Chapter 573

Of course, all these fantasies were built upon a reliable system.

As long as the system didn't betray him.

No, as long as it didn't betray him too badly, everything could proceed according to plan.

Yi Feng pondered this, mulling it over carefully.

In the end, he decided he couldn't place all his hopes on the system.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He had been bitten many times; he couldn't afford not to learn from it.

So in the days that followed, while waiting to accumulate enough Fortune Points, Yi Feng began a life of farming, storing grain, hunting wolves, and preserving meat.

He worked from sunrise to sunset, each day beginning and ending with leisurely hunting.

Jiang Zhi had been unable to find peace for quite some time.

She couldn't understand how a fish that even a human immortal could easily handle had managed to kill others.

Plagued by these doubts, Jiang Zhi spent many days on Dark Shadow Island.

She had initially thought she could use the sea creatures to survive using mortal methods, but since that day, she didn't dare go near the shore.

To survive, she had no choice but to use her immortal energy to sustain herself.

However, this not only caused her to be slowly corroded by the violent forces of Dark Shadow Island, but also left her increasingly weak from fasting.

After a long period, she walked shakily across Dark Shadow Island, her face gaunt with hunger, her lips cracked and dry.

She knew that in this state, if she walked on the flat, sandy terrain, she would surely be eaten by the island's vicious vultures.

So she could only skirt the desert shrubs and enter the forest.

As soon as she entered the forest, Jiang Zhi was stunned.

She stared in disbelief at the corpses of shadow wolves strewn throughout the forest...

What shocked her most was that, judging from the wounds left on these wolves, they hadn't died from fighting each other, but had been killed by human hands.

Somewhat disappointed, Jiang Zhi spread out the wolf skin, picked up the white bones one by one, wrapped them in the skin, and then found a large rock in a sheltered spot to bury them.

"This Dark Shadow Island will be your final resting place," she said softly to the burial site. "Being randomly teleported here was your fate. Rest in peace."

Having said this, she closed her eyes.

Suddenly, a rolling roar echoed, startling Jiang Zhi.

She hurriedly walked out and looked in the direction of the roar.

In an instant, she was jolted awake.

The sound was coming from the direction of the Black Sea!

It was not just a roar, but an awakening howl!

Jiang Zhi recalled the records she had read in ancient books before coming to Dark Shadow Island.

At the bottom of the Black Sea on Dark Shadow Island lived a giant monster called Moba, shaped like a huge python with four wings and six legs, sleeping beneath the sea.

When it awakened, it could swallow the sky and cover the sun.

This monster would awaken once every thousand years. Upon awakening, it would devour the essence of all living beings on the entire island.

A furious roar shook the heavens, accompanied by the sound of tsunami-like waves.

Jiang Zhi retreated repeatedly, her terrified face turning pale.

It was over.

It was Moba...

Talk about misfortunes never coming singly!

How could she have encountered Moba's awakening at such a time!

When Moba awakened, as a living being on the island, she had no chance of survival. She would be sucked dry in an instant, turned into nothing but bones.

How ironic that she had just been lamenting someone else's fate of becoming a skeleton.
