    After getting ready, Alvin and Sika got off the boat and stepped onto the beach.  On the beach, some crew members set up many soup pots, chopped the prepared ingredients and poured them in, then poured half a pot of water and a little seasoning.  When sailing on the sea, it was rare to eat steamed food because of the precious drinking water. Now that they found a water source on the island, their first reaction was naturally to cook a pot of food and eat it happily.  Unlike these foodies, Gross, as the captain, is a little more responsible. He is leading people to cut wood. Large pieces of wood are chopped and planed into planks, which are intended to be used to repair some damaged hulls. Small pieces of wood are directly cut into pieces.  Throwing it away to make firewood, he remembered Alvin's instructions and only led people around the edge of the forest, without going too deep.  "Lord, you are also disembarking." Gross waved the ax in his hand with both hands and chopped a small tree with force. He stopped and took a breath. He looked back inadvertently and saw Alvin taking Sika with him.  Walking towards him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and walked up quickly.  "Yes, I want to explore the island. You are familiar with the people on the boat. Find two good people for me." Ivan ordered.  "But Lord, didn't you say that there is danger on the island?" Gross was stunned when he heard this.  "It is precisely because of the danger that I have to go in and explore. If there is no danger, I am not interested anymore. What's wrong, do you think the dangers on the island can still threaten us?" Ivan pointed at himself with a half-smile.  , pointed at Sika again, and then said: "We are mages, and we still have ways to protect ourselves." "Lord, if you are so confident, then, so do I" Gross refreshed and looked like a  I want to look like I can recommend myself.  "Forget it, stay here to guard the camp. Just choose two other people with good strength." Ivan shook his head.  "This okay!" Gross wanted to try again, but when he saw Alvin's warning eyes, he could only give up. He turned his head and looked at the crew members who were eavesdropping with their ears raised.  Reluctantly, he picked out two soldiers from inside and ordered them to accompany Ivan into the depths of the island. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? With this experience, his status will always be higher than that of other crew members.  The two named warriors both have second-level strength, but they don¡¯t have rich sailing experience like Gross, so they became Gross¡¯s deputy.  They also knew the key inside, and walked over with silly smiles.  It made Gross's teeth itch and he wished he could replace them on the spot.  "Not bad." Ivan looked at the two warriors and nodded.  After a little preparation, the four-person exploration team walked into the forest.  At the beginning, the vegetation in the forest was relatively sparse, and the field of vision could reach more than ten meters. However, as the team advanced more than a hundred meters.  The visibility in the forest immediately dimmed, and the distance between trees began to slowly shrink, making it almost impossible for one person to pass through.  Without Ivan¡¯s instructions, the two soldiers automatically drew out their machetes, walked to the front, and chopped down the entangled vines and small trees to clear the way for the team to move forward.  Aiwen and Sika opened a distance of about two or three meters from the two soldiers who opened the way. This distance can not only allow timely rescue in the event of an emergency, but also prevent the two soldiers from blocking their sight and delaying the opportunity.  .  Because the light in the forest is getting darker and darker.  The two soldiers who opened the way in front also became more and more careful. Not only did they try to chop down the plants as gently as possible, but they also stopped every time they advanced a certain distance, raised their heads and sniffed around.  It seems to use its sense of smell to compensate for the limitations of its field of vision.  It¡¯s just that this kind of behavior is too damaging to the image, so although Alvin and Sika have sharper senses than the two of them, neither of them made such a move.  "There is indeed something weird here." After walking quietly behind Ivan for a while, Sika suddenly said.  Because he didn't want the soldiers who were opening the way to hear him, he lowered his voice very low, and Ivan had to be close enough to barely hear it clearly.  "Why, what did you figure out in such a short time?" Ivan asked curiously without looking back. In terms of biology, Sika's accumulated knowledge was much better than him, and he did not hesitate to ask for advice.  .  "Viscount Alvin, you think too highly of me. I only do some research on biological modification. I'm really not an expert in exploring in the forest. However, I have walked in similar forests many times in the past, so I can be considered a bit expert.  Experience, I think it's too quiet here, not like a normal forest at all," Sika said solemnly.  "Oh, yes, this is the most puzzling thing about this island. The vegetation on this island is so lush that you can't find it."?A large creature.  "Aiwen suddenly understood. He just mentioned to Sika that there were dangers on this island, without giving any specific details, so he quickly explained. "It's just that you can't see any large creatures?  "Xika shook his head after hearing this: "If the rumors are true, I think the danger on the island is becoming more and more serious, and now most small creatures are not spared.  " Ivan thought about it, and sure enough, along the way, not to mention large creatures, even small creatures were not seen. If it were in Lilith's Bloody Necklace Mountains, the animals there had been hunted by mercenaries, far away  It makes sense to run away when you hear a noise in the distance, but if you don't see one, this is an island and you haven't seen outsiders for a long time. The only explanation is that there are not many of them left.  ¡°If there are really dangerous creatures lurking on the island, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising to see this happen.  "Ai Wen thought for a while and replied seriously: "Such a creature must eat meat. It first ate all the large creatures on the island and couldn't find anything to eat. Naturally, it thought of those small creatures.  .  " "Viscount Alvin, your explanation certainly makes sense, but things are not that simple. What makes me most surprised is that I found that there are very few insects and ants here.  "Sika shook his head and added. When Ivan heard this, he thought that it was indeed the case. There were indeed not many nasty mosquitoes in this forest. Before, he thought it was because he was at the edge of the forest and close to the seaside. So mosquitoes  There are not many talents, but now that they have gone deep into the forest, there are still not many mosquitoes, which is a bit strange. ¡°The forest is full of rotten branches and leaves and moist soil, which are good places to breed a lot of insects and ants.  But I sensed very few insects and ants along the way. If the disappearance of those small animals can be explained, then what about those insects and ants, they couldn't have been captured and eaten, right?  "Sika continued to question. "This is an island after all. Even if the unknown beasts on the island eat up all the animals on the island, you can still catch fish on the beach.  There is no way he could be reduced to eating insects and ants.  As for the scarcity of insects and ants, it is indeed a bit strange, but there can be other explanations!  "Ivan thought for a moment and smiled. "Viscount Ivan, do you really think there will be any other explanation for this kind of thing?  "Sika asked back. "Maybe" Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe the environment here is not suitable for insects and ants to live?  " "Viscount Alvin.  If you really know how to joke, can insects and ants choose a place to grow?  "Xika stopped speechlessly, bent down, inserted one hand into the pile of dead leaves on the ground, searched for a while, and pulled out a long worm the size of a finger: "Look.  Does this little guy look like he's malnourished?  "Haha, I'm just guessing, why do you have to do this" Ivan laughed dryly. In this strange field, he really didn't have the confidence to argue with Sika. "In short, the end point is the existence of the island that can threaten  The ferocious beasts of third-level professionals, not what such ferocious beasts would do to insects and ants, right?  " Sika was stunned for a moment, then threw the long insect in her hand to the ground and nodded: "Viscount Aiwen.  You're right, I'm too arrogant. The key to this operation is the possible existence of the ferocious beast.  " Not long after Aiwen and Sika stopped talking, the two people leading the way suddenly stopped, and one person returned and reported to Aiwenhui: "Lord.  We smelled a fragrance, which seemed to be coming from one side. Please tell me, Lord, if we should go and have a look.  " " Aroma?  "When Aiwen and Sika heard this, they both sniffed the air and smelled a faint sweet fragrance. This fragrance was mixed with various corrupt and strange smells emitted in the forest. Unexpectedly, they smelled  It¡¯s difficult to distinguish it. ¡°Could this smell be honey?  "Ai Wen said in surprise. He has almost never seen honey in the underground world for so many years. The reason is that it is difficult for this kind of small bug to adapt to the environment of the underground world. Even if it barely survives, the living space in the underground world is small and the food output is always low.  When demand exceeds supply, how can it be possible to turn a large amount of land into a garden so that they can reproduce in large numbers? But we have to admit that honey is a good thing. Although no one wants to plant flowers and grow honey on their own territory, everyone does.  I hope to buy honey from others. A jar of honey is enough to cause a war between the two territories. "Honey?"  "Sika is even worse than Ivan. Although Ivan has lived a harder life in this life, he has experienced it in his previous life, but he has only seen this word in books. "Maybe, few people come to the forest here.  No wonder there is honey.  "Ai Wen said calmly, but his heart was extremely hot. He did not value the little bit of honey that might exist, but thought of bees from honey. "If there is honey, it means there is honey here."??, maybe we can get some and send them to the small world, so that in a few years, there will be an endless supply of honey produced in the small world" Ai Wen thought to himself. " Ai Wen took a few steps forward,  When he came to the soldier who was leading the way, he sniffed carefully and felt that the sweet fragrance in the air was a little stronger. He suddenly gained a little more confidence. He turned his neck and smelled left and right, and immediately turned to the left.  Pointing: "The scent is coming from over there, let's go over and take a look!  "    "OK!  "The two soldiers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. As soon as they finished speaking, they turned around and started chopping hard with machetes. The vegetation blocking the road was chopped down one after another. After a few minutes, the four finally found  The source of the sweet fragrance is a blue flower hidden under a wide leaf. The flower looks like a wine glass, with the petals almost all fused together and only slightly separated at the top.  People circled around the blue flower and finally determined that the sweet fragrance came from this flower. ¡°It¡¯s such a strange flower. I¡¯ve never seen it before.  " "But it smells so good. Could it be the nectar inside?"  "The two soldiers whispered. "I seem to have seen it somewhere" Ivan looked at the flowers in front of him and felt that the flowers had a sense of sight. He thought about it for a while before he remembered. He was not among those.  I have seen similar flowers, pitcher plants, in the magic plant map, but in my previous life. ¡°So that¡¯s the case. If that¡¯s true, then it makes sense why there are so few insects and ants on this island!  "Ai Wen thought. But this is not a big deal, even if he is cheated, it is not a big deal, so he did not remind him, he just stood aside with a smile, ready to watch the jokes of the other three people. Although Sika didn't know this clearly  The story of the flower, but he had no interest in plants. Seeing that Aiwen didn't move, he just stood aside boredly. "Lord, this flower?"  "Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the flowers, and seeing Alvin and Sika standing next to the flowers without any movement, a soldier finally couldn't help but asked. "I don't need this kind of thing, if you want it.  I will reward you!  "Aiwen smiled. "Thank you, Lord!  "The soldier was overjoyed immediately. "You know, even nobles who don't live well can rarely eat desserts a few times a year, let alone warriors like them. Since this flower exudes a sweet fragrance,  There is obviously nectar inside. Seeing that the flower is the size of a wine glass, the nectar inside must not be less than a quarter! The other soldier suddenly looked at his companion with envy, and secretly regretted it.  It was just a step too late! But he thought about it and followed closely behind his companion, thinking that he might be able to get some benefits through his usual relationship. With Aiwen's permission, the soldier carefully grabbed his hand.  He twisted the flower stem hard. He was stunned, but the flower stem didn't break. He suddenly turned red and used all his strength to finally pick off the flower. In the quiet forest, he could clearly hear the flower shaking.  There was a slight sound of water. The soldier was stunned for a moment. He knew that the nectar was not sticky, but it was not going to spread everywhere in a flash. So he looked up and was shocked. "There are so many.  Insects and ants!  "    "What did you say?  "Xika was startled and immediately stepped forward. "There are a lot of insects and ants in this flower.  "The soldier handed the flower to Sika as if he was about to throw away the stolen goods. "Well, that's it!  "Sika took it and took a look, and immediately understood. "I saw a layer of clear liquid like water in the flower, and bursts of sweet fragrance emanated from the liquid. There were hundreds of black spots floating in the liquid. Look carefully.  At first glance, they are all empty shells of insects and ants. ¡°This is a kind of insectivorous flower!¡±  "Sika said. "It seems that there are few insects and ants here for a reason.  "Aiwen smiled. "Well, at least you don't have to worry about meeting a pervert.  "Sika said. The two soldiers didn't care about the problem of insects and ants. They were just a little frustrated. It was rare that the liquid that smelled so sweet was not nectar, but plant digestive juice that digested a large number of insects and ants. "Give it back to you.  .  "Xika handed the flower back to the soldier with a smile. The soldier glanced at Xika with a resentful look, muttered, threw the flower in his hand to the ground with some annoyance, turned around and continued to clear the way forward.  Ai Wen smiled and wanted to follow him. He glanced at the fallen flowers from the corner of his eye and suddenly saw a familiar insect. He crouched down and took a look. Sure enough, it was the underground bee recorded in the atlas, but it looked slightly different.  Something is different. ¡°It seems like my wish is.There is still a chance of realization.  "Ai Wen thought. The four of them continued walking deeper into the forest. Along the way, they encountered the sweet-smelling carnivorous flower several times. However, everyone who had experienced it once never wasted time for it again.  After a cursory look, they walked by slowly for a while and found nothing unusual. The tense atmosphere among the four people gradually relaxed. Suddenly, a soldier screamed, and his whole body seemed to be hit by something.  He was grabbed, fell to the ground, and then dragged into the dense woods. Something happened suddenly. The remaining people instinctively chased after the soldier in the direction where he was dragged away, but the soldier was dragged away.  The speed was extremely fast, and the woods were dense and difficult to navigate. Soon they lost track of their companions. ¡°Lord, what should I do?  "The remaining soldier said with a frightened expression. "Don't worry, I have put a magic mark on you all in advance to prevent you from getting separated in the woods!  "Ai Wen looked ugly, but he was not worried. He stretched out his hand and made a handprint. He immediately sensed the location of the warrior in his mind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the information transmitted back from the mage's brand, the guard should be  It's okay. "Lord, you are really foresight" The soldier was speechless and didn't know how to describe Ai Wen's approach. "Does it happen to me too?"  "Xika lowered her voice and said with some dissatisfaction. "Yes, but if you feel uncomfortable, I can also remove it for you.  "Ivan glanced at him and replied in a low voice. "This let's forget it this time, but Viscount Ivan, I hope you can tell me before you mark me next time.  "Xika said angrily. "Yes, but if you feel uncomfortable, I can remove it for you.  "Ivan glanced at him and replied in a low voice. "This let's forget it this time, but Viscount Ivan, I hope you can tell me before you mark me next time.  "Xika said angrily.
