Chapter 163 Pterosaur Island
Zhou Xirui will start to do whatever he thinks of. The next day, he was ready to go to Pterosaur Island. Atso said anything, and Dimo refused to stay. Zhou Xirui had to hire a bigger ship to go with them.
The ships on this continent are all made of wood, and there are ancient sails on them. There is no sense of security when sitting on them. They lie on the side of the ship, and the sea is within reach. On it, like an ant floating on the boundless water on a leaf, which made Acuo immediately feel panicked and short of breath.
When encountering sea monsters in the Pacific Ocean, they know that this type of wooden boat can't stand the fierce embrace of the octopus and sea monster. It's too fragile. Zhou Xirui, Atso and Dimo sat quietly on the deck with their backs on the port of the ship, and there was an inexplicable panic in their hearts.
There are six boatmen, who often fish in this area, so they know the location of Pterodactyl Island, but they never dare to land on the island, because in addition to pterosaurs attacking people, there are often bursts of trembling roars on the island. I don't know if there are any terrible monsters on it.
When Zhou Xirui and others came, the boat boss did not agree to send them to the island at all. Sending them there was equivalent to sending them to die. These fishermen' hearts were still full of kindness. However, when Zhou Xirui repeatedly said that life and death were voluntary, they were not responsible for it, and they took out 200,000 nies, these people finally agreed.
When the ship was 20 nautical miles away from the island, there were more pterosaurs in the sky. Zhou Xirui was a little worried that these guys would dive down and attack them like the Cretaceous pterosaurs. But the boatman said that there was no need to worry. Sure enough, the fishermen lit the torch soon. They said that the pterosaur was afraid of fire and did not dare to come down. These fishermen also dare to fish in this area for generations because they have mastered the weakness of pterosaurs.
After sailing for a while, you can faintly see the legendary pterosaur island on the edge of the sky, and many pterosaurs are flying densely over the island. Just as the shipman wanted to lean the ship over, a huge warship appeared in the blink of an eye and rushed to the sailboat.
Everyone shouted in horror and was about to hit it, but suddenly disappeared inexplicably. What the hem, was that an illusion just now? Acuo said in shock. What hallucinations? Everyone saw it. It was obviously a fucking warship. I also saw that the Rem was clearly written in English. Why did the warship come to the alien continent? It disappeared in a flash. It's really strange," Zhou Xirui said in a trembling voice.
"That's a ghost ship, which often appears and suddenly disappears, but if it happens to be hit when it doesn't disappear, it's really hit. It's too dangerous just now." The boat boss wiped the sweat on his face and said, "A few days ago, a fishing boat was hit. There were about ten people on the boat, and none of them Those who survived, the wives and children of those fishermen basically cut off their sources of livelihood. It's so miserable!"
Zhou Xirui and the other two were also scared out of a lifelong cold sweat. It seems that the danger here is definitely not just the superficial point, and it is still a little reckless to come here. When the sailboat approached the coast, Zhou Xirui said to the ship boss, "You can stay near the coast. It's too shallow here. The ghost ship should not sail here. After we go to the island, if we don't come back in two days, you can go back!"
The boss of the ship is full of people. He said worriedly, "After you go ashore, see that the situation is wrong, come back quickly. Let's wait for you for three days!" Zhou Xirui patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude. He had paid them the money before he came. They didn't have to wait at all. These fishermen were very simple, which moved Zhou Xirui a little.
After they got ashore, they tried their best to walk forward to a comfortable grove stretching to the coast; here they stopped for a while and sat down under a huge tree, surrounded by a shallow singing stream, turning waves along the cobblestone riverbed, from in front of their eyes Flow into the sea. Countless birds flashed with beautiful feathers and chirping over their heads. Zhou Xirui and Atso raised their heads to appreciate it. They thought it was an island full of demons, but they didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
When Dimo saw the tree, he instinctively jumped up the tree. He didn't know why he felt very comfortable staying in the tree. He jumped up and turned to the other side of the tree and suddenly hit a round thing. He picked it up and handed it to Zhou Xirui. He kept shouting, which made Zhou Xirui confused.
"What is this guy Dimo talking about?" Zhou Xirui laughed and said, "Is this guy talking about this round hairy thing? It must be a bird's nest, but this is just a coconut." They knocked the coconut open, but it was so disgusting that the nuts were so dry that they couldn't eat them at all. "Well," Acuo sighed, "I really miss drinking coconut water on Pirate Island before, just like almond honey."
Because the coconut must be overripe to fall naturally from the tree, it must be very difficult for them to find a fruit without dry fruit. However, they still enjoyed this fruit happily, because Dimo could quickly climb to the top and throw down a lot of coconuts. "I didn't expect that Dimo would have this benefit when he became a monkey!" Atso laughed and said, before the voice fell, the coconut fell on his head, making him grin and shout in pain. It turned out that this guy had committed Dimo's taboo again.
They continued to push through the dense bushes, and there were dense vine plants everywhere. Zhou Xirui had to open up a road with a knife. They came to the coast over there and saw a wide view. The forest stretched out to the island, and on the open ground in front of them, occasionally There are some unusual-looking single trees.
This immediately attracted Zhou Xirui's very observatory attention. He pointed to the trees and exclaimed, "Look at those strange lumps growing on the trunk. It's really strange!"
They went to follow and observed carefully. The way the fruits of these trees grew on the fruit stem was so strange, in the shape of a gourd. Zhou Xirui remembered that this plant was previously recorded in a book. Its hard peel can be made into bowls, spoons, bottles and other utensils. The local indigenous people cleverly used this as a container to drink water.
Acuo immediately picked up one of the gourds and wanted to separate it symmetrically from the middle with a knife, but failed: the blade slipped away and made the gourd uneven. That's so abominable!" Atso said, he threw the gourd on the ground.
"Stop," Zhou Xirui said; "You are too impatient, and those pieces are not useless at all. You try to make one or two spoons, and I'll make a plate."
After that, Zhou Xirui took out a rope from his pocket and wrapped it tightly around a gourd as close as possible to one end of it. Then he tapped hard with the back of the knife, and the rope fell into the shell of the fruit. After finishing this, he pulled the rope in a little; he tried his best to tighten the end of the rope, and the gourd fell down and separated just as Acuo hoped.
"How smart!" Acuo shouted. How on earth did you come up with this method?
"This method," Zhou Xirui replied, "is used by indigenous people. I got it from reading travel books."
"Well, this must be a good soup plate. Let's make another soup dish later," Acuo said, looking carefully at the gourd. But if you were going to make a bottle, what would you do?
"That's much easier than this operation, if possible. The most important thing is to dig a hole at one end, then take out the things inside and stuff them into some large and small stones: shake it vigorously, and the remnants of the fruit will be detached, and the gourd will be completely cleaned, and a bottle will be completed.
"If you want a more tangible object, you must pick it off when it is tenderer. For example, to make it have a long neck, you have to wrap a piece of cloth around the small gourd growing on the tree, and then the part you entangled will be swollen except for this part that is inhibited.
Zhou Xirui said that he had filled the gourd with sand and put them aside to dry; mark it and remember this place so that they could pick it up on the way back.
They continued to walk for more than three hours, closely searching for any signs of monsters on both sides of the road, and finally reached a well-defined headland. Here you can see many nests of pterosaurs stationed in the huge cliff. These pterosaurs spread their wings about ten meters. It is indeed an ideal ride.
They decided to climb the cliff over there, climbed for more than an hour, climbed over a very low cliff, and heard a howling of the mountain under the cliff over there, as well as the panicked cry of the pterosaur. He quickly accelerated his pace, hid behind a pile of rocks, and peeked at it. It turned out that a huge cat was pressing a pterosaur with its claws, and another pterosaur was flying over to fight with the giant cat. The pressed pterosaur was bleeding and its wings were crying from time to time.
"What kind of monster is this? It looks like a tiger, but it is much bigger than a tiger. It's just like a bus. Moreover, this monster has no tiger stripes, more like a super cat, but its call is different from that of cats and tigers. It seems to be dedicated to preying pterosaurs for a living. It seems that the size of the prey does determine the size of the predator," Zhou Xirui said.
"Haha, do you still eat beef? Why don't you look as big as a cow?" Atso said, Dimo hugged Atso's head and looked at the giant cat in horror.
"Hey, let's help the two pterosaurs. Look at the light shining in the eyes of the two pterosaurs. Obviously, they are two thousand monsters. If you save them, you may be able to subdue these two monsters. One of them was caught, and the other tried their best to save them. I guess it should be a pair of partners. I didn't expect that the monster would be so affectionate, but it was very touching!" Zhou Xirui said that he thought that it was rare for a pterosaurs to cultivate into monsters. Only when they become monsters can animals be humane, easier to communicate, and it is very convenient to transport goods in the future, so now is a great opportunity.
