It has been five months since we came to this island. During this time, the only person I have found to have a certain degree of wisdom is the mandrill.
Fortunately, the mandrills were friends with them and would not attack them.
But after living for such a long time, they learned that there were other social creatures besides mandrills in this misty forest, which made everyone's hair stand on end.
It would be fine if those things stayed peacefully in the misty forest and everyone would be safe, but if these things suddenly escaped, a war would be inevitable.
Not to mention anything else.
Mandrills are strong, agile, strong, and possess a certain amount of wisdom.
Such an animal could be so seriously injured and captured by someone, which shows how powerful those things are...
Zhang Long didn't dare to think about it carefully.
"Everyone spread out and search every room to see if there are any clues."
After saying that, he pulled Bai Wenwen towards the back room.
In the house, everything you can touch with your hands are scratches, but these marks are not deep, and they even seem to have some kind of pattern...
Bai Wenwen laughed.
"I didn't expect these mandrills to do interior decoration."
Zhang Long couldn't help laughing.
It's true if you look closely.
In addition to the scratches on the wall, there are also some strange-shaped branches stuck on the wall, and some branches even have mushrooms hanging on them.
The most conspicuous thing is the animal skull on the bed. It doesn't seem to have been processed very well, it's a little yellowed, and there are even dried meat left on it that can't be pulled off even if it's stuck to it.
"Tsk, it seems this mandrill doesn't have very good taste."
Seeing that there was a window next to the bed, Zhang Long walked over and took a look.
Unexpectedly, there was a small balcony under the window, with some dead ferns growing on it. Looking to the side was another room. Wang Shengli's hairless head just stuck out, and he saw Zhang Long grinning with yellow teeth exposed.
"Hey, don't tell me, this room is not bad, but the decoration taste is a bit bad."
Zhang Long: "..."
"well?
Brother, look quickly, what is this?"
Upon hearing the new discovery, Zhang Long and Bai Wenwen hurried to their room.
Because there is a big tree outside the window, this room is somewhat backlit, and the interior decoration is similar to that of the next room.
Wang Kaixuan was holding a wooden board and looking at it.
At first glance, the wooden board seems to be nothing, but if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be a piece of paper with something drawn on it.
It's just that the light is not very good so I can't see clearly what it is.
"Come and see."
Zhang Xiaotong squeezed in from behind the door.
Take this board to the window.
Several other people followed and gathered around.
There are indeed some strange lines on the wooden board, which look a bit like some kind of tentacles, but I don't know if it is because the room is too humid, causing mold on it, or if it is too old and there is some mold on it.
But the strange thing is that the wooden board looks quite new, not like an old object.
"Hiss, this..."
Zhang Long chuckled.
"This is a kind of painting. You brush paper or bamboo pulp onto the wooden board, and then press the ferns or flowers hard to destroy their cell walls. The cytoplasm with chloroplasts will remain on it to form traces. This thing is only used in some particularly primitive
It only appears in different places, you don’t know it’s normal.”
As he spoke, he took the wooden board from Zhang Xiaotong's hand and leaned against the window.
"Let's see, what is the scientific name of this... Anyway, it's the one we often see that is curled before it grows. Look at this one again. Although the color has faded, the shape is...
Like a flower."
"Oh, it's true! I didn't expect these mandrills to be quite smart. I just don't know where they got these papers."
"Um?
Come on, let me take a look."
Several people gathered around to observe.
While I admired the mandrills for being smart, I also wondered about the aesthetics of these guys.
Zhang Long was the only one standing at the window with a solemn expression, not knowing what he was looking at.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Wenwen asked softly: "Even if something unexpected happens to these mandrills, we can find it ourselves. It's okay, don't worry."
"I'm not worried about this, look at it, wife."
As he spoke, he pulled Bai Wenwen against the window.
"If I remember correctly, the window we saw in the next room was next to the wall, not far away at all. The window in our current room is also against the wall, but why are the two windows so far apart?
distance?"
"It's true! Why is there an extra piece?"
Bai Wenwen looked out the window in surprise.
"Is there any secret door here?"
In one sentence, everyone became interested.
Originally, this tribe established in the misty forest was covered with a mysterious veil, and with a secret door, it seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
"I'll go take a look in the next room."
After Zhang Xiaotong finished speaking, he ran in the direction where Zhang Long and Bai Wenwen came from.
After a while, he poked his head out of the window over there, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Really! I'm looking for any mechanism here."
Zhang Long also got busy here.
Wang Kaixuan imitated what he saw on TV and randomly hit a wooden stick on the wall. After banging it randomly, he held his chin in a serious manner.
"Hey, that's not right. It sounds to me like everything inside is solid. How could there be an extra section?"
Bai Wenwen couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but said nothing.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Ling who laughed so hard that her branches trembled wildly.
"These are walls made of mud and wooden boards. It's strange that you can hear the sound."
These words made Wang Kaixuan's face turn red and white with embarrassment, and he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
"Well, brother, what do you think?"
Zhang Long looked at the wall in front of him solemnly. He didn't say anything, he just looked at it quietly.
Bai Wenwen took out an oil lamp from her bag, and with the reflection of the mirror, the room instantly became brighter.
Zhang Long's eyes lit up, he pulled out the fish-bone knife from his waist and pierced it into the wall. Then, the fish-bone knife slowly broke through the wall.
This process is not long because the outer layer of soil is very thin.
When Zhang Xiaotong came over, Zhang Long had already drawn a door shape on the wall.
A notch was made on the edge of the door, just enough for someone to grab it and open it.
After putting away the fish bone knife, Zhang Long grabbed the gap and pulled it out hard. Veins popped up on his arms, and debris continued to fall from the wall. With a dull sound, the door was completely opened.
Zhang Long patted the dust on his body and immediately took the oil lamp handed over by Bai Wenwen and shined a light inside.
There is not much space inside, only about two meters dug down, and then there is another room.
