Chapter Twenty-Five: The Nameless Island
The winter sun seemed to have no temperature, and we swam to the shore shivering. Soaking wet, I can only find the back of the rocks and wring out my clothes, and then put them on, although it is still biting cold, at least it will not be wet and the body temperature will be difficult to dry.
Unfamiliar with the terrain, we decided to look north.
"Yes...... Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry......" the fat man asked tremblingly, his lips a little purple.
I shook my head, and Duanmu Qiankite spread her hands helplessly.
"Hey...... I finally escaped a catastrophe, and another catastrophe came. It's hard to be reincarnated by a starving ghost. The fat man muttered to himself, he was born as a scout, and naturally he would not let himself starve to death, and he grabbed the small worms crawling on the reef and swallowed them in one bite.
"You...... You're a savage. Duanmu Qiankite covered his mouth and vomited.
"It's rich in protein." The fat man grabbed an unknown insect with a shell and handed it to Duanmu Qianyu, she shook her head and glanced at the fat man, covered her mouth and ran away, squatting aside and retching loudly.
The fat man handed me the worm again, and I shook my head and said, "You...... Enjoy it for yourself. ”
"Boom" The fat man threw it into his mouth, and there was a crisp sound of biting the carapace.
The ground is uneven, potholes, and countless small gravel sands are sandwiched with no grass, and it is extremely difficult to walk, and even more so now I am tired and hungry.
Birds of different sizes occasionally fly overhead, chirping, and flying far away......
The roar of the ocean, the chirping of birds, seem to be moving and still competing with each other.
At the end of the ground, there is a precipitous promontory, and wave after wave of the tide frantically sweeps the rocks of the cape.
"It's probably all like this on the left and right, and we can only go backwards." The fat man stood on the steep boulder cliff of the cape and waved at us, like a general who has won a battle.
Rounding the cape, we already feel exhausted, but we still have to pick ourselves up and keep going.
I said, "Find shelter, food, and a fire before dark." "This should be an easy thing to solve in normal times, but here it is a luxury, just as the distance between a commoner and a luxury in a city is it.
"Maybe it's just a seabird habitat." Duanmu Qianyu's hoarse voice revealed a thick tiredness.
"Don't think too much, or we find a place to take refuge, or the night comes, and we freeze to death in this hellish place." The fat man was still grinning, but he was right.
The sunlight gradually disappeared at sea level, and a strange red appeared in the distant sky, red, purple, pink, maybe it is, or maybe it is neither, because the color of the sunset is so strange that it changes every second......
Pale colors, ethereal white mist gradually rising from the sea......
"Gurgling" I heard the sound of water flowing in my ears, and I happily hugged the Duanmu Qiankite next to me, and said loudly: "There is the sound of water flowing ahead, hahaha." Maybe it was too excited, too selfless, holding her and forgetting to let go.
"Bang" There was a huge pain in my lower abdomen, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and I squatted on the ground with my stomach in my arms and began to roll.
"You...... You....... Can you tap it. "If it weren't for the fact that my face is blue and scaly now, I guess my face would be purple.
"I'm sorry, but that's the lightest force I can control." Duanmu Chikite patted his knee.
Turning a steep cliff, a lush green landscape shrouded in mist as a stream descends from the cliff and flows slowly to the sea.
The fat man couldn't wait to run over, bent down and drank heavily, turned his head and laughed, "Yes...... Be...... It's fresh water. ”
I found a leeward place, natural rocks to block the wind and rain, found some dry wood, and lit a fire.
"Duanmu, you bake the fire first, and I'll find something to eat with the fat man." Duanmu, who was full of tiredness, nodded, it was true that she had exhausted all her energy on the hot air balloon, and the moment she relaxed down, she felt infinitely tired.
The gifts of the sea are always abundant, crabs, tamares, conches under the rocks of the cape......
In the silence of the night, the sky is unusually bright, the stars are shining, the sky seems to be right in front of you, the stars are palpable, and the city will never be able to see the stars so bright, so bright......
Overnight, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore in my ears, the sound from nature, made people feel happy, away from the noise of the city, and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a thick mist......
...... on the surface of the sea
Forest ......
Reef beach......
It's like being in a fairyland.
"It's beautiful." Duanmu Qiankite praised, after a night's rest, she is now a fighter full of vitality.
The fat man stretched, took a deep breath of fresh air, and sighed, "Today is a good day." ”
It is true that the fog will dissipate, and it is a kind of fog in a clear day, and the sun rising in the east, the abundant rays of sunlight, gradually heats up the fog, evaporates, spreads out in all directions, and the island gradually becomes clear.
In the distance, the trees on the top of the mountain are clear, and the sea level is in front of you......
"We're going to go to the top of the mountain to have a look, find out the direction, and find a way to inform Long Hao." Duanmu Qiankite straightened up his simple packing and pointed to the mountain peaks in the distance.
Step over jet-black rocks covered with fresh moss.
"Aren't these plants dying in winter?" I'm a little curious.
"Maybe the climate and temperature here are different." The fat man didn't want to answer casually.
All the way forward is some flowers and plants that have not been seen, still beautiful in the cold winter, a granite barrier in front of you, steep and towering, strange peaks and ridges undulating, like a dragon ready to fly.
Behind the rock face, there is lush greenery, and tall trees are connected one after another, extending out of view.
"Wait." Duanmu Chikite suddenly screamed, and we turned to look at her while he was studying the granite beside him.
"Duanmu, although granite is worth a little money, but if it is mined and transported back from here, the cost is too high to be cost-effective." I said.
"Shut up, is our family short of this money?" She didn't even lift her eyes, still studying the cratered rocks.
"Well, it seems to be too, it seems that your family is really not short of money, or give me and the fat man a billion or 800 million."
"Hehe, this is good, my fat man has never seen more than 10,000 dollars."
"You two shut up, have you noticed that this cliff was formed by the impact of the earth's crust, and there is a faint smell of sulfur, if there is no mistake, this should be a volcanic crater."
"No, if we happen to have a volcanic eruption, we're really dead." I was taken aback by Duanmu Chikite's words, although a volcanic eruption requires certain conditions, but I always felt that I was sitting on explosives and could explode at any time.
"Shut up, crow's mouth." The fat man couldn't help but scold.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and the sun was shining through the cracks in the cliffs, and a strange color appeared on the rocks, and the wind was blowing slowly, and it was bitterly cold.
"Hey, it's good to be able to contact Long Hao." I sighed and said.
