alien island

After XX days...

Zhang Yao, with a pale face, lay down on the deck of the wooden boat house, avoiding the direct sunlight coming in from the outside.

Although it has been used like a coconut, the meat in the blue nut shell fruit is dug out and rubbed into oil, and applied to the whole body for sun protection.But the intensity of sunlight on the sea is even more terrifying than on the island. Not only the sun's rays, but also the heat absorption degree of the color of the 'floating wood' itself and the light refracted from the sea surface make the temperature on the whole boat more elevated.

They had just weathered a huge storm last night.The rain poured down from the sky, the continuous lightning, the roaring thunder, and the huge waves raised almost smashed their boats in the sea.For the vast and boundless sea, their wooden boats are too small, and they can only roll back and forth with the big waves.I don't know if the boat is really strong enough, or they are lucky. After tossing in the storm for most of the night, the sea finally regained a little calm, the rain began to gradually decrease, and the thunder and lightning disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Yao, who grew up living by the sea, and Pei Yan, who had a strong will to survive on the island, survived the storm. At the same time, the other two, who were about to be thrown out by the huge waves, They were all dragged back, so that they were not swallowed by the furious sea.Zhang Yao didn't expect that although the color of the sea was different from the seas he had seen in normal times, its temper was quite similar.

In the second half of the night, the rain continued to fall, but the weather situation has improved a lot.Zhang Yao and Pei Yan hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to find containers to catch the precious rainwater.After all, the four of them were on the boat, and they just drank the juice from the fruit, which was not very good, and they were prone to diarrhea or something.Now they have the opportunity to receive fresh water, but it is a rare opportunity. Naturally, they need to get more water for storage.

When it started to rain, they wanted to come to fetch water, but they didn't expect that the weather would turn into a severe storm and heavy rain.The rainwater they collected at the beginning was turbulent by the bad weather and huge waves, and a lot of them fell out, and many containers fell out of the boat, so they didn't receive much water at all.Now, the bad weather has finally calmed down, and it is safe to come to get some water.

As for the other two brats, their complexions haven't been very good these days since they got on the boat, and they started to get more and more gloomy.After all, they both grew up in the city and had never experienced the life of drifting on the sea. The huge undulating waves constantly bumped the wooden boat and swayed it. Even the two of them who usually don't get motion sickness and airsickness are both fainted on the boat now.Although it's not to the point where I want to spit it out, I still don't feel very comfortable these days drifting at sea.

After the baptism of the storm, the two little devils finally collapsed on the outer edge of the deck and vomited into the sea water.They were dizzy by the shaking of the boat, until Zhang Yao and Pei Yan packed up the containers that caught the rainwater, they hadn't gotten up from the deck yet.As long as they moved a little, the two of them immediately wanted to vomit again, so they could only continue to spread out on the spot like dead dogs.

Therefore, Zhang Yao let the two little ghosts rest well, and he himself took charge of steering and sailing the boat all night until the current daytime.The scenery outside was calm and the sea was as usual, so Zhang Yao wanted to take a breath first, so he lay down on the deck, ready to take a nap with his eyes closed.The current weather made his whole body extremely hot, and his skin, which was originally wheat-colored, became darker and darker, almost rivaling Pei Yan's dark skin.

Zhang Yao, who was covering his eyes with his arms to block the sunlight, and closed his eyes, heard the sound of footsteps entering the cabin.Then, drops of water-like cold liquid fell on his cheeks. Zhang Yao moved his hands away a little, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Yan who was squatting beside him, looking intently at him.

Seeing Zhang Yao open his eyes, Pei Yan leaned down, supported the wooden deck with one hand, and gently pecked Zhang Yao's lips.Then, he tied the tree vines and heavy objects in his hands in the morning, and threw them into the sea to soak them. When the ice effect cooled the fruit, he pried open a hole in the upper shell, and wanted to give Zhang Yao the sweet and thirst-quenching juice inside. It has a good cooling and cooling effect.

Taking the round fruit still dripping from Pei Yan's hands, Zhang Yao supported his upper body with his elbows, took a big sip, and felt that his whole body was indeed much more comfortable, cooling down his hot body.Before he could pour his big mouthfuls into his mouth, and wiped off the juice leaking from the corner of his mouth unintentionally, the edge of his mouth was first licked clean by Pei Yan, who was squatting next to him, stretched his head over.

"Hey! Are you really a dog?" Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows, resigned to Pei Yan's actions.It seems that wild beasts have raised Pei Yan, and these habits have always deeply affected Pei Yan. No matter how many times he corrects, explains and warns, he still likes to lick people so much.Holding Pei Yan's head with one hand, Zhang Yao continued to drink the juice from the fruit in his hand. If Pei Yan licked it so intimately, the juice would only get hotter the more he drank it, right?

The strong sunlight that was originally projected into the wooden house suddenly seemed to be much darker, and the entire wooden house became dark.Zhang Yao frowned, feeling a little strange, and heard Xiang Chen's shout from outside: "Zhang Yao, come out and have a look, there seems to be something in front!"

"What?!" Hearing Xiang Chen's shout, Zhang Yao immediately turned over from the ground, and threw the empty fruit shell in his hand to Pei Yan who was behind, and stepped outside the wooden house.At the very front of the ship's deck, Xiang Chen and Ke Yiqiao were lying on the railing, stretching their necks and trying to look forward.

Zhang Yao raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment. The blue sky, which was originally clear and cloudless, had been surrounded by fog since he didn't know when.However, these fogs are not the strange purple fogs with unpleasant smells that make Zhang Yao sensitive and alert, but the white fogs that look very ordinary.

The fog, from thin to thick, gradually covered the color of the sky, including the original fierce sunlight, which was completely blocked.The surrounding endless sea area was gradually shrouded by these fogs, and everything looked hazy, making it difficult to distinguish the direction.

The two little ghosts yelled for Zhang Yao to come out and see what Zhang Yao had seen now. In front of their boat, a large black shadow was gradually appearing, and he was not sure what it was.After walking forward for a few more steps, Zhang Yao also stood by the guardrail of the bow, looking carefully ahead.

For many days, Zhang Yao hadn't seen anything other than sea water. He almost thought that the boat the four of them were on might just drift on the sea until they ran out of food.As a matter of fact, their food is almost exhausted, and after a few more days, there is probably nothing left to eat.So now, when Zhang Yao saw the black shadow obscured by the fog in front of him, he was both a little excited and inexplicably nervous.

I don't know if the front may be some kind of "mirage" in the legend, in fact, everything is just a phantom they saw...

But Zhang Yao still sincerely hoped that the black shadow object that appeared in front of him would be real, not a phantom created by the sea.If it is true, they can be saved.In order to confirm, Zhang Yao asked Pei Yan who followed him unknowingly and was standing behind him: "The one in front, is it land?"

Pei Yan, who narrowed his light brown pupils and was also watching the black shadow in front of him, nodded slowly.It was determined that the blurry black shadow surrounded by fog in front was a piece of land.The size of the width spread left and right is many times larger than the island they left. I don't know what kind of place it is.

"Land? Have we found land?" After drifting on the sea, you can truly understand how wonderful it is to have a sense of security with your feet on a solid and stable ground.Ke Yiqiao looked at the blurred shadows in the distance ahead, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart. She desperately hoped that the land in front of her would be their country, or any place she knew.Now she really hopes to see all normal creatures and people, and return to her original peaceful life.

"Then where are we going now?" Even if he didn't have the will, Xiang Chen noticed the current direction of the current and was pushing their boat in the forward direction.Now he turned his head and asked Zhang Yao with some longing and some doubts.

"Of course, do you still want to continue to vomit on the boat? We are running out of food, and we will starve to death if we stay on the boat any longer. MD, I finally saw land before starving to death." Zhang Yao looked at The outline of the black shadow in front became bigger and more obvious as he walked forward, he opened his mouth and replied.

But Pei Yan doesn't care whether he stays on land or at sea, as long as Zhang Yao is by his side, it doesn't matter where he goes.So I don't have any opinions to express. I just habitually stretched out my hand from behind and circled Zhang Yao who was lying on the railing in front. His tall body was like a large animal behind Zhang Yao, coquettishly rubbing against Zhang Yao the nape of the neck.

Zhang Yao calmly ignored Pei Yan's 'harassment', and signaled everyone to prepare to pack their things, control the sail and direction of the boat, and continue heading towards the mainland that emerged from the mist ahead.Hopefully, the place they will go this time is a normal land that can return to the civilized world.Since the color of the surrounding fog is still normal, it should be...no problem...

Zhang Yao looked at the white mist on both sides, it was as ordinary as he used to see, but he felt more at ease.

The boat of 'Floating Wood' drifted slowly towards the black shadowed land.

And this piece of land that Zhang Yao and the others discovered was covered by thick white mist. To be precise, it was still an island...

This island is many times larger than the island that Zhang Yao and the others left before.The purple mist that Zhang Yao was worried about encountered was slowly drifting out of the black raised peaks in the central area of ​​the island, and merged into the surrounding black rock environment.

Purple hot and pungent lava slowly flowed out from the cracks in the black mesh rocks on the ground.In the circle of ground centered on the volcano, not a single blade of grass grows, and there are almost no living things, surviving under the erosion of this circle of black rock and lava.

And on the periphery of the island, there is a circle of towering and steep cliffs tens of meters high, almost covering the entire periphery of the island.The environment inside can hardly be seen from the outside, and you can only look up to see the rocky cliffs in the outer circle.Bypassing these steep rock walls formed around the island and entering inwards, the environment seems to have changed again.

Clear, clean, translucent streams flow through the surroundings, which are covered with normal green-colored, resembling cycads and ferns.On the edge of the short grass plants, there are many trees, which are extremely prosperous.Plants similar to cycads, conifers and ginkgoes are distributed throughout the island.These different green plants are all lush and lush, like a green ocean.It seems that they look similar to the plants that can be seen normally, and they are not as weird and unique as the animals and plants growing on the island where Zhang Yao and the others stayed before.

At this time, a long cry suddenly resounded through the clouds.A black shadow flew out from the top of a tall plant similar to a cycad tree, and the wind from the fan stirred the leaves of the plants below until they began to shake violently.A creature with a wingspan of at least 12 meters flew into the air, hovering and waving its wings. Inside the long and narrow orange mouth, there were two rows of extremely sharp serrated teeth, which fully explained The feeding habits of the creature.

After one flew out, it caused a commotion in a large group behind. Soon, the leaves of the plants growing underneath began to swing left and right again. Dozens of giant creatures the size of an airplane spread their wings and flew into the air, circling.This movement alarmed another creature drinking water by the stream. It was disturbed by the black shadow flying and circling in the air, and began to tilt its head upwards.

The constantly raised neck reached a length of more than ten meters, and the plants around it that were originally thought to be of normal size, like these giant creatures, actually grew in very large proportions.All kinds of huge abnormal creatures are actively living in the area covered by green plants on this island.

Zhang Yao and Pei Yan, who were sailing over, didn't know that the island they were about to land on was not as 'normal' as they expected...
