Chapter 34: The Devil's Island

Chapter 34 [Escape from the Devil's Island] (two chapters in a row)

"What? you said to make a raft and get out of here?" Joanna frowned and looked at Du Wei with suspicion: "This is the good idea you came up with? You plan to sail on a small raft on the sea and take us back to the mainland? You must be crazy!"

Du Wei smiled, and he slowly said his guess:

"I think it's promising. You, and Vivien, both of you are powerful magicians, and you can fly far with any tool or mount! I'm not mistaken, if your magic was still around, you would have left this damned island with the flying magic of the wind system, right?"

"Of course!" Joanna said coldly, "If I could still fly, I would have left a long time ago." โ€

"That's the problem. Du Wei laughed, "You've lost your magic. But according to my guess, it's not you, it's on this island! I suspect there's something that suppresses magic, like an enchantment, or something like the Forbidden Realm...... Most of it has something to do with the terrifying monster you saw. So...... I thought, this enchantment that suppresses magic...... How big is it? Does it cover the island tightly, or does it add a small part of the surrounding sea? But I think, at least certainly, it won't be very large. โ€

Joanna finally understood, and without Du Wei's explanation, she had already continued: "So, you don't plan to take us back to the mainland on a small raft. Instead, as long as this small raft is used to draw this forbidden demon barrier, Vivien's magic and I have recovered, and we can fly back to the mainland without a raft. Right?"

"That's right. Du Wei nodded.

"But what if it doesn't work?" Joanna frowned, "What if you're wrong? I mean, it's likely that Vivien and I have fallen under a spell that our magic won't be able to recover even if we leave this island? Or will it take days, or even months, to recover? With such a small raft, we would definitely die in the middle of nowhere. โ€

"It's just a difference in the way of death. Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "I can tell you very clearly...... If we don't leave here, two or three days at most, we're going to starve to death. Although there are many trees on this island, there are very few plants that can be eaten by their roots. I've found this out when I'm looking for food, and I'm not sure I'll find something to eat tomorrow. โ€

"We can fish!"

"Haha!" Du Wei laughed, "Fish......? The huge wave of water magic caused by that monster yesterday was like an earthquake...... With such a huge movement, even if there were any schools of fish in the waters around this island, they would have been scared away long ago!"

Although this note sounds a bit risky, Joanna thinks about it and thinks that what Du Wei said makes sense.

If you stay, you can only starve to death, so it's better to go out and fight.

The next step is how to make a raft.

What makes it difficult for everyone is ...... No tools in your hands!

Even if you want to cut down trees to make rafts...... You've got to have an axe, right?

Even if you don't have an axe, you can barely use a knife!

But Du Wei, let alone a knife, not even a dagger!

Joanna was also a samurai, but unfortunately her weapon was a flute!

Without tools, cutting down trees with bare hands? Dewey, I'm afraid these people don't have that kind of ability.

Even Joanna, who was a swordsman, didn't have that kind of magic to break a tree with one palm.

Dewey started by hitting Joanna's armor with his head. After all, the armor is metal, and as long as you get a piece of iron and sharpen the blade, you can barely use it as a sword.

Unfortunately, Du Wei was soon disappointed.

Joanna didn't skimp on her magic blessing armor, but her armor was full of hollow patterns, and she didn't even have a complete piece of iron the size of a palm!

But after thinking about it again, Du Wei still has a way!

Dragon scales!

No matter how much she felt sorry for her pet, Vivien still obediently agreed to let Du Wei peel off a few dragon scales.

The dragon's scales are so strong and hard that legendary heroes in ancient times even used them to make strong shields.

Vivien calmed her flame dragon with what little magic she had left, and Dewey boldly removed the two dragon scales.

It took another day to find a large rock on the seashore, and the two palm-sized dragon scales were sharpened into barely sharp blades.

Two women and one man spent two more days working.

Dewey and Joanna cut down several large trees, and Vivien was responsible for tying the trunks together with vines.

Du Wei even made a few oars out of tree trunks. He went out again and came back with something big like a gourd, which could not only carry some fresh water for walking, but also tie it to the raft to increase buoyancy.

Eventually, Joanna donated her white sรจ cloak to make a sail.

When everything was almost done, Vivien suddenly remembered a very important question!

"What about me, my dragon?" and poor little Vivien suddenly remembered such a crucial question!

You can't fit a dragon on a raft!

In fact, Du Wei and Joanna have thought of this question for a long time, but they have always found it difficult to speak to Vivian.

Vivien's pet dragon was originally sealed with a kind of sealing magic when her magic was normal, and she could summon it when she used it.

Unfortunately, now that she has no magic, she can't seal the dragon and take it with her.

Du Wei and Joanna glanced at each other, and in the face of Vivien's pitiful question, they both felt a little difficult to answer.

Vivian immediately understood, and the little silly girl shed tears: "No!

She ran over crying, threw herself on the sleeping dragon, and held on to it and wouldn't let go.

Du Wei sighed, looking at this simple little girl, Du Wei also felt a little guilty in his heart.

But what if you don't?

They couldn't take such a big dragon!

What's more, deep down in Du Wei's heart...... He is not like the people of this world, who regard a dragon as some powerful, great high-level creature.

In Du Wei's usual thinking habits: talent is the most important. Dragons or snakes...... It's all just "animals".

Human life is the most important thing. If human life is sacrificed for the sake of an "animal", it is simply an incomprehensible stupid thing in Du Wei's opinion.

And a deeper layer...... Hmph, if it weren't for Vivien's face, he would even have the heart to slaughter this big "animal" and use its meat to make dry food.

But in that case, I'm afraid Vivien will definitely cry to death on the spot.

Although Vivien refused to leave her baby dragon, Du Wei and Joanna forcibly took her with them.

To Du Wei's slight surprise, the vicious woman showed rare tenderness to her sister this time.

"No surprise. Joanna was already somewhat familiar with Du Wei, and she knew what was going on his mind when she looked at him: "I also just lost my dragon, and I can feel the sadness of this little guy." โ€

Du Wei saw that in Joanna's eyes, there was also a trace of deep sadness.

The two girls sat on the raft, Du Wei pushed the raft into the sea in the back, and then he turned over and jumped up, Joanna controlled the sails, and Du Wei picked up the wooden oars and rowed hard.

Only poor little Vivien, who was forcibly brought up by two people to sit on the raft, silently looked at the island behind her with tears in her eyes...... And here, there's her pet dragon.

The waves are small, which is very lucky.

However, Du Wei and Joanna both looked nervous.

Because both are praying......

I just hope that as they move forward, they don't encounter that monster! That monster can lurk in the sea and attack a dragon...... So if the monster is eyeing them, overturning this little raft is almost a breeze.

Du Wei only hoped that a few of his men could quietly leave the island for a distance, and then he hoped that the two magicians would be able to fly.

"Bless us, O Almighty God......," Joanna muttered.

The rowing effort was too hard for a thin teenager like Du Wei, but under the inspiration of fleeing to survive, he still struggled to persevere, although his arm was a little sore, but Du Wei was still gritting his teeth and insisting.

Visually, it is at least more than 200 meters away from the coast.

"How are you feeling?" said Dewey aloud to Joanna.

"No, it still doesn't work. Joanna tried to summon a wind magic to enhance the sails, but it didn't work.

"Keep up the good work. Du Wei gritted his teeth.

However, it seems that the gods of this world are not destined to bless such a heretic as Du Wei.

Just as the raft had rowed about a hundred meters forward......

Suddenly, there was a sudden rise of huge waves on the surface of the sea! Suddenly, the terrible roar that had once made people beat again appeared!

Then, under the frightened gaze of the three of them, a huge wave about four or five meters high suddenly rolled up from the calm sea and rolled towards the small raft with a roar!

With a bang, in the lapping of the huge waves, the vines on the raft immediately broke, the raft was torn apart, and the three fell into the water almost at the same time......

Du Wei only felt that the moment his whole body fell into the seawater, there seemed to be a force in the seawater that restrained him!

He couldn't move his whole body, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of seawater poured in. Du Wei thought he was about to die, his eyes were blackening, and in the sea, a whirlpool swept him and dragged him down quickly......

Du Wei felt as if he was sinking all the time...... Sinking all the time......
