I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

After a day and a night of sailing, the yacht is already some distance away from Sakai Port.

There is no reference object on the vast sea. The reef went into the water after we came to the sea, swimming around the yacht, occasionally floating to the sea, like a dark shadow with no sense of existence, sometimes without paying attention There will be no trace of it.

"Is it just ahead?" My mood was surprisingly calm, and I leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the sea level from afar.

"It's the sea area over there, did you see it?" The old tortoise became a little excited as the destination was approaching, "There are reefs and reefs under the sea surface, if the boat can't get through, you have to go around a bit."

To be honest, I can't see anything, all I can see is a deep sea.

I glanced at the time on my phone, and it was now six thirty in the morning, and the summer sun had already risen.

Ning Ning rubbed his eyes and walked out of the cabin, "Mr. Funaya Motoshi said that he can only drive one nautical mile ahead, and he will hit a rock if he goes any further."

"Yeah." I said yes.

At this time, Yuanhui was also standing in front of the ship's side, looking into the distance with his kendo bag on one shoulder, then turned back to look at the old turtle, "If I guess correctly, those hidden reefs were built for that island. the first barrier, through which no ship can pass."

The old turtle nodded.

Yuanhui continued, "What I'm more curious about is, did you create the realm behind the hidden reef?"

The old tortoise choked, and said in a low voice, "I don't have such abilities, I'm just a poor, weak and helpless little tortoise..."

Yuan Hui stared at the old tortoise without moving, his eyes were heavy, which made me think that maybe he would suddenly laugh the next second, pull out the knife behind his back and chop the old tortoise.

After all, along the way, with the sensitivity of an adult, I found that behind the gentle and kind smile of this underage and reliable boy, it seemed that no matter whether it was Hanako or Ryoko, who had never had any contact with him before, he was sincerely disliked. And the stronger it seems, the more annoying it is?

He just ignored Jiao and Xiaozhihua.

In the stagnant atmosphere on board, the yacht gradually slowed down, and when approaching the hidden reefs mentioned by the old turtle, it changed its direction and made a big circle around the hidden reefs.

The old tortoise only knew that there was a group of hidden reefs here, and the specific range was from where to where, and it couldn't point it out out of thin air on the boat.

Under my instructions, the reef dived into the water, and from time to time it emerged from the water surface, indicating where there was a hidden reef and where it could be passed, until it reached a place where it could no longer move forward.

A vortex appeared on the sea.

The diameter is not large, but it blocks all the direction of progress. There are hidden reefs on the left and right of the yacht, and a vortex in front of it. It is a dilemma to stop here.

"What should I do next?" I tapped the old turtle's shell with my fingers.

The old tortoise poked its head out from the side of the boat and forgot to glance at the water. Just when I thought it was going to say something, the old tortoise suddenly jumped into the sea, causing a splash, and the shadow of a tortoise the size of a bull's head disappeared. swallowed by sea water.

It's gone.

"Did you just jump...?" Ning Ning asked in a daze.

Yes, just jump off.

Not long after, we stood on the yacht, and suddenly felt the yacht began to shake, as if it was pushed aside by some force, and a huge black object slowly emerged under the surface of the water that had been silent since the old turtle jumped off. film. .

The black shadow grew bigger and bigger until finally it broke through the water, and the parting sea shook the yacht. I grabbed the side of the boat and barely stabilized my body.

"Come on my back, and I will take you through the rest of the road."

——It was a deep and old voice that said these words.

What appeared in front of us at this time was a huge sea turtle, much bigger than this yacht, with eyes about the size of a human head hovering in front of the yacht and watching us.

"Old tortoise?" I didn't quite dare to admit it, this giant tortoise gave me a completely different feeling from the old tortoise.

This difference is not in size or voice, this giant tortoise is really old, with a cracked shell, wrinkled skin, and cloudy eyes that are visible to the naked eye.As for the old tortoise, although it also said that it is hundreds of years old, in fact, I didn't feel much old age, but it felt quite young to me.

"It's me, good-hearted man." The giant sea turtle spoke out, still with an old voice.

"What's the matter with you?"

"The tortoise you saw was me when I was young, separated by the power of a certain treasure. My body is inconvenient to leave the island, so I have been waiting here." The giant tortoise said.

Listening to what the giant tortoise said, I haven't seen the old tortoise come up until now, so I have some guesses in my heart.

The old tortoise that was separated probably returned to its original body after completing its mission.

"Come on, I'll take you to the island." The giant tortoise said again.

We climbed onto the back of the giant tortoise from the yacht, but the ship's Yamoto, who was in charge of driving the boat, did not accompany us, but stayed on the yacht and waited for us to come out.

After everyone climbed onto the turtle's back, the giant tortoise plunged into the water.

I instinctively grasp the edge of the giant tortoise's shell.

At the moment of entering the water, Ning Ning called out to Huazi in a panic, "Mr. Huazi, I have turned into a fish, you have to catch me! Don't let me be washed away by the water!"

——However, Ningning did not turn into a fish.

I was still holding my breath, but when I saw Ningning's surprised expression and Yuanhui's calm expression, I breathed tentatively, and found that I could breathe, but I didn't know the reason.

Schools of fish swam past giant tortoises, and I got up close to colorful marine fish that almost passed right by my hand.

I think it was the same feeling when Urashima Taro was taken into the water to the Dragon Palace.

After a while, the surrounding light gradually brightened, and the giant tortoise led us to the surface, approaching the island not far in front like a small boat, and the dense jungle and sandy beach on the island were clearly visible.

When the sea water became shallow and the crawling speed of the giant tortoise slowed down, we jumped off the back of the turtle and stepped on the shallow sea water to reach the beach.

"Welcome to Dragon Palace Island." The giant tortoise said in an old voice.

I froze for a moment when I heard the name.

Dragon Palace Island?

Or is it Dragon Palace Tour, Dragon Palace Island has come out, okay?

But I'm probably the only one who wants to complain like this, Ning Ning's face is full of novelty and eagerness to try, while Yuan Hui's face is calm when he's used to seeing strong winds and waves.

At this time, Xiao Zhihua fell to the ground wet all over, and rolled on the sand of the beach, as if trying to dry herself, but she was covered in sand.

I don't know why our bodies are all dry, and Xiao Zhihua turned wet without getting much water.

I picked up Xiaozhihua funny, shook the sand and put her in the palm of my hand.

"Let's go, go find the body of the mermaid." I said to the giant turtle.

The giant tortoise dragged its huge body to the beach. While it was crawling, it suddenly saw human footprints somewhere on the beach, and its expression changed, "Oops, someone has been here!"

"Where did you come in from?" Yuan Hui's expression became serious.

"There is not only one vortex leading to Dragon Palace Island, but occasionally there will be a second and third place. As long as you survive in the vortex, you can always follow the vortex to reach Dragon Palace Island." said the giant tortoise.

This unexpected situation made things suddenly complicated.

It was originally just a simple island adventure, but after other people suddenly appeared on the island, the nature of the matter changed.

【Competition】

After all, there is only one mermaid corpse,

"Let's go to the place where the mermaid's corpse is placed first. If the footprints haven't been washed away by the waves, those people may have just arrived." I thought for a while and quickly made a decision.

"follow me."

The giant tortoise climbed up unexpectedly fast, and we followed the giant tortoise among the wildly growing plants on Dragon Palace Island.

Human footprints only exist on the beach side, and they are not seen after entering the jungle.

After walking for about half an hour, the jungle gradually opened up, and a large prototype lake appeared in front of it.

The surface of the lake is calm and windless, and the water is crystal clear.

"It's here." The giant tortoise said, stretching its neck to look around, as if observing whether there were any traces of people coming here.

I stared at the lake, frowning slightly.

The mermaid's body is at the bottom of this lake, but how should I get the mermaid's body up?

It's too reckless to dive in rashly. I still remember that the reason why the old tortoise was bound by something in the dark, lived for so long and had to guard the body of the mermaid was because when he was born in this lake, he drank a sip of the mermaid. Lake of blood.

Although it has been said for so long, the blood must have drained long ago, but there may be other changes.

"Let's go down to the reef and fish it up." Liangzi squatted down beside the lake, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the lake water, "We don't need to breathe, he swims fast."

Indeed, the reef is the one that fits the bill.

I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and carefully instructed the reef, telling it that if there was any abnormality, it would immediately abandon the mermaid body and return to the shore.

I care more about the safety of the reef than mermaid meat, which is of no use to me.

"The body of the mermaid is right next to a big rock at the bottom of the lake. It has no upper body, only half of its tail." The giant tortoise also enjoined, "There are no other creatures in this lake for a long time, and there is no danger."

After listening quietly, Jiao nodded and touched my shoulder, probably to reassure me, and then jumped into the water, the black shadow quickly disappeared in the swaying water.

After a while, there was no movement in the lake.

"The movement is so loud, I'll just say it's here."

A strange female voice came from far and near, coming from the jungle.

I subconsciously followed the sound and saw two shadows, one tall and one short, coming out of the jungle.

The taller one was a man with his upper body and feet bare, with only a pink love heart stuck on two points on his upper body.The short one is a long-haired woman with a good figure, wearing a close-fitting skirt, swaying as she walks.

Most importantly, the woman was still holding something in her arms.
