Chapter 129: Skeleton Man
"Run!" Looking at a flock of birds under the black pressure behind him, Zhao Qi shouted anxiously.
Originally, there was only a group of strange birds running on the ground, and Zhao Qi could still deal with it with the steel balls in his hand, but if he added a group of bone birds behind him who didn't know the number and flew in the sky, it would be troublesome. These bone birds flying in the sky were petite and extremely numerous, even if Zhao Qi had beaten all the nearly a thousand steel balls in his sleeve, he might not be able to repel them.
"God, when is the head?" David in front looked at the flock of birds behind him, and after a miserable cry, he quickened his pace.
"Hurry up, there's a cave in front of us, let's go hide for a while." Lily, who was running, vaguely saw a swarthy hole in front of her and said quickly.
As soon as everyone heard Lily's words, they immediately discovered the cave, and without thinking much about it, everyone immediately entered the cave.
The cave looks pretty good, at least there are no small caves like the insect mountain around the cave, so you shouldn't have to worry about the danger of being attacked in your abdomen for the time being.
Zhao Qi, who walked at the end, shot a few steel balls, and completely flew away from a few bone birds that were already approaching in the air, and after a quick glance in the cave, he immediately found that there was a gate made of iron near the door of the cave, looking at the shape and size of the gate, it seemed that it was placed at the entrance of the cave, but because of the long time, it fell off.
didn't have time to think about why there was an iron door here, Zhao Qi hooked his right foot, and the iron door instantly tumbled into the air, and Zhao Qi grabbed the iron door with both hands and blocked the entrance of the cave.
"Bang bang" A dense sound came from outside ......the cave entrance. Countless bony birds slammed into the iron door like a suicidal attack.
The strength of a single bone bird may not be strong, but the force of thousands of bone birds hitting it together is a bit exaggerated.
Zhao Qi only felt that the iron gate supported by his hands seemed to be blocked by a huge force of ten thousand catties, and this force seemed to be as continuous as a tide, always acting on the iron gate, so that Zhao Qi had no room to breathe.
Zhao Qi's left foot pressed forward against the iron door, while his right foot stomped heavily on the ground behind him. Deeply immersed in the soil, he finally withstood the huge force of this thousand catties.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and help. Quake shouted, and everyone reacted and helped Zhao Qi to resist the iron door.
The force gradually diminished, and the chirping outside gradually decreased.
After everyone continued to resist for a while, they slowly relaxed, but their bodies still did not dare to relax at all.
"They're not coming back, are they?" David said with some surprise.
"Not for now." Zhao Qi lifted the eye of heaven and looked through the iron gate, the outside was already empty at this time, and the strange birds running on the ground and flying in the sky had disappeared, but I didn't know if they had returned to the forest or were hiding nearby. And the iron gate after experiencing the attack of the flock of birds has long been in tatters.
Everyone didn't dare to relax at this time. Panting heavily, they sat down slowly against the iron door, so that even if these strange birds made of bones attacked them again, everyone would not be unresponsive.
"Professor Bonnie, what do you mean by 'dodo'?" Zhao Qi asked with his back against the iron door, just now Professor Bonnie glanced back at the strange bird behind him in the process of escaping, and said "Dodo" and was stunned, which Zhao Qi remembers very clearly.
"The flock of birds just now should be a kind of bird, called the dodo. It's just that this bird is extinct, so I'm weird. Professor Bonnie explained.
"Dodo? Is it the national bird of Mauritius? Professor Charles was also surprised.
"I didn't expect this bird to survive on this island." Professor Duncan also sighed.
"Professor Duncan, they're not living birds, they're dead birds." David retorted after listening to Professor Duncan's words.
"Professor Bonnie. What kind of species is this dodo, and it seems that this bird is very rare. Quake on the side asked.
"The name of this bird is the dodo, and it is from the 16th century. The Portuguese took the name which means 'nerd'. It is a flightless bird found only on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Within 82 years of its discovery, the bird was completely extinct due to human hunting and human activities. It is arguably one of the most famous extinct animals after dinosaurs, and the only extinct bird in Mauritius to be designated as the national bird. ”
"In modern times, only the Natural History Museum of Oxford University in England once exhibited the last complete specimen of the dodo, but unfortunately it was burned in 1755 by order of the curator due to decay. A skull and a foot bone that were saved by luck. It is the only specimen in the world, although there is only one skull and foot bone. But I didn't expect to meet so many here. Bonnie paused as she said this, there were indeed a lot of dodo skeletons here, but it was clear that they were alive.
"This bird is very researchable, if ...... If I could, I'd like to be able to get one of them, or some of its bones. The professor said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Professor Bonnie, if you come across another bird like this, I'll catch one for you." After listening to Professor Bonnie's words, Zhao Qi nodded and said affirmatively.
……
After a short break, the crowd began to pay attention to the cave.
There is no exit to this cave except for the gate through which the people entered. Thanks to the flashlights that everyone carried, they didn't put it down, so they couldn't see anything.
The cave contains a number of rotten sacks containing things that have long been invisible, and apart from them, the whole cave is slightly dry, and despite the humidity of the island, it gives a very comfortable feeling here.
"What are you doing here?" David asked suspiciously, poking at the sack.
"Look at the structure of this cave, it should be a warehouse for storing things." Professor Charles said, looking left and right.
"By the way, didn't Gary's grandfather say that this was once a pirate's lair? Maybe this is where the pirates put their treasures, and maybe the 'Ring of Life and Death' is here. David said on a whim.
"No way, this cave is very dry, and the location is very conspicuous, it is unlikely to be a place to store treasure, but it is quite possible to store food." Lily walked back and forth and said, as she spoke, Lily seemed to have found something, and let out a strange "huh".
"What's wrong, Lily?" David asked.
"Nothing, it's just that there's a door here." Lily tried to push what looked like a door in front of her. Unexpectedly, under Lily's casual push, the small door collapsed in an instant, raising a layer of dust.
"Everyone, come and see, here's ...... Ah......h
Hearing Lily's scream, Zhao Qi instantly appeared beside Lily.
Out of the small door that Lily had pushed open, a human skeleton was standing in front of it, and what was even more bizarre was that the skeleton was holding a rusty scimitar and slashing at Lily.
When Zhao Qi saw this situation, he hurriedly protected Lily behind him, and his right foot instantly attacked, hitting the skeleton's wrist, and the rusty scimitar was instantly kicked away.
"What's going on?" Quake also ran over at this time, and with a flash of the flashlight, everyone saw the skeleton in an instant.
Zhao Qi flipped his right hand, and a steel ball shot out, hitting the skull's skull.
The skull's skull burst open in an instant, scattering into countless pieces. After losing the skull, the skeleton also collapsed limply, and its whole body fell apart in an instant, falling to the ground.
"Is this the way to the inside of the pirate's lair?" Professor Charles looked at the skeleton on the ground and said strangely.
Maybe I've seen a creature composed of bones on Skull Island, but this time I saw this skeleton man, except for Lily, who was frightened for a while, everyone else basically showed an indifferent expression.
"Yes, the place we are staying in should be the pirates' food pantry, and this door is where they use to get their food." Professor Bonnie analyzed.
"Well, I said you two should have enough hugs, right?" David said with an unhappy face. After listening to David's words, Lily blushed and dodged away from Zhao Qi's arms.
Zhao Qi walked in from the small door and glanced around carefully.
"Professor Bonnie is right, there's some stoves and stuff like that, and it's supposed to be a pirate's kitchen."
"So we're already in the pirate's lair now?" David asked.
"That's what it means." Zhao Qi nodded.
"Then let's hurry up and get in, the ring of life and death must be in here. And there must be a lot of treasure in it. David urged.
"What do you think, Professor Charles?" Zhao Qi looked at Professor Charles, who was contemplative.
"Qi, since this is the pirate's lair, there must be a lot of skeletons like the one just now, can you destroy them?" Professor Charles asked.
"It shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't come out too much at once, I think I can settle it." Zhao Qi nodded and said.
"Well, everyone must pay attention to one point, don't make a loud noise after entering, let alone take anything inside, our purpose this time is the 'life and death ring', once we get it, we will leave immediately." Professor Charles said solemnly.
After everyone was ready, Zhao Qi took the lead and walked into the depths of the cave step by step. (To be continued......)
