Chapter 278: Discovering the Clues
The whole sailboat sailed briskly towards the two small islands in front of them, and with the help of a small wind, their sailboat finally came to the sea near the small island after more than half an hour.
"Brother Cheng, these two islands are not small."
Du Qiu looked at the two islands opposite, and couldn't help laughing, the bigger the island, the more abundant the species on it, it is better to have wild fruits, otherwise, they can only pick wild vegetables to make pickled vegetables or dried vegetables.
Zhao Cheng smiled, and then raised his eyes to look at the two islands opposite, the two islands were very close to each other, and he guessed that these two islands were actually just one island, and there might be mountains connecting the two islands under the surface of the sea.
Based on his observations, he found that one of the two islands was oval-shaped, the other was elongated, and the two islands formed an Arabic numeral: 10.
Of course, Zhao Cheng didn't know what Arabic numerals were, and in his cognition, this number was the number of the continent: 10.
"Dock! Dock! ”
Zhao Cheng came back to his senses, and then shouted, by this time, their ship had already come to the side of the oval island, and then they began to drop anchor and secure the ship.
"Du Qiu, Aaron, let's go."
Zhao Cheng greeted the rest of his companions one by one, then jumped off the boat, and then walked towards the island.
There are many plants on the island, but most of them are low bushes, and there are some tall trees, which are relatively scarce.
Landing on the shore, Zhao Cheng glanced at the island roughly, then chose a direction and walked forward, with the others following behind him.
The trail is not very easy to follow, with rocks and small bushes blocking the way in many places.
But as he walked, Zhao Cheng suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
The soil here is a bit strange.
He kicked a tuft of weeds away, revealing the soil underneath, and then grinded the soil down with the soles of his shoes, frowning even more.
"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"
Seeing him like this, Du Qiu and the other five companions next to him glanced at each other, and immediately looked at Zhao Cheng.
"Du Qiu, something is wrong, do you see that there are a lot of fish scales in this soil?"
Zhao Cheng pointed to the crushed dirt at his feet and explained to Du Qiu.
Hearing this, Du Qiu straightened up, then squatted down and carefully examined the soil under their feet.
He grabbed a handful of dirt from between the weeded soils and twisted it with his fingers.
Between the gray-brown soil, there are shiny patches, like the scales of a fish.
"Brother Cheng?"
Du Qiu looked at Zhao Cheng, it was not strange that fish scales appeared on this kind of island, but this was too many, as if there were countless small fish and shrimp dead on this island.
"The dirt is not hard enough, and I suspect it was a collection of decomposing fish organisms."
Zhao Cheng said a word to Du Qiu, then he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not care about this one problem for now, let's go around first and see if we can find any wild fruits." ”
"Okay."
Du Qiu and the others answered, and then walked out in all directions.
Zhao Cheng stood alone, looked around and then walked towards the top of the mountain, and after a while, he came to the top of the mountain, and then began to check the topography of this island.
Oval in shape, with a bump at the top and end on both sides, and then a bulge at the front, the whole island looks like a giant turtle at this point.
"Turtle?"
When this word poured into his mind, Zhao Cheng was no longer calm, he ran down the mountain, and then came to the place where their big ship docked, and took down a shovel from above.
He came to the bulge in front of him, and then dug down heavily with a shovel, the soil here was particularly crunchy, and because of his constitution, he quickly dug a large pit, and the dirt around him was pushed into the sea.
"Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"
At this time, Du Qiu and the others walked over with joy on their faces, and on this island, they found a lot of wild fruits, which could be eaten directly, and they could also be dried fruits.
Du Qiu was about to tell Zhao Cheng such good news, but he saw Zhao Cheng digging a pit with a shovel?
What's going on?
Zhao Cheng, who was digging a pit over there, ignored Du Qiu, but continued to throw his hand to smash the shovel in his hand, and after about half an hour, Zhao Cheng, who was shaking the shovel hard, suddenly lit up, and then laughed, "Get rich, get rich." ”
He looked at Du Qiu and them, "Du Qiu, we're going to get rich!" ”
"Brother Cheng, what did you find?"
Du Qiu looked at Zhao Cheng in astonishment, he was still confused at this time, and then looked at the other companions, the same.
However, after they glanced at each other, they all walked towards Zhao Cheng's side.
Zhao Cheng stood in that big pit with a smile, holding his shovel with both hands, and the whole person looked like an old god.
Du Qiu and the others came to Zhao Cheng's side, and at this moment, they all looked at the big pit in unison, and under this look, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed.
"This ...... It's ......"
Du Qiu was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, at the bottom of that big pit at this moment, it was not the crunchy soil from before, but another object like a rock, but this kind of object was like the cuticle of some kind of creature.
Bang Bang Bang!!
Zhao Cheng smashed the bottom of the pit with the shovel in his hand, and made a metal collision sound, "See?" It's not dirt here. ”
He smiled, and then expanded the bottom of the pit by two points around him, and the hard "rock" was more clearly visible to everyone.
"Let's help together."
Du Qiu saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said this, and then took out a shovel from the cabin, and then followed Zhao Cheng to expand the bottom of the pit.
Up to now, thanks to the crunchy soil here and the fact that Zhao Cheng Duqiu's physique is not very bad, the seven people have cleared out forty or fifty square meters of space.
Without exception, the bottom of these pits is such a hard "rock".
And as these "rocks" are exposed, the more they feel like the cuticles of some kind of creature.
"Brother Cheng, could it be a giant beast that destroyed the original human civilization?"
Du Qiu licked his lips and asked Zhao Cheng next to him.
"It's hard to say."
The corners of Zhao Cheng's mouth couldn't help but grin, "It's very likely that it's those giant beasts, but if this island is a giant beast, then the other island must also be a giant beast." ”
His eyes looked at the long island opposite, and his heart was even more excited.
Before, many people were skeptical that there were still giant beast corpses in the ocean, and for this reason, many people were stirring up the topic of giant beast corpses.
There are also people in the black market who specialize in buying giant beast corpses, and the price has reached a very terrifying level, but no one has ever started such a transaction.
Now, Zhao Cheng felt that maybe everyone's perception of the corpse of the giant beast before would change because of them.
