Chapter 449: Crater Lake
The volcano that Fang Jinyan was referring to didn't look very far, and then when he walked up, he found that the road was quite long.
The terrain of the mountainous area is rugged, which often makes people misestimate the distance, Zhou Rong and others thought that they could walk over it in just one or two hours, but the fact is that they walked for most of the day before climbing to the top of the mountain.
Everyone was as tired as dogs, and the expressions of several girls felt like they were about to cry.
However, when a picturesque lake suddenly appeared in front of them, they instantly felt that this qiē was worth it, it was worth it!
It's a lake of breathtaking beauty, and the first impression that comes to mind is simply Lake Geneva, Switzerland!
The surface of the lake surrounded by a whole piece of emerald green is clear and pure, and there is no bottom, but you can see fish seven or eight meters deep underwater, and the tender green of the lake is full of vitality, and the emerald green of the clear lake water compete with each other, and the color is extremely saturated and vivid.
Not far away, in a shallow water, inhabited by countless seabirds, land in flocks above the surface to drink fresh water and catch fish and shrimp.
As soon as Fang Jinyan and the others appeared, they immediately sensed the danger, and they flew away in an instant, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, which was extremely spectacular!
"It's so beautiful! So beautiful! It's like a fairyland. The girls exclaimed.
"Yes, those birds are so fat, we must catch a few of them and stew them in soup!"
"There are so many fish in the water, so fat!" Men's concerns are markedly different
"I said can you stop thinking about eating all the time, it's too disappointing"
"Hehe, if you don't have the ability, don't eat them in the future."
"Why? I can't communicate with you, it's a completely different matter! Zhou Rong said disdainfully.
That is to say. You think these birds are cute and beautiful, but you don't hesitate to eat them. ”
"You're right. That's it! Zhou Rong admitted it confidently.
Everyone was in a good mood, and when they were playing and laughing, Fang Jinyan kept looking around expressionlessly.
"Be quiet and be vigilant, there may be tigers here." He suddenly lowered his voice and said to the crowd.
Everyone was instantly frightened and quiet, they were all so excited that they forgot for a moment that there might be a danger of zài!
Fang Jinyan had already told them that where there is a water source, there must be a large number of animals to drink water. And the survival of these animals will also attract some predators at the top of the food chain, who will lurk in hidden places and sneak attack the prey that comes here!
"Look at this, this is supposed to be the carcass of a medium-sized deer, it has a broken neck bone, it was obviously hunted by other animals, and judging by its skeleton, it weighs at least 100 kilograms. Being able to hunt prey of this size is definitely not something that ordinary carnivores can do, and considering the environment here, other beasts of prey are unlikely. If nothing else, it's tigers. Fang Jinyan pointed to a pile of white bones in the shrub layer that had completely rotted.
Lions generally live in savannahs, crocodiles do not appear at too high altitudes, and if they are, they are not. The body should not be on the shore.
"Aren't we dangerous, then?" Zhu Qianqian said a little scared.
She thought of her size, if she encountered a beast and wanted to run away. She's definitely the last one to run.
Well, Xu Xiaoyao, who has always pretended to be transparent, may be slower than her. I hope that the tiger can also be a transparent person for her
"Fortunately, you don't have to be afraid, tigers generally live alone, and tropical tigers are generally smaller, their combat effectiveness is very average, and they mainly hunt large and medium-sized prey by sneak attacks, so as long as we are vigilant enough, we should be able to deal with it," Fang Jinyan said.
If someone else said this, most of the people would think it was too bragging, but Fang Jinyan had already led a team to torture and kill wild boars, so when he said this, everyone was relieved.
Of course, they no longer dared to be careless, and they all concentrated their energies, and were fully vigilant against possible ambushes.
"Where are we going now? Where is the best place for us to live? Zhou Rong asked Fang Jinyan.
"I don't know, let's look for it." Fang Jinyan shook his head and replied.
"You don't know, do you?" Zhou Rong said with a surprised face.
"Fang Jinyan doesn't know what to say, this girl already regards him as an omniscient god."
"But to be honest, the vegetation here is really lush, and I guess we can find some crops that are very useful for us." Zhu Qianqian suddenly said with emotion.
"This is normal, many volcanic eruptions are very fertile for ash, and the most fertile farmland on Sumatra and Kaowa Islands in Indonesia is in the volcanic area." Zheng Chen seemed to have some understanding of this aspect.
"Also, there's a lot of fresh water here, there's a lot of birds to inhabit it, and bird droppings are good natural fertilizers." Zhao Lan added.
"Yes, I guess the guano here can even form phosphate, and if we grow crops in the future, we can dig it up and use it as fertilizer." Zheng Chen nodded and said, "Alas, to be honest, if you can find my girlfriend, then even if you live here for the rest of your life, it is actually quite good." ”
Zhou Rong's first reaction was to complain that you were too unfilial, and you didn't even care about your parents? But I held back.
In the past, she categorically wouldn't bear it, she dared to vomit anyone's groove, anyway, no one dared to beat her at that time, but now it's hard to say.
On this island, there are no laws, no police, and even morality is changing invisibly.
In fact, she had provoked people because of her indiscriminate complaints, and if Liu Hongjun and a few others hadn't stopped her, she might have been beaten.
So she is learning to be obedient now, although sometimes she can't help but quarrel with others, but the tone of her words is much more restrained, and she never dares to say anything that shouldn't be said.
"I don't know what she's doing now, with her ability, I'm afraid it's impossible to survive here." Zheng Chen said worriedly.
"Don't worry, if your girlfriend is like us, there should be a lot of people to help her, there are still many good people in this world." Zhao Lan comforted him and said.
"I hope so," Zheng Chen said with a wry smile.
Of course, he hopes that good people can help his girlfriend, but he knows that things may not necessarily be so good, and it is really hard to say whether there are good or bad people in this world.
"Don't worry, when we settle down here, we will immediately have a plan to explore the island, although the area of this island is not small, it is not vast and boundless, if she is on the island, it will not be long before she can find her." Fang Jinyan said.
This was originally his own plan, not specifically to help Zheng Chen find a girlfriend, he was not so enthusiastic and noble.
"Okay, I understand, it's useless to be in a hurry." Zheng Chen nodded and said that he was still relatively sensible.
"Yes, we have to be well prepared, and now the most important thing for us is to find a suitable place to live, find a stable source of food, and preferably find some better weapons and tools, but this seems impossible," Zhao Lan also said.
"That's not necessarily, maybe we'll find iron ore and then we'll be able to make our own steel." Zhang Hongbing said optimistically.
"You're thinking too much, with the condition that we have nothing now, it's a fantasy to try steel! And where do we go to find iron ore? Zheng Chen shook his head again and again and said.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't, Brother Fang is so powerful, he must have a way, I've seen Mysterious Island before, and their conditions are similar to ours, but people not only make steel, but also make gunpowder and telegraphs and other things, they can, Brother Fang should be able to do it." Zhang Hongbing retorted.
Fang Jinyan shook his head and said: "You think too highly of me, I just know a little bit more things, but without the right tools and raw materials, no matter how much I know, it is impossible to make these things you say." ”
It's not that he's modest, it's a fact, he's not omnipotent. "The Mysterious Island" is just a novel after all, and from a professional point of view, it is somewhat unrealistic.
Besides, the tools and materials that the protagonists in the book had at the beginning were much more advanced and abundant than they are now.
They had a boat and guns at the beginning, but Fang Jinyan and the others didn't even have an axe now! (To be continued......)
