Chapter 251: Exploring the Ghost Island

It is said that Erdan, who likes to play with snakes, is soundly sleeping, and dead pigs are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. But the six monsters do not dare to take a nap, and the blazing bonfire is like red eyes that have not been extinguished overnight.

In this situation, the seven tomb robbers, who were six plus one, spent a terrifying night of ghost robbers.

When the fairy-orange-like sun in the east slowly rose from the sea, Snake King Erdan, who had been grinding his teeth all night and having a spring dream all night, finally woke up slowly, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his arms.

I was lazy, sneezed, and farted loudly.

Then the guy rubbed his long face like a tile knife a few times like a cat, looked at the six monsters who had been up all night, and said with a crooked mouth: "Everyone, it's early, early"!

"Brother Qi looked at Snake King Erdan and said, "Brother, you are really good at playing with snakes. Let's check the topography of the island together. Jinte's treasure should be hidden on this island."

Snake King Erdan blinked his snake eyes and said, "That's that, that's that."

Then Snake King Erdan was in front, Seventh Brother was behind, the Five Monsters were behind Seventh Brother, and Golden Retriever was behind everyone, and they carefully patrolled the island counterclockwise.

The Seven Tomb Robbers saw that most of the venomous snakes on the island had golden skins, and many were covered with terrifying scales, with sharp triangular heads and sharp eyes, which meant that they were the overlords here.

These venomous snakes feed on cockroaches and centipedes all the year round, and can enjoy the delicacies of birds in the changing seasons, and can even enjoy a feast of birds during the migration season.

The seven monsters lowered their heads and kept checking the specific conditions on the ground, searching for any clues about possible treasures. But the ground was full of rolling venomous snakes, some were playing and playing, and some were "sitting cross-legged and sleeping soundly."

, some are as stiff and motionless as dead snakes, and their state is very similar to off-season hibernation.

Sometimes there are scenes of two snakes competing for a bird on the ground, but usually the one who eats the prey's head first wins.

Sometimes, both sides of such a food fight are unconvinced, so they won't let go. The snake that bites the prey's head will swallow the prey and the venomous snake together, and then spit out the opponent after swallowing it to a length.

This terrifying way of eating made the Snake King Erdan very happy and kept making babbling noises, but it made the six monsters feel frightened and shocked.

The vipers on these ghost islands are very resistant to hunger and eat an astonishing amount of food. When there is fresh water to drink, they can usually go without eating for months or more than a year, and some can go as long as thirty months without eating anything.

, this is much more powerful than the Taoist bigu technique that Brother Qi practiced every month when he was a young Taoist priest.

At that time, Seventh Brother would not eat for a week every month, and he would scream with hunger. He wanted to steal all the food stored by Master Ziyang and eat and drink it.

Some of these greedy and gluttonous venomous snakes are unable to crawl after being full. When disturbed by snake king Erdan, in order to escape, they have to spit out the last animal they swallowed, and then crawl out in a panic.

Walk.

Under the morning light, all they saw were frightening situations. Since ancient times, the fight between snakes and eagles has been a common phenomenon in nature's struggle for survival.

I saw the sea eagle above my head hovering high in the sky, constantly overlooking the ghost island. No matter how disguised the viper was, it could not escape its sharp eyes.

Once these god-like eagles find their prey, they rush down like meteorites, as fast as thunder, and are astonishing to the eye, like gray lightning.

When the snakes on the island sense that the sea eagle is swooping in and attacking, they attack back quickly like projectiles. At this time, the lives of both sides are often hanging by a thread, and life and death depend on the moment of fighting and attack.

The eagle uses its claws like steel hooks and its beak like a sickle to catch and bite the venomous snake. The snake bites the eagle fiercely with its fangs while dodging. The victory or defeat is often unpredictable, but it usually takes a few seconds to decide.

This kind of tragic scene would happen from time to time. The Six Monsters' scalps would explode as they watched, but Snake King Erdan laughed happily, as if he was watching a shadow puppet show or a foreign movie in Beijing.

Brother Qi followed Erdan, looking around and paying great attention to where his feet landed to avoid stepping on the venomous snake again and causing a fatal attack.

This tough, careful and calculating Seventh Brother also noticed that there are about 70 families of plant species on Ghost Island, with a total of more than 200 species. Most of them are shrub-like tree communities, shrub plant communities and herbaceous flora.

kind.

I saw that the surrounding grass and trees were lush and green, and the flowers were blooming and colorful! Moreover, the air was fresh, and the overall colors of the plants were also clear-cut and gorgeous, swaying in the sea breeze. Moreover, there are about a hundred kinds of animals on the island.

Among them, there were thirty or forty kinds of venomous snakes that he didn't recognize. There were probably more than twenty kinds of birds alone. Lemmings, gophers and badgers were also common, and there were many varieties of various insects.

For a long time, this sensational ghost island surrounded by the ocean has been shrouded in a mysterious and terrifying air. At night, it becomes even more ghostly and makes people's hair stand on end.

The tough Seventh Brother followed Snake King Erdan, looking in all directions and identifying everything around him, taking in the island's feng shui and the terrain where treasures might be buried.

Brother Qi, who was extremely courageous but fearful of snakes, saw that these vipers had a strange triangular head, a very thin neck, a terrifying gray-brown color on their back, and a line of intimidating black lines on each side of their body.

There are round brown spots, a pale white belly, and scary black and white spots.

Brother Qi was very worried that these densely packed vipers would launch a fatal attack on him.

However, these terrifying vipers have been preying on various rats on the ground that play cat and mouse games with them, as well as various seabirds in the trees, strange frogs on the ground, and colorful lizards that burrow in and out.

He has little interest.

Today, scientists have analyzed the rock formations and lithofacies of Snake Island and determined that the seafloor subsided during the Mesozoic orogeny 100 million years ago. At this stage, Ghost Island was formed by

The extruded boulders were initially formed in the sea, and volcanoes erupted on this basis, forming what it is now.

Just two years before the seven tomb robbers set foot on this mysterious ghost robber, there was a fire of unknown origin. The soaring flames dyed half of the sky red and burned for two days and two nights. The flowers and plants on the entire ghost island were burned.

All the trees were reduced to ashes, all the venomous snakes were burned to death, and the seabirds fled.

But the damn wildfires can't be burned out. If the spring breeze blows, it will regenerate. In just two years, it will be back to what it was then. Moreover, there has been a long-term phenomenon on Snake Island where snakes eat birds, and birds eat insects.

The food chain that eats flowers, plants and trees and uses bird droppings as fertilizer has become a complete ecosystem with poisonous snakes as the center.
