"Let me ask you again, will there be a whirlpool like the one just now in this place? Is it dangerous?"
As the team leader, safety always comes first. I was inexperienced before, but I learned from my mistakes. Only a fool would fail twice on the same problem. This time, Lu Xuan naturally wanted to get a clear answer.
"No, absolutely not. This place is completely different from that place. Look, there's a bay here. Not only are there no whirlpools or currents, but because of the protection of this protrusion, it's calm here."
As a professionally trained person, Qin Jicheng was full of confidence when he mentioned this professional knowledge. He pointed to the terrain ahead and gave everyone some geographical knowledge.
"Taylor, turn, we're going this way!"
Since this place was safe, Lu Xuan waved his hand and ordered Taylor to turn.
"Ah? Lu Xuan, we're not going around the island? Isn't it unsafe to go here?"
When Shen Keyin heard that Lu Xuan actually asked Taylor to turn around, she stood up from her seat nervously.
"It's okay. I think it's calm here too. If we go north from here, we can shorten our journey and maybe even get a general idea of what the island is like."
As time passed, the uneasiness and panic I had just felt had mostly dissipated. Since there was a shortcut, why should I take the longer route? What's more, I really wanted to take a good look at this offshore island.
"Brother Lu Xuan, I'm turning, everyone hold on tight."
Taylor always follows Lu Xuan's lead. When Lu Xuan asked him to turn now, the guy started to execute the turning order without saying a word.
"Keep watching closely. If there's any danger and you don't spot it in time, you'll be held responsible."
After questioning Qin Jianli, Lu Xuan sent him back to continue cooperating with Taylor in sailing.
Qin Jicheng's face was full of grievance and depression again. This order was given by the big devil himself, but he was the one to bear the unknown risk. This man was really the devil in the world. He didn't make any sense at all.
But he had no choice but to live under someone else's roof, and his life and death depended entirely on that person's words. Even if Qin Jicheng had complaints in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word. He had to sit back next to Taylor and serve as Taylor's guide seriously.
"Oh yeah, there's something fun to do again."
At the moment, Yin Yichen was the most excited girl. She was restless and curious. She felt that sailing on the sea was a bit boring. Now that the ship turned and advanced into the interior of the island, the girl had new fun.
Unlike before, the closer the boat got to the island, the calmer the wind and waves grew, as if nature had deliberately restrained its wildness. As the boat slowly entered the river's mouth, the sea miraculously became calm, like a tranquil and far-reaching painting unfolding before our eyes.
Sunlight penetrated the clouds, casting a dappled light and shadow, gilding the sea with a dazzling golden glow. The outline of the island loomed on the shimmering water, as mysterious as a mirage. The air was filled with the faint scent of sea salt, mingled with the fragrance of the island's unique vegetation, creating a refreshing and invigorating feeling, as if all worries were gently washed away by the sea breeze.
The river flows slowly, carrying the coolness and purity of the island's depths, gently lapping against the side of the boat, creating a melodious gurgling sound. Lush trees stand on the shore like sentinels, their emerald green leaves gleaming with life in the sunlight. Occasionally, the crisp chirp of a bird pierces the tranquility, adding a touch of vitality and vibrancy to the scene.
At this moment, the boat seems to have become a bridge connecting two worlds, one side is the turbulent sea, and the other side is this quiet and peaceful island paradise.
"Brother Lu Xuan, the river is quite wide, enough for our boat to pass through."
As the helmsman of the ship, Taylor dared not slack off for a moment, especially when the ship entered the river, the young man became extremely alert.
On the other hand, the girls at the back of the boat looked more like tourists visiting the island. They looked here and there from time to time, and found everything new.
"Handsome boy, this island looks nice. Look, there are lots of coconut trees here and there. Do you think there are any freshwater fish in the river?"
Yin Yichen was naturally the most excited one. If this girl wasn't on the boat at the moment, if she were allowed to go ashore, she would definitely run away.
"If this river connects two seas, there shouldn't be any freshwater fish. This river is actually just part of the ocean."
Leng Mengyao gave Yin Yichen a very rational answer.
"The scenery is nice, but the island is too small. I guess there won't be many resources."
At this time, Lu Xuan was also looking around the island from time to time. Although the scenery here was beautiful, the island was too small and there was no possibility of fresh water resources, so it could not be compared with his residence.
"Brother Lu Xuan, the river ahead is getting narrower."
After the boat moved forward for another ten minutes, Taylor found that the river ahead began to narrow. He was still a little worried, so he specifically informed Lu Xuan.
"Reduce the speed of the boat and proceed slowly. Hey, Mr. Qin, have you been to this place before? Is the front passable?"
Lu Xuan's choice to take this path was somewhat "blocking", after all, the ability of the people traveling along the river was an unknown.
"I've been here before. I remember the rock face on the left. It was because of that rock face that I didn't continue walking east..."
Unexpectedly, Qin Jicheng was full of confidence at this moment. He raised his hand lightly, and his fingertips leisurely pointed to a yellow-brown cliff beside the left river bank.
Following his slightly guiding gesture, I saw a cliff standing tall on the river bank, like an uninvited guest, forcibly inserting a steep barrier on the flat ground, abrupt and spectacular.
On the top of the cliff, several tenacious pine trees are rooted in the cracks of the rocks, and their branches and leaves are swaying in the wind, as if they are the only symbol of life in this lonely place. They appear particularly bright in the sunset, adding a touch of vitality to the cold stone wall.
Taylor slowed down the boat according to Lu Xuan's instructions, trying to keep the boat moving in the center of the river.
After successfully passing this relatively narrow river channel, the river channel ahead became open again and was even wider than the previous one.
"Brother Lu Xuan, look ahead... We should be almost through the island, and the northern sea should be ahead."
When "Captain" Taylor looked up into the distance, he suddenly realized that there was an endless sea ahead.
"Okay, great! Taylor, speed up!"
"My king, after setting out to sea, do not head directly west. You must continue north, away from the coastline..."
Just when Lu Xuan was full of confidence, Qin Jianli was pointing to the north with a nervous expression...
