Chapter 118 Underground Paradise

For the first time, all the survivors from the plane crash stayed together on that beach, discussing their next moves.

Damian had seen it through her mind: a shirtless tribal man with tattoos and a spear. That person killed the other superhuman with ease, and that could only mean the tribal man was not a normal human, and was a superhuman too!

They did not know, but both Damian and Aurora had learned more about the world's past, and maybe the tribe who lived on that island was from the ancient times. Maybe superhumans from the era where the giants were still around?

Anyway, that was just more questions Damian had no answers for, but one thing they shared: it was a dangerous place!

No beast had appeared to attack them, yet, but the island surely had beasts, and now humans too. It was more dangerous than they had previously thought.

"I am Ashley Venece, graduated and now working as a full-time mercenary," a woman with blonde hair said.

She had quite the looks, a cute face with a perfect body, its curves hidden beneath her outfit.

"And I am Creed. I don't want to talk about my job if you allow me."

Creed looked to be around twenty-six years old, with long hair and a beard. Honestly, Damian looked at him and saw a fisherman or something like that, but did not know what was the actual job of that man.

"If we are going to work together, we must trust each other. There's a tribe in here we have no information about, and probably beasts at the deeper parts of the island. We need to work together if we want to survive," Damian said.

He took the position of leader, and no one complained about it. Magnus saw Damian as someone more intelligent than him, and best suited for the position of leader, someone who had to think about all potential outcomes when taking a decision.

"First, we have to find a place on this island where this tribe cannot find us to set up a base. We have a tree house not that far from here, but it is not hidden enough."

Ashley was the one who spoke after hearing that. "I know of a hidden place. No way they can find us there."

"Where?"

"A cave underneath the water. It will be tough to live there, but doable."

"And how did you find it?"

Damian was surprised. How did she find that place in less than one day?

"My ability. I can control water, speak to fishes, and other things. I heard from one fish near the beach."

"Oh!"

That sounded like a useful ability to have for someone lost on an island. Damian was glad Ashley was there with them.

"We can go there to check, but we must be sure no one is following us," Magnus said.

It would be useless to find a hidden spot just to have someone follow them, and find the location as well. They had to be sure no one was watching their moves.

But how could they do that? Well, Damian had a useful plan. If he went up into the sky to have a better view, it would be easy to spot anyone from up there, but that would also make him a target.

So, why not control some birds? With the power of his mind, Damian could easily take control of normal birds that lived on the island, and so he did.

In no time, multiple birds were flying all over the island, looking for anyone. The sensation of having multiple eyes in the sky was quite extraordinary, and Damian had to remain still, focusing his mind to make sure he was not losing anything.

"I saw a tribe. It's on that side of the island," Damian said, pointing in the direction.

"No one is watching us, then?" Magnus asked.

"I think we are safe for now. Ashley, show us the way."

Damian checked everything to be sure no one was watching them, and after that, Ashley was the one leading the way toward the submerged cave she mentioned.

They still did not know if it was true or not, but it was not like they had any other places to go. That cave was their only hope, and Damian wanted it to be true.

So, he followed Ashley, keeping looking around to notice any strange movements. Magnus did the same, trying his best to spot any odd shadows.

"This is the place. We have to dive now," Ashley said.

The cave she knew about was near the coast, in an area with many rocks. One had to jump there, dive, and look for the right spot, hidden underneath.

It was not something easy to do, so‌ Ashley went first, leading the way.

She swam way faster than everyone else. Only Magnus and Damian, who had incredible bodies, could keep up with her, but they knew Ashley was not trying to go faster, or else they would never catch up to her.

There was a huge rock there, so big it touched the ocean ground, going to the surface.

"A gap!" Damian thought.

It was a gap which only one person could pass through, so they went one by one. Damian passed through the gap, and once he reached the other side, he could not believe it!

The gap went until the point where the water ended. What was inside was a beautiful cave with a pool of water in the middle and a lot of vegetation. — some gaps on the ceiling gave sunlight for the plants to grow.

"This is like a fairy tale! We can make ourselves home in here," Damian said to the others once they arrived.

It had a fresh spot with water, eatable vegetation, and enough space for all of them!

"Wow!‌"

All of them could not keep their mouths closed while watching that place. It was magical!

"This is the start of our base!"
