Chapter 294 The Insatiable Hunger



The island suddenly emerged from the deep sea to the surface four days ago.

At this moment, a "survival race" of survival and escape is taking place on this small island.

As those suspected native savages from the island charged toward the survivors of the Ocean Oasis who had just arrived on the island.

The latter initially attempted to put up a brief resistance.

However, these man-eating beasts would rather "lose a thousand lives" than not bite off a piece of flesh from their bodies.

The survivors quickly scattered and fled in all directions.

As the crowd dispersed and fled, most people attempted to hide and escape on the small island.

However, many people still choose to jump into the sea in an attempt to swim away despite the danger.

Immediately after being forced to land on the island, they were attacked by what appeared to be cannibals from there.

So at this point, they only hoped to get as far away from the landing point as possible.

They jumped into the sea and continued to paddle their arms incessantly as they fled.

After witnessing people attempting to jump off the lifeboat to escape, [the situation was different].

The image of someone ultimately drowning in the ocean due to exhaustion and hypothermia.

At this point, some people who still retain their rationality may not necessarily want to use this opportunity to get away from the island.

Because in this vast ocean, finding a piece of land like this to settle down is obviously not easy.

So for some of them, they might just want to use jumping into the sea as an excuse.

Then they swam to the other side of the island and went ashore to escape the pursuit of these savages.

However, when these people had only swum a short distance from the shore.

Suddenly, fish-men and sea monsters emerged from the once calm sea.

These sea monsters were none other than the same monsters that attacked the Ocean Oasis.

However, before these people trying to escape the island could think any further...

These fish-men and sea monsters, who had merely surrounded them on the lifeboat, suddenly opened their gaping maws.

Those still on the shore saw one of the people who had escaped into the sea being swallowed whole by a sea monster.

The man's legs, which were protruding from the monster's mouth, were still struggling.

But a moment later, it seemed that the sea monster realized that the "freshness" of the blood food in its mouth was constantly decreasing.

So it quickly grabbed the two still struggling legs and stuffed them into its mouth as well.

Just like some people who love to pursue the freshness of food.

They would also stuff freshly caught, simply cut into pieces, still-moving octopus sashimi into their mouths.

However, upon seeing this scene, everyone still on the island realized—

Sea monsters guard the island, devouring any "violators" who attempt to escape.

No one wants to risk their life to test the bite force of those sea monsters.

Or perhaps we could test the time intervals between their guarding and supervision.

Therefore, upon witnessing this scene, everyone lost hope and fled towards the deserted island.

This is indeed a truly deserted island.

This is what Weaving and Fionn observed while they were fleeing the island in a panic.

The overgrown trees and bushes made the place look deserted for a long time, with no trace of human habitation or civilization.

In such a desolate and wild island, it's not surprising that rumors circulate that treasure is buried there.

Meanwhile, after Weavin and Fionn finally escaped the pursuit of the two savages who had been behind them.

Perhaps it was because it escaped from the sinking Oasis of the Seas last night, and was then transported to a deserted island before being forced to flee again.

The body, which had not eaten for a long time, could no longer withstand such depletion.

At this moment, as Vivian was roughly concealing the traces of their actions.

But he heard Fiorentina say to him.

"Weiwen, I'm so hungry."

This is not some kind of "dependent coquetry" that arises from the two people's long-term experience of escaping and sharing hardships together.

Or perhaps Fionn is describing his physical condition to his partner.

Fionn's words at this moment seemed more like they came when he was extremely exhausted.

When one's spirit and will are worn down and invaded, one murmurs unconsciously.

For him, it seemed to be a hunger that came from nowhere but was constantly generating.

At that moment, Vivian also remembered when they were first thrown onto the island.

The scene was one where everyone suddenly woke up from their coma.

On the ghost ship and on this island, during the two times Vivian was carelessly thrown to the ground.

While he still retained some consciousness, he was actually experiencing excruciating pain all over his body.

The organs inside the body seemed to have been displaced by the impact.

Upon arriving on the island, Vivian observed—

Not just those savages who rushed out when they first arrived on the island.

This even includes the newcomers who have just arrived on the island.

Their wounds heal and their bodies recover exceptionally quickly.

The injuries they sustained while being carelessly tossed about were now barely noticeable to most people.

By this time, they were even able to desperately flee on the island, evading attacks from the savages.

But this ability to recover quickly or even regenerate flesh seems to come from overdrawing their body's potential.

This ability allowed them to unleash their full potential in a short period of time.

And perhaps this is the source of the constant hunger felt by everyone on the island.

In retrospect, the tattered clothes worn by those savages were clearly related to the fact that they may have undergone multiple rebirths.

At that moment, Vivian looked at the sunlight filtering through the leaves—

This is the light at sunrise.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, a new day finally arrived.

But when Vivian looked up at the sun on the island, he felt neither warmth nor the arrival of so-called hope.

"Splash—"

A gust of wind blew, making the branches and leaves on the tree rustle wildly.

In the breeze that blew by, Vivian smelled a rather complex scent—

It was mixed with a salty, fishy smell that seemed to come from the ocean in the distance.

The decaying aura emanating from this place, which had been "sleeping" in the ocean for a long time, after it was "rediscovered."

And a particularly delicious meaty flavor.
