After saying that, Gabriel flew away.
The long-awaited flight made Gabriel exceptionally happy.
Flying over the sea is very comfortable; it's like a fish entering the ocean or a bird soaring into the blue sky, a freedom unbound by cages and nets.
correct!
Suddenly, Gabriel remembered something, immediately flew higher, and looked back.
She needed to confirm something, something Dongyun had always wanted to confirm but never had the chance to: that they were on the mainland, not a...
岛。
A very large island.
Gabriel flew higher and higher, and a huge island came into view.
This is a vast island with dense jungle, but also mountains, highlands, and canyons. As they continue to ascend, Gabriel sees other islands of varying sizes in the sea, but the one they inhabit appears to be the largest.
Just as Gabriel was about to fly higher to see more of the sea and other islands, she suddenly felt her magical power rapidly draining away.
Dangerous!
Without a second thought, Gabriel quickly used her speed-descent technique to lower her altitude.
The surrounding environment changed instantly, and Gabriel was dumbfounded when she saw her surroundings.
Eh?
Is this on a cruise ship?
Gabriel frowned, observing her surroundings, and realized that she had arrived on a cruise ship.
The Swift Travel Technique failed?
She clearly only wanted to lower her flight altitude, but she ended up on the cruise ship instead. How strange. Was she panicked?
Gabriel frowned; she vaguely sensed something was wrong.
Immediately afterward, noticing something strange, she looked up in confusion, touched the air in front of her, and her fingers clearly sensed the thin yet familiar magical power in front of her.
An unfinished protective shield?
Gabriel suddenly remembered the time she time-traveled and fell from the sky, her magic power disappearing and turning into a protective shield.
But she didn't have time to think about it too much. The next moment, her gaze and attention were completely drawn to the large patches of dark red on the deck and bulkhead.
blood.
Without even getting close to look, Gabriel instinctively judged it to be blood.
There were scattered pieces of fabric, a few pieces of jewelry, a black top hat, and a broken white high heel on and around the dark red surface that appeared to be dried blood.
What happened on the cruise ship?
There were signs of impact on the deck and bulkheads, and a large section of the visible fender railing was crushed.
Seeing the width of the flattened railing, Gabriel thought of something that she wasn't sure if it should be considered an animal.
Walking fish are considered monsters, right?
I'll go back first and ask Xiaoyun for his opinion. I'll leave the reasoning to him and the audience; I'm not good at that.
After confirming that she hadn't lost too much of her magic power, Gabriel flew towards the catamaran.
This time she didn't dare to fly too high; there was no doubt that there was a problem at high altitudes.
Although she didn't understand why the high altitude was drawing away her magical power, nor why the magical power that was drawn out of her body would spontaneously form a protective shield, she knew that there was something strange about the sky, and there was something strange about this cruise ship.
It's not enough to just know that something is strange; you need to know why it's strange.
Just as Gabriel flew back, she saw her own reflection on the sea and blinked in confusion.
How strange, why does this shadow look weird...?
Wait!
Gabriel suddenly looked up.
The sun, the sun is setting below the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye.
We need to get back right away!
Ignoring her depleted mana, Gabriel used the Swiftness spell again.
In an instant, the surrounding environment changed.
Eh?
The dimly lit, cabin-like environment before her eyes stunned Gabriel.
Where am I? Am I back on the cruise ship? My teleportation technique failed again.
wrong!
No, no, no!
Her teleportation ability is fine; the problem is this cruise ship!! This ship is pulling her back!!!
Without hesitation, Gabriel used her speed-movement technique again.
She wanted to try to get back on the deck and fly back.
Even if the ship could pull her back, it would only be when she used her speed-flying technique to fly away.
The prerequisite is that she can get back onto the deck.
Chapter 133 Precise and Elegant
The vast blue sea, with a tiny catamaran adrift on its surface.
After Gabriel left, Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko kept watching her until she flew higher and higher and disappeared from their sight.
"What is Xiao Jia doing?"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko looked at Shinonome with a puzzled expression and asked.
"I don't know..."
Dongyun was about to say "I don't know" when he suddenly thought of the saying, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see."
Knowing roughly what Gabriel was doing, he replied, "It's about whether where we live is on land or a large island. If it's on land, we might be able to migrate and find a secluded paradise. If it's an island, it's hard to say, especially if it's a volcanic island..."
Shinonome didn't finish speaking, but Kagamihara Nadeshiko and Shima Rin, who hadn't spoken, both understood what he meant.
If it's a volcanic island, and an active volcano at that, it's hard to say whether a dramatic eruption is possible. They might then have to drift at sea in this small catamaran, searching for other islands or continents.
Hopefully, Xiao Jia will bring good news when she returns, telling them it's land, not an island.
As Shinonome worried about potential future accidents, Shima Rin exclaimed, interrupting his thoughts.
"Ah, look at the sun." Dongyun instinctively looked up, but then quickly looked down and said, "Don't look."
Kagamihara Nadeshiko did as she was told, and Shima Rin, upon hearing this, realized something. Recalling the unpleasant things that had happened, her face turned pale, and she quickly closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"Rin-chan, what did you see?"
When Shinonome asked this question, he no longer needed Shima Rin's answer.
Because the audience knew what was happening before him, they were all sending comments telling him that the sun was setting rapidly and it would be dark soon.
"The sun is setting rapidly!"
"Paddle back!"
Shima Rin and Shinonome's voices rang out almost simultaneously.
"Aren't we waiting for Xiao Jia?"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko asked.
"No, she has magic powers now. She's much safer than us. We're in great danger right now. Let's row back quickly. I have a very bad feeling."
Dongyun's Level 1 perception was sending him an alarm, and his right eyelid was twitching incessantly.
Time travel is possible, and the saying "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means bad luck" is no longer just feudal superstition, but has a scientific basis.
Before he could finish speaking, Dongyun turned around and went to the stern of the ship.
Catamarans are difficult to turn around, and given their lack of skill as beginners, it wasn't easy for them to maneuver the boat. Therefore, before boarding, they had agreed to simply turn around and row, turning the bow into the stern and vice versa.
To be honest, Shinonome was very pessimistic about the possibility of sailing the ship back.
In case of an unexpected situation, he pinned his hopes on Xiao Jia's Swift Movement Technique. As for his own system, he could only exchange for items; his points could only buy a life raft, not a lifeboat.
However, Xiao Jia should be back soon.
Dongyun looked up at the sky and noticed out of the corner of her eye that the sun was falling too far away at an extremely fast speed, like a deflated balloon.
At this rate, the sun will sink below the horizon in less than a minute.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Shinonome looked up at the sky again and again, but he never saw Gabriel.
As the sun set, in less than ten seconds, the golden sky of the sunset turned into a pitch-black night where nothing could be seen.
