Chapter 37 Exploring the Island
【5th day of arrival at the island】
It took four days for Mo Yun and Chi Muyun to escape from the fear of diarrhea. Because diarrhea will lose a lot of water, both of them felt weak and in poor condition for a long time.
So they simply took a few days off and waited until the fifth day before their condition recovered.
"It's dawn."
Mo Yun raised his head from the soft branches and grass leaves laid in the cave, removed the woven grass leaves cushion on his body, stood up, walked out of the cave, and stretched.
He watched the golden sun wheel slowly rise to the sky.
The entire island became brighter.
He simply washed his face and rinsed his mouth with fresh water. He heard Chi Muyun walk out of the cave as well.
"Good morning."
The girl rubbed her eyes and greeted him sleepily.
"Do you... feel better?"
"It's okay." Chi Muyun's face turned a little red, "I won't drink coconut milk again..."
“There are still a lot of vitamins in it.”
Mo Yun also became a little embarrassed.
He thought of the scene that night again.
simply……
He no longer wants to mention it.
"Ahem... Then from today on, we will officially explore this island."
Mo Yun hurriedly changed the topic. What happened that night made him and Chi Muyun very, very embarrassed, but after the embarrassment, the relationship between the two became much closer. Without saying too much, you can naturally understand the other party's meaning.
Perhaps this is the tacit understanding cultivated from embarrassment.
"Okay." Chi Muyun nodded.
After simply washing up, she picked up the fresh water and grilled fish prepared a few days ago, put it in a pocket made of branches, and carried it with her. At the same time, she picked up another spear and stone knife made by Mo Yun.
Although they have not explored the island these days, they have made a lot of preparations to explore the island. The net bag is woven with elastic branches, the rope is twisted with peeled bark, and the stone knife and spear are also made by Mo Yun for Chi Muyun to facilitate her self-defense.
"Our destination is tentatively the highest point of the island."
Mo Yun pointed to the green jungle that had been spreading and looked at the highest point of the island.
It is the highest mountain nearby.
Although it doesn't seem far, he has tried to walk into the jungle these days, but found that the actual distance is much further than it seems. Moreover, the vines in the jungle are intertwined and the terrain is complex, so he did not dare to go too deep by himself.
"Set off!"
After the two finished rectifying, they began their journey of exploring the island.
Moving the perspective from the beach on the ground to a high altitude, you can see a young man and woman holding spears and carrying net bags. Starting from the cave, walking across the beach, passing through a sparse green belt, heading towards the dense jungle.
"careful."
Mo Yun used a knife to push a thorny vine in front of him and reminded him.
"good."
A girl with short black hair followed him carefully.
He could hear her steady breathing.
"This reminds me of the jungle in the last game world."
After walking for about ten minutes, Mo Yun spoke and broke the silence.
"Did you go to such a place last time?" Chi Muyun asked.
"Yes." Mo Yun answered while using his spear to open the way, "The world I entered last time seems to be related to the werewolf world we first entered. There was a disease that spread all over the world, called phytosis."
"Spread all over the world?"
"Yes, it is actually a mutated parasitic plant." Mo Yun nodded, "Last time I was tasked with solving phytochemical disease, and finally found a vaccine to treat that plant."
"I see."
Chi Muyun said, "The last time I entered was a completely unfamiliar world, completely different from reality, it seemed to be... ancient times."
"Ancient?"
Mo Yun was stunned.
"Yes, it should be ancient times, but I'm not sure what era it was..." Chi Muyun whispered, "but there are no electric lights, no telephones, and there are not even highways... It's still an ordinary loess road."
"What is your mission?"
“Solve a local crisis.”
Chi Muyun held a tree beside him and took a breath.
"So far, I have experienced parallel space and time close to modern times, but according to you, that mysterious existence will actually send us to parallel space and time in different times, that is, from the past to the future... this is not the same as a simple parallel world..." Mo Yun murmured.
"That... have you tried to tell others?" the girl asked softly.
"say what?"
“Survival game thing.”
"No." Mo Yun raised his head, "You said it?"
"I tried, but I can't say it." Chi Muyun shook his head gently, "Whether it is said, written, or action, I can't express the information about it in any form."
"It's normal." Mo Yunsisui said, "It should be the mysterious existence's method. If other people know this kind of casual traveling through time and space, it may be a world of chaos."
"Yes... let's keep moving forward."
The two of them advanced for about half an hour and continued to move along the upward mountain road. Soon, the top of the mountain was near. But the road to the top of the mountain was not easy to walk, or there was no road at all.
At the top is a huge bare rock, with vertical sides, and no paths can allow them to walk up.
They had to try their best to find a way around the rocks.
In the end, Mo Yun borrowed force from a gap and climbed up with his hands and feet.
"Be careful and hold my hand."
He lay on the ground, reached out to hold the girl below, and the two of them clasped their hands tightly.
"Hey!"
The two of them tried hard at the same time, and Chi Muyun finally climbed up to the huge rock on the top of the mountain.
"Oh my God..."
Before Mo Yun could stand up, he heard the girl's amazement.
He also stood up carefully and looked around.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
A vast sea appeared in front of him. The gray-blue sea surface stretched to the farthest horizon, blending with the light blue sky. The whole world seemed to be wrapped in the sea and could not see the end. Compared to the vast sea surface, the island under them was like an insignificant grain of sand. He pulled his sight closer. He saw the reef area where he and Chi Muyun logged in, and the golden sand beach where they had grilled fish.
Moving his gaze to the left, he saw that the peak he was in was the highest position on the entire island. The beach they landed on probably occupied one-fifth of the entire island. Judging from the direction of the sun rising, it should be the easternmost end.
A large area to the west is full of green jungle and primitive mountains.
At the end of the mountains, there is another endless gray-blue sea.
"This is indeed an island, much bigger than I thought, but there seems to be nothing special... But there is no other island near this island, and it looks so lonely..."
Mo Yun murmured to himself.
"Mo Yun." The girl beside her suddenly whispered.
"Um?"
"What do you think there is?"
Chi Muyun stretched out her hand.
Mo Yun turned his head and looked in the direction of the girl's finger. He found a faint gray smoke rose from the end of the green jungle in a corner to the west. It was very slender, but also very weak, and seemed to dissipate in the wind at any time.
But he was sure that it was a wisp of smoke!
It was like smoke from cooking, as if someone had lit a fire and was burning something.
"Is there anyone else on this island?"
