"Shhhhhh Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If Linda knew that he killed this monster, not only was he a tyrant on the island who was strong enough to rank in the ranks, but also had no low intelligence, then he would be even more surprised.
However, this giant monster is also unlucky, he escaped the sweep of the shark demon monster when it was concentrated on this island, thinking that after the shark monster withdrew, he could finally come out to take a breath, but he didn't expect to meet someone like Linda who could launch an infinite magic weapon attack as soon as he came out, so he carelessly lost his life.
Tang Long and the others saw that Lin Da had killed this terrible monster with only one person's strength, and they couldn't react at once, and after being stunned for a while, everyone dared to step forward.
Tang Long patted Lin Da's shoulder, looked at him in surprise, as if he knew him for the first time, and asked a little tremblingly, "Lin... Linda, did you really kill this thing?"
Linda shook his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe this guy is not dead yet!"
Tang Long looked at the giant who fell to the ground not far away, his pale eyes widened, his body was lifeless, and he couldn't die anymore.
He asked Linda, "Did you use your magic weapon to kill it?, how can you have such a strong power?" When he was on Earth, several people in Grant's group who studied alien energy had communicated a lot in private, and in Tang Long's impression, although the power of Linda's knife magic weapon was slightly more powerful than other people's magic weapons, it did not reach such a powerful level in front of him.
Linda smiled slightly and said, "This is a long story, let's go back and talk about it in detail, but I have indeed gained a lot from this exploration." ”
He suddenly remembered something, and with a smile on his face, he asked in a deep voice, "How did you meet this terrible monster?
Speaking of this, Tang Long couldn't help but sigh lightly and slowly explained what had happened. It turned out that when the autonomous group and others first waited for the volcano to inspect the topography of the island, they saw traces of a valley found in the northeast of the island. After returning from exploring the forest in the north, Tang Long's exploration team decided to go to that valley to have a look. They soon discovered that the valley was not only flat, sunny, fertile and sheltered from the wind and sun, but also not very far from the coast, making it a good place to set up camp. Tang Long and the others were extremely excited, and just when they wanted to report this discovery to the base, the giant suddenly rushed out of the valley and pounced on them with a giant tree.
Tang Long said stupidly: "Of course we were frightened when we saw this monster, and hurriedly ran out of the valley and fled in the direction where the "Ark" was located, hoping to get support. Unexpectedly, this giant chased after us, and in the process of escaping, three members of the team were caught by it on the spot, and they were swallowed alive! When he said this, Tang Long still had a faint look of horror and fear on his face.
Lin Da listened carefully to Tang Long's description and felt sad for the sacrifice of his three companions. Next, he briefly recounted his exploration, and when he said that he had walked around the island and found no other land, Tang Long and the others had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Unexpectedly, this is really an island, so we are already trapped on this island full of monsters?" Tang Long said in a low voice, a trace of deep worry on his face.
Linda shook her head and said, "We may be stranded on the island, but it may not be so bad. If you think about it, since this island is isolated from the mainland, there will never be too many of these monsters, and the monsters on the island will kill one less monster, and you will never worry about them popping up more. ”
Tang Long thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but this island is so big, I don't know how many such terrible monsters there are, I'm afraid we can't deal with it with our strength." ”
Linda didn't say much, after this catastrophe, no one wanted to face those terrible otherworldly creatures anymore, so they could only return to the "Ark" to discuss with everyone. However, the two of them then made another decision, they let the others stay where they were, and then Linda, under the leadership of Tang Long, went to the giant's lair that they had discovered before.
The two of them felt that since they had killed the giant, there should be no other terrible creatures in that valley, and this was the perfect opportunity to explore deep into the valley.
Linda followed Tang Long, following the path that had been chased by the giants, moving northeastward, and after they passed through a dense forest, they climbed over a low hill, walked for about a few kilometers, and finally came to a valley.
Standing in front of a small hill at the mouth of the valley, the entire valley suddenly appears in front of the eyes. In the northwest of the valley there is a small bay several miles wide in diameter, and on both sides of the shore are high rock walls, and from one side of the coast there is a headland deep into the sea to enclose the bay just right, blocking the wind and waves from the sea, and on the side near the valley there are several natural wharves, which is actually a natural harbor.
In the valley, a medium-sized river flows into the valley from the northeast and divides into two tributaries, one of which flows into the bay in the northwest of the valley and the other southwest to the harbor under the volcano where the Ark is anchored. The river forms a small pool in the valley, and the water is crystal clear, without a trace of ferocious beasts.
Except for the relatively flat terrain of the bay in the northwest of the valley, the valley is surrounded by low mountains on all sides, and the highest mountain is only more than 300 meters high, and there is only a junction of nearly 100 meters wide at the entrance and exit of the valley river.
The entire valley covers an area of more than 20 square kilometers. The soil in the valley is unusually fertile, with large wetlands and ponds, and the surrounding mountains are covered with all kinds of unknown wild grasses and wild flowers, exuding a rich fragrance and smelling very pleasant.
"What a great place to be!" Linda couldn't help but admire, looking at the entire valley.
"Yes, that's what we thought at first, but we didn't look much deeper than we met the giant shortly after we went deep into the valley. Now it seems that this giant can really jump from place to live!" Tang Long echoed at the same time.
After observing it again, they cautiously walked into the valley. To their surprise, they didn't even spot some of the larger beasts along the way, much to the confusion of the two who had been on a twelve-point alert. However, the answer to this question was soon given, and when they came to a towering tree at the bottom of the valley, they found a large pile of bones of various animals, including the remains of some ferocious animals, near a simple tree shed at the bottom of the tree.
"Looks like this is the giant's lair!" said Linda thoughtfully, looking at the simple and haphazard tree trellis of hundreds of giant trees in front of her.
"No wonder there isn't a single big animal here, they were all eaten by this giant as food. Tang Long suddenly realized.
"Isn't that just convenient for us, and this makes it more suitable as a camp!" said Linda, looking at the fertile land around her, excitedly.
The two of them spent most of the day in the valley and found more favorable conditions in the valley as a camp. For example, there are many flat areas suitable for growing food crops in the valley, dense forests near the valley can provide a large amount of timber, ponds and wetlands in the valley can be used for fish farming or conversion to farmland, and the climate in the valley is pleasant and sunny, and it is not affected by the climate outside the valley in the slightest. At the same time, this natural fortity in the northwest of the valley can be used to moor the "Ark" and "Hope", so that there is no need to worry about the settlement site being too far away from these two precious ships.
As researchers of alien energy, Lin Da and Tang Long also clearly felt in the valley that there was an abundant alien energy in the valley, which emanated from the bottom of the valley, and the human body would feel extremely comfortable after inhaling this alien energy. This discovery immediately made the two ecstatic.
In fact, according to this realm, there is a spiritual vein hidden at the bottom of this valley, and it is the aura that is constantly emitted that makes Linda and the others feel comfortable and abnormal, which is also an important reason why the giants occupy this valley. Fortunately, this giant has just cultivated the Dao, and his strength is not more than the early stage of the realm, otherwise if he let it practice for a few more years, it will not be so easy for Lin Da to kill it with the magic weapon in his hand. And the existence of this spiritual vein was only discovered by Lin Da and others decades later.
Linda and the others immediately radioed the situation at the headquarters on the "Ark", and President Grant and the others were even more happy to learn that Linda had returned safely. After carefully listening to the two of them about this valley, after some deliberation, they decided to let all the members of the third exploration team led by Linda and Tang Long return to the headquarters on the "Ark" first, and wait for the other exploration teams to return before discussing.
After more than 10 days, the other three search teams sent by the autonomous regiment returned to the "Hope" one after another. Similar to what happened to Linda and the Third Exploration Team, the three exploration teams were also attacked by various monsters while exploring the island. Although the monsters they encountered were not as terrifying as the giants that Tang Long encountered, they were also unable to prevent various dangers, even with the protection of Ivanov and other alien energy operators and special forces officers and soldiers, there were still several team members who died in distress due to various disasters such as monster attacks.
In more than a month of exploration, people completed the exploration of the entire island, and each exploration team brought back a lot of useful information, and the people of the autonomous group not only found out all the geographical conditions of the island, but also found a large number of various edible animals and plants, as well as the distribution of some minerals on the island.
In addition to the Giant's Valley, Tang Long and others also found a hot spring in a canyon in the north of the island, and there are many sulfur mines nearby, which are important raw materials for making gunpowder and explosives. Bizet's expedition team discovered an open-pit coal mine in a hill to the east, large enough to be mined in large quantities to serve as a fuel source for the autonomous mission. Leo led the expedition team to find a lot of edible fruits and plants in the dense forests in the southeast, and brought back a large number of seeds. Of course, Lynda herself has made her own unique discoveries during her travels around the island.
Although there was a lot of gain, except for Tang Long, the other teams did not find a suitable place to live. The places they went to were either too steep or not suitable for farming, and in some places there were even many dangerous monsters, all of which were not ideal locations to build bases, and with the current strength of the Autonomous Mission, they were not enough to conquer that environment.
After some consideration, the autonomous group voted and finally decided to build the camp in the valley that Tang Long had discovered. For the sake of convenience, they called this valley the Valley of the Giants. So, all the crew took the "Hope" and the "Ark" to the harbor in the northwest of the valley and entered the valley.
After some inspection, a flat and open area in the center of the valley, close to a water source, sheltered from the wind and warm, was chosen as a temporary camp, and simple tents were set up next to it. That night, all the members of the Mission held another meeting to discuss and make detailed arrangements for the establishment of the camp, and they decided to start the construction of the camp tomorrow.
