Chapter 3: Goring Island

Xiao Ming's eyes stared at the calm sea, and now the philosopher's thinking in his mind has disappeared, fifteen days, fifteen days of drifting on the sea, Xiao An has brought him little dry food.

"Goo, is it true that I, Xiao Ming, am not destined to be able to escape this catastrophe? Xiao Ming lay on the boat, the calm sea did not overturn his boat, but it also allowed him to sail until now, not to see an island.

"Could it be that the first philosopher of Yugu Village is going to die on this vast blue sea?" Xiao Ming sighed and began to nibble on the last piece of steamed buns.

Xiao Ming gobbled up the steamed buns, stood up, looked into the distance, and his pupils, which were dim because of hunger, suddenly lit up, "Hey, boat, there are people here!" Xiao Ming saw a ten-ton fishing boat fishing in the distance.

"Finally saved!" Xiao Ming was pulled up by two small fishermen, "Child, look at you like this, are you shipwrecked?" A kind elder walked over, squinting and smiling.

"No, no, I'm from Baha Island in the South China Sea, I went to sea on this boat, but I didn't expect to be successful and eat up the dry food!" Xiao Ming said embarrassedly, frantically nibbling on a grilled fish handed to him by the fisherman.

"What?" the elder exclaimed, so frightened that Xiao Ming hurriedly protected the grilled fish, thinking that it was going to be seized by the elder. "You're from the South China Sea, how long have you been at sea?" the fishermen around him also exclaimed.

"About fifteen days. Although I don't have a wall calendar, I have sunrise and sunset markings engraved on the boat. Xiao Ming pointed to the inscription on the boat.

"Do you know where this is?" the elder sighed.

"Where?"

"This is the closest island to the eastern end of the Blue Sea Continent, Goling Island!" the elder sighed, he still wondered if this young man was panicking, whether he was an undercover agent sent by the West, but after looking at his pure Oriental face, he didn't have any doubts, maybe he had encountered some miracle, the elder thought to himself.

"Ah, I was just out to sea when I encountered a strong wind, and then my boat was lifted up by the waves, and when it fell, I ran out of dry food. And then I met you guys. Xiao Ming picked at his nose and smirked.

The fishermen were amazed again, and Xiao Ming took the opportunity to nibble on the grilled fish.

"Well, don't be surprised that whatever happens at sea, it's a lot more complicated than we think. The elder said.

"That's true. Xiao Ming clapped his hands and praised.

"Then this young man, what are your plans next, don't you want to follow the old man out to sea to fish?" the elder smiled.

"Haha, of course not, my first step after going to sea is to become an adventurer, and then venture deep into the Luolei Mountains. Xiao Ming's figure flashed, and he jumped onto the mast of the fishing boat, "Don't hide it from everyone, I'm a capable person!" As he spoke, Xiao Ming's palm shone brightly. In everyone's surprise, the light dissipated, and a small flower appeared in Xiao Ming's palm. Everyone fell, Xiao Ming smiled awkwardly, "I've been hungry for so many days, I have no strength!"

In the evening, a banquet was held on the deck, and Xiao Ming performed the trick of turning into a butterfly and a dragonfly in his hands in front of everyone.

"That young man, the old man's surname is Zuo, you can call me Zuo Fish King. Shaoxia, what is your surname?" the elder sat beside Xiao Ming and drank a little wine.

"My surname is Xiao, you can call me Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming generously introduced himself, and tonight he accepted the applause of the crowd.

"Xiao Shaoxia wants to be an adventurer, do you know that adventure is a rather dangerous thing?" Zuo Yuwang said, holding a piece of fish meat and putting it in his mouth to chew, "It's not a secret, I was a Silver Star adventurer back then, and I also had an adventure team, we went deep into the cemetery of kings in the west, you may not know there, the level there is much higher than the Falling Thunder Mountain Range, and there are many demonic beasts, but?" Zuo Yuwang suddenly stopped talking.

"But what?" Xiao Ming listened attentively.

"But the most terrifying thing is not those huge demonic beasts, but other adventure teams, for the sake of treasure, they can ignore the friendship of fellow Orientals or Westerners, chase you fiercely, and it is rare for an adventure team that is really eaten by demonic beasts. Back then, my team was chased and killed by the Venus adventure team when they excavated a tomb of an ancient, and I was the only one who survived the seven-person team. Zuo Yuwang put down his chopsticks as he spoke, and the fishermen at the Zhou table also stopped, they had rarely heard the captain talk about his past before.

"Do you want to know how I survived?" Zuo Fish King wept, "I was swallowed by the demonic beast guarding the tomb, but the lizard didn't eat me, but wrapped me in its mouth and escaped. “

Xiao Ming was silent, burying his head in eating fish.

"When I left the Tomb of the Kings, I made a vow that I would never again be an adventurer, and after the adventurers' guild cancelled my identity, I left the West and came here to set up a fishing team, and I could enjoy my old age in peace. Zuo Yuwang poured another full glass of wine, and the tears he shed tonight were more than the rest of his life after that catastrophe, and he had to admire the charm of this man.

"Hey, Zuo Yuwang, a man can't give up because of a momentary failure, do you understand?After you escaped, you chose to be a fisherman instead of taking up arms to seek revenge on the enemy, what do you think your partner Huang Quanxia will think?" Xiao Ming raised his head and glared at the old man. 、

"So I don't deserve to live!" Zuo Yuwang cried and picked up the harpoon and wanted to insert it into his throat, a gust of wind blew, a thin hand held the harpoon, Xiao Ming squatted on the table and looked at Zuo Yuwang, "Now that you are dead, how can you be worthy of the lizard that saved you in the first place?"

"Then how is it good for the old man!" Zuo Yuwang dropped the harpoon and hugged his head and cried.

"Hey, Zuo Fish King, be my partner!" Xiao Ming squatted on the table and looked at Zuo Fish King with a grin.
