"Brother Lu Xuan, we seem to have passed it! Huh..."
Two minutes later, Taylor finally breathed a sigh of relief. The most dangerous period was finally over.
"Damn it, why is it so dangerous here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. He was really scared just now. If his group got caught here, it would be too tragic.
"Your Majesty...this..."
Qin Jicheng looked aggrieved again. He was about to explain a few words, but when he saw Lu Xuan's face, he immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
"Brother Lu Xuan, the wind and waves have obviously died down. Do we need to go ashore? Or should we just go around the island and go back directly?"
After crossing that turbulent sea, the wind and waves seemed to have softened, becoming gentle and peaceful. If they hadn't just experienced the thrilling scene firsthand, it would be hard to believe that these two adjacent seas could be so different.
"Just get the boat back safely today. Hey, you lead the way. If anything goes wrong again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
It was not easy to get through such dangerous waves and whirlpools. Not to mention the girls, even Lu Xuan himself, a grown man, only wanted to drive the boat back safely first. As for whether to land on the offshore island, that was a matter for later.
"My lord, we just need to... just go around the offshore island. We don't need to get too close. Two or three hundred meters from the coastline will be enough. This will also minimize gasoline consumption. But..."
"Don't waste time, say what you want to say, and fart now!"
Hearing that the man was still hesitant in speaking, Lu Xuan impatiently slapped the man on the head again.
"Don't hit me... Don't hit me... I'm telling you... Even to the north of the island, where the two islands meet, it's still very dangerous..."
“Ah! It’s not going to be like that again… is it?!”
They had finally gotten through such a thrilling moment, but now they knew they had reached the north bank and had to do it again. Not to mention Shen Keyin, the most timid girl, even Lu Xuan himself was a little nervous.
"Then tell Taylor in advance to avoid that place. If you do it again like you did just now, I'll skin you alive!"
Lu Xuan barged in another barrage of warnings.
"Okay, okay... I will definitely let you know in advance."
Qin Jicheng nodded tremblingly, then sat obediently next to Taylor and cooperated with him in setting up the boat.
"Lu Xuan, this parchment is wet. What should we do?"
Leng Mengyao, who was sitting at the back of the boat, didn't even bother to take care of his wet hair. He immediately took out the wrapped parchment scroll from his bag.
However, due to the strong wind and waves just now, the small boat did not even have a shed. At this time, everyone on the boat, both men and women, were soaked. The backpack that Leng Mengyao was carrying was not spared. The parchment scroll wrapped in the backpack was even soaked by the sea water.
"It's wet, so what? It's all just scribbled on here anyway. Apart from those few scattered letters that spell out 'treasure', there's nothing else to make out."
While wiping her hair behind Lu Xuan, Yin Yichen glanced with disdain at the parchment scroll that Leng Mengyao regarded as a treasure.
"Mengyao, it seems to be really wet. Let me help you dry it."
When Chen Keyin saw her best friend wiping the parchment scroll nervously, she hurried to help.
"Mengyao...look here, there seem to be letters as well."
As the two girls were wiping, Chen Keyin suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some more letters on the original parchment scroll.
"This is...centr...is the last letter an 'e'?"
Leng Mengyao never expected that after being washed by sea water, this thing would actually have some more letters. The two of them worked together to spell out a simple word.
"Does this mean centre? What does this mean?"
Although both girls guessed what the word was, the word "center" suddenly popped up without any context, which confused the two smart girls.
"Does this mean we're going to the center of a deserted island? Where's the treasure?"
Shen Keyin thought for a moment and put forward a hypothesis?
"The center of the deserted island? This island is neither a circle nor a square. It's crooked. Where is the center?"
Yin Yichen's words were rough but true. This deserted island is an irregular shape, so how can you find the center?
Leng Mengyao stared at the word for a long time without saying anything. After a long silence, he asked Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, did you bring the parchment scroll? And did you bring the map that Jessica drew?"
Hearing the girl ask this, Lu Xuan also realized that this smart female president must have some ideas, but... he did not bring these two things with him when he went out this time, and left them in the cave.
"I didn't bring it with me because I was going on a long trip. I'll show it to you when I get back. Did you find anything?"
Lu Xuan looked at Leng Mengyao curiously.
"Not really... I just wanted to see the shape of our island..."
"Look, look, there seems to be a river and a small hill over there."
At this moment, Yin Yichen pointed to the front left and shouted excitedly.
At this time, the boat driven by Taylor had turned to the north, indicating that the island was indeed not large as Qin Jicheng described. Not long after sailing, they reached the end.
Everyone looked in the direction of Yin Yichen's finger, and saw a gap on the island on the left side of the boat, dividing the island into two parts.
However, after experiencing the previous thrilling experience, a seed of caution seemed to be planted in the hearts of everyone on the ship, and they were all wary of this kind of terrain.
The shadow of the whirlpool lingered like a nightmare, making people fear that if they weren't careful, they would be swept into the abyss by an invisible force, repeating that heart-wrenching experience. In these uncharted waters, even the slightest ripple was enough to set everyone on edge.
"Let's not get close, it's too scary..."
Chen Keyin kept shaking her head.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, but asked another question.
"Hey, have you ever been to this place? Where does this river lead to?"
Lu Xuan dragged Qin Jianli over again. The man had been at the bow, helping Taylor steer the boat, when he was suddenly dragged over by the devil Lu. He nervously explained, "I've never been in this direction, but this river should lead to the north shore of the island. I've seen a river there before..."
Leading to the north bank? Hearing Qin Jianli say this, Lu Xuan had another idea in his mind...
