Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 231 "What kind of island is this?!" (Two in one)

What came into view was an almost endless expanse of emerald green. The huge leaves were like human heads, and there stood giant trees in between that required several people to hug. On the ground, every few steps one could see earthworms as thick as fingers leisurely turning over in the soil. The air was filled with the unique freshness and purity of the forest, which lifted the spirits of Annabeth and her companions who were on the island for the first time.

“The oxygen concentration here is abnormally high.”

Tyson took a deep breath of the moist air, his eyes widened in amazement, "Plus this humid environment, if nothing unexpected happens, there must be a Cyclops habitat hidden on the island."

Annabeth nodded vigorously, but a hint of worry inadvertently flashed in her eyes.

A true adult Cyclops is over a hundred meters tall, has a brutal temperament, a mind full of destructive impulses, and is impossible to communicate with.

And now no one knows where Rango has run off to. If this group of people encounter the Cyclops, they might end up being wiped out.

and also
She looked calmly at Luke and others who were also full of curiosity and excitement not far away, speculating secretly in her heart.

She couldn't understand how Rango reached an agreement with this group of people. They were clearly at loggerheads before, but in a blink of an eye, they turned enemies into friends and started working together.

Annabeth couldn't trust these guys and could only hope that Rango would come back soon.

"Teddy."

She slowed down her pace and asked Teddy, who was lying comfortably on a strange rock at the back of the team, "Do you know where Rango went? Why did he disappear without telling us in advance?"

Teddy glanced at her sideways, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "We are here to find the Golden Fleece, not to take care of you. Why should we tell you where we are going? Don't forget, if it weren't for us, you would have been eaten by sharks! Think about your position before you speak!"

Annabeth was speechless. Compared with Rango and Yumi, this little guy's words were much more irritating.

"And that one-eyed guy, yes, that's right, it's you, Tyson."

Teddy shouted at Tyson again, "When we set out, you said that the Cyclops and the Golden Fleece were in a cave on the seabed, but this doesn't look like a cave at all? Did you deliberately lie to us?"

"Uh." Tyson looked around at the seemingly endless edge of the island, scratched his head, and said thoughtfully: "Judging from the current oxygen concentration and weather characteristics, this is definitely not the Bermuda Sea where we were before. It is very likely that the sinking of the sea monster has brought us into a brand new underground world that has not been explored by humans."

"What?" Teddy's eyes widened and he shouted in surprise, "You mean, like in Journey to the Center of the Earth, this is another world under the sea?"

"It's very likely." Tyson nodded vigorously. "Look at these plants. Even the tropical rain forest with the most oxygen outside cannot compare to them. And those giant birds flying in the sky, when have you ever seen a bird as big as a pterosaur?"

"besides."

The boy spoke incessantly, as if to verify his own views for everyone, but Teddy's expression became more and more strange.

As the brother who has been with Rango the longest since childhood, he has the same hobby as Rango, which is watching movies.

Listening to what the one-eyed boy said, he felt that this place was not like the inner world of the earth, but more like "Jurassic Park!"

Fake!

Wouldn’t it be possible to really encounter a dinosaur?

He knew that it was a wrong decision to follow this group of energetic teenagers to the island.

Thinking of this, Teddy patted the stones under him in dissatisfaction.

However, his worries instantly vanished when he saw Malphite muttering to him because he had been hit on the head.

With Malphite here, even if a hundred dinosaurs come, it doesn't seem that scary.
Soon, under the leadership of this group of little demigods, their team quickly passed through the dense outer jungle and went deep into the island.

It is worth mentioning that although these descendants of gods perform mediocrely in battle, their divine power can play an unexpected role in certain special situations.

For example, right now, several demigod hybrids who possessed plant powers exerted their powers, and the originally impenetrable jungle vegetation automatically made way for a path, making it extremely convenient.

"These guys are not fit to be warriors at all."

Teddy sat on a huge dead tree next to a wide pond and joked to Moffitt: "If we let them plant trees, maybe we can solve the problem of global warming."

"Yes--"

Moffitt replied in a low voice.

Teddy continued his complaints: "They are definitely the most useless descendants of gods in the universe. Especially the one named Luke. His father is known as the God of Speed, but this guy's divine power is only slightly faster than that of an ordinary person. He can't even compare to McQueen. How can he be called the God of Speed?"

"Yes--"

"And Annabeth, her mother is Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, but what about her? Apart from holding up a shield and putting up a few small barriers, she is almost useless. Not to mention Tyson, who, apart from being a little stronger, is not even as good as Dom in New York. Oh, by the way, you don't seem to know Dom, I'll introduce you to him when I have time, he's a very interesting bald guy, and since you're both bald, maybe you can get along well."

"OK--"

"."

Teddy chattered on and on, but Malphite's answer was always just two simple words.

"Hey, stop being so stingy with your words, ok, man? We are partners and family, can't you say a few more words to me?"

Teddy shook his head helplessly, then stood up from the dead tree and looked around.

Those little demigods were carefully observing their surroundings by the water pond. Those that could fly had already floated into the air, exploring the next direction to move forward.

"Aren't these guys hungry? They should set up camp right now, find food, and wait for Rango to come."

"Yes--"

"I bet you a hundred bucks you can't fit a complete sentence in your head."

Teddy replied speechlessly, and then said seriously: "We can't rely on these guys. Come on, Stone, let's go find something to eat."

Starting from Bermuda, after several consecutive battles, even Teddy, who likes to watch the fun, started to feel his stomach growling.

But Annabeth and the others still looked like they were obsessed with the Golden Fleece, which made Teddy very unhappy.

bang——

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Teddy's expression froze and he felt his body shaking slightly.

"Stone. Was it an earthquake?"

Malphite shook his head in confusion, then jumped on the ground a few times to indicate that everything was normal.

Teddy slowly shifted his gaze downward, and in an instant, cold sweat soaked the hair on his forehead.

The seemingly ordinary dead tree he was standing on was actually trembling slightly, and then four claws as sharp as knives suddenly stretched out from both sides of the wood, like a long-lurking hunter finally showing his fangs.

This creature, shaped like a dead tree, suddenly stood up straight, with a huge mantis-like head extending from the front. Its compound eyes flashed with cold light, staring at Teddy that was sliding off its body.

The huge, jagged mouth suddenly opened, as if it wanted to swallow Teddy in one gulp!
"Stone!"

“Right now—!”

Moffitt's voice exploded in Teddy's ears.

He rushed out from the side like a black lightning. Although his body had returned to its usual size of one meter, his aura was still as impressive as ever. He jumped up and slammed his head into the wooden monster's mouth like a meteorite!

boom!
The monster's head, which had a ferocious look on its face in the last second, was instantly smashed to pieces by this powerful headbutt!
Green plasma and brain fragments splattered everywhere, pouring down on Teddy like a rainstorm.

"Pooh!"

Teddy spat out the blood foam that splashed into his mouth fiercely, looking at the green monster blood on his body with disgust on his face, "What the hell is this? Damn it! Is there any parasite?!"

Annabeth and the others also rushed over at this time, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Teddy was not injured.

Although Teddy usually speaks harshly, he and Rango have a very deep relationship. If anything happens to Rango under their care, Rango will never let it go.

Tyson walked up to the monster that looked like a dead tree. At this time, the guy's head had been smashed to pieces by a headbutt from Moffitt, but its body was still twitching stubbornly, and the blade-like claws on its limbs were still waving like a nerve reflex, looking very terrifying.

"This monster"

Tyson muttered to himself. He pulled out a thick notebook from his backpack and flipped through it quickly. After flipping through dozens of pages, his eyes suddenly became shocked. "It turned out to be a giant spore mantis monster!"

Teddy, who was wiping blood off a little demigod's pants with his head, asked in confusion after hearing this: "Such a big thing is actually a praying mantis?"

He had just witnessed with his own eyes the spectacular sight of the dead tree standing up from the ground. It was at least three to five meters tall. How could there be such a big mantis in the world?

"Yes, it's the praying mantis." Tyson's eyes were full of shock. "This is a legendary monster! Ancient Greek warriors once saw it when they were traveling, but it has disappeared for thousands of years. I didn't expect to encounter it here today."

".I hate praying mantises!"

Teddy muttered unhappily. Even though he had wiped all the green blood on the fur onto the pants of a little demigod who dared not speak, the strange smell still made him feel uncomfortable.

He walked to the pond muttering to himself, looking at the vast expanse of water in front of him. He first dipped his hand in the water and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and after making sure there was no strange smell, he jumped in without hesitation.

As a clean little bear, he couldn't stand the sight of himself smelling bad.

"Oh I have to say."

Teddy poked his head out of the puddle and said in surprise, "This water is really cool, but it has a faint smell of cow dung. It looks like we have fresh steak to eat tonight."

Tyson smiled and responded: "Based on the dense vegetation on this island, there must be many herbivores living here, and we will never worry about food. But it is a bit troublesome because the vegetation is too lush. We don't know which direction to go."

Before he finished speaking, his smile suddenly froze and he turned in Teddy's direction with shock in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Teddy shook off the water droplets on his head with a bewildered look on his face. Suddenly, he felt the water surface tremble violently, and then a huge shadow enveloped him and swallowed his entire body.

He slowly turned his head, and what came into his sight was a giant buffalo that was much larger than the mantis monster. It was lowering its huge head and staring at him coldly.

"Again?"

"Moo!"

The giant bull let out a low roar, then suddenly raised its head and pushed Teddy out of the pool!

"Family?!"

When Malphite saw Teddy being knocked flying, he jumped out with an angry roar!

His body expanded rapidly in the air, and when he fell into the pool, he was as big as the giant buffalo.

Bang!
Without any hesitation, Moffitt got close and punched the giant bull hard on the head!
The blow was so powerful that the giant buffalo, which was so majestic a second ago, became dizzy instantly and half of its body sank into the pool.

Then, he grasped the bull's horns with both hands, exerted force from his waist, lifted the giant bull with a roar, and then slammed it hard on the shore!

Afterwards, the lava beast seemed to still not feel satisfied, and suddenly jumped up from the pool of water, leaping to a height of several dozen meters. Using the momentum of falling, it stomped hard on the giant bull's head with its feet!
In an instant, the giant bull's huge head exploded like a ripe watermelon, and fragments flew everywhere!

"Roar--!"

Malphite roared angrily at the headless buffalo on the ground. Obviously, the giant bull's behavior of knocking Teddy away just now completely enraged him.

"Hey? Alright man, this guy is dead."

Teddy dusted off his butt and spoke to Moffitt in a soothing tone.

Seeing that Teddy was safe and sound, Murphite stepped on the giant bull's body, pulled the bull's leg hard, and instantly tore off a several-meter-long bull leg!

"Family, you want steak."

"."

Looking at the huge bull leg in front of him, Teddy smiled helplessly, took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to Moffitt.

------

night.

Everyone sat around several blazing bonfires. Although they talked about a variety of topics, almost everyone's eyes kept glancing at the giant piece of beef hind leg meat that had been cut into dozens of pieces beside the bonfire.

After experiencing the excitement and anticipation of arriving on the island for the first time, and the two thrilling encounters that followed, even these descendants of gods could not help but feel hungry at this moment, eager to fill their stomachs with carbohydrates.

Teddy took a bite of a piece of roasted beef, and after chewing it for a few times, an expression of difficulty in swallowing immediately appeared on his face.

The taste of beef without seasoning is really hard to compliment.

However, when he thought about how long he would have to stay on the island, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the beef in his mouth with difficulty.

He turned his head and looked at Moffitt, who was chewing a piece of bluestone not far away, with envy in his eyes. This guy really lives a comfortable life. As long as it is stone, he can eat it with relish.

He turned his gaze to Tyson again. The boy was looking down at the book in his hand. According to him, the book recorded the experiences of many ancient Greek warriors when they traveled and adventured, including detailed descriptions of ancient monsters.

"Have you found out what kind of monster this big buffalo is?" Teddy asked.

"I'm not quite sure yet. After all, there are too many bull-shaped monsters." Tyson frowned and continued, "But judging from its horns and body shape, it does look a bit like a monster called 'Lonely Reef Bull Demon'."

Teddy curled his lips when he heard that. The name sounded so impressive, but in fact he couldn't even withstand a punch from Moffitt.

"Have you found out what this place is?" Teddy shrugged and asked, "Since there are so many legendary ancient monsters, and you Greeks have encountered them before, there must be records of them."

"It's the center of the earth. It must be the center of the earth!"

Tyson immediately answered affirmatively. He clenched the pages of the book in his hand, his eyes solemn, "Given the size of Charybdis's sea monster, even in an ordinary ocean, perhaps only creatures like blue whales can be qualified as its food. But it is imprisoned in Bermuda, where can it find so many whales? This guy must have found a cave leading to the inner world on the seabed, and then came to this sea area." "You can also see that the creatures here, whether insects or beasts, are surprisingly large, which can fully satisfy its appetite."

"It's recorded in the book that a warrior once came to an island full of giant beasts during a shipwreck, including a giant sea beast with saw-like teeth. Isn't this exactly the same as what we are facing?"

Seeing Tyson's enthusiastic expression, Teddy scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Even if the animals here are a little bigger and the climate is abnormal, it doesn't prove that this is the center of the earth, right?"

Tyson shook his head and said seriously: "It must be, otherwise there is no way to explain such a strange place on the earth."

".All right."

Teddy wrinkled his nose and stopped pursuing the topic. He didn't care where this place was. He just wanted to know how long it would take Rango to come back and where the Golden Fleece was.

"But, have you ever thought about one thing?"

"what?"

"This island is so dark at night. Will all these bonfires attract the giant beasts on the island?"

"Ok?"

Tyson was stunned, then shook his head and said confidently, "No, basically all wild animals are afraid of light and fire. This is their natural instinct. They have no reason to..."

Rumbling--

Before the boy finished speaking, a deep and shocking roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest in the distance. The sound was like the breathing of an ancient beast, or like a tremor coming from deep in the earth's crust, as if some huge monster was approaching.

Then, in their sight, under the impact of this force, huge trees were ruthlessly broken and trampled like fragile straws, turning into flying wood chips and broken branches.

"What the hell, you're such a jinx." Teddy opened his mouth speechlessly, then quickly took small steps and ran to Malphite, ready to abandon these little demigods at the critical moment and run for his life.

While Tyson was shocked, he looked at the huge body and couldn't help thinking something in his mind.

He quickly raised his hand to signal everyone not to panic, and said firmly: "Calm down! If nothing unexpected happens, it must be that the Cyclops on the island was attracted by the fire. Put away your weapons, don't show any hostility, and let me communicate with him!"

Hearing his words, Annabeth and the others looked at the single eye on Tyson's head, and after looking at each other, they put away their weapons.

They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the Cyclops would consider themselves as fellow creatures and communicate with them properly.

At this moment, Tyson looked nervously at the huge figure approaching them.

Faced with that mountain-like body, even though he was a descendant of a god, his palms were covered with sweat.

"My mother is also a Cyclops, so what should I call this big guy?" Tyson complained in his heart.

uncle?

No, although the book says that all the Cyclops in the world are descendants of Gaia, this does not mean that they will have a good impression of their own kind.

For example, the group of demigod descendants behind him are all related to each other, but not long ago they were thinking about killing each other.

"call"

Looking at the huge shadow that was approaching and was about to walk out of the forest and stand in front of them, Tyson took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself.

He forced a smile on his face and prepared to speak.

"gentlemen."

However, as soon as he uttered two words, Tyson's smile completely froze on his face.

Not only him, but everyone present, including Teddy, except the heartless Moffitt, all looked in disbelief at the figure not far away who was watching them coldly.

"so."

Teddy turned his head and looked at Tyson, who was blinking his one eye with a confused look on his face. "The legendary Cyclops is actually James?"

"Roar--!"

Under the moonlight, a huge figure like a towering mountain emerged from the darkness. It was a giant gorilla! It slapped its broad chest hard, opened its huge mouth, and let out a deafening roar!
Snapped!
A large pool of sticky saliva suddenly spurted out of the gorilla's huge mouth and landed squarely on Tyson's head.

Looking at the giant gorilla in front of him, which was countless times larger than the beast in the movie "King Kong", Tyson looked around with tears in his eyes.

This is not his uncle, how should he communicate with him?
He wiped the saliva off his face helplessly, stared at the giant gorilla that was approaching, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Run!"

Before he finished speaking, Tyson turned his head and saw that Teddy, Annabeth, Luke and others had already run away, leaving him far behind.

"Fuck! You are so disloyal!" Tyson cursed in his heart, but he didn't bother to complain. He quickly took steps and fled the scene as fast as he could.

Behind him, the roar of the gorilla was deafening. In the woods, many giant birds that looked like pterosaurs were scared and fled in all directions. The whole scene was thrilling.

After escaping to the woods nearby, Teddy hugged Moffitt's head tightly and turned to look behind him.

The giant gorilla roared and scared them all away. Instead of chasing them, it sat cross-legged next to the pond and grabbed the roasted beef they had prepared and stuffed it all into its mouth like a snack.

"Um"

When Teddy saw this, he raised his hand and patted Moffitt's head, signaling him to stop and wait and see.

In addition to Teddy, Annabeth and the others also noticed the gorilla's unusual behavior. Seeing that it didn't catch up, they all stopped running and hid behind the trees, carefully observing the gorilla.

"Tyson!"

Teddy clasped his hands together and shouted to Tyson, who was soaked in saliva not far away, "Are you sure this guy is not a Cyclops?"

"Of course not!"

Tyson said unhappily, "Look at it, how does it have anything to do with humans? And does it look like it only has one eye?!"

"Shit, how would I know if this is a reversion of your Cyclops ancestors?!"

“You are racist!”

"Thanks for the compliment, kid!"

"."

After Teddy retorted to Tyson, he continued, "Since this guy is not a Cyclops, what should we be afraid of? It's just a little bigger. To put it bluntly, it's a gorilla!"

"You call it 'just a little bigger'?" Annabeth rolled her eyes. "It's almost as tall as the next mountain!"

"So what? Malphite can also grow that big, right, man?" Teddy looked down at the stone man under him.

Murphy nodded, staring at the gorilla chewing the buffalo carcass in the distance, and growled, "Bump!"

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's not time to start the collision yet."

Teddy quickly stopped the impulsive stone man, and suggested to Annabeth and the others, "Since it's not the Cyclops you mentioned, and it looks like it's easy to communicate with, why don't we go find it and ask if there are any other creatures of the same size as it on the island? That way we can find out the location of the Cyclops, right?"

"What did you say?" Annabeth and the others showed expressions of disbelief on their faces after hearing his words. They looked at each other, as if they had heard some fairy tale.

The huge creature in front of us was far from being easy to communicate with. It exuded a primitive wildness that made people feel scared at first sight.

And, most importantly,
"This guy is an ape!" Annabeth's fair face flushed, and she was obviously angered by this sentence. "We are human beings. How do you think we can communicate with such a primitive creature?!"

"How should I know? I'm not human!"

"."

Annabeth sighed helplessly. She had to admit that at this moment she also felt that it was a bad idea to go to the island before Rango arrived.

On the other side, Teddy looked at these little demigods who were full of fear and confusion, and curled his lips in disdain. He had already expected that these guys could not be relied on at the critical moment.

Now that Rango is not here, he must step up and show his leadership!

Thinking of this, he whispered a few words to Moffitt below him, and then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the bear and the stone walked towards the giant King Kong by the pool without hesitation.

"Is this kid crazy?" Tyson widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

Annabeth narrowed her eyes slightly, and the armor, sword, and shield on her body instantly appeared. She nervously reminded: "Be careful. If the situation gets bad, be ready to rescue Teddy at any time."

With Malphite's quick strides, the two of them soon arrived in front of King Kong.

At this moment, this guy was lying comfortably on the ground, supporting his head with one hand, with his two feet stretched into the pool, shaking constantly.

As it moved, violent ripples appeared on the water surface.

When it saw Teddy and Moffitt, it just glanced at them indifferently and ignored them, concentrating on playing in the water with its feet.

"This guy is actually quite clean. He even has the mood to soak his feet."

"Let's bump into it."

"Fuck, how many times do you want me to tell you that it's not time to crash yet!"

Teddy glared at Malphite unhappily. Then, he mustered up his courage, jumped off the stone head, and walked cautiously to King Kong.

"Good evening, big guy."

"."

However, King Kong just raised his eyelids, took a look at the little guy who was not even as big as his finger, then lost interest and continued to look at the pool.

Teddy felt relieved when he saw that the other party did not show any desire to attack.

He leaned forward and began gesticulating with his hands.

He stretched his arms as wide as he could, then closed one eye and asked seriously, "Have you ever seen a creature about your size that only has one eye?"

However, King Kong ignored him and just stared blankly at the water, shaking his big feet underwater from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Teddy shook his head helplessly when he saw this. He realized that he could not communicate effectively with this primitive creature.

But then he thought of another idea. He took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket and quickly drew the shape of an orangutan. Then he drew a monster with a similar body shape but with only one eye on its forehead.

"Cyclops! Do you understand?"

Teddy held up the paper in his hand and shouted to King Kong, "A Cyclops as big as you!"

However, the King Kong's reaction was the same as before, and it ignored it.

"OK, you stupid guy!" Teddy cursed angrily, threw the paper in his hand hard, and prepared to follow Malphite to evacuate this frustrating scene.

"The movies are all fake, man." He complained to Moffitt beside him, "Chimpanzees don't even have the IQ of a four or five-year-old human!"

Wow——!
But just as Teddy was complaining, the originally calm water surface suddenly erupted with a deafening sound.

A huge pink octopus suddenly jumped out of the water, and its tentacles tightly wrapped around King Kong's feet, which were swinging leisurely before.

"Roar--!"

Faced with this sudden threat, King Kong seemed to be prepared. He jumped up from his lazy state in an instant, stretched out his giant hand, and grabbed the octopus fiercely.

However, this giant octopus is almost as big as King Kong, and its tentacles are as thick as pillars and covered with terrifying suction cups. They are like tough ropes, tightly binding King Kong's limbs and dragging it underwater with all its strength.

"A generous gift. Crab!" Teddy was stunned, his eyes full of shock.

What kind of island is this? Why is there such a big octopus in such an ordinary pool of water?
"Wait." He suddenly had an idea and said in surprise, "So, the gorilla was deliberately shaking its feet just now to attract the octopus to show up?"

He turned to look at Malphite beside him, shrugged in surprise and said with a smile: "It seems that this guy is not as stupid as we thought."

At this moment, King Kong, who was being whispered about by Teddy, is behind bars.

It originally just wanted to lure an ordinary fish monster, but it didn't expect that the creature it attracted this time was so huge.

Tightly entangled by the giant octopus's tentacles that were as tough as iron chains, King Kong let out a deafening roar. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and frantically bit the tentacles that bound it.

However, the giant octopus seemed to feel no pain at all. The harder King Kong struggled and bit, the tighter its tentacles wrapped around it, as if trying to squeeze every inch of King Kong's muscles.

Soon, most of King Kong's body was dragged into the icy pool of water.

The giant octopus's goal was obviously to drown King Kong.

But its wishful thinking is destined to fail.

“Right now—!”

Under King Kong's ferocious gaze, the insignificant little stone suddenly leaped up, its body rapidly expanded in the air, and leaped into the water like a towering mountain!
Then, he grabbed the octopus's head with his hands like pliers, and with a deafening roar, he tore the huge octopus into two halves!

The inky black liquid, as dark as the abyss, splashed out and poured down on King Kong and Malphite like a rainstorm.

At this moment, looking at the huge gorilla in front of him, Moffitt suddenly felt inexplicably irritated. He shouted loudly: "I also jumped out of a stone, why not a monkey?!"
