Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 1374: Adrift
"What do you mean by that?"
"The land certainly means we can stop to resupply, but don't forget where we are!"
"Where are we?"
"Because we don't know where we are, we're in danger. We've been drifting at sea for nearly a week. Who knows where we came from? Perhaps we've drifted back to the Xia Country, or perhaps to the Yuebei Country, or maybe to some desolate island of a small country in the South Pacific, or drifted back to the Xia Country. I truly feel unlucky for you. I truly feel unlucky for you. I truly feel unlucky for you. I truly feel unlucky! I am truly unlucky!"
Jiang Guang nodded. He had heard of this before. Some small islands in the Pacific Ocean have many primitive tribes. These native inhabitants are cannibals! Miyamoto Keiko's combat value wasn't high. Could he fight a hundred people, or even a thousand natives? As long as they were surrounded by natives, death was the only outcome!
Jiang Guangrong didn't dare to be careless. He carefully looked at the distant land: "Are we still relying on the past?"
Miyamoto said expressionlessly: "Is it big, small or a leopard?" "You have to unveil it before you know?" π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
Jiang Guangrong nodded, realizing that Miyamoto Keiko's thoughts coincided with his own.
The yacht arrived quickly. Because the shore was too shallow, they could only jump into the water near the shore to swim. At Miyamoto Keiko's request, Jiang Guangrong was the first to jump in. About two minutes later, Miyamoto Keiko followed Jiang Guangrong into the water.
Since they were not far from the island, they soon swam to the shore.
After landing, Miyamoto smoothed his hair, wiped the water from his face with his hand, and then glanced at Jiang Guangrong: "Go check the surroundings, see if there are people or beasts."
Jiang Guangrong was surprised and pointed at himself: "Me? Are you sure?"
After thinking, Miyamoto Keiko also realized that this idea probably wasn't reliable. If Jiang Guangrong, who had no wilderness survival experience, were to do such a thing, he wouldn't find anything.
Miyamoto shook his head and said: "Alright, I'll go."
Jiang Guangrong smiled.
Miyamoto Keiko pointed to a nearby large tree and said softly: "Don't idle around, there's water here, and the size and shape of this tree are just right. You can build a simple temporary shelter with branches, like a bird's nest, and then gather some dry firewood. Dry trunks are most suitable, and then see if there are any wild fruits to eat."
This wasn't difficult for Jiang Guangrong, and he gladly agreed.
Miyamoto Keiko headed towards the island. After walking ten steps, Miyamoto suddenly stopped, a bit murderous: "This island isn't small either, but isn't it small, right?"
Jiang Guangrong nodded without hesitation. Miyamoto Keiko's words were very clear. She was implicitly warning him not to try to escape.
Jiang Guangrong couldn't help but find it amusing. On such a deserted island, without any wilderness experience, he had no choice but to die if separated from Miyamoto Keiko. Even if he somehow survived, once Miyamoto Keiko returned and couldn't find him, she would surely pursue him on the island. A super expert skilled in camouflage and assassination chasing him in the wild would be too easy.
Pleased, Miyamoto nodded and disappeared into the jungle.
Jiang Guangrong collected firewood and accidentally walked to the shore.
He glanced at the yacht parked nearby and hesitated.
But ultimately, Jiang Guangrong abandoned the idea of escaping by yacht. Miyamoto Keiko was clever. If he left her alone here, she could expect the yacht to leave her here and escape; it wasn't surprising at all. More importantly, Jiang Guangrong felt that Miyamoto Keiko must have done something in the one or two minutes after getting into the sea. Alone, he hadn't gotten the Divine Dragon Order. These days, Miyamoto Keiko had been highly vigilant. The Holy Dragon Medal was always attached to her belt. He had no opportunity to act. Without obtaining the Divine Dragon Order, even if he returned, it would be a failed mission. All previous efforts would have been for nothing. Tian Jue might even be executed for treason.
Thinking about this, Jiang Guangrong couldn't help but sigh, obediently picking up nearby firewood and wild fruits, gathering some, climbing the tree, and using broken branches and collected rough wood to build two crude nests.
After all this, Jiang Guangrong was tired, ate some wild fruits, and lay down to rest in the nest. Without physical strength in the wilderness, he would die.
After a while, Miyamoto Shigeru returned. Miyamoto Shigeru's face didn't look good. Jiang Guangrong's heart sank, knowing things weren't going well.
As expected, Miyamoto Keiko brought bad news: "The entire island is desolate, and the only fresh water is here, meaning if there are any poisonous insects and beasts on the island, they would come here to drink..."
Miyamoto hadn't finished speaking when he drew a dagger from lightning and struck a firestone forward.
The dagger was directly strapped to the head of a snake on the tree. The head was an inverted triangle, indicating the snake was highly venomous. The snake struggled painfully after being stabbed by the dagger, its entire body wrapping tightly around it.
"Did you find beasts?" Jiang asked? Like lions or something."
Miyamoto walked to the tree, drew the dagger from the snake's head. The venomous snake quickly fell to the ground. Miyamoto stared at the snake on the ground casually saying: "Do lions live in such places? Don't mention beasts. I haven't seen animals bigger. Even if there were lions here, they'd starve to death. This snake is just the right size. It's the most suitable size for dinner."
Jiang Guangrong shivered: "You... you... do you want to eat it raw? Damn, aren't you a bit ferocious?"
Miyamoto Keiko nearly laughed: "Do you have a small brain or what? Did I ask you to gather decorative firewood?"
"Ah? Hahaha... Jiang Guangrong suddenly realized, slapping his own thigh. He thought they were still at sea. Jiang Guangrong laughed awkwardly. "No, I was testing you, seeing if you're such a fierce person. Hahaha."
Miyamoto gave Jiang Guangrong a disdainful look: "What are you waiting for? Start the fire quickly!"
"Start a fire?" Jiang Guangrong was puzzled. "Can fire be born?"
"You..." Miyamoto Keiko pointed at Jiang Guangrong. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to Jiang Guangrong.
Miyamoto Keiko pushed Jiang Guangrong aside, picked up some dry grass, a piece of wood, and a twig, and started the most primitive fire-making demonstration.
A few minutes later, the pile of dry grass really caught fire.
Jiang Guangrong couldn't help but say to himself: "Tsk tsk, it's powerful. Why were ancient people so smart?"
Miyamoto Shigeru added a few dry branches to the burning grass, then looked back angrily at Jiang Guang: "Men are nothing but unreliable things!"
Jiang Guangrong retorted: "What did you say? What did you call me? What did you call me? Are you joking? Do I have a problem? How could I..."
Jiang Guangrong suddenly froze, pointing at himself, his face becoming very surprised: "What? You say I'm nothing? I believe... we are in trouble now, and it's cold. Alright, is this how you treat your friends?"
Miyamoto Keiko tilted her head sitting on the ground, showing a rare mocking expression: "What kind of thing are you?"
"I..." Jiang Guangrong was also stunned. He didn't know how to respond. Jiang Guangrong spoke clearly. He was being teased by this Oriental woman in Xia language. Evidently, she was retaliating against him. He had previously joked about her in the "suicide squad." It was finally her turn to repay the debt. Moreover, the woman even used Xia language to self-deprecate, leaving him speechless, not knowing how to respond either.
