Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Giant Forest
After hearing that Captain Enge was going to take a few people to the island to look for food, Zhao Qi's brows furrowed.
Zhao Qi has a lot of food in his sleeve, and it is basically not a big problem for more than 20 people to eat it for a month, but many of them are purchased by Zhao Qi in his hometown when he left China, for example, Zhao Qi's favorite Qianzhang fried dough sticks are enough to have hundreds of them. But to distribute these foods to others, Zhao Qi was a little unhappy, not stingy with food, but stingy with the food of his hometown. If you eat all the things you brought from your hometown in this month, how can you add such an authentic taste of your hometown?
Will it be possible to go back again? No kidding, if someone asks, how do you come back in less than a month? The stuff outside wasn't tasty, so come back and restock some food......
But then again, if you let them into the heart of the island, there's no guarantee that nothing will happen. After thinking about it, Zhao Qisi finally reluctantly refused to give up his thousand rolls of fritters, and nodded in agreement with Captain Enge's suggestion, because even if the food was enough, fresh water was far from enough.
"Captain Enge, the situation on this island is very strange, for the sake of safety, it is better to leave some men on the shore, after all, no one knows what will happen." Zhao Qi's words made Captain Enge nod, in fact, he also knew this, but there were too few people among these twenty people who could go out to find food, and if there were only three or four, they wouldn't be able to catch anything, after all, they didn't usually touch a gun.
"Well, what Mr. Qi said is very reasonable, so let's do it, York and Mr. Smith, you two and Mr. Qi go to find food together, and the rest of the people will stay on the cruise ship with me." As he spoke, Enge handed the pistol to Mr. Smith.
"Captain Enge, and me. I'm going too! A half-grown young man with a somewhat youthful appearance raised his hand and said to Engel.
"This ...... Okay, but you must follow Mr. Qi's arrangement, and you can't act privately, you know? Mr. Enge agreed that the young man would go out hunting with Zhao Qi, and at the same time gave a few stern instructions.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi, my name is Harun, and I look forward to walking with you." Little Harlan looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and after seeing Captain Enge agree to his request, he said excitedly to Zhao Qi.
"Hello." Zhao Qi also nodded.
"Alright then, I hope you all the best." Captain Eng said.
"Yes. Captain Engel, if anything happens to your side, shoot yourself in the air, and we'll get back as soon as possible. After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he led a few people towards the depths of the jungle.
……
The management of firearms in foreign countries is not very strict, and many citizens have gun licenses, so there are also some guns in cruise ships. The three people who followed Zhao Qi were the first mate York, Mr. Smith, and Harlan, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Among them, Mr. Smith was a black man, very burly, but somewhat sullen and did not like to speak. In his hand was a revolver handed to him by Captain Enge. On the other side, York was holding a shotgun that looked very powerful. As for the last little Harlan in his hand, he held a delicate little crossbow arrow.
"Mr. Qi, what is your weapon?" Little Harlan looked very excited along the way and asked Zhao Qi.
"I don't need weapons." Zhao Qi replied.
"Ah, do you know Chinese kung fu? I heard Captain Enge say that you saved our lives. You must be Chinese kung fu, right? ”
"I guess it's a little bit better."
"You're amazing!" Little Harun looked at Zhao Qi with envy.
"Did you know? My favorite book is Robinson Crusoe, and I've always dreamed that one day I'd be able to have such an experience, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”
Little Harlan kept babbling, and you could see it. He was really excited.
"Little Harlan, be quiet, we're not here to play. Don't bother Mr. Qi anymore. York, with a shotgun in hand, interrupted Harlan Jr. After all, the inhuman scene that Zhao Qi showed that day was watched by York, and it was best to be careful before figuring out Zhao Qi's temper.
"Oh." Little Harlan stuck out his tongue and finally fell silent.
……
Entering the jungle, Zhao Qi's heart was faintly uneasy, and he found that the energy he had noticed before was much stronger in the jungle than on the beach. And the trees in the forest seem to be much bigger than on the beach......
"Is this or not Earth?" Looking at the moment in front of him, Mr. Smith, who had been a little silent, said.
"yes, I've never seen a palm tree this big, is this forest a tropical rainforest?" Little Harlan also said suspiciously, and then added another sentence. "Even in the rainforest, there shouldn't be any trees that tall."
Because the tropical rainforest has not been cut down, and there are few natural disasters, all the trees are generally about 30 meters high, but these trees in front of him, Zhao Qi visually surveyed, basically they are about fifty or sixty meters, and the Wangtian trees in Xishuangbanna have a fight.
"It shouldn't be, there's no way this kind of tree can grow that tall." York stepped forward to take a closer look, shook his head and said.
"Don't worry about that for now, everyone should be careful now, maybe there will be some beasts in there, and of course, you should also be careful with your own feet, don't be bitten by poisonous snakes and centipedes. In this situation, if you are poisoned, there is no medicine for you to eat. Zhao Qi said and released the basketball from the Spirit Beast Garden, now the situation is unknown, and he is relatively fragile, it is better to find a helper.
The three of them had all seen the fierce basketball, but they were also shocked when they saw Zhao Qi's move, and the basketball appeared on its own.
"Mr. Qi, ...... you" Little Harlan opened his mouth and was about to ask when he was interrupted by York.
"Little Harlan, being so much nonsense, pay attention to the surroundings!"
"Oh." Little Harlan looked at the basketball with an unwilling face and buried the doubts in his heart.
The ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and when you step on it, you can clearly hear the sound of bubbles coming from the pressure of the mud under your feet. All kinds of cries came from the depths of the jungle, and everyone's hearts were sweating.
As he was walking, the basketball, which had always been in the lead, roared violently.
"Basketball, what's wrong?"
Hearing Zhao Qi's question, the basketball did not answer, and stepped out with an arrow step, slamming forward at a speed comparable to that of a cheetah. Zhao Qi was worried that something would happen to the basketball, so he quickly followed, and the flying sword Moyu flew out from the top of Zhao Qi's head and lay in front of Zhao Qi.
After this move, there was a stir in the bushes in front of everyone, and a wild deer sprang out of it, panicking and heading off into the distance. Unfortunately, the basketball was faster than it, and a tiger pounced on the wild deer and bit it on the neck.
After so many years of growth, basketball has long been out of the limit of ordinary beasts, and after a bite, the neck of the wild deer was bitten off in an instant, and the deer's head was completely separated from the body.
The three people behind Zhao Qi didn't react until this time, and hurriedly ran to Zhao Qi's side, looking at the wild deer that suddenly ran out.
"This ...... Is this a deer? The wild deer in the different places spewed out a large amount of blood, completely staining the fallen leaves under him, but this bloody scene did not make the people behind him feel disgusting, because the wild deer was too big.
The height of the wild deer is generally about one meter, and the larger one may be about one meter two, but if the deer head in front of him is not far away, everyone will think that this is an adult horse.
"What the hell is this place? First a huge tree, then a wild deer like a horse, have we become smaller or have we come to the kingdom of giants? Little Harlan looked at the dead deer in front of him and said to everyone.
"Everyone, be careful, this island is strange everywhere, and the things inside seem to be much bigger than what you usually see in it, so be careful." York said to everyone with a solemn face.
……
York was about to tie up the wild deer with the rope he had brought when Zhao Qi interrupted its movements.
"No need, York." Zhao Qi took his right hand towards the wild deer and put it into his sleeve. Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes flickered again, but no one asked Zhao Qi what the reason was. And Zhao Qi saw that no one asked him, so he was also happy, patted the basketball head affectionately, and continued to walk forward.
……
"Mr. Qi, you should be a hunting dog by your side, right? I don't know what breed it is. "The basketball performance just now is really eye-catching, not to mention the fast speed, the exaggerated bite force and sharp teeth are already very scary.
"Yes, Mr. Qi. I've seen a Caucasian dog, but it's a lot worse than yours. Harlan Jr. looked at the basketball with some trepidation and said.
"This is our Tibetan mastiff in China, and basketball is the king of Tibetan mastiffs, the snow mastiff." Zhao Qi proudly touched the big head of the basketball and explained to everyone.
"Tibetan mastiff, I know, is called a Chinese sacred dog, I really didn't expect it to be a Tibetan mastiff, it's really amazing." Mr. Smith is also a dog lover, looking at basketball with envy. However, it is normal for him not to recognize the basketball, after all, although the basketball is not very large at this time, it has also broken away from the standard of the Tibetan mastiff, and he thought it was a large lion from a distance.
While talking, the basketball in front of Zhao Qi collapsed again, and he roared in a low tone...... (To be continued......)
