Chapter 35: The Lost Island
After the excitement, Sawin turned to Eliza and asked, "Where is the land, and in which direction are we swimming?"
As soon as Eliza heard Savin's question, she immediately burst out laughing. Sawan blinked and asked, "What? Am I not right?"
Eliza laughed, "Fool, do you know how long it will take to swim if you swim there?"
"Are we far from land now?" asked Savan.
"Of course, we are in the middle of the ocean, and in either direction, we will have to swim for at least a month to reach land. Eliza said.
Sawin was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect the ocean to be so big, and he thought that it would only take two or three days to reach the land. "So how do we get there?" Sawan suddenly found that his knowledge was quite lacking, although he had learned a lot of human knowledge from Osiris, but now he still did not know much about the world.
Eliza said, "What are you anxious about? The land is far away, but you don't have to swim there on your own, just listen to me." ”
Sawin still didn't understand, but Eliza wouldn't say anything more, just let Sawin follow her. Eliza looked up at the starry sky to find her bearings, and then swam southwest with Savan.
The two chatted as they went, and Eliza knew more about the land than Savin, and along the way, it became as if Eliza was teaching Savin. Savin's questions were one after another, and Eliza took the trouble to answer them one by one, and before he knew it, the night had passed, and the dark sky was gradually turning white.
"It's getting dawn. Eliza said, pointing to the sky.
Sawin watched curiously as the sky lit up little by little, the clouds in the sky gradually turned rose-like red, and the colorful clouds filled the sky, as if in a magical space. Sawin was fascinated by the sight of such a beautiful sight in the world, when had he ever seen such a magnificent sight when he had been hiding in the depths of the ocean before.
"It's amazing, it's beautiful!" said Savin, heartily admiring.
"Hee-hee, you can see such a beautiful scenery every day in the future, let's hurry up. Eliza laughed.
As the sun gradually rose, the warm sunlight sprinkled on the sea, and the two of them swam leisurely on the sea, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun.
"It's so comfortable. "Sahain was sunbathing for the first time, and the warm water made him feel like his whole body was stretching out, and he almost fell asleep.
"You won't say that later. Eliza said with a smile, and then dived back into the water, following Sawan at the surface.
The sun rose higher and higher, slowly rising above the head, and the previously mild sunlight slowly became hot. The scorching sun was like a myriad of pins and needles, and it began to make Sawan feel more and more uncomfortable, and his skin seemed to be pricked by countless needles. "It's so uncomfortable, what's going on, it's like the skin is going to crack. Sawan was surprised.
At this time, Eliza suddenly emerged from the water, smiled and asked, "How is it?
"It's tingling, I don't know what's going on? Sawan said innocently.
"Fool, we creatures living in the sea can't be exposed to the sun for too long, otherwise our skin will be dry and cracked. Eliza said with experience.
"I see, I said why is it so uncomfortable. Sawan suddenly said, "Eliza, have you been to the sea many times before? ”
Eliza nodded, "Yes, I come to the sea many times a year, and I think it's almost a few months a year. ”
"What are you doing on the sea?" asked Savin.
"For fun, of course, and to help the clan hunt. Eliza said lightly.
"What can you hunt on the sea?"
"I'll tell you when I get there. Get out underwater, you're not too hot. Eliza went back underwater, and Sawin followed Eliza back below the surface.
The two of them swam for a long time, and Eliza's speed began to slow down, and it was obvious that she was already a little exhausted, and since her tail turned into legs, Eliza felt a lot more strained than before when she swam up, so her physical strength dropped much faster than before. Sawin saw it and asked, "How are you, Eliza, do you want to rest before leaving?"
Eliza shook her head and said, "No, I'm okay, let's keep going." ”
After walking for a while, Eliza's physical strength was obviously much weaker, and Sawin knew that he couldn't force it anymore, so he said, "Eliza, I'll take you away." After saying that, Sawan turned over and suddenly showed his original appearance, and a mighty dragon suddenly appeared in front of Eliza's eyes.
Eliza was startled, but saw Sawin say to her, "You sit on my back, and I'll take you away." ”
Eliza hesitated for a moment, and then slowly leaned on Savien's back, to be honest, Eliza was still a little scared when she saw Swain appear in her original form, although he knew that Swain would never hurt himself, but the natural fear of dragons in his heart was not so easy to eliminate.
Sawan turned around and said, "Be careful, take care of it." Then he wagged his tail and swam forward quickly.
Sawan is extremely fast in the water, although the ancestors of the dragons lived on land, but since moving to the ocean, the dragons' bodies have become extremely suitable for swimming in the water, and the dragons have also evolved fish-like respiratory organs so that they can live in the sea for thousands of years. Eliza sat on Savin's back, grabbed Savin's back spine with both hands, and only felt that Savin swam fast and steady, not to mention how comfortable it was to sit on his back, and before she knew it, Eliza gradually fell asleep......
The two walked in the sea for several days, and under Eliza's guidance, they finally reached their destination.
When Savin and Eliza resurfaced, they saw a thick white mist covering the vast sea, and even with the eyes of the dragons, they could only see the scene not far away. Savin, who saw the fog for the first time, was very surprised, and kept asking questions, this white fog is really interesting, you can see but you can't touch it, no matter how you move forward, you still can't see through what is hidden behind it.
Eliza said to Savin, "This sea is called the 'Misty Sea', and our destination is an island in the depths of this sea called 'Misty Island'. ”
"What's on this island, and why do we have to be here?" asked Savin.
"Wouldn't it be convenient for us to find a way to get on a human ship and let them take us to the mainland?" Eliza explained with a smile.
"How can it be ...... like this" Sawin was dumbfounded, he couldn't have thought of such a way, Eliza was so smart!
Seeing Savan's stupid appearance, Eliza smiled and said, "Look you're starting to be stupid again, let's go, let's hurry up and get to the island, there are a lot of interesting things there." ”
Seeing that the target was imminent, Savin's interest also rose, and he shouted, "Go!" and then pulled Eliza and swam towards the depths of the white mist.
Large and small reefs begin to appear on the surface of the sea in the depths of the sea fog, and there are even more reefs under the surface of the sea, which can be hit if you are not careful. Sawan found a jumble of broken wood and iron on many of the outcropping reefs, and the further he went, the more such sights he had, and even some broken hull wreckage, which could only be described as shocking.
"Eliza, how can there be so many shipwrecks here?" asked Sawan in surprise.
"These human ships are often disoriented due to fog, and once they enter this area, they can easily run aground, so this is the graveyard of ships. Eliza explained.
"It's a scary sight, and I don't like it at all. Sawan said.
"Actually, there are a lot of good things here, and those stranded ships are often abandoned by the seafarers and there are often a lot of goods that cannot be taken away, and a lot of the supplies of our merfolk are found here. Eliza said.
Led by Eliza, Sawan weaves his way through a labyrinth of reefs, a place where there are fewer wrecks of ships and more human bones, making the situation even more eerie and mysterious. It seems that many of the crew members who were killed fled here could not get out of the labyrinthine version of the reef, and finally died here.
Sawin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he really didn't like such a strange place, and always felt a strong aura of death, but Eliza didn't care, after the two passed through the reef jungle, a thick black mist suddenly appeared in front of them, making people feel as if they were in hell.
The black mist gave people the feeling of being depressed, as if they couldn't even breathe well, and Sawin asked, "How long is it until we get to the island?"
"Come on, we'll be there through this black fog. Eliza said.
Unable to discern direction in the dark fog, Savin could only follow Eliza and continue to swim into the depths of the black fog. After some time, Eliza suddenly said, "It's here!"
The black fog in front of me suddenly disappeared, replaced by the dazzling sunlight and the sparkling open sea, where countless seabirds soared, and in the distance, an island covered in green appeared.
"This is the Misty Isle!" Eliza shouted gleefully.
