Chapter 308: The Secret of the Island
"Let's go, let's go!" Let this group of shrimp crawlers see who is the boss of this island!"
The sword master impatiently drove everyone off the ironclad ship.
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and shouted loudly at the Red Demon Shrimp who were trying to but did not dare to attack.
"Ugly bastards, hit me!"
In a word, this group of red devil shrimps, as if they really understood human words, hugged their claws on the sand, and rushed towards Ye Ling, snoring.
Turning around, Ye Ling drew his sword and threw out a sword light at a speed that this group of beasts couldn't understand at all.
This sword is extremely wide, and it contains Ye Ling's cultivation that has been refined in recent days.
In the blink of an eye, several prawns covered in red armor, their armor was melted by the sword, and they were instantly broken into two.
The Red Demon Shrimp Group was stunned, not daring to rush up again, nor daring to retreat, with their backs to Ye Ling.
The sword master on the ironclad ship looked at the situation on the island with a telescope.
"My brother, this is something that ordinary people can't compare, this group of red devil shrimp can't be blown up with zha medicine, he can solve a large piece with such a light sword!"
The Red Devil Shrimp looked at their fallen companions and panicked.
They all stared at Ye Ling and slowly stepped back......
Dozens, or even hundreds, of Red Devil Shrimp, like a tide, formed a gradually expanding circle around Ye Ling.
Ye Ling didn't move.
Suddenly!
Not just somewhere, there was the sound of giant claws striking stones.
Knock! Knock!
After three sounds, the Red Devil Shrimp turned its head, and ran towards the depths of the island like crazy!
This scene couldn't help but cheer everyone up.
In just a few breaths, the beach was so empty that not a single shrimp shell remained.
However, Ye Ling just let them escape and didn't make any further moves.
Collect the sword.
"Catch up with them and see where they go!"
"Good. ”
The crowd followed the shrimp and burrowed into the green woods of the island.
Dao Ye's telescope could no longer detect Ye Ling, so he took it down.
"Send someone to monitor the bottom of the ship, these things may attack the bottom of our ship!"
............
On Ye Ling's side, after shuttling through the woods for a while, the terrain became more and more complicated.
The forests on the island are different from the land.
There is abundant moisture here all year round, the land is moist, and stepping on it is a foot of mud.
The trees are also moist all year round, the rhizomes are extremely tough, and the knife and axe may not be effective.
Ye Ling roughly estimated that this forest has a history of at least 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years, and because there has been no human traces, it still maintains the most primitive style.
It was such a place that this group of terrified Red Devil shrimp was actually rampage inside.
The vigorous rhizomes, with the slightest blow of their giant claws, were beaten into mud and dug deep into the dirt pit.
Even those nameless ancient trees with brown and black bodies and as solid as wood and stone were staggered by them.
How many monuments have been destroyed in one chase!
Today's action, fortunately, Xiaotang was not present, otherwise she would have to use capital punishment to deal with these shrimp crawlers.
After chasing for about a quarter of an hour, the area of this island was far larger than they had imagined.
At this moment, Ye Ling ran past a weathered stone pillar.
"That's not right!"
Ye Ling stopped suddenly.
He turned and ran back towards the stone pillar.
Xiaoya and Ah Tao also stopped.
"On this stone pillar...... There are words?!" Shen Tao exclaimed.
Obviously, it was for this reason that Ye Ling stopped.
"Indeed, we are not the first to land on the island. ”
This mysterious, spiritually powerful island must be hiding some secrets.
Ye Ling inspected the entire body of the stone pillar and found that its weathering was too severe, and the humid sea breeze of the island corroded it to the point that there were only seven or eight sporadic recognizable characters left.
"Ye Ling, this isn't Hong Yuan's text, right? I don't understand. Garcia stroked the notch on the pillar and said.
"Yes, this is not a Hongyuan text. ”
In his mind, a burst of ancient knowledge poured into Ye Ling's mind like a torrent.
"This is the 'summer system'. He said.
"What is that?"
"We talked as we walked. ”
Ye Ling motioned to move on.
They don't need to run like they used to.
The group of Red Demon Shrimp had already lost Ye Ling's target, thinking that they were out of pursuit, and their movements became extremely slow.
Now everyone must not only be slow, but also move very slowly, keeping a hidden distance.
Just taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ling could communicate with them.
"The Xia system is the official script used by a small country called 'Xia' before the unification of the Hongyuan Empire. ”
"Is their country near the East China Sea, and how can there be their monuments here?"
Ye Ling explained: "It was mentioned in the "Ancient Kingdom Scripture Examination" of Wei Yannian, a scholar of the current dynasty, that the Xia Kingdom is located in a place called Lancheng, and after research, Lancheng is roughly located in the east of the desert, far away from Yuyang City, but it is a little close to our Tianyan Palace. ”
"It's funny, such a distant country would appear in this place where birds don't. ”
Ye Ling pursed his lips and said, "I already have a guess in my heart, but I need to continue to move forward to confirm it." ”
"Then let's go. ”
Following the Red Devil Shrimp, they got closer and closer to the center of the island, and Ye Ling's destination was also that place.
The shape of the entire island looks like a gentle mound shaped like a pot lid from the outside.
But in the midst of it, Ye Ling found that when approaching the center of the island, the terrain was concave downward, but this lowland was hidden by towering ancient trees and could not be detected from the outside.
On the low ground and the high slopes, everyone saw a scene that shocked them!
Below, in an area of 100 acres, there are dozens of collapsed and weathered shacks along with the topography.
Ye Ling found that this was a temporary residence built with black bark and soil.
"Here...... There's actually a whole village ......," Shen Tao muttered to herself.
"This is not a village. Ye Ling said in a low voice, "Look at the material of this wall, it is obviously a temporary and hastily built residence. ”
"But there are no good materials here, and it is difficult for the Qiao women to cook without rice, and they have no stone bricks to take care of, so they can only use clay. Shen Tao put forward his own idea.
Ye Ling shook his head, pointed to the distance, and said, "If there are only earthen houses here, and there are no strange stone pillars, then I agree with your idea." ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Ye Ling's finger.
Sure enough, in front of these shoddy earthen houses, there are more than a dozen beautifully carved white jade pillars.
