Chapter 85: Surely They Can’t All Be Weak?
Six o’clock in the morning.
Around the Island, ships from Various countries gathered.
The various storm vortexes that formed when the island was first created have all dissipated.
Now the entire Island is covered by a hazy mist, and this mist is still continuously dissipating around.
Through the mist, one can vaguely see the interior of the Island.
After preliminary tests, animals such as rats, dogs, and even Gorillas, entered the mist and were in good condition, without any abnormal reactions, and their physical data did not change.
After discussions, Various countries decided not to wait any longer, and the United Nations Temporary Management Committee supervised the scene, beginning to deploy the first batch of Exploration teams to the Island.
The teams that initially entered the Island involved thirty-five countries, with a total of twenty-seven Exploration teams.
Besides countries like Lighthouse, Da Qian, and Britain, which each dispatched an Exploration team, there were also many Small countries that chose to form Joint Exploration Teams due to insufficient manpower and outdated equipment.
In addition, there were other countries that had not yet arrived or were still watching, preparing to make a decision after the first batch of Exploration teams had results.
Just like that, two thousand seven hundred people, along with various equipment and supplies, began to enter from multiple landing points, and soon disappeared into the mist.
The mist surrounding the Island had a strong shielding effect, directly interrupting internal and external contact, but it did not affect the scientific detection equipment carried on the island from collecting various data.
In addition, the most important thing was to continue exploring inward, understand the ecological structure of the island, and discover various rare resources like Silver Steel Grass.
……
One hour later.
In the Jungle, northwest of the Island.
“Crunch, crunch.”
A curly-haired member of the South America Joint Exploration Team was devouring a Secret Pomegranate.
A teammate next to him asked:
“How does it taste?”
“Very good.” The curly-haired man said with a smile, “The taste, the Da Qian People described it very well, it’s very similar to coconut.”
As he spoke, he threw another Secret Pomegranate to his teammate.
The teammate rubbed it for a while, but didn’t dare to eat it, muttering:
“It’s better to be careful when you’re on the island, after all, it’s an unknown island, don’t eat things randomly.”
“Don’t worry, that guy ate it and was fine, we’ll definitely be fine too.”
The curly-haired man said boldly.
The people around also echoed with a smile:
“Fernando is right, Joao, you’re being too cautious.”
“Yeah, after all, it’s just a small island, not a real Floating Continent.”
“There’s no 【 sun 】 thing on this island, and there won’t even be torrential rain, at most there will only be some Wild Beasts.”
“If it’s Wild Beasts, that Da Qian People can easily do it, we can’t possibly fail, besides, the weapons and equipment we have are no joke, if we really encounter Monsters, let them see the power of modern weapons.”
Joao saw that his teammates were all very optimistic, and couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, casually putting the Secret Pomegranate into a Sealed bag.
Anyway, this thing is also considered an Island product, and it should have value to take it out.
Afterwards, everyone continued to explore inward.
Perhaps because the route they were taking was very similar to Qi Xuan’s back then, they didn’t find anything else besides collecting some unfamiliar Fruit, not to mention the imagined Ferocious beast, they didn’t even see a decent Bug, which made everyone feel very bored.
Suddenly, a series of clear Ringing came from afar.
Hearing this sound, everyone immediately entered a state of alert, each of them picked up rifles, submachine guns and other weapons, and spread out to encircle the front.
When they arrived at the source of the sound, everyone present was at a loss.
Because what was making the Ringing was a cluster of small blue grass.
“It’s Clear Bell Grass.”
After putting down his gun, Joao said:
“This should be a Medicinal Herbs.”
Everyone walked to the front, and the curly-haired Fernando directly picked a few plants:
“I remember this thing can also be eaten, right?”
A teammate next to him nodded:
“Indeed, that Da Qian People seemed to have eaten a whole cluster.”
“Actually ate a whole cluster? It seems like it should be delicious, let me taste it.”
Saying that, he stuffed a few plants into his mouth.
After chewing, he said with a smack of his lips:
“It tastes very similar to aloe vera, but my lips are a little numb, hiss, why is it getting more and more numb…”
Realizing something was wrong, he quickly spat out the grass leaves and juice in his mouth.
His whole expression was stiff, and then his whole body began to convulse.
Joao quickly took out the antidote, but before he could inject it, Fernando’s whole body suddenly twitched, and then he collapsed.
After listening to his heartbeat, Joao’s expression was complicated:
“No hope.”
Seeing this, the people around couldn’t help but look at each other.
That Da Qian People ate a cluster after cluster and was fine, how come when it came to them, they only ate a few plants and the person was gone?
Didn’t they say that this Clear Bell Grass only had a slight toxicity? You call this slight??
For a moment, everyone only felt very aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do.
You say they’re lying to you, but they did eat a lot.
Then it can’t be that Fernando is bad, right?
Fernando was so big, and he was gone in a blink of an eye, it should be about the same for them.
It can’t be that they’re all bad, right?
As thoughts lingered between bad and not bad, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the ground.
Watching the Clear Bell Grass in front of them swaying wildly, revealing the hole hidden in the grass that had just been splashed with juice.
Seeing this hole, Joao’s pupils suddenly contracted:
“It’s White Silk Blind Snake!”
Hearing this, the people present felt relieved instead.
White Silk Blind Snakes feed on Clear Bell Grass, and often reside around Clear Bell Grass, that Da Qian People had caught one and ate it raw after simple processing.
This means that what’s coming out of the ground is likely just a new ingredient.
And this hole is only the size of a Fist, how big can that thing be?
“Fist-sized?”
A sentence flashed through Joao’s mind:
“If the hole doesn’t exceed the size of an Egg, there shouldn’t be any problem, if it exceeds the size of an Egg, then it’s a bit dangerous.”
Even he felt it was dangerous…
Before he could finish thinking, the next second, the soil wave in front of them suddenly exploded, and everyone present was directly overturned.
Watching a thick, scale-less giant python, as thick as a waist, suddenly emerge from the ground, opening its mouth to reveal a ring of teeth as long as fingers.
Seeing this enlarged version of the White Silk Blind Snake, all the team members were almost dumbfounded.
“Fire!!”
In the roar, everyone frantically fired at the White Silk Blind Snake.
Bullets burst out a series of Blood Mist, the White Silk Blind Snake swung its tail, directly knocking more than a dozen people away, smashing them hard against the Woods, breaking bones and tendons, and vomiting blood.
“Cover! Cover!”
Everyone retreated in a hurry, using the surrounding Woods to continue shooting inward, and even several people took out rocket launchers and pulled the trigger.
In the violent explosion, the White Silk Blind Snake screamed and fell down.
But before everyone could be happy, one after another White Silk Blind Snakes of different sizes emerged from the ground, rushing towards them like enemies.
“No—!”
