Chapter 2: 2. Isolated Island

Tonk glanced at the gray system interface again, and it seemed that it was about to be completed. He was looking forward to the help of this game system. The ship is now short of water and food, and the location of the land is still unknown. This is a big trouble.

This progress has risen very slowly. After so many days have passed, it has slowly risen to 90%.

He turned off the picture in his mind and looked at the endless sea. The sky was overcast, and the sea was covered with a heavy layer of gray. He sat inside the guardrail, the only fishing rod on the boat in his hand, hoping to catch something to eat.

The supplies on the boat were very scarce, there was only this fishing rod. When the boat is running, the chance of catching fish is very small, but it is impossible to stop the boat, and no one will expect to use a fishing rod to supply, unless there is a fishing net.

A group of unknown fish flew out from the sea with a pair of transparent wings. They plunged into the sea in an arc, and then flew out quickly, splashing waves.

Looking at the scenery in the sea, Tonk felt that being a pirate is not bad. A free life is always what he yearns for.

"Little ones, it's too quiet, sing for me!" Tonk shouted on a whim.

The ferocious sailors quickly responded to the captain's order, howling in rough voices: "We are pirates, fierce pirates. We have wine bottles in our left hand and treasures in our right. We are pirates, skilled pirates. Beautiful. Girls, please come to my arms..."

What a bunch of outspoken bad guys.

The corners of Tonk's mouth were full of smiles. He really liked this group of subordinates. During these days, he had talked to every sailor, hoping to find out some clues, but none of these sailors had much memory, except that they were a sailor.

Tonk infered that these sailors may have been created by the game, and know nothing about the world like him.

There was a sudden tension on the fishing rod in his hand, and he almost couldn't catch the fishing rod, and his body staggered. He was not surprised but delighted. After so many days of fishing, this was the first time that a fish had bitten the hook. He clenched the fishing rod and pulled it back hard, pushing his feet on the guardrail to take advantage of it.

Since he came to this world, his strength has increased a lot, but he still can't pull up the fishing rod, which shows the strength of this fish to bite the hook.

"Come and help me!" Tonk roared with a blushing face.

The sailors ran over when they heard the sound, and they all grabbed the fishing rod, which turned the situation around. Pulled by the two forces, the fishing line was taut, and the fishing rod hung its head, as if it were broken.

"The fishing line is about to break, hurry up and let it go a little!" Tonk said anxiously, he let go of his hand and let the other sailors continue to pull. He ran off and grabbed a rope and tied it to the harpoon. When he ran back, he nearly fell on the slippery deck.

After the fishing line was extended, the tension was relieved. There was a faint shadow swimming in the sea water, constantly turning his head to fight for the fishing line.

Tonk threw the harpoon at the shadow with a ruthless attack. He missed a hit. He used a rope to pull the harpoon out of the sea and threw it again. This time, after the harpoon went down, there was a burst of red blood in the sea. The sailors shouted, staring at the dark shadows in the sea.

Without Tonk's order, a sailor had already pulled the rope back, and the shadow gradually emerged from the sea.

Judging from the pulling just now, this fish should not be too small, and it would be no problem to boil a pot of fish soup. Tonk and the sailors looked at the sea with anticipation, but after the thing was caught, they looked at each other in dismay.

What they caught was not a fish, but a little water monster!

This guy is very deformed, thirty inches long, silver-white all over, with a head that looks like a hideous grimace, and webbed calves at the tail. It bit the fish hook tightly, and it started to vomit blood out of its mouth, and its body was still trembling slightly.

Tonk scratched his chin, looked at the dead water monster, and said, "Do you think this is edible?"

Sailors looked at each other and answered in unison, "Yes!"

"You guys are really not picky eaters." Tonk looked at the little water monster with disgust, and was still a little bit conflicted in his heart.

The sailors didn't care about that. They quickly cleaned up the water monster, scraped off the scales, took out the internal organs, washed them, went to the kitchen to set up a fire, and simmered them in an iron pot. Surprisingly, after the water monster was put into the pot, it didn't take long for the aroma to float, and it smelled quite delicious.

Although it was said earlier that the fish caught would belong to the captain, Tonk had no intention of occupying the pot of stewed water monsters.

After a brave man tasted the non-toxic water monster meat, the sailors gathered around to eat the water monster soup, cut the fresh water monster meat with knives and forks, and scooped the steaming soup with spoons. Finishing this pot of water monster soup is a matter of three or two minutes.

A sailor who was more able to butter his up brought a bowl to the captain. There was also a plump sea monster leg in the bowl, which was obviously the most meaty part. Tonk took it hesitantly, looking at the part that looked like a baby's calf, he really couldn't get his appetite up.

There are many strange creatures in this sea, whether seabirds or fish, they are very different from those on earth. This is also one of the reasons why Tonk feels that this is a different world. Compared with those huge sea beasts that are hundreds of yards long, this little sea monster is not worth a beat.

Seeing the sailors eating so well, Tonk was a little tempted, and the aroma that penetrated into the tip of his nose was also seducing him. He took a sip of the soup, which contained only salt as a seasoning, but it tasted as delicious as the chef made it.

"Forget it, just eat it like a frog." Tonk made a move to nibble on the water monster's legs.

"Report to the captain! I found an island!" The lookout at a high place suddenly shouted excitedly.

Tonk's mouth stopped in mid-air, and his neck stretched. He shoved the soup bowl to the sailor beside him, and then hurriedly climbed up to the lookout, even the slippery mast couldn't stop him.

The lookout excitedly showed the captain the direction. About a thousand yards to the southeast, there was a undulating bulge on the sea, which really looked like a small island. They don't have a high-end product like a telescope, and can only look out by visual observation.

Tonk rubbed his eyes vigorously and repeatedly identified, for fear that what he saw was a mirage. Fortunately, it does look like an island.

"It's an island, it's an island! Haha, we're saved!" Tonk laughed loudly, grabbed the rope and slid down from it.

The sailors also cheered and cheered enthusiastically when they heard the news.

"Let the rowers speed up, and you adjust the sail." Tonk ordered quickly, and he personally controlled the rudder, so that it would be faster.

The distance that seemed to be a thousand yards was actually very far. After their boats docked, they jumped off the boat and pulled the boat up to the beach with manpower. The ship had dropped its anchor and was deeply rooted in the mud by the sea.

"You guys stay to guard the boat, and then fix the boat, and the rest come with me." Tonk was about to leave, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Almost forgot, you all brought your weapons to prevent accidents."

As a captain, Tonk wears a slender machete all day long, but the sailors do not wear weapons because they have to do a lot of hard work, and they keep the weapons in boxes. In order to maintain the weapon, someone has to wipe it twice a day.

Tonk's slender machete was decorated, and the metal for the sword was relatively strong. As soon as the sword was pulled out, it was bright and dazzling. In contrast, the weapons of sailors are very crude.

In fact, Tonk was not very satisfied with this slender machete. After all, it was a littel bit light.

Going ashore, Tonk looked around for a few times, surrounded by sandy beaches and reefs, and only dense vegetation in the distance. This island is too small, it is estimated that he can run around it in three hours. When you shout, the other side of the island can hear it clearly.

Tonk led the sailors forward, and their main purpose was to obtain food and water. Each of these sailors looked very bold. Tonk felt that it was wise to bring them. Even if they encountered some monsters or something, it was estimated that these people would be able to slash to death if they rushed up.

The plants of the island have a Caribbean style. Among them, the coconut tree is the most towering, with needle-like leaves spreading out in the canopy, under which are hidden ripe fruits, and the sturdy trunk is curved.

No one cares about other plants, but this coconut tree is a rare good thing. Tonk and the sailors climbed up the tree one after another and cut down all the coconuts. Looking at the growing number of coconuts under the tree, he breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the water source problem was temporarily alleviated.

Tonk and the others left the coconuts where they were, and they were ready to fetch them when they left. They went deep into the oasis of the island. There were no animals inside, but there were some mosquitoes and ants. Tonk was bitten twice, and it was painful. He wanted to fire the forest. Searched around in the woods for a long time, he never found any edible plants except for the coconut trees. No one knew those colorful wild fruits, so Tonk ordered that no one could eat them, because there was no need to take this risk.

Looking at the green vegetation under his feet, he suddenly remembered the sweet potatoes in his hometown, which reminded him that the rhizomes of some plants are also edible. He immediately ordered the sailors to dig. They used their scabbards as shovels, so the soil was moist and easy to dig.

"Thanks for the blessing of Poseidon!" a sailor shouted excitedly, holding a newly dug plant in his hand, with a bunch of round rhizomes hanging on it, which turned out to be potatoes.

"Haha, I didn't find a sweet potato, but I found a potato. Not bad, not bad." For the first time in his life, Tonk saw potatoes so pleasing to the eye, as if they were a gold ingot.

After that, the digging is simple, because there are the leaves and stems on the ground of the potatoes as a reference, so everyone can dig purposefully without digging everywhere. The sailors were all strong and mobile, and it didn't take long for the potatoes to pile up into hills.

In the middle of the excavation, the rain that had been brewing for a while finally fell. The rain was not small, and everyone's clothes were soaked. Fortunately, these people are all full of firepower, and they don't care about the light rain at all.

Tonk treated the rain as a shower and was very comfortable. They also collect some rainwater, which is also drinkable, so that water and food are replenished.

After the rain passed, Tonk wanted to leave with the sailors, but the sailors in the distance suddenly shouted, "Come here, there is a sunken ship!"
