The island is displaced, there is little hope, and the cold rain is exhausted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A small campfire lit by a few shrub branches and leaves piled up on the sand burned in the silence of the night, and the faint glow and heat of the fire did not completely prevent the cold wind from surrounding it, bringing with it the salty smell of the sea.

The disintegration of the bamboo raft also led to the loss of a large amount of supplies, and the few fruits left now could not completely solve the problem of physical exertion after drifting on the ocean for half a day, so after swallowing the last few berries, Mu Xue felt even hungrier. It's clear that you're on an island at this point won't always be able to find enough food, let alone that it's still night.

It seems that everything is desperate.

"But there are some things we can do that might help." Xinglan looked thoughtfully in the opposite direction away from the coast, where there was a small crater, of course, anyone who knew about the Shipmon would know that this so-called Ringing Mountain Range was actually the back bulge of the Shipbeast, and if necessary, it could be used to make the kind of distant roar that could be heard from miles away like a giant horn by vibrating, "First of all, the place where I said before that only the low bushes were found was only the edge of the island, and the interior of the Ring Mountain Range has not been explored. Taller trees may be present. ”

"Secondly, if this is Yunmo, they have encountered those ...... The place of the more terrifying guys, then they will definitely not live on the back of this perched ship beast all the time, since they can come here, maybe there will be a way to leave. After a moment of silence, Xing Lan continued, "Of course, there is one last way, Yun Mo didn't take all the wooden boats with them when they left, just like the wooden boats that were chased to the Nanyuan Continent by that girl, maybe you can still find the wooden boats they left behind when you go to the coastal zone." ”

"But none of those three methods have a good chance of success, do they?" Mu Xue moved her body slightly, and this action involved the part that was injured when she fell into the sea, so she couldn't help but let out a slight cry of pain, "It's almost impossible to pray that there will be thicker trees on the island, you also said, this ...... Well, the dwelling beast, there is a fixed time of the year that will dive, so the growth period of these plants will not exceed a year, and how can there be a thick trunk. ”

"As for those...... Goblin. Speaking of this, Mu Xue cautiously looked around, and still seemed to be a little apprehensive, "Let's not talk about how to find them, even if we find them, we may not be able to communicate, and maybe we will die directly in their hands." ”

"And the final search for the wooden boats, under the premise that the island is constantly moving, whether those wooden boats will still be in place is an unknown mystery after all, and it may not be intact enough to be used."

In the dark sky, there seemed to be several impossibly fast shadows flying directly from the center of the island, leaving a series of loud chirps in the night. Xinglan didn't use the signal to directly scan their shapes, so the optical sensors alone couldn't see the appearance of these flying creatures, but these familiar movements reminded her of the white puffins that once lived on the body of the ship-dwelling beasts. However, when I came to the back of the perching beast this time, I saw a lot of flying creatures, but I was not able to see the white puffin again, and I don't know if it was extinct or not here.

"I know, but at this point we just have to try as much as we can, don't we?" Xing Lan naturally knew what Mu Xue said, but on the premise of not directly using those cheating methods, even she couldn't think of any better way, "The previous bamboo raft was my fault for not thinking about it well, so I got to this point. ”

"No one expected the sudden attack of that giant fish, and the cold was unbearable only for me, so it can't be considered your fault no matter how you look at it." Mu Xue shook her head, quietly watching the bonfire burning in front of her, the coldness from the cold wind behind her and the temperature emitted by the bonfire in front of her seemed to be fighting fiercely with her body as a battlefield, everything she saw began to blur unconsciously, and the flickering fire was reflected in her beautiful silver-white pupils. She shook her head hard, but the strong drowsiness was like a curvature on the back of the perching beast, which made the brain that had just woken up from the coma more and more confused......

"If you're too tired, get some sleep." Xinglan raised her head again and stared at the starry sky, in fact, if you look closely, you can see that her attention is not concentrated at all, but she is dealing with some other things at the same time, "I don't need to rest yet, don't worry." ”

"Yes." Mu Xue replied softly, and simply leaned on Xinglan's body again, she was indeed tired, once she relaxed psychologically, she soon fell asleep completely, and the surface of her skin was fixed in a dark gray that blended well with the environment, and no longer changed at all.

Seeing that Mu Xue was asleep, Xing Lan seemed to be smiling a little, she simply kept this action unchanged, motionless and looked like she was looking at the starry sky in a daze, but in fact, she only left a small part of her attention here, just for basic vigilance.

……

There was no danger that night, even if they were sitting directly in the wilderness, and the only protection was a small inconspicuous campfire, but this was the back of the ship-dwelling beast, a moving island in the gorge of life and death. It can be said that there are almost no ferocious beasts to be found on the entire island, and most of them are small animals that can fly long distances, and the Moon Prayers are already considered large animals.

However, just before dawn, a light rain began to fall in the sky, where only a faint white light appeared. The moment the first drop of rain fell from the sky, Xinglan already felt this strange atmosphere, and she quietly watched as the clouds and mist quickly spread from afar to obscure the clear sky. Once again, the weather on the ocean proved to be unpredictable, and the good weather that lasted only two days disappeared, which meant that the journey was further difficult.

Strange to say, when the sky began to rain, Xinglan first thought that it was a pity that this was not Purgatory Island...... The so-called heating next to the lava is definitely not just a joke, in that kind of volcanic activity can cause the temperature of the whole environment to rise together, of course, the most important problem is that the magma cannot be completely extinguished because of the rain, but the bonfire is likely to be extinguished by too much moisture in the air, which is something that cannot be solved at all.

But at least this time Xinglan didn't need to worry about whether the bonfire would affect Mu Xue after it was extinguished in the rain, because Mu Xue had been awakened by the raindrops that fell on her body before the bonfire went out, and at that time, a layer of moist sand had obviously appeared on the surface of the originally dry sandy land, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, smashing out small pits.

Of course, in this era, there will be no umbrellas for them to hold up in place to avoid the rain, and there will be no caves made of rocks on the backs of the perching ship beasts, and this sudden drizzle is another aggravation for Mu Xue, who is hypothermic, and the leg muscles even begin to cramp.

"The bonfire is going to go out......" Xinglan said as she looked at the growing flames as the rain intensified again, and she didn't try to add some shrub branches or build a small rain shelter to protect the campfire, because that would be a waste of energy, and the rain would no longer be able to keep the campfire.

"What's next?" Mu Xue shuddered, she was still bothered by the cold breath, "Looking for a place to hide from the rain?" ”

"You can't wait where you are, staying still at this temperature will only make the cold worse." Xinglan looked at the crater mountain range in the depths of the island, and seemed to be a little hesitant and hesitant, "It stands to reason that exercising more will help keep your body warm, but you can also choose to move in place here, and if you go directly to the depths of the island, you are likely to encounter some unknown dangers." ”

"Do you mean you might encounter those weird demons?" Mu Xue immediately understood what Xing Lan meant, those Xin Yu people were actually not very aggressive, and it could even be said that they would hardly take the initiative to attack maliciously, but after the Moon Prayer people sneak attacked them and even killed one of them, Xing Lan didn't dare to guarantee that those Xin Yu people would not see Mu Xue's appearance and attack directly, this race's strange ability is definitely not something Mu Xue can fight against. But if you think about it carefully, in fact, even if you stay where you are, it is very likely that you will encounter Xin Yu people, and in that case, the situation will probably only be more dangerous.

"In the future, don't call them demons." Xing Lan sighed, and didn't know why she felt a little sad, "They are not the kind of demons you think they are, it is more appropriate to call them Xin Yu people." ”

"Xin Yu people?" Repeated with some doubts, although she felt that this title was a little strange, Mu Xue didn't care to continue asking, and her rapidly declining body temperature once again obviously evoked her very bad memories, and even took the initiative to pull Xinglan towards the bushes. After a night's rest, although I still feel excruciating soreness all over my body, I can at least perform some basic movements.

"But it's already so cold now, and when you get to the northern continent, it is estimated that the climate will become colder and colder, and the clothes woven by vines will definitely not be able to keep warm enough, so you have to make another plan." Xinglan thought of a more long-term aspect from this, since even the temperature plummeted in the middle of the Life and Death Gorge, then the Northern Yuan Continent might already have ice and snow weather, so it couldn't be the same.

"The people of the north all use animal skins to make warm clothes." Mu Xue shook her head and said, the implication is that this matter can only be done by waiting for the northern continent to be done, not on the back of this perching ship beast, there are no big enough animals here to make animal skin clothes, and the top priority is to leave here quickly and go to the mainland.

"Let's take a look inside the crater, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries, after all, it is not too much time before the dive of the dive of the dive of the dive, and then go to the coastal area of the island to find the remaining wooden boats."
