Chapter 127: The Black Forest

"Move the mountain, together." Zhao Qi looked at the stone in front of him, put his hands together, and moved the mountain suddenly.

Under the effect of Zhao Qi's legal decision, the entire stone was crushed by a pair of big hands like tofu.

Countless insects were crushed into several pieces by the action of the stones.

"What's going on?" Everyone listened to the sound coming from behind, looked back, and was immediately stunned. I saw that the entire stone mountain collapsed in an instant as if it had been earthquaked.

"Could it be that this mountain has been hollowed out by those bugs and collapsed casually?" David looked at everything in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"What are you doing? Come on. Seeing that the people in front of him stopped, Zhao Qi hurriedly urged, although the blow just now caused many insects to die in it, but because there are too many small holes in this mountain, many small insects are crawling out of various cracks.

"Oh God." Looking at the dense insects behind him, David didn't dare to say anything more, and ran forward vigorously.

The speed of the insects is not very fast, but in addition to the small insects crawling on the ground, there are many insects flying in the air, some of these insects are insects like beetles, and some are winged like cockroaches and praying mantises.

Zhao Qi walked at the back of the team, and his hands kept popping out steel balls.

The power of the steel ball carrying the aura is no less than that of a bullet, and under Zhao Qi's heavenly eye, every steel ball hits the target accurately, and none of them miss the net.

In this way, although the number of these insects is huge, there are not many who can keep up with the footsteps of everyone, plus Zhao Qi's steel balls, there is no big problem for a while.

"Okay, they shouldn't be chasing anymore, let's take a break." After running for nearly ten minutes or so, Zhao Qi saw that there were no insects in the rear and then chased after him, and then said to the front.

"Poof...... Puff......" Professor Charles gasped and stopped after hearing Zhao Qi's words. He sat down with the stone next to him.

After running for ten minutes with all his might, even a young man like David couldn't stand it, let alone an old man like Professor Charles, at this time, except for Quake, whose condition was slightly better, the rest of the people were more or less dizzy, among them, the three professors and the fat man Fu Zhongkuan.

"Qi, you...... Don't you know that you're tired? David looked at Zhao Qi, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating, and asked.

"Well, I've learned Chinese kung fu, can you compare with me?" It seems that Chinese kung fu is indeed a good disguise, as soon as I listen to Zhao Qi's words. David immediately stopped thinking about it.

"I used to think that Chinese kung fu was useless, but now it seems that at least it is much stronger to escape, when will you teach me." David sat on the ground and said.

"Forget it, Chinese kung fu starts from elementary school, and you're too late now." Zhao Qi said without raising his head.

"Forget it then."

After David's interjection, everyone's mood was slightly better, but the next question was on the table, how should I spend tonight?

"I think it's better to just take a break around here." Lily said.

"The humidity on this island is very heavy, so if you rest on the ground. We young people are okay, but Professor Charles is not, and if we catch a cold, we will be in trouble. As soon as Lily finished speaking, Quake objected.

"Shall we go find another cave, then?" David on the side said.

"If you want to be eaten by bugs, find another one." Lily said angrily. As soon as he heard the bug, David immediately stopped talking, and it seemed that he was indeed frightened by the bug.

"As Lily said, let's find a place around here to take a break. There are not a few hours left until dawn, so endure it and pass. Besides, our old fellows are not as unbearable as you think, and this bit of suffering is still bearable. After Professor Charles spoke. Everyone could only agree to this proposal.

Zhao Qi found a sandy place with fewer stones, and after thinking about it, he took out a few extremely thick blankets from his sleeves and spread them on the ground.

"Huh? Qi, where did you get the blanket from? David looked at the blankets on the ground and asked suspiciously.

"Inside the backpack." Zhao Qi turned around as he spoke, and everyone saw that all the backpacks in their hands had been thrown into the cave, and only Zhao Qi was still carrying one.

"No, didn't you have a backpack before?" David scratched his head, a little confused.

"You read it wrong, Zhao Qi has always carried a bag." Lily on the side stepped forward and took off Zhao Qi's backpack. Among the people present, maybe only Lily knew what was going on with these blankets, so she helped Zhao Qi and said.

"I still have some food and fresh water here, but there are eight of us in total, so for the time being, it is only enough for us to eat for one day tomorrow, and if we can't find the 'life and death ring' tomorrow, we can only go back to the yacht first and plan for the long term." Zhao Qi took out some compressed food and fresh water from his bag and said.

"That's great, I was worried about what to do without food tomorrow morning." After listening to Zhao Qi's words, Professor Charles was overjoyed.

"But Qi, your backpack can really fit it." Quake walked over and said with a smile.

……

Naturally, a blanket can't be compared to a sleeping bag, but it's better to have a layer of cushion than to lie directly on the floor.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Qi didn't take out a lot of blankets, which could only make a few professors barely squeeze together, and as for the others, they could only rely on the stones to rest a little, but fortunately, the night was not very long, and after a few hours, the sky was already starting to brighten.

Zhao Qi, who had not slept all night, was in good spirits at this time, and stood up and looked at the foggy weather.

This Skull Island has many similarities with the mysterious island in the Atlantic Ocean before Zhao Qi, for example, the sky on the island has always been gloomy and foggy, and there are some strange "things" on the island.

"Morning, ouch my waist." David also got up at this time, and he had been leaning on the stone last night and was hammering his waist at this time.

"David, you have to exercise well, you can't stand this bit of suffering." Zhao Qi looked at David who was twisting in a weird posture and said with a smile.

"Qi is right, if you don't exercise well, if there are bugs rushing over next time, it is estimated that you will be the slowest runner." Quake said with a smile.

"How could I be the slowest runner, yesterday I was the first to run." David said unconvinced.

"You're afraid of death." Lily also stood up from the ground and said unceremoniously.

……

"Alright, let's go now." Charles clapped his hands and said to everyone.

On the second day on Skull Island, everyone got up and ate some food from Zhao Qi's "backpack", and then set a goal for today's day.

There is nothing else in the day today, only one point, and that is to find the artifact "Life and Death Ring". Once the "Ring of Life and Death" is found, everyone will leave this ghost place immediately, and if they still don't find the situation at two or three o'clock in the afternoon today, everyone will also return to the shore immediately, after all, Skull Island at night is too terrifying.

Along the unchanging black earth, the crowd once again headed towards the interior of the island.

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally found a different place, that is, a forest with black trees.

"Forest? Isn't there no life on this island? Why are there trees here? Lily asked suspiciously, looking at the trees growing in front of her.

"Everything on this island is black, even the trees." Quake said from the side.

"Everyone pay attention, I always feel that something is wrong with this tree." Professor Charles looked at the branches fluttering in the wind in front of him, and said with a solemn expression.

Maybe when they first entered Skull Island, everyone wouldn't have expressed any doubts about these trees, but in the examination room group that had already experienced a night, even David, who had the most nerves, knew that there must be something wrong with this black tree.

"So what do we do now? This shrub is so big, and maybe the 'Ring of Life and Death' is in it. Quake said.

"Quake has a point, after all, this forest is probably the only one on the island." Zhao Qi said approvingly. From this forest, Zhao Qi could feel a very thick death qi escaping from it, and the "Life and Death Ring" was very likely to be in it.

"No, everything on this island is weird, and there may be something terrible in this forest, it's too dangerous." Professor Charles also apparently knew that this was most likely the location of the "Ring of Life and Death". But he had to think about the lives of the members of the examination team.

"Otherwise, let's go find another place first, and if there isn't an island at all, we'll go back here and venture in." Professor Duncan proposed.

"Professor Duncan's proposal is very good, we can go and see the other places first." With the exception of Lily, everyone agreed with Professor Duncan's proposal.

"Professor Charles, or else. I'm the fastest in this, let me go in and see what's in this forest, and if anything, I'm sure I'll be able to escape. In this forest, Zhao Qi felt a huge breath of death, although he didn't know if it was a "life and death ring", but Zhao Qi still wanted to take a look.

"Qi, this is too dangerous." Professor Charles listened to Zhao Qi's words and said with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, Professor, even if I can't get in, I'll be fine." Zhao Qi smiled faintly and said indifferently.

"That'...... Well, you must pay attention to it, if there is anything wrong, come out and know it? Professor Charles admonished.

"Don't worry." Zhao Qi smiled back and approached the edge of the forest. (To be continued......)
