alien island

"Clap!"

Touching a vine hidden in the bushes in front of him, a vine that is almost the same color as other plants and integrated into one, in the next second, a long row of extremely sharp claw-shaped wooden thorns suddenly popped up on the ground, each There are still many extremely sharp wooden thorns growing on the claw-shaped wood. If Pei Yan hadn't noticed it and triggered this mechanism in advance, people who accidentally stepped on it without knowing it, if they touch this mechanism, If the feet are light, they will be pinched, and if they are severe, they may be pinched off and become disabled.

After blowing a whistle, Zhang Yao squatted beside the wooden spike row that had been triggered and was no problem, looked at the ferocious trap on the ground with his eyes, and asked, "How many traps have we discovered today?"

"There are already more than ten, are those orcs annoying?" Xiang Chen's face showed obvious impatience, and he was so irritable. He was stuck all the way and encountered all kinds of differences He was quite annoyed by the dangerous organs that captured him, and he also clearly saw that these hidden organs would not directly kill people, but at most trap people or injure people. The situation where they couldn't escape was probably set up by those orcs to ambush them, a terrifying mechanism specially created to capture humans.

"It seems that the orcs have already been dispatched. With so many checkpoints set up, it seems that they don't want people to go to the rift valley easily. I guess they will be hard to chase after they get there." Stand up from the ground Come on, Zhang Yao thought about the four of them. They have been walking in the forest for two days since they started heading towards the rift valley. The closer the rift area is, the more it becomes.

The orcs thought they were unwilling to let anyone pass by, so they set up so many hunting traps in the area approaching the rift valley, just to catch or block people's footsteps, so as to prevent them from going further. Tracking in a rift valley with fog deposits.

It's a pity, these traps of orcs are not worth seeing at all. Pei Yan, who is also a master trapper and has keen visual observation, noticed it in the fastest time. The safety trigger abolished these hidden ambushes , so everyone walking this way can be safe and sound.No, another newly discovered trap was quickly disarmed by Pei Yan.

Although traps and traps are very annoying, but Zhang Yao thinks that there are not many traps that he will encounter in the area he will enter later, because in the forest in front, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, from the towering huge black volcano In the mouth, the dense fog is slowly spreading out, and the location of the rift valley is very close. He estimates that everyone will be able to enter the rift valley belt after walking for a few hours.

I don't know if it's a sensitive issue. Zhang Yao always feels that he can also smell some strange smells in the mist. He can't describe what it is like, but the smell is really unbearable. It makes him feel irritable when he smells it. Taking out the extra men's clothing from the bag Ke Yiqiao was holding, rolled it up around his nose and mouth, Zhang Yao also wrapped it tightly for Pei Yan who was next to him in the same way as last time. In fact, he knew that Pei Yan's nose was sensitive, and it would definitely be difficult to bear the dense fog surrounding them in the place that was about to go deep in front, so he thought it would be better to surround them with something to block it a little bit.

Just as he was raising his hand to help Pei Yan wrap his clothes around, Zhang Yao approached the back of Pei Yan's cheek, but suddenly Pei Yan stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly. His eyes turned to Pei Yan, and Zhang Yao saw Pei Yan's "natural" ''s expression, as if licking him is a matter of course, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and with both hands, he tightened the knot he was tying his clothes to both sides, and lowered his voice to warn: "You fucking be safe ..."

"..." Pei Yan, whose mouth and nose were tightly bound by Zhang Yao's clothes, obediently kept quiet and stopped moving.

Except for the two of them, Xiang Chen and Ke Yiqiao standing next to them looked as if they couldn't smell the mist at all, so they continued to maintain their original status and walked forward.

After walking for more than two hours, passing through the oppressive and dense fog around them, and being almost invisible beyond the visual range of one meter, the four people finally noticed that the fog in front of them began to gradually thin out. In the fading fog, the rift valley they were looking for also revealed its true colors.

The rift valley, shrouded in a thin purple mist, twists and turns and stretches forward endlessly, with almost no end in sight.And the four of them were standing on the steep rock wall on the side of the rift valley, at least a few hundred meters away from the bottom of the valley.

Both sides of the rift valley are full of broken walls and cliffs. The mountains are undulating like two towering walls. The bottom of the valley belt is flat and open. Where there are lush weeds and many flowers of strange colors, swaying with the breeze, the trees are verdant and full of vitality, and beside the grass, there are some blue water pools that gather together, which supply the plants And the creatures at the bottom of the valley, the water source that continues to survive.

Since they are still standing on the rock wall on one side, it is better to walk in the bottom of the valley if they want to travel from the rift. Zhang Yao looked at the steep slope going down. The rock particles are relatively small, and they are all made of gravel. Composed of blocks, if you rush down quickly, it is estimated that you will reach the bottom of the valley in a few minutes.

So, he and others suggested to go straight down, as long as they kept a basically safe posture, it would save a lot of time compared to them climbing down slowly.Looking at the sky under the cover of fog at this time, it is almost evening, and the purple clouds are densely covered. If they don't hurry down to the bottom of the valley to find a shelter for tonight, they don't know where to rest and breathe tonight.

Looking down carefully, the slope was full of rocks and the height was not low. Ke Yiqiao swallowed nervously first, only feeling that the palms of her two hands were sweating, and her heartbeat was also accelerating rapidly. , She has never tried to rush down the slope directly, and she is very afraid that she will fall and roll down. Although she is very scared in her heart, Ke Yiqiao feels extremely disturbed when she thinks that if it is due to her own reasons, everyone will be hindered Wake up, now is not the time for her to be afraid, she decided to try bravely.

Seeing that Ke Yiqiao was obviously a little scared, but pretended to be calm, and Xiang Chen, who was actually a little nervous beside him, turned around and asked her: "What? Are you scared?"

"I……"

"Hmph, don't pretend, your face is already pale with fright."

"This is a bit high..."

"...It's true...it's a bit." Turning his head slightly, Xiang Chen carefully went down the rock wall, looked at the height, and had to admit that only Zhang Yao and the others could feel relaxed about rushing directly down. Simple.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that Xiang Chen's and Ke Yiqiao's complexions had become sour, Zhang Yao, who was moving his arms and legs and preparing to dive, asked.However, he figured it out after thinking about it, and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go down first, you see what I do, it's okay, just go down boldly." Get ready, Zhang Yao looked around Pei Yan, who was next to him, nodded to each other, and the two leaned down first, maintaining a stable and safe posture, and rushed down the slope full of rubble.

Stepping on the gravel all the way, it can be regarded as rushing and slipping, feeling the wind whistling from both sides, the gravel was trampled under the feet, making a crackling sound, in fact, it felt quite refreshing, Zhang Yao raised a Shaking his hand, he signaled to the two little ghosts who were still frozen on the top of the cliff to come down quickly.

Seeing that the two of them had already gone down, Xiang Chen took a deep breath and was ready, and rushed down with his legs.And Ke Yiqiao saw that everyone went down, although his feet were still trembling, he still slid down the gravel slope.Along the way, she yelled uncontrollably. Although the yell was miserable enough, the body that slid down maintained a good balance. The top of the cliff on one side of the rift belt slipped to the bottom of the slope.

"Girl, how are you? Are you injured?" Seeing Ke Yiqiao who was sliding downhill smoothly, Zhang Yao sat down on the ground. You didn't get hurt, right?

"It's okay, it's just that my legs are a little weak..." His eyes were blurry, looking at various scenes, they flashed past in front of him, and it didn't take long before he slid down like this. After Ke Yiqiao was sure that he was indeed safe, his legs immediately She softened, looked up at the person standing next to her, and said with some embarrassment: "Wait, wait a minute, I'll be fine, I'll get up right away."

"Okay..." Zhang Yao nodded to express his understanding. He, who is used to being rough, would never understand that as an ordinary petite girl who doesn't usually exercise much, the downhill move that she had just mustered up her courage to complete independently was a How difficult it is.Anyway, for Zhang Yao, he just thinks it is a very simple thing, everyone can do it, and there is nothing difficult to do.

The fog at the bottom of the valley seems to be thinner than that on the cliffs. It may also be because of the fall of night. The fog is gradually disappearing. The purple fog ejected from the volcano seems to be more active during the day.So Zhang Yao also untied the clothes around his face.

In order to be farther away from the direction of the orc tribe and safer, after reaching the bottom of the slope, several people did not stop their footsteps, but continued to move forward, wanting to walk a little longer, and then went to find the shelter at night Rest and settle.

After bypassing several roads, Pei Yan, who was walking in front, seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and stopped first, while Zhang Yao, who was walking beside him, wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't know what was going on. In the past, the sense of improved vision and hearing made Zhang Yao slightly aware of something wrong ahead, and Ying Ting's eyebrows could not help but frown.

"Brother Zhang Yao, what's the matter?" Seeing that Zhang Yao's expression became serious and he stopped in his tracks, Ke Yiqiao followed behind and asked in a low voice.In the front area, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but there are many large orange-red mixed with blue spiral plants, which grow densely on the ground beside the cliff at the bottom of the valley, and on the other side is a flat ground. Didn't see anything wrong.

"There is movement inside those leaves." Zhang Yao replied in a low voice, Zhang Yao didn't turn his head, and continued to focus his gaze, observing the gaps between those brightly colored leaves.

"What kind of monster?" Xiang Chen could not help but vigilantly pulled out the bow and arrow from the quiver on his back, took it into his hand and started to prepare, a little nervousness began to rise in his heart.

"I can't see clearly yet, but the number is probably not very small." He could already see the black shadows running frequently among the leaves, and Zhang Yao didn't know what strange things they were.

And Pei Yan, who was beside him, seemed to have observed what the creature in the plant was, and helped Zhang Yao to explain, "It's the Thundermark lizard..."

"Thunder-striped lizard?"

After hearing Pei Yan's explanation, Zhang Yao couldn't help repeating, how big is a lizard?Would it be offensive to them?

Before he could think for a second, he seemed to smell the strange smell of the four of them. The creatures hidden in the colorful leaves began to come out one by one from the bottom of the leaves.

The body is more than one meter long, and the color on the body is almost the same as the plants behind them. It has a bright orange belly and a dark blue back surface, and some light blue grows out of it, forming a pattern similar to thunder. shape on their backs.If you observe carefully, you can find that their skin is extremely rough, and their whole body is composed of small and protruding round granular scales. The scales are arranged neatly and horizontally, their limbs are thick and strong, and there are sharp claws on their fingers.The side of the tail is flat like a ribbon, much like a long sword. The scales on the back of the tail are arranged in two rows of short ridges. The wide-open mouth is full of fangs. The tongue is like a poisonous snake with forked tops, and it is spit out and retracted in the mouth. dangling.

The dozen or so large lizards that sprang out at once were no joke, and their colors were so bright. In such a wilderness, the more colorful the species, the more terrifying they are.

Although Zhang Yao remembers that lizards seem to have long teeth, even if they grow, they don’t grow into what he sees now. The mouths of these lizards are so sharp and huge, and they are surrounded by three rows of dense teeth...

Forget it, he shouldn't have seriously compared the creatures on this island with the creatures he had seen before.

Seeing the Thunderstripe lizard crawling towards them, making a "hissing" sound, Ke Yiqiao clenched the short spear in his hand, and asked a question that seemed superfluous in the current crisis situation. Question: "Do they... attack people?"

"Girl... Do you think they are here to express friendship with us?" Zhang Yao looked at the gorgeous Thunderstripe lizards that were getting closer and closer to the four of them. He didn't believe it. These lizards came to say hello to them.

When the thunder-striped lizards climbed to a distance of several meters away from the four of them, they stopped suddenly. Their heads were suddenly raised, and their throats bulged outwards. From the back of their necks, like an umbrella, a large blue skin fold with jagged edges spread out, and a piece of skin around the back of their necks In order to show their aggressiveness and threatening ability, their mouths continued to scream, towards Zhang Yao and the others, and quickly rushed over...
