The Voyage of Exchange - Rebirth from the Dead Chapter 16 Monkey Nest
Alexander calmly and quietly got up to take a look at the situation nearby. At the same time, he quickly approached the group members and tried to gently wake them up.
"Well..." After a long time, Sofia, who was frowning, opened her eyes and woke up. She covered her head and groaned. "My head, it hurts..." Then she pulled off her mask.
Everyone else also woke up with a splitting headache—except Nina.
"What's going on..." Ryan shook his head.
Noel forced his upper body up, wiped his eyes, and quickly looked around.
"Keep your voice down, it's not clear where we are yet." Alexander went to see what was going on with Nina, who had not yet gotten up.
"Since we are still alive, we should have left that sea area..." Sophia propped up her upper body with both hands. "Now, except for those few, are everyone else okay?"
"The only good news is that the boat is not completely damaged and can still be driven, probably." Sheath said, but where did she get such confidence?
The two skeletons next to Nina seemed to have fallen into dormancy, but the fire of their souls had not been extinguished.
"Well...have we escaped the disaster for the time being?" Zate stood up slowly, her throat was dry and her mouth was astringent.
"Well... I barely escaped, but a few others were still swept into the sea by the waves caused by the unknown force... I don't know what the situation is now." Sophia fell into depression again.
"I hope the others are okay, and I'll find a way to contact them later." Noel was still optimistic.
"Sofia...it's not your fault." Hitz comforted.
"Well, let's see if we can find it later." Ryan agreed.
"If they are still alive, you can try to use the emblem to contact them." At this time, Heath made an epic suggestion.
"They should get in touch after they settle down." Noel felt that another wave of people might still be in danger, and warned them not to communicate casually with emblems.
"Let's first determine our current environment." Zate climbed out of the cabin to check the surrounding sea and environment.
"How is Nina doing now?" Sofia saw that Alexander had not moved for a long time, so she went over to take a look.
"It seems like it's still the same old problem. It's nothing serious. I just don't know when I'll wake up." Alexander made the above judgment. "Assemble the team, let's go out and see where the others are."
"It seems that the magic power is lacking again." Sophia thought for a moment, bit her finger, and then opened Nina's lips, letting the blood containing magic power flow into her mouth.
Soon Nina groaned, covered her head, and slowly woke up.
At this time, Noel had already pulled out the Ancestral Power stuck on the baffle in Class A, then quickly checked the other equipment on his body, and was ready for action.
"Nina, how are you feeling now?" Sofia asked.
"Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?" Hitz was also very concerned.
Nina said it was nothing serious and went to the bathroom to change out of her soaked clothes.
As for Gabru, it took him a long time to wake up completely. He stood up unsteadily and went to the captain's cabin to find tools to check his metal joints.
Sophia then used magic to clean away all the stains and sea water on her body, and also went to Class A.
"Ah ha, Sofia is worthy of you, help me clean it too." Ryan came to Sofia's side.
Heath also used a flame to dry the clothes.
Zate, on the other hand, went directly to the bathroom to change into a new set of clean clothes.
"Okay." Sophia snapped her fingers and used magic tricks on those still present to help clean.
After the final inspection, Sofia accompanied Alexander on the deck guardrail to observe the surrounding situation.
Noel, on the other hand, did not find the bird at the stern of the boat. According to his somewhat vague memory, he went deep into the cabin to look for it before the team set off.
At this time, the ship ran aground on the beach at an angle of 45 degrees.
The oil canvas was almost completely burned, and the main and auxiliary masts were broken. The stern and starboard water lines were particularly damaged and filled with water. There was also a large hole on the deck, and you could see down that the keel was also broken.
If the hull had not been studded with metal plates to maintain tension on the hull, it would have been completely damaged.
The conclusion is that if we don't spend a lot of money to repair and maintain this ship, we can't keep it.
On the shore, there are trees with palm leaves and spherical fruits like the coconut trees written in the novel. There are many shells, crabs, and dried starfish on the beach.
"It seems that the ship can no longer be used. Sorry for the change, at least we are still alive." Zate comforted Sophia on the side.
"It seems that I thought too much about the boat being able to sail." Heath stuck out his tongue.
Distraught, Alexander released Susie and began to search for members of the group who were not at the scene on the ship and nearby. "Search, others may be nearby."
After a while, Susie returned and told her that Jiujiu was in the warehouse where the ballast stones were placed in the cabin, and that there was water inside. Fortunately, it seemed that only half of the barrels and crates containing food were damaged.
Alexander touched Susie's head and took her back. "Thank you for your hard work. We found it. The others don't seem to be around here. There are still half of the wooden barrels containing food in the warehouse intact."
"Hey, let's take out everything we can use first." Sophia sighed.
"Let me help." Zate went to carry the remaining intact food.
"Yeah." Ryan also helped clean up.
Alexander went to the cabin to find the bird, and met Noel on the way. Noel, who had originally planned to find the bird in the cabin, naturally started to do hard work.
"At least there's a lot of food left," Heath said as he moved it.
After moving the things out one by one, Sophia sorted them according to the difficulty of preservation, and then stored them away. Now she didn't know how far the storm had brought the group.
After waking up, Jiujiu immediately confirmed the heart-stirring fact that he was still alive, then shook the salt stains on his feathers and flew to Alexander's shoulder.
Alexander took Jiujiu out of the cabin.
"It's great that you are still alive, Xiaojiu." Hitz was very happy.
【Great.】Zate is also very happy.
"Oh Mom, the outside world is too dangerous." Jiujiu, who was only one year old, threw herself on Hitz and complained, intending to slowly turn on the mental scan to confirm the surrounding situation, hoping that she was far away from that horror.
The place.
Alexander took the fish-catching Jiujiu out of Heath's arms. "Come on, fly up and see if there are any people around here."
"Well, remember to save me if I am attacked." Jiujiu first fluttered its wings and observed the surrounding situation with the naked eye.
"Don't worry, if you get hit and fall, they will catch you, probably." Sophia's words really frightened the bird.
Jiujiu first looked in the opposite direction of the sun. At the end of the beach was a patch of tall trees that looked a bit like the rain forest Alexander told her.
However, you can see that the broken surface of the wood is reddish-brown inside, while the leaves are yellowish green. Unlike the branches in the rain forest that are densely leafy, they are bare.
There are also many birds of various colors in the woods, as well as many snakes and monkeys. There is nothing special within the field of vision.
Jiujiu used his own telepathic communication to report his reconnaissance findings to Damama in real time.
"Well...it seems that Xiaojiu only saw a forest." Alexander told the others.
"Is that so? Let's explore that forest first?" Zate said as he changed his clothes and put on a more obvious straw hat.
After confirming that there was no more information, Jiujiu did not dare to approach those flying creatures that might harm her, so she turned around twice and chose to return.
Jiujiu then flew back to the ship and asked if he needed to use a large-scale mental scan.
"The woods? After we bring our things, let's go in and have a look." Sophia fantasized about finding pirate treasures.
"That's all it can do." Ryan shrugged.
"Indeed, we can't stand still." Hitz agreed.
"Try, I hope you can find a town." Alexander was still concerned about the location.
"Well, the food has been sorted out. How about we abandon the ship and put it here first?" Zate said.
"The ship can only stay here. We should have no way to move it." Ryan smiled bitterly.
At this time, Jiujiu had a fearless spirit of sacrifice, prepared to lie down after using it and faint for dozens of days, and started his own mental scan.
Mental scanning requires specifying the details you want to retrieve. For example, villages can be scanned directly, but if you do not maintain it and view it area by area, you will not be able to notice the details.
The so-called details are which tree in the forest has bird eggs and which one does not have such level. This is also needed if you want to judge the general strength of the creature.
Of course, you can also spend a few hours searching for details all over the place, so as to ensure that you can see the details in all areas.
Among the information Sofia knows, there is indeed information about the appearance of some architectural styles or other characteristics of the principality.
The main buildings in the principality city are white, and there are no other special features. But the perceived picture is black and white, which is difficult to judge...
Jiujiu, on the other hand, focuses on looking for dangerous-looking creatures and traces of life such as extinguished fires and abandoned household garbage.
The little guy's own thoughts extended outwards and spread. There seemed to be few dangerous-looking creatures in this endless forest, but there was an orangutan that seemed to notice her peeking at it, but it didn't seem to recognize its location.
Then a fishing village was discovered about three miles to the east, and a city developed based on the mouth of a river was discovered seven miles away. But there was a person with strong mental power in the city who also noticed Jiujiu's mental scan.
, and sent out a sharp mental force to warn her.
In particular, four thousand feet away from the ship, there is an area where monkeys accumulate feces under a very thick tree. Within the range of the mental scan, there is a monkey among the branches of another big tree not far away.
There were a lot of gold coins, gems, and even a crown, a sword, and a huge Origin Core piled inside the nest! She estimated that there were at least 50,000 to 60,000 monkeys in the forest.
"Hiss, it hurts." The little guy covered his head with his wings, made an embarrassing sound, and then reported his findings.
"Xiaojiu found a village and a city, and not far from here there was an area where monkeys accumulated excrement. Not far away there was a monkey nest with a pile of treasures." Alexander recounted.
