Chapter 305: Exploration
The city wall is about ten meters high, and the front is densely covered with sharp barbs, and many patrolling tribal warriors are also hidden above the wall.
Mawson didn't choose to enter from here, he climbed up the cliffs on either side, and then made a big circle into the inner valley.
Hiding in the corner and secretly observing, it really made Mawson discover a strange thing.
As Hank said, the inhabitants of this place sleep in trees, and the thatched huts built in the middle of the gathering place are just the places where they go about their daily lives, but there is not a single bed.
They seem to be asleep, subconsciously away from the ground, as if there is some terrible existence hidden underground.
By the faint moonlight and the faint torches, Mawson's eyesight was not affected in the slightest, and he slowed his steps and walked through the gathering place like a ghost.
After observing during the day, he basically knew the situation here, and in his opinion, there was no need to check the living area in the middle, but inside an iron ship deep in the valley, it seemed that the hidden was the temple that Sun Lin mentioned.
Also, near the mountain behind, there is a hidden cave where several strong warriors are guarded on either side.
These warriors were visibly much stronger than the rest of the tribe, nearly two meters tall, with masks made of unknown materials on their faces, like demons in the dim light of fire.
After thinking about it, Mawson quietly approached the broken iron ship, and heard Hank say that he had fallen on the island in 1944, and that there was a Japanese soldier who came to the island with him.
During World War II, Japan and the United States were hostile countries, but they took off their military uniforms, and on this isolated island, the two became the best friends, and they tried to leave the island eight times, but all failed.
On the last time he left the island, Junping was even attacked by a skeleton crawler and died tragically on the spot.
From then on, Hank basically gave up the idea of leaving the island completely, until this time Mawson and the others landed on the island.
Looking around, the entire settlement was built in a valley, the only gap was blocked by the wall, and the interior was a large area of water, except that there was an area in the middle for the tribe to live.
Looking at the structure of the iron ship, the whole has been damaged by more than 40 years of wind erosion, and it is obvious that it cannot withstand any kind of movement.
But the surrounding environment obviously does not exist for the ship to dock, could it be that the ship still can't fall from the sky?
Mawson carefully inspected the iron ship, and the surface of the hull was intact, but it was badly corroded, and there was no sign of impact.
"And how did the ship get here?"
"Could it be that King Kong helped move here?"
"But King Kong 40 years ago may not have the current size, and in addition, according to the mode of getting along between the two, there is no need for him to do this."
"Could it be King Kong's parents?"
Mawson was confused.
Finding nothing to look for, he crept to the top of the iron ship and slipped into the gap above.
The entire hull has been completely hollowed out, leaving only the outer shell, while the interior has been transformed into a place similar to prayer and sacrifice.
After a closer look, Mawson didn't notice anyone, and he slowed down and jumped lightly to the ground.
On either side of the hull are stone pillars depicted with an unknown white dye, depicting the struggle between King Kong and the Skeleton Creeper over thousands of years.
The battle ended with the Skeleton Creepers destroying the King Kong race.
What makes Mawson feel a little strange is how ordinary humans, with primitive weapons, have basically no power to fight back against the skeleton creepers, how they have survived thousands of years of hunting.
Is it only the protection of the King Kong race?
It really doesn't make sense.
And Mawson never believed in giving for no reason, and judging from King Kong's temperament, his race was not a pacifist.
There must be some special reason for this that he has to protect this tribe and the people who live in it.
Deep in the hull is a separate area, with stone pillars above which depict King Kong's hands pinned, and the islanders sheltered under his arms.
Although it is only a simple outline, the King Kong on the stone pillar is lifelike, especially the eyes, which are like living creatures.
Mawson took a few steps forward, and was just about to reach out to touch it, but suddenly heard a loud voice: "Outsider, stop!" ”
Mo Sen's cold hair stood on end, the muscles on his body were tense, and he didn't have time to think about it, he jumped out in an instant, he rolled on the ground a few times in a row, and leaned against the edge of the hull.
If anything unexpected happened, he turned around and broke the hull and rushed out into the open.
The expected attack was not near, and Mawson looked around and found no one, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and took a few steps forward, covering his metal left arm in front of his chest.
"Who is it?"
A sigh rang out.
Only then did Mawson notice that the sound was not coming from his ears at all, but was directly perceived by him in some special way.
"Communicating through brainwaves? That's a bit of a weird thing, isn't it? ”
Thinking of the way Hank communicated with the elder-looking old man during the day, Mawson had some guesses in his mind.
"Wait, if that's the case, will he know what I'm thinking?" Mawson was startled, pushing his perception to the limit, carefully probing every space inside.
But nothing was found.
This kind of strange situation was also encountered for the first time, and it was inevitable that he would be furious in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, took a few steps forward and walked in front of King Kong's totem again.
"Click!"
There was a sound of stones turning, and the ground under the Vajra totem scattered on both sides, revealing a downward passage, and then out of the passage came an old man with a withered description.
It was the one who communicated with Hank during the day.
I don't know if it was because the light was too dim or for some other reason, the blue lines on the old man's face were faintly dark, and some of them seemed to have some black threads.
The old man's eyes were pitch black, as if a drop of ink had been poured into it, and he didn't open his mouth, but the voice was clearly perceived by Mosen.
"Outsiders, this is not your welcome, please leave."
Mo Sen didn't feel any strong aura fluctuations from the old man, but he didn't take it lightly and remained on guard.
"During the day, you told Hank that he was going to expel me, can you tell me why?"
Mawson spoke.
"You have demonic aura in you, and something else." The old man stretched out his withered fingers and pointed to Mawson's right hand.
"There's a greedy creature out there."
"These things will stimulate some terrible monsters and make them crawl out of the depths of the earth!"
"Monsters?"
"You mean those of Vajra's predators, the skeleton creepers?"
The old man shook his head, "It's the servants who serve them, and the enemies of our entire tribe!" ”
He was obviously reluctant to mention the name of the skeleton creeper, but what he said surprised Mawson.
