Due to the distance, Zhuang Rui could only roughly see the outline of an island, but this also made him ecstatic, in this boundless sea, he could see the land, the mood was no less than seeing an oasis in the desert. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Compressed biscuits, bread, gone?"
Zhuang Rui emptied the pocket of his life jacket and found that there was no food in it except for seven or eight compressed biscuits in sealed packages and two fist-sized breads.
What's worse is that these two things need to be drunk to eat, although Zhuang Rui is now grumbling with hunger, he still stuffed these things back into his pocket, he would rather starve to death than be thirsty to death.
In addition, there is a small knife that Peng Fei stuffed to Zhuang Rui, the black blade emits an inexplicable cold light, if it wasn't inserted in the foam inside the life jacket, Zhuang Rui really didn't know how to carry this thing.
Standing on the reef, Zhuang Rui observed the flow of the sea, and he was pleased that the sea seemed to be flowing in the direction of the island, so that his chances of swimming to the island would increase a lot.
As the saying goes, the mountain runs a dead horse, and the same is true in the sea, friends who have been on the sea ship will know that when the sea ship is about to dock, you can see the coastline from afar, but it often takes a long time to reach the place where you can see the eye.
But...... The island in the distance still makes Zhuang Rui have infinite hope in his heart.
"Damn, fight!"
Looking at the looming island in the distance, Zhuang Rui gritted his teeth, there is no fresh water, staying on this reef will be a dead end sooner or later.
Originally, I hoped that the rescue team could find him, but for more than ten hours, not to mention the human figure, I didn't even see a bird, it seemed that Zhuang Rui was the only one left in the world, and that kind of loneliness made Zhuang Rui really unbearable.
And now it is the time of the rising tide of the day, if you wait until the evening, the sea tide will fall, then even if Zhuang Rui stays on the reef, it is very likely that he will be pulled to the bottom of the sea by the terrifying suction.
Although Zhuang Rui has special abilities, he is not a person from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and if he is bored for a few minutes, his life will still be lost.
"Poof!"
Zhuang Rui jumped into the water very clumsily and swam in the direction of the island.
Zhuang Rui swam with Liu Chuan when he was a child in Pengcheng Yunlong Lake, although the posture is not very beautiful, but it is very practical, plus he has enough physical strength, a few minutes later, he swam out of hundreds of meters, leaving the life-saving reef far behind.
"***, what kind of place is this?"
In order to be afraid of encountering the attack of sharks in the sea, Zhuang Rui's aura has always been released when he is swimming, and he finds that in this sea area, the reefs he saw just now are just the tip of the iceberg.
Below the sea, there are countless semi-tidal reefs, just swimming hundreds of meters in the seawater, Zhuang Rui found no less than hundreds of reefs, if the sea water recedes, it will definitely become a strange rocky tourist resort.
As for the mid-tide reef, it refers to the reef that is exposed to the sea at the halfway point of low tide, and the high tide is submerged, and it is now in the high tide period, so many reefs have not been able to come out of the water.
This kind of reef can be called a ship killer, and the half-tide reef hidden in the sea water has a strange shape, strange rocks, the big ones are dozens of square meters, and the small ones are about three or four meters.
The draft position of the half-tide reef is very shallow, if the ship really sails into this sea area, it will definitely hit the reef and sink, like a reef that Zhuang Rui has just swam on, the shape is long and pointed, like the crown on the rooster, only about one meter from the water surface, if the ship touches it, it seems to be inserted in a sharp knife.
Zhuang Rui's aura exploration range is now about five hundred meters, and when he was swimming, Zhuang Rui also inspected the depth of this sea area, about sixty or seventy meters, you can see the riverbed.
However, compared to the sandy riverbed, the riverbed here is more colorful, with countless swimming fish swimming in it, and overgrown with colorful coral reefs, which makes Zhuang Rui's eyes shine in the middle of those reefs and sand, there are many shipwrecks.
Some boats have their bows up, their hulls buried in the riverbed, while others lie flat on the riverbed, but on the sailboats, they are covered with seaweed and moss.
Some of the boats are no longer distinguishable, and they are connected to the reef, and countless swimming fish shuttle through them, and this has become their shelter.
The wreckage of these ships, most of which are wooden ships, must have been left over from the Age of Discovery in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in a variety of forms.
However, most of the shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea are wooden brigs, and the hull joints are made of wooden pegs.
On a large boat about 30 meters long, Zhuang Rui clearly saw that the round holes in the body of the boat, which were originally used to extend the oars, have now become gates for marine creatures to enter and exit.
And in those wooden boats that have decayed, Zhuang Rui can clearly sense the existence of aura, and there are countless stars.
"Damn, I can't see it, it's so fucking breathless......"
Sensing the place where those strong and weak auras were, Zhuang Rui felt itchy in his heart.
Needless to say, those things must be treasures of age, and it's no wonder that people always say that the ocean is the world's greatest treasure.
In order to set foot on land earlier, Zhuang Rui constantly combed his body with his aura, and kept swimming to the distant islands, only when he was mentally exhausted, he found a reef that could be seen everywhere to rest.
These reefs have little impact on Zhuang Rui, and he can occasionally stop to rest, but the worst thing is that there are a lot of marine life in this area, and most of them are attached to the reefs.
More than half of the aura that Zhuang Rui scattered was injected into the bodies of these sea creatures.
A coral reef can support 400 species of fish, Zhuang Rui's aura attracted groups of colorful sea fish, Zhuang Rui couldn't name them, and there was even a large sea turtle with a diameter of about one meter.
The sea creatures that had absorbed the aura, as if they had been stimulated, emerged from the reef one after another and followed behind Zhuang Rui.
After the initial surprise, Zhuang Rui enjoyed this situation very much, you know, being alone in the sea, that lonely feeling, it is difficult to describe in words.
Now that there are so many sea fish by his side, Zhuang Rui's mood has changed a lot.
", that's ...... Sharks?"
After Zhuang Rui swam forward for a few hundred meters, he suddenly found that the fish behind him had become chaotic, and a big guy with a silver body and a length of about two meters rushed into the fish, opening his big mouth with jagged teeth, devouring the fish that were fleeing in all directions.
This scared Zhuang Rui so much that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, although he had imagined that he might encounter sharks in the sea, but Zhuang Rui never thought that this thing was actually attracted by his own aura.
Although the shark was still twenty or thirty meters away from him, Zhuang Rui's heart was already beating to his throat, and he quickly restrained his aura, not to mention, his body did not dare to continue swimming, and he relied on the buoyancy of his life jacket to float on the sea.
"Buddha bless, Bodhisattva bless, don't come, don't come, can't see me, can't see me......"
After seeing the shark disperse the fish, he swam towards him very leisurely, and Zhuang Rui's "dongdong" heart almost rose to his throat.
Zhuang Rui muttered in a low voice, his expression at the moment was like the character who played his own special function in the Hong Kong Six Little Blessings movie, hoping that this big guy couldn't see him.
However, the shark didn't seem to understand Zhuang Rui's language very much, so he still swam over slowly, and looked at Zhuang Rui with a pair of black eyes like marbles.
"Knife, by the way, I still have a knife......"
Zhuang Rui's hand was on the knife, although he knew that this thing would not pose any threat to the shark, but he could still make himself feel a little more comfortable, as if a person who had fallen from a cliff had grasped a life-saving straw.
As the shark approached, Zhuang Rui's spirit was tense, he knew that he had no chance of winning when he met the shark in the sea, but Zhuang Rui refused to give up, he hadn't seen the unborn child yet!
The shark did not come straight to Zhuang Rui, but circled around Zhuang Rui, as if he was sniffing something with his nose, and after about ten seconds, he suddenly swung his tail fin and swam to the bottom of the sea.
"I'll never eat shark fin again, who the fuck says sharks eat people?"
After seeing the shark swim away, Zhuang Rui's whole body seemed to be drained, and the whole person seemed to be paralyzed, if it wasn't for the life jacket at work, he would have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Zhuang Rui would be extremely resentful of Spielberg, if it weren't for the movie "Jaws" directed by this guy, would he be scared like this?
It's just that Zhuang Rui doesn't know that there are more than 380 species of sharks in the ocean, of which only about 30 species of sharks will take the initiative to attack humans, and more sharks just live on marine fish, and they are not so fond of human flesh.
And Zhuang Rui's luck is also good, the one he just encountered is just an ordinary thresher shark, not a bloodthirsty great white shark, if it is a great white shark, even if Zhuang Rui worships all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, it is estimated that he will also be buried in the belly of the fish.
After climbing the reef, Zhuang Rui didn't want to move, the situation just now was too stimulating, so that the hormones secreted by his cerebral cortex were dozens of times higher than usual.
After lying on the reef for half an hour, Zhuang Rui recovered, and after a glance at the sun that was gradually sinking to the sea level, Zhuang Rui plucked up his courage and jumped into the sea again.
It is not a safe choice to stay on this reef, which is only two or three meters high above the sea, and it is very likely that the sea will be swept into the depths of the ocean at low tide.
Now swimming in the sea, Zhuang Rui no longer dares to release his aura to look around, although the shark just now does not bite, but if he is timid, he is estimated to be directly scared to death, Zhuang Rui does not have the courage to try such an exciting thing again.
As Zhuang Rui paddled tiredly, the vague island in the distance gradually became clearer, but the sun set in the west, and the mist slowly rose on the sea, and the entire island was shrouded in mist, full of mystery.
"There are still 500 meters to ......"
Zhuang Rui used his aura and could already see the white sand, which made him almost burst into tears, floating in the sea for nearly 20 hours, Zhuang Rui only felt that his whole body seemed to be swollen.
This sea is not very deep, only about twenty or thirty meters, like the sea turtles and those large marine fish with strange wings that I saw just now, have disappeared, and only some relatively small fish come in and out of various coral reefs.
The sun slowly set towards the sea level, and at this time the calm sea made waves again, a small wave, so that Zhuang Rui swam extremely difficult, often swimming out of several meters, was hit back by a wave.
"This will not work, you have to dive into the sea to ......"
Zhuang Rui felt that the direction of the sea water had changed, and it seemed that the tide was now beginning to recede, and the waves were unpredictable, which was also the harbinger of the sea before the tide receded.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Rui plunged into the seawater, and dived in the direction of the coast, and the sea under the surface of the sea was relatively calm.
Swimming dozens of meters in one breath, it was not until his chest was about to explode that Zhuang Rui poked out of the water and took a deep breath of air.
Such continuous diving made Zhuang Rui closer and closer to the island, and looking at the tall coconut trees not far from the coast, Zhuang Rui suddenly burst into tears with excitement.
"There's a coconut, and even if there's no water, it's fucking thirsty. ”
However, when Zhuang Rui was still thirty or forty meters away from the island, he felt that the sea water behind him suddenly emitted a huge suction, pulling his whole person back more than twenty meters.
"The sea is going to go out......"
Zhuang Rui reacted suddenly, which made him tremble, this kind of suction was not something he could resist at all.
Seeing that the island was gradually becoming remote, just when Zhuang Rui was almost in despair, suddenly a big wave hit, but it pushed Zhuang Rui to the shore for more than 20 meters.
"Paralyzed, play with me?"
Zhuang Rui was surprised and delighted, took a sharp breath, dived into the water, and rowed to the shore desperately, he only prayed that the sea would recede for a few minutes later, as long as he could step on the beach, he would be able to escape the catastrophe.
The ebb tide of the sea is not as rapid as the river, but there is a process, at this stage, the waves on the seashore will become very large, they will sweep away all the creatures on the shore, pulling them to the bottom of the sea.
But Zhuang Rui is fortunate that around this island, there are many reefs everywhere.
These reefs changed the direction of the sea, and even at low tide, it became gentler, which gave Zhuang Rui a ray of life.
