The fat man said: "Old professor, have you ever heard of Longquan Immortality Water? The water is so tight. There is a Dragon King Crocodile in the water that is bigger than a mountain, and there is also a giant python that is longer than a river. But immortality comes and goes. , I have finally fulfilled my evil ways, but I have never seen half of the real immortals, so I still maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards this black water."
At that time, everyone hesitated on the speedboat for a long time, until the speedboat started again and went around an area extending outward on the island.
We are very close to the bones here, and we can clearly see that there are indeed dense human bones! These white bones have uniform characteristics. The bones are all short and probably represent a thirteen-year-old child.
What's even more surprising is that there is not a single leg bone among the countless white bones. If you look closely, you will find many fan-shaped bones. If they are flat and wide and connected to the human upper body, they will appear very abrupt.
The fat man pointed at the fan-shaped bones with an engineering shovel and said, "From this point of view, it looks more like the bones of a manatee."
We can already imagine that the upper body is a monster with a huge tail fin on the lower half of a human body. Is it possible that the undersea project relies on these monsters?
In order to find out the truth, we boarded the island cautiously. Although we took every step with great care, due to the numerous bones under our feet, the constant clicking sound when we stepped on it still made people feel very uncomfortable.
The six people were spread out on all sides, moving forward in a fan shape, echoing the shape of the bones beneath their feet.
I am very curious. The seawater has ebbs and flows. Although there are many bones, they cannot withstand the erosion of the seawater over time. So how does this dense "white ocean" remain?
I squatted down, and the other team members stopped and looked at me at the same time. They also had the same doubts in their eyes.
I suddenly found that the bones in the lower layer were particularly close together, as if they were tied together. This phenomenon was very strange. To confirm my thoughts, I grabbed a piece and lifted it hard, and several long bones around it swayed.
A closer look reveals the clues immediately.
There are several white lines as thick as hair where the bones intersect!
I just wanted to use a tool to pick up those white lines, but those things seemed to be alive and began to slowly retract, trying to hide deeper into the bones.
When I saw something strange, I immediately warned everyone to be careful. Everyone was startled and quickly gathered around me.
Human instinct is like this. When facing a sudden unknown risk, the instinctive reaction is to hold together for warmth.
These pairs of hard boots came very quickly, and the bones underneath were stepped on and crackled. At this time, everyone noticed something abnormal under their feet. A denser group of white threads hid among the bones in full view of everyone.
People watching this scene frowned, and their first reaction was to wonder if it was some kind of parasite.
These parasites have been buried among the bones all year round and have not been disturbed by external forces. They will only shrink back when they are stepped on.
Thinking about it more carefully, if they are really bugs, their movements are a bit too slow, and their behavior is very stiff, more like the vines of some kind of plant curling up due to heat.
The fat man was most sensitive to things like parasites. He lifted the soles of his boots and checked them repeatedly, fearing that these strange things might penetrate the leather boots unknowingly.
Long Wu's shoulder was supported by the fat man with one hand. Long Wu looked towards the depths of the island, sniffed hard, suddenly threw the fat man away, and strode out.
The fat man was caught off guard by the sudden move. He staggered and almost fell into the pile of bones. Fortunately, he pressed a hand on a flat bone in time to stabilize his body. Seeing that he had touched a rotten bone, he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
This made the fat man angry, and he started to curse: "Hey! What's wrong with your shoulders? Are you the fat man's brother?"
Lin Qi looked on proudly, with a contemptuous smile on his face, and secretly laughed at the fat man's actions just now.
These two people have always been at odds with each other, so I just frowned. The risk was uncertain at the moment, so I didn't pursue the matter immediately.
Long Wu's feet were like walking on the wind, making very little sound wherever he stepped. He reached almost the end of the group of bones, where the earthy color of the island had intersected with the group of white bones.
Long Wu looked at a spot and squatted there. He picked up a piece of white bone with red marks with the black gold mountain cutting blade in his hand and waved it towards us.
When we rushed over, we discovered that it turned out to be a fresh skeleton. This phenomenon was incredible. The innermost part of the overwhelming circle of bones actually contained scraps of meat.
Moreover, there were two severed white threads on the bone. The white threads were as soft as corn silk and attached to a piece of minced meat only the size of a fingernail. It was obvious that the rest of the flesh and blood had been sucked dry by them.
Long Wu said: "The owner of this bone should still be alive yesterday."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed and they all felt shuddering.
"How is this possible... Are you saying that what we are seeing in front of us is not the traces left by history, but what is happening right now?" Professor Yin was the first to question.
He didn't believe that any race would die like this one after another. No matter what kind of creatures they were, there was no reasonable reason for doing so. Could it be that they wanted to fill the entire island with their own bones in this way?
The fat man also wanted to say something bald, but he kept grabbing his palms harder and harder, and the changes that took place only took a minute or two.
The fat man's palms were extremely itchy. It was because he accidentally touched the white silk threads just now. The more he scratched, the more itchy he felt. He said he wished he could scratch them all, pull out the tendons, and scrape away the bone marrow before he could be relieved.
Avril hurriedly took out the first aid kit, but Long Wu grabbed the fat man's hand, took out a bottle of fresh water and poured it all down. The whole bottle of water soaked the fat man's palm, and he immediately stopped itching.
Avril didn't expect it to be so simple, and looked at Long Wu with a puzzled expression.
Long Wu explained that it was the marrow-sucking grass. This weird grass plant was extremely corrosive and could secrete an acidic liquid that made people feel miserable.
The strangest thing about marrow sucker is that it has no roots and is a plant that can move at will, so it is easy to be confused with parasites and other organisms. However, the living environment of this strange grass plant has high requirements on salt concentration, so the dilution of fresh water can instantly destroy all the effects of the toxin.
Is it really that easy to deal with marrow suckers? Don’t forget that this is an unknown area in the vast ocean. How easy is it to find fresh water on an island?
If we didn't prepare fresh water, the fat man would be itching like crazy within a few minutes, and his body would be out of control. He would scratch every inch of skin on his body, and blood would stain his body, attracting more marrow-sucking grass, and in the end only a pile of bones would be left. .
Therefore, on the island, the marrow-sucking grass assumes the identity of the messenger of hell. Even if you know how to deal with it, you will fall into endless despair because you can't find fresh water.
Looking up, the woods on the island are showing a tidal color. It has rained here. Although the marrow-sucking grass is not afraid of sea water, the rainwater on the sea is fresh water.
I suddenly thought, is this rainy night related to the dense bones?
At this moment, the sky is extremely blue, but I don’t know that this God’s face changes when he reads the playbook.
The weather at sea is the most untrustworthy. The change between the so-called clear sky and overcast clouds only occurs in an instant.
Sure enough, when the tide came in at night, countless blue creatures in the water climbed onto the beach. They had flat noses, diamond-shaped concave nostrils, upper limbs, and fish bodies underneath. The shape of the fish body did not include any scales.
They put their arms on the ground, flapped their lower bodies, and moved forward rhythmically in a crawling manner.
We hid in the dark and watched everything that happened. They wanted to rush up, but they became the sustenance of the marrow-sucking grass. There was a sudden shower, and one rushed up. We followed it to see what it was looking for, what on this island. Magic draws it.
The situation on the island is complicated, and the half-human, half-fish creature is extremely vigilant. The sound of us following us is very obvious as it shuttles through the dense vegetation. The half-human, half-fish creature panics and doesn't choose its path. Although it knows that we exist, it can only He could run forward without even looking back.
While chasing me, I asked everyone: "Does anyone have any advice on what this thing in front of me is?"
I have encountered sharks before. They look extremely vicious and have a very ferocious temperament. And he is extremely cunning, and generally would not do such a thing as flying into a flame.
Therefore, where the strange creature in front of us came from has become the key.
The fat man once claimed that he knew everything about the sea and belonged to the marshal of Tianpeng. When he reached the Ruoshui River, he turned somersaults upward with his magical power. He really dared to ask the five oceans to catch turtles.
But at this time, he also became mute, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, trying to spit out half a useful word.
Lin Qi sighed: "Hiss~~~A bat with feathers on it, what kind of bird is this?"
At this time, Professor Yin suddenly talked about the contents recorded on the pile of porcelain vases. He probably said that there was a description on the porcelain vases about a sudden fog on the sea and encountering an isolated island. At the same time, Professor Yin lamented that we were enemies on a narrow road. Maybe we, the group of people, found the rightful owner with this pile of porcelain bottles!
It turned out that when the First Emperor sent 3,000 young girls to Japan, something happened to the fleet, and more than 800 people were floating on the sea. By the time these people drifted to a desert island, only about 200 people were left, and the broken ship There were more than a dozen uneaten corpses neatly arranged on the board.
That's right, hundreds of living people managed to survive on the desert island relying on the corpses of hundreds of dead companions.
Initially, the resources on the desert island could not support the survival of hundreds of living people. They could only dig out the corpses of their companions that had just been buried in the sand and continue to eat them.
Little did they know that their behavior had caused various subtle changes in their bodies.
Warm-blooded organisms are different from cold-blooded organisms. Cannibalism rarely occurs among endothermic organisms, because this will produce a terrible mutant virus. The perpetrator will die more miserably than the victim.
Just like this, little by little, subtle changes, terrible mutations have occurred in the bodies of more than 200 living people who survived.
At first, their skin ulcerated, and malignant sores appeared like fish scales. After being accidentally touched, they would bleed.
Just when the remaining people were about to die on the desert island, the remnants of the Immortal Kingdom appeared, a race with human bodies and snake tails!
They interacted with the survivors on the island and miraculously saved these people.
