Chapter 306: The Great Wall in the Sea (Ask for Subscription)
On the endless sea, an ocean-going ship sailed at a speed of 20 knots per hour, pulling a long white mark on the surface of the sea, diverting the waves and riding the wind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After more than ten days of sailing, the giant ship finally crossed the Strait of Ma~Rokko from the Pacific Ocean, and successfully sailed into the waters of the Indo~Du Ocean, according to the position of the nautical instruments and astrological phenomena, they are in a position close to Sumatra, and the legend says that Skull Island is in the west direction of Sumatra, and the distance is getting closer and closer.
On the vast sea, the weather is changeable, moody, cloudless sunny days, of course, there will be thunderstorms, storms, monstrous waves, one after another, but I have to say that the performance and craftsmanship of this giant ship is really powerful, even if it is through the extremely turbulent area of the waves, there is no sense of churning and bumps, such as walking on the ground, the whole process is very smooth and stable.
In the early hours of the morning, when Li Xiao was still hugging the beauty in his arms and was still in the gentle countryside, he suddenly heard a noisy and urgent sound from the deck, and the crew shouted with a hint of excitement.
Keen senses, so that Li Xiao even in his sleep also tensed a string, hearing the strange noise, his eyes suddenly opened, no sleep, after a slight hesitation, he quickly put on his clothes, pushed open the door of the cabin, and sprinted towards the bow deck under his feet.
"What the hell is going on?" Maria rubbed her sleepy eyes, woke up faintly, and looked at Li Xiao who rushed out of the cabin, still a little confused.
……
……
It's early in the morning, and it's the most humid time of the day. The sea surface is foggy, rich and deep, the cold is pressing, and the surrounding air seems to be floating with a lot of hazy cotton wool, covering the silver moon and stars in the sky, blocking people's sight, the visibility is very low, only the navigation lights and mast lights on the ship can vaguely refract a ray of light, and the direction of the search is out.
In the foggy situation, the black captain Genos himself sat in the cockpit, adjusted the slow speed, and took the helm to move forward.
And when Li Xiao came to the deck, there were already a lot of people gathered here. Including the sailor, the first mate, Carl, Immorton and others had already arrived here, and looking at their appearance, they all looked nervous and excited.
"Bang dang."
"Whoa."
The waves are rough and the wind is raging.
Sailing in the turbulent undercurrent, Rao is the ocean-going giant ship, also began to sway violently, Carl almost fell to the ground unsteadily, and the rest of the people also looked for support around them, or hugged the mast, or dragged the bulkhead, in the violent shaking, it was difficult to maintain the balance of the body.
Only Li Xiao carried his hands behind his back, his legs seemed to be stuck on the deck, standing steadily, unaffected by the bumps. His deep gaze had a strange look in it, and he stared straight ahead.
……
……
"It's thirty-five lengths now, and it's almost the end!"
On the left side of the ship, the experienced former watchman, after throwing the detection rope into the sea, reported to Captain Genos after a cursory sweep of the scale.
If it is located in the depths of the ocean, the probe cable is far from the bottom, in the end, it means that the probe cable has been released to the land contact surface, and they have come to the near sea!
"Turn the rudder fifteen degrees to the left, set the speed to the lowest, and be ready to land at any time!" Genos admonished with a solemn expression, and at the same time, his hands did not forget to take the helm in the direction of the tunnel.
According to estimates, the island is likely to be in front of it, and in the state of the tide of the water, the speed of the current must be calculated, and the underwater reef is intricate, and if the berthing is not careful, there will even be a risk of capsizing and running aground, so Genos does not dare to be careless, and is very cautious.
The crew and sailors of the ocean liner were all mobilized. Under the command of the captain and the first mate, the sail was retracted, the mooring was moored, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and with their joint efforts, the speed of the giant ship dropped sharply, and it sailed forward at an even slower speed.
"Wall, there's a huge wall in front of it!"
On the lookout, when the young sailor shook the searchlight in his hand and vaguely saw the scene ahead, he couldn't help but shout.
When everyone heard this, they followed their eyes.
By the light that was not too dazzling, I saw that in the deep fog ahead, there was indeed a wall that rose more than ten feet high, and it was like a giant beast in the sea, towering there quietly, unfathomable.
The rocky walls along the shore were steep and steep, and the rushing waves crashed against the rocks, breaking into huge sprays, which were then thrown down heavily, filling the air with salty and icy water.
The wind howled, like a giant beast in the sea roaring and whining, and it was terrible. Under this foggy and tumbling environment, there is a strange and gloomy atmosphere, which makes people feel depressed.
"Oh my God, why is there such a huge stone wall on the island!" Maria wrapped her dressing gown tightly and held on to the railing of the ship against the bitter cold wind, and she couldn't help but look surprised at this scene.
"This stone wall doesn't look like it's natural, it's like it's man-made! Could it be that there are people on this island? Immorton frowned deeply.
Seeing this island, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a huge wall was erected on the island, which is just like the scene in the movie, which means that this island is Skull Island! The towering walls were built by the island's natives to defend against dinosaurs and various mutated creatures.
Maria leaned on the railing and walked to the bow of the boat, her wrist was affectionately hugged around Li Xiao's waist, her delicate body was also tightly attached, the bird was human, Chu Chu was emotional, and there was no one around.
Immorton coughed lightly and looked away in amusement.
Li Xiao lowered her head, looked at the beauty snuggled in her arms, and couldn't help but scratch her Qiong's nose.
In the present world, Li Xiao once said this. After a month out on a cruise, a couple is likely to get divorced when they get home. And the two people who are single, one man and one woman, are likely to linger and be warm, like glue.
The reason is very simple, the time at sea is too boring, after a long time, the husband and wife will inevitably feel bored, so that they find a new love, the same reason, but also because of this, single men and women are likely to be bored because of the time, in the case of bowing their heads and not looking up to see each other.
Li Xiao and Maria, on the other hand, are between dewy love and sincere feelings, with the impulse to meet fire and the love that attracts each other.
"Maria, this island is full of dangers, so to be safe, don't go." Li Xiao wrapped his arm and took Maria in his arms in turn, as authentic.
"No, Darling, I want to go to the island to have fun. The old Chinese saying you taught me is good, and if you come, you will be safe. Maria stood on tiptoe, stepped forward, and dropped a fragrant kiss on Li Xiao's cheek, her beautiful eyes blinked, the brilliance flashed, snuggled in Li Xiao's arms, and murmured softly, charming and shy.
After looking at her for a moment, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, which was considered acquiescence, and finally his gaze passed through the mist and fell on Skull Island, with a thoughtful expression.
……
……
On one side of the island, the nearby reefs were crisscrossed and irregularly arranged, and Captain Genos had to carefully steer the ship around the outer edge of the island.
With the passage of time, people finally got a glimpse of the outline of this mysterious island, with strange and dangerous peaks and strange rocks.
The massive wall enclosed the island like an iron bucket, with only a few gaps in the rock face, large or small.
The whole island is very large, and it took a full two hours to circle around it, and finally found a sheltered shallow bend without so many reefs, stopped the ship and anchored, and docked without danger.
The time gradually came to the early morning, the sun finally jumped out of the sea level, thousands of golden wisps shone down, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and the cold temperature finally became warmer.
"Bring your weapons and the necessary supplies, and now you will be on the island."
When the sun had risen, and the sea had finally calmed down, two small wooden boats were laid down on the ship, and except for the two crew members who were guarding the ship, everyone was divided into two groups, each in a two-bladed boat, carrying ten rifles and five carbines, and the group finally landed on the island.
Rows of skulls were in the recesses of the mountain walls along the way, white and terrifying, and they were arranged together in such a neat order, as if the island had been cursed by some vicious curse, full of ominous signs.
Everyone put their weapons on their backs and walked along a lava ditch, and along the way, they could see the bones of human corpses, piled up like a mountain, as if even the cold wind poured in, with a heavy bloody smell.
"I finally know why this place is called Skull Island." Captain Genos gasped and walked briskly past the piles of bones, feeling discouraged that it was unlucky for them to see dead objects at their destination, let alone to see so many corpses.
Li Xiao's eyes swept over the corpses indifferently, although his expression was unmoved, but there was also a trace of vigilance in his heart, after all, this island was full of many dangerous creatures, even if an ancient saber-toothed tiger came out of the grass, he would not feel any surprise.
At the same time, his spiritual power turned into an invisible silk thread of Taoism, spreading and swinging around.
After walking over a suspension bridge that connects the canyon, the group finally entered the confines of the island from along the coastline.
At this moment, a huge wall stood in front of everyone.
It is more huge than it looks on the sea just now, this city wall is built by manpower with a piece of rock flat ground, it is more than 40 meters high, stretching vertically and horizontally, just like the city wall on the ancient Roman battlefield, magnificent and magnificent, magnificent, people can't help but marvel!
In addition, on the surrounding ground, there are many jagged spears, and there are many traces of sharp weapons polished on the rocks, as if a fierce battle has been experienced here.
"This is really a desert island that has not been set foot by humans, and with such a large area, if it is developed, it will definitely gain a lot of resources, and Mr. Scott will be smiling from ear to ear." In the team, one of Carson's expedition members was full of excitement.
"Such a magnificent city wall, it is actually located on a desert island, if it is made public, it will inevitably be listed as the ninth wonder of the world, Peston, start filming now!"
Carl hurriedly asked his assistant to put down the camera machine he was carrying on his shoulder, and couldn't wait to capture all these shocking images.
This is an island that no one has ever set foot on, and if it can be put on the screen, it will be enough to shock the world, and many people will definitely crowd the door of the theater! Carl thought to himself.
"A miracle indeed!" Although Immorton had some disdain for Karl, he recognized this sentence.
The difficulty of building a city wall on a desert island is no less difficult than the pyramids of ancient Egypt, but a question immediately arises in his mind: "What is the purpose of someone building such a huge wall on a desert island, is it just to reflect its magnificence?" ”
"It was built to ward off ferocious beasts." Li Xiao explained.
"How terrifying should they be to use this wall to defend against fierce beasts?" Maria Jean's nose wrinkled slightly, very surprised.
"Don't worry, you'll see you sooner or later." Li Xiao said lightly.
Regarding Li Xiao's words, the rest of the people felt a little inexplicable.
But just as the words fell, across the huge city wall, I could faintly hear the roar of apes and tigers, the screams of night owls, and the top of the mountains in the distance seemed to have a purple glow flowing, which was strange and mysterious.
"Damn, I can't wait to get out of here by now." Captain Genos couldn't help but shudder and let out bitterness.
"Look, what are those?"
At this moment, Piston suddenly raised his hand to the city wall, and saw several black spots suddenly appear on the city wall, ranging from two to a dense patch, very much like some black spots.
Everyone looked at it again, and saw that there were many naked, dark-skinned island natives, but at this time, they were either holding spears or stone knives in their hands, and their faces were extremely hideous, looking very fierce, it was obvious that they were not welcome to Li Xiao's intruders!
"Whew!"
At this moment, a spear suddenly shot with swift force, volleyed from that side, and sank into the chest of one of the expedition members, who also fell in response, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Oh no!"
Seeing this, Maria covered her heart and screamed in horror!
