Chapter 33: The Mysterious Island
The sleep of the three people is very light, but ordinary people who are overly thinking and preoccupied always have to live a little harder than others, which is nothing to do.
But because of this, when the sky was twilighting, and the turquoise water in the lake was separated by an invisible force, revealing a mysterious path, the three of them woke up together, although they were tired both mentally and physically, they still helped each other to get up from the grass.
It's good that they're all alive, that's the first thought that flashed through their minds, the vengeful panther didn't take the opportunity to attack last night, which can already be called a blessing from God.
Think about it, I don't know how many people who have come in before but have not been able to get out have fallen into the mouth of this damned black panther, and if it hadn't really tasted the taste of human flesh, how could it be so fascinated by the three little bugs?
In addition, there is a second thing that is worthy of the three of them to be happy for a while, that is, although Adam's face is still a little dark, obviously poisoned, but compared to yesterday, it is actually much better, which is probably due to the natural excellent physique of other people, but Gu Xuan injured his back twice, and now he has to rely on the support of the two people next to him to barely stand up, looking very embarrassed.
Adam's face was dark, but his lips were too white because of the extreme lack of water and the fact that he was very cold at night, and he looked at the path that appeared out of thin air in front of him, and his voice was as low as a mosquito, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving?"
Although Gu Xuan was the most seriously injured, the expression on his face looked the most relaxed, of course, he didn't want the two of them to worry, so he just pretended to be like this, and when he heard Adam's question, he said: "We have an ancient saying in the human race, called 'If you come, you will be safe', what can you do if you don't go, the three of us can't look at the road and not go, and die here, right? I think we can go, even if we wait for the lake to flow out of control, the three of us should die." β
Alan frowned slightly, and analyzed seriously: "I guess this road shouldn't appear for too long, if we want to go, then we can't delay, we have to be faster." β
The three of them nodded, made a quick decision, and then walked together from the shore up the gravel path at the bottom of the lake, with some small puddles remaining on it, and the most strange thing was that this path was really just a path, not a path for the rest of the world, but a path for their current size.
The lake was lined up by an invisible and magnificent force, and it was suspended and rolled beside it, and if you looked closely, you could even see that there were rippling aquatic plants and huge fish swimming inside, and there was no panic at all, and it seemed that even the creatures in the lake were accustomed to this.
The three of them walked quickly and quickly, even if their current physical condition actually did not allow them to do such a strenuous exercise at all, but considering the current situation, they had to walk as fast as possible, even if they were injured, there was no way.
But the most worrying thing did not happen after all, the lake did not collapse in the middle, but when they came to the end, and landed on a small island in front of them, the lake behind them collapsed and regrouped, and a few waves surged, and the initial calm was restored, as if it had just been done to welcome them.
The three of them were exhausted, and they lay on the wet beach without any image, while raising their eyes and trying to look at the surrounding environment, while adjusting their breathing with all their might, and slowly recovering their strength.
Gu Xuan was actually better, because he had eaten all the dry food that Eren had brought himself in the middle of the night last night, but now he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, not to mention the other two, and his stomach didn't stop screaming after he fell to the ground.
The island in front of them was a real island, even for their current size, so small that they could see their heads at a glance, so small that it might not take them more than three minutes to walk around.
The island is surrounded by lake water, the bottom part is not clear, but the surface of the water is so big a palm, and in the middle of the island there is a small hall with a strange shape, the whole body is pitch black, I don't know what material it is made of, I don't know which people's aesthetics, there is no door, the arched door frame is black inside, as if it can absorb the light, nothing can be seen clearly.
What surprised the three of them the most was that at the door of the small hall there was a big-bellied toad, as big as a calf, guarding the door, blocking most of the door, its skin was gray-black, and there were pimples on it, it was very disgusting to look at, a pair of black and white eyes were bulging, staring at the three of them.
Although this toad is much smaller than the black panther, the three of them did not take it lightly, after all, in this mysterious lost land, they encountered such a mysterious island, and even made this toad no longer ordinary.
"Three warriors from afar!" Unexpectedly, the toad suddenly spoke, only to see it jumping and beating its belly happily with both hands, as if beating gongs and drums, and shouted at the top of its voice, "Look at the three of you have been hungry for a long time, come and enjoy the feast!"
As soon as it finished speaking, a mouth, a long table first flew out of its bottomless mouth, and then all kinds of dishes gushed out, human race, earth race, spirit race, all spices, all kinds of flavors, only unexpected, there is no possibility that there is no here!
But all the food that appears in the sea realm is all here, and it has been cooked to the fullest color, aroma, and flavor, so that people will have an appetite just by smelling it, and they will never feel disgusting because they vomit it out of the stomach of a toad.
Gu Xuan just took a cursory look, and felt that just by looking at it, these dishes were even better than the palace cooks, but the three of them did not act rashly, to tell the truth, everything in front of them had subverted their basic understanding of the real world, if it weren't for the fact that the three of them were all determined and very human, I was afraid that they would even mistakenly think that they were in a dream.
Seeing that the three of them were not moving, the toad was suddenly a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted again: "Eat, eat, God's chosen warriors, eat to break through!"
When Gu Xuan heard this, he hurriedly asked the other party, "What is the Chosen Warrior of God?
However, the toad just continued to repeat: "Eat, eat, eat, God's chosen warriors, eat to break through!"
The three of them did not give up, and asked in a different way a few times, but no matter how they asked, the toad would always have only this one sentence as an answer, and after asking a few more times, they had to give up, of course, the most important reason was because the fragrance on the table had drifted along the wind at this time.
Eating and drinking, men and women, people's great desires.
No wonder the three of them are not strong-willed, it is really because this hunger is the hardest, and the three of them are not people who have not eaten good things, but they still can't help but swallow saliva at this moment.
It smells so good, and they are indeed too hungry, which is a fatal temptation.
"What, what to do?"
Adam was the first to speak, and then he turned his head to look at Gu Xuan, hoping that he would have an idea, but his spare eyes kept staring at a local roast chicken on the table, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Alan looked away, gritted his teeth gently, and seemed to be answering, as if he was talking to himself to cheer himself up, and said, "I can still bear it!"
Gu Xuan turned his head to look at him, and said helplessly: "Bear it, how can you endure it? How long will you have to endure it? Forget it, eat, what if you don't eat, since you are here, you have to eat, if you don't eat today, you have to eat tomorrow, we don't know anything about here, if you don't try, you can only starve to death, so let's do it, my physique is stronger, I'll eat a little bit, you wait for a while, if I'm okay, we'll eat!"
Alan bowed slightly, and then said, "There is some truth, but let me come, after all, you are all injuredγγγγγγ β
Gu Xuan immediately interrupted him and said, "It's because we are both injured, so let me come, there must be someone in the team who maintains a complete combat effectiveness, right?"
The three of them no longer argued about this issue, Gu Xuan was carried up, looking at the plate of dishes in front of him, he really didn't know where to start for a while, he secretly said a miracle in his heart, after thinking for a while, he grabbed a small dagger from a plate in his hand, and lightly cut off a piece of brown crispy skin on the back of a suckling pig.
The crispy skin is only the size of a finger, he is still not at ease, he did not eat it immediately, but first put it under his nose and sniffed it, this time it was terrible, the gluttonous worms in his stomach were hooked up all of a sudden, how to describe that feeling, that is, Gu Xuan felt that even if he was full now, he would not be able to help but bite down at this time.
Something quirky!
This was his first reaction, but when he turned his head to look at the expectant gazes of the two men, he shook his head, and put this small piece of crispy crust on his finger into his mouth and chewed it twice.
The taste is right, and the chef in the palace had better be able to make this craft.
Crispy suckling pig is just such a little meat, plus he cut it thinly with this knife, in addition to the crispy skin on the surface, there is only a piece of fat, which melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, it is this kind of crispy suckling pig, it is really a rare enjoyment, especially after leaving the West Continent, he has not eaten such a good thing, even he has to praise "absolutely!"
After this mouthful, the stomach contracted even more violently, as if it couldn't wait to start digesting, and at the same time sent out more urgent desires to the body.
One more piece!
More than that!
More of that!
Gu Xuan's spirit was in a trance for a while, as if a voice was whispering beside him.
Everything in front of you can be eaten, aren't you hungry, eat when you're hungry, eat when you're full, your body can recover, when you're full, you have the strength to get out of here, and when you're full, you can solve all your problems!
Eat, eat, eat the food here, you can eat whatever you want, it must meet your appetite, eat it, eat it!
