Chapter 219
"You're not much better than me, you want to leave Skull Island alone, Xiao Jianping, I can't imagine that you are more insidious and selfish!" Gao Xiang laughed.
Xiao Jianping was even more angry by him, and punched Gao Xiang in the cheek, Gao Xiang did not show weakness, and the two boys scuffled on the beach. The two were evenly matched, and they fought for a while without a win. Gao Xiang couldn't do anything, he saw an opportunity to lift the box and throw it on Xiao Jianping's back, Xiao Jianping was knocked to the ground, turned over and grabbed the black box, and with the strength of both sides, the box snapped open, and poured out a lot of colorful pieces of paper from it. Xiao Jianping was dumbfounded for a moment, the box was full of US dollars, a box full of US dollars!
The two involuntarily stopped fighting.
"You take me with you, and we can share this wealth." Gao Xiang gasped and said.
Xiao Jianping stared at these dollars and hesitated, this is indeed very tempting, and no one can resist the temptation of money. But in the end, he shook his head: "You are too greedy for money, you have no life, what's the use of asking for these things?" I'm not as stupid as you. ”
Gao Xiang said disappointedly: "It's a pity, if you have to do this, then you don't want to leave Skull Island." ”
The antagonism between the two sides was immediately ignited again. Xiao Jianping pulled out the dagger from behind his back, pointed at Gao Xiang and said, "Don't force me, let's go our separate ways." ”
In the blink of an eye, friends who share hardships become like enemies, and neither of them can believe that this kind of thing really happened to them.
"Do you want to kill me?" Gao Xiang stared at the dagger in Xiao Jianping's hand, "Then come and kill me, anyway, sooner or later you will die on Skull Island, it is better to die under your hands than in the mouth of a monitor lizard, come on, come and kill me if you have a kind!" Gao Xiang exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Jianping took a few steps back, and his hands began to tremble: "Don't force me, I can't take you away." The motorboat can only carry two people, and I have to take Yang Fan away. Don't worry, as soon as we are rescued, someone will come to pick you up. ”
"So you really found the ship!" Gao Xiang shouted angrily and pounced, "You are a good brother of mine!" ”
Gao Xiang suddenly felt his heart hot, and a fishy smell welled up in his esophagus. He stared down, as if he saw something unbelievable—the sharp dagger had been plunged into his chest.
"You, did you really do it?" Gao Xiang said bitterly.
Xiao Jianping let go of his hand tremblingly, took a few steps back, and stumbled on the reef.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He said in a trembling voice, watching Gao Xiang walk towards him with a bleeding wound, but after a few steps, Gao Xiang's body shook and plunged into the sea from the reef.
"Gao Xiang, I am also forced to do so, please forgive me!" Xiao Jianping knelt on the reef and cried bitterly at the corpse in the sea. After a while, he wiped away his tears, got up and walked towards the beach, walked a few steps, and as if remembering something, he turned back and took the fish and the box of dollars with him.
Yang Fan had already picked up seven or eight coconut juices and was anxiously waiting for Xiao Jianping on the beach. When he saw that the face of the person who had returned smoothly was bruised and swollen, and his body was covered with blood, he couldn't help but be surprised, and even asked what happened.
"I met a salt seller and I killed him." Xiao Jianping had no choice but to lie, and quickly drew Yang Fan's attention to the boat, "Let's go quickly!" The sooner you are rescued, the sooner they can be saved. ”
The two quietly got on Lan Yunshuang's ship and hid in the cargo hold.
"What is this?" Yang Fan asked, pointing to the suitcase.
"Snatched from a salt dealer." Xiao Jianping smiled, "It's money, it's enough for us to spend for a lifetime." ”
Yang Fan noticed that Xiao Jianping was smiling a little unnaturally, but he thought that it might be a nervous fear after fighting with the salt seller just now, so he didn't pay attention to it.
The boat carefully avoided the reef and sped off the coastal headland out to sea, dragging a long trail of waves behind the boat. No one would have noticed that there was a very strange wave in the waves, slightly above the sea, and followed them closely.
Gu Ming and the others saw that they had been discovered, so they had to come out of the grass with a hard head. They wondered what these strangers were in. Outwardly, these people are fundamentally different from the gang of ferocious salt sellers, and some of them also have a strong intellectual temperament.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to hide in the grass and spy on you." Jin Xu Xinzhong communicated with them in English, and his voice trembled a little because of the shocking scene he had just seen.
"Don't be afraid, we're all good people. My name is Linqi, are you Chinese? A brown-haired woman said with a smile.
Jin Xu Xinzhong nodded, and introduced himself to Gu Ming and Ah Hui, and those people also introduced themselves to them. As Kim Xu Xinzhong guessed, these people were regular expeditions, except for the handsome guy named Jeffer Ming and the Japanese named Hashimoto, who belonged to the Asian branch of the Black Institute of Historical Investigation in the United States. A few months ago, a fellow research colleague, Luke, mysteriously disappeared on Skull Island, and they were there to find him.
"Danny? Luke? Gu Ming blurted out.
"Did you see him?" Lynkey asked in surprise.
"He's dead." Gu Ming told them what he found in the woods, and everyone was shocked. Lynkey recounted their experience on the island, where they took off from Manila, Philippines, but the plane was hit and crashed by the island's salt sellers, but the dense foliage allowed them to land safely. But the most terrifying thing is that they found that there are man-eating monitor lizards hidden everywhere here, and the salt sellers are almost dead, and several people have died in the fight with the monitor lizards.
Lynkey continued to introduce their team members, including team leader Lester, assistant Quinn, and pilot Rena. Hashimoto, a Japanese mineral expert, is a friend of Lester and comes to Skull Island in search of a mysterious mineral deposit. Gu Ming heard from Lynki's words that it was Lester and Hashimoto who had deceived them in the name of looking for their colleagues, and their real purpose was to find mineral deposits, and Lynqi was obviously very angry about this matter. Gu Ming didn't know what kind of mineral deposit they were looking for, but the prospectors were at least much more peaceful than the salt sellers. And when it comes to that handsome guy Jeffermin, Lynch is very vague. But Gu Ming could see that there seemed to be a special feeling between them.
"He's a salt dealer survivor, be careful." The old man named Lester whispered in English in Gu Ming's ear.
It's a strange combination! Gu Ming thought to himself, fortunately he didn't mention the matter of the group of salt sellers just now.
"It's not easy for you students to survive in the jungle unarmed until now. What are you going to do now? Rena said.
Gu Ming couldn't answer this question either, he thought that the most important thing now was to find the other lost companions first.
"But have you ever thought about the danger of re-entering that forest, where there is a monitor lizard king?" Lin Qi listened to Gu Ming's thoughts and said worriedly.
Lester understood what Lynki's words meant, rolled his eyes and said, "Lynki, now we can't protect ourselves, since they still have companions, let them make their own decisions." ”
"Thank you, I think we can handle it." Gu Ming saw that Lester was unhappy, so he said.
"But are you capable of dealing with monitor lizards? And that terrible monster just now! Lynkey said he felt that if the students were allowed to enter the jungle again, they would be sent to their deaths.
"Lustre, lend me your binoculars!" Jeffrey suddenly said, "Hurry up! ”
Lester handed the high-powered field telescope to Geefomin, unable to guess what he had discovered.
