No one would guess that there is a hot spring in the very center of this small island.

The entire hot spring pool looks like a very regular circle, with a diameter of about several tens of meters, and the spring water inside is still bubbling with hot steam.

A hot spring pool that looks so inviting to soak in is actually something that all animals avoid like the plague. Shi Jinwei simply cannot believe it.

But she has been standing here for so long without any discomfort, so the possibility that the spring water is poisonous should be ruled out.

So what's down there?

Thinking this, Shi Jinwei found a stone nearby and threw it into the pool, but there was no reaction.

Perhaps the stone was too small, so Shi Jinwei found a large stone, took a deep breath, and threw it in again, but there was still no reaction.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, the fountain started to boil.

Then suddenly, the entire spring water began to spray directly into the sky like a fountain.

She immediately pulled out her umbrella and held it over her head, watching as the fountain sprayed water dozens of meters into the air before slowly receding, the huge curtain of water falling like a torrential downpour.

If I hadn't been holding an umbrella, I probably would have been soaked to the bone.

Only then did she realize that the spring water was very hot, probably over fifty degrees Celsius.

If poured directly onto the skin, the entire skin may be burned.

Suddenly, I seemed to understand why those animals avoided this place like the plague.

Having found the reason, she didn't linger and headed back immediately.

The outcome was unexpected and unforeseen.

The fountain behind erupted again, and the entire island began to shake once more.

He almost lost his footing and fell into the water.

But that's not all. This time, the fountain sprayed even higher than before, and the water temperature also rose.

Shi Jinwei quickly crouched down to steady herself, then opened her umbrella to cover her entire body.

The water was still steaming when it hit the umbrella, and Shi Jinwei could feel the high temperature of the water even through her clothes.

Fortunately, although this one was intense, it was much shorter.

In less than a minute, everything returned to calm, and Shi Jinwei didn't linger any longer and ran straight outside.

She breathed a sigh of relief only after returning to the vicinity of the clouded leopard and the island stopped shaking again.

However, when Shi Jinwei connected the hot spring jets with the island's swaying, she seemed to think that this was the truth, but she also had a vague feeling that something was not right.

They took the clouded leopard back to the shelter and tidied everything up before starting to cook.

Because she was a little tired, she just roasted everything and ate it, and the clouded leopard didn't mind.

After eating, she went to bed early and headed to the beach again the next day.

This time, she decided to put on diving gear and explore the underwater world.

Although this action is somewhat dangerous, it is essential to understand the current situation in order to better prepare for potential disasters.

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

This time, Shi Jinwei arrived at the beach very quickly, before noon, and found that the water level had not only not risen, but seemed to have receded slightly.

Without hesitation, she took out her diving gear, put it on, and immediately dived into the water.

Seeing the two-legged creature disappear directly on the water's surface, the clouded leopard followed suit and entered the water.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei seemed to be alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely floated in the sea, sunbathing.

Shi Jinwei, on the other hand, carefully descended.

At first, she encountered the spot she had stepped on yesterday. When she touched it, she realized it wasn't a stone slab at all; on the contrary, it felt rather smooth.

She then swam forward along this spot and discovered that the stone-like object was unusually large.

She swam for about 500 meters, but still couldn't see the end of the stone slab.

Although you could still swim forward, the system had already issued a warning, so you had to turn back.

Shi Jinwei slowly went ashore and sat on the beach watching the clouded leopard play in the water.

At the same time, recalling the feel of the stone slab she had just touched, she felt as if she had touched it somewhere before.

Suddenly, before she could react, the entire island began to sink.

Shi Jinwei was caught off guard and fell into the sea. She then tumbled onto the beach and resurfaced.

The sudden force caught her completely off guard, leaving her like a fish out of water on the beach, struggling helplessly.

Fortunately, the oxygen mask was still on her mouth, preventing her from lacking oxygen in the water.

As expected of a big cat that can swim, the clouded leopard was in much better condition than Shi Jinwei.

The moment the island sank, it immediately stabilized itself, remaining steadfast despite the island's ups and downs in the sea.

After a few minutes of this ups and downs, the island returned to calm.

Shi Jinwei finally regained her balance, slowly climbed out of the water, and lay on the beach like a salted fish.

On the surface, she appeared to be exhausted, but in reality, she was utterly shocked.

While struggling in the water, she finally remembered what this felt like.

What kind of wooden board is that? The feel of it is exactly the same as the dolphin she used to touch at the aquarium.

Then, thinking of the fountain in the center of the island, an incredible idea was born in my mind.

If you were to imagine the island as a living thing, what would it be?

The smooth texture and the occasional gushing of hot springs reminded her of whales.

Whales have nostrils on their heads, and they expel air from their lungs through their nostrils when they breathe.

In reality, whales' nostrils are mostly within 40cm, and the water jets they spout can reach more than ten meters high.

If we were to be bold and magnify this whale countless times, wouldn't it match the eruption of a hot spring?

Although there was a difference in time, the feel of the stone slabs in the water told her that this was true.

If this is indeed the case, then this isn't some isolated island; it's a whale!

In the game, this setting is quite novel, but Shi Jinwei found it terrifying.

The island exists because the whale is currently floating on the surface of the water.

What if it gets upset one day and dives into the water? What will happen to the creatures on the island, including her?

Although judging from the island's ecology, it probably hasn't dived into the water for a very long time, that doesn't mean it won't.

After cursing the game hundreds of times in her mind again, Shi Jinwei decided she needed to make some more preparations.

The first thing to do is to build a larger and sturdier raft.

In case one day island survival turns into sea survival, this thing is much safer than her little kayak.

In addition, there is food and drinking water.

The game still has more than twenty days to go, and she has plenty of instant noodles in her storage space.

If there's meat to eat, who would want to keep eating instant noodles?

With a plan in mind, Shi Jinwei decided to hurry back and start preparing.

In addition...

"Hey, are you a player?" She was lost in thought when a voice rang out from not far away.
