Chapter 442: Survival on a Desert Island
A huge pillar of dark clouds gradually appeared at sea level, not a volcano, but a volcanic group, a volcanic group of at least a dozen volcanoes, and thick smoke billowing from it. The adjusted raft was in the direction of the volcanic group, gradually drifting past, getting closer and closer, and the pungent smell of volcanic sulfur made Higg very familiar, which was the kind of breath before entering the sin sinkhole after the magic vortex of Shenlong Island came out.
Ocean currents seem to pass through the location of this huge volcanic island, which is bisected by the volcanic island. As they got closer and closer to the volcanic island, Higg and Lufasi even saw the lush forests on the island, and under such volcanic ash, the islands that could still have a city of forests showed that although these active volcanoes erupted all year round, they were already very stable, except for the bare gray-red mountains near the volcano, emitting white smoke, the rest of the place was green, and it was more beautiful and livable than the harsh environment of Shenlong Island.
After more than two hours, we approached the volcanic island. Due to the existence of volcanic islands, the ocean current is more rapid, and the raft cannot get close to the shore at all, only a few tens of meters from the shore, and it is just impossible to get across. Fortunately, Higg and Lufasi had already prepared to connect all the leather ropes made of seal skin and sea lion skin, and tied one end of the leather rope to Higg, and the other end to Lufasi and Sindorf, and finally tied to the raft. When the raft was about thirty meters away from the shore, Higg picked up Noah and moved instantly, and he reached the shore, quickly put Noah down, and wanted to find a rock to tie the leather rope immediately, but the raft was too fast, and Higg, who was tied to the rope, was suddenly pulled by the rope and fell to the ground, and Hig desperately clung to the stone on the shore.
However, Lufasi and Sindorf and a raft drifted too fast with the current, and Higg was dragged all the way to the shore, but fortunately Lufasi cut the rope that tied the raft with his sword in time to reduce the weight, and Higg was able to hold on to the last reef and pull the two up from the water.
Under the tremendous power of nature, it makes people feel how small they are, and it is so difficult to keep a raft, but fortunately, the four of them finally came ashore and came to this strange volcanic island. Following the battleship of Shenlong Island to float on the sea for more than a month, and drifting on the raft for ten days, I finally saw the land again, and the feeling of being down-to-earth was so good!
Unaware of the situation on the island, Higg and Lufasi first set up Noah and Sindorf in a cave by the sea, and although it was a little damp near the sea, what difficulties could not be overcome for those who had been floating on the raft for ten days?
Higg asked Lufasi to stay and take care of the two of them, and explore the strange place on his own, in case there were any large beasts or dangers in some location.
This island is really two heavens of ice and fire, the icy ocean current flows through the island, the island is tightly surrounded, the place near the coast appears to be cold, and near the volcano, due to the volcanic eruption, the hot volcanic impurities erupt into the air and fall to the mountains near the volcano, or occasionally there are lava flows out and flowing, so that the mountains of more than a dozen volcanoes are bare without a trace of life, and some of the gray-red mountains are still leaking with hot white smoke, and there are hot springs and hot springs under the mountains. Therefore, the place close to the mountain is very hot.
This volcanic vegetation covers and forms a stable balance, which has long been a wonder of a volcanic island, from the coast to the zone between the volcanic groups, the vegetation is ever-changing, from the coniferous trees of the alpine zone to the tropical rainforest near the volcanic mountain, and even near the volcanic mountain, there are low bush eyes, grass eyes, people have to sigh the tenacity of these lives.
Higg turned around for more than an hour, and did not find any large animals, even the species of insects are very few, most of the creatures on the island are migratory birds, probably because the island is far away from the mainland, plant seeds can drift with the sea breeze, and the land creatures are difficult to reach for a while, which will cause the single reason for the animals on the island.
Carrying two unknown seabirds the size of a domestic chicken and a few eggs back to the cave by the sea, Lu Fasi had already lit a fire in the cave to dispel the cold, humidity and mosquitoes in the cave.
"This is a nice place, it looks like we're going to stay here forever!" Hilger smiled while skillfully skinning and gutting seabirds, "It's far from the mainland, so it's quiet and less troublesome!" ”
"Hmph, I can't help it!" Lufasi scoffed, "I don't care, for me as a down-and-out angel, I am so poor that I only have time left!" What about your revival city, your Fifth Legion, and your women, your children? Do you plan to live here for the rest of your life? ”
"So what else?" Higg also laughed at himself, "If Noah and Sindorf can wake up, maybe there will be a way!" Without big ships, even if we build rafts that are re-played, it is impossible to get rid of the ocean currents, and there are no conditions and no fuel to build hot air balloons. Sindorf is now seriously injured and unconscious, let alone taking us away, it's good to be alive, can you expect him to take us away? Besides, where is this place, and in which direction can you go back to the mainland? We've been lost in the sea for too long! As he spoke, the two seabirds had been completely processed by Higg with speed.
"You don't have the pride you had when you first met me!" Lufasi glanced up at Higg and said, "At that time, you were full of confidence, even if you were trapped in the angel cage, you were not discouraged, you made a bet with me, and won me, how about it, this time, let's bet again?" ”
"How to bet?" Higg asked, surprised.
"Bet we'll get out of here!" Lufa said as he took out a stone that had been burned through by his own little red and lifted it out with his sword, and the stone had been cut off from the center with his prophetic sword to make a stone trough, and then he poured all the water from another stone trough filled with water next to him into the red stone trough, and the water that had been poured into it met the hot stone, and immediately boiled violently, and then threw the two seabirds and eggs that Higg had processed into the boiling water, and in less than a while, the thick broth gave off an attractive aroma, Even Lu Faxi, who does not eat fireworks in the world, felt unbearable hunger in his belly, "I won, you give me back my freedom!" ”
"Hehe, although you lost to me back then, when did I restrict your freedom? What if you lose? Higg laughed, "What's the point of it if you don't get out of here for ten or twenty years?" If I win, it means that we can't leave, and my win actually means that we all lose. If I win, I lose, we can leave, which is equivalent to me winning; This gamble makes no sense at all! Besides, if you lose, what else can you lose to me? ”
"I'm not going to lose!" Lufasi smiled and said, "You don't dare to bet? As you said, if you really can't get out, of course it doesn't matter if you win or lose. I lost, there is nothing for you, because you also lost, even lost your life, what more to bet? Your life is gone, and you still don't dare to gamble? ”
Higg asked, "Tell me first, why am I doing such a pointless gamble with you?" ”
"Because our boring days are about to begin!" Lu Faxi smiled, "Back in the angel cage, I was bored talking to you and was sealed by you, and now I'm bored again, but I don't want you to say that I'm annoying, it's more interesting to bet, is this reason okay?" ”
"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Higg picked up Noah, fed him broth, and asked, "Now you can talk about it, how do you get back to the mainland?" ”
"I don't know how to go back!" Lu Faxi picked up another bamboo tube, picked up Sindorf, and also fed him broth, and said with a smile, "It's you who want to go back, not me, of course you think of a way, hehe!" ”
"You're kidding me?" Higg almost burst into anger and said, "Hehe, in order for you to win and let me lose, I have to do everything I can to return to the mainland by all means, I'm really cheap!" ”
"There is your desire to return to the mainland, as well as your atmospheric luck, Noah's atmospheric luck, I have no reason not to win!" Lufasi laughed and said, "Hahaha, you're not going to do nothing to make me lose, are you?" ”
"Well, from this point, you're halfway there!"
……
Although the animal resources on the island are few, the plant resources are many and diverse. A few days later, Higg and Lufasi moved out of the cave and moved to a small hill on the east side of the island, a few kilometers from the coast, where Higg built a large wooden house for four people, brought a hot spring to it, and built a watchtower from which they could look to the east side of the island, so that if any ships passed, they could spot it in time.
At first, Higg spends his days on the watchtower in a daze, but then he gradually loses patience, and when Noah and Sindorf wake up, he has more things to do, so he takes a break to go up and see, and he doesn't have much hope anyway.
On the shore of the island, there are many traces of shipwrecks or shipwrecked ships, indicating that there were ships that arrived here before, judging from the remains of shipwrecked ships, these ships arrived here too long ago, and it is not clear what age it is, so no one dares to be sure when there will be ships coming again, and even if there are ships coming again, will they hit the reef in the ocean current and cause shipwreck.
With this island, the recovery of Noah and Sindorf is much faster, at least no longer drink fishy fish soup every day, now there are seabirds, all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, bird eggs, fresh mushrooms, wild vegetables, mountain fruits, everything, this island is not small, there are caves everywhere, and fresh water can be obtained everywhere. The most important thing is that although Higg can't use magic to heal Sindorf, he can use herbs, and there is the encyclopedia Lufasi, who has turned almost all the places on the island, synthesized a variety of herbal formulas, and boiled and drank them for Sindorf, and Sindorf gradually recovered, at least he was able to stand up and walk around.
But in this deserted place on the island, this kind of fading bird days almost made Higg and Noah collapse, for the two of them, there is not as long a life as Lufasi and Sindorf, time is unfair to the two of them, they feel that every day they stay, they will feel that their lives are wasted and disappearing.
In order to pass the time, Higg practiced various magic methods whenever he had time, including the understanding of the Bagua Mirror, so that he could forget time, forget irritability, and abandon his troubles. cultivating his mind in loneliness and irritability has given him a lot of gains.
