Chapter 13 Crystals

Last time, I was halfway up the mountain and shared with you the embarrassing story of how a beetle had your tongue torn out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, beetles are no longer a threat to me now. For me now, they're just crawling proteins.

I'm on a small mountain that is close to the top. Here I found a bird's nest.

Fresh bird's nest. There is also a lot of guano scattered around.

But even so, I don't dislike it.

Fresh bird droppings meant that there might be something in this nest that I needed.

Bird eggs.

The bird that can build a nest on a high ground, with the exception of some species in certain situations, is the eagle.

Eagle's egg.

Bird's nests aren't particularly clean. And when I got to the nest, I realized that the owner of the nest must have been infected with parasites. Beneath the weeds in the nest, I saw a dense mass of insects the size of sesame seeds.

Don't tell me these bugs have protein, too. Lao Tzu knows. But you can't get off your mouth.

That kind of intensity, even if I am a normal person, I can't help but arouse goosebumps all over my body when I see it.

This parasite usually attaches to the underside of the bird's feathers and absorbs nutrients by constantly biting the bird's skin.

An adult and robust bird, if infected with parasites. It is absolutely impossible to live to old age and die. Their only fate is to wait to be slowly sucked dry by the parasite. In the end, it becomes a push of bones.

Of course, that's not what I'm concerned about. All I care about is whether the two eggs in this nest can be eaten.

After a quick confirmation, I was able to assure the integrity of the two eggs. And it still seems to be the feeling that it has not been long after birth.

I'm going to take both eggs.

But when I was about to leave, I was a little hesitant.

This bird is infected with parasites, so it must not have lived long. Now that I've taken all the eggs, isn't it dead?

Amitabha, it's good. The poor monk will let you renew the incense.

A bird's egg, not much bigger than a quail egg, was clearly not enough to replenish the energy I needed for the day.

But I can't help it, I've already left that place. And since they have promised others to leave an incense, they naturally can't go back.

I hope the little guy that hatches out of the egg is a male.

Continue on the road.

Bah.

Keep going up.

The current altitude should be about five or six hundred meters above sea level. In fact, I can overlook most of the island at my height. But since we've already arrived here, it's better to go up.

The clothes are all off, and the pants can't be picked up.

In about half an hour's journey I will reach the top of the mountain. But before that, I looked down for a while during the break. During this time, I discovered something.

In a forest to the southeast, something seemed to be reflecting.

Naturally, given what I'm telling now, it's impossible for me to see what the hell is in that place. Only through the faint visual effect can you know that there is something reflecting in that place.

It's a hope. Absolute hope.

Reflective, what does this mean? Something that reflects light, at least has to be smooth. And a thing that could bounce light so far through the cover of a dense forest was definitely not that small.

Something reflective. I can't think of anything other than water on this desert island. But according to the topographical analysis of that area, it is absolutely impossible to form such a large pool. And based on the distance, I can also guess that if I need to see this reflective point from at least a kilometer away, the waterhole should be at least about three square meters in size.

Not to mention the topographical factors, it is impossible to form such a large pool. Even if it could form, it would be impossible for the temperature on this island to keep a puddle of water from evaporating for so long.

Having said all that, what I want to say is.

If the reflective thing in that place is not a waterhole, then there must be something foreign there. This thing definitely doesn't belong on this island. Although the power of nature is infinite, there is absolutely no way to create a smooth object of this size.

I'm going to go to that place and see what the hell is going on. My heart said.

But the problem now is that I'm on the verge of reaching the top. In a few minutes or so, I will be able to stand on the highest point of this small island and completely overlook this small island. And by analyzing the terrain, I might be able to find a way out of here.

But before that, a tangled question arises.

Although this island is a small island, it is quite large. It's only a tiny area on this island. Is there really someone like me, who somehow came to this place and was trapped on it?

Maybe this reflective thing is a signal that someone is doing underneath?

I get excited when I think about it. But I calmed down immediately.

That area is a forest. Even if you don't have the knowledge of survival, you can't choose to place reflective points in the forest. But if it's not people there, what is there to shine there?

No matter, it's definitely not human. If it's human, then why didn't I find any signs of human activity after walking along the coastline? And the seaside of this small island, every 10 kilometers or so, is a temporary shelter that I built myself. If someone is stranded on this island, he'll be able to discover my masterpiece. Then at the same time, he will definitely use all kinds of signs that humans can understand, indicating that there are still humans on this island.

So, that place is not people. It's a thing.

This is the result of my extrapolation to the end.

It's a thing, it's easy to do. Things don't have long legs, so they can't run. Wait until I come down from the hill and look at the past.

Once I had made up my mind, I continued to climb.

And it was this decision of mine that allowed me to discover a huge secret of the island.

This secret almost made me die here. And this secret is beyond my knowledge. Or rather, it's not within my comprehension at all.

This thing is inside the crater. It's something like a crystal.

However, if this thing is really a crystal, it is not difficult to explain that crystal appeared inside the volcano. But this crystal is too big. This enormity has surpassed any crystal I've ever seen. The height of this crystal has reached the height of a two-story building.

And if it's just a crystal with a different height than any other, that's fine.

The strange thing is that this crystal, it is suspended inside the volcano.
