On the vast expanse of sea, a giant ocean-going ship sailed at a speed of twenty knots per hour, leaving a long white mark on the sea, dividing the current and breaking the waves, riding on the wind.
After more than ten days of sailing, the giant ship finally crossed the Strait of Malacca from the Pacific Ocean and successfully sailed into the Indian Ocean. According to the position of navigation instruments and stars, they were almost approaching Sumatra.
, and the legendary Skull Island is to the west of Sumatra, and the distance is getting closer.
On the vast ocean, the weather is changeable and moody. There may be cloudless sunny days, but of course there will also be thunderstorms, raging storms, and huge waves, one after another. But we have to say the performance and craftsmanship of this giant ship.
It is so powerful that even when traveling through extremely rough waves, you will not feel any turbulence or bumps, just like walking on flat ground, the whole process is very smooth and smooth.
In the early morning of that day, when Li Xiao was still hugging the beauty in his arms and still in a gentle place, he suddenly heard noisy and urgent sounds coming from the deck, and there was a hint of excitement in the crew's shouts.
The keen senses made Li Xiao tense up even in his sleep. Hearing the strange noise, his eyes suddenly opened, and he was not sleepy. After a slight hesitation, he quickly put on his clothes and pushed away.
The door of the cabin was rushing towards the bow deck with the wind blowing under my feet.
"What on earth happened?" Maria rubbed her sleepy eyes, faintly woke up, and looked at Li Xiao who flew out of the cabin, still a little confused.
…
…
It was early in the morning, the most humid time of the day. The fog was lingering above the sea, thick and deep, and the air was freezing. There seemed to be a lot of hazy cotton wool floating in the air around, covering up the silver moon and the moon in the sky.
The starlight blocks people's sight, and the visibility is very low. Only the navigation lights and mast lights on the ship can vaguely reflect a ray of light, revealing the direction of travel.
Under the heavy fog, the black captain Genos personally sat in the cockpit, adjusted the slow speed, and steered the ship forward.
When Li Xiao came to the deck, a lot of people had gathered here. Including sailors, first mates, Carl, Immorton and others had already arrived. Looking at them, they all looked nervous and excited.
"Clang."
"Crash."
The waves were rough and the wind was raging.
Navigating in the turbulent undercurrent, even this ocean-going ship began to sway violently. Karl almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. The others also looked for support around them, or hugged the mast, or
He was holding on to the bulkhead, struggling to maintain his balance amidst the violent shaking.
Only Li Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and his legs as if they were stuck on the deck, unaffected by the bumps. There was a strange color in his deep eyes as he stared straight ahead.
…
…
"It's now thirty-five lengths in place, and it's almost the end!"
On the port side of the ship, the experienced former watchman threw the detection rope into the sea, roughly scanned the scale, and loudly reported to Captain Janos.
If it is located deep in the ocean, the detection line cannot reach the bottom. In the end, it means that the detection line has been lifted from the land contact surface, and they have arrived at the offshore!
"Turn the rudder fifteen degrees to the left, lower the speed to the lowest, and be ready to dock at any time!" Genos warned solemnly, while keeping his hands on the steering wheel.
According to estimates, the island is likely to be right ahead. When the tide is following the current, the speed of the water flow must also be calculated. The underwater reefs are complicated. If the docking is not careful, there may even be a risk of capsizing and stranding, so Geno
Si didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and was very cautious.
The crew and sailors on the ocean-going ship were all mobilized. Under the command of the captain and first mate, the reefing of the sails and the mooring of the mooring lines were all carried out in an orderly manner. Under their command,
With the joint efforts of the two, the speed of the giant ship dropped suddenly, and it sailed forward at an even slower speed.
"Wall, there is a huge wall in front of you!"
On the observation deck, when the young sailor shook the searchlight in his hand and vaguely saw the scene ahead, he couldn't help shouting.
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked around.
With the light that was not too dazzling, I saw that in the deep mist ahead, there was indeed a wall rising more than ten feet high. It was like a giant beast in the sea, towering silently.
It's so unfathomable there.
The rocky walls along the coast are precipitous and steep, and the rushing waves crash against the jagged rocks, breaking into huge waves, which are then thrown down heavily, filling the air with salty, cold water vapor.
The howling wind was like the roaring of a giant beast in the sea, which was very depressing. In this environment of deep mist and turbulent clusters, there was an eerie and gloomy atmosphere. This feeling made people feel depressed.
"Oh my god, why is there such a huge stone wall on the island!" Maria wrapped her nightgown tightly and held on to the ship's railing against the biting cold wind. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help showing surprise.
"This stone wall does not look like it was formed by nature, but it looks like it was built by man! Is there someone on this island?" Immorton also frowned deeply.
Seeing this island, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A huge wall was erected on the island. This was just like the scene in the movie, which means that this island is Skull Island! And this tall wall is the symbol of the island.
It was built and piled up by the indigenous people in order to resist dinosaurs and various mutated and gigantic creatures.
Maria walked to the bow of the ship while holding on to the railing. She put her arms around Li Xiao's waist affectionately, and her delicate body pressed tightly against him. She was leaning against him, so affectionate, as if there was no one else around.
Immorton coughed lightly and turned his head away sensibly.
Li Xiao lowered his head, looked at the beauty nestled in his arms, and couldn't help but scratch her nose.
In the present world, Li Xiao once said this. After traveling on a cruise ship for a month, a couple is likely to get divorced when they return home. However, a man and a woman who are single are likely to be affectionate and affectionate, like glue.
The reason is very simple. The time at sea is too boring. After a long time, the couple will inevitably feel bored and find new love. In the same way, and because of this, single men and women are likely to feel bored because of the time.
Being in love for a long time without looking down or looking up.
Li Xiao and Maria, on the other hand, are somewhere between casual romance and sincere love. They have the urge to meet fire, but they also have mutual attraction and admiration.
"Maria, this island is full of dangers. For the sake of safety, please don't go there." Li Xiao put his arm around Maria and held Maria in his arms. He said so authentically.
"No, Darling, I want to go to the island and have fun. The old Chinese saying you taught me is good, just be at peace once you've come." Maria stood on tiptoes, came forward, and placed her hand on Li Xiao's cheek.
A sweet kiss, beautiful eyes blinking, brilliance flashing, nestling in Li Xiao's arms, whispering softly, Baimei and shy.
After looking at her for a moment, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, acquiescing. Finally, his eyes passed through the mist and landed on Skull Island, with a thoughtful look on his face.
…
…
On one side of the island, the nearby reefs were crisscrossed and arranged irregularly. Captain Genos had to carefully steer the giant ship and circle around the outer edge of the entire island.
As time passed, people finally got a glimpse of the outline of this mysterious island, with its strange features, dangerous peaks, and lofty rocks.
The huge wall was like an iron barrel, enclosing the island, leaving only a few large or small gaps in the rock walls.
The entire island is very large. It took me a full two hours to circle around it. Finally, I found a sheltered shallow bend without so many rocks. I stopped the boat and anchored, and berthed without any risk.
Come down.
Time gradually came to early morning, the sun finally jumped out of the sea level, thousands of golden rays shone down, the thick fog gradually cleared and dissipated, and the cold temperature finally became a little warmer.
"Bring weapons and necessary supplies and land on the island now."
After three days of sunrise and the sea finally calmed down, two small wooden boats were lowered on the giant ship. Except for the two crew members guarding the giant ship, everyone was divided into two groups and took two small boats respectively, carrying ten rifles.
With five carbines, the group finally landed on the island.
There are rows of skulls in the crevices of the mountain walls along the way. The bones are white and extremely creepy, and they are arranged very neatly, as if this island has been cursed by some evil, full of a kind of evil.
Unknown signs.
Everyone carried their weapons on their backs and walked along a lava ditch. Along the way, they could see human corpses and bones piled up like mountains. It seemed that even the cold wind was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"I finally know why this place is called Skull Island." Captain Genos took a breath and walked quickly past the piles of bones. It was unlucky for them as navigators to see dead things at their destination.
It's an unlucky thing, not to mention seeing so many corpses.
Li Xiao glanced at the corpses indifferently. Although his expression was unmoved, he felt a sense of wariness in his heart. After all, this island was full of dangerous creatures, even if an ancient creature jumped out of the grass.
Even the saber-toothed tiger wouldn't be surprised at all.
At the same time, his mental power turned into invisible threads, spreading and swinging around.
After walking across a suspension bridge connecting the canyon, the group finally entered the island from the coastline.
At this time, a huge city wall lay in front of everyone.
It is even bigger than it looked on the sea just now. This city wall was built by manpower from flat rocks. It is more than 40 meters high and stretches vertically and horizontally, just like the city wall on the ancient Roman battlefield.
Magnificent, spectacular, and majestic, people can’t help but be amazed!
Moreover, on the surrounding ground, there were many staggered spears stuck upside down, and there were many marks of polishing with sharp weapons on the rocks. It seemed as if a fierce battle had taken place here.
"This is really a desert island that has not been visited by humans. With such a large area, if it is developed, a lot of resources will definitely be obtained. Mr. Scott will be laughing from ear to ear."
, one of Carson’s expedition members said excitedly.
"Such a spectacular city wall is actually located on a desert island. If it is made public to the world, it will definitely be listed as the ninth wonder of the world. Preston, start shooting now!"
Karl quickly asked his assistant to put down the camera he was carrying on his shoulder, eager to take pictures of these shocking scenes.
This is an island that humans have never set foot on. If its scenes can be put on the screen, it will be enough to shock the world. Many people will definitely crowd the door of the theater! Karl thought in his heart.
"It is indeed a miracle!" Although Immorton was a little disdainful of Karl, he recognized this sentence.
Being able to use manpower to build a city wall on a desert island is a huge project that is no less difficult than the pyramids of ancient Egypt. However, a question immediately emerged in his mind: "Someone built such a wall on a desert island."
What is the purpose of the huge city wall? Is it just to show its magnificence?"
"The purpose of its construction is to resist ferocious beasts." Li Xiao explained.
"If you use this city wall to resist ferocious beasts, how terrifying must they be?" Maria Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and she was very surprised.
"Don't worry, we will see you sooner or later." Li Xiao said lightly.
The others felt a little baffled by Li Xiao's words.
But just as the words fell, across the huge city wall, one could faintly hear the sound of apes and tigers roaring, night owls screaming, and purple clouds flowing on the top of the mountains in the distance.
, the end is weird and mysterious.
"Damn, I can't wait to complete the mission and leave here." Captain Genos couldn't help but shuddered and vomited bitterly.
"Look, what are those?"
At this moment, Puston suddenly raised his hand towards the city wall and pointed, and saw several black spots suddenly appeared on the city wall, ranging from two scattered ones to a dense mass, which looked like
Some black spots.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw many naked island natives with dark skin. However, at this time, they were holding spears or stone knives in their hands. Their faces were extremely ferocious, and they looked very ferocious.
, obviously, they do not welcome intruders like Li Xiao!
"laugh!"
At this moment, a spear suddenly shot out from the side with swift force and penetrated into the chest of an expedition team member. The team member also fell down in response, with blood flowing all the way.
land.
"Oh no!"
Seeing this, Maria covered her heart and screamed in horror!
