The Cursed Ship

Chapter 102: Weird black tree

   Zheng Yang still did not go to sea in the end.

   He returned to the driver's cab and drew a coordinate map on white paper, each grid was ten nautical miles, and then drew the trajectory after entering the Ross Sea on the coordinate map, and recorded the location of the small island next to it.

   This is his nautical chart in the Ross Sea.

   After finishing this nautical picture, Zheng Yang miraculously recovered his calm. When the time was approaching three o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yang came back to sleep in the bedroom and went to sleep smoothly.

   Just after seven o'clock, Zheng Yang and Saiyulali woke up.

   Neither of them felt the discomfort of last night, thinking it was the adaptability of the extraordinary physique that helped them adapt to the magnetic field here, so they didn't care about it anymore.

   The wind and waves are still a bit big, it has been maintained at levels 4 to 5, which may belong to the normal state of the Ross Sea.

   The sun has risen, and it hasn't been blocked by the clouds overhead, and it shone obliquely into this sea area. With the help of sunlight, Zheng Yang and Saiyulali first took a telescope to observe the situation on the island.

  The elevation of the small island is about 130 meters above sea level, and the size is at least one kilometer. On the side they were facing, the mountain was a bit steep.

   In addition to shrubs and ferns, there is also a strange black tree growing on the island. The tree is not high, but the crown is very wide.

   Saiyulali looked at the environment on the island and was a little disappointed, and said: "This kind of environment is unlikely to have Medusa snakes. Medusa snakes are most likely to be in that kind of rocky environment."

   "Let's go up and take a look later, I finally found this island, first walk along the seaside and observe the island, maybe there is a rocky environment on it too!"

   After eating breakfast, Zheng Yang took out an inflatable boat from the cargo hold, filled it with the attached small electric air pump, and threw it into the sea. Then he and Seyulali each took a paddle and jumped down.

   More than ten meters from the shore, and after a few strokes, the two of them landed on the shore. After dragging the rubber boat ashore, the two began to circle the island to check the environment.

   The small island is indeed not big, just an ellipse one kilometer up and down, and their docking position is on the long arc side. It only took half an hour to walk down all the way before returning to the original point.

   I did not find a rocky environment, and the beach did not look like a Medusa snake.

   At least Zheng Yang didn't take the cross in this circle, and did not lead out the Medusa snake.

   Zheng Yang still doesn't know if the Spirit Ship Curse will attract evil in the daytime. He plans to walk around alone at night. That way, even if the monsters that are difficult to deal with are brought out, he can teleport and escape.

   "What happened to the people who landed on this island? Why did they abandon the landing craft here?" Saiyulali said, looking at the wreckage of the landing craft.

   Zheng Yang thought for a while, and said, "Maybe their ship hit the rocks and sank, so they could only land on it, and then starve to death on the island!"

   Then the two climbed to the top of the mountain to watch from all sides.

   The plants on the entire island are generally dark brown, and indeed they don’t have the rocky landform that brought out the Medusa monster last time.

   Saiyulali kicked away a pile of grass irritably, and then stared at each other with Zheng Yang.

   They suddenly realized that the influence of that kind of magnetic field had appeared again.

   "Let's go back, my bloodline tells me that this environment is not suitable for Medusa."

   Saiyulali twisted her boneless waist and took the lead down the road.

Returning to the edge of the beach, Zheng Yang said: "Seyulali, have you found any animals on this island? I thought it was your breath that scared snakes and insects away from them, but why did you even avoid birds? No class?"

   Except for the sound of the sea breeze blowing animals and plants, Zheng Yang couldn't find any creature movement.

   Saiyulali looked back, her face was shocked, and she shook her head and said: "I didn't find it. There seems to be no trace of any animals except plants!"

   This is very abnormal.

   Zheng Yang once again carefully looked at the environment on the island.

   Even if there are no fish in the sea, there is that kind of scary colored light band, which can be explained. But why are there no animals on the island, or what kind of danger can wipe out the entire animal ecological chain here?

   Zheng Yang looked at the dark trees. On the whole island, this kind of tree is the most eye-catching.

   Black trees are generally three to five meters tall, but their canopies are large and their diameter can exceed the overall height. And they are very dark, from the trunk to the leaves, all in one color.

   Zheng Yang and Saiyulali have always deliberately avoided this black tree. At this time, Zheng Yang decided to see what was strange about it.

   The long sword was unsheathed, and was controlled by Zheng Yang with an invisible hand. It slashed like a flying sword towards a small black tree six meters away.

  "Touch~"

   The thick trunk of the bowl broke. Under the shocked gaze of Zheng Yang and Saiyulali, the cut black tree slowly disintegrated, and finally turned into black powder and was blown away by the sea breeze.

   This is really...

   Zheng Yang and Sai Yulali looked at each other.

   They imagined that the black tree was cut down and turned into a monster to attack, or to attract some evil hidden underground, and even cause the whole island to shake, but they never thought about this scene.

   directly turned into fly ash!

   Zheng Yang fell silent, retracted the long sword and shook another black tree with his invisible hand. The black tree shook, the leaves collided and made a rattling noise, no other abnormalities.

  Break off a broken branch~lightnovelpub.net~The branch slowly disintegrates...

Next to   , Cyjulali used a short sword to cut off other plants to test. As a result, in addition to the black trees, other plants on the island will not disappear like them.

   Zheng Yang was aroused by curiosity, and broke a black branch again, and sent it to the sea bottom of the ship before it collapsed.

   A miracle happened. As soon as the branches entered the water, they stopped disintegrating. But it is denser than water and sinks to the bottom of the sea very quickly.

   Come again!

   Zheng Yang directly cut off a black tree with a root as thick as a bowl mouth this time, and before it began to disintegrate, it was directly transmitted to the side of the anchor on the seabed.

   This black tree is completely preserved on the bottom of the sea. Zheng Yang observed with perception that, except for the darkness, it was really no different from an ordinary tree. At the fracture, the fiber structure and annual rings can also be seen.

   Then, some roots slowly grew from the fracture.

   "The tide is rising... Zheng Yang, I see!"

   Saiyulali suddenly brightened his eyes and said: "The influence of magnetic field is related to the law of ebb and flow. The effect of magnetic field is great at high tide, and the effect disappears after ebb. This is a cyclical effect!"

   "Awesome, this is all for you to discover!"

   Zheng Yang gave a thumbs up. I thought she had discovered the secret of the black tree, but it turned out to be the law of influence of the magnetic field.

   Saiyulali smiled triumphantly, and said: "The kind of black tree, it may be maintained by the roots continuously absorbing water, so it will quickly decay after losing the roots!"

   "I'll dig a tree by the root to see!"

   Zheng Yang found a small black tree half a meter high, slowly cleared the soil from the roots, and finally uprooted it. Until then, the black tree showed a strange scene.

   Its roots are like the tentacles of mollusks, swinging wildly in the air...
