Chapter 420: Isolated Island in the Sea
Outside the window is the rough sea.
The waves were like roaring beasts, hitting the broken body of the cruise ship again and again, and every impact was heart-pounding.
The lower level of the cruise ship had already been completely submerged in the dark sea water.
Xiao Jin could only vaguely see the outlines of the mutant octopus tentacles, dancing wildly in the undercurrent, as if celebrating the fact that its prey was about to fall into its palm.
The moment she rushed out of the cruise ship, the sea breeze cut across Xiao Jin's face like a sharp blade, but she had no time to care about it. Instead, she gathered all her strength and suddenly spread her ice-blue wings.
There was a slight chill on the wings, which instantly filled the air around them.
The wings flapped for the first time, bringing up a quick and powerful sound of wind. Xiao Jin's body seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, and with a whoosh, he rushed upwards like an arrow.
The cruise ship below was shrinking rapidly against the backdrop of the two people, while the suction force of the whirlpool followed them like a shadow.
Because of the actions of the mutant giant octopus, the cruise ship was dragged to the bottom of the sea and a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface.
Suction continued to come from under the feet of the two people, like an invisible giant hand, trying to pull Xiao Jin and Cen Nian back into the endless abyss.
Xiao Jin's eyes were determined, and her wings flapped at an astonishing frequency. Her figure drew a graceful arc in the air, as steady as a mountain, without any sign of wavering.
The surrounding air seemed to be cut by her wings, forming tiny air vortices.
Xiao Jin was fully focused, constantly adjusting her flying posture and altitude. Not long after, she felt the suction force from below suddenly weakened until it completely disappeared.
Only then did she dare to relax her tense body slightly and slowly stop flapping her wings.
The two of them were suspended above the cruise ship.
Xiao Jin tightly grasped Cen Nian's collar with one hand, and his ice-blue wings fluttered gently in the breeze, emitting a faint silver light with every flap, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Cen Nian was hanging in the air hundreds of meters high, but there was no trace of fear on his face. He looked at the cruise ship gradually going away below and the sea shrouded in night, and a shock surged in his heart.
"Hiss~" Cen Nian took a deep breath.
"The ship just disappeared? And those people..."
Cen Nian was talking about the survivors on the cruise ship.
Dragged into the deep sea, they had no other fate but death.
Xiao Jin lowered his eyes silently, then turned sideways to look around, and saw several figures also floating in the air.
"Tsk~" Lu Jing had a dark face and seemed very unhappy.
After taking a glance at him, Xiao Jin finally understood why Lu Jing had such a sullen face.
He was standing on a flying prop that looked like a large cardboard box. No one knew what material the box was made of, but it could actually support a tall and strong man like Lu Jing.
He was standing inside the box, with the hanging bone whip wrapping around a player, who seemed to be one of Lu Jing's subordinates.
But then again, apart from him, all of Lu Jing's other brothers were missing. It was obvious that they must have died on the cruise ship.
What happened just now happened too quickly. Even Xiao Jin could only barely pull Cen Nian out, let alone the other players.
Wang Zixuan also had an unhappy expression on her face.
She sat sideways on the scepter that had appeared before. It turned out that it was not only a defensive tool, but also had the function of flying.
At this moment, the last two players around Wang Zixuan had disappeared, leaving her alone.
"You're making such a fuss." Lu Jing said rather unhappily. "All my people are about to die. What time is it now?"
All the people are really dead. Wang Zixuan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"4:!" Xiao Jin looked at the time.
"Good man, there's still a lot of time left, what do you say?" Lu Jing said this while looking at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin thought for a moment and then replied, "Let's find a place to stay first. I can handle it. Can you guys?"
Hearing this, Lu Jing curled his lips. It really won't work. The flying props in their hands are limited and can't last for half a day.
But if Xiao Jin said so, could she do it?
Lu Jing looked at the ice-blue wings behind Xiao Jin with curiosity. A hint of trance flashed in his eyes. It was so beautiful!
I don't know if it's talking about wings or something else...
Wang Zixuan had no objection, so Xiao Jin, who had the best eyesight, was responsible for finding a place to stay.
No one knew where the mutant giant octopus dragged them to, but judging from the speed of the Ark at the time, this place should be far away from the coast.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin planned to continue flying inside.
They flew for nearly half an hour. Lu Jing and Wang Zixuan became visibly anxious. Xiao Jin finally saw a small island.
After seeing this, there was no need for Xiao Jin to say anything. Lu Jing and the other person quickly activated the props under them and immediately turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the island.
They have to rush forward, the props will soon be used up, if they don’t get ashore, they will have to swim up!
………………
A moment later, Xiao Jin stepped steadily onto the mysterious island isolated in the ocean.
The sand under her feet was like delicate silk, gently wrapping around the soles of her shoes.
Cen Nian was gently put down by Xiao Jin, and his feet finally felt the solidity of the earth again. The long-lost sense of solidity instantly dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.
Phew~ I have never felt that walking is such a happy thing.
Xiao Jin's eyes wandered around. When she looked down from the air, she had already noticed that the island was very small.
Now that I've come up, I realize that I can basically see the end of the island at a glance. There's not much grass in the middle except for a few coconut trees.
At the same time, Lu Jing, who came early, was quite lazy. He found a dry beach and sat down casually.
His only remaining younger brother squatted aside with a wronged look on his face.
Needless to say, it was definitely disliked.
Not far away, Wang Zixuan was carefully applying ointment on her arm.
The injury was not serious. He was just slightly scratched by the debris flying when he was escaping from the cruise ship.
Later, Wang Zixuan was in a hurry to travel and had no chance to deal with it.
She moved gently and stood aside, keeping a long distance from Lu Jing. Her look of disdain was obvious.
"Brother Xiao Jin, take a rest!"
Cen Nian found a folding stool from the storage space and placed it in front of Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin had been holding him for the past half hour, and the other party must be tired. Thinking of this, Cen Nian couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
His flying prop was broken in the last dungeon. Flying props are hard to come by, and he has never come across a suitable one.
This time I really wasn't fully prepared!
"It's okay, you take a rest first, I'll go over there and take a look." Xiao Jin raised his chin towards the center of the island.
Cen Nian didn't force it: "Okay, be careful, and call me if anything happens."
