Chapter 144
As time goes by, human civilization in the old world once again returned to a considerable level, but the sighting reports of sea kings have now become increasingly legendary - it is better to say that the seas in the old world are increasingly moving towards the past of a long time ago when they are closed. Whether it is the sea or land, it is gradually becoming safe, so that it is only two or three generations, and many people have regarded those monsters as folk legends.
But in fact, there are indeed many strange creatures in their daily lives, but they are not regarded as monsters - such as algae that absorb heavy metals and toxic substances everywhere, some kind of leech that spontaneously filters and cleans fresh water but does not suck blood, and even perennial tree-born rice that has now become an important crop... These are obviously strange creatures, but the old world does not regard them as monsters.
Of course, there are some creatures, such as rabbits about the same size as horses, and some new predators. In short, in this world, most places are already quite normal.
Human nature is to love war. As time goes by, countries that have restored basic technology have also experienced wars due to interests and beliefs. And this time, a professor who specializes in "folklore" discovered some interesting things, and some people sent him some information anonymously. In the information, he found a strange place.
It was an island located in the seas now known as the South Pacific, but it was not displayed on the map. On various maps, it was the birthplace of the terrible tropical storms from the South Pacific. Are these rumors true or false, and some even joked? It is difficult to confirm, but it does not prevent the professor from taking one of his students to check it out.
Generally speaking, those who study this thing are either rich or noble, and the same is true for this one. After leaving a note for his family, he hired a ship and a helicopter to enter the recorded location. The ship could not enter when it reached a certain level - the complex sea conditions and storms and huge waves made him unable to enter by helicopter.
Originally, the pilot refused to take risks, but he still compromised with a lot of money. When the helicopter rushed through the storm while the adrenaline-exploding pilot risked his life to fly, what appeared in front of him was the clear white clouds and the huge island in front of him. On the flat ground on the edge of the island, the helicopter landed. The professor and the students were so happy, "This is true! It is true!"
The ships on the sea were waiting for twenty-four hours, and it had exceeded the agreed time, and then the radio call did not respond at all. They knew that there was an island inside and had successfully landed, but they had not responded yet. The situation was probably serious, so they had to call the police...
When his family paid for a rescue team, it was already a week after the accident. People who also ventured into the storm discovered the helicopter parked on the beach, and the landing search and rescue personnel did not find the helicopter damaged, and experienced personnel found the steps of leaving and the traces of the drag.
"There are beasts here." Someone said, "Get the weapons, it seems we are in trouble." The team members walked along the path that might be the beast path, and after passing through a series of caves, they appeared in front of them. It was the scene inside the island. It was the continuous water surface and the scattered hills, which could be regarded as a beautiful water town. However, those present also knew that there must be many terrible things under this beautiful scenery - such as poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, blood-sucking lees and something else.
However, I still have to look for someone. When I was advancing along the road exposed to the water, the water surface suddenly bulged in front of everyone's left, and huge backs and horns covered with water plants and moss appeared in front of people - it was a buffalo that was so huge that it had never seen before, several times larger than an elephant. The buffalo that was chewing water plants in its mouth.
"If I were you, it would be time to turn my head back now. This is not a suitable place for travel." A voice sounded next to the people who were staring at the buffalo in a daze. It was a man who could not tell his age, as if he was in his forties or fifties, but seemed to be only in his twenty or thirty years old. This man was standing on the water surface, rippling slightly from the circles of water waves at the soles of his feet.
It is always a good thing to be able to see people and be civilized people who can talk. Although this person is very strange and can stand on the water, since they have guns in their hands, it is not very scary. So among these people, the captain and the professor's family came up to talk to him, wanting to ask about the situation here.
The man did not say who he was, but gave them an answer, "Go back, the person you mentioned had not had time to save him, he should have died. This is not the place where humans should set foot on. It is best not to ask the secret here, and forget the place when you go back. This is not our place, but theirs." The man stretched out his hand and signaled the people to turn back quickly, "The weapons in your hands are useful, so you must pay attention to the surrounding situation... If I were you, it would be right to open fire first if I find any abnormality."
The family refused to accept this conclusion and still hoped to go in and find it. The man shrugged, "This is not my territory. If you want to go in, you can go in. Follow this road. Goodbye, everyone." Then the man turned around, walked to the side where it looked like a rock crack, and then disappeared into it.
The uneasy people continued to walk forward, but until they passed through the entire paddy field, they did not meet a creature that was more dangerous than a buffalo. Until they entered the jungle... "What is this!" As the trees trembled, someone fired first after hearing the words. A strange-looking creature appeared from the trees, fell to the ground and kept dying and twitching - its body fluid flowed out of the broken body. "What a big mantis, this should be a mantis?" No one walked up, but they each kept expressing their opinions from a safe distance.
