At that moment, the passengers and crew in the lifeboats cheered when they saw the huge island.

“Look, it’s an island, an island!”

“Oh god, that is a huge island.”

“Thank you, god. Thank you for letting us live.”

“That’s great. We can see land. We have hope.”

Tang Yu Qi tilted her head and looked at the island in the East. Her beautiful face couldn’t help but show a happy smile.

They have been drifting on the sea for a day and a night. Although there was enough food and water for 30 people to eat for half a month and a small independent bathroom, the long-term loneliness and the dangerous environment around them still made these travelers feel irritable, uneasy, and afraid.

Who would not be excited by the sight of a huge island in such an environment?

Land always provided a better sense of security than the sea.

“Grandpa, look! This place is so beautiful. It’s such a Big Island.”

Tang Yuan Qing didn’t reply. His brows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Strange, it was really strange. Was there such a big Island in this sea?

He stared at the island in the distance, extremely puzzled.

Although Tang Yuan Qing was not a scholar who specialized in geography, he had to study geography seriously to learn history well.

Otherwise, how can you be considered a historian if you can’t tell what events happened in which country and why these important historical events happened?

According to the current and wind direction, there should not be such a large island in this sea area.

Although Tang Yuan Qing was confused, he didn’t think much about it. After all, they had been shrouded in a thick fog since yesterday. He couldn’t be sure that his judgment was accurate.

Besides, it was better to wait for rescue on the island than to continue drifting on the sea.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan Qing couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the suitcase next to him.

He was reading in the suite when the cruise ship got into trouble. Therefore, when the other tourists fled in panic, Tang Yuan Qing also brought a large suitcase.

There were clothes, food, books, solar-powered emergency lights, night-vision binoculars, and other supplies.

Tang Yuan Qing took the solar-powered emergency lights from the cruise. He didn’t think much then, but he felt it might be useful.

Everything about the night vision telescope was excellent, but it was really expensive. This was the tool that Tang Yuan Qing paid particular attention to. With it, it was possible to provide a wider field of vision.

Although he did not have many tools, they remained precious resources on an unfamiliar Island.

“Thank god.”

Aphra was naturally lively and about to go crazy from sitting in the lifeboat for a long time. Therefore when they saw the island from a distance, she couldn’t help but cheer in excitement.

If not for the height of the rescue boat, she could have already jumped out.

“What’s that?”

Aphra raised her slender right arm and pointed at the island.

Suddenly, she noticed giant birds appearing on the shore.

They hover around the island’s coast, sometimes swooping down towards the beach, or the dense forest, with amazing momentum.

Because it was quite far, they could not see clearly what kind of bird it was with their naked eye. However, they could tell the birds were strong and far from ordinary seabirds.

“Shit, it’s a pterosaur!”

“Oh my god, that island is full of pterosaurs.”, a chubby young white man with binoculars in one hand and a pale face pointed at the large bird hovering over the island and shouted in horror.

When the others heard this, they all looked to the side. They were both surprised and confused.

Pterosaur? Didn’t that thing go extinct for tens of millions of years?

Were there pterosaurs in this place?

This joke was not funny.

No one believed him, but they changed their mind when they saw the young man’s pale face, his frightened and lifeless eyes, and his beach pants dripping with urine.

After all, it was not easy to pee their pants just for a joke.

A middle-aged white man wearing a sunhat raised his camera doubtfully and adjusted the focus on the pterosaur hovering on the island in the distance.

With the help of technology, the creatures hovering above the island in the distance gradually enlarged and became clear.

It had a large head, a long neck, big eyes, and a long, sharp mouth. Its sharp teeth glinted with a piercing cold light under the sun, like daggers that could cut through gold and jade.

Its wings were about two to three meters wide, and its body was huge. It was full of pressure as it soared in the air.

The pterosaurs came in groups, and no one knew how many of them there were. It was a daunting sight.

“It really is a pterosaur!” The middle-aged white man said while looking at the photo on the camera.

This gathered the people around him to look at his camera screen.

“God, it’s actually true.”

“Damn it, please tell me that I’m dreaming.” the middle-aged man exclaimed and raised his camera, showing everyone what he had taken.

People looked over, and when they saw the picture of the pterosaur on the screen, they couldn’t help but cry out.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Pterosaur! This was simply too ridiculous!

“Haven’t pterosaurs been extinct for millions of years? Could this be a bird with a similar appearance?”

“That’s right. Pterosaurs are creatures that have been extinct for millions of years. How could they appear on this unknown island? If such an Island existed, it would’ve caused a sensation all over the world. It’s impossible for it to be unknown.”

“We didn’t transmigrate, did we? It’s always like this in movies and TV shows when they transmigrated to another world.”

“Go joke somewhere else. Will you still be able to receive signals if it is another world? Damn it. This reminds me, I am so annoyed that the signal is working only occasionally!”

“Oh, that’s true. How disappointing.”

“Although I’m not a professional biological researcher, the creature’s body structure is too similar to a pterosaur. Moreover, we’ve found not one type of pterosaur so far, but hundreds of species. It’s hard to say if this is one of them, or if it’s a pterosaur creature that humans haven’t discovered yet.”

“Damn it, can’t you guys consider reality? If those damn pterosaurs see us, do you think they’ll warmly say good morning or treat us as a sumptuous breakfast?”

“If you’ve thought this through, get your damn paddles and get our lifeboats around that dreaded island.” A burly man with a full beard glared at the crowd and cursed angrily.

This made the crowd come to their sense and realize their rescue boat is floating towards the island where the pterosaur was.

Their faces changed, and their eyes were filled with panic and fear.

It did not matter if pterosaurs were carnivores or herbivores. No one wanted to find out by putting themselves at risk.

They only had one life, and no one was that stupid.

Since their lives were at stake, everyone put aside all their prejudices just to get out of danger.

They all picked up their paddles and tried to adjust the direction of the rescue boat, trying to avoid the crazy and terrifying Island.

They didn’t know that the terrifying island they thought was the land of danger was the place Yang Xu named Snake Island.

They also did not know that the dangers on Snake Island were nothing compared to the wilderness.

After the passengers ‘efforts to adjust the direction of the rescue boat, it changed direction and headed toward the vast wilderness.

No one knew what was waiting for them.

However, the appearance of the pterosaurs, which should have been extinct, cast a heavy shadow over everyone. They no longer had the joy of discovering the island, only the anxiety and uneasiness of the future.

Tang Yu Qi held her grandfather’s arm tightly. Her beautiful eyes were unfocused, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Aphra, on the other hand, was not afraid. Instead, she borrowed the middle-aged white man’s camera and started taking pictures of the pterosaur and the island in the distance.

According to her, after she had managed to return home from this place, with these photos, she could prove that she had experienced an unprecedented adventure and that she would be famous in school!

That will be a crazy life!
