After a night of nonsense, the sun still rose as usual the next day, but it was a little different from the usual day, the weather was not very good today, a thin layer of clouds made the sunlight appear less sufficient, as if through a thin veil, and the sea breeze that became stronger also brought a little coolness.

"Bring thick clothes just in case. ”

I don't know if it will suddenly cool down to below freezing, Logan and Ethan both added a thick dress to their backpacks, and at the same time chose long sleeves for their tops, and then only the two of them got off the Dawn Goddess together.

After getting off the boat, Ethan gently tapped the side of his glasses and heard Diana's reply immediately.

"Everything is fine, if you lose communication for more than ten minutes, I'll go get you all back. ”

Diana stayed on the ship as the last hole card, and with her strength and ability to fly, she was even more convenient than Ethan in saving people.

"Remember, you can remotely activate a mental stimulation device on my glasses, if you don't respond to your contact for more than ten minutes, use this device first, it still doesn't work, and then you come out. ”

It seemed like a simple tweak, and the effect was roughly equivalent to someone pricking him with a needle to wake him up from his vision.

With this and the amulet he made, he had enough confidence to set foot on this island again.

"That Cleo is also ashore. ”

Logan and Ethan walked slowly towards the interior of the island, this time Logan also wore a pair of glasses, which had the same effect as Ethan's glasses, and also carried many amulets on his body.

This time he was very careful, although he knew that the other party was an invisible existence, he still habitually looked around, so he noticed that Cleo had left the Eternity and landed on the island earlier.

"He didn't have anyone else with him. ”

"It was a wise choice. ”

He had already seen that the equipment on Cleo's body could resist mental interference and energy attacks to a certain extent, but his crew did not have this kind of equipment, and it would only become a burden to follow him.

Before finding out where the mysterious power on this island comes from and how to solve it, the number of people is not of much significance, and Ethan just wants to cooperate with the Eternal to empty the supplies on the island after solving these troubles, so that their numerical advantage can be brought into play.

Deliberately slowed down, waited for Cleo to catch up, and after a brief greeting, Ethan handed over a few amulets.

"Carry it with you, you can avoid that kind of mental distraction. ”

Cleo didn't doubt Ethan's words, but just looked at the few inconspicuous things in his hand curiously, if it wasn't for Ethan to specifically explain the function of this thing, he would have regarded this as something Ethan picked up in the grass, it was too inconspicuous, maybe a few stones were better than this thing.

"Thank you. ”

"Now that we're exploring the island together, I don't want to be missing a helper for some reason. ”

As the group heads back into the depths of the island, Ethan receives inquiries from Diana every once in a while, and he gives feedback by holding his eyes.

Although I'm not sure if everything is really normal, it seems that they have gone a lot farther than the previous times.

Looking at the grass that had already reached his waist, Ethan gradually felt a particularly strong fluctuation.

"The place has a very exuberant life. ”

Ethan stopped, looked left and right, did not see the seaside like last time, he stood here and could clearly see the edge of the island, although the area of this island is not small, but the wide field of vision allows them to see the edge of the island in any direction.

"We're starting to get closer to the center. ”

"The grass in front seems to be higher. ”

Logan roughly observed that he was the tallest of the men, but he found that if he kept going, he might also be drowned in the grass.

"It's like a sea of grass. ”

Ethan didn't answer Cleo's words, but squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the soil, he found that the life energy in the soil was already strong and about to overflow, stronger than the puddle of water dug up before.

"I feel like we're close to the true heart of the island. ”

I don't know if this overflowing life energy can be used by him, theoretically this completely ownerless life force can be used directly, but when he tried to extract some of the life energy, he found that this energy could not be controlled by himself at all, and he still stayed in the soil.

"Do you want to move on?"

"We've come here, of course we have to continue. ”

Logan nodded, and took out two machetes from his backpack, in this case, the safest way is to cut down the grass in front of them, so as to open a path and leave a clear mark, so that they can easily find their way back.

As Logan kept cutting down the weeds in front of him, the three of them continued to approach the center of the island, but when they walked less than ten meters, Ethan, who looked back, grabbed Rogan and motioned him to stop.

"How?"

Ethan pointed behind him, and when Logan looked back, he immediately understood why Ethan had stopped him.

The weeds that had been cut down by him were growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the grass that had been cut down by Logan in the farthest distance had grown back to its original height, and it merged with the surrounding grass again, and there was no abnormality at all, as if Logan and they just walked over like this.

After such a moment's delay, even the grass that had just been cut down behind them grew again, and then the grass under their feet was also growing wildly, and several people were instantly overwhelmed by weeds, and if it wasn't so close that they could touch it with their hands, they couldn't even be sure where their companions were.

"The life energy here is extremely vigorous, and I feel that after you cut down these grasses, the life energy that has been staying in the land has fluctuated violently, replenishing the 'life force' that these grasses need, and restoring these grasses to their original appearance. ”

"Sounds familiar. ”

Ethan and Logan were relatively close, stretched out his finger and pointed to a position on Logan's belt, Logan immediately understood, isn't this the same as the 'big blood vial' made by Ethan using his own genes combined with that recovery potion?

The movements of the two men were relatively hidden, and with the interference of weeds, Cleo did not see it, he was surprised by the growth rate of this grass and the information revealed in Ethan's words.

"Life energy?"

Cleo looked down at the soil beneath his feet, although he couldn't accurately judge any energy like Ethan, but he could feel the huge amount of energy under his feet.

Ethan glanced at the amulet he was carrying, and found that the energy contained in the amulet was rapidly decreasing.

"We had to move faster, and the amulet was a little less effective than I expected. ”

Now they were a little clueless, and as they finally reached the center of the island, the grass that was almost two people tall had already submerged the crowd, and several people had to keep talking to determine their location to ensure that they would not suddenly disperse.

At the same time, it can be a hassle to determine the direction in such an environment, but Ethan and Logan have a lot of aids on the glasses they wear, barely ensuring that they don't deviate too much from the direction - or can get back on the right track as quickly as possible after they deviate from the direction.

When they finally stood at the center of the island, Ethan didn't know what to do.

"What is this?"

The center of the island is also a large area of grass, but there is a small spring in the very center, and the water is so clear that you can't see what the bottom of the spring is.

"About a meter in diameter, the water is clear, but you can't see the bottom and don't know how deep this spring is. ”

Ethan took out the analysis device again, expecting to come to the same conclusion as last time, but this time it turned out that what he was looking for was pure clear water, completely different from what he had dug up before.

"Shimizu?"

Because of the thing that was dug up before, Logan felt weird when he drank water during this time, and there was always a feeling that he was eating something, and when he saw the spring this time, he didn't come over at all, and he didn't even want to touch it, but he didn't expect Ethan to give such a conclusion.

Although Cleo was curious about the various strange things that Ethan had taken out, he didn't open his mouth at this time, just quietly observed all this, and at the same time wondered what Ethan was going to do.

Ethan looked at the spring in front of him, he knew he couldn't waste too much time here, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute. ”

Again, a small object was removed, a fusiform metal object about the size of a fist, and neither Logan nor Cleo knew what it was. Before he could ask, he saw Ethan throw something directly into the spring, and then tapped his finger at the frame of his glasses.

Small underwater detectors.

This thing is very technical, to concentrate a lot of things on such a small thing, and can also transfer data back normally, even with Tony Stark's ability, in the case of lack of time, it was made such a one, Ethan just habitually brought all the things Tony gave himself with him, but I didn't expect to use it today.

Through his glasses, he could receive the image from the probe, and it turned out that the spring was deeper than he had imagined, and the underwater probe sailed straight down for half an hour before he suddenly saw a piece of light, and then fell into an extremely open cavern with a thud.

He didn't care why the probe, who had descended all the way, had fallen into a cave with no water, and Ethan's attention was all drawn to the strange object in the picture.

"Looks like a plant?"
