Although it is hard to accept, they have to face reality now.
They are now truly trapped on this unknown, dilapidated island.
Li Yang immediately felt a headache coming on. He had finally found the exit and left that awful place, but now they had dragged him into this hellish place. All his joy had been for nothing.
This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.
Alas, this journey has been as precarious as walking on thin ice. Will I be able to reach the other side?
"As we all know, the limits of us professionals far exceed those of ordinary people. Do you think it's possible for us to swim directly to the mainland?" Li Yang joked.
"Is that even possible? Compared to that, it seems more reliable to build our own boat and drift back." Zisu sighed.
Li Yang gave a wry smile.
"Even if there were a boat, it might not be able to drift back. We don't even know where we are or how far the nearest road is."
From the current perspective, their location may indeed be a bit remote, as all they can see in all directions is the vast ocean, clearly indicating that they are quite far from the land.
An ordinary boat really can't drift back.
To be honest, Li Yang was also a little confused.
How the hell did this lead to such a godforsaken place? It doesn't make any sense at all.
The only possibility is that the exit was tampered with, and they unknowingly walked into the portal.
There is no other way.
Li Yang suddenly wondered if everything they were seeing was just an illusion? If that were the case, that would be great.
However, at this moment, even hoping that these are illusions is a luxury.
Li Yang looked at Qinglong and suddenly said.
"Azure Dragon, you can't transform into a dragon and drag us all the way back, can you?"
Li Yang felt a little embarrassed. It was true that he had been asking Qinglong about everything along the way, treating him like a beast of burden.
Qinglong shook his head.
At this point, even it is powerless.
"My current energy limit is still limited, and I can't guarantee that I can finish the race. It would be bad if I ran out of energy halfway through."
Li Yang understood that what Qinglong said was true. It was like flying a plane; if you suddenly ran out of fuel mid-flight, especially at sea, you'd be doomed.
Li Yang felt somewhat confused.
However, he felt that things probably wouldn't end like that.
Then, knowing that this exit leads here, there must be a way to leave. Otherwise, wouldn't creating an exit just trap oneself on this island? That would be ridiculous, pure nonsense.
There must be something on this island that they haven't discovered yet.
Thinking of this, Li Yang suddenly had an idea.
Then, as if possessed, he found himself at a certain spot on the island.
This deserted island looks completely empty; it's deserted as far as the eye can see, like a house that's been burgled.
But Li Yang knew that the island was not so simple.
Because they had been to this island before, inside the Black Tower, and they had discovered some things there.
If these two sides correspond to each other, they correspond to reality.
Then there must be something fishy about their place as well.
Before that, they had dug something out of the island.
At this moment, Li Yang once again found himself in this place, as if by some strange twist of fate.
Without saying a word, he started digging.
Whether it's useful or not, we still have to do it. At this point, we always have to take action; it's much better than standing still and questioning our existence.
Soon, after Li Yang's tireless digging...
Finally, he encountered something hard.
A thought struck Li Yang, and he quickly began digging.
Not long after, Li Yang finally unearthed what was inside.
Li Yang took it out and looked at it.
Good heavens, just as expected, it's another treasure chest!
This is exactly the same as what he dug out when he came before.
And yet, they appeared here again at this moment.
Even Li Yang was taken aback. He had only thought of trying his luck since he had nothing else to do anyway.
He then quickly summoned Qinglong and Zisuye.
After seeing the treasure chest, the two of them remembered it.
After all, they had dug it out together, and Qinglong still remembered that they had gotten something from the treasure chest.
Thinking of this, Qinglong searched his body for a while and then took out the small treasure chest.
Goodness, this is getting interesting.
I came to this place twice and dug things up both times.
So what's in their box now?
It can't possibly be the exact same thing, right? Besides, they've already taken everything from inside.
With this question in mind, Li Yang took a deep breath and then opened the treasure chest.
Yes, it's exactly the literal meaning of "open".
This treasure chest is completely sealed, just like before. It cannot be opened by conventional means; only brute force can open it.
They had tried and knew this before, so Li Yang did not hesitate and took coercive measures directly.
As the box was opened, its contents were revealed.
However, the scenes inside are indeed a bit different!
You see, when they opened it before, another box appeared, so they didn't act rashly then.
At this moment, Li Yang originally thought that they had already retrieved the contents of the box, and that there would be nothing left when they opened it again. However, he did not expect that there was still something there, and it was something new, not the original small box! There were no nesting dolls.
What appeared before them was a key!
When Li Yang saw this thing, he was stunned for a moment.
What the heck? There's no treasure chest with a key inside, are you kidding me?
What's even more bizarre is that the box doesn't have a keyhole; it can only be opened by force. And once it's opened, a key appears inside, which is quite ridiculous. What's the saying? The thing that was missing on the outside came out from inside.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Not only Li Yang's expression was indescribable.
When Zisuye saw this thing, she also rubbed her forehead.
What is this thing? It actually dropped a key.
How should they use it? That's the real question; what does it all mean?
They had no idea what the key was used to open.
Li Yang was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought he would get something useful, but this was even worse than getting a piece of equipment, which would at least be somewhat useful.
What's with the key being revealed?
Is it necessary to hide a key in any secret way?
Could it be that there's something on this deserted island that we could use a key for?
I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it at all.
