Soon, they returned to where they came from. As soon as they stepped onto the gravel beach, Xiao Tangqiu heard screams: "Ahhhhh! Help! Help!"

Xiao Tangqiu rushed over, only to see someone desperately struggling in the water not far from the gravel beach. It was the newcomer who had argued with them earlier. He paddled and scrambled in the water like he couldn't swim.

The newlyweds on the shore looked at each other in confusion and hesitation. At this moment, a young man quickly took off his clothes and said, "I'll go!"

However, just as he was about to go into the water, ripples suddenly appeared around the newcomer who fell into the water.

In the blink of an eye, the newcomer disappeared silently, leaving only a small whirlpool in its place, and in an instant it returned to its original calm.

The young man was stunned, and so were the others. Where was the person? Had he sunk?

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other. It seemed that the guy just now was right. Once on the island, no one could leave.

Xue Junli stepped forward and said calmly, "We just inquired about this. There's no way to leave this island easily. As you've seen, anyone who falls into the water sinks. I heard there's nothing to eat on the island, and no fish in the sea. Besides that, it's best not to wander around after dark. You can make your own decisions about what to do next."

The newcomers looked at each other, obviously not daring to believe what Xue Junli said, but they had indeed witnessed with their own eyes that man sinking inexplicably, without even a trace of struggle, and suddenly disappeared just like that.

At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly said, "Have you noticed? The water here is extremely clear, you can see the bottom. There is not a trace of impurities in the water, not even a grain of sand."

Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Xiao Tangqiu didn't say anything. He picked up a fallen leaf from the shore that was probably blown by the wind and threw it into the sea. The fallen leaf floated on the surface of the sea for less than a few seconds and soon swirled and sank.

Everyone was shocked. The sea water here had no buoyancy at all. Even fallen leaves would sink to the bottom, let alone the person who fell into the water just now!

"No wonder it's so clear, because the sand and dirt have sunk to the bottom," Duan Hongzhen realized. "So there can't be any fish, because they can't float."

A newcomer murmured, "There are no fish in the sea, and there is no food on the island?"

"It's said that no food can be grown on the island, and all the native plants are extremely poisonous," Xiao Tangqiu said calmly. "But don't worry, our mission is to leave the island within a day. Just not eating for a day shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"It's okay not to eat for a day, so as long as we can get through this day, we'll be successful?" asked the newcomer.

Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, either you starve to death if you don't eat for a day, or you fail the mission and are directly wiped out after a day."

"...Why is it death anyway?" The newcomer's face turned pale.

"If we can't complete the mission, we'll die anyway," Xue Junli said bluntly. "We've already gotten a clue, so we're going to give it a try. Please feel free to do as you please."

The newcomer immediately asked, "Can we join you?"
