Chapter 47: An Accidental Discovery

The drone flew another fifty or sixty miles before flying to the other side of the island, and if you add the distance from the stone bridge now, then the longitudinal length of the island from north to south is about 120 miles.

The width of the east and west is only sixty or seventy miles, and I didn't expect the north-south longitudinal depth to be so deep, but it gave Tang Wen a surprise.

As a result, Koh Samui is about twice as large as originally thought.

Tang Wen continued to control the drone and prepared to circle the island, and then flew to the top of the mountain to take a look.

Because, although I said that I have been to Koh Samui for almost half a year.

However, for the sake of safety, the scope of activities was limited to the area around Wolong Lake for the time being, and the whole island was not visited.

Soon after the drone spun and flew to the back of the island, Tang Wen was stunned for a moment.

He found that the trees on the back of the island were larger and more luxuriant, and the towering ancient trees were everywhere, and the eyes were full of primeval jungle, and the ground could hardly be seen.

So, he controlled the drone to lower the altitude and get closer to the ground.

He noticed that there were many thorny plants or vines growing among the trees on the ground.

And the vines have thick bright flowers and fruits with basins, and they look like small bewitching women.

These thorny plants and flowers are densely packed in the woods, layered on top of each other, and look quite terrifying.

At this time, Tang Jun came over and suddenly said 'oh'.

"Did you find something?" Tang Wen turned his head to look at him and asked.

"It's a man-eating tree, a man-eating flower." Tang Jun pointed to the trees and vines on the screen and said with some startled.

"Cannibalism, cannibalism of trees and flowers? Can it really eat people? Tang Wen was skeptical.

Although he saw it in the novel, he never believed it.

"Cannibalism certainly cannibalism, of course, not as evil as the legend goes.

Look at these man-eating trees, their leaves are quite large, and they spread out like a small round table.

As soon as you get closer, these blades will retract and envelop you.

Or, their vines will trip you up and keep the leaves close to converge.

Then, a poisonous liquid erupts from their leaves, which will gradually wear away the flesh and skin of your body.

Finally, it was sucked up by the hole in the blade. It's the same with man-eating flowers, stretching out their flowers and swallowing you in.

However, this process is slow, and if you are skilled, you can escape.

Of course, these man-eating trees will spit out some poisonous gas at any time, and if you don't go in and are unprepared, you will gradually be stunned by them, and finally eaten.

So, if you want to go over, you have to prepare some antidotes first.

Also put on a special long knife with a rod, cut with the knife from afar, and they won't be able to help you. Tang Jun said.

"Tang Jun, you see, these man-eating trees and flowers only grow in this area, and the range is only about one mile, and they are not completely spread out, and there is no more in it. Is there a problem here? Tang Wen said.

"What's wrong with this, maybe it's because this area is suitable for them to grow, and other places are not good for growth." Tang Jun shook his head and said.

"What if it's artificially planted?" Tang Wen said.

"Artificial, who has nothing to do when they are full?

This kind of thing can't be eaten or played.

It can't be sold for money, absolutely impossible. Tang Jun was stunned and said.

"I feel like it's artificial, as if it's trying to keep outsiders out." Tang Wen said.

"Pirates hiding behind the island?" Tang Jun was stunned and blurted out.

"Perhaps, the pirates who attacked us are hiding on the back side of our island. There, perhaps, there is also a pirate den. Tang Wen said, controlling the drone and continuing to fly slowly.

"Someone!" After the drone continued to fly for ten miles, Tang Jun pointed to the screen and shouted.

"This guy must be a dark whistle." Tang Wen nodded, and found a guy with a big knife and a bow hidden under a tree

The drone continued to fly, and the second and third were found one after another.

The farther you fly, the more people there are, and you find a horse road that is seven or eight meters wide.

These trails are hidden under huge trees, and they would not have been spotted unless a drone had approached them.

After a few miles of further walking, I found the houses, all of which were one-story buildings.

There are stone and bamboo structures, all of which are hidden under large trees and are extremely difficult to find.

"Boat!" Tang Jun shouted again, and Tang Wen found that there was actually an extremely narrow canyon over there.

The canyon has been connected to the sea, and at this time, a boat slowly sailed into the canyon.

The drone flew into the canyon, and suddenly, both of them were stunned.

It was full of people, and a group of pirates with leather whips and knives patrolled and watched over the laborers.

And the laborers are also busy, and if they slow down, they will be whipped.

These laborers are carrying a wooden box to the ship, and they don't know what is in the box.

At this time, Tang Wen controlled the drone and carefully landed in a hidden place.

Then, he controlled the figureless to open the cockpit and slid out of another micro-drone the size of a hummingbird.

This kind of miniature figureless endurance is not good, it can only play back and forth within a range of ten miles, and it can't come back any farther.

However, because it is so small, even the dark whistle is difficult to spot, and it is often mistaken for a hummingbird.

The hummingbird drone flew in and found that there was a trace of smoke coming out of it, as if there was a hole, so it flew in carefully.

Mahler's next door!

Sure enough, it was stealing the silver mine of Lao Tzu's Tang family.

Several large cast-iron furnaces lined up in the cave, and hundreds of workers were busy smelting silver ore.

Moreover, these guys are too smart.

There would be a lot of smoke coming out of the stove, and they actually made a couple of huge tin cylinders.

In front of these canisters was a huge pot-like thing that stood above the large iron stove.

Behind the tin tube, there was a group of people struggling to turn a few pieces of fan-like things, and as soon as the fan turned, the smoke from the iron furnace was sucked into the tin tube.

And these iron sheets and copper went straight into the sea water not far away, and the smoke was sucked into the sea water, so naturally it would not rise everywhere.

Isn't this an ancient version of a 'range hood'? Moreover, it is also oversized.

"This mechanism is set up too powerfully, is it the handiwork of the Gongsun family?" Tang Jun sighed again and again.

"It's possible, but they must have captured these laborers as well." Tang Wen said.

"That's for sure, there are pirates everywhere here, and the laborers can't run away if they want to." Tang Jun nodded.

"They found out we were building dams, and they were afraid we would find them.

Therefore, they sent people to attack us twice in a row, one is to scare us away, and if they can't scare us away, they will kill us.

So, soon there will be a bigger attack, and there will be more centaurs coming a third time. Tang Wen said.

"They seem to have a lot of firecrackers, and the first two times are probably afraid of startling the snakes.

Or maybe they think we don't have any ability, so we don't have firecrackers.

However, once we bring the firecracker for the third time, we will be in trouble. Tang Jun said worriedly.

"So, let's strike first." Tang Wen said.

"But there are many of them, you see, there are two or three hundred patrols alone, and I am afraid that the number will not be less than five or six hundred.

We don't have firearms, so we can't kill them.

It's better to report to the officials and ask the sailor to come and kill them. Tang Jun shook his head and said.

"Now that there is a war, the sailor will not care about our little things.

Moreover, the sailors are slow, and God knows if they are spies among the sailors.

You see, they have been digging for so many years without being discovered, maybe there are officials in the sailors who are colluding with them.

Once it is leaked, they will act in advance, and we will suffer. Tang Wen shook his head and said.

"What to do? Or, please Yang Zhutou and lead the catchers to come and assist us. "Tang Jun is in a hurry.

"You have to be cautious about this matter, there are spies in the sailors, and there is no guarantee that there are no spies in the Yamen.

They have been in business for decades, refining a lot of silver, and making dots everywhere, I am afraid that they have secretly formed a network of relationships in Yanling County.

As soon as we moved, they knew first. Tang Wen shook his head and said.

"Are you just waiting for them to come and kill us?" Tang Jun snorted.

"Let's go back first, and stop work altogether. Organize the manpower for a few days and prepare for action. Tang Wen said, took back the drone, and the two quickly rushed back to the station.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Li Quan came over and said, "Master, someone is asking to see you." ”

"Who?" Tang Wen asked.
