Chapter 173 The Terrifying Situation on the Island
The wait of several hours was undoubtedly an ordeal for Mo Ming.
He and his pets lay in ambush on the outskirts of the forest, careful not to be discovered by potential "enemies" while remaining vigilant for any sounds around them, fearing they might encounter some wild beasts that were difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, he was constantly replaying various possible scenarios in his mind, but everything could only be confirmed and analyzed once Xiao Jin returned.
Finally, Xiao Jin's dazzling golden figure appeared in the clouds. Xiao Jin circled down from above, its wings gleaming with a faint metallic sheen. It seemed a little tired, but still insisted on flying back to Mo Ming's side.
Mo Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing it, while Meng Ling and the other pets, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, were also very excited and quickly surrounded it.
Xiao Jin stumbled and landed beside Mo Ming. Mo Ming saw the charred edges of Xiao Jin's wings and was immediately filled with heartache. He quickly gave Xiao Jin the healing medicine that Duo Duo had made and applied the herbal medicine that Duo Duo had given him to treat external injuries.
Seeing that Xiao Jin's pained expression had eased slightly, Mo Ming was also somewhat relieved.
Then, Xiao Jin transmitted the information he had discovered to Mo Ming through a special mental connection. It was a series of clear scene fragments. With Xiao Jin's detailed "narration", the outline of the island in Mo Ming's mind gradually took shape.
The first part is about the overall layout of the island. From the air, the island has an irregular shape that is almost elliptical, covered by dense primeval forests. The outer edge of the forest is directly connected to the ocean, and the edge is a narrow area where sandy beaches and rocks meet.
Based on Xiao Jin's description, Mo Ming deduced that the entire island covers an area of approximately 20 square kilometers, which is not particularly large, but enough to be a thriving place for various creatures to inhabit and forage.
The forest presents different layers. The dense trees on the outer perimeter are generally tall, with thick canopies that make people feel oppressed, and sunlight can hardly penetrate the ground.
As you move further inward toward the island's core, the density of trees decreases, replaced by low shrubs and scattered, massive rocks. This change in topography creates a slightly brighter central area, contrasting sharply with the darkness of the surrounding perimeter.
In the very center of the island, Xiao Jin also discovered a very special landmark – a lake that is several hundred meters long and wide.
The lake water is clear and bright, reflecting the lush green scenery around it. In the very center of the lake, there is an isolated island. It is not large and its appearance is somewhat desolate and dilapidated, with no obvious architectural remains.
But Xiao Jin vaguely sensed that an extremely peculiar power seemed to permeate the island. The small island in the center of the lake was separated by the smooth water surface, appearing isolated in terms of both terrain and geographical location, like the most mysterious and unique existence on the entire island.
Xiao Jin's investigation revealed that not the entire island was harmonious and peaceful.
During its flight, relying on its extremely keen senses, it locked onto the locations emanating a strong aura of danger, areas that Mo Ming clearly needed to pay extra attention to next.
The first area, viewed from above, lies deep within the forest to the northeast of the island, and Xiao Jin senses a cold and oppressive atmosphere.
There, the trees were noticeably darker than their surroundings, and even from above, one could sense that the dense forest had been corrupted by some strange force, becoming lifeless.
Little Gold didn't try to go deeper, but it could clearly sense that a highly threatening creature was lurking in that area, and its strength might be above that of a Radiant Orange-level beast.
The second area is located in the northwest of the island.
To the northwest lies a rugged, rocky area close to the ocean. Xiao Jin easily sensed traces of some large creature lingering among the rock walls.
Through careful observation, it noticed countless tiny claw marks on the cliff face. These claw marks were extremely firm and deep, and it seemed that they could not have been left by ordinary wild animals.
In addition, as Xiao Jin hovered in the air, it vaguely sensed the vibration of the dust on the ground, and it concluded that it was a large wild beast that mainly hunted, and it was very likely to attack its prey by ambush.
The third region is characterized by unique fluctuations near the central lake.
When Xiao Jin emphasized the central lake, he specifically described the unusual sensations near the small island in the center of the lake.
From an environmental perspective, this area is not particularly special. The small island in the middle of the lake appears quiet and peaceful. However, as it approaches, Xiao Jin suddenly senses a subtle disturbance on its mental level, as if an invisible mist is shrouding the island, preventing it from fully and meticulously exploring the entire area.
Even a slight dizziness made Xiao Jin immediately retreat, avoiding getting any closer. This indicates that the island in the center of the lake possesses some kind of special power, clearly different from the rest of the island.
The last dangerous area is on the east side of the island.
After traversing the area where dense forests and rocks intertwined, Xiao Jin arrived at a relatively open flat area. This area was surrounded by trees, and the sunlight shone directly down, making the atmosphere here seem peaceful.
However, just as Little Gold flew into the air above this area, a cold and oppressive aura instantly enveloped it. It was the kind of intimidation that only a powerful beast of the Radiant Orange level could exude, making the surrounding air seem to freeze instantly.
The true form of this giant beast was hidden in the shadows of trees and rocks, and it was not easy to spot at first glance. But as the heavy rustling sound gradually approached, it finally revealed its terrifying form.
This is an extremely large beast, larger than an ordinary adult rhinoceros, nearly five or six meters tall. When curled up, it is as heavy as a small mountain, but its movements are agile and swift.
Its limbs are thick and strong, covered with dark red scales. Those scales seem to radiate faint heat like burnt rocks, and even a faint orange-red light seeps out from the cracks.
Several sharp bone spikes stood tall on the back of the behemoth, each covered with a thin film of black, poisonous mist, while its huge and powerful tail was like a long rock hammer, leaving a deep mark as it swept across the grass.
The most chilling thing about this behemoth was its head. Its head was broad, its mouth long and sharp, and when it opened, its metallic teeth lay starkly in its abyss-like throat.
Its eyes burned like lava, and could even spew out an unbearable crimson light at any moment. When its gaze fixed on Xiao Jin, it was as if a thousand pounds of rage were pressing down on it.
Xiao Jin could sense the immense power of the giant beast and quickly rose to try and create distance.
But just as it was about to bypass the area, the giant beast suddenly roared, the sound like thunder shattering the surrounding branches and leaves. Then it opened its mouth, and a dazzling orange-red beam of light condensed from its throat.
The target... is none other than Kim Jong-un!
