Chapter 1139: Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago (2/2)

”Not all islands have a name...” Nadia came closer and uttered from the side as she looked at the map. Their cheeks were just inches apart, making Davis's heart almost skip a beat.

'Too close!' He screamed inside before he pushed the map towards her.

”Yeah, not all islands have names because they are deserted and not really useful for anything other than receiving lightning to one's heads. No one would needlessly go to these no-name islands unless they are bored or have a death wish.”

Nadia took the map and curiously stared at it.

Davis took two steps away to the side as if looking around before he stopped. His expression became stupid as he berated himself.

'What am I doing? She may be a stunningly beautiful woman, but she's still a magical beast! Stop having delusions, my brain!'

His expression became calm before he turned to look towards her, ”Let's go, Nadia.”

Nadia took her gaze away and handed the map back to Davis, whereupon it disappeared into his spatial ring. They flew towards the island's north side slowly.

Soon, trees appeared in their sight, but they were scorched. There were a few unharmed trees, but it appeared desolate since these trees were sparsely populated on the barren land. With the skies being dark all the time, only being lit up by the flashes of lightning, Davis felt like he was roaming a dark, barren land in a demonic continent.

While they made their way towards the northern part of the island for a few thousand meters, Davis finally slowed as he saw more trees appear in his sight. They were lush and green with fruits and leaves, but this small part of the island seemed to be subjected to drizzle, and judging by the size of the trees, which stretched thirty meters tall, it seemed to have been present for a long time, soaking in the rainfall for who knows how long?

Otherwise, he felt that there was no way these trees could've grown this tall, bearing fruits and leaves.

Davis's eyes twitched as he wondered what was wrong with this great danger zone's weather. Surrounding this rainy area was a barren land where only a few strands of grass were capable of growing before being destroyed by a stray lightning bolt, but in this rainy area, it was full of grass and plantation.

He even spotted a Peak-Level Earth Grade Herb from this far.

Abruptly, a flash of light appeared and struck a tree, causing it to burst into flames instantly! But at the same time, the drizzle immediately stopped the flames from spreading and extinguished them.

”Oh...” Davis blinked and realized. He forgot such a simple thing in this strange environment.

No wonder the environment in this particular area was not barren but possessed the aura of vitality.

Suddenly, Davis noticed the tree that got stuck by the lightning bolt reacted strangely. The single fruit it bore, that fruit glowed in a violet hue, causing him to be taken aback.

'A treasure...? No... Doesn't seem like it with its aura...'

It simply fell from the tree and rolled around before his mouth went agape in astonishment.

It disappeared!

Accurately, it didn't disappear but was taken into the ground.

He narrowed his eyes and saw that there was a hole. He stopped from moving as he saw a magical beast peek out of that hole with that glowing fruit in its long-nail hands.

”An armadillo...?” Davis uttered in a low voice.

The yellow armored, three-banded armadillo was just about to take a bite into the fruit as it opened its mouth, revealing rows of jagged teeth. However, it went stiff and slowly turned to look at Davis, their gazes connecting.

”...”

There was a moment of silence before Davis reacted with a smile, waving his hands.

”Hello...”

The armadillo's red pupils shrunk before its mouth opened wide!

”WRYYYY!!!~~~.”

Davis's eyes widened in shock as he heard its strange cry! He couldn't help but curse.

”Fuck! Did Dio somehow cross worlds!?”
