Chapter 14: The Little Garden

"Ahem."

On the deck, Jerle looked at the man in front of him who was panting on his back, very helpless.

I really don't know what kind of luck he has been taking recently, but he can always meet some survivors of shipwrecks.

"Thanks... Thank you for saving me. ”

The man had regained some strength and was leaning against the side of the boat. The wet hair, disorganized, looks very embarrassed.

Jerle gave Xia Qi a look, and Xia Qi understood, turned around and went back to the cabin.

After a while, he took a hot towel and some food and handed it to the man.

At this moment, through the conversation with the man, Jer had a general understanding of the man's situation.

The man's name was Worm, and he was a businessman. Some time ago, I went to sea to do business, and unfortunately met pirates. The entire ship was slaughtered and the cargo was taken.

Worm was the only one who escaped by lifeboat. However, in the process of being pursued by pirates, he encountered a storm again, and was finally rescued by Jer.

After taking food and hot water, Worm's condition was much better, his face was no longer pale, and gradually began to be rosy.

"Mr. Jer, if you can, please drop me off on the next island, and I'll find a way to get a boat."

Jair nodded, the place where Worm was going was not on their way, and it was already a good thing to give him a ride. Now that Worm has taken the initiative to bring it up, it has avoided some unnecessary embarrassment.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Over the course of three days, Jerle and Worm talked a lot. Although Worm is a businessman, he is very accomplished in flowers and plants, and a lot of knowledge has opened up Jermouth.

Especially in the aspect of ripening flowers and plants, as well as the development of flowers and plants, Jair has benefited a lot.

"Mr. Jer, I see the island!"

Worm excitedly ran in from outside the cabin.

Jerle was a little amused, and reluctantly put the potted plant in his hand aside.

"Huh? Mr. Jer, your bonsai is growing well, why is it that it has only been a few days, and it is already so big. ”

Jerle gave him a blank look.

Nonsense, can it not be big?

These days, relying on the knowledge that Worm has told him, he is constantly experimenting with the ability to produce fruit on this potted plant. Even if most of the effects are suppressed, it is normal for them to grow significantly.

However, at the moment, Jeer had no intention of dwelling on this issue, so he had to change the topic and said.

"Okay, you won't have to worry about the bonsai, let's hurry up to the island. Save you from being so anxious that you can't sleep at night, get a boat early for you to leave, and you will be at ease sooner. ”

"Haha, Mr. Jer, what are you saying that you wish I could leave quickly?"

Jerle spread his hands.

"I don't care, if you're not in a hurry, you can follow us to the next island."

Worm blushed, looked at Jer's with a smile in his eyes, and said hesitantly.

"I... I still won't bother Mr. Jerre. ”

"Hahaha, you!"

Approaching the island, Jerle and the others saw the island's appearance clearly. With just one glance, Worm smiled wryly.

Lush jungle, so dense that there is no light at all. As far as the eye can see, you can see towering ancient trees everywhere.

All kinds of unknown gorgeous flowers, like welcome girls, bloom on the shore. Even the cliffs that connect with the sea are covered with thick vines, and there is not the slightest trace of man-made carving.

What kind of feeling is this, for Jer, it's like going back to the Jurassic era from modern society all at once.

"Do you want to go to the island?"

Jair touched Vorm's shoulder, and Worm sighed, even though his face was already like a bitter melon.

"Come on, it doesn't matter if there are many trees, at least there are raw materials for shipbuilding. I really couldn't do it, so I had to build a simple raft and go back. ”

Jer nodded, didn't say anything, greeted Xia Qi, and the three of them went to the island.

Step into the jungle and you'll be greeted by the wetness of the rainforest. The insects are constantly chirping everywhere, which makes people a little restless.

Because of the size of the canopy, when the sunlight shines through the canopy and scatters on the ground, it is only the size of a thumb. Mixed with those gorgeous flowers and fallen leaves, it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Jerle was at the forefront, occasionally slashing through the bushes that stood in his way with the dragon's fangs, carving out a path to walk on. The path lasted for a few minutes, and then it was covered by trees that were leaning from behind, and it was impossible to see the slightest trace of walking.

After walking for a few hours, my vision finally broadened. In front of him was a wide clearing, and compared to the dense jungle behind him, it was like two worlds.

"Miss Chargie, Worm, take a break. It's not early, so it's not a good time to move on. It has a great view and should be a good choice as a campsite. ”

Worm nodded, put the package on his back aside, and said.

"Then, Mr. Jer, I'll go get some dry firewood."

Jair replied lightly.

"Go ahead and be safe."

These days of research have allowed Jer's ability to manipulate the fruits to a higher level. With the help of the ability to produce fruits, a simple wooden house was soon formed in the clearing.

Night arrives as scheduled, and the sky above the clearing is full of stars.

The bonfire was burning, and the three of them sat around the bonfire, and the firelight reflected Jer's serious face, which made Xia Qi a little worried.

"Mr. Jer, since you went to the island, you have frowned, is there anything wrong."

Hearing Xia Qi's words, Vorm also cast his gaze.

Jerle threw the branch in his hand into the fire.

"I don't know, it's just a little bit of a bad feeling. It stands to reason that in such a dense jungle, all kinds of birds and animals should be very common. However, as you can see, it is very unusual that we have been on the island for so long and have not encountered a single animal that is really threatening. ”

Xia Qi frowned, thoughtful, but Worm on the side asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Jer, isn't it safe to be safe?"

"It's not that safety isn't good, it's that in the current situation, we can't be sure if we're really safe, or if we're in danger and don't know it."

As if seeing the solemn expressions of the two, Jer's softened up a little.

"Alright, no matter what, don't worry too much. I am in charge of the vigil tonight, so go and rest. ”

Worm wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Qi's eyes, he stopped talking again, followed Xia Qi to say goodnight to Jer, and left.

The temperature cooled down with the depth of the night, and with the moisture in the air, it was unusually cold.

Jerle clenched the dragon's fangs, looking at the blazing bonfire in front of him, his brow furrowed.

Strange, is it really thinking too much? It's close to the second half of the night, why is there no movement at all?

"Boom!"

A loud roar descended without warning, and without waiting for Jer's reminder, Xia Qi and Worm had already run out of the room.

"Mr. Jer, what's going on?!"

Jer didn't speak, looking at the horizon, barely making out a glimmer of fire.

"Volcanic eruption?"

"Aha, Dongli! Let's have a good time today! Hahaha! ”

A deafening loud sound was heard, and the entire ground rose into the air.

"Damn! Catch me! ”

With a hideous face, Jerle grabbed Xia Qi and Wurm and jumped down from the air, and behind him was a giant axe wield...

Giant?
