Chapter 37 The cycle of life and death continues
There are no clouds in the sky, the magnificent sea is also rarely calm, the waning moon that rises quietly spreads the gentle silver light to the world, under the many twinkling stars, the sleeping sea is reflected into a silver jade plate, a little blue light is flickering and flickering, a fascinating scenery.
The weather was the right time for sailing, and many sailors were praying for such a peaceful voyage every day, after all, the storm was too much of a threat to the ship.
However, this is not good news for Lu Li, and it can even be said to be desperate news.
The tide is rising.
As the tide rises, an island in the sea is about to be submerged. The rising tide flooded the steep reef and swallowed everything on the island into the sea.
No, there's something left.
......
It's been a month, and everything I can eat is clean. If it weren't for the flesh and blood of the fish under the reef, I am afraid that it would not have been able to support it a long time ago.
Unfortunately, there is always a time when the fish is finished.
It's really unwilling to die like this!
Pursing his lips that were chapped by the sun, Lu Li thought so.
Relying on his strong abilities, he thinks that with these abilities, he can travel all over the world and dominate the world.
I really underestimate this sea!
Unexpectedly, soon after going to sea, he encountered a great storm that is rare in a hundred years, and the ship he was riding was overturned in an instant, if he hadn't hugged a section of the deck before falling, because Lu Li, who had turned into a landlubber with the devil fruit, would have died long ago.
Luckily for all, the land drifted to this island with torrential rain and rolling waves, no, it wasn't even an island, just a reef that cropped out at low tide. Even when the low tide area is the largest, the entire island is only a few dozen square meters in size. And if Zhang Chao is left with only one person curled up.
Relying on catching an unknown two-finger-wide fish under the reef at low tide, with the help of that little flesh and blood, Lu Li survived for more than half a month.
But the fish always run out, and as early as a week ago, these cute little fish were eaten by Lu Li. So now he's in a bad situation.
Curled up on the reef to avoid the salty and wet water, Lu Li licked his chapped lips, and looked at the dark night sky with blank eyes, it hadn't rained for a week, and if it didn't rain again, even if there was a [Chosen Son] who continued to prolong his life, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold on, after all, the body has a real limit.
He casually stretched out his right hand, whose skin was cracked by the daytime sun, and gently drew a horizontal line on the reef like a steel knife cutting through tofu, recording how long he had been holding on to the isolated island.
"Are you really going to die?"
Feeling the feeling of decay coming from all over his body, Lu Li said to himself. But I still have a lot of good times to go by, a lot of beautiful world I haven't enjoyed, and the most important thing is that I haven't returned to Earth to see my parents again.
"I really don't want to die!"
Struggling to sit up, leaning on the deck that had been stuck in the reef when he first arrived on the island, Lu Li forced himself to fall into a dream, to rest well at night and then look for food during the day.
The thick darkness once again shrouded him, and a faintly glowing winding path reappeared in front of Lu Li's eyes.
Continuing along the path, the strange dead tree reappeared in front of Lu Li's eyes. However, this time the dead tree is bleak compared to the last time, and there is only a half-built wooden frame at the foot of the dead tree, and the font on the wooden frame is also blurred, but it is still vaguely clear:
[I want to compare with the heavens], heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs. The sudden storm brings you to the brink of death, and what kind of response will you bring when you are so close to death for the first time?
Need: Hold on until you are rescued.
Reward: [True Colors of Heroes I.] (unattainable requirements, not claimable), being able to bravely face the threat of death, not fearing, not flinching, and defeating death with a strong mind gives you a unique qualification, which is your first step towards becoming a hero.
If a man can be at peace in the face of such a disaster, then he must be far beyond [calm] and reach a state where he will not be afraid in the face of any difficulties.
Gently wiping the blurred handwriting, looking at the intact hands in the dream, Lu Li quietly clenched his fists, "Want to compete with Tiangong?" Then let me live well, and see how I can win the world! ”
The forty-third day of exile on a desert island.
The days of calm and despair took a turn when a three-day torrential downpour hit the deserted island.
Lu Li dug a large hole in the reef with his hands, and let the rain fill the hole, at the cost of not having a place to lie down and rest from now on.
The forty-eighth day of exile on a desert island.
Lu Li experienced despair again. A huge wave rolled up, and the salty and wet sea water mixed with the muddy and half-half rain, and after holding back his thirst, Lu Li cleared all the water. When mixed with seawater, the rain can no longer be drunk, and the water with too much salt will rob him of water faster, not only will not quench his thirst, but will hasten his death.
The fifty-fourth day of exile on a desert island.
A vulture eating a rotting corpse hovers over the land. The emaciated skeleton creature in front of him still exuded a terrifying aura, as if it had met a natural predator, and the vulture prowler did not dare to approach.
Lu Li was afraid that the vulture would leave, so he tried hard to suppress his breath, as if he had comprehended something, Lu Li's sense of danger disappeared at once, and the vulture who felt safe fell, renewing Lu Li's life for a little longer.
However, the virus carried by the vulture made Lu Li's weakened body even more damaged, and the next few timely rains only improved his condition a little, but it did not bring better news.
The fifty-eighth day of exile on a desert island.
The aura scattered around the reef frightened all the birds into not daring to approach, and Lu Li, who had barely regained a little mobility, fell into trouble again. He could only lie down quietly and use the advanced ability "Life Return" of the technique taught to him by Daniel that he had learned not long ago, and once again stabilize the breath of life.
I don't know how many days have passed since I was stranded on a desert island.
As early as many days ago, Lu Li no longer had the strength to act, black hair like weeds grew on his originally bare head, and only bones and skin remained on his torso, and his blurred eyes showed that Lu Li's consciousness had been completely lost, and these few thoughts were floating sporadically in his muddy mind, persistence, perseverance, can't persevere, live, water, live.
The sky darkened, the dazzling sunlight suddenly disappeared, and the slender figure in front of him looked condescendingly at this fragile human.
