Chapter 34: Escape from the Magic Island
Chapter 34: Escape from the Magic Island
"What? You say make a raft and get out of here? Joanna frowned and looked at Du Wei with skeptical eyes: "This is a good idea you came up with?" Are you going to sail the sea on a small raft and take us back to the mainland? You must be crazy!
Du Wei smiled, and he slowly said his guess:
"I think this is very promising. You, and Vivian, both of you are powerful magicians, and you can fly far with any tool or mount! Am I not wrong? If your magical power were still there now, you would have already left this damn island with the flying technique of the wind system, right?
"Of course!" Joanna said coldly: "If I could still fly, I would have left long ago."
"That's the problem." Du Wei laughed and said, "You guys have lost your magic. But according to my guess, the reason is not on you, but on this island! I suspect that there may be something suppressing magic here, such as some enchantment, or forbidden demon realm or something... Most of it has something to do with the big terrifying monster you see. So... I think, this enchantment that suppresses magic... How big can the scope be? Does it cover the island tightly, or is it added to a small part of the surrounding sea? But I think, at least surely, that the range shouldn't be huge.
Joanna finally understood, and without Du Wei's explanation, she had already continued: "So, you are not planning to use a small raft to take us back to the mainland to the sea. But as long as this small raft is used to draw out this forbidden enchantment, Vivian and I's magic power is restored, and we can fly back to the mainland without the 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 likely that Vivian and I both have a kind of magic, and our magic can't be restored even if we leave this island? Or will it take days, or even months, to recover? So what to do? Even if we carve out of here, we won't be able to fly. With just such a small raft, we will definitely die in the vast sea.
"That's just a different way of dying." Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "I can tell you very clearly... If we don't get out of here, two or three days at most, we're going to starve to death. Although there are many trees on this island, there are few plants whose roots can eat. I discovered this while looking for food, and I can't promise to find something to eat tomorrow.
"We can fish!"
"Haha!" Du Wei laughed: "Fish? You go and try it! Oh, my God... The huge waves of water magic caused by that monster yesterday are like earthquakes... Such a huge movement, even if there are any schools of fish in the sea around this island, they have long been scared away!
Although this attention sounded a bit risky, after Joanna thought about it, she also felt that what Du Wei said made sense.
If you stay, you can only starve to death, it is better to go out and fight.
The next step is how to make a raft.
What makes everyone embarrassed is... No tools in hand!
Even if you want to cut down trees to make rafts... You have to have an axe, right?
Even if you don't have an axe, you can barely use a knife!
But Du Wei, don't talk about knives, they don't even have a dagger!
Although Joanna is also a samurai, the weapon she uses is a flute!
Without tools, cut trees with bare hands? Du Wei and these people probably don't have that kind of ability.
Even Joanna, who is a swordsman, does not have the divine ability to break a large tree with one palm.
Du Wei started by hitting Joanna's armor. After all, the armor is metal, as long as you get a piece of iron and sharpen the blade, you can barely use it as a knife.
Unfortunately, Du Wei was soon disappointed.
Joanna did not skimp on her magic blessing armor, but her armor was full of hollow patterns, and there was not even a complete piece of iron the size of a slap!
But after thinking about it again, Du Wei still has a way!
Dragon scales!
No matter how much she felt sorry for her pet, Vivian obediently agreed to Du Wei peeling off a few pieces of dragon scales.
Dragon scales are so strong and hard that legendary heroes in ancient times even used dragon scales to make strong shields.
Vivian calmed her flame dragon with what little magic power remained, and Du Wei boldly removed two dragon scales.
It took another day to find a large rock on the seashore, and the two palm-sized dragon scales sharpened a barely sharp knife edge.
Two women and a man spent two more days working.
Du Wei and Joanna cut down several large trees, and Vivian was responsible for tying the trunks together with vines.
Du Wei even made some oars out of tree trunks. He ran out again to find some big gourd-like things, which could not only be packed with fresh water, but also tied to the raft to increase buoyancy.
Finally, Joanna donated her white cloak to make a sail.
When all the work was almost done, Vivian suddenly remembered a very important question!
"What about me, my dragon?" Poor little Vivian suddenly remembered such a crucial question!
A raft can't fit a dragon!
In fact, Du Wei and Joanna have long thought of this problem, but they have always found it difficult to open their mouths to Vivian.
Vivian's pet dragon could originally be sealed with a sealing magic when her magic was normal and carried around, and it could be summoned when she used it.
Unfortunately, now that she has no magic, she can't seal this dragon and take it with her.
Du Wei and Joanna looked at each other, and in the face of Vivian's pitiful question, they both felt a little difficult to answer.
Vivian immediately understood, and the little silly girl shed tears: "No! No! Me, me, I don't want to leave my scorching sun!! My scorching sun!!
She cried and ran over, pounced on the sleeping dragon's body, and hugged it desperately and did not let go.
Du Wei sighed, looking at this simple little girl, Du Wei also felt a little guilty in his heart.
But what if not?
They can't take such a big dragon!
What's more, deep in Du Wei's heart... He is not like the people of this world, who regard a dragon as some powerful, great high-level creature.
In Du Wei's usual thinking inertia: talent is the most important. Dragons, snakes... They all just fall into the category of "animals".
Human life is what matters. To sacrifice human life for the sake of an "animal" is simply incomprehensible stupidity in Du Wei's opinion.
And a deeper layer... Hmph, if it weren't for Vivian's face, he would even have the intention to slaughter this big "animal" and use its meat to make dry food.
But in that case, I'm afraid Vivian will cry to death on the spot.
Although Vivian refused to leave her baby dragon, Du Wei and Joanna forcibly took her along.
What surprised Du Wei slightly was that the vicious woman showed rare tenderness to her sister this time.
"No surprise." Joanna was already somewhat familiar with Du Wei, and looking at his eyes she knew what was going on in his head: "I also just lost my dragon, and I can feel the sadness of this little guy."
Du Wei could see that there was also a deep sadness in Joanna's eyes.
The two girls sat on the raft, Dewey pushed the raft hard into the sea behind him, then he rolled over and jumped up, Joanna controlled the sail, and Dewey picked up the oars and rowed hard.
Only poor little Vivian, who was forcibly brought up by two people to sit on the raft, silently looking at the island behind her with tears in her eyes... Here, too, her pet dragon.
The waves are small, which is lucky.
However, both Du Wei and Joanna looked nervous.
Because both are praying...
I only hope that they will not encounter that monster in the process of advancing! That monster can lurk in the sea to attack a dragon... So if the monster targets them, overturning this small raft is almost a breeze.
Du Wei only hoped that a few of his own people could quietly leave the island for a distance, and then he hoped that the two magicians could fly.
"Almighty God, bless us," Joanna muttered.
The hard rowing was too hard for a thin teenager like Du Wei, but inspired by the desire to escape, he still persevered, although his arm was a little sore, but Du Wei was still gritting his teeth and insisting.
Visually speaking, it is already at least two hundred meters away from the coast.
"How are you feeling?" Du Wei asked Joanna loudly.
"No, still no." Joanna tried to summon a wind magic to strengthen the sail, but unfortunately it still didn't work.
"Keep up the good work." Du Wei gritted his teeth.
However, it seems that the gods of this world are not destined to bless Du Wei as a pagan.
Just when the raft rowed about a hundred meters forward...
Suddenly, a huge wave suddenly broke out on the sea! Suddenly, that terrifying roar that had once made people's hearts jump appeared again!
Then, under the terrified eyes of the three people, a huge wave about four or five meters high suddenly rolled up from the calm sea and rolled towards this small raft with a roar!
With a bang, in the lap of the huge wave, the vines on the raft immediately broke, the raft fell apart, and the three fell into the water almost at the same time...
Du Wei only felt that the moment his whole body fell into the seawater, there seemed to be a force restraining him in the seawater!
He couldn't move his whole body, and when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of seawater poured in. Du Wei thought he was about to die, his eyes were blackening, and in the sea, a whirlpool swept him up, and quickly dragged down...
Du Wei felt as if he was sinking all the time... Sinking all the time...
