220 Prophecy 1
220
When at sea, the sense of time is blurred, and even with the presence of the moon, most modern people still cannot determine time well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there are some special times that are clearer at sea, such as dawn.
In front of Zhang Xiao's side, in the darkness of the sea and sky, a round of red sun suddenly jumped out, and the sky suddenly brightened, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.
"Sunrise ......"
Zhang Xiao saw the rising sun and the sky bright, and was squinted by the light, only to realize that he had been flying with the Flame Eagle for a night.
Although the origin of the Flame Eagle is strange, and under the control of Zhang Xiao, there is no need to worry about consumption and rest, and it can fly all the time, but in terms of flight speed, it is still far from the flight speed of modern airliners, and it has not seen land after flying for a night...... Of course, it may also be that Zhang Xiaofei is biased.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao was lucky and did not fly off the wrong course.
Through the radiant morning sun, he finally saw a place that was not the ocean.
"That's ...... Island or continent? ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shape blocking the sun, and when he turned his head to take a closer look, he saw that it was the shape of a mountain peak.
There is no doubt that there is land there, but it is not known if it is an island or a continent.
With a twist of the Buddha's head knife in his hand, the flaming eagle screamed and flew towards it.
flew closer, the sun was higher, and Zhang Xiao finally saw clearly that it should be an island.
It's not surprising to think that the direction he flew was originally the direction in which he flew, that is, the last place he arrived at should be Neon Island.
In this case, it is not surprising that you will see islands on the way.
"It's not a big island."
After flying for a while, Zhang Xiao confirmed his guess, the island didn't look big, not much bigger than a park.
There is no noticeable tall vegetation on the island, and there is no water source in sight, so it is normal that it is uninhabited, as if it is just an uninhabited deserted island.
Zhang Xiao didn't dislike it, on the contrary, he was planning to go down and rest for a while, this no-man's land was just right for him to study the book of prophecy without being affected.
At the same time, the Flame Eagle also seemed to be unable to hold on, the flames that were already missing in its body had already drifted away, and its solid and intact body was even more fragmented, and it could collapse at any time.
- The Flame Eagle is not Zhang Xiao's summons, it can't last long, and being "squeezed" by him like this makes it have a short life.
But the closer he got to the island, the more Zhang Xiao could feel that the island was lifeless, although he could see a lot of aquatic plants near the coast, there were all kinds of algae on the island, and some traces of animals could be seen, but this island with no beach or forest always made Zhang Xiao feel strange dead silence.
This made him feel very bad, and he was a little hesitant to land.
But looking down at the Flame Eagle below him, seeing that it had become more and more disintegrated, Zhang Xiao frowned, feeling a little tricky.
Zhang Xiao noticed that there were other islands faintly visible at the end of his line of sight, but he was sure that the Flame Eagle would never fly there.
There was no way, Zhang Xiao could only control the Flame Eagle to fall towards the barren island.
It even ended up being thrilling......
Wow!!
"Ah......h
Puff -
Zhang Xiao overestimated the Flame Eagle, and when it was still a few hundred meters away from the island, the Flame Eagle screamed miserably, and then it burst into flames.
The scattered flames can no longer be controlled by Zhang Xiao, the Buddha's head knife is useless, and the smooth Zhang Xiao suddenly feels that he is in the furnace, and the next moment he will be burned by the flames.
This scared him into screaming.
Fortunately, at that time, the flight altitude was not high, and the flames had just risen, and Zhang Xiao, who had no place to stand, fell into the water to avoid being burned again.
Grunt.
The bubbles kept rising, proving that Zhang Xiao was not dead, the sea water was clear, and Zhang Xiao in the water could be clearly seen from above.
The water was very cold, and Zhang Xiao, who suddenly fell into the water, immediately regained consciousness, he did not panic, nor did he wait until his feet stepped on the bottom of the sea, although he only had one hand, he still tried his best to control his balance, and swam in the direction of the sea with buoyancy.
It's not easy, it's close to the shore of the island, where the waves are constantly rolling and colliding, making the water turbulent and changeable, and Zhang Xiao feels like he is in a drum washing machine, constantly turning in circles.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao's composure was not in vain, although the feeling of suffocation chased him, he never struggled, relying on cautious movements to finally let him regain his balance after eating several mouthfuls of seawater, and with a wave trough, he finally put his head out of the water.
"Ahem...... Whew, whew, "
Coughing twice, and gasping for breath twice, Zhang Xiao wiped the water on his face, and felt that he did not get better, but felt nauseous.
"Phew!"
He took several sips, still feeling the astringent smell of sea water raging in his mouth, the strange taste was really disgusting, not only salty, but also other strange tastes, and the thought of how much of this thing still entered his stomach made him want to vomit.
- In the sea before, with the feeling of suffocation, he subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater, and the salty seawater went down his throat into his stomach, making Zhang Xiao feel that his internal organs were distorted, and he was uncomfortable, and his body, which was already trembling because of the cold seawater, kept protesting.
It's a pity that he couldn't do anything at that time, and he had to stay calm and not let his body move in a panic because of fear.
It's not much better now, the sea water is still cold on a summer morning, and Zhang Xiao knows that he must swim to the island quickly, otherwise the cold sea water will continue to take away the temperature of the body, which will soon cause hypothermia.
If it is serious, it will even lead to confusion and fall into a coma, then it will be dead, and even if the cramps caused by the paralysis of the hands and feet in the early stage, Zhang Xiao feels that he can't bear it.
In the sea, paralysis of the hands and feet is no different from death, maybe it is better to die after a coma than to see yourself drowning, at least it is not so painful.
Enduring the pain of burning stomach, Zhang Xiao stretched his body and swam forward with every thrust of the wave, but every opposite wave would also drag Zhang Xiao backwards.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao was sure that he was not doing useless work, because he was close enough to the island here, and he could already see the island clearly, and after swimming for a while, he found that the island had become bigger and clearer.
This makes Zhang Xiao more motivated, and continuous swimming can also temporarily stimulate the strength of the body, and as the blood flow accelerates, it also makes Zhang Xiao feel less cold.
Although it is a little difficult to swim with one hand, Zhang Xiao is very happy in his heart, "Fortunately, I worked hard to learn to swim at that time, otherwise I would have died today." ”
Don't look at the fact that he only has one hand, and the sea and the pool are completely different concepts, but Zhang Xiao bets that his speed is still faster than the speed at which most non-professionals are useful in the pool.
Not to mention, his current move is not simple, and it is not something that can be learned by just looking at it.
His only remaining hand is not paddling, but only used to maintain balance, all of which are constantly moving together on both legs, using the butterfly leg stroke.
This action is very difficult, requiring the cooperation of the soles of the feet, calves, knees, thighs, crotch, and waist, and almost half of the people have to cooperate tacitly.
Although the movement is difficult, in the sea, this movement that balances speed and balance is very useful.
Finally, on the eve of Zhang Xiao's gradual stiffening and hypothermia, his hand touched the reef on the shore of the island.
He picked up a life.
