Chapter 68: Volcanoes

Volcanoes are the window to the blazing heart of the earth and are the most explosive force on earth.

I don't know which turtle son said this, but now Zhao Weiji really understands it deeply.

Back two days ago, the Poseidon finally arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. The elated sailors were finally able to make repairs for a while, as the island was large and had fresh water resources.

When I arrived on Hawaii Island, it was October, which should have been late autumn in the Central Plains, but it was not reflected on Hawaii Island at all. It was so warm and humid.

The day they landed on the island coincided with heavy rain, and the crew was very excited, not only because it meant replenishing their fresh water reserves, but also because it had not rained for a long time.

For some reason, after solving the Viking incident, the voyage never encountered rain again.

After the rain, the Poseidon successfully approached the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, and then sent a small boat to carry some sailors ashore to explore.

Soon the sailors returned.

"Back to the prince, the island does have fresh water resources, and not only that, but there seem to be footprints of people who have lived."

Native Hawaiian? This was the first thought that came to Zhao Weiji's mind. Of course, he knew that there were indigenous people in Hawaii, but he didn't expect that there were already people living here in the 11th century.

"Oh, that's interesting, I'd like to check it out."

"Lord Wang, for the sake of safety, it's best to bring more people and weapons."

"Okay, I know, by the way, Huanzhang, you can recruit a group of people to go to the island and pick all those coconuts, that thing can be used as water to drink, and coconut meat can also be used to satisfy hunger."

Hearing Zhao Weiji's words, Wang Dayuan hurriedly patted his head, he forgot such a thing, he had already seen a lot of coconut trees growing on the island when he used a telescope to observe before landing on the island, but he didn't think about it at that time.

After instructing Wang Dayuan, Zhao Weiji took a group of people to the island with weapons.

After arriving on the island, they quickly joined the group of people who had gone to the island before, and after the two groups of men converged, they continued to advance deeper into the island.

Not long after they walked, they really came across a tribe.

"Everyone put away their weapons first, I don't want to make these local natives hostile to us in the first place."

So all the sailors put their weapons behind their backs, put their hands empty and began to walk towards the horde.

As soon as they reached the outskirts of the tribe, they were stopped by several sturdy men.

Of course, due to the language barrier, Zhao Weiji did not understand the words of these men, but in order to express friendship, Zhao Weiji still tried to communicate by gesture.

But after Zhao Weiji gestured for a while, those men didn't seem to understand what Zhao Weiji wanted to express at all. still threatened Zhao Weiji and his party with their primitive weapons.

Seeing that there was really no way, Zhao Weiji could only compare a few dances like a great god, which means that if you have a priest or a shaman, you should be able to communicate with us if you come to him.

These men basically didn't wear much clothing, and the weapons they used were also made of stone, so the tribe should still be in a primitive society. Zhao Weiji thought that if it was a primitive society, there should be priests or shamans who communicated with the gods, and this kind of people were often the most intelligent people in the tribal group. So he hopes to find this kind of person, and he hopes to communicate.

Zhao Weiji seemed to be able to understand what he wanted to express with his strange dancing posture, so he turned his head and entered the tribe, and then it didn't take long for him to lead a witch-like person out.

Seeing that it was a witch, Zhao Weiji immediately reacted, this tribe is too primitive now, and it is still a matriarchal clan society.

But now I can't do so much, and I can only hope that the witch will understand his gestures. So he repeated the gesture he had just made to the men.

It probably means that we came from the sea and wanted to go to your tribe and ask for some water.

I don't know if this witch understands Zhao Weiji's gestures, anyway, she nodded, and then ordered the men to get out of the way and lead Zhao Weiji and his party into the tribe.

After entering the tribe, the witch found a place and pointed to it, which seemed to mean to let Zhao Weiji and his party sit down. After the group sat down, the water did not see, but countless natives came forward to watch.

The curiosity of the natives is something that Zhao Weiji can understand, not only the natives are curious, but the sailors here are also curious. What kind of people are these people, not only are their hands and necks covered with messy ornaments, but they don't have much clothes on.

The curiosity of the natives is the opposite, not only do these people have no ornaments, but they also wrap their bodies tightly with something they don't know what it is.

Just when the two groups of people were staring at each other, the witch appeared again, not only her but also a few entourages, and the entourage put a lot of fruit in their hands in front of Zhao Weiji and his party, and then left. The witch also stood in front of Zhao Weiji and his party and motioned for them to eat the fruits.

Zhao Weiji looked at the fruits in front of him, there were coconuts, bananas, etc., basically he knew them, so he estimated that it would be no big deal to let his subordinates start eating these fruits by themselves.

When the witch saw Zhao Weiji and his party eating the fruit, she nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and left.

But it wasn't long before the witch reappeared, dressed in a different way, and started to light a fire in the center of the tribe.

Because the witch used the most primitive way of making a fire, it was very laborious, and a sailor on Zhao Weiji's side couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out a match from his pocket and stepped forward to help the witch light the thatch.

When the witch saw that the thatch had been set on fire so easily, she became excited, and quickly got up and respectfully invited the sailor back to his seat.

Then the witch called out to the maidens and began to dance around the flames, and the people around them began to mumble something in their voices.

Now Zhao Weiji was dumbfounded, what does this mean? Why don't you start dancing the gods? Is this a preparation to worship us, or is it a preparation to worship your gods with us?

Zhao Weiji, who felt that the situation was not good, secretly greeted his subordinates, asking them to be ready at all times, and once things changed, they would immediately take up arms to resist.

So all the sailors raised their vigilance and secretly reached for the weapons behind their backs. But just after all the sailors were ready to fight, what Zhao Weiji was worried about did not happen for a long time.

Just when Zhao Weiji thought that nothing would happen, suddenly the earth trembled, as if there was an earthquake. After the tremor ended, the witch's dancing god performance also ended.

The moment the witch stopped moving, all the men in the tribe drew their weapons and aimed them at them. Seeing that the situation was not good, the sailors also drew their weapons and engaged these natives.

Of course, the natives didn't expect that the thing that this group of weirdos had been carrying behind their backs was a weapon, so when they didn't find out how much of a threat the weapons in the hands of this group of weirdos were to them, the natives didn't dare to attack rashly.

At this time, the witch was dissatisfied, she jumped and pointed at Zhao Weiji and his party, which seemed to mean that the natives should attack quickly, and then she muttered something that Zhao Weiji didn't understand, and finally she pointed in a certain direction.

Zhao Weiji looked in the direction she was pointing, only to see that there was a mountain, and there seemed to be a kind of black smoke emitting from the top of the mountain, and a red thick liquid thing was coming out from the mountain pass and mountainside.

"Your sister, isn't that magma, the volcano erupted." Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Weiji was scared half to death, he himself had never experienced a volcanic eruption, but he had seen it on TV before. That scene is old and horrible.

"Volcano, what is a volcano, lord?" Of course, this group of sailors who have been living in the last place will not know what a volcano is, and none of the active volcanoes owned by China are now in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The volcano is ......, sister, don't worry about it so much, let's quickly break out of the encirclement and escape to the ship, or we will all die."

"No, these primitives aren't going to pose any threat to us." In the eyes of the sailors, although the primitive people pointed their weapons at them, they could not threaten themselves with the weapons made of stone in their hands.

"Of course I'm not talking about primitive people, don't worry about so much, I'll explain after killing them first."

Since the prince had given the order, they could not disobey it, so all the sailors began to move together and launched an attack on the primordial. Of course, this group of primitive people with stone weapons were no match for the Great Song sailors who used iron weapons, so Zhao Weiji and his party easily fought their way out.

"Lord Wang, we have broken through."

"Then run, don't look back."

Although I didn't understand what Zhao Weiji said, from the perspective of obeying the order, everyone still started to run to the boat.

But there were always a few disobedient people who looked back, and what they saw was not the primitives who were pursuing, but the red liquid constantly devouring the forest, and the tribe they were in just now.

The sailor, who had never seen such a scene, collapsed on the ground at once. The actions of these few people certainly caught the attention of others. So many more people saw what they saw when they turned around and prepared to pull the men. Eventually, all of them saw the horrific scene.

"Lord Wang...... You just ...... Call us...... Run...... It is...... Cause, cause, cause...... This one? The sailor who asked Zhao Weiji questions was already unable to speak at the moment.

"That's it, you see how scary it is, run away."

The crowd, barely on their feet, ran towards the boat. It's just that because of the little time they delayed, the lava has engulfed everything and caught up.
