Chapter 710
Sure enough, just as that thought crossed Felicia’s mind, the same crew member who had previously shouted to steer the ship away let out another cry of alarm.
“What’s going on? All the navigation systems just talled! The radar is do tool”
Maurice’s men instinctively checked their own devices–phones, communication tools, everything. But every screen was filled with static and unreadable symbols. Nothing
into the rainforest
It was exactly like what had happened when they first stepped in
Felicia remained calm, reassuring them, “Don’t panic. The storm won’t affect us”
Stanley looked surprised. He almost asked how she knew that, but instead, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. He also signaled the panicked crew members to quiet down and stop making a fuss.
Meanwhile, Stephan stood beside Felicia, holding a slock black umbrella over her head and shielding her from most of the rain,
Neither of them moved from the observation deck. Though their shoes and pant legs were already drenched, they stood firm as they gazed at the massive swirling vortex in the distance
The wind howled, the rain poured, and another bolt of lighting split through the night sky, casting a sudden, bliant reflection across the sea
Felicia’s heart pounded violently in her chest. She instinctively grabbed Stephan’s hand. “Look there! Doesn’t that look like the outime of a unicom?”
She pointed toward the swirling storm, tracing the shape with her fingers.
Stephan followed her gaze and saw it too
It was a breathtaking sight–in extraordinary phenomenon. The interplay between the sky’s lightning and the ocean’s storm had created an unmistakable image. Within the raging whirlpool the shape of amicom flikkered in and out of sight like an ethereal Ullision.
And then, almost as if responding to the appearance of the mythical symbol, the storm suddenly stopped.
The thick churning clouds dispersed, revealing the moon in its full, huminous glow. The night sky, once consumed by chaos, was now crystal clear. Countless stars twinkled above, shining brisantly.
Below, the sea, bathed in moonlight, calmed as the dark vortex and the fog from the rainstorm began to fade away. In that instant–before everyone’s eyes—an island emerged. Even though they had expected it, the sight still sent a chill down their spines.
Maurice’s men gasped in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock.
“When…. When did that island appear? We were looking all day, and there was nothing therel
“Holy row! It just popped out of nowhere! Does this mean the legend is actually real?”
As the chaotic murmurs spread through the crew, Felicia’s sharp gaze caught movement in the distance Pete’s ship was already making its move.
She turned and exchanged a glance with Scarlet Scarlet understood immediately. She took quick strides over to Stanley and whispered a few words to him.
Stanley nodded and gathered a team. Together with Scarlet, they boarded a speedboat and began closing in on Pete’s vessel.
Some debts needed to be settled
With Fete taken care of, Felicia turned her mention back to Maurice. She had planned to bring him along to explore the island, but when she looked for him, she noticed something was wrong
Maurice’s face was deathly pale, completely drained of color. He had been forcing himself to endure in silence.
Felicia grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse, but her frown only deepened. “This isn’t good. The backlash from the venomous creature is happening earlier than I expected. We can’t wait any longer. We have to get to the island now!TM
The island was full of
of unknown dangers, but they had no choice. If they were lucky, they’d find a matching nous creature in time to save Maurice’s life.
Stephan said nothing. He simply tossed his abella aside and pulled out a handkerchief. Without a word, he knelt down and carefully dried Felicia’s soaked pant legs
Once he was done, the ship had already reached the share of the island, which appeared out of nowhere after the storm
From a distance, the land’s size was daunting it stretched so far that its edges were impossible to see it was covered in dense forests and skerries.
I not for the fact that they could feel solid ground beneath their feet, it would be easy to believe this was just a mirage.
After stepping onto the island, Felicia planned to take the lead, but Stephan grabbed her hand and pulled her back. “You stay in the middle ”
Felicia didn’t argue. With that, Stephan took the front, with her positioned safely between him and the others. Behind her, four of Mance’s men carried his half–conscious body while Stephan’s own subordates surrounded them for protection
They walked for hours and realized that the island seemed perfectly normal, much like a regular island. They didn’t encounter any dangers, and there wasn’t even a crocodile in sight
However, Maurice wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer,
