Chapter 234: Departure
Today, the sky above the island is clear, there are a few white clouds floating leisurely, the sea is still as calm as ever, and the gentle sea breeze gives people a tranquil enjoyment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Lin Zifeng's expression was a little serious at the moment, and he saw that the simple sail he had made was showing that the sea breeze was blowing in the southeast direction.
"Nana, are you ready?" Loading all the prepared wild boar and fresh water onto the wooden boat, Lin Zifeng looked up and asked.
Anna looked back at the beautiful island behind her, and according to Lin Zifeng, they had been living on the island for almost a year. Maybe a year is a long time for a human being, but for Anna it's just a snap of a finger.
If she was not ready, Anna felt that one year of preparation was far from enough, and if there was no appearance of the turtle immortals, she felt that ten or eight years of living on the island would not be too much. That way, she may have more courage to face her decision to reveal her mermaid identity.
"I..." Anna's eyes were full of reluctance, she didn't expect the day to leave the island to come so soon, maybe there will never be a place like now, where Lin Zifeng can enjoy the beautiful scenery and allow herself to enter the sea at any time.
During her time on the island, Anna would often sneak out of the cave to the pool outside the cave or jump straight into the sea for a swim. However, Anna chose to do so when Lin Zifeng was asleep, so he has not discovered the secret of his identity so far.
Now that she was leaving the island to return to human society, Anna felt that it would be difficult for her to find an opportunity to swim under the sea again.
"Brother Feng, why don't we leave after a while?" After thinking for a while, Anna said with a begging look.
Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly, in fact, his wooden boat was ready half a month ago, when he proposed to leave the island, Anna said that she was reluctant to be here and wanted to live for a while before leaving. Lin Zifeng had to delay for another half a month, but he didn't expect that when he decided to leave today, Anna couldn't be ruthless again.
Of course, Lin Zifeng didn't want to force Anna, but there were not many islands in the surrounding sea, and after a few months, the turtle immortals would find their heads one day. If you don't leave sooner, I'm afraid there will be even more unpredictable consequences.
"Nana, if we don't leave today, the Turtle Immortal may find us," Lin Zifeng said solemnly.
At the mention of the Turtle Immortal, Anna's eyes immediately became resolute, she took one last look at the direction of the island and the dragon's lair, and finally stepped onto the wooden boat supported by Lin Zifeng.
The wooden boat, which took Lin Zifeng three months to build, was about four meters wide and more than six meters long, enough for Lin Zifeng and Anna to sit side by side.
Due to the limited tools that Lin Zifeng could use, although this wooden boat took a long time, it was the easiest way to make it, and it looked somewhat similar to a bamboo raft on the outside, except that instead of bamboo, it was made of wood.
Lin Zifeng adjusted the direction of the sail, and then used a wooden stick in his hand to prop the wooden boat off the shore, and the continuous southeast sea breeze began to slowly carry the two people away from the island.
Lin Zifeng didn't prepare oars or anything like that, because he only planned to rely on the wind of the sea breeze to bring the wooden boat back to the human world, if he had to rely on manpower to row on the sea, not to mention whether Lin Zifeng had so much physical strength, the huge consumption brought by rowing every day would probably soon cause a shortage of food they prepared.
When the time comes, it will not be cost-effective to have not returned to human society, but to starve above the sea. After Lin Zifeng saw that the wooden boat already had the momentum to move forward, he put down the wooden stick and sat side by side beside Anna. He noticed that Anna's eyes were looking at the island farther and farther ahead, and her expression was full of reluctance, and it was obvious that Anna loved this place.
Lin Zifeng put his hand on Anna's shoulder, and looked at the island in front of him with her, unknowingly he had lived on this island for nearly a year. I think that when I first set foot on the island, I and Anna were very unfamiliar with everything around us, and we didn't even dare to eat the fruits on the island. Now Lin Zifeng can almost make out the road in and out of the cave from the island with his eyes closed, as well as the mysterious cave where they have lived for a year, no matter whether it is windy or rainy outside, whether it is spring or summer, the temperature inside the cave is the same all year round.
This solved a lot of trouble for Lin Zifeng, even in the cold winter, or when the cold wave came, he had never been frozen in the cave. The waterhole in the cave would be filled with water every other month, and then Lin Zifeng's body showed signs of fever several times, but the symptoms were not as serious as the first time, and when Lin Zifeng jumped into the waterhole in time, his body temperature quickly returned to a normal level.
According to Anna, that pool was dug out by Qinglong for his cultivation, and Qinglong would also have a sharp increase in body temperature when he was cultivating, so he would prepare such a pool of cold water in his cave.
Anna said the truth, and it sounded reasonable, which seemed to make Lin Zifeng really imagine what Qinglong was cultivating inside. Once Qinglong's body heats up, does it also need to evaporate the entire pool of water?
After so many things, and the influence that Anna had on him, Lin Zifeng felt that he was indeed becoming more and more like a dragon.
More and more unimaginable things happened to his body, such as breathing in the sea through scales, such as a single heat of the body that can evaporate the entire pool of water, and such as the pair of blood-red eyes that he inadvertently saw.
Just half a month ago, when Lin Zifeng was washing by the cave pool, through the reflection of the water surface, he suddenly found that his eyes did not have pupils and whites, but a whole area of blood red. There was a slender black shadow embedded in the eyeball, and there were some stars scattered around the black shadow, which looked like a pair of mutated pupils.
Lin Zifeng was really startled when he saw it for the first time, he looked at the water for a long time, until he confirmed that it was indeed his own eyes, and then he sat down next to him with a chill down his spine.
Lin Zifeng didn't know what his eyes looked like, anyway, they definitely weren't what humans would have, if he had to come up with a possibility, then it seemed that it might really be a dragon.
Fortunately, after Lin Zifeng calmed down his mood, he found that those blood-red eyes were the same as the scales that appeared on his arms, and they could be freely controlled with his thoughts. As long as Lin Zifeng channeled the heat flow around his eyes back into his body, his eyes would change back to their original appearance.
After discovering this secret, Lin Zifeng's heart was greatly relieved, if he had such a pair of strange eyes every day, I am afraid that he would not be able to see people in the future, but fortunately, he was not seen by Anna now.
Lin Zifeng retracted his thoughts, the wooden boat under his feet had just left the island about fifty meters, and suddenly a strong wind from the northwest blew, completely changing the direction of the wooden boat, and actually dragged the two of them to approach the island in front of them again.
