The rapidly changing sight made Esther more and more dizzy and sick, and she felt sick to her stomach.

When everything stopped, she found herself in front of her a boundless sea.

Ocean!

There are no buildings covered with dust, no panting steam trains, no streets with no horses, and no smog from the sky that pollutes the air for years.

Esther looked at everything in disbelief, but full of amazement:

In the distance, blue, rolling sapphires reflect the sun's facets, and scattered diamonds are deeper and deeper than the clear sky, joining in a line in the distance.

The frothy waves climbed and fell, until they touched the nearby gold-dusted sand, and then faded and melted.

The tiny shells are buried underneath, and only after the salty waves have receded and retreated, do they shyly peek out and gaze at the expansive, delightfully blue world.

It's a shock that Esther can't describe, from the tiny perspective of an individual, from a larger and more ambitious free world.

Her eyes were a little moist, maybe they were in the sand, maybe the curse was aching from the wound on her left hand.

A hermit crab squeezes open a corner of its shell, and crawls slowly over Esther's shoes with its slightly whitish right eye, completely unafraid of the statue-like human in a daze.

Esther smelled the pure sea breeze, without the gloomy mist of Beckland, the smell was more vivid than she remembered, and her mouth could almost taste the bitter saltiness of the sea, she did not hate such an intense sensory experience, and even immersed herself in it.

Only one thing, she was tempted to shout now, to drown out the white noise of the waves day and night.

Since there was no one nearby, Esther did just that:

"What the hell is this—"

However, she forgot that there was a crow nearby, and the hoarse voice with a smile sounded above Esther's head the next moment:

"By the sea. It's far enough from Beckland so it's safe here. ”

Esther pointed to the beautiful sea and sky line opposite: "Of course I know that this is the seaside!?" How did we get here? That mysterious lady just now feels familiar to me, and she won't hurt us! Why did we just flash - or teleport or something, and run here!? ”

The white-eyed crow flew down from the top of Esther's head and landed on a nearby coconut tree, turning its head leisurely from side to side, as if to take in the vicinity:

"Even if you ask me that, I can only guess."

"I wanted to avoid that guy named Amon very, very much, but I didn't want to go straight to 'Ruxon Crusoe'! Do you still want to change the name to 'Friday'? ”

Esther irritated twice around the beach, looking around, but saw no figure or boat, only two seagulls with dark eyes skimming over her head and into the lush woods behind her.

The warm sea breeze on her cheeks and her silver-gray hair made Esther sigh deeply. There was no more of Beckland's bitterly cold winter winds, and if it had been a different time, Esther might have enjoyed the trip, which she had been thinking about for a long time.

But now everything is in shambles.

"Friday? What's the story? The crow tilted his head curiously, seemingly unconcerned about his current situation.

Esther glared at it angrily: "The story of cannibalism! ”

"It's corny, and it doesn't feel interesting enough."

"You still have the heart to comment? We could be trapped in a hellish place that doesn't even have a name!? ”

Esther looked at the primeval jungle full of wild atmosphere, and said that birds in this place did not, because there were seabirds flying over just now, but to say that there were other people in this place, then she could not believe it.

Even if there were, it might be a wild man who would be difficult to communicate with...... They don't really eat people, do they? From another perspective, there are extraordinary people in this world, so maybe there are extraordinary animals or even monsters on such an island?

I can't think about it anymore, I can't scare myself!

Esther patted her forehead with her palm, trying to calm herself, and after calming down a little, she glanced at the lush forest and decided that she couldn't stand still.

Breaking off a twig of about a meter, Esther found a piece of pebbles and shells, and after simply cutting the tip out of the edges, she grabbed the rudimentary weapon and began to walk towards the side of the beach.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been sluggish for so long and that her stolen Frost ability had dissipated, Esther wouldn't have been so embarrassed to make her own weapons.

The black silk on her left hand was already slowly dissipating, but very slowly, the pain was obvious but still within Esther's tolerance, and every now and then a ring would emerge and disappear in the palm of her hand, against the curse that was eroding the flesh and blood.

The crow flew over and crouched on top of Esther's head, happily watching her every move: "Don't you have anything in your bag that you can use?" ”

"No, my dagger is off! And then we were here again......" Esther said as she picked up several fist-sized stones nearby, marking them in a circle around the edge of the woods in order to locate her starting point, "that woman is the 'witch', isn't she?" ”

"Of course, of course," replied the crow very casually, "will you build your own ship?" ”

Esther paused as she stepped to the right of the beach: "You're looking too highly of me, aren't you?" ”

"Are you going to swim back, then?"

Esther almost put a huge question mark on her face: "Who gave you such a great illusion?" I don't even know where we are, where am I going? Heavenly? ”

"Well, it's not impossible." The crow flapped its wings twice, showing off its ability to fly.

This made Esther feel the pain in her right eyebrow start to throb again, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of holding a stick in her left hand, she would definitely reach out to rub it.

To her horror, there was a spiritual intuition in her mind that sent out "uneasiness", a vague warning that did not point to it, or more accurately, it seemed to warn of possible danger in all directions.

Esther didn't change on the surface, on the surface she was guarding against the beasts that might emerge from the jungle of the island, but in the same way, she began to secretly warn of the "little seven" above her head, just because it was also included in such an "uneasy" warning.

Not far away, a lizard with a slightly blackened right eye stuck out its tongue and disappeared into the blades of grass behind the roots of the tree, crawling deeper into the island.

At the same time, there are all kinds of tiny reptiles and flying insects.

A few crabs dragged their bodies on the beach, covering the mess of footprints.

It wasn't long before a few seabirds with dark eyes flew here, grabbed the swarm of stones that had been marked, and brought them all back into the jungle.

——

The sun was too harsh, and the temperature rose quickly, and although Esther was not very afraid of heat, it took much of her remaining stamina to survive, and she soon had to take off her cloak and tie it directly to her waist, so that it would not affect her hands and feet too much.

She walked into the setting sun, feeling bouts of exhaustion, but she didn't seem to be back to where she had started.

Esther rubbed her arms together, and the recurring wheel that appeared on the skin under her sleeve quickly vanished. Unbeknownst to her, this process was repeated many times, causing Esther's physiology to stop working completely.

This also helped Esther a lot, and there were no bathrooms on such a desert island.

It was hard for Esther not to think about the strange situation caused by "Zoya" before, and to wonder if it had something to do with that time.

There were signs of broken branches everywhere at the edge of the forest, but Esther never saw the round of stones, and the beach was still stretching ahead, which made her wonder. Esther didn't think the island was so vast, and she was walking quickly, but it had been at least three hours since she had walked, and she hadn't even returned to where she had been.

"Xiao Qi, you can see farther, is this island very large?" Esther couldn't help but turn to the crow for help.

However, her on-field support behaved rather passively, and the crow blinked innocently: "It looks pretty big, I didn't pay attention." But there's not much movement in the jungle, so it should be safe, do you want to go in and find a place to spend the night? ”

"Well," Esther hesitated a little, looking around, "I think I should have something to eat first, or I'll really start thinking about roasting you." ”

The eyes of the white-eyed crow were full of teasing: "Oh? The fruit from the trees over there is a specialty of the archipelago, and humans can eat it. ”

Esther looked at the slender palm-shaped tree, which did indeed have a large hard-shelled fruit hanging from the top, and she narrowed her eyes for two seconds: "It looks like a puffed coconut ......"

"So, cough, come on, almighty little seven!"

"Don't."

"It's cold."

Esther just made a casual joke to lift her mood, she really didn't expect the crow to do his best to help her, and he had been keen to watch her jokes since he landed on the island.

"Then you get out of the way, don't get smashed."

The crow chuckled, as if mocking Esther's stupidity, but it also got up from top of Esther's head and flew to a bush a few meters away, keeping a distance from Esther's target.

"It's really torturous to think about it, that Amon can steal the distance, and I can't, otherwise I'll just catch it down."

It was impossible to climb a tree, and Esther's left hand could not support such activity, so she could only think about knocking the fruit down.

Esther picked up a few stones from the beach, looked up at the fruit, took a few steps back, and then slammed her wrist and hit one of the stones, which shook twice and then didn't move.

Esther repeated this several times, and after analyzing the approximate force and angle, she twisted and threw the wooden gun up.

"Boom!"

The tip of the wooden spear, which was not sharp enough, slammed into the oval fruit, and under such impact, the weight-bearing branch made a cracking sound, and soon the fruit fell to the sand, and even the next one fell with the residual strength of the wooden spear.

The wooden spear arced through the air and stuck in the sand on the other side.

Before Esther's cheers could be uttered, the other man's palm was already covered with a fruit that resembled a coconut, and he picked it up from the ground.

The black crow with white eyes fell back on top of Esther's head, and spoke her mind for Esther: "Why are you here?" You sent us here? ”

The black-haired young man wearing crystal monocles tossed and caught the Teyana fruit in his hand, and said to Esther with a smile:

"Truth be told, I've always been here."
