"It's back."

Looking at the small black dots appearing on the sea level in the distance, Dius knew without thinking that it was exhausted Ace.

This is the number of times since they failed to drive a raft on the sea in two days. Ace would drink a lot of water at the first few times, but as the number of times increased, he was brought back by the sea water and exhausted his energy.

Coase and Dius skillfully drag Ace to the fire to help him dry the sea water.

Ace, who was soaked and exhausted, couldn't wait to report the results of this time to the two, "I feel that this time is obviously farther than the place I went before."

"And as long as I get stronger little by little, approach the border little by little, then one day I will be able to go out and find the reinforcements."

Even though I don’t know how many failures I have experienced, Ace has not changed his original intention.

"Become stronger? It's true!"

Seeing Ace's level from 41 to 42 on his head, Coase nodded with great concern. He felt that it was hard for Ace to continue to train himself with the help of the current until he was strong enough to be able to cover the sea with his body. Then he also thought about whether he should follow Ace to train. But soon he shook his head and denied this idea, because even if he was as strong as Ace, he almost died when he first hit the current. He was afraid that it would be a bad luck to do so.

The story of the broken wooden saw rope and the water droplets worn by stones. Before that, he thought that as long as he persisted and worked hard, he could solve all problems. But when he experienced the powerlessness of human beings in front of the sea and the despair of not seeing the possibility of escape, he realized that chicken soup such as persistence and effort were just standing and talking without complaining about the pain in the back.

Therefore, at the beginning, when he saw Ace rushing into the sea again and again and then being brought back by the sea water, he really felt like he was looking at a fool, but after seeing Ace was not a bit discouraged from beginning to end, he realized that perseverance among some people was not empty talk.

"From a doctor's perspective, I suggest you take a good rest for a while before continuing."

Now he no longer objected to Ace's incompetent actions, but began to provide him with advice to help him not hurt his body too much.

Ace made a "OK" gesture for Dius, and then lay on the beach and roasted the fire motionlessly.

"Bang!"

Cox threw the last dry wood into the fire and stood up and walked into the dense forest.

"I'll pick up some firewood and come back."

"I'll join us, too!"

Dius also quickly followed. Although Ace was taking a nap, there was nothing to threaten him on the beach, so he felt that it was better to help collect firewood than stay here.

The two-day collection has allowed the firewood around the beach to be picked up and clean. Now Coas and Dius have to go deeper into the island to get more firewood.

"Do you think Ace can really leave by himself?"

Dius asked curiously.

Although he knew that Ace would definitely leave, Cox was not sure how to leave, so he could only shake his head and say, "Who knows?"

"You believed Ace so much before, why are you so uncertain now?"

Dius didn't understand why Coase had such a big change in attitude.

"This is not surprising. I just believe that he will never die here and will never be trapped here. As for whether he can break through the current by his own strength, he will no longer consider the scope."

Cox bent down and folded a dry branch as thick as an arm into two pieces, and then began to concentrate on picking up the firewood.

"I think his words might work."

Dius smiled and said his judgment, and then bent down to pick up the firewood.

“—”

When the two of them started picking up firewood for a while, a sharp chirping came from the top of their heads, they looked up and saw a huge strange bird flying over their heads.

"Level 33, I'm afraid this is not a monster of the offshore king level."

The first thing Coaster noticed was the level of the monster bird that was too high for him, and then the huge size that was like a medium-sized ship.

"Aren't there no creatures on this island? What's going on with that guy?"

Although Dius could not see the strength of the strange bird, the guy's size still made him see the problem. They had long confirmed that there were basically no creatures on the island, and even rabbits could not be found. The size of the strange bird was obviously impossible to be a creature on the island.

"That guy is a bird! He should have flew in from outside."

Coase said subconsciously, and then suddenly thought of something, and when he turned his head to look at Dius and wanted to tell him his thoughts, Dius also looked at him with a "promising" expression.

The two understood that the other party had the same idea as themselves, so they left behind a few bundles of firewood and chased them in the direction of the strange bird flying away.

Chasing, the two of them suddenly found that the monster bird began to dive rapidly below, and the direction of its dive was where their camp was.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, Ace should have no problem dealing with the monster bird, but now he is exhausted and is still relaxing and resting. It is not impossible to get caught off guard.

The two people who realized that Ace was in danger immediately accelerated their pace, but the human legs were still unable to compete with the birds in the sky. Before they could see the beach, they heard the sharp screams of the strange birds and Ace's screams again.

When Coaster pulled out his knife, he got good news and bad news.

The good news is that Ace is not seriously injured, but there are a few scars scratched by sharp claws on her body; the bad news is that the strange bird died, and the dead could not die anymore. The bird pressed by Ace was messy with feathers, her neck was twisted into twists, and her tongue slid out of the wide beak, and she collapsed on the beach.

"Ace, you didn't..."

Dius also rushed out of the dense forest. After seeing the scene on the beach, he felt much more at ease, but then he picked up his head and became worried.

"Why did you kill it?"

"Hey? Can't you kill?"

Ace asked slightly cutely.

"Not that, it's normal for you to kill it, but Dius and I were thinking about whether we could use this guy to leave here, but we didn't expect you to kill it so quickly."

It was only ten seconds at most from hearing the screams to reaching the beach. Coase didn't expect that Ace could actually fall off the monster bird so quickly. He realized that the further he went, the more terrifying the gap between the levels might be.

"That's right, it can fly!"

Ace understood what Dius and Cox thought, and he immediately jumped off the strange bird, hugged the bird's head that had rolled its eyes and shook it.

"Stand up! Don't sleep."

Of course, Ace is not a Baoxmeng trainer, and the monster bird is not his elf, so his call cannot bring the monster bird back to life.

So the three of them opened the strange bird with tears in their eyes and prepared to add a meal for themselves.

While dealing with the strange bird's stomach bag, Cox used a knife to scratch it, and a bunch of miscellaneous things slipped out of it.

Including but not limited to flesh and bones that are not completely digested; stones used to grind food to aid digestion; a small pile of glittering gems and gold coins, and a small wooden box with iron borders.

"This guy is really not picky about food."

While sighing at the richness of the "falling objects" of the strange bird, Cos held back the sour smell and picked the box open with a knife. Then when he saw the things inside the box, he was stunned, and then couldn't help but say:

"Good! Today's explosion is so high!"
