Chapter 471 Jiji Extra (14)
"Pei'er, how are you?" Before he could stand firmly, Jiji ran towards Xun Pei'er.
"Wow, husband!" The other party had let go of the tree and ran over hurriedly. Her body looked fine, but her face was covered with tears.
Gigi was terrified: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? How's your waist?"
The ropes were tied around the waist. He pulled them hard just now and I don't know if he was injured.
"Husband!" Xun Pei'er cried even louder. "There are so many bugs on that tree! See if any have landed on me! I'm so scared!"
Gigi: “…”
"It's okay, it's okay. Let me take a look." He carefully checked Pei'er from head to toe, and only let her feel at ease after making sure there were no bugs.
"Does your waist really not hurt?" Gigi asked.
Xun Pei'er's eyes flashed with hesitation: "Actually, there is a little bit, but it doesn't matter, I can just rub it."
Gigi subconsciously wanted to say that he would rub it for her, but in the end she didn't have the courage to say it.
They have been married for two years, and the most intimate thing they have done is holding hands and hugging each other, nothing else.
In the end, he just pressed on her back and gave her some spiritual power.
Only after Xun Pei'er had truly recovered did the two of them carefully look at this so-called island.
It is more like a huge rock protruding from the sea than an island.
Because there are vertical cliffs all around, far above sea level, and the cliffs are smooth and slippery from the waves, it is impossible for ordinary people to climb to this island.
There are some trees and bushes growing on the island, not too densely. Light can shine through, and if you look closely, you can see flying insects and some small animals.
The outer circle is sand and gravel, clean and tidy, like a road walked by people.
Finally arrived at the destination, but there is no way back... Gigi thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud, for fear that his Pei'er would worry.
The boat had been shattered into pieces. Even if one could use spiritual power to build a raft, it would be impossible to escape the turbulent sea water below.
"Husband, what are you thinking about? Let's find a place to watch the stars at night!" Xun Pei'er wiped away her tears and urged excitedly.
"Then let's take a look from the outside first." Gigi held Xun Pei'er's hand. "The crew said there are whirlpools and currents here, and there are also man-eating dragons. Now that we have seen the whirlpool, there might really be a dragon. We must be careful and vigilant."
How could he deserve such a brave and considerate wife like Pearl?
Jiji drew his dagger, ready to fight at any time.
He walked a little further and quickly stopped when he saw the scene in front of him.
"What the hell are these?" Guido muttered to himself.
On the shore lay some giant beasts that he had never seen before. They were not dragons as the crew had said. They were lying on the ground, with sharp teeth and powerful limbs, and looked extremely aggressive.
Fortunately, they all seem to be asleep now, huddled together, looking lazy.
"It's a crocodile!" Pearl said suddenly, "I've seen them in trees. Although they are called fish, they don't need to be completely in the water. They can come to the shore!"
"Will they attack invaders?" Guiji suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xun Pei'er nodded affirmatively, "There are too many of them. We must avoid them."
"It's not appropriate to alert the enemy now. We have to go inside." Jiji set up a protective shield around Xun Pei'er. "There may be a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and ants in there. I'm sorry to bother you, Pei'er. If you are scared, just close your eyes and I will lead you."
"I'm not afraid." Pearl said this, still holding Gigi's arm tightly.
She is fearless except for insects.
As Gigi led her deeper into the forest, he was thinking about a question.
Although those creatures called "crocodiles" can move out of water, it is impossible for them to stay away from water completely.
The fact that they have survived for so long means there must be a water source on the island.
He didn't care; Pearl was in desperate need of water.
He extended his spiritual power and heard the faint sound of flowing water in the distance. He took Xun Pei'er and walked in that direction. Sure enough, he saw a stream as wide as the length of his forearm.
When he saw the stream, he did not run up to it immediately, but instead observed the surroundings to see if there were other ferocious beasts. Only when he saw that it was safe did he go up to taste it.
After confirming that it was fresh water, he filled Pei'er's water bottle, and Xun Pei'er drank quite a bit.
"It's still strange." Gigi shook his head slowly. "The stream is so far from the shore, and there are no crocodiles here. Do those fish really need water?"
Xun Pei'er also showed a puzzled expression.
Obviously, all animals need water.
"Let's go upstream along the stream, maybe we'll find something else," said Gigi.
As we walked, the terrain became higher and higher, and there was no vegetation on the top of the island, but only bare stones.
"There's someone there!" Xun Pei'er exclaimed.
Jiji was shocked and looked around quickly. He had just released his spiritual power to detect that there was no living person nearby!
Looking more closely...
"Don't be afraid, it's just a corpse." He comforted Xun Pei'er, "Wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
"I, I'm not afraid. I want to follow my husband."
Only by being with my husband can I feel safest.
The two men walked up to the dead body and found that the person was "sitting" on a large stone pier, with his legs relaxed and his back straight.
There were still a few pieces of his clothes left, but his flesh had completely decayed and disappeared, leaving only white bones covered with a thin layer of sand, which must have been blown by the wind.
"Don't look." Gigi tried to cover Pearl's eyes with her hands.
"I'm not afraid." Xun Pei'er repeated it again and began to observe the bones with him.
Gigi had no choice but to give up.
"I don't know who he is." He searched the corpse's clothes gently but found nothing.
"Is he here also to watch the stars?" Xun Pei'er asked back.
Jiji suddenly realized: "You are right! He might... also be from our Shen family."
Looking more closely, I found that the dead body's hands were tucked into its sleeves, with the fingers bent, as if it was holding something.
Jiji had a flash of inspiration and gently stuffed the family heirloom bag on his waist into the bones of the corpse.
Sure enough...it fits perfectly.
"This man died here holding this sword, and then someone else landed on this island, took the sword away, and finally it fell into my hands!" He quickly analyzed the sequence.
"In other words, he is very likely an ancestor of my husband's family," Xun Pei'er added.
