Chapter 649: Preparations
It took Gu Fan the entire day to finally plot out the lines on a photocopy of the map. As he predicted, these lines combined to form a circle, the route he believed the island was moving along. Now he knew the route, and when the island surfaced, but the exact location remained a mystery. Even if they knew the island would rise up today, at which point of this long route would it happen?
Gu Fan was troubled again. He didn’t even know the speed at which the island moved. Surely he couldn’t just wait indefinitely at one spot and hope for the best.
Plus, the mapped out route was a circle. So was the island moving clockwise or counterclockwise? It was another mystery to be solved.
"This is too difficult. It feels even harder than going to the Outlands and journeying through the Yuxueyun Mountain," Gu Fan started pulling at his hair again, finding no inspiration.
"Hold on, if I were Lisa, living in a moving home, what would I do?" Gu Fan spread out the map and began to mark down locations where he had come across Lisa recently.
The first time was on the island where the Pirate Gang lived, the second time was on another pirate group’s island, and the third time, when they clashed with Lisa, was the location where the sinking island was sighted.
"That’s it!" Gu Fan had deduced it - Lisa was always heading east. So if he imagined himself as Lisa, he’d want to remain close to home for a quick return at dawn, especially as his nest was mobile. Therefore, he’d stay within the moving path of his home.
From the last time, Gu Fan recalled that Qian Feng had cast a spell in a somewhat northeastern direction. He concluded that the island was probably making its way around the route in a counterclockwise direction. He could then roughly estimate the current position of the island.
