Chapter 49: Exploring the Island

The boat soon approached the island, and was greeted by a large beach, and there was no sign of human presence on the beach. Taylor disembarked with the swordsman squad and waded ashore, the ship was controlled by its own crew and sailors, but he didn't worry too much.

The crowd stepped onto the soft sand of the beach, led by Taylor, and marched slowly and vigilantly, because of the dense protective forest ahead, no one could observe the situation further inside the island, and there were no traces of footprints on the beach, I don't know if it was washed away by the tide or what.

"Could it be the uninhabited island that Vic is talking about?" Sean couldn't help but think of the sailing experience that Vic had said, and made a preliminary guess about the island in front of him.

Seeing that the protective forest was getting closer and closer, the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, and everyone's vigilance was getting stronger and stronger, and the hands holding the sword were white due to the strength. Taylor gestured with his sword in his hand, signaling the group to pause, and then slowly entered the jungle by himself, disappearing from everyone's view.

After a while, Taylor was seen emerging from the woods again, waving the iron sword in his hand, and signaling the group to move on. Everyone followed Taylor's steps into the jungle, and after entering the jungle, they found that the trees that looked dense on the outside were not dense on the inside, and the light was very sufficient, and the vision was not too restricted.

"My lord, as it stands, there doesn't seem to be any trace of human activity on the island, at least for now, and the other directions are not clear. Taylor whispered the results of his own observations to Sean.

Taylor's guess was similar to Sean's thoughts, and as he continued to identify the island's many items, he found no useful information or precious items for the time being, and everything was perfectly normal. He nodded and said, "Keep on your guard and move forward." ”

As everyone continued to advance, suddenly, a member of the swordsman squad pointed to a tree in front of him with a suppressed exclamation and said, "My lord, I have found that there are blood stains on the trees in front of you." ”

Sean looked down and saw that there was a trail of blood sprinkled on the trees, and when he got closer, there were still a lot of hairs under the trees. He couldn't help asking, "Taylor, is this a trace of artificial hunting of beasts or is it a fight that beasts only see?"

Taylor stepped forward, observed the surrounding traces, looked at the bloodstained tracks of the trees, and finally shook his head and said: "There is no way to tell which situation it is for the time being, but since there are bloodstains, it proves that there must be a battle, everyone strengthen their vigilance, if there is something wrong, pay attention to the reminder, and continue to move forward." ”

Sean didn't get the result he wanted, and although he was a little disappointed, he continued to move forward with the team. The area of the shelterbelt is not large, and everyone quickly crossed the scope of the shelterbelt, and there was no conflict and battle until they walked out of the shelterbelt, and everything was unharmed, as if this island was an uninhabited island.

Walking out of the jungle is a desolate meadow, looking at it, the green meadow makes everyone's guard relaxed, and the tension is slightly relieved, after all, an open vision greatly reduces the probability of accidents.

"It's a pity that it's a battle in a different place, and it's inconvenient to bring horses with you, otherwise in this open flat land, the power of the horse's charge can be fully exerted. Sean thought regretfully.

As the crowd progressed, the terrain slowly changed from flat grass to hills and slopes, but the only thing that remained constant: there was no trace of human activity. Sean's head also floated to the thought again: "Is it really an uninhabited island?"

Taylor motioned for everyone to stop again, and after arranging for a few swordsman squads to patrol the defense, everyone sat down on the hillside and began to munch on the white bread and fish floss in their hands. Sean felt how wise his decision to teach his people to make fish floss was before, or he would have been nibbling on dry white bread now, not like he is now.

"My lord, there really seems to be no sign of human activity on this small island, or it is impossible that no traces of human activity have been found until now, and the island is excessively quiet. Taylor ate the bread in his hand and said to Sean.

"Well, don't be too nervous, everyone, according to the current situation, even if there is an enemy, according to the degree of development of this island, the enemy's strength will not be too high, so everyone can maintain normal vigilance. Sean said as he ate the fish floss in his hand.

Today has exhausted him, it is already evening, the sun is setting, from wading the sea to the current hillside, he has been in a state of mental tension for several hours.

"Taylor, after some further progress, find an open flat area and set up camp to rest, and keep enough energy to continue exploring tomorrow. Sean continued to say to Taylor.

Taylor looked at the sky, thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Lord Lord." ”

After dealing with the rations in their hands, the group continued to grope their way forward until they found a suitable open space before stopping and camping. Sean and Taylor stared at the campfire in front of them, a little distracted. The swordsman squad has been divided into three teams, taking turns patrolling.

"Taylor, according to our itinerary, we have almost crossed the entire island, can we be sure that this island is uninhabited. Sean asked Taylor feebly. It was also the first time he had spent the night in the wilderness of the island, and there was no insect chirping around him, only the sound of the sea breeze, and it was really impossible to let him sleep and rest due to his lack of security.

Taylor hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Judging from the current situation, this is true, but we don't know the shape of the island yet, so we can't be sure for the time being, as you said, Lord Lord, to patrol the border of the island again tomorrow, if there is no other discovery, then it is basically certain that it is an uninhabited island." ”

"Okay, you can arrange this. Sean nodded in reply. The moving speed of Huaxia Island is obviously faster than the speed of this small island, that is to say, the distance between Huaxia Island and this small island will be closer and closer, and it also shows that the level and area of Huaxia Island are larger than that of this small island, if it is really determined that it is an uninhabited island, then the development of the island should be well planned, and the resources of the island should also be fully explored.

Taylor looked at Sean with a tired look on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Lord, you can take a rest, don't worry about patrolling and guarding, there will be no problems." ”

"It's okay, you just arrange for everyone to be on guard. Sean shook his head, it's not that he doesn't want to sleep, he is indeed very tired now, but the first time he spent the night in the wilderness, he really couldn't sleep.

Seeing this, Taylor did not persuade much, and the two looked at the campfire and remained silent.

In the middle of the night, Sean couldn't bear the double exhaustion of body and spirit, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
