Shi Jinwei remained motionless until she was sure the island was no longer shaking before walking towards the beach.

The clouded leopard's airplane ears popped out in fright. When it saw Shi Jinwei walking towards the sea, it hesitated for a moment, then cautiously followed.

Shi Jinwei ignored it and simply squatted down on the beach, scooping up sand with her hands to examine it carefully.

It turned out to be no different from ordinary sand.

The sea, now calm again, looks the same as before, except that the water level has risen considerably.

But Shi Jinwei felt something was wrong, so she took off her shoes, put some protective gear on her feet, and continued walking into the sea.

It wasn't until the water reached her chest that she realized what was wrong.

Normally, she would walk into the water from the beach, where there are no rocks nearby and the ground should be soft mud.

But now the ground beneath my feet is neither soft nor rough like stone; it feels like I'm stepping on a smooth stone slab.

Just as she was frowning and trying to figure out what it was, the entire island started shaking again.

Shi Jinwei didn't care about anything else at this moment and ran straight to the shore.

Although the clouded leopard could swim, it didn't go into the water; it had already darted into the forest and disappeared.

This shaking was even more violent than before, and the entire island even began to tremble slightly.

Moreover, the seawater began to recede rapidly, just like the situation we encountered yesterday.

Shi Jinwei lay down on the beach again, watching the small island rise and fall on the sea.

However, she did not forget the purpose of her visit. She looked up at the sea with difficulty and found that the seawater around her was indeed churning violently.

However, this scene is not found in more distant places; it seems to be only observed in this vicinity.

My first thought was, could there be an underwater volcano below?

Although the lava from an underwater volcanic eruption cools rapidly upon contact with seawater, the aftershocks still affect the ocean surface.

Its most direct manifestation is the tsunami.

In addition, seafloor crustal movements can also cause seawater fluctuations, but these should be on a large scale rather than in such a localized area.

Shi Jinwei exhausted all the knowledge in her mind but still couldn't find a completely equivalent phenomenon.

Because of the underwater volcanic eruption, the water temperature should have changed.

But the temperature of the seawater didn't change at all, and it felt icy cold when it hit my skin.

Fortunately, although the tremor was severe, it did not last long.

As the island returned to calm, the creatures in the forest that had been disturbed also returned to their tranquility.

Shi Jinwei simply sat down on the shore.

Her clothes were completely soaked, and the sea breeze made her shiver.

But what truly frightened her was the unknown danger.

Six days have passed since the start of the game.

But after a few rounds of the game, she figured out the nature of it; the further along the game went, the more she wanted to go all out with you.

At this moment, the clouded leopard leaped out of the forest and, seeing Shi Jinwei sitting motionless on the beach, barked a few times in concern.

Shi Jinwei was somewhat surprised to see that this guy actually remembered her now.

However, she wasn't one to be coy. Seeing it stretch out its big head to check on her, she didn't hesitate to pat its head, causing the clouded leopard to shake its head slightly.

His adorable and silly appearance amused Shi Jinwei, and the shadow in her heart lessened considerably.

He got up and led the clouded leopard back, thinking he would have to cook a big meal tonight to calm his nerves.

-------------------------------------

That evening, Shi Jinwei grilled the bear meat and ate it with the clouded leopard until they were stuffed.

Yunbao and Shi Jinwei became familiar with each other, so Yunbao didn't leave that night and slept directly by the campfire.

She was delighted to have an extra free bodyguard and slept more soundly at night.

On the seventh day of the game, Shi Jinwei planned to venture deeper into the center of the island once again.

This time she was determined to figure out one thing, otherwise she wouldn't be able to predict what would happen next, and what would be the point of playing?

Moreover, with the clouded leopard keeping watch for her this time, she doesn't necessarily have to rush back at night, which makes things even more convenient.

They acted on their idea immediately, putting away not only the shelter but also the sleeping mats.

They used a fishing net to scoop up a lot of fish from the stream and put them into their storage space before setting off under the scorching sun.

Without her asking, the clouded leopard followed behind her.

The man and the leopard moved very quickly, arriving at the same spot they had reached before by noon, and even saw the marks they had made in the trees.

Because she needed to roast meat for the leopard, Jinwei specially started a fire at noon and fed the temporary bodyguard a good meal.

They spent an hour and a half eating and resting before setting off again.

However, after walking for less than an hour, the clouded leopard refused to go any further and even boldly bit Shi Jinwei's clothes to prevent her from moving forward.

This is enough to show that there is something in the center of the island that frightens it, but it also makes Shi Jinwei even more determined to find out the truth.

She patted the clouded leopard's head.

Regardless of whether the other person could understand him or not: "I know you're scared, but I have to go in and check, so you just wait here for me to come out."

After saying that, he simply walked around it and continued walking inside.

Seeing this, the clouded leopard whimpered a few times and then stopped moving.

Shi Jinwei took out an entrenching axe from her spatial storage and cautiously walked inside.

As before, there were hardly any birds or animals to be seen here.

Occasionally, you can find a few unidentified insects on the trees; they seem to be the only living creatures here.

However, Shi Jinwei was wary of more than just this.

Since the island started shaking the day before yesterday, Shi Jinwei noticed that the shaking seemed to occur either at noon or in the afternoon.

The island didn't shake at noon today, so there's a good chance it will happen in the afternoon. Therefore, she has to be ready to hold onto the big tree next to her at all times.

As expected, the island began to shake the next moment.

This time, the shaking was similar to the first time, but perhaps because it was in the center of the island, the sensation wasn't too intense.

After about twenty minutes, the shaking stopped, and Shi Jinwei continued walking forward.

Upon arriving here, the surrounding plants have become much more lush.

In addition, some flowers are blooming in a dazzling display of color.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is too dark and there are hardly any insects or birds chirping, it could probably be considered a beautiful sight.

Looking at these flowers, Shi Jinwei became even more cautious.

Because among these flowers, she recognized several: jasmine, bougainvillea, rose, summer hibiscus... each of which was a heat-resistant variety.

She could also clearly feel that the temperature was gradually rising as she went further in, and there was even a faint mist.

After walking for about twenty more minutes, Shi Jinwei finally arrived at the very center of the island.

The place is adorned with flowers and lush vegetation.

Pushing aside the plants in front of her, Shi Jinwei cautiously peeked out.

Finally, they saw clearly what was in the center of the island that kept all birds and beasts away, and then their eyes widened in surprise.
