The sea, which had been relatively calm, gradually intensified and surged, and the waves that crashed on the Destiny sometimes even splashed on the ship's side deck. All the aquatic creatures seemed to sense the impending storm and sank into the sea, even the island-sized Tyrannosaurus whale. Leaving a loud and long-lasting roar on the surface of the sea, the giant beast of the sea swam to the bottom of the sea to escape the storm.

The Destiny also began to head to the left of the sea, with an island floating not far in front of it. The area of the island is not small, and it is long and narrow. According to rough estimates, the length of the head and tail is nearly 100 kilometers long. With vast expanses of jungle and towering mountain peaks in the distance, the island is a natural haven.

At this time, the sky near the horizon was as black as ink, and in the thunderbolt of lightning, a pillar of wind peeked down from the clouds above, and the waves that slowly led the sea surface began to rotate. Eventually, the pillar of wind connected the sky and the earth, expanding to form a twisted and thick tornado. The tornado continued to grow, and with the appearance of violent winds and rains, the entire sea surface was almost like the end of the world. Even though the Destiny was still a long way from the horizon, the hull had already begun to shake violently, and it was not difficult for the people on board to feel the violent aura of the storm that carried on all things.

Eventually, before the storm arrived, the Destiny made its way to the shallows near the island. Sailors anchored, but this was not enough. Zero and Feng and several men personally pulled the cable connecting the hull to the island, and used steel stakes to dig deep into the ground to secure the ship, so as not to be carried away from the island by strong winds and rough waves. After doing this, Zero looked up at the sky.

The whole sky went completely dark, and then the storm came and the sky even began to rain hail. Zero hurriedly shouted, "Go back to the boat, quick!"

Even they are reluctant to be fully exposed to such a storm with strong radiation. Everyone nodded, and by this time the wind was loud, and the whole world was filled with the roar of the wind, and it was impossible to convey any information with their mouths alone. So everyone didn't say much, and returned to the Destiny silently. As soon as they entered the Destiny, a sailor brought a portable purifier to the crowd. When the radiation level of several people in the machine was shown to meet the safety standard, he put away the instrument and returned to the control room, the lights flickered, illuminating the faces of everyone on the ship.

This is the first time they have encountered such a large-scale storm since they went to sea, and everyone is at a loss. The Destiny had turned off most of its engines, the steel wings on both sides had been retracted and clung to the hull, and the entire ship was constantly rising and falling on the sea, and the violent jolting was very uncomfortable for everyone. Through the Destiny's external light screen, everyone on board saw the huge tornado slowly passing over the sea near the island, and the whirlwind was almost negligible compared to the Destiny's enormous size.

Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, they went to this harbor to take shelter from the storm. Otherwise, if they meet on the propulsion track of the whirlwind, the Destiny will probably be twisted into a mess in an instant, and the people on board will not be spared. In the face of this terrifying power of heaven and earth, even a ninth-order powerhouse like Zero would not be able to get any benefit.

Eventually, after nearly an hour of wind and rain, the terrifying tornado finally went away. But instead of a clear day, it rained harder. Various probes on board the Destiny have shown that the energy magnetic field in this area is extremely unstable, and it is possible that this situation will continue for several days before it stabilizes. Before that, it was obviously impossible to continue sailing at sea, so Destiny had to stay on the island for a few days.

The next day, the rain stopped, but the wind was strong and chaotic, and the waves of the sea hit each other, splashing the fluffy gray-white waves. Although the rain has stopped, the sky is still steamy, and it seems that even a few more rainstorms will fall at any time. The people on board had also been on the Destiny for a while, and now that they were unable to sail, their interest in the island grew.

At noon, Haiwei, who couldn't sit still, shouted, "I can't stand it anymore, I want to go around the island." Stay on the boat any longer, I'm going to die!"

She did speak out to most people, and even Billy was a little moved. Zero also thinks it's better to go to the island to rest for a day or two, after all, people are land creatures, and staying at sea for too long will make them sick. So in Haiwei's cheers, Zero nodded in agreement.

Armed with nutrients and two days of clean water, the group left the Destiny and crossed the shallows on a rubber raft and landed on a rocky beach. As soon as she got off the boat, Haiwei jumped around like a deer released into the mountains and forests. She pulled Yeliu and ran together, but unfortunately the latter was expressionless. When Haiwei stopped, Yeliu spread out her hand and opened her small mouth for a long time before she spit out three words: "Childish." ”

"Let's go, Captain, let's go on an adventure!" Haiwei didn't care about Yeliu's assessment, she raised her hand and shook her arm and shouted to Zero.

So Zero was temporarily removed from the captain to the captain of the expedition, with him at the head, except for the two girls in Hevi. It also includes Leah, Kaede, Wolf King Cayton, Berrien, and Billy. She didn't come with her, first, she had no interest in this kind of activity, and secondly, she also needed a general to sit on the ship, so that some dangerous sea creatures suddenly popped out and sank the fate officer.

It is said to be an expedition, but Zero does not mean that it is not ready to go deep into the island. Think of it as a break in the middle of a voyage, spend a day or two near the shore of the island, and leave when the weather is stable. After all, no one knew what would be on the island, and while it was unlikely that anything would threaten them, Zero didn't want to get into trouble. There is no opinion on his decision.

After passing the rocky beach on the shore, there is a tropical jungle. The tall coconut trees were full of fruits, Haiwei climbed up like a monkey and knocked down a few, and Yeliu cut them with a dark thread, and inside was sweet coconut water and thick fruits. After Zero tasted it and made sure that there were no toxins, the others ate and drank a coconut fruit in their hands. This jungle is so vast that there is almost no edge in sight. In addition to the coconut palm, there are other ferns and trees that grow widely, forming a natural windbreak.

The jungle was very humid because of the rain that had just fallen. The ecology is also very rich, with some three-eyed monkeys that have evolved a thin fleshy membrane between their limbs to fly through the trees, aiming for edible fruits like coconut fruits. However, some tall trees are inhabited by anomalous pythons with almost the same skin as trees, and when the monkeys pick their fruits, they will silently bite from behind.

The three eyes of those deviant monkeys can look in different directions and have a wide range of observations. They are also very agile themselves, and nine out of ten blows from the python miss. But there are so many monkeys that the python can always find something to eat.

However, the python is not without natural predators, as it is now. A giant python had just swallowed a monkey, and suddenly a sharp sound sounded in the sky, and a giant eagle as big as a lion and tiger pounced down, grabbed the python and flew into the sky. As it flies, it pecks it with its steel-like beak, and with each bite, it can always tear off a piece of the python's flesh, and the giant snake immediately sprinkles a large amount of blood from the sky. It was not willing to be a good meal for others, but it circled its body and rolled towards the giant eagle, so an eagle and a python fought in the air, and finally staggered and disappeared into the sky.

"It's a dangerous place. Kaede sighed, holding the Tang knife horizontally, and the tip of the knife nailed a python that had swam silently down from the tree to the trunk.

Hai Wei shook her head and said, "It looks like you're more dangerous." ”

Feng immediately glared angrily, slapped his palms and said, "The situation in the forest is unknown, so don't go deeper, just rest around here." ”

"In that case, let's roast this big snake and eat it. Haiwei drooled and said, "If you want to eat nutrients again, you will die!"

Zero shook his head and smiled, but he didn't object. So let Kaede peel off the skin and bones of the python, and then let Haiwei pick up some wood and light it together, and Zuihou put the whole giant snake up and roasted it horizontally on the fire. It didn't take long for the smell of meat wafting on the rocky beach. The smell of meat wafted into the jungle, and some bold monkeys came to the fire, not afraid of people, and pointed at the snake meat and squeaked.

"These guys are knowledgeable. Feng said, using a Tang knife to cut off a few pieces of roasted meat on the snake and throw them on the ground, and suddenly several monkeys grabbed it.

It turns out that these things are also meat eaters, but this is not surprising. Organisms in the new era tend to be carnivorous, which is more conducive to survival. Seeing the lions eating deliciously, Haiwei couldn't help it anymore, and shook Yeliu violently, and the latter dizzily cut off a large piece of snake meat with a dark line. Haiwei first tasted it, and then said with tears in her eyes: "It's so fragrant!"

"Then let's eat!" Zero said with a smile, these guys have been eating a lot of nutrients on the ship, and they have almost forgotten the taste of meat. He tasted it himself and thought it tasted really good, so he planned to go and get a few more. It's good to bake it and share it with other people on the boat to change the taste, and improve the meal. And this island seems to be quite rich in supplies, or you can consider picking melons and fruits, and making dry food with some eagles and snakes, and you don't need to eat nutrients every day.

Even Zero, who is not a picky eater, feels a little unbearable to eat nutrients every day, not to mention girls like Hevelia. They had tried to hunt aquatic creatures at sea before, but the radiation on those octopuses and other bodies exceeded the standard, and they couldn't eat them at all, so they had to give up. Now that this opportunity is available, it is naturally a good time to stock up on food.

While eating, Zero suddenly saw Leah turn her head and look towards the jungle.

"What's wrong?"

Leah said, "Someone's coming. ”

"People?"

"That's right. Leah affirmed that after being promoted to Insight Viewer, although she was not good at combat, she was much sharper in sensibility. The same creatures, the breath between humans and animals is never the same. It may be that for people with abilities like Zero, they can roughly sense the life response, but it is difficult to distinguish between humans and animals.

Zero immediately warned: "Attention, it may be the inhabitants of the island. If it is not necessary, try to minimize conflicts, after all, we still have to stay on other people's territory for two or three days. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rolled out of a handful of grass. That's right, not running or jumping, but rolling. Where the figure rolled over, a few rudimentary feathered arrows were swooped out from the dense forest. Although the feather arrows are rudimentary, they seem to be only sharpened with wooden branches as arrows, and feathers are used behind them until they balance the air current. But the body of the arrow looks like wood, but it has a metallic luster. The tip of the arrow was a miserable green, obviously poisonous. The color is bright, and it seems that this poison is not simple.

The figure bounced off the rocky beach after dodging a few feathered arrows, but it was a dark-skinned girl. The girl reminded Zero of Atesha, the girl who lived on Death Ridge. However, the girl in front of her is younger than Atesa, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but similar to Haiwei. The bandeau and wrap skirt on her body were sewn from the skin of some animal, and the workmanship was rudimentary, loose and not close-fitting. During the action, the scenery in the clothes loomed, and Kaede looked straight in the eye.

The girl has some kind of tattoo symbol on her back, and it is not known what it means. Her long hair is pinned with animal bones, and her whole person is full of a primitive tribal flavor. When she rolled onto the rocky beach, she was visibly stunned when she saw Zero and others. The girl jumped up like a frightened cat, her hands and feet on the ground, her head hunched up, and glaring angrily in the direction of the jungle.

Four figures flashed in the forest, all of them were dark-skinned men, with bows or knives in their hands, and their weapons and clothes were very primitive, and they could be seen to be the same as girls. These men also showed puzzled expressions when they saw Zero, obviously not sure who Zero was and they didn't want to act rashly.

The scene seemed so weird, and the three sides confronted each other like this. The black girl rolled her eyes and suddenly shouted at her pursuers: "Urpu, you are miserable! My helper has arrived, go back to the acquaintance!"

When she said this, Zero and several of the pursuers were moved at the same time. Those primitive people naturally thought that the object of their pursuit and murder had found so many helpers, but Zero thought that this girl was so quick and wise that he dragged them into the water with a simple sentence, so as to create a favorable environment for himself.

Sure enough, the four pursuers immediately let out a loud roar, some of them bent their bows and arrows, and the rest rushed towards them brandishing machetes. A feathered arrow broke through the air, but it was aimed at Leah. Zero stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow in his hand, and at the same time drank coldly: "Do it, fight quickly!"

Kaede, Yeliu and Haiwei pounced at the same time, and Haiwei also bit a piece of snake meat in her mouth, but she was unambiguous when she started to do it. Hai Wei, the youngest of these three people, also has the strength of the seventh order, and it is easy to deal with a few natives, and they will be killed silently in three or two clicks. Seeing that the situation was not right, Zuihou shouted and turned around and ran, but when an electric snake hit him and fell to the ground with a twitch, another piece of ice flame fell down, and he immediately froze and died.

The black girl's mouth was wide open, she wanted to use the strangers behind her to create a chaotic scene, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to get out. Unexpectedly, those usually fierce and vicious guys cooked for these people without much effort, and this shocking scene made her forget to slip away for a while. By the time she remembered, her hand had already been caught. When he turned around, it was a young man with black hair and yellow skin who caught him.

Zero looked at the girl and said lightly, "Okay, this young lady, do you owe us an explanation?"

When dusk came, it was raining again. In a natural cave eroded by the sea on the edge of the rocky beach, a bonfire is lit. The black girl was sitting by the fire and gobbling up snake meat, and Kaede returned to the cave before the rain and made an "OK" gesture to Zero, indicating that the bodies of the natives had sunk him into the sea.

After eating up a piece of snake meat in her hand, the girl was still reluctant to suck the meat fat on her fingers, looking at it like this, I don't know how many days I haven't eaten. When Hai Wei looked at her, she remembered that she was living alone in the Z7 base before she met Zero. Immediately sympathetic and handed her a bottle of clean water. The black girl was not polite, and poured it into her mouth. It's just that she drank too quickly and choked, and couldn't help coughing again and again.

After relieving herself, she returned the kettle to Hyvi and said to everyone, "Xiexie, strangers. ”

"What's your name, those people are going to hunt you down?" asked Hai Wei curiously.

The black girl lowered her head and said, "My name is Di Lei, and it was my uncle Horn's warrior who chased me just now. My only relative, but now he wants my life"

It turned out that there lived an indigenous tribe on this island, and they called themselves the Garans. Delei is the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Garan clan, her parents died when she was very young, and she was raised by her grandfather. Originally, the patriarch planned to pass on his position to his granddaughter, but before he could ask the sorcerer of the clan to hold a succession ceremony for Di Lei, the patriarch suddenly died violently.

Soon after, Dyree was hunted down by the chief's youngest son, her uncle Horn's men. In short, this is a power struggle that could not be more obvious. Things like this happen all the time.

After listening to this, Zero silently took out some dry food and clean water: "These things should be enough for you to eat for a while, and you can leave when the rain stops." Until then, rest in peace. ”

When the black girl Di Lei heard this, she said, "Powerful stranger, I want to plead with you. I beg you to help me, I can't let my uncle become the patriarch, he will bring the Garan to ruin. If you can help me, it should be a breeze for you. When it's over, I'll pay you enough!"

But after listening to it, Zero chose to be silent. But Haiwei couldn't help but say, "Head, and everyone." Anyway, we're going to stay on this island for a few days, so why don't we help her?"

Zero didn't say a word, walked back to his place and sat down. Haiwei looked at the others, but they didn't say anything, and the girl looked at Yeliu again and said, "Yeliu, what do you say?"

"That's enough, Haiwei!" Kaede suddenly said, "I know you sympathize with this girl, but we have something to do." Although we have to stay on this island now because of the weather, how do you know if this matter can be solved in three or two days? Besides, there are so many poor creatures in this world, how many do you think we can help?"

Kaede sighed, "We've done enough. ”
