Chapter 60: The Prairie is Green
It's a plain-like island, and if you stand on one side of the island, you can see the general appearance of the other side, and Ethan circled around the island twice, and finally affirmed that this island is a plain.
"Are all the floating and sinking islands you said look like this?"
Rogan, who was popularized by Ethan, saw for the first time the so-called islands that could suddenly appear at sea and sink back to the bottom of the sea after a period of existence, he didn't know how these islands only existed at sea for such a short time, how did they grow so many plants, but can this island really replenish supplies? Could it be that everyone in this world eats grass?
"The islands are so strange, and this is the first time I've seen an island like this grassland. β
Ethan put down his binoculars and wondered what to do next.
The island is definitely going to be visited, even if there is no food supplement such as fruit on this island, it cannot be ruled out that there are minerals on the island.
According to the information that Brent told him, it can be learned that the islands on this route are very rich in supplies, and this island cannot be empty.
"If that's the case, I'm a little bit lucky. β
"You've said you've always had good luck, and hopefully you'll be able to keep that up after I come. "Logan doesn't want Ethan to be unlucky when he gets on the boat, everyone wants to have an easy life, especially someone like Logan who has been through a lot of things.
"On the island?"
"Just dock over there. β
Circling the island is not just about observing, but also about finding a suitable mooring spot.
Most of the area around the island is inaccessible to the Aurora, and there are only two places suitable for mooring.
One of them is a small harbor that resembles a recessed island, and the water depth is very good, but it has been observed that there are a lot of reefs at the bottom of the water, and if it is at low tide, the Aurora is likely to be trapped in it and unable to get out.
The other location is not a harbor, but simply the edge of the island. It wasn't a shoal, and there weren't too many reefs underwater, so the Aurora could just dock over and take a springboard to the island.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, the waves are a bit rough in that place, and if the boat is moored there, you can't rest on the boat at night, and there is no suitable place to camp nearby, so you can't watch the ship nearby.
"Which place to choose?"
Ethan didn't dwell on it for too long, and chose the shore instead of the calm harbor.
"This is not the earth after all, this island does not know when it will sink suddenly, if it happens to be at low tide, and the ship is stuck in the harbor and cannot leave, then we will be in big trouble. β
Although there are many troubles to stop on the shore, it is not impossible to solve, even if someone suddenly comes here and starts the idea of the Goddess of Dawn, and because of the alarm device, Ethan with the flame cloak can rush back in a very short time to avoid his boat being stolen by others.
"Do you want to keep someone on the boat?" The choice is only for herself and Ethan, Laura is too young to stay alone, she must act with someone or stay together.
Ethan shook his head and pointed to Xiao Ou who was scratching his ears next to him: "Just leave this little thing behind, I left a positioning device in its collar, even if something happens, as long as the other party doesn't run too far, I will find it." β
Logan knew that Ethan could fly, and the speed was not slow, it was impossible to escape Ethan's pursuit at the speed of a sailboat, and Xiao Ou's size was very small, and ordinary people couldn't find it if he wanted to hide, plus during this time he also knew that this little thing was ghostly, had extremely high intelligence and could communicate with people normally, such a task was not difficult for it.
Then Logan saw Ethan and the kitten-like thing telling him to 'take care of the house', and then the little thing stretched out his paw and gestured, and Ethan saw it and gestured back with a finger...... The little thing tilted its head and continued to firmly compare its paws!
β......β
This picture is a bit subversive, Logan turned around and carefully controlled the Goddess of Dawn to the planned docking position, his skills were not good, he hurriedly parked the ship in the planned location, and Logan, who breathed a sigh of relief, used the console to anchor and moored, and then went to set up a gangplank to prepare to go ashore.
After getting these things done, and negotiating the terms with Xiao Ou, Ethan walked over with two backpacks, and this time he had already changed into the magic suit in advance.
Logan also briefly sorted out the equipment here, compared to Ethan's magic props, Rogan now chooses more thermal weapons, an M series assault rifle, two pistols, a number of grenades and enough ammunition, the rest of the space is used to carry food and water, no first-aid medicine, and no melee weapons.
Ethan's backpack was full of miscellaneous items, plus the contents of the ring, which was enough to deal with any situation.
As for Laura, the little girl is now more like going on an outing, her bag is full of snacks and fruits, and most of the fruits on the Dawning are eaten by Laura as snacks, because both Ethan and Logan prefer meat food, and fruits are just eaten appropriately to avoid nutritional imbalance.
Ignoring the heavily armed Ethan and Logan, they looked like an adult taking the two young men of the family on a picnic, which Logan thought was very strange, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years, and even stunned for a while after stepping on the island, until Ethan called him back.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing. β
Ethan saw that Logan didn't want to say, and didn't deliberately ask, he walked in the front, with the Book of Inheritance, he could protect everyone as soon as he encountered a sudden situation, although Logan and Laura were not afraid of sneak attacks, but being able to completely preserve their combat effectiveness was also conducive to their counterattack, which was better than being abolished by the other party.
Laura walks in the middle, and Logan finishes.
Don't look at the two of them walking behind, this will not affect the detection ability of the two people, Logan's sense of smell is very strong, coupled with his own extraordinary senses and the sense of crisis cultivated on the battlefield, it is completely impossible for ordinary creatures to sneak up on him.
Ethan also used high-tech glasses to scout, and after moving for hours he found nothing, and nothing seemed to be seen on the island except that the grass was still green. What annoyed Ethan the most was that as they explored the island further, the grass grew taller and taller, starting with being trampled on the soles of their feet, slowly reaching the neck of their feet, and now reaching the height of their knees.
"It seems a bit inappropriate to go on like this. β
Ethan looked at the grass that was getting taller and taller, and at the same time looked up a few times into the distance, the endless grass green gently swayed with the sea breeze, making a pleasant rustling sound, this picture was very beautiful, coupled with the warm sun and cool sea breeze, he even had the idea of lying down and sleeping well.
"The grass is getting taller and taller, and the devil knows what is hidden in the grass, even if there are no creatures, what if there is a swamp underneath?"
This question had to be carefully considered, and Ethan was eager to find a stick or something to use to find a way, but after looking around, he was embarrassed to find that there was no such thing here.
"Forget it, let's be wronged. β
took out his wand easily, Ethan's most powerful output weapon at present, and it became a crutch used to explore the way, which Ethan kept poking and poking to ensure that the road in front of him was safe.
After a while, the journey was not as dull as it had been at the beginning, and Ethan would stop for a while to pick up the grass and observe the ground beneath his feet, and even dig with a shovel.
On such a plain island, if there is such an ore or something, it must be underground, and Ethan wants to determine whether it is soil or rock under his feet.
This method is not accurate, and can only be roughly explored, but Ethan and they did not find nothing, and they were actually dug up by Ethan A pool of clear water.
Looking at the shallow pit about one meter in diameter at the foot of the foot, the water gushing out of it, neither Logan nor Ethan had the presumptuous touch to touch it.
"I don't know why, I have a weird feeling that I can't put into words. β
Logan nodded, he originally wanted to hold Laura and prevent the little girl from making any rash moves, but he found that Laura was standing quietly next to her, staring at the spring in front of her with a serious face, and she was not as curious about everything as she was on the boat, so she went up for the first time.
Even Laura sensed something was wrong. β
Ethan looked at the two of them and looked back around. The surroundings are still the same calm as beforeβendless grass, warm sunshine and cool sea breeze, accompanied by the urge to sleep.
"Something is wrong!"
Ethan realized that something was wrong, his mental power was far beyond ordinary people, and he would not suddenly have the urge to sleep when he was well rested, even if the environment was good, at most he would lie down and enjoy a quiet time, and occasionally he could say that it was his own whim, but now he wanted to lie down and sleep more and more, which was enough to prove that the situation was wrong.
Taking out a small instrument from his waist, Ethan took a little water to test the ingredients, and the machine made by Tony Stark was very powerful, giving the results of the analysis in an instant, and the results were displayed directly on Ethan's glasses.
"How?"
Seeing Ethan's strange expression, he knew that something was wrong, and Ethan also gave an answer that surprised Logan.
"There is a lot of life in this water...... Actually, it's not accurate to say that this thing is water. β
"Oh?"
"It's like a living creature...... It became a liquid like water. β
