Neighbors in forbidden land

Now in front of my eyes is a huge ship.

Compared to the human ships I've ever seen... I've lost the ability to discern.

No matter how small the boat was to me, it is huge to me now.

The huge wooden boat that fell sideways on the beach from the still sea showed a kind of dilapidated vicissitudes. The slightly decayed hull had some tattered holes, barely maintaining its own shape.

The entire deck was turned over to face Yimi and me. The masts erected on it almost all broke off and pierced into the beach. Large and small pieces of broken wood and things I didn’t recognize fell on the beach.

what's going on?

"What's wrong?" Yimi, who put her hand on my shoulder, asked suspiciously of me who was no longer moving forward.

"Here... there is a ship..."

"Boat? Why is there a boat here?" Yimi, who was obviously more confused, frowned slightly, and put a little force on my shoulder, "So, is there anyone?"

"People?" I turned my head and scanned the empty beach, except for the huge shadow of the boat in front of me that was elongated under the setting sun, there was only a sandy beach that shone with light.

"Didn't see...nor feel..."

At least there is no other life within the range of my vision..." Unless I am hiding, otherwise, I can basically see it.

"No one? Did you leave..." Yimi gently pinched her chin with the other hand, talked to herself for a while, and then asked me again: "So are there any footprints in the surrounding sand?"

"Footprints?" If you want to say footprints... a lot.

This beach is full of intricate footprints, but if I remember correctly, these should all be stepped on by us before.

"Yes, there are...but it seems that all of them are our footprints..."

Yimi hesitated for a moment, then asked softly: "...is this ship... broken?"

"Broken." Even I can tell that this ship is really broken. Even under the shroud of the setting sun, I can't feel any warmth at all, only the pervasive darkness.

"...It couldn't have just floated here, right?" Yimi twitched the corners of her lips, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"I always feel that Xiao Gu got it here..." I always feel that every time Yimi asks Xiao Gu to go out to get things, Xiao Gu can bring back something that I can't understand.

"Xiao Gu... By the way, Xiao Gu!" After repeating Xiao Gu's name lightly, Yimi shouted louder.

However, this time was different from usual.

Little Goo didn't show up.

Only the calm sea surface reflects the golden and orange light in the setting sun, without churning waves, not even a trace of waves.

"Little Gu...?" Only the quiet sea breeze swept away Yimi's heart mixed with a trace of anxiety.

"I also...don't know...Little Goo!" I also tried to shout, but there was no response either.

"Yimi, wait for me a moment." I tried to take a step and ran out, avoiding the broken boat, and came to the beach.Although he is barely used to this body now and won't run and wrestle, but now is not the time to care about such things.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho. (Xiao Gu Xiao Gu Xiao Gu)"

I tried to call out her name to the sea, but there was no response either, only the darkening water under the glow of the fading sunset.

"Ugh!" I turned around quickly after hearing the voice of Yimi behind me, and found that Yimi, who was trying to drive this way, kicked the sawdust scattered on the beach by the overturned broken ship, bent down and squatted slowly on the ground.

"Yimi? Are you okay?" I hurried back to Yimi and squatted down to check her condition, but I almost fell down on the beach.

"It's okay...fortunately, there are some shoes in the way..." Yimi gritted her teeth lightly, and rubbed her toes with her hands.

I took a look, Yimi seems to be wearing the kind of shoes that don't have much protection, only a simple strap tied on the instep, and the exposed small toe seems to be a little red from the impact, but it's not bleed.

With my hand, I knocked away the fast board that Yimi kicked, and by the way, I checked whether there was anything else blocking the way.

"How's it going..." Yimi let go of her hand, raised her hand and asked, "Did you see Xiao Gu?"

"No……"

Goo is nowhere to be found.

Although she never promised us that she must hear our voice and come here, but it still feels like...

"Little Gu, is she okay..." Yimi asked with some concern.

"It should be fine... Xiao Gu is a Leviathan after all..." After all, she is the most powerful monster in the sea, and there are not many monsters in this world that can make her "have trouble".

"Hmm... that's right..." After thinking about it, Yimi's frowning brows eased slightly, "After all, she won't be there all the time... Maybe she just didn't hear it."

"What now?"

"Hmm..." Yimi groaned for a while, and then replied softly, "Although I'm still a little worried about Xiaogu...but Xiao Hei, do you think there is a broken boat here?"

"Yes."

"Although I didn't see anyone outside...is there someone inside?" Yimi pressed my shoulder and stood up slowly, and I also stood up with her, "After all, the last time I danced the spoon, I just said Did the boat capsize when she was approaching here..."

"So... do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Yeah." Yimi nodded, "If there's someone... Maybe there's help."

I looked at the huge shadow in front of my eyes, the shadow that was as tattered as the hull of the ship hit the sandy beach, if I looked at it from the outside, I really couldn't see anything.

"Then Yimi, hold me steady..." I led Yimi around the debris on the ground while kicking away some relatively large objects and entered the shadows.

"Yimi, how do we get in?"

"Xiao Hei, check to see if there is a bigger hole on the boat, let's get in through the hole."

"The hole...let me see...there is it." I found a relatively large hole from where the boat was dumped towards us, and then took Yimi and walked there.

"Yimi, hold on to me." I spread my wings and jumped lightly, leading Yimi into the cabin through the rather big hole.Although I can't explain clearly, I can also feel that the smell here is different from the smell outside. The originally dim sunlight penetrated through the holes on the ship, but it can't illuminate the environment inside. We can only know that Located in a position similar to a channel.

"The smell of the sea is so strong...the temperature is also a bit low..." Yimi pinched her nose lightly, tapped our feet with her toes, and shook her head, "How do you feel about the situation of this ship?" Worse than I imagined..."

"It seems... I can't see clearly..." Even I can't see the environment here very clearly, I can barely know that there are some strange things hanging on the walls.

"I can't see clearly... um... If only the little goblin was here..."

"What now?"

"For now... let's go deeper... After all, they're all in here..." Yimi hugged my arm tightly while talking, "Xiao Hei, you have to walk a little slower..."

"Yeah." I nodded and started walking forward.

Not only was the light in the boat dim, but even the sound seemed to be cut off. Only the very clear "creaking" sound of the wooden boards under our feet echoed in this aisle.

Of course, Yimi's breathing sound was even more obvious than usual.

"Here... um..." Yimi had just opened her mouth when a clear voice echoed around her, so she had to lower her voice, "Okay~an~quiet~ah, Xiao Hei, you can say something... "

"Hmm... what do you say?" I don't know if it's because the light is getting darker, but my voice is also clearer.

"You can say whatever you want... Forget it, Xiao Hei, have you seen anyone..."

"No... Even if someone is really there, I might not see it..."

"Is it dark in here?"

"Ah."

"Maybe I'm used to it... I always feel like... I'm not so scared!"

The moment Yimi's voice just fell, I seemed to feel that Yimi exerted a force downward, followed by the sound of something breaking and Yimi's scream.

"What's wrong! Something's stuck my foot, little black, help me!"

"Yimi hold on to me!" I hurriedly leaned over and put my head close to Yimi's feet to confirm.

Appears to have stepped into a hole...the foot got stuck...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Yimi seemed to be in a state of confusion and kept shaking my body, and I gently chopped the wooden board at Yimi's feet with my fingers, expanding the size of the card. Catch the hole in Yimi's foot, and then use my body to move sideways, dragging Yimi who is holding me up.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Yimi hugged me tightly and shook my body vigorously, "Xiao Hei, let's go back..."

"Ok."

From the moment we came in, the floor seemed to be slanting upwards, and we seem to have taken a relatively high position now.But now I can't see anything clearly, I don't know how many things I don't know what they are that I accidentally kicked and smashed.

The moment we turned around.

With a "crash", the wooden board under his feet seemed to have collapsed.

"Ah!" I hurriedly threw off the single wing, and it hit the wooden board in the dark. I hurriedly stabilized my body, but in a panic, Yimi who was hanging in the air seemed to be unable to hold my arms It is slowly sliding down.

"Little little little black!"

"no problem."

Because I couldn't use my hands to support Yimi, I simply adjusted my figure in the dark while falling, and it seemed that I hit a lot of things.

In the end, there was a crisp "crash", and Yimi and I seemed to have successfully landed on a wooden board that we don't know where.

But obviously Yimi and I didn't stand still, and rolled into a ball in the dark. I barely folded my wings to protect Yimi in my arms, and rolled several times before stopping. Finally, it seemed that I was facing upwards, and Yimi was completely It's on top of me.

"It hurts..." Yimi said as she stood up slowly with her hands supporting my body, but her hands directly pressed against my chest.

"Huh?" In the darkness, Yimi pinched the protrusion of my chest with her hands, always feeling an indescribable feeling flowing in her body, just like... when Yimi helped me take a bath.

"Ah!" Yimi yelled and rolled to the side, and seemed to have bumped into something, "It hurts, hurts..."

"Yimi? Are you okay..." I shook my head, trying to grasp the surrounding environment, while slowly getting up and approaching Yimi.

"It's okay! I'm okay!" Yimi's voice was a little sharp and nervous for some reason, "Xiao Hei, how about you?"

"Me? I'm fine..." It's better to say that it's impossible for me to be fine...

"That's good... haha... where are we?" Yimi asked this question after chuckling a few times. In the dark, she could see her gently patted her body, and then slowly got up .

"I don't know either..." I raised my head, only to vaguely see a big hole above, the sun seemed to have sunk, so no sunlight penetrated into the interior of the ship, and it fell into complete darkness.

"There is water here... It seems that the sea water has poured in from the hole. It seems that we have fallen to the junction between the boat and the sea!" As a result, Yimi screamed again before he finished speaking, and I jumped to the ground in a hurry. Beside her...but because of the darkness, he didn't control the distance well, and collided with Yimi again.

"Yimi?" I hurriedly got up from Yimi to confirm her condition.

"Forget it, there seems to be someone over there, I touched it with my hand when I got up just now!" As a result, Yimi just waved his hands quickly and instructed me to look in that direction.

Indeed, if you look carefully, it seems that you can barely grasp the surrounding environment.

This is a relatively large space in the cabin. There is a hole in the bottom, and the seawater pours in from it. Perhaps because of the height problem, the seawater has disappeared at our height and continues to spread upwards.

If you look carefully, you can indeed see that there is a person lying there, with his lower body soaked in the water, and his upper body lying on the wooden board we are on.

I rushed to that person's side in a hurry, and Yimi also ignored the surrounding darkness and walked over steadily step by step.

By the way...for Yimi, isn't it always dark..."It's...fortunately I came in..." Yimi hurriedly stretched out her hand, but retracted after touching it, "What is wrong with this person?" Why is it so slippery..."

"Is it sea water?"

"How could the sea water be so sticky and slippery... Ah, forget it, anyway, I'm used to touching Xiaogu!" Yimi finally made up her mind, grabbed the person's body with both hands, and pulled the person away stand up.

"Ah...Fortunately, this person is not sinking...I can hold him steady..." Yimi in the darkness was adjusting his posture so that the person's arms were hanging on his shoulders, "The key is how we get out..."

"Huh? Oh, this is simple."

"Simple?" Although it was dark around, I could still see the doubt on her face.

With my back to the sea, I spread my wings and rushed forward.

"kuang!" Yimi, who was still in the boat, was completely stunned.

"It's very simple..."

Whether it's wood or stone...just tear it down, I'm the best at this kind of thing.
