Chapter 586: Lack of Food and Drink
Even though they escaped, it was only from the pirate-infested island, and they were still inside the perilous Triangle Sea Area. According to Xiaohu, their real dangers and trials were just beginning.
Everyone was curious about how Xiaohu ended up here. Growing more trusting of Gu Fan and the others, he shared his story.
Previously, Xiaohu had joined a summer camp and came to the Triangle Sea Area for fun. Tragically, the ship he was on encountered a tsunami. Xiaohu was very young then and could not recall the details clearly. He only remembered the world spinning around him, his fear reaching an all-time high, before falling into the icy-cold sea. Upon waking up, he found himself on a pirates’ island.
After hearing Xiaohu’s story, everyone understood. It seemed that the pirates had saved Xiaohu. Even though they owed their lives to them, Xiaohu had been treated like a slave, beaten frequently and left beside death’s door multiple times. With Xiaohu bearing scars all over his body, they reckoned the debt had been paid off.
Regardless of whether they sympathized with Xiaohu’s plight or loathed the pirates’ actions, their first priority had to be escaping from the Triangle Sea Area. Only then would they be truly safe, and only then could Xiaohu return home.
Gu Fan asked, "Xiaohu, you can tell me now, right? The pattern of the Triangle Sea Area’s fog?"
Upon this, Xiaohu nodded, then pointed at the moon in the sky and said, "The terrible fog only appears when the night sky’s moon is obscured by clouds."
"So that’s how it is!" Gu Fan finally obtained some valuable information. Then he asked another question, "So, if we stay on an island, the fog, no matter how thick, won’t affect us, right?"
Xiaohu nodded vigorously, "Yes, if we reach any island within the Triangle Sea Area before the fog sets in, then we are safe."
