Chapter Twenty-Six: Preparing for the Crossing

What relieved him of his worries was a cave on the cliff wall on the north side of the mountain. Jeon Ho appeared by accident on the way back and forth between the forest and the campsite. The cave is about ten meters above the ground, because there is a rock platform protruding up to half a meter below it, so he has not been seen walking down the mountain tomb. The dense fog on the island forced Jeon Hao to develop the habit of looking for references. However, Cheng is also a thick fog, and he can appear in the cave, which is also due to the fact that he has gone wrong in the fog.

The cave is only one meter high. Quan Hao climbed up the stone platform along the protruding rock, and now the inside is about three meters deep, and the width and narrowness of the inside and outside are about the same. Unfortunately, at the innermost end of the cave, a stone pillar protruded from the rock and pierced only half a meter from the entrance of the cave. The pillar occupies the middle of the cave. A cave that could accommodate people to sit was squeezed into a place that could only be reclined down. The stone pillar is thin in front and thick in the back, the tip is only about the same as a human arm, but the diameter of the root is 30 centimeters. Quan Hao tried to shake it, but he couldn't shake it at all. But he really liked it, this cave could not only be used as a refuge, but also as a relay station for him to travel between the north and south islands. The location was so ideal that he was reluctant to give it up.

Later, Quan Hao thought of a way, which was also a means to learn from the ancients to dig mountains and rocks. Burn the stone first, wait for the stone to boil hot, and then pour cold water on it. According to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the stone becomes brittle after a few times. Then hit the stone with a few hard blows to break it. The stone pillar was destroyed by such a little bit, and all the rubble was thrown out of the hole, and in the end, there was only half a meter long left, and Quan Hao really couldn't knock it. The area of the cave was also large enough for him to stay, so he stopped.

With this cave, Quan Hao no longer has to worry about the attack of wind and rain. He also carried some coconuts and dried salted fish to the cave as a backup grain storage point. Chai He also prepared a part. After that, when he passed here, he often climbed up to rest and sat at the mouth of the cave looking out to sea. Sometimes they stay here on a whim or in bad weather. The only bad thing in the cave is that there is always moisture, and Quan Hao has to light a fire every two or three days to dry the moisture.

He also gave the cave a name - Granite Palace. That's right, it's the one from The Mysterious Island. Although he didn't know granite, he couldn't see the appearance of a "palace" in this cave, which could only be entered and exited by bending down. He chose this name to encourage himself with the experiences of Verne's five protagonists, and he was more or less self-deprecating. After all, on the mysterious island, five nineteenth-century captives fled to a desert island, and soon made glass, a mill. In the end, even the telegram was erected. It can be said that it brought civilization to the desert island. And he, a hundred and fifty years later, is still running for food and lodging. Except for a few modern tools that he carried with him, he almost returned to the wilderness. The gap between people and people is also too great.

In the blink of an eye, Quan Hao has been on the island for twenty days. His skin was tanned brown and his hands were calloused. He spends almost all of his time in the pantry and his residence these days. Catch fish once in a while, go on an adventure. The midday sun slowly shifts southward from overhead, indicating that the point of direct light is moving south. But the heat on the island has not diminished in the slightest.

The giant turtle had been released by him, on the seventh day of his visit to the island.

That afternoon, he went to feed the turtles as usual, but the turtles were hanging their heads and did not eat a single bite of fresh fish.

Sick?Quan Hao touched the turtle's neck with the tip of his spear, but there was no reaction at all. I poured a pot full of fresh water on its head, but it still didn't move. It's not going to be dead, is it? Yesterday was fine.

He did plan to let the turtle go when it was dying, but he didn't want to kill it. Seeing the turtle motionless, Quan Hao was a little sad. In the past few days, he has been feeding in a timely manner, and he has not forgotten to replenish the turtle's water. I just want to keep it for a few more days. I didn't expect that there was still some negligence. Maybe it's the hot weather, or maybe it's the turtles that need to be supplemented with nutrients that are not in the fish and shrimp. In short, it is dying. Quan Hao couldn't bear it to lie here on all fours, and turned it over with all his might.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have forced you to stay on 6 grounds. If you're still alive, crawl back into the sea. ”

As soon as he landed on all fours, the turtle immediately put away the set of pretending to be dead, ignored anything, and hurriedly crawled into the sea. It seems that he can't wait to escape from the side of the Great Demon King.

Fooled.

Quan Hao's nest fire was actually deceived by a turtle. Rush up and ride on its back and stomp hard. The big turtle knew that there was an extra person on its back, but it couldn't care about it, so it just crawled with its head down.

Seeing that the sea is getting closer and closer, Quan Hao's heart is not calm. If this is carried into the sea by a sea turtle and it rolls over again, it will be dumbfounded. And in the sea the strength and weakness are ectopic. If the turtle holds a grudge and comes up to bite him and drags him into the sea, he will be even more worried about his life. Must go down immediately.

No, I'll leave you a mark for whatever you say.

Quan Hao took the dagger and carved two words on the back of the turtle - the turtle. Time was tight, and he couldn't think of any good words. I had to think of something. And because of the bumps, the words are crooked. As he finished writing, he rolled over and fell knee-deep into the sea with a pop. The giant turtle had stretched out its paddle-like limbs and paddled without looking back.

The next time I bump into me, I will have your good fruit to eat. Quan Hao raised his fist and said hatefully.

Another thought: No, I'm not a person who scribbles and engages "here for a visit" in a tourist destination? And at most, others are at home and abroad, and I have carved them into the other world, wouldn't it be a crime?

Quan Hao, who felt deeply guilty, got up from the water and patted his ass to play.

The big turtle ran away, and there was another Quan Hao left on the island. With no one to accompany you, loneliness swells like crazy weeds. He had to work for his time. After building the residence, Quan Hao set up a wooden raft again. It took another three days to tie up the raft. In other words, Jeon Hao has been on the island for twenty-three days. At this time, he wanted to go back.

Loneliness is one aspect. I haven't spoken to anyone in almost a month, and I feel like my mouth is dull. Eat seafood every day on the island, and you can eat enough of the best things. Now Quan Hao wants to vomit when he smells fishy. The chocolates I brought said I wouldn't eat them, and there was only one box left. In addition, because the dagger is always cutting down trees, it has become dull and out of shape, and it can hardly even cut the flesh of the fish. The rope is also exhausted. The most important thing is that the gas storage chamber of the lighter is almost empty, and there is only one box of safety matches left. If you continue to stay, you may have to live a day when Ru Mao drinks blood. You have to plan ahead.

On the twenty-fifth day after landing on the island, Quan Hao cleaned the straw hut and put all the things that could not be taken away into the cellar. He glanced nostalgically at the shelter he had been sheltering for nearly a month, and put the packed backpack on his back. Embarked on a brand new wooden raft.

There were two oars and an artemisia on the raft, both of which he had freshly made. Artemisia is used where the water is shallow, and oars are used where the water is deep. Because the oars were not done well, it took almost an hour to row in front of the space-time gate.

Quan Hao's heart was pounding again, he didn't know where the next stop would be. This feeling of powerlessness is very torturous. The last time and the first world traveled this time were the same, and the second world last time traveled to Streamer City. If it's the same this time, then it means that the path of the space-time gate is fixed. Streamer City can't stay, I don't know what the battle has been like for so long. You have to travel two more times at once to return to your home on Earth. Of course, this is a conclusion drawn according to a fixed route, if the next world you cross to is not Streamer City, it will be a headache, and you will have to overturn it all over again.

Don't think about it, you have to wear it anyway. Jeon Hao said to himself. But I can't help but wonder, what is the next world?

He almost rushed through the space-time gate. Quan Hao already has experience, and the more he thinks about it at this time, the more confused he becomes, but he can't help but think about it. It's better to cut through the mess quickly than anything else.

After a moment, he opened his eyes. The scene in front of him stunned him.
