Chapter 43: The Deadly River
At this moment, Mai Lao stopped, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Look, there are green plants near that palace, it's incredible." He was still so calm, if it were someone else, he would have been excited.
"It's quite shocking, the whole island is yellow sand, only there are green plants near this palace, I have to say, the owner of this palace is really looking for a place, it's a bit interesting." Chang Shan said with a wicked smile.
"It's an oasis, it's an oasis, captain, it's an oasis ahead."
At this time, Martin's men ran from behind, their eyes were about to light up, and Martin hurriedly followed, "Oasis? Will there be an oasis in this hellish place? Unlikely, right? Martin was visibly skeptical, but he was still wary.
"How could it be, wouldn't that be? Shaoyu, did you see that? "A Malaysian sailor, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Shaoyu is still the same dead face, "I see it, it may be our hallucination, or it may be a mirage-like existence, how can there be an oasis in this place, there will be nothing but yellow sand and heat." "He seems to be a little desperate, and his whole person is transgender.
"You're sick, we won't be with you, brothers, let's go." The man shouted, and the sailors rushed towards the oasis, looking like they were about to die, but now they were all in good spirits.
This may be the effect of Wangmei's thirst quenching, if it weren't for seeing this oasis, how could they have changed so much, and the desire to survive of these people was all stimulated.
"Come back soon." Martin shouted, but unfortunately he, the captain, could not speak strongly, and the men galloped straight over like wild horses on the loose.
"Let's get over there." Mai Lao greeted him and ran over first.
The rest of us also hurried to follow behind, our speed was obviously not as fast as those few people, which proved that we have not been carried away by this oasis, and we have not stimulated our inner potential, once people burst out of potential, it will be very useful in a short time, and it is easy to be completely paralyzed if it can be used for less than half an hour.
Thirty minutes later, we arrived at this oasis, it was more beautiful than I had imagined, it was a little far away, I couldn't see it very clearly, there were not only trees here, but also some flowers and plants whose names I didn't know, the trees were on the outermost part, they could be five or six meters high, they looked a little similar to coconut palms on the outside, but there were some differences, the leaves of these trees were very large, they were very long, they were almost on the ground, they were a very strange tree, probably a specialty of the island.
Inside the trees are flowers and plants, about a meter high, very dense, covering the whole area, the grass is very strong, very wide, the color is also bright, the green is like the painting, and the smell of flowers is stronger, before we arrived here, I have already smelled this fragrance, this is a special fragrance, I can't describe it, and ordinary floral fragrance is completely two concepts, it seems to have some kind of magic, after smelling this fragrance, it will make you feel very comfortable, the whole body is relaxed, It's as if the whole space is virtual, with the illusion of a fairyland.
And in the middle of these trees and flowers, there is a natural small pond, this pond can be about the size of two football fields, the lake is very calm, there is no trace of waves, just like a mirror, you can see your own reflection, the water in this pond is still very clear, I can clearly see that there are some colorful small fish swimming again, and even feel that you can see the bottom of the water, these strange little fish are very beautiful, but I have never seen such a fish, and the fish in the ordinary lake water has a difference between heaven and earth, The group of fish looked more like birds, with fins almost the size of their bodies, as if they were soaring in the water.
And the most important thing is that since we walked here, the sun actually hid in the clouds, the temperature dropped a lot in an instant, the air is not hot anymore, when the breeze blows, there is even a trace of coolness, it is simply a great contrast with the previous fire weather, it is too unimaginable, also on an island, the temperature difference is so big, it is incomprehensible.
And in the middle of this pond there is a small bridge, is the kind of wooden suspension bridge, looks like some years, walk from this small bridge, behind is the palace, and the building of this palace, to give me the first feeling is grand, too grandiose, this palace looks like a copy of the Forbidden City, only it is much smaller than the Forbidden City, but carefully look at it, there is a certain difference with the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is not exactly the same imitation, it seems to have some meaning, I don't know what it is.
At first glance, it looks perfect, the birds are singing and the flowers are like heaven on earth, but this kind of scene appears here, it makes me feel very weird, the more this great contrast, the more likely it is to be dangerous, I no longer remind myself all the time to keep a cool head, absolutely not half careless.
The environment can change a person's heart, this place is so beautiful, if it weren't for this island, I wouldn't hesitate to get excited, but now, I'm not a little excited, but I feel more nervous, everything here is so evil, it's so quiet, it's scary.
"It's so cool in here, it's so comfortable." Li Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I finally feel cool, this is really a treasure here." Jenny was standing in the grass, enjoying the sensation as well.
Li Xin opened her eyes, and suddenly wanted to wash her face with river water, I stepped forward and grabbed her, "Wait, look at it again, this place is very wrong." ”
"Wouldn't it? Everything looks normal. Li Xin said a little funny, she has always been shrewd, but she would make such a low-level mistake.
"Brother Yi is right, there will be such a beautiful oasis in this ghost place, if there is no problem, I don't believe it. Jiao Ba snorted coldly beside him and said.
"It shouldn't be all right, right? Brother Yi, look at a few of them, enjoy it so much. Junko casually pointed to the front and said.
Martin and his men were squatting on the edge of the pond, washing their faces with the water from the pond, and they seemed to be very happy, and they yelled from time to time, and one of the Filipinos was shouting to go down and take a shower to deal with the torture caused by the heat.
"Enjoy? For a while there are more enjoyable for them. Jiao Ba said lukewarmly.
"What do you mean? Is there danger all around us? I looked sideways at him, but quietly pulled out my pistol.
"I don't know, but it feels weird here, it won't be that simple, Mai Lao, let's be careful." Jiao Ba reminded everyone around him.
"Captain, the water is so cool, we should go down and take a shower, make sure it's comfortable." The Filipino shouted.
Martin stretched out his hand to greet him, "Come back, just wash your face, and stay away from the river." 'He's always been wary and since he got here, Martin has obviously changed and grown a lot.
"Don't worry, Captain, it's just a small pond, it'll be fine." Another sailor said.
Shaoyu stood behind Martin and whispered something in his ear, only to see that Martin's face was getting more and more ugly, just like eating Yoneda, he immediately shouted, "You guys hurry up for me, hurry up, I order you." ”
Three of the five sailors came back reluctantly, and only two were still washing their faces by the pool, as if they had not heard the shouting.
Martin was a little anxious all of a sudden, "Are you all deaf?" You two hurry up and come back to me, the river is dangerous. ”
One of the sailors looked back at him, laughed and said, "Hahaha, Captain, I said you were too nervous, didn't you?" It's a pond, it's fine. ”
Another sailor filled the pond with a jug, apparently intending to drink the water.
Mai Lao suddenly shouted, "Martin, stop him, don't let him drink the water from the river." "Mai Lao, who has not spoken, has finally spoken, since he walked here, he has been observing the surrounding situation, his eyes have become sharper, there seems to be some secret hidden inside, people can't see through, Mai Lao himself is changing, although it is a very subtle change, but I still feel it.
When Martin heard the shout, he hurriedly picked up the grass and walked quickly, and several of us quickly followed, a bad premonition was rapidly sublimating, and the danger signal was getting stronger and stronger, and this seemingly calm place was likely to have a huge hidden danger.
The grass was too high to run straight over, Martin was already fast, but he was still a step too late, and the sailor had already drunk the water from the pond.
Martin stepped forward and knocked the kettle out of his hand and yelled, "Holyshit, are you crazy? This water may be poisonous and will kill you. ”
"Captain, you... Are you concerned? The water in this pond is so cool, and there are fish swimming in it, how can it be poisonous? The sailor was still a little angry, and said very depressedly.
Mai Lao said behind Martin, "Isn't the water poisonous?" It's better to be careful. ”
"Mai Lao, this is a desert oasis, it won't be poisonous, and you are too ......"
When the sailor said this, he suddenly froze, and his face immediately turned green, not a little bit green, but the kind of momentary effort, 'brushing' turned green, at that time we were startled, everyone was stunned, at most it was two or three seconds of effort, he stared at his eyes and shouted out' Poisonous', but he didn't shout these two words, and then he vomited, and spit out a bunch of green things from his mouth, and all of us were stunned, and hurriedly retreated, and the ghost thing that spit out was like an earthworm, actually crawling around in the grass, and his body was crooked, and he fell to the edge of the pond with an ordinary sound.
