Chapter 22: The Mystery

There are so many mysteries in this world that there are waiting to be solved, so that the pace of human curiosity never stops.

Under an open coconut grove, they buried Lao Lai and Mei Jiu together. No matter how plain they were when they were alive, now is undoubtedly the most romantic and can live and die together.

Guanglong pulled out ~ out of the dragon knife, and carved "the tomb of Lao Lai Meijiu and his wife" on a coconut tree. Although I have only known them for one night, I was touched by their feelings and felt inexplicable sadness in my heart. In other words, Guanglong, can he stand up for his lover like Lao Lai, even if he is broken.

Everyone stood in front of the tomb with a solemn expression, except for Xiao Ling, who looked around and looked at the sky from time to time or walked back and forth. She didn't know them from the old guys, and she was also accustomed to the life and death of people, but fortunately, she didn't harass them, and she didn't have a grinning face.

Mrs. Jin sprinkled a handful of sand and said: "The scenery here is unique, so you can watch the sea dry and rotten together." We will bless you. ”

They were reluctant to leave because it might be the last time they would pay homage to the two. If they leave here, I'm afraid they won't come back in this life. But it's okay, no one can disturb the two for a long time.

Until Xiaoling complained: "You still don't leave? When the stinky monkey comes, expect me to save you. "That's when they left the coconut grove.

At first, the Father attacked the Express, perhaps because it was considered to be encroaching on their territory, so they fought back.

On the beach, Pinlan held a black ball again, and popularized science to others with unique insights. Everyone was shocked.

Jin Lao~ played with the black ball, and couldn't stop admiring: "I can't imagine that I will see such a magical treasure again in my lifetime, and it can affect time." This is by no means something that we humans can create. ”

Xianling was quite unimpressed. In her eyes, it was nothing more than an extremely rare black crystal, with cracks on it, and its value was greatly reduced.

Yi Pinlan heard Jin Lao say that he would see him again, and hurriedly asked, "Jin Lao, did you say that you had seen navigation before?" ”

Jin Lao smiled: "It is similar to the black box of an airplane. It's not clear to navigate, but I've seen black skulls of similar material. When you took it out, I thought it was a skeleton. ”

Guanglong was taken aback. Black skulls, blue skulls, and it seems that there are indeed 13 crystal skulls. They go straight to the holy places and treasures of the Party of Spades. Will these strange orbs cause harm to the human body and cause hallucinations? I don't know when and where Jin Lao found out.

Chaoluan also has a strong interest in the black ball: "It's it, the new world that brought us, it can create wormholes?" "Looking at the depth inside the black ball, it is boundless, it is simply the epitome of a black hole.

Wormholes, as they all know, are tunnels that connect two space-times, through which time travel can be completed. If that's the case, what happens when you put 13 crystal skulls together? Build a wormhole that leads to the Holy Land, which hides the ultimate secret of humanity. Guanglong's imagination was full of infinite longing. So the question is, where is the new world they live in?

Jin Lao suddenly said rigorously: "Wormholes exist in theory, but they have not been scientifically recognized. Maybe it's not as complicated as we think. ”

Guanglong wondered: "How can you explain that?" We crashed into the wall, but now we're on the beach. There is also a father, who is obviously a legendary creature in the Book of Mountains and Seas, how can reality exist? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling said with a sad face: "I knew that we were already dead." You don't want to live don't pull me as a back, I still want to be a star, who wants to come to this place where birds don't pull ~. ”

Chao Luan saw that the idol was in a bad mood, and hurriedly comforted: "Most of the creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are absurd, and some are exaggerated and fictional. As for the father you are talking about, I think it is an ape with amazing arm strength. ”

Father will not mention it for the time being. In short, the fact that they crossed is beyond doubt. Different from Guanglong's crossing, this time it is a crossing in the same dimension, a completely unfamiliar new world.

Yi Pinlan interrupted them, "Don't get away from the topic. I don't know anything about wormholes, but I'm responsible to tell you, Soul Express is indeed a tool to connect the two worlds with the help of black ball navigation. The reason why I left before dawn was because I didn't want your people to panic too much. ”

Listening to them is a fantasy, like facing a group of aliens. She muttered to herself, "You're too mysterious. If our story is changed to a script, it will definitely be a big hit in the United States, a science fiction film. Her face grew faster than she flipped through a book, and now she didn't know what she was fantasizing.

But the seaside was strange, because they saw something they shouldn't have.

They were still struggling with the black ball, and Mrs. Jin on the side exclaimed, "Crocodile! Be careful, everyone. ”

They are also frightened, they just escaped from their father, and they can't escape the crocodile? Wait a minute, how can there be crocodiles on the beach. It's an amphibian reptile that lives in freshwater.

With a long flat mouth, dry skin like tree bark, and thick~strong limbs, it is undoubtedly a crocodile. It was the first time Guanglong had seen a crocodile on the beach, which was really rare. It has a limited length and slow movements, so it should not be dangerous.

They were just a dozen meters away from the crocodile, shuddered at its cold-blooded animal signature eyes. Jin Lao signaled them not to take it lightly and beware of a sudden attack by crocodiles. It is said that crocodiles are not slow when they attack. Guanglong is also inexperienced, maybe it is waiting for the right time to attack them?

The crocodile didn't seem to care about them, just crawling slowly, sometimes crawling on the beach without moving. Xiao Ling hid behind and couldn't help but look around: "What a cunning crocodile." ”

Guanglong found that whenever the crocodile was lying on its stomach, countless small blue dots would gather around it. Others also noticed the wonderful scene.

Guanglong approached curiously, only to find that those small dots were crabs. It's just that it's far away and it feels small, but in fact, the crab is the size of a palm.

The most peculiar thing about the blue crab is that it does not walk sideways but straight.

Numerous blue crabs climb onto the crocodile's back carapace and carefully search for something with pincers. The crocodile's back is crisscrossed with folds, and it must have accumulated a lot of parasites and dirt over the years, so I think it came to the beach to ask a natural scavenger for help for cleanliness and health. In the animal kingdom, similar symbiotic mutual assistance is common, with mutual benefit for both parties.

Sure enough, some blue crabs took out the dirty stuff and ate it to absorb the nutrients, and then went elsewhere to look for it. The crocodile enjoys closing its eyes and recuperating at the disposal of the blue crab. When the crocodile felt that it was almost there, it got up and continued to crawl.

Everyone was worried about Guanglong's safety and rushed over, and they were also amazed when they saw this.

Xiao Ling was surprised: "It's strange, the crab doesn't walk sideways." ”

Jin Lao nodded and said, "There are indeed crabs that don't walk sideways, but they are not common. ”

Some crabs change their way of walking because of their body structure, and not all of them walk sideways, but they are rare and strange.

What is rare is that crocodiles and blue crabs are not afraid of people at all, and even if they visit at close range, they are busy when they are not there.

Jin Lao looked at the crocodile carefully and pondered: "Maybe we are wrong, it is not a crocodile, it should be a lizard that lives by the sea." ”

Lizard? It looks too much like a crocodile. Jin Lao explained that when the lizard closes its mouth, its teeth are not exposed, while some of the crocodile's teeth are exposed. Guanglong didn't notice that its exposed teeth were really lizards. I can't believe it, but I'm reassured that it won't hurt people.

The blue crab was eating on the back of the sea lizard, and Guanglong was hungry. Think about a night of tossing, the dripping water is not wet, and the stomach is already empty. But in the face of the challenges of surviving in the wild, full of unknowns, will they be able to find food?

Guanglong's stomach rumbled, and the others knew it.

Yi Pinlan smiled: "If you want to leave this place, you must first fill your stomach." Let's go, find food. ”

The crowd said goodbye to the blue crabs and sea lizards and headed for the woods. The parasites on the back of the sea lizard really can't whet their appetite, and the blue crab is not enough to stuff their teeth. There may be a father in the woods, but food is more likely.

Considering the danger in the woods, it was decided that the old couple would stay and collect sea salt and extract fresh water. This is difficult to resist Jin Lao, and coarse salt can be obtained by distillation. Both Guanglong and Chaoluan have firemotors, and the origin of fire is not a problem.

The rest of the people passed through the outermost coconut groves, which gradually thickened and thickened with bushes. They were always on guard against their father, but fortunately they did not touch the territory.

There are many hares and pheasants in the bushes, and mushrooms and berries are abundant, making it a natural food field. Yipinlan's bow and arrow came into use, and she shot 2 hares and 4 pheasants in succession; The rest gather berries and wild vegetables.

Several of the unknown trees had oval-shaped fruits hanging upside down, green and translucent, connected by branches. They climbed up with great difficulty and only picked a few. Yi Pinlan said that it was a green oil fruit, and it could be drunk directly with the top lid opened. Guanglong took the green oil fruit with a hard appearance like a duck pear, tried to cut the handle around with a knife, and sure enough, he took out the core together, leaving the shell like a wine glass. The shell is a pale yellow juice ~ liquid, sweet and fragrant. Guanglong tasted a refreshing, cool, fragrant and fragrant taste, with a faint honey taste.

Occasionally, there are crenellated grasses on the ground, and they are said to be delicious wild vegetables, but they have a sharp appearance and must be cooked before eating. There are also spider vines, cupola mushrooms, and other wild vegetables that they have never heard of, let alone seen. Yipinlan is like a treasure, Guanglong suspects that she is really from another world?

The most idle is Xiaoling, this eldest lady really regards herself as a star, she doesn't help or say anything, and she is still taking selfies with exotic flowers and plants on the side. Chao Luan didn't blame her, and Yi Pinlan avoided it. Guanglong knew that she was unforgiving, and he didn't want to offend easily. However, the big star is not for nothing, she has collected quite a lot of wild mushrooms, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the brightness with enchanting ~ Rao, and some umbrellas are even oozing red juice ~ liquid. Guanglong was horrified when he saw it, who are you going to poison.

Xiao Ling held her victory fruit and said to Guanglong: "Brother Long, you see that my mushrooms are beautiful, I will make them for you to eat later." ”

Guanglong smiled bitterly: "Okay, good." Chaoluan, he must like it. ”

After everyone collected, they met with the old couple and built a fire outside the coconut grove to cook.

Guanglong has never been so hungry, and he has never eaten so deliciously. The meat dishes include roasted hares and roasted pheasants, vegetarian dishes with saber-toothed vegetables and cupola mushrooms, sprinkled with coarse salt of low purity, which is also a unique taste. Each of them held a wine glass of green avocal, which was considered to be drinking.

Jin Lao said that the salinity of the sea is extremely high, like the Dead Sea, so there are no fish in it. Otherwise, there is grilled fish to eat, and only small creatures such as blue crabs live on the shore.

The most angry Chiling, who contributed the least but ate the most. Shouldn't you celebrities stay in shape?

During the mealtime, they did not forget to discuss what to do next. Chaoluan drank the pulp of the green fruit ~ juice and said: "This island is a high mountain in the center except for the woods, why don't you go to the mountain to have a look?" ”

After much consideration, everyone decided that it was feasible. If you want to leave the uninhabited island, you don't just have to go, since the express train is useless, you have to find another way.

The Soul Express can't be repaired. For this day, there is only a recuperation, and a small boat is built to go to sea. And the only mountain on the island, you may be able to find useful materials.
