Chapter 1294 The Island of Death
When tired, he would sink into the sea and sleep for a while, then wake up and move on; when thirsty, he would raise his head and drink a few mouthfuls of rainwater, and when hungry, he would catch two fish to eat.
Joan doesn't know how long these days have passed.
At first, she tried to record the time according to the changes in day and night, but after missing it once or twice, the error changed from days to weeks, and then from weeks to months... Now she didn't know how long she had been swimming, but... at least it had been Has it been more than half a year?
When she thought of this, Joan felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. In fact, she had cried countless times, but her tears would soon merge into the sea water and become part of the sea.
So tired.
very tired.
You can't relax and float on the sea while sleeping, because that will attract ospreys or other predators. Even if you can't eat her, a peck will hurt you for several days, not to mention being hit by sea ghosts and those monster ships. possible.
In fact, in the past six months, Qiong has encountered the enemy unexpectedly several times.
Every time she felt like she was scared out of her wits.
Fortunately, she can always get rid of the opponent with speed, although sometimes she will accidentally add two or three wounds to her body.
The scales that His Majesty had praised were now mostly damaged, and the exposed skin looked like weird white spots. Because they had been soaked in water, some of the wounds were already showing signs of decay. What's even more disgusting is that the parasites regarded her as a new host and settled in her wound with their carapace on their backs. Every time they were pulled out, they would feel excruciating pain.
This body was not beautiful originally, but now it looked even uglier.
She missed Neverwinter's soft bed and Wendy's arms.
I miss the unrestrained life without worrying about safety.
In addition, although there are many edible fish in the sea, they can only be eaten raw. It was okay to do so before, but now I always feel the fishy smell lingering in my mouth.
She wants to eat flash-roasted chicken wings.
Thinking about Joan would make her cry, but even if the tears kept flowing out, she never stopped wagging her tail.
However...how long will it take to swim back to the starting point?
She is faster than most fish.
Even His Majesty's Yukikaze is far out of reach.
Based on the approximate time, the distance she has swam to now should be enough to travel from Neverwinter to the Shadow Islands five times, but why is there still no end in sight?
The world is round, Your Majesty... He couldn't lie to her, could he?
If His Majesty Roland really lied to her, and if she had a chance to see him in the future, she would...must scratch his face with scales!
However, you have to see it first...
Qiong took a deep breath and encouraged herself, never give up! She wants to come back to everyone!
A series of "acridine-acridine-acridine-" sounds floated on the sea.
A moment later, the same echo came from the distance, "Acridine - acridine -"
Qiong was shocked and looked in the direction of the source of the sound in disbelief - the weather today was not very good, there was always mist on the sea, and the visibility was less than a few kilometers, just like the Shadow Islands at low tide. . Seeing that she didn't find anything, she swam in that direction for dozens of minutes, and finally caught a black outline in the mist.
It looks... like a rock standing on the water.
Qiong couldn't help but feel happy.
She knows that due to visual effects, many seemingly inconspicuous objects on the sea are actually huge. If it can stand on the sea like a reef, it must not be that small. In addition, it can reflect its own cry, so it is probably a big mountain. Now that the mountains have appeared, can the land be far behind?
Could it be that what he saw was the Impasse Mountain Range?
Qiong suddenly felt endless strength emerging from his body. She increased her speed to the limit, shot a series of water splashes on the sea, and ran towards the black shadow.
As the distance gets closer, the black outline under the mist gradually appears.
It was indeed a big mountain, but at the foot of the mountain was not a western port, but a flat island. The island seems to be connected to the wider mainland behind it, but the two are too far apart to see clearly.
In any case, some land is better than none.
Joan gathered her energy and swam to the nearest beach on the island.
It was only after she landed that she noticed that this island was probably a bit larger than the largest Searing Fire Islands in the fjord. Except for the lush flat-topped mountains, there were almost no ups and downs, and it was as flat as a grassland.
In fact, it is indeed a grassland.
Compared with the barren islands in Qiong's impression, this place seems to be completely unaffected by the salty sea breeze and various harsh climate conditions. The grass under your feet is just enough to touch your ankles, and occasionally there are one or two small blooming flowers. She couldn't imagine why such a scene would appear in a place where a tsunami could destroy all vegetation. Coupled with the fog surrounding the island, the place actually feels like an isolated wonderland.
Turning her tail fin into legs, Qiong slowly walked toward the center of the island.
Gradually, more stone tablets appeared on the grass. She didn't notice it at first, but after a while she discovered that although these stone tablets were of different sizes, they were all arranged neatly.
And the closer you get to the center of the island, the more stone monuments there are, and they even form a circle at the back, and they are drawn inward little by little, as if they are erected around something.
She seemed to have seen such a scene before...
Qiong squatted down in front of a stone tablet and looked at the stele carefully - there were indeed traces of chiseling on it, but whether it was a random pattern or some kind of meaningful text, Qiong couldn't identify it. But what surprised her was that these stones were obviously filled with an old smell and were not covered with much dust, as if they had been taken care of regularly.
Could it be...does anyone live on this island?
After walking not far, Qiong suddenly froze.
A huge crater suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. It was probably several kilometers wide in circumference. Not to mention that the cave was bottomless, and the arc on the edge was extremely smooth. It could not be formed by natural collapse. And those stone tablets are arranged in layers around the sinkhole, forming "ripples" that spread out.
She vaguely remembered something and looked up at the sky - in the hazy mist, the outline of the red moon was still clearly discernible. Obviously one is on the dome and the other is at the foot, but the two are very similar in size, as if they were carved from the same mold. She even came up with a weird idea. If the red moon fell, it should just be able to fill the hole, right?
"Hello." At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Acridine————!" Qiong suddenly screamed in fright, turned around and took two steps back, hitting the stone tablet with a crash.
The latter also seemed to be frightened, and couldn't speak for a long time. It took a long time before he finally managed to say, "Um... are you okay?"
Only then did Joan realize that the speaker was not a monster, but a beautiful young woman. She was wearing a long white dress, and her long dark hair was divided into two bunches and fell down her chest. She looked fresh and refined, making people fall in love with her at first sight. She just looked a little at a loss, not knowing whether to come up and caress Qiong, or continue to watch from the sidelines.
"Yaya--"
Joan wanted to ask who you are, but all she came out was a series of screams. She hasn't talked to anyone for more than half a year, and her language skills have once again degraded to the level they used to be when she lived alone.
However, the other party seemed to understand her meaning, and there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes, but even so, she still answered with a smile.
"Me?...Just a watcher trapped here."
