"Is it the room where our past lives were kept?" Xingxing asked.
“Yes, it’s in that room. The purple wooden box is under the ice coffin. You can see it at a glance if you crouch down,” Zhu Lin replied softly.
Xingxing immediately turned around to find the elixir.
At this moment, Zhu Lin heard a faint murmur in his ear. It was coming from outside into the space. The stars couldn't hear it, but he could.
It was Yokoyama who came looking for her. She had indeed not been poisoned to death. This female Japanese pirate was truly skilled; she could force out the poison with her internal energy time and time again, surviving each time.
If he could, Zhu Lin would love to go out and kill her with a single sword strike right now, but unfortunately he is too weak to even sit up.
"Huh, that's strange. How could there be no one here? I clearly saw her carrying someone to the stream. How did she suddenly disappear?" Hengshan was momentarily knocked unconscious by the poison, but she had practiced martial arts since childhood and had an extremely strong physique. With the added benefit of the transmigration aura, she woke up quickly.
She then immediately sat down to meditate and circulate her internal energy to expel the poison. It was impossible to expel all the poison from her body in one go, mainly because her internal energy was exhausted. She had to wait for her internal energy to recover before she could circulate it again.
After resting for a while, she got up to look for Xingxing and the other person. Because they were carrying someone on their backs, they were moving slowly and left traces on the road, so Hengshan quickly followed the traces and caught up with them.
She didn't rush forward, but observed from a distance. Then she sat down behind a big tree to rest, circulating her internal energy to expel the poison while keeping an eye on the movements in the distance.
She spent only half an hour circulating her internal energy to expel the poison, and when she opened her eyes again, she realized that the person by the stream was gone. So she rushed over to check, but she couldn't find anything. The person was gone, and there wasn't even a trace of anyone walking around.
The person who could escape right under her nose without attracting her attention must be a master. So it seems that Zhu Lin has already woken up and left with the princess?
After thinking about it, Yokoyama felt that this was the only possibility; otherwise, the princess herself would not have been able to leave without anyone noticing.
No, she can't stay here alone; she has to catch up with those two.
At this moment, on a small island that had been separated in the sea, Zhou Erfu, Zhou Sifu, and others were looking around the island.
"This earthquake has shattered the original island into pieces and even shifted it. I wonder where we've been taken now, and how far we are from the mainland?" Zhou Erfu looked at the shimmering sea with worry.
More than twenty days have passed since the earthquake. The four of them were originally trapped in a deep pit and could not get out. By a twist of fate, the earthquake brought them out. It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
They were caught in a downpour after coming out, and the four of them huddled together, shivering, waiting for the rain to stop. Later, the rain stopped, the hurricane ended, and everything returned to calm.
It was just too calm; there weren't any ships passing by at sea, and the island they were on was rather small, probably less than a thousand square meters.
It's easy to walk from one end to the other, and you can even walk the whole island in less than an hour. If it weren't for the trees on the island, you could walk around the whole island in a quarter of an hour.
Fortunately, there were still mountains, and the prey in the mountains were still there, so they didn't starve to death. However, there were no streams in the mountains, so Erfu and Sifu could only take wooden sticks and rely on their strength to dig into the ground to see if they could find a water source.
They were lucky; they found water, so they had no problem getting water and food. But without a boat, they couldn't leave, and they couldn't stay trapped on the island forever.
Furthermore, Erfu and Sifu were very worried about Xingxing, who was also on the island at the time. They didn't know how she and Lin Ge'er were doing when the earthquake occurred, and they hoped that she was alright.
“Xingxing is a lucky star, she will definitely be alright,” Sifu said confidently.
Erfu also felt that Xingxing couldn't possibly be in trouble, but since they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they still felt uneasy. They were in a hurry to leave, but all they could do was worry.
“Let’s cut down trees and make rafts. They’re not as good as boats, but at least we can get away. Let’s cut down a lot of wood, choose the ones with good buoyancy that won’t sink easily, and tie the big logs together. Once we’ve made them, we’ll row back together. I refuse to believe we can’t get back,” Zhou Erfu said, frowning.
"You should build a raft. I can navigate at sea and I'm sure I can get you all back," Ahui said softly.
"Cough cough..." Prince Cheng coughed from time to time. He had caught a cold and was also injured. After experiencing the earthquake and being exposed to the wind and sun, his health had not improved.
Although Erfu and Sifu carried medicine with them, the conditions on the island were too harsh. Prince Cheng, who was seriously ill, could not receive proper care and was unlikely to recover.
Erfu and Sifu didn't really care about him. Apart from sharing water and food with him, they basically ignored him. It was Ahui who took care of him. Originally, when she heard that this person was Prince Cheng, Ahui didn't want to care whether he lived or died.
But later, Erfu and Sifu told her that the one who massacred the village was not Prince Cheng, but a Japanese pirate in disguise. Prince Cheng was imprisoned and abused by the Japanese pirates, and he was also a victim.
After spending many days together in the deep pit, and then experiencing a series of devastations such as earthquakes and hurricanes, Ahui lost her initial resentment towards Prince Cheng and even felt sorry for him.
It's astonishing that a prince has fallen to such a state. Considering that Prince Cheng led his naval forces to fight against the Japanese pirates in the past two years, he has made some contributions, and the fishermen have benefited quite a bit.
Ahui was a kind-hearted girl who couldn't bear to see him suffer to death from typhoid fever.
So she took on the task of taking care of Prince Cheng. Once, when it was raining, Erfu and Sifu found a cave to take shelter. Prince Cheng was unable to walk due to his physical condition. Ahui tried to help him up, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't lift him up. So she simply carried him to the cave.
