When Qin Hai and Selina arrived at the scene, the sky was lit up by the blazing fire.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground. There were dead bodies of people as well as countless snake corpses. The scene was b.l.o.o.d.y and tragic, as though it was h.e.l.l on earth. Selina could not help but turn around and vomit after a single glance.
Qin Hai channeled zhen yuan into Selina"s body, his heart feeling extremely heavy. That was because in the largest pile of corpses, he saw many old people and children. Some of the children looked to be only three or four years old, but they all died tragically under the enemy"s guns.
These beasts!
There was a burning rage in Qin Hai"s heart, and he could not help but emit a strong killing intent.
Under Qin Hai"s comforting words, Selina gradually adapted to the tragic scene in front of her. Like Qin Hai, her heart was heavy as she looked at the elders and children who had died miserably.
"Qin, was it all done by that woman?"
"There"s a nine out of ten chance that it"s them. These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds really should be hacked to pieces!" Qin Hai said angrily.
Faced with such a brutal ma.s.sacre, Qin Hai and Selina were no longer in the mood to joke. The two of them searched for survivors among the corpses, hoping to discover a miracle.
However, after searching for more than ten minutes, Qin Hai still hadn"t seen any survivors. All the natives, whether they were old or young, whether they were men or women, had died on the spot. Furthermore, each of them had more than one shot.
The corpses caused Qin Hai"s heart to feel extremely heavy. It was as if a thousand kilogram boulder was pressing down on his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe.
He was a bit upset. If he had taken action earlier to finish off Xue Ji and her subordinates, the aboriginals would not have encountered such an inhumane slaughter.
"Qin, come take a look!"
At this time, Selina suddenly shouted out. Qin Hai quickly ran over and saw Selina picking up an infant from the arms of a young woman who had already died. The baby, five or six months old, was staring curiously at Selina. She didn"t cry or make a fuss, and when she saw Qin Hai coming over, she even smiled at him.
When the mother died, she would be lying on the ground with the child in her arms. The brave mother even lifted up the clothes to let the child eat breast milk in order to keep the child quiet.
The ignorant child did not know that while she was eating her mother"s last milk, her mother, lying on top of her, had lost her life by bravely protecting her with her own body.
When he saw this scene, even though Qin Hai had a strong will, he could not help but feel his nose turn sour and tears streamed down his face.
Ce"Nedra was crying so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She leaned against Qin Hai"s chest with the child in her arms.
The child did not know what had happened. Seeing how Qinhai and Selina were crying, she giggled and reached out her small hand to touch Selina"s cheek.
Her pure eyes and innocent smile immediately captured Serena"s heart. She hugged the child tightly and lovingly kissed her soft cheeks, crying even harder with the silvery laughter of the child. Tears streamed down his face.
Qin Hai"s mood became heavier as he continued to search for survivors.
Finally, he found another seven or eight corpses behind a large tree. The way these people died caught Qin Hai"s attention because they were all crowded together, as if they were using their bodies to protect something.
Qin Hai carefully removed the corpses at the top and was pleasantly surprised to find that an old man was still alive underneath those corpses.
The old man"s hair and beard were almost completely white. He looked very old, and he had been shot in the chest. His breathing was very weak. If he had come any later, the old man definitely would not have been able to last much longer.
Qin Hai quickly took out a moxibustion needle and stabbed it into the old man"s chest, using the Heaven"s Birth Needle technique and true essence to hang the old man"s life. He then took out a medicine that Tiantian had made a few days ago and fed it to the old man.
A few minutes later, the old man"s aura finally stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Hai and Selina looked at each other, overjoyed. Qin Hai was extremely excited. "Old man, what do you think now?"
The old man looked at Ce"Nedra and Qin Hai. When he saw the child in Ce"Nedra"s arms, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"You all … And for the treasure, right? "
To Qin Hai"s surprise, the old man in animal hide spoke in English with a very standard Sydney accent.
"Yes, we did come for the treasure, but we are not in the same group as those people." Qin Hai said.
"I know!" The old man"s answer once again surprised Qin Hai, "Because I felt the aura of a dragon from your body!"
Dragon aura?
Just when Qin Hai was at a loss, the old man continued, "You are Chinese, right?"
"Yes!" Qin Hai looked back at Serena and said, "Old man, my friend is a descendant of the Edward family in Sydney. His family is also the descendant of the famous pirate Blackbeard. "So, in a sense, the treasures on this island belong to the Edward family in Sydney."
The old man looked at Serena and nodded slightly: "You are right. Edward family is indeed the descendant of Blackbeard. The treasures here belong to them."
Qin Hai was stunned for a moment before he said happily, "So, there really are treasures on this island?"
"If there were no treasures, then so many people wouldn"t have died tonight!" The old man began to cough as he spoke, but his condition was still not very good.
Qin Hai continued to push it for a while before he said, "I"m sorry, we were late. Otherwise, we wouldn"t have let this happen."
The old man shook his head, "What should come will come sooner or later. This is all fated." From the day we began to protect the treasure, we were destined to die here. But now there"s an exception. " The old man looked at the child in Serena"s arms. His eyes were kind. "I only have one request. Please take her away from here and let her live in a healthy manner."
"That"s what we should do." Qin Hai and Selina looked at each other. From their eye contact, they immediately understood each other"s intentions. Therefore, Qin Hai quickly gave a very positive answer.
"Thank you. The sea G.o.ddess will bless your happiness!" The old man was very happy that he had received Qin Hai"s promise. He then took the initiative to introduce the situation on the island.
