"Hey! Where did this bare-bottomed baby come from? "
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded behind him. Ding Ning was so scared that he shivered all over and turned his head to look. Damn, how could there be someone on the deserted island? Did he see a ghost in broad daylight?
Two people emerged from the bushes a dozen meters behind him. They looked to be in their thirties or forties and wore coarse robes. Their hair was messy and their skin was an unhealthy pale color. It was obvious that they had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
They were always shrouded in a faint layer of Yin Qi, which made Ding Ning feel familiar, but he could not remember where he had met them. The one who spoke was a man in his forties with yellow hair.
"Yes, it's strange. This is Ghost Island. How could there be a baby here?"
The other man, who looked slightly younger and had a mole on his chin, looked around in confusion. "Could it be that some fishermen came to this island?"
"Impossible. If someone came to the island, it's impossible for the bone owl not to notice. What's more, this baby is bare-bottomed and doesn't feel cold at all. Don't you think it's very abnormal?"
The yellow-haired man was more meticulous. He had been staring at Ding Ning, who was in a daze, and said flatly.
The man with the mole looked at Ding Ning in realization and then frowned. "Then how did this baby get on the island? Could it be that he flew here? "
The yellow-haired man pulled the man with the mole and took a step back vigilantly. He whispered, "Something's wrong. This baby is strange. Be careful."
"Da Kui, you are too timid. This baby is so young. Maybe he can't even understand what we're talking about. What's there to be afraid of?"
The man with the mole sneered disapprovingly. Yes, they were not speaking Mandarin, but the dialect of their hometown. He did not believe that Ding Ning could understand them.
Unfortunately, Ding Ning had the superpower of language proficiency. Even if he had never come into contact with their dialect, he could understand them.
This also made Ding Ning immediately understand the origin of these two people. They had the same accent as Zhai Ying, who died in Yan Jing. They were from the Corpse-chasing Sect.
Ding Ning immediately became vigilant. How could the people from the Corpse-chasing Sect appear here? He immediately rolled his eyes with a dull look in his eyes. He grinned and giggled, and his saliva flowed out.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. This is Ghost Island!"
The man called Da Kui said with an ugly expression after being ridiculed by his companions.
The mole man shuddered and seemed to recall the terrible legend of the Ghost Island. He looked at Ding Ning with some fear, only to find that he was just a silly kid, a very silly kid. No wonder he even knew about the cold.
He immediately felt relieved and patted his pounding chest. With a relieved smile, he said, "See? This kid is a retard. The adults in his family probably thought he was stupid and threw him to this island to fend for himself!"
"We haven't seen anyone on the island since we arrived yesterday. Why is this kid here?"
Da Kui was still a little doubtful and said worriedly.
"Look at how dirty he is. He should have come to the island earlier than we did. Besides, it was night time when we came. This island is not big, but it is not small either. After all, the bone owl only searched around the island. Maybe this silly kid is hiding in some forest to avoid the cold. It is normal that we did not find him."
The mole man relied on his imagination to give a barely acceptable explanation.
"But …"
Da Kui still felt a little strange. He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the mole man who rolled his eyes impatiently. "Da Kui, he's just a silly child. What's there to worry about? Not to mention that he's a fool, even if he's a normal child, what do you think such a young child would understand? What trouble can he bring us? "
"That's true!"
Da Kui also felt that he was a little too cautious and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Then he said with some irritation, "Wooden Fish, what do you think we should do now? This time, we can't leave any traces behind. Although this silly child might not know anything, it's better to be safe than sorry. We can't just leave him alone! "
"Why don't we kill him!"
A vicious look flashed in Wooden Fish's eyes. "Anyway, he can't live on this island for more than a few days. We can help him get out of trouble!"
Ding Ning's heart was filled with murderous intent. How could this bastard Wooden Fish kill such a young kid? Damn it!
"Forget it. Such a young kid. I'm afraid he will have nightmares at night if I kill him!"
Da Kui could not bear it and shook his head to reject Wooden Fish's proposal!
Ding Ning felt a little warm in his heart. Da Kui seemed to have some humanity. With his kindness, Ding Ning could spare his life later.
But Da Kui's next words made him furious. If he did not want to figure out the purpose of the Corpse-driven Sect coming here, he would have killed him immediately.
"Although this kid is silly, he can survive on this deserted island by instinct and is not afraid of the cold. This shows that his physical quality is very good. I plan to take him back to the sect and refine him into a Child Corpse Puppet!"
Da Kui looked at Ding Ning greedily as if he was looking at a stunning beauty.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Ah, although this kid is silly, his physical quality is much stronger than ordinary people. He is definitely a good material to refine a Child Corpse Puppet. No, Da Kui, give this silly kid to me!"
Wooden Fish suddenly patted his head and said excitedly.
"Wooden Fish, you are too much. I saw him first. How can you take him from me?"
Da Kui said with a bad look.
"Does anyone who saw him have a share? We found this kid together. Why should he belong to you? "
Wooden Fish said with some displeasure.
"Although we found him together, I was the one who thought of refining him into a Child Corpse Puppet. Of course, he belongs to me. Now that I have said it, you want to take him from me. You are too immoral."
Da Kui frowned and said angrily.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Mokugu knew that he was really angry. However, he was not willing to give up just like that. He rolled his eyes and threatened, "Fine, fine, fine. I won't fight with you, but you can't let me get nothing. Don't forget that we are not the only ones on this island. The elders may not care about the good material of the child corpse puppet, but do you think Dog Ba and the others won't fight with you for it?"
"Humph! What do you want? Say it. "
Da Kui knew that Wooden Fish had always been a person who was not willing to be at a disadvantage. His expression changed for a long time before he spoke.
He knew that Wooden Fish was blackmailing him, but he was also worried that Dog Puzi, who had never been on good terms with him, would really fight with him. If Wooden Fish did not help him, he might really be robbed. So he could only pinch his nose and let Wooden Fish state his conditions.
"I want half a kilogram of corpse oil that seeps out of your green-haired corpse puppet!"
Wooden Fish had been drooling over Da Kui's green-haired corpse oil for a long time, so he said without hesitation.
"Impossible! The green-haired corpse puppet seeps less than half a kilogram of corpse oil. You want half a kilogram at once? Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Seeing that Wooden Fish was asking for an exorbitant price, Da Kui immediately became anxious and shouted with a red face and neck.
"Why are you so anxious? Then tell me how much you can give me!"
Wooden Fish was well versed in the art of negotiation. He knew very well that Da Kui would not give him half a kilogram of corpse oil, so he asked step by step.
As the saying went, ask for a sky-high price and pay on the spot. First, he asked for a high price, then it would be easier to negotiate. If he could get one kilogram of corpse oil, he would be satisfied!
"One kilogram, no more!"
"No, at least four kilograms!"
"Don't go too far. One kilogram at most. This is my limit!"
"Think about it, this is the best material for child corpse puppets. Puzi has always been at odds with you, and his uncle is an Elder. If he really wants to fight with you, do you think he can win without me?"
Wooden Fish was overjoyed, but he still tried to persuade Da Kui. No one would complain about having too many good things, and the more he could get, the better.
Da Kui's expression changed. After thinking for a long time, he said with a pained expression, "Two kilograms, two kilograms at most. You have to promise to help me and not let Puzi take away my material!"
"Okay, deal!"
Mu Yu agreed without hesitation. His eyes were full of smiles. If it wasn't for the fact that his father was also an elder, giving him the confidence to fight against Buttface, he wouldn't have had the chance to obtain this high-quality corpse oil.
Da Kui was the most talented in refining corpse puppets among the younger generation of the Corpse-chasing Sect. Puzi and Wooden Fish were still refining the lowest grade of white zombies, but Da Kui could already refine red zombies. In particular, some time ago, he was so lucky that he accidentally found a green zombie in an ancient tomb.
This green zombie was different from the corpse puppets they refined. It was naturally formed, so the corpse oil that oozed out of the green zombie was extremely precious. It could greatly increase the success rate of refining corpse puppets, and it also had some other magical effects, which made everyone drool.
As Ding Ning listened to the bargaining between the two, he felt nauseous. Damn, as soon as he heard the word 'corpse oil', he felt sick and flustered. He did not have a good impression of the Corpse-chasing Sect at all.
The people of Shenzhou all believed in returning to their roots. After death, the soul could be reincarnated as a human. However, the Corpse-chasing Sect threw out people's corpses and refined them into zombies as battle puppets, so that the souls of the dead could not rest in peace. It was too immoral.
After the two reached an agreement, Da Kui happily went forward and picked up Ding Ning. He showed his yellow teeth and said with a hypocritical expression, "Little boy, are you hungry? Come and have some sweets with me, okay?"
Ding Ning almost fainted from the stench exhaled from his mouth. He held his breath and pretended to be crazy, drooling and smiling foolishly.
Da Kui's eyes lit up. He touched Ding Ning's body as if he was inspecting goods, and the joy in his eyes became more intense. "I didn't make a mistake. These bones and small muscles are definitely the best corpse puppet materials!"
Ding Ning had goosebumps all over his body. If he did not know that Da Kui was inspecting "materials", he would have thought that this guy was an old man.
"F * ck, when I find out why you are hiding here, I will teach you a good lesson!"
Da Kui carried Ding Ning and Mu Yu to a temporarily dug cave and met up with his companions. Including the two of them, the Corpse-chasing Sect had a total of six people on the island.
Among the six people, there were two gloomy old men. From the way they were addressed, they were the two Elders of the Corpse-chasing Sect. The other two were called Ba Gouzi and Ah Qi!
The relationship between the Corpse-chasing Sect seemed to be very subtle. One of the two Elders was Ba Gouzi's uncle, and the other was Mu Yu's father. On the surface, they seemed to be harmonious, but in fact, they were not. These six people were actually divided into two camps.
Ding Ning also saw the so-called bone owls. They were corpse puppets made from the corpses of two unknown birds. They could fly but had no fighting power, so they were used as scouts by the Corpse-chasing Sect.
"Da Kui, where did this kid come from?"
Ba Gouzi had not noticed Ding Ning's peculiarity, but Ba Gouzi's uncle, Elder Ba, asked casually with a flash of greed in his eyes.
"He's a silly boy. His family probably thought he was stupid, so they left him on this island …"
