Early the next morning, everyone, led by Finnegan, approached the volcanic area.
In fact, as Finnegan himself said, they didn't have much choice.
There are not many places suitable for human life on the entire island. According to the surveys over the past few months, there are only two places on the island: this cave and the seaside.
According to Chen Wu, only these two places have sufficient oxygen content for normal human life.
Speaking of which, there is a cave rich in oxygen on an island with extremely low oxygen content. This is an extremely magical thing.
Apart from this cave, only the seaside has the same concentration of oxygen, which is why the creatures on this island do not easily go near the seaside.
But even the beach is unsafe. Just like the boat Meng Nan and others took when they came, it was swallowed by powerful creatures in the sea.
No one can guarantee that these terrifying creatures in the ocean will not come to the beach to bask in the sun and have some snacks...
Closer to home, after all, the four Finnegans have lived on the island for a long time, so when it comes to survival experience on this island, it is far from what Meng Nan and the others can match.
So under Finnegan's leadership, everyone carefully walked through several large biological gathering places and arrived at a place not far from the swamp area.
"What do you think?" Finnegan looked at Meng Nan, Song Hao and Qi Zhi. He knew that these three people were the captains of the three teams.
"Is it the rocky area or across the swamp area?" Meng Nan frowned slightly: "What is there in the swamp area?"
"I can't tell what they are." Finnegan scratched his head: "They look very weird, they look like sea cucumbers, or the roots of some plants. But they are not big, only about the size of a football, and there are many
The tentacles are very flexible."
"Sea cucumber? Tentacles?" Chen Wu tried hard to recall the types of Cambrian creatures: "Are they very powerful?"
"I don't know, but I have seen Titanocoli shrimps that accidentally strayed into the swamp area being surrounded by them, and fell into the swamp in just a few minutes." Finnegan said: "Maybe it has a strong toxin.
.But the most important thing is that I didn’t see how they attacked.”
"They just surrounded the Titanocoli shrimp, and then it died."
"Are you sure Dr. James and the others passed through this road?" Meng Nan asked.
"Definitely. I was picking up rocks in the rocky area when they left, so they must have walked here." Finnegan said with great certainty.
"Then let's cross the swamp area." Meng Nan thought for a while and said: "If Dr. James and the others died in the swamp area, then if we walk along the area they walked through, we will very likely find clues about them.
."
"And if they didn't die in the swamp, it proves that this road is not a path to death."
"I agree." Song Hao glanced at Gu Wei, who was still in a state of despair, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to go to the rocky area anymore."
"That's right, our weapons can't do anything to the Titanocoli shrimp." Qi Zhi nodded: "I really can't see any way out from there."
Now that everyone had finished their discussion, there was no need to stay any longer. Under Finnegan's leadership, everyone walked directly towards the access road to the swamp area.
Soon, everyone came to the road. Standing at the edge of the swamp, they couldn't see any creatures in the swamp.
The width of the swamp area is not particularly wide, only about two thousand meters.
Finnegan waved his hand, prepared his weapon, and walked in first.
After walking into the swamp area, everyone understood why Finnegan said this was a road. According to the feeling under their feet, there seemed to be a stone bridge under the dark swamp.
The width of the stone bridge is unknown, but it can accommodate two people walking side by side.
Finnegan carefully led the way, followed by Meng Nan and Qi Zhi, while Song Hao and Xia Wenqing were at the back of the team.
Soon, everyone was halfway there without being attacked.
However, everyone was not happy about this, because they could all feel it, as if there were pairs of eyes staring at them in the darkness.
Suddenly, bubbles popped up in the swamp, and then a palm-sized creature floated up from the swamp.
"Cheering Bug!" Chen Wu recognized this creature just by looking at it.
The ovatiovermis cribratus is a very unique creature from the Cambrian period that looks more like ginger root than a sea cucumber.
They are different from ordinary Cambrian creatures in that they do not have a strong carapace or sharp spines to protect themselves. They are soft in body, have more than twenty legs, and have thick tentacles on their upper bodies.
This creature was usually about 4 centimeters long during the Cambrian period, but now it looks about the size of a fist.
However, this was not over yet. As this small cheering bug stood up in the swamp, a larger cheering bug also appeared in the swamp.
They did not expect Meng Nan and others to approach, but kept waving the tentacles on their upper bodies, as if dancing with joy.
Just when Meng Nan and others looked at the cheering bug in front of them in surprise, Hulk suddenly screamed, and when everyone looked, they saw that a piece of skin fell off his face alive.
At this moment, everyone finally discovered something unusual.
Cheer bugs have always been an unsolved mystery in the eyes of scientists. Without the protection of sharp spikes and strong carapace, how did they protect themselves in the Cambrian?
But now this mystery has been solved. It turns out that cheering bugs do not need to protect themselves. Despite their small size, they were one of the top predators in the Cambrian period!
Each of their tentacles will spit out a thin line that is difficult to discern with the naked eye. These thin lines are difficult to detect without careful observation.
Moreover, these thin wires are extremely sharp and strong, and Hulk just slipped on one of them.
"Damn it, get out of here!" Finnegan shouted hurriedly and walked forward quickly.
Because in this short moment of confusion, they were almost surrounded by thin lines.
Meng Nan and the others did not hesitate, following Finnegan's footsteps and moving forward quickly while firing at the cheering bugs with the weapons in their hands.
However, the cheering bug didn't seem to want to let go of the delicious food in his mouth. His feet kept sliding and continued to chase in the direction of Meng Nan and others.
Xia Wenqing, Man Sisi and Shen Xuebing from the same team discovered this, hesitated and spontaneously fell behind the team, blocking the attack of the cheering bug.
Then Xia Wenqing and others retreated while attacking, and unknowingly stepped onto another road.
It turns out that there is not only one road in this swamp area.
Seeing Xia Wenqing and the others separated, Meng Nan and others' expressions changed, and they wanted to rescue them.
But at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the swamp in the distance, as if something huge was approaching quickly.
Meng Nan and others gritted their teeth, made a gesture to Xia Wenqing and others, and then quickly fled from here.
Xia Wenqing and Man Sisi understood what Meng Nan meant, and led Shen Xuebing to attack the cheering insects around them while retreating...
