The island looks huge, with dense jungle and what appears to be a mountain at the other end, except for a sandy beach along the coast.

If there are people on the island, we can come and help fix the boat as soon as it docks, and then we can move freely.

But before I could tell everyone the good news, I heard Four Eyes say depressedly, "There seems to be no one on this island." ”

I said no, can there be no one in such a big place? So I took a telescope and looked at the east and west sides of the island, and it was really as Four Eyes said, not to mention people, there were not even a few living creatures on the island.

After being disappointed, I discussed with Professor Wu that it would be better to go up and have a look first, at least I could rest my feet and replenish some fresh water or something.

Even if you're lucky, you don't know how long it will take to drift back the way you came, so it's always a good idea to stock up on fresh water.

I woke up the sleeping owner and asked him to find a way to get to the shore.

Apparently the shipowner was also surprised by the place in front of him, and hurriedly got up to control all the equipment that could be used. Fortunately, it was a tailwind, and we leaned smoothly on the west side of the island under the force of the wind.

Everyone climbed ashore excitedly, and after last night's wind and waves, everyone felt extremely cordial to this "land" in the vast sea.

The shipowner dropped anchor and insisted on staying on the ship, he was afraid that if something happened again, his precious ship would be completely useless, so he had to stick to his belongings no matter what.

We didn't see him as joking, so we didn't force it, but told him to pay attention to safety.

Han Sen also left his flare gun to him, so that he could signal us when he was in danger.

Then we lay down on the beach on the shore and rested for a while, and Professor Wu asked me and Four Eyes to go out to find water, and Jin Hu and Han Sen were responsible for guarding the surroundings to prevent wild beasts from suddenly coming out to attack.

Four Eyes and I walked slowly along the island with a large bucket of water, surprisingly quiet, with a large subtropical jungle on the west side of the island and several extinct volcanoes on the east side of the island.

Four Eyes said that geographically this area is on the edge of the Pacific Rim volcanic and seismic belt, and although we drifted at sea overnight, the approximate extent should still be in the Taiwan Strait.

I asked him, "Can you find this island on the map?" He replied: "I'm not sure about this, as far as I know, the islands in the Taiwan Strait basically have populations, and even if they don't, there are troops stationed on them, and this island doesn't even have an army, so it must have not been developed." ”

If this is the case, our situation will be a little delicate, and for well-known reasons, this part of the Taiwan Strait is relatively sensitive, and it would be easy to say that if we were bumped into by our own people, it would be a bit troublesome if we ran into the other side.

On the other hand, we only had enough food for a week, and the boat broke down, and if we didn't get rescue, the situation would be unimaginable.

Seeing that I was frowning, Siyan comforted: "Aren't we okay now, let's find water first." No water, it's worse than being hungry. ”

I thought to myself, it's useless to be in a hurry, I still have to figure out a way with the big guy, so I concentrate on finding water with him.

Four Eyes is worthy of studying geography, and it didn't take long to find a fresh water source by virtue of the direction of the landform and plants.

The two of us filled the bucket we had brought and were about to leave, when Four Eyes suddenly said, "What do you think is that?" ”

I followed the direction of his finger and saw that there was a stone tablet more than ten meters away from the water source, and there seemed to be words on it.

I hurriedly went over and took a closer look, only to see three words engraved on it with a small seal - Luoyan Island.

The children of our Xu family have to study for a period of time to learn the small seal from a young age, so I am very sure that I am not mistaken.

This made me excited, could it be that this is the rocky island that Professor Wu is looking for?

The four eyes also wondered when they heard it, this is too coincidental, and they arrived at their destination while drifting, which is simply crooked!

So we put down the bucket and ran straight back to the makeshift camp, and Professor Wu saw that we came back in a panic and hurried up to ask what was going on.

I excitedly told him that the water source had been found, and so had Rockfall Island!

Professor Wu was taken aback, grabbed my arm and asked, "Falling Rock Island?" Where is it? ”

I stepped on the sand on the ground and told him, "This is it, we're on Rockfall Island now!" ”

The others were equally surprised to hear the news, and they all thought I was making fun of them.

I immediately took them to the water source so that they could witness what I and Four Eyes had discovered.

Professor Wu took a closer look at the stele and said excitedly, "Is it really such a coincidence?" Did we stumble into the right place? ”

At this moment, everyone became excited, as if this was not Falling Rock Island but Golden Island.

Then Professor Wu and Lin Qian took out professional tools for archaeology and cleaned up all the surfaces of the stele, but because the perennial precipitation of sea salt seriously corroded the stele body, except for the three words "Luoyan Island" that were carved the deepest, the other contents of the stele were completely invisible.

In addition to the field of archaeology, Professor Wu also has a special study of stone monuments, and according to the shape of the monument and the degree of corrosion, he concluded that this monument is the boundary monument used to indicate the boundary of the land in the Qin and Han dynasties, so it also proves to some extent that this place is the Luoyan Island we are looking for.

When Uncle Long heard this, he couldn't wait to say: "Since you have come to the right place, let's start doing business, anyway, we won't be able to leave for a while, and it's not too late to find a way after finding the ancient tomb we are looking for." ”

Professor Wu naturally agreed, and immediately asked everyone to pull the camp to the edge of the water source, settle down and then go to find the ancient tomb.

By the time everything had been moved, it was already noon, Xiao Qian took out the cooking utensils and cooked some porridge, and mixed it with canned luncheon meat for us to eat for lunch.

Everyone hadn't eaten hot food since they hit the sea, so they immediately devoured it clean.

After eating, Professor Wu asked us to go for a walk to observe the terrain, and if we found it, we would gather again, and agreed to contact us with a whistle.

The noonday sun was very poisonous, and people couldn't open their eyes, so I walked slowly with Four Eyes and the Golden Tiger, trying not to sweat on my body, until I walked to the other end of the volcano.

In front of us is an extinct volcano that has no signs of activity, and the entire Pacific Rim Volcanic Seismic Zone is the most active area of the earth's crust in the world, with a very large number of volcanoes, accounting for 80% of the global total.

According to his estimates, there is still a possibility of a recurrence of the volcano, but the probability of this happening is very small at the moment, so we have plenty of time to be active here.

So we went to the foot of the volcano and took a turn, and found that it was full of volcanic rock, not to mention the ancient tombs, and not even a single grass grew.

Jin Hu had done tomb robbery before, and I asked him to use his own means to find some clues at this time.

He glared at him, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Comrade Xiao Xu, what are you kidding, finding a grave is not as simple as inviting guests to dinner, if it is really that easy, there will still be any ancient tombs left on this earth?" It's been dug up a long time ago!

Besides, this place is nothing but volcanic rock or volcanic rock, how do you ask me to find it? ”

I teased him and said, "Aren't people with great skills always look at the terrain and smell the soil underground to know if there is a tomb, how did you mix it before you didn't even have this ability?" ”

As soon as Siyan heard this, he snickered next to him, and then looked at Jin Hu's face and changed instantly: "Are you deliberately angry with me?" Just this place makes me smell the soil and smell the volcanic ash, what can I find? ”

Just as we were arguing, there were suddenly a few whistles in the distance, Professor Wu and they went separately to the jungle and behind the volcano, could it be that they found something?

The three of us hurriedly followed the whistle to find it, and the direction seemed to be coming from the side where Uncle Long had just gone.

After walking a few steps, I saw Uncle Long's bodyguard Ah Wei blowing a whistle in the distance, it was a high ground in the middle of the jungle, thick bushes covered the surface, and the tall redwood trees around almost blocked the scorching sun.

Professor Wu and Qin Xuanling had already rushed there first, and it seemed that they were moving something.
