"If you had been a little late, my life would have been decided there."
At this time, Wang Kaixuan ran over with Zhang Ling on his back.
"how is it going?
Are you okay?"
Wang Shengli raised his fist and struck.
"You kid, you still know how to come back! When you were in danger just now, you left the rest of us and ran away. Have you become more capable?
You didn’t even call me…”
Wang Kaixuan coughed a few times: "Well... I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to think too much. Didn't I find my big brother to save us?"
"Tell me, what on earth is that thing?"
Peng Hai touched his chin.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a running plant."
Zhang Xiaotong's voice rang out: "I remember there is a plant called tumbleweed. At a certain time, it will curl up and let the wind blow it. When it reaches a suitable environment, it will take root again and remove the tumbleweed.
As he spoke, he touched the ground with his fingers.
"Its roots are constantly moving underground. It has eyes and a mouth. But fortunately, this thing has no teeth and there is mucus in its body. It should be a scavenger."
After saying this, he raised his head.
"The principle should be similar to that of Nepenthes."
After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, this is much more cruel than Nepenthes."
Li Yi couldn't help laughing.
"It turns out that this is what I encountered that day, and I thought it was a ghost."
Zhang Xiaotong walked towards it, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and opened the monster's belly. A pool of fishy and smelly mucus fell out along with a few undigested bones.
"The plants and animals on this island seem to be much larger than normal, and they all have certain genetic mutations."
"Gene mutation?"
"Yes, I think this thing must have something in common with plants like pitcher plants. It's just larger than normal plants and it can also move. I remember the kind Su Yuanyuan encountered after accidentally breaking into the misty forest.
Mushrooms?
That one is much, much bigger than the normal mushrooms of the same variety.”
This seems to make sense, but I don’t know what exactly happened on this island?
Why are the plants and animals on the island different from those found elsewhere?
Genetic mutation or infection?
No one knows about all this, and there is no way to verify it. The only one who witnesses all this is the land under your feet, but it is a pity that it cannot speak.
Zhang Long looked at the monster and reflexively thought of the notebook he picked up at the bottom of the sea. He felt more and more that this island was mysterious. He must find out what was going on when he had the chance.
"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, let's go back quickly."
Bai Wenwen said while looking into the depths of the mist.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time."
After he finished speaking, the ground trembled without warning.
Several people staggered and almost fell.
"what happened?"
"earthquake?"
"No, it's not an earthquake. Look at that!"
Zhang Ling screamed, her face turned pale, and she pointed deep into the mist.
Everyone turned around to look, and saw many humanoid monsters walking towards them in the mist, very slowly, but in huge numbers.
"No! They are chasing me, run away!"
Zhang Long shouted and led everyone to run forward.
Everyone has seen the power of this monster, and no one dares to slow down their movements.
They ran as hard as they could in fear. Zhang Long drew his Tang sword and walked to the back of the group, shouting loudly that they all ran towards the front and must not get separated.
Everyone was frightened and knew how powerful it was, so they supported each other and ran forward as hard as they could.
The group of people always kept a safe distance from the plants, but no one dared to stay.
It wasn't until the mist in front of him became lighter and lighter, until it disappeared, that the rumbling sound coming from behind stopped.
Standing in the sun, Zhang Long held his knees with his hands and gasped for air.
Peng Hai simply fell down in the snowdrift, looked up at the sky and breathed in the fresh air greedily.
Several other people also followed Peng Hai's example and fell to the ground gasping for air.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Long looked back at the misty forest, and everyone smiled in unison.
Only humans can master the gift of laughter. What reason do they have for not laughing for the rest of their lives?
On the way back, Zhang Long kept thinking about a question.
What happened on this island?
There are too many doubts about this island.
The weird plants in the forest, the words composed of dots and lines that I saw before, the mysterious buildings underground, and the pit with thousands of skeletons found outside the Mandrill tribe.
All of this is shrouded in a mysterious veil, which makes people unable to understand at all, but also makes people feel scared.
Yes, Zhang Long was scared.
He was afraid of many things.
I am afraid that the dormant volcano deep in the misty forest will suddenly erupt again, I am afraid that the animals in the forest will suddenly run to where they live, and I am even more afraid that other unknown and terrifying creatures will appear after this, threatening everyone's life.
life.
These things are beyond his control.
All he can do is try to prevent people from entering the misty forest, and continue to accumulate supplies necessary for life, so that everyone can survive this cold winter.
Apart from him, everyone else also had their own thoughts.
Zhang Ling was wondering whether she would become a disabled person and whether she could still stand up with her legs.
Wang Shengli felt that the desert island in front of him was definitely not as simple as he imagined. It was too mysterious and terrifying. He must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise more terrifying things would happen.
Bai Wenwen was thinking about how unreliable Li Yi was, a person who suddenly jumped out in the middle of the road. Although we had fought together this time, he was a very powerful person, almost as capable as Zhang Long.
Will he threaten Zhang Long in the future, and will other troubles arise?
Only Xiaoya could only think about the soup that He Youyou had stewed.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, they were all talking and laughing along the way. Zhang Long talked a lot with Li Yi and found that this person sometimes had a bit of a brain, but everything else was pretty good.
As I walked, I returned to the camp before I knew it.
Before they could enter, the people on the observation deck noticed them and immediately opened the door.
