Chapter 10: The Law of Survival

Everyone was almost trying their best to escape, and Ji Chen felt that he had never run so fast.

In fact, a person will run desperately when he is in danger, but if he runs until he has no strength, he will simply sit down and wait for death. And when a group of people encountered danger, no one dared to fall behind, and everyone ran to death one by one. ran until Ji Chen felt that his lungs were about to explode, Zhang Yue dragged him, and then shouted at the people in front of him, and everyone stopped one after another.

Several people sat on the ground and gasped for breath for a long time, Zhang Yue walked to the side and vomited for a long time, and only after vomiting could he barely speak: "You are all one by one, even girls can run like this." ”

Zhang Lan bent over and gasped and said, "Of course, don't underestimate girls, Li Xue and I are both swimmers." ”

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Then you can also see if others are chasing you, the green snake didn't catch up at all, so you just run with your life." ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he thought about it for a while, and found that it was indeed as Zhang Yue said, the snake didn't even seem to come out of the cave, but he kept running like a fool. Of course, I also saw that other people had been running, so I had to run with my life, and now I think about it, I was really cowardly.

After a desperate escape, several people lost their strength, so they simply sat around and rested in place.

This time, Ji Chen remembered the existence of the lighter, and he picked up some branches and sticks around and made a large fire among several people.

Everyone gathered around the fire in a daze, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Ji Chen looked at the darkness in the distance, it was so mysterious and terrifying, and it could be full of danger and evil in the depths of the darkness. But under Ji Chen's careful observation, he seemed to be indulged in this mystery and horror, and an inexplicable excitement, passion, and even joy appeared in his heart, and even he himself was surprised by this excitement.

Ji Chen calculated the time, it had been almost two days since they broke into this secret island, and in less than two days, they had experienced too many dangers. These dangers are beyond the scope of their cognition, it stands to reason that these dangers are fatal to ordinary people like them, but so far they have nothing to do except for some fright and skin injuries, Ji Chen can't help but have a lot of questions in his heart.

"I don't know if you think, we have been here for almost two days, and we have encountered a lot of unimaginable dangers, but there are no big casualties, I have a lot of questions and discoveries, I think we can communicate. I always feel that this ghost place seems to have its own set of special rules, and if we can understand these rules, it may be of great help to us. Ji Chen said to everyone.

Sun Jian nodded: "Indeed, I also found a lot of doubts. ”

Ji Chen took out a fruit, closed his eyes, took a bite, and then said, "From the beginning of entering the island, I will be the first to come." We first came in through the path next to the stone monument, and when we came out, we found that we were in a huge strange tree, and the tree inside could not only understand us, but also move! But don't you think that since the tree inside can move, and after we have burned it, it has started to fight us, so why doesn't it just kill us, and chooses to trap us and melt us with the slime it produces?"

Zhang Lan said: "Maybe it doesn't think force is enough to kill us?"

Sun Jian scratched his neck: "I, a person of more than one hundred and fifty pounds, was picked up casually by that branch like a chicken, I think it should be very easy if it wants to kill us." ”

Ji Chen smiled bitterly: "After listening to me, in fact, I didn't care about that at the time, my doubts were mainly at the altar." The monster that appeared near the altar was very dangerous, fast, and powerful, and it was very easy to kill us, but the monster didn't choose to kill me directly after knocking me down, but kept throwing me at the altar. When Brother Kun fought with it, its tongue could have bitten directly into Brother Kun's neck, in which case Brother Kun would definitely die, but I found that its tongue suddenly turned to Brother Kun's shoulder when it shot at Brother Kun's neck, and then threw Brother Kun on the altar in the same way. ”

Ji Chen looked at Brother Kun and continued: "The green snake in the cave just now could have attacked me silently, but it didn't. If the big snake that appeared later wanted to kill us, it is estimated that it would not be so easy for us to escape with all of us. So, it doesn't seem like the monsters here are going to hunt us directly. ”

"Three completely different kinds of monsters, the first of which didn't attack us in an active and violent way. The second takes a violent approach but doesn't kill us directly, as if it's limited in some way. The third directly took a dismissive attitude. Sun Jian snapped his fingers and analyzed.

Ji Chen nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”

Zhang Yue took a breath: "Why is this?"

Ji Chen frowned and shook his head and said, "It's not clear for the time being, I can only know that the monsters here don't seem to be willing to take a lethal attack on us without scruples, but I don't know what they are specifically concerned about." ”

Li Xue immediately raised her hand and said, "I! I also have doubts. ”

Everyone looked at Li Xue, Li Xue put down her hand and said: "When I was just running, I found that my body was a lot more flexible, and the speed was much faster, I felt like I had learned the light skills in martial arts novels!"

Hearing Li Xue's words, Ji Chen thought back to the situation just now, because he was frightened, he just ran away, and he didn't pay attention, but now that he thought about it carefully, he did run a lot faster than usual just now, and he encountered many obstacles halfway, and he easily crossed it.

Sun Jian and Zhang Lan immediately said that they also felt this way just now, but because they were running for their lives, they didn't care too much.

Brother Kun, who had been silent next to him, suddenly added: "If I have to say it, I also have some discoveries, when I fought with that humanoid monster near the altar during the day, I felt that my strength and ability to resist blows were significantly enhanced, and my wounds also recovered quickly. As he spoke, Brother Kun ripped the clothes off his shoulders, revealing the wounds after being hit by that monster during the day, and Ji Chen saw where the scars had formed.

After reading the wound to everyone, Brother Kun continued while putting on his coat: "But at night, I obviously felt that my strength had returned to normal levels, and I felt very difficult when pulling the green snake. ”

Ji Chen pondered for a while and said, "What you said may be of the same nature as our eyesight has improved. ”

Zhang Yue interjected, "So we all got some buffs?"

The word Zhang Yue used made Ji Chen feel very appropriate, after several of them came here, their bodies seemed to have gained some gains, and it was precisely because of these gains, coupled with the unknown restrictions on these monsters, that they ordinary people could live safely until now.

Ji Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at Brother Kun's arm: "Then how is your arm now." ”

Brother Kun raised his hand that had just been entangled by the little green snake, and the strangulation marks on it were still clearly visible, and they were faintly purple.

Brother Kun said: "This strangulation mark has not recovered at all, and I still can't use this hand." ”

This made Ji Chen puzzled again, the serious injury on Brother Kun's shoulder that hurt the bones during the day had recovered in just a few hours, but this strangulation had been more than two hours and there was no sign of improvement.

Ji Chen looked at the burns on his hands, they were almost recovered, and he tore off the old skin on it, and it was full of newborn tender meat. It seems that the gain to enhance resilience exists, but sometimes it takes effect and sometimes it doesn't, and its regularity Ji Chen can't fully understand it.

Ji Chen told everyone what he thought, and Zhang Lan said, "Since we can't fully figure it out yet, let's observe and observe." Now let's bring up all the suspicious points. ”

Zhang Yue touched his stomach and said, "I didn't observe as carefully as you, but the creatures here can talk, so I don't know if it's suspicious." ”

Although Zhang Yue has a big personality, he can always mention some key points, the animals here can speak, and no one else even mentions it.

Li Xue said weakly: "I didn't expect animals to be able to speak, and the trees in the entrance can understand human speech, which is terrifying enough." ”

Ji Chen remembered the bridge he saw before entering the island, "When we first arrived on this island, wasn't there a blood-red ancient bridge outside the island, with many heads of various animals carved on it, and all of them had their mouths open as if they were about to speak, I guess there must be a relationship between the two." ”

Sun Jian said: "The creatures here are like monsters in ancient myths and novels, and we have broken into a monster island. ”

Everyone fell silent again, and when they first came in, Ji Chen put forward the idea of volunteering, and now that everyone is trapped here, no one can blame them, so they can only silently bear the nightmare caused by their choice.

After some exchanges, although everyone still couldn't fully understand the rules of survival of this secret island, they also had a general understanding of some information that was beneficial to them. The rest of the secrets can only be further understood by further observation.

Sun Jian and Brother Kun had been keeping vigil when everyone was resting before, so everyone asked him to sleep for a while, and Ji Chen and Zhang Yue came to the vigil.

Ji Chen estimated that there should be more than four hours before daylight, and then he would continue to set off.

After experiencing too many unbelievable things, Ji Chen's nerves were already a little numb, and he and Zhang Yue stared back to back. The two of them did not talk or do anything, but just sat quietly, adding some firewood to the fire from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yue pushed Ji Chen's back and said that he was going to release the water, Ji Chen got up and let him, he walked towards a wood, Ji Chen said: "Don't go too far, just find a closer place and let it go, and come back quickly." ”

Zhang Yue responded impatiently and walked away, and then Ji Chen guarded everyone alone.

Ji Chen stared at the fire alone and couldn't help but be stunned, watching the beating of the flames actually fall into a daze. After a long time, Ji Chen's eyes moved away from the fire, and he suddenly remembered that Zhang Yue hadn't come back yet, and he thought to himself, could it be the tuba?

Thinking like this in his heart, Ji Chen planned to wait and see, but after another ten or so minutes, he still didn't see Zhang Yue come back, and Ji Chen felt that something was wrong. got up and picked up a lit wooden stick, and then walked in the direction that Zhang Yue had just left.
