“How deep is the water?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“Around two hundred meters, it’s not too deep,” Mo Fan replied quickly.

“You can even use your Dark Material like a measuring device?” Zhao Manyan had to ask.

“Hehe, I improved it slightly at Guangzhou. I finally get to try it out!” Mo Fan smiled.

The water gradually turned colder. The chill began to penetrate their skin and bodies. The boat slowly reached the vicinity of Dawn Island with the waves pushing it. The irregular outline of the island began to fill their view.

The beach of the island had tall coconut trees lining it. The short ones were around twenty meters tall, and the tall ones could even reach a height of eighty meters. The treetops were spacious enough to contain a huge nest. Mo Fan was able to see further in the dark, and soon noticed there was a huge nest on every three trees he saw. The nest was delicately made, as if it was artificially woven for people to lie on while the leaves served as a natural sun umbrella. It felt like some kind of a resort.

“Why are their nests so delicate? If you put a man and a woman in them for a little honeymoon, they will soon give birth to a child, let alone the birds!” Zhao Manyan had also noticed the beautiful nests when he was close enough.

“The Featherless Bird Emperor always lived with its master. It learned a great deal from humans. It must have taught this to all its people,” Chen Shuo said awkwardly.

There were still two kilometers away from the island, the closest that Tangyue had gotten to when she came to inspect the island. However, she had been driven away by the Featherless Birds in the water back then.

The dense coconut trees gave the Featherless Birds the perfect environment to build their nests. One could easily lose their way among the trees.

A strange cry echoed above the island. The group on the boat went on alert immediately. They fixed their eyes on the tall cliffs nearby.

The island had some high terrain. The place they were planning to land at was around twenty meters above sea level, meaning that the island had been even taller before the seal level had risen. It served as a natural line of defense for the island, since the heights were an advantage for those defending the island and for keeping an eye out for any approaching enemy on it.

The coconut trees were swaying slightly in the wind. Many blue glowing objects like sapphires poked out from the gaps between the trees. They went from a few to a whole bunch!

The Sapphire Eyes were staring down at the little boat swaying on the waves. The cold looks in their eyes would send a chill down anyone’s spine!

“Damn, didn’t you say they are going to be asleep? Why are they staring at us with wide eyes instead!?” Zhao Manyan swore.

“The Featherless Birds on the island have a higher rank. They won’t be completely asleep,” Chen Shuo said indifferently.

“What should we do now? We are still two kilometers away from the island,” Zhao Manyan said.

“What else can we do? We are breaking through with force!” Tangyue said.

Tangyue was the first to react. She turned into a shadow sparrow, flying across the night sky elegantly.
