Tian Ming Xiang, Zi Yao, and Shao Yu both looked at Shi Lan with curious expressions. They were not surprised that Shi Lan wanted to tell everyone about her past, but that Shi Lan had endured it. They were surprised at Shi Lan's strength.
In Shi Lan's mind, scenes of the past appeared. Unknowingly, so much time had passed. Shi Lan took a deep breath and began to narrate her past."All of you were born on that continent where the Seven Kingdoms once stood, but I am not.”
As soon as they heard this, doubt rose in the hearts of the three people. Shi Lan was actually not born in the land they were in. Could it be that Shi Lan was also a foreigner?
"I was born on the Sun and Moon Island, in the eastern sea region of the continent. The Sun and Moon Island is very big, but there is only one tribe on the island. Of course, their ancestors weren't born on Sun Moon Island. It was said that a long time ago, the world was even more chaotic than it was now. Demons ran amok, and monsters were everywhere. All living beings in the world were in misery, and people lived in deep suffering. At that time, there was a legend in the human world that there was an immortal mountain overseas. Immortals lived on the mountain. As long as one found the immortal mountain, they could live happily. In the dark age, such legends undoubtedly gave people a glimmer of hope. Therefore, people carried their yearning for a happy life and went out to sea one after another. People knew nothing about the sea. They didn't know that the sea was boundless, nor did they know that the seemingly calm sea was a hundred times more terrifying than the demons and monsters on land when it was angry. Many people were swallowed by the merciless waves and disappeared without a trace. They were lucky enough to avoid the waves, but they kept floating on the sea, watching the sunrise and sunset. At first, they thought that the sunset by the sea was beautiful, but later on, they were so reluctant to part with the sunset! They also knew that the sunrise by the sea was actually more beautiful, but they would never see it again.”
At this point, Tianming could not help but ask,"Why can't I see it?"
Shaoyu rolled his eyes at Tianming and said helplessly,""I thought you had become smarter, but you're still as stupid as ever. Because you've been floating on the sea and have nothing to eat, you starved to death, so you couldn't see the sunrise the next day.”
Tianming scratched his head awkwardly and thought,""So that's how it is!"
Xiang Ziyao sighed,"The taste of starving to death must be very painful!"”
Shi Lan continued," Actually, there are some people who are good at swimming. When they are really hungry, they go into the sea to catch fish. There are many fish in the sea, so it is not difficult to catch some. However, there are many fish in the sea, and there are many sharks.”
Shaoyu interrupted,"Wait, what's a shark?"”
Shi Lan said," There are lions, tigers, and other carnivorous beasts on land. There are also in the sea. Sharks are a type of ferocious carnivorous animal. They have huge bodies and can swallow several adults when they open their mouths.”
"Is it that exaggerated? How many adults can it swallow?" Tianming exclaimed.”
" The sea is different from the land," Shi Lan said." Actually, no matter what you encounter here, you don't have to be too surprised. Because the sea is a huge mystery to humans." Some of the people who went into the sea to catch fish ended up in the shark's stomach. However, not everyone in this world was so sad! There would be at least one lucky person out of a thousand people.”
Shaoyu said,"Your ancestors are those lucky ones?"”
Shi Lan said," Yes, my ancestors also drifted on the sea for a long time. They thought that they were going to starve to death. Who knew that the storm and the swaying sea water would drown them, but they didn't kill them. They were washed to the shore by the waves. They were lucky enough to survive. They spent nearly a year patrolling the entire island, but they didn't find the legendary immortal. However, they found a lake. The lake was blue and boundless, and the green mountains reflected the green. It was surrounded by mountains and water, and the situation was natural. There was a small island in the lake. From afar, it looked like a pearl floating on the water. But what was even more amazing was that there was a small island with this island as the boundary. The northern part of the lake was shaped like a sun wheel, and the southern part was shaped like a moon hook. Therefore, our ancestors named it Sun Moon Lake, and then named the island we lived on Sun Moon Island.”
"There's still such a magical place!" It must be very beautiful. Sun Moon Lake, this name is also beautiful."
Shi Lan said," That's right. That place is very, very beautiful, so our ancestors settled down by the Sun Moon Lake." I don't know how many years have passed since I stayed here. By my generation, there are already five to six hundred people on the island. People live in harmony with each other. No one will fight for personal gain. Perhaps for a family, a few hundred people might be too many, but my family has so many people, so many harmonious and lovely people. Until that day ten years ago, when the sky was clear and cloudless, and the uncles were farming in the fields and playing by the Sun Moon Lake, a thunderbolt suddenly came from the sky. It was unbelievable! Then, we heard a deep roar! It was the voice he had heard just now. The voice came from Sun Moon Lake. The people who had lived on the island had never encountered such a situation. Although the roar was terrifying, they still gathered together. That was our home, so we didn't go anywhere! Then, the roars intensified. Realizing that the situation was not right, the clan leader ordered everyone to hide the children and the elderly first, leaving the young and strong young men to face them together. The earth shook violently as if there was an earthquake. Then, a huge object emerged from the Sun Moon Lake. It looked like a giant dragon, but its horns were like antlers. It also had a pair of huge wings that could cover half of the Sun Moon Lake when spread out. Its two huge eyes were emitting a terrifying red light. This monster seemed to have been hungry for too long and ate everyone it saw. How could a defenseless person be its match? It ate them all. I still clearly remember the gurgling sound it made when it placed a living person in its mouth and chewed…"
At this point, Shi Lan's eyes couldn't help but fill with tears. Thinking of that gurgling sound, Tianming's young master Xiang Ziyao couldn't help but shiver. How terrifying would that be? How painful would it be to watch a living person be eaten?
"Since it's so powerful, how did you escape?" Xiang Ziyao asked.”
Shi Lan wiped her tears and continued,""Mother brought me into a cave. However, that monster was still chasing after us. Its roars were endless, and my mother and I were always on tenterhooks. Mother knew that if I continued to stay on the island, I would definitely be found and eaten, so she decided to bring me out to sea. Even if I died in the sea, it would be better than being buried in the belly of a monster. So on the second night, while the monster was searching elsewhere, we escaped to the seaside and successfully got out of the sea. We were in a hurry, so we only brought some wild fruits. After floating on the sea for a few days, there was no food. Mother doesn't know how to fish, so I don't know how to either. Without food, we floated on the sea. By the fourth day, I was already starving. Then, in my haziness, I felt a fishy liquid flow into my throat…"
