Thinking about this made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Soon, the people in the other tents woke up one after another and saw Lu Wuyai sitting on the ground. They looked at each other, unsure how to explain what had happened the night before.
Finally, Ana went over and showed him the video taken by the drone last night.
When he saw himself biting open the wolf's throat and sucking its blood, Lu Wuyai felt nauseous. He leaned against the tree trunk and vomited again.
Half an hour later, after everyone explained, Lu Wuyai believed everything he had seen.
"I'm willing."
Lu Wuyai spat on the ground, still feeling unwell. He thought to himself, "I killed the wild deer the night before."
He felt a deep fear of the Red Sword when he thought about spending two nights drinking blood.
"Did you throw it away?" he asked. This red sword was too evil. He couldn't believe he'd succeeded before.
Upon learning that Gu Yuxin had carefully put the longsword away, Lu Wuyai frowned. However, after careful consideration, he realized that the sword was far too dangerous. Rather than letting it fall into the hands of other survivors, it was better to keep it hidden.
Seeing Lu Wuyai's pale face, the group discussed it and decided to rest on the gentle slope for half a day before setting off again after noon.
However, Lu Wuyai shook his head. They had only brought a week's worth of food, and four days had already passed. They would be back by this time tomorrow, so they were fully prepared. From now on, they only had one day to explore the depths of the deserted island.
Therefore, they don't have much time to waste.
Soon, the seven of them felt dizzy under Lu Wuyai's pressure and resumed their journey, continuing deeper into the deserted island.
Along the way, the scenery on the deserted islands was all pretty much the same, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
The women viewed this hiking trip as an adventure to explore the deserted island. They stopped when they were tired and walked a few more steps when they had the energy. Before they knew it, it was afternoon.
During this time, Lu Wuyai's expression did not change much; he was still in great pain. But whenever he was near Gu Yuxin, he would feel a little better, as if he were affected by the longsword.
Therefore, he deliberately kept his distance from Gu Yuxin to avoid being affected by Changjian's emotions again.
As dusk fell, the group arrived at an unfamiliar forest and decided to rest there for the night.
Lu Wuyai still vividly remembered what had happened, so he couldn't participate in anything else for the time being. Even when he moved, he could taste blood in his mouth.
"You should rest for a while. There shouldn't be any danger here." Su Xi said as she handed a drone to Lu Wuyai, telling him to take a look at the surrounding scenery when he had time.
Lu Wuyai nodded and sat down in the front. Looking up, he could see the others searching for herbs.
The drone slowly took off and soon flew into the tree canopy.
It must be said that the deserted island is teeming with life in this season. Various herbivores can be seen everywhere, as can hunters.
Lu Wuyai piloted the plane, slowly entering a grassland. The sparse trees and lack of sufficient cover provided Lu Wuyai with an excellent field of vision.
Beyond the grasslands, an unexpected expanse of towering mountains unfolds. These mountains, with their unique shapes and lack of vegetation, appear exceptionally rugged.
"What a beautiful view!" Lu Wuyai couldn't help but exclaim, and promptly took a picture of the scene.
The drone flew around a rocky mountain that looked like a pillar in the sky, from its summit all the way down to its base. At the base lay a deep, seemingly endless forest.
The scenery here was completely different from what Lu Wuyai had seen before.
Among the rocky peaks, Lu Wuyai discovered many caves. If they weren't too high up, they would be suitable places for survivors to live.
"A deserted island full of strange things."
After sighing for a while, Lu Wuyai checked the drone's battery and finally controlled the aircraft to fly back to the forest.
The twilight is beautiful, especially when it shines on the graceful curves of a woman in the forest.
The six women discovered another patch of land covered with cordyceps and were lying on the ground, searching for the pointed horns emerging from the soil.
Lu Wuyai lay on the gentle slope, momentarily distracted.
"What if they all became my wives?" Lu Wuyai was startled by his own thought.
Some ideas, once they take hold, cannot be extinguished even by a storm.
Lu Wuyai took a breath and put the unrealistic idea out of his mind, but he still couldn't help but fantasize occasionally.
Soon after, the last rays of twilight disappeared.
Lu Wuyai felt much better. He went to the side, dug two holes, lit a fire, and started cooking. Tonight's snack was instant noodles.
As for staple food, everyone ate marching rations during this period, which were very suitable for survival in the wild.
A faint campfire burned in the forest, bringing some light to the dark woods.
The general was still lying on the ground, and there was no danger nearby. Several women were looking at the scenery that Lu Wuyai had photographed at dusk, and he told them to go and see it before they left the next day.
"There seems to be something on this rock face." Moroi suddenly paused the video. Zooming in, the group saw what appeared to be a patch of land on the rock face, covered with yellow corn.
"There's corn in a place like this." Lu Wuyai also found it unbelievable.
In fact, it is corn, growing neatly on top of a rocky mountain peak.
However, even if corn is planted in the spring, it won't mature until July or August. Now, corn is ready to eat so early.
In fact, there were many corn seeds in the container, some of which had already been scattered in the vegetable garden, but had not yet sprouted. Perhaps this was due to the different sowing methods.
After finishing their instant noodles, everyone was still dissatisfied, but they got up nonetheless. After a quick wash, they all went back to their tents to sleep.
Lu Wuyai received Su Xi's support. Ever since the longsword affected his emotions and physical health, he had felt unwell and had not yet recovered.
That night, Lu Wuyai fell asleep quickly. Holding Su Xi in his arms, he felt as if he had fallen into two giant clouds, and slept very comfortably.
When Lu Wuyai woke up the next day, he looked at the two drool stains on Su Xi's bulging chest and licked his lips.
Soon, more and more people stood up in the camp. Lu Wuyai stretched and found that the discomfort he had felt over the past two days had completely disappeared.
"That's great." Lu Wuyai sighed, looked back, and remembered that Gu Yuxin was still carrying that long sword yesterday, so how could she be alright?
“A red longsword. Back then, there seemed to be an iron sword.” Lu Wuyai pondered for a moment, then walked over to Moroye and took out another iron sword from his backpack.
Seeing Lu Wuyai's actions, Gu Yuxin was initially startled, thinking that she had been affected by the red sword again.
Finally, she saw Lu Wuyai draw another iron sword, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, she had handled an iron sword before and found that she did not experience any other discomfort.
Lu Wuyai stroked the iron sword. Meanwhile, Gu Yuxin used chemicals to remove all the rust from its surface. Now, under the sunlight, the sword reflected a cold light, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
“This shouldn’t be what you call an iron weapon or a metal weapon,” Gu Yuxin suddenly said.
It wasn't until the sword fell into Moloé's hands that Lu Wuyai understood.
Others also came over out of curiosity, watching the sword continue to spin in Gu Yuxin's hand, gradually undergoing some incredible changes.
In some people's sight, the swords and daggers that were clearly gleaming with a cold light suddenly disappeared in a second, and Gu Yuxin's movements also came to an abrupt halt.
"I saw it," Gu Yuxin asked.
Lu Wuyai was taken aback. Looking in his direction, the longsword was gone, leaving only the hilt of the sword held in Mo Luoyi's hand.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Gu Yuxin and the others were all confused.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai noticed that Gu Yuxin had rotated the sword hilt to a certain angle again. This time, Su Xi was taken aback.
"The sword is gone!" she exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, the longsword that had just disappeared reappeared in Lu Wuyai's field of vision.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai understood and said, "This longsword, under the refraction of light, can completely hide its blade from a certain angle."
Gu Yuxin smiled and nodded; she had only realized this yesterday.
"Isn't it amazing?" Kim Seok-rok found it incredible. She took the longsword from Moloye and carefully swung it around in the open space.
Thus, this scene once again confirmed Lu Wuyai's guess.
"The longsword really disappeared." Gu Yuxin opened her mouth. This scene overturned her understanding.
From different angles, the sword disappeared in different places. Lu Wuyai was also stunned. He had never heard of such a thing before.
Finally, Kim Hee-rok stopped and exposed the blade to the sunlight.
A ray of golden light shone on it, and as a result, countless rays of light reflected in the air, forming a large number of fine golden threads, like spiky balls, fixed to the sword body, which was incredible.
"Reflected light can turn into something like this." Everyone couldn't help but step forward, reaching out their hands to touch this strange phenomenon.
But soon, they were disappointed. The golden spiked ball was like a rainbow, but they couldn't touch it.
On this day, everyone's horizons broadened.
"Stop playing around, let's get going," Lu Wuyai said. Their mission today was quite intense, and they would be starting their return journey in the afternoon.
So everyone started picking up the equipment on the ground and quickly cleaning up the traces.
Ten minutes later, they followed the drone and rushed towards the rocky peak.
Everyone moved quickly along the way, with the general following closely behind, constantly on guard against wild animals that might appear in the woods.
There are many terrible predators in the deep mountains and forests.
With a whoosh.
A cheetah suddenly leaped down from a tree branch and was shot dead by Lu Wuyai, who had overheard the news beforehand.
This happened no less than ten times in five days.
The cheetah's blood was quickly drained, and Lu Wuyai skillfully cut off its flesh, thus ending the picnic lunch.
"My marksmanship is getting better and better." Lu Wuyai laughed to himself. Because of his hearing, he could always "predict" some dangers.
Half an hour later, the surrounding light dimmed.
Lu Wuyai looked up and noticed that the nearby forest was significantly denser than before. In the distance, towering rocky peaks could be seen. The height of the mountains was even more awe-inspiring than what he had seen from the drone.
Su Xi's mouth dropped open: "Are we sure we're not on the mainland? How could a small island have such a scene?"
The others also looked up, marveling at the wonders of nature.
There are countless strangely shaped mountain peaks here, as if they were plunging from the sky to the ground, which is quite embarrassing.
Because they were pressed for time, the seven of them ventured straight into the forest over the next few hours, witnessing many natural wonders. Some rocky peaks shrank from their summits to their bases. Lu Wuyai feared that as they passed by, the mountains might suddenly tilt, and they might be left here forever.
The forest area beneath the rocky peaks is truly vast.
Lu Wuyai and his team used several drones to fly between the mountains, but found that the remaining power would not last long, and they would need drones to escort them on their return journey.
There was no other way; this plan to venture deep into the deserted island had to come to an end at this moment.
It's 1 p.m. now, and there are still six and a half hours until dusk.
It's summer now, so the days are naturally the longest of the year. At 7:30, you can still see the faint sunlight on the horizon.
After putting away their drones, Lu Wuyai and the others officially began their return journey.
"Be careful on the way back," Lu Wuyai warned, as almost everyone remembered the way back. His current concern was whether the car parked in the forest was still there.
The seven people began to walk along the path they had come from. They encountered no problems along the way and walked even faster than before. Calculating the time, they figured they might reach the forest where the car was by dusk the next day.
At three o'clock, they left the area where the rocky peaks were located. Looking back at the mountains that looked like pillars to the sky, they were still deeply awestruck.
"Have you noticed that there don't seem to be any animals in that forest?" Song Xiaoyou suddenly asked.
Lu Wuyai thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's too profound."
Looking back now, Lu Wuyai himself doesn't seem to have heard any sounds. He was just so captivated by the mountains that he didn't pay attention to anything else.
"Let's go."
The group quickly set off again; they needed to reach their next lodging before sunset.
Soon, the seven people started jogging and hurried on their way.
In the forest, the general's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, looking like a black wind surrounding everyone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone stopped at the foot of a mountain. The trees in the nearby forest were very sparse, and opposite was another cliff, Eagle's Beak Cliff. The moonlight shone on it, making it look very cold.
As for the general, he lay there, his fur gleaming in the moonlight, looking very handsome.
Inside the tent, Lu Wuyai couldn't sleep, thinking about the events of the past two days. He quietly slipped out of the tent and went to the general's side. The man and the dog sat on the cliff edge, looking down.
Below the cliff lay a vast forest, the place they had climbed up to that afternoon.
Lu Wuyai watched for a while, patted the general's head, then crawled into the tent and began to close his eyes to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, the general lying on the ground suddenly raised his head, and a white shadow flashed in the beast's eyes.
Hmph hmph hmph.
The general seemed very excited and disappeared in the blink of an eye, only reappearing near the tent at dawn.
If anyone were to see the Great General at this moment, they would definitely notice that this usually incredibly robust dog king was now trembling and panting heavily, looking as if he hadn't slept all night.
At the summit of this mountain, a white silhouette can be seen, which disappears the moment the general looks back.
At eight o'clock, Lu Wuyai and the others woke up one after another and saw that the general was still fast asleep on the cliff. They all secretly wondered if they had been pushing him too hard lately.
That day, everyone was on the road the whole time. Even when they felt tired along the way, they simply slowed down and tried to find the off-road vehicle that was left in the forest before dark.
Lu Wuyai didn't feel any discomfort. Since his body and mind were not affected by the red sword, he was in good condition during this period.
As for Gu Yuxin, who carried two longswords all day long, he didn't have any adverse reactions, which made Lu Wuyai even more convinced that the two longswords made of different materials seemed to have another story.
Around 2 p.m., the seven people stopped, took out drones from their backpacks, and began searching for off-road vehicles in the nearby forest while driving.
At 3:16, Gu Yuxin was the first to spot the bushes where the vehicle was hidden and excitedly called on the others to rush over.
"In the end, no one found out."
Watching the cars come and go, Lu Wuyai noticed that the others visibly relaxed, especially the person in the sand buggy. It was an electric vehicle, so it didn't need gasoline. This was crucial for them, as gasoline was running low. They were using a generator to produce electricity. For the time being, they didn't have to worry.
After checking the vehicle, Lu Wuyai and the others started the car and continued towards the stone mountain while it was still early.
This time, they sped through the sparse forest, appearing unusually relaxed.
Alas.
For some reason, the general was in very poor condition today. He followed behind the car, constantly whimpering, as if reminding them: slow down, or he would fall behind.
Lu Wuyai looked back at the black dog in the rearview mirror and asked in confusion, "Wasn't he fine yesterday? Why did he become such a coward overnight?"
The other women also noticed that the general was not in good condition, so they simply slowed down the car and stopped it on a small hill before dark.
That night, the general was very tired. After everyone had calmed down, he disappeared into the forest.
After leaving the dense forest deep within the deserted island, the surrounding vegetation appeared quite sparse. Lu Wuyai couldn't sleep for the time being, so he went to the mountaintop and stood there for hours, gazing at the deserted island bathed in moonlight.
When he felt tired, the night had become so dark that he couldn't see his own fingers anymore. If he hadn't eaten two green fruits and gained night vision, he would be blind now.
Back in the tent, listening to the snoring all around, everyone was exhausted from the past few days.
"The general doesn't know where he went." Lu Wuyai originally wanted to rest, but after thinking about it carefully, he ended up sitting outside the tent all night, keeping watch.
The sparse forest is actually more dangerous than the depths of a deserted island.
In the darkness, Lu Wuyai could see some animals, mostly birds, and occasionally some wolves and wild cats.
