Chapter 41: Island 24

The days passed day by day. Compared with when they came, the hovercraft at this time can almost be described as a turtle speed. The airflow valve equipped on the hovercraft to control the direction has no effect at all in the whirlpool. It can only go around. Drifting towards the center of the vortex in circles and circles.

In this case, the floating boat is obviously not as powerful as the old-fashioned boats with rudders on the bottom. As old Charlie said, old-fashioned boats only need to control the rudder and can reach Island No. 24 in one day. And now, several people have been floating on the whirlpool for four full days.

Fortunately, the top baffle of the hovercraft can be raised. Otherwise, the heavy humidity here and the huge temperature difference between day and night would be enough to make Joey unbearable. As for why Joey is the only one, I think everyone knows it. Be aware.

Joey calculated based on the map that he could reach Island No. 24 after dawn. He once asked Old Charlie what there was on the island. But Old Charlie immediately dismissed him with one sentence.

With excitement and anticipation, Joey quietly leaned against a small transparent window on the side of the hovercraft and looked at the scenery outside.

The whirlpool at night was pitch black. The rising water vapor in the air blocked the moonlight. So Joey didn't see a huge black shadow swimming directly under the hovercraft. It swam so easily. The whirlpool. The pulling force cannot let it move even a little bit.

Old Charlie's eyes opened. An invisible energy shot out from the bottom of the hovercraft. It pierced towards the black shadow like a sharp sword. However, it exploded when he was about to reach the black shadow. Transformed into the shape of a demon god.

"Woo~" A loud cry came from the black shadow's mouth. There was a hint of joy. Then, a tentacle-like thing stretched out from the black shadow and wrapped it around the hovercraft. It pulled the hovercraft. Head towards Island No. 24.

"What is it?" Joey couldn't see anything through the window, but he actually heard the cry just now.

"Go to sleep. We'll be there soon..." Old Charlie smiled mysteriously. Then he turned over and sat up.

"Ah, oh..." Joey obviously misunderstood the meaning of old Charlie's words. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In this sleep, Joey slept very soundly. The shaking that originally existed on the road seemed to have disappeared. The hovercraft actually moved forward very smoothly.

When Joey woke up, it was already broad daylight. He was the only one left on the hovercraft. He was shocked and immediately sat up from the hovercraft.

Where are the people? Where have they gone?

Joey looked at the surrounding environment. The hovercraft was parked smoothly on the top of a cliff. The cliff was nearly fifty meters higher than the whirlpool. The outside of the cliff was the whirlpool, and the inside was after a short downhill slope. A dense forest.

The cliff seems to have turned into a chasm that blocks the whirlpool, separating the forest from the whirlpool. The trees in the forest are quite tall. Some of them are almost as tall as the skyscrapers. And this trend becomes more obvious towards the center of the forest. An invisible aura seems to envelope the island, preventing the airflow above the vortex from entering.

Joey had no time to appreciate the scenery in the forest. While he was wondering why the hovercraft appeared on the top of the cliff, he was also deeply worried about the missing three people. There was also a crisis for his own future. .

"Swish." A sound of swaying vegetation came from the woods not far below Joey. He immediately lay down on the ground and stuck his head out to look down the slope on the side of the cliff.

A smaller figure with a braided flower hat on her head walked out of the woods. She held a wooden stick in one hand and a huge purple fruit in the other hand. She kept picking up the fruit as she walked. Taking a bite with relish. It was the "missing" Emily.

Joey stood up from the cliff with courage: "Hi. Emily. Where are Uncle Charlie and the seniors?"

Emily raised her head and looked at Joey standing on the cliff. She smiled happily and said, "Uncle Joey, you're awake. We saw you were sleeping soundly just now, so we didn't wake you up. Come down quickly." Grandpa Charlie and Teddy are in a cabin in the woods."

After Emily finished speaking, she waved to Joey. Joey looked around for a moment, but he couldn't find a way down. He was born as a student of Nanding Medical Department. Fighting is not something he is good at at all. His physique may be a little stronger than the average person, but the top of the cliff where he is is still nearly twenty meters away from the downward slope.

If he jumped down, he would be injured at least, and even disabled at worst.

Seemingly sensing Joey's concerns, Emily waved to the forest: "Barton, come out and pick up Uncle Joey."

Joey was still wondering who the Barton in Emily's mouth was. A huge black tentacle stretched out from the trees in the forest. The length of the tentacle was more than thirty meters. At the end of the tentacle, a huge bald head was connected. There are two huge eyes on both sides of the head. At this moment, they are staring closely at Joey on the cliff.

When Joey saw this monster, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground. This was actually an extremely huge squid.

Feeling the slimy tentacles of the squid wrapped around his waist, Joey raised his hands high and didn't even dare to touch them. There was a feeling of nausea in his heart. He held his breath for fear of smelling something strange and he wouldn't be able to bear it. Keep spitting it out.

After the giant squid put Joey next to Emily, he retracted his tentacles and continued to lurk into the dense trees.

Joey held it in for a while and then took a deep breath.

"Pfft~" Emily looked at Joey's embarrassment and couldn't help but chuckle. She handed the half-eaten purple fruit in front of Joey: "Here, Uncle Joey. You must be hungry, right?" .This is ambergris. It’s delicious.”

Joey took the ambergris fruit doubtfully, opened his mouth and took a small bite. But just this small bite, he couldn't stop. The ambergris fruit melted in his mouth, like eating a soft cake. Plus He didn't eat any fruits and vegetables at all during this period. He almost devoured the ambergris fruit. After eating, he even licked his lips with unsatisfied content.

"Hehe. I know you like to eat. Let's go. Let's go see Grandpa Charlie and Teddy." After Emily said that, she turned and walked into the woods behind her.

"It... won't attack me." Joey glanced worriedly in the direction of the giant squid just now.

"Don't worry. Barton is very kind. He won't attack others randomly at all. Just feel free to follow me." Emily waved her little hand up and down. Then she skipped towards the forest.
