alien island

Looking at the leaf map in his hand, Zhang Yao knew that they had reached the area marked above, where the orcs placed their ships.However, due to the limited size of the blade, he only roughly pointed out the location here. As for where the boat is placed, he still has no clue.

In the front area, the trees growing on both sides were gradually replaced by rocks, and clusters of tea-brown square crystals began to appear on the surface of the rocks that were originally monotonous gray mixed with black lines. more and more.

The translucent texture of the crystals spread almost all over the rocky ground, together with the sunlight projected from the sky, and the translucent brilliance reflected, form a beautiful form of brilliance and luster.Seeing that the ground was covered by clusters of these crystals of different sizes, Zhang Yao couldn't help being amazed, as if they had come to a fantasy realm like a crystal palace.

"Wow - what are these? Are they crystals?" Kneeling on the ground in amazement, Ke Yiqiao carefully stretched out her hand and touched the shiny crystals all over the floor. The texture felt cold and hard to the touch.She was completely amazed by the shape and quantity of these crystals, never had she seen so many beautiful stones growing together.Ke Yiqiao thought, no wonder when he came here just now, he felt the bright light flickering in front of him, which turned out to be refracted by these square crystals on the ground.

"Where are crystals everywhere? I guess these are things like calcite." For gems and various ores, etc., Xiang Chen has visited museums several times, and he often collects them at home. There are quite a few, so he has a little memory and impression of various gems and the like.

"Are these stones worthless?"

"Even if it's worth money, do you think you can move it? Hmph!"

"This..." Looking at the beautiful crystal stones all over the floor, Ke Yiqiao thought they were crystals, but Xiang Chen immediately denied that they were just some not-so-precious stones.She didn't know what these crystals were, so she turned around and asked Brother Zhang Yao and Brother Pei Yan: "Brother Zhang Yao, what are these?"

"Uh...Pei Yan, do you know?" Zhang Yao hadn't studied anything about ores, so he turned the question to Pei Yan who was beside him.

Pei Yan observed the crystals all over the ground, but didn't answer immediately.These crystals formed and grown on the ground looked somewhat like calcite described in the book.But regardless of their growth environment, hardness, and appearance, there are still many differences, and he is not sure what these crystals are.After all, for a person who was busy hunting and surviving on the island, he didn't think about going deeper into the research of ore, so Pei Yan slowly shook his head, unable to accurately answer Zhang Yao's question.

"Look, when Pei Yan stayed on the island, he couldn't be sure what these stones were, so don't worry too much about them. No matter whether these things are worth money or not, we won't be able to take them..."

If the ground was full of gold or something, Zhang Yao thought that he might still want to dig a few pieces and take them away.But these unfamiliar ones are still unknown stones bred on this terrifying island, so it is better to be careful.Who knows whether these strange-shaped crystals will release any harmful radiation substances, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"That's true." Since she couldn't be sure what these beautiful stones were, Ke Yiqiao thought about it, and she just asked curiously.Standing up from the ground, she patted the crystal gravel particles on her pants, and continued to follow Zhang Yao and the others.

Zhao Xiangguo and Liu Rong, who were originally following behind, looked at the crystals reflecting light on the ground, became greedy, and considered whether to dig some to take away. After hearing the conversation of the people in front, they also gradually calmed down.

I think they are exhausted enough to panic now, even if they want to take away the worthless stones on the ground, they don't have the strength to move them on their backs.In addition, they also tried to remove a cluster of crystals formed on the ground, and found that they grew extremely firmly, almost fused with the gray-black rock surface below.After knocking on the rocks scattered among the crystal gaps for a long time, none of them were broken.

Seeing that the people in front had gone a little further, they had no choice but to put down the stones in their hands and chase after them.Anyway, there are these crystals in front of them, enough for them to continue to experiment with the pull.

It gradually rises upwards on the flat ground, forming a high slope. Everyone must rely on grabbing the nearby crystals to climb up the slope.The angle of the slope became steeper and steeper. After climbing several crystal stone slopes with different bump angles, they seemed to be finally approaching the end of their destination.

Climbing up another slope full of square crystals, Zhang Yao lowered his head to look down, and immediately retracted his head.Didn't see the ship they were looking for, but saw a group of Chika orcs first? !

The slope where they were lying on their stomachs, after turning over, the other side continued to extend downwards, sinking deep into the ground.It seemed that the originally flat ground was forcibly split open by the strange force of nature.

The fault layers separated on both sides spread downwards, and the distance between the left and right ground was already close to tens of meters in width.On the right-hand side of the downward slope of the split, there is a group of orcs that Zhang Yao is very familiar with, turning from the bottom of the broken slope over there.

And this area at the bottom of the slope seems to be the final position of the ship built with the floating wood on the blade instruction map.Could it be that those orcs came here for that boat?Surprised and suspicious, Zhang Yao didn't dare to act rashly. He and Pei Yan stopped the other survivors who came after them one after another, and signaled everyone to keep quiet and keep quiet for now.

Everyone crouched on the hidden side of the slope, quietly waiting for the orcs to leave.Fortunately, they discovered it early. In addition, the side of the high slope they were lying on was not in an area where the wind was easy to expose the smell. It was not so easy for the orcs to find and notice them.

On the rock wall of the fault layer that extends down the slope, the color of the crystals that grow gradually changes from tea-brown to darker. The more crystals grow at the bottom, the color becomes darker, from tea-brown to dark brown. Then from dark brown to almost inky black crystal color.Part of it is not blocked by light and shadow, and the crystals under direct sunlight, the light refracted, almost dazzles people's eyes.And those all-black crystal surfaces that easily absorb sunlight after a day of scorching sun have become extremely hot and cannot be touched at all.

There are quite a lot of orcs coming from the corner.Zhang Yao took a careful look and estimated that there are more than a dozen or 20 at the bottom.Their appearance is similar to those seen in the Weishu tribe.There are orcs with hair all over their bodies, stout orcs with human heads and beast bodies, and there are even more beastmen with animal hair, head and human body structure.

Beside them, I also lead a few Zhang Yao in the tribe. I have seen them used before. They are huge like birds and insects, with huge back shells, covered with a layer of gray oval feathers, with sea turtles. Nest bird with webbed claws.A few orcs away, just holding that one.However, there are no orcs sitting on the flat shells of these nest birds, so what are these nest birds brought here by the orcs for?

The strangest thing among them is that these orcs and nest-shell birds were covered with blue-green powder like malachite by some unknown means.

The powder is all over their bodies, even their cheeks are covered with that color.Zhang Yao was at a loss as to what these orcs were up to. He could understand some of the graffiti he saw on the body during the festival, but it was smeared all over the body, even the nest shell bird. It's kind of weird when it's full.

Zhang Yao couldn't help turning his head, glanced at Pei Yan who was lying beside him, and asked Pei Yan questioningly, trying to figure out what was going on.

But for these strange behaviors of orcs and the things they wiped on their bodies, even Pei Yan, who was basically familiar with the island, couldn't figure it out. Seeing Zhang Yao's gaze shifted to him, he shook his head silently, Said that he is still not very clear.

When they saw the orcs leading the nest birds, they continued to walk to the left along the natural stone path that was cracked in the slope, until they disappeared slowly, Zhang Yao and the others did not make a sound.After more than ten minutes passed, Pei Yan listened for a while, and after confirming that the orcs had indeed gone far, he nodded to Zhang Yao.

With Pei Yan's nod, the people lying nervously next to him put their suspended hearts back to the original place, and let out a sigh.

Zhao Xiangguo and Liu Rong, who had never met a beastman before, were sweating coldly and their emotions were unstable.They couldn't believe their eyes. On this island, there were a group of creatures that looked similar to humans but were completely different. Although they didn't know how powerful they were, they saw the four creatures beside them. The young people all showed serious and shy expressions, and they could probably guess that these orcs were probably very difficult creatures to deal with.If you confront them, I really don't know what the consequences will be...
