Chapter 174 Finally Arriving on the Island
"Help! Someone please save me!"
Wu Heyi screamed with all his might, his voice echoing across the vast sea, but it was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean, and he received no response.
He felt immense fear and despair, and secretly vowed that if he could return alive, he would never do such a reckless thing again.
Looking back on his three months adrift at sea, Wu Heyi was filled with emotion.
Initially, he embarked on his journey with great joy, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown world.
However, as time went by, the novelty wore off, replaced by a deep sense of loneliness, helplessness, and anxiety about survival.
He had imagined countless times what it would be like to successfully reach the shore, and even in that cramped and suffocating cabin, he dreamed many times of lying back in the comfortable and warm bed at the academy.
But every time he was immersed in a beautiful dream, he would be mercilessly awakened by the icy, bone-chilling seawater, forcing him to face this cruel reality.
With trembling hands, Wu Heyi slowly opened the once brand-new map again.
At this moment, the map has become tattered and covered with more than a dozen crisscrossing creases, as if recording every bit of his arduous journey.
He stared wide-eyed at the land marked on the map, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment.
Wu Heyi discovered this map by chance in the college library a few days ago.
At that moment, he was immediately drawn to the map of Douluo Continent, and then he noticed the map of the Sun Moon Empire.
Just as he was examining it closely, he suddenly discovered the destination of his trip in an inconspicuous corner.
So, driven by impulse and courage, he resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknown dangers.
Wu Heyi clearly remembered that he had carefully measured the distance before setting off. Under normal circumstances, even if he traveled by boat all the way, it should take at most two months to reach his destination.
But now, three whole months have passed, and all that can be seen is the vast, boundless sea, with not a single trace of land in sight.
Could it be that the map is fake? Or did he go the wrong way? A series of questions flooded his mind, making him feel uneasy.
At this very moment, Wuhe began to deeply doubt whether the place that had always been considered the target location was actually a mismark caused by the person who drew the map accidentally leaving ink stains in that corner.
Later generations may have simply made some minor corrections to this flaw.
The thought of this possibility filled Wu Heyi with a deep sense of despair. If this were true, wouldn't all his previous efforts and sacrifices have been in vain?
However, despite his doubts, he knew that he had to keep moving forward no matter what.
Just then, Wu Heyi suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, so he stood on the small plank, slightly sticking his buttocks out towards the vast, misty sea, and quietly released the pressure in his body.
But who could have predicted that just as he relaxed, he would glance up at the horizon and be surprised to find a huge waterspout there!
This waterspout, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, rose from beneath the sea and shot straight into the clouds.
At the same time, thick dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, like a pitch-black curtain covering the entire sea surface, creating a terrifying scene like a sea hell!
This was the first time in the past three months that Wu Heyi had witnessed such a hellish scene.
More importantly, after careful observation, he was horrified to discover that the terrifying waterspout seemed to be sweeping towards his direction!
The instant he confirmed this horrifying fact, Wu Heyi hurriedly squeezed the still-unfinished excrement between his fingers, frantically pulled up his pants, and dove into the cabin as fast as he could!
Just a short while later, Wu Heyi clearly felt as if he had fallen into a state of weightlessness, and the entire small boat began to spin wildly as if it had gone mad.
As expected, an unbelievable scene unfolded—Wu Heyi was swept into the sky by an incredibly powerful waterspout!
At this moment, Wu Heyi felt utterly hopeless; to be honest, this was probably the most desperate moment of his life.
Even if the ship beneath his feet managed to escape the destruction of this natural disaster, he had completely lost his way in the face of such terrifying natural forces.
It is highly likely that he will be trapped on this vast ocean forever, drifting alone for the rest of his life!
Whether it was due to deep despair or the intense dizziness brought on by the waterspout, Wu Heyi's consciousness gradually blurred, and he eventually fainted in such a terrible environment!
When Wu Heyi regained some consciousness, he vaguely felt a soft little hand gently patting his cheek.
The slight touch made him feel a little itchy, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and slap the little hand away.
However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized something and opened his eyes wide!
The blinding sunlight instantly flooded his eyes, causing him to involuntarily squint.
After a moment of adjustment, he touched the spot on his face where he had been slapped, only to find it empty, while the spot where he was lying was unusually hard.
Wu Heyi shook his head with a wry smile, and said self-deprecatingly, "So it was just a dream after all..."
"Brother, what kind of dream did you have?" A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious sound, like the gentle tinkling of a silver bell, reached Wu Heyi's ears.
The voice seemed to possess some kind of magical power. In an instant, Wu Heyi was as if he had been frozen in place, his body trembled violently, and he was completely unable to move an inch.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable excitement and exhilaration surged into his brain like a tidal wave.
This intense emotional shock caused him to react instinctively. Like a nimble carp, he suddenly sprang to his feet.
Then he quickly turned his body and eagerly looked around in all directions.
When he could see his surroundings clearly, a surge of joy welled up inside him—he had finally successfully set foot on solid ground!
Although one could still see the vast ocean where the water meets the sky in a certain direction, at this moment, there was indeed real land behind him!
Just as he was filled with surprise and joy, he suddenly noticed a little girl dressed in strange clothes standing not far in front of him.
The garment appeared to be woven from some unknown plant, with a unique and distinctive style.
At that moment, the little girl was staring at him with her big, round eyes, looking rather silly!
"Could it be... that you saved me?"
Wu Heyi stared wide-eyed at the little girl, his voice trembling slightly with excitement as he asked.
Before he could finish speaking, he could no longer contain his gratitude and rushed forward to hug the little girl tightly.
At the same time, tears welled up uncontrollably and streamed down her cheeks.
The little girl was clearly not expected Wu Heyi to do such a thing and was quite frightened.
But she quickly regained her composure, and still with a hint of timidity and shyness, answered softly:
"I...I saw you lying on this beach this morning when I came out to collect seashells."
My mother told me, "If Ali gives you some water to drink, you should be able to wake up!"
