In the next few days, by relying on her unique physique and the miraculous medicine from the surrounding camp, his condition and spirit gradually improved.

In addition to the seaweed that Mayer's grandson brought for him every day, he also caught a large octopus or two from the lagoon, with local spices and coconut coconut milk.

On the other hand, Wei Wuji held onto Chen Xiaohua and disappeared for a period of time every day. They were companions who went to the Heavenly Tomb Stage to find that Garuda Bird.

He found that it was a mother bird and connected it to the way it chased away the sea crow near the Heavenly Tomb Terrace. He suspected that its nest was somewhere over there, perhaps it had driven away the sea crow to protect its own eggs or the safety of its young.

Although it was not clear why the Garuda bird had been found outside Naga Island, if other adults were to be found alive now, they might be able to rely on the same huge bird to search for Ringa as the one that had been found in Riyadh.

It was a pity that after searching the surroundings of the divine mountain, they found nothing. It seemed that their only hope now was to rely on that cunning Maya, hoping that he would be able to persuade the old Magus to guide them.

Every morning Ashley would help Yao out, and by noon Mae's grandson would bring them the seaweed and octopus he'd collected and caught early in the morning. Although she could not speak a single word, she still asked him to eat with her for a while and gave him the name of ”Great Sage” in Chinese. Because Wei Wuji had always felt that this child looked like a monkey.

The Great Sage was a very outgoing child. Sometimes, in order to show off or feel happy, he would dance for himself, as if he was showing off the natives of the island to fish. At the climax of the dance, the Great Sage would shout Laska, Laska!

Yao Ling curiously asked Chen Changsheng what he meant by 'Laska' in the local language. Chen Sanxian told him that Laska was a sea monster from the local legends, Zhang Sha's meaning. Its upper body was that of a shark, while its lower body was that of an octopus, which moved extremely fast. It was said that it could fly out of the water to attack the fishermen on the fishing boats, and most of the legends about this kind of shark were spread on the nearby islands. Some people said that this was an ancient sea monster, while others said that it was an artificial monster cultivated in American laboratories.

That morning, Ashley had just helped Yao Ling out of the room when he saw Mae and Chen Sha and the others rushing over.

Chen Changsheng asked if they had seen the Great Sage. Ashley shook his head and said that he had not. Furthermore, the Great Sage would only come to deliver food to Yao Lin every day at around noon.

Chen Chou Sheng frowned as he chatted with Mae. From the looks of it, Mae might have felt that her grandson had been hidden by Chen Chou Sheng and the others. At times, he would threaten or plead bitterly, while at times, he would helplessly explain over and over again that he did not, and would not, harm his grandson.

After half a day of searching and inquiring, there were finally a few young children who spoke the truth.

In the morning, they went to the lagoon to play with the Great Sage. When the Great Sage jumped into the lagoon to fish for seaweed, they were also swimming in the water, but the Great Sage suddenly appeared from the water and warned them to hurry up and go ashore.

These children grew up listening to Laska's legend. The fear of these sea monsters was deeply imprinted in their hearts. They didn't bother with the Great Sage as they swam to the lagoon's shore, but they never saw any trace of the Great Sage.

After returning home, these children were afraid that they would be punished by their parents and Elder Mae, so they chose to stay silent. Only when they saw Mae and her family anxiously searching for the Great Sage did they finally speak the truth.

Everyone was shocked and saddened by the news. They didn't expect that this small island would have so many disasters. After experiencing the invasion of the Garuda Bird, there were actually legendary deep-sea monsters living in the lagoon.

Despite the danger and dissuasion, Mae insisted on going into the water to find her grandson. Some of the islanders, who were good and brave, took the harpoon and dived into the lagoon with him, but found nothing.

These days, Ashley, Yao Yin and the others had a very good impression of the Great Sage, especially Yao Yun. She was very grateful to this simple and lively youth for taking care of her and worshipping her.

Chen told everyone that the people here valued the funeral of the deceased very much. They cared very much about the afterlife, and believed that if a person could be buried on the summit of their ancestor's mountain after death, then the soul of the deceased could go to heaven or reincarnate, and if they could not be buried successfully, then the soul of the deceased would have to suffer in hell. Therefore, Mae and her family had to find the corpse of the child.
