Chapter 68: New Discoveries on the Island
When Su Yueya was looking for the source of the sound of water, Zhao Ganyu was chopping down coconuts. Food was always the primary issue on the deserted island. What made Zhao Ganyu even more worried was that if the sea water did not rise back, would the bones be exposed all the time?
It’s not just a terrible problem. Zhao Ganyusi thought about it and felt that the emission of those corpses was too deliberate. It not only meant that they were buried or placed artificially, but also that the person who placed them must have some intention.
There were human activities on this desert island. Although I don’t know how high the sea water was at that time, should most of the beaches and land be exposed outside the sea like now, or should the bones of these people be buried under the sea like the previous two days ago.
Judging from the situation of corals and seabed reefs, Zhao Ganyu feels that the latter is more likely. Corals and reefs cannot be formed in a day or two, so this area of seabed must be longer than the time when the corpse exists.
So who is it? Why do you have to bury so many dead people neatly in the sea?
And why are there only corpses? There are not many traces of human activities on this island?
After all, they have not found any other places where humans are active, except for the broken house.
Just as I was thinking about these clues, a naturally mature coconut suddenly fell from the tree with a click.
It hit Zhao Ganyu's side with great accuracy.
"I'll go!" Coconut is only one step away from Zhao Ganyu. Zhao Ganyu only felt that his heart was about to stop beating at that moment, and he was even about to forget how he breathed.
After several seconds, although Zhao Ganyu felt that it had been a long time, he almost suffocated himself to death, he took a breath. His heart jumped up wildly. Cold sweat quickly wet Zhao Ganyu's clothes like rain.
"Oh. I'm scared to death." Zhao Ganyu's hands were still shaking when he picked up the coconut, and his legs were weak, "Forget it, go back and rest for a while."
He picked up the coconut and was about to turn around, but suddenly he found that a pit had been smashed on the ground just now.
This pit looks a bit strange.
Zhao Ganyu put down the coconut and bent down, carefully plucking away the floating soil around the pit.
The fingertips came with a different touch than the soil.
Quickly spread the larger area, the touch under Zhao Ganyufa was obviously like a stone. Blow off a layer of dust floating on the surface, and the bottom was a hard and cold touch, which looked like part of a stone slab.
No, maybe it wasn't a stone slab. Zhao Ganyu couldn't be sure what this thing was. What he could be sure of was that this thing must be very big. Because after discovering that the touch was like a flat stone, Zhao Ganyu expanded the excavation range, but the stone slab under his hands could not see the edge.
More importantly, when Zhao Ganyu stopped, he found carved patterns in his class. These patterns could not be formed naturally, but must have been carved with tools. Moreover, the patterns showed a certain regularity and looked very similar to words.
There was indeed human survival on this island. Zhao Ganyu became more and more sure of this. But when he was about to continue digging, he suddenly heard a scream coming from not far away.
It's Wu Zihao.
Zhao Ganyu could only put this stone first, after all, the stone would not leave without feet. But Wu Zihao didn't know what happened.
"Wu Zihao?! What's wrong with you, Wu Zihao?" Zhao Ganyu walked towards the direction where Wu Zihao's shouting came, while raising the axe high.
"Help! Help--" Wu Zihao's voice was getting closer and closer to Zhao Ganyu, and it sounded like he was running.
Wu Zihao must have been chased by a beast. Zhao Ganyu tightened his axe, took a twelve-point spirit, and rushed towards Wu Zihao.
Through the increasingly dense trees, Zhao Ganyu's arm had many scars cut by branches. But now is not the time to care about these minor injuries.
"Wu Zihao, where are you?" Zhao Ganyu had just finished calling, and a figure flashed past him.
It's Wu Zihao.
But this kid appeared too suddenly, and Zhao Ganyu almost nervously smashed the axe in his hand. As soon as Wu Zihao ran over, Zhao Ganyu focused on dealing with the beast chasing Wu Zihao.
But there is nothing.
"Wu Zihao, what's your name?" Zhao Ganyu had already received enough fright today, and he really didn't want to follow Wu Zihao to get nervous anymore.
Wu Zihao hid behind Zhao Ganyu tremblingly, pointed to the direction he came and said, "Yes, there are crocodiles chasing me, chase me! Save me, Brother Zhao!"
"I'll go, this is an island, where are some crocodiles coming out? And, and..." Before Zhao Ganyu finished speaking, he heard the sound of stomping branches in the woods.
The crackling sound sounded very powerful and was heading towards their location.
Zhao Ganyu was a little hesitant. It was said on TV that crocodiles actually ran very quickly. If they ran away casually now, would one of them eventually be caught up? Or would they be lost in this forest?
Moreover, crocodiles have skin and flesh... What does it mean to be brave to be evil? Zhao Ganyu feels that this is what he is talking about.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still only a rhythmic crackling sound in the forest, and half of the crocodile was seen.
"What's the situation? Is it really a crocodile?" Zhao Ganyu was a little suspicious of whether Wu Zihao was misunderstood.
But Wu Zihao nodded vigorously with an absolutely right expression on his face: "It must be a crocodile! That long one! The shiny armor! The tail also broke a tree!"
What he said is quite satisfactory.
Zhao Ganyu decided to check the situation by himself: "Zihao, follow me. If a fight happens later, please help me hold my mouth together. The strength of the crocodile mouth is biting force, and the tension is very weak. Or use your knife to stab the eye. The eyes are the weakest places in all creatures." Zhao Ganyu has already tried this on the porcupine.
"Ah? I'm going to do it too?" Wu Zihao brought a knife, but he chose it himself as the kitchen knife on the boat.
Zhao Ganyu looked at the kitchen knife and said, "It's okay to use it. If it really doesn't work, run away quickly. Well... it's okay to climb a tree!"
After discussing the countermeasures, the two of them carefully headed towards the source of the crackling sound.
Before he could take two steps, Zhao Ganyu saw a giant figure lying on the ground and moving towards this side. His first reaction was to raise the axe high and prepare for the fight at any time.
But when you look closely, the thing doesn't seem to look like a crocodile.
Because although it is large in size, it has a strange yellow-black pattern on its body and its tail is short and fat. In addition to its armor like a crocodile, it looks more like a hard shell gecko overall.
The action of this thing was extremely slow. Zhao Ganyu and Wu Zihao had been standing there for a long time, and the big lizard-like thing had not yet crawled in front of them.
