However, he didn't know if it was his destiny, but at the last moment when the giant tooth was about to hit him, this sea king struggled frantically and escaped from the mouth of another sea king.

Looking at the tooth going away, Zhang Lie's heart was still beating rapidly and violently, but his whole body was so weak that he almost couldn't stand.

Fortunately, his sea king had given up fighting and fled, so Zhang Lie didn't fall again.

Ah Jin had woken up from his coma and saw what happened before:"Thank you, Captain"

"Saving my subordinates is my responsibility, no need to thank me."Zhang Lie replied, preparing to continue climbing:"This sea king is swimming to the surface of the sea, let's go up, the time to leave should be here!"

The two returned to the mouth, and this time they did not stop, but continued to crawl forward, and did not stop until they reached the outermost side, holding the lines on the teeth to stabilize their bodies.

Time became extremely slow under this kind of waiting, and every second was torture, for fear that he would still be in the deep sea when he opened his mouth.

When Zhang Lie was praying, he keenly felt that the ascent speed slowed down, and then a gap opened in front of him, and a ray of light penetrated in.

"Survived..." Zhang Lie whispered to himself when he saw the light, and then his voice became louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar:"Ajin, we survived!"

Ajin was about to answer, but a strong wind suddenly blew behind him, and he was caught off guard and swept into the sky. Zhang Lie's heart tightened, and he subconsciously clenched his teeth, but he reacted in an instant and loosened his hands, allowing the fishy strong wind to take him out.

Free from the cage, Zhang Lie flew in the air, feeling the bright sunshine and the slightly salty sea breeze. He felt so free for the first time in his life.

But the following fall gave him another excitement that was no less than the Upside Down Mountain. After falling into the sea, he discovered something bad.

"Ah Jin is gone."

Zhang Lie looked around and didn't see Ah Jin at all. However, there was some good news. In his sight, he saw a red island.

"No matter what, even though I don't know where it is, I have to go to the island first. As long as Jin is not stupid, he will definitely go there."

On the eastern coast of the island, Zhang Lie dragged his exhausted body out of the water, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

"I hate the sea!" Zhang Lie cursed as he took off his clothes and wrung them out.

It was fine when he was still wearing them, but after wringing them out, he felt uncomfortable all over. However, he didn't care about that now and got up and started to head towards the island.

As he explored deeper, Zhang Lie found that there was no vegetation on the island at all. There were reddish-brown hills and pits everywhere, which looked desolate.

Just when he thought it was a deserted island, a group of houses appeared in his sight.

"God bless, there are people on this island!"

Zhang Lie didn't care about much at this moment, and ran over, wanting to fill his stomach first.

However, when he got closer, he found that although there were many houses here, there was no one, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Zhang Lie walked around in it, but couldn't find any fresh water or food.

"Don't panic, stay calm." Zhang Lie suppressed his anxiety and began to analyze the situation."There are houses where people used to live. This at least proves that there are conditions for survival on this island. Let's look for more."

He continued to explore the island. Although the island is not big, it has a diameter of 20 kilometers. Zhang Lie walked around for two kilometers and did not find any human traces.

"Forget it, let's go back and catch some fish to eat raw, at least to replenish some energy before exploring."

As the saying goes, a lucky coincidence, Zhang Lie returned to the place where he landed, but he unexpectedly got something. He saw someone dumping something into the sea in the distance. Seeing this scene, he didn't want to catch fish anymore, he immediately ran over and finally arrived before the man left.

When he arrived nearby, Zhang Lie saw that it was an old man who was pushing a cart to dump garbage into the sea. This behavior was very common in this world, so Zhang Lie didn't care, and walked up to greet him very politely:

"Hello, old man. I just escaped from the sea and am thirsty and hungry. I hope you can help me."

"Shipwreck? Okay, it's almost noon, follow me."The old man looked Zhang Lie up and down, and believed it directly. He turned around and pushed the garbage truck away. Zhang Lie took the initiative to take the cart.

The two walked for an hour and came to a flat place, which was full of various fresh fish and vegetables.

""There are vegetables on this island?" Zhang Lie blurted out, then felt a little rude and explained:"I haven't seen any plants since I came to the island, so I'm a little surprised."

The old man was not angry:"You are right, there are no plants on this island, these things are all transported from outside."

Then the old man pointed to the room:"There is fresh water in the room, go drink it yourself, I'll get something to eat." While speaking, the old man started to make a fire, picked up a few processed fish, skewered them with iron rods, and put them on the fire to roast.

When Zhang Lie came out of the house, the old man seemed to have not chatted with anyone for a long time, and couldn't help saying:

"I don't know whether you are unlucky or lucky. You survived the disaster, but ended up on this island. Sigh, if you can leave, leave quickly. This island is not a good place."

Zhang Lie spread his hands and said,"I can't leave now. The ship and supplies are gone. The record pointer was broken before. I have a companion who should have arrived on the island. I have to find him."

"Tsk tsk, this is troublesome, you may never be able to leave."

Zhang Lie was stunned by these words, but before he started to ask, the old man started to talk about it himself:"This island is called Red Stone Island. I heard that it is red because the whole island is full of iron ore. The country that rules this island is the Iron Kingdom, which makes a living by selling iron ore."

Zhang Lie couldn't help but complain in his heart:"Iron Kingdom, I see red everywhere, it's better to call it the Fire Kingdom."

The old man naturally didn't know the point of the name, and continued:"Starting a few years ago, all the people on this island were forced to gather together and mine day and night, leaving us old people with no strength to do some logistics. If you are found by them, you will have to go mining too."

"Aren't you going to resist?"

"Of course we resisted, but the guards were too strong. Many people died in that resistance, and then we were given harder work. After that, no one dared to do it again. Besides, the king was with us, so it was hard to say anything."

"This…" If the king follows, can he force everyone to do the same? But looking at the old man’s expression, Zhang Lie couldn’t say it out loud.

After swallowing a few fish, Zhang Lie felt full of strength again. He clasped his fists to the old man, not caring whether the old man could understand or not:

"Thank you very much, old man. I am confident that I have some strength. I am going to discuss with the king to see if there is any way to get ships and supplies. I will also take a look at the situation of this island. Don't worry, I am an outsider and have nothing to do with you."

"Alas, I can see it from your eyes, so be careful, it is better to be alive than dead."

Zhang Lie waved his hand and walked towards the center of the island.
