Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Devil Frog

Zhang Xiaohu knew that it would be difficult to get the information he wanted from Chenyi today, so he simply stopped asking about these things. He and Chenyi discussed the other things to do next, mainly how to plan and follow the charts to find the islands safely. With this experience on Worm Island, in order to avoid other dangers, the two of them decided that the next time they approached the island, the two ships would select the most elite personnel to land on the island, and the rest of the personnel would be on standby on board.

Of course, this order was issued through the fake goddess Liu Fang.

Zhang Xiaohu has his own calculations, of course, the personnel on the four-pointed star are his original five-person combination, and on the other goddess, how Chen Yi chooses the people to land on the island is not his concern, he wants to demonstrate and King Peter's inferences through field exploration in the follow-up islands......

This matter was soon notified to everyone's ears through the order of the goddess, and everyone did not have much opinion. The notice does not give a list of the people who will go to the island, and it seems that everyone is looking forward to being selected, and in addition to curiosity, they can enjoy the pleasure of stepping on land in addition to the tedious life on the painful and long ship, and landing on the island is the only hope.

Ten days later, an island appeared on the sea, and everyone was full of joy waiting for the announcement of the list of five, but for a whole day, the two boats stopped at the outskirts of the island, and everyone looked at the dense woods and golden sand of the island, and their hearts were itching, and they all hoped that they would be chosen to be the ones who landed on the island.

Until the early morning of the second day, when the two ships set sail, the list was not announced, and a terrible legend circulated among the crowd, it is said that the goddess originally took advantage of the moonlight, with her own guards quietly landed on the island, to see the safety of the island, but as soon as she landed on the island, she encountered a terrifying monster, fierce temperament, infinite strength, thanks to the goddess cushion, covering everyone's retreat, no bad things happened. However, under siege, the goddess was seriously injured, so she decided to leave the island as soon as possible.

Sure enough, for three days in a row, the goddess did not appear on the goddess, and all the things were handed over to Chenyi for processing. On the fourth day, the goddess appeared on the deck in a thin shape, with a faint smell of herbs on her body, and her voice also revealed a little tired, a little hoarse! Everyone firmly believed that the rumors were true, and slowly, everyone became less expectant about being chosen to land on the island, and it seemed that this errand was an extremely dangerous thing. These islands are inevitably a little too dangerous, and even the good skills of the goddess will be injured, let alone ordinary people like herself. And when they thought of the eighteen people who died tragically on Worm Island, the fear in their hearts was even more serious.

After another seven days, when an island reappeared, a sense of unease began to spread rapidly, and everyone was in danger, fearing that they would be one of the five. Many people began to feign illness to avoid this errand. The two ships really couldn't choose people, at this time, the goddess came forward and forcibly assigned the person in charge of each ship, the goddess was in charge of Chenyi, and the people went to find it by themselves, and the four-pointed star was in charge of Zhang Xiaohu. Fortunately, everyone seems to have chosen their own people and did not interfere with everyone's normal life.

Zhang Xiaohu sat at the front of the fast boat, Yan Dacang at the stern of the boat humming a folk song in his mouth, holding the oar in his hand, Zhao Zixuan holding a harpoon in his hand, staring intently at the island in the distance, Li Yichen checked the items and weapons he was carrying one by one, and King Peter looked at the notebook in his hand seriously.

"Attention everyone! You must be careful, if it weren't for Uncle Yan's good skills last time, King Peter would have been eaten by that big frog, so don't go wrong this time. Zhang Xiaohu looked at everyone and emphasized.

Seven days ago, they avoided everyone and secretly landed on the island at night, and sure enough, like the first two islands, there was a huge creature on this island, a giant amphibian frog, about 50 centimeters long, with a huge head, sharp horns above the eyes, fine teeth in the mouth, hard nails five centimeters long on the webbed limbs, and large and small, blue-gray bumps all over the body, extremely disgusting.

These giant frogs were hidden in a waterhole on that island, and when King Peter was collecting freshwater samples by the waterhole, a jujube red tongue suddenly popped out of the water, and it was Zhao Zixuan who grabbed him, and Yan Dacang took the knife in his hand, cut off the tongue, and killed a huge frog with a rifle in the direction of the spread of blood stains in the water.

The corpse of the frog continued to smell blood all around, and the waterhole soon boiled, and a dozen huge frogs smelled blood, frantically rushed to the dead corpse of the same kind, opened their mouths, and bit desperately, and soon devoured the same kind.

Zhang Xiaohu and the others stood by the waterhole, silently watching everything that happened in the waterhole. King Peter completely forgot what had happened to him just now, and said excitedly: "These are the devil frogs that have long been extinct, but I didn't expect that this creature is really like the legend, not only daring to hunt creatures larger than itself, but also extremely cruel, and can devour each other when there is not enough food." ”

The appearance of the devil frog further confirms King Peter's point that in addition to the devil frog, there is also a kind of cold-water salmon of one meter long living in a waterhole, which feeds on the eggs and larvae of the devil frog, and the two sides struggle to maintain a fragile balance in the small waterhole, which restricts each other but depends on each other for survival. Such a singular and interactive way of living would never have existed if it had not been for the intervention of human factors.

The plants on the island are large ferns, which are primitive and can survive in a cycle of two sets of sporophytes and a single set of gametophytes, and rely on moist and acidic soils to survive, not only to provide nutrients for the island, but also to detect changes in the island's environment.

Zhang Xiaohu and the others explored some locations on the island, and sure enough, they found that under the cover of a huge stone, there was a hidden passage, and on the mud outside the passage, all kinds of messy footprints were clearly left. As can be seen from the shape, a total of three people entered the secret room below.

Soon, Chen Yi took Tao Wei and Tao Wu from the passage, and the two brothers flashed out, and when they met, they were a little embarrassed.

Chen Yi smiled slightly and covered up: "What, do you want to go down and have a look?" This time she held a silver ring in her hand, which glowed coldly in the moonlight.

Tao Wei was holding another energy body, Tao Wu's face was a little haggard, and it seemed that the wound had not healed before he accompanied Chen Yi to the island.

Zhang Xiaohu understood that he was one step too late, and the core energy body of this island was taken away by Chenyi again. It seems that next time I will have to find the location of this secret room one step earlier.

Yan Cannon smiled slightly, raised the rifle in his hand, and sneered; "What are we going down to see? Are you going to leave us something? ”

Chen Yi looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Senior, I don't want to fight with you, I am bound to get this energy body, but for you, it doesn't mean anything!" ”

Zhao Zixuan looked angry, and sneered: "You don't have to worry about this, this time you are fast, next time you can't keep it even, we will be fast!" ”

The two sides parted unhappily and left the island......

After Zhang Xiaohu's recollection, his eyes returned to everyone's bodies, and he asked: "This time we will act separately, King Peter, you and Zhao Zixuan are responsible for investigating the biological characteristics of the island, Yichen, you are responsible for guarding the fast boat, and Uncle Yan and I are responsible for finding the secret room, no matter which party ends first, we must immediately return to the position of the fast boat to wait, of course, safety must come first!" Also, try not to have a conflict with that end, and be restrained, especially you, Lao Zhao! ”

Zhao Zixuan waved his hand awkwardly and shouted, "Don't worry!" I'm not going to be impulsive! ”
