(b)

There are only a dozen people in the Yutu army, and they are all a little older, led by an old man named Zhou Yuan.

Fearing an accident, Bai Tiao sent another 200 sword and axe men and 50 archers to the Dongfang Xin Long March.

After that, Bai Tiao, Dongfang Yan and Fengzi led the Yutu troops to set off.

"Old Zhou, what should we do?"

When it comes to drawing maps, the white bars are an absolute layman.

"This is the first time that the map is mainly based on the topography, landform and path map. This coastline is located in the northeast corner of Taoyuan Island, so let's start from here, go directly to the center, and then make the next plan according to the specific situation. ”

"Okay. ”

According to Zhou Yuan's words, Bai Tiao led the troops and began to march in the northeast direction.

After walking for about five minutes, the group left the beach and came to the front of the jungle.

Because no one has stepped on it for hundreds of years, the trees are towering to the sky, and the shrubs and grasses under the trees are everywhere, and there is no path to step into.

"Get out of the way!"

White stripe gives instructions to the soldiers, and the soldiers begin to use machetes and hooks and sickles to clear the way.

Fortunately, the Yutu troops have made sufficient preparations, otherwise, they would have to return five minutes after setting off.

The vegetation at the entrance was so lush that it took a dozen soldiers a few minutes to clear a road.

Bai Tiao looked at the tired and sweaty soldiers who did not complain, and couldn't help but feel deeply.

When people build their own homes, they really spare no effort and work hard.

"It seems that the road ahead is difficult. ”

"In this way, everyone is divided into ten groups and takes turns to open the way, which can not only improve efficiency, but also reflect the friendship of our children's troops. ”

"What do you think?"

"Good!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

As a result, Bai Tiao divided everyone into ten groups, one group opened the way, and the others were responsible for security guards.

"Let's start with our group. ”

Bai Tiao couldn't say anything, grabbed the machete, and walked at the front of the line.

Dongfang Yan and Fengzi immediately followed.

The soldiers were greatly encouraged and cheered up.

After entering the jungle, perhaps because of the lack of sunlight for a long time, there is a lot less vegetation in the middle.

Bai Tiao led the crowd on.

Because he has been practicing in the Valley of the Medical King for more than two years, and he is practicing healing techniques, Dongfang Yan knows plants very well.

So, Dongfang Yan began to explain the names and characteristics of the surrounding plants to everyone, and occasionally encountered rare herbs, and began to pick them.

"I said at home, we're on a mission, don't be so obsessed with money. ”

"You're just a fan of money, and people call it preparedness. ”

"Sir, hateful. ”

Dongfang Yan amused everyone with a few words.

In the hearts of everyone, Dongfang Yan is not only a princess, but also a goddess who has saved thousands of lives.

The white stripe is a prophet who can foresee danger.

There were two of them, and all the soldiers relaxed.

A military mission, which immediately turned into an outing.

Bai Tiao looked at everyone with a smile, although he was relaxed on the surface, he had already summoned Wan'er and Bai Ye.

Dongfang Yan can no longer be allowed to encounter any danger.

The experience of the last dock has made Bai Tiao regret it.

The group walked along the northeast direction for more than half an hour, and did not encounter any danger except for the pythons, deer, monkeys and other animals they encountered by chance.

After walking for another ten minutes, Yu'er suddenly appeared.

"Whew!"

Yu'er yelled at Bai Tiao, and Bai Tiao immediately communicated with it through spirit.

"This way?"

Bai Tiao pointed to the north and looked at Yu'er suspiciously.

Yu'er nodded immediately.

"But it's not northeast. ”

"Whew!"

Yu'er let out a roar, and then rubbed her body against Bai Tiao's face.

"Okay, okay. ”

The white stripe was helpless.

For his own demons, Bai Tiao has always been spoiled.

"Old Zhou, I feel that there should be a major discovery in the north, can we go and check?"

"Originally, I came here to find out, and since Mr. has a hunch, it doesn't hurt to go. ”

So, the group set off due north.

After walking for about ten minutes, Yu'er screamed excitedly again.

Bai Bar looked forward carefully.

A huge statue looming among the trees.

Traces of man-made were found.

Everyone was excited, and their admiration for the white strip became even more and more impressive.

Bai Tiao didn't have time to care about this, and began to think about Yu'er's abnormal behavior in his heart.

Ever since entering this space, Yu'er has been in a state of excitement.

Now, a few hundred meters away, I sensed an anomaly here.

Could it be that this space is related to the space-time dragon?

Shirobar walked up to the statue and motioned for everyone to remove the vines from the statue.

Really!

What appeared in front of everyone was suddenly a giant dragon circling.

Yu'er looked at the statue and flew over excitedly, circling around the statue endlessly.

Bai Tiao continued to communicate with Yu'er, but it was only instinctively intimate, and there was no cognitive information in its head.

"What's wrong with Yu'er?"

Dongfang Yan only knew that Yu'er was Baitiao's little friend, but he didn't know his true identity.

"I don't know. ”

Bai Tiao waited for Yu'er's excitement to pass, and then called it back to his side.

At this time, everyone had already gathered around, carefully examining the sculpture in front of them.

Although it has passed, the sculpture is still intact.

Moreover, all the details of the dragon are carved in detail, and the whole statue is lifelike, as if it were alive.

Just as everyone gathered around the statue in amazement, Yu'er screamed again.

Bai Tiao pulled Dongfang Yan and continued to walk around the sculpture.

After walking a distance of more than 200 meters, dozens of abandoned houses were found in the grass.

Yu'er became excited again and spun around in front of Bai Tiao's eyes.

White Bar walked to the middle of the houses to take a closer look.

The houses are made of stone, more than three meters high, square in shape, arranged in a circle around a humanoid sculpture in the middle.

The spacing between the houses is the same, the structure is the same, and the size and height of the doors and windows are also the same.

Curious, Shirojo walked into one of the rooms.

Stone tables, stone beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, although dusty, are still intact.

"Sir?"

"I'm here. ”

Bai Tiao walked out of the room and saw Dongfang Yan staring at the sculpture in the center, so he walked over.

Whew!

Yu'er gathered around the sculpture in the middle and shouted excitedly again.

Could it be that this sculpture is also related to the space-time dragon?

Shirojo walked closer and took a closer look.

The sculpture is more than five meters high, and the carving is also meticulous and lifelike, it is a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and looking down ahead.

This man is handsome, although he is dressed as a scholar, but his eyes are cold, which makes people feel not angry and arrogant.

Who is this man?

Judging from the layout of the scene, this person should be respected, not just a simple leader, but more like an object of worship by everyone.

Could it be that this man is the master of this island?

"Sir, why is Yu'er so excited? Did you find something?"

Dongfang Yan looked at Yu'er curiously.

"It's just excitement and nothing else. ”

Bai Tiao communicated with Yu'er again, but still did not find any substantive information.

"There's even a village here. ”

At this time, the soldiers also came over.

"Let's take a closer look and see if we can find anything. ”

Judging from the state of the house, there should have been no traces for a long time, but Bai Tiao still had a hint of luck.

So, the soldiers began to inspect one by one in groups.

However, there are no new discoveries other than what has already been found in the white bar.

If the villagers suddenly disappear, they should at least leave traces of life.

If it gradually dies out, at least the last villagers will retain signs of life.

However, there is no trace of anyone living in the entire village.

There were no clothes, no tools, no groceries, and the whole village was like no one had ever lived there.

Perhaps no one has ever lived there.

Or perhaps, the villagers did a meticulous tidying up before leaving.

Or perhaps, someone sorted it out after the death of the villagers.

"Huh?"

The white stripe suddenly felt like someone was being watched.

Someone?

Bai Tiao raised his eyes and looked around.

However, apart from the vegetation of trees, there were no animals to be seen.

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

Dongfang Yan found the abnormality of the white strip and immediately asked.

"Nothing. ”

Bai Tiao didn't want Dongfang Yan to worry.

"Sir, there's a way here. ”

A soldier shouted loudly, and Bai Tiao and Dongfang Yan immediately ran over.

To the east of the village, there is a path paved with stone slabs.

Weeds grow between the crevices of the stone slabs, and leaves fall on the stone slabs, but a stone path is still faintly visible.

"Clear it out, let's move along the road. ”

The soldiers followed the instructions of the white strip and took turns clearing the stone road in small groups.

Shirajo carefully observed the stone slabs on the stone path.

Each slab is about half a meter wide and about 30 centimeters long, and there are signs of wear on each slab.

Obviously, this is a road used by the villagers on a daily basis.

This also shows that the village was definitely inhabited.

So who are these villagers?

Why haven't there been any traces of life in the village?

Shirojo pondered as he followed the team.

After about twenty minutes, the bushes in front of me became thicker, and we must have reached the edge of the other side of the jungle.

The soldiers took out their machetes and hooks and sickles and began to clean up, and after a few minutes, they finally cleared a way.

Shirostripe walked out of the jungle and looked into the distance.

What a quiet and peaceful scene!

Endless grasslands, dotted lakes, flocks of sika deer, and flocks of birds flying in the sky.

How can there be sika deer on an island?

And, only sika deer?

There must be only one reason.

The people who created this island only introduced sika deer.

Whew!

Yu'er roared again.

Bai Tiao pointed to a lake in front of her, and Yu'er nodded immediately.

"Everyone is in a group, check separately, be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Bai Tiao gave instructions to the soldiers, and then led Dongfang Yan and Fengzi and walked straight towards the lake.

Although there has been no human movement for a long time, thanks to the sika deer, the surrounding grass has not grown too densely.

Moreover, judging by the number of sika deer, it is believed that their natural enemies were introduced on the island.

In the absence of human influence, the naturally occurring balance ensures the ecological stability of the island.

The owner of this island is indeed extraordinary.

Shirojo continued to ponder as he walked.

About ten minutes later, the group came to the close to the lake.

What a beautiful lake!

The lake is clear and visible, like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky. Fish swim in the lake, water birds fly on the lake, cool breezes, and microwaves ripple.

Dongfang Yan couldn't help but run a few steps quickly and came to the lake.

"Sir, it's beautiful. ”

Dongfang Yan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him with an intoxicated expression.

Whew!

Yu'er screamed again.

Bai Tiao followed Yu'er's instructions and walked some distance southeast and came to the lake.

Fengzi looked at Dongfang Yan, then at Bai Tiao, and finally walked to Bai Tiao's side.

After all, Shirojo is her true master.

Whew!

Yu'er screamed again.

Bai Tiao looked at Yu'er helplessly.

Because, it wants white stripes into the lake.

"Little one, we don't have a boat..."

Before Bai Tiao's words were finished, a white light flashed, and Yu'er actually activated the spatial teleportation without authorization.

When Shirojo came back to his senses, he was already standing on a small boat, and Fengzi was also teleported up together because he was standing close to Shirojo.

Bai Tiao looked around, the boat was about twenty meters away from the shore, and Dongfang Yan on the shore was running around in a panic, as if shouting his name.

"Yanyan! I'm here!"

Bai Tiao immediately shouted loudly, but Dongfang Yan didn't react at all.

Another space circle?

Bai Tiao immediately understood the mystery.

At this time, the boat had begun to move forward slowly, and in front of the boat, a pavilion suddenly appeared.

Whew!

Yu'er seemed to be in a good mood and happily circled around the white stripe.

Fengzi was stunned.

Bai Tiao gently stroked Fengzi's back and reassured her not to worry.

Fengzi smiled at Bai Tiao and signaled that Bai Tiao was fine.

After about ten minutes, the boat stopped at the edge of the pavilion.

Bai Tiao pulled the peak, stepped onto the pavilion, and immediately turned back to the shore to watch.

Dongfang Yan on the shore was commanding the soldiers to investigate one by one along the shore of the lake.

Bai Tiao shouted loudly again, but Dongfang Yan still didn't react.

It seems that he has indeed entered another dimension.

Bai Tiao looked at Yu'er with a little reproach, and Yu'er looked indifferent.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Although Yu'er is good at asserting, there must be a reason for it.

To his own demons, Bai Tiao is too spoiled.

Whew!

Yu'er screamed twice, and then the white light flashed, and the teleportation was activated again.

Shirojo and Fengzi immediately disappeared from the pavilion.
