Chapter 678: The Strange Ruins (5)
Translator: 549690339
Xu Bai didn’t know how much time had passed, but when the progress bar in front of him reached one-tenth, he suddenly raised his head and put the Spirit Summoning Technique into his pocket.
Something was wrong, something was not right at all!
Although his awareness of time had become faint after coming to this place, he could use the progress bar as a reference.
After so long, why was it not daytime yet?
Through the window, one could see the mottled light and shadow. It was the traces left by the moonlight. It was still late at night.
Xu Bai frowned and walked to the window. He opened it a crack and looked into the backyard.
Outside the window, in the big pit in the backyard, the surface of the water was glistening. Under the moonlight, the shadows of fish were swaying inside.
Through the gap, the mouth could clearly see a spherical figure walking around in the backyard.
At the intersection of each waterhole, there were crisscrossing paths.
The trevally was walking on these paths without holding anything in its hands.
Seeing this, Xu Bai was puzzled.”lt’s really evil to not sleep in the middle of the night and walk around the courtyard.”
He indeed felt that it was strange, especially now.
Under the moonlight, the trevally’s eyes carried a trace of inexplicable emotion, and cold sweat oozed out of its forehead.
Xu Bai looked at the moon in the sky. When he entered the house before, the moon was still in that position. Now, it was also in that position, as if it had not changed.
In other words, after he entered this mountain, time seemed to have stopped when night fell.
There was no day, it was always night.
“The ruins should be a reappearance of a certain period of time. It seems that it will be fixed at that time.”Xu Bai pondered.
It was really too strange. From the beginning of the man-eating old Taoist priest to the ball-like fat man in front of him, there was an inexplicable strangeness.
Especially now, when night still existed and day had yet to arrive. A new layer of shackles was added to the fog.
The trevally walked a few steps and finally came to the furthest waterhole. It slowly squatted down.
With his body size, it was very difficult for him to squat. All the fat on his body was shaking.
The fat on his abdomen was especially thick. The wrinkles hung down and covered his entire leg, making him look like a ball without legs.
His legs were covered by the folds of his fat. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was suddenly two inches shorter, it would be hard to tell if he was standing or squatting.
The scad looked at the puddle in front of it, especially the live fish in it. It suddenly reached out and grabbed one of them.
Then, like a savage, he put the fish into his mouth.
That mouth was especially big. After the fish was stuffed in, the fish jumped inside, and its cheeks puffed up.
The trevally acted as if nothing had happened. Its teeth moved up and down, making a hair-raising creaking sound that was especially obvious in the dark night.
Blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin into the water and spreading on the surface.
He didn’t even spit out the fish’s internal organs and bones. As his throat rolled, a big lump appeared and he swallowed it in one gulp.
“Eat it raw?” Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
It was another strange guy. The people inside seemed to have gone crazy.
In the yard, after eating a live fish, the scad rubbed its stomach and revealed a satisfied expression.
His words echoed in the courtyard.
“Sigh, one snack a day. If you eat too much, you won’t be able to keep up with the speed of production. When you don’t have food to eat, you’ll have to find someone to fight.”
“Speaking of which, the number of graves in the mountains is getting lesser and lesser. I’m almost full. How can I afford to raise this spiritual fish when the time comes?”
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s not think about this anymore. Let’s feed enough for today!”
Although her voice was very small, Xu Bai heard her clearly.
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
Spiritual fish?
It seemed that the fish in here were not ordinary. This fatty actually treasured them so much that he only ate one every day.
Moreover, if he did not hear wrongly, this fatty had said that he was almost full and that the number of graves on the mountain was decreasing.
Could it be that this fatty went out every day to look for a graveyard and then look for food there?
What they ate was self-evident.
The spiritual fish might be good for Fatty, but he had to eat the things in the graveyard.
Most importantly, he said that if they couldn’t find food, they wouldn’t be able to feed these spiritual fish.
How could he feed them?
Xu Bai didn’t think too much about it and continued to watch. Because the trevally had just said that it would be fed today, he was very curious about what the feed was.
After saying this, the trevally stood up with some difficulty, and the fat on its body shook again.
The folds formed by the fat piled up layer by layer.
After the trevally stood up, it reached out and dug through its collar, pulling out a dagger with great difficulty.
Upon closer inspection, it was not a dagger made of any metal, but a curved rib bone. The edge of the rib bone had been polished very sharp, reflecting a pale white under the moonlight.
“Phew… He was so afraid of pain, but he had to eat the spiritual fish.”The trevally let out a long sigh. Then, he grabbed one side of his fat and lifted the rib in his hand.
Pfft…
The sound of tearing rang out, and blood splattered everywhere..
