Chapter 268 He Went on an Adventure to Skyreach
Skyreach?
Natalie's heart sank like a stone.
That friend might not even make it, let alone save them.
So, after all this, there was still no hope?
Natalie's face turned pale. Felix, ignoring her distress, pulled out a lighter from his bag and started boiling water.
"Can't you contact the outside world?"
Felix looked at her sincerely, dashing her hopes. "No."
"Haven't you thought about how to leave?"
"Of course, I have. I wanted to bring another fool here, so when someone comes to rescue her, they can take me out too. Anyway, I've almost gathered all the material I need."
Natalie fell silent. 'So, am I the fool?'
This news shattered her joy; how sad!
Felix skillfully distilled seawater, then processed the distilled water again, repeating the process several times before tasting it. He took a sip and handed the rest to Natalie.
"Drink up; you haven't had water for days, right?"
Natalie took it. "I haven't had any since I got here."
She still remembered the last thing she drank before coming here was a glass of champagne handed to her by the flight attendant.
She drank it all in a few gulps and looked at Felix eagerly.
"I've drunk it all," she said guiltily.
"Next time."
Who told her to bring back so little seawater?
After distillation, there wasn't much left!
"Do you have enough?"
She clearly saw that he didn't drink much.
Felix raised an eyebrow and smiled at her. "We explorers can survive even without fresh water and tools."
In extreme situations, wasn't urine also life-saving?
But looking at Natalie's delicate appearance, she probably would rather die than rely on that.
"Have you been playing the role of a wild man all this time?"
Natalie couldn't help but ask. She didn't understand why those wild men wanted to burn her but didn't burn Felix.
Felix saw her thoughts and nodded.
"If you don't become their enemy, you can only become their companion. They don't have high intelligence and won't recognize you."
Natalie nodded. If only they had met earlier.
Natalie recalled the scene of being burned, feeling terrified and horrified.
She didn't dare to think about it. If it weren't for that timely rain, she would probably be ashes by now.
Natalie's expression was filled with confusion and surprise.
"Do you know why they wanted to burn me?"
"It was probably for a ritual. I once read in a biography jointly published by Eldoria and Aelsgard that in primitive tribes, when someone strange and unknown appears, they send her to the sky, meaning they burn you to receive blessings. This ritual involves using fire as a guide, then giving you their best food to take with you, hoping for more food in return. But if the ritual fails midway, they must stop immediately, so when it rained, I took you and ran."
Natalie pursed her lips; it was similar to what Starshadow had said.
Forget it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Experiencing such a thing once in a lifetime was enough!
Her previously gloomy mood slightly improved; this was probably the most relaxed moment in days.
She smiled and suddenly remembered an important thing. She asked in confusion, "Is this island on the map?"
Logically, if something happened to her, the Clark family wouldn't remain indifferent.
If they couldn't find her in the plane crash area, the Clark family would expand the search area.
But after so many days, there was no sign of rescue, as if she had been forgotten by the whole world.
She couldn't help but doubt whether this place even existed.
Felix's expression became slightly serious, and he sighed.
"It is, but..."
"But what?"
Felix thought for a moment and said, "But this place is listed as an international no-go zone because there are frequent pirate activities within hundreds of nautical miles. Any ship passing through would cause international disputes and huge losses, so the pirates have used special equipment to block this place from satellite maps."
Natalie was speechless.
Was there anything worse than this?
Natalie's heart felt like a heavy stone had fallen on it.
It was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Every time she thought she had found a way out, a harsh reality would hit her.
"Does that mean we can't leave here and have to stay?"
Rescue planes and ships wouldn't find this place, and they couldn't rely on a group of pirates to save them; that would be worse than being eaten by wild men.
Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Felix smiled and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry; you're not alone."
