The shark had only pulled the boat a few hundred meters when suddenly, the volcano on the island erupted violently. At that moment, the entire sea trembled.
Even in the darkness of night, the spewing lava reflected a vibrant orange-red sky.
Even through the firelight, Gu Xi could clearly see the sky instantly obscured by thick smoke and dust.
A deafening roar erupted as lava surged from the crater like a fiery dragon, meandering down the mountainside.
The waves also became turbulent due to the volcanic eruption.
Gu Xi stood at the bow of the ship, her gaze fixed on the erupting volcano. She could feel the deck beneath her feet trembling slightly.
She frowned, her expression serious, and immediately gave the sharks a command to speed up. The sharks seemed to sense the urgency, and they all swung their tails faster, increasing their speed.
Besides the sharks, the octopus and the shark king also realized the danger and joined the fight.
The octopus's two tentacles gripped the front of the boat tightly, dragging it forward. Meanwhile, the shark king swam behind the boat, using its head to push against the stern and propel it forward.
With the combined efforts of the man and the fish, the boat successfully escaped the dangerous waters.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Gu Xi felt the cool sea breeze on her face, and her tense emotions gradually calmed down.
Ever since the Eternal Night began, her luck has been terrible. First, she "encountered" the Deep Sea Clan, then she was buried by "garbage," then she encountered a powerful earthquake, and finally, she found an island, only to be met with a volcanic eruption!
Fortunately, she was able to scavenge gold in the garbage dump and collect enough stone lizard eggshells on the volcanic island, which was enough to soothe her heart, which was pounding nonstop.
The deep sea is really too dangerous. If you're not careful, you could drown at any moment. She wanted to see where she was now and why there were so many accidents.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi took out a map of the sea area to check.
However, I was shocked when I looked. Where was she now?!
Gu Xi checked the markings repeatedly and carefully, but the ship's markings seemed to have vanished into thin air, and she couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked.
She looked miserable and deflated. She didn't even know when she had strayed from her original fishing area.
After frowning, she began to recall the last time she had looked at the sea map, and then connected it with recent events.
Finally, she narrowed down the clues to the time period when the underwater earthquake occurred. The huge waves at that time were so fierce that they could easily have caused the ship to deviate from its course.
If that's the case, then she shouldn't be too far from her original course. If nothing unexpected happens, she's probably in the sea at a depth of around 1800 meters.
However, as the ship continues its journey, once it enters waters 2,000 meters deep, the map's directional function ceases to be effective.
This means that regardless of whether she finds the original route, the map will become a piece of waste paper.
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly realized that this map was about to become obsolete, and whether or not she could return to the original route was not so important.
Gu Xi relaxed her brows and then tossed the map back into her backpack.
She's not leaving now; she still has two more days to get to the island!
Looking at the volcanic island, even if she can't go up tomorrow, there's always the day after tomorrow! She'll explore it again the day after tomorrow.
Having figured this out, Gu Xi immediately threw herself into the tedious work. First, she stored the eggshells in the storage box. Then, without any delay, she immediately began the intense and orderly training.
Just as she was improving her strength, a major event was brewing in area 2333.
District 2333, Regional Chat Group (99041/100000):
"Are there any places not selling food? I don't think there's a shortage of food, so why is there no food for sale?"
