alien island

Chapter 21 The Land of Humidity

As soon as she got out of the cave, seeing such a mysterious environment, Ke Yiqiao raised her hand subconsciously, and used her fingers to twist the braid hanging on her shoulders back and forth.

It looks scary from the outside, but it doesn't matter, with Brother Zhang Yao and Brother Pei Yan by his side, there will be no problem.Comforting herself in her heart, Ke Yiqiao stayed on the ground, and carefully followed behind Zhang Yao and Pei Yan who were leading the way. As long as they were there, she would have the courage to stay in no matter how gloomy the environment seemed.

"Tch, what the hell kind of place is this? It's cold and damp." Impatiently, she pulled the clothes that were drenched on her body and stuck to her skin.Originally, Xiang Chen's body was not of the sturdy type, but at this moment, his lips were turned purple from the cold due to the cooling of the evening weather and the wet clothes on his body.

"Who knows, let's find a place to make a fire first, it's really cold enough." Jumping on the spot, Zhang Yao shook the firefly lamp brought out of the cave, and stretched out his hand forward to illuminate.Fortunately, he made these insect lamps, otherwise it would not be so easy to walk through this dark environment.

From the cave rock, Zhang Yao was the first to step on the ground below. As soon as he landed, he felt as if he was stepping on some soft object.I lowered my head and took a look at the insect lamp, only to find that there was a very thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, which made people feel soft when stepping on it.Pulling out his feet from the leaves, Zhang Yao continued to walk forward, the white moisture surrounded and attached to his body, making people feel even colder.

The surrounding trees look like pine needle-like leaves, pointed and thin, clustered in small bundles on the branches of the trees. As for the trunks of these trees, they are very straight, as if someone Deliberately draw the same with a ruler.Going deeper into the forest, gradually, those pine-needle-like forests disappeared, and broad-leaved dwarf trees with large leaves began to emerge.

I can't see the colors of these big-leaved trees clearly at night, but these leaves are really big, and the length and width of a leaf are about one meter or more.It is really tiring to move forward with these densely growing leaves blocking the road.When Zhang Yao lifted up a large leaf in front of him again, and was about to step over, he saw a pair of eyes shining with white light at a very close distance in front of him. Zhang Yao was so shocked that he stepped back, and his back directly hit the person who was following him. In front of Pei Yan behind him, Pei Yan quickly embraced him.

Pei Yan supported him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I seem to see a pair of eyes." Scratching his head, Zhang Yao stretched out his hand and lifted the leaf in front again, but the eyes had disappeared without a trace.

"Eyes, eyes? It's scary." Hearing that a pair of eyes would appear in this dark, uninhabited forest, Ke Yiqiao couldn't help but see the ghost movies she had seen before, which scared her She reached out and grabbed Xiang Chen who was closest to her.

"Eyes or something, is it your own blindness? Don't scare people in the middle of the night." Xiang Chen glanced at Ke Yiqiao who was pulling his sleeves, hesitated for a while, and then shook her off directly Grab the hand.

"Crack! Who's full and has nothing to scare you?" Zhang Yao stretched his head and looked ahead again. Those eyes really disappeared completely in the night. What kind of eyes are they?The way it appeared was scary enough.

"..." Pei Yan didn't speak, just walked forward and squatted down, touched the ground, then raised his hand that touched the ground, and rubbed his fingers together to feel something.

"What is it?" Zhang Yao felt that Pei Yan should know something, so he asked from the side.

Before Pei Yan could answer, Ke Yiqiao, who was standing behind, seemed to have discovered something, pulled Xiang Chen's clothes, pulled hard, pointed to the dark gaps between the surrounding leaves, and said, "You, look! Well, lots of eyes..."

"What?" Zhang Yao looked up and looked around, and saw many pairs of white eyes glowing in the gaps in the surrounding leaves, shining brightly in the dark, as if surrounding the four of them.

"Don't be afraid, it's a snail." Recalling the approximate name introduced in the book, Pei Yan felt that the most appropriate name to describe this creature was a snail.Although there are many differences and changes from the appearance and size introduced in the book.

"Snail?" Approaching the past, he pulled away the large leaves that were blocking the way, and those glowing eyes disappeared instantly again. This time, Zhang Yao stretched out the insect lamp in his hand, and walked in when he saw it. A few meters away, how many snail shells are as big as a small hill? !

The shell is swirl-shaped, the top is not smooth, there are many round bumps in the bumps, the color of the shell is very dull, no wonder it shrinks here, no one finds anything.The body of the big-shelled snail was tightly shrunk inside the shell at the moment, unable to see anything. Zhang Yao could only hold back his temper, and waited for the snail in the shell to stick out its head without speaking.

"Is it really a snail?" Xiang Chen, who came up behind Zhang Yao, had a rare curiosity, instead of standing aside and complaining like usual.

"Hush—" Stretching out his index finger to his mouth, Zhang Yao glanced at Xiang Chen, signaling him to be quiet, and don't scare those snails from coming out again.

Seeing that Zhang Yao dared to order him like this, Xiang Chen, who was a little dissatisfied, wanted to get mad, but he was also curious about the strange appearance of the snail, so he endured it and stopped talking.

After the surrounding area was quiet, some movements slowly appeared in the vortex shells that were stuck to the ground motionless. A soft mass slowly stretched out from the big shell, and finally even the head was gone. Finally stretched out.Dozens of pairs of tentacles protrude from the snail's small head, and the tentacles dangle slowly in the air. At the tip of the longest pair of tentacles, there are two eyes that can light up in the dark.The color of these snail meat is dark brown stripes, and there is a layer of sticky liquid on it. As long as they stay or crawl, they will leave this sticky liquid.

"It really is them!" Xiang Chen finally couldn't help but startled and said, those snails who had just poked their heads out, heard the sound, and immediately shrank their bodies back into their shells in fright.

The eyes glowing in the dark night are clearly visible at one moment, but disappear at the next moment. This is the truth.Because the snails were so frightened that they hid back into their shells instantly, Zhang Yao didn't see who the owners of the eyes were just now, because they had already retracted their heads and eyes back into their shells.

"Will these snails attack people?" Ke Yiqiao, who originally thought it was ghosts, was nervous and frightened. He was relieved to find that only snails were scaring them, but he was still a little worried about whether these snails would attack people. After all, They grow so big.

"I don't think so." Zhang Yao poked the snail shells with a wooden stick that still contained firefly larvae, and the snails shrunk tighter inside. With this courage and slow speed, they wanted to eat people. ?They're still a little more difficult, but...

"Is this snail edible?" Zhang Yao turned around and asked Pei Yan suddenly. After all, the fish in his stomach had been digested for a long time.

"...Non-toxic, but it will melt into water when exposed to heat. Do you want to eat it raw?" Along with the people, Pei Yan learned by himself silently while paying attention to the way others speak, so his speech is becoming more and more slick now. It is no longer the strange and simple words at the beginning.He looked at the snails on the ground, and felt that even if he ate them, he could only get a mouthful of mucus. The taste was actually not very good. Could it be that Zhang Yao likes to eat raw ones?

"Eat it raw... Forget it, let's find something real to fill our stomachs." Even if Zhang Yao's appetite is open, eating this big shell snail raw is still a bit of a psychological barrier.It's not such a difficult time yet, if you can find other food to eat, just eat other food.Patting his pants, stood up, Zhang Yao replied: "Then let's not waste any more time here, quickly find a safe place to settle down, light a fire and find some food to eat."

"Okay." Nodding in agreement, Pei Yan looked around, then closed his eyes carefully to listen to the movement, pointed to the direction ahead, and said, "Go there, you can rest."

"Oh? That would be the best, that Ke Yiqiao, Xiang Chen, hurry up and leave, don't be left behind."

"Well, I will follow." Ke Yiqiao agreed while shaking hands and nodding.

But Xiang Chen just snorted and didn't answer.But his steps were obviously faster, and he naturally didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhang Yao and the others.He also knows that he has been rescued by Zhang Yao and the others a few times, and he is a little bit unwilling. In fact, he also wants to show his ability to prove that he is not a waste material and a drag, and he does not want to be rescued by Zhang Yao and the others. He has always looked down upon him, treating him only as a weakling.

Xiang Chen knows that others have always regarded him as an arrogant and contemptuous second-generation official. It seems that no matter what troubles he encounters, there are people who can help him withstand them.Since he was a child, he has hardly had a good communication with his parents. His parents are always busy with work and entertainment, leaving him to the constantly rotating nannies and a bunch of high-end and rare toys.When he grew up a bit, he just gave him the money as a gift.His life has always been pampered, pampered by money, but unable to make a true friend, he can only give up on himself and squander his life in eating, drinking and having fun.

In fact, Xiang Chen also understands that those who put on exaggerated expressions of flattery and want to make friends with him actually just want to establish a relationship with his parents, no one really wants to be friends with him.Over time, he also simply revealed his attitude, yes, he is the second generation of officials, he is rich, he just looks down on people, anyway, no matter how bad his attitude is, others will not mind at all, and they will still greet him with a smile, wishing I can chat with him for a few more words.

Until this air crash, when he was washed up on the island alone, he was completely desperate. He had never lived such a life by himself, and he had never stayed with these ordinary people, and he had never eaten so much. Unpalatable things, and I have never slept in such an uncomfortable place. Many things that have never happened before happened like this.Xiang Chen actually wants to try to communicate with others normally, but the faults and attitude habits he has developed over the years make it impossible for him to communicate normally with others.

Those people who usually supported and held him are gone now, only a bunch of people are left who live for their own survival, and no one has the time and energy to pay attention to themselves.Until he met Zhang Yao and the others, they knew his identity and his bad attitude, but they didn't treat him courteously or indifferently because of this, they treated themselves like ordinary people.At that time he wanted to follow them, hoping to become friends.

However, Xiang Chen, who couldn't change his bad habits for a while and couldn't let go of his arrogance, had a stubborn mouth, although he kept complaining, but he felt a little bit of joy in his heart that he could gradually integrate into the normal circle of others satisfaction.
