Before Qin Jicheng opened his mouth, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Xuan, the big devil in his mind at the moment. Seeing the other party's man-eating look, he couldn't speak clearly.
"I...I...we came...came here, five of us...but we originally wanted to...want to land on that...that...that offshore island, but...we encountered a rip current and the boat capsized. They...they all died...I'm the only one who survived."
Qin Jianli's words contained a lot of information. Lu Xuan and others took a long time to digest it. It was Leng Mengyao who spoke first.
"Offshore island? Which island are you referring to?"
"That one over there... the one across the shore from our island."
Qin Jicheng pointed to the east.
Hearing this, everyone thought of the island on the parchment map that was right next to their own island.
"Lu Xuan, is this the island we saw through the telescope on the rock wall last time?"
Shen Keyin also immediately remembered the island that she and Lu Xuan had discovered at that time.
"It should be right. This island has a name? What's the problem with rip currents?"
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, but as a poor student, he didn't seem to understand what the man was saying.
"A rip current, also known as a rip current, is a narrow, powerful stream of water that flows out to sea at a direction perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the coast."
Qin Jicheng is indeed a professional. He can tell Lu Xuan about this knowledge that he has never heard of before.
However, Lu Xuan still didn't quite understand...
"Damn it, speak human language..."
Lu Xuan raised his foot to kick the other person again, but Qin Jicheng quickly took a step back and immediately explained again.
"Simply put, it is a current that poses a safety threat to swimmers, boats and offshore structures."
Now Lu Xuan understood. To put it bluntly, Qin Jianli's landing ship capsized because of the broken water current.
"No... Your boat capsized, everyone died, and you're the only one left. How did you find six accomplices? You're making fun of me, aren't you? Damn you..."
However, Lu Xuan thought about it for a moment and found that something seemed to be wrong, so he brought up the other uncle again.
Qin Jianli was so upset when he heard Lu Xuan's words. Is this man still unreasonable? His six accomplices were forced out by him, so why are you picking on him now?
Oh, heaven, oh, earth, please send a god to take away this monster.
Although he felt helpless, Qin Jicheng had seen how Lu Xuan greeted his uncles, so he had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"I...I was wrong, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I was afraid of being beaten by you, so I lied. I came here alone this time. I really didn't lie. If I lied, I would let the thunder strike me to death."
In order to prevent his grandfathers from receiving warm greetings from Lu Xuan, Qin Jicheng had no choice but to swear an oath on himself.
"Good boy, Xin, you're teasing me, right? I won't punish you now, but I'll keep this account with you."
Lu Xuan wiped the corner of his mouth and glared at the other person with gritted teeth.
When Qin Jianli heard this, he panicked again. Why did this man also bring accountants with him?
"Then why did you come to us this time? And... did you find the so-called treasure?"
Fortunately, Leng Mengyao was present, which prevented Qin Jicheng from being beaten down by Lu Xuan. At this time, the girl was more concerned about the purpose of this man coming here.
"Boss Leng, I'm forced to do this. That damn guy forced me to go to the offshore island to find the parchment scrolls, saying that one of the parchment scroll maps is on that island. This is killing me. How can I go there alone?"
Qin Jianli also sighed deeply at this time.
"Damn it? Who are you referring to? Who told you that the parchment was on that island?"
The more he asked, the more questions Leng Mengyao had. Qin Jianli was still clutching his butt, but the people before him didn't even bother to let him sit, let alone treat his injuries or relieve the pain. Fortunately, the bamboo raft had blocked most of the force from Lu Xuan's previous attack. The bamboo fork had broken through the bamboo before it stabbed his butt, preventing it from being bruised on the spot.
But this pain is really painful...
At that moment, as a prisoner, he naturally had no right to protest and could only continue to answer Leng Mengyao's questions obediently.
"They are from that cannibal tribe. There are several modern humans there, and they seem to care about the treasure as well."
"Then why don't they go to that offshore island to look for the parchment themselves? Why do they have to ask you to go?"
After hearing this, Shen Keyin found it very difficult to understand. If this man really found it, he would just give it to someone else.
"Ah... that's sending me to my death. To get to that island, I need a boat that can sail out to the open sea."
Qin Jicheng sighed and shook his head again.
"Isn't this island just on the other side? It feels quite close to our island. Why do we have to go out to sea? I think we can just swim across."
Shen Keyin had looked at the island through a telescope from atop a rock face. It looked like the two islands were quite close together; she'd even initially thought there was only a river running between the two lands. But how could this man's words imply that a boat was absolutely necessary, and one that could sail out to sea?
At that moment, not to mention Shen Keyin, even everyone including Lu Xuan expressed confusion.
"Everyone, this is a long story..."
Qin Jicheng rubbed his butt and sighed deeply again.
"Don't tell me it's a long story. If it's a long story, just make it short. Otherwise..."
"I say, I say..."
Seeing the big devil next to him who was about to beat someone up if they disagreed with him, Qin Jicheng immediately begged for mercy. He had no choice but to continue covering his butt while trying to explain to everyone present.
"Although the sea area between the two islands may not be large, it's extremely dangerous. Not only are there rip currents, but there are also swells and ocean eddies. It was only after I visited this place that I realized that the three major killers of the ocean could exist in one place. It's simply terrifying."
Although Lu Xuan and others might not understand all this professional knowledge, but seeing the expression of the man in front of them, they knew that it seemed that getting onto the island would not be an easy task.
"Then how do we get there? And why is it said that the parchment scroll is on that island? Who told you that?"
When mentioning the parchment map, Leng Mengyao was also full of curiosity. Although his group did not desire treasure, everyone still wanted to know where the so-called treasure was and what was inside.
