Outside the window, there is a turbulent sea.

The waves crashed against the battered hull of the cruise ship like a roaring beast, each impact sending chills down one's spine.

The next deck of the cruise ship was completely submerged in the dark seawater.

Xiao Jin could only vaguely see the outlines of those mutated octopus tentacles, dancing wildly in the undercurrent, as if celebrating the imminent arrival of its prey.

The moment she burst off the cruise ship, the sea breeze cut across Xiao Jin's face like a sharp blade, but she had no time to care. Instead, she immediately gathered all her strength and suddenly spread her ice-blue wings.

A faint chill emanated from the wings, instantly filling the surrounding air.

With the first flap of its wings, a rapid and powerful gust of wind was generated, and Xiao Jin's body seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, shooting upwards like an arrow released from a bow.

The cruise ship below shrank rapidly in comparison to the two people, while the suction force of the vortex remained ever-present.

As the mutated giant octopus's actions dragged the cruise ship to the bottom of the sea, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface.

The suction force kept coming from beneath their feet, like an invisible giant hand trying to pull Xiao Jin and Cen Nian back into that endless abyss.

Xiao Jin's eyes were firm, her wings flapped at an astonishing frequency, and her figure drew a beautiful arc in the air, as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest wavering.

The surrounding air seemed to be sliced ​​apart by her wings, forming tiny vortexes of airflow.

Xiao Jin focused intently, constantly adjusting her flight attitude and altitude. Before long, she felt the suction force from below suddenly weaken until it disappeared completely.

Only then did she dare to slightly relax her tense body and slowly stop flapping her wings.

The two of them remained suspended above the cruise ship.

Xiao Jin gripped Cen Nian's collar tightly with one hand, her ice-blue wings fluttering gently in the breeze, each flap emitting a faint silver light, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

Cen Nian was suspended hundreds of meters in the air, but there was not a trace of fear on his face. He looked down at the cruise ship that was gradually moving away and the sea that was shrouded in the night, and a sense of shock welled up in his heart.

"Hiss~" Cen Nian took a deep breath.

"The ship just vanished like that? And what about all those people...?"

Cen Nian was referring to the survivors on the cruise ship.

Dragged into the deep sea, they have no other fate but death.

Xiao Jin lowered her eyes silently, then turned to look at her side and saw several figures floating in the air.

"Tsk~" Lu Jing's face darkened, seemingly quite displeased.

After glancing at him, Xiao Jin finally understood why Lu Jing had such a sour face.

He was standing on a flying device that looked like a large cardboard box. It was unclear what material the box was made of, but it was amazing that it could support a man as tall and strong as Lu Jing.

He himself was standing inside the box, with a bone whip hanging down, wrapping around a player who appeared to be one of Lu Jing's underlings.

But then again, apart from him, all of Lu Jing's other henchmen had disappeared. Clearly, they had perished on the cruise ship.

That moment happened too fast. Even Xiao Jin could barely pull Cen Nian out, let alone the other players.

Wang Zixuan also looked pale.

She sat casually on the scepter that had appeared before; it turned out that it wasn't just a defensive tool, but also had the ability to fly.

At this moment, Wang Zixuan was all alone, as the last two players beside her had disappeared.

"Playing this high-stakes game," Lu Jing said, quite displeased. "My people are all going to die, and what time is it now?"

"Everyone's really dead," Wang Zixuan rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"4:30!" Xiao Jin checked the time.

"Good heavens, there's still more than half a day left. What do you say?" Lu Jing said this while looking at Xiao Jin.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jin replied, "Let's find a place to stay first. I can manage, are you guys okay?"

Hearing this, Lu Jing curled his lip; it really wouldn't work. The flying devices they had were limited and couldn't last more than half a day.

But if Xiao Jin says it this way, can she?

Lu Jing looked curiously at the ice-blue wings behind Xiao Jin, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. So beautiful!

I don't know if they're talking about wings or something else...

Wang Zixuan had no objections, so Xiao Jin, who had the best eyesight, was responsible for finding a place to stay.

It's unclear where the mutated giant octopus dragged them, but judging from the speed of the Ark at the time, they must have been quite far from the nearshore waters.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin decided to continue flying further in.

After flying for about half an hour, Lu Jing and Wang Zixuan visibly became more anxious, and Xiao Jin finally spotted a small island.

Upon seeing this, without Xiao Jin saying anything more, Lu Jing and his companion swiftly activated the props beneath them, instantly transforming into a beam of light and rushing towards the island.

We have to go! The props are about to expire, and if we don't get ashore soon, they'll have to swim up!

………………

A moment later, Xiao Jin steadily stepped onto the mysterious island that was isolated in the middle of the sea.

The sand beneath her feet felt like fine silk, gently enveloping the soles of her shoes.

Cen Nian was gently put down by Xiao Jin, and his feet finally felt the solid ground again. That long-lost sense of security instantly dispelled the unease in his heart.

Wow~ I've never felt that walking is such a joyful thing.

Xiao Jin's gaze swept around, and she had already noticed how small the island was when she looked down from the air.

Now that I've arrived, I realize that the island is basically visible from one end to the other. Apart from a few coconut trees, there's hardly any grass in the middle.

Meanwhile, Lu Jing, who arrived early, was quite lazy. He found a dry beach and sat down casually.

His only remaining underling squatted down to the side, looking rather aggrieved.

Needless to say, they were definitely rejected.

Not far away, Wang Zixuan was carefully applying ointment to her arm.

The injuries weren't too serious; I was just lightly grazed by debris from the explosion when I was escaping the cruise ship.

Later, in their rush to get somewhere, Wang Zixuan didn't have a chance to deal with it.

She moved gently, standing to the side, keeping a considerable distance from Lu Jing, her disdain quite obvious.

"Brother Xiao Jin, you should rest for a bit!"

Cen Nian found a folding stool in the storage space and placed it in front of Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin had been holding him for the past half hour, so she must be tired. Thinking of this, Cen Nian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

His flying item broke in the last dungeon. Flying items are rare, and he hasn't found a suitable one yet.

This time, I was truly unprepared!

"It's alright, you rest first, I'll go take a look over there." Xiao Jin gestured with his chin toward the center of the island.

Cen Nian didn't insist: "Okay, be careful, and call me if anything happens."
