High temperature debuff indicates that the plant will die within 48 hours.

If there is no way to save them, all these plants will die.

This broke Gu Xi's heart.

She never imagined that her casual decision would cause this trouble for the plants.

Gu Xi stood on the second floor, gazing at the island ablaze with flames.

At six o'clock sharp, the island sank into the sea, but the flames did not go out as the island sank; they continued to burn fiercely.

It's that layer of white light again!

Gu Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

This white light not only protects the island, but also protects it from disasters.

Night gradually fell, but the temperature did not drop much.

The heatwave continued to rage across the sea, scorching the people of District 2333.

Some people have difficulty falling asleep at night, while others sleep in cool, air-conditioned rooms.

The maritime calendar, morning of the 17th.

Gu Xi woke up in her bedroom and went upstairs to the second floor.

She stood on the second-floor platform, gazing at the island rising.

At this moment, the distant islands were slowly rising. After a night, the fire had subsided considerably, and instead of actual flames, there was mostly thick smoke billowing out.

Since the plants were already suffering from the high temperature debuff, Gu Xi simply decided to give up and do whatever she wanted.

She boldly led the sharks to move two or three hundred meters closer to the island.

It was within those two or three hundred meters that Gu Xi was able to see the situation around the island more clearly.

Most of the bright red area has been extinguished, with only a few scattered sparks still burning.

Thick smoke of varying thickness billowed upwards.

Layers of smoke and clouds formed in the sky above the island.

This ocean has no turbulent waves, only deathly stillness and silence; it hangs quietly in the sky, enveloping the islands.

Gu Xi made the sharks stop and stand there.

After a long while, the flames on the island subsided and the smoke that had enveloped the sky dissipated, and only then did she direct the sharks to continue forward.

Even though the fire has been extinguished, the temperature on the island must still be quite high.

Before going ashore, she always made sure to drink a heatstroke medicine.

In addition, to prevent the temperature on the island from getting too high, she also prepared a handheld self-cooling air conditioner.

A small glass jar was filled with water, and an ice crystal was placed inside.

With the ice crystals, at least she wouldn't have to worry about dying of heat on the island.

The moment I stepped onto the island, a wave of heat hit me.

Thinking back to the sweltering heat she felt yesterday when the temperature reached 56℃.

She guessed that the temperature on the island was at least 56°C.

Gu Xi took out a handheld air conditioner and used it to cool herself down while exploring forward.

The land beneath her feet was truly barren and black, utterly devoid of any vegetation.

Apart from some giant trees that hadn't been completely burned, there was really nothing there.

When Gu Xi first arrived on the island, the most common resources he encountered were plants and trees.

Clearly, given the current state of the island, such resources simply do not exist.

But she believed that the island couldn't possibly be empty.

Gu Xi walked forward, constantly keeping an eye on her surroundings.

There were no trees, no grass, no animals, but there were plenty of stones.

She carefully navigated among the rocks.

Suddenly, a unique color caught her attention.

"That's... a treasure chest?"

Gu Xi wasn't quite sure.

After all, until now, all treasure chests have only dropped after defeating monsters.

Gu Xi, using the iron spikes, approached the treasure location.

A box that looks like a treasure chest is stuck between two pieces of rubble.

Gu Xi pried open the stone and dragged the box out.

The treasure chest was golden all over and still radiated a scorching heat, clearly indicating that it was an item that had survived the fire.

Gu Xi used a spike to pry open the lid, causing the items inside to collide and clang.

They are bright yellow and golden.
