Chapter 20 Section 19 King Supreme

The shape of this temple has the shape of an ancient Greek temple. The surface of the whole temple is paved with smooth lime, and it is in the shape of a square and a rectangular colonnade.The columns adopt the Doric column style, which is particularly solemn and solemn. It is incomprehensible how such a style of architecture can appear on an island belonging to China's territorial waters. I saw a lifelike snake head carved in gilded brass on the top of the temple. We looked at the temple, and there was no other way to express our feelings except looking at each other. Xibo said: "Mr. Meng, what do we do now? manage?"

Meng Yang said: "Go in and have a look. There is a coffin temple in front of Huangquan, and there is a temple here. I really don't know why these people use temples to express strange things." We leaned over cautiously right now. As soon as we got to the door, I couldn't help but sneezed. A bunch of birds flew out of it like a gust of wind, and flew out from our heads, faces, and bodies. , It seems that this place has become a paradise for animals on the island.Through the huge entrance, I can see the dark and gloomy inside, and I can vaguely see a human statue as high as the temple.

The temple in front of us is not too big, it looks like three or four meters, and the statue of a god about the height of the temple stands in it.Xibo turned on a flashlight, and walked in first, followed by us, only to see that the space inside is actually not big, and there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the ground, making it impossible for people to stand. The humanoid statue inside is a hand-held Although the face of the statue of the halberd is still unclear, it can be seen from the shape that it is Poseidon, the god of the sea.I thought of the plan of "Poseidon's Halberd" mentioned by Wang Chenfei, and my heart moved slightly, wondering if the buildings here were related to that plan.

Xibo took a photo of the statue from top to bottom, and found nothing abnormal except for the bird droppings and the parts eroded by the wind. Meng Yang said: "This is the god of the sea in Greek mythology. It stands to reason that building such a temple on the sea would not It’s strange, but the location is not right, it would be right if this style of architecture and this statue appeared in the Mediterranean or Aegean Sea, but this is China, and we have our own sea god.” I said, "Maybe it wasn't built by the Chinese?" Meng Yang said: "It doesn't make sense, because from the construction style of the house to the daily necessities inside are all authentic Chinese style, it doesn't make sense for these Chinese to build a Greek-style temple on the island? Of course it is not impossible, I I just don’t think they make sense.”

Suddenly Xibo said: "Look over there." Following the light source of his flashlight, we saw some inexplicable characters engraved on the wall directly in front of Poseidon's eyes. Meng Yang said: "These should be Arabic characters. I have been there, although I don't know them, but You can be sure, if anyone of you has a pen, draw it and ask someone to translate it when you return to the mainland.” Xibo took out a pen and paper and recorded it like a cat and a tiger.Apart from these, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the temple. We left the temple and continued to walk deep into the forest. After walking for a while, we only heard a muffled thunder-like sound. Meng Yang said: "It seems Ahead is the waterfall."

Not far away, the sun was shining brightly, and it was obviously a new place. We hurried over and when we got close, we suddenly saw a new world. The scenery here is also different. The broad-leaved forest is divided into two sections here, one section is where we are, and another section is opposite, and in the middle is a protruding rock and a natural pond.I saw a waterfall roaring down from the mountain fault. Although it can't be compared with the big waterfall, it is not easy to see this kind of scenery on the island.Without the trees, the sun shines in directly, and the water source becomes more and more transparent under the sunlight, making people feel thirsty. The waterfall Zhao Biancheng said is here.

I scooped up a handful of water and drank it, only to find it refreshing. It was more satisfying than drinking cold beer. Meng Yang said, "Don't rush to drink water, we have a mission to come here, let's finish the mission first." After all, we first waded across the river, and we followed. When we reached the other bank, the sun immediately dimmed. As soon as we landed, Xibai immediately made a stop gesture and pointed forward. The animal's skeleton smelled stinking, and looked strange in the dark woods. Xibo said, "It might be weird." Meng Yang took a closer look and said, "It seems that this island cannot be penetrated rashly. Let's go back and discuss it first."

After all, the few of us carefully withdrew from the pond.Back in the house, Wang Chenfei asked how we were doing. I explained it in detail. When Wang Chenfei heard the words in the temple, his expression changed: "Show me those words." Xibo handed the notebook to Wang Chenfei and said, "Does Teacher Wang still know Arabic?" Wang Chenfei put on his glasses and opened the book for a closer look. His face became more and more ugly, and my heart gradually became heavy with his changes.After a while, Wang Chenfei took off his glasses and sighed: "This is not Arabic, it is Hebrew, which means: the king is supreme."

Meng Yang said: "The king is supreme? What do you mean?" Wang Chenfei said: "I'm not very clear, but I have seen this kind of writing on some islands, and these islands have a common feature, that is, they have the same function as Huangquanyan." Meng Yang said: "I remember you said that Huang Quanyan used to be..." Wang Chenfei nodded and said, "That's right, this place should also be a breeding place for sea monsters." Meng Yang said, "I see, that's what 'The Supreme King' is talking about." Wang Chenfei said: "It's not impossible. During World War II, many countries raised different large marine organisms. It would be appropriate to call these creatures the kings of the ocean."

As soon as I said this, I only heard Jasmine screaming, as if we saw something terrifying, our hearts tightened, and even Zhao Biancheng, who had been dejected, picked up his gun vigilantly. Jasmine was cooking in the kitchen, we rushed over in a panic, only to see that she had already retreated, looking into the kitchen with a horrified expression, we walked over and looked in, and saw that the stove where the original stove was originally was turned into a fire. It collapsed, revealing a dark hole. Seeing us, she said a lot of babbling words that no one could understand, I went to the entrance of the cave to take a look, and found a white human skeleton underneath, Meng Yang said: "What did you see? "

I said, "It's just a dead man's skeleton." Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, Xibo said: "Women are just timid, there is nothing to be afraid of." After saying that, he inserted the gun into his waist and was about to go down. Wang Chenfei grabbed him and said, "Now the filth in the cave has not dissipated, let's talk about it later, don't get poisoned." Then he lit a handful of firewood and smoked for a while at the entrance of the cave to make sure that there were no living things inside, and said, "At least we can't go down until tomorrow, let's wait for another day." In the afternoon of the second day, we moved the skeletons out of the cave entrance, with Xibo leading the way, and several of us filed down the cave entrance.After going down, we were surprised again. It turned out to be a large airtight room. After entering, we took pictures with our flashlights.There were still three skeletons, and the things on the table were arranged in an orderly manner, because the airtightness of the room was very good, and there was not even ash. Seeing a flash of light, Xibo lit a kerosene lamp, and Meng Yang asked, "Is there any kerosene in there?" Xi Bai shook his head and said, "However, there is a bucket of kerosene under the table, which is very well sealed." Meng Yang nodded and didn't speak any more. Xibo turned the kerosene flame to the maximum, which could clearly illuminate this not-so-small space.I saw that this airtight dark room was about 100 square meters, and the floor was made of blue bricks. There were actually a lot of human feces that had lost moisture on it, which made me sick for a while. In addition, there are four camp beds, and a very large table in the middle, which is full of materials and some manuscripts.The only strange thing is that the three skeletons are holding an old-fashioned sniper rifle. It seems that they held this kind of gun until they died. I don't know why they behaved like this. Siber took down one of the rifles and looked at it: "This is a Mauser 98K rifle made in Germany, nicknamed the Nazi Butcher Knife. Could it be that these are Germans?" Wang Chenfei was flipping through the documents on the table. I noticed that he quietly threw a notebook on the ground, then kicked it into the bottom of the table, and then turned around as if nothing happened: "Probably not, because these people write Chinese characters, and the rifles are written in Chinese characters." The model number doesn't indicate anything, it's entirely possible that it's a trophy." Xi Bai skillfully loaded the bullet, and I said, "Be careful, don't let the fire go off." Siber smiled and said, "Don't worry, the quality of the German rifle series is absolutely excellent, no worse than that of the Soviets, and it will never go off." After finishing speaking, he skillfully retracted the magazine, and said, "You can load five bullets at a time. It's big enough to smash people's heads. With this thing, our life is much easier, and I'm still feeling sorry for those AKs." After finishing speaking, he kicked away a huge black wooden box in the corner with his foot, and saw eight rifles of this type neatly stacked inside. The bottom was full of bullets, estimated to be no less than two or three thousand rounds. I said: " Is this a battlefield, why are there so many weapons?" Meng Yang also came over from the desk and said: "Impossible, they are obviously doing secret research here, some of the drawings on the desk are genetic maps, and some are professional recording symbols of chemical changes, although I don't know Understand the content, but can understand the situation, Ma Weili is crazy, otherwise he can understand." I said, "Then what does this mean?" Meng Yang said: "I can be 100% sure that someone has done biological research on this island. Mr. Wang also said before that Huangquanyan is a sea monster farm, so it's not safe here, and it's not an unprecedented discovery. , but I am very surprised that they died in this way, what is the reason why several people died holding guns?" His words remind us that this is indeed a very strange phenomenon.There is a process from life to death. There are no obvious scars on these skeletons, and it is obvious that they will not die suddenly.If it wasn't for some special reason, no one would never leave their hands until the death gun. Meng Yang said, "Mr. Wang, do you have any opinion on this matter?" Wang Chenfei said: "It's hard to say, but I feel that these people are unwilling to put down the guns in their hands until they die. They would rather die here than go out. Obviously there is something on this island that scares them, and It will definitely not be an ordinary creature. If it is not something extremely terrifying, it will definitely not let the person with this weapon suffocate to death in the secret room, at least he should go out and fight it once?" After hearing this, our hearts suddenly became heavy. Wang Chenfei sighed and said, "It's better to clean the inside and store some spare water and food, just in case. Since we have seen these people, let's Let them rest in peace." This is definitely a matter of experience, we dare not be negligent, and immediately cleaned up. Wang Chenfei just organized things around the table, and he never had a chance to pick out the things at the bottom of the desk. After cleaning the secret room, Wang Chenfei said: "If possible, we'd better dig a vent and build a bathroom. Don't get to that point and be suffocated here." I said: "The construction of these things requires professional knowledge, and the problem cannot be solved by digging a hole." Wang Chenfei said: "It's better to have a hole than nothing. I think everyone should work harder. The details determine the time to survive." We didn't do anything else in the next few days. We dug a huge hole as a possible toilet, but the ventilation hole is not easy to get. In case there is really something on this island, we leave a hole to cause trouble for ourselves. So after much deliberation or forget it.However, in order to prevent possible dangers, we brought three rifles and 200 rounds of ammunition up there. This kind of gun is so powerful that it can shoot through a wild boar.However, the stronger the power, the more terrifying the mysterious creature that might exist, because it is this kind of creature that makes the person who owns this weapon give up resistance and choose to avoid and wait for death slowly. Potential dangers are actually the most terrifying. At the beginning, Shangdao's good impression of the beautiful natural scenery here disappeared without a trace, but it was exhausting after a busy day.Jasmine set up a stove to cook fish soup outside. Those wolves are like our guests. Whenever we cook and eat, they always appear by our side on time, whether we are at the seaside or in the In the house, so we have also developed a habit, no matter fishing or hunting, we have to prepare an extra copy, just to give them.And they are not polite, we eat as much as we give, we will never waste it, and they will never harass us. After eating, they roar at the sky a few times, and then go deep into the forest. I went to bed after dinner, but I still dared not fall asleep. I held on until late at night before I touched a flashlight. Since we were three people in one room, from the snores of Wang Chenfei and Xibai, I could tell that they were indeed asleep. Dare to act. When I went down to the secret room, I turned on the flashlight and saw that the notebook was still lying under the desk. I took it out and put it on the desk. As soon as I opened a page, I heard Wang Chenfei say: "I didn't expect to be seen by you." I didn't have the slightest mental preparation, so I was taken aback. When I turned around, I saw Wang Chenfei standing behind me at some point. I was a little flustered and embarrassed, and said with a blushing face, "Mr. Wang, I'm just curious... ..." Wang Chenfei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, do you know why I keep this matter a secret?" I said, "I don't know." Wang Chenfei said: "Because I don't trust Meng Yang, I am very worried that he will steal the scientific research materials here." I said, "But those materials are all on the table." Wang Chenfei said: "That's okay, because he doesn't understand what is recorded on it, but the notebook is probably a record of the truth." I looked at the notebook and said, "I don't know what will be written on it, I think it's probably the cause of their death." Wang Chenfei said: "That's right, it should be a document that records the truth." We looked at the diary at the same time, and our hearts seemed to jump out of our chests with nervousness.After trying to calm down for a while, I said, "Then you see, I'm going back." Wang Chenfei put on his reading glasses and said, "It's not necessary, but you must not disclose the things in this book." I nodded and said, "I promise, I don't want to cause trouble for myself." Only then did Wang Chenfei hum with satisfaction, and we opened the diary with complicated emotions.Under the light of the flashlight, the first sentence that came into view was: "My little baby is two years old, and today is her first birthday. We held a simple birthday party for her. I believe that everyone is happy for her." Proud and happy to be able to grow up smoothly, Mr. Pete even shed tears of joy, this is the first time I saw him cry. In the past two years of getting along, I think they must have established a deep love friendship that transcends international boundaries and races." On the second page are some daily records, what kind of immoral things did so-and-so do, what kind of delicious dish did so-and-so cook, and so-and-so won the championship in swimming, it seems that the owner of the diary has The habit of keeping a diary, he wrote down all the trivial things that happened every day. I was bored watching it, and said: "Otherwise, let's just turn to the end and read it. It's a waste of time." Wang Chenfei didn't speak, but still turned every page carefully and read it in detail.I gradually became absent-minded, and after a while Wang Chenfei said, "Did you see that?" I was almost falling asleep, and I lifted my heavy eyelids to glance at what he said, and I lost all sleepiness after just one glance, and it wrote: "My little baby's appetite has increased too fast, and it already takes 70 yuan for a meal." Otherwise, she will become particularly aggressive, but there are not many pigs left for feeding. Lao Qi suggested that we should feed them with sea fish, but my baby doesn’t seem to be interested in fish, so I have no choice but to be tough The scalp continues, and I don’t know when the next batch of pigs will be shipped.” Then came many pages of nonsense, of no value, and gradually there were fewer and fewer pages left, and from his various records it seemed that life was very smooth.But when we turned to a new page, the original very fair italics suddenly became very scribbled, and there was only a hurried sentence: "Except for Pete, they are all afraid of my baby. It's ridiculous. I won't back down." , I will definitely be with my little baby, I don't believe she will do anything to hurt me." It is all blank, and there is no record anymore.We looked at each other, and after a while, Wang Chenfei said: "He must have other diaries, we must find out what he wrote about eating dozens of catties of pork for a meal." I looked at my watch and said, "It's almost morning, let's go back, don't be discovered by them." Wang Chenfei searched for a while, but found nothing, so he had to go back first.I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed, and I didn't wake up until noon the next day. Meng Yang said, "Okay, brother, even if I exercised a bit yesterday, I wouldn't sleep for so long, right?" I pretended to be confused and dealt with it. During the meal, Meng Yang said: "Now everyone has a few more guns in their hands. I suggest that we should investigate in depth, maybe we can find the 'Supreme King'?" I said, "Mr. Meng, those people would rather die than come out. Do you think it's because they don't know how to use this kind of gun?" Meng Yang said: "After all, such a long time has passed, even if there were any mysterious creatures on this island, they should be dead by now. I mean search to see if you can find any animal bones, and escape is not the way , I would rather die in battle than wait to die in that kind of place." Xibo said: "I also agree with this point. Rather than being buried alive, it's better to shoot yourself in the head. I also want to see what the thing that scares people like this is." I said: "Are you guys crazy, why don't you take the initiative to find trouble?" Meng Yangdao: "As a business, it is our nature to take risks. Although this island is full of dangers, I believe that with my ability, I will be able to survive. Fear of the unknown is the most stupid move." Zhao Biancheng also said: "I also think we should investigate the details." Meng Yang said: "You decide for yourself. I hope everyone can be brave. I don't believe that there is nothing in this world that can win against human beings. Many times it is just that we are afraid and dare not resist. The truth may not be as imagined. horrible." Everyone agreed with Meng Yang's point of view, so I had no choice but to join in. Let's go, we loaded our weapons with bullets, and the three rifles became our greatest protection.However, this kind of gun also requires certain skills to use. People like me can't use it, and it might hurt yourself.After entering the forest, we walked for 30 to 40 minutes and came to the forest where we stopped going that day. This time we came here, so after we got to this island, everyone raised their vigilance and searched carefully.Sure enough, he quickly found something wrong. Meng Yang picked up a long piece of snake skin with a machete and said in front of us, "It seems that we found that thing. Have you ever heard of a snake of this size?" From the analysis of the snake skin, this snake is probably nearly ten meters long, and it looks scary from head to tail. Meng Yang said: "It is not an exaggeration for a snake of this size to be called the 'Supreme King'." gone." I said: "It is true that such a huge python is rare. Could it be that what we have to face now is such a thing, that is too scary." To be honest, although I am a man, I have a natural fear of cold-blooded animals since I was a child, such as four-legged snakes, lizards, including some snakes. I get goosebumps when I see it. The cauliflower snake is still like this, let alone such a huge one. It is a boa constrictor, but the snake skin can only see the length, not the width, because it is elastic. Meng Yang said: "This snake hasn't shed its skin for a long time. It seems that this area should be its territory. Pythons have a strong sense of territory. Everyone must be careful." We only heard a howl during the conversation, and we followed the sound and saw two wild boars running out from the depths of the forest.During this time we killed a few wild boars, I don't know if they have a grudge.After staring at us for a while, he rushed towards us humming, Meng Yang said: "It seems that our guns are useful again." After finishing speaking, he calmly took down the gun, and just as he was aiming, suddenly a dead wood-like object popped up from the mud, it bit the neck of one of the pigs as fast as lightning, and then rolled up, immediately Plate that pig up.Only then did we see that it turned out to be an unbelievably thick boa constrictor, not to mention the length, but the width was almost the same as an adult's thigh. The pig let out a scream, and we clearly heard the sound of the bones being crushed. click sound. One of Zhao Biancheng's men took two steps back in fright, jumped into the pond behind him with a bang, and ran to the opposite bank.And the giant python that was originally hidden in the wet soil seemed to have noticed us, put down the wild boar whose spine was completely shattered, although it was still alive but could not move at all, and swam towards us.Meng Yang said, "Run quickly." After finishing speaking, he took the lead and ran back, without any of the rhetoric he had when he came.None of us dared to delay, so we ran with Meng Yang. We could only hear the loud hissing sound behind us. From the sound, we could feel how big this thing was. When we landed on the shore, we only felt the sound of water splashing behind us. The python has entered the water.Our livers and gallbladders are broken, and we don't know who is the unlucky one today.But after running for a while, I found that there was no movement behind me. I looked back boldly. The giant python didn't even come up to the bank of the pond. It seemed to be in the water, and a large part of its body was in its own territory. The black and red body is particularly conspicuous. I stopped them and said, "That thing hasn't come over, everyone calm down." No one listened to me, they all ran forward desperately, but I stopped, turned around and walked backwards, monitoring every move of the giant python.If it continued to catch up, I would definitely run, but after a while, its huge body slowly retreated, and it took a long time before it retreated into the woods.When I thought about it, I often went to that pond to fetch water, wash things, and even take a bath without any precautions, and now I shudder when I think about it. When I got back to the house, they almost thought I was sleeping in the snake's belly by now.Seeing me walking back slowly, Xibo's eyes were as big as goose eggs, and he said loudly, "Little Zou, you didn't raise that snake, right? Why are you so calm?" I said: "It never crossed that pond at all, why am I running around like that?" Xi Bo said: "It's so fucking weird. Every island has a baby. I don't know which plague god I offended. I wanted to do scientific research, but now I almost died, what else? None." Meng Yang panted heavily with a sullen face and did not speak. Wang Chenfei didn't go with us this time because he was getting old. After hearing us finish the whole situation, he said: "Everyone, don't be impatient. Things are already like this, and it's useless to complain. But according to your description, there are such people around us. A giant python exists, isn't it a little too dangerous?" I said: "Absolutely, the strangling power it produces in an instant does not suffocate the animal to death, but directly smashes the bones in the animal's body. How powerful is this? This is not a giant python, this is a monster."
