GOR Chapter 34: Inescapable Demon's Island
"What? You said to use a wooden raft to leave this place? "Joanna frowned and cast a suspicious look at Du Wei." This is the good idea you came up with? You intend to rely on a small wooden raft to sail across the sea and bring us back to the mainland? You must have gone mad! "
Du Wei smiled and slowly spoke out his conjecture.
"I think this is very promising. You and Vivian, both of you are powerful magicians. Both of you can use any tool or mount to fly far away! Am I right? If your magic power is still present, you would have long used the Wind Flight Spell to leave this damned island, right? "
"Of course!" Joanna replied coldly. "If I could still fly, I would have left long ago."
"That is the problem," Du Wei smiled. "You have lost your magic power. However, according to my conjecture, the reason is not because of you, but because of this island! I suspect that there is something here that suppresses magic. For example, a barrier or something like an anti-magic domain … it is most likely related to the terrifying monster that you saw earlier. If so … I think, this magic suppressing barrier … how big is its range? Does it cover the entire island, or does it cover a small part of the surrounding sea? However, I think, at the very least, this range should not be too big. "
Joanna finally understood. There was no need for Du Wei to continue explaining. She continued. "So, you are not planning on using a small wooden raft to bring us back to the mainland. Instead, by using this small wooden raft to create this anti-magic barrier, Vivian and I will be able to recover our magic power. Then, we will be able to fly back to the mainland without using a wooden raft. Am I right? "
"That is correct," Du Wei nodded.
"But what if it doesn't work?" Joanna frowned. "What if your guess is wrong? I mean, it is very possible that Vivian and I have been hit by a type of magic. Even if we leave this island, our magic power will not be able to recover. Or rather, it will take a few days, or even a few months to recover? What should we do? Even if we get out of here, we won't be able to fly. With such a small raft, we will definitely die in the vast sea. "
"That's just a difference in the way we die." Du Wei raised his eyebrows. "I can tell you clearly … … if we don't leave this place, we will starve to death in at most two to three days. Although there were many trees on this island, there were very few plants whose roots could be eaten. I realized this when I was looking for food. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find food tomorrow. "
"We can fish!"
"Haha!" Du Wei laughed. "Fish? Go ahead and give it a try! Heavens … Yesterday, that monster caused a huge wave of water magic, and it was like an earthquake … With such a huge commotion, even if there were any schools of fish in the waters around the island, they would have been scared away! "
Although this idea sounded a little risky, Joanna thought about it carefully and felt that Du Wei's words made sense.
If they stayed, they would only starve to death. They might as well go out and fight.
The next step was to figure out how to build a wooden raft.
What made things difficult for them was … … they had no tools!
Even if they wanted to cut down trees to make a wooden raft … … they would need an axe, right?
Even if they did not have an axe, they could still barely use a sword!
However, Du Wei and the others did not even have a dagger, let alone a sword!
Although Joanna was also a warrior, it was a pity that her weapon of choice was a flute!
Without tools, cutting down trees with their bare hands? Du Wei and the others probably did not have that ability.
Even as a swordsman, Joanna did not have the ability to cut down a big tree with a palm strike.
Du Wei had initially thought of using Joanna's armour. Armour was made of metal after all. As long as they could get a piece of iron and sharpen it, it would barely be able to be used as a sword.
Unfortunately, Du Wei was quickly disappointed.
Joanna was not stingy with her magic armour. However, her armour was filled with hollow patterns. There was not even a single piece of iron the size of a palm!
However, after thinking about it, Du Wei still had a way!
Dragon scales!
No matter how much she loved her pet, Vivian still obediently agreed to let Du Wei peel off a few dragon scales.
Dragon scales were very strong and hard. In ancient times, there were even legendary heroes who used dragon scales to make strong shields.
Vivian used her remaining magic to appease her Flame Dragon. Du Wei boldly peeled off two dragon scales.
They spent another day finding a large rock by the sea. The two palm-sized dragon scales were sharpened to a point where they could barely be considered sharp.
The two women and one man spent another two days working.
Du Wei and Joanna cut down a few big trees. Vivian was responsible for tying these tree trunks together with tree vines.
Du Wei even used tree trunks to make a few paddles. He also ran out to find some large gourd-like things. These things could not only carry some fresh water, they could also be tied to the raft to increase its buoyancy.
Finally, Joanna donated her white cloak to make a sail.
When all the work was almost done, Vivian suddenly thought of a very important question!
"What about my, my, my dragon?" Poor little Vivian suddenly thought of such an important question!
The raft could not hold a dragon!
In fact, Du Wei and Joanna had already thought of this question, but they always felt that it was difficult to ask Vivian.
Vivian's pet dragon, originally when her magic was normal, she could use a kind of sealing magic to seal it and bring it everywhere. When she needed to use it, she could summon it out.
Unfortunately, now she did not have magic, so she could not seal the dragon and bring it along.
Du Wei and Joanna looked at each other. Facing Vivian's pitiful question, they felt that it was somewhat difficult to answer.
Vivian immediately understood, the silly little girl shed tears, "No! No! I, I, I don't want to leave my sun! My sun!! "
She cried as she ran over and threw herself onto the sleeping dragon. She hugged it tightly and refused to let go.
Du Wei sighed, looking at this simple little girl, Du Wei also felt a little guilty in his heart.
But what else could they do?
They could not bring such a big dragon away!
What's more, in Du Wei's heart … … he was not like the people in this world, who would treat a dragon as a powerful, great advanced creature.
In Du Wei's habitual thinking, human beings were the most important. Whether it was a dragon or a snake … … they all belonged to the category of "animals".
Human life was the most important. If a human life was sacrificed for an "animal", in Du Wei's view, it was simply an incomprehensible and stupid thing.
And on a deeper level … … hmph, if it was not for Vivian's face, he even had the heart to kill this big "animal" and use its meat to make dry food.
But in that case, perhaps Vivian would cry to death on the spot.
Although Vivian did not want to leave her baby dragon, Du Wei and Joanna still forcibly brought her along.
What made Du Wei slightly surprised was that this vicious woman actually showed a rare gentleness to her sister this time.
"Don't be surprised." Joanna was already familiar with Du Wei, looking at his eyes, she knew what was in his mind, "I also just lost my dragon, I can understand this little guy's sadness."
Du Wei saw, in Joanna's eyes, there was also a trace of deep sadness.
The two girls sat on the wooden raft, Du Wei pushed the raft into the sea from behind, then he turned over and jumped on, Joanna controlled the sails, Du Wei picked up the wooden oars and used all his strength to paddle.
Only the pitiful little Vivian was forced to sit on the wooden raft by the two of them, silently crying as she looked at the small island behind her … … Here, was her pet dragon.
The waves were very small, this was very fortunate.
But Du Wei and Joanna both looked very nervous.
Because the two of them were praying … …
They only hoped that in the process of moving forward, they would not encounter that monster! That monster could lurk in the sea and attack a dragon … … If the monster had its eyes on them, overturning this small wooden raft would be an easy matter.
Du Wei only hoped that the few of them could quietly leave this small island, and then hope that the two magicians could fly.
"Almighty God, bless us … …" Joanna murmured.
Rowing with all his strength was a bit too strenuous for a thin and weak youth like Du Wei, but under the urge to escape and survive, he still did his best to persevere. Although his arms were a bit sore, Du Wei still clenched his teeth and persevered.
Visually, they were at least two hundred meters away from the shore.
"How do you feel?" Du Wei asked Joanna loudly.
"No, still no good." Joanna tried to summon a wind magic to strengthen the sail, but it was a pity that it did not work.
"Continue to work hard." Du Wei clenched his teeth and said.
However, it seemed that the God of this world was not destined to bless a heretic like Du Wei.
Just as the small wooden raft moved forward about a hundred meters … …
Suddenly, a huge wave rose from the sea! Abruptly, the terrifying roar that once caused people's hearts to palpitate appeared once again!
Then, under the terrified gazes of the three of them, a huge wave about four to five meters tall suddenly rose from the calm sea, roaring as it rolled towards the small wooden raft!
With a boom, the huge wave slammed against the wooden raft, breaking the vines on the wooden raft into pieces, and the three of them fell into the water at almost the same time … …
Du Wei only felt that the moment his body fell into the sea, there seemed to be a force within the sea that bound him!
He was unable to move his body, and when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of sea water poured in. Du Wei thought that he was about to die, his vision turned black, and in the sea, a whirlpool wrapped around him, quickly dragging him down … …
Du Wei felt as though he was sinking … … sinking … …
