Chapter 17: Crocodiles
Galen wiped his eyes carefully, and then looked carefully at the lake, to make sure that he was not mistaken, Galen's scalp was numb. How can so many crocodiles rest here, thousands of crocodiles surround the entire perimeter of the island, and the dense crowd looks really shocking. Galen was right to think that he had felt insecure yesterday, it turned out that these crocodiles caused it, but because the crocodiles climbed ashore after it was dark yesterday, Galen didn't find anything wrong.
Soon, one by one, the crocodiles left the edge of the island and began to hunt their prey. After a while, Galen couldn't even see the shadow of a crocodile, and he really couldn't believe that so many crocodiles were gathering in this place and walking so fast. If Galen hadn't gotten up early, he wouldn't have found anything, and it felt like everything was normal. If he hadn't seen the crocodile, Galen might have been able to sleep tonight.
But after seeing so many crocodiles, Galen didn't want to sleep next to the tiger's den in Longtan, so many crocodiles crawled to the island to rest at night, and Galen 10,000 didn't want to sleep next to them, even if the crocodiles wouldn't climb to the center of the island. As long as he knew that the crocodile was lying on his stomach not far away, there was no way to rest, and Galen hoped to leave the island by tonight.
There were no crocodiles on the edge of the island, it was empty, and Galen walked to the edge of the island, looked at the blue water, and wanted to get into the water and swim quickly to the opposite shore. Galen hesitated, and finally decided to go into the water, with a resolute attitude on his face, as if he wanted to be heroic and righteous, and he wanted to leave this ghost place no matter what. When Galen walked into the water, a large number of piranhas swam over, surrounded Galen, the water was not above the knees, and the piranhas all bit Galen, Galen was bitten by so many piranhas, although the body was very tough, and did not suffer any substantial damage, it was still very uncomfortable, and the ants bit the elephant to death.
Galen was surrounded by so many piranhas, there was no chance to swim to the other side, and now Galen's pants were bitten into rags by piranhas. Galen walked quickly to the shore, there were still 78 piranhas hanging on his feet, it seemed that lunch had fallen, Galen sighed, took the piranhas off his pants, pinched them to death one by one, and took these fish directly back to the place where he rested yesterday. The fire began to rise, and the piranha came.
These piranhas are not very tasty, Galen hates to eat fish, but there is no other food on this island, so he can only eat this strange fish, which is extremely disgusting. After Galen ate two fish, he threw away the rest of the fish, and really couldn't stand the taste and texture of the fish, just like eating sawdust, there was nothing acceptable about it. When Galen left the island, he never ate any more fish, and had a natural fear of fish, and the story of the generalissimo not eating fish was spread in Demacia, but of course this is a story for later.
Galen had no way to leave the island, so he could only keep observing the environment on the island, constantly thinking of various ways to get out of here, but found that there was no way for Galen to leave this isolated island. Galen wandered around the island, looking and thinking as he went, stopping and stopping, occasionally showing a pensive expression, which was then replaced by an expression of disappointment, all of which were not feasible. Galen thought it was so sad that I was going to be alone with these crocodiles on this lonely island.
Galen couldn't stand it anymore, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "God, don't play with me like this, I'm wrong, please give me a way out, and then I'll get out of this island." At this time, there was a lightning bolt in the sky for some reason, and it struck directly in a corner of the island, and Galen thought that the heavens had manifested it, so he hurried to the area where the lightning had struck, and searched for it, but found nothing. Without any discovery, Galen despaired and returned to his resting place in despair.
The day was spent by Galen, and now that the sun was about to set, Galen dug a not too deep ravine around his resting place around him, and put the dirt on his sleeping place, trying to make his position as high as possible, so that it would be difficult for the crocodile to climb up, Galen thought. In fact, Galen is also self-comforting, if the crocodile wants to eat him, so many crocodiles, no matter how deep the ravine is, it is useless, Galen's fortifications are just a kind of self-comfort, so that he can have a reason to sleep.
Staying up all night is not an option, Galen decided to go to bed early, and when he fell asleep, he would not care about his surroundings, no matter how many crocodiles it had, out of sight. Galen thinks well, but in his heart he always reminds himself that there will be a lot of crocodiles outside at night, and he doesn't know how to die when he falls asleep. Under the hint of his heart, Galen successfully lost sleep, couldn't sleep, and sat on the platform he had piled up, guarding against the surrounding situation, waiting for tomorrow to come soon.
One night passed, and Galen still opened these eyes, but the two eyes were covered with large dark circles, which looked funny. At dawn, there were still so many crocodiles on the island, and Galen was glad that they didn't attack him. Galen continued to watch the crocodiles leave, and when all the crocodiles had left the island, Galen finally couldn't stand it anymore, and fell directly down where he was sitting, and fell asleep, and after a while he made a loud snort.
Until the afternoon, Galen still did not wake up completely, but his stomach was so hungry and uncomfortable that Galen could not sleep, and stood up and looked around the island, and there was nothing to eat. Galen reluctantly came to the island, and then reached into the water with one hand, and after a while Galen stretched out his hand, and hung 4 piranhas on his fingers, Galen didn't take them off, and just let the piranha bite his finger and walked back.
After returning to his defensive base, Galen took the fish off his finger and lit a fire to roast it, and in a short time the fish was cooked. Galen was very hungry, frowning and eating fish, the fish meat of this piranha is really speechless, is there any more unpalatable fish in the world, Galen scolded in his heart. After eating one and a half piranhas, Galen really couldn't eat it, and felt that if he ate another bite of such fish, he would have to vomit out what he had just eaten.
When Galen finished eating, he felt less hungry, and began to build his fortifications again, continuing to dig around the place where he was resting, digging with his Tempest Greatsword, which was not very efficient, but Galen dug carefully every time, and finally Galen dug a large circular ditch at his slow digging speed, like a miniature moat. Galen saw the ditch he had dug and felt very satisfied, so he stopped digging it, and vigorously poked the storm sword down, and with a crisp sound, Galen's greatsword should have stuck into something like a stone.
Galen saw only sand and no stones on this island, so he curiously dug down a few dozen centimeters and found that it was a very flat stone slab. By this time the sun had gone down and it was about to fall into the night, and Galen decided to dig again tomorrow to see if it was a natural slate or something else. Then Galen climbed onto the mound of dirt he had raised, looked at his fortifications, and was so satisfied that he should be able to completely fend off the crocodile. Galen was also very tired, so he quickly fell asleep, and today was Galen's most restful day on the island.
Soon the next day, everything was as usual, the crocodile had left the island, and Galen woke up and began his excavation to get the stone out of the way quickly. When you are hungry, you fish with your fingers, then grill it, and eat the piranha with a nauseous feeling. After eating, he began to dig again, and when he dug out a large piece of stone slab, Galen carefully cleaned up the soil on the stone slab, and after the cleaning was completed, Galen found that there were some very complicated provisions on the stone slab connected to the land, which seemed to be the appearance of ruins, and he didn't know how long it had existed.
Galen endured the excitement, continued to take this slate as a starting point, and continued to dig up, constantly expanding, revealing more and more slates, and the patterns on the slate, Galen couldn't understand at all, but Galen thought that these patterns should not be decoration, but had their specific meaning, so he dug harder. Soon the day passed, and by the evening Galen was very hungry, but when he saw the piranha, he suddenly lost his appetite, and climbed on top of the place where he slept, and began to lie down and rest.
After a while, Galen was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and he actually had an urge to kill a crocodile, but thinking that there were so many crocodiles on this island, Galen's reason told himself that if he didn't kill a crocodile, he would not be bitten by a crocodile, and it would be good if the crocodile didn't make trouble for himself, so he decisively dispelled his unrealistic thoughts.
In this way, Galen dug up the ruins every day, and the crocodiles never came to the center of the island, and Galen imagined that the crocodiles would attack him because he scared himself, as if there was something in the dark that restricted the movement of these crocodiles, so that they did not dare to approach the center of the island. When Galen found out about this situation, his mood improved a little, and he was not so worried about the attack of the crocodile. Just a week has passed, Galen has been using his Storm Sword as a tool every day, digging at an unpleasant rate, persevering, and Galen's unremitting efforts have finally paid off. Galen had dug a super large pit, and the whole picture of the stone slab extending out turned out to be a huge box-like thing, a box of more than 4 meters long, more than 2 meters wide, and more than 2 meters high.
Galen looked at the cuboid carefully, and his first impression was that it was not supposed to be a coffin, because there were no cracks, it should be something carved with some important information, and it had a specific meaning. Galen looked at the thing, but found nothing useful, and Galen felt that all his hard work had been in vain. Thinking that I get up early every day and be greedy for darkness, eating the meat of piranhas that is not eaten by humans, I work so hard, but I don't find anything useful.
Galen suddenly felt that his spiritual world had collapsed, and he fell straight down, and it was a long time before he stood up in despair. Life has to go on, Galen endures his nausea, and goes to the island to catch piranhas. Piranhas are not delicious, crocodile meat is very good, but Galen has never seen a lone crocodile, to kill one among many crocodiles, it is impossible, what 'take the head of the enemy general in the army bush' is just a nonsense to deceive children, it is really unrealistic. Galen thought on the road how long this life would last, he didn't know himself, only the mechanical life was a day.
It was not entirely useless for Galen to dig out this rectangle, at least there was a flat resting place, and a pile of weeds was spread on the stone slabs, which were fluffy and fluffy, perfect for resting. Other than that, the slate has no effect, because it is incomprehensible, and the carved patterns are just ornaments, and have no other value at all. Galen lay on the slate and quickly fell asleep, as if the slate still had the effect of sleeping peacefully, unexpectedly.
