Chapter 34 [Escape from the Magic Island] (two more chapters)
Chapter 34 [Escape from the Demonic Island] (two chapters in a row)
"What? You said we can leave here on a raft?" Joanna frowned and looked at Duwei with suspicion: "Is this the good idea you came up with? You plan to sail on the sea on a small raft and take us back.
To the mainland? You must be crazy!"
Du Wei smiled and slowly expressed his guess:
"I think this is very promising. You and Vivian, both of you are powerful magicians. You can fly very far using any tool or mount! Am I right? If now
If your magic power was still there, you would have used your wind-type flying skills to leave this damn island long ago, right?"
"Of course!" Joanna said coldly: "If I could still fly, I would have left long ago."
"That's the problem." Du Wei smiled and said, "You have lost your magic. But according to my guess, the reason is not with you, but with this island! I suspect there may be something that suppresses magic here.
For example, something like an enchantment, or a forbidden magic realm... it's probably related to that scary monster you saw. So... I think, how big can this magic-suppressing enchantment be...
?Does it cover the island tightly, or does it add a small part of the surrounding sea area? But I think, at least for sure, this range should not be very large."
Joanna finally understood. Without Du Wei's explanation, she went on: "So, you are not planning to use a small raft to take us back to the mainland through the sea. Instead, you only need to use this small raft to draw out this forbidden area."
After the magic barrier is restored, Vivian and I can fly back to the mainland without a raft. Right?"
"That's right." Du Wei nodded.
"But what if it doesn't work?" Joanna frowned: "What if you guessed wrong? I mean, it's very possible that Vivian and I have been under a kind of magic, and our magic power can't be used even if we leave this island.
What about recovery? In other words, how many days or even months will it take to recover? What should we do? Even if we paddle out of here, we can't fly. With such a small raft, we will definitely die in the vast ocean.
of."
"That's just a different way of dying." Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "I can tell you clearly... If we don't leave here, we will starve to death in two or three days at most. This island
Although there are many trees, there are very few plants with edible roots. I have already discovered this when I was looking for food, and I can’t guarantee that I will still be able to find something to eat tomorrow.”
"We can fish!"
"Haha!" Du Wei laughed: "Fish? You go and try it! God... The huge wave of water magic caused by the monster yesterday was like an earthquake... Such a huge movement, even if the people around this island
Any schools of fish in the sea have been scared away long ago!"
Although this note sounded a bit risky, after Joanna thought about it carefully, she also felt that what Du Wei said made sense.
If you stay here, you will only starve to death, so why not go out and try your best?
The next step is how to make a raft.
What makes it difficult for everyone is...there are no tools in hand!
Even if you have to chop down trees to make a raft...you have to have an ax, right?
Even if you don’t have an axe, you can still use it with a knife!
But Du Wei and the others don't even have daggers, let alone knives!
Although Joanna is also a warrior, the weapon she uses is a flute!
Cutting down trees with bare hands without tools? People like Du Wei probably don't have that ability.
Even Joanna, who is a swordsman, does not have the magical ability to break a big tree with one palm.
Du Wei initially focused on Joanna's armor. After all, the armor was made of metal. As long as you got a piece of iron and sharpened it, it could barely be used as a knife.
Unfortunately, Du Wei soon became disappointed.
Joanna was not stingy with her magic-blessed armor, but her armor was full of hollow patterns, not even a complete piece of iron as big as a palm!
But after careful consideration, Du Wei still had a way!
Dragon scales!
No matter how much she felt sorry for her pet, Vivian still obediently agreed to Du Wei peeling off a few dragon scales.
Dragon scales are very strong and hard. In ancient times, legendary heroes even used dragon scales to make strong shields.
Vivian used the little remaining magic power to calm her flame dragon, and Du Wei boldly peeled off two dragon scales.
I spent another day looking for a big rock on the beach, and the two palm-sized dragon scales were ground to a barely sharp edge.
The two women and one man spent another two days working.
Duwei and Joanna cut down several large trees, and Vivian was responsible for tying the trunks together with vines.
Du Wei even made some oars from tree trunks. He ran out to find some big gourd-like things and came back. These things could not only carry some fresh water, but could also be tied to the raft to increase buoyancy.
Finally, Joanna donated her white cloak to make a sail.
When all the work was almost finished, Vivian suddenly remembered a very important question!
"What should I do with my dragon?" Poor little Vivian suddenly remembered such a crucial question!
The raft cannot hold a dragon!
In fact, Du Wei and Joanna had already thought of this problem, but they always found it difficult to ask Vivian.
Vivian's pet dragon could originally be sealed with a sealing magic and carried around when her magic was normal. She could just summon it when using it.
Unfortunately, now that she has no magic, she cannot seal the dragon and take it away with her.
Du Wei and Joanna looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed to answer Vivian's pitiful question.
Vivian understood immediately, and the little silly girl shed tears: "No! No! I, I, I don't want to throw away my scorching sun!! My scorching sun!!"
She cried and ran over, threw herself on the sleeping dragon, and hugged him tightly and would not let go.
Du Wei sighed. Looking at this innocent little girl, Du Wei also felt a little guilty in his heart.
But what if this is not the case?
They can't take away such a big dragon!
What's more, deep in Du Wei's heart... he doesn't think of a dragon as some powerful, great advanced creature like people in this world.
In Du Wei's usual thinking: Talent is the most important. Whether it's a dragon or a snake... they all just belong to the category of "animals".
Human life is the most important thing. To sacrifice a human life for an "animal" is simply incomprehensible stupidity in Du Wei's opinion.
And on a deeper level... Well, if it wasn't for Vivian's sake, he would even have the intention to kill this big "animal" and use its meat to make dry food.
But in that case, Vivian would probably cry to death on the spot.
Although Vivian refused to leave her precious dragon, Duwei and Joanna still forcibly took her with them.
Du Wei was slightly surprised that the vicious woman showed rare tenderness to his sister this time.
"No need to be surprised." Joanna was already somewhat familiar with Duwei, and she could tell by looking at his eyes what was going on in his mind: "I also just lost my dragon, and I can feel the sadness of this little guy.
"
Du Wei saw that there was also a trace of deep sadness in Joanna's eyes.
The two girls sat on the raft. Duwei pushed the raft into the sea hard from behind, then he turned over and jumped on. Joanna controlled the sail, and Duwei picked up the wooden oar and started paddling hard.
Only poor little Vivian was forcibly brought up by two people and sat on the raft, shedding tears silently and looking at the small island behind her... Here, there was also her pet dragon.
The waves are very small, which is lucky.
However, both Du Wei and Joanna looked nervous.
Because both of them are praying...
I just hope that they will never encounter that monster as they move forward! That monster can lurk in the sea and attack a dragon... So if the monster targets them and overturns this small raft, it will almost be a disaster.
A piece of cake.
Du Wei only hoped that a few of his party could quietly leave the island for some distance, and then hoped that the two magicians could fly.
"Almighty God, protect us..." Joanna murmured.
The vigorous rowing was too strenuous for a thin young man like Du Wei. However, inspired by the desire to escape and survive, he still persevered. Although his arms were a little sore, Du Wei still gritted his teeth and persisted.
From a visual inspection, it is at least two hundred meters away from the coast.
"How do you feel?" Duwei asked Joanna loudly.
"No, it still doesn't work." Joanna tried to summon a wind magic to strengthen the sail, but unfortunately it still didn't work.
"Keep working hard." Du Wei gritted his teeth and said.
However, it seems that the gods of this world are not destined to bless a pagan like Du Wei.
Just when the small raft rowed about a hundred meters further...
Suddenly, huge waves suddenly rose on the sea! Suddenly, the terrifying roar that once made people's hearts tremble appeared again!
Then, in the horrified eyes of the three people, a huge wave about four or five meters high suddenly rolled up from the calm sea and roared towards the small raft!
With a bang, the vines on the raft immediately broke under the pounding of huge waves, and the raft fell into pieces. The three of them fell into the water almost at the same time...
Du Wei only felt that the moment his whole body fell into the sea water, there seemed to be a force restraining him in the sea water!
He couldn't move his whole body. As soon as he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of seawater poured in. Du Wei thought he was going to die. His eyes were turning black, and in the seawater, a vortex caught him and quickly moved downwards.
Drag it on...
Du Wei felt as if he was sinking... and sinking...
