Chapter 1415: Are Your Legs Injured?
"Sandan, what's wrong with you? Is your leg injured? Why can't you walk fast?" a big man asked as he walked forward, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Yeah, Sandan, what's wrong?" Just then, these people also felt that something was not right, and they walked forward one after another to ask.
Sandan did not answer; he just kept walking forward with difficulty.
"What's wrong with you, Sandan? Say something." A big man walked up and asked.
Sandan suddenly raised his head, revealing a strange smile, and a cold light emerged from his two pupil-less eyes.
Extending his right hand, three black tentacles suddenly burst out from between his fingers and lunged fiercely at the big man in front of him.
Caught off guard, the big man had his chest pierced by these three tentacles; his body stiffened, and he trembled incessantly on the spot...
"Grab your weapons..." the village chief roared hoarsely.
The remaining people scrambled to grab the guns in their hands and aimed them at Sandan.
"Sandan, what are you doing? Let him go!" Ertie shouted.
Sandan did not answer; he turned his head mechanically, his expression grim, and since he had no eyes, his expression was also incomparably hollow, giving people a hair-raising feeling.
With a *pop* sound, his tentacles retracted; he turned his head to look at Ertie, then slowly extended his hand again.
"Fire!" Ertie shouted, and his homemade shotgun made a *click* sound as he fired at him.
*Bang, bang, bang*—the powerful impact of the shotgun knocked his figure back a few steps, but he did not fall down.
His body slowly straightened up, and the expression on his face still had not changed in the slightest.
He took a step and walked forward slowly, and this scene really terrified the few people in front of him.
With those few shots just now, even a cow would have been sent to the afterlife, but now he was actually completely fine, which left everyone incomparably shocked, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Fire! What are you standing there for?" the village chief said angrily.
Seeing Sandan slowly approaching, and seeing that his hollow eyes lacked even a shred of human emotion, the few men gritted their teeth and pulled the triggers in their hands.
*Bang, bang, bang*—the bullets from the homemade shotguns were fired at him, and *thump*... Sandan fell to the ground.
The few men looked at him, trembling; no one dared to go forward, after all, just a moment ago, he had been able to stand up after being hit by several shots.
No one knew what had happened; they only attributed everything to ghosts and gods, believing that because they had trespassed on the island, they had angered the Sea God, and everything before them was the Sea God's punishment.
"Is he dead?" The few people looked at each other, not daring to go forward.
"You go to the front and take a look," the village chief said to a big man beside him, clutching a shotgun tightly in his hand.
That big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and walked forward; although Sandan was now lying on the ground, everything that had just happened to him still left him lingering in fear, and he was currently terrified to the core.
So his pace was very slow; he did not dare to go forward.
"Hurry up, what are you hesitating for?" the village chief barked. "He's already lying on the ground now, what are you afraid of?"
The big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, walked forward quickly, and began to check on Sandan's condition.
Sandan was indeed dead, and dead in a way that left no breath; the few people's bullets had just pierced countless transparent holes through his body.
Their guns were homemade and loaded with iron pellets, which had a large lethal range, so Sandan was now as dead as could be.
The few people's expressions were fearful; even now, they had not recovered from the situation that had just occurred.
One had to know that their guns had immense lethality, but the first few shots fired at Tiedan seemed to have no effect on him, which was somewhat eerie.
And now, it had taken several people firing at once to knock Tiedan to the ground, which left them not knowing what exactly had happened.
"Village chief, what do we do?" The few people gathered together and began to discuss a countermeasure.
And Tiedan's corpse was temporarily covered with a piece of white cloth.
"Don't panic. This place is in the far sea; no one knows what happened, and the police basically won't come to a place like this." The village chief steadied himself; after all, he was a calculating old fox.
So, after the panic, he calmed down and said, "We all have a part in these matters, so everyone knows what to do, right?"
Everyone's complexion was somewhat ugly, and they were also somewhat silent; Sandan was one of their group, and their relationships were all quite good, but what had just happened made them feel stifled.
More importantly, they did not know what had happened to Sandan to cause him to suddenly return and attack the group.
And those things on his body were definitely not things a normal person could have.
"Do you all understand? Give me an answer." Seeing that everyone was silent, the village chief's voice could not help but become stern.
"Understood, village chief. No one will talk about this matter." Everyone nodded.
"As for the two who died, after we go back, we will stick to the same story: say we encountered a storm, and they accidentally fell into the sea," the village chief said, pondering. "Remember, in this matter, we are all in it together, so if one person gets into trouble, we will all be finished, understand?"
"Understood, village chief, but Sandan has an elderly mother at home, and the whole family relies on him alone to go out fishing for a living. After this happened, what will his mother do?" a big man asked.
"Yeah, and there's Shuisheng; he has a wife and children at home. Now that he was killed by Sandan, how are we supposed to explain it when we go back?" another big man also said.
"That will depend on what kind of treasures Chen Yu and the others can find inside," the village chief said after a moment of silence. "If they find treasures, we will divide them and give the biggest shares to Sandan and Shuisheng; that way, it will be doing right by them."
"In the future, no one in the village will be allowed to bully their families. If anyone dares to bully them, we will all stand up for them. That way, their spirits in heaven will also be comforted."
Everyone nodded slightly; as things stood, this was the only way.
"Alright, everyone perk up. Since we are treasure hunting, we must be prepared for casualties and sacrifices." Seeing that everyone's morale was not very high, the village chief said with a surge of spirit, "This place is extremely dangerous, but Chen Yu risked the danger to come here twice, which is enough to prove that the things in this place are worth his risk."
"So we must also hold a positive attitude toward this matter; after all, treasures are not that easy to obtain."
"Village chief, you're right. Everyone, cheer up; there's no turning back now," a big man thought for a moment and said. "When dawn comes, we will dispose of their two corpses and try our best not to let any flaws be seen."
