Chapter 119: Coming Again?
It was impossible to do it in two weeks, and in half a day, Ethan was sure that this was not his 'birthplace' back then.
Looking at the two or three meters high waves around him, the strong winds that almost tossed him off the boat into the sea - when he first started sailing, he would not have encountered such bad sea conditions, giving him plenty of time to adapt.
Now that he had become an old captain, his strong physique and all kinds of magical spells were gone, and he only had a small boat at hand that was stronger than a sampan.
"Is this Tower of Babel still a test of luck?"
The unlucky man directly overturned the boat with a big wave, and even if he was lucky enough to survive the storm, without the boat, food and water, it seemed that he could only wait for death in the vast sea.
Fortunately, Ethan's luck has always been good, the boat survived the wind and waves, and even the supplies on board were not lost due to the wind and waves.
When the storm passed, Ethan collapsed directly in the boat, tired and hungry, but he could not think of eating at all except to drink a large sip of water to replenish his water.
Before he knew it, Ethan was asleep, and when he woke up again, he was almost a little uncomfortable with the trance of waking up from his slumber, and lay there stunned for a while before he realized his current condition.
Sitting up, Ethan felt the soreness coming from all over his body, which was the sequelae of excessive exercise, as well as some side effects caused by sleeping in uncomfortable places, after all, no matter how good the environment was, his body was no longer very adaptable to such a harsh living environment.
Looking around, Ethan even climbed to the top of the mast to see as far as he could.
He didn't expect to be able to see land, he wanted to see if he could see the change in the color of the water—the color of the water could tell how deep the water was, and if he could see the turquoise sea, then he would have a good chance of finding land if he sailed in that direction.
It's a pity that all sides are almost the same, and in this case, he can only find a random direction to move forward, and strictly control the use of diet and water.
"It's time to show the technology. ”
Ethan collected all kinds of knowledge back then, and he kept reading books when he had nothing to do, and those books were not read in vain!
Compared to back then, he now has enough knowledge in his head, so he is not worried about the current situation.
In addition to the extremely bad weather depends on luck, ordinary problems such as food and water have become trivial.
In the days that followed, Ethan didn't encounter bad weather again, the waves were at the level that the boat could bear, and Ethan was also trying to cultivate, although the mental power didn't react at all, and the magic power or anything else couldn't be felt at all, but he would find time to meditate every day, even if it seemed like he was doing useless work.
Ten days passed in a flash, and Ethan noticed that the color of the sea ahead had changed, and then he soon discovered a small island.
"I finally saw the land. ”
Although the consumption of food and water is not much, Ethan has controlled the rate of consumption well, but it has not been replenished, which will cause pressure on the mental level, and more importantly, it is too dangerous for such a small broken ship to sail on the vast sea, if possible, Ethan would like to strengthen or rebuild the small boat.
Don't expect a small boat to become a big ship directly, at least it can be more stable - on the sea, stability is overwhelming!
At this time, it is really a happy thing to be able to discover the island, especially the island is full of trees, and in his style, he can live directly on the island and build a big ship and set off.
"If you are not fully prepared, you will never flash people!"
Ethan was such a character, so after dragging the boat to the beach and making sure that it would not be swept away by the waves due to the sudden high tide, Ethan began to observe the island in the field.
He didn't go far before he spotted a couple of pheasants at the edge of the woods...... Anyway, this thing looks like a pheasant.
"There's meat to eat!"
Ethan cautiously approached, and found that these pheasants were not afraid of people at all, it seemed that this was a desert island that no one had ever visited, and these pheasants were not vigilant at all...... Yes......
Thinking so, the pheasants suddenly attacked Ethan.
“?”
Although he was surprised that these pheasants were so aggressive, Ethan's body still responded in time, slightly sideways to avoid the surprise attack of a pheasant that almost flew up, and then raised his arm and smashed the pheasant that was killing him head-on to the ground.
Ethan's arm used enough strength, but he found that the pheasant on the ground not only did not look injured, but immediately got up again, and then quickly pecked at Ethan's foot.
He kicked the pheasant and tried to kick it away, but Ethan's foot collided with the chicken's beak solidly, and Ethan felt as if his foot had been pierced by a steel cone, and he almost shrunk into a ball of pain.
"I can't even beat a pheasant?"
Seeing that his center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall, Ethan was ruthless, and fell directly on the pheasant, and at the same time, his arm was horizontal, aiming at the pheasant's neck and pressing it directly.
This time it finally had an effect, and with his own weight and gravity, Ethan finally broke the pheasant's neck and killed the pheasant.
However, the danger was not cleared, Ethan fell to the ground and immediately rolled to the side, and by the corner of his eye he found that three pheasants pounced at once, and the beak of the chickens pecked directly into the ground was pierced a hole.
“......”
He doesn't have to look at the top of his feet now, and it's good that he hasn't been pierced directly.
Just as he was about to get up and see what weapons were available around him, it seemed as if the other pheasants had noticed the death of their companions, and they suddenly let out a chirp, and then fled in all directions, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Ethan was sure that the pheasants had indeed run, so he let out a sigh of relief, and then looked down to check his feet.
"It's good that it's just a flesh wound. ”
The wound wasn't deep, maybe it had something to do with Ethan kicking it with all his might at the time, or maybe he was in pain and he was able to close his foot quickly enough?
Either way, it wasn't too bad, Ethan picked up the pheasant's carcass, then broke a stick from a nearby tree as a weapon, and simply wrapped the wound with leaves, and continued to explore the island.
After estimating that the time was almost up, he began to return the way he came, back to the place where the boat was, and camped.
In the days that followed, Ethan settled on the island.
From the simple tent at the beginning, to the wooden hut that was slowly erected, Ethan explored the island little by little.
Knowing that there was enough life on the island, which meant enough food, his next focus was to find fresh water.
He also found the highest point on the island and looked into the distance, trying to see what was going on around him and determine what he should do next.
Everything was going in order, and with the exception of not seeing any living people, Ethan felt that things were going well.
By the time three months had passed, Ethan had not only explored the island thoroughly, but even strengthened his boat and replenished it with enough food and water before heading in the direction that had already been locked—there seemed to be an island in that direction.
In this way, Ethan sailed island by island, and during this period, he still did not give up his cultivation, even if it had been three years, his spiritual power still did not move at all.
As if everything was just an illusory dream, he was actually an ordinary person, and his life was like this, sailing non-stop on the sea, looking for island after island for the next meal?
"Is that really a dream?"
More than once, such questions would pop up in his heart, and his past experience seemed to be gradually becoming blurred.
"That's not a good sign......"
If this continues, Ethan feels that sooner or later he will forget his past experience, and that it is all just an illusory dream or his own delusion. What he can do now is to continue to cultivate hard, and strive to regain control of his spiritual power as soon as possible, maybe then he can resist this 'spiritual attack' that came out of nowhere.
Time is still passing, the spiritual power still has no reaction, and a few years have passed in a blink of an eye, Ethan finds that many memories of the past have become more and more blurred, and even the cultivation method of spiritual power is no longer clear - he has tried to write down the cultivation method, but the object that records the cultivation method will soon be missing, and he will not be able to find it anyway.
"Something must be wrong. ”
Coming to an island again, Ethan didn't rush to find anything or survey the whole island, but sat quietly on the beach and thought.
"Maybe it was a mistake from the start?"
Many of his memories have been blurred, and sometimes he sits there thinking for a long time and has a hard time remembering the details, just remembering that he wants to 'become stronger'.
Sorting through what he could still think of, Ethan felt as if he had overlooked something.
"Getting stronger...... Getting stronger?"
He vaguely remembered some of his past memories.
"I used to be strong?"
Ethan suddenly thought of something.
"Since I used to be strong, shouldn't what I have to do to get back the power I once had?"
The thought came together, as if the blocked water pipe had been reopened, and Ethan finally realized what he had done wrong.
"I see!"
After thinking of this, Ethan did not continue sailing, but quietly 'cultivated' on the island, just to regain his strength, and held on for a whole year, feeling something slightly shaking in his chest, and at the same time, a staircase leading to the sky appeared in front of him out of thin air.
