embarrassed, moved his body, crossed his legs, and changed his position.

"Master Xiao, this may have something to do with me."

Xiao Yun didn't answer or ask, but held Ye An's wrist, his cold fingers slid down the back of Ye An's hand, penetrated between his fingers, and held it firmly the next moment.

Staring at the intertwined fingers of the two, Ye An felt even more embarrassed, always feeling that Xiao Yun's reaction was wrong, even more wrong than before.

Squeezing the earlobe with free hands, sensing that Xiao Yun's emotions were no longer fluctuating violently, Ye An tried to ask: "Should I take a look at these first?"

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked in the direction of Ye An's finger.In the process of raising his head, whether it was accidental or not, his cold lips brushed against the side of Ye An's neck, leaving an unusually clear touch.

When Xiao Yun sat up, Ye An subconsciously covered his neck, noticed Xiao Yun's gaze, quickly let go of his hand, and instinctively coughed twice.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun quickly returned to normal, restrained his rare fragility, got up and walked to the stacked animal skins, picked up two rolls from the outer layer, threw one roll to Ye An, and unfolded the other roll by itself.

Ye An caught the animal skin with one hand, and found that the touch was very similar to the map he discovered earlier, and it should be from the same craft.Carefully untie the rope on the top, unfold the animal skin little by little, and all the marks and characters on the picture are presented in front of your eyes.

The embarrassing thing is that apart from being able to recognize a few marks, Ye An didn't know any of the words on it.Without pictures to help identify, he can only be confused, and has no idea what is recorded above.

Compared to Ye An's incomprehension, Xiao Yun was fascinated by it, with an extremely serious expression, showing a bit more seriousness.

After browsing the animal skins in his hand, Xiao Yun quickly unfolded the second volume and the third volume... Soon, the animal skins piled up into a hill were unrolled and spread layer by layer on the ground.

Most of them contained signs and characters that Ye An didn't recognize, and some of them were drawn pictures, which were similar to the structural diagram of a city, and some of them were like the structure and parts of a sea ship. Ye An carefully identified them, but he still couldn't figure it out. allow.

Xiao Yun's speed was extremely fast, and the animal skin roll quickly bottomed out.Remove the last two volumes to reveal a slightly different colored floor below.

Xiao Yun bent down and knocked, heard the sound of the hollow, and pried it with a dagger, but the wooden board remained motionless, apparently locked with a special method, just like the metal door and wooden door at the entrance of a secret room.

"I'll do it." Ye An wrapped the animal skin around his hands, restrained his strength a little, tested it twice, and the third punch smashed through the wood.

The planks bent inward and broke in two, with a large broken hole in the middle.

Sawdust splattered all around, mostly falling into the hollow below.

The broken board was removed, and what appeared in front of the two was a dark pavilion with a length, width, and height of no more than [-] centimeters.

Inside the dark cabinet is a ball of animal skin with tooth marks. It doesn't feel good to the touch. The surface is covered with particles, and the tip is very sharp. If you are not careful, you will be scratched.

"This should not be an ordinary animal skin." Ye An said.

"This is shark skin." Xiao Yun wrapped his sleeves around his palms and took out the whole ball of shark skin.Sensing the weight of his hand, he couldn't help but pause.

"Shark skin?" Suddenly thinking of the fins lying in the passage, Ye An suddenly realized, "No wonder."

Xiao Yun put the rolled up shark skin on the ground, and unwrapped it layer by layer from the edge.During the process, Ye An gradually perceives the familiar energy, which belongs to the spar!

The last layer of shark skin was peeled off, and what appeared in front of their eyes was a spar the size of a fist, which was transparent as a whole, without any scorched skin on the surface, which was obviously processed and polished.

The appearance of this spar did not surprise Ye An. It was a sunken ship in Haicheng. The keel of the ship was made of the bones of sea beasts, which contained amazing energy.Finding hedrons in carefully hidden chambers should come as no surprise.

To his surprise, this kind of shark skin can actually isolate the crystal energy!

In order to verify what he thought, Ye An took the shark skin from Xiao Yun, and rewrapped the spar as it was.

Sure enough, with the layers of shark skin layered on top of each other, the overflowing energy gradually decreased, and was finally completely isolated and could no longer be sensed.

With this astonishing discovery, Ye An looked at Xiao Yun with a question, could this be Haicheng's secret?

Xiao Yun's expression showed doubts, he picked up the animal skin and rummaged through it again, finally found two, and handed one of them to Ye An.Ye An still didn't recognize the mark on it, but there were pictures next to it, so that he could deepen his understanding.

"This is a unique character in Haicheng." Xiao Yun explained to Ye An, "At first it represented a semaphore, which only the crew and sailors could recognize and use. Soon it spread throughout the city and became a unique language for Haicheng people to pass on messages. "

While explaining to Ye An, Xiao Yun pointed out the relevant records above.

"Specific shark skin can isolate spar energy. It is also a secret inside Haicheng, and only a few people know it. It records the discovery process, and it shows that hunting this kind of shark is very dangerous. If you encounter sharks, the whole branch The fleet could all be buried at the bottom of the ocean."

"Sharks?" Ye An asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xiao Yun unfolded two more animal skins. The markings on them were very scribbled, obviously written in a hurry, and one of them was not full, most of it was empty, and there were bloodstains on it.

"It records that there are traitors on board, who directed the wrong course in the process of fighting against sea beasts, and led the fleet into the waters full of sharks." Xiao Yun paused, his voice became low, "The cabin was destroyed, a large number of The crystals of the sea were thrown into the sea, attracting more sea beasts."

Listening to Xiao Yun's narration, Ye An couldn't help frowning.

On the vast sea, breaking into a school of sharks and being besieged by sea beasts, no one on board can escape, and the same goes for these traitors!Did they not think of this, or did it on purpose?

Just as Xiao Yun was about to speak, the secret room suddenly shook violently. Then, there was a loud bang from outside the secret room, as if some kind of force was shaking the sunken ship, intending to crush all the passages and walls of the protective secret room!
