The sea breeze is warm and the waves are surging. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Judging from the climate here, it is probably far away from the Chinese mainland, and China should be in a severe winter at this time, and although it is located in the ocean, although the sun has not yet risen at this time, the temperature is almost the summer temperature of the Chinese mainland.

With a hint of morning light on the horizon, Lu Xiaonan climbed to the highest point of the island with Jin Wu, climbed high and looked into the distance, only to find that this was only one of the archipelago reefs, about two or three square kilometers, almost all composed of rocks, bare without a trace of vegetation, but compared to the surrounding reefs that disappear in the waves, it is still a relatively large one.

About a few dozen kilometers away from this small island, there are two islands facing each other, several times larger than here, with lush vegetation and a faint cloud and mist, which is not dispersed by the sea breeze. To get back to land, you'll probably need to go to the two larger islands, and if there are no reefs around, you might be able to catch a passing boat.

After Lu Xiaonan watched for a long time, he found a sheltered place to sit cross-legged, he urgently needed to breathe, in order to increase the speed and turn into light particles, he had already consumed the true yuan, and even made his internal organs into a mess, and at this time he calmed down and realized that it was actually a terrible pain.

The golden crow had already spread its wings and flew away, chasing those early seabirds, leaving only Lu Xiaonan to close his eyes and meditate, and in a moment, a fishy thing with a trace of black blood stains came out of his body, and those dark wounds in his body slowly recovered and healed in the pranayama.

Lu Xiaonan meditated and pranayama for two days and two nights this time, and only opened his eyes after a layer of blue halo emerged from his body, his eyes were bright and sharp, like lightning flashing, and he looked like a sharp sword. At this time, he was full of energy, and the injuries on his body were healed, and the rest needed time to heal.

He jumped into the sea to wash off the filth on his body, changed his clothes, and then thought about how to get to the two larger islands, he walked along the small islands, but never found anything floating that could be used, and he probably needed to swim to the distant islands, but looking at the seemingly calm but actually turbulent sea, it was a headache to think about.

Although there was nothing floating to use, but these still did not bother him, he found a boulder and cut it with a sword, and it took most of the day to carve it into a stone boat, and deliberately made this stone boat very large, although it was a little rough, but the wall of the boat was very thin, and when it was put into the sea, it was able to carry him.

Lu Xiaonan looked at the sky, the golden crow didn't know where it flew and didn't return, so he didn't wait for it, this sunbird has wings, and he can probably find himself. He rowed the boat towards the two islands, and although he carefully avoided the reefs along the way, he was almost shattered by the turbulence on several occasions, and finally reached one of the islands without danger.

From afar, there is a peak like Optimus Prime above the island, and the wind-blown clouds and mist that you can see in the distance are wrapped around this peak.

Abandon the boat and landing, the periphery of the island is a large area of golden sand, the beach is flat, there are layers of ripple traces left by the seawater, in the afternoon sun exudes layers of heat, stepping on the top can almost bake the shoes, but he still stepped on the beach and walked along the island, this circle walked a full twenty kilometers before returning to the original place, he helplessly found that this island is also the same as the previous stone island, surrounded by countless reefs, everywhere undercurrents, those ferries and other larger ships are difficult to dock.

He wiped a fine bead of sweat from his forehead, climbed a coconut tree and picked a few, pierced the hole with his sword, sat under the tree and drank while resting, his eyes inadvertently looked at another island that seemed to be born side by side with this island, he couldn't help but be stunned, he saw that the scene of that island was very familiar, there was also a person under the coconut tree who was holding a coconut and looking at this side, his face suddenly stood up, and the person on the other side also got up suddenly......

This, is this a mirror?

The most peculiar thing is that the wind blows the leaves here, and it is exactly the same as that side, it really seems to be an image in the mirror, and the jade sword in the hand of the person is also shining with blue light!

Lu Xiaonan's heart sank suddenly, these two islands are not bad at all from which direction, even the traces of sand raised in his hands are the same, so he dragged the stone boat to row towards the island, and the people over there also rowed in the stone boat, they seem to be very close to each other, but it seems to be endless time and space, no matter how you move forward, you can never get close to each other, you can never reach the other side, this is the so-called close to the end of the world? Lu Xiaonan stopped the stone boat and observed for a long time, but in the end he didn't find anything, so he had no choice but to give up and row the stone boat back, and the same was true for the one on the other side.

It really seems to be a mirror, or a very special kind of mirage, that refracts images at great close distances and allows the person in it to see their own shadow. But Lu Xiaonan didn't notice that the moment he turned around and twisted his eyebrows to think, there seemed to be a strange smile in Lu Xiaonan's eyes on the other island.

Lu Xiaonan walked towards the peak of the island, and he walked through a scattered coconut grove and climbed over the low mountains before he came to the bottom of the peak.

Along the way, he carefully observed, except for some traces left by birds and beasts, there seemed to be no human activity here, but the peak in front of him made his originally nervous heart suddenly tense even more.

There is a stone path that spirals around the pillar of the peak, leading to the top of the mountain, although it is said to be a stone step, but it seems that someone according to the trend of the mountain here, intermittently, easy to settle down the steps are chiseled, not easy to pass through the place only left holes inserted in the stakes, those stakes have long since withered, some only a little rotten sawdust remains, which is obviously artificially excavated, although I don't know how long it has been abandoned.

Lu Xiaonan looked up, the clouds and mist were stacked at the extremely high peak, and his eyes could not see it, he was a little hesitant to go up to take a look, but when his eyes touched the first stone step, he immediately strengthened his determination to climb up. He saw a footprint on the top of the steps, which had only been left long in the rock, and he could see a fresh section, and there was a silk fabric thread hanging from the thorny plant next to it.

Lu Xiaonan lifted his feet and stepped on the first stone step, his body suddenly sank, and he found that the pressure on his body had more than doubled in an instant, and each step he took consumed more strength.

He pursed his lips, his eyes showed a determined light, adjusted his pace slightly, and continued to walk up the stone steps, the stone steps at the bottom of the peak were still quite compact, and when he came around to the steps directly above the first step before, his body sank again, and the pressure on his body increased to five times at this time, making his body pause slightly, without affecting his continued upward steps.

Here again, he found a footprint deep into the stone, still as if it were the first step, only a short time ago.

He went up again, this time he passed through two places that were too quick and interrupted with his agile skills, and when he came to the top of the first step again, the pressure on his body increased to ten times here, and his body paused slightly, but with his cultivation at this time, it basically didn't have much impact on him to continue to go up.

In the same place, he found the same footprint, three footprints in a line, it seemed that a certain person began to leap upwards from the first stone step, and every time he ascended a distance, he would step on the stone steps to borrow strength, if the stone steps above were still the same, until the top of the mountain, then this person was against the pressure that increased exponentially with each lap, and his cultivation could be described as terrifying.

He looked at the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds, and his gaze became even more determined!
