Speaking of the terrain on this deserted island, what gave Lu Xuan the most headaches was the cliffs that blocked the coastline. Just like the cliff he had climbed over when he came here today, it split the two originally good beaches into two halves, making it take a lot of effort for him to come from the east every time.
Unexpectedly, I encountered a new cliff this time. It seemed that the cliff in front of me was much higher than the one in front of my home, and it extended all the way into the depths of the jungle, as if it seemed as if there was no end in sight.
"Let's go back to the shore and meet up with Leng Mengyao and the others first."
Lu Xuan looked up at the position of the sun. It was already past noon. He had neither the time nor the energy to explore how to cross the towering cliffs by land. His only hope was to row a boat along the sea route, bypass the cliffs, and then explore the way forward.
The reason for this idea is that although this cliff is towering, the area extending to the sea is not large. As long as you row the boat two or three hundred meters away from the coastline, you will probably be able to see the situation on the other side of the cliff clearly.
Hand in hand with Shen Keyin, the two returned to the shoreline and waved to the two girls who were still slowly paddling towards them.
Leng Mengyao immediately understood and nodded to Yin Yichen behind him. The two girls increased the frequency of paddling.
Ten minutes later, the four of them met at the beach three or four hundred meters in front of the cliff.
"Lu Xuan, is the cliff ahead blocking the way? You still haven't found the lifeboat?"
Leng Mengyao had already noticed the towering cliff a long time ago. Seeing the two people returning empty-handed, he basically guessed the result.
"Yes, Ke Yin thinks the lifeboat might have been rowed away by Zhang Cong's two minions. I think that makes sense. At the moment, we can't keep searching for the lifeboat endlessly. It's at least three hours away from our cave. If we really can't find the lifeboat, we'll need two people to return by land, and we don't have that much time."
Lu Xuan informed the three girls of the actual situation. The situation was very clear. It was estimated that there were only four hours left until dark. Therefore, in order to ensure that they could return to the cave smoothly before dark, they only had one hour at most to search for the missing lifeboat. After one hour, regardless of whether they found it or not, they had to return for safety.
"I have no objection, Ke Yin, Yi Chen, do you have any ideas?"
Leng Mengyao expressed his support for Lu Xuan's point of view. Although the second lifeboat was very important, compared with safety, any supplies had to be put aside.
"I have no objection, and I agree with Lu Xuan's opinion."
"I believe in the handsome boy!"
Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen were both Lu Xuan's loyal fans, so naturally they had no objection.
"Lu Xuan, tell me, what should we do next?"
Since everyone has no objection, the rest of the matter is very simple. There is only one hour left to see how Lu Xuan arranges the plan to find the lifeboat.
"Whoever of you has better physical strength, come with me and go west again."
Lu Xuan pointed to the place where the cliff extended to the sea. His meaning was very clear. He needed to find a partner to row to the other side of the cliff to check the situation.
As for the remaining two people, they rested together on the spot.
"Handsome guy, I'll go with you. I'm in great shape."
Yin Yichen volunteered to raise her right hand, with an excited expression on her face.
The girl was obviously very interested in adventure.
"Then Mengyao and I will wait for you here."
Shen Keyin was not pretentious. In terms of physique and endurance, she was indeed the most delicate of the three girls.
As for Leng Mengyao, she also knew her own limitations. After assessing her own strength, she decided to stay with Shen Keyin and wait.
"Hehehe, handsome boy, it's finally my turn to accompany you..."
Seeing that she could travel with Lu Xuan, the girl acted as if she was going to elope with Lu Xuan. She looked very excited and ready to go.
"Listen to my instructions and don't row aimlessly. You two, take that harpoon and this dagger. Also, take these compressed biscuits and two bottles of mineral water. Don't go anywhere, and don't stand on the shore. You'll be too conspicuous. Hide under that palm tree, eat something, replenish your energy, and wait for us to come back."
Lu Xuan helped Leng Mengyao get off the boat, sat in the front of the boat himself, and gave the two girls some special instructions.
"Lu Xuan, don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves. You should also be careful. If you really can't find it, don't force it and come back as soon as possible."
Although Chen Keyin was very worried about Lu Xuan going to explore unfamiliar places, she understood Lu Xuan's personality. Lu Xuan always kept his word and would definitely carry out what he decided. So she just said a few words of advice, and together with Leng Mengyao, she took the harpoon, dagger, drinking water and compressed biscuits handed to her by Lu Xuan, and then obediently stood under the palm tree that Lu Xuan pointed to.
"Okay, follow my instructions, paddle left, and let's go."
After settling the two girls, Lu Xuan took Yin Yichen and started heading towards the cliff.
Yin Yichen rowed so hard, her paddling frequency was even higher than Lu Xuan's.
"Don't push too hard, you won't have enough energy when you come back. Just paddle another hundred meters out to sea."
Lu Xuan was afraid that the girl would overdo it, and that he would end up having to work alone on the way back.
Fortunately, the boat controlled by the two men was less than a hundred meters away from the outermost end of the cliff.
Lu Xuan’s goal was very clear. As long as he could get around the outermost side of the cliff and see the situation on the other side clearly, he wouldn’t have to row hard anymore.
Because he now has a magical artifact in his hand: a telescope.
"Yesir!"
Yin Yichen playfully saluted Lu Xuan's back, and then continued paddling the bamboo paddle according to Lu Xuan's instructions.
"Alright, there's still thirty meters to go. That's about it. Strike another fifty, then rest here. Drink some water and eat some biscuits to replenish your energy."
Lu Xuan had already adjusted the direction of the bow of the boat so that he could better see the situation on the other side of the cliff.
"Okay, forty-nine, forty-eight... eighteen, seventeen... three, two, one. Call it a day."
Yin Yichen was very obedient. When Lu Xuan asked her to row fifty times, she did not hesitate to do so. As soon as she had rowed fifty times, she quickly put away the bamboo paddle and started to gulp down the mineral water.
Seeing Yin Yichen finish half a bottle in one breath, it was obvious that this girl had put in a lot of effort.
Lu Xuan had no time to rest. After the boat had completely come to a stop and the entire coastline on the other side of the cliff came into view, Lu Xuan picked up the still-warm telescope he had just received and began to examine the situation on the other side of the cliff...
From left to right, Lu Xuan scanned the area...
Just as he came across a sunken beach, Lu Xuan suddenly made a major discovery...
