48. A mysterious species she has never seen
On the other side, with the clarity of consciousness, Gu Yuexi noticed that the surroundings had become a lot brighter, and in addition, the trace of stuffiness and humidity in the air gradually disappeared, replaced by a little coolness and dryness.
Opening her hazy eyes, she found herself lying on a white sand beach with lush coconut groves on one side and a blue, microwave sea on the other.
"No, it's a dream." She hurriedly closed her eyes and opened them again, but she was surprised to find that all this was real.
"It's weird." She whispered, then picked up the grappling hook gun and long knife beside her, and scanned everything around her with a little vigilance, hoping to find even a little bit of valuable clue.
However, to her disappointment, this place was so unfamiliar, that, after observing it for a long time, she didn't even understand what kind of place it was.
Indeed, in mid-to-late April, the tropical coastal areas generally enter the rainy season of the year, and the temperature is gradually rising, so it stands to reason that there should not be dry and cool weather; But if this place is not in the tropics, then why is there such a large area of coconut groves?
After hesitating for a moment, she simply withdrew her chaotic thoughts and decided to go to find Wang Wenyuan, Su Lemo and the others, after all, Su Lemo may know the clues about the fragments of the Snow Mountain Scroll, and Wang Wenyuan is one of the few companions of her in this act, and finding them will surely make the next journey a lot easier.
Stepping on the soft sand and looking at the boundless sea, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart, saying that the climate and beautiful environment of this place should be very suitable for human habitation or vacation, but why can't you see a person here?
"Something is wrong." Her heart tightened, and she immediately realized that not only was there no one here, but even insects, birds, fish, shrimp, scallops and other animals could not be seen.
"Eighty percent, this place is related to the Snow Mountain Scroll or the Gate of the Otherworld." Gu Yuexi quickly suppressed some of the fear in her heart, and then quickened her pace and quickly marched in the direction where the coconut grove was located.
When she walked into the coconut grove, a more strange thing appeared in front of her eyes, that is, although the temperature here is low, and the rain is scarce, but the growth of the coconut tree is unusually gratifying, roughly estimated, the height of the coconut tree here is generally between 35-45 meters, and the feathery leaves are mostly between 6-7 meters, which is at least about one-third larger than the average coconut tree.
Looking at the coconut fruit the size of a human head, she shook her head a little helplessly, knowing that it would take a lot of effort to get it off intact, so she didn't stop and continued to walk forward.
In the process of walking, she found an even more strange phenomenon, that is, this wild coconut grove is distributed in a linear pattern, although the length is unknown, but its width is about 600 meters, the boundary is extremely clear, giving people a seemingly messy, but in fact orderly.
Bordering the coconut groves is a large river with a relatively gentle current, and on the other side of the river, there is a tropical rainforest with no end in sight, such as coconut palms, rubber trees, palm trees, betel nut trees, mangroves, etc......
Gu Yuexi picked up a long branch on the bank of the river, roughly measured the depth of the river, and found that the river near the bank was shallow, about 1.2 meters, but the deeper it was in the middle, so it was better to use the grappling hook gun to cross the river, it was unrealistic to swim over after all.
Sure that the grappling hook hit the target, she took a deep breath, then pressed the boost button, causing the powerful air flow in the grappling hook gun to be released violently, and finally, she performed three somersaults gracefully in mid-air, "jumping" over the wide, murky river.
After landing, she quickly determined the general direction without hesitation, and chose a relatively wide path and galloped away.
But at this moment, in the dense forest at the edge of her vision, a black figure suddenly flashed.
"Oh?" Her heart was slightly startled, and she hurriedly launched her grappling hook, intending to go to the tree for a more detailed observation.
Holding her breath, she saw four or five agile black figures in the dense bushes on the lower right, which at first glance looked like a group of chimpanzees, but in the same way: they could not only run on all fours, but also stand and run like humans.
"Could it be that this is a kind of existence between humans and apes?" Gu Yuexi said to herself, and immediately decided to secretly follow this group of mysterious things to find out.
However, before she could stand up, she saw that the group of little creatures about one meter long all raised their heads in unison, stared at a pair of big round eyes, and looked at the dense branches and leaves above their heads with high vigilance, as if they were aware of an unusual noise.
Seeing this, Gu Yuexi had no choice but to stop moving, and hurriedly curled up on the other side of the tree trunk, narrowly avoiding their slightly "vicious" eyes.
Probably not seeing any valuable clues, after careful observation, they simply withdrew their gaze, and under the leadership of the leader, quickly formed a small orderly phalanx, and ran towards 11 o'clock.
There was no time to hesitate, she quickly stood up, followed their tracks, and continued to fire grappling hooks between the branches and leaves, hoping to keep a close enough distance from them as much as possible without being noticed, so as to prevent accidents from causing the target to disappear.
After a while, the group stopped in an open area in the rainforest and divided into two small groups of varying sizes, the group with a large number of individuals surrounded and carried four groups of haystacks more than three meters high, and the group with few individuals scattered to guard and patrol the work.
"I guess I was looking for something." Gu Yuexi held her breath and carefully observed the little guy's every move.
Soon, two of the fellows suddenly stopped what they were doing, and rushed to their leader with a shout, gesturing with both hands, as if it must have been, that they had found the thing.
Although the leader did not speak, looking at its rather satisfied expression and leisurely steps, you can guess its state of mind at this time.
The next second, as if they had been discussed in advance, they all hurriedly took out a number of delicate and small hammers from their pockets, and then gathered where the two guys had just been, and slammed them the ground.
She couldn't see what was on the ground because of the distance, but she could deduce that it was wooden based on the sound of the hammer hitting the surface.
"Wooden objects, hammers?" While pondering, Gu Yuexi subconsciously raised her head, never thinking that she would see an illusory and familiar figure suddenly appear behind the group of little guys.
"Night Emperor!" Her face changed, and she couldn't help but speak.
