The sea surface was still relatively calm, but the waves gradually intensified and surged, and the waves hitting the Destiny sometimes even splashed on the ship's side deck. All aquatic creatures seemed to sense that the storm was coming, and they all sank into the sea, even the Tyrannosaurus Whale, which was as big as an island, was no exception. There was a lingering loud cry on the surface of the sea, and the giant beast in the sea swam into the bottom of the sea to avoid the attack of the storm.
The Destiny also started to sail towards the sea to the left, and there was an island floating not far in front of it. The island is not small in size and is long and narrow. Roughly estimated, the length from the beginning to the end is nearly 100 kilometers long. From a distance, the island has large tracts of jungle and towering mountains, which is a natural haven.
At this time, the sky near the sea level was already as black as ink, and amidst thunderbolts and lightning flashes, a column of wind protruded from the clouds above, slowly causing the waves on the sea surface to spin. In the end, the pillar of wind connected the sky and the earth, and then expanded, forming a twisted and thick tornado. The tornado continued to grow stronger, and with the appearance of squalls and showers, the entire sea was almost like the end of the world. Even though the Destiny is still a long way from the sea level, the hull has already started to shake violently, and it is not difficult for the people on board to feel the violent aura that destroys everything in the storm.
Finally, before the storm arrived, the Destiny sailed to the shallows near the island. The sailor dropped anchor, but that was not enough. The men Ling and Feng personally pulled the cables connecting the hull to the island, and fixed the boat with steel stakes deep into the ground so that it would not be taken away from the island by strong winds and raging waves. After doing this, Zero looked up at the sky.
The whole sky became completely dark, and then the storm came, and the sky even had hail and rain. Zero hurriedly shouted: "Go back to the boat, hurry up!"
Even they are unwilling to be completely exposed to this kind of storm with strong radiation. Everyone nodded. At this time, the wind was already loud, and the whole world was filled with the roar of the wind. It was impossible to convey any information by mouth alone. So everyone didn't say much, and returned to the Destiny in silence. As soon as they entered the Destiny, a sailor immediately took a portable purifier and took a photo of several people. After the machine showed that the radiation dose of several people had reached the safety standard, they put away the instrument and returned to the control room. The lights flickered, making the faces of everyone on the ship uncertain.
This was the first time they encountered such a large-scale storm since they went to sea, and everyone was uncertain. The Destiny has shut down most of its engines, and the steel wings on both sides are also closed to the hull. The whole ship is constantly ups and downs on the sea surface, and the violent turbulence makes everyone very uncomfortable. Through the external light screen of the Destiny, everyone on board could see the huge tornado slowly passing by the sea near the island. can be ignored.
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, they went to this harbor first to take shelter from the wind. Otherwise, if they meet on the propulsion track of the whirlwind, the Destiny will be twisted into a ball in an instant, and the people on board may not be spared. In the face of this terrifying majesty of heaven and earth, even a ninth-level powerhouse like Ling can't get any benefits.
Finally, after nearly an hour of wind and rain, the terrifying tornado finally went away. But the sky did not clear up because of this, but it rained harder. Various detection instruments on the Destiny have shown that the energy magnetic field in this sea area is extremely unstable, and it is possible that this situation will last for a few days before it stabilizes. Before that, it was obviously impossible to continue sailing at sea, so the Destiny had to stay on this island for a few days.
On the second day, the rain stopped, but the wind was strong and chaotic, and the waves on the sea surface hit each other, splashing fluffy gray-white waves. Although the rain has stopped, the sky is still moist. It seems that it is not surprising that there will be a few more rainstorms at any time. The people on the ship also stayed on the Destiny for a while, and now they can't sail, so their interest in the island is getting stronger.
At noon, Haiwei, who couldn't sit still, yelled, "I can't take it anymore, I want to go around the island. If I stay on the boat again, I'm going to die!"
She spoke out the hearts of most people, even Billy was a little moved. Zero also thought it would be good to rest on the island for a day or two. After all, humans are land creatures, and they would get sick if they stayed at sea for too long. So amid Haiwei's cheers, Zero nodded in agreement.
Bringing nutrients and clean water for two days, the group left the Destiny, crossed the shallows with rubber rafts, and landed on a rocky beach. After getting off the boat, Haiwei jumped like a fawn released into the forest. She pulled Ye Liu and ran together, but unfortunately the latter was expressionless. When Haiwei stopped, Yeliu spread her hands and opened her small mouth for a long time before uttering three words: "Childish."
"Let's go, Captain! Let's go on an adventure!" Hai Wei didn't care about Ye Liu's evaluation, she raised her hand and waved her arms and shouted to Ling.
So Captain Zero was temporarily dismissed as the captain of the expedition team, with him as the leader, except for the two girls Haiwei. It also included Leah, Feng, Wolf King Kaiton, Berrien, and Billy. Never followed, firstly, she is not interested in this kind of activity, and secondly, she also needs a general to sit on the boat, so as not to let some dangerous sea creatures jump out suddenly and sink the fortuneteller.
Said it was an adventure, but Zero didn't mean to go deep into the island. Think of it as a break in the middle of the voyage, play around the shore of the island for a day or two, and leave when the weather stabilizes. After all, no one knew what would happen on the island, and although there should be no threat to these people, Zero didn't want to create side effects. Everyone has no opinion on his decision.
After passing the rocky beach on the shore, there is a tropical jungle. There are many fruits growing on the tall coconut tree. Haiwei climbed up and knocked down a few like a monkey. Yeliu cut it open with dark lines, and inside was sweet coconut juice and thick fruits. After Zero took a sip and confirmed that there was no toxin, the others started to eat and drink a coconut. The jungle spread out so wide that it could barely see its edge. In addition to coconut trees, there are also other ferns and trees growing, which are widely distributed and form a natural windbreak.
It was very damp in the jungle because of the rain that had just fallen. The ecology here is also very rich. Some three-eyed monkeys that have evolved thin fleshy membranes between their limbs are flying around in the bushes. Their goal is to eat fruits like coconuts. However, on some tall trees, there will be a mutated python with a skin that is almost the same as that of a tree. When the monkey picks the fruit, it will bite it from behind silently.
The three eyeballs of those mutated monkeys can look in different directions, and they can observe a wide range. They are also very sensitive, nine out of ten pounces made by the giant python miss. But there are many monkeys, and the giant python can always find something to eat.
However, the giant python is not without natural enemies, just like at this moment. A giant python had just swallowed a monkey, suddenly there was a sharp sound from the sky, and a giant eagle as big as a liger jumped down, grabbed the python and flew into the sky. While flying, he pecked at it with his steel-like eagle beak, tearing off a piece of flesh from the boa constrictor with every bite, and the giant snake immediately spilled a large amount of blood from the sky. It was not willing to be a delicious meal for others, but it circled its body and rolled towards the giant eagle, so one eagle and one python fought in the air, and finally disappeared into the sky staggeringly.
"It's really a dangerous place." Feng sighed, he was holding the Tang knife horizontally, and the tip of the knife nailed a boa constrictor that swam silently down from the tree to the trunk.
Haiwei shook her head and said, "You seem to be more dangerous."
Feng glared at him immediately, clapped his palms together and said: "The situation in the forest is unknown, so don't go too deep, just rest here."
"In this case, let's roast and eat this big snake." Haiwei said with drooling: "If you eat more nutrients, you will die!"
Zero shook his head and laughed, but he didn't object. So Feng asked Feng to peel off the skin and bones of the python, and then asked Haiwei to pick up some wood and set it up together to light it, and finally threaded the whole giant snake and placed it horizontally on the fire to roast. Not long after, there was the smell of meat wafting on the rocky beach. The smell of meat floated into the jungle, and some bold monkeys came to the fire, not afraid of people, and even pointed at the snake meat and squeaked.
"These guys know what to buy." Feng said, cut off a few slices of roasted meat from the snake with a Tang knife and threw them on the ground.
It turns out that these things are also meat eaters, but this is not surprising. The creatures of the new era basically tend to be carnivorous, which is more conducive to survival. Seeing that the lions were eating deliciously, Haiwei couldn't bear it anymore, and shook Yeliu violently, and the latter cut off a large piece of snake meat with a dark thread in a dizzy manner. Haiwei took a sip first, and said with tears in her eyes, "It smells so good!"
"Then eat it!" Zero smiled, these guys had eaten a lot of nutrients on the boat, and almost forgot the taste of meat. He also tasted it himself, and felt that the taste was really good, so he planned to call a few more. It is also good to roast and distribute to other people on board for a change of taste and to improve the meal. And the island seems to be quite rich in supplies, or you can consider picking melons and fruits, making some eagle snakes and the like to make dry food, and you don't need to eat nutrients every day.
Even a non-picky eater like Zero can't bear to eat nutrients every day, let alone girls like Haiviria. They also tried hunting aquatic creatures at sea before, but the radiation on those octopuses exceeded the standard, and they couldn't eat them at all, so they had to give up. Now with this opportunity, it is naturally a good time to hoard food.
While eating and planning, Zero suddenly saw Leah turn her head and look towards the jungle.
"What's wrong?"
Leah said: "Someone is coming."
"people?"
"That's right." Liya affirmed. After being promoted to the rank of Insight, although she is not good at fighting, her senses are much more sensitive. The same creatures, the aura emitted by humans and animals is completely different. Perhaps for people with abilities like Zero and the others, they can roughly sense life reactions, but it is difficult to distinguish humans from animals.
Zero immediately warned: "Attention, the people who came may be residents of the island. If it is not necessary, try to avoid conflicts as much as possible. After all, we have to stay on their territory for two or three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rolled out from a bush. That's right, not running or jumping, but rolling. Where the figure rolled past, several simple feathered arrows were chased out from the dense forest. Although the feather arrow is simple, it seems that the sharpened wooden branch is used as the arrow, and the feathers are used to balance the airflow. But the arrow body looks wooden, but has a metallic luster. The tip of the arrow is dark green, obviously poisonous. The color is bright, it seems that this poison is not simple.
The figure bounced off the rocky beach after avoiding a few feathered arrows, but it was a dark-skinned girl. This girl reminded Zero of Atesa, the girl who lived on Death Ridge. But the girl in front of her is younger than Atesa, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but similar to Hai Wei. The tube top and wrap skirt on her body are all made of some kind of animal skin, the workmanship is simple, loose and not close to the body. During the movement, the scenery in the clothes was faintly visible, and he looked straight at Feng.
There is some kind of tattoo symbol on the back of the girl, and I don't know what it means. Her long hair was fastened with animal bones, and her whole person was full of a primitive tribal flavor. When she rolled onto the rocky beach, she was visibly taken aback when she saw Zero and others. Following the sudden sound of the wind behind her, the girl jumped up like a frightened cat. She landed on her hands and feet, arched her back and raised her head, glaring towards the direction of the jungle.
Four figures flashed out of the woods, all of them were dark-skinned men, with bows or knives in their hands, both weapons and costumes were very primitive, and they looked exactly like girls. When these men saw Ling, they also showed puzzled expressions. Obviously they were not sure who Ling and they were, and they were unwilling to act rashly.
The scene became so weird, and the three parties were so confrontational. The black girl rolled her eyes, and suddenly shouted at her pursuer: "Up, you are miserable! My helper has arrived, so get the hell out of here!"
When she said this, Zero and several pursuers were moved at the same time. Those primitive people naturally wanted to find so many helpers for the targets they were chasing and killing. Ling thought that this girl was quick-witted and dragged them into trouble with a simple sentence, thus creating a favorable environment for himself.
Sure enough, the four chasers roared immediately, some bowed their bows and set arrows, while the rest rushed over wielding machetes. A feathered arrow pierced through the air, but aimed at Leah. Ling stretched out his hand to copy, then grabbed the arrow in his hand, and at the same time shouted coldly: "Do it, quick battle!"
Feng, Yeliu and Haiwei rushed out at the same time, Haiwei had a piece of snake meat in her mouth, but she did not hesitate to move her hands. Hai Wei, the weakest of the three, also has the strength of the seventh level, and it is easy to deal with a few natives, killing them silently in two or three hits. Seeing that the situation was not right, the last one who made the arrow screamed, turned around and ran, but was hit by an electric snake, and when he fell to the ground naked, another piece of ice flames covered him, and he froze to death immediately.
The black girl opened her mouth wide. She wanted to use the strangers behind her to create a mess so she could escape. Unexpectedly, those few usually vicious guys were taken care of by these people without any effort. The scene was so shocking that she forgot to run away for a moment. When she remembered, her hand had already been grabbed. Turning around, a young man with black hair and yellow skin caught him.
Zero looked at the girl and said indifferently: "Okay, miss, do you owe us an explanation?"
When evening came, it rained again. In a natural karst cave eroded by seawater by the rocky beach, there was a bunch of bonfires. The black girl was sitting by the fire and was devouring the snake meat. Feng returned to the cave before it rained, and made an "OK" gesture to Ling, indicating that the bodies of the aborigines had been sunk into the sea by him.
After eating the last piece of snake meat in her hands, the girl was still sucking the fat from her fingers reluctantly, looking like this, she didn't know how many days she hadn't eaten. Seeing her appearance, Haiwei remembered herself living alone in the Z7 base before she met Zero. Immediately felt sympathy, and handed her a bottle of clean water. The black girl was also polite, she took it and poured it into her mouth. It's just that she drank too fast and choked, and couldn't help coughing again and again.
After recovering, she returned the kettle to Haiwei, and said to everyone, "Thank you, strangers."
"What's your name? Why did those people chase you down?" Haiwei asked curiously.
The black girl lowered her head and said, "My name is Di Lei. Those who chased and killed me just now were my uncle Horn's soldiers. My only family member wants my life now..."
It turned out that there lived an indigenous tribe on this island, and they called themselves the Garan tribe. Di Lei is the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Jialan tribe. Her parents died when she was very young, and she was raised by her grandfather. Originally, the patriarch planned to pass on his position to his granddaughter, but before the wizards in the clan could hold a succession ceremony for Di Lei, the patriarch died suddenly.
Not long after, Di Lei was hunted down, and the person who chased her down was the patriarch's youngest son, who was also under her uncle Horn's men. In short, this is an obvious power struggle incident. Stuff like this happens all the time.
After hearing this, Zero silently took out some dry food and clean water: "These things should be enough for you to eat for a while, and you can go after the rain stops. Until then, rest here in peace."
Upon hearing this, the black girl Di Lei said, "Powerful strangers, I want to beg you. I beg you to help me. I can't let my uncle become the patriarch. He will lead the Jialan tribe to extinction. If you can help me If it is, it should be a breeze for you. After the matter is over, I will pay you enough!"
But after listening to Zero, he chose to remain silent. But Haiwei couldn't help but said: "Head, and everyone. Anyway, we're going to stay on this island for a few days, so let's help her out? How about it?"
Zero said nothing, walked back to his seat and sat down. Haiwei looked at the others, but they didn't say anything, the girl looked at Yeliu again and said, "Yeliu, what do you say?"
"Enough, Haiwei!" Feng suddenly said: "I know you sympathize with this girl, but we have things to do. Although we have to stay on this island because of the weather, how do you know this? Can the matter be resolved within three or two days? What's more, there are so many poor people in this world, how many do you think we can help?"
Feng sighed: "We have done enough."
