Chapter 178 The Center of the Island

After a whole night of nonsense, the sun still rose the next day, but it was a little different from usual. Today's weather is not very good. In the same way, the sea breeze that became stronger also brought a little coolness.

"Bring thick clothes just in case."

Not knowing if the temperature would suddenly drop below zero, both Logan and Ethan added a thick coat to their backpacks, and also chose long sleeves for their tops, and then only the two of them got off the Dawn Goddess.

After disembarking, Ethan tapped the side of his glasses and heard Diana's reply immediately.

"Everything is normal. If you lose communication for more than ten minutes, I will go and save you all."

Diana stayed on the boat as the last trump card. With her strength and flying ability, she was even more convenient than Ethan in saving people.

"Remember, you can remotely activate a mental stimulation device on my pair of glasses. If you don't respond to your contact for more than ten minutes, use this device first. If it still doesn't work, you can come out."

It seemed like a simple little adjustment, and the effect was roughly equivalent to someone stabbing him with a needle to wake him up from his hallucinations.

With this and the amulet he made, he would have enough confidence to set foot on this island again.

"That Cleo also went ashore."

Logan and Ethan walked slowly towards the interior of the island. This time Logan also wore a pair of glasses, which had the same effect as Ethan's glasses, and also carried many amulets on his body.

This time, he was very careful. Although he clearly knew that the other party was an invisible existence, he was still habitually observing around, so he noticed that Cleo had left the Eternal and boarded the island earlier.

"He didn't bring anyone else with him."

"It was a wise choice."

He has already seen that the equipment on Cleo's body can resist mental interference and energy attacks to a certain extent, but his crew does not have such equipment, and following along will only become a burden.

Before finding out where the mysterious power on this island came from and how to solve it, the number of people does not make much sense. Ethan just wants to solve these troubles, and then cooperate with Eternal to evacuate the island. Materials, at that time their numerical advantage can be brought into play.

Deliberately slowing down, waiting for Cleo to catch up, after a brief greeting, Ethan handed over a few amulets.

"Take it with you to avoid that mental disturbance."

Cleo didn't doubt Ethan's words, he just looked curiously at these inconspicuous things in his hand. If Ethan hadn't specifically explained the function of this thing, he would have regarded it as something that Ethan picked up in the grass. It's really inconspicuous. Maybe a few stones that I deliberately found look better than this thing.

"thanks."

"We're exploring this island together now, and I don't want to be without a helper somehow."

Several people set off towards the depths of the island again, and Ethan would receive inquiries from Diana every once in a while, and he would use the action of holding his eyes to give feedback.

Although it is not sure if everything is really normal, it seems that they have gone farther than the previous few times.

Looking at the green grass that had covered his waist, Ethan gradually felt a particularly strong fluctuation.

"This place has a very strong life."

Ethan stopped and looked left and right. He didn't see the seaside like last time. Standing here, he could clearly see the edge of the island. Although the area of ​​the island was completely a grassland, it was not small. The wide field of view allows them all to see the edge of the island in either direction.

"We're starting to get closer to the center."

"The grass in front seems to be higher."

Logan roughly observed that he was the tallest among them, but he found that as long as he continued to move forward, he might also be submerged in grass.

"It's like a sea of ​​grass."

Ethan didn't take Cleo's words, but squatted down and reached out his hand to gently stroke the soil. He found that the life energy in the soil was already overflowing, which was bigger than the hole dug up before. Clear water is even stronger.

"I feel like we're getting close to the real heart of the island."

I don't know if this overflowing life energy can be used by him. In theory, this completely unowned life force can be used directly, but when he tried to extract a part of life energy, he found that this energy was fundamentally Unable to be controlled by myself, I still stay firmly in the soil'.

"Do you want to move on?"

"We've already come here, of course we have to continue."

Logan nodded, and took out two machetes from his backpack. In this case, the safest way is to cut down the grass in front of him, so that a clear mark can be left while opening a road. , so that they can easily find their way back.

As Logan kept cutting down the weeds in front of him, the three continued to approach the center of the island, but when they were less than ten meters away, Ethan, who looked back, grabbed Logan and motioned him to stop. own actions.

"how?"

Ethan pointed behind him, and Logan looked back and immediately understood why Ethan stopped him.

The weeds that had already been cut down by him were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The grasses that were cut down by Logan at the farthest had grown back to their original heights and merged with the surrounding grasses again. Less than a little abnormal, as if Logan and the others came directly like this.

After such a delay, even the grass behind them that had just been cut down soon grew back. Next, the grass under their feet was also growing wildly. Several people were instantly drowned by weeds. When they met, they couldn't even be sure where their companions were.

"The life energy here is extremely strong. I feel that after you cut down these grasses, the life energy that has been staying in the ground has fluctuated violently, supplementing the 'life force' that these grasses need, and restoring these grasses to The way it was."

"Sounds a little familiar."

Ethan and Logan were relatively close, and extended a finger to a spot on Logan's belt. Logan immediately understood that this was not the same as the 'big blood bottle' made by Ethan using his own genes to combine the recovery potion. 'It is the same?

The movements of the two were relatively concealed, and with the interference of weeds, Cleo didn't see it. He was amazed at the growth speed of the grass and the information revealed in Ethan's words.

"Life energy?"

Cleo lowered his head and looked at the soil under his feet. Although he couldn't accurately judge what energy was like Ethan, he could feel that there was a huge amount of energy under his feet.

Ethan glanced at the amulet he was carrying, and found that the energy contained in the amulet was rapidly decreasing.

"We moved faster, and the amulet was less effective than I expected."

Now they are also a little clueless. As they finally came to the center of the island, almost two people's tall grass has already drowned everyone. Several people must keep talking to determine the location to ensure that they will not suddenly get separated.

At the same time, in such an environment, it is also a troublesome thing to determine the direction. Fortunately, there are many auxiliary means on the glasses worn by Ethan and Logan, which barely guarantees that they do not deviate too much from the direction-or can get the most out of the direction after deviating from the direction. Get back on the right track fast.

When they finally stood at the center of the island, Ethan was a little lost.

"what is this?"

The center of the island is also a large piece of green grass, but there is a small spring in the center. The spring water is extremely clear, but it is impossible to see what the bottom of the spring water is.

"About one meter in diameter, the spring water is clear, but I can't see the bottom. I don't know how deep this spring is."

Ethan took out the analysis device again. He originally thought that he would get the same conclusion as last time, but it turned out that what was in front of him this time was pure water, which was completely different from what he dug up before.

"Shimizu? Are you sure?"

Because of the thing dug up before, Logan felt weird drinking water during this time. He always had a feeling that he was eating. I didn't expect Ethan to come to such a conclusion.

Although Cleo was curious about all kinds of strange things that Ethan took out, he didn't speak at this time, just quietly observed everything, and at the same time wanted to know what Ethan was going to do.

Ethan looked at the fountain in front of him, he knew that he couldn't waste too much time here, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"wait a moment."

He took out a small thing again, it was a spindle-shaped metal object about the size of a fist, neither Logan nor Cleo knew what it was. Before he could ask, he saw that Ethan threw something directly into the spring water, and then tapped the frame of his glasses with his finger.

Small underwater probe.

This thing has a high technical content. It needs to concentrate a lot of things on such a small thing, and it can also transmit data back normally. Even with Tony Stark's ability, it can be created when there is not enough time. With such a thing, Ethan just habitually took all the things Tony gave him with him, but he didn't expect to actually use it today.

Through his glasses, he could receive the picture from the probe, and he found that the spring was deeper than he thought. The underwater probe sailed straight down for half an hour before suddenly seeing a bright light. Then he fell into an open cave.

He didn't care why the detector, which was descending all the way, fell into a cave without water. Ethan's attention was all attracted by the strange object in the picture.

"Looks like a plant?"
