Zhang Heng wasn't too surprised, mainly because he knew it was just a game, so theoretically he wouldn't be too surprised to find Winnie the Pooh in the depths of the forest.
But for now, Zhang Heng has to admit that everything around him is extremely real. If it wasn't for the extra 24 hours on his body that caused a major problem with the game duration, he probably wouldn't be able to find any bugs.
In addition to the houses and stone tools, the two also found a small lake next to it, about one hectare. Bell picked up the water from it and tasted it, and then said, "You can drink it. This is a freshwater lake. No wonder they will drink it. Villages were built nearby."
However, Zhang Heng was attracted by the half of something protruding from the mud by the lake.
"This tribe... do they already have the art to smelt metal?"
Zhang Heng pulled out the piece and found that it was a very rusted piece of iron. It seemed to be installed on a piece of wood, but the piece of wood was already bad.
Zhang Heng studied it and found that he couldn't see what this thing was for.
Bell is not omnipotent, and he also doesn't know the purpose of this thing. He just analyzed, "From the perspective of their skill level, they should still be in the Stone Age, so this piece of iron probably doesn't belong to them."
It was already very late, and the two of them did not move forward, so they simply found a place nearby to light a fire and cook.
As the end of the journey was getting closer, Zhang Heng felt a little complicated.
For more than a year, he relied on the idea of going to the center of the island to support himself to practice arrows every day and keep exercising. Not really.
From this point of view, sometimes Zhang Heng is very envious of Ed, Bell and others. They can comfort themselves and say that maybe there will be a ship docking tomorrow or there is something in the center of the island that can help me go home. Clearly, I can't go anywhere if I can't run out of time.
Thinking of the mystery that will be revealed tomorrow, he felt a little excited, a little excited, after all, he had been thinking about something for a year, but he was more at a loss.
What was he going to live on after this was over
But fortunately, four-fifths of the time has passed, and the remaining more than a hundred days, even if you can't find a new target, you should be able to survive.
On the third morning, Zhang Heng woke up very early, but when he opened his eyes, he found that Bell had woken up earlier.
"Morning, Zhang." The explorer greeted him enthusiastically, "I just walked around the lake again, guess what I found?"
"Uh... new breakfast?"
"It's true. I did catch a catfish for a change, but besides that, I found something else." Bell put two small rusty balls into Zhang Heng's palm.
"What's this? Marbles?"
"This is a bullet." Bell said.
"How to fire a solid bullet?" Zhang Heng was stunned. He is not a fan of weapons, but he still knows the basic knowledge. Modern weapons rely on the gunpowder in the bullet to ignite to propel the launch. Without gunpowder, nothing can be fired. .
"Do you still remember what you found by the lake? I know what it is." The explorer excitedly said, "Arquebus, this weapon was widely used in Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This weapon has gunpowder and bullets. It was filled separately and ignited with a match... At that time, the black slave trade was booming, and the aborigines who lived here were probably attacked by slave catchers, and all of them were captured and sold to those farmers .”
This speculation is reasonable and in line with what they are seeing now. Zhang Heng has already planned to accept this statement. However, half a day later when the two came to the center of the island and saw the building suspected to be an altar and the pile of bones on it, Zhang Heng asked The explorer on the side asked, "Are all your slave catchers in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries so brutal?"
"... This was not done by the slave capture team. It was a bloody and dark era. As far as I know, slave traders would indeed kill those who dared to resist when capturing black slaves to deter others. It will kill all those who are too old or too young to be transported."
Bell walked to the altar and picked up a skull, "But... it's not like their style."
"If it wasn't the slave catchers who killed the natives on the island, then who killed them? Could it be themselves?" Zhang Heng said casually, but both of them were stunned.
The architectural style of this altar is very similar to the ruins they encountered by the lake before.
"Well, the slave catchers killed the island. Seeing that they were invincible, these natives ran to this altar and ended their own lives... This is a bit unreasonable."
Bell walked to the pile of white bones in the center of the altar, knelt down and wiped the dust off the slate with his hands, "There is something else here, it's a totem, it's a creature whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a snake, it looks like The gods worshiped by the natives."
Zhang Heng was a little disappointed. Although he didn't care much about what was in the center of the island, he was still frustrated when he found out that it was an aboriginal relic that was of no use to him.
After all, this was something he had been preparing for for a whole year, and it was a thrilling journey all the way. He was almost swallowed by the boa constrictor, but he only found a pile of bones and an altar.
However, seeing that Bell seemed to be very interested in the pile of things, he didn't urge him.
Both of them had plenty of food and water, and they had eaten less than half of what they brought with them. Bell hunted and killed a lot of "game" along the way, although most of them seemed a bit confusing. But the taste is surprisingly good.
Zhang Heng is considering whether to walk directly through the forest to the other side of the island and then walk along the coastline to where he lives.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly sprang out from behind the altar and rushed towards the explorer above.
Zhang Heng was taken aback. This time, he had already recognized what it was without Bell's further research.
—The jaguar, the king of the tropical rainforest, is very tiger-like in size and appearance. It has sharp teeth and sharp claws, and can easily kill caimans. It is a large predator at the top of the food chain.
However, Bell's reaction was also very quick. The explorer rolled on the spot, avoiding the thunderous blow of the beast, and then pulled out the knife from his waist.
Zhang Heng also quickly took off the bow and arrow behind him, but then another jaguar rushed out.
This time Bell's expression also changed.
no? ! Zhang Heng was shocked. It stands to reason that there are still four days before the plot of the explorer. These jaguars appeared so early, did they take the wrong script
But now there is no time for him to think about it. Bell's current situation is very dangerous. No matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with two jaguars alone. Zhang Heng bent his bow and put an arrow at the second jaguar.
The latter quickly dodges with a vertical jump, and Zhang Heng is not too surprised. The distance between the two sides is about 278 meters. Usually, he shoots Mickey Mouse at this distance, and his hit rate is 50-60%. His skill is higher than that of the dodo. I don't know where he went.
