Chapter 104: The Place of the Test
Then they did the same thing, extorting the other coconut trees.
Finally, they harvested more than 60 coconuts.
For them, the harvest this time was already very rich.
More importantly, as long as the coconuts were well preserved, they could even be planted as saplings.
It was just a piece of land in their homeland. Whether or not they could grow up would be a different matter.
However, with the Little Spirit Fox’s power of nature, they could still give it a try.
If they did not have this skill, they might as well give up.
This part of the leaves was taken without thinking, and they did not plan to sell it.
They had not eaten enough yet, so how could they sell it to others?
If there were two or three hundred of them now, maybe Mcgee would consider selling fifty of them.
“It’s so comfortable. I remember the last time I ate coconut was when I landed before I transmigrated.”
The younger brother smiled and said while lying on the beach.
The boss also nodded slightly.
Both of their eyes revealed a trace of yearning for the past.
Although the two of them did not know each other before, they had been drifting on the sea all year round.
The one-eyed man was the pirate boss, while the underling worked on a s.h.i.+p.
Speaking of which, the two of them could be considered to have hit it off.
“Alright, let’s go find out what’s on this island next. I hope we won’t be disappointed.”
After resting for half an hour, the three of them jumped up from their original spots.
There were still only the three of them on the island and their familiars, so they walked toward the inner part of the island.
It was completely different from the first island. This island looked rather bare, and the closer they got to the island’s center, the hotter it seemed.
“What’s going on? Why is the temperature here rising so high? Finally, I feel like I can’t take it anymore.”
The underling and the one-eyed man had already taken off their clothes made of beast fur.
But they were still drenched in sweat.
Mcgee endured for a while, and then he also took off his upper body clothes.
This was really too much for him.
“Boss, look, isn’t there a mountain ahead? I feel like a shadow, shaking in front of my eyes.”
The younger brother pointed ahead.
Mcgee and the other two also looked ahead.
In the next moment, they finally knew why this place was so hot.
Even Mcgee, who had improved his fire resistance, felt so hot.
So this place was a volcano. They were walking on top of a layer of magma. How could it not be hot?
Even if the magma had not erupted yet, this was a volcanic terrain after all.
But for the so-called pearl of summer, they had to look for it on this island.
If it was hot, so be it.
After all, they had been frozen cold in the sea before.
Ever since they came to this world, they found that their resistance to the harsh environment had become stronger and stronger.
It was not like before, where they could not stand it without turning on the air conditioner in the 30-degree weather.
Now, let alone the 30-degree weather, it was probably even 34-degree weather.
Mcgee did not choose to go deeper into the volcano. Instead, he led the pirate duo around the area.
Although they were able to withstand the high temperature, they were still able to continue moving forward.
However, the pirate duo could not withstand it.
Moreover, the logic behind this was quite reasonable. If they could not separate from each other, it would be even more difficult to find them.
Therefore, they decided to move together.
“The island’s test: If you cooperate with your familiar to complete the compet.i.tion and end the final challenge, you will be able to obtain a treasure.”
Finally, after circling for half a circle, they saw a notice board.
On the notice board, there was a paragraph of words.
“The island’s test, what exactly is this?”
“Could it be that the treasure in the dormitory is the bead we’ve been looking for?”
The underling’s face was full of doubt.
Although it sounded a little impossible, it did seem to make sense.
Moreover, if it were not because they could not withstand the high temperature inside, they might have continued to walk inside.
Would they not have missed this test by then?
After wasting a lot of effort, they still had not obtained any treasure.
Was that not too sad?
But the three of them were also quite helpless. Who asked them to come to such an unfortunate location? It was just right behind this test.
“No matter what he is, since he said he has a treasure, then it must be something good. If it isn’t, then keep looking.”
After saying that, Mcgee led the two of them inside.
They were already prepared to withstand the heat, but they did not expect that the further they walked on the road from the sign, the cooler it became.
Soon, the temperature returned to its previous level.
As expected, this island was used to test them.
“It’s so comfortable, but one for each of us. Will I catch a cold?”
The little brother looked like he was enjoying it, but he asked a stupid question.
Neither of them paid attention to him because they were already used to the younger brother looking like this.
As they continued to walk, the road ahead became narrower and narrower.
The surrounding rocks also became transparent from red.
The moment they knew that the rocks had become completely transparent, they finally saw the glory.
They were now inside the volcano.
And because the rocks had become transparent, they could clearly see the lava flowing outside.
They immediately felt their hair stand on end.
They were afraid that the gla.s.s in front of them would shatter. Then, when the lava fell, they would have no chance to leave.
“Welcome, challengers. You are the first people to come to this island.”
“Next, please pa.s.s my test. As long as you pa.s.s the test, the thing you are looking for will be yours.”
The system’s mechanical voice finished, and a request appeared.
“The first test. If a coconut sapling is placed in front of you, what method should you use to make it grow quickly?”
The moment the question of the test appeared, a coconut sapling appeared out of thin air in front of them.
It then floated in mid-air.
The three of them stared with their mouths agape at the unbelievable scene in front of them.
They were wondering if this was really the world.
How did it become like what they saw in their novels, appearing out of thin air and floating in mid-air?
But then they thought about it. As a human, Mcgee could even use a skill like a fireball.
What could the world not do?
They all calmed down and stared at the small green sapling in front of them.
