The Cursed Ship

Zheng Yang still didn't go into the sea in the end.

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

This is his nautical chart in the Ross Sea this time.

After drawing this nautical picture, Zheng Yang miraculously regained his composure. It was close to three o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yang went back to the bedroom to sleep, and soon fell asleep smoothly.

It was after seven o'clock that Zheng Yang and Sai Yulali woke up.

Neither of them could feel the discomfort from last night. They thought it was the adaptability of the extraordinary physique that helped them adapt to the magnetic field here, so they didn't take it to heart.

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

The sun had just risen, and before it was blocked by the clouds overhead, it shone obliquely on the sea. With the help of sunlight, Zheng Yang and Seyulali first observed the situation on the island with a telescope.

Visually, the altitude of the island is about 130 meters, and the size is at least one kilometer. On the side they faced, the hill was a little steeper.

In addition to shrubs and ferns, there grew on the island a strange black tree, not tall, but with a large crown.

Seeing the environment on the island, Seyulali was a little disappointed, and said, "This environment is unlikely to have a Medusa demon snake. The Medusa demon snake is most likely in that kind of rocky environment."

"Let's go up and have a look later. We finally found this island. Let's take a look around the island along the seaside. Maybe there are rocks on it!"

After breakfast, Zheng Yang took out a rubber boat from the cargo hold, inflated it with the attached small electric air pump, and threw it into the sea. Then he and Seyulari each took an oar and jumped down one after another.

More than ten meters away from the shore, with a few random strokes, the two landed on the shore. After dragging the rubber boat ashore, the two began to check the environment around the island.

The island is really not big, just an oval shape of about one kilometer, and the location where they dock is on the side of the long arc. It took only half an hour to walk all the way down and return to the original point.

I really didn't find a rocky environment, and the beach didn't look like a suitable Medusa snake.

At least Zheng Yang didn't take the cross with him this time around, and didn't lead out the Medusa demon snake.

Zheng Yang still doesn't know whether the curse of the spirit boat will attract evil spirits during the day, and he plans to try walking around alone at night. That way he can teleport away even if he pulls out a tough boss.

"What happened to the people who landed on this small island, and why did they abandon their landing craft here?" Seyulali said, looking at the wreckage of the landing craft.

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

Then the two climbed to the top of the mountain to look around.

The plants on the entire island are generally dark brown, and there is indeed no rocky landform that attracted the Medusa demon snake last time.

Sai Yulali kicked away a pile of grass irritably, then stared blankly, and looked at Zheng Yang in blank dismay.

They suddenly realized that the effect of that magnetic field appeared again.

"Let's go back. My blood sense tells me that this environment is not suitable for the Medusa demon snake."

Seyulari twisted her limp waist and went down the mountain first.

Back at the edge of the beach, Zheng Yang said: "Saiulali, have you found any animals on this island? I thought it was your breath that scared the snakes and insects away, but why do you even see the birds? No class either?"

Except for the sound of sea breeze blowing animals and plants, Zheng Yang could not find any movement of living things.

Thinking back, Seulali looked shocked, and shook her head and said, "I didn't find it. It seems that there are no traces of animals except plants!"

This is very abnormal.

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

It's fine if there's 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 exterminate the entire ecological chain of animals here?

Zheng Yang looked at those pitch-black trees. On the entire island, this kind of tree was the most eye-catching.

Black trees are generally three to five meters tall, but their crowns are so large that their diameter can exceed their overall height. And they are very deep black, from the trunk to the leaves, the whole body is the same color.

Zheng Yang and Sai Yulali have been deliberately avoiding this kind of black tree. At this time, Zheng Yang decided to see what was weird about it.

The long sword was out of its sheath, and was controlled by Zheng Yang with invisible hands, like a flying sword, it slashed towards a small black tree six meters away.

"Touch~"

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

It's really...

Zheng Yang and Sai Yulali looked at each other in blank dismay.

They imagined that the black tree would turn into a monster to attack after being chopped down, or attract some evil hidden underground, or even cause the whole island to vibrate, but they never thought about the scene in front of them.

Directly turned into fly ash!

Zheng Yang was silent for a while, retracted his long sword and directly shook another black tree with his invisible hand. The black tree shook, and the leaves made a clattering sound when they collided, but there was no other abnormality.

Break off a broken branch, the branch slowly disintegrates...

Next to it, Seyulari used a short sword to cut off other plants for experimentation. As a result, except for the black trees, other plants on the island will not be wiped out like them.

Zheng Yang's curiosity was aroused, and he broke another black branch, and teleported into the seawater at the bottom of the boat before it disintegrated.

Miraculously, the branch stopped disintegrating as soon as it entered the water. But it is denser than water and sinks to the bottom of the ocean very quickly.

Come again!

This time, Zheng Yang directly cut off a black tree with a root as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and before it started to disintegrate, the whole tree was directly teleported to the side of the anchor on the bottom of the sea.

This black tree is preserved intact on the ocean floor. Zheng Yang observed it with his senses, and it was really no different from an ordinary tree except that it was black. At the fracture, the fibrous structure and annual rings can also be seen.

Afterwards, some roots slowly grew from the fracture.

"The tide is rising... Zheng Yang, I get it!"

Seyulali's eyes lit up suddenly, and said: "The influence of the magnetic field is related to the law of high tide and low tide. When the tide is high, the magnetic field has a greater influence, and after the tide ebbs, the influence disappears. This is a periodic influence!"

"Amazing, you discovered all of this!"

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

Seyulali smiled triumphantly, and said: "That kind of black tree may have to absorb water through its roots to maintain it, so it will decay quickly after losing its roots!"

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

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

Its roots are like tentacles of molluscs, swaying in the air...
