Chapter 331 331, Beware of Skeletons
"The terrain here is so strange!" Lin Qingxue looked at the unfamiliar terrain in front of her, and came out of the forest, this is a desert, all the sand is everywhere you look, you can't see anything else, not even a single grass.
"On the island...... How can there be such a big desert?" Han Xuening didn't know very well, the desert was endless, stretching to the end of the field of vision, and it was impossible to measure how big the desert was with his eyes.
"There isn't any desert depicted on the treasure map, is there?" Qin Fengyi crouched on the ground and picked up a touch of fine sand, which was golden in color and very hot to touch.
"No, it's just a big white space. Han Xuening opened the treasure map, and everyone gathered together to check the treasure map, and there were no desert marks found on it.
"Strange ......"
Qin Fengyi stared ahead, this boundless desert is very strange, it stands to reason that the formation of subtropical islands is formed by the eruption of submarine volcanoes, after tens of millions of years of evolution, the dust in the air gradually formed mud, covering the volcanic rocks.
The island's flora is a result of the subtropical climate, and many of them are left behind by migratory seabirds, whose seeds take root on the mainland or other islands, forming a complex plant system.
However, there is a desert on the island, which is really incredible.
What to do?
Crossing the desert or finding another way?
"I have a proposal, desert area, let's not get involved casually, or we are looking for another way, maybe we are going in the wrong direction. Han Xuening looked at some bones on the edge of the desert, these bones have been here for a long time, they look like the bones of wild boars, these bones have been severely affected by weathering and have begun to decay.
A lizard burrowed through the bones, perhaps because the desert was too hot, and the creature kept his legs on the ground.
Its left front leg and right hind leg are dangling in the air, allowing it to temporarily break away from the hot sand and then quickly switch legs.
"Let's go back first!" Qin Fengyi led the team back, but Scarface seemed to see something funny, this guy was also quite curious about lizards, and was chasing lizards to the desert.
The lizard, which often switches legs, is quite agile, and when it sees a huge honey badger rushing towards it, it turns and runs quickly, and it encounters other creatures in the process.
A snake!
A snake that buried itself in the sand suddenly attacked and bit the lizard that was fleeing for its life, this snake resembled a cobra, probably one of them, after biting the lizard, it quickly injected it with venom.
In an instant, the lizard stopped struggling and slowly died.
When the cobra was about to swallow the lizard, the honey badger attacked, biting the back of the snake's neck, and after several shakes of the head, the cobra died.
The honey badger is the nemesis of snakes, and poisonous snakes are no exception, this guy is not afraid of snake venom, and Scarface is very sinister, knowing that from the back of the snake's neck, it bites the bones of the poisonous snake in one bite.
After the honey badger caught the cobra, it ran over, as if to share food with its owner, but the desert cobra was too small to fit a few people's teeth.
"Eat it yourself!" Qin Fengyi stroked Scarface's piercing head, this guy's hair grew like a wire brush.
"Let's go back, this desert is so terrible that poisonous snakes can hide in the sand. Lin Qingxue looked at the vast desert and shrunk her neck.
Lizards will use their feet to disperse the heat from the surface of the sand, cobras will hide in the scorching sand, and the surface of the sand is hot, the temperature inside is at least much lower than the surface of the sand.
The cobra hides in the sand, first to avoid the heat, and the second is to hide from predators and hunts, and its guard rabbit successfully catches a lizard, but this guy ignores the honey badger on the side.
"Let's go, let's go back to the jungle first. Qin Fengyi led everyone to the jungle, I have to say, the jungle and the desert are two worlds, or it is more refreshing here, there are gusts of wind blowing, blowing on the cheeks is really comfortable.
As for the sand in front of you, standing there is like being in a stove, and the temperature of the sand is even more frightening, at least 50 degrees, which is similar to the sand on the beach by the sea.
Han Xuening was looking at the treasure map intently, and the beautiful teacher determined it several times, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this direction.
Qin Fengyi cleaned up under a big tree, and when he used a seedling knife to pluck the fallen leaves, he cleared out many insects, and there were countless scorpions and centipedes.
After clearing out a place, Qin Fengyi cut down a few more trees next to him, using these as seats to bear their gravity, and only needed to arrange the wooden sticks together.
"It's so hot, do you want to drink some water?" Lin Qingxue took out bamboo water, which was brought to drink on the road, in order to reduce the weight, she carried a net bag on Saturday and Sunday, which was full of water.
"Let's have a bottle!" took the cool bamboo water, Qin Fengyi drank it happily.
Recently, there has been a lot of rain, and the bamboo in the bamboo forest has absorbed a lot of water from the roots, and the water is clear and free of impurities, with a faint bamboo fragrance.
There is a river on one side of the bamboo forest, which was dug up by Qin Fengyi and them, and because of the heavy rain in the past few days, the river water is turbid, and it needs to be purified and boiled before it can be drunk.
Last time, I made a mechanical tool out of bamboo, and it was bamboo, and the water released from the bamboo had to be more than a dozen liters.
Han Xuening has been looking at the treasure map, the beautiful teacher is a little confused, the direction is correct, why is there a desert here, does it really take you to cross the desert to reach the center of the island.
"Teacher Han, don't get entangled, drink saliva and rest first, I'll check around later, I really can't find the way, let's cross the desert, the best way is to wait until the evening to cross." Qin Fengyi looked around, but he didn't find a road, and beyond the jungle was the desert.
The desert is unusually hot during the day, and a lot of water is lost when crossing here, and it is not known what kind of terrain will be behind the desert.
This island is not as simple as imagined!
"Okay!" Han Xuening snuggled up to Qin Fengyi's side very obediently, while Lin Qingxue tilted her head and looked at something.
"Is there a yellow cloth over there?" Lin Qingxue pointed to the distance, and Wangcai and Yayale also seemed to have noticed, and they smelled an unusual smell.
"Let's take a look!"
Qin Fengyi took the lead and came to the place where the yellow cloth was hung, and there was a line of words written on the ground here, but unfortunately it was in English.
"Be careful...... Skeletons?"
