I slowly opened my eyes and recalled everything that had happened. From encountering the pirates, to being kidnapped by the pirates, to encountering the sea monster on the pirate ship. Everything was shocking to me. I didn't expect it to be such an extraordinary journey.
I looked at the corpses around me. They were all captives of the pirates. Since my hands were still tied, I stood up with difficulty.
Looking around, I found that the hull of the ship had become dilapidated after being ravaged by the sea monster. The cabin was full of dead bodies, which made me feel sick.
Not far away, there was a spear stuck in the ground. Obviously, it was left behind when the pirates fought the sea monster. I turned around and stretched the rope that bound me to the tip of the spear. Finally, I was free. When I let go of my red hands, I felt an indescribable sense of freedom.
The people in the cabin didn't seem to have died for a long time because there was no smell of corpses in the cabin.
I didn't stop. I immediately ran to the deck to see what had happened. Since the hull was tilted, it took me some effort to get to the deck.
Standing on the tilted deck, I finally understood my current situation.
It turned out that the pirate ship had run aground on the beach of a small island. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
The cruelty of reality was in front of me. My first thought was to go to the cabin to find Avina.
All that was left of the pirate ship was an empty shell. The things inside had long been washed clean by the seawater. I looked for Avina among the corpses.
On a box next to a puddle of water, I saw a sled dog. It should be a noble's pet, which had been stolen by the pirates. The sled dog was slightly injured. When it saw me, it only barked twice.
I picked up the box and the sled dog. Then, I continued to look for Avina. I thought that Avina wouldn't be dead. Among the corpses, I finally found the unconscious Avina.
I walked to Avina. But at that moment, the cabin suddenly sank. Not good. I don't know what happened outside.
I immediately put down the sled dog and the box. Then, I ran to Avina and carried her on my back. Then I picked up the sled dog and the box and trudged up to the deck. With great difficulty, I reached the sloping deck and saw that the tide was rising. At this rate, the ship would be swept into the ocean.
I immediately placed the unconscious Avina and the sled dog on the shore far away from the beach. Then, I ran back to the damaged pirate ship.
Now, time was of the essence. Once the tide rose, the damaged pirate ship could be completely buried in the sea.
I entered the cabin one more time. While looking for survivors, I kept moving the materials out of the ship.
After more than three hours of struggle, I finally managed to move most of the things out of the ship, except for the corpses. The only thing I regret is that Aveena and I are the only ones who survived.
By the time I got out of the cabin for the last time, I was out of breath. However, at this time, the sea had risen very high, and the hull of the ship began to move slightly with the sea.
I managed to slide from the deck to the beach, and my thirst was unbearable. In less than half an hour, the damaged pirate ship finally broke apart under the waves and was swept into the deep sea.
I looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. Finding a place to stay for the night was the most important thing. I still didn't know if there were fierce beasts on this nameless island, but I didn't have any expectations.
These years of wilderness survival training had made me, a mercenary, very confident in surviving. First, I had to build a temporary shelter, preferably near a water source. No matter what, as long as I could survive the first night, I would slowly get better.
Fortunately, it didn't rain on the first night. Avina, the sled dog, and I safely spent the first night under the shelter I built. The next day, I went to the dense forest behind the beach to look for fresh water to drink. Fortunately, there was a small stream not far from the beach, and the water was very sweet. I immediately satisfied my craving for water. After drinking, I used the container I found on the ship to get some water for Avina.
I gave Avina some water, but Avina was still unconscious. I touched Avina's forehead and found that Avina had a fever.
What should I do? Without medicine in the wild, it was very difficult to treat a sick person. The sled dog kept barking on the side.
At this time, the sky started to drizzle.
Not good, I have to find a place to hide from the rain. I used the canvas I pulled from the ship to cover the "goods". I also took some food and water from the ship, some canvas, and left the coast with Avina on my back. The sled dog followed behind me.
After a while, the light rain turned into a heavy rain.
I came to a cave next to the stream. The cave was very dark. At this time, I felt extremely cold.
I used the axe I found on the ship to chop a few dry wooden boxes for wood, but how could I make a fire?
In a hurry, I carefully began to drill wood to make a fire. You know, this was a test of skill. But after a herculean effort, I finally made a spark. I put the flame on the dry things I had prepared in advance and slowly lit the fire. The burning firewood emitted heat, and the cave was suddenly illuminated.
It was raining heavily outside. I thought that Avina and I wouldn't have to worry about being frozen to death.
I took off my clothes and covered Avina with them. I was worried that Avina would catch a cold again. In this way, I gradually fell asleep while guarding the fire.
On the third day on the island, the first ray of sunlight shone into the cave next to the stream. I rubbed my eyes and stretched. Avina was still unconscious, which made me a little worried. At the same time, I realized that I still had a lot of work to do.
Last night's heavy rain filled the forest with the fragrance of the earth. I walked on the moist ground to find some herbs to treat Avina's illness.
Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain, but today's weather was particularly clear. I went to the beach where the "goods" were stored. I had to take a good inventory of the "goods" that I had saved.
Fortunately, I had wrapped the goods in canvas in advance, so they weren't soaked by the heavy rain last night.
I took a look and picked out the most useful things. Among all the things, I was most satisfied with the axe that I used to chop the coffin last night.
In this pile of "goods", there were a lot of preserved fruits, bacon, bread, and other foods. There were also two wooden barrels filled with fresh water. As for the herbs, I didn't find any. I found quite a number of pirate weapons in a long wooden crate among the "goods." However, in this pile of "goods", I found clothes the least. It didn't matter. After all, there was only me and Avina on this deserted island.
I moved the food and water back to the cave next to the stream. At this time, Avina was in a semi-conscious state. Avina seemed to be thirsty. I immediately opened the wooden barrel of fresh water and let Avina drink a few mouthfuls.
After drinking some water, Avina's condition improved significantly. Seeing that Avina's condition had stabilized, I continued to look for herbs for Avina. I relied on the rich wilderness survival knowledge that I had learned from the Old Hissed to easily find the herbs in this forest. Those poisonous grasses, poisonous insects, and so on, I can identify them at a glance and keep a respectful distance from them.
After picking some usable wild fruits, I finally found a medicinal herb called "Chamomile". This chamomile has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it also has the effect of raising one's spirit.
Wait for me, Avina. I'll heal you …. '
