“Mud, mud…”
Sharena muttered, “Where can I get that piece of mud for him?”
At this moment, Sharena was leading her team along the beach. Logically speaking, they should follow this beach, and when they came back, they should follow the same route so that they would not lost their direction.
If they were to walk in a random direction, it was difficult to guarantee that they would be walking in a straight line. It was very likely that the leader of the team might tilt his footstep and deviate his direction slightly. Then, when they came back, it was very likely that they would be thousands of miles away, and they would not be able to find their base camp.
The sand on the beach was dark gray. Unlike the sand which was hard, this kind of sand was slightly softer. Some people said that it was very comfortable to step on, while others said that it took a lot of willpower to accept it, as the sand looked like something that was rubbed off during a bath.
On the other side of the sand, a huge sea of mud was surrounding the entire island.
This sea of mud was a barrier that the monsters outside could not attack from all directions. It was also a cage that trapped the Sky Dynasty.
If it was just a sea, each of them would have a way to get through.
However, the sea of mud was dark red, and its toxicity was obvious.
Unless they could fly, they wouldn’t be able to cross the sea of mud. No one could remember the path where they had landed. Perhaps it had disappeared after a few days of fighting.
Now, Sharena still remembered that before she left, Bulanda had mysteriously requested her to bring back a piece of mud for research purpose.
The question now was, what should she use to store the mud?
The construction team had already taken away the bags and backpacks that could hold things. All the things that the expedition team had were carried around with them. Even if someone brought a bag, they would not be willing to lend it to her. After all the moment a backpack was used to store mud, it would take a long time to clean it for safe use.
“What’s that?”
Someone in the team suddenly shouted. Looking in the direction, there was a backpack that was about to rot on the ground.
“It’s everyone’s luggage!”
Someone shouted excitedly. Some of them went out for the first time and had already discovered something.
“Quick, look what’s inside.”
They began to examine the backpack. It was obvious that this backpack was carried by the team’s chef. Even now, Sharena could still remember the chef’s appearance.
There were all kinds of spices and a small shovel in it. Of course, for the chef’s portion alone, the amount of water and food could last for a week.
“We’re so lucky to be able to pick it up as soon as we left.”
Someone said with a smile, but Sharena felt weird hearing this.
This was because almost every time she cameout, she would walk along the beach. At this time, they were only half an hour away from the base camp. Sharena knew that she must have been to this place before, but she didn’t see this bag at that time?
No, even if she didn’t see it, the five or six people in the team must have all been blind that they had left this backpack behind.
“Floating island…”
Sharena suddenly thought of this matter. She knew that the ground of this island was not something that was stagnant, but was secretly moving in an inexplicable way.
If that was the case, this backpack was very likely brought over by the movement of the island.
Sharena nodded as she thought of this. It seemed that their luck today was indeed good. At least, it was much better than the past few days. Yesterday, they had walked until dark and did not find anything, except for the moving hill.
“Since you’ve found something, let’s go back. After that, we’ll continue our journey.”
As Sharena said this, she had already turned around and walked back.
The crowd did not understand. Wasn’t this a waste of a lot of efficiency? Why did they have to go back immediately after finding something? Shouldn’t they continue their journey?
Sharena also saw through the crowd’s doubts, so she explained, “Our Sky Dynasty is targeted by the administrator. Those of us who go out might be killed on the way, so we have to submit whatever we discover to avoid any waste.”
Sharena said the coldest words calmly, and everyone fell silent.
Indeed, as a team that was going out, they faced more danger than those who stayed under the Great Wall.
However, this task had to be done by someone. After realizing that Sharena was not an unqualified guide, many people volunteered to join this team.
Although they were already planning to go back, how were they going to complete the task that Bulanda had entrusted them with.
Sharena thought about it and finally decided to give up. She made a hand gesture and a shadow crawled out from her sleeve, turning into a pig.
Sharena slapped the pig’s back fiercely, “Go, come back with a piece of mud.”
However, the pig ignored her and even rolled its eyes at her.
“Sigh.” Sharena covered her face with one hand. This was why would it was said that among all the animals, the puppy was the most obedient. Most of the other animals had their own ideas and were unwilling to listen to her commands, especially those that sent them to death.
Unlike the impression of many, pigs indeed was a type of animal with a very high IQ. It was just that their image was a bit sloppy, so they gave people an impression of being stupid.
However, although the puppy was obedient, with its weak body, even if it had a mouthful of mud in its mouth, it would not be able to last until it reached the base camp. It was likely that it would die. This mission therefore could only be undertaken by the little tough pig.
“Alright, try to lure it with food.”
With this thought in mind, Sharena took out a piece of bacon from the chef’s luggage. This was the standard dry food for the Sky Dynasty’s trip. It was durable and nutritious.
Sharena took out a small piece of bacon. At this moment, their food was very precious. To be honest, Sharena felt a little heartache to give this piece of meat to the pig.
In a brown arc, Sharena threw the bacon into the sea of mud.
Sharena remembered the piglet’s gluttony.
In addition, just like a normal pig, the piglet’s mouth was very big and prominent. If the piglet wanted to eat this piece of bacon, it would definitely eat a piece of mud along the way. This way, the mud would be brought back.
As for what Bulanda wanted a piece of mud for, that was none of Sharena’s business.
However, what Sharena did not expect was that the piglet looked at the bacon floating on the sea of mud, it only stunned for a moment before its neck suddenly tilted. It tilted its head and used the side of its mouth to hold the bacon, perfectly avoiding the mud.
