The two walked and chatted, unknowingly walking for over four hours!
But still did not find a water source!
Not to mention rivers or streams, there was not even a ditch or mud pit!
It looks like the drought on this island has lasted for too long.
Lin Qianqian was a little tired, and also a little worried: "Have we walked too far!"
Lu Zhe observed the surroundings.
Through the gaps in the woods, one could vaguely see the ocean in the distance.
Have we circled to the other side of the sea island?
He looked through the gaps in the branches to see the direction of the sun, and felt something was wrong.
Then he took out half a bottle, poured in some water, put it on the ground, and then placed the magnetic compass card on it!
As the water calmed down, the magnetic strip eventually pointed in one direction!
To make sure, Lu Zhe tried three times in different positions, and the results were the same!
He frowned slightly!
"What's wrong?" Lin Qianqian asked.
"Like the campsite, it points to the ocean in the opposite direction!"
"That's not very normal, is it?"
"Not normal!" Lu Zhe shook his head: "After walking so far, in theory we should have walked to the side or back of the sea island, but the result is still on the same side of the sea island as the campsite!"
"This means..."
"This island is too big, isn't it!"
Lin Qianqian looked around: "It does seem very big..."
"I thought this island was bigger than initially imagined, but looking at it now, it must be at least ten square kilometers, almost catching up to a medium-sized town!"
"Such a big island should have fresh water!"
"Maybe the drought has lasted too long..." Lu Zhe said, squatting down to carefully observe the geologic structure under his feet: "Look here!"
"What's the matter?"
Lu Zhe pointed at some moss: "If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a stream here, but it dried up so long ago that plants grew over it!"
Lin Qianqian didn't notice at first, but after Lu Zhe pointed it out, she looked closely.
From the mountain down, the vegetation in a path indeed looked different from other places!
After thinking about it, these were traces left by flowing stream water eroding the land.
"It's true, what a pity it's dried up!" Lin Qian thought for a moment: "The alternation of cold and heat is obvious here, theoretically there should be a lot of rainwater!"
Lu Zhe also thought about this problem: "Normally it should be like this. Perhaps this island has some unknown special climate characteristics."
"What should we do then?"
Lu Zhe thought for a while: "Searching like this is useless. Even if we walk until night, we may not be able to find water! We have to think of a way to climb to the highest point of the island and overlook the entire island from above. Perhaps we can find a water source that way!"
"But..." Lin Qianqian was a little tired: "Let's not climb to the peak today, okay?"
"Of course!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "To climb to the top of the mountain requires more thorough preparation. Based on the current estimated size of the mountain, our preparations are still not enough to enter the jungle!"
"What else do we need?"
"Hammocks, more coconut water, and preparations to spend the night in the woods!"
"Spend the night in the woods?"
"Yes!"
"That's too dangerous, isn't it!"
"If the rescue team doesn't come, these are things we must go through. Let's rest for a while, eat something, and call it a day for today!"
With that said, Lu Zhe took off his backpack to take out the coconut water and jerky.
Lin Qianqian sighed and found a rock to sit on!
At this moment, she did not notice an uninvited guest lying on the rock.
Suddenly, a pain came from below!
"Ow!"
"What's wrong?"
Panic was written all over Lin Qianqian's face: "Below, was stung by..."
"What?"
Lu Zhe rushed over quickly and slowly helped Lin Qianqian up!
It turned out that under where she was sitting was a flattened large scorpion!
Lu Zhe was shocked.
Goodness, this scorpion was 10 centimeters long, pitch black all over, with a red tail!
Lu Zhe was surprised. This guy looks hard to mess with!
Lin Qianqian immediately cried in fright: "It's over, it stung me!"
He hurriedly picked up the dead scorpion with his hand, and information about this scorpion came to his mind!
"Malayan Forest Scorpion...can be used medicinally, kept as pets. Its venom is generally not lethal, but can cause swelling, pain, and mild muscle discomfort."
It looks scary, but is not actually very poisonous!
That's right, creatures like scorpions are different from other venomous insects. Scorpions from cold and desert areas have the strongest venom, while most scorpions in tropical rainforests actually have average venom.
So, don't be fooled by this guy's fierce looks. In the animal world, he relies not so much on his tail stinger, but more on his two big pincers.
Lu Zhe sighed while holding up the scorpion.
The scorpion was just sunbathing here when a little beauty sat down and crushed it to death.
Seeing that the venom was not very toxic, Lu Zhe felt relieved.
But still, swelling for three days and muscle discomfort must be quite unpleasant!
"What should I do? What should I do!"
"Try not to move around too much. Don't worry, this scorpion is not very poisonous. Rest for a while, I'll carry you when we walk."
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
