Chapter 273: Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the misfortune
"No! It's too dangerous! We have to find an island quickly to repair the raft!"
Yu Xilin glanced at the bottomless sea and felt a sense of fear in his heart.
He knew that it would not be long before the raft would fall apart, and then all of them would be buried here!
"Yeah! I think so too!"
Ahai nodded, feeling a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
He glanced at the calm sea, pointed to the horizon not far away and said:
"Let's go over there. There's an island somewhere!"
Lin Xiao looked in the direction of Ah Hai's finger. Apart from the vast sea, not even an island could be seen, not even a fish!
But looking at Ah Hai's confident look, Lin Xiao had to believe in his judgment.
Everyone rowed towards the sea level with all their strength.
The creaking sound of the raft could not be heard, and everyone's tense nerves became more and more tense.
Finally, after the raft crossed the sea level, a mountain appeared on the sea, and the island was right in front!
Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry, the island is right ahead, let's work harder!"
Everyone's spirits were suddenly lifted, and they started rowing hard again.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a splashing sound from the sea water. Everyone turned around and saw a group of huge gray monsters.
These monsters are gray in color, with a row of sharp teeth on their heads, and the fins on their backs are also unusually thick and powerful.
"Oh my God! It's a swarm of sharks!"
Lin Xiao exclaimed.
Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.
This group of sharks is four to five meters long, huge in size, and terrifying in weight. Once trapped inside, there is no way to survive!
Lin Xiao pursed her lips tightly and stared sharply at the group of sharks.
Although she has never seen a real shark, she has read some information from the animal world and knows that sharks are social animals and they will gather together to look for food.
If they continue paddling toward the island, they will be surrounded by sharks just like that island, and it will be almost impossible to escape!
If we return now, we don’t know when the raft will fall apart, but at least there is hope of escape!
Lin Xiao made a decision quickly. She whispered a few words to Ah Hai. Ah Hai frowned and thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and then said to everyone:
"Everyone, listen to my order and turn around and return!"
Looking at the island just around the corner, many people expressed dissatisfaction.
"Why, Brother Ahai, the island is just ahead. It's not too late to leave after we repair the raft!"
"Yes! We were chased by a sea monster just now, and we lost most of our food. We just happened to go to the island to replenish supplies."
"If you make a U-turn at this time, wouldn't you be a fool!"
One after another people protested.
Obviously, in the face of temptation, Ahai's prestige is not worth mentioning at all!
Lin Xiao knew it was her turn to take action at this time.
She quickly glanced at everyone and told them bluntly:
"If you want to be trapped on that island by these eager sharks, please do it yourself!"
"What's the meaning?"
Everyone was a little confused.
Lin Xiao pointed at the shark that was constantly wandering around the raft, trying to get close to the raft and said:
"It means that these sharks want you to go to that island. No matter whether you try to escape or die of old age, it will be a delicious meal for them!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Without Lin Xiao's order, they spontaneously turned the rudder and used their last strength to sail towards the sea level.
These sharks were very fast, and they kept circling around Lin Xiao's boat, as if they wanted to catch them all.
"Why haven't these damn sharks given up yet?"
Yu Xilin cursed angrily.
Lin Xiao smiled and said lightly:
"Don't worry, we paddle our way, the shark will give up after a while."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the group of sharks following the raft to disappear without a trace.
Lin Xiao and the others did not stop and continued paddling into the distance.
The only difference from before was that while they rowed, several craftsmen held some spare ropes to secure the raft that was about to loosen.
As the saying goes, misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune.
The raft rowed about twenty or thirty kilometers on the sea level. The sea level became higher and higher, the sea surface became wider and wider, and their boat speed also slowly decreased.
At the highest point of the sea level, a lonely island appeared. The island was obscured by clouds and the whole picture could not be seen clearly.
When everyone saw this island, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Finally we can escape!"
Everyone was so excited that they cheered and jumped.
"Hurry up, I'm going to pick the fruits!"
"There must be fruit trees around here!"
"Brother Ahai! We have arrived at the island!"
One crew member shouted excitedly.
A Hai was not as excited as everyone else. He walked towards Lin Xiao who looked serious:
"Master Lin, what do you think? Can we go to this island?"
Lin Xiao carefully observed the sea level around the raft.
It is almost evening, the sea is calm, and seagulls sing at the intersection of sea and sky, covering the island with a hazy veil.
"The presence of seagulls means there should be no dangerous sea monsters or sharks around the island. You can go to the island, but I don't know if it is safe."
Lin Xiao pondered and analyzed.
"No wonder we didn't see seagulls on the first two islands. It turned out that they were scared away by sea monsters and sharks!"
Yu Xilin suddenly realized.
"There are no sea monsters, so aren't you afraid of other more terrifying land monsters?"
Lin Xiao glanced at him and asked.
"What are you afraid of from land monsters? Kill them and roast them for everyone to eat!"
Yu Xilin looked like he was risking his life.
Lin Xiao ignored him and told Ah Hai:
"We will go to the island later. You take a few crew members to go around the island to check it out. Don't go in. The rest of the people are looking for food nearby!"
Ahai nodded seriously.
The raft was dragged to the beach by everyone, and everyone acted according to the plan.
The trees on this island are more lush and dense than other islands, and even the coconut trees are more than twice as big as other islands, dazzling everyone.
Under the command of Lin Xiao, several crew members who were good at climbing trees chopped down many coconuts.
Everyone drank the sweet coconut water, and their physical strength recovered a lot, and they started working on their own.
Those who checked the situation of the island checked the situation of the island, those who tied rafts tied rafts, those who caught sea fish caught sea fish, those who picked coconuts picked coconuts, and those who made fires made fires. In short, everything was in order, and there was no trace of panic at all.
Before the sky completely darkened, everyone was already gathering around the bonfire, grilling seafood and drinking coconut water.
With their cozy appearance, those who didn’t know it would have thought they were having a team building on the island!
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at the night sky in the distance.
